InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Cat and Mouse ❯ Taken ( Chapter 1 )

A/N: Hi everyone. Edited and ready to go!

Disclaimer: I'm too sad to think up anything. You guys can figure it out.

"Kagura, come here," Naraku yelled.

"I'm already in front of you. What do you want?" she asked impatiently.

"Patients my dear, I will tell you. Look at the mirror pond (A/N: lame name I know, but oh well). What do you see?"

In the small pond was a picture of Kagome. Kagura eyed him oddly before answering, "That girl that travels with Inuyasha right. I think her name was Kagome."

"Kagura, I want that girl away from the Inu-hanyou and in my grasp. Once that has occurred I will force her to my side, MUHHAHAHA!" Naraku yelled insanely.

"Right, you know you have to work on the evil laugh. It really sucks. Anyway fine I'll do it," Kagura said rubbing her temples.

"Now go Kagura!"

"Going" With that she ran from the layers, but in the background she heard that awful Naraku laugh. "But your laugh still sucks," she called back.

------

"Inuyasha, SIT!" could be heard echoing throughout the forest.

"What did you do that for wench?" Inuyasha yelled from the ground.

"That's for being mean to Shippo," Kagome replied irritably. Shippo jumped from behind Kagome's leg.

"Well he started it," Shippo said sticking his tongue out.

"Did not"

"Did too

"DID NOT"

"DID TOO"

"DID………" he was cut short as he caught sight of Kagome. Her fists were clenched and steam was coming from her ears.

"WOULD YOU TWO JUST SHUT UP AND STOP ARGUING!!!!!!!!!!" she yelled at the top of her lungs.

"Um……… Kagome, why do look so um……………angry," Inuyasha asked densely. Miroku and Sango stepped a few feet back and covered there ears at the expected round of `Sits', and did it come. Kagome smiled at Inuyasha sweetly and walked up to him. She stared directly into his eyes and stood very close to him their noses touching. Inuyasha was beginning to sweat. Sure he had expected a few sits and sure he thought she would stop speaking to him for a while but this, this was completely unexpected.

"Inuyasha," Kagome said huskily. Inuyasha gulped and shakily answer, "Y-Y-Yes K-K-Kagome?" She took a big breath and said, SSSIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTT! SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SSSSSSSSSSSIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTT!" A few birds scattered.

"Ow," could be heard from the 8ft crater that had just appeared.

Eventually, the spell wore of but it took a while. Sango and Miroku had began betting whether or not he would recover that night or not (Sango had won.) They began to move again, no one uttering a word until Miroku came up to Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha do think it possible to perhaps rest for tonight," he asked.

Inuyasha looked at him as though he was crazy, "Keh, you've already rested. You tired again?"

Miroku shook his head and replied, "No, I myself am not tired, but I fear this continuous march might be hard on Lady Kagome. Reconsider please; it might win you some points with her. I must say they are much needed." Inuyasha hit him in the head.

"Keh, why would I want to……" his statement was cut short by Miroku.

"Inuyasha I fear that Lady Kagome is to the point of unconscious. We must rest."

Inuyasha raised his voice so Kagome could hear him, "Is the walk hard on you Kagome, Kagome?" He turned to yell at her only to find her on the ground.

He ran over to her and placed lifted her fragile form off the ground. "Kagome come on wench. This isn't funny, wake up," He said shaking her gently.

"Well I see the spelling powder works," said a voice from behind them.

Three heads whipped around, "KAGURA."

Inuyasha felt an anger he had never before. "Sango watch over Kagome." His eyes covered by his bangs. He softly laid Kagome in Sango's lap and grasped the hilt of his sword.

"Kagura, you will pay for causing Kagome to go into this state. Mark my words, I will kill you for doing this to her." He unsheathed his sword and pointed it at Kagura, showing the seriousness of his threat.

"Oh, I'm so scared. Dog-boy is pointing his rusty slab of whatever-that-thing-is-made-of at me. I'm shaking in my sandals," Kagura laughed out.

Inuyasha had begun to shake with rage, but Kagura continued on, "And to protect a human too, one that he doesn't even appreciate to boot. This is all beside the point. I'm here to take that girl to Lord Naraku. He wants her and he told me to get at all cost. No little doggy is going to stop me! But really, she might come to us willingly. After all Inuyasha, a girl can only take so much of being called a shard detector until she completely gives up."

Guilt began to engulf Inuyasha at the realization that what Kagura said was true. "Just because I call her that doesn't mean that I don't care about her," he blurted out.

"Unfortunately by the time Naraku done with her, she'll be so convinced you don't, she might even try to kill you," Kagura stated smugly. Kagura whipped out her overly-large fan thingy and created a strong gust of wind. During the confusion, she had somehow gotten behind Sango.

"Watch out Sango," yelled Miroku. He shoved her out of Kagura's path, but in doing so he caused her grip on Kagome to fade and let go of her. Kagura picked up the crumpled girl at her feet.

"So, I guess now that I have the girl I'll be leaving!" Kagura picked up her fan once more and swung it, this time causing the dirt from the path to create a distraction so she could make her get-away. `Kagome,' Inuyasha thought mournfully.

------

Naraku had been attempting for an entire 3 hour to get a jewel shard into Kagome's arm.

"WHAT IS WITH THIS GIRL," he screamed. It echoed and bounced through the long hallway. No matter have hard he tried Kagome clung to her memories and her faith in Inuyasha. `Why does she trust him so much? I've seen how he treats her,' he thought.

"IT MAKES NO SENSE,' he bellowed. Kagura sauntered into the room, her hands covering her ears.

"Naraku, I know this is all frustrating, but could you do me a big favor. Could you please, you know just maybe SHUT UP ALREADY!" Naraku just distantly heard Kagura's ranting, he had figured out a plan. His lips curved into a wicked smile.

"Oh Kagura, I have a plan, one that you will enjoy thoroughly. MUHHAHAHA!"

"AND WILL YOU STOP WITH THE SUCKY LAUGH ALREADY? IT'S REALLY GETTING ON MY NERVES," she yelled irritably.
