Inuyasha reached the castle and looked around, "Huh? Where are all the guards?" Inuyasha had thought that Naraku would have surrounded himself with hundreds of minions, but there were none. "Huh...maybe this will be easier then I thought...huh? WHOA!" Inuyasha just managed to dodge a fier ball. "Ah, shit! That bastard! He has surrounded himself with guards! Everyone he's had killed that is...whoa! Tha...thats foxfire!" Inuyasha looked around, then his eyes came upon the young kitsune child.

"Shippo!" "You will die." "ARGH! Rotten son of a fucking bitch! Naraku! Get your ass out here and fight me yourself!" Inuyasha roared in anger.

"Why would i do such a silly thing? When it seems that my new minions wish to fight you themselves?" "Don't you dare fuck with me! You're controlling them!" "Am I? I didn't know I was." "What!" "Perhaps they've had enough of you and are angry at you for their early deaths? They seek revenge and your death." "GRRR! I'm not the one who killed them! You did it not me!" "Oh? What makes you say that? Did you not wake with the blood of your companions on your claws?" "I..." Inuyasha couldn't say anything, he had woken with their blood on his claws, that he knew for sure, he'd spent half a day trying to get the sent off his hands.

"They seek your death Inuyasha, so why not be a good friend...and let them kill you!" "Kagome..." "Hm?" "I'll only let Kagome kill me, not the others, so bring out Kagome." "Heh! Very well, I shall then I shall happily watch as this lovely woman...kills you, as Kikyo did years before." "Just send her out!" Inuyasha shouted and Shippo vanished and was replaced by Miroku.

"What!" "You'll have to locate where in my castle I have her hidden, while you do so, the monk shall attempt to kill you, perhaps he'll draw you into his void?" "ARGH! NARAKU!!" Inuyasha yelled as he tried to keep out of Miroku's sight. He was not about to let his friend suck him up with the windtunnel, there was no way he'd let that happen.

"Inuyasha..." "Huh! Shit...!" Inuyasha was backd into a corner. "Ah...look, you really have to wake up from this spell..." "Find her Inuyasha, only you can find her and only you can wake her." "Huh? You...you're not under his control?" "As a servant of Buddah, I am not that easy to control," "Okay...tell me...are you all really?" "Dead? No. Naraku created an illusion, so that you would think that we were, then he came and brought us here." "Well, at least you're all not really dead, thats a relief." "Indeed, it must be considering Naraku attempted to make you believe that you'd done away with us." "Ha...Um...so does that mean that..." "Yeah, no one involved in this ploy is dead." "Well, again, thats good." "You should go quickly, Naraku may try anything to make you loose control, and I mean anything." "Right...ah...let Koga and Sesshoumaru know whats going on if they come here." "Will do, good luck." "Thanks, I have a feeling I'm going to need it." Inuyasha left the monk and raced inside the castle, as Koga and Sesshoumaru reached the grounds where Miroku met them and explained everything.

"Kagome, just hold on. I'll be there as soon as I possibly can be." Inuyasha raced through the castle halls, searching each room for her, but found nothing, but rotting corpses. "Urgh, they've been dead long before now..." Due to the stench, Inuyasha once again was sick to his stomache.

After he recovered, Inuyasha continued his search for Kagome.
