Chapter 28

There was one thing that he could do and one thing only, and that was to go to his brother. This was no longer a battle it was a war and he needed the lord of the western lands help, and he knew he would help. It is said in the law of youkai law it states that no other youkai shall claim what is already claimed, and if that id to happen the one who with the claim may kill the youkai who disobeyed this law.

So Inuyasha was going to take down Naraku with his own two hands. No one takes his mate and gets away with it.

The group, Kagome less, traveled as fast as they could back to Sesshomaru's. It would take sometime going back down the mountain but there was no other way. Miroku and Sango were a bit nervous about reencountering Kouga but it was the only way to make it there fast enough. The two were also scarred for Inuyasha's health he had not spoken any words unless it was to give directions. As long as they got to Sesshomaru's they knew that Inuyasha would be semi okay, for now they just needed to leave him alone.

The pace that they were going they could make it down the mountain in less than three days. With Inuyasha running close to full speed, and Kirara keeping up with ease since she had a long rest.

Kagome woke a bit before midday to the smell of rice and chicken. She looked up to see Kagura placing the food plate down on the table.

"Hey." Kagura said simply. "Glad to see you up. I didn't bring you breakfast cause you were still sleeping."

Kagome nodded and walked over to the table and picked up the chopsticks, slightly shifted the food around before placing it in her mouth. She was pretty hungry and this time she actually wanted to eat, not like last time with Kouga.

When she was finished eating Kagura left saying something about the guards brining something. But Kagome wasn't listening to all of what she said.

There was absolutely nothing to do, not even her imagination would reach her in such a cold hearted place like this. She really didn't know what to do. All she knew was that she really really missed Inuyasha; it was ten times worse then when she was kidnapped by Kouga. But she knew it was for the best, either this or her friends and love suffer, and she couldn't handle that. Naraku was evil and strong and she knew that with the Shikon no tama in his grasp he was a lot stronger.

She was terrified of what Naraku is going to do with her. She can barely think of the cruel things he would do to her, without crying.

When everything went quiet including her thoughts the door slid open. A large man-youkai strolled in with a small thing shaking in his hand. The man threw the creature onto the ground in front of her and grunted, leaving Kagome completely confused.

She slowly walked over to the small shaking creature and picked it up. The creature lifted his head to face her. There was silence until…

"KAWII!" Kagome screamed hugging this small child.

Kagome pulled the, what looked to be extremely confused child, away from her body.

From what Kagome's power could scene that this was a small kitsune youkai boy. He had big bright emerald eyes, and red bushy hair which was pulled up with a green bow into a ponytail. He also has a blond bushy tail. He also had pointy ears and he wore blue pants, with a turquoise shirt with leave patterns on it as well he wore a fur vest. His feet where exactly like a fox's; thin, long, and they were a light brown. Let's just say a very small but very cute kitsune child.

The child looked at Kagome strangely. Which made Kagome hug him even more, because the face he pulled was in her words, was so cute that she could almost die. When Kagome finally set down the child she spoke kindly to it.

"Hello you, what's your name?" she asked tilting her head to the right. The little boy slowly opened his mouth but then closed it afterwards. He did this a couple times before he actually worded his minds thoughts.

"M-my n-n-name is S-Shippou."

"Why hello there Shippou, my name is Kagome." She said with a loving smile.

"A-a-are y-you going to h-hurt me?" the boy asked shaking uncontrollably. Kagome pulled back a bit surprised, who would hurt a cute child.

"Why would I so something like that?" she asked.

The boy started to whimper in her arms. She held him closer.

"It's ok, shhh everything's alright now." She said. When his whimpers slowed down he spoke.

"When my parents were murdered I was captured by two people named the thunder brothers. They brought me here were I have been set in a cage and made fun of. And that guy that brought me here grabbed me and I bit him but-t then h-he h-h-h-hit me!" Shippou finished crying his heart out.

"It's alright mow Shippou I'm here he…no, no one else will hurt you, I promise." She said patting his head while rubbing his back.

Shippou looked up at Kagome with tear filled eyes and sniffed his nose lightly.

"What's your name? And why is such a pretty lady like you doing here?"

Kagome giggled at his cuteness/curiosity.

"My name is Kagome and it's a long story why I'm here." She said sighing having an image an Inuyasha pop in her head but faded just as fast.

Shippou looked around the room then back at her.

"Well it looks like we have sometime so why not explain?" he suggested.

"Hmmm… I guess your right. Okay, but you have to listen closely." She giggled softly when Shippou curled into her lap getting as comfortable as he could.

"Where should I start…? I guess I'll start from the very beginning. It all started one calm morning I decided to go take a walk in the woods…"

And she continued her story telling of everything that happened from meeting Inuyasha in the forest, to serving him dinner, from going to a castle, then getting kidnapped, then being mated (but she left out the details.). She told of Miroku, Sango, Kirara, and Inuyasha and how they are mates. She told him that she had no other choice to come here or else they would have been in trouble. She told how much of an evil hanyou Naraku is.

This discussion went well past dinner and finished just in time for bed. Shippou was now asleep; she placed Him into the futon mat and sat neat the window which was…sealed, surprise! She sat near it looking out. Tears filled her eyes unable to stop. The pain in her heart right now hurt more then a hundred, no a thousand knives's cutting her skin layer by layer. Her soul was calling to Inuyasha, it needed him. She just wished there was another way instead. If only she was stronger. She knew she could've taken on Naraku's youkai but she knew she couldn't. Not being as strong miko as she'd like, she also wouldn't risk her friend's lives and definitely not her mate. Her power was being held back by something, some unknown force, she knew it was there ever since she was young. But she was unable to let it free. For now she could just pray, pray to kami something good would happen soon. But for now she would cry her aching heart out, deep into the night were no one would hear…or so she thought.

When her tears ran out she crawled into the futon and hugged the little kitsune close to herself, before falling asleep.

Kagura was there listing to her cry for about an hour straight. It wasn't right she knew it, but she couldn't do much she was to venerable to Naraku and his reached hands which held her and her sister's heart.

Kagura stood up off her knees, and started walking down the hallways. She made it to a dark room, well darker then the others, and found Naraku sitting against the side wall near the window. Kagura leaned against the door frame tapping her fan lightly to her face.

"What news do you bring me Kagura?" Naraku asked.

"You know it's not right keeping her unhappy." Kagura said.

"She seemed happy with that pesky brat." He said.

"Kanna." He called out. The white ghost like child walked in with her mirror and kneeled in front of Naraku.

"Kagura I'm going to ask you to leave, I have some people to speak with. Keep the priestess happy. I have plan's for her." He said watching her leave the room with an emotionless face. It wasn't a smart idea to show feelings towards such a man, no he was a monster.

Kagura kept walking down the hallways till she reached her quarters, and lied down on her mat, listening to the dead of night.

She hated Naraku. She held pure hatred towards him. What ever he had planned hoe Kagome was no good at all. The girl had a god damn mate and he took her away for power. She knew the jewel of four souls was here in the castle. But Naraku hasn't used it yet. He didn't seem like the one to wait to use it, something was up. And she was pretty sure that Kagome had something to do with it.

"I'm going to help her. She doesn't need to go threw what Kanna and I do." And with that she made preparations.

A/n: Done yay! Holy crap I was looking at the stuff I wrote at the beginning and then to what I write now, whoa! I've gotten so much better! Lol ok I'm done. But thank you all for the reviews!
