Disclaimer: Inuyasha and its characters do not belong to me... blah blah blah.

Here I go again, making every attempt possible to entertain you people... anyway, here's chapter 3.


Chapter 3

Sesshomaru continued running through the forest with a screaming Kagome under his arm. Inuyasha was on his tail, which only meant that everything was going according to plan. There it stood, Naraku's castle and the barrier surrounding it. Sesshomaru stopped just in front of the barrier, put Kagome down and waited patiently for his little brother.

Inuyasha finally showed up about 5 minutes after Sesshomaru had arrived.

"Sesshomaru, let Kagome go or I'll kill ya." Inuyasha threatened.

"Come and fight me, little brother." Sesshomaru said menacingly as he watched Inuyasha draw his sword.

"If that's what you want, that's what you'll get." Inuyasha yelled as he jumped and swung Tetsusaiga at his brother.

Sesshomaru quickly dodged out of the oncoming sword's path, making Inuyasha hit the barrier that lay just behind him.

Inuyasha's jaw dropped as the barrier disapated, "What the hell?" he asked in confusion.

"Thank you Inuyasha." Sesshomaru kidded as he walked through the newly made gap in the barrier.

"You tricked me you bastard!" Inuyasha screamed after his brother. He turned to face Kagome, "Kagome, I'm going in, I'm not gonna let him kill Naraku."

Kagome stood and pointed a finger in Inuyasha's face, "No you won't, and you know that you aren't strong enough to defeat Naraku, you'll get yourself killed." she said.

"No I won't," Inuyasha protested, "I'm not a weak human like you, Naraku can't kill me."

Kagome was getting annoyed, "Weak human!" she screamed. There was only one way to deal with Inuyasha when he got so stubborn, "Let's just see who's weak, sit boy!"

Inuyasha was quickly thrown face-first on the ground. The barrier closed back while he was 'pre-occupied'. This time, Tetsusaiga couldn't break it.


Rin was still being held up in that dark, musty basement cell. Again, she tried to strike some kind of conversation with Kagura.

"So, what do you do while you're in here?" she asked, hoping for an answer.

Nothing came from Kagura's lips but a disgusted groan.

Rin tried again, "Do you know what's gonna happen to me?"

Kagura finally looked up at the pitiful looking girl across the room from her, "I might but, you'll know too soon enough." she answered.

I'll know soon enough? Is that the best answer she can give me? I think she knows what Naraku has planned for me, she just doesn't want to tell, and she most definitely isn't the friendliest person in the world. What am I gonna do? I need to find a way out of here before Naraku shows up again, but that's not possible with these shackles on...

Kagura must have known what was going to happen because just as she said, 'you'll know soon enough', Kanna walked through the cell door. She walked slowly up to Rin and unlocked her shackles. Rin looked up at the ghostly girl with a very confused look on her face.

"Naraku-sama would like to see you now." Kanna spoke quietly.

Yet another strange look settled on Rin's face, she wasn't sure if she could trust this girl. She looked over to Kagura only to be told:

"You heard Kanna, now go follow her." Kagura instructed. "Kanna, you are letting me out too?"

Kanna looked up at her sister, "Naraku-sama did not instruct me to let you go, only her."

"Fine then, have a good time with Naraku." Kagura chuckled as Rin walked off with Kanna.

Rin follewed Kanna closely down the twisting corridors of the castle. She didn't want to be so close to the ghostly little girl but, she would rather not get lost in such a large castle. Finally, they came to a door and Kanna instructed her to go in. The little girl left shortly after Rin had gotten into that room.

Rin looked around, the room was so dark, she couldn't see a thing. There were no windows, candles, or lights of any other kind.

Wonder why this room is so dark? More importantly, I wonder who's room this is. Hopefully Kagura was wrong and Naraku doesn't want such things from me.

A sick feeling settled in Rin's stomach as she looked over to the darkest corner of the room and saw two crimson orbs floating in the air, those were the same eyes that had greeted her at the doorway earlier that day. Naraku was in the room, and he had obviously been waiting for her to come in.

"Well, Rin you don't look so well after being in the basement cell all day. How about we change you into another kimono?" he asked nicely.

Rin blushed, "I haven't any other clothing to change into." she answered as she brushed the dust and dirt off of her kimono.

"That will be just fine." Naraku replied seductively.

Naraku leaned toward her and cupped her face in his hands. He brought her face closer to him and kissed her on the lips. His kiss grew more passionate as he reached down and untied the sash of her kimono. The kimono fell silently to the floor around her feet.

Rin wanted to push him away, to make him stop, but she knew that he was the one in control, not her. If she tried to push him away she would be put back in the basement or worse, killed.

This can't be happening, this can't be happening, this can't be happening. Rin thought as Naraku forced her onto his bed.

Soon enough Naraku was hovering overtop of her, he was just as naked as she. The next two hours was hell for Rin until Naraku finally fell asleep holding her in his arms. Rin couldn't sleep, not after that, Naraku had pratically killed her just now, she wasn't sure how much longer she'd be able to keep herself breathing.

Oh God, that didn't just happen. I'm such a bad liar, that did just happen. I'm so tired, but I can't sleep, I'm afriad to sleep.

She couldn't stay awake any longer, she slowly drifted off to sleep, even though she was in Naraku's arms.


Sesshomaru walked slowly through Naraku's castle.

How could anyone find their way around this place? Lucky for me I can still get Rin's scent, but she's far from here, maybe on the opposite side of this place.

He walked through Naraku's castle, the twists and turns confused him. There was no way just to go straight through the castle, and if he walked outside the demons surrounding the castle would surely see him. He heard a noise from behind him, and turned to see what it came from. The first incarnation of Naraku, Kanna, stood behind him, mirror in hand.

He surely couldn't attack the girl, she would only throw it back at him, he knew this from watching his little brother make attempts to fight her.

"Where is Naraku?" he asked Kanna.

"I do not know where Naraku-sama is" Kanna lied.

"Well than, you are useless." Sesshomaru said as he turned and moved as quickly away from the girl as he could. She obviously didn't want him to know where Naraku was, but wherever he was Rin was surely with him, Sesshomaru knew that much.

As he was trying to get away from Kanna so quickly he ran into a door. The door collapsed with a loud sound, a very loud sound. Did he just give away his cover? Could Naraku have heard the crash? If he hadn't heard the crash, would Kanna tell him of the intruder? Sesshomaru could only hope not, he had to save Rin fast.


I've had a serious case of writers block the past few days and this chapter didn't really turn out as well as I had hoped. This story will probably be around 6 chapters long, but the chapters are going to start getting much longer, so far I've been lazy.

Remember reviewing keeps me writing.
