Chapter 3; Forgetful Confessions
Later That Night
Shippou woke from his unconciousness to see that Kaede was taking care of him. He sat up, his side was throbbing from the hit the stranger gave him. Inuyasha was sitting by the fire staring into it, Shippou swore he saw tears. Miroku was sitting next to Inuyasha comforting him for some reason. Sango was putting the kids to bed in the other room of the hut.
"Ah, Shippou you're awake" said Miroku as he patted Inuyasha on the back and walked over to him. Miroku seemed to have a serious look on his face, "Shippou, what happened to Kagome?" Shippou looked confused at the question. She was probobly just taking a---. Than it all came back, the fight, the strange man. How could he have forgotten about it?
Shippou's head hurt a lot from the fight that he had with that man. What happened to him to make his head hurt like it did? "Shippou, Inuyasha and I saw the fight… how did you turn into a Nine-Tailed Fox Demon?" asked Miroku very seriously. Shippou honestly didn't know the awnser to that question. He didn't know how it happened but it happened when he got really enraged at the man for harming Kagome.
Shippou clutched his head and shook it moaning. It really hurt and he didn't know why. He didn't know why he transformed. He didn't know why the man had come to kidnap Kagome. He didn't know! Shippou got very dizzy and all of the pressure hit him with a solid blow, making him faint.
Naraku's Castle
The man brought Kagome into Narakus Chamber and set her down. She had been kicking and screaming all the way to the Castle. She wouldn't stop yelling and making a nuesence of herself even after several threats. Naraku spoke in a calm but molevolent voice to her "Hello Kagome, welcome to my Castle." "WHY THE HELL DID YOU KIDNAP ME!" yelled Kagome who was attacking him verbally "I HAVE A FAMILY TO TAKE CARE OF NOW!"
Naraku looked at her not interupting and than spoke when she was finished, "I'm sorry to say this on such short notice but take these." Naraku opened his hand and showed her several Jewel Shards, extending his hand towards her. Kagome couldn't believe what was happening, it was like a dream come true. She was being handed the last shards to the Shikon Jewel and with no catch at all. She took them from him and stuffed them away safely and turned to walk out of the room.
Kagura and Kana stepped in Kagome's path. Kagura spoke in a threatening voice like the rest "You're not aloud to leave though, not for 5 years." Kagome knew there was a catch to getting the last remaining Jewel Shards. She sighed and turned around to face Naraku, "Fine, I'll stay for 5 years but than I'm leaving." Naraku smiled and waved them away, each of them obeying including Kagome now. She would stay for five years but her love was still pledged to Inuyasha. She had his mark and no one could defy it.
She went from room to room, cooking and cleaning for Naraku and his reincarnations. She ignored Naraku and all the male reincarnations when they would hit on her and she would show them the crescent moon on her neck. She had pledged her love for Inuyasha a while back when she had given him her maidenhood. She would revisit that memory everytime she was feeling down and out. It cheered her up to think about the time her and Inuyasha made love together under the stars. How she would do anything to be with him again but she had her duties to attend to so she could get back to him.
