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 12
Down in the dungeon, Sesshoumaru was locked back in his cell. His head was down and his eyes were closed. He was in thought about how he was going to get out of here. He then heard, "Oh, don't look so down, Sesshoumaru. I promise that Kagome and I will take good care of your land." Sesshoumaru didn't acknowledge him and said, "Dream on, Naraku. Kagome would never go with you." Just then, Sesshoumaru's chin was lifted up by Naraku and he was forced to look at Naraku's face. "I don't think you get it. Kagome will do anything I tell her to do because she doesn't want to see you hurt. It's so sweet, it kills me."
Sesshoumaru glared at him and then moved his chin in Naraku's grip and then bit his hand, sinking in his fangs. Naraku yelled in pain and yanked his hand back from Sesshoumaru. He looked at his hand and saw two puncture wounds in the palm of his hand. Naraku looked back at Sesshoumaru and saw him spit out blood from his mouth. Naraku glared at him and then kneed Sesshoumaru in the stomach. Sesshoumaru winced in pain and bent as far over as he could. He panted heavily and then looked back at Naraku. Naraku turned and left the dungeon. Once Naraku had left, Sesshoumaru looked back at the ground. He knew that because of Kagome's kind heart and soft nature, she would do what Naraku told her to so as to save his life. That thought almost made him smile, knowing that she cared so much for him that she would go along with the enemy so as to protect him.
Kagome laid asleep on her bed with the sun on her face. Her eyes fluttered open and looked around the room. She sat up and wrapped Sesshoumaru's kimono top protectively around herself. She stood up and walked onto the balcony and stared out at the horizon. A gentle breeze blew her hair behind her. A tear rolled down her cheek as she thought of Sesshoumaru. She really wanted to go to him, but she knew that she would be punished for it and she didn't want to see him hurt again.
As she stood there, she felt someone behind her. She glanced over her shoulder to see Naraku behind her. He glared at the fact that she was wearing Sesshoumaru's top, but ignored it. "Why do you keep us here as prisoners? You have what you wanted for me, so I am not needed anymore." He chuckled and said, "Not true. Yes, I have the Shikon Jewel, but only the Guardian can grant my wish. Plus…," he came right up to her and ran his finger up her shoulder, "I want a beautiful and powerful mate at my side when I take over." Kagome shuddered when he touched her and then when she heard what he said, she gasped and moved away from him. "Never! I'll never be your mate!" Naraku backed her up against the wall and put his arms on either side of her and said, "Then you can say goodbye to Sesshoumaru. You have two choices, Missy: Be my mate or Sesshoumaru dies." Kagome dropped her head and softly said, "No." Naraku walked toward the balcony door and said, "Choose wisely. You have until sunset tomorrow." Kagome fell to her knees and began to cry. Naraku left the balcony with an evil smile on his face.
Kagome cried for awhile on the balcony, but then got up and went to her door and opened it. She peered around the door found the hallway empty. She left her room and ran down the hallway to the dungeon. She reached it and quietly opened the door. She went in and then closed it quietly behind her. She walked quickly down the stairs and headed to Sesshoumaru's cell.
Sesshoumaru heard the door of the dungeon open and then close. He then heard footsteps come down the stairs. He looked up with his eyes and saw Kagome come to the cell. She gripped the iron bared door and it glowed purple. The lock clicked and she opened it and then ran to him. She knelt next to him and cried out, "Sesshoumaru, what am I to do? Naraku is forcing me to mate with him. If I don't, he will kill you, and I could never forgive myself if that happened." Sesshoumaru kept his head down for he didn't know what to say. Kagome moved to right in front of Sesshoumaru and placed her hand on his cheek. She then felt him slightly lean into her hand. She gently lifted his head so that he looked into her eyes and said, "I'm so sorry for getting you involved in this. It's all my fault." She let go of his face and then dropped her head.
Sesshoumaru knew it wasn't and that she shouldn't blame herself. He leaned his head towards her and said, "Kagome, look at me." Kagome turned her head to him stared into his golden eyes. "You can't blame yourself for this. You didn't have any control over it." Kagome turned her eyes from him and said, "Then why do I feel like it is? If I had just stayed with my adoptive mother…" "…I would have never met an incredible being like you. Kagome, you are an amazing person and don't let anyone tell you other wise." Kagome looked at Sesshoumaru and gave him a small smile. She then dropped her head and said, "Naraku has given me until sunset tomorrow to decide whether to be his mate." Tears formed in her eyes and she placed head on his chest. He nuzzled her head and then heard, "I don't know what to do." Sesshoumaru nuzzled her head again and she looked up at him. "We'll figure something out." Kagome sighed and held onto Sesshoumaru. Unaware to both of them, the longer Kagome was next to him, the more the spell was purified.
She stayed there for a few minutes, but then she let go of him and she felt her tears fall from her eyes. She backed away from and stood up and said with tears in her voice, "I'm sorry, but I have to go with Naraku. I can see bare to see you hurt." Sesshoumaru watched her walk backwards and knew she really didn't want to. Kagome backed out of the cell and said, "I'm so sorry." Kagome then turned and ran out of the dungeon crying. After Kagome left, Sesshoumaru dropped his head. For the first time in his entire life, he didn't know what to do and he actually wanted to give up hope. Even though his strength was about the strength of a hanyou and he could break the chain if he tried, he didn't even bother to try.
Kagome ran up the stairs and then down the hallway. Tears blurred her vision that she didn't notice Naraku and one of his guards, who were at the end of a different hallway that came to the hallway she ran down. Naraku and the guard watched her run by and then the guard said, "Do you want me to go after her sir and bring her to you for disobeying you again?" "No, let her be. She'll be crying enough for me tomorrow." Naraku turned and headed back down the hallway. Kagome continued down the hallway and then into her bedroom. She flung herself onto her bed and cried. She didn't come out of her room for the rest of the day.
Night came and Kagome was sitting on the railing with her head down. The wind blew her hair behind her as she sat in her depression. She looked up into the night sky and saw a crescent moon up in the sky. She then saw an image of Sesshoumaru's face and she became sad again and a tear rolled down her cheek. The wind blew a bit colder, so she wrapped Sesshoumaru's top around her more. She slow got up and then went inside. She laid down on the bed and then slowly slipped of to sleep.
Well, this chapter is done. Next one up soon. Review.
