Kagura and Kagome arrived at the illusterous castle. Kagome looked around. It was bigger and more beautiful than she could have ever imagined. Sesshoumaru walked out of the castle followed by his minion Jaken,

"You've returned, Kagura.", said Sesshoumaru.

"Yes. And I've brought the girl.", said Kagura.

"Good. Follow me.", Sesshoumaru ordered.

Kagome did as she was told and followed Sesshoumaru. She couldn't help but marvel at the castle,

"Keep up girl.", order Jaken, when Kagome fell behind, "Don't keep my master waiting."

"JAKEN!"

"Uh ... yes My Lord?"

"Leave her be."

"Yes, my Lord.", said Jaken a bit sadly.

Sesshoumaru led Kagome up a beautiful marble staircase. This castle was nothing like the Feudal Era Castles,

"This place is beautiful, Sesshoumaru."

"It belongs to my mother."

"Your mother? I thought it would belong to you since you are the Lord of the Western Lands.", said Kagome.

"I have no need for such things."

Sesshoumaru led Kagome to a door and they entered. Lying on the huge four poster bed was Rin. She was covered in spots and was very pale. Kagome rushed over to her,

"She's burning up with fever. I need some cool water.", said Kagome.

"Jaken!"

"Yes, my Lord?"

"You heard her. Fetch some water."

"Yes, my Lord.", said Jaken as he left the room.

Kagome took out some herbs and began to crush them with a mortar and pestal. When Jaken brought the water in, she dipped a rag in the water and rang it out, placing it on the young girl's forehead. She then proceeded to make a potion with the water and herbs.

"She's very ill. She has what is called measles. She's going to need this potion every few hours.", Kagome said, as she lifted Rin's head and helped her drink down the potion.

"Can you handle giving her the potion, Jaken?", asked Kagome.

"Me?", asked Jaken.

"You will take care of her.", ordered Sesshoumaru to Kagome.

Kagome looked at Sesshoumaru, "She needs constant supervision. I can't stay here.", she complained.

"You will stay here and you will care for her. My guards will not let you leave.", Sesshoumaru said again. With that said, Sesshoumaru turned around and walked out, followed by Jaken. Kagome heard a click as the door was locked.

Looking at Rin, she said quietly,

"I guess I'm stuck here until Inuyasha returns. He'll get me out."

Inuyasha finally arrived at the Northern Wolf Tribe den. Sniffing around, he was puzzled,

'Why don't I pick up their scent? No Ginta. Hakkaku or Takeshi.', he thought to himself.

"What is it you want?", he heard a voice say. The voice belonged to the elderly wolf that exited the den.

"I don't want a fight, old man. I'm looking for Ginta and Hakkaku. They stole my son.", said Inuyasha.

"He is not your son. He is Kouga's son. And he will be raised by the wolf tribe to take over as leader of the Eastern Tribe.", said the elder.

"Nuthin' doin' old man. I'm raising him. He may not be my son by blood but he's still my son. Where is he?", demanded Inuyasha.

"He is not here. And you will not find him."

"Oh yea? We'll see about that!", said Inuyasha defiantly.

"Do you plan to search the entire country, half-dog?"

"If I must, then yea. I'll keep searching until I find him."

"Then search if you must. I will not stop you. But, I promise you, you will not find him.", said the elder, turning to go back into the cave.

Inuyasha turned and left. He had to get back to Kagome. He knew she would be heartbroken but, he would promise her the same thing he promised the wolf. He would not rest until he found Takeshi.

Arriving back at the village a few days later, he was surprised to see the village up in arms, searching for somebody. Shippou ran and hopped on Inuyasha's shoulder,

"Inuyasha! Is she with you?", asked Shippou.

"Is who with me?", he responded back.

"Kagome."

"No. I left her here in the village. Why?"

"Because she's missing, Inuyasha.", said Miroku, coming up to his friend.

"Missing? Whaddya mean she's missing?", asked Inuyasha, starting to panic.

"The day after you left, we last saw her working in her garden. We never saw her again.", explained Miroku.

'Shit!', Inuyasha thought, 'First Takeshi and now Kagome.', "Shippou, where did her scent lead?", he asked the kitsune.

"Nowhere. That's what's strange. It stopped at the hut.", said Shippou.

"We figure who ever took her flew away.", said Sango

"Dammit!", cursed Inuyasha.

"Didn't you find Takeshi?", asked Miroku.

"No. The wolves have him hidden. How can I possibly search for both Kagome and Takeshi?", he said out loud.

Servants kept Kagome supplied with whatever she needed to keep Rin comfortable. As Rin started to recover, she was thrilled to see Kagome was there taking care of her. She gave Kagome a big hug,

"Thank you for caring for me Kagome.", said a grateful Rin.

"You're welcome, Rin. It was my pleasure.", Kagome lied. While she didn't mind caring for Rin, she did mind being held against her will.

Later that day, Sesshoumaru came in,

"Sesshoumaru. Now that Rin is feeling better, might I leave?"

Sesshoumaru didn't answer her. Instead he handed her a silk bag. Kagome opened it. Inside was a pretty necklace of peach colored pearls,

"I can't accept this.", she said, handing it back to him, "But thank you."

"Put it on.", he commanded.

Kagome gave a sigh of defeat and did as she was told. She admired the necklace and said,

"It's very pretty. Thank you. Now, may I leave?"

"No, you will not. Rin does not care for Kagura, even though I have taken her as my life mate. She does, however, like you. You will remain here and care for Rin and keep her company."

"Sesshoumaru! You can't keep me here against my will! Inuyasha will come for me. He and I are mates now.", she said angrily.

"Should he show up, I will kill him. You belong to me now, as my slave. I know you come from the future and that knowledge you have will help me greatly."

"I refuse to help you.", Kagome said, crossing her arms in defiance.

"That necklace will keep you from defying me. If you try to leave the castle grounds you will receive a nasty shock. Humans don't care for pain. My mother was very skilled in creating that necklace.", he said with a smug smile.

Kagome stared at the necklace around her neck. She tried to take it off, but like Inuyasha's subjugation necklace, it wouldn't move further than her chin. She looked at Sesshoumaru and started to cry,

"Why?", she said between sobs.

Sesshoumaru simply walked out of the room, leaving Kagome to her crying.
