Thanks so much for reading everyone! This is getting intense!

Chapter 10

Inuyasha's P.O.V.

I had just woken up when my cell-phone started ringing. I checked the caller ID and you would not believe the shock I got when I saw Kagome's name. I had just given my number to her the last day!

I picked up with my heart in my throat. "Kagome?"

But then I heard her scream.

"Kagome!" I yelled into the phone. My heart was pounding in panic. What was going on?

"Half-breed."

That wasn't Kagome's voice. I know this voice.

"Now I can have all the power I ever dreamed of in my hands and let you hear your girlfriend's screams while I get it!"

"Kagome!" I yelled aimlessly into the speaker of the phone. Another scream echoed in my ear right before the line went dead.

I scrambled out of bed and swore and cursed like never before. "Hang on, Kagome! I'm coming! Please be alright!"

Without even bothering to leave like a decent person, I jumped out my window and flew to Kagome's house.

When I got there, Kagome's scent was faint but she wasn't there. But then I saw her mom was on the kitchen floor unconscious.

Running over, I shook her awake.

"Where's Kagome?" I asked.

Groggily, she responded, "She took her. Please, save her."

"Who took her?"

"A woman with a fan."

Then I knew exactly where they were.

Jumping out the window once more I let my feet run at my maximum to the castle.

Frantic, I followed Kagome's scent to track her to one, certain room. Ignoring the frightened servants, I could only focus on the overwhelming smell of Kagome's blood as I got closer to her location.

I barged into a dark room and the moment I entered, there was a shadow of an unconscious body in the darkness.

No mistake, it was Kagome.

Running over I gently nestled her in my arms as I checked for a pulse. My mind was becoming dizzy with the smell of her blood in my hands.

Her pulse was weak, but at least she was still alive. But her breathing was laboured and she was paler than normal. The blood flowing from a gash in her waist continued to run freely.

Picking her up carefully, I ran to the nearest hospital, my mind cursing and racing in the process.

"Someone, help!" I yelled as soon as I entered the hospital doors. Kagome was taken to the emergency room immediately and I could do nothing but watch her go.

I swore and punched the outside wall of the hospital.

"Damn you, Naraku, you're going to pay for doing this!"

Wait for the next chapter to see how Inuyasha knows Naraku!

Thanks again,
