DISCLAIMER: I don't own Inuyasha or the movie…(darn Angela…)

Chapter 3 Kagome's kidnapped!

Tumichi's Hut

Inuyasha froze. The thought of being a father suddenly made him dizzy. He was overcome with happy and with sad. Why would any one be sad on such a joyous occasion? Well, for starters, Inuyasha realized that once Kagome had the child (or still bearing it with in her) demons all around would soon be a horrible threat to both Kagome and the child. Inuyasha would have to protect them both, risking his life in the process. With that horrible image (imagining a baby's head falling to the ground in bloody tatters) he turned to look at Kagome who slept soundly on the floor of the hut. In the corner sat Tumichi, the man who diagnosed Kagome and helped cure her wounds. Inuyasha stared at Kagome's beautiful face in the dark, and imagined what their child would look like (that is…if it were to survive..). Anyway, within the dark, Inuyasha could see that Kagome's face was wrung in pain, as if she was having a fit, or a nightmare. He wondered what it could be about, and he sat down beside her, stroking her hair. Moments went by, and soon inuyasha too fell deep asleep, with the tedious vision of Kagome's face covered in blood and tears, kept him twitching as he crept into dreamland.

Naraku's Castle

Naraku paced back and forth down the hall of his well-hidden castle. A very formidable plot was slowly going through his (very small) mind. Earlier through Kanna's mirror, Naraku was able to see that Kagome was now in fact, bearing Inuyasha's child, which meant more fun for him. (the jerk) Naraku kept thinking the same things over and over again, How to make Inuyasha suffer through yet another nightmare? Suddenly footsteps awakened Naraku's dream, and he turned to face Kagura, the wind sorceress.

"Naraku.." Kagura said dangerously, as if she knew what was on the demons mind, "what have you been plotting?"

Naraku chuckled and smiled, "nothing my dear Kagura, just more misery and woe…nothing you have to participate in if you don't wish too."

Kagura returned the smirk and said, "I told you before, I'm not interesting in helping you ruin yet another love life. Although I would gladly assist anything you have to do with Sesshomaru though…"

Naraku turned away from her and said in a deadly voice, "Sesshomaru? Why on earth would I ever want to interfere with him?"

And he left, leaving a very confused sorceress in his wake who thought what do you have on your mind Naraku? and she too left the hall.

Naraku headed down a flight of stairs and ended up in the courtyard. He began to picture his evil scheme inside his mind. It was to be gruesome, grotesque, and even a little …..barf like….(barf like? Guess I can't think of anything better to say, just that it will really suck) Ahem…It was to be gruesome, grotesques, and it will even suck…(AHHH nothing fits!! Oh well , back to story) As I was saying, Naraku contemplated on his newest trap to ensure Inuyasha and the others in. What would it be? After a while of thought, Naraku suddenly came up with a solution. Kill Kagome and the child. There was no other way. If Kagome was to give birth to the strongest of Hanyou's son, mixed in with a powerful Miko, who would to know what would happen…So it was settled. Naraku's dream was about to become reality.

Kaede's village

Shippo jumped up and down as Kagome and the others walked through the door of Kaede's hut. It was a week since they were there last, and Shippo was surely getting tired of hanging around an old bat all the time. He missed his "dad" Inuyasha and "mom" Kagome. At least, that was how he thought of them. (How sweet…) Any who, two days after Inuyasha and Kagome found out that she was pregnant, they decided to head back to the "honeymoon" castle. There they found a very worried demon-slayer and freaked out monk. Both were going senseless with Inuyasha's and Kagome's absence. The minute Kagome had woken up that day, Inuyasha hurriedly told her that she was bearing a child, and they embraced and kissed. (Yeah, yeah, all that good stuff…) However, once they told Sango and Miroku, they were both shocked and a little afraid. They too were thinking what Inuyasha was thinking. Kagome would soon be in danger.

"Inuyasha?" Miroku asked the night of their return, "are you sure you can keep Kagome out of harm?'

Inuyasha's ears perked up and said, "feh! Of course I will, when have I not?"

Miroku's face squinted as he thought of countless times when Kagome was kidnapped, "let's see…" Miroku started, "Kagome was kidnapped by Arasuye (can't spell. It's that demon that brought Kikyo {the bitch} back to life) and she was token the day after you met her by those bandits…oh lets see. Oh yeah, and she was captured by Koga, the wolf demon…then she was almost eaten by a tree for fertilizer…and had a curse placed upon her, countless times I might add, and of course, was kidnapped by Naraku. And Kikyo almost killed her. So…" Miroku stopped talking as he gazed at Inuyasha's face. He was sending Miroku a very nasty look of hatred that made even Shippo stop jumping.

Inuyasha quickly stood up and said in a very loud voice that woke up sleeping Kagome, "I will never let Naraku ever take Kagome again, understand?"

Miroku jumped at the tone in Inuyasha's voice. He seemed a little upset to say the least. Inuyasha's breathing became hard and shallow, which was full of anger at Miroku for making him look like a fool. Kagome noticed this from her "bed" and rose to lean on Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome whispered, "I know, as well as the others, that you will never let anyone harm me again. You know that don't you?"

Inuyasha pondered that then said in a definite voice, "yes, I do know that. It's just…" Inuyasha's voice cut. His throat became dry and he couldn't continue talking anymore, so he sat back down by Miroku and Sango and stared moodily into the flames. Kagome stood at her place a little longer then lay back down to rest. Moments went by and then finally someone said, "what smells?" Everyone looked to the speaker {Shippo} and shrugged.

Miroku soon smelt is as well and said, "GAH! What smells?" Sango covered her nose and said in a disgusted voice, "It smells like a giant dead demon."

Inuyasha shot up and ran outside. Sure enough, it was the scent of a demon. Miroku and Sango hurriedly came to Inuyasha's side and they peered at the sky, which were full of dark red clouds, and an evil aura.

"What could it be?" Sango asked wearily. Miroku shrugged and said it's probably a big demon war or something, but they should check it out anyway. Sango agreed but Inuyasha hesitated.

"Do you think this has anything to do with Naraku?" Inuyasha asked sadly, thinking back to the image of a dying Kagome.

Miroku turned to look at Inuyasha and said, "let's hope not…"

Sango nodded and Kagome walked out with Shippo by her side, "What's going on?"

Sango answered what Miroku had said.

"Maybe it has to do with Naraku!" Shippo said in wonder, which made Inuyasha and Kagome flinch.

No! Inuyasha thought it couldn't be Naraku! Not now…

In an instant, a big flash appeared in the sky, lighting the forest beside them up. Kaede too came out as the flash vanished. She said, "Aye! It indeed looks like the work of Naraku."

"The only way to find out is to check it out!" Inuyasha said, starting to run away from the hut. Over his shoulder he called out, "Kagome! Shippo! Stay with Kaede! It's for your safety!"

Kagome and Shippo nodded. As if they wanted to be endangered. Sango began to chase after Inuyasha, with Miroku on her heals. Miroku called out, "be back in a flash!" and soon they were gone.

Kaede walked back into the hut saying, "sleep child. In your condition you need plenty of rest."

Kagome nodded and she and Shippo went inside.

Naraku's castle

Laughter sounded throughout the halls of Naraku's mansion as he gazed upon Inuyasha's face through Kanna's mirror. Now was the excellent time to put his plan into action. Now that Inuyasha and Kagome were separated, it would be easy to kill her…or better yet, make her suffer incredible pain.

"What will you do Inuyasha?" Naraku said quietly as he summoned his most powerful demon yet. Another reincarnation named Nahiro. He was different from the other carnations. He was in fact a half demon like Naraku, but possessed immense power. But that was because Naraku handed down the nearly whole jewel of four souls shard. The demon Nahiro would be unstoppable.

Heavy footsteps pounded Naraku's way, and he said, "Nahiro. Quickly go interfere with Inuyasha and the others, while I, Naraku, personally take the woman Kagome out of Inuyasha's hands."

Nahiro chuckled and went on his way.

Naraku smirked and imagined the horrible look of defeat Inuyasha would have once he realized Kagome was dead…

Inuyasha, Sango, and Miroku

Sango rode atop of Kilala along with Miroku as Inuyasha jumped from tree to tree. They were getting closer to the trap of Naraku. But was unknown to them. Suddenly a voice called out through the mist.

"Inuyasha! I challenge you to a duel." The voice said angrily. Inuyasha stopped jumping and turned to look for the voice. Kilala stopped flying and gazed into the forest for the voice too.

"Who's there?" Inuyasha asked with a confident grin, "show yourself. I'll accept your duel!"

The voice cackled through the mist and a figure emerged. It was the size of a human, maybe even Inuyasha's height, but had long red hair and pitch black eyes. A giant scar grew across the bridge of his nose, making it seem as big and as his ugly piercing eyes.

Nahiro, the new reincarnation of Naraku, indeed looked formidable. Although he was not exactly attractive.

"Who are you?" Miroku asked as he capered off of Kilala along with Sango.

Nahiro snorted and said, "it be none of your business good monk…"

Sango stepped forward and said, "who sent you? I doubt you would willing challenge anyone who set foot in front of you.'

Nahiro shook his head violently and said, "it be none of your business I say. However…I do need a little fun at the moment…do you know of a demon chap with the name of Naraku? He was the generous one who sent me to kill you and a woman named…Kagome I believe. I guess's that she be dying now or soon. Naraku said he be taking care of business personally." (FYI. The character talks funny; it's not me not righting write. (;

Inuyasha's heart skipped a beat and he said breathlessly, "Naraku? Kill Kagome?"

Miroku shuddered and murmured something like a prayer. Sango was the only one not affected, "COME ON! What are you waiting for? Kill him and save Kagome before it's too late!" Sango swung her heraikutsu around her head and aimed for the demon. "Heraikutsu!" Sango yelled and threw her boomerang bone. The boomerang hit the demon's chest with a soft `thump' and it fell to the ground. Sango was taken aback. Why didn't my attack phase him?

Miroku too stepped into battle while Inuyasha stood still like an idiot. "I'll use my wind-tunnel!" Miroku shouted ready to pull of his prayer beads, but then stopped dead as a bunch of poisonous insects swarmed the air.

"Damn!" Miroku shouted, pushing his foot back in aggravation, "Inuyasha! Do something! Use the tetsuaiga!"

Inuyasha's mind seemed to have finally clicked back on. "Right!" He pulled his tetsusaiga out of its sheath and said, "prepare to die!"

The fight to the death was about to begin. (A/n yes. This battle to the death will actually end with a death, don't worry.)

Kaede's Hut

Kagome snoozed silently on the cold floor of Kaede's hut. The wind blew furiously outside and rain suddenly pounded the wooden walls. Kaede looked down at Shippo, who indeed was still awake, and gave a very apprehensive look. Both were very troubled since Inuyasha and the others left. It had been hours ago when Inuyasha departed.

"Kaede?" Shippo whispered, trying not to wake Kagome, "do you think Inuyasha is okay?"

Kaede did not reply, but simply just shrugged and continued to stoke the fire.

I hope you're alright Inuyasha Shippo thought sadly, glimpsing Kagome in the corner.

Instantaneously, a loud horrible crack filled the air along with a petrified scream that belonged to Kagome.

Shippo jumped up and looked at Kagome who was now wide-awake and crying.

"Kagome?" Kaede asked concerned, "what be the problem?"

Kagome didn't answer. She sat stock-still and her face was strained, as though she was in pain again. What could it be?

"Kagome!?" Shippo called hurrying to Kagome's side, "what is it?"

Kagome shrugged and a single tear came from her eye. It glittered in the light from the fire, and fell to the hard wood floor.

Kaede stood up and knelt next to Kagome. She examined her and said with finality, "she has been placed under a curse."

Shippo looked to Kaede, " A curse? Again? How?" she sure gets cursed and kidnapped a lot. Shippo thought scared.

"It is a different kind of curse." Explained Kaede, "this one is called the "pain" curse. It feeds one's pain upon the other. Meaning that what pain Inuyasha overcomes is what Kagome with overcome too, but with double the hurt." Kaede shook her head sympathetically, "this is something my dear sister Kikyo would have done. That is if she was still alive…"

Shippo nodded and asked, "is there anything we can do to get rid of it?"

Kaede shook her head "I do not know how…but we do need to find Inuyasha quick."

Shippo nodded and was about to walk outside when a horrible voice broke the silence, "Kagome…you will soon meet your fate…"

Shippo and Kaede shivered and Shippo ran to the corner and closed his eyes afraid.

A second later and they saw a figure emerge through the flap in the door of the hut. It was Naraku. And this time it was him for real. It was personal.

END CHAPTER

Sorry I made it end at such a cliffhanger, but I need to get off the computer. My brother always kicks me off. And besides, people love cliffhangers…..(hehehehehe) I wish I had the Inuyasha movie though….*sigh* I still need to wait a week more till I actually get it. Oh well, at least my dear friend Angela will lend it to me!…
