Hey everyone! Sorry for the wait!

Chapter 21

Kagome's P.O.V.

I've been kidnapped by Naraku. Again. I'm at the same castle, the same room, facing the same man.

But instead of the cruel treatment and the threats against my life, Naraku was trying to persuade me.

"Kagome, you don't see how much good you could do if you join me," he said. He was trying to convince me into joining him.

"And what good would that be?" I demanded. "I'll never join you! You can drop dead for all I care!"

'Inuyasha, save me,' I thought.

Wait, what am I thinking? He's probably with Kikyo right now and not giving a damn about anything else. I silently cursed, why am I thinking about him? Recalling what had happened a few minutes ago was already making my heart hurt.

"Hmm, it seems you're thinking about the half-breed," Naraku said. "You know he's not coming to save you. He's probably kissing Kikyo right now, enjoying it every moment of it."

I flinched as he said that.

Naraku chuckled darkly. "It seems I've struck a nerve. You probably hate Inuyasha because of his betrayal, am I right? Didn't he promise he wouldn't hurt you? Well it looks like he broke that promise. Don't you hate him?"

I shivered at the sound of his sly voice, smooth as caramel but at the same time sharp as a knife. My mind wasn't working well enough to question how he knew of Inuyasha's promise.

I watched as he pulled out the Sacred Jewel that once rested inside my body; unknown. But instead of the pink it used to be, it was now a dark, ominous purple; almost black.

Naraku sneered at me. "Don't you want revenge on Kikyo? On Inuyasha? With this, I can ensure you that you will have the power to destroy him and get your revenge."

Clenching it tightly in his hand, I heard a sudden crackle; like glass been broken. Opening his hand for me to see, in it was the jewel except smaller shards had broken off.

Taking a shard in his other hand, he got off his chair and advanced towards me. I backed away as he was coming forward.

"Wh-what are you going to do?" I asked nervously. I felt my back hit the wall.

He smiled evilly. "Oh, no need to be scared, my dear. All this will do is help convince you about taking my deal. It won't hurt, so relax."

Before I could say anything else, he stuck the shard in my forehead. Not really stabbing it in, but letting it settle. I could feel the shard disappear into my skin like a pebble in water.

But that's when the pain started. It won't hurt my ass.

Agonised, I fell to my knees, clutching my head in pain. Like lightning destroying my brain, I gritted my teeth from screaming out. Finally feeling it subside, I collapsed to the floor, exhausted.

I could feel a strange sensation spread through my head. A dark, evil fog seemed to cover my senses like a blanket but at the same time, everything remained crystal clear. I could feel my current consciousness fading away and no longer had control over my body. I could also feel my body growing hot from the increasing anger this new power was causing.

I felt myself get up.

Naraku asked, "Now do you want to join me?"

The words that came out of my mouth surprised me but at the same time…I wanted to say them as well. "If I can get revenge on both of them, I'll take you in on this deal."

"Perfect," smirked Naraku. "I'm glad you finally saw through my eyes. Now, there's only one more thing to do."

"What?"

"I just need to turn you into a vampire my dear. That's all."

Grabbing my hand to pull me in, he bit my throat.

I was actually enjoying the dark surge of power that came into my body.

Inuyasha's P.O.V.

I can't believe this? After Kikyo said that Kagome wouldn't- God, I'm so stupid!

After Sango announced the fact that Kagome had been kidnapped, she looked at me with the look of surprise in her eyes.

But then her expression turned menacing. "What are you doing here?" she asked with narrowed eyes.

Miroku came to my defence. "Sango, before you say anything more, it was Kikyo's fault. She told Inuyasha that Kagome would be hurt if he didn't break it off with Kagome; that she would have Naraku hurt her."

Sango continued to study me through narrowed eyes but cooled down a little. "And you believed her?" she asked me. "Do you know how much of a conniving witch she is?"

"Well I know that now," I mumbled in guilt.

Then Natsume asked, "Sango, back to the problem at hand. Who kidnapped Kagome?"

"This woman with red eyes and had a fan as a weapon. I mean, I'm a trained demon slayer and come from a long line of demon slayer descendants, but she could control the wind!"

I immediately knew who it was. "Kagura," I said.

Hikara stiffened and said, "We have to hurry. That woman was the one who experimented on me. Who knows what she'll do to Kagome!"

"But why would Naraku want to experiment on Kagome?"

Hikara gave us a solemn look. "I'm sure Naraku has his reasons but does Kagome have any…powers or a strength people might want?"

My blood turned cold. "Kagome's a priestess."

Hikara's eyes flashed a hint of sorrow. "Then Naraku might be planning to use her against you."

"But how? Kagome wouldn't do something like that!"

"I'm sorry to say I didn't tell you this before," started Hikara, "but long ago, Kagura used some of my blood to turn Naraku into a vampire. I'm afraid to say this but…I think he's planning on turning Kagome into a vampire."

"What? We have to hurry!" we all exclaimed.

"Lets go!" I told everyone. Not giving a damn about the rest of school, we ran out as fast as we could.

With me, Hikara and Natsume up front, we all left to rescue Kagome.

Naraku's castle...

We finally arrived at his castle when suddenly; a wind pushed us back the moment we stepped on the ground.

Kagura appeared in front of us.

"Where's Kagome?" I yelled at her, not waiting for her introduction.

She laughed. "If what you're saying is that you want her back, I'm sorry to tell you that she is already out of your reach. She won't go back with you even if you drag her."

We all froze.

"What?" I asked.

She replied, "Why don't you find out for yourself? Kagome, why don't you come over and say hello to your friends?"

"They're no friends of mine. Especially not that half-demon." Kagome's voice rang out before anyone saw her.

Kagome came out of the shadows with blood red eyes and long nails. Her long black hair had pink highlights and I could see two puncture holes on her neck; thin trails of blood tracing down her the surface of her skin and staining the collar of her uniform. When she smiled, I could see her fangs.

Oh no. Naraku already changed her.

Glancing over at everyone else, I could see the same horrified looks on their faces.

Kagome smirked. "Hello Inuyasha, and welcome to your death. And why not everyone else while we're at it?"

And then, fast as lightning, she ran at us at an inhuman speed.

No, I thought. This is all my fault.

Hope you guys liked it! Kagome's finally a vampire but will any of them survive?

Stay tuned,
