Naraku smirked to himself. Fine!! If she wanted to play this little game then he would.

He would have her soon enough.

 

Tests, Secrets…And A Surprise?

 

Back with the Inu gang they decided they could start walking.

More like the humans demanded that they start walking. They didn't want to tire out Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha and Kirara. Although it hadn't seemed that way when they practically beat Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru till they agreed to let them down.

So there they all were, walking in silence through what seemed like a never ending forest. The sun was slowly rising over the horizon as birds chirped signaling the morning had finally come.

Miroku stared at Kagome warily as he thought about what he and the guys talked about earlier and decided that now was as good a time as any to test her. He had an Idea of what was happening and didn't like it one bit but he had to be sure. He was going to grab her butt but this time it wouldn't be for fun.

Miroku slowly inched his hand towards her butt and grabbed it.

“IEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHH!!!” Kagome screeched in fear while jumping back which made her fall back on her ass. Inuyasha was about to pummel him into oblivion but Sango beat him to it.

SLAP!!!

“Bastard, don't you touch her!!!” She yelled before she ran up to a hyperventilating Kagome and helped her up.

“I am so sorry Kagome, calm down it was only Miroku.” She whispered soothingly thinking no one would hear her.

“What do you mean it was only Miroku?” Inuyasha asked. Everyone stared at Sango for an explanation.

“U-umm…” She stuttered before clutching her fists “She probably thought someone was attacking her!!!” She yelled at them indignantly.

The guys didn't believe it but said nothing due to being occupied in their thoughts.

“I'm sure that Miroku didn't mean to scare you, Kagome” Rin said soothingly oblivious to the situation.

“It's ok, I know he didn't mean to” Kagome said still shaken a bit. She had thought it was Naraku that had grabbed her. She had thought her worst fears had come true. She stood there as her mind tortured her with image's of Naraku killing her friends and finally getting what he wanted, her innocence.

The guys watched as a play of Sadness, fear, hurt, and guilt went across Kagome's face, which only made them more determined to find out what had happened yesterday.

“I think we should make camp, there's a cave near by that we could sleep in” Sesshoumaru said suddenly.

“What!!??” Inuyasha yelled making the surrounding birds take flight.

“We'll sleep during the day and travel during the night” he said calmly.

Inuyasha was about to protest but Miroku started before him.

“Inuyasha, he's right. It's a lot safer for us to travel during the night.” He said. “And I'm really tired to, we need our rest incase of an attack.” The girls looked at Inuyasha with hopeful eyes. They were also exhausted.

“Grrr, Fine!! But we leave at sunset. I don't want them to gain ground on us!!” Inuyasha replied.

“Yaaay!!!” Kagome, Sango, Rin, and Shippou cheered.

Minutes later they were all sitting in the cave that Sesshoumaru had talked about. Everyone had already set up their sleeping bags and were waiting patiently as Kagome handed out the now cooked ramen.

Everyone ate silently. When they were finished the girls, and Shippou, went straight to sleep, to exhausted to do anything else. The guys however sat still and waited silently for the girls to fall asleep.

“ok Miroku, what was with grabbing Kagome to day, especially when you haven't touched her for the past 5 years!!” Inuyasha whispered when he was sure that the girls were asleep.

“I had a feeling that what we sensed in the girls room happened to her… “ Miroku replied.

“You think she was fooling around with someone!!??” Inuyasha growled.

Miroku looked at Inuyasha seriously. “I think she was sexually assaulted.” He said so low that only Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha could hear.

Inuyasha jumped up with a growl. “What do you mean sexually assaulted?! By who!!??” he said.

“I'm not sure but my best guess is Naraku” Miroku said.

“but Naraku has a mate!!! And Youkai mate for life!!” Inuyasha growled.

“Inu Youkai mate for life, not spider Youkai. It's different for every type of Youkai. Some Youkai even believe in having more than one life mate at a time.” Sesshoumaru said.

“So Naraku is one of those Youkai?” Inuyasha asked.

“I never said that. I just said that some are” he replied.

“you're making no sense!! Is it Naraku or not!!” Inuyasha growled.

“We can never be sure unless we find out from Kagome, Sango or Naraku” Sessh said calmly.

“Why Sango?!” Miroku gasped.

“She knows something as well. From the scents in their room and what she said when you groped Kagome, I would guess that she walked in on it.”

“You have a point, but how are we going to ask them?” Miroku said.

No one said anything. They had no idea how they were going to get Kagome or Sango to talk, let alone Naraku.

“ well they're safe for now. So maybe we should sleep on it. It'll be clearer to us once we had a good `days' rest” Miroku said. They all nodded and settled into there sleeping bags.

8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8 #8#8#8

Two nights later they were in a cave similar to the first. They had traveled a good 200 miles and they were starting to get edgy. The last two nights seemed so peaceful as if it were the calm before the storm. They had expected to be attacked at least once by now.

That night they quickly packed up, ate and started back on their way. Nobody even noticed how tired Kagome still was, it was if she hadn't slept at all.

“Umm… you guys… Where are we going anyway?” Rin asked. Everyone did an anime fall. Where WERE they going? No one had thought about that.

“We're going to the Western lands.” Sesshoumaru answered.

Everyone looked at him oddly.

“What?!!” He barked.

“Umm… Why are we going to the western lands sesshy?” Rin asked for everyone.

“To get my Inheritance, Inuyasha's as well”

“REALLY!! What will you inherit?” she asked.

“Inuyasha and I will receive our parents house and a lump sum of money they had left for us.”

“Sesshoumaru. We aren't supposed to get it until we're 18” Inuyasha said.

“Inuyasha, did you actually read the paper on our Inheritance?”

“umm..”

“That's what I thought. It said that we wouldn't get it until we turned 18 Unless we were in dire need for it before hand. Besides, we could always squish Myoga until he gave it to us.” Sessh said grinning evilly. Everyone backed away slightly.

“By the way, where is the pip squeak? He usually shows up around this time of month.” Inuyasha said.

“Hmmm. Your right. That's odd, he usually would have shown up 2 days ago.” Sesshoumaru thought out loud.

“Come to think off it, why haven't we been attacked yet. Surely Naraku knows we're gone by now!!” Miroku exclaimed.

Thump!!!

“KAGOME!!!” Inuyasha yelled as he ran up to the now passed out girl and pulled her into his arms.

“What happened to her!!!” Sango asked in a panic.

Suddenly out of nowhere a hoard of demons showed up.

“SESSHOUMARU!!!” Rin screamed as a snake youkai wrapped itself around her and started to carry her away. In a blink of the eye the youkai was shredded with Rin now safely in Sessh's arms.

Everyone swooped into action to defend themselves.

“HIRAIKOTSU!!” Sango yelled as she flung it at the hoard killing 4 youkai then killing 5 more on it's way back but she didn't have time to react when a bear youkai swung at her from behind.

“SANGO!!!” Miroku bellowed as he slashed though the youkai with his Shoji. Sango ran up beside him and hugged him real quick before returning to the battle.

Inuyasha on the other had was currently dodging all the youkai. He couldn't fight with Kagome in his arms.

One of the youkai flipped its tail under him making Inuyasha crash to the ground and Kagome to fly out of his arms 10 feet away from him. Inuyasha watched in horror as a panther youkai swung its claws at her but out of nowhere Sesshoumaru appeared behind him and slashed though him with his own claws. Sesshoumaru picked up Kagome and nodded to Inuyasha.

Inuyasha knew exactly what he was thinking. Inuyasha pulled out his sword as it transformed into a large fang blade.

“WIND SCAR!!!” Inuyasha yelled as he swung his sword at the youkai. Five yellow streaks of light flashed forward destroying all the remaining youkai. Everyone sighed in relief.

“that was odd” Miroku thought out loud.

“Yeah it was, but what's even odder was that Kagome fainted just before the attack.” Sango said.

“Maybe I could explain that.”

Inuyasha slapped his neck and put out his hand.

“ Grrrrr, Where have you been Myoga!?” Inuyasha asked the little flea demon in his palm.

“Trying to find you!! But Phew!! Was it hard, thanks to your mate!!” Myoga exclaimed.

“What do you mean by that?!” Inuyasha asked ignoring the mate comment. Everyone stared at Myoga for an explanation.

“You mean you didn't know!!!?? No wonder the poor girl passed out!!! Haven't you at least put up a barrier with your Tetsusaiga while you slept so she could rest!!” He cried.

“WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!!??” Inuyasha yelled losing his patience.

“Kagome has kept a barrier around all of you that blocks your scents and aura's since you ran away!!” Myoga exclaimed. Miroku gasped. How could he have missed that?!

“What barrier? We didn't see one around us?!” Sango asked.

“Sango, Kagome must have put up an invisible one… Damnit!! If she's been keeping up that kind of barrier for the last two days straight, it's no wonder she passed out!!” Miroku cursed.

“Is she going to be ok?” Inuyasha asked worriedly.

“Yes, she just needs to rest. She used up all her energy.” Miroku said still mad at himself for not noticing what she was doing earlier. He could have at least helped her, they could have traded every few hours to save their energy.

“I think we should make camp. We can't keep going with her passed out like that” Sesshoumaru said.

Everyone nodded and started setting up. When they where done everyone sat around the fire as close as they could, It was still winter and was really cold out. Inuyasha had

The still sleeping Kagome wrapped in his arms with a blanket around them as he stared at the fire.

“Myoga, you are aware of the situation at hand?” Sesshoumaru asked out of nowhere. Myoga nodded his head.

“Then you are also aware that Inuyasha and I will need our Inheritance now” Sessh stated.

“Yes Master Sesshoumaru. I have already arranged for you to receive your Inheritance upon arrival to the castle.” Myoga replied.

“Castle!! What castle?” Rin and Sango exclaimed.

“Umm…well, you see. Our father was the lord of the Western lands. So he left us the castle he had built to protect My mother, Sesshoumaru and me.” Inuyasha explained.

Miroku, Sango, Shippou, and Rin Stared at them with there mouths open wide.

“How come you guys never told us?” Kagome asked sleepily.

“KAGOME!! Your awake!!” Everyone cried happily. Suddenly Miroku felt a spike of energy go into the air. He turned and glared at Kagome.

“What?!” She asked.

“Pull down the barrier NOW!!!” He commanded

“But that'll make it easier for Naraku to track us down!!” Kagome Exclaimed.

“Kagome can't you tell? I already have one up. You need to rest. So from now on you and I will take turns holding the barrier up, ok?” he explained.

Kagome smiled at him warmly. “Thanks Miroku, your a big help.”

“Kagome, how come you didn't tell us you were holding up a barrier?” Inuyasha asked.

“I didn't want to worry you guys, sorry” She said sadly. Inuyasha smiled and pulled her into a hug.

“That's ok, just promise me you won't over exert yourself like that again, k?”

“Ok, I promise Inuyasha.” Kagome said with a smile. He really did care for her. She was so happy he did.

“Umm…” Kagome said when she noticed everyone had fallen asleep. Inuyasha looked up with his eye's twitching.

“Oh! By the way. Inuyasha, I have something for you.”

“Huh? What?”

Kagome handed him a beautifully wrapped gift that she had pulled out of her pack. Inuyasha stared at it curiously. “What's this for?”

“Happy birthday Inuyasha!!!” She smiled warmly. Inuyasha looked at her in surprise, he had completely forgotten that today was his birthday.

“Well!? Are you just going to stare at me or are you going to open it?” She said teasingly.

Inuyasha shook out of his stupor and ripped into the present to reveal a sword care kit. It had 2 huge bottle's of special lotion for cleaning, a sharpening stone and a polishing clothe.

Inuyasha stared at it in awe making Kagome giggle. It was one of the best and rarest kits in the world!!!

“H-how….” He stammered.

“It was on ebay for auction, I made a bid and won” She laughed.

He looked up at Kagome, smiled brightly and pulled her into a hug. “Thank you so much, Kagome.”

Kagome giggled and returned his hug. “So I take it that you like it?”

“LIKE IT!!!?? I LOVE IT!!” He exclaimed. Kagome smiled happily, this is why she had gotten it. She wanted make him as happy as she could.

“I'm glad…” She yawned.

“Come on Kagome lets go to sleep” He sighed as he pulled them into his sleeping bag together. Kagome snuggled into his warmth and smiled happily as did Inuyasha. It wasn't long after that Inuyasha had fallen asleep. Kagome smiled warmly at him.

“I love you, Inuyasha” Kagome whispered before she to fell asleep.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@Dream zone@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Darkness…

Utter and total darkness surrounded her, but that wasn't what scared her, it was the feel of complete and total loneliness. Kagome stared through the dark abyss that surrounded her.

`Where am I?'

Suddenly from the corner of her eye, Kagome could see a flash of light. Turning it's way, she saw all her friends, Sango, Miroku, Shippou, Rin, Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha standing in a spotlight smiling and waving her over. Finally being able to move she started to run towards them but when she was just about there she felt a hand reach out behind her and grab her roughly as it pulled her back into the darkness.

Kagome looked to see who was taking her away from her friends, Her happiness!! Only to see Naraku. She gasped as she struggled to free her self.

"No! please, let me go!!" she cried.

"Never! you are mine, you don't deserve happiness, Kagome. Why don't you just make it easier on your self and let the darkness over come you?" he said in a sinister voice.

Kagome only started to struggle harder.

" No... leave me alone.... Sesshoumaru, Rin help me, please!!!" Kagome yelled as she looked at them pleadingly, but they turned their backs to her and disappeared. Naraku dragged her back further into the darkness.

She then looked at Sango, Miroku, and Shippou pleadingly

“Sango, Miroku, Shippou!!! Please Help me, I'm begging you!!” But they only smiled sadly and disappeared as well. Kagome started sobbing uncontrollably as she looked at her last and most precious friend, the one person she loved with all her heart.

" Inuyasha, Please...Please help me!!" She begged franticly as she reached a hand out to him. Inuyasha looked at her with disgust burning in his eyes and with one last halfhearted wave goodbye he turn around and disappear.

Kagome went still, shock evident on her face. No!! This couldn't be happening!! It wasn't her fault!! She didn't want Naraku, she wanted Inuyasha.

“It is your fault, Kagome. It's your fault that everything's happened, that your friends will die, that Inuyasha now sees you for what you truly are. Worthless, Impure, Disgusting.” Naraku hissed.

Tears rushed to her eyes. No!! he was wrong. Inuyasha would return for her…wouldn't he?

"Inuyasha?… INUYASHA!!! PLEASE...PLEASE DON"T LEAVE ME HERE!! INUYASHA!!!!" She cried out but he didn't return to save her like he always did. “NOOO!! INUYAASHA!!!”

" Ku, Ku, Ku. See, No one wants you anymore, Kagome!!" Naraku laughed as he finally dragged Kagome into the Darkness as she cried in anguish, Finally accepting that Naraku was right.

@@@@@@@@@@@@End Dream@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Inuyasha lay quietly next to a sleeping Kagome. He had been awake only for a few minute's and wanted to go back to sleep but for some reason he just couldn't. Something just didn't feel right.

Inuyasha felt as Kagome started to toss and turn beside him. "no...please......" she mumbled in her sleep, her face displaying a frown as tear's started down her cheeks."...Help...me." she cried.

Inuyasha looked at Kagome worriedly as he started to shake her gently, but she didn't wake.

"Inuyasha....please.....INUYASHA, PLEASE DON"T LEAVE ME!!!"

Now Inuyasha was more worried, as he shook her harder. "Kagome…Kagome, Wake up!" he said loudly.

Kagome's eye's fluttered open as she looked at Inuyasha with tear filled eye's.

"In-Inuyasha?..” She said as her eyes came into focus. “ Inuyasha!! please don't leave me," she pleaded as she started to cry again while she clung to him.

Inuyasha pulled Kagome into his arms tighter. "shhh, Kagome. it's alright, I'm here now. I won't leave you." He said comfortingly while Kagome cried into his shoulder.

"You promise?" she asked in a childlike voice.

"I Promise" he replied while still holding her in his arm's. Finally after a few minutes, she feel asleep, and he lied her back down and pulled the cover over her while he still wondered what had her so upset. ' Why would I ever leave her?' he contemplated as he pulled her closer to him and feel asleep, still having an awkward feeling that something wasn't quiet right.
