Chapter 2

Kidnapping the Kidnapper

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~

*** Kaede's Hut***

 

Kagome watched the sleeping red head as his chest rhythmically rose up and down. As she watched him she couldn't help thinking how handsome he was, minus the scratches he got from the demons. She watched him until her eyes felt heavy and she too fell asleep.

 

Half-way through the night Kurama's eyes slowly opened, “I'm alive?” He whispered as he began to sit up. Suddenly an intense wave of pain stabbed through him. He took in a sharp breath as he quickly laid back down. He took another deep breath then began to study his surrounding; he had no idea where he was or how he got there. Kurama softly lifted his hand to his hair ignoring the pain coursing through his arm to remove a rose. As he searched his eyes settled on a sleeping girl with a nice figure and raven black hair. He felt another sickening pain in his stomach so he looked down. To his surprise he had bandages on, who bandaged him up? His stare retuned to the beautiful girl that he had ever seen in his life. He watched her sleep trying to figure out all the questions buzzing through his head. He saw the girl move slightly and her eyes flutter open.

 

She looked around for a minuet then settled her gaze on him. “Good, you're awake.” She smiled a very pretty smile as she spoke in a soft voice. “We weren't really sure if you would even wake up.”

 

Kurama deciding there was no danger so he returned his rose to its resting place. He carefully studied the girl debating what to say, he decided he should ask who she was.

 

“Not to be rude but who are you? Where am I?” Kurama asked looking around the hut.

 

“Oh how silly of me, my name is Kagome. Don't be alarmed but you are in my friend Kaede's hut.” Her voice was quite calm and not at all alarming. “Don't be frightened I promise no harm will come to you, your safe with us.” The girl looked at the boy quizzically and questioned. “Oh by the way, who are you? Why were you fighting those demons?” Kagome decided it would be better not to tell him that he was in a different time period, it might freak him out.

 

Kurama was a little stunned to say the least, yet answered her questions thinking she meant no harm. “My name is Kurama, I was fighting the demons because its my job. I was sent to retrieve something they stole but didn't realize there numbers were so great. Last I remember there was a demon coming toward me and I blacked out. Do you know who saved me?”

 

The girl now identified to him as Kagome looked at him and meekly replied, “well, I saved you. I saw you falling to the ground and a demon attacking you. I shot the demon that attacked with my arrow. When I saw you clearer I realized that you were poisoned. I didn't think our doctors could help you so I brought you here.”

 

“Thank you for saving me then, I owe you my life.” Kurama looked around the hut and smelled the air before asking another question that was nagging at him. “There is one more thing I do want to ask… where is this hut? It is clearly not in any city or anywhere near where I blacked out. The air is cleaner then I have felt anywhere I've been on earth so please, where in truth, have you taken me?” Kurama looked at her judging to see if she was lying.

 

“I don't know how you can tell.” She looked a little distressed by the question. “No, we aren't anywhere near where I found you. You are now in Japan's Feudal era.” Kagome looked at the boy sadly hoping he would not think her crazy.

 

“How is that possible?” Kurama was more interested then doubtful.

 

Kagome was glad he wasn't too shocked and decided there was no harm in telling her the truth, “at my home, the shrine across from the park, I have a well. This well transports me back to the feudal era whenever I want. When I saw you were poisoned I knew that the hospital could not cure you but here they could. So, I took you through the well and we fixed you up here.” Kagome could only imagine how crazy this sounded to the boy she just met. The strange thing is he looked more puzzled then scared or shocked like she thought he would be.

 

“How do you even know about demons? Most people wouldn't know that I was poisoned, how did you?” Kurama looked at her expectantly.

 

Kagome was slightly taken aback; `did this boy know about demons too?'

 

“I spend half my time here. I have been trained to fight demons and many of my friends have been poisoned. I eventually learned all about the poisons and everything like that. This has been my life for about three years.” She then returned Kurama's steady gaze. “Now could I ask you, how do you know of demons?”

 

“I work as a spirit detective and I fight demons in our time.” Kurama replied.

 

“That sounds like interesting work.” Kagome said with a smile. Kurama silently wondered why she came to this place in the first place, but decided it was too personal.

 

“Well Miss . . . Kagome you said right?” Kagome nodded her head. “When can I get back to my time, or can I get back at all?”

 

Kagome frowned and turned away from him and began to ladle out some water from a pail. “I don't know when you will be able to go back. Kaede says you are very injured and are not going to be able to walk let alone go back for a while. You can barely sit up so until you are healed up a bit, I'm sorry but you won't be able to go home.” She turned to face him and offered him some water.

 

Kurama accepted the water but paused to think before taking it. He looked at Kagome and confessed, “I have some friends that will be worried. I have no doubt in my mind that they are causing trouble thinking I have been kidnapped. I need to tell them I'm all right so they don't do any damage.” He was thinking more about Yusuke and Hiei, who knows what they would do if he was missing?

 

Kagome smiled again at Kurama, “If you really need to get a message to them I could tell them. I was planning on going back to get supplies in the morning, if you would like I could tell your friends.”

 

Kurama was worried for her safety if she would go, but he saw no alternative. No doubt his friends followed his trail of blood to the shrine. He didn't know what damage they could do to Kagome's house or other things. “Thank you, that would be extremely appreciated.” He drank his water while hoping that this would not end badly.

 

 

***Back with Yusuke***

 

Yusuke, Hiei, and Kuwabara, have just gone to see Koenma. Koenma said there was no way to go rescue Kurama from the well because they don't know where the portal goes. Koenma then commanded the three to watch the shrine in case anything strange happens or if someone returns from the well. If so they could stop that person and get Kurama back.

 

“Stupid toddler not knowing how to do anything.” Yusuke complained while picking the bark off the tree he was sitting under.

 

“Stop your whining, and keep watch.” Hiei growled to stop the spirit detective's noise. They were all watching the well waiting for someone to come through so they could get answers. As they waited some began to get impatient.

 

“How do we know that they will really be here? We've been waiting here all night! I'm tired, I'm hungry. I don't think they will come! Its already morning, let's think of another plan.” Just as Hiei stood up, ready to silence Kuwabara for good, a strong energy burst came from the well house.

 

 

***With Kagome ***

 

Kagome had spent most of the night talking with Kurama. She told him about the Jewel Shards and Naraku and how they were still looking for both. She told him all her stories with Sango, Shippo, Miroku, and InuYasha. She didn't mention the Kikyo stuff or any really personal details, just some of her adventures. In return Kurama told her about the Dark Tournament, his friends and some of their adventures. Kurama left out everything about Yoko and most personal things too. Kagome said goodbye to him and the others and walked up to the well. She wanted to go home and get some food for not only herself but also Kurama. He wasn't used to eating food from the Feudal era.

 

Kagome stood at the edge of the well and jumped into it. As always a strong energy engulfed her and she was transported home. When she arrived to her the modern era she climbed out using a rope ladder she had put in the well years ago. (Kuwabara was too dumb to see it)

 

Kagome climbed out of the well and began to open the doors of the well house. The second the doors were open there was a flash of silver and she was pushed into the wall with a sword pressed against her throat.

 

Before she realized what was happening a dark, dangerous voice said, “If you don't tell me what you did to Kurama I will take your head off.”

 

To say she was frightened would be an understatement. . .she was terrified. She looked at the man who had the sword to her throat. He was short, wearing black and had blood read eyes.

 

“Please don't hurt me! Kurama is fine, I didn't hurt him.” Kagome said while struggling to get loose.

 

“Give me one good reason to believe you. The smell of his blood is all over you.” Hiei pushed a little harder with the sword, a little blood dripped from her neck, she immediately stopped struggling. He had her pinned.

 

Kagome realized that this figure was a demon. This demon probably wanted to hurt Kurama, she wouldn't let that happen. Kagome went from scared to mad “Get off me.” Suddenly Hiei felt strong pain, a purifying pain. Kagome was purifying him! Without hesitation he retreated leaving Yusuke to fight the miko. Yusuke marched up to Kagome but didn't threaten her.

 

“You know Kurama, right? You said he was okay right?” He moved closer to her.

 

“Yes” Kagome replied while glaring at him and Hiei and stepping back.

 

“Okay then we won't hurt you, we just want our friend back.” Yusuke hoped she would listen to reason. Kagome was about to reply when Hiei hit her with the hilt of his sword and she fell unconscious.

 

“Hiei, what did you do that for? She was friendly.” Kuwabara said in shock.

 

“Not friendly to me! She caused me pain, I needed to stop her.” Hiei glared at her, “besides Koenma wanted to see her and it's easier if she is knocked out to get her to spirit world.”

 

Yusuke was very annoyed with Hiei but he couldn't blame Hiei for wanting to stop the purifying pain. “Well let's get her to Spirit world then.”

 

 

***Back to the Feudal era***

 

“Where is that wench? She shouldn't be allowed to go back to her time. She is just a shard detector, no use at all! Just because some human needs to tell his playmates he's okay, she has to run off again, what a dumb wench!” InuYasha yelled as he kicked a stone in anger.

 

Kurama was inside the hut listening to InuYasha's ramblings. For some reason InuYasha's insults were making him very angry. Luckily Kurama was healing faster then anyone would of imagined thanks to his abilities. He was a fast healer. Kurama could now sit up in bed and even get out of bed and walk a few steps. Unfortunately it exhausted him and he had to lie back down. He guessed that was because of the poison.

 

Kurama had been sitting on the bed when the little fox demon walked in. The little fox was crying and had a large bump on its head. Kurama felt pity for the little fox, what was his name again? Oh yes, Shippo.

 

Kurama leaned forward toward Shippo to look at the bruise. “Shippo, what happened, how did you get hurt?”

 

Shippo looked at Kurama and said “I yelled at InuYasha for making fun of my mommy, and he…he…he hit me really hard on the head!” The little fox began to cry again.

 

Kurama was now madder at InuYasha then he was before but he didn't show it. Instead he motioned for Shippo to sit next to him, “come here little fox, you can rest on this bed and I promise InuYasha won't hurt you anymore.”

 

Shippo was delighted, he ran up and jumped on to Kurama's bed, “Thank you, mommy usually protects me from that meanie-head but when she goes away I'm alone with him.”

 

Kurama couldn't help chuckle at how very cute the little fox was. Being a fox himself made him really sympathize with Shippo. Suddenly he realized what the little fox had said. . . “Shippo, is Kagome your mother?”

 

Shippo smiled brightly as he replied, “well she's not my real mother, but she takes care of me like no one else does so she is my adopted mother. I love my mommy.”

 

Kurama was relieved, but he didn't know why. Instead he just dazed off listening to the rambling InuYasha and a cute fox demon talk about his love for candy.

 

 

***In Spirit World***

 

Kagome awoke with a strong pain in her head. “What happened?” she groggily looked around and saw all the people she had seen before she lost consciousness. She was surprised and a little scared, `have they captured me?'

 

Her thoughts were interrupted when a little toddler walked up to her and said, “I am the Great Lord Koenma and I have sent my spirit detectives to retrieve you to find a lost comrade.”

 

Kagome struggled to get up but realized she had a strong rope tied around her. “Untie me this instant or I will purify you all. Now let me go.” Anger coursed through her voice as glared at them.

 

“It's no use missy! Those ropes will prevent you from using your energy to get lose or purify. So tell me, where is my spirit detective?” the annoying toddler asked.

 

“Untie me now!!!!! Wait, did you say Spirit Detective?” Kagome settled down a bit knowing Kurama said he was a spirit detective.

 

“Yes, Kurama, my spirit detective, he has gone missing and I know you know where he is.”

 

“I do know where he is and I will tell you if you untie me.” Kagome didn't like being tied up, it made her scared and feel constricted. She knew these guys look like the friends Kurama described so she would tell them the truth. Unfortunately Hiei had a different plan.

 

“Tell me right now or I cut off your head.” Hiei held his sword to her neck for the second time that night. He glared at her and she didn't have the slightest doubt he would do it.

 

Kagome was no fool, she knew to cooperate. “Kurama is in Feudal Japan and he is recovering.”

 

Koenma started talking now. “Miss just tell us what happened”

 

Kagome nodded then told them how she found Kurama and where he was now. They then asked her how she found out about the well. She told them about how on her fifteenth birthday she fell in the well and a little bit about the Jewel shards. Hiei's sword never left her throat.

 

Koenma was in a panic! How in the world could there have been this kind of portal and he never knew about it? His dad was going to kill him. The tiny spirit ruler paced back and forth in front of Kagome, it made her a little dizzy.

 

“How do you get through the well? When I tried to get through, I just fell on my head” Kuwabara said.

 

“That isn't the first time you've done that,” Yusuke murmured loud enough for every one to hear.

 

“Shut up Urameshi!” Kuwabara yelled.

 

“I use the sacred jewel shards to pass through the well.” Kagome said while still staring at the sword at her throat wishing it would disappear.

 

“Alright if your story is true you can take us to Kurama. On the other hand if it's not we might be going into a trap.” Yusuke said while trying to think of what to do.

 

“I am telling the truth. Untie me and I will gladly take you to Kurama,” Kagome tried to reason with them.

 

“No, how about you take us to Kurama? If you are telling the truth, we might untie you,” Hiei said with a creepy calmness.

 

Kagome really didn't have a choice. “Okay I will take you to him but please remove your sword from my neck.” After Hiei sheathed the sword, Botan opened a portal that transported the group to Kagome's shrine.

 

When the group landed at the shrine Hiei roughly carried the tied up Kagome to the well house with the others in close pursuit.

 

“If this is a trap, I will hunt you down and kill you myself” Yusuke yelled as they held on to Kagome to jump into the well to the Feudal era.
