Disclaimer: Don't remind me...it hurts....

Author's Notes: Rah. Sorry for the long updat, but you wouldn't believe how busy I've been. Stayed up till three doing my science fair project yesterday. Oy. Anywho, main point being I've been too busy to type or write chapters up. Buuut, I decided I better write a chappy soon or I'll be dead in a few days. So I spent all school day not paying attention in class, writing this. This one should have very little confusion in it! Plus there's a slight twist to things... * smiles evilly * RAH! I've got fricken gnats flying around y head...stupid stinky bunny litter...Well, anywho, enjoy the chapter! It took a while for me to think of how everything would happen, so that's part of the reason for the long update.

Caution: Some harsh ish lingo in this chapter.

Chapter Six
The Bloody Truth


Yami tore his gaze away from the horrid scene below the balcony.

"Anzu..." He muttered as he ran across his bedroom, the shattered glasses piercing through the soft flesh on his feet. A bolt of pain raced through his body, but he ignored it.

Throwing oprn the front doors, he rushed forward to the object that lay ahead. He felt warm blood splash against his feet as he came closer to it.

"God...what the hell happened?!" Yami choked out as he fell beside the body. Blood began to absorb into his clothes like a sponge absorbed water.

"Anzu..." He picked up one of her limp hands to feel for a pulse: there was none. The cold skin sickened him and he quickely let go. Putting his hands on the ground for support, he touched something that didn't feel like pavement soaked in blood. Looking through his blurry eyes, he saw something glint silver through the crimson surrounding him.

"A knife? What the hell?" Yami grabbed it and watched as the blood slowly dripped from it, and the pieces of skin clung tighter to it. As the blood ran away, something began to show. Looking closer, the mystery was solved. Someone's name was engraved in it..the murderer's?

"Yugi?!" Shock ran through Yami's body and he was frozen in place, staring at the knife.

"Hey kid, you're under arrest!" The voice from behind startled him, causing the knife to fall to the ground, splashing blood across Yami's back. Yami turned to see several police men with their guns pointed towards him and his mouth opened, but no words came out. Suddenly, his wrist felt heavy. A cop had taken advantage of Yami's frozen state to slap cuffs across his wrists.

Finally, words found Yami's mouth. "What the hell? Why am I being arrested?"

"Murder, boy." The main cop looked at him sternly, shaking his head, before motioning fot the backups to put Yami in the car.

`I don't get it...what's happening? They accused me of bloody murder when all I did was...get caaught...at the scene of the crime...oh, shit! I was set up!'

Yami recalled the scene to himself, now making sense.

He was covered in Anzu's blood while holding the knife that had skin hanging from it and blood dripping from it. The knife had `Yugi' engraved on it...and Yami looked exactly like Yugi! Only Yugi's closest friends knew of Yami's existence, so of course they cops would have automatically assumed that he was indeed Yugi.

Then it had all been staged from the start. What was the cause though? Was it just because Yami longed to stay in Yugi's world? Speaking of Yugi, where had he gone? And had Tea really killed herself to make this scene play? Or had she really been murdered by someone else?

"I didn't kill her, you know! So you caught me at the scene of the crime, big spankin deal! Innocent till proven guilty!"

"The odds are against you, son!"

"THEN JUST BLOODY KILL ME NOW!" Yami screamed out. He choked back the hot tears that danced in his eyes. If Yugi was around, watching his little play take action, Yami didn't want to be caught crying over it.

As the police started the engine and began to drive away from the scene, Yami took a last hateful glance back. He saw Anzu's limp hand dangling limply from the ambulance bed.

`Good ridance...'

Naraku descended from the sky with Kagome sleeping soundly in his arms. A large castle loomed out from the mist and shadows. Naraku approached and walked through the mysteriously self opening doors. Walking down the hallway, he sniffed for Sesshomaru. Finding the right path, he opened a door.

"I got the girl."

"Like I couldn't smell her from here...Anyway, we must hurry. We have a head start, but with Inuyasha's changes, it won't take him too long to figure it out. Fortunatly, he has yet to sense me, still alive. And pretty soon, me and Kagome will be safe in hiding. No worries, right?"

"Right. Kagura is out patrolling now, if she sees him, she will send out an army. While they fight, she will come report the news, then go back to send out a second hoard. No, it's important that we begin the protection ceremony as soon as possible. Here." Naraku gently handed the sleeping beauty to Sesshomaru, who cradled her in his arms. She mumbled something that sounded like `puffy to hawaii', which got a delicatly raised eyebrow in response.

"Should I wake her now?"

"Yes."

Shaking her gently, he tried to wake her.

" You damn pervert! Get your paws off me!" Kagome shouted, still half asleep. She raised her knee and kicked Sesshomaru in the nuts, then swung her hand forward to slap him.

"WAKE UP YOU INSOLENT FOOL!!!" He screamed in rage, dropping her onto the ground.

"CALM DOWN, she's just a human!"

"Yeah, well let's see your response if she kicked you there!"

"Nyahuh!"

"Huh? What's going on? Oh, ello Naraku...AUUUUUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S SESSHOMARU!!! B-b-b-b-b-b-bb-but you're dead!! Inuyasha killed you!!!"

"Well, she's awake now..." muttered Sesshomaru.

"Calm down Kagome..." Naraku rubbed his temples and breathed in deeply, then exhaled.

"Ok, here's the story. Seshomaru's not dead, Inuyasha is evil, you're in danger, I'm being nice for some reason, and would you STOP THAT!" Kagome had been twirling around Sesshomaru's tail, to both Naraku's and Sesshomaru's annoyance.

"But you ARE dead. I saw you fall down down down the cliff."

"That wasn't me-"

"So WAS! Who else has a big poofy tail, spiky armour, a missing arm, pointy shoes, loooooong soft perty hair, and an annoying frog?"

"My-"

"Don't you DARE say your twin, cuz I know for a fact that you don't have one!"

"I didn't-"

"Don't you start with me!! I'll-"

"IF YOU'D SHUT YOUR BIG MOUTH, I COULD EXPLAIN TO YOU WHY I AM HERE!!" Kagome snapped her mouth shut and turned away from Sesshomaru.

"What's HIS problem..." She muttered to Naraku.

"ANYWAY, you have tried to kill Naraku many times, and you have found out, he's still alive. That you were only fighting a golum doll. Well, that's what the Sesshomaru you saw die was, a golum of me."

"Ooooooh, ok......."

"..."

"Why?"

"Because Inuyasha has joined the forces of evil, eviler than Naraku I mean, no offense or anything there, and he's going crazy. His next target to kill is you, and we're protecting you."

"Ok, makes sense so far. But how come after Inuyasha sliced you, the wooden doll didn't poof up? Why did the body stay there?"

"It's a special kind of golum doll," Naraku butted in, "That allows the doll to stay in the form of the person. However, after a few days, it will turn back into a doll. As you can see," Naraku pointed to a table a few feet away, "Sesshomaru's doll has been killed. The mystery is though, why is it still being kept? We are not aware of who posses the golum body now, but whoever it is is fully aware of the fact that it's a golum. This person is the one telling Inuyasha who to kill. Which is why we are hiding, for we do not know when or if Inuyasha will come to kill Sesshomaru. Wether the person told Inuyasha of the golum doll reamins a mystery to us."

"Ah, ok. So...why did you kidnap me?"

"We will make a golum double for you too. You will stay here with us to remain in safety. However, there is a certain..." Naraku glanced at Sesshomaru. "Ceremony, you could call it, that must be performed to activate this protection spell. Once the spell is activated, Inuyasha will no longer be able to sense either you or Sesshomaru. I have already had this ceremony activated on me, so I'm good." Sesshomaru looked at Naraku sharply with curiousity, but Naraku just shook his head in response.

"Why can't I just go back to my time?"

Kagome was met with blank stares.

`Oooh, they don't know about that. Better to leave it a mystery then...'

"Oh, silly me. Ignore that."

Sesshomaru opened his mouth to speak, but waws cut short as the door flew open. The dust settled to reveal Kagura standing before them.

"Report" she started, "Inuyasha has caught on. He was not informed of the golum doll. Army One has been sent out, he is quite a ways away from here. There is enough time. Will report back." With that, she twirled her fan and in a poof of wind, she was gone.

"Let's get to it then. There is no time to waste. Kagome, Sesshomare." Naraku nodded to both of them. Sesshomaru smirked, which creeped Kagome out.

"Uh....what exactly does this ceremony involve?" She asked timidly.

***
Inuyasha slashed angrily at the oncoming youkai with his claws.

"Damnit! Whenever I try to do something of importance, these damn youkai come chasing after me! It's like they want to mess up my plans!!"

Deciding to kill them all off in one swing, Inuyasha reached for the hilt of Tetsusaiga. As he closed his hand to grasp it, he was met with nothing. Looking towards his belt, he saw no Tetsusaiga.

"Arg! That damn asshole took my Tetsusaiga...'so I wouldn't turn my back on hime'...damn, damn, damn, DAMN!"

He screamed out in rage as he decapitated a few more demons. Kagome was getting a damn long head start...which did NOT improve on Inuyasha's move. Who knows what she would do in this time to protect herself...he only hoped that she wouldn't come across Naraku. Whose side Naraku was on was a mystery to Inuyasha, but Inuyasha knew that Naraku knew black magic like the scar on his back.

"So, Rin, my sweet dear, how was the food? Any problems?"

"I hate to admit it, but the food was good. The only problem was Demurugi..."

"Ah, the newbie here. What shal I do to punish him? Stretch him? Lay him on beds of needles? Have him walk across coal? Stab-"

"Oh, no. Not that kind of problem."

"Oh. Drat. Well then, on with why I came-"

"The only problem with Demurugi was that he made the food feel ice cold compared to how hot he is!"

"Oh, is that all love?! Damnit, it's no wonder you're fuckin pregnant! You can't keep your eyes off of any hot guy you come across. You probably have sex ten times a week! I wouldn't be surprised if you had sextuplets, and all with different fathers! You're fuckin crazy!" He swiftly closed the space between him and Rin and threw his hand across her face.

"Don't you talk to me like that! It's none of your buisiness if I have sex ten times a day! I'll do whatever I want, whenever I want! You don't own me!"

"I do now! And there's nothing you can do about that! You're the one who shouldn't be talking to me like that, lady! I'll kill you in an instant!"

"You wouldn't dare! You know why? Because you're too soft! You want me to have the baby first, so that you'll know if you're his sweet pop!"

"You want to know more than I do! I am not a softie either!"

"You SO are!"

"Feh!" Before she could react, he had pulled a dagger out from his boot and swiped it across her hand. Her thumb fell to the floor, blood trailing behind it.

"How soft am I now? Huh? ANSWER ME!" He swiped it across her again, taking her pinky. She was screaming in pain, tears pouring down her face. She thrashed aound in the chained chair, trying to do something to him, anything to him.

"You bastard! I HATE YOU!"

"Good! I hate you too! What kind of man likes whores anyway?"

"Obviously you!"

"Well, Miss Whore, whose baby do you think you're carrying? Mine? Sesshomaru's? Naraku's? Inuyasha's? Demurugi's? ANSWER ME OR I'LL TAKE SOMETHING ELSE OFF!"

"I don't know!!"

"You screwed Sesshomaru first, didn't you? Then you came whining to me, putting on a little act, just to see if I was any better than him! So tell me now, if you don't know whose baby, then who was better? Me? Or someone else?"

"You!" He could tell she was just saying that to satisfy him.

"Damn straight!" With that, he turned quickly around and smashed his heel into one of her dismemebered fingers. Then he stomped out of the room, slamming to doors behind him.

"I HATE YOU!" She screamed as tears poured harder from her face. "I hate you..."

A few feet away, Demurugi smirked to himself in the darkness.

***

Anzu screamed out as loud as she could, to no avail. No echo was heard, and the silence cut her scream.

"Where am I?" she pondered out loud. "And how did I get here?"

It was so dark, blackness all around her. The only thing she could do right now was think, and wait. She wondered how the plan had worked out in the end.

~*Flashback*~

"Anzu, Yami has become evil. He has been aquiring some dark power that is bginning to scare me. We must berid of him!"

"I've noticed that too...but how?"

"We need away for him to be sent away forever...I know! He can commit murder!"

"Oh, I'm sure he'll jump at that opportunity when you ask him..."

"No no no, we won't ask him. He'll murder someone without really knowing it!"

"You mean, a set up?"

"Yes! It's the perfect opportunity! And the great thing is, no one will actually die."

"How....?"

"I've been studying some kind of voodoo. I know how to make a Special Golum. It takes the shape of someone, and then anything can happen to the golum."

"Ok...do tell..."

"First we'll have to put on a prologue sort of thing to get me out of the way. I'll knock him out, then you set up the stage. You'll put the pre-murdered golum below the balcony, with my knife by it. After that's set up, them you `come over' to my house. Yami will want to talk to you about the `dream' he had. Then you pretend to jump off the balcony. Really, you will go under it. He will look out, see the body, and go outside to look at it. During that time, you will run to the well, hide in it, and call the police. It's foolproof!"

"Sounds great. Let's get started!"

~*End Flashback*~

"Yugi, I called the cops like you said. It was when I entered the well though that I came here somehow. I can'' see or hear or anything. Did I fail Yugi? Where are you? Can you hear me? Ever since you left for me to set up part two, you've been gone. You were supposed to meet me in the well; you never did. If you can hear me, a storm came during part two. It was perfect...come find me..."

***

"Hey Kairi, I've killed the rest of the Heartless here. You can come out now. We gotta hit the trail if we want to stop Riku from succeeding in his plan-"

"Yes, yes, I know already. You say that everytime. Now stop being so smug and let's get going already!"
