Just a disclaimer I do not own any of the Inuyasha plots or characters but I do own my own plot twists and characters, my OC's are; Mira. Enjoy

Chapter 16: Working out Naraku

Kikyo's view:

"I will have thought of something to do with Kagome and Mira once I get back from 'my basement' until then nothing is to be done if Kagura has gone out get her back and make sure she doesn't leave she has an act for betraying me to get her freedom" Naraku said "Of course my love" I said. I walked Naraku out and to 'the basement' he had not kissed or embraced me once, I wonder if he is tense about those misfits finding us, maybe I can conjure up something to distract them from their task of rescuing Kagome and Mira. I walked around the empty halls of the castle looking for Kanna, I had come to the front doors of the castle to find her looking out "Kanna" I said she turned and looked at me "Kagura has gone out" Kanna said "Get her back Naraku does not want her out plotting against him" I said. Kagura is going to be a problem but if she has been plotting against Naraku then why doesn't he crush her heart? Or maybe he has something planned for her as well, is Naraku not telling me something "Kanna I'll be in my room make sure you keep a close eye on Kagura" I said and walked off to my room.

Kagome's view:

Mira and I had talked of plans but they all seemed impossible to accomplish, I sighed heavily as I sat down against the cell bars and leaned my head back, I hope Koga is ok I know how angry he was when he's comrades were slaughtered. I just hope he is thinking things through rather than charging in this time, I frowned I was happy with Koga my friends even though I didn't have grandpa, mom and Sota I felt safe and happy like I belonged there. The well should let me through Kikyo and I are both priestesses so if she put a barrier around it I can break through it maybe that's wait I have to do with these cell doors I stood up "Mira do you think it's possible if I used my priestess powers on the door?" I asked. "Kagome the cells drain power you won't be able to it will just make you weak faster" Mira said "But a priestess's power is meant to be pure and strong so if just pray enough it may work, don't you think it's worth a try?" I said Mira sighed as she hoped up "You can try but I doubt you can unlock it" Mira said.

Kohaku's view:

I had gone to check where everyone was, I overheard Kikyo talking with Kanna, Kagura was out for the moment but was being summoned back, Kikyo was going to her room and Naraku was in the basement, I walked off towards where the cells were. Kanna is going to be the hard one to get past since she sees all I got to the door and went in and locked it behind me I saw Kagome trying to use her priestess powers on her cell door "Don't do that please" I said as I came over. "Kohaku what are you doing here?" Kagome asked "I want to help I know a way out" I said as I unlocked Mira's door "I figured I'm gonna die I may as well do something good" I said and went to Kagome's cell door and unlocked that as Mira walked out. "Kohaku come with us please I know Sango would love to see you again" Kagome said as I unlocked her door I looked away "I can't the jewel has to be complete and that means taking my shard away, I'll go back to being dead" I said "Maybe I can purify the shard without removing it then you won't be under Naraku's control and we can find a way" Kagome said.

"Guys let's go and talk on the way the longer we chat here the sooner Naraku will know what's going on" Mira said "This way quick" I said and ran off they followed I lead them to a hatch door big enough for us to crawl through it lead outside to the side of the castle. Kagome came over to me and hugged me I felt her hands over the spot where my shard is, I felt a strange sensation and felt better in a way Kagome separated from me "Now you have to come with us" Kagome said she had freed me from Naraku. I felt tears building I smiled slightly and gave a nod Mira went first then Kagome I was last, we reached the outside of the castle "If we go this way we'll reach the eastern mountains quicker" I said "Let's go" Mira said we ran off towards the forest and kept running. "Do you think everyone would have come this way?" Mira asked "No Naraku wanted us to detour them from the direction of where the castle is" I said "He hasn't planned anything to hurt them has he?" Kagome asked "Not that I know of" Kohaku said.

Kagome's view:

I clenched my teeth together and frowned I'm coming home to you Koga just don't do anything reckless we'll be together soon, we had run for what felt like hours I puffed as I tried to keep up "I have to rest" I said out of breathe as I slowed to a stop. I leaned against a nearby tree as I tried to catch my breath "Kagome we can't stop Naraku may know that we've gone by now we have to keep moving" Mira said I gave a nod "Ok… Let's go" I said and started running again, I didn't feel scared of being hunted by Naraku. I wasn't scared of him hurting me but I was scared of him hurting my friends and my new family I had become a part of, my legs felt like they were on fire and my chest felt tight, Mira was right though I couldn't stop I had to keep going. If Naraku caught us now Kohaku helping us to be free was for nothing, I'm sure he would have known about Kohaku being free from his control by now, it was only us three until we could get to everyone else.

Shippo's view:

Miroku and Sango were still trying to stop Koga and Inuyasha from arguing while Hakkaku and Ginta sat down for a break they were worried about Kagome and when we'd find them I looked to Kirara she gave me a nudge and sad look. I frowned someone has to find Kagome and plans would be good but we should find where she is first "Kirara I need you to cover for me, I'm going to go find where Kagome's being held" I said Kirara gave me a look "I know it's dangerous but we have to find her then we can work out a plan to rescue her" I said. Kirara gave a nod "Thanks Kirara I'll be careful and be back in no time you'll see" I said I quickly ran off and went to see if I could back track our steps, if Kagura was taking Kagome and Mira to Naraku maybe he'd expect us to follow Kagura we could be headed into a trap or it could have been a diversion from us finding where he really is. I kept running as fast as I could I'm coming Kagome and Mira just hold on I'll find you, I just hope I can Kagome and Mira before everyone finds out I've left to find Kagome and Mira on my own, I just have to believe I can do this that I can find them.

Mira's view:

We were far enough away from Naraku's castle but we still had a long way to go to reach Koga's territory as soon as we reach his pack they can call Koga back to say that were ok, if I called out Kikyo would surely know, Kohaku is free but I still have this enchanted necklace. "Wait guys" I said and stopped, Kohaku and Kagome stopped after me "Finally… A break" Kagome puffed "Guys I still have this necklace on me Kikyo still has some form of leverage besides they do still have my family and friends their I should go back" I said. "What?! No you can't!" Kagome exclaimed "Naraku doesn't have them at the castle from what I heard he moved them before we went to get you guys, I think he said he moved them to a cave to the north of the castle" Kohaku said my family and friends are not in the castle "Do you any more about the cave?" I asked. Kohaku shook his head "I didn't go I stayed back at the castle with Naraku and Kanna" Kohaku said I frowned and looked to the ground "Mira let's go get them and then we can go and find the others" Kagome said "But what about Koga? Your friends? And Kohaku's sister Sango?" I said Kagome smiled.

"They're free and safe let's get your family and friends freed and then go and find our family and friends" Kagome said Kohaku gave a nod "I don't know how much I can do but I'll help the best I can" Kohaku said I felt tears build up "Thanks" I said. "Come on let's go we have to go this way right so we better get going there maybe heaps of caves it'll most likely be under a barrier" Kagome said and started walking Kohaku and I walked by her "Will you be able to break through it?" Kohaku asked. "I think so but we have to pick up some weapons on the way, we may run into bandits or demons on the way" Kagome said "Kohaku and I should be fine but if we can find you a bow and some arrows we may have more chance of defeating some of the more difficult things they may stand in our way" I said. We walked in search of a cave and a bow and a quiver of arrows for Kagome, it surprised me that Naraku hadn't sent anyone to come after us "I don't like this" I said "Mira? What's wrong?" Kagome asked "Naraku should have sent someone after us by now so why hasn't he?" I said "I think I might know" Kohaku said.

Kagome's view:

"Is he plotting something?" I asked "He might be but I saw Hiten and Manten get sent down to the basement" Kohaku said "The basement… You mean he's going to devour them like he did to that woman the one that had the ability to heal incredibly fast?" Mira said. "Yeah I think so" Kohaku said "What? Wait are you telling me that Naraku is going to eat Manten and Hiten?" I questioned "Well eats a word for it I guess, their already dead so he's going to devour their powers" Mira replied. "Oh great… Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse" I muttered "Kagome the woman he got not long ago, she was a villager living a normal life until Naraku found out that she could heal herself and fast too" Mira explained "So what he's immune to our attacks now?" I asked. "Kagura did her dance of blades on Naraku and he healed quickly and acted like nothing had happened he didn't move or even flinch" Kohaku said in distress I sighed "This is going to be one long battle…" I murmured though it made me think about what would happen now that Naraku had grown in power.

Sango's view:

"Mutt I'm just as upset and angry about this as you are but we should be out there looking for them you've had enough time to talk!" Koga growled "Idiot! You go out without thinking and you'll get killed!" Inuyasha growled "Why don't you say that to yourself instead! How many times have you done that?!" Koga snapped. "Guys stop this is not benefiting us or Kagome and Mira" Miroku said "Stay out of this Miroku" Inuyasha said "Miroku I think we should just leave them we've tried for ages to get them to stop" I said "If we don't separate them then Kagome and Mira maybe talking with Naraku right now" Miroku said. I gave a nod "I'll be back" I said I went to go check on Shippo I looked at Kirara but Shippo wasn't with Kirara I looked to Ginta and Hakkaku and he wasn't there either "Ginta Hakkaku have you seen Shippo?" I asked they shook their heads "Oh no… Guys! Shippo's run off!" I yelled. Inuyasha and Koga stopped arguing and they looked around "Why that little… He should know better than to run off" Inuyasha growled "Shut up we have to get Shippo then we can go after Kagome and Mira" Koga said then sniffed the air "This way" Koga said and ran off we followed him.
