InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Was Lost But Now Is Found ❯ The Plan ( Chapter 2 )

CHAPTER TWO: THE PLAN

* ~ * ~ * ~ *

Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku, and Shippo (who was on Kagome's lap) were sitting on the floor of their room discussing what they were to do next. The room was a fair size with two beds against one of the walls. It had a small table in the center and a shelf to put their stuff.

They then heard a knock on the door.

"Come in" Miroku said and Nakushita walked in followed by her master.

"Hello" said the master, "Here she is as I promised. You may keep her throughout the night and I will pick her up tomorrow morning." and with that he turned around and left the room.

Nakushita stood there with her eyes fixed on the floor when Kagome said, "Hey, why don't you come here and sit down with us."

"Yes, come join us young maiden" Miroku added.

Nakushita did as she was asked and sat down in between Inuyasha and Kagome without saying a word or lifting her head.

At the same moment Inuyasha was too facing the floor without saying anything deep in thought.

"Why are you so sad Nakushita?" Shippo innocently said.

Nakushita looked up at Shippo and smiled at him. "Oh, I'm fine. Just thinking about some stuff." she said. "You people are much nicer than the others I had to spend the night with."

"Do you mean you do this often?" asked Miroku.

Nakushita just nodded her head silently.

"Nakushita" Kagome said, "How long did you have to do this?"

"Well, I was captured when I was five years old with my older brother who was seven at the time. He managed to escape even though he didn't want to but I told him to since they were mainly after me." said Nakushita while a tear rolled down her cheek. "Since then I've been forced to work for them."

"Nakushita, why didn't you just escape from this place? After all, your half-youkai." said Shippo.

"I have stayed here because I believe that my big brother will find me here and take me away from here with him" answered Nakushita who began crying softly.

"Please, stop crying Nakushita" Inuyasha finally spoke up. "You don't have to wait anymore. It's me, your brother"

With that everyone looked at him, including Nakushita who has stopped crying. She leaned onto Inuyasha's chest and started crying once more while Inuyasha embraced his younger sister.

About a minute later, Miroku spoke up. "What do you suppose we do to get Nakushita out of here?"

"Could we just sneak out during the night?" asked Shippo.

"No, they have numerous guards out during the nights. It would be impossible to get out unnoticed" said Nakushita who stopped weeping.

Why can't we just fight our way through?" said Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha, you can't just hurt people because you want to. How about we just talk to them?" Kagome said.

"I suppose I could tell them that maybe Nakushita was the one that was drawing that 'ominous cloud' and would be a danger to them. We could then ask if we could take her away" said Miroku.

"I guess that would work. As long as they let me go with you it will be fine" Nakushita said.

"Yeah, that sounds like a good plan. Better than just beating them up" said Kagome who was eyeing Inuyasha.

"What?" Inuyasha defended.

"Nothing Inuyasha" Kagome said.

"Can we go to sleep now?" Shippo said as he yawned.

"Yes, let us get some rest" Miroku agreed.

As Kagome and Shippo got up to go to their room, Kagome said, "Hey Nakushita, aren't you coming?"

"No, my master will expect me to be in the boys' room" she said.

"Well, there are only two beds so I suppose you can sleep with me" said Miroku who got punched in the head by Inuyasha.

"Not a chance Miroku. Nakushita, you can sleep with me" said Inuyasha as Miroku frowned.

"Okay" she said.

With that said everybody went to bed and fell asleep.
