InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Being a child again ❯ chapter 2 ( Chapter 2 )

Before:

 

“No, no, no,” Naraku said, extending part of himself to catch hold of her. “You're not going anywhere.”

 

Kagome struggled and fought until finally Naraku, bored with her, squeezed her and she passed out.

 

Lookie lookie now:

 

As she lay in Naraku's grasp unconscious she was able to think only one thing: “Inuyasha…Inuyasha…Inuyasha…will you save me in time?'

 

And that was the last intelligent thought that she was able to think. For, in the next second, her thoughts were, `Oh, I want a pretty flower. Pretty pretty flowers!'

 

With Inuyasha and the others…

 

Inuyasha growled and jumped into the next tree. Why was it taking so long to find her? It should have been easy, he had tracked her before, when things were even tougher, so why couldn't he do it now?

 

“Inuyasha!” called Sango from above on Kirara's back. “Have you found her scent yet?”

 

Inuyasha rolled his eyes and yelled back, “Yeah, and that's why I'm there right now! No, have you?”

 

Sango didn't reply, knowing it would only cause trouble. What she wouldn't have given to hit him right then, though. But she knew that Inuyasha was trying, though in her opinion he wasn't trying hard enough.

 

“Sango…” said Miroku behind her. “Why do you think that Inuyasha is not able to find her scent?”

 

Sango thought for a moment. Why couldn't he? This is like all of the other times that she had been captured. Except it had never been by Naraku and right in the open. Naraku was up to something…and he had a new barrier.

 

“Inuyasha!” Sango called once again. “Can you smell Naraku?”

 

Inuyasha, who was getting sick of only smelling that, called, “What do you think?”

 

“Try and find a barrier!” she called down. “Remember, he covered his scent once before like that! And he has a new one now, see if you can't smell a change in his scent or anything that might lead us to him.”

 

Inuyasha didn't reply, knowing that was the best chance of finding her. If only he had walked with her! Then none of this would have happened.

 

Inuyasha heard Sango and Miroku start to call to him, but he ignored them.

 

If only he had…

 

SLAM!!!!

 

With a sickening crunch Inuyasha slammed into a barrier and fell back. Cursing himself for not concentrating he got himself up and looked the barrier over. It was odd. All of the other one's had been a slight purple-black. This one, though, was very…pink…and blue. Inuyasha knew those colors, they were the same color as Kagome's miko energy.

 

Cursing again, so much that Sango put her hands over Shippou's ears to keep him from picking up anymore foul language, she called down to Inuyasha, “What is it?”

 

“The barrier!” Inuyasha said. “It's laced with Kagome's power. Naraku, that bastard, is making her put this up for him!”

 

Miroku glanced at Sango and said, “Can she even do that? I thought she could only put her energy into her arrows?”

 

Sango nodded and said, “I thought so to. Maybe it isn't Kagome, maybe it's another miko with the same color energy?” when Miroku said nothing she continued. “Or…Naraku might have taught her then forced her…?” Miroku just shrugged though and they touched down beside Inuyasha.

 

“Inuyasha maybe…” Sango started, intending to tell him the same thing she had just said to Miroku but her cut her off.

 

“I heard you,” he said. “And it can't be another miko, they have certain colors and no other miko can have those…”

 

Miroku and Sango stood shocked at this revelation. Sango would have thought that at least she would have heard this, as she was a Slayer, but she didn't recall.

 

“How'd you know that?” asked Shippou, asking the question they were all thinking.

 

“Kikyo…Kikyo once told me.” He said, not looking at anyone. “She also told me how to destroy the barrier.”

 

“And how's that?” Miroku asked, not really knowing if he wanted to know the answer.

 

“It doesn't matter.” Inuyasha said, stepping back. Miroku, Sango, and Shippou, after glancing at one another, moved back as well as Inuyasha pulled out his sword.

 

“I should be able to break through it anyways.” He swung once, looking for the best spot to swing at. “And I won't have to blow up this whole area to do it.” Sango gasped.

 

Spotting the only weak spot he could see, he swung again, full force, as his blade turned a deep crimson red.

 

With Naraku and Kagome…

 

“Wake up, child, there is much for us to do.” Came a soft and silky voice into the child's ear. “Wake up…wake up Kagome…” the voice said.

 

Slowly and sleepily the young girl woke up. She looked around her, only seeing a man dressed in a funny costume and two girls, also dressed funnily. One was very tell, with a fan that Kagome wanted to touch. The other girl, short and looking about her age, was pale and had a mirror, which didn't seem to reflect anything but darkness. She turned back to the funny man.

 

“Where am I?” she asked, blinking up at him. He smiled in a way that made her feel welcome.

 

“In my home, child. We found you, my daughters and I, out in the road, all alone.” He glanced behind him at the two girl, who nodded. The teller one, though, hesitated. All this, Kagome the six year old, noticed nothing of.

 

“Are you ok?” asked the pale child. “Not…hurt?” her eyes shifted to Naraku for a moment, and he nodded slightly.

 

Kagome shook her head and jumped up, spun once, and fell back on her butt.

 

“Owey.” She said. “The floor is being a meanie head.” She stuck out her lower lip and pouted. Naraku, smiling and thinking that this was going to be far to easy, hit the floor slightly.

 

“There,” he said, showing her the slight dent he had made. “The floor won't be mean anymore.”

 

Kagome's eyes were wide, wide open as she stared at Naraku.

 

“Wow!” she finally said. “You're really strong mister!” he laughed, a cold laugh, and Kagome shivered slightly, though she really didn't know why.

 

“My name is Naraku, child. And these two,” he gestured behind him. “Are my daughters Kagura,” the tall girl stepped forward and bowed slightly. “And Kanna.” The pale girl came forward and bowed as well.

 

Kagome got up and tried to bow to, but the floor length nightdress she was wearing tripped her and she fell slightly. But she was caught by a pair of strong hands, Naraku's hands, and lifted back up, held steady wile she bowed again, then let go so she could sit back down.

 

“That was fun!” she said. “Thank you for saving me Naraku!” she launched herself up and hugged the man. But something, she didn't know what, made her let go rather quickly and just smile at him.

 

“Can we play a game?” she asked, looking at the pale girl.

 

Kanna nodded and asked, “What would you like…” she stopped and looked down at her mirror. “Master…Father…” she said, correcting herself as quickly as possible, but Kagome didn't seem to have noticed. She had gotten up to wonder over to Kagura.

 

“What is it, Kanna?” Naraku asked, watching Kagome to make sure that she did not run off. He needed her for bait and he didn't want anything to happen to his bait.

 

“Look…” Kanna said, holding up the mirror. It showed Inuyasha and the others, at the barrier, apparently talking to each other about something.

 

“Fine then.” He said, and Kanna put the mirror back down, the surface going gray again. “We shall move, someplace where they won't find us for a while. Well,” he said after a moment. “Not until we are ready to kill them.” He looked back over at Kagome who was tugging on Kagura's kimono.

 

“Can I see your fan?” she finally asked, after Kagura the tall girl kept ignoring her.

 

“What?” the girl said.

 

“I asked if I could see your fan, it's prettyfull!” Kagura almost laughed at Kagome's choice of words. But she didn't when she caught the look in Naraku's eye. It said do what the child asks or die.

 

“Fine,” Kagura said more to Naraku then Kagome. “Knock yourself out.” She added, hoping the child would do just that.

 

But before Kagome was even able to grasp the fan, there came a sudden explosion from the outside. Kagura withdrew her hand and stepped back, reaching up to take a feather from her hair.

 

“We leave.” Naraku said, standing up and walking over to Kagome. “Come Kagome, we are going to…to go for a ride.” Her face lit up and something inside of Naraku stirred…something that made him want to kill everything that came near Kagome. Keeping his face blank, but killing that part of himself, he picked up the child and got onto the feather, just as Inuyasha and the others burst into the door.
