I don't own InuYasha at all. I hope that more people review cause I would love to know what you all think of my story here. I know that it isn't the best, but I would still like to hear your comments, good or bad. Enjoy.

Nadia awoke with a pounding headache. All she could register was that the place she was at was cold and she was on the hard ground. Everything else was blocked out by the pain.

"I feel like I was hit by an eighteen wheeler," she said to herself as she sat up. Her right hand came to her head, where she felt the prayer beads against her forehead.

"Damn it," she said pulling her hand down and slowly opening her eyes.

The room was barely lit, but Nadia could clearly make out a figure across the room. A rush of familiar feelings hit her as she looked at this figure, fear and anger.

Sitting on the opposite side of the room was Naraku, and he was watching her with intense eyes.

"Welcome," he said, "my new puppet."

"I am no one's puppet and I sure as hell ain't going to work for a bastard like you," Nadia said forcefully.

Naraku laughed quietly. "If you want the curse removed from you then you will do exactly as I tell you."

Nadia glared at the evil half-demon. "I would rather die."

Naraku's smile faded. "That can be arranged quite easily," he said with venom on every word.

Nadia didn't move an inch. He scared her, but she wasn't about to let him walk all over her cause she was afraid.

"Then kill me already," she said angrily. Suddenly Naraku was at her side, his hand on her throat, nearly choking off her air supply.

"I have plans for you that you will listen to whether you want to or not."

Miroku ran through the forest after InuYasha. Kirara was in the air with Kagome, Shippo, and Sango on her back. Miroku had only one thing on his mind, finding Nadia.

"I smell Naraku up ahead," InuYasha yelled. A sudden burst of adrenaline caused Miroku to run faster to the upcoming clearing. His heart was pounding hard in his chest and there was nothing else he could think of except getting Nadia back.

It was then that it hit him, causing him to stumble a little before regaining his footing. He was in love with the strange girl that Naraku brought out of the well. He had done exactly what Naraku wanted him to do and fell for her. Being separated from her for the first time since they had met had shown him exactly that.

After getting the prayer beads for her he had felt like some thing was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it. Now he knew that it was not waking up next to her each morning that was bothering him.

He needed her back, and desperately.

"We can see the clearing InuYasha," Sango yelled. Sango's voice brought back another bit of Naraku's words. It was true; he didn't truly love Sango like he thought. Naraku was right and used this to trick him. Miroku didn't want to hurt Sango's feelings because she was still his friend, but he promised that he would love her and marry her when Naraku was dead.

Miroku was in emotional pain. He didn't know what to do. His heart told him that Nadia was the woman for him, but his sense of duty told him that he had to marry Sango and honor his promise. In the end, duty won out.

It wasn't often that Miroku listened to his sense of duty, but this was the one exception. After they got Nadia back, he would ignore his feelings and continue with this mission. After Naraku was defeated and the Wind Tunnel gone from both of their lives, he would do what he promised and send Nadia back to her world.

Miroku sighed sadly as they entered the clearing. Standing there was Kagura, as was to be expected, but no Nadia.

"What the fuck did you do with Nadia you bitch?" InuYasha yelled drawing out his sword.

"The human is with my master," she said calmly. Miroku was doing everything in his power not to lash out at the incarnation. She was right there and he was ready to kill her, but the sounds of those damn poisonous insects around them kept him from using the Wind Tunnel.

"Are you going to fight me InuYasha?" Kagura asked with a smirk. Despite wanting to be free of Naraku, she loved to fight with InuYasha.

"Damn right bitch," InuYasha said before charging at her with his sword in the air.

Nadia couldn't move. The jewel shard implanted in her neck kept her from moving as Naraku spoke.

"I will put you under my control. By now that monk has realized his feelings for you and will want to act on them. The moment he tells you that he loves you, the jewel shard will activate and you will kill him."

Nadia's eyes widened as tears streamed down her face. She didn't want to kill her new friends, especially the perverted monk who she had grown so close to.

"Then I have nothing to fear," she said calmly, despite the tears on her face, "because I know that Miroku is in love with Sango and will never betray her."

Naraku smiled wickedly down on the young girl.

"We shall see," he said before releasing her from the hold of the jewel shard that had disappeared within her neck, and calling Kagura to come and fetch the young girl.
