And back to the story!

Chapter #3: Telepathy

Kagome awoke to find herself in a cold, dreary dungeon.

"How in the world did I get here?" Kagome winced as she felt a sharp pain in the back of her head.

"You have finally awoken." said the soft voice of Kanna.

"May I?" she asked a figure in a baboon skin.

Certainly, and don't mess up, the human must be in perfect condition if the half-demon is to come." replied the cold voice of Naraku.

At that time a soldier came in and said something in Naraku's ear. As Kagome looked closer she noticed that the soldier had no skin just bones.

"Well then, it seems that we have a change in plans. Continue Kanna, but no soul stealing yet." Naraku smirked.

Kanna walked over, and then every thing went black.

With Inuyasha and the gang

"No! She can't be gone she must have just been in the bathroom!" Shippo yelped.

"That still doesn't explain why her window was open." Miroku stated.

"She must have wanted it to be open so if Inuyasha came he wouldn't have to wait until morning or…" Shippo started to trail off.

Inuyasha was hiding how much he was worried about Kagome and said, "I could smell Naraku's evil stench in her room."

Sango, who had gone silent when Inuyasha had said that Kagome was missing, finally spoke, "You never said anything about that before, Inuyasha!"

"If that is true, then how did they learn to go through the well?" Miroku inquired

"Naraku most likely sent Kanna and Kagura to follow her and Inuyasha didn't sense them." Sango suggested.

"They smell so foul, how could I not sense them?" Inuyasha blurted.

You must remember Inuyasha, that Naraku can produce a barrier that holds the smell of the being in it." Kaede announced from outside, having overheard.

"Who asked you, old hag?" Inuyasha retorted.

Kaede walked in and sat down between Shippo and Inuyasha.

"Oh ya, I totally forgot he could do that!" Sango said as she hit her hand on her forehead

Inuyasha put his hand on the hilt of the tetsusaiga.

"I sense something coming our way." Inuyasha warned.

"Me too." Miroku agreed as he grabbed his staff.

Crash

"I just love centipedes!" Miroku commented.

"Just shut up and fight you moron!" Inuyasha yelled.

He started to jump for the head but stopped as he smelt Kagome.

'What the hell? Why do I smell Kagome she isn't here. Is she?' Inuyasha thought.

'Inuyasha? Help me! It's dark and slimy in here, and it keeps moving' Inuyasha heard Kagome's voice in his head.

"What the fuck! I just heard Kagome's thoughts?" Inuyasha started freaking out.

"Wait I just thought I heard Inuyasha's voice! It was muffled but I think he's right outside!' Kagome thought.

"AHHHHHHH!" Kagome screamed as something cut her side.

"Don't attack; Kagome is inside that thing!" Inuyasha bellowed as he leapt and grabbed the hiraikotsu in the air.

"Are you serious?" Miroku asked in his confusion.

"This is Kagome we're talking about; what do you think?" Inuyasha growled. "Damn it!"

'Kagome? Can you hear me?' Inuyasha questioned in his mind.

'Yes, yes I can' Kagome gave a relieved sigh.

'Good, Do you have any idea were you are in the centipede?'

'I'm in a centipede? Can this day get any worse?'

'JUST ANSWER THE QUESTION!'

'Well… there is something beating against my let it's probably the heart.'

'Okay, now how tall are you?'

'Inuyasha this is no time to be asking that question!'

'No I want to know so that I don't chop off your head or anything like that'

'That's a real pleasant thought Inuyasha. I have no idea'

'Then we'll just have risk it. Wait no where did you get hit?'

'On my side. Why?'

'Thanks. Now pray that this works.'

'Well hurry its crushing me!'

Slash

'I can see some light. Inuyasha pull me out.'

Inuyasha reached in, grabbed Kagome, and pulled her out with great difficulty. Sango then finished the centipede off with her hiraikotsu.

"You're safe." Everyone gathered around her except Inuyasha, who jumped up in a tree nearby and sat quietly waiting for everyone to leave.

5 minutes later

"Lets all go back to the village, and have some ramen." Shippo suggested.

"You guys go on I think I'm going to stay here for a little bit." Kagome stated.

"You need your rest child; come back to the village and we'll treat ye wound." Kaede said.

"No really I'll be fine for a little bit longer." Kagome pleaded.

"Well come back to camp as soon as possible. Okay?" Sango ordered.

"Okay." Kagome smiled.

Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Kaede, and Kirara walked back to the village. Kagome saw something glowing out of the corner of her eye.

"What is that?" Kagome walked over and picked the glowing object up. "Ah, another jewel shard."

Kagome went to the tree Inuyasha was in and sat down at its base.

"You can come down now Inuyasha." Kagome said.

Inuyasha jumped down and Kagome motioned for him to come and sit beside her. He sat down in the exact spot she had pointed out.

"Thank you." Kagome said quietly.

"For what?" Inuyasha asked.

"For saving me." Kagome smiled.

"Oh, that was nothing. What I want to know is how we could talk to each other with our minds." Inuyasha inquired.

'How did we do that?' Kagome thought.

"I have no idea." Inuyasha admitted.

"We did it again!" Kagome moaned

"Great I'll never have another private thought in my life." Inuyasha said sarcastically.

"What was that supposed to mean?" Kagome Asked as she playfully punched Inuyasha.

Inuyasha picked Kagome up bridal style and took off

"Put me down!" Kagome yelled.

"Whatever you want." Inuyasha said with a smirk and dropped Kagome.

"AHHHHHHH! INUYASHA!" she was then picked up by inuyasha before she hit the ground. "If I weren't in your arms I would say the word!"

Thanks to all of you people that reviewed and keep with it. I'm going to be gone from the 30th and I'll be back on the 24th. I don't know if the place I'm staying at has internet, so I'm going to go ahead and put up the 4th chapie, and I promise I'll update as soon as I get back if I can't while I'm there.
