A/N: Hey guys, sorry no Callouts today. I have to write a LA project. I know you're probaly like why the hell should I review...well cause I need encouragement. Or no other chapter. Ha! Sorry this chap. is sooo short.

"Ah my little Kagome how does the life of the living fair you?" asked a man coming out from behind a tree dressed in a gaudy baboon outfit. She gave him a glare heated with hate.

"I will never be anything close to yours. You still haven't answered my question, what the hell are you doing alive Naraku." She asked keeping her eyes on him.

"Shouldn't I be asking you that same question Kagome? Last time I had checked you'd sacrificed yourself to bring back Inuyasha. Imagine my surprise when I find out that you're alive. At least when you were dead, all the sacrifices I'd made to kill Inuyasha weren't in vain. When you were dead; it was kind of a bonus, added to the fact that Inuyasha didn't have a spec of memory about you."

"What the hell kind of sacrifices have you made Naraku? You haven't, I hardly even thought you knew the meaning of the word sacrifice." Kagome said turning around beginning to walk away.

"My little stubborn priestess, you're right I have sacrificed nothing. But the same does not apply to you; you've given everything for the hanyou Inuyasha. Has he ever given anything for you? I think not. Since his death meant nothing. As you can see I am still alive and well. But I cannot say that for a little girl you said you would protect. What was her name…oh yes, Hoshiko." Kagome stopped in her tracks. She turned around, to see Naraku taking off his hood. He was smirking.

"What the hell have you done to her?"

"Nothing… as of yet, precious miko. You know someone as powerful as you should not have attachments to humans, they will get you into more trouble than their worth."

"What do you mean powerful? I'm nothing close to powerful. I'm just a priestess, nothing more."

"Kagome, Kagome, Kagome…you have merely not tested the strength of your powers. You may be the most powerful priestess to have lived in quite some time. That is why I want you to join me. If you do, I can assure you the girl's life. You would have my word that she would never be harmed again." He grabbed her arm with one of his tentacle things, dragging him to meet his face.

"Join me, or have her death on your conscience for the rest of your pitiful life," he said. She smirked and spit into his face, causing him to drop her.

"I will get her on my own, with out ANYONE'S help!" she yelled at him. Naraku looked at her, anger filling his face. He grabbed her again, his grip close to breaking her arm. He was about to speak when someone interrupted.

"Let go of her Naraku!" screamed Inuyasha. He drew his Tetsusaiga, putting it in front of him. Naraku smiled coldly at his pitiful attempt to save his unknown soul mate.

"Kagome, I will kill him if he interferes," Naraku said another tentacle appeared. Fear wiggled its way onto her face.

"No, I will make sure he cannot get in the way," she said. Naraku dropped her on the ground. She walked over to Inuyasha. Looking at the ground she began to speak in a whispered tone.

"Inuyasha, please leave."

"No fucking way. I'm going to kill him for turning Kikyou away from me." She looked at him hatred now written clearly on her face.

"Inuyasha you will not interfere! I hate you!" she yelled. Startling him with the anger of the statement, she continued even after seeing his shocked face.

"After everything that Kikyou has done to you. You still want to avenge that clay pot whore, every decision she has made has been of her own accord! I can't believe you…I'm sorry. I shouldn't have blown like that, guess everything has built up inside of me over the days. Go away Inuyasha, what is going on here has nothing to do with you." His ears lowered as he discovered that she had dismissed him. But he still stood tall. She smiled thinking that he was as stubborn as she was. Naraku started cackling behind them.

"Ah Kagome, you have no idea how entertaining this is. But please rap this up before I lose my patience," he said inspecting his claws for dirt. She walked back up to him.

"Do not speak until I am done Naraku. You've no idea how hard it is to tell him to leave, especially when my heart calls out for him. So shut the hell up…please," she said turning back around to face her hanyou. A cold hand wrapped around her neck, causing her to turn around and face Naraku.

"Impudent wench do not speak to me that way!" he yelled at her. She started to hit his arm holding her neck, trying to gain oxygen. Inuyasha watched from a distance, the woman who had moments ago stuck up to him and Naraku struggle to stay alive.
