Shippou played with his small fox toys while Kagome read. Sesshoumaru dismissed himself from breakfast earlier, and hasn't returned, dinner was long over, and Kagome was slightly worried.
'Why should I worry?' She thought to herself. She was confident in Sesshoumaru's ability to take care of himself. He was powerful, and intimidating, she doubted he would ever land himself into some sort of trouble. She sighed and looked out the window, a small crescent moon marked the near beginning of a new moon cycle. Her mind trailed to Inuyasha.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inuyasha raced through the forestry. He couldn't help but think about Kagome, Sesshoumaru, even Shippou. 'Kagome is mine... Shippou is mine... MINE' . He let out a feral growl leaping from side to side, he felt himself weakening, as the moon grew smaller, he wasn't going to give up. He could never give up.
He smelled the scent of Sesshoumaru, everywhere. He must be close, his snarled and pushed himself harder, not afraid of tiring, nor injury, he needed her back.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sesshoumaru walked around, bored. He loathed the rain, it tended to water down his scent, and he liked having everything near smelling like him, he dragged his poison claws down another tree, killing it before thinking about Kagome and the kitsune, Shippou.
Two scents rushed to his nose at once, annoyed, Sesshoumaru hastily left, Jakken looked on in confusion.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Fox fire!" an overly ambitious voice reached his ears, along with the sight of blue flames, an arrow shot through the air, as the shouts and grunts of guards violated his eardrums. A red and white streak burst through the small clearing, over the rubble, grabbing Kagome just in time.
"Inuyasha." Kagome said more shocked than thankful, he'd have to change that. He looked at the palace that he never set foot in before, and entire wing was torn to shreds by Kagura.
Unsheathing the Tetseigia, Inuyasha rushed forward, leaping over youkai guards, his ignoring medial minions, his true target in sight.
"Backlas--" he was cut short and knocked away.
"Dragon Strike!" a elegant, swift, and angry Sesshoumaru released his fury at Kagura, who narrowly dodge the offensive attack.
A very frustrated Inuyasha was ready to dig his Tetseigia into his brother, who ignored him and continued one move right after the other, in incredible speed. Where was this intensity when he battled Sesshoumaru?
Kagura, mildly abused, was becoming flustered with Sesshoumaru. Lifting her fan only able to deflect certain attacks. She chuckled, soon Sesshoumaru will be defenseless, with his little Kagome in their hands. Lost in her thoughts, she screamed, Sesshoumaru withdrew his glowing, now bloody hand from her abdomen.
Pulling out a feather and throwing it to the air, she took flight, hundreds of demons honed in on Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru. She chuckled, waiting to hear the miko's blood curling scream.
Almost on cue, Kagome screamed, Shippou frantically tried to fight off tentacles. To his dissatisfaction, he failed, and was knocked away.
"Sesshoumaru! Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed as the Naraku clone leaked out a poisonous miasma. She felt her arm being grabbed and looked up praying to meet the wonderful golden hues that belonged to Sesshoumaru, only to meet beady blood eyes of Kagura.
"Dragon Strike!" Sesshoumaru screamed, a pure rage almost engulfed him, but he kept his composeur. The Naraku clone was eliminated in one blow, but Kagome was in Kagura's clutches.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha screamed, racing after her scent. Sesshoumaru followed Inuyasha for a brief moment before kicking him in the shin.
"Learn your place, half-breed." Sesshoumaru bit out bitterly as Inuyasha face planted the ground.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kagome coughed, and gasped. The thick miasma around the hut they had entered was slowly burning her body from the inside out. Her legs burned, and itched, her eyes felt like they turned into fire balls, she closed her eyes and held her breath, not for long, she inhaled and regretted it.
"Pathetic..." Kagura's unsympathetic voice came from behind her, the area started to clear and Kagome gasped and breathed in the now clean air, such a simple pleasure she wasn't willing to give up just yet.
"Wher..." Kagome started just to be interrupted and thrown against the nearest wall. Ouch, She thought, as things went dark, she opened her eyes and everything around was blurry, she was being carried, she looked up and groaned from the pain.
Thud.
Yet again, she was being treated like a rag doll. She was becoming frustrated, her aura flared, and she heard Naraku's amused chuckle. She swayed side to side and tried to stand, but her already blurry eyesight turned worse as the dark room they were in started to spin and she collapsed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Deja Vu. It wasn't entertaining, not to this Sesshoumaru, he briskly walked through the halls, offing random remedial demons that came his way. He trailed down the bootleg stairs made at the rear of the hut, it was dark, and it was cold. The murkyness of the area made his wrinkle his nose in disgust.
He sensed Inuyasha trailing behind him, he disliked the hanyou, and he still insisted to follow him, but he obliged, he only cared about getting to Kagome, eliminating Naraku and Kagura, and continuing his life, without interruption like this again.
Inuyasha was weak, he felt himself tiring, and he felt almost out of breath, the sun was setting and he could feel the demon in him leaving. He hoped they'd find Kagome soon, he hoped Sesshoumaru would lead them to the accurate place, because he senses finally left him.
They reached the bottom of the stairs, certainly being so far underground with a man-made tunnel couldn't be safe. He was thinking like a human now, wonderful. He jogged to keep up with Sesshoumaru now, who seemed to start walking amazingly faster.
Inuyasha felt a burning sensation wash over his body, followed by a shot of cold, he shot out a stream of curses and tripped over his own feet, falling to the ground. He looked at his hands, they were clawless, he touched the side of his head to have an ear meet his fingers. He groaned.
In that moment he looked up to see Sesshoumaru was gone. He must've been down for awhile, he quickly but blindly ran off into the direction he assumed to be correct.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kagome coughed, Naraku watched her, she was strong, she had been slammed against a wall, thrown on the floor, stepped on several times, stuck in a miasma, and given little oxygen by being underground. He shrugged it off and waited, he had the advantage, he would get shards, and death to those who got in his way.
