Chapter 7: Betrayal

"Speaking"

'Thoughts'

[Kagome's World]

She awoke about an hour later, there still being dark due to the fact that the sun still had an hour to awake. The first thing she was aware of was the resounding pain in the back of her head. She winced and tried to sit up, but found herself tied down, making it hard. Still, she managed to worm herself into an upright position.

She looked around at her surroundings. She was in a cell, or so it seemed. The floor was damp and cold, and she could feel herself shivering already. It was dark, pitch black even, except for the bit of light that shone through the cracks in the heavy metal door locking her in. Her hands were bound by heavy metal, obviously someone wanted to keep her here.

Other than that, she couldn't tell where exactly she was being held. She closed her eyes, and all she saw was that man looking back at her. She shuddered. It had been his lips on her neck, his face against hers. She shuddered again. At least with InuYasha, she could've looked back on it safely and enjoyed it...

'No! Don't think those thoughts!! Bad Kagome...bad!', she mentally scolded again.

She opened her eyes, and strained her ears for any signs of people coming. She waited for a few minutes, but when none were present, she settled in for a long wait. She began to think about the real InuYasha, and her friends.

'Are they worried about me? I wonder if they've discovered I'm missing yet...Is InuYasha worried?', a small smile formed on her face. She liked him worrying about her, it meant he cared. Of course she didn't mean to make him worry. It's not like she ran to the guy and begged to be kidnapped.

She snorted a bit in laughter. She sighed again as her thoughts returned to the fact that she was still locked up in a cold, wet, dark cellar in God-knows-where.

She lay down on a dry part of the floor, and rubbed against it, trying to generate a warm spot against the unruly stone. No luck. So she laid on her side, ignoring the painful numbing of the cold, as she closed her eyes and let sleep claim her.

She was awoken what seemed less than an hour later, to the sound of heavy metal locks being slid back and forth on her door. She opened her eyes wearily, as the door was unlocked. She quickly sat up, and watched with both fear and suspense, as she heard the final lock come undone. A grunt was heard at the obvious struggle of moving the immense door, as it finally gave way and moved. A bulky soldier moved out of the way to reveal a man wearing a baboon pelt.

Kagome's mind were filled with two emotions; the first of which being disgust, seeing as it was obviously him who has touched her; and the second being fear of what he planned to do with her. The only reason she feared him so greatly was the large amount of the jewel he held in his possession. She had been able to scare him off before with her holy arrows, and though her powers had been increasing, she doubted she could do it again in the current situation.

Naraku walked into her cell and stopped infront of her, casting a shadow over her frail body. She looked up at him, with fire in her eyes, showing she wasn't scared. Deep down she was, but she'd be damned before she let him know it. He'd probably find some perverse satisfaction from it, and that would be giving him way too much pleasure from the situation.

He crouched down to her level, and pushed back the hood on his pelt, revealing his dark eyes, and long hair. Kagome leered at him as he hooked a finger under her chin and brought her face towards his.

"I have big plans for you, miko. Too bad I can't keep you. I like them feisty," he smirked, as she pulled her face out of his hands.

"But, you are not mine to deal with. I have already promised you to Kikyo." With that said, he left, and the guard pushed the heavy door back into place. It creaked and groaned as it moved, and stopped with a dull thud, as the many locks were put back into place again.

But Kagome didn't hear it at all. Her mind was too busy reeling. She had been promised to Kikyo? Why Kikyo? Was she going to kill her? Maybe...

'I wonder why Kikyo...maybe?...No...I don't think she wants to kill me...yet...', she thought with a bit of a snort. Of course she wanted to kill her. She had made it loud and clear. She also wanted to take InuYasha with her to hell. But lately, Kagome hadn't been too sure on that. She had begun to think she just wanted to kill InuYasha and continue living, seeing as she's trying so hard to these days.

Kagome signed, resigning. She let her mind rest, as it became clear that no obvious answers were within her reach. She laid down again, against the cold, unruly stone of her cell floor. She only wished there was some way for her to contact InuYasha. She closed her eyes, and settled into an uncomfortable, and worried sleep.

[InuYasha's World]

He was running. Fast. Ever since he had returned to camp after getting a drink, he had noticed Kagome's abscence. At first he thought she would be attending to something personal, and would "sit" him into eternity if he showed up unexpectadly, so he held off. Until recently. He had fallen asleep, to awaken about a half hour later to notice she was still gone.

Then he had started to worry. He jumped down from his tree and had scooted over to her sleeping back, following her scent into the forest. When he got there, though, he found another scent, and had started to growl. He didn't know this scent, it was unknown to him. Not a good sign.

He had followed it to a tree, where the unknown scent had taken on the undeniable scent of Naraku. With a mix of Kagome's with it, he had followed it to the forest's edge, where he lost it. He had ran back to camp to awake Sango and Miroku and alert them that he was going to look for Kagome. They would be following later.

As he jumped and flew over the treetops, his mind scolded him.

'I swore I would never let anyone hurt her', he fumed. He had already let her down. He paused on the top of a tree, as he picked up the scent again and took off. He felt like an idiot. If anything had happened to her...

'No', he denied, 'Nothing's gonna happen to her. It can't...Hold on Kagome!!', he screamed mentally.

"I'm sorry..."
