Naraku and Kagome

"Time for what?" Kagome asked. She was scared and wasn't able to go anywhere.

"It's time for your demise."

"No. Please don't kill me."

"It's not my fault Inuyasha didn't get here in time. Blame him. It's his fault. He could have saved you. But he was to slow."

"No, you're lying. Inuyasha will come and save me."

"If he was, don't you think he would have came by now. He has abandoned you and left you to die. Don't you see? He doesn't care."

"You can believe whatever you want."

Miroku, Sango, and Kikyou

"And plus we have time, schools down for the week." And with that they left to find Kagome, Inuyasha, Naraku and whoever was working with him.

Inuyasha

Inuyasha was up to the last clue in the game. He opened the note and it said. "Kagome is right under your nose. So close, but yet so far away" He thought that it meant that she was close by but what he didn't know that it wad being literal. Kagome was really right under his nose. Inuyasha was standing next to the tree that gave him the clue. Inuyasha didn't realize that the tree wasn't really a tree. It was a secret entrance to where Kagome was being held. Inuyasha knew that Kagome was there somewhere. Her scent was still lingering in the air. He just couldn't pinpoint exactly where. Inuyasha was getting frustrated. He had been looking for Kagome over an hour now, it would be sundown in about ten minutes, and now that he was so close he couldn't find her. He didn't have much time left.

Damn. That's what the note meant by 'so close, but yet so far away'. Where could she be? Inuyasha thought to himself. He kept looking around and he smelt her scent closest to the 'tree'. I found it. Kagome here I come. He thought to himself.

Naraku and Kagome

A/N: Kagome is still in her dream state. Any injuries that she gets in her dream state appears on her physically. Ex: if she gets cut in her dream the scar and blood will appear in real life.

"You need to give up on him. He's not coming Kagome."

"Naraku, the only person that you are fooling is you."

"Well if that's what you really believe then maybe I should kill you sooner."

Kagome was thinking of a way to stall.

"Go ahead. But before you kill me I want to know why you're doing this."

"Well that's simple. I want Kikyou but she wants Inuyasha. No matter how much love I give her she still longs for Inuyasha. Even when Inuyasha makes it clear that he's over her. So if Inuyasha is out of the picture then she'll come to me."

"So what do I have to do with this?"

"I want Inuyasha to feel what I felt. Have the very thing that he cares for taken away by the person he despises the most. And that is why you must die. Whether or not he gets here in time; there will be blood. You will die a slow and painful death."

Naraku pulled out a dagger and cut it across her wrist. Kagome screamed out in pain and her wrist started bleeding. Naraku cut her some more. After he felt satisfied that she bleed enough he put the dagger to her throat. When he was about to deliver the final blow the dream world dissipated. "No" He screamed out.

Inuyasha

Inuyasha found the passage way to the place where Kagome was at. He smelt her blood and it drove his demon blood crazy. He's hurting her. His blood started to boil up and before he could control himself his eyes turned red and his once golden pupils turned blue. His clays got longer and he had a jagged violet stripe on each side of his cheek. He started running to where he smelt Kagome's blood. He got to a door that was bolted closed. He ripped the lock right of and saw Kagome unconscious on the ground with cut appearing on her body. Her blood was intoxicating and it made his demon blood boil. He saw Naraku sitting in the corner of the room sitting Indian style like he was in deep meditation. Naraku's hands had Kagome's blood on it. He got enraged and clawed Naraku in the face. When he did that Naraku screamed out 'no' and Kagome woke up.

Normal P.O.V

Naraku jumped up and attacked Inuyasha with his miasma. Inuyasha moved out of the way so the poison wouldn't get into his lungs. He was about to attack again when he heard Kagome whisper his name. It got his demonic blood to calm down and then he started thinking clearly. Kagome's breathing in this toxic gas. It'll kill her. I have to get her out then deal with Naraku later. Inuyasha thought to himself. He grabbed Kagome and ran through the way that he came. When he came out he was greeted by Miroku Sango, Kikyou and his brother.

"Sesshomaru" Inuyasha was confused.

Sango, Miroku, and Kikyou

Kikyou used her miko powers to scan the forest and just barely found where Inuyasha, Kagome and Naraku were.

"I found them," Kikyou announced.

They were just about to leave when Inuyasha's older brother Sesshomaru came.

"Where are you humans going?" Sesshomaru ordered.

"Why is that any of your business?" Sango boldly said.

Sesshomaru wasn't used to this disrespect from humans but he let it slide for now. His father had sent him looking for his younger sibling Inuyasha because he hadn't come home in a couple of days. And he wasn't staying at Miroku's house. Personally Sesshomaru didn't care were his half-brother was, but his father insisted that he go look for him so he did. And now these humans were giving him problems.

"If it concerns my brothers well being then it is my business." He replied to Sango.

"And since when did you start to care about him?" Sango retorted.

"I don't."

"Maybe we could use his help. Who knows what Naraku has planned," Miroku suggested. "You're right," Sango said.

"I just searched for him and we found where is currently at so if you can come and follow us it would be greatly appreciated," Kikyousaid.

'Indeed', was all she got as a reply. The only reason Sesshomaru agreed to come is because the one person that he despises more than his brother was Naraku.

They reached the place where Kagome, Inuyasha and Naraku were at in no time. When they got there they saw Inuyasha coming out of a tree with a bloody Kagome in his hand. Sesshomaru smelt the filthy han'yo Naraku on Inuyasha's claws and Kagome's body. Inuyasha looked up and his eyes looked up at Sesshomaru. His eyes held confusion.

"Sesshomaru"

"What?"

"Nothing" Inuyasha was confused. What is he doing here? The others I understand, even Kikyou. But what is he doing here. Inuyasha thought to himself.

"Where's Naraku?" Sesshomaru asked.

"He escaped. I couldn't go after him because he poisoned the air and I had to get her out."

"Oh." Sesshomaru's face was still an unreadable mask.

Kikyou saw how bloody Kagome was. No matter how much I despise her I can't let her die. Inuyasha would hate me. Kikyou ran over towards Kagome and summoned her healing powers to heal Kagome. After she was finished all of the scars that were on Kagome's body disappeared and Kagome started to wake.

Inuyasha felt Kagome stirring in his arms after Kikyou healed her. She looked up at him and smiled knowing that everything was alright for now.

Well that's the end of another chappie. I hope you liked it. This is the first time I updated on time. Leave a review on the way out.
