She hadn't expected Naraku to show up, and while she prayed for a quick death to save her from the agony of being his little puppet for the rest of her life, he'd decided on something else.
Naraku had thought to keep Kouga, Ayame, and herself as hostages.
"I really was hoping that Serah would climb that mountain." Kagome groaned as she dangled uselessly from the ceiling. Ayame, who had been gagged for her mouth, settled on glaring at the male. Kouga had too been gagged but there was a suspicion that somewhere in there, Kagura had made the male her pet.
It wouldn't be surprising really, after all, Kouga was second to only Sesshoumaru in Kagura's heart.
Currently, Naraku was pacing the length of the room trying to decide how to go about destroying his group of enemies in one go. Of course they would come for the miko Kagome, who wouldn't?
"Its not like he'll come for me, he has his one true love. Your best bet is to make me as evil as you and send me to go kill them all so they could vanquish my evil." Kagome suggested as he paced about the room.
Naraku stopped and stared at her as if contemplating it for a moment and then shook his head.
"You know Naraku, Inuyasha has another female, he doesn't have a need for me." Kagome supplied.
"Oh really now?" Naraku replied. He called Kanna to him and ordered her to show him the position of the halfbreed and was awestruck.
Kagome saw the familiar look in his eyes and groaned.
"Who is that alluring female with them?" he questioned her.
"Midoriko's wannabe copycat." Kagome dryly replied.
"Kagura!" Naraku called out, and Kagome didn't have to wait long for the loyal minion to appear.
"Watch the miko and the wolves, it is time that I pay Inuyasha... a visit." an audible groan was heard in the background.
Naraku left in gust of miasma, leaving the Kaze and Kanna of the void to look after her.
Kagome could only hope that Naraku could only spare her and kill her first.
"So what's up with that Midoriko reincarnation?" Kagura asked peering into the mirror to see the girl summon out some sort of weapon in a poof of magical light and clouds. Kagura flinched back as if slapped by some invisible force.
"You can't be serious Kagome." she said glaring at the woman.
"What!? You made it sound like I wanted her to be here!" Kagome defended.
"What kind of... idiocy is this?" Kagura motioned to the mirror in horror.
"That would be my all powerful cousin. Taking on some demon, with nooooo effort at all."
Another thought struck the girl, "Kagura would you believe that she's courting Sesshoumaru?"
A look of outrage crossed Kagura's face, "What?"
"Yeah. She's that southern lord's long lost daughter. And she's engaged to Sesshoumaru. Funny ain't it?"
Kagura visibly fumed and threw down her fan in a rare show of temper, she kicked it across the room and pointed a finger at Kagome, "You will help me get rid of her!"
"Gladly. Now get me down and release my friends."
- With Serah-
"Way to go Inuyasha!" Serah cheered as he sliced down a demon that attacked her. Sango had advanced from gal pal to worshiper within the day, followed by group time Kagome bashing.
Sesshoumaru honestly didn't like the girl, actually he tolerated the girl a little more than he did Jaken. It was a gift really, the only reason why he hadn't killed the girl yet was because he had wanted to impress Kagome with his new found patience. However he had been making more and more excuses to not be in the group with his idiot half-breed brother and Serah's new fan club.
Then before bed Serah would tell them all stories about her hometown... that sounded no different than Kagome's...
Strangely enough to the halfbreed and everyone else, it sounded magical and full of mysteries!
Sesshoumaru had wanted to scoff, as if he didn't know what lay beyond the bone eater's well. Serah had "attempted" to weasel him into courting her, stating that she had no interest in his riches or title that she would have been happy just to be with him.
Where had he heard that line before?
Oh yeah, he heard that from the millions of other females that wanted him. Who could honestly look upon his perfection and not want it? The priestess Kagome included.
Then came Naraku in a dramatic entrance of suspenseful music, tentacles, and miasma, in that order.
"Naraku!" Inuyasha snarled.
However the male didn't seem as interested in him as they thought and when Serah was captured, everyone scrambled to save her.
"You will die for endangering my intended Half-breed." Sesshoumaru said pulling out Bakusaiga.
Naraku rolled his eyes, "Spare me the dialogue Lord Sesshoumaru, if you had wanted her, she'd be your mate by now. Because we all know how impatient you are."
"Naraku, I know you don't want to do this." Serah said to him gently.
Naraku, had decided that he wanted the girl for himself. He'd seen his happiness in the form of this... he didn't even know what she was.
She wasn't human he knew that much.
"Naraku I can take away your pain, just give me your part of the jewel." she pleaded.
And he gave it to her, just cause she looked so damned adorable when she pleaded!
Kagome and Kagura floated from the skies, and Naraku had handed over the jewel to Serah without any sort of fight.
And just because Serah was the reincarnation of Midoriko, the Shikon Jewel was purified and no more.
"That's it?" Kagome asked.
Kagura looked at her ally, "What do you mean?"
"All that fighting we did over that jewel and that was it? No epic battle? Just a blonde bimbo purifying the Jewel just cause she said 'pretty please?!'"
All that time she spent here missing out on school and it was ended when this whack job asked nicely?
What the hell?!
"Now Naraku, I'm going to purify your soul. I'll make it so that you can live, so that you can spend the rest of your life repenting with my he-" and Serah was tackled to the ground.
Then seemingly from thin air, Kouga and Ayame tied the girl up and Kouga carted her off in rapid speed.
"Hey! Where the hell are you taking my woman ya mangy wolf?" Inuyasha yelled attempting to go chase him.
Kagome wasn't having it. She snatched a handful of Miroku's binding Sutras from his robes and stuck them on the heads of Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, and Naraku.
"Kagome what are you doing?" Sango cried out.
"And just so there is no funny business," Kagome snapped her fingers and Kagura tied Miroku and Sango to a tree.
Growls filled the air and roars of outrage and anger filled her ears. Kagome wasn't hearing any of it.
"I'll see you guys in a couple of days." she stated with a wave and she hopped back on Kagura's feather and they flew away.
They traveled for a good thirty minutes before Kagome and Kagura arrived to find Serah making things hard for Kouga.
"You can't control a simple female?" Kagura asked with her hands on her hips.
"Shut up! She's tougher than she looks!" Kouga snapped dodging a round of pirouette like kicks.
Ayame tried to attack the girl only to get swept back by some wind.
This was getting out of hand.
Kagome rolled her eyes and took Kagura's fan away from her and stomped up to Serah with the fury of hell dancing behind her, and hit Serah in the back of the head forcefully while she had been distracted.
"Tie her down, the party's just beginning." Kagome ordered.
