Chapter Two

Kagome's POV

It had been two days since I had my accident on my bike. Inu-yasha had let us stop for a day, and we had bandaged up my arms, my legs, my back and my stomach. Luckily, my face was fine since I had covered it with my arms.

We were traveling again –me back on my bike. But, Inu-yasha was walking a little closer to me. Keeping an eye on me I guess. I smiled at that. I liked that he was concerned about me. I thought back to what he had said to me when I had fell. He had been so nice.

I stared at him. I wish he was always that nice. I wish he would hug me again like in the forest.

Suddenly Inu-yasha turned and caught me staring. I blushed.

"Keh… What are you staring at?" He asked, one eye brow raised.

I quickly looked away, still smiling. "Nothing…" I whispered.

He saw that I was smiling, and was about to question me again, but we were interrupted by Sango.

"Pervert!" She yelled. I turned around and saw that Miroku had grabbed her breast, and there was a red slap mark on the side of his face. I giggled a bit. Even though Sango and Miroku had told each other of their feelings, Miroku still groped her, and Sango still slapped him.

------------------------

Sango's POV

We had been traveling all day, and we had finally settled down for camp. Kagome had set up her 'tent' contraption again. She'd been bringing a tent from her time for a year now –and I still found it quite weird. She set up three sleeping bags in there. One for her, one for me, and a small one for Shippo. Shippo had gotten two big to be sharing with Kagome, so she had bought a small sleeping bag for him in her time.

Miroku had a sleeping bag too, but he slept outside still. Inu-yasha just preferred to sleep in a tree.

We then settled down to sleep. Shippo fell asleep almost instantly, and Kagome fell alsleep after about ten minutes.

I couldn't fall asleep. I kept thinking about Kohaku.

Kohaku was still under Naraku's control –and the only way to set him free, would be to kill Naraku. But the thing was, the second Naraku died, Kohaku would probably die too. The only thing that was keeping him alive was a measly jewel shard.

I thought of all the pain he was probably going through. All the memories. It probably tormented him that he had the memory of killing father, and the other slayers. Even if he got a normal life back, he would lead a sad, tormented life. I didn't want Kohaku to go through with that.

A few tears slipped down my face as I made a decision. I was going to have to let Kohaku go. He couldn't go on living after Naraku. As much as this pained me –it would pain him even more if he survived after the final battle.

I put my face into my pillow, and cried myself to sleep.

------------------------

Kagome's POV

The next morning, the sky was gray and stormy –a dramatic change from yesterday. But something told me this was no normal storm… Something had happened.

Inu-yasha seemed to sense it too, but because he was a half demon, he had better senses, especially hearing and smell. He sniffed the air, and as a gust of wind came by that blew into us, almost knocking me over by its force, Inu-yasha's eyes narrowed as he seemed to pick up a scent.

"Naraku…" He whispered.

My eyes widened. "You smelt Naraku? He's finally back from hiding again?" I exclaimed.

Inu-yasha nodded.

"Finally we've caught on to him again…" Miroku whispered. He picked up his staff, and rolled up the sleeping bag I had given him, since I had showed him how to put it away.

Sango didn't say anything, just nodded, picked up hiraikotsu, sword and ran into the trees. A couple minutes later, she returned, but she had changed her clothes into her fighting garb.

Since the tent and our stuff was already all packed, we picked everything up and headed on our way. This time though, since Inu-yasha wanted to fast, I hopped on his back, and he held my bike over one shoulder, and off we went.

We pushed through the wind and rain, my school uniform getting soaked through. My hair blew back away from my face from the wind, but I knew it was soaked. But I didn't care about this stuff right now. All I could think about was our mortal enemy.

Naraku.

We traveled along swiftly, and followed Naraku's scent, and my sense of a close jewel shard, through a forest, along a river and, began down a dark tunnel.

I reached in my back pack, and pulled out my flashlight and turned it on. We followed it for awhile, but then we stopped suddenly as we heard footsteps.

"Is it Naraku-?" Shippo asked, yanking out two daggers, as if ready to fight.

Inu-yasha shook his head.

Suddenly, I felt something swoop me up, and I screamed, dropping my flash light.

"KAGOME!" I heard Inu-yasha yell. He dived, and grabbed my flash light from the ground and pointed it at me and my captor.

The person who had picked me up was none other than Koga.

"Point that away from me mutt face. I can't see anything." Koga growled at Inu-yasha.

"Put Kagome down now." Inu-yasha growled. He kept the light pointed at Koga, and stepped closer and shone it closer to his face.
Koga put me down, and swiped at my flash light with one of his clawed hands.
"Don't break it!" I yelled, and I grabbed it from Inu-yasha's hand.

Inu-yasha and Koga began to insult each other as usual, but then Sango stepped between the two of them before they started to actually fight.

"This is neither the time nor place. If you haven't forgotten Inu-yasha, Naraku is around again." Sango said sternly.

Both the two males faces hardened at the words of Naraku. "I picked up his scent as well. That's why I was coming this way." Koga said.

Suddenly I had an idea. I knew Inu-yasha would hate it, but we needed the most help we could get. Naraku was not an easy opponent. And for all we knew, he could have more reincarnations by now!

I turned to Koga. "Koga, would you like to join us? We're searching for Naraku. We all can work together when we fight him." I said to him, trying to give him my sweetest smile.

He blushed at my smile. "I'd love to come with you Kagome…" He whispered to me lovingly.

"HE IS NOT COMING WITH US! I don't need help from HIM!" Inu-yasha yelled, stepping between us.

I glared at Inu-yasha. "We need the most help we can get!" I yelled at him.

"We're fine with just our group!"

"Naraku is stronger now! PLUS he probably has more reincarnations now! We'd be outnumbered! Koga can help us!"

"NO!"

"Inu-yasha…" I whispered angrily.

His eyes widened, when he realized what I was going to do. "No please Kagome…" He said backing away.

"Sit boy."

Inu-yasha flew into the ground face first. "Koga is coming with us and that's final. No buts! He's coming." I told him sternly.

We began walking again, and Inu-yasha hopped up from the ground, mumbling and grumbling about this.

------------------------

Inu-yasha's POV

As we made our way through to the end of the dark tunnel, where we could see the light from outside shining, Koga pulled me back behind everyone else. None of the others noticed.
I turned to my rival. "What do you want?" I growled quietly at him. If Kagome heard us fighting she'd sit me again. I didn't want that. I didn't want Koga coming with us to fight Naraku either. We don't need his help.

"Mutt-face," Koga began, addressing me as if that was my real name. My eyes narrowed at it. "After this battle, Kagome is going to choose me. You've never showed her any affection, and I have, so she will choose me."

"No she won't-!"

"Inu-yasha, I am no fool. You love her –but you will never have the courage to let my woman know. Give up. I'm stronger, faster, handsomer and I show her love. She will never choose you."

And he walked off away from me, going to catch up with the others. Kagome would never choose him –or would she?

------------------------

Kagome's POV

As we reached the end of the tunnel and made our way out, we began following Naraku's scent through another forest, the wind blowing around us forcefully. We pushed through until we reached a clearing.

Even I could feel it.

The coldness. No wind blew in this clearing –it was like the eye of the storm. Goose bumps formed on my arm and I shivered.

Koga and Inu-yasha's eyes narrowed.

"His scent is the strongest here." Koga whispered with malice.

Inu-yasha nodded. They had finally agreed on something.

We all took our stances. Sango pulled her boomerang off her back and held it in front of her –eyes glancing right to left for a sign of movement. Miroku had his hand ready to pull the prayer beads off his hand, and suck anyone into his wind tunnel. Kirara was in her larger mode; teeth barred, and like Sango, was scanning the scenery. Shippo stood next to me, daggers out, a look of determination on his face. Koga, held no sword, but stood in a fighters stance and I could see the jewel shards in him glinting. And I, had my bow ready with an arrow in it.

Suddenly, an eerily familiar voice spoke, breaking the silence. Naraku.

"I knew you'd come. You're all so foolish."

And then the ground gave way. The whole clearing was falling away to a large whole in the ground. We were all falling down, down, down… I didn't even realized I was screaming.

"Kagome!" I heard Inu-yasha call in panic as we fell.

I saw Kirara flying around. She caught Sango, and Miroku, Kog and Inu-yasha and she was flying towards me, not much room left on her back, but still coming. But then I felt pain searing through my back as I slammed into the side of the hole, smacking my body against hard cold rock. I fell forward and I instantly reached my arms out to brace my fall as I fell face first towards more rocks. My bow had slipped from my grasp, and who knows where it was, and at that moment, all I could think about was my death.

Suddenly, two arms grabbed me. Two very unfamiliar arms. They were cold –deathly cold. I was pulled onto something, and a hand reached up and grabbed my throat, nails breaking the flesh lightly. The other hand reached in front to my stomach and dug its fingers into my gut and twisted.

I cried out in pain it hurt so bad. Who was this? Obviously not one of my friends. None of them would ever do this to me. I looked down and saw that we were flying lower to the bottom of the hole. I looked at what I was sitting on and was shocked to see it was a feather.

There was only one person I had ever seen flying on a feather. Kagura. I tried to call out to Inu-yasha, to say that Kagura had me and I needed his help but the hand on my throat squeezed harder and all I could let out was a squack of pain. I could barely breathe.

We flew down and until we were close to the ground, but then we shooted forward and down a dark tunnel. We traveled swiftly for about ten minutes until I saw light up ahead. stopped at the bottom of the hole. It was dark, but I could see there was a large temple before me. A temple underground? Standing in front of the temple was the man himself.

Naraku.

Behind him stood Kanna, Kohaku, and two unfamiar faces. One of the people was tall with long black hair, spiking down along his back. His face had blue marks along the cheeks, and his eyes were just slits –but I could still see his eyes clearly. A terrifyingly clear blue. Another thing that scared me was that he… didn't seem to have a mouth.

The other was a female, in a tea ceremonial kimono. Her hair was pulled up into a geisha hair style, and her makeup was done the way a geisha's was done. Her eyes were black, like Kanna's but not as big. She looked calm, with her painted lips in a tiny smile.

Fear grew in me even more as I looked at these two. Naraku had two more reincarnations then. This was terrible!

Suddenly, Kagura yanked me up, and shoved me forward onto my knees, while letting me go. I tried to scamper away the second she let go, but I felt something smooth and silky wrap around my ankles and up my legs.

I fell over, since these binds had tripped me. I looked down at my body and stared at Kimono wraps wrapping around my body, binding my arms to my side, and up around my neck, over my chin. Just before it covered my mouth I screamed at the top of my lungs.

"INU-YASHA!"

But then they wrapped over my mouth, and stopped just below my nose. At least I could still breathe. Suddenly I began to be dragged along the ground and I looked up to see that the Kimono wraps came from the new woman to Naraku's crew. Her black eyes looked down on me and they just looked like black holes, ready to suck me in.

I struggled and squirmed, but the binds held me tight. What were they going to do with me? I was so cold, and in pain, and had no weapons to defend me while I was in front of my worst enemies. What was I going to do? I tried to call out to Inu-yasha, or Koga, or Miroku or Sango, but only a muffled noise came out. I needed HELP!
