Previously: As soon as she got up she heard a voice that was full of malice call her name. "Kagome" Naraku. Was all Kagome could think of before she passed out.

2. Just a little while longer

Sesshomaru sensed a great evil coming towards his castle. It was heading towards Kagome's room in his castle. He got enraged that someone was trying to attack her again. He ran (though it seemed like gliding) to Kagome's room. When he got there, he saw her unconscious in Naraku's arms.

Naraku was about to fly away with Kagome in his miasma cloud when Sesshomaru stepped in. Naraku stopped and faced Sesshomaru.

Kagome's Mind

She was running away from Naraku. He was telling her that no one could save her now. She kept running down the seemingly endless dark void towards a light that she just couldn't reach. She tripped over her own feet and when she got up, she saw Naraku hovering above her. He was telling her that she wouldn't see her family or friends again. He covered her in his miasma and everything went dark for her. She thought that Naraku really had her until she saw piercing golden eyes and she knew that she was saved.

End of Kagome's Mind

"Where exactly did you think that you were going with the miko?" Sesshomaru asked.

"I was just going to relieve her off of your hands. She will no longer burden you," Naraku replied in a menacing tone.

"If I wanted her gone she would not be here right now." Sesshomaru still had his stoic mask on as he calmed his anger. He was getting tired of people interfering with his plans. First the miko, and now this pathetic hanyou. Sesshomaru thought that Naraku was even lower than his half-brother Inuyasha was.

"Well I decided that she would be of use to me seeing that she is none to you." Naraku was toying with Sesshomaru and he knew it. He knew that the demon lord was merciless. He needed to think of something fast before Sesshomaru attacked him. Naraku did not know of Sesshomaru's immunity to poison so he decided to use his miasma against him. He was just about to leave when Sesshomaru suddenly pulled him back.

"You filthy hanyou. Did you really think that your silly tactics would stop me?" Sesshomaru commanded rather than asked.

Naraku knew that this was a fight he couldn't win until he got stronger. So he put Kagome on the floor and used his miasma cloud to leave.

Sesshomaru knew that the hanyou wouldn't come back for a while. He wasn't worried because he knew that no matter what the hanyou did, he would never be able to defeat him. Sesshomaru picked Kagome off the floor and placed her on the bed. He closed the balcony doors and put up a barrier around it just incase the hanyou was stupid enough to come back.

Kaede's Hut

"Miroku, what do you think is keeping Kagome and Inuyasha so long? They should be back by now," Sango said to Miroku.

"Maybe they went to Kagome's time," Miroku replied.

"But they would have told us. What if they got into some type of trouble and need our help?" Sango said in a worried tone.

"You're right. We should go look for them."

Sango and Miroku climbed on Kirara, and carrying a sleeping Shippo, they took off towards the place where Kirara smelt Kagome scent.

When they reached deep into the forest, Kirara landed on the ground. Sango looked around her and examined her surroundings. Her eyes fell on a blood stained area. She immediately got scared. She pointed for Miroku to look. Miroku looked at it and his heart dropped. He was hoping that it wasn't Kagome's. He almost tricked himself into believing it, until Shippo woke up.

"Sango, Miroku, why do I smell Kagome's blood in the air?" Shippo asked.

Miroku was now positive that it was Kagome's blood. Shippo was beginning to get worried.

"Miroku, where's my okaa-san?"

Miroku didn't want to scare Shippo too much.

"We don't know, but she's probably with Inuyasha so don't worry," Miroku said.

"Then why do I smell so much of her blood?" Shippo asked.

"Maybe she got hurt and Inuyasha went to go take care of her," Sango answered.

"Let's go look for Kagome," Miroku suggested.

They all climbed on Kirara and took off towards to where Inuyasha's scent was.

Inuyasha

"Now that she's out of the picture, we can finally mate," Inuyasha said to Kikyou.

"Not just yet. I need something done before we can mate," Kikyou replied.

"O.k. You know that I'll wait forever for you."

"Yes, and I love you too. Now what are we going to do about the rest of your group? They'll figure out what we have done to Kagome sooner or later."

"We'll figure it out when we see them."

"Well you better figure it out soon because they're heading this way."

Then, Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and Kirara arrived.

"Inuyasha, where's Kagome?"

I know that the chap was short but I'll make up for it in the next. I hope you liked it. Leave a review on the way out.
