Chapter 3

A/N: Thank you to all of you who review and favorite and follow! You're the reason I can keep writing for you my wonderful readers! And for those of you that still read… Thank you very much ^-^

Disclaimer: I have never, will never, and can never own Inuyasha! Some great awesome person in Japan does but unfortunately I'm NOT them.

"Hey, Miroku?" Shippou asked. Everyone's favorite perverted monk looked up from admiring Sango's bottom at Shippou's questioning tone.

"Yes Shippou, what is it?"

"Do you think Inuyasha's dead?" Shippou asked blatantly staring at the crater they had manage to pull him out of.

The half demon in question had not shown any sign of life since Kagome sat him to hell. Not even when Shippou and Miroku started using him as a couch.

"…There is a very good chance that he is dead…" Miroku admitted holding his chin thoughtfully. "What with the injuries to his head and spine… but he has such a thick skull he should be fine." Miroku said reassuringly but also shrugging.

"At least since he hasn't woken up we get to relax and sit on him without dying!"

"You guys really should get off him though. 'Cause when he gets up you are both-" Sango didn't get to finish because at that moment Inuyasha sprung to life, effectively throwing Shippou and Miroku flying.

"WHERE IS THAT BITCH!"Inuyasha yelled his eyes wild as he whipped around, searching from side to side.

That sit fucking hurt! When I find her she is soo dead! He growled in his own head before he noticed Shippou and Miroku a few feet away, stuck in the bushes, groaning as Sango shook her head at them.

Sango's eyes quickly shifted to Inuyasha when he yelled.

"Don't you dare call Kagome a bitch!" Sango screamed at him rounding on him almost immediately defensive of the younger woman who was like her sister. She hefted her Hirakotsu getting ready to beat him over the head like she does to Miroku all the time.

"I'll call the bitch," Inuyasha said stressing the profanity "What ever I want to call the bitch, since she's my property!"

Sango promptly smacked him over the head with her Hirakotsu sending him to the ground much like a sit from Kagome.

"Idiot!" Sango yelled at him then walked away towards the monk and the kitsune who were pulling themselves from the shrubbery.

Why must all these women be defiant and send me to the ground! Why can't they just be good submissive bitches? Inuyasha asked himself bitterly as he got up again and walked towards the forest following Kagome's faint angry smell.

Only good thing about this… when she's angry her scent changes from sweet sugared apples to a spicy mint… Not that I notice or care or anything! But it's nice… Inuyasha thought intensely not seeing the little imp alone in the meadow till he almost broke the cover of the woods.

Hey isn't that my dumbass brother's retainer? Inuyasha thought as he noticed Jaken alone in the field holding some kind of… shining object which he then threw to the ground.

What is the little toad up to? He thought actually genuinely curious, hiding in the brush and not acting on impulse for once.

When the object hit the ground, an image of a face Inuyasha thought he would never see again appeared.

It's not possible… He thought so thoroughly shaken he almost fell over from the shock. I-It… It can't be…

"Milord Naraku, how do you fare?" The toad asked as he prostrated himself before the vision of the despised man.

What kind of sick twisted dream is this…My brothers attendant, the one I was sure was gay for him…. is betraying him to our old dead enemy?!

"How do you think I fare you stupid imp?! I'm a severed head stuck on a spider web stuck on the border between the living and the dead!" Naraku yelled menacingly.

"M-milord I'm-I'm so sorry!" The imp begged for forgiveness bowing repeatedly before him. "I simply wondered how my great evil wrathful lord was faring your great..." Jaken went on and on praising Naraku.

Well, that's definitely Jaken. Inuyasha thought grimly. He was sure there was only one creature that could possibly butt kiss as much as that imp.

"Oh SHUT UP JAKEN!" Naraku yelled finally, shutting the imp up just as he was describing how any woman would not be worthy of his lord's greatness. "There was one woman who was worthy of me..." Naraku muttered bitterly "…but I never got the chance to make her mine."

Kikyo... Inuyasha thought. His heart saddening at the thought of the dead priestess, whom he loved dearly and still mourned.

"But the world gave me another chance with that Kagome girl even though I never saw it till now, but I will get my love no matter what." Naraku grunted determined making Inuyasha's heart stop beating for a moment.

Naraku… wants Kagome..? HE thought to himself looking down at the floor as he tried to make sense of it in his head, his white ears twitching atop his head. But… he's dead… He can't have her… Inuyasha tried to reassure himself.

"Yes milord, and you shall have your chance, once I find a suitable vessel for your soul!" Jaken said. Then added. "And you will help me get my vengeance against that bastard Sesshomaru." Jaken grumbled in that horrid ton of his- hate coloring his voice.

"Yes, yes but you understand, I am not doing anything for you, correct. I simply wish to kill Sesshomaru and Inuyasha for trapping me in this god forsaken place." Naraku muttered almost boredly before he added, "You best hurry and find me a vessel. I tire of waiting to bed that Miko and seeing the brothers' blood staining my hands."

"I'm trying my lord! But I must find someone who is similar to your soul structure with an attachment to the Mikos, capable of harnessing your power, and who is a hanyou that has darkness in their heart." Jaken bemoaned, ashamedly.

"Well try harder!" Naraku boomed causing the ground to shake and for Inuyasha to tumble out of the bushes off balance bringing the attention of the cowering imp and the glowing vision in the field.

"Inuyasha!" they both yelled in surprise. But after a moment they both looked at him with a evil gleam in their eyes.

"Him." Naraku clearly baffled as to why he hadn't thought if it earlier. "He is perfect! Why hadn't you thought of him, you stupid imp? Oh, no matter, start the spell Jaken."

"Yes milord." Jaken said as he threw some odd powder on Inuyasha's still frame paralyzing him as he began to chant in an ancient language Inuyasha could not decipher.

Damn it! Inuyasha thought as he finally tried to move his limbs when his thoughts began to dim as did the glowing vision of Naraku.

Inuyasha gave a cry of pain as Naraku took over his body pushing his own consciousness to a deep dark corner of his mind. Inuyasha fought and tried to claw his way free but…

He lost.

"Finally I live again!" Naraku yelled to the sky moving his new found limbs. He flexed Inuyasha's hands slowly as his miasma began to seep into the air once more, polluting the air once more.

"Kagome and Sesshomaru… prepare yourselves…. ready or not…. I'm back for you…" Naraku said softly before breaking out into laughter tipping his head back to the sky, in Inuyasha's voice and body.

As Jaken looked in awe at his masters new form he asked cautiously worrying at his staff as he stepped up. "What do we do now, my lord?"

Inuyasha- Well… Naraku turned to the imp mid laugh and looked at him mildly annoyed but he sighed and turned back to him. "Simple, you useless imp." He muttered as he inspected the fire rat robes Inuyasha still wore. Hideous thing it was…

"You tell me where Sesshomaru is so I can slay him and where Kagome is so I can bed and mate her." Naraku said loving the finality that he could finally get from those words.

"Oh! Right! I forgot to tell you!" Jaken said smacking his forehead as the thought finally hit him.

"Sesshomaru took Kagome to his fortress after she healed him from the attack I… I mean… From an sudden surprise attack." Jaken said quickly, not wanting to give away he had acted on his own accord out of impatience.

Whirling around, Naraku glared at Jaken, his new golden eyes sparking dangerously. He didn't even care about the stumbled over part.

"What did you say?" Naraku said softly with pure malice.

Cowering Jaken apologized over and over again till Naraku yelled for him to Shut up… again.

He bit his lip as he thought it over. It wasn't exactly ideal… But at the very least both of his targets were in the same place. A grin cut across his face as he hatched his plan in his mind.

Oh I will be coming for you Sesshomaru… Kagome… Just you wait… He thought darkly as he summoned his cloud of miasma, grabbing Jaken by the head, and started off to the west on his dark mission… unaware of the green eyes that followed him from the tree line.

Oh… Inuyasha what have you done now? The fox demon bemoaned as he watched his friends body soar aware before he scrambled back to inform the others.

End note: And so the plot thickens! Chapter 3 done and re-edited! I can't make any guarantees on how well I'll keep up on schedule but I'll try my best. Managed to get out 2 chapters today so lets hope I don't give up!

Bye bye!
