Chapter Fourteen:

Sesshomaru ran through the thick forest, dodging trees and jumping over broken branches. He assumed that Naraku was the one responsible for damaging the tree's. A piece of white fabric was flowing in the breeze snagged by a rough bush, Sesshomaru picked up the shred, it was Kagome's shirt. The surrounding area was littered with the remaining pieces of her shirt. "Naraku!" Sesshomaru yelled through the forest. He took off at a lightning speed, jumping above to the canopy to get a better look at his surroundings. He spotted the two and dove down into small, but still clear area.

Kagome was huddled beside a tree, a bruise was already appearing on her face. "Brother Sesshomaru, your just in time. Would you like to have a turn with the lovely Kagome? I warn you though, the little wench can hit." Naraku turned to face Sesshomaru, four lines of blood were across his eye and a bruise was forming on his upper neck.

Kagome choked back a sob, she wasn't usually this helpless, but he had already warn her down to the point she didn't think she could make it. Her powers contributed a lot to her energy, the barrier they passed through had drawn her powers out of her. Kagome raised her head to see who had burst into the barrier. Naraku's back was turned and on the other side was Sesshomaru. 'I cant fend Naraku off without my powers, let alone both Naraku and Sesshomaru!'

Everywhere around the small clearing was covered in miasma, how could she get through it? 'Oh Inuyasha, I wish you were here...' Kagome wearily stood and began to run through the forest, shielding her nose from the thick poison. She looked over her shoulder to see if they were following. She breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't see them. Her moment of peace was short lived as she un knowingly ran into the arms of Naraku. "You cant get away that easily, Kagome. Now, lets go back and have a nice chat with Sesshomaru."

"NO! Please just let me go! INUYASHA! Inuyasha help me!!" Naraku through Kagome over his shoulder. "Shut up! your precious Inuyasha will not be coming for you!" Kagome was soon thrown to the ground back in the same clearing she had been in. She tried to cover herself the best she could, thank kami she decided she was going to wear an undershirt today. Sure it was small, but atleast she had something. Kagome quickly scooted away from Sesshomaru and Naraku, back to the same tree she was sitting by before. Her mind was calling out to Inuyasha, screaming his name.

Inuyasha stood up from the chair. "Kagome?" Aiko, with a confused tone, asked. "Is Kagome here?!" Inuyasha walked over to the kitchen door, which led outside. It was like Kagome was right beside him. "Stay here!" Inuyasha took off into the forest once again, her voice was getting louder with every step. 'Hang on Kagome, I'm coming!'

"Sesshomaru, would you like first turn?" Naraku gave a malicious smile at Kagome, taking two steps in her direction. Kagome stood up ready to fight, she only got as far as her fighting stance before remembering that her powers were gone. "My dear brother Naraku, you must be mistaken, for Kagome is mine." Naraku stopped his advance on Kagome and turned to face Sesshomaru. "Brother Sesshomaru, as I see it you took Sango from me, so its only fair that I take Kagome." With one swift motion Naraku was behind Kagome with an arm around her waist and another around her neck. "Why Naraku, id o believe that was a mistake." With a speed to fast for Kagome to see Sesshomaru was behind Naraku One clawed hand tore across Naraku's back and he jumped to the other side of the clearing hissing in pain.

"Kagome, are you ok." Sesshomaru gave her a look over to check for bleeding and all Kagome could do was nod dumbly. "Good then, Naraku, you have only 2 choices. You can leave Kagome alone or you can die."

"Tisk, tisk. Brother, do you expect me to believe that you would actually kill me?" Naraku winked at Kagome before continuing. "You said it yourself, You wouldn't kill Miroku for fear of what father would do, why would it be different with me?"

"Because, Naraku, Father does not like you." Sesshomaru grinned evilly, striking a little bit of fear in Naraku's heart. Naraku was never the one to take fear easily, so he vanished among the miasma. "Kagome, stay here." Sesshomaru ran into the dense fog of miasma. 'Naraku your not getting away that easy.'

Kagome stared blankly into the dark violet ridden forest. Why was this happening to her? 'Inuyasha I hope your, ok...'

"Hey Kagome, have you decided what you want to do today?" Inuyasha walked into the game room and sat down in the chair beside Kagome. She was playing a game of chess with one of the guards. "Yes, actually I'd like to go on a walk, is that ok? Check and mate!" Kagome raised her hands in victory but quickly blushed over as the thought of 'mate' popped into her head. "So, Kagome where do you want to walk to?" Kagome his her face from Inuyasha and mumbled. "Just in the woods."

30 Minutes Later

They had been walking in the woods for about twenty minutes when they came to a clear lake. You could see right through it to the fish and the rocks. "Inuyasha, can you turn around for a minute?" Inuyasha quirked an eyebrow at her but didn't ask questions, he just turned his back to her.

Kagome took off her shirt, then her skirt and draped them over a tree branch. She dipped her foot in the water to check the temperature before slowly entering the water. "Ok you can turn around." The first thing Inuyasha saw was Kagomes dressing hung over a branch, then Kagome in the water. She was in waist deep but her back was turned to him. He could see her pink under wear just below the waters surface, but her undershirt was laying at the waters edge. "The water is nice today." Kagome dunked below the water so only her head was showing.

Inuyasha couldn't help but be mesmerized by the gracefulness of her movements. Without thinking be took off his shirt, and walked into the water. The rim of his shorts was barely touching the water before Kagome noticed that he was in the water. "Inuyasha?!" Kagome turned around her arms crossed to cover herself. Inuyasha grabbed her around the waist and sealed off her questions with a soul searing kiss. Kagome slipped her tongue into his mouth and he took over from there. They quickly broke apart when the bushes on the lakes side rustled. "Who's there!" A small squirrel jumped from the bush and ran up the neighboring tree.

"Stupid squirrel." Kagome hit the water lightly, before reality set in. She gently touched her lips that were still tingling, a blush quickly spreading over her like wild fire. She turned to get a better look at Inuyasha, he was blushing just as bad as she was. "We should get back Kagome." She nodded and waited for him to put his shirt on before she got out of the lake.

Inuyasha ran as fast as he could through the forest, it wasn't long before he came upon the same barrier that had been there before except this time a small pink orb was fluttering franticallie trying to get through the blue and purple barrier. The orb came to a halt as soon as Inuyasha landed infront of the barrier. It flashed over to him and seemed to sit on his nose as if looking at him, the orb flew a few feet away from him then at top speed ran itself straight into Inuyasha's stomach. Inuyasha quickly checked for a wound but found none. He walked up to the barrier and put both hands to it, a pink light shown and the barrier evaporated. The pink orb shot from his stomach and through the forest, leaving Inuyasha dazed and confused.





Kagome sat very still on the ground, a pink light showing through the trees and the miasma was quickly dispersing. A very light pink orb floated infront of her. "My powers! But, how did they get through the barrier?" Kagome took the pink orb in hand and gently squeezed it until it disappeared. "I am whole aga-" Kagome felt a very sharp pain at the back of her head, and her world blackened.

Inuyasha burst into the clearing to see an unconscious Kagome being taking away by a guard, indubitably a wolf guard. "KAGOME!!" Inuyasha jumped to the top of the tree and was about to leap and slay the unknowing guard, but something or someone had his foot. He slashed the perpetrator but when he looked up again, Kagome no where in site. A growl formed low in his chest "Whoever you are, your going to wish you hadn't done that!" Inuyasha jumped down from the tree and began to yell at the person in it. "Get down here now! Fight me like a man!"

A young woman about Kagome's age jumped down from the tree. "You know Prince Inuyasha you should be thanking me, not yelling at me." She through her sword to the ground along with a few daggers. "I'm not here to fight, if you would have leaped after Kagome you would have died. They were entering an unseen Gote." Inuyasha got a confused look and she knew she had to explain. "There are two emeralds, a light emerald and a dark emerald. The light emerald creates a hole that will take you directly to the darker emerald. If you enter the Gote without the light emerald you would die."

"Ok, so. Why isn't it just called hole? Why is it called Gote?" Inuyasha sat down on a tree stump, that was carelessly not uprooted. "Your new to this aren't you? Think about it, it's how the emerald works, it twists the places around. Hence the name Gote." Inuyasha stared at her with his mouth hanging wide open. "Gote means twist..."

"Ooh! Now I understand! So what happens if you try to open the Gote with the dark emerald?" Inuyasha stressed the word Gote. "Then you are sucked into the gem." She picked up her swords and daggers and offered Inuyasha a hand to stand up. "By the way, I'm Rin." Inuyasha took her hand and introduced himself. "You can called me Inuyasha though. So, Rin, how do you know so much about the Emeralds. "My father created them, He was the first person to be sucked into the Dark Emerald. That was 5 years ago, I've been searching for them ever since. If I can break the Dark Emerald I can free my father, but right now we need to concentrate on getting Kagome back."

"Pardon me, but how do you know Kagome?" Inuyasha looked up to the sky still expecting to see her. "She don't know it, but she is my sister. We share the same Father, Kagome's mother was supposed to tell her about me. Then they moved."





Kagome woke up to a dark dungeon, she felt chains around her wrists and ankles. Special sutra's had been placed on them blocking her miko energy from breaking them. She looked around the room she was in, it wasn't a dungeon, it was...a cellar? 'What am I doing in a cellar?' Loud booming footsteps came from outside the small door, a shadowy figure stepped into the room.

"Kouga..."
So, yes, Kagome has a sister. Lol I think I'm putting too much drama into this story. I seriously considered leaving out the Gote stuff, but I needed Rin in there somehow and I needed her to be in the castle... : D. Well, tell me what you think. OH YEA by the way I'm thinking that I might make this a Sess/Kag (Kagome) Tell me your thoughts on that too, please.
