CHAPTER THREE: THE ESCAPE AND FREEDOM

* ~ * ~ * ~ *

The next morning there came a knock at the door about a couple of hours after sunrise. The master crept in quietly when there came no answer and spotted Nakushita sleeping next to Inuyasha.

"Hey, wake up" he whispered and Nakushita woke up with the usual kick to the side.

"What the heck?!" Inuyasha almost screamed as he too just woke up. "What's with the kick?!"

"Inuyasha, it's okay. He was just waking me up" said Nakushita who gave a slight smile.

"By kicking you?!" Inuyasha said.

"Hey, what's with all the noise. It's still early" said Shippo tiredly while rubbing his eyes who was followed by Kagome.

"Yes, what is the matter?" said Miroku who was sitting up in bed.

"It's fine. As I said before, he was just waking me up" she said.

"Nakushita, I want you to clean up this room and then report to me afterwards" said her master.

"Yes sir" Nakushita said.

AFTER AN HOUR OF CLEANING

"Well, I gotta go" Nakushita said.

"Remember our plan and you will be fine" said Miroku.

Nakushita nodded her head in agreement.

"We'll start in a hour" Inuyasha said, "Please, be careful"

"Thank you, all of you" said Nakushita.

"You'll be out of here soon" Kagome said.

"Thanks. Bye" and with that Nakushita went out through the door.

As the group was being led to the master's office by another servant, Inuyasha caught site of his sister who was working outside moving some big and what seemed to be very heavy crates. [We'll be out soon]

"Here we are. My master's room" said the servant.

"Thank you" said Miroku as the servant bowed and then left to get back to work.

Kagome knocked on the door when they heard the master's call.

"Come in" he said and the group walked in. "Oh, hello" he said when he saw them.

"Hello" said Miroku. "Well, I believe I have found out what was drawing the ominous cloud that was once overhead, but it's more of a who than a what. If we don't get that person out of here, then the cloud may come back."

"Who is it?!?" the master said anxiously.

"We have found out it was Nakushita" Miroku said.

"Nakushita. Why am I not surprised?" he said "I might as well order for her to be killed"

"NO!" Kagome screamed. "I mean, that wouldn't work" while calming down.

"Why not?" said the master getting a little suspicious.

"Well" Miroku jumped in, "Even if she wasn't alive, her body would still draw it"

By now the master figured they were lying, especially since Shippo was smiling very nervously with beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Well, ominous cloud or not" the master said who was now frowning, "I don't think I will give Nakushita up without something in return."

("He's on to us") Kagome whispered to Inuyasha as he nodded in agreement.

("Can't we just punch him out?") Inuyasha asked quietly.

("No Inuyasha. Besides, what did I say about that?") remarked Kagome.

("Feh, whatever") replied Inuyasha.

"Well, isn't getting rid of that ominous cloud pay enough?" said Miroku to Nakushita's master.

"I don't know" the master said, "I did give you a feast and the finest room here" He then called the servant who led the group to his office in. "Get Nakushita in here" he said and then whispered something else to him and turned around to face the group while the servant left.

The master smiled to them and said, "Nakushita will be in here soon"

"Good, so you will permit us to take her?" asked Miroku.

Just then Nakushita walked in trying not to smile.

"Nakushita, come" the master said and Nakushita did as she was told.

"So it's okay that she can come with us?" asked Shippo impatiently.

"Sure" the master said sarcastically and then whistled loudly which hurt Inuyasha's and Nakushita's ears a little.

About a dozen guards ran in and surrounded the group including Nakushita who was pushed toward them.

The master looked on with a grin on his face. "One, you will not take her and she will stay here" he said. "And two, you will leave this place peacefully and never come back"

"(sigh) I suppose we have no choice but to fight" said Miroku.

"Now that's what I'm talking about" said Inuyasha with a smirk on his face while Kagome sweat-dropped. "Kagome, Shippo, protect Nakushita and get her out of here"

"Right" said Kagome and took Nakushita and Shippo (who was on Kagome's shoulder) out of the room toward the exit of the mansion.

Once everyone was outside Kagome and Nakushita got on Inuyasha's back and Shippo hopped on Miroku's shoulder and started to run. After about thirty minutes they finally escaped the guards and Nakushita was free. Free from her horrible master and once miserable life.
