Chapter 15: trapped
Naraku grabbed Kagome by the arm and pulled her to him forcefully, trying to kiss her.
Kagome twisted her head away from his disgusting lips and slapped him hard across the face with his free hand.
Its like she never touched him. His facial expression never changed as he shoved her up against the wall, crushing his body against hers.
She gasped in pain and his lips quickly descended upon hers.
The same cold feeling that she feared more then anything swept over her when he touched her. She could feel herself becoming weaker.
He was draining her power from her.
Building up whatever strength she had, she blasted him across the room in a burst of pink light.
When the light dimmed she gasped.
He was standing across the room from her, dusting himself off.
He took a step toward her and Kagome sent another wave of power at him, but he merely waved his hand and it was gone.
"You caught me off guard last time priestess. This time you won't be so lucky," he smirked.
Suddenly his eyes widened and Kagome found herself in immense pain. It felt like her blood was on fire.
She screamed in pain and Naraku laughed, releasing his hold on her.
"That's just a taste of the power I possess," he hissed as he pulled Kagome up by her neck.
He lifted her off the ground and she clawed at his arm, choking for air.
Naraku pressed her back up against the wall while his other hand began to roam around the edge of Kagome's shirt.
Kagome's foot suddenly came out and connected with Naraku's manhood.
Pain registered on his face as he dropped her to the ground.
He recovered faster then Kagome did and he kicked her in the ribs.
"Ahh!" Kagome yelled as pain rattled through her.
Naraku laughed.
"W-why are you d-doing this?" Kagome asked.
"Because I can," he hissed in her ear and then threw her across the floor until she rammed into the opposite wall.
"I k-know what you did to Hikaru!" Kagome yelled, "You're j-just some sick pervert who gets his k-kicks by stalking defenseless girls."
Naraku smiled, "Something like that I suppose. But last time my fun was ruined by that stupid Takahashi."
That's right…Sesshomaru had stopped him.
"Well, ever since then, Sesshomaru didn't exactly trust me. He's been checking up on me every so often. When he found out that I was coming after you, he tried to warn you," Naraku hissed, bitterness in his voice.
"Y-you…you threatened to hurt Rin," Kagome exclaimed, "You bastard!"
Naraku smiled, "He cares more for that human child then he does his own life. She was the key to his silence, but he still felt obligated to try his best to warn you. He always knew that I was watching though, so he was careful."
"How did you do it? How were you watching me? I would have sensed you if you were around," Kagome asked.
"I have my ways. An accomplice of mine, Kanna, was especially helpful. By using a mirror that has been passed down through her family for generations, she has the power to conjure the image of anyone I desire," he sniggered.
Kagome remembered the girl named Kanna. She and Kagura hung out with Naraku. Kanna was the younger one who look kind of albino.
"But I didn't see that Sesshomaru as much of a threat…but then there was Kouga," Naraku thought to himself.
"You poisoned him, didn't you?"
He nodded, "I saw him kiss you so passionately in the parking lot that day. He would have gotten in the way, so I had to dispose of him. If you had not found him so quickly, my poison would have had the time to finish the job properly."
Kagome gasped…
He had tried to kill Kouga?
Sick bastard…
"After Kouga was taken care of I thought I was home free. But I had over looked a certain half demon."
"Inuyasha…" Kagome whispered.
Naraku nodded as he stepped closer to Kagome, "He had fallen in love with you, and that was the worst thing that could have happened. He's a stupid boy, but if he is passionate about something then even I wouldn't have a chance against him…so I had to somehow separate the two of you. My chance came at the dance…"
Kagome could have died right then and there…
The dance…
"You mean…"
"Yes, I planned it all priestess. I convinced Kikyo to kiss Inuyasha. You see, she still has feelings for the half demon and she figured that if she did this for me, then he would leave you," Naraku smirked.
Kagome was in shock…
All the pain they had gone through….
It was all because of him…
"But of course, as the smitten idiots you are, you had to go and make up," Naraku grabbed Kagome by her arms and picked her up, throwing her on the bed.
"But I'll still have my fun priestess," he said as he pinned her down.
Kagome screamed again and struggled to get away from him, but he was too strong.
He began to place rough kisses along her neck and chest bone. His hands began to creep under her shirt and she clawed at his back, begging him to stop.
"Keep begging priestess, you only make me want you more," he hissed in her ear before biting at her earlobe.
Kagome felt hot tears run down her cheeks as she fought desperately to get him off her.
Suddenly she kneed him in the groin and he released her.
Works every time…
Taking the opportunity, she rolled out from under him and ran out her bedroom door and down the stairs.
If she could just make it to her front door…
She was halfway through the living room when she was tackled from behind. She screamed as she went crashing to the floor.
Naraku pulled her under him and viciously ripped at her shirt.
"Get off me Naraku!" Kagome yelled as she beat at his chest.
He grabbed her wrists and pinned then above with one hand, while the other ripped off her shirt, leaving her in her bra.
"You just don't understand priestess," he hiss as he leaned heavily on her, "If I want something…then I take it."
This just made her panic more and she was about to scream again when he kissed her, muffling any sound coming from her.
She could feel her power slowly draining as his free hand moved across her stomach to the waist of her sweat pants.
No…she had to stop him…
Where was Inuyasha?
"Your precious Inuyasha isn't coming," Naraku whispered against her lips.
Kagome hadn't realized that she had said Inuyasha's name out loud.
Suddenly there was a knock at her front door.
Inuyasha!
Kagome tried to scream but Naraku clapped his hand over her mouth as he closed his eyes and seemed to concentrate.
What was he doing?
"Kagome?" Inuyasha's voice called from the other side of the door.
Kagome fought with all the strength she had left…if she could just gather up a little bit of her power…she could get his attention…
Naraku opened his eyes again and smirked down at Kagome.
"There's no way he's getting in now priestess," he whispered, kissing her again.
The feel of his cold lips on hers was almost unbearable. She felt as if that cold was the only thing she would ever feel again.
Kagome couldn't understand it…why wasn't Inuyasha coming in?
She opened her mind and something snapped…
Naraku had put up a barrier.
Oh shit.
Kagome began to fight again when she felt Naraku pushing her sweat pants down her legs. He took his time and he snickered when a tear rolled down Kagome's cheek.
There was a yell from outside, "Kagome!" Inuyasha's voice yelled.
Kagome ripped her mouth from Naraku's, "Inuyasha!" she screamed.
Naraku laughed as Kagome screamed, throwing her pants across the room, "Go ahead and scream priestess. There is no way that he will be able to get to you in time."
Kagome began to cry even harder as she pounded on Naraku's chest. It was if he didn't feel her hitting him. He merely grabbed her hands with one of his and placed them above her head while his other hand went to the waist of his own pants.
This wasn't happening…it couldn't be happening…
…Inuyasha….
Naraku forced his knee between Kagome's legs as he forced them apart.
Suddenly Kagome felt a white hot rage rush through her.
Who did he think he was? He was just some sick fuck who thought he could take advantage of her…
Well think again.
Naraku paused as he kissed her neck and looked at her. Kagome had stopped crying and her eyes had glazed over as she started pulsing.
"What the-"
Suddenly a huge burst of light blinded Naraku and flung him across the room, slamming him into the wall. He stood up quickly, his eyes blood red as he wiped at a trickle of blood that had dripped from the corner of his mouth.
"So you have decided to fight back have you?" he hissed as Kagome sat up, her eyes clearing.
She looked at Naraku who looked battered and pissed.
Had she done that?
Oops…
Naraku walked up to her and grasped his hand around Kagome's neck, lifting her off the ground. She clawed at his hand, trying to break free.
She tried to summon her power, but she could barley grip at his fist that was slowly taking the life from her.
Naraku smirked and turned around, throwing Kagome into the wall she had just forced him into a minute ago.
She gasped as she fell to the floor violently, pain racking through her.
As she looked up at Naraku who was advancing on her, the room began to darken around her.
"First I will break you," Naraku smirked, "then I will have my fun…"
He slapped her hard across the face, sending her face first into the cold floor.
Just as Naraku went to send a blow to Kagome's ribs again a sickening crack was heard from outside and he paused, his eyes wide in shock.
"What?" he gasped, "M-my…barrier…I-its gone!"
He turned just in time to see Inuyasha crash through the door.
Kagome looked up at him and tried to smile. In Inuyasha's hand was the sword she had seen him use at practice. She remembered that it had been called…Tetsiga.
When Inuyasha saw Kagome lying on the ground with a bruise on her cheek and in nothing but a bra and panties, his eyes flashed red.
"Naraku…" Inuyasha hissed, his voice almost as icy as Sesshomaru's. "what the fuck do you think you are doing here, with her?"
Naraku smirked, "I would have thought that was obvious."
Inuyasha growled and swung his sword at Naraku. He ducked and punched Inuyasha in the jaw, sending Inuyasha reeling back.
Kagome curled up into a ball on the floor as the two fought. She found on of her grandfather's jackets on the floor that must have been knocked down during the struggle, and she put it on.
Please…just let it end…
Suddenly there was a crash and Kagome's head shot up just in time to see Naraku send Inuyasha flying through the window. He landed out in the front yard while his sword went flying and became lodged in a tree. Kagome watched as the sword glowed and the turned into what appeared to be a rusty thin sword.
Suddenly a cold hand grabbed Kagome by the hair and began to drag her to the front door.
She screamed as Naraku threw her onto the ground just outside.
Inuyasha began to stir as his hands clenched into fists.
"Is she worth it Inuyasha?" Naraku laughed, "Would you risk your life for a mere human? She must be worth it…but don't worry…I'll find out for myself whether or not she truly worth it."
Inuyasha stood up slowly, his hair in his eyes as he cracked his knuckles.
Kagome's head jerked up in Inuyasha's direction.
Something was wrong…
Naraku seemed to realize this as well, for his laughter immediately ceased and he watched Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome whispered.
Suddenly Inuyasha jumped over Kagome and punched Naraku with a speed that Kagome hadn't expected from him.
Naraku was sent flying and Kagome didn't see him get up when the dust settled.
Turning her head back to Inuyasha she started to get up.
"Inu-Inuyasha?" she whispered.
He turned to her and Kagome gasped.
Instead of the friendly smile that he normally greeted her with, she saw large canines that growled at her. His once beautiful amber eyes were now blood red and he had two scratch marks on wither side on his cheeks.
Kagome didn't sense any human in him…
He was a demon.
"Inuyasha…how?" she gasped.
Suddenly Naraku came out of no where and swung at Inuyasha, but he ducked and punched Naraku in the gut.
Kagome watched in horror as Inuyasha repeatedly beat Naraku until he lay motionless on the ground.
She heard Inuyasha growl and when she looked up, the demon was right in front of her, his red eyes looking her up and down.
"Inuyasha?" she put out a hand to touch him.
He clenched his teeth and his clawed hand came out, scratching Kagome deeply across the arm.
Kagome sank to her knees in pain as the hot blood seeped through the wound and began to drip onto the ground.
She screamed when suddenly Inuyasha pushed her onto her back and climbed on top of her, his clawed hand around her throat.
"Inu-Inu-" she couldn't finish.
Why was he doing this? What was happening to him?
Inuyasha growled again as his grip tightened on her throat.
Kagome was terrified…she didn't want to die like this. She didn't want those red eyes to be the last thing she saw…
She wanted to see Inuyasha…her Inuyasha.
One last time…
