Chapter 18

Inuyasha sat on his legs and just sat there growling. His bangs covered his eyes as he faced downward. He grabbed onto his pants over by his knees and had a tight grasp. His fingers where all twirled in the cloth of his pants. He was shaking, and for the very first time he didn't go off on the problem. He just sat there helpless, letting himself sink in the angry that was feeding off of him. Shippou was very confused since he expected Inuyasha to do something reckless like usually but he didn't and that what freaked him out. Inuyasha was full of surprises. The cold breeze outside entered the room through the open window. It bounced off the walls and then settle in the room. Inuyasha's hair blew out of his hair and Shippou looked directly in the hanyou's eyes. Tears had been fallen and now they where gone for Inuyasha was transforming. From the last time he transformed, he is able to call out his demon nature from his anger. His eyes went blank but then they went back to normal. Three purple stripes appeared on his cheeks. Inuyasha was now able to control his demon side. The full demon Inuyasha stood up and glared at the kitsune.

Shippou was shaking but he stopped when Inuyasha shook his head that meant he wasn't going to be reckless. The kitsune jumped up on Inuyasha's shoulder and then they where gone. Through the window they went and Mrs. Higurashi just opened the door to see the room empty. Kagome was once again missing from her bed and Inuyasha was gone as well. The window was wide open and the wind was still blowing in the room that was making the curtains were facing her. Fear was building up inside her but something was telling her not to worry. That everything was going to be alright. Someone was going to bring back Kagome. But who? Mrs. Higurashi asked herself. Was Inuyasha going to bring back her first born unharmed? Or was she going to go through hell under his protection? What was she thinking? Kagome wasn't going to be harmed...or will she? Anyways...Mrs. Higurashi left the room and to take care of other things to get this matter off her mind.

With Inuyasha and Shippou:

"Inuyasha where are we going?" Shippou asked.

"We are going to get Kagome back from Feudal Japan" Inuyasha answered as he leapt from a building to the next.

"But we can't get through the well though. It's impossible" Shippou reminded the demon.

"I know but I have a feeling we are going to get through" the full fledged demon Inuyasha said and then went quiet. "I just hope I'm right. Kagome hang on" Inuyasha thought and on the rest of the way there, no one spoke.

Inuyasha and Shippou arrived at the well shrine. Once they landed on the ground right in front of the well's shrine, Inuyasha kicked it open. Shippou almost fell off from the sudden movement. Inuyasha jumped down to the well and directed went inside of it. The glowed up and they were actually passing through the well. Much to Shippou's surprise he was more determined to go instead being left behind. They finally reached the Feudal Era in time and there was someone waiting for them. The most hated demon in the region, except it was a demon puppet. Manipulated, made of a oval shape with a head, and legs that constructed to the real demon's form with a strand of his own hair. Shippou began to quiver in fear but then build up the courage to carry on. Inuyasha slowly got out of the well to the meet the ground. Naraku's demon puppet just stood there, no words, no movement, no expression since he had no face, and everything was just quiet. Shippou swallowed hard and right away new Inuyasha was all ready to fight.

The wind blew hard and the grass below them and it was blowing towards the full fledged demon Inuyasha and the kitsune. Inuyasha went into his fighting pose. Shippou jumped off and waited for the signal from Inuyasha. All of a sudden, laughter was coming from the demon puppet. Inuyasha made a face that could tell that he was despising the laughter. The wind stopped blowing and the trees were still as can be and so was everything else. The sky went cloudy and then a strong wind took place around them. The clouds where dark and the sun was hidden behind them. The demon puppet released the branches from under the baboon skin and then the battle was ready. Inuyasha charged the demon puppet without second thoughts.

"You Bastard! You aren't going to get away this time!" Inuyasha shouted as he got ready to claw the puppet apart.

Back with Kidnapping Kagome:

Kagome was knocked out from all the screaming and plus Kajinoubo gave her some knock out gas. Well not the stuff us people use but some kind of scent that he carried or Naraku gave to him. Either way she was knocked out. The dog demon carried Kagome bridle style and her beauty kept getting his attention. He was driven to stop for a while before handing her to Naraku and it would at least give Naraku some more time to kidnap Kikyo. What really puzzled him was why Naraku had such a grudge on them. What did they do to him that gives him the reason to get revenge? And what is the deal with him despising Kikyo? Was she his lover and she betrayed him? No it didn't fit. Naraku hates humans and he would never love anyone but him being strong. Kagome finally awoken and found herself being held by her kidnapper.

"You're finally awake. I was waiting until I could talk to you alone" Kajinoubo said.

"Let me go you creep" Kagome tried to get free but the hold on her was too strong. "What?" Kagome was puzzled.

"I wanted to talk to you because you are so beautiful" Kajinoubo commented.

"You really think I'm beautiful? Wait what am I saying? I shouldn't be taking comments from a guy who kidnapped me!" Kagome protested.

"Jeez it was only a comment. You don't have to agree with me but I really didn't want to kidnap you. If I didn't, my boss would have killed me" Kajinoubo explained.

"What kind of demon are you anyway and who is this boss you mentioned?" Kagome asked.

"You have a lot of questions to ask for only one person but I don't think it would hurt to answer some. I'm a dog demon" Kajinoubo answered the first question.

"A dog demon! You are just like Inuyasha...he is also a dog demon" Kagome smiled.

"And the guy I have no choice but listen to is Naraku. He's been trying to kill you with the sickness and the fall" BINGO!

"NARAKU!" Kagome gasped.

She couldn't believe it. Naraku after her? Well it must have to do with Inuyasha almost killing him. Was her kidnapping a whole trap.

"You mean Naraku is responsible for everything that happened to me? Wait how come I feel fine and not weak?" Kagome stood up after Kajinoubo let her free for now.

"I gave you an antidote so that you wouldn't die from anything after I kidnapped you" Kajinoubo confessed.

"How can such a kind hearted demon like yourself work for the most hated, cruel, and evil Naraku?" Kagome asked as she knelt down by the dog demon, sitting on a log.

There was no answer...

With Kikyo:

"Lady Kikyo what is the matter?" one of the village children asked.

"There is a demonic aura nearby" Kikyo said and then headed into the forest, leaving the children to go back to their homes.

Kikyo entered the forest with her bow and arrows by her side. She carried her long bow and had her arrows being carried in a holder on her back.(I don't know what its called so don't mind that) The forest was quiet and still. Kikyo walked slowly, aware that someone was watching her, and she was ready for anything. She already knew who it was and she knew that he was up to no good this time. In an instant Naraku appeared before Kikyo. He had finally got done constructing his new body that he has been working on since his close demise. Kikyo gave him a smirk and was still on guard. Naraku gave a slight smile to the dead priestess and then began to laugh to himself. Kikyo looked at Naraku with an expression that meant she knew he was up to no good and she was right.

"What do you want Naraku?" Kikyo asked as she slowly lowered her guard.

"I simply came here to get you" Naraku said.

"What do you mean to get me" Kikyo eyed Naraku.

"Let me demonstrate" Naraku said and he moved in at Kikyo.

Kikyo gasped and didn't have the time to get ready to put an arrow on her bow. Naraku jumped in front of Kikyo and released his new improved miasma. Kikyo was able to get out of the way but she tripped because she went blind for only a second.

"Damn" Kikyo let a small cry.

"Just make it easy for yourself Kikyo. I need you alive" Naraku said.

"What do you mean? What are you planning you sick bastard?" Kikyo asked as she tried to find the demon in the miasma.

"Feisty aren't we wench" Naraku was out of sight but she could still hear his dark cold voice.

"Are you planning against Inuyasha? Is that what this is all about?" Kikyo asked again.

"What's with the million questions? You're just like you reincarnation. Oh wait she is suppose to be like you. You will be joining her as soon as you come with me" Naraku chuckled.

"Kagome! What the hell are you up too?" Kikyo just kept on asking.

All of a sudden Naraku came out of the miasma and zoomed in at Kikyo. Kikyo had already placed an arrow on her bow and she shot Naraku. The arrow tore through the bamboo skin and the real Naraku was in the air. Kikyo smiled but soon the smile was cut short once she found herself being trapped in the miasma. To her surprise, she was suffering from the miasma. It was actually affecting her. In an instant her vision became blurry and she fell to the ground. The miasma disappeared and Naraku slowly walked over to Kikyo's paralyzed clay body. The toxic poison in the miasma was suppose to do this kind of thing to anything that has a soul, body, and mind. He gave out small victory laugh and then he claimed his prize. Naraku then telepathic Kajinoubo to tell him to bring Kagome to him now.

Kajinoubo made a displeased look and then grabbed Kagome's arm.

"Kajinoubo what are you doing? Kajinoubo!" Kagome had a frighten look in her eye.

"Naraku is waiting for you" Kajinoubo said in disappointment.

"Please don't do this Kajinoubo" Kagome begged.

"Call me Kajin for short" Kajin said and then he took off with Kagome in his arms.

"Okay but please don't do this! Please turn around and just walk away from him. He is nothing but trouble. In either way you are still going to die. You are nothing to him so why join him in his plans?" Kagome wondered.

"Sorry there is no turning back" With that they arrived at Naraku's new lair.

"We are here already?" Kagome asked. "Wait is that Kikyo? She's tied up to a post outside the castle" Kagome gasped as she thought to herself.

"I'm truly sorry about this Kagome but I just hope you are the one who is going to live" Kajin said as they landed inside the barrier onto the grounds of evil.

"What! Someone is going to die in the end? No matter what!" Kagome began to panic.

"Naraku I have the wench" Kajin shouted as he stared into the darkness of the castle door way.

Naraku appeared and then began to laugh. Everything was going accordingly as he planned. Kagome's eyes were wide open. Her face expressed fear and Naraku was enjoying everything second of it. Kajin didn't want to do this to Kagome which he secretly loved. Even though he only met her for only a short time, he had watched her kindness and when they talked, he felt cared for. He hadn't had that feeling since he was a little kid. Fortunately his parents left him because Kajin was too good hearted. They left him for his sister, who was cold hearted and ruthless. There was another reason why he was doing this. He wanted to make his parents love him and be proud of him. He didn't want to be a shame of his family any longer because he was lonely in the world.

"Tie her to the post next to Kikyo. You have done well" Naraku spoke as he walked over to them.

Kagome tried to get away but a small demon that Naraku released, stung her. It was a saimyosho or was it? Instantly her body went numb and she couldn't move at all. She was paralyzed and with that Kajin tied her up onto the wooden post. Kagome could still speak but barely. Naraku let out another laugh for his victory.

"This is too easy" Naraku put a hand on Kagome's cheek.

"Don't you touch me you monster" Kagome mumbled.

"I don't think so. Inuyasha will soon be here and when he comes, he is going to have the biggest surprise and it will be unforgettable. I can promise you that" Naraku said and gave Kagome a kiss on the lips.
