Chapter 6: Abduction

Clutching the book tightly to her chest, she wiped the remainder of the tears off her face. She sniffled slightly, as she stood on shaky legs. Her mind was reeling after looking at the pictures. It hurt so much. She needed to be near him, to be in his arms as he comforted her and told her everything would be alright in the end.

She opened the door to her room and walked out, closing it behind her with a soft click. She headed down the stairs, more out of practice than of attention, her mind going back to the pictures. But what had puzzled her the most, was the book itself. She could've sworn...

She reached the bottom of the landing, and walked through the kitchen to the front door. Slipping on her shoes, she left the house via the door, and slowly began to cross the large yard to the small wellhouse. Her fingers tightened uncosciously around the edges of the velvety book, as she continued to make her way along the path.

She paused momentarily infront of the giant tree amidst the pavement. Goshinoboku. Every time she said the word, a weird feeling would pass over her, one of rememberance, soon followed by one of frustration due to not being able to recognize its worth. She touched the bark softly with the pads of her fingers, her body still parallel to the wellhouse. She pulled her hand away slowly and held it close to her heart.

An overwhelming sense of dread filled her, although she knew not why. Her brows furrowing in thought, she lowered her head slightly as she resumed walking. She couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong, deathly wrong. She reached the wooden door and slid it open with a small creak. The well waited below her, beckoning her, calling her to it, and she obeyed, silently walking down the small steps to its edge.

She clutched the book for dear life, as she stood up on the edge. She knew the well would work, granted, but common sense screamed at her not to jump. She squeezed her eyes shut as she took a teep breath and held it, walking off the edge to the floor below.

A few seconds passed, and she opened one eye cautiously to find herself floating through space once again. She breathed out in relief, as she visibly relaxed, her knuckles returning to the proper colour.

Landing on solid ground, she looked up to the clear, crystal blue sky above her head. A few smal clouds were scattered across the amount of sky she could see, and a small smile graced her angelic features.

She hooked the book under her one arm, as she alternated using her free arm and legs to climb to the top of the well. Grasping at the vines, she hauled herself over the edge, falling slightly off balance. She stumbled onto her feet, her head still down, before catching her balance.

She walked a few steps, before raising her head and stopping her movement. InuYasha stood infront of her, yet...yet, she knew...something was wrong. She narrowed her eyes at him slightly, as her lips parted, barely noticeable, as she leaned her head to one side.

His silver hair flowed in the slight breeze, his sleeves swaying softly with the winds. His amber eyes pierced her own warm, brown ones, and she shifted a bit uncomfortably. It looked like him, no flaws in the outer appearance. But his eyes looked so different. They looked hollow, filled with sorrow and pain, so unlike the loving and tender ones she had seen so short ago.

He walked towards her with a steady, yet leisurely pace, and she found herself unconsciously taking a hesitant step backwards towards the well. She watched as his eyes never left hers, as if holding her in an invisible bond, keeping her from moving. His feet brushed the grass underneath, and she heard the soft swishing movements, as he stopped right infront of her, well within personal boundaries. Not that she really cared at the moment. Her body filled with inexplicable desires at the close proximity, and she found it hard to breathe, let alone form any intelligible words.

When she finally opened her mouth slightly to say something, her brought his hands abruptly to the sides of her face, and locked his lips over her own. She froze as he pressed against her. Her mind told her to run, but her heart beated fastly within her chest. She brushed off her instincts as her body melted into his touch. His tongue licked her lips and she gasped slightly, as he removed his lips from hers and began to trail butterfly kisses down the side of her face, and eventually neck.

She leaned her head to the side to grant him access as his hands went to her back, rubbing in small circular motions. Her eyes fluttered close as her breathing became deep and even under his ministrations. But...no matter how she tried, she simply couldn't deny the feeling that something wasn't right. She frowned in disappointment, as she gently placed her hands on his chest and pushed him away slowly. But he wouldn't move. She tried again but he remained, still kissing her, oblivious to her struggle.

"InuYasha..." she breathed, "stop. Please stop, something's wrong," she whispered, her voice shaky.

She felt his hands tighten around her waist and she winced. His claws broke skin, and she felt a warm liquid drip onto her stomach. She began to panic, and tried to push him away more and more, the struggle causing his claws to embedd themselves deeper in her flesh. She let out a cough, that was a mixture of tears, as she begged him to let her go.

"InuYasha! Please, let me go...you're hurting me!"

He didn't move, his head resting on her shoulder. She felt him turn it so that her neck was now vulnerable. His tongue collided with her skin, as a burning sensation ran through her body at his touch. She closed her eyes and swallowed hard, she knew she still needed to get away. This wasn't him, this wasn't her InuYasha.

One hand left her waist, as it slowly slid up her back, the other still holding her firmly in place. The remaining hand pressed her against his chest, and held her fast as the free one slowly reached her neck.

She buried her head in his shoulder as she fought back the tears. She had wanted to kiss him, yes, but not like this. She wanted her first kiss to be full of love and emotion, not of lust and crazed desire. She was beginning to seriously doubt her safety.

Her eyes shot open as her soft lips parted in a silent scream, as a sharp pain resounded through her body. Her neck throbbed in pain, and she tried to lift a hand to reach it, but he growled and held her still. She cried out as the object dove deeper into her skin, as if a small nail was being drilled into her flesh. He stopped pushing, but the pain remained, as she fell against him limply.

He let her go, and she fell to the ground on her knees, beads of sweat trailing down her forehead as she struggled to remain awake. She lifted her head shakily, with a great struggle as her energy slowly began to fade. But what she saw disturbed her. As her head lifted from the ground, she didn't see the red leg of his pant, rather a dark one. She continued to raise her head, meeting the white fur of a pelt, and continued until she was looking at his face. A man with black hair, and red eyes was looking down on her, his eyes narrowed as a triumphant smirk played on his demonic face.

Her eyes widened as another flow of memories came to her. Memories of the past, of all she had forgotten. Memories of laughter, tears, pain, hardships and much more, with all her friends...and enemies. She saw Sango's face and Miroku's, Shippo's, Kilala's, and she knew them all. She knew who they were! Tears of joy came to her as she regained more and more of her lost memories in mere seconds.

But they were soon of no importance, her greatest obstacle standing infront of her. He had deceived her as well, taking advantage of her love and trust. Her eyes narrowed in disgust, as her vision began to cloud up in a sea of black. Her breathing became heavy and laboured, as she fought to stay conscious.

She took a breath, and whispered her name, before darkness consumed her in a deadly veil, falling on the ground lifeless.

"Naraku..."
