A New Slave
~*~Chapter 7 Start! ~*~

~*~Last Time~*~

Sayuri was looking at the water, and Inuyasha then opened his eyes and smiled at her, he stood up and stretched a bit. He then stood up, and helped Sayuri up, and then took his red haori top back, and placed it back on. Her scent of passionflowers and freesia was wrapped his haori. He smiled a bit. Sayuri then walked over to the entrance to the forest.

Soon two clawed hands went around her mouth, and soon placed a cloth over her nose and she inhaled sleeping fumes, soon falling into figure arms.

"I have her now, you shall never see her again Inuyasha." A dark voice whispered and soon the figure and Sayuri disappeared.

~*~This Time~*~

Inuyasha's nose then sniffed the air, and he scented a dark presence, but didn't smell Sayuri. Amber eyes widening slightly, he looked around. `Sayuri?' He thought, then turned around to where he last scented her. "Sayuri," He growled not smelling her. He ran quickly to where the others where, and skidded to a halt in front of them. "Has anyone here seen Sayuri?" He asked.

Shippou, who was currently chasing Miyako for a game until Sayuri and Inuyasha had returned, stopped and looked at Inuyasha. "I haven't seen her." He said, standing up straight. "I thought she was still with you." He said.

Sango blinked, then placed a small bowl of rice she was eating down, and wiped off her mouth gently and stood up, picking up her boomerang, Hiraikotsu, and placed it behind her. "It would seem that as though Sayuri has gone from us by some reason of force I'm expecting Inuyasha. For all of us have not seen her either." Sango said. She was in her demon exterminator's outfit, then looked down at Miroku. "Miroku, let's aid Inuyasha to search for Sayuri." She said.

Miroku nodded, then stood up, and looked at Kilala and the two small children. "Kilala, will you take care of these two while we search?" He asked. Knowing that if Kilala were with them, they would be alot safer.

Kilala nodded, soon transforming into her larger demon form. Kneeling down, she felt a small body, and a bit bigger body gets onto her back. Kilala stood up then roared and flew off into the air; she would stay behind the group.

Inuyasha narrowed his eyes `She was kidnapped? Why didn't that damned wench struggle or show where she was?' He thought, then nodded. "Let's go!" He growled, then began to run off, bursting at his full speed.

Miroku and Sango ran behind Inuyasha, coughing a bit at the small dust clouds he left them with. Miroku then looked up at the sky, then back to Inuyasha. `So, does he really care about her?' He thought. Sango smiled a bit, `I knew he cared about her.' She thought, and followed after Inuyasha.

*~*Naraku's Castle*~*

A groan came from a body lying on the side, cold and hard, what was this? Ice blue eyes opened a bit, and blurring a bit, then soon adjusting to the darkness, Sayuri tried to move her arms. Finding her wrists tightly bound; she went to move her legs, and found her ankles bound as well. Moving her right elbow, and propping herself up on it, looking around her eyes softened slightly, to get use to the darkness lighting. Moving her feet, she soon was sitting on her butt she sighed softly.

Reclining against the cold wall, she looked around. The room she was in was very damp feeling, that telling her right away it was underground. Looking upwards, than to each side, all she noted was that the walls were slightly mossy and moist looking. Closing her eyes a moment, she noticed the faint "drip" "drop" "drip" of water droplets falling from the ceiling to the floor.

Soon, she remembered what happened. She was in the forest, going to get a bath in the hot springs, she then felt some person come behind her, and place the cloth over her nose. Her eyes narrowed, `That freak!' She thought, then looked over to a small figure she saw, it was a door. She went to move her hands, but they were chained to the wall. She sighed in exasperation and looked down at the ground. "Where am I?" She asked herself softly.

"Why, here, in my castle" called out an eerily cold voice to her left. She hadn't even heard the wooden door creak open. Either this guy was very quiet, or he was some insane psychopath who could vanish and reappear at will. Snapping her head in his direction, she narrowed her eyes.

"Who are you?" She called out with a tone almost like a growl.

Before her stood what seemed like a man dressed in lord's clothing. But upon closer inspection, she saw that he wasn't a human or an insane psychopath, but a demon.

His cobalt colored hair contrasted greatly against his navy blue clothes. His crimson red eyes seemed to pierce straight through her soul. The once dark room became suddenly engulfed in light as he opened the door fully, causing her to turn her head away and try to block out the bright rays.

Hearing him chuckles deeply, she blinked. `How can he, an insane demon, be a lord?' She thought. Then heard the man talk. "Why I, my dear, am Naraku." He said. Standing back so to avoid any damage she might have caused him, he then put out his hand, and grasped her chin roughly, making her look at him. "And you will do anything I tell you to, or your friends will suffer greatly." He whispered, malice dripping in his tone.

"I will NEVER listen to you NARAKU!" She said, in a growling tone, then spat on his face, disgusted with him. He held her chin roughly, and then used his sleeve to wipe away the spit. The same evil smile he had never leaving his lips.

"You will learn my ways and listen to me." Naraku said, "You will." He said, then let go of her chin, and soon disappeared into the darkened shadows.

Sayuri narrowed her eyes as the light shined on her face, her head tilted down slightly, and her eyes were shining in the light. `You can kill me if you want Naraku. I will die before I listen to you.' She thought.

`You will be put through the roughest training of your life Sayuri, and, you will obey me.' Naraku thought, looking at his hands.

~*~That Night, With Inuyasha and The Others~*~

Sango, Miroku, and the others had helped them set up a camp. All except for Inuyasha, who had muttered about humans being too weak and was currently sitting up in a tree, just looking out to the sun.

Sango looked up at Inuyasha, then back at the small fire they had started. `Sayuri, in this short amount of time with us, you have made Inuyasha worry about you, I worry, are you alright?' She asked herself in though, then placed some more wood into the fire and sighed a bit, then, began to pass some fish to the others.

Miyako was sitting beside Shippou, wondering who would have taken Sayuri. She knew that herself or Inuyasha since they were hanyou's could have smelt whom taken her, but they didn't smell anything but Inuyasha was following her scent, and Miyako knew that. She took the fish, and soon ate it, after that, she snuggled against Shippou, and fell into a light sleep.

Miroku looked at Sango, then smiled a bit, and then looked up at Inuyasha, then back at the ground. `He has been sitting there ever since we told him we were making a camp.' He thought, then picked up a fish, and began to eat, normally Inuyasha would have been waiting for the fish to finish, but he didn't even seem to care.

Shippou looked at Miyako, and smiled, wrapping his tail around her. He then ate a fish, and soon finished, closing his eyes, he rested against a tree, holding Miyako and soon falling asleep.

Kilala was already resting, lying in Sango's lap, and she was snuggled to the demon slayer. Who was now asleep? Sango's hand rested on Kilala's back as she slept, snuggled up to Miroku.

Miroku held Sango, and soon placed his head atop of hers, and fell into a light sleep, his hands around Sango's waist.

Inuyasha was staring up at the moon, worrying and thinking about Sayuri. He sighed a bit and then closed his eyes, deep in thought. He was worried over a human, he just hoped he was all right. He didn't want to eat, because, Sayuri wasn't there to enjoy it with. He really was missing her, but he just wanted to see her. He looked up at the sky, seeing Sayuri's face on the moon he sighed. Then soon closed his eyes, and fell into a light sleep.

~*~Naraku's Castle~*~

Sayuri had been moved to her own room, and she sat alone, and was worrying about the others. She hoped that Naraku would not touch them, because if he did, even the god above would be sorry for him. Sayuri had been changed, she was now wearing a white top with no sleeves, plus baggy black pants, the same ones she had been wearing early. She sighed softly, "Inuyasha, please protect the others while I am gone." She whispered and soon closed her eyes, falling into a light sleep.

Naraku watched her from Kanna's mirror, and smirked a bit. He then looked out a window that sat beside him. "So, she has one weakness." He muttered. `That weakness is her friends.' He thought, knowing that after the intenseness training course he would soon put her through, she would quickly want to be back with her friends.

~*~Back At The Camp~*~

Inuyasha's nose twitched slightly, and his eyes opened, it was still night. He then scented it, a small scent. It was Sayuri's scent, very faint, and he inhaled, the scent flaring into his nostrils, soon it disappeared but was still stuck in his nose. `Sayuri.' He thought, and closed his eyes, resting against the back of the tree. He did not smell any blood or injuries in the scent, so he knew for now, that she was all right. He yawned softly and went back to sleep. Little did he know that Sayuri was dreaming of Inuyasha right there and then? A small smile soon rested on her face. `I finally know where I belong.' Sayuri thought, and snuggled to the bed she was laying on, falling into a deeper sleep.
