Chapter 9:Confusion
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Bankotsu could hear the screams of the miko as Kagura flew off with her. Leaving him alone looking into the sky, hoping that he would see them. Nothing... He ran inside the cave and grabbed his banryuu. Bankotsu left the cave and ran in the direction that Kagura had went before they disappeared.
"Damn that wench for taking Kagome!"
The mercenary paced through the forest, he didn't stop until he saw InuYasha with his hands behind his head. Bankotsu didn't have time for the half demon at the moment, he tried to run around him but InuYasha was too quick. He jumped infront of Bankotsu and held out his tessuiga, pointing at Bankotsu's neck.
"Where are you off to in such a hurry?" Asked InuYasha.
"None of your damn business mutt!"
InuYasha charged at Bankotsu and tried to strike him. He managed to punch him in the shoulder. Bankotsu dodged the half demons attacks and tried once again to run around him.
InuYasha followed after him at full speed. The mercenary knew that he was behind him and ignored him, there was someone important he had to retrieve back...
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
"Where is Bankotsu going... and why isn't Kagome with him?" Thought InuYasha.
He was so deep in thought that he didn't notice that Bankotsu had stopped. InuYasha crashed into him and they both fell to the ground.
Bankotsu stood up and dusted himself off before yelling at InuYasha.
"Watch where your going InuTrasha and I thought I told you what I do is none of your business!"
"I don't care!" InuYasha retorted.
"Where is Kagome!"
Bankotsu turned around and crossed his arms around his chest. He wasn't going to tell InuYasha about what happened!
The half demon glared at Bankotsu and stomped his foot impatiently on the ground.
"I knew it!"
"Knew what?" Said Bankotsu.
InuYasha gave him a smirk. "Oh great... he figured it out!" Thought Bankotsu.
"She ran away from you!" Announced InuYasha.
Bankotsu fell to the floor and began to laugh... InuYasha stared at him like he was psycho...?
"She didn't leave me mutt... She got kidnapped..." He laughed and then stopped instantly after he heard what he had just blurted out.
InuYasha made a fist and held it up to Bankotsu's face. He swatted the hand away and pushed the half demon away.
He began to run again not even bothering to see if InuYasha was following.
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
"Let me go!" A raven haired girl shouted.
"Now why would I do that?" Said a deep voice.
Naraku stepped out from behind the sliding bamboo screen and walked towards Kagome. In hand he held rope, with an evil smirk playing across his face.
His red eyes glowing in the almost dark room. Kagome ran the other direction only to be caught by her replica. The fake grabbed Kagome by the wrist and pinned her to the floor. She screamed and tried to kick the human puppet off, she was too strong... By that time Naraku had already came over to them and tied her arms and legs with the rope.
Naraku pulled Kagome up by her hair and pulled her towards the hallway. The replica was following behind them, Naraku walked down long stairs and they were now in the basement chambers.
He threw Kagome into the room and shut the sliding screen door. She could hear their foot steps as they asended back upstairs. Kagome began to cry in the darkness, she heard a female voice speak...
"Be quiet! its bad enough that Naraku had me stay and watch you!"
"Whos there?" Sobbed Kagome, while looking around the dark room.
"Kagura!" She screamed.
"What is Naraku going to do!" Yelled Kagome.
"He wants to turn the half demon and the mercenary against you..." Kagura replied with a hint of annoyence.
Kagome tried to break free from the ropes, but they were tied too tightly. Her wrists and ankles felt like they were on fire because of the rope burn that she created by trying to break free.
Kagura chuckled at her attempt to rid herself of the ropes. Kagome just eyed her and gave up on trying to untie herself.
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Naraku and the fake Kagome made it upstairs and he explained the plan once more. Once he was finished the replics nodded in understanding and they both walked towards the front doors, Naraku pulled Kagome into an embrace and stroked her ebony hair.
"Now you smell like me... it will disguise your smell and InuYasha won't be able to tell if your fake or not..."
"I understand Master Naraku..." She replied.
Both of them walked outside and looked for any signs of the prey. Sure enough they heard two male voices and it seemed like they were in an argument... Naraku went behind a tree with Kagome, his hand now placed around her waist pulling her closer to him.
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
"YOU STUPID MUTT! GET AWAY FROM ME!" Shouted a very pissed off mercenary.
"WHY YOU... I'LL TEACH YOU NOT TO CALL ME THAT!" Screamed InuYasha.
"BASTARD!" Bankotsu yelled.
"TEME!" Shouted back the half demon.
"BASTARD!"
"TEME!"
"BASTARD!"
"TEME!"
"BASTARD!"
"TEME!"
"BASTARD!"
"TE..."
"Wait... that scent... Naraku is near!" Declared InuYasha.
"Your the dog... sniff him out!" Bankotsu said, grinning.
"Shaddup!"
InuYasha sniffed the air and then the ground, he pointed to the direction ahead of them and they darted in that direction.
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Naraku smirked and put the plan into action, he held Kagome and nuzzled her neck. Kagome stroked his long wavey hair and pulled him closer.
He then kissed her neck and worked his way up to her lips. He kissed her gently at first and then it got more passionate, slipping his tongue into her mouth and holding her waist.
InuYasha and Bankotsu were only a few feet away when the heard something behind a tree. Both ran to the source of the sound and the stopped dead in their tracks.
Bankotsu had his mouth wide open and InuYasha looked like his eyes were going to pop out of his sockets. Naraku smiled and slowly pulled away from the replica.
"What the hell is going on!" Shouted Bankostu.
"Get away from Kagome!" InuYasha stepped in.
Naraku laughed and pulled Kagome closer to him.
"She is mine now..." Calmly spoke Naraku.
"No she isn't!" Screamed Bankostu.
"Yes I am..."
InuYasha and Bankotsu stared at Kagome in disbelief.
"Kagome..." Started InuYasha.
"No! I'm happy with Naraku! and I am staying!" She screamed.
"Well I think Kagome has made it quite clear that she doesn't want anything to do with you two..." Said Naraku.
They both bagan to walk away and Bankostu took hold of Kagome's wrist. He stared at her eyes those chocolate brown eyes. That captured his heart the moment he looked into them. But something was different...
Kagome managed to take back her wrist and pushed Bankostu away, walking next to Naraku as they both disapeared into the purple misama.
InuYasha made a fist in the direction of where Naraku and Kagome once were.
"You traitor!" Shouted the half demon.
"Kagome... you wench!"
"Enough InuYasha..." Spoke Bankotsu.
"How can you be so calm... when Kagome just left you for Naraku!"
The mercenary smirked and narrowed his eyes at the half demon.
"He knows something I don't know..." Thought InuYasha.
"But what can it be?"
