9- Identity

Previously

Naraku chuckled nonchalantly. "No one will know about it." He turned to his guards. "Throw them in the ocean." He then turned and went towards the back, the girl trailing behind him.

Inuyasha realized that they were at a pier. And he and Sango were about to be thrown off the docks.

Now

Inuyasha continued to fight against the pull of the guard who kept a firm grip on him, even as they ventured out into the rain. They stood on the wooden dock, surrounded by nothing but ocean. A minute later, Sango and her captor arrived. Her face was tear streaked and dirty. She stood quietly, her hands tied in front of her. She had, quite obviously, given up. Inuyasha couldn't blame her, either.

"Who goes first?" Inuyasha's captor asked the other guard, who only replied with a shrug.

Inuyasha smirked and jerked his tied arms free, giving a hard elbow to his guard's face. "You are!" He then kicked him and he teetered before falling into the ocean.

The second guard released Sango, reaching for his gun with a shaking hand. "Bastard!"

Inuyasha tripped him before pulled a knife from a sheath on his side. He plunged it down into his chest. The sound of ripping flesh made Sango gag and she turned away. Inuyasha managed to cut his ropes loose and grab the gun that was still holstered on the dead man.

He aimed at the man in the ocean and pulled the trigger. He saw his body give a violent jerk before sinking into the dark waters.

"There." He turned towards Sango, who flinched a bit. "It's okay. I'm here to help." He cut her ropes with his knife before putting it away. He then stole the holster to the gun and put it around his waist. "Come on. Let's get you out of here. Miroku really wants to see you again." They proceeded over to the motorcycles that he and Kagome had rode.

Words could not describe the look on Sango's face. She was ecstatic about getting away from her kidnappers. "Thank you so much." She frowned. "But what about Kagome?"

Inuyasha smiled. "I'm coming back for her. Until then, she can take care of herself." He climbed onto his bike and she climbed on the back, wrapping her arms around his waist. "Hang on tight," he said. "It's a rough ride." He cranked the bike, revved the engine, and sped off.

----------

Kagome jumped to her feet as someone entered her cell. She had been sitting for the past ten minutes, trying to catch her breath from her previous battle. She had even bandaged her wounds with some of her clothes that she had torn. She really didn't feel like fighting again. Unfortunately, it appeared that she was going to have to in order to survive.

Naraku smirked. "This is perfect. We have the one and only 'Dark Angel' captive. Is this not a beautiful sight, Kikyo?"

The girl who had been with him earlier stepped in with a smile on her pale face. "It is a beautiful sight."

Naraku took a step toward Kagome, who took a tiny step back since she only had an inch of space left before her back collided with a wall. She winced in pain, but continued glaring at Naraku.

He placed a hand on the side of her face and she jerked away. "Don't touch me," she growled.

Naraku looked at Kikyo in a manner that would suggest he was thinking, "Ooh, she is a feisty one, is she not?" Then he focused on Kagome again. He lifted a hand before swinging it hard. It came in contact with the side of her face and she gasped unwillingly.

"Time to see who is under that mask once and for all." He extended a hand and curled his fingers under the bottom part, right below her eyes. She instinctively jerked her head up and slapped his hand away before brandishing her gun.

"Nobody touches the mask." She snarled.

Naraku simply chuckled before grabbing the gun and twisting, causing her arms to twist as well. She automatically released her weapon and he pointed it at her head. "I can wait, Dark Angel, until you die from your wounds to see your face. But what would be the fun in that?"

Kagome smirked, despite the fact that she was in immediate danger. She was looking into the face of death and all she could do was smirk. "Looks like you won't get you have your fun."

Naraku lowered the weapon and smiled. "I have things to do, unfortunately, but I will return in an hour. When I get back, I do not care if you are alive or dead. I will remove that mask."

"You can try." Kagome replied, her smirk gone.

Naraku chuckled. "Your mouth is fast. Better catch it before it slips away and it gets you into a lot of trouble." He then snapped his fingers and Hiten appeared. Naraku nodded to him and Hiten grabbed Kagome in a firm grip, restraining her. Naraku then searched her for any weapons, removing them if he found any.

As he headed out the door, weapons in hand, he lowered his head slightly to Hiten, who continued to restrain her. Then, to Kagome, he said, "See how long you survive without your precious weapons to aid you."

He went to go outside once again, only to halt. "Hiten, do what you wish to her."

"My pleasure." Kagome felt his voice reverberate throughout her body. Her heart missed a beat when Naraku exited her cell and sealed the door shut. She knew then that she was in real danger.

----------

Inuyasha brought the motorcycle to a stop in front of the large museum. Sango climbed off and waited for him to do the same. Once he had, they went inside and looked around for Miroku. They eventually found him, sitting at a table, slumped over, sleeping. Sango giggled and shook him gently, "Miroku. Miroku, wake up."

He stirred a bit before opening his eyes and sitting up groggily. "Sango?" She smiled and he hugged her tightly. "I missed you so much. Are you all right? Are you hungry? Do you need anything?"

Sango placed a hand on his chest to silence him. "I'm fine."

He nodded and turned toward Inuyasha. "Where's Kagome?"

Inuyasha was slipping on a jacket and grabbing some more weapons when Miroku asked. He paused and looked at him. "I'm going to go get her. You just take care of Sango. Got it?"

Miroku did not like to be ordered around, but he nodded anyway. He lead Sango upstairs and Inuyasha went back outside and packed the container on his bike full of weapons and ammo. He then straddled the bike, cranked it up, and sat for a moment. Determination flashed in his eyes. He was not going to give up.

He spun out, leaving a black streak on the cement, and sped down the highway. All the while, he prayed that Kagome was still alive.

----------

Kagome cried out as she was slammed into a wall once more. She couldn't take the pain and collapsed to her hands and knees, panting wildly. Blood was dripping down her arms and sides. The bandages she had made using remnants of her clothes had been torn off completely to reveal long, crimson gashes in her skin. Her head was still bleeding from the sneak attack and she felt sick. She couldn't take it anymore. She felt as if she were going to die right there.

Hiten, however, had other plans. He extended a hand, grabbing a handful of hair and pulling, bringing her up to her feet. "Is this all I'm going to get from the 'Great Dark Angel'?"

Kagome looked at him through the mask that covered her eyes. She felt dizzy and she couldn't focus on him for long. Her eyes drifted away to the floor and eventually, she found herself gazing over her body. Blood soaked her tattered shirt and obscured numerous places on her body.

"Look at me." He grasped her chin and tilted her head up so she was staring at him. She wasn't sure of how much time passed, but it felt like forever before he moved again. He grabbed her mask and ripped it off, revealing her face. She managed a hoarse gasp as she stared at him. She felt naked without it. She had never -- not once -- revealed herself to an enemy. Sure, she had shown her face to Inuyasha, but he was not her enemy.

"Damn," he comment. "You're too beautiful to be fighting like this."

He suddenly pressed his lips against hers roughly, snapping her out of her reverie. Somehow, she regained some of her energy and attempted to shove him off. It was all in vain, however, since her pushed her down onto the floor, crawling on top of her and straddling her. He grabbed the left over contents of her shirt and ripped them clean off, revealing her blood spattered bra and cut skin. She winced in pain as his weight crushed her wounds. "No," she whispered hoarsely. "Please, no."

He grabbed at the straps on her bra, leaning down and kissing her neck. She placed a hand on his chest and pushed, but he grabbed it and held it above her head. She squirmed uncomfortably underneath him and it only turned him on more. "Stop…please…" she could barely talk, she was so weak. The fact that he was also crushing her lungs was not helping, either.

He fingered the waistband of her pants and began tugging them down, kissing her mouth roughly. Using some of the last energy she could muster, she bit his lip and he jerked back in surprise and anger. She began squirming and wriggling more, pulling her hand free and punching him in the face. He fell backwards and she ran for the door, desperately searching for a way out. When she couldn't find any kind of handle, she screamed and punched the door repeatedly. "No!"

Something colliding with the back of her head caused her to fall once again before Hiten jerked her back up. He grabbed her wrists as she wobbled in front of him in a dazed manner. She caught sight of her knuckles and saw that they were bleeding profusely. He didn't seem to mind, however, and slid one of her bra straps down her shoulder before cupping the side of her face in his hand, making her focus on him.

"Bitch," he snarled. "Don't you ever do that again."

Kagome saw a window behind him and figured that she could bust the glass open. She only needed something to bust it open with. She grabbed his shoulders and brought her knee up to his stomach before bending him over and slamming her knee into his face. He collapsed and she picked him up, partially dragging him over to the window.

He must have figured out her plan for he grabbed a handful of hair and slung her down onto the cement floor. Her head collided first before her body did and she just laid there. Hiten kicked her in the stomach, his foot making contact with her stab wound, and she cried out in pain and rolled over. Hiten took this as an opportunity and climbed on top of her once again.

This time he managed to get her pants down to her knees. She started swinging her arms frantically, but he pinned them above her head with his left hand while he used his right to try and remove his own clothes. "No!" She shrieked. "Stop it!"

A sudden explosion caused both of them to cease in their actions. Hiten stood up and buttoned his pants, looking around the room curiously. Another explosion shook the entire building it seemed and Kagome pulled herself into a sitting position, pulling her clothes back on. She looked down in melancholy at her shirtless upper body before looking up at Hiten. He glared out the window.

The door suddenly swung open and Hiten's brother appeared. "Hiten, it's an attack. Come quickly!"

Hiten growled in frustration and turned to glower at Kagome. "Stay here, I'm not done with you yet." Then he left her alone in the room.

Kagome stood up slowly, wincing in pain as she did so. She looked over her injuries before gingerly placing a hand on the stab wound to her stomach. She nearly toppled over from the pain, but this was nothing new. She had had dozens of stab wounds before. She could handle this. But as she examined it, she realized that it was quite deep and that frightened her a bit.

A third explosion surprised her and she couldn't help but wonder what was going on. Would it effect her in any way? Well, it would if some dude just came in and kidnapped her. She was dressed to turn someone on, in nothing but her jeans and bra. It would effect her greatly if that happened. But to her relief and dismay, it was not just some dude who busted into her cell. In fact, it was a person who was special to her.

Inuyasha rushed up to her and grabbed her shoulders gently. "Are you all right?" He wanted to know.

Kagome gazed into his eyes. They were full of concern and kindness. She rarely got a chance to see it, so she took her time in answering so she could get a long look at it. "Yeah…I'm all right."

It was then that Inuyasha finally noticed how she was currently dressed. She saw his face turn a slight shade of scarlet and he pulled his jacket off. "Here." He handed it to her and she had no seconds thoughts about putting it on. It was still warm. "Come on, let's get you out of here."

Kagome nodded and followed him out of the cell. He had blown up almost the entire building. A lot of people lay dead or dying on the floor. She examined every body for specific people only to become disappointed. Naraku, his new girl Kikyo, Hiten and his brother had all escaped somehow. She sighed and let him lead her to his bike where she climbed on gently before he rode off.

----------

Kagome was lying on the comfortable bed in a hotel room, looking up at the ceiling in discontent and pain. She remembered Miroku's exact words he had said after she had had her small reunion with Sango. He had been bandaging her wounds as he spoke. "Kagome, I need you and Inuyasha to find a hotel or something to stay in."

Kagome turned her head slightly to try and see his face, but it hurt to move and she was forced to resume her previous position. "Why?"

"I have to keep making some money in order to survive," he explained as he pulled the bandage around her abdominal area securely. She winced. "I have to reopen sooner or later."

Kagome felt tears well up, but she blinked them back. She understood what he was saying perfectly. It just hurt to hear it.

"Besides," he went on. "You need a real bed to sleep on. Inuyasha told me about where you have been sleeping and I don't like it. He doesn't, either."

Kagome hid her surprise. He didn't like it? Did he really care about her? "I understand. We'll leave in a little bit."

"Don't get the wrong idea of me, Kagome." Miroku continued. "I would love for you to stay here. I love you like a sister, but you must understand."

"I do. And it's perfectly fine. Don't beat yourself up over it. Just finish and I'll leave."

Now, she was lying down. Inuyasha had gone out to buy groceries almost an hour before, claiming to return soon. She just had so much on her mind and needed to get it all out somehow.

The door suddenly opened and she jumped up out of instinct, regretting it instantly. She screamed as a sudden burst of pain erupted through her body. Inuyasha sat the bags of groceries down on the floor, kicking the door shut with his foot. He went over to her and sat on the edge of the bed. "Idiot," he spat.

"Well," she said, placing a hand over her bandaged stomach. "You shouldn't scare me like that."

"Heh, whatever." He stood up and lifted the bags of groceries up and began putting them away in the cabinets and refrigerator.

As he was doing this, Kagome decided to bring up the girl who was with Naraku. "Did you see Naraku's new girl?"

"Yeah." He growled.

Kagome blinked at his back. What was his problem? Ever since they had gotten back to Miroku's museum, he had been acting strange. Not strange, angry. Very angry. "I heard Naraku say her name. It was--"

"Kikyo." Inuyasha cut her off.

"Huh?" Kagome stared at him in bewilderment. "How do you know?"

Inuyasha sighed and turned around, obviously finished with putting the groceries away. "She used to be the love of my life."
