Chapter 8 : Naraku's Bride
"You're trapped" Hakudoushi stated as Koga stopped at the edge of a cliff.
"Midori, just stay at my back. I won't let them get you" Koga said as Midori nodded.
"Bakana" Hakudoushi grunted as he waved his spear casting a huge wave to them. In that instant, Koga's eyes widened in shock as he couldn't think of a way to get out of it.
'It's too humongous to evade' Koga thought hesitantly.
"Yameru!" Midori shouted out as her ribbon instantly came off, revealing her birth mark glowing as she waved her arm, creating an even bigger wave than that of Hakudoushi's, cancelling it out.
"Totetsumonai (unbelievable)" Hakudoushi said, his eyes widened in shock.
"You truly are fit to be Naraku's bride" Hakudoushi said as he suddenly disappeared.
"Nani?" Koga shrug.
"Bakeru" Kagura stated as Koga turned around to see Midori in their hands.
"Midori!" Koga shouted out as Kagura then flew off, instantly disappearing.
"Koga!" Inuyasha called out as he, Sesshomaru and Kagome then arrived.
"Inuyasha, Kagome, gomen ne. But they tricked me. They used Hakudoushi as a distraction so they could take Midori behind my back" Koga said, clenching a fist.
"Baka! You let them get away! You aho!" Inuyasha shouted out as he instantly punched Koga on his face, knocking him down.
"Inuyasha yameru!" Kagome demanded.
"Iie Kagome. I deserve this. I've been nothing but a nuisance to all of you, causing you guys some trouble. And whenever you needed my help, I was never helpful. I'm useless" Koga said in a weak voice.
"Koga-kun" Kagome said in a soft voice as she looked down.
"Demo, Naraku won't hurt her" Koga informed them as they turned to Koga in confusion.
"Why do you say such a thing?" Sesshomaru asked curiously.
"Because Hakudoushi jus tsaid that Midori was fit to be Naraku's bride" Koga explained as their eyes' widened in shock.
"Sesshomaru!" Kagome exclaimed as she instantly hid her face in Sesshomaru's chest, while Sesshomaru instantly hugged her.
"This is all my fault. I led her to this. Everything that happened to me is happening to her" Kagome said in tears as Sesshomaru then hugged her tightly.
"Don't worry. We'll get her back. And I'll make sure that Naraku pays for it" Sesshomaru declared.
Meanwhile, in Naraku's lair, Midori opened her eyes to see that she was in a room filled with a strong jyaki.
'Where am I?' Midori asked herself as she sat up, looking around the room.
"Don't worry Midori. I won't hurt you" a voice came out as Midori instantly turned around to see a man, looking out the window.
"You must be Naraku" Midori said in a stern voice as Naraku calmly nodded.
"It seems that choosing you as my wife is not a wrong decision after all" Naraku said as Midori shrug.
"Wife?" she asked.
"We'll be figthing side by side from now on Midori" Naraku said as he stared glarely at Midori.
In that intant, as Midori looked at his eyes, her eyes widened in shock as her hazel eyes instantly turned dark, losing control of herself.
"Now Midori, would you like to be my wife?" Naraku asked as Midori then bowed down to him.
"Hai Naraku-sama" she replied, clearly being controlled by Naraku.
"Mattaki (Perfect)" Naraku stated as he then walked up to Midori.
In the woods nearby, Sesshomaru, Inuyasha and Koga were helping each other in sniffing out Midori's scent.
"I got it!" Koga exclaimed as they all rushed towards him.
"Nani Koga?" Inuyasha asked curiously.
"Midori's scent. It stopped here" Koga replied.
"Naraku must be using a barrier again" Kagome stated as they all nodded.
"Hmph. Naraku keeps doing the same tricks all over again" Sesshomaru grunted.
"Kaze no kizu!" Inuyasha shouted out ashe then waved tetsusaiga.
But to his dismay, tetsusaiga's kaze no kizu was completely swallowed by the barrier.
"It's no use" Hakudoushi stated as he stepped out of the barrier and stood in front of them.
"The barrier won't break. Not with tetsusaiga, toukijin, or anything else especially your purifying arrow Kagome" Hakudoushi informed them as their eyes' widened in shock.
"Baka! Urusai!" Inuyasha demanded.
"Let me finish Inuyasha" Hakudoushi stated as Inuyasha shrug.
"Though it can't be break, Naraku told me that the heart that is pure can come in" Hakudoushi explained.
"Demo, why are you helping us?" Kagome asked curiously.
"Because Naraku is forcimg me to follow him because he has my heart as well as Kanna's and Kagura's" Hakudoushi replied as he suddenly vanished out of thin air.
'Naraku took Kagura's heart back? Naraku you bastard. No wonder Kagura's wind blades were back to normal' Inuyasha thought.
"Shall we give it a try?" Kagome asked as Inuyasha and Sesshomaru nodded.
"What about you Koga?" she asked.
"Don't mind me. I've caused you all much more trouble. Plus, I'm sure I can't come in because my heart isn't pure" Koga replied as he turned away.
"If you already forgot Kagome, I used to kill innocent people just for my wolves to eat some meat" Koga explained as he then walked away.
"I'll just help out at the village. Sayunara" Koga stated.
"Hmph, bakana" Inuyasha sighed as he then stepped in the barrier.
"Sesshomaru" Kagome said as she then held his hand.
"Don't worry Kagome. I'll be with you all the time" he said as he held her hand tightly. With that, the two then stepped in together.
At Naraku's fortress, Naraku waited patiently in front of the shrine for Midorias he held an innocent monk captive to do the ceremony. Kagura, Kanna and Hakudoushi were there, acting as witnesses to their marriage as well as making sure that no one would interrupt the ceremony. Then in that instant, Midori finally arrived.
She was wearing a beautiful white wedding dress as she slowly walked up to Naraku and the monk.
"Naraku!" Inuyasha shouted out as he barged in the room along with Sesshomaru and Kagome.
"Midori-chan!" Kagome called out as Midori's eyes instantly turned back to normal.
"Kagome-chan! Inuyasha!" Midori exclaimed as she attempted to run towards them.
"Don't even think about it" Naraku stated as he instantly grabbed Midori's arm and pulled her towards him.
"Naraku baka! How dare you try to get Midori as your wife!" Inuyasha shouted out.
"Nandeyo Inuyasha? Is it because you love her?" Naraku asked as Inuyasha shrug.
"Hmph. Yapari" Naraku said as he instantly waved his hands as roots suddenly came out from different directions and held Inuyasha, Kagome and Seshomaru to the wall.
"Naraku you coward!" Inuyasha shouted out.
"Now you monk, begin the ceremony!" Naraku demanded as the monk nodded hesitantly and hurriedly opened his book.
"Naraku, do you, take this woman, Midori, as your lawfully wedded wife? To have and to hold until death do you two part?" the monk asked in a shaky voice.
"Yes I do" Naraku said as Midori continued to struggle out of his grips.
"Do you, Midori, take this man, Naraku, as your lawfully wedded husband?" the monk asked.
"Konrinzai (Never)" Midori said bluntly as Naraku glared at her.
"You might want to reconsider Midori" he stated as he snapped his fingers. In that instant, Hakudoushi then aimed his spear at Kagome and waved his spear, casting a huge wave.
"Kagome!" Midori and Sesshomaru shouted out.
Without hesitation, Sesshomaru instantly changed into his youkai form, releasing himself from Naraku's roots as he then instantly took Inuyasha and Kagome out of the way.
"Kagura! Kanna!" Naraku shouted out as Kagura instantly waved her fan, casting wind blades at the three while Kanna turned her mirror, attempting to drain the souls of the three.
"Yamete!" Midori shouted out as tears streamed down her face.
"Midori don't do it! We can easily avoid this" Inuyasha stated as Midori turned to him.
"Inuyasha look out!" Midori shouted out, spotting Hakudoushi attempting to attack him. But it was too late.As soon as Inuyasha turned around, Hakudoushi then casted a wave, knocking Inuyasha down on the floor.
"Inuyasha!" Midori shouted out seeing Inuyasha unconscious.
"Well Midori?" Naraku asked once more as Sesshomaru and Kagome were caught in Naraku's roots once again.
"Hosoi (Fine). I'll do it. Just promise me you won't hurt Inuyasha and the others" Midori said in tears as Kagome's eyes widened in shock.
"Midori no! Don't do it!" Kagome shouted out.
"Urusai!" Naraku shouted out as a root instantly punched Kagome on her stomach, knocking her unconsious.
"Kagome!" Sesshomaru shouted out, bursting in flames.
"You heard her monk. She said she'll do it" Naraku informed the monk as the monk shrug.
"Well then, by the power vested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride" the monk stated, shaking panickly as Naraku then grinned.
"Finally, I have you" Naraku stated as he then held Midori's face and kissed her. In that instant, Midori's eyes glowed brightly as she and Naraku were then engulfed by a bright light.
