Well it's been awhile, but there was a nice warning at the beginning of this that chapters would come slowly due to the fact this wasn't to turn out to be a huge original fanfic. Some people actually seem to like this though and that makes me happy. I guess I'll write to it besides just for the fact of driving becky insane. Sounds good to me…and probably to the few who actually read this story lol. Eh…well than, I suppose I should get on with the chapter!

Note: ( X ) this is point of view change.

Chapter,3: Boredom

"What do you want from me," the dog demon growled after Rin and Jaken had passed the two's location and were a good deal out of hearing distance.

"What do I want? I want nothing from you," The demon toyed standing up and taking the bound Sesshomaru toward a summoning circle. "My master on the other hand is quite different. He wants you very much."

Sesshomaru scowled wishing a painful death on the fool, but said nothing. He couldn't really be one to talk at the moment; he had been caught after all. The demon had acted weak and foolish until the last minute when the vines shot up from the ground and surrounded him.

"This will not go unpunished," he said eyes narrowing dangerously. The demon merely shrugged though as if it was no business of his.

"Do you think I care? I work for my master and what becomes of me due to that becomes of me. I fear no death," he replied without any type of hesitance or fear in his voice.

"Or perhaps you don't fear death, because of how your master treats you," Sesshomaru dared and smirked when he saw the demon flinch.

"If you speak again, I'll cut you tongue," he warned and cut his hand in order to let some blood drop on the circle. The summoning circle glowed a bright red and both vanished.

"…Why is Naraku's castle in the middle of no where on some weird island," Inuyasha asked staring at the castle as though Miroku knew all the answers to the world.

"How would I know," the monk asked defensively and decided it was time for them to get a closer look. "Come on, let's see if he's there."

Inuyasha nodded and they made their way across the field towards the castle.

"Y'know, if he really is in that castle, it sure as hell would explain why we can't find him half the time."

Miroku nodded in agreement. If this was indeed Naraku's castle that a lot of questions they had been asking would be answered; things like why they could never find Naraku unless it seemed like he wanted them to find him. Why had it been so hard for Inuyasha to track him down at times even if the barrier was down? Where Naraku was when they had thought him dead. Yes this would explain very much.

"So do you think we should attack him if he is here," Miroku asked watching Inuyasha out of the side of his eye to see the reaction he'd get from his partner. If Inuyasha thought they should just go in and attacked the castle, he'd no doubt do it even if Miroku posted. It was just easier to just get Inuyasha's views on things now so he knew what they were getting into.

"Well, if he's weak I say we go for it. If he's here that means he doesn't want us yet."

"Umm…Inuyasha…?"

Inuyasha looked over at Miroku glaring knowing the taunting tone Miroku was using for what it was.

"What?"

"We didn't appear on this island for nothing. There's a very good chance that this is a trap," Miroku stated seriously.

All the wind seemed to be knocked out of Inuyasha and he groaned sitting down on the field.

"I didn't think about that…"

"Well that's why I said something."

"Y'know! You could of just let me keep on going and warned me a few seconds before death so I'd feel stupid than and not now," Inuyasha screamed punching the ground hard in front of him. "Now what should we do?"

Miroku thought for a few moments. What to do indeed? Naraku's castle was right in front of them, taunting them almost it felt like, to see if they'd come. Did it think them a coward or a fool for doing so though was another matter entirely.

"I do not like the looks of things," Miroku finally admitted a few minutes later after they'd sat down to think about it. "It just seems to odd that we've been shown Naraku's secret island just so he can attack us…he'd have no where to run afterwards if we come close to defeating him. We could just come back to this island while he recovered and take him out all together."

Inuyasha nodded in agreement.

"So you don't think it's a trap, rather that he wants something?"

"Well if it is Naraku, than possibly. There is another chance though that something else sent us here…or that he has a new weapon or stronger magic and is just testing it on us to see how strong it is."

"You got a lot of nice idea's there monk," Inuyasha said glaring his voice sarcastic.

"Well if you have any better ideas, let me know."

Inuyasha said nothing, he didn't have any better ideas and Miroku knew it.

"Alright than, I guess we just go and see what's in store for us."

"I thought this whole speech was to stop us from going," The hanyou said staring up at Miroku.

"Yeah well, I figure we're going to die someday anyway. Might as well be going after Naraku."

Inuyasha said nothing, but shook his head following Miroku as they both headed towards the castle.

"I guess I was a little bit hard on him…" Kagome said frowning a bit and looking from Sango to Kaede. She knew she had been, but wasn't exactly ready to admit that out loud. And why should she be? Inuyasha had given her nothing, but grief lately, she wanted some fun, she wanted to be able to go home and relax without seeing his head in her window demanding that she come back to the Edo era. She sighed looking around and than noticed that Miroku to was missing. "Is Miroku gone to?"

"Yeah, him and Inuyasha were on duty together, I'm not really sure where they are, but they're not here," Sango answered with a slight frown as she petted Kirara gently behind the ears. The demon cat let out a low purr and nuzzled Sango's leg gently as she continued to stroke it.

"That's odd…I know Inuyasha runs off a lot, but Miroku doesn't…Well not unless there's a girl involved," Kagome added as a quick after thought thinking of all the times the monk had done just that.

"We believe that Miroku went after Inuyasha to make sure he stayed out of trouble," Kaede answered poking the fire with a stock gently to keep the fire going.

"Yeah I guess that could be true."

"Oh don't worry about it," Sango said smiling. "They'll be back soon. The minute they both get hungry and Miroku feels the urge to grab me, they'll both come running back."

"Yeah," Shippo added happily trying to make Kagome feel better.

She did slightly, something still didn't feel right to here, but with Miroku and Inuyasha missing for only a few hours there wasn't much for her to say. She hadn't even been in the Edo era, she couldn't prove that they'd left against their own free will. Not yet anyway.

Still she did have that slight edgy feeling she got whenever she thought something was wrong with Inuyasha. She wasn't going to ignore it for to long, but she also realized she couldn't do to much either. She had no idea in the world where Inuyasha or Miroku could be.

"I brought you the demon you wanted," the demon with long blue hair said bowing and Naraku nodded as he saw Sesshomaru bound and gagged behind him.

"Well done," he mused looking over the dog demon completely. He had special plans for this one. You're dismissed Ice."

The demon smiled taking a step back with a bow and vanished from sight. Naraku stood up his long hair trailing behind him as he made his way over to the paralyzed demon in front of him.

"Tell me Sesshomaru. How does it feel to be back in my castle," he asked in an amused tone. Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes threateningly, but they both knew it was just for show. What could the demon possibly do against Naraku considering the position he was in? "I wouldn't worry though. I do not plan to kill," he assured him running a finger down the side of his cheek. "No not yet anyway."

Sesshomaru's stomach did a small flip and he probably would of fell over if he hadn't been paralyzed.

"Miroku I know we both agreed this is Naraku's castle…,but why isn't he attacking us yet," Inuyasha asked impatiently. He really seemed eager to do battle for some reason.

'Probably to take his frustration about this island out on something,' Miroku thought to himself and shrugged slightly as they looked around the outside of the castle.

"It does seem rather odd that he hasn't attacked us yet….however it is no doubt just another one of his traps in order to lure us in and than attack us."

"I sure as hell hope so. I'm bored," The hanyou complained as they walked finally decided to go through the door and into the castle. They looked around cautiously knowing that at any moment Naraku or one of his many minions could show up and attack them, but so far nothing happened.

Frowning a bit they headed deeper into the castle and still nothing.

"Okay this is really starting to piss me off," Inuyasha growled. "NA--"

Miroku slapped his hand over Inuyasha's mouth.

"Do not call out to him," he whispered harshly. "I would rather have the element of surprise if we can."

Inuyasha "pfted" but said nothing when Miroku removed his hand from his mouth. They continued on their way through the castle trying to find some signs of life.
