I am so sorry for the long time it’s taken me to update I’ve had a lot of interference with my story writing and my attention has been elsewhere for a while so I apologise to all my fans… gomenasai! But here is the next chapter I’m trying to update as fast as I can… onto the next chapter :D


Chapter 26 – Walking Into A Known Trap


“Inuyasha when are we going to stop, we’ve been walking for seven hours already! I want a break!” Kagome growled.
“Keh.” Was his response, “what happened to the new and improved Kagome, you should be able to handle this; you have before so why not now?” He jabbed.
Kagome twitched, “Yeah I’ve done it before but not at YOUR speed for a constant SEVEN FREAKING HOURS!” she yelled making the demons in the group flinch.
“What the hell did ya yell for wench!” Inuyasha barked out.
“sorry guys I’m just really tired.” Kagome sighed as she dropped her bag, “we’re stopping for now Inuyasha.”
“Fine… whatever,” he mumbled as he jumped into a tree to sulk as usual.
“well now that that is settled I’ll make some dinner, it’s almost dusk anyways.” Kagome said and she started to prepare a fire.

Dinner proceeded as usual with gruff comments from Inuyasha and an unconscious monk; that was until Inuyasha decided to speak before thinking.
“Hey Kagome what the hell is this crap you’re feeding us?” Inuyasha scoffed.
“It was the kill YOU gave me to cook Inuyasha.” Kagome ground out through clenched teeth.
“It tastes like dog crap! What the hell did you do to it!” he said throwing it to the ground and wiping his mouth on his haori sleeve.
“I cooked it.” She stated simply
“You can’t even cook meat properly? How useless are you?!” Inuyasha barked.
“Now wait just a minute!” Kagome growled and she jumped to her feet, “you have no right to belittle my cooking when you burn everything you touch!” she hissed at him with narrow eyes.
“Keh, I have every right to tell you what I want; you’re just a woman.” Inuyasha spat out with a cocky arrogance, only to realise to late he had once again put his foot deeply embedded in his mouth.
Kagome stood there shaking with pent up rage, “Hold your tongue Half-breed.” The group turned surprised eyes to Sesshomaru.
“This has nothing to do with you bastard so butt out!” Inuyasha growled at him.
“Oh but it does dear brother,” he said brother with such venom it made the hair on Inuyasha’s arms stand on end.
“What do you think gives you the right huh!?” Inuyasha asked cockily.
“I am her sworn protector; I swore my oath to her last night after your disgraceful display.” Sesshomaru said with indifference as he watched for his brothers reaction, he was not disappointed.
“What the HELL!” the Hanyou snapped, “Why the fuck did you let him do that Kagome! You’re fucking BOUND to him now!”
“I know.” Was Kagome’s simple answer, but it threw the raging Hanyou into a fit on a much larger scale.
“WHAT!?” he asked turning to face her with wide eyes.
“I said, I know; I knew exactly what was going on when he swore the oath to me and I also know I have control over how far the bond goes.” She turned to Sesshomaru, “and if it breaks or stays whole.” Sesshomaru looked at Kagome and wondered at her hidden message but his thoughts were interrupted once again by a singular voice of his hated half brother.
“You KNEW and you STILL let him do it! I thought I was meant to be your protector not HIM!” Inuyasha shouted pointing and accusing finger at Sesshomaru.
“You?” Kagome couldn’t help the laugh that escaped her then, “how can you be my protector when you point the finger at me and accuse me of such terrible things out of nothing more than petty jealousy.” She hissed at him.
His ears flattened against his head and he was about to respond when laughter was heard from above.

“Well now… this is certainly interesting.” Kagura chuckled.
“What do you want Kagura, now is not the time.” Kagome said putting her hand on her hip and looking up at the amused wind witch.
“You sure seem to have your hands full miko.” She chuckled again, “so many delectable men to choose from.”
“Still doesn’t explain what you’re doing here.” Kagome said with an uninterested shrug.
“He wants to meet.” She said simply
“Excuse me?” Kagome said turning to Kagura with wide eyes.
“Naraku wants to meet with you.” Kagura turned and looked at the males, “Alone.”
A few minutes of silence ticked by before an eruption of “Hell no!” “Like hell!” “No way!” bombarded the group.
“GUYS SHUT UP!” Kagome yelled and the guys instantly stopped [AN: don’t you wish you could do that >.< I do!], “What does he want to talk with me about?” Kagome asked, her curiosity getting the better of her.
“I don’t know the full details but I do know it involves the trading of the human child.” Kagura said with a wave of her hand and Kagome’s heart leapt into her throat.
“He wants to trade something for Rin?” Kagome asked trying to take all this in.
“That is what I’ve been told.” Kagura said.
“If… and I do say IF I go through with this meeting,” the uproar started again at her mention of even thinking about it but was silenced with a glare, “as I said IF I do go through with this meeting, what will happen if I refuse?” Kagome asked.
“Ask him yourself.” Kagura said as she landed and only then did people notice the white haired girl Kana was with her.
“how am I meant to ask him myself if he is not here?” Kagome asked slightly confused.
“Oh but I am here Kagome.” came Naraku’s voice from Kana’s mirror as the blackness stretched and twisted into Naraku’s face.
“Naraku!” Inuyasha hissed.
“If I do decide to meet you, what will happen if I refuse what you request?” Kagome asked looking warily at the mirror.
“If you refuse my request then you will be free to leave and rejoin your friends and I keep the child, she is rather fun.” He said with a sadistic chuckle earning a growl from Sesshomaru and a rather good impression from Kagome.
“How do I know you will keep your word?” Kagome asked through clenched teeth.
“Ah… now that is easy to answer, you don’t.” he grinned, “You only have my word and the knowledge that if you do not come to meet me; this child will face worse terrors than she already has.” Naraku said as his face faded from view and his laughter dissipated.
“Well it’s about my time to leave, take heed to his words; he is serious about harming that child.” Kagura warned as she flew off.

“DAMN IT!” Kagome cursed as she punched a tree, shocking all member of the group. “That bastard!”
“What are we going to do Kagome?” Sango asked walking up to her friend.
“What the hell else can I do!? I’m going to meet with the sick bastard.” Kagome growled out.”like hell you are!” Inuyasha yelled as he started making his way towards her only to stumble back as a blur of white beat him to it and what happened next shocked all at the camp.
“You will not go!” Sesshomaru growled as he pinned her body to the tree with his own.
“I have no choice Sesshomaru!” Kagome replied.
“I will not allow you to go!” Sesshomaru simply stated.
“If I don’t go he will do unimaginable things to Rin! I have to! And I have to go alone!” Kagome yelled with tears streaming down her face.
Sesshomaru snapped, “HOW CAN I PROTECT YOU IF I AM NOT BESIDE YOU!?” he yelled. Kagome looked up at him with wide eyes, Sesshomaru never yelled… EVER!
Kagome sighed and lifted a hand to caress his cheek, “I know Sesshomaru,” she whispered, “but I have to do this, you know I have to.” She said tucking the hair that had fallen out of place in his outburst back into place behind his ear.”But it is a trap, we all know it is.” He whispered unconsciously leaning his head into her palm.
“I know it’s a trap Sesshomaru but if there is a small chance I can get Rin back I will take it.” She stated softly as she hugged him.
“I know you will Kagome… I know.” He said as he hugged her back.
