A/n: Omg I UPDATED! Yay! But I have an excuse for not updating in like forever, and that if that I sewed my finger though the sewing machine. No worries I'm fine and it only went though my nail and to the tip missing the bone. But here you go!
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha and co. but if I did I would eat a bucket of ice cream!
Chapter 26
Sango had returned to the hut safely. When she came back she found both Inuyasha and Miroku chatting quietly to each other. (a/n: as girly as that sounds.) When the to boys looked up to see who entered one smiled with delight while the other smiled for a second but was quickly replaced by a frown.
"Where's Kagome? Why isn't she with you?" Inuyasha asked as soon as Sango sat next to Miroku.
"She just is staying at the springs for a bit longer no need to worry. Oh but she did say not to come and get her before I left." Sango gave him a warning glance which he completely ignored.
"I don't care she shouldn't be out in the woods by her self!" Inuyasha said raising his voice.
"Inuyasha you must stop treating lady Kagome as if she is but a young child. She is a full grown women and you need to respect that or knowing her she wouldn't be to pleased." Miroku said knowledgably.
"I do treat her like a women… it's just… well… keh never mind." He said crossing his arms into his sleeves. "I'll give her ten minuets, and if she hasn't come back after that I'm going to go get her." He stated were there was no room for argument.
Both simply nodded at Inuyasha's childish behavior, but the distant look in his eyes was still there, he was concerned for his miko's safety.
The one thing that made the houshi and demon slayer concern was ever so often there Inu-hanyou friend would flinch. This concerned them a little too much.
(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)
"I've been waiting for you miko." A voice dripping with venom spoke.
"What do…why are you…how did." Not one single question could form inside Kagome's head.
"I may finally take you with me and claim you as my mate." The man said stepping out of the shadows. It was no other then the notorious Naraku.
Kagome quickly grabbed her miko outfit into the water covering her self all while putting then on. True her clothing would be soaking, but it is way better then this creep Naraku looking at her with lustful eyes. Wet cloths or creepy man looking at you naked…you chose.
"I'm not going to be your mate, I-I-I…" she didn't want to say she was already mated. It would not be a good out come. But though she didn't tell him, he would find out weather it be form her scent or the mark. So she continued. "I'm all ready mated to another." She said a bit shaky.
Dead silence that was all that was heard besides a seldom cricket rubbing its legs together.
Naraku stepped closer to her hoe spring. Making Kagome scurry out and backing up, not knowing what was to happen. Then as fast as inhumanly possible he was towering in front of her. She flinched when she felt his hand grab her collar to reveal the two small marks showing "he" had claimed her. He brought his hand back and when Kagome heard nothing and thought he had left. She opened her eyes that had been closed tightly, only to open then to feel a ruff hand whip across her face.
(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)
This was not right, not at all. He was growling, growling furiously. But then again he had been for the last 20 minutes. Sango forced him to stay, as much as he hated it.
Before they were mates there was a bond and a wanting, no needing to be near her, close to her. Being this far would've only irritated him before, but now that they were mated the irritation only grew into heart breaking innocence. He only wished his Kagome felt the same.
A minute or two went by when out of no where his cheek stung. It was if someone just slapped him.
"Itai."
He brought his hand up to his cheek and rubbed it lightly. But the pain was no longer there.
"Something is defiantly not right. He said standing up.
(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)
'He-he-he...'
"You slapped me!" Kagome yelled.
"Yes I did, you betrayed me, and it can't be forgiven so easily." His wicked cackled.
"I never associated myself to you to betray you." Kagome spat back.
"You shall learn when to hold your tongue when you speak with me." He bent down and grabbed a fist full of hair. "Soon enough my dear."
Kagome winced in pain. 'Asshole!' she thought to her self. 'I will not show my pain in front of him.'
"My dear miko, you know to well if you spread a single tear you will just endure more pain. The only reason I haven't taken you is because of that mark. Yet the other reason I desire you so much id your power. The power you hold makes you the only one capable of handling and using the Shikon-no-tama. Once you're my mate you can't disobey me again. Well… I also am quiet fancy with your body." He said licking his lips, while tracing his finger across her cheek. Which she slapped his hand quickly away, as is it was a pesky bug.
"I am NOT yours, I belong to Inuyasha. He loves me and not just my body as you disgustingly do. You hurt me he will know, and will rip you from limp to limp." It was almost sinister how she spoke.
"Inuyasha again hmmm… I will dispose of him along with your pathetic friends. All I have to do is call up my youkai followers to attack that small hut you're in, what do you say to that my dear?"
Kagome imaged the horrifying image.
The hut was silent, no one spoke a word. It was peaceful both Miroku and Sango were asleep. Inuyasha was sitting Indian style against the wall, watching and waiting for danger.
The silence was broken when the old shabby hut's roof was torn off. Leaving them exposed to a large number of youkai. Mean, ugly, sharp fanged, and blood thirsty eyed youkai. All floating above them grunting and growling. There had to be at least 2 thousand of them.
Two of the larger youkai spotted Sango and Miroku. They dived sown and the one bit Miroku's head off as blood squirted out of the motionless body. The other youkai attacked Sango's neck and bit hard and far into the arteries. And just like a vampire sucked her blood dry.
Inuyasha on the other hand was beating his way from a bunch of the youkai, to help Sango and Miroku. Though it was too late they both lied there on the wooden floor blood surrounding the motionless bodies. Inuyasha was too shocked to see his companion's dead that he didn't even notice the one youkai plunging its way towards him. The youkai bit right threw Inuyasha's stomach. Warm red blood spat out of Inuyasha's mouth as he fell to his knees.
The youkai all parted when one maniacal cackle could be heard over the dead bodies.
"Y-you wouldi-in't." she said scared for her friends and mate's safety.
"Don't think I would? I guess you'll have to learn the hard way." He paused for a second then oddly enough he snapped his fingers.
There was a weird silence until a large group of glowing eyes stared out from the forest around the hot springs. The glowing eyes got larger until they moved into the moonlights glow reveling ugly and gruesome youkai.
Kagome gasped. He was not kidding, these youkai were able to be ordered around by one single snap of the fingers. She didn't know what to do. She could either go with this bastard and do as he pleases, without her friends and love getting hurt or killed in this case. Or say no and have Naraku call his demons to kill them instantly.
She didn't want them to get killed just because she wouldn't go with him. She was to kind hearted to have her friends killed over herself. And she really didn't know what she would do to Inuyasha died. This way if she came quickly she would no he was safe and that would make and of her pain bearable.
She just wished Inuyasha could go on without her.
"I love you." She said falling asleep.
"I love you too my Kagome." Inuyasha replied.
The thought played over in her head her smile was small and sad.
'I will always love you forever no matter what but I need to know your safe.' She let a single tear slip and fall to the ground. She trembled before she opened her mouth.
"I-If I came with you, you have to promise that Inuyasha and my friends will not get harmed." She stated/ demanded.
"You have my word." He said though deep in his voice there was something untruthful about it.
"And I am not going to be your mate, no matter what the circumstance's!" she commanded.
"In so time you shall come to obey me or else you will have to be disciplined." His voice was so cold making Kagome shiver. "You also must address me by master or lord. If not…. Well let's just say the punishment will be great."
There was complete silence as Kagome stared at the ground. The feeling of despair was coming back, just like when she had been taken by Kouga. But this time it was ten times worse, way worse.
"Yes master." Her voice cold and monotone.
A/n: Wow that was gruesome! Hope you all didn't mind it, it's just I needed a reason for Kagome to go with Naraku, and it had to be big. So yeah. Thanks for all the reviews guys, and special thanks to Red!
Thanks all!
