Chapter 23

Kagome

"Kagome are you up?" came a man's voice.

she walked over to the door and opened it. there stood a man about his height with long black hair braided and a smile on his face. Inuyasha didn't like the looks of him. He stood up and was stretching when he heard the man say

"Kagome don't forget what today is we have to go see Kana today." he said.

Kagome just looked at him was it time for that again she couldn't remember. once a month she went but has it been a month already.

"Jakotsu are you sure. I see her once month correct?" she said questionably.

" Yes dear you do. it has been a month since you seen her." jakotsu told her.

"Alright I'll get ready will we be going to the same place or a new one." she asked. she didn't want to go back to the other place the last time she went there someone tried to blow her up that still bothered her.

"It's a new place not to far from here. I will see you in about twenty minutes so we can go we have a bit of a drive if we are going to make it on time." he told her l. He hadn't realized till now that there was some else in the room with her till Inuyasha moved in the corner of the room stretching.

"Where are my manners I'm jakotsu , and you are?." he said looking over at inuyasha.

"Inuyasha." was all he said to the man. He didn't like him something felt off about the man like he was up to something. and he wasn't sure what it was. Walking over to Kagome he said

" Give me about five minutes I will be ready and we can go." he told her he didn't say a word to jakotsu who acted as if he was going to argue with Inuyasha over him joining them.

she nodded head and told them she would meet them then and closed the door to get ready.

ten minutes later she was showered dressed and ready to go she headed down stairs hoping to get on the road so that she could get this over with. When she got down stairs she seen jakotsu waiting for her and continued over To him.

" I'm ready when you are. Are we waiting on Inuyasha?" she said

jakotsu stood there a moment and stated.

"Inuyasha had to take care of some things it's just me and you today my dear." jakotsu told her pushing her out the door.

He opened the door for her and let her in the suv and closed the door for her. As he walked around the other side and opened his door he notice a flick of silver through one of the Windows he hurried and got seated and put the vehicle in drive and sped away just as Inuyasha walked out the door.

Inuyasha stood there for a moment not knowing what to think as he watched the vehicle pull away. Did he take to long he was ready to go why would they leave without him that didn't make any sense at all to him. He stood there for a moment and seen that Hakkaku and Ginta where walking his way.

" your up early." Ginta said.

"I was sure after last night you would still be sleeping." said Hakaku yawning.

" I woke up when Kagome did. hey who is Kana and why does Kagome have to see her?" Inuyasha asked the pair of wolves.

"Kana is a shrink for the Fbi Kagome sees her once a month to see how she's handling things mentally. why do you ask?" said a puzzled Ginta.

"Well I'm asking because Jakotsu is taking her to see Kana and I was going to go but he drove off as soon as I walked out the door I figured one of you would be with them then." he told the wolves who looked at each other with unreadable looks on there face. Hakaku took out his phone and dialed a number he memorized.

"Yamanaka? sorry to wake you does Kagome see Kana today and who else does Jakotsu have with him to take her." he said into the phone he waited a few moments slammed the phone close and ran for a car.

" GET IN NOW!" He yelled at Ginta and Inuyasha.

The men ran over Inuyasha getting in the passenger seat and Ginta hopping in back before they could even get the doors close Hakaku had the car in drive and was taking off.

"Kagome doesn't see Kana today she was suppose to go in a week and if I'm not mistaken jakotsu is the only one in the vehicle besides Kagome. We never go anywhere with her without at least 4 other people with us this makes no sense and all." Hakaku told the men

Inuyasha let out a growl and punched the dash. he knew there was something off about that guy and now he knows he was after her all along. Why wasn't he there sooner to stop them from leavening why didn't he run after them.

"Don't take it out on the car you can help us kick his ass when we find them. He better have a good reason for doing this." Ginta said.

Kagome was quiet most of the ride she was getting bored just looking outta the window it seemed like they had been on the road for 2 hours already.

"Jakotsu how come there is no one with us are they following in another car?" she asked

"In a manner of speaking yes." he said vaguely not wanting to tip her off on what he had planned for her.

His phone rang and she didn't question him on his vagueness. That bothered her he never acted like that he was pretty straight forward with her.

jakotsu picked up his phone on the second ring.

"Yes." was all he said Kagome couldn't hear what the other person was saying but from the look on Jakotsu's face he didn't care for the person much.

" We are on our way we will arrive soon." he said and closed his phone.

Kagome assumed he was talking to Kanna by that point and decided that she didn't really want to know what was going on there. Kagome messed with the gold crescent moon necklace that she always wore and was holding it in her hand looking out the window when she realized that they here no longer in the city that they were in fact a good distance away. Jakotsu never slowed down he in fact was speeding up. driving faster down the road.

"Jakotsu where are we going I thought I was going to see kanna?" Kagome asked him he looked over at her and gave her a smile.

"Not today my dear I'm afraid I had to lie to you. You see in know a few people that have been looking for you and I'm tired... I'm tired of being a babysitter. You see once I hand you over I get my freedom back to do whatever i want again. You truly are a pain in my ass." he looked at her with a large grin.

she couldn't believe what she was hearing. Was he serious he had to be who would say something like that and not mean looked over at the speedometer he was doing 65 mph. she looked out the window to see what the surrounding looked like. As if reading her mind he hit her. She didn't have time to react she was stunned and then blackness filled her.

Damn where are they.' Inuyasha thought they hadn't left too long after jakotsu drove off why can't they find them. Where was he taking Kagome. Ginta called Yamanaka back and found out that the gp's in the suv that jakotsu was driving had been disabled. This was planned and he didn't like it. They had been driving for a while now the city was getting further and further behind them. Hakaku sped up to try and close the distance so that they could find them fast l. That's when the scent hit them. Blood Kagome's blood they were headed in the right direction after all.

jakotsu pov

His heart raced, his mind was scattered this was not what he planned. It wasn't supposed to be this way. He hadn't planned on the mutt going or even attempting to go. Everything was perfect they had managed to get another from his group in to take on the job of getting Kagome. Things just weren't going his way. He managed to get out of there before Inuyasha got outside he had a bit of a lead on them. Nobody would be the wiser. He knew Hakkaku and Ginta wouldn't be there yet that's why he got up so early. Why the hell was that mongrel in her room. He was positive he would get away with this no one the wiser. ThatThats when he saw the other vehicle.

He floored it he was now doing 80 mph and almost out the city. Once he got out of it he knew he could lose them he knew all the back roads. not to mention his destination was hidden from the world no one not even they could find them. He weaved in and out of traffic.

' Almost there.' He was losing them.

she was talking so much asking to many questions. She was catching on to his plan or at least not going to see that Damn shrink. Shit she's getting antsy, why is she looking out the window so much she's not going to do. Shit

He hit her over the head just as he ran off road into a heavily wooded area. Finally he was out the city headed to his hideout.

Hopefully he was far enough ahead that they didn't see him. Looking over at kagome he notice the blood trickling down her forehead. Shit he hit her a little to hard. Oh well. He was nearing the area when he seen a both vehicle and was happy to see Naraku there.

Kagome's pov

Her head throbbed, she could hear Whispers in the distance but didn't know who or where they are. Everything was black she couldn't see she tried to move and realized her arms and legs were bound tight she must have drew attention to herself next thing she knew she felt someone beside her.

"You are a very hard person to get a hold of." came the voice

she felt her heart sink and panic set in she couldn't breathe she felt overwhelmed and couldn't stop the tears that started flowing and then she heard another voice

'why was he here?' she thought

she felt a hand brush over her cheek,

" 'shhh.. it's okay Kagome don't cry I'll take care of you."came the voice again each time the vile man spoke she tried to move further away.

With her actions she felt the skin of her wrist tear. she knew the voice it haunted her and tormented her for years she tried to forget it. He hunted her killed her on the inside now here he was.

"I don't know what you want. They will find me Inuyasha hakkaku and Ginta will come for me." she told the people.

She felt someone grab her and yank her hair then light flooded her eyes it's done they had blindfolded her now that it was removed she could see faces there were people she didn't know but a few she recognized.

"Don't act so shocked Kagome you think I actually care what happened to you? You think I wanted to pretend to be a babysitter for you?"Jakotsu said smugly.

To his left there was a man with long black hair and violet eyes he actually seemed bored with this to his right she seen a face that shocked her to the core why him why was he here letting these people do this to her.

"Hojo?"she said

He looked at her and smile.

'My dear Kagome, god i pity you. I was hoping you wouldn't have to suffer for so long. You did this to yourself." said Hojo rubbing the side of her face.

She jerked her head away from look she gave him could be described as a death glare. mixed with too many emotions and the pounding of her head made her feel sick to her stomach.

"Why?" she whispered. She didn't know what made her ask but she needed to know why, why was this happening to her why can't she have a normal life.
"Why….. WHY!" Hojo yelled. "What you did to me when we was in school. Most importantly what your father did to my family. Your piece of shit father ruined my family." he screamed at her. she was shocked 'what my father did' she thought. that's when she seen his face distort and then felt his hand make contact with her cheek. knocking her to the floor.
She could taste the blood in her mouth from where he just split her lip wide open.
'why aren't they here yet where is hakkaku..where is Inuyasha. She was leaned over from the impact she noticed that her charm on her necklace was glowing it was red now. the gold had completely disappeared from it. ' if this necklace should ever glow red run your in danger' that's right the necklace glowed when she was in trouble. she's only known it to do that once and that was when the bomb went off.
she laid there for a moment thinking the assault was over she was wrong. she felt a boot connect with her back, then her ribs. then her head that was the last thing she remember she heard hojo screaming at her and he called her a bitch. After that she felt numb and a white light took over. then nothing.
"what the hell is that light?" screamed jakotsu.
Kagome was engulfed in a red and gold aura. No one understood what was happening, what was causing this.
"This is your fault?" Naraku calmly said to Hojo. "Had you not kicked her like that. With your temper tantrums we wouldn't be in this mess."
the light was growing and this became a concern for the group of troublemakers. Would it be seen from the outside.
