Heyy you guys! I finally got this chapter up for you! Sorry it took so long again. School's crazy.
Let me know what you think!-------------------Last Time-----------------
"Could you put me down?"
He did. She stared at him. "Go," he grunted out. "Go!" he repeated when she just stared at him. "Before he notices what I'm do…." His voice cut off abruptly and his eyes glazed over again. Grabbing Kagome back up without another word, he raced off in the direction they were originally heading.
Did he just…Was that really him talking to me? Was Koga about to let me go before Naraku regained control over him? Ooooh, Inuyasha! Hurry up and get here, please!
-------------------------------------------------
Chapter 13"Any sign of her?" Miroku panted as he and Sango caught up to the hanyou.
Inuyasha paused and looked back at them.
"They stopped here for a few minutes but then the scent continues…" he sniffed the air, "that way!" he yelled, running off again.
"Come on Miroku!" Sango yelled back as she too took off in Inuyasha's wake.
…………………………………..
Bring the girl now! Bring her to me…
Yes, master.
"K..Koga?" Kagome looked up to the blank eyes that stared strait ahead as he ran on.
"Heyy! Koga!" exasperated, she pushed her hands against him to get his attention. A pink light was emitted as she accidentally zapped him.
Startled, the wolf youkai looked down at her. He started to open his mouth to say something when the two heard a dark "kuh kuh kuh" Kagome and Koga looked over to see a man emerge from the shadows.
"N…Naraku?..."
A sinister laugh left his throat at the question.
"You didn't think you'd be seeing me again, did you?" Kagome, still being held in the wolf's arms, instinctively clutched closer to Koga. "Put her down," Naraku instructed coldly. Koga did as told, placing Kagome slightly behind his own body. This slight alteration in position escaped Naraku's attention, so intent was he on the young miko. Crimson eyes glinted maliciously as they caught the defiant brown ones. Kagome, overcoming her initial shock, was now prepared to stand her ground. So Koga was being controlled by Naraku, just like we thought…what happened to him earlier though? Did he overcome the hold for a few minutes? How did that happen… Kagome's thoughts were cut short as Naraku spoke again.
"Where is the Shikon No Tama, girl?" he bit out as he slowly stepped closer, still ignorant to Koga's tensed body.
"Wouldn't you like to know," she replied. Naraku's eerie eyes narrowed dangerously. Suddenly he was directly in front of her, Koga stood to her side now, after being pushed out of the way. Naraku's growl masked the wolf youkai's own. The crimson eyed hanyou grasped Kagome's chin in his hand as he palced his face inches from the girl's own.
"Tell me where it is," he whispered darkly. "I know you have it, girl." He looked towards her neck to see the usual necklace she wore the jewel on. Upon finding it missing his hand moved to her bare neck. Gripping her throat tightly enough to hurt without cutting off her air, Naraku asked again, "Where is it? What did you do with it?" He stared as her as she glared up at him.
When no answer came Naraku tightened his grip on her neck before drawing her face closer to his. Bringing his lips to her ears, he whispered, "Perhaps a little persuading is needed to get the information out of you?" His voice was full of dangerous anger and a sinister threat. "kuh kuh kuh. Afraid, little miko?" His hand released her neck as he grabbed her by both her shoulders. "Don't want to tell me where it is, hm?" He licked his lips at a new thought. "heh heh, well I have a wonderful way to have my own pleasure while torturing you, defiant wench."
His hand suddenly went to her hair pulling her head roughly back for better access. He than lowered his head to roughly take her lips into his own. Naraku had many plans for this girl's torture, but before he could act on them he was forcefully hit from the side. The collision effectively knocked him away from the girl. Koga now stood before him, teeth bared and fists clenched. The wolf youkai was growling ferociously with Kagome locked tightly to his chest in one arm. She clutched to her savior without second thought, eager to escape Naraku's disgusting intentions.
"Step away from her Koga," Naraku ordered his servant. Koga growled again and for the first time Naraku noticed that the glazed look of mind control was missing from the youkai's eyes. "So, you've escaped my control, wolf?"
"Yeah, and this time I remember everything. You aren't touching Kagome again, you sick bastard." Koga growled. Kagome's eyes opened wide. So, this is really Koga now…I still don't understand how he escaped Naraku's control though… she thought. The wolf youkai continued to growl at his former 'master'. His next words answered Kagome's unspoken question. "Like I'd ever let your filth touch the woman who freed me..."
"Hmm. Her purifying powers shouldn't have been strong enough to accomplish such a feat as freeing you from me…" Naraku narrowed his eyes at the back of the woman still held against the wolf's chest. "What'd you do, girl? Meld youself with the jewel? kuh kuh kuh." Kagome's slight gasp didn't escape Naraku's notice. He glared again. "So you did then, hm? I didn't think you were even that foolish... It's of no matter. My plans for you are even better now than before. Killing you would have been much to easy. I'll enjoy watching you suffer until you give the jewel up to me. You need to be punished anyway for ruining a good servant of mine... Your defiance has caused his imminent death..."
Koga moved Kagome behind him as he stood to face off with Naraku. "You aren't beating me this time, Naraku." the wolf spat out as he cracked his knuckles. A thick silence covered the clearing as the two faced off. Yet, before the fight could begin, the tension was cleanly cut by a loud yell.
"KAGOME! Get away from her, you bastards!" Inuyasha's voice rang out across the clearing.
Inuyasha!
