The Rescue
Inuyasha immediately charged at his brother. Kikyo leapt in front of Sesshomaru. Inuyasha froze in mid attack. Kikyo took the lull to kick Inuyasha hard in the shomach. Miroku came in to fight Sesshomaru while Inuyasha took Kikyo. "Should we help, Jean?" asked Scott. "We'll wait and see the odds. If it starts to look bad we'll jump in."
"(Where have you got Kagome?)" Inuyasha asked furiously. "(She's safe, for now.)" Kikyo said with an evil grin. Inuyasha didn't like the way she said that. He had to get to Kagome before it was too late. Miroku seemed to have control over Sesshomaru for he was on the ground unconscious. Kikyo was still blocking the way to get to Kagome. Miroku walked over to help Inuyasha. Miroku lunged at Kikyo to distract her for Inuyasha. After managing to slip past the fight Inuyasha edged over to the large castle ten feet from him. He somehow managed to get inside undetected, which got the half-demon worried. Why was Naraku's castle so quiet and unprotected?
Inuyasha pressed on further into the castle. A scream echoed through the building. Kagome! , Inuyasha thought in panic. He took off running in the direction the scream came from. He came to a halt to a door that had a demon ward on it. Naraku would be the only person to know how to get it off, but that didn't stop the half-demon from trying to get to Kagome. "(Kagome?)" Inuyasha asked as he pressed his dog-ears to the door. "(Inuyasha, help! I can't open the door.)" Kagome replied shakily. Inuyasha started randomly punching the door as hard as he could. Miroku soon knocked Kikyo out and was able to join the half-demon to help. "( Inuyasha, I think I know how to get this off.)" Miroku managed to get the seal off then the two rushed into the room. Kagome was sitting on the floor, hands tied tightly behind her. Inuyasha got behind her and using one of his claws cut the rope off. Once loose, Kagome shook her hands vigorously to get feeling back in them. "(Let's get out of here.)" Kagome stood up and headed to the door.
The shock of the trio they managed to get back out of the castle with no problems. Inuyasha certainly wasn't about to jinx himself by bringing up this fact to the other two. When they reached the exit of the mansion they knew why there hadn't been any trouble. Naraku, Kanna, Kikyo, Sesshomaru, and Kagura were all in a heap, apparently knocked out and tied together with rope. "(Guys let's get out of here before they wake up.)" Sango called from her place in the air on Kirara's back. The group headed back to the campsite for some well deserved rest.
