A/n: Hey guys thanks for all your reviews. As you know I don't own Inuyasha or Slayers. I thank all the reviewers who have reviewed, and are going to review.

anime gurl: Thanks for the review and the lina/sesshoumaru couple would have been good, but more people were for Lina being with Xellos. Sesshoumaru is the hottest. He's my favorite character in Inuyasha.

The Gandhara: Thanks for the suggestion. I hope this has more narration.

shannny2k: Thank you so much for your reviews. I am glad you like it.

Chapter 7: Unexpected Turn of Events

The young red head led her group down a dirt road. It was unusual path because it went around the forest not into it. The forest was rumored to have demons surrounding a usual castle. People said the walls of the castle were covered in human skulls, and surrounded by poisonous miasma. Needless to say few traveled into the forest, and the ones foolish enough were never heard from again. Naturally after hearing this rumor Inuyasha's group decided to investigate. They had collect all, but two or three of the jewel shards. They had already taken the shards from Koga, and had talk to Kikyou. Kikyou told them that Naraku had found the remaining jewel shards and not having seen or heard any leads to Naraku in a month the group naturally sprang into action once hearing this rumor.

The red head sorceress threw her hands in the air in exhaustion.

"Finally, we found this stupid forest. Gosh it's taken forever to get here," said Lina.

"Uh… Lina we only heard about this forest two days ago, and it only took a half a day to actually arrive here. If you hadn't been relaxing and stuffing your face we wouldn't have wasted a day," said Inuyasha in irritation as he stopped at the entrance of the forest.

It was mid morning when the group had arrived at the entrance of the forest.

"Oh, shut up I didn't hear you complaining about taking some time to relax. If I remember correctly you enjoyed it more than I did," said Lina with and evil grin.

Yesterday Lina had caught Kagome and Inuyasha making out on the porch outside the inn. Miroku, Sango, Kohaku, and Shippo had all gone into town to buy some things. Lina had been too tired to go anywhere so she stayed at the inn. Xellos went off on his own some where. Lina was happy to get away from the trickster because he had been annoying her all week.

When Lina woke up from her nap she decided to get an apple from the lobby. Along her way there she had spotted Inuyasha and Kagome making out. Lina smiled and made them aware of her presents. She knew major blackmail was in order due to the fact that they didn't want Miroku nor Sango to know.

"You wouldn't dare talk about that would you," said Inuyasha with a glare.

"Oh, wouldn't I," said Lina as she and the rest of the group entered the forest.

It was a normal forest. Lots of trees, yet strangely there weren't any birds or even squirrels. The forest was eerily quite.

"So, Inuyasha did you bang Lina. Is that what she meant by an enjoyable time," whispered Miroku into Inuyasha's ear.

Unlucky for the monk he was heard by the easily tempered sorceress, and was scorched by the seventh fire ball this month. Inuyasha blushed, but hit Miroku upside the head.

"Like I would sleep with that," Inuyasha said pointing to Lina.

This royally pissed Lina off, and he was scorched by two fireballs.

"Hey, what was that for," asked Inuyasha.

"That was for being an ass," said Lina as she continued with the rest of the group through the forest. Unlucky for the group all the noise had not gone unnoticed.

A demon came out from the trees. It did not appear human. In fact it was very inhuman looking. It was blue and had the head of a frog, the winds of a swoon, and the body of a bear.

"That's some freaky demon," said Shippo.

"Why don't you go make yourself useful and kill it for us," said Lina to Inuyasha.

Inuyasha turned and glared at Lina, "What the hells wrong with you? Can't kill such a weak demon?"

"Yes, I just thought you needed some practice since I have been slaying all the demons," said Lina defensively.

Shippo whispered to Sango, "If you didn't know any better you would think they were an old married couple."

Sango only nodded.

Unfortunately Lina had heard Shippo's comment and sent him a death glare.

"Is there anything she doesn't hear," asked Shippo to no one in particular.

Xellos answered from behind and said, "No, not likely. Lina hears almost everything."

Lina and Inuyasha had stopped bickering and Inuyasha had decided to take care of the demon. Inuyasha with drew his sword and rushed the demon.

"Wind Scare," Inuyasha cried.

The power from the wind scare cleared a quarter of a mile of the forest, and had surrounded the area with smoke. Finally the spoke cleared, and to the groups surprise the demon was still there.

"What the hell. This demons weak, so weak I can't summon up my back lash wave, yet it's strong enough to take my wind scare," said Inuyasha in amazement.

"It would appear that way," said Miroku observing the scene.

"Inuyasha, can't you do anything right. Must I always be the one to slay your demons," said Lina in a cocky manner.

"Listen you shrimp bean," started Inuyasha, but was cut off by Kagome.

"Would you to stop fighting for one second, you're driving me crazy. You're acting like brother and sister constantly fighting for attention. WELL STOP," ordered Kagome.

"Yeah Lina stop acting immature," said Inuyasha childishly.

Kagome sent him a death glare, which silenced the half demon.

Lina glared at their opponent. She was sick of facing demons every day. Oh, how she missed the life of robbing bandits. Those were the days. She felt the energy this demon was emitting, and knew it was no ordinary lesser demon. This called for one thing, the Ragna Blade.

"Ragna Blade," Lina said as she summoned the dark sword of the Lord of Nightmares.

Inuyasha glared at the dark energy sword. Throughout his travels with Lina he had seen her use many spells; however, he had never seen such a spell that conjured up this amount of dark energy.

Lina stupidly rushed the frog like demon, and the intelligent demon teleported out of the way, and behind a surprised Lina. Lina tried to turn around to strike the demon; however despite his size the demon moved very quickly out of the way.

Xellos watched in amusement as Lina tried to slash the demon with her sword. She was getting exhausted, and dispelled the Ragna Blade. Now Lina had tried to predict where the demon would be and threw random fireballs. He dodged all the attacks that Lina lashed out at him. The demon was moving at a speed not even Koga could keep up with when he had the jewel shards.

The group only watched with mild interest, but did not help because the last time they did they were hit with one of Lina's fireballs. An experience they did not want to repeat, even if it was by accident. So needless to say if Lina wanted to handle the demon they let her. If she needed any help she would ask.

As Lina threw random fireballs at the frog demon he finally disappeared from sight, only to reappear behind Lina. He placed a collar on Lina's neck, and stabbed her in the back with his claws. Lina fell to the ground intently. She tried to summon up a spell to blast the demon, but she couldn't tap into her magical powers. Thus she couldn't heal herself.

Xellos eyes widen when he saw this inferior demon injure his Lina. He immediately threw a spell at the demon that would surely send it into oblivion; however, it was deflected by barrier. Kagura had stepped out from behind a tree and made her presence known to the group.

The others were able to get Lina away from the demon. Kagome tried to stop Lina's bleeding while Sango, Inuyasha, Miroku, and a furious Xellos were ready to kill Kagura.

"Nice to see all of you again. Haven't seen you in a while Kohaku," said Kagura smugly.

Kohaku said nothing and glared ar her.

"I wish I could say the same," said Miroku gritting his teeth. Lina may fireball him at least once a week, but she still was his friend, and no one hurt his friends.

"Oh, a little upset that your friend is dying. You will not be able keep her from dying. The collar Gimco placed on her nick disables her powers, thus she is not able to heal herself. Also his claws are poisonous, so even if you stop the bleeding the poison will kill her," said Kagura.

Xellos disappeared and slashed Gimco from behind while Kagura gloated over the situation. This instantly killed the frog demon. The usual happy trickster was a very unhappy priest today after seeing his love attacked. Kagura was caught off guard, which made it easy for Xellos to grab her neck.

"Tell me how to save Lina," said Xellos glaring at Kagura furious purple eyes.

Kagura motioned that she couldn't breathe. Xellos released his grip on her, and jammed his foot into her chest.

"Talk now," said Xellos with a little irritation.

Kagura on the grown said, "The only was to save the girl is to let me take her to Naraku's castle."

"Then were all going," said Inuyasha.

"No, I can only take the girl. Naraku wants her," gasp Kagura.

Xellos jammed his foot harder into Kagura's chest, "What does he want her for?"

"I don't know. Honest."

Xellos picked Kagura up, and grabbed her by the collar, "I won't ask again. What does Naraku want," he asked holding and energy ball in his other hand.

Kagura in fear of what Xellos might do to her said, "He's planning to use her to kill Inuyasha, and take the jewel shards."

"Inuyasha her heart beat is increasing. If it continues she'll die," said Kagome in a worried voice.

Xellos glanced over at Lina's condition. Indeed she needed some serious medical attention. Her eyes were closed and she was breathing heavily.

"Take her and get out of my sight. If she dies though you'll be the first one I go looking for," said Xellos as he released Kagura.

Kagura quickly took Lina and placed her on her feather. The two departed for Naraku's castle.

The group watched Lina leave. Xellos closed his eyes and his usual mask returned.

"Damn, how are we going to find Lina," asked Inuyasha to no one in particular.

"I hope Miss Lina will be all right," said a worried Kohaku.

"Don't worry I'm sure she'll be find," said Sango even though she wasn't so sure of her response.

Xellos smile was on and he spoke, "I put a tracking spell on Kagura. She'll lead us right to Naraku, and after Lina is healed we will kill him. Oh, how I will enjoy destroying that pathetic half demon."

The rest of the group nodded.

"I guess will fallow you then Mr.Xellos," said Kagome.

Xellos lead the way and the rest of the group followed. They had never seen Xellos angry. They figured Xellos really did care about Lina, and Inuyasha wasn't about to let Naraku use Lina against him and his group. He knew Lina would be a tuff opponent. Her problem was she hadn't taken the demon seriously, and ended up getting hurt. Inuyasha ended his train of thought and the group walked in silence as the headed towards Naraku's castle.

Scene change.

Kagura had brought Lina to Naraku castle. Naraku was waiting for Kagura and Lina in his room. He was currently in his human form. He had long black hair, and traditional Japanese clothing. He wore a bluish purple karate like suite. The room he was in was very traditional as well. It had sliding doors, and the walls were painted white. There was a little coffee table and pillows beside it. Naraku was sitting down on a pillow and drinking tea. Around the room there were various pictures of landscapes and people. All in all the room was bare.

Kanna the little girl with white hair dressed in white entered the room and laid a mat on the floor. Shortly after this was done Kagura came in with Lina floating on the feather. She placed the red head on the mat that Kanna had laid out.

"Very good Kagura, I am glad to see that you were able to complete your task. Leave us I will deal with the girl," said Naraku to his two servants.

Kanna and Kagura left the room. Now the unconscious Lina was all alone with Naraku.

Naraku got up from his seat and went to carry out his plan, but first he would have to heal the young red head.

End of Chapter 7

A/N: Hope you liked it. Gimco is some character I made up. I know Xellos was a little out of character, and I am sorry. I know Kohaku may seem like he's in there randomly, but that's because I forgot I saved him last time. I know there are mistakes, but I have read this story about ten times and I'm ready for y'all to read it. Anyways the end is coming for this story. I'll probably tie up all lose ends in the next chapter. Some one told me the story was too predictable, so I decided to have the group run into some adversity. Anyways hope you liked it and please review.
