Ok, here is the third chapter to the story! I hope you all enjoy it...

Also, I was a bit... upset that I only have 4 reviews... I mean, doesn't anyone like my story? -sobs-

I hope I get more reviews after this chapter. Seriously people, REVIEW! I cannot write a story where I am only getting a few reviews...

Anyways, on with chapter three!

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Eyes fluttered open revealing two beautiful chocolate orbs of which belonged to the young miko Kagome. She sat up slowly, and her vision was still slightly blurred.

Kagome blinked a few times as her vision returned to normal, but as she looked around, she gasped.

"W-where am I..?" she whispered, seeing she was stuck in some sort of cage. "Ouch... my head..." the miko whispered as she put a hand to her head.

Suddenly, a dark and scary voice chuckled slightly from a fair distance away. Kagome looked around and saw no one. "Who's there?" she asked, somewhat frightened.

Then, something appeared right in front of Kagome, scaring her half to death. Kagome gasped as she looked at the large reptile demon, the one that captured her, with fear.

"Good, you're awake, human," the demon said as an evil smirk came across his face.

"What do you want with me?" Kagome asked as she backed away slightly from the demon.

"Simple. I want you to collect sacred jewel shards for me, seeing that you can sense them..." the demon said, his voice low and creepy.

"No! I won't do it!" Kagome exclaimed as she glared at the ugly creature. The demon let out a low growl as he opened the door of the cage Kagome was in. Kagome gasped slightly.

"Oh yes you will..."

The demon suddenly grabbed Kagome, making the young miko scream in terror.

"Let me go!"

The reptile demon smirked and put a hand to Kagome's head.

What is he doing..? It seems as if... he is looking into my mind...

Moments later, the demon removed his hand.

"You will collect the jewel shards for me. And if you refuse, the ones you call your friends, Sango, Miroku, Shippou and Kirara, will die."

Kagome gasped. No...

"That's not all. I will also kill that pathetic half-breed you love so much right in front of you."

The demon laughed evily as Kagome looked at him with tears in her eyes.

"No... I won't help you..." Kagome whispered. The demon narrowed his eyes as he glared at Kagome. Kagome knew he friends were strong, and they could defeat this demon with ease... Could they?

"You stupid human!" the demon exclaimed as he kicked Kagome right into the wall at the other side of the room. Kagome yelped in pain, and was just about ready to faint.

"Don't you dare faint on me, mortal! You are going to help me whether you like it or not!"

"No, I won't!" Kagome managed to yell. She finally used all her strength to stand up, but the demon growled angrily and charged at her. Kagome let out a shrill scream before the demon grabbed her by the throat and started choking her, as if he was trying to kill her.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Inuyasha heard another scream from Kagome as his dog ears twitched once more. It was very faint, but he could still hear it. He had no choice. He had to save her. He growled, picking up not just the scent of Kagome, but her's mixed with a demons.

The hanyou finally decided to rescue Kagome, so he jumped down from the tree he was in and ran toward Kagome and the demon's scents.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Yet another evil cliffie... I'm sorry I made that chapter short, but I had no choice. If you all want this story to be long, I need to make a few chapters short.

Anyway, please, for the love of god, PLEASE REVIEW! I need more reviews or else I might decide not to update this story anymore. Sorry...
