Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha and I see you so don't try to walk away!

InuYasha: Damn it! Don't you have anyone else to annoy?

Shel: Nope. Not at the moment.

InuYasha: No of course you don't!

Shel: Right I don't…so anyway bye bye and enjoy this chapter. And this time review people!

She crept up to the well making sure not to make a sound and glanced behind her; he was still there with that mocking smirk and she nodded towards him and imagined him bursting into flames but turned back to the well and narrowed her eyes at the emptiness. "Watch out Kagome. As soon as you and him get back, I'm gonna kill you."

Something inside her told her that this wasn't right. Why was she so…so…evil? She wanted to hurt…no…she didn't have to. Naraku was forcing her to. Almost a week ago, she had snuggled up to Kagome and slept and waking p to a relieved miko that she was alive.

And then Kagura came…and everything bad happened.

She whipped around and at the top of her lungs screamed at him. "You can't do this to me! Let me go!"

Naraku was taken back at the small girl's strength in voice. "Calm down or I will insert another shard into you.

Yumi scratched her neck wildly. "Another one? What do you mean?" Naraku smirked. She doesn't know, the fool.

His attention was caught by the well as it glowed a soft blue and then the light disappeared. Yumi took a couple steps back afraid it was going to attack her or something.

A hand appeared and an exasperated Kagome appeared. "Ow…by back."

InuYasha jumped out next pulling her out. "You complain too much Kago—." He stopped when he spotted a teary Yumi standing next to Naraku.

Naraku smirked. "Me InuYasha…and you wench." He said narrowing his cold red eyes at Kagome. InuYasha stepped in front of her protectively, getting ready to draw out Tetsusaiga if necessary. Naraku held up his hand to stop him. "Do not unsheathe your sword InuYasha. If you do, I will kill the girl." Again, Unaware there was a jewel shard present within her, Yumi scratched her neck irritated at the itching.

InuYasha took his hand off the Tetsusaiga's sheathe and clenched his fist at his side. "So what do you want? Surely you didn't come all the way down here to greet us for nothing."

Naraku bowed his head and nodded. "Nothing can get past you can it InuYasha?" Naraku turned sharply to the side for his sensitive hearing picked up footsteps from not very far away.

InuYasha's ear twitched. Miroku and Sango with Shippo stopped shortly after they saw Naraku. Sango was ready to attack with her giant boomerang. (After a while, it gets tiring spelling that) "Naraku, what do you want?"

"I don't believe it's good." Miroku lowered his voice so Sango was the only one who could hear. "Considering it is the real Naraku and not some puppet."

Naraku chuckled. "Yes it is I, the real Naraku. And we have come to eliminate the only thing that's standing in our way." He placed a hand On Yumi's shoulder stopping her form fleeing. Yumi flinched at his cold hand but bowed her head in defeat, for she was powerless against Naraku.

"Yumi." Kagome lurched forward to grab Yumi but InuYasha put his arm out in front of her stopping her. "You want to get killed?" Kagome let out a surprising growl from clenched teeth. "I'm not gonna stand around and watch Naraku hurt her. Or do you forget who she is?" Kagome whispered the last part but unfortunately for her Naraku heard her.

And he laughed. The poor girl…she still has no idea that this is all a trap. "I'll make you a deal." Naraku took his cold hand off of Yumi and shoved her forward. Yumi stumbled and fell face first into the dirt. This time Kagome managed to get passed InuYasha and she kneeled down beside Yumi and helped her sit up.

Naraku continued. "I'll give you three days to make it to my castle. There…we will end it."

InuYasha was about to issue a threat but Miroku stepped in before he could get out a word. "What happens if we make it in three days?"

Naraku studied everyone's faces of pure anger and hate before he answered. "You will make it in three days."

"Or what?" InuYasha scoffed.

"I'll kill her." Naraku answered flatly. Kagome shook off Yumi's clutched hands around her arm and stood up glaring daggers at Naraku. "Three days. Now leave."

Naraku muttered something threatening and in a swirling miasma cloud, disappeared. After a moment, InuYasha broke the silence. "What was that all about, Kagome? WE could've gotten him then and there! But you—."

"We'll wait." Kagome cut him off nearly growled again turning to face InuYasha. He knew better than to insult her when she was this angry. Kagome took a deep breath and calmed down a bit. "We'll wait until Naraku is read y for us. And if we're late, we're late."

Yumi gasped. "But Naraku said he'll kill—." Kagome and Sango both laughed mocking Naraku's words. The three boys looked at them curiously but said nothing. "Naraku wouldn't dare kill you Yumi, because then he would have to deal with me." Kagome said sweetly enough that Yumi could do nothing but let out a nervous giggle and InuYasha took a few steps back.

Sango dropped her heavy weapon to the ground. "This should be fun, right Miroku?" Miroku looked at her like she was nuts. "Yeah right, fun."

Kanna sense Naraku's returning and heard a door slide open and he entered. "Kanna! Why do I smell Kagura?"

Kanna turned towards him on her mat holding her mirror close to her. Kagura escaped. Good. "Kagura…her scent still lingers here, Naraku."

Naraku growled but accepted that excuse. "Well get rid of it." And he turned to exit Kanna's room and disappeared down the hall. Kanna sighed a hollow sigh. "I hope Kagura can inform them about all of Naraku's plan…and not just what they know."
