Chapter 27:


Mission Possible and Games That Go Wrong


It was well into the middle of the afternoon, and Kagome knew this because the heat had risen to the point that she and Rin were very much covered in sweat. She really hoped that when Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru did get around to rescuing them, that they brought lots of ice water.


Naraku had been holding them for nearly forty-eight hours now. In that forty-eight hours, he had beaten them, taunted them, and groped them. All of that, and not even a drink of water. Well, they could get water out of the toilet in the corner of the room if they were that desperate. Kagome shuddered at the thought. The situation hadn‘t gotten to that point…yet.


Just as Kagome was wondering when she would run out of things to think about to block out the horrible circumstances, Rin let out a terrible, low, whining noise, hopped to her feet, and began pacing.


“Where the hell are those two?!” she exclaimed, throwing her hands into the air. She whipped around to stare at Kagome, who wasn’t sure what she was supposed to say. Rin dropped her arms and let out the whining noise again as she plopped down in a heap on the floor.


“They’ll come, Rin. We need to stay positive.”


“I know, I know, but when? We’re in this God-forsaken place, locked in a room with no windows, no water, and no air conditioning. It’s like the seventh circle of hell!”


Kagome could feel the frustration rolling off Rin in waves. She had tried so hard not to think about all the things Rin had just unthinkingly ticked off. Now, as if a dam had broken, all the thoughts that she had pushed to the back of her mind rushed to the forefront. Her heart rate quickened and she felt hotter than ever, as if her skin was on fire. Only a half a minute later, her breathing became labored and she could see the blackness start to ooze its way into the corners of her vision.


She needed to be out of this room. She needed air. She needed Inuyasha.


Kagome leapt to her feet and marched to the door. In a fuzzy sort of way, she realized that Rin had sat up quickly and was watching her with a bewildered expression. She didn’t care, though. She grabbed the knob and pulled with all her might. After a few seconds, when her vision had almost completely gone and she realized that the knob wasn’t working, she started banging with her fists and kicking with what little bit of strength she had. She was so desperate, she didn’t notice that her hands were starting to bleed, or that she was sobbing so loudly that she could have woken the dead. She needed to get out, and she needed Inuyasha to take her away from this place.


All of a sudden, two hands clamped onto her shoulders and forced her backwards from the door. She didn’t put up much of a fight, as she was seconds away from either passing out or being sick. She was forced to back into a wall and as soon as she was pressed against it, the last bit of her strength gave way, and she slid down to the floor.


She could hear someone calling her name, but she couldn’t manage to calm her breathing enough to hear whoever it was. Kagome couldn’t make her tired eyes open. It wasn’t until she felt someone’s body press against hers that she could hear properly.


“Kagome! You have to calm down! Listen to me and copy my breathing.”


Kagome tried but couldn’t seem to mimic who she now knew was Rin. It just seemed to get worse as she remember that Inuyasha had asked her to do the same thing. She wanted him there with her. He was the only one who had ever been able to help her when she was like this. The though made her gasps harsher with newly sprung tears.


“Kagome…please!” begged Rin. “I don’t know what to do! Tell me what to do!”


Kagome didn’t know what to tell her. All she managed to get out was, “Inuyasha.” Even then, she wasn’t sure if Rin had been able to understand her through the labored gasps and the blubbery crying.


However, Rin had heard and understood Kagome. The only problem was, what in the world did it mean? Doing the only thing she could think of, she grabbed Kagome by the tops of her arms and gave her a little shake.


“Close your eyes!” she shouted at her.


Kagome barely heard the command. She had thought her eyes were closed. In a rare moment of clarity, she regained enough control to at least obey Rin’s request.


“Kagome, pretend that you’re at my house. Pretend that you’re in that big bed of Inuyasha’s that I know you love.”


Kagome felt Rin lay her on her side. She tried desperately to picture that image. She would have really loved it if that was, if fact, where she was at the moment. After trying for a few seconds, it started to become clear in her mind.


“Now picture Inuyasha there beside you. Picture what he would say to you.”


And, easier than she thought it would be, she did just that. In her little dream world, Inuyasha was there, lying beside her, stroking her cheek.


She could hear him asking her to calm down. She could feel his warmth beside her. She could feel the ghost of his breath skimming across her skin. He was there. They were together.


After Kagome’s breathing became normal again, she passed out, dead to the world. Rin, after making sure Kagome was not going to relapse, had a good cry of her own, and then tried to come up with a plan.


The sun had finally set, and Inuyasha couldn’t think of anything more beautiful than that. The reason being, he could finally stop sitting around and go find his angel.


They had decided that the cover of night was their best bet. Of course, Naraku wasn’t stupid, and he would probably expect them, but he didn’t know exactly when, so that was in their favor. Also, he had no idea that Sango and Miroku were with Inuyasha and his brother. That was a big plus for their team.


Hidden by the moonless sky and the thick shrubs that surrounded the abandoned warehouse, Inuyasha could barely make out the guards that were on all sides of the building. He was pretty sure that there were at least ten in total. It would be tricky, but they could do it. They would have to be quick and stealthy.


Normally, it would be next to impossible. However, they had Sango, and she had a big, wonderful bag of tricks. Given all the toys she carried with her, it would be exponentially easier for them than it would be for someone else.


As per the request from Naraku, he and his brother had brought the swords along with them. They didn’t plan on giving them up, as they were sure they wouldn’t get the girls back either way. However, it didn’t mean they wouldn’t come in handy if this little plan failed and they had no other choice. He caught a glimpse of the hilt of Sesshoumaru’s sword. It was strapped to his back. Inuyasha’s was still in the box in which Jacqueline had given it to him. He had it tucked into the duffle bag that was slung across his chest, and he tightened the strap as tight as it would go.


Sango made her way over to him from her own hiding spot in the bushes. She handed him an earpiece, and he placed it in his right ear.


“Check,” whispered Sango, and he gave her a nod to indicate that he could hear her loud and clear.


“There are twelve of them,” came Miroku’s voice only moments later. “Three on each side of the building. If we take each side by itself, it should work. As long as we don’t make much noise, the others won’t know what’s going on until it’s too late.”


“What about cameras?” inquired Sesshoumaru.


“I took care of those,” replied Sango. “They are now on a twenty minute loop. As long as he doesn’t call one of them and their radios to come inside, he won’t be able to tell the difference.”


“Miroku, we’ll follow your lead.”


“Okay, let’s get this show on the road,” Miroku said before slinking into the open.


& #8220;I figured they would have shown their idiotic faces by now,” came a sinister draw. “I wonder if they have forgotten about you.”


Rin sneered as she watched Naraku’s gaze travel the length of her body. “Hardly,” she replied in a tone that almost sounded like a clone of Sesshoumaru.


Kagome kept her head down and prayed that he would keep his attention on Rin, the stronger of the two at the moment, and not say or do anything to her. She wasn’t sure if she would crack again. She had felt awful about it after she had woken up. Rin had assured her that she didn’t mind, and that it could happen to anyone, but that wasn’t what it felt like.


“You’re a little quiet.” His voice made her cringe. She ignored him and hoped against all hope that he would just let it slide. However, her wish wasn’t in the cards.


“Aww…have you given up? It really is a pity. Did he make you think he loved you and now has left you in my capable hands?”


Kagome clenched her hands into her shirt and bit her lip, trying not to rise to the provocation.


“If love is what you want, I can help you with that,” Naraku purred as he gently pushed her hair over her shoulder. Kagome shuddered with disgust.


“Don’t touch me,” Kagome mumbled as she leaned away from him.


He never even acknowledged that she had spoken. He only leaned closer and let his hand trail down her arm and leg only to stop on her knee. He gently squeezed and she cringed, closing her eyes as tight as they would go, pretending she was somewhere else all together.


“I said don’t touch me,” she growled, and then sent him her best death glare.


He smirked. “There it is. There’s that fire that I am so enthralled with. I knew you hadn’t lost it. I haven’t broken you, yet. That will come much later. I’m not finished playing with you, after all,” he said as he licked his lips and stared at a few key areas of her body. Kagome felt bile rise to the top of her throat.


He walked away from her to pick up a pocket watch that was on one of the very rickety looking tables in the room.


“Hmmm…They really are planning on leaving you here, I think. As much as I like those swords, I’m beginning to think that your little boys like them more.”


Just as Rin was about to retort, there was a static sound from the walkie-talkie on which the pocket watch rested. Naraku looked at it for a moment, expecting someone to hit the button again, but no one ever did. He shrugged and sauntered back to the two women who were bound hands and feet on the ground.


“How about we play a little game while we wait, hmmm? I’ll say something I know about you, and you tell me if I have it correct. Who’s first?”


Rin rolled her eyes and scoffed and Kagome continued to keep her head down.


“Alright, I’ll choose…you,” he exclaimed as he pointed at Rin. “You’ll be first.” Rin continued to stare at him as if to say ‘You are the dirt beneath my shoes,’ but Naraku never paid her narrowed eyes any consideration.


He walked around for a bit, stroking his chin with his long, bony fingers. Just as Rin thought he might have forgotten about his little “game”, his eyes closed, and the corners of his lips turned up a fraction.


“You think you might be carrying that pretty boy’s child,” he said softly and then cackled as Rin faulted for a moment before going back to her narrow-eyed mask.


“I know I’m right. Why don’t you just give me the satisfaction of telling me it’s true. The whole time you’ve been here, your hands have been drifting to your stomach. But then, you move them away when you notice what you’re doing, as if you’re scolding yourself for hoping.”


As he spoke, he could see Rin’s jaw clench and unclench, trying to keep herself in check, obviously failing. His grin grew wider and wider with each word he spoke. He could also see that Kagome’s expression had gone from unfeeling to very horrified under her hair that was shading most of her face.


He got bored with the silence and the fact that he knew she wouldn’t answer. Finally he waved his hand and resumed his pacing.


“I guess I don’t need a verbal answer. I have obviously hit a nerve,” he said with barely restrained glee. “Now, for you,” he stated as he rounded on Kagome.


“I know many things about you. I know that your parents and younger brother died when you were very young. I know that you and your grandfather are estranged, for whatever reason. I know that one of Kagura’s men was once an admirer of yours.”


He barked in laughter at his strange joke.


“But those are all things that you can find from a bit of research,” he said as he sauntered towards her. “I can guess something else about you though, and I bet that I am very right.”


Kagome looked through her thick hair at her kidnapper. He smiled an evil, toothy smile when he saw the vulnerable look on her face.


“You slept with that cocky menace, Inuyasha,” he told her with a devilish stage whisper.


Kagome sucked in a breath and clawed at her legs.


“I knew it,” he howled, barely containing his laughter. “I knew you let him put his dirty hands on you. Every time I say his name you blush. When my man touched you before, you were scared shitless. Now, when I touch you, you act as if I’m touching something that doesn’t belong to me. I would even go so far as to say that he was your first!”


Kagome fisted her jeans tighter in her hands and tried not to whimper. How did he know these things? Was he that observant?


“Ha! I’m right!” he shouted. “Did he whisper sweet nothings in your ear until you were putty in his hands. Did he buy you nice things and tell you that you were beautiful.” He scoffed and rolled his eyes. “And you fell for it too; hook, line, and sinker. You are beautiful, but that’s not what he was thinking,” he said quietly as he slunk around her like a wolf playing with his prey. “He was thinking‘…damn, I’d like to get a piece of that pussy’.”


Naraku laughed and watched her squirm on the floor at his feet.


“You really did think he loved you, didn’t you?” he asked with malice in his voice. “He never loved you. He just wanted to get into your panties. And it worked, too.”


“SHUT UP!!!” Kagome screamed at him, tears brimming over her lashes. “Just shut up! You think you can do anything you want, don’t you? You think you can say and do whatever, and that you’ll always get away with it. You are the most cocky, arrogant son-of-a-bitch I have ever met. What the hell is with you and those sword, anyway?” she went on, feeling a little of her bravery come back. “I have never seen anyone so obsessed with something so stupid. What is it, you slimy worm? Are you trying to compensate for something?” she sneered.


Naraku clenched his teeth and walked toward her with purpose. Kagome barely had time to try and bring her hands up before he had backhanded her so hard she saw stars.


“You stupid bitch,” he growled. “What the hell do you know? Those swords are worth a fortune and I will have them. If I have to kill every last one of you, they will be mine!”


Kagome could barely hear Rin yelling and cursing him from her position. He was hovering over her so closely that she could fell his breath on her cheek. She squeaked when he grabbed a handful of hair and yanked her head back.


“How about I just kill you,” he ground out. “I bet your little lover boy wouldn’t even care. He’ll cast you aside once this is all over anyway. He cares about that sword much more than he cares about you!”


“That shows how extremely stupid you are, you fucking bastard.”


Naraku let his fingers slip from her hair and turned to face his newest arrivals, wondering why he chose such poorly skilled people as guards.


A/N: I’ve been MIA for a few months and I’m really sorry about that. We are starting to wrap it up, though. There will be one more chapter and an epilogue and it will be done. The next two will come out much faster than this one. I’m going on vacation until the 28th. As soon as I get back, I’m going to post the last chapter and start working on the epilogue. I hope you can forgive me for taking so long to post.

I tried to manually respond to reviews the last go around. It worked well until I got one that wasn’t a member of the site. If you would like a response from me, I’ll be glad to do it, even if you are not signed in. Just make sure that when you respond, you give me your e-mail address. And make sure that you use (dot) instead of . Otherwise, it won’t show up, even in an e-mail review. Here’s an example of what it should look like using my own e-mail.

Okay, now that that is out of the way, here’s the sneak peek:

Chapter 28:


The Rescue Party Arrives


“That shows how extremely stupid you are, you fucking bastard.”


Kagome’s neck snapped up so quickly, she would marvel later that it didn’t break. However, she wasn’t thinking about any of that now. All she could think about was the fact that he had come for her. This would be over with soon. She had no doubt that they would walk away from this unscathed. It never even occurred to her that he might fail.


This was Inuyasha. He would win.


Rin’s head spun in much the same way as Kagome’s had. She let out a sigh of relieve when she spotted her husband, standing so casually beside his brother. They locked eyes and she watched him look her form up and down, trying to access any damage to her person, she assumed. He must have been at least mildly satisfied with what he found, because instead of finding anger in his beautiful, golden eyes, she found relief. She was sure her gaze mirrored the same sort of emotion.
