Captured! Wait, that's NOT Sesshomaru!

Here's Chapter 2! Have fun, and please review!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kagome and Shippo went through vigorous training in the duration of the next week. When their training was done they were all too grateful. They did nothing but sleep and eat. However, as soon as Inu Yasha found a lead on two of the jewel shards, they were up and moving out. And this is where we join our happy troop!

~~~*___*~~~*___*~~~*___*~~~

"SIT BOY!" Kagome yelled.

Inu Yasha fell face first into the ground. Kagome emerged from the water, continually "Sitting" Inu Yasha, so he had no chance to look up. She dressed herself in a pair of impossibly short shorts, and a tiny pale blue halter-top that went just above her belly button. Oh man! These clothes… I didn't realize they were so small! Kagome thought surveying her reflection in the water. She shrugged and pulled on her open back tennis shoes. At least the others are decent enough to stay their distance! Jeesh!

"Ow!" Inu Yasha groaned, standing up. "Hey! You stupid girl! That hurt! Why'd you have to- to…" Inu Yasha couldn't say any more. All he could do was stare. He had never- never- seen Kagome dressed like that. It was… he couldn't even think of a way to describe it. Instead he just gaped.

She looked at him, grinning mischievously. "What is it Inu Yasha? Cat got your tongue?" she said, walking purposefully towards him. She swayed her hips in an exaggerated manner, making him gulp in air.

Kagome continued advancing on him, like a Lioness and her prey. She stopped just inches away from him, making him sigh, caught between relief and disappointment. He could smell her. He loved her scent- pure and sweet, not tainted and bitter like Kikyo. That's what he loved most about her- that she was nothing like Kikyo. While Kikyo was cold and uncaring, a mere shell of a human, Kagome was warm and kind- real, yet illusory. It was like she was there, within his grasp, and yet she was still unreachable, beyond and above him. That was why he thought it would never work between them- she was above him.

Kagome's voice brought him away from his thoughts. "…And why did you all of a sudden space out like that?" she was saying, "You need to quit daydreaming, or we'll never find those shards."

"Shut up and quit bossing me around will ya?" Inu Yasha grumbled, "Why do you care about the Shikon Jewel, anyway?"

"Well, the sooner we get the shard, the sooner I can take it back to my world, and keep it away from dirty little Youkais like you!" she retorted.

Inu Yasha flinched at the well-placed blow and Kagome realized what she had said. She reached out and grabbed the sleeve of his haori as he turned around.

"Oh, Inu Yasha I'm so sorry. I didn't mean it! You're not a Youkai, at least not at heart. You are nothing like you're brother."

He brushed her hand away. "Feh. It's fine. You don't need to apologize. Not to a lowly half-breed Youkai like myself. I know, now, exactly how you feel about me- my "kind". So let's just finish the Jewel so you can get as far away from us as possible, okay?" he said vehemently.

"No! You've got it all wrong! That's not how I think of you!" Kagome cried in despair.

"Oh really? Well then, what do you have to add? Perverted? Stupid? Brutal? Vindictive?" Inu Yasha glared at her, impassively.

"No! Never, you've never been any of those things. I think I know- what you are."

"Oh yeah? And what is that?" Inu Yasha replied sarcastically.

In a few long strides, Kagome eliminated the distance between them. She stood only a few inches away- close, but not touching. "You're just a lonely wandering hanyou," she reached up with her right hand and cupped his face, gently, her eyes boring holes into his own, "Who has loved, but never been loved in return, and who misses his mother. You consistently seek acceptance and love, home and friendship, yet you have never been able to see that you already have it." She dropped her hand, blushing slightly. "I'm sorry, I'm babbling."

He leaned over and kissed her lightly. Just a feather light touch of the lips, but it still made Kagome's heart pound. "No, everything you said is correct. I'm just sorry I-" he stopped mid-sentence and sniffed the air. "Kagome, get down. I smell a demon."

"But- hold on a second! What demon is it?" Kagome asked, lying flat on the ground.

"I-I don't know. It's not familiar to me," Inu Yasha said, "Which is why you have to stay here. I'm going to go check him out."

"Um… okay," Kagome said, uncertainly.

Inu Yasha followed the demon's scent to a small clearing where a little wolf demon sat on a rock. He wasn't very powerful, and yet there was something familiar about him. Inu Yasha took one step forward and was about to ask just who this demon was, when he heard a scream.

He whipped around and jumped into the air. "Kagome!" he yelled.

He was too late, despite his valiant efforts. He caught the scent of a demon and gasped. He knew that scent!

"But… that's not Sesshomaru! Why would he kidnap her?" Inu Yasha growled.

He ran back to the clearing where Miroku, Sango, and Shippo were waiting. He stopped directly in front of them, panting heavily.

"Inu Yasha, what is it? Where's Kagome?" Miroku asked, worriedly.

"She was kidnapped by… Koga," Inu Yasha said, sorrowfully, "I was following the scent of another demon, sent by Koga as a decoy, I imagine. That was when he took her."

Inu Yasha clenched his fists in anger. That stupid Wolf! I'll kill him if he does anything to Kagome! Hell I'll kill him just for taking her in the first place! He looked at Miroku and Sango.

"Are you ready?" he asked them.

"Ready for what?" Shippo asked.

"We're going to rescue Kagome," Inu Yasha said.

"Can I come? I want to help Kagome, too!" Shippo cried.

"Yeah, sure you can," Inu Yasha said. He turned so that none of them would see the affectionate smile he wore on his face. He had become quite fond of the little kitsune in the past years. Hell, the fox-demon was basically his unofficial pup!

"Are we going or are we just going to sit around here all day?" Sango said, standing up.

"Yeah, let's go!" Inu Yasha said. And so they headed out.

"Koga put me down!!" Kagome screamed.

"I'm sorry, but I have been sent to retrieve you and take you back to your own world," Koga said.

"Wh-what? Sent… by whom?" Kagome asked him.

"Your brother, Sota," Koga said.

Kagome lay still for the remainder of the time she spent in Koga's arms. They arrived at her house and Kagome jumped down. She ran into the house only to find Leila sitting in the family room.

"Oh my God! Leila, is that really you?" Kagome exclaimed.

Leila jumped up and ran to Kagome. [For those of you who have seen Sailor Moon, Leila looks like Rei, Sailor Mars. Except her hair is the same length as Sailor Saturn's, and her hair is brown, with natural red highlights. For those of you who haven't… tough!]

"Oh my gosh, Kagome, you look great!" Leila said.

"Me? Look at you! That outfit!" Kagome said, looking at Leila's traditional Japanese Priestess robes. The only difference between hers and Kikyo's is that Leila's have midnight blue pants.

"You're family just told me about the whole "well" thing. They said you were on vacation there. Can I come with you?" Leila asked.

"Well… sure! Yeah, that'd be alright," Kagome said, "We should be getting back, Inu Yasha will be swearing to murder poor Koga. In fact, he's probably coming through the well right about… now!"

"KAGOME!!!" Inu Yasha's voice yelled, "Koga, get your lame ass out here so I can kill you!"

Koga walked outside, followed by Leila and Kagome. Inu Yasha gritted his teeth and was about to lunge at Koga when Kagome walked up to him.

"Inu Yasha, Koga came and got me to bring me here. My friend came over to visit me. By the way… Inu Yasha, this is Leila, and vice versa."

"Oh… well still! He could have just told me, instead of making me crazy with worry!" Inu Yasha yelled.

"You were worried, huh? Well then-" Kagome smiled at him, "Thank you for worrying, and I'm sure Koga is sorry."

"So, they obviously have a thing," Leila said to Koga.

"A thing? What thing?" Koga asked.

"Well, I mean they have feelings for each other," Leila said.

"Oh… Yes, I suppose they do," Koga said, sadly.

"Well, are we going back?" Leila exclaimed, running towards the well. She passed Miroku on her way.

Together, they jumped through the well and into the feudal era.
