Last chapter:

"And what help will you be when you're dead?" Sesshomaru snapped at her, losing his cool for a moment. This just caused Sango to huff and walk away. Sesshomaru jumped into the black hole as well just as it was about to close, without him, the others had no way out.

Currently:

The stench of death made Inuyasha and Kouga start to become dizzy, Sesshomaru was barely better off than the two others. Kaugra noticed this and began to stir up the wind around the men, dispersing the scent. They all thanked her and she just nodded her understanding as they continued towards the center of Hell. The heat began to become too much for Kaugra and she suddenly felt a loose kimono top be flung on her shoulders, it was Inuyasha's, the robe of the fire rat, his father had given it to him years ago and it shielded her from the heat, he smirked slightly when she looked in his direction. The journey continued in silence, no one wanted to speak or had anything to say. When they finally reached the center they were all sweating profusely, and panting slightly, Kaugra continued her assault on the wind, which seemed to cool it some, but not enough, they had to get out, and fast, but they couldn't leave without getting their answers. They found a room at the very center and walked in unannounced.

"Hey! We need answers, and we need them now!" Inuyasha stated as he walked into the room. He turned around in his seat to face the group of demons. His face was contorted in an odd fashion, the horns on his head were short, curved, and very sharp. He had an odd little mustache that curled at the ends and a pointy goatee on his chin, other than that, he looked like a regular business man, especially when he sat behind his paper cluttered desk.

"And who let you in?"

"We did. Now we need those answers and we need them now."

"Why should I help you?"

"Because it's your damn creation we're after!"

"Ah, you seek Naraku?"

"Yes, we seek Naraku," Inuyasha mocked, "Now tell us where he is! He's taken Kagome!"

"Well good for him! I told him that was the only way to get back at that Inuyasha kid and his father. So he's finally going to kill the bitch…" Inuyasha charged at Him and held him up in the air by the neck, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, you have such a temper," He snapped his fingers and disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"Where'd you go you bastard?"

"Why thank you," He grinned as He tapped Inuyasha's shoulder from behind, "I guess I could help you a little with your little 'quest'. On one condition."

"Name it," Inuyasha growled.

"If you get there in time to save her life, I get yours."

"Deal!" Inuyasha yelled while shaking His hand.

"Inuyasha! What the fuck do you think you're doing?" Kouga yelled.

"Saving Kagome," Inuyasha stated as he was handed a slip of paper by Him and they were all sent back from where they came. Only Sesshomaru stayed back for a bit, he wouldn't let Him take his little brother's life.

IN THE NOT-SO-UNDERWORLD: (AN: so like the regular world :P)

CRASH , all four demons/hanyous fell from the sky and into the dumpsters behind the school. "DAMN IT!" Kouga yelled, "I just took a shower last week!" Both girls looked at him with disgust, while the guys, sans Inuyasha of course, looked at him with pity.

"That sucks man," Miroku stated.

"Miroku?"

"Yes my dear Sango?"

"How often do you bathe?"

"About once every other week, why?" (AN: hehe, EW!)

"No reason," Sango gagged a little, then whispered into his ear, "Just that if you EVER want to do anything with me ever again, you'll change that once every other week, to every other day in the least."

Miroku gulped, "Yes ma'am!"

"Can we get a move on already? We have to get to Kagome in time to save her!" Inuyasha called over his shoulder, already beginning to follow the map given to him by Him.

"Yes," Sesshomaru said, "Let us go."

"Do you really not care that if we find Kagome in time Inuyasha will die?" Kouga asked quietly.

"Say what?" Sango, who had been eves dropping, whispered frantically.

"In order to find out where Naraku was with Kagome, Inuyasha made a deal. If we find Kagome in time to save her life, He takes Inuyasha's," Kaugra explained.

"No he won't," Sesshomaru stated nonchalantly before catching up to Inuyasha with his demon speed.

"What did he mean? Did he find a loop hole?" Sango asked.

"I'm sure he has, Sesshomaru is a smart man," Miroku chimed in.

"Come on guys, we have to save Kagome!" Kouga yelled from ahead and everyone ran to catch up.

"So where are we headed Inuyasha?" Miroku inquired when he finally reached the hanyou.

"I'm not sure, the map just gives me one direction until I get to the point where it wants me to go, then gives me a new one." He said distantly, staring at the map with great intensity, Miroku was surprised it didn't spontaneously combust. The group continued in silence, following Inuyasha's every move. They were all so distracted that everyone, except for Sesshomaru, who was walking next to Inuyasha, ran into the hanyou when he stopped in front of an abandoned warehouse. "This is it, Kagome's in here. I can smell her." All three dog-like yokai took a big whiff of the air, they all could smell her in there, she was scared, terrified, but unharmed as far as they could tell. "We have to hurry," the three said in unison as they burst through the door and up the dusty wooden stairs that creaked with every step. Sango was the last of the group to go up the stairs and as she reached the final step, it gave out, sending the rest of the stairs crashing to the floor and Sango to almost go with them, had it not been for Miroku's quick reflexes.

"Maybe I should lay off the junk food," Sango laughed quietly, trying to ease her mind.

"I think you're perfect though," Miroku whispered in her ear, making her blush, before kissing her passionately and following the rest of the group around the upper level of the warehouse.

"She's in here," Inuyasha called, no use being quiet after what Sango just did. As he burst through the door an ear piercing scream rang through the dark room, he could smell it, blood, Kagome's blood. That bastard had been waiting for them to get there before he killed her. She was still alive though, there was no way he was going to let her die, he couldn't live without her, he had to see her one last time, he had to hold her warm body against his one last time, he had to feel her soft, gentle lips against his one last time…he had to tell her he loved her…one last time. "You bastard! Leave Kagome alone and fight someone your own size!"

"Ku ku ku Inuyasha, do you honestly think I'm that stupid? Against you I could surely win, but you have brought along friends, I watched them in battle. I may be strong, but I would not be able to take all of you on."

"We'll fight one on one then, just you against me."

"To the death?"

"To the death."

"Then let the battle begin," Naraku chuckled. He snapped his fingers and the lights turned on, they were in an arena, and everyone other than Inuyasha and Naraku were trapped in a clear, unbreakable, cage; Kagome, of course, was in her own, although hers was not nearly as strong as the one that held the others. She had a deep stab wound in her right leg and the blood had soaked through her jeans. The young girl screamed for Inuyasha, somehow, she knew Naraku would not play fair.

'Why did I save him? Why couldn't I just let him die? He's going to hurt Inuyasha! This is all my fault, I never should have gotten him involved, I'm such a wimp. I have to save him, but how?...'

"You'll pay for what you did to Kagome," Inuyasha growled as the two began to circle each other.

"I didn't do anything to her she didn't deserve, nothing she didn't want."

"BULLSHIT! You're a fucking liar, you beat her and I wouldn't be surprised if you raped her as well," the hanyou sneered.

"Oh yes, I remember those nights, although I wouldn't call it rape, she wanted it, why else would she disobey me?"

"She would never want something as despicable as you."

"I still remember the first time it happened, she was so young, 13 I believe… she had come home late,"

"Shut up," Inuyasha threatened when he saw the terrified look in Kagome's eyes. She could hear everything, and he didn't want her to be forced to remember that horrible night.

"First I beat her, yes, she was a little more submissive after that, all she did was yell and wriggle around a little."

"I said shut up," Inuyasha growled.

"I threw her against a wall to make her stop," Inuyasha cringed at the thought, he was going to kill Naraku,. The hanyou leapt at the elder one but when he was an inch away, he disappeared, reappearing closer to Kagome, "I began unzipping her pants and pulled them off slowly, by then I was so hard," Inuyasha lunged at him once again, this time the bastard appeared right behind him and whispered into his ear, "I just ripped the rest of he clothes off," lunge, dodge, lunge, dodge, Naraku spoke loudly now "then I proceeded to take off my own, I couldn't wait any longer you see. The only thing that was wrong was those repulsive bruises that covered her body. They were sickening."

"Well you should know, you put them there you damn bastard!" Inuyasha yelled, while lunging at him once again, and once again, Naraku dodged the attack.

"Hm, I suppose I did. I do good work, aye?"

"INUYASHA!!" Sango screamed, although the thick glass muffled her yells for help. Inuyasha's super sensitive ears picked up on the sound and he quickly turned his head in the direction it came from, giving Naraku an open shot to the back of his head. The Inu-hanyou was knocked face first onto the ground, but her did not care, he wanted to know what was wrong with his friends. When he looked up he saw it, gremlins from the underworld were beginning to pull Sesshomaru's unconscious body down with them, Miroku was trying his best to destroy the creatures with his sacred scrolls, but since he was a lecher, they weren't very strong. Inuyasha struggled to his feet, that blow to the head was hard, and as soon as he got to his feet, another one crashed down upon him. This continued as Inuyasha inched his way towards his brother, Miroku was able to paralyze the gremlins, but no one knew how long it would last. CRASH at the distracting sound Inuyasha made a run for his brother, crashing through their cage, with a little help from those inside. He pulled his brother out of the arms of the gremlin and turned to see what had happened. There stood his beloved Kagome, blood dripping down from the stab wound in here leg. Her eyes held so much rage they seemed to be on fire, and all this was directed at one person, Naraku.

"How dare you," she seethed, just above a whisper, "HOW DARE YOU TOUCH A SINGLE HAIR ON HIS HEAD!" she screamed at the top of her lungs now, shaking with anger. This made Naraku cower a little inside, although he was careful not to show it. Inuyasha, still amazed, dropped Sesshomaru and took advantage of Naraku's distraction by giving him a sharp blow to the back of his head with the tip of his elbow. As Naraku rounded on the hanyou he felt a swift kick to his ribs by Kagome, whom he punched in the face. As he attacked her Kagome kneed him in the ball sack, causing him to hunch over in pain, his anger clouded his thoughts, and he forgot he could teleport away at any moment, this was to Kagome's advantage. Inuyasha had taken a step back, Kagome needed to fight this battle on her own, but he was there in case she got into some real trouble, and the rest of the group was there too. They fought hand to hand for what seemed like hours to the pair, although it had only been about 10 minutes, Naraku had never had someone put up such a fight and was beginning to tire; Kagome, on the other hand, was just getting started. When she finally had him down on the ground, incapable of putting up a fight, she left him, she could not kill him, she would not.

"Kagome? What are you doing you little bitch? Finish me off! Stop being such a coward!" Naraku screamed, but it sounded more like a plead than a command. He wanted to die, but she still could not bring herself to do it. "Please," he stated quietly, "baby, it's daddy honey, please kill me. I don't want to hurt you or your friends anymore baby. Please, I hate this monster I have become," he was begging her now, she could not stand to hear it any longer, but she could not kill him, he was her father. She walked silently over to Sango, unsheathed her wakizashi, and threw it toward the pathetic man. The only sound in the room was that of metal scraping against hard concrete until it finally stopped, inched from his face. The man graciously took it and plunged the sword deep into his heart, his breath cut short and a THUD resounded in the room. Tears began to well up into the young girl's eyes and she ran out of the warehouse, she didn't know where she was going, and she didn't know why, she just knew she had to go, so she did. Inuyasha began to follow after her, but was held back by Miroku, the look in his eyes told him that Kagome needed to be alone right now, he knew he would tell him when the right time to run after was, Miroku was always good at that kind of stuff. In the meantime, Inuyasha picked up his brother and as he was walking to his car, called the police to pick up the body, he would make the funeral arrangements so Kagome wouldn't have to. Inuyasha still didn't understand why he was not brought to hell, and why the gremlins had attacked Sesshomaru, maybe they thought it was him…
