“Freeze”

The couple barely had time to realize the voice had called to them before they were completely surrounded by swords. The whole area which had once looked friendly with the tall trees and the green grass was now covered with men all aiming their weapons to the two.

“Come quietly” The man in front instructed “Do as Naraku says and all will be well...”

“All will be well” Miroku repeated, sending a silent message to Sango.

In that same second the two spilt up, rushing at any and all guards that stood in there way.

“After them! Do not let them escape!”

Separately the two fought against the opposing men but for each one that was brought down two more would take his place. And Sango, trained for such things was even having a difficult time.

She tried keeping up with their swings but nothing was expected and she had already obtained a bunch of cuts from close calls. The men were getting faster for each one knocked too and it wasn’t helping that they were coming every possible angle.

And though she tried so hard, fought with all her might for herself and the promise to keep going; Sango found her footing put to shame, her breath dying, and her body in agony. One horribly wrong move and she was finally brought down, hard.

The attackers came around her, tying her up and forcing to her feet despite what her body was telling her. To her side, Miroku stood, already tied up and looking worse than herself. It wasn’t enough to have only a wind tunnel it seemed....

Although they were defeated both managed to glare at the man who had spoken as he came to stand in front of them

He grinned “Naraku under estimates you”

Sango growled, trying to fight her way forward but her ropes bound her to one line that was held by one of the men; and the moment she moved, she was pulled back roughly.

“Take them up to the cell”

As the two were forced to march towards the unknown Sango looked up to the castle, wondering if Inuyasha and Kagome had suffered the same fate. She knew they shouldn’t have split up...

This guy was a little too easy. Perhaps all the talk Kagome had done of Naraku was just her fears coming to pass. The guy didn't seem to be attacking at all and Inuyasha had managed to push him back so much that they were nearly up the stairwell back to where the two had entered.

His mind faltered--where the two of them had entered....Kagome.

As if remembering she had been with him he turned to look for her, completely oblivious in the moment that he was already at the very top of the stairwell. His heart quickened, his fear rising, but before he could even allow himself a step back towards her, Naraku struck his shoulder.

Angry for leaving Kagome down there, but more angry for letting his guard down, Inuyasha thrust his sword watching as the man's eyes widened before he fell in two neat bloody pieces at the hanyou’s feet.

Sheathing his sword he made to go downstairs, but something caught his attention. There was a bunch of black forms coming towards the doorway where the barrier had once stood. His nose told him his assumptions were right--they were human and most defiantly guards.

Turning, nearly tripping over the corpse of the bastard, he all but threw himself downstairs. At least the demon was taken care of, now he had to concentrate on finding a way out that wouldn’t cause any harm to the young girl.

"Kagome!" he called nearing the bottom "There's a bunch of people coming we---"

His eyes widened in horror as he stared into an empty room, save for the pillar that still held its place. In desperate attempt he tried feeling the walls around the cramped area, hoping that there was just some other place Kagome had hidden herself, but in his heart he knew the truth.

Throwing a fist into the wall, he fell to his knees, not caring that the debris rained around him.

There was another scent--not of the one he had been fighting....

The one he had faced was a decoy. Kagome was gone taken was again by Naraku.

There was a great sound of crumbling rocks and shouts from unknown people and he knew that the forms had come. And though he made to reach for his sword once more to fight another senseless battle, his fingers never touched the hilt.

In that second something was thrown against his head, making him fall unconscious.

And for once, he was too numb to fight back.

Sango raised her head, hearing the sound of footsteps approaching their cell. His fingers immediately tightened in the black locks she had been combing her fingers through, readying for the worst for her and the man who rested his head in her lap.

Instead, a person was thrown into the dark chamber. All she needed to see was that flash of red mixed with silver and she knew who it was.

His breathing was shallow and he didn’t move. She almost thought he was unconscious but the soft growls that were emitting from him said otherwise.

Sango glanced upon his tossed body sadly before looking back down to the beaten head that was in her lap. Miroku’s face was covered in bruises and dried blood claimed a good part of the right side. She had her own cuts but they were nothing to worry about.

She was happy that at least Inuyasha and Kagome didn’t look too--

That's when it hit her. It wasn't them, only him lying there.

A new rush of fear washed over her as her head snapped up her voice growing in fear "Where's Kagome?!"

When he looked up to meet her eyes she thought he looked sick. Never had she seen such a look on the Inu youkai’s face.

"With Naraku"
