Well hello! I got some pretty great reviews about my first Inuyasha Fic. I know Sesshomaru wouldn't kill his brother, but he'd torture him every chance he got. Well, now you'll see why Inuyasha's body won't heal itself! Poor Inuyasha!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inuyasha felt a cold wave rippling over him as he was plunged into the portal. He was spinning in a swirl of a dark blue and black vortex looking thing. He was tempted to black out, but decided not to give Sesshomaru and Jaken that satisfaction. He turned and looked over his body, expecting it to begin its usual healing process…

Nothing happened.

He tried to focus his mind on healing his body again. Still nothing. He inspected his wounds, which were deep and stinging from the cold. Inuyasha closed his eyes, trying to think of something…anything…that was warm…

Kagome.

Inuyasha remembered the times when she'd throw her arms around him after a serious fight, and he vividly recalled the way he felt when she did it: He felt like he was the happiest man on earth. He even remembered when he'd embrace her every now and then. He wasn't a mind reader, but she must have liked it; Kagome never pushed him away when he did that.

He snapped back into reality when the vortex ended and he landed face first into a hard wooden floor. He tried so hard to get up, but the strain was too much for his injured body. He collapsed in a heap on the floor. Sesshomaru and Jaken glided to their feet behind him. Sesshomaru smiled darkly, lifting one foot and digging his heel into Inuyasha's back.

"Aaaah!" He cried out in pain, feeling something crack in his ribcage.

"Poor, poor half-breed." He said simply as he grabbed the hair in between Inuyasha's ears and began to drag him deeper into the room.

"You feel this way about that human girl, yet she wouldn't lift a finger to help you…even after your body won't heal those wounds of yours…" Inuyasha growled.

"Kagome wouldn't…wait…how…how did…y-you know my…body couldn't…h-heal?" He forced through the pain shooting up and down his body. Sesshomaru shook his head, smiling ever darker.

"You think I, Lord Sesshomaru, couldn't find a way to break your body temporarily of its healing ability?" Inuyasha's growls were ever more audible.

"You…" He never got to finish his sentence however, for Sesshomaru threw Inuyasha in a circle filled with a moving crystal surface. The crystal liquid instantly became solid as it sealed Inuyasha in a kneeling position.

"What…?" Sesshomaru broke him off by clawing across his face.

"Feh. This is Faherian Crystal. It will eventually capture your body in a solid crystal. The only way it will free you is if Kagome returns for you out of love and nothing more." He tilted his brother's head up to look at his.

"And what are the chances of that after you hurt her so?" And with that, Sesshomaru walked away. As soon as he was gone, Inuyasha broke down and began silently letting tears fall down his face.

"Kagome…" He whispered as he lowered his head and shut his eyes, allowing his thoughts to remain with her…

He wasn't sure how long he was unconscious, but he awoke when he felt something crawling up his body. He looked and saw Sesshomaru was correct, for the crystal was now up to his stomach, sealing his legs and lower torso. He looked up into the darkness of the ceiling.

"Kagome…I'm so sorry…"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kagome ended up in a different part of this place than where Sesshomaru, Jaken and Inuyasha were. She snuck around, peeking in every corner of every room, growing more and more hopeless with each empty room.

"Where are you?" She whispered as she was about to give up all hope. Suddenly, she heard someone talking. She started following the sounds, hoping with all her heart Inuyasha was close by.

"Inuyasha…where can you be?" She whispered. She rounded a corner, only to turn back in a blink, quickly drawing her bow and one arrow, holding it arm's length in front of herself.

"Lord Sesshomaru, I do not understand it! Inuyasha will not tell where that wretched girl is! After all he's been through, why will he not rat her out!" It was Jaken, flailing his arms around in a frenzy. Sesshomaru simply answered his confused little…whatever you wanna call him,

"Simple. He still loves Kagome, even if he realizes she won't come for him. He's only felt this way about that priestess, Kikyo before, and he doesn't want to lose her. Plain and simple." Kagome stood stone still, still letting Sesshomaru's words…

"He still loves Kagome…"

Was that true? Did he love her? She wasn't for sure. She felt a sudden pull towards the hallway opposite where Sesshomaru and Jaken had stood. She couldn't put in words the feeling it gave her…like there was a warmth coming from this direction…only she sensed it with her…heart. She started to move swiftly and silently and swiftly, the further down the hall she got, the warmer this feeling she had became. Then, she heard a voice that seemed to be like…

"Inu…yasha…?" She whispered as she heard the words in her head pleading to her…

Kagome…w-where are…you?

Inuyasha?

Wherever you are…I…

Inuyasha, where are YOU?

Kagome tried answering him, but it seemed that only she could hear him, so she listened as she went deeper and deeper into the dark hallway.

I j-just h-h-hope…you're not hurt…I-I…couldn't stand to s-see you hurt…I wanted to say…I…I'm sorry…I d-didn't want to…h-hurt you…

"Aah!" She hissed as she heard what sounded like a zap of electricity, then it sounded like rising shards of glass merging together…

K…K-Kagome…I…I…l-l-…

There was another zap and more glass sounds and she could hear Inuyasha no more. She brought her bow and arrow tighter, now running down the hall.

She had to find Inuyasha before it was too late.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I know, I know, a corny torture-like ending, but hey, I'm working on it! Next chappie Kagome will have to fight Sesshomaru…alone. She might be too late to save Inuyasha from the crystal! I haven't decided! R & R!
