Hey all, thanks for the reviews. Just to let you know, I don't own Inuyasha, but I have kidnapped some of the characters and I promise to return them safely.

Chapter 8

In the Northern land, loud yelling came from a large castle. Naraku grunted as Kagura went again in attempt to dislodge the arrow from his chest. "Damn Kagura, you should have the strength to pull this damn thing out!" Kagura glared at him for a second, but then wrapped her hands around the arrow and pulled as hard as she could. The arrow slowly slid, causing Kagura to go back a few steps.

Naraku placed his hand on his chest and could feel it regenerate. "That damn bitch will pay." "What about the Shikon Jewel?" Naraku looked at Kagura and said, "What about it?" "Did you find it?" He evilly smiled and said, "Yes and it is around Kagome's neck." Naraku grinned as he knew just what to do with her.

Back at the Silver Inu tribe, Kagome was sitting on her bed thinking about what had happened that evening with Sesshoumaru. She sighed and then smiled. She laid down on her comfy bed and said out loud, "I think I'm in love." She took one of the pillows and held it close. She laid there for awhile until sleep took a hold of her.

Naraku appeared on Kagome's balcony and stepped into her bedroom. He looked over her sleeping form and placed a sleeping spell on her. He then saw the Shikon Jewel lying on the side table. He picked it up and held it between his fingers. He then looked at the sleeping Kagome and evilly smiled. He placed the jewel in his pocket and then scooped up Kagome in his arms. Naraku went to the balcony and was about to leave when the door flew opened and Sesshoumaru stood in the doorway. Naraku grinned and said, "You're too late, lover boy. Farewell." Sesshoumaru ran to the balcony as Naraku disappeared into the night with Kagome. Sesshoumaru growled loudly as he saw Naraku's purple miasma cloud fly off into the distance. Sesshoumaru jumped over the rail and followed Naraku into the forest.

Naraku land deep in the forest and placed the sleeping Kagome on the ground. He smiled evilly as placed his hand over her. He watched as Kagome's arms and legs became long, slender dog legs and her hands and feet became paws. Her face became a long, slender snout and her body became smaller and brown fur grew all over her body. When the spell was complete, Naraku had changed Kagome into a dog that looked like a wolf (like Balto) with brown colored fur on her back and golden fur on her underside. On her forehead, her royal mark was outlined with golden fur. Naraku glared at her and said, "This will teach you not to mess with me, bitch." Naraku then disappeared out of the forest back to his castle.

Sesshoumaru followed Naraku's scent deep into the forest. 'I will kill you Naraku if you have harmed a single hair on her head.' He came to a clearing where Naraku's scent was the strongest. He looked around the clearing, but Naraku wasn't there. He noticed Kagome's scent lingered around slightly across the clearing, but when he looked across the clearing, all he saw was a wolf-like dog. He then noticed that it began to stir and then sit up.

Kagome eyes fluttered opened and slowly sat up and felt extremely different. She looked around her surroundings and then saw behind her was Sesshoumaru, who was across the clearing. She stood up and headed toward him. "'Sesshoumaru!'"

Sesshoumaru saw the dog stand up and begin to come towards him. It whined at him as if it was talking to him. It was still coming towards him, so he created his whip and snapped it at the dog.

Kagome saw the energy whip form and when he snapped it at her, she quickly jumped out of the way. "'Sesshoumaru stop, it's me!'" He whipped his whip at her again and she dodged it by jumping into the forest and hiding from his sight. Kagome hid in a bush and watched as Sesshoumaru stood there for a minute to make sure she wouldn't pull a surprise attack and then he left the clearing. She wondered why he didn't stop attacking after she said so. Kagome waited a few seconds after he had left the clearing and then followed, but made sure he didn't see her.

Sesshoumaru continued his search for Naraku and Kagome, but he kept glancing over his shoulder, for he knew someone was following him. He one time caught a glimpse of something golden jump into the bushes. Sesshoumaru had had enough of this, so he jumped over to the other side of the bushes and saw in front of him the same wolf-like dog he fought off in the clearing.

When Kagome saw Sesshoumaru jump over the bushes, she stopped and then took a few steps back. She saw that he was glaring at her and then he created his energy whip. Kagome took another step back and began to whimper.

Sesshoumaru formed his energy whip and then looked over the dog that whimpered in front of him. The dog took another step back into the sun. The sunlight hit the top of it head and reflected a golden light that was so bright, Sesshoumaru had to shield his eyes until it stepped out of the sun. Once the light died down, Sesshoumaru looked back at the dog and saw something he didn't see before on its forehead. On its forehead was the outline of a sun in golden fur. Sesshoumaru thought back to the first time he saw the wolf.

Flashback

Kagome's scent lingered around slightly across the clearing, but when he looked across the clearing, all he saw was a wolf-like dog. He then noticed that it began to stir and then sit up.

End of Flashback

Sesshoumaru suddenly made the connection and then dissipated his whip.

Kagome saw in his face that he now understood it was her. She slowly came closer to him and saw him kneel down to her level. She stared into his deep golden eyes and saw a mix of emotion: worry, anger, and apology. Kagome stopped in front of him and sat down. "Kagome?" She nodded and then saw a lot of anger wash over him. "Who did this to you?" Kagome tried to think of how to answer, but then thought of using her nail to spell out the name. Though see didn't see the person's face, she knew his scent. With her nail, she spelled out the name, Naraku. Sesshoumaru growled and said, "I'll kill that bastard. Let's go." He stood up and waited for a second to get Naraku's scent, and then headed off. Kagome stood and followed Sesshoumaru at his side.

Well, this chapter is done. Next one up soon. Review.
