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 13
Naraku stood in the library staring out his large window and watched the rain come down and the lighting dance in the sky. He smiled evilly and thought, 'Today's the day I make Kagome my mate.' He then shouted, "Kagura!" Kagura walked into the library and said, "You called?" "Don't give me that smart-aleck remark. Go wake Kagome and take her to the spa. I want my new mate to be at her best when we mate tonight." Kagura shutter at the thought of Naraku mating with anyone, but then said, "Yes, sir." Kagura then left the room and headed for Kagome's room.
Kagome awoke for the third time that night from the same nightmare. It was of Sesshoumaru dying by the hands of Naraku because she refused to be his mate. She wiped the sweat off her face and pushed the blanket off. She stood and went to the balcony, taking Sesshoumaru's top with her. She held it close as the rain poured over her, getting her soaking wet. The wind blew her wet hair around and some got plastered to her face. She then heard from behind her, "Are you trying to catch a cold?" Kagome didn't turn around, but said, "I thought if I stand here long enough, the rain would wash me away and I wouldn't have to choose." "Well, I'm sorry to say, it doesn't work like that. Now come, Naraku has ordered me to take you to the hot springs." Kagome slowly turned around and then followed Kagura to the hot springs with her head down. Kagura noticed as they were walking that Kagome never let go of Sesshoumaru's top. Kagura led Kagome down the hall and then pushed open a door that led into the hot springs. Kagome entered and then shut the door behind her. Kagura watched how sad Kagome was about this whole thing and decided to talk to the demon lord.
Kagome looked over the large hot spring and then sighed. She began to peel the wet material off herself and then hung it over a heated rock, where you would put towels to warm them. She stepped into the warm water then rested her head on the side, using Sesshoumaru's top as a pillow. She had no idea how to get out of this since she knew she could never bring herself to commit suicide, plus she knew that if she did that, Naraku would kill Sesshoumaru. Tear rolled down her cheek and she turned from the side and dove under the water.
Sesshoumaru kept his head down not caring what happened to him. He felt like he had lost everything special to him, so he saw no point to even try to break free. He then heard, "So you are just going to let Naraku win?" Sesshoumaru didn't even acknowledge the voice and said, "What's the point, Kagura? He's already won." Kagura looked at him and said, "That can't be you talking. The powerful Lord Sesshoumaru giving up? Snap yourself out of your self pity and break free. You know you have the strength to do it, so do it already." "You don't understand; I'm not use to being in such a weak state. It would take to long to break these iron chains." "Who said anything about breaking chains?" Sesshoumaru looked up at her and she said, "Just before sunset, Naraku will bring you into the library and await Kagome's response. You should be able to throw off the guards who will be holding you; and when Kagome see that you are out of danger, she will probably attack." "Why are you helping me?" Kagura turned to the stairs and said, "I also want to be free, like the wind." She then left the dungeon. Sesshoumaru thought over the plan Kagura talked about and actually felt a bit of hope come over him.
Kagome surfaced and swam back over to the side. She rested her head on Sesshoumaru's top and tried to think some more of what she could do. She then raised her head when she thought of something. She knew she couldn't get out of mating with Naraku, but she could prevent herself from baring him heirs. She could place an unbreakable barrier to everyone else except one around her jewels and not have to worry about getting pregnant. It was the only good idea that she could come up with so she finished her bath and then pulled herself out of the water. She took one of the warm towels and wrapped it around her. She then looked at the rocks around the hot spring and saw a large one in the middle of the bunch of rocks. She began climbing on the rocks up to the large rock and then when she got to the top of it, she sat crossed legged and shut her eyes. She began concentrating her powers on her lower abdomen and could feel a tingling sensation within her.
The tingling sensation subsided and Kagome was sure that her barrier was strong. She climbed down from the rock and went over to the warming rock and picked up her now dry dress. She was about to put it on when she heard a knock on the door. "Just a minute." She slipped her dress and then quickly dried her hair. She went to the door and opened it to reveal Kagura. "Naraku says it time." Kagome lowered her head and then followed.
Sorry this took so long to get out, but I finally got it out. Next chapter up as soon as I write it.
