Chapter10: Whereare you?

Sitting on one of the branches of a tree that lined the clearing, Inuyasha looked down at the fire that burned just below and the Monk that sat near it, probably sleeping but if he was asked about it he would surely say that he was meditating. Deciding that he was better off not inquiring as to what or why the Monk was doing what he was doing, he turned his attention to the area around him.

Using his senses he listened intently for anything that may appear to be out of place, but hearing nothing he relaxed just a little. Of course he wouldn't relax any more than he already was until Kagome was back with in his sight. If he had or knew what a watch was he would've looked down and checked the time, but instead he made a mental note of the time that the girls left and how much time he would give them before he went down there and dragged Kagome back by the scruff of her neck.

Just the thought of her made him smile slightly. He still couldn't believe that all the things that his mother told him years ago were coming to pass. He had found her, his princess the girl that would play with him whenever and wherever he wanted to. The more he thought about it the more it made sense to him. `Why didn't I notice it before? She had been slowly acting more and more like me…well not the really bad things, thank Kami, but she has been cursing more…is that a good thing?' That thought made him flinch he didn't want her speaking the way he spoke, after all when ever he said what she called curse words she would always chastise him.

`I've got to put a stop to that immediately I can't have my mate, talking like she some smut mouthed commoner,' he frowned. `She hasn't even `sat' me in like 3 months or so. That's right the female can't punish the dominant mate! This can't be really happening, did she really choose me? But why would she, I have nothing to offer, nothing!' Shaking his head to try and clear the thoughts he looked in the direction of the river. He missed her already and she was less than a 100 yards away from him, gone not even 10 minutes yet. His patience got the best of him and he jumped down from the tree, landing a few feet from the monk in a crotched position.

“Oi, so how long has if been?” Inuyasha asked in a whispery sneaky voice as if he was afraid someone would hear him.

Peeking through one eye at the hanyou, Miroku answered calmly, “Patience Inuyasha, your lady love will be returning soon.”

“Keh”, he hissed. Standing up abruptly he folded his arms in front of him and stuck his nose in the air.

Forgetting that he was suppose to be meditating the monk looked up at his friend and shaked his head. He had always gotten such a kick out of irritating the hanyou, especially when it had something to do with Kagome. Knowing that he shouldn't tempt fate and intrude on his thoughts about the Miko, Miroku smiled then blurted, “so how many times a day do you think about her?”

Lowering his head he stared at his companion for a moment wondering, `what in the hell is he talking about? Think about who?'

As if reading his mind the monk explained, “Kagome…how often do you think about her…how many times in a day does she run through your mind?”

With one eyebrow raised Inuyasha stared at Miroku, it wasn't that he didn't want to answer the question, he couldn't. How could he explain that there was never a moment that passed when his mind wasn't on Kagome? How could he explain that he can't remember what he thought about before she came into his life? How could he explain that if she ever left him or if something happened to her he would no doubt go insane. Even if he had an answer for any of these questions he decided he wouldn't tell the monk, so instead he replied, “feh' and leaped back into his tree to wait for a sign of Kagome's return.

“How rude.” Miroku stated as he folded his arms in front of him and looked off in the direction of where the girls went. `Maybe I should go check on them, after all Shippo is just a kid and Kirara…well I can't say anything about her, but just maybe I can sneak down there and get a glimpse.' Immediately after that thought the monk berated himself. He was supposed to be showing Sango that he was a changed man, and surely sneaking down there would do nothing but push her further from him. Bringing his hand up he slapped his forehead repeatedly while hissing, “hentai, hentai, hentai.”

Watching this, Inuyasha smirked wondering just what the monk was so riled up about. Knowing that it had to have something to do with Sango he yelled in an annoying voice, “Patience Miroku, your lady love should be returning shortly” mimicking what he had said to him only a few minutes earlier.

Blushing a little the monk stood from where he was sitting, “Inuyasha maybe we should go check on the girls, they have been gone for sometime now.” Knowing that this would not only allow him to get a peek at the bathing girls but also get the unwanted attention from the hanyou off of him. Of course if they got yelled at for coming down to the river he would with out a doubt blame it on the impatient Hanyou.

Leaping back down from the tree, Inuyasha landed directly in front of Miroku, who was now dusting himself off. Eyeing him as if he was looking for some sign of deception he asked, “what are you up to bouzu?”

Trying to fain innocence he responded rather nonchalantly, “Why nothing my friend, I just feel that we should check on the girls…after all Jouyoku is still at large is he not?” Knowing that the mention of the demon would get the hanyou more than a little riled up Miroku turned and began to walk in the direction of the river.

“Alright” Inuyasha snapped trailing the other mail, “but if we get yelled at, I'm pointing the finger at you!”

“That's fine, let's just hurry” Miroku responded as his face started to heat up from just the thought of seeing naked wet women flopping around in the river while being bathed in the moon light.

The half demon didn't have a good feeling about this, he knew that he was probably going to end up getting `sat' a million times for coming down to the river. Glancing over at the monk with out turning his head he noticed the blush on his cheeks and the glossy shine to his eyes, `fuck' Inuyasha yelled in his head realizing now just what the Monk was up to and the fact that he had included him in his little perverted games. `Fucking hentai monk, always doing this dumb shit! I knew it couldn't have been long enough…if I get `sat' I swear I'm going to shove Tetsusaiga so far up his…' his thought were interrupted by the sound of Miroku's voice.

“Inuyasha, look!” He said stopping mid stride and pointing to the ground in front of them.

Looking at what Miroku was pointing at his eyes grew to size of ripe plums, “isn't that Kagome's stuff?” he asked while walking over to where the items were either thrown or dropped. Picking up the soaps and the towel he sniffed it making sure that it was her scent, which was rather stupid since no one else from his time had ever used or heard of the things she bathed with. Looking around him he listened intently for the river which he did hear in the near distance but there was no splashing, no laughter, no giggling there was nothing but the river its self. `What the fuck happened here? Where's Kagome? Where's Sango?' He thought as he stood clutching the girl's personal items in his fist.

“Inuyasha” Miroku said as he walked up behind the Hanyou. He was scared to death that Jouyoku might have taken them, but for the life of him he could not say what he believed to be true. “Where are Shippo and Kirara?” He continued as he placed a hand on his friends shoulder, knowing that if it were Jouyoku that took them he would have no need to take the two smaller Youkai with him.

Looking around the small clearing again and back down at the things he now held in his hand, he could feel his heart breaking, he felt as if a part of him was being pulled further away from him. He tried to pick up a scent any scent but all he could smell was mud. How was he supposed to save her if he couldn't catch the scent of the one who took her? What direction was he supposed to check first and how far should he go, what if he went right and she was left? He felt like his world was crashing down around him, his head started to feel light and his heart started to beat rapidly.

He fought to keep the next thought out of his head, he refused to believe that, that lust bag could have so easily taken her, and right under his nose! `I was right here! How could anybody just take from me like that?' At that moment he was thoroughly disgusted with himself, turning his head upward and into the night he whispered, “Kagome, please fight.”

Simonkal of Inuy

She was running as fast as she could through the forest, the fog around her was so thick she could barely see in front of her. She didn't know how she had gotten away but she did. `Where's Sango?' She thought as she stopped running to check her surroundings, `did I leave her behind? Shaking her head she continued her thought, `No…I would never leave her behind, so where is she?' She dismissed those thoughts since right now she couldn't deal with the truth of what may have happened to Sango.

Hearing voices coming from behind her, she started running again this time faster and harder than she had ever run before, she wasn't going to let them catch her, she was going to get back to Inuyasha and he would make them pay for what they did…he would make them pay. Focusing her eyes as hard as he could in front of her she thought she saw a streak of red and silver a few yards away, `Inuyasha…he's looking for me.' She thought happily as tears started to stream down her face. Pushing her self harder she ran straight into something hard. “Let me go, leave me alone!” she shouted as she pounded the unseen person with her tiny fist as hard as she could.

Who ever it was did not respond, instead he pulled her to him so that her body was pressed flush against his. Wrapping his arms around her he shushed her as if she was a child.

Not knowing what to do or who was hugging her she opened her eyes to see that her head was laying against something red, glancing slowly up she saw silver, `Inuyasha…Oh please dear Kami let it be Inuyasha' she thought as she pulled her head away from him so that she could look directly in his face. Staring back at her, she saw two gold orbs that were filled with so much love and compassion she almost forgot that she was being chased. She felt safe now, her hanyou was there and he would make this right. “Inuyasha.” She said as she started to openly weep in his arms.

Placing her head back against his chest she heard him whisper, “Kagome…fight.”

Stepping back to look at him fully now she watched him begin to fade. She tried to reach for him, to grab his haori, but her hands went right through him, “what's happening? Don't leave me Inuyasha…please don't leave me…I can't fight them on my own…please!” She cried as she fell to her knees in front of the transparent figure. Her small body shook with sobs as she watched the last resemblance of the her hanyou, her indestructible force of nature disappear right in front of her face taking with him the fog then the forest, leaving her to sit alone in the darkness.

“Ow” she hissed as she slowly opened her eyes, `that must have been a dream, Inuyasha would have never left me' she thought as she rubbed the back of her head. Pushing her self up off the cold hard ground that she was now laying on she tried to figure out where she was, but almost immediately noticed that it was impossible since the room was so dark she couldn't see her hand in front of her face. She knew it had to be a room because there was a door and through the edges of the door a small amount of light was filtering in, but even that was blurry. Hearing something in the corner behind her she jumped and scrambled to the opposite corner, “who's there?” she whispered as she pulled her knees to her chest. Sitting there she couldn't help but wonder where she was. The last thing she remembered was talking to her friend about Inuyasha. “Sango…” she whispered as tears started to come to her eyes.

“Ka…Kag…”

`That sounded like Sango,' Kagome thought franticly as she tried to figure out where the voice came from. “Sango, is that you?” She whispered.

“Ka…Kagome”

Crawling towards the voice she bumped into something on the floor. Pushing herself back so that her legs were bent under her, she stuck out her hand and carefully touched the thing blocking her way. Squeezing gently while moving her hand upward she thought to her self, `this must be her knee…her thigh…stomach…oh, it soft and squishy, oh my… that's her breast…'

Interrupting her thought Sango weakly giggled, “Kagome…your beginning to act like Miroku.”

Feeling her way up to a friends' head she gently lifted it and placed it in her lap, “hey, are you okay?” she whispered.

“Yeah, but my head feels like somebody was dancing on it. Where are we, and what happened? I remember walking to the river and you telling me about Kikyo but I really don't remember anything else. What happened?”

“Sango, we were kidnapped. I don't know where we are or who has us, but we have to find a way out of here, are you strong enough to move if you had to?”

Pushing her self-up she said, “Yeah, just give me a minute to regain my bearings, okay?” Feeling around her on the floor she continued, “is Kirara and Shippo here?”

“No, I don't think so, I wonder what happened to them.” Looking towards the door Kagome whispered, “Shhhhh, I think someone's coming.”

Hearing the lock on the door snap open the girls huddled together not knowing what or who was going to be coming through it. Staring at the door she saw a mans shape appear, she couldn't see his face because of how dark the room was, but she knew he could see them very well since it seemed that the little bit of light that illuminated the hallway was now focused directly on her and Sango.

“So you're both awake.” He stated as he stepped just inside the door.

“Who are you and what do you want with us!” Kagome screamed as she released her hold on Sango. She didn't know where the surge of energy and bravery came from, but she was thankful because just maybe this meant that she would also have the strength to do what she needed to if the chance to escape presented itself.

“Oh, don't you worry your pretty little head, you'll find out soon enough.” He hissed, taking another step forward he continued, “Your such a feisty little thing…I sure hope you're the same way in the sack, because I know some people that will pay a lot of money for you.”

Standing rather abruptly she couldn't believing what this man was insinuating, “You're going to sell us! Why you obnoxious ass hole just who in the hell do you think you are? You can't just go around kidnapping women and selling them like we're pieces of furniture! Just who in the hell do you think you are?” The pissed off miko spat out, balling her tiny fist up at her side.

“I'm the one that so easily kidnapped you and the one that will be making a pretty penny off your head, that's who I am. Now I don't like to bruise the merchandise so please calm down before you force me to do something that I hate.” The man answered smirking.

“Save me the chivalry, you moron!” She hissed smirking back, “you really don't know who you've kidnapped do you?” Staring at the man in front of her she watched him look at her then Sango and back to her, she knew he was trying to figure out just who she was. Of course this sent Kagome into a light almost sadistic giggle.

Stepping back the man said, “it really doesn't matter since you and your friend there will be sold by morning and out of my hair.”

Pushing herself up into a standing position, Sango walked forward to stand beside her friend. She understood or thought she understood what Kagome was trying to do. While she was listening to her rip into the man, she looked on in awe; she had never seen the miko be so forceful and intimidating. She showed no fear, it was almost to the point of recklessness, but it also reminded her of certain hanyou. Tilting her head to the side the slayer stared at the man, “before morning your head will be sitting on a spick, you jack ass!”

This got the man's attention, whom had he really kidnapped. `Are these women royalty? Their not dressed like royalty, but they were on there way to the river, perhaps for a bath…wait a minute they had two little demons with them, surely they can't be talking about those two runts coming after us, after all we put so much of the sleeping potion on the tips of those darts their not going to wake up for another 4 hours. We were covered in mud to, so that we could mask any scent that would be left behind. Surely their bluffing, just trying to scare me that's all.' He thought hesitantly as he wiped away the sweat that now beaded up on the back of his neck. Deciding that he liked the idea of them bluffing with him better than the thought of his body being separated from his head, he looked back up at the two women and laughed obnoxiously saying, “Please spare me the idle threats.” He was going to show these girls that he was in charge and they were not going to intimidate him, “Perhaps I should `test' out the merchandise first” he said as he used both his hands to palm Kagome and Sango's cheeks at the same time.

This is what she was waiting on, she didn't know exactly when she had come with a plan, but this was as good as any. `A little closer, come one…just a little more.' She thought as she felt his hand on her face, which utterly repulsed her in more ways than one, `no one but Inuyasha touches me like that you ass.' She screamed in her head. Glancing at the slayer out the corner of her eye she winked quickly. “You know you are really a moron!” Kagome shouted at the man as she brought her foot up with so much force that you would have thought she was kicking a soccer ball.

Upon contact with his genitals, he immediately bent over cupping the area that she had just kicked while releasing a loud scream that sounded more like a wounded dog than a man.

Seeing this Sango took action bringing her knee up, it connected with the man's face while she brought her elbow down on the back of his head successfully knocking him out. Looking down at the man now lying sprawled on the floor she spat in his face, “that's for touching me!” she snapped kicking him in his side.

“Come on let's get out of here!” Kagome said as she turned and headed for the door with Sango close behind. Her quick pace immediately slowed to a halt when she came face to face with a huge man now blocking the doorway, `shit!' She thought taking a hesitant step back.

“Just where in the hell do you think you two sluts are going?” The man asked with a grimace as he glanced down at his unconscious friend then back at the two women in front of him while cracking his knuckles and smiling sadistically.
