Disclaimer: Nope, I still do not own Inuyasha. Sigh Please read and Review!
Sorry, that I have not been updating recently. It is just that I have had a lot of homework lately, not to mention the WASL.
Inuyasha had lost track of how long he had been running through the thick never-ending woods. He could only hear his own footsteps on the forest floor and Sango and Miroku following behind him.
"Inuyasha, I think we're lost." Miroku said panting heavily. "I swear we past by this river about three times already!" Miroku said with a hint of concern in his voice.
"Don't be stupid, we are not lost Miroku." "I can still smell Kagome's blood and her scent." Inuyasha said with confidence in his voice.
The truth was that he now could barely smell Kagome's scent and or blood because it had rained a couple nights ago and her scent had mostly vanished. Nevertheless, he could still smell her faint scent of blood.
Even thought Miroku might be right that they were lost, he would not want Miroku or Sango to know that they might be lost; fearing that they would lose confidence in him.
"Inuyasha, can we please stop and rest for a couple minutes or hours?" Sango asked with a hint of fear in her voice afraid that Inuyasha might lash out at her for asking such a stupid question.
Nevertheless, to her amazement Inuyasha had agreed to take a little rest. Therefore, the gang set up camp and they rested.
The three of them sat there quietly by the fire; eating their dinner, regretting every single minute that they take to rest instead of searching for their dear friend. One thing that they did not know was that Kagome is perfectly safe for now.
Meanwhile, Kagome was at Naraku's castle with Kanna.
"Master, Kagome still has not woken up yet. What do you want to do with her?" Kanna asked
"Do not do anything to her, leave her there and we will wait until she wakes up and then we will think of what to do with her." Naraku said. Another day came and Kagome still has not woken up so Naraku went to go check on her.
When he entered the bedchamber, she was sleeping peacefully not moving an inch. As he approached closer towards the young girl, he realized that she had the most beautiful features any woman could ever have.
He admired her sleeping face and that lock of raven hair lying across her face as she slept. He wanted so much to reach towards her face and move the lock of hair away from her beautiful face but hesitated, afraid that she would be stirred awake.
"What am I thinking?" Naraku thought, "Could I have possibly fallen in love with this girl?" Naraku thought trying to shake the thought away. He immediately fled from the room rushing outside to the courtyard breathing heavily, trying to get his thoughts straight.
"I-I couldn't have fallen in love with this girl!" Naraku muttered to himself. "Everything was going just as I planned until this!" Naraku whispered. He was so caught up in his thoughts he did not notice Kanna coming towards him.
"Master, is everything all right?" Kanna asked
"Does it look like everything is all right?" Naraku screamed
"I'm sorry Master, I was jus-. Kanna was about to finish her sentence but Naraku interrupted her.
"Why do you always ask unnecessary questions that does not involve you?!" Naraku screamed. With that, Naraku stormed back into his castle and into his bedroom where no one can bother him leaving Kanna on the floor outside in tears.
He hungered for Kagome's presence and her beautiful face but instead he used his powers to make Kagome's scent stronger and suddenly the whole castle filled with her scent.
Inuyasha, Miroku, and Sango had started traveling once again at dawn. However, something was different this time. Once they started traveling, Inuyasha's nose was immediately filled with a familiar scent. It was Kagome's scent.
"Hey, you guys Kagome's scent is even stronger now she must be somewhere close." Inuyasha stated. "C'mon guys we have to get to Kagome fast!" Inuyasha said speeding up with Miroku and Sango behind him.
"Master, Kanna said. Naraku had finally calmed down and was sitting on a chair resting.
"What is it Kanna?" Naraku asked
"Inuyasha and his pesky little friends are coming, they should be here soon." Kanna said showing him her mirror. Naraku looked inside and the reflection of the mirror showed Inuyasha and his friends coming towards them at a fast pace.
"Do you have a plan Master?" Kanna asked worriedly.
"Yes I have a plan." "We are going to use my magic and make a puppet and I will take a strand of my hair and place it in the puppet. Then the puppet will look exactly like me." Naraku stated.
"After that, we take my puppet and let it go into the woods with Kagome as a hostage. Inuyasha will think the puppet is really me but it really isn't me and he will most likely try to rescue Kagome." Naraku said
"Are you sure you want that puppet of yours to take Kagome as a hostage?" Kanna said, "I mean what if Inuyasha defeats your puppet and gets Kagome?" Kanna asked
"Then he can have her." Naraku said calmly
"What?" Kanna said
"I haven't thought of anything that I would want to do to her yet." "This will give me more time to think about ways to kill Kagome and her pesky little friends." Naraku said.
Therefore, Naraku went with his plan, summoned a little puppet, plucked out a strand of his hair, and placed it into the doll and suddenly the doll came to life.
"Wow, Master you are a genius!" Kanna said evilly
"Kanna, wait here and I will go get Kagome." Naraku said. "In the mean time go get some tape and rope so we can tie her up. Naraku said.
Kanna might have imagined it but she swore that she saw a hint of sadness in Naraku's eyes when he told her to go get some tape and rope so that she could tie up Kagome.
Naraku slowly went to the bedchamber where Kagome is sleeping, muttering to him that this is not how things are suppose to be. However, he cannot keep her here in his presence any longer afraid that someone might discover his true feelings for the girl. The girl that he has to kill eventually.
He entered the bedchamber where Kagome laid asleep supposedly, but to his amazement, Kagome was not asleep. In fact, she was wide-awake. She had a confused look on her face. Of course, she would be confused though, after being knocked unconscious and dragged to an unfamiliar place. She was so busy looking at the scenery around her she did not even notice Naraku walking in the room.
"I see you are finally awake." Naraku said sneering.
"Where I am I?" "Who are you?" Kagome said quietly.
"You are at my castle and I am Naraku." Naraku said
"That guy is Naraku?" Oh man he is going to kill me!" Kagome thought frantically. She quickly brushed that thought off her mind when she realized that Inuyasha and the others were nowhere in sight.
"Where are Inuyasha and the others?" Kagome asked frustrated.
"Heh, you shall be seeing your precious friends soon. Naraku chuckled. With that he then grabbed her, held her bridal style, and walked out of the room ignoring everything Kagome said to him.
"What do you want with me?" Kagome said when Naraku finally set her down on the floor near Kanna.
"Why would you want to know?", "Even if you did know what we are going to do with you, it's not like you can do anything about it." Kanna sneered with a confident look on her face.
"Kanna stop talking and tie her up now!" Naraku demanded.
"Yes, Master." Kanna said slyly. When Kanna finished tying up Kagome, Naraku swept Kagome off her feet.
"Kanna where is my puppet?" Naraku asked
"I have already sent him to find Inuyasha. Kanna said uneasily. To her amazement, Naraku did not even lash out at her.
"Kanna I will be back shortly." Naraku said
"Yes, Master." Kanna said obediently. With that, Naraku picked up Kagome and set off into the woods.
Meanwhile, Inuyasha and the gang were still running through the never-ending woods they did not stop until Inuyasha skirted to a halting stop.
"What's wrong, Inuyasha?" Sango asked
"Can't you guys smell that disgusting scent?" Inuyasha asked furiously.
"No, but I can sense something with a very evil aura coming towards us." Miroku and Sango said in unison.
Meanwhile, Naraku caught up with the puppet and gave him Kagome and then he left back to his castle. Inuyasha caught the scent of Kagome and sped faster with Sango and Miroku right behind him. Finally, they came to a halting stop, they were facing "Naraku", and he was holding Kagome.
"Naraku!" Inuyasha said. Give us back Kagome! Inuyasha said furiously
"If you want her back, you are going to have to fight me." Naraku said.
"Keh, fine!" Inuyasha said drawing out his sword. "Sango, Miroku while I fight him go get Kagome and make sure she is ok." Inuyasha stated.
"Right!" Sango and Miroku said in unison.
Before Inuyasha came at Naraku, he knocked Kagome unconscious so she will not tell them that he is just a puppet and the real Naraku is at the castle.
"Damn you Naraku, don't you ever touch Kagome again!" Inuyasha screamed and with that, he used the wind scar. However, Naraku dodged it and sent a bundle of poison vapors towards Inuyasha.
"Miroku, Sango cough hurry up and get Kagome out of here NOW before you guys all get poisoned!" Inuyasha said. Therefore, Sango and Miroku got Kagome and went behind some bushes.
"Miroku, I thought it would be more of a challenge when we got Kagome away from Naraku but it was easy, all we had to do was grab her and run." I wonder why.
Meanwhile, Inuyasha blasted the wind scar again and it hit Naraku right on the spot. Naraku just disappeared, so Inuyasha called out to Miroku and Sango and they came out from behind the bushes with Kagome in their arms.
"How's Kagome?" Inuyasha asked looking at her.
"She should be fine." "We should just let her regain consciousness." Let her rest." Sango said
"Ok. Let's set up camp here then." Inuyasha said.
