~~~Chapter 4~~~

Crashing into the boulder, Youko stood up again, and chased after her. He seemed to be doing that a lot lately. He would not lose her so easily. He caught up with her and tackled her to the ground, pinning her arms to her side and looking into her tear-stained face. "Why are you running away? I said I would protect you!" He half asked, half yelled.

"Why don't you understand? I want to be my own person, not owned by someone. All I want to do is be myself!" She struggled to get free. "Let me go!" she grunted.

Her fire had reignited, but Youko did not care. He stood up from the ground, dragging her up with him. Kagome looked at him coldly, and continued yelling and pushing, but Youko paid her no attention. He simply bent down and lifted her onto his shoulder like his kill being brought back to camp. Kagome immediately stiffened, and then redoubled her efforts in getting free. "JUST LET ME GO! PLEASE! I don't belong here!"

He rolled his eyes, "Didn't I tell you, you're mine now? You belong WITH ME." He began to walk away from the well, and Kagome could see her freedom slipping further and further away. Gradually, he picked up his pace and was running towards the forest at an incredible rate. Kagome continued to struggle, but with his constantly increasing speed, she could barely keep balance! She tried to look at where they were headed, but everything was passing by so quickly she had lost track. The only thing she knew was that if she couldn't get free soon, she would have no idea how to get back. She had to do something! She looked down at her predicament, and at his arm wrapping her legs to his chest. She pushed herself up from her dangling position to a semi-upright stance. She tried to reach around and grab at his arm but every attempt was foiled by a sudden jerk in his shoulders. Goddamnit. Her physical strength was useless. She needed her miko powers.

Once more, she closed her eyes, concentrating on the power somewhere deep inside of her. She begged Kami, and grasped at any energy she could find. She pressed both hands against his back, and pushed with all her might.

The pink light did not come. Only darkness.

Kagome groggily awoke to find herself lying on her side, on a very comfortable mattress. She thought of rubbing the sleep from her eyes, but decided against it, and went back into her slumber. Her mom would come get her later. Her mother would always barge in through the door to tell her she was going to be late for school for the hundredth time.

After what seemed like hours, no one had not come. Where was she? Kagome opened her eyes fully, only to find out she was not on her bed with her pink polka-dotted comforter. She was not even in a house! Her eyes had focused quickly and easily adjusted to the dark. Her vision was fantastic in the dark! She stayed as still as possible to avoid being discovered and quickly took in her surroundings. From her observations of the non-refined and solid rock walls, she could tell they were in some sort of cave. She could also hear running water, maybe there was a spring nearby? The room itself was full of priceless antiques, paintings, and expensive cloth, and no soul in sight.

She stealthily rose from the futon, trying to avoid making any sudden movements or noise. But just as she began to lift her body from the futon, she felt something around her hips. It clung to her and would not budge. Slowly, she looked over her shoulder and saw her kidnapper. Her eyes were as big as saucers. 'What in the world am I doing in bed with him? OK, OK. Calm down, Kagome. He's asleep. You can sneak away.' But as soon as the thought crossed her mind, amber eyes stared up at her. "So I see you're finally awake, Kagome, or should I say future mate?" he said with his golden eyes glowing in the darkness. Kagome struggled again, trying to get out from under the blanket with the perverted fox inside. His arm was like steel! This was definitely too close for comfort and she needed out, NOW.

He looked at her, amused. He lifted his arm and watched her scurry to her feet in the blink of an eye. Immediately, she went for the door, which was unfortunately, or fortunately for the fox, locked. Kagome abruptly turned around and leaned against the door for support. 'I'm stuck in a room with a demon who wants me as his mate. What am I supposed to do now?' The fox broke the silence, "Don't worry, I'm not going to bite," he said with a sly grin. They stared at each other a bit longer. "But seriously, I only locked the door to prevent people from coming in, not you from going out."

"Oh really?" Kagome asked disbelievingly, "Then would you care to explain why?"

"Certainly," he responded, standing up from the floor, "My name is Youko Kurama," he bowed slightly, "and I am the leader of a group of thieves- who are outside. They wouldn't think twice about taking you." His eyes trailed her body, from head to toe, "Look at you. Even though you're a hanyou, you're beautiful. My men would fight over you until no one was left standing. I wouldn't want that, now would I? If that happened, I wouldn't have a clan." Kagome crinkled her nose at the way he said "hanyou", but then quickly blushed a deep red. She looked downwards. Thank Kami she could hide in the darkness.

While she was preoccupied looking at the floor, Youko had suddenly appeared directly in front of her. "I hope you like it here. You are going to stay here for quite a long time, so you should make yourself comfortable." Kagome's eyes began to turn red, rage building up in her. "How many times do I have to tell you! I am not yours and never will be!" Youko only smirked and said, "Trust me. You will." He quickly kissed her on her lips, and in her moment of surprise, he unlocked the door to slip outside. Not until she heard the lock click did she realize she had just been had.
