Chapter 5: First Attack:

Thank you for the reviews. You guys are awesome! Here's chapter 5.

Inuyasha was getting more and more worried about Kagome being in Naraku's hands. He and the others had been searching for the castle for what seem likedays (taking rests now and then).

'C'mon Kagome'. He thought 'Give some sign that you're near…and okay. Your scent wouldn't be too bad. Even the salt in your tears would do us some good. Just please be okay. Stay strong. The others and I are on our way'. He searched high in the trees while Sango and Miroku searched low on the ground.

"Ughh… I can't sense Naraku's demonic arua anywhere". Miroku said with frustration.

"His barrier must be pretty strong". Sango said. "But I do remember Kagura flying in this direction when she kidnapped Kagome".

"I guess that's our best lead at the moment". Miroku said. Just then a mysterious barrier erupted in between them. Sango and Kirara inside and Shippo and Miroku outside

"Miroku!" Sango shouted. "Sango!" Miroku shouted back.

"Where did this barrier come from!" Sango asked.

"I don't know!" Miroku replied.

"What's going on?" came Inuyasha's voice as he jumped from a tree branch.

"Inuyasha, a barrier just came out of nowhere!" Shippo exclaimed.

"Hmm…Sango stand back!" said Inuyasha

"What?"

"I 'm going to try to break the barrier with Tetsuaiga." And he drew out his sword. The Tetsuaiga glowed red and Inuyasha ran at the barrier. 'This barrier can't be that strong, even if it is one of Naraku's'. Inuyasha thought to himself. On the contrary the barrier was strong. Quite strong. Inuyasha threw the sword into the barrier. He stood at a stalemate with it for a few seconds then to everyone's surprise was thrown back a hundred feet into the air.

"Inuyasha!" screamed Sango.

"He couldn't break the barrier!" Miroku asked in astonishment.

Suddenly an arrow flew out of nowhere and hit a tree branch on Sango's side of the barrier. There seemed to be a note attached to it. Sango detached the note and read it. I've escaped from Naraku's castle. You'll be able to reach me. I'm not that far from you guys. Hurry, Naraku maybe coming to get me. Kagome. "Miroku look at this". Sango said showing the note to him

"Hmmm… this could be one of Naraku's traps." Miroku said.

"But what if isn't. Sango said as she got on to Kirara. "Kagome could be within our reach. And if she has escaped, she can tell us where his castle is". And she and headed with Kirara.

"Wait Sango!" Miroku shouted, but Sango had already gone.

"Don't worry I'll bring her back". He heard Sango's voice echo in the woods.

"Ha ha. That's it Sango go and bring Kagome back to her friends" Naraku chuckled as he watched Sango through Kanna's magic mirror. 'This should be fun to watch'. He thought to himself.

Sango came to a small clearing in the forest. She got off Kirara and looked around. "Kagome"! She called out. "Kagome where are you?" she called out again. Suddenly an arrow came flying in and pierced Sango in her right arm. "Ahhh!" She screamed. Where did that come from? More arrows came and pierced Sango and pinned her against a nearby tree. "Who's there! Show yourself!" She commanded.

And out came a figure from the trees. It landed on the other side of the clearing. It was wearing a purple and black demon slayer suit with no pads and a thick cloth covering all of its face except for the eyes. It had two swords at its side and a quiver full of arrows on its back and held a bow in its right hand.

"Who are you?" Sango asked still pinned to the tree. The figure didn't answer.

"You're probably one of Naraku's minions out to recapture Kagome, tell me where she is!"

The figure didn't answer again. Instead it took an arrow out of its quiver and drew the bow. It aimed right for Sango's chest.

"So you plan to kill me" Sango said coldly.

And with that the figure shot the arrow. It headed for Sango's chest at incredible speed. It missed. Instead it hit Kirara right on the side. She was then shot again on the same side by the figure.

"Kirara"! Sango shouted as Kirara landed right below where Sango was pinned. Blood was starting to drip out where the arrows held Sango to the tree. Kirara started to look up at Sango to call her attention. Sango looked into her cat demon eyes as if she was telling her something. As if reading Kirara's mind Sango looked at the figure in utter shock.

"No…don't tell me you're Kagome". The figure again did not answer, but just stood there. As if that was her cue, Kirara sprang up and lunged at the figure. It dodged Kirara and drew out one of its swords. It was its turn to attack. It lunged at Kirara and stabbed her in between the two arrows. Kirara let out a roar of pain as she was pushed to the side

"NO"! Sango screamed as the figure drew its sword out of Kirara, bloodstained and all. Kirara landed with a thud next to Sango. "No you can't be Kagome, You can't be!" Sango exclaimed, tears beginning to well up in her eyes.

As if it was the last thing Sango needed at a time like this, the figure grabbed the cloth covering its face. It pulled down the part covering its nose and mouth down and the part covering its forehead up, reveling Kagome's expressionless face. Sango just stared at her friend paralyzed by utter shock. She didn't even take note to how much blood she was loosing.

'It… it … it… it is…Kagome'. She then began to cry. 'Why has she joined forces with Naraku?' Has she betrayed us?' Sango thought. Kagome took her sword got in a throwing position. She then threw the sword at Sango.

"Inuyasha can't you break the barrier?" Shippo asked. "I'm trying!" Inuyasha exclaimed for the tenth time and he thrusted Tetsuiaga into the barrier.

"AHHHH!" they heard someone scream. "That's Sango!" Miroku exclaimed.

Tetsuiaga made contact with the barrier and this time triumphant. The barrier disappeared into thin air. Inuyasha started smelling the air. "That's Kagome scent!" He shouted

"What!" asked Shippo and Miroku together." It's Kagome's scent!" Inuyasha said as he darted into the woods. "I know it anywhere!" And with that Miroku and Shippo followed after him.

Sango didn't know what to think. Had Kagome betrayed them? If she did, then the sword should have gone through her chest. But it didn't. Instead it flew and just grazed her side. Kagome was starting to shake. It seemed she was trying to fight Naraku's control, but little avail. "Help …me. Help… me, please." She started to say her voice barley a whisper.

"What?" Sango asked. "Help…me. Help me, please". "Sango"! Miroku's voice called.

Kagome looked around and then left. Miroku, Shippo, and Inuyasha just entered the clearing and could not believe what they saw. Sango pinned to a tree by arrows and loosing blood. Kirara lying on the ground next to her with two arrows in her and a deep wound.

"Sango!" Miroku exclaimed and began to get Sango down from the tree, Inuyasha and Shippo tending to Kirara.

"Who or what could have done this?" Shippo asked in disbelief. "I don't know." Inuyasha answered. "But it looks like we have fallen for another trap by Naraku.

"It… it". Sango said weakly.

"Who Sango?" Miroku asked quietly. "Who or what did this to you".

"It… it…IT WAS KAGOME! Sango shrieked. Miroku, Shippo, and Inuyasha all stared at her in shock and disbelief.

"Kagome…Kagome did this?" Inuyasha asked his voice a little hoarse.

"Yes… I couldn't believe it either Sango said sadly.

"Damn that Naraku"! Growled Inuyasha "Damn that bastard! He's controlling Kagome and using her to try and kill us! I'll kill him if it's the last thing I do!" And he grabbed the ground and dug into it with his claws. NARAKU! Inuyasha yelled into the air.

Back at Naraku's castle Naraku was laughing. "Hahaha. "How does it feel Inuyasha? Did you know Kagome could do so much damage when she is against you? Imagine what will happen when she attacks you". He then got up and walked to his room door. But first I have to punish Kagome for not murdering Sango". And he opened the door to head to the dungeons, Kagura watching him. 'He's really enjoying this isn't he'? She thought to herself.

Dungeons

Kagome was back in her kimono kneeling on the floor and sobbing into her sleeves. 'That…that was horrible.' She thought to herself. 'Naraku was serious about this. Me killing my friends. I hope Sango's okay' and she began to sob even harder.

She then moved the sleeves away from her face and noticed the jewel shards in her arms. 'Jewel shards'! Kagome exclaimed to herself. That's how he's been controlling me. Ah! I 've also got two on each of my legs. And one in my chest! How did that…' Realizing what Naraku probably did. 'Naraku that sicko! I've also have one in my neck and forehead!' feeling her neck and forehead 'I've got to get them out!

And she began to pull up one of her sleeves. But as she did the sleeve seemed to get longer somehow, covering her hand and arm. She tried to put her hand up her sleeve, but before her hand reached there the sleeve seemed to close up and prevent her from reaching in.

'What's going on?' she wondered. She tried her other sleeve and it did the same thing. She tried for her legs and that didn't work. She stood up. 'Okay this is really freaky!' she thought. The sleeves returned to normal length after a while.

The strap then began to move as if it had a life of its own. It got long really fast and began to tie Kagome up. First it wrapped around her legs and tied them together very tightly. Then it tied her arms behind her back and made it so her wrists crossed over each other. Then it wrapped around half her face covering her cheeks, nose and mouth and gagged her. Kagome fell on her side trying to break free. 'What's happening!' She wondered. "This is punishment for not killing Sango. Naraku said. As he came into the room. 'Punishment!' Kagome wondered in fear.

A/N: How was it? I had a hard time writing it for some reason. As a little note, I'm going to post another story soon. It's called"Inuyasha: A Modern Fairy Tale" Please read that when you can. I feel it's going to be a good story.
