This is my new story. Hope you guys enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or any of the characters mentioned in the story.
I woke up to silence and complete darkness. Okay, Kagome, don't freak out yet, I tried to assure myself. Where did they all go?" I began to search for my friends I have journeyed with for the past two years.
Inuyasha?
Silence.
Shippo? Sango? Miroku? Kirara?
I kept calling out their names but received no response. I sat up and was immediately aware that I was alone in the feudal era infested with youkai and bandits. I reached for my yellow backpack, but did not find it there. Then I realized I wasn't in my sleeping bag that I had slept in either.
What's going here I thought to myself. I got up and walked around in the pitch darkness. I felt my way around only to discover that there were only solid rock walls. Now if only I could find a way out, Inuyasha is going to be so mad
Inuyasha…
The thought of his voice struck something in my heart.
Inuyasha… I missed him.
Before I could think about anything else, I had to find a way back. A few more steps and I felt something like a crack to an opening. I squeezed by fingers through and felt the breeze of the outside world. Yes! I thought.
Just as I took back my hand and tried to escape, a figure snuck up behind me and stuck his arm out pinning me between the wall and him. He said in a low voice, "don't move."
I was sweating beads of cold sweat and a shiver went down my spine. The place suddenly became very cold.
"Who are you?"
…
"I asked who you are!"
I was getting more and more anxious by the moment.
"I asked wh-"
"Silence, wench. If you want to live, you will do as I say."
I nodded slightly. As if he understood, he slackened his arm and let it down. "Follow me," and so I followed this mysterious man.
Inuyasha, where are you… I kept hoping that Inuyasha would come for me like he always does.
We walked a bit off of where we were. I treaded behind, listening to the sounds of his footsteps to make sure I didn't fall behind. He skidded into a stop and I almost collided into him. If it wasn't so dark, I could've sworn he was glaring at me.
He bent down to reach for something on the floor.
Click
He opened the trap door and light started radiating out. We entered.
It seemed as if we were underground.
The two of us kept walking until we reached a section of the tunnel lit by torches attached to the walls. There, lay six other figures. This is not going to be good…
I began searching for ways to escape. As my eyes wandered, they landed on my captor's face. He was medium tall, had a strong build, his hair was in a long, dark braid down his back, wore armor on his upper torso, and he had the eyes of a demon.
Then he spoke.
"My name is Bankotsu, the leader of the Band of Seven."
The Band of Seven?...
"And your job, wench, is to lead us to that hanyou so we can destroy him."
Oh no…
