Last Time:

"Now we'll just put you all in separate holding cells until I am ready to deal with you," Naraku said leaving the room.

"KAGOME," Sango screamed as they dragged her out of the room. This caused Kagome to cry harder and she didn't resist when the guards took her out of the room. The rest of the group were cuffed hand and foot and lifted bodily out of the room. They were each taken to different rooms on separate ends of the building. Kagome was thrown on a bed and the door was locked behind her.

"Why did he have to tell them?" she said as she curled up on the bed and sobbed. "What'll I do now?"

Chapter 22: An Alliance?

Naraku walked back into the hallway. He had known that someone was in there when he walked out last time because he heard someone whisper something, but he couldn't imagine that it would be Kagome and her stupid friends. That they would even dream to infiltrate his secret base was unthinkable, yet they had done it. He held a grudging respect for them, but that was it.

"Let's see, what is most important to Kagome and her friends? Ah…yes…friendship. If only I can break that apart none will stand a chance against me," Naraku mused. "I may have a way."

Naraku walked into the holding area. Normally it was empty because the employees of this building were scared of him, and of getting caught. He had only had to punish two of them. They had tried to steal his diamonds. Well, he had taught them…and everyone else. He stopped in front of a door and nodded to the guard.

"Which of the prisoners is in here?" Naraku asked. Normally he would just smell them out, but he decided to have a little 'fun' with the human guard first. That always put him in the mood for messing with people.

"Uh, th-the s-s-slayer s-s-sir," the guard stammered. He had heard of their boss, but never seen him. In fact, most people at the business never saw him. It was rumored that he wasn't even human because of his red eyes, but no one was sure.

"The slayer? Are you sure?" Naraku said, fully enjoying the guard's nervousness.

"Ye-Yes s-s-sir."

"Good, open the door for me. I must speak with her." The guard nodded nervously and unlocked the door. "Leave us. I will call for you when you are needed again," Naraku said as he walked into the room.

Sango was sitting on the bed staring off into space. She apparently didn't realize that he had come in, at least that's what he thought.

"What do you want?" Sango asked, not looking at him.

"I was just wondering if you would like to work for me," Naraku said trying his best, and failing, to sound sincere.

"Why would I work for you?" Sango asked acidly.

"Why, I thought you might want to have a good paying job, that's all."

"Sure," Sango scoffed, "just like you like rainbows."

"I take offense to that!" Naraku said, trying to look offended. Sango just looked at him, not buying his act.

"Why are you really here? I take it that you really don't want me to work for you."

"Well, what I really want is for you to be happy." Sango looked at Naraku and raised one eyebrow, disbelieving every word he was saying. "Sango, do you wish for revenge for your parent's death?"

"Revenge? What I really want to do is talk to Kagome."

"But she killed your parents."

"She says it was an accident and, because she is my friend, I am inclined to believe her."

"An accident? I doubt it," Naraku said as he walked out of the room. "Think about it, I'll be back."

It was an accident. Wasn't it? Wasn't it? Oh please let it have been an accident. I don't know what I would do if it wasn't. Sango thought as she lay on the bed.

Naraku motioned for the guard to come back and stand in front of the door he had just left. He then walked to another room at the opposite end of the building and motioned the guard to leave. He walked in and closed the door behind him. Miroku was sitting on his bed with his hands tied together.

"What do you want?" Miroku asked, looking him in the eye.

"I was wondering if you would like to take an offer from me."

"What could you have that I would ever want?"

"The chance for revenge."

"What!"

"Kagome, you're so-called friend, killed your girlfriends parents. Don't you want to give her closure? Knowing that her parents killer is dead?"

"Well, since Kagome is her good friend I doubt killing her would do any good."

"You never know. Sango jumped at the chance, only she hurt her leg trying to get out of the room. I know she would love to do it herself, but you may want to for her." Naraku started to leave the room. "At least now Sango knows who did it. Think about it."

Naraku left the room and walked to another room. He noticed that it was Inuyasha's room and motioned the two guards standing outside to leave them alone. He walked inside and locked the door behind him. He saw Inuyasha tied to the bed and he turned his head towards Naraku. His eyes were tinged with red and purple markings could be faintly seen on his face.

"What?" he snarled showing his fangs, now longer than normal.

"I was wondering if you would like the chance to protect your girlfriend. Your other 'friends' have decided to kill her because she killed Sango's parents."

"She didn't. Don't screw with me, I know Kagome couldn't hurt a fly," Inuyasha growled, flexing his hands.

"You may want to protect her. She may not last the night," Naraku said as he left the room. He walked to the other side of the building and into Kagome's room. She was lying on the bed and staring at the ceiling. She lifted her head and looked at him with blank eyes.

"Kagome, I have come to warn you. Your friends are not who you think them to be. They all wish to kill you." Kagome sat up and looked at him, unfeeling.

"They want to kill me?"

"Yes, apparently. It seems that they really dislike the thought that you kept them in the dark for so long. They feel that you are not trustworthy."

"It was an accident," Kagome said hanging her head. "Can't they see that? I would never hurt anyone."

Naraku left, leaving Kagome feeling more depressed than before. She lay back on the bed and drifted off to sleep.

Kagome woke up with a start. What was that noise? Suddenly she saw a shadow in her room. She screamed and threw a pillow at the shadow.

"Ouch!" the shadow yelled as it fell to the ground. Kagome snapped on the bedside light and saw that Sango was on the ground, holding her foot.

"Sango? Did you come to kill me?" Kagome asked sadly.

"Kill you? Why would I kill you? You are my best friend."

"But, Naraku said-"

"Never mind what he said, I just want you to tell me-" Suddenly the door opened and Miroku ran in, followed closely by Inuyasha. He stopped when he found Sango and Kagome sitting on the bed talking.

"Kagome?" Inuyasha said, his eyes and markings slowly turning back to normal. "Are you ok?"

"Yea, I'm fine."

"What is everyone doing here?"

"She was just about to explain everything. Come on and sit down," Sango said, patting the bed. Inuyasha and Miroku sat down and looked at Kagome. Kagome opened her mouth to speak, but she burst into tears instead.

"It was an accident Sango, I swear," she sobbed.

"I know it was, just tell me ok?" Kagome nodded and started to speak.
