Kagome’s father dragged her down the stairs, and out of the house, unknowingly worsening her wounds, as she tried to get free. He pushed her outside, which was raining again, and shut the door. The last thing she heard was her mother crying.

As soon as he was out the front door, Sesshoumaru doubled back and came to sit on a branch of a tree that was next to Kagome’s window, waiting for the night. As he watched Kagome’s mother yell at her daughter, his mind began to nag at him

Are you just going to leave her like that?
Hn?
I’m your conscience, fool. I ask again; are you just going to leave the poor girl?
There is nothing else for me to do
Aren’t you going to help her? If you don’t she’ll vbe dead by morning
I know. And no doubt Naraku will either come himselfor send someone for the job
So you’re using her as BAIT
She is nothing but a human. I do not care about her life as long as it gets me something I want, and I want Naraku. She's going to die sooner or later, might as well be useful
You’re a selfish, heartless, cold, arrogant jerk.
Glad you noticed
Do something!
Knowing Naraku, he’ll probably send a demon to kill her. I can use it to my advantage.
Is that all you care about? Naraku Naraku Naraku. You are obsessed.
Naraku kills plenty of people everyday. Hers is no concern of mine. I do not chase him around so I can clean up his mess.
You’ve never been able to save a girl before. A girl who’s been raped by Naraku

Sesshoumaru pushed his thoughts to the back of his mind as both of Kagome’s parents came in the room. He stood up and his eyes narrowed as his ears picked up what they were fighting about. He watched as the human girl was dragged off by someone who appeared to be her father. Cursing, he jumped to their roof and in moments saw her thrown out the door.

Kagome leaned against the wall, starting to hyperventilate. They kicked her out. ‘I can’t believe it… What do I do? Oh Kami-sama, I won’t let it end like this!’ She was by no means stupid.

In fact, she was exceptionally smart, and, finding herself between a rock and a hard place, forced herself not to panic. Kagome knew Naraku would come after her and finish her off. An outsider could not expect to see his face and live for very long.

But even as the rain lifted darkness fell, throwing her completely in darkness, as she heard a soft ‘whoosh’ behind her. Kagome whipped aroud, her eyes searching, while she gripped the jacket even tighter around her. Another ‘whoosh’ came from her left, and another one from her right, until she wasn’t sure how many demons were present.

‘Think, Kagome’ She slowly backed up until she stood under a dim pool of light cast by the street lights that lit the long stairway connecting the shrine to the main road. Slowly, dark, hazy figures surrounded her. Kagome gulped, sweat forming on her forehead. Someone stepped in to the light, neither Naraku nor Onigumo.

”Is this her?” he asked no one in particular.
”Yes. I can smell Naraku all over her” answered someone from Kagome’s right.
”You’re right” he leaned down and sniffed, making Kagome step back against the post. He grinned. “You’re coming with us, missy. Naraku’s orders” he talked as if she would be more than willing to obey him. “Come quietly and you won’t get hurt. He says you’re not to be harmed, but I don’t think he’ll mind too much if I cause some damage to your pretty face. You’re not looking too good to begin with are you?” He grabbed her upper arm in a painful grip.

”Don’t touch me!” Kagome screamed and pulled away. Before she could do anything else she found herself pinned to the iron bar behind her by a claw around her neck and another covering her mouth. She watched in horror as a ripple went through her shadow, which came from another shadow that was touching the man holding her.

Kagome fought against him but the two of them started to sink into their shadows, as if they were standing on a quicksand, the same way NAraku disappeared.Kagome screamed and grabbed onto the street light, but she was sucked in up to her knees already. She bit down on the hand over her mouth. Its owner yelled in pain as blood dripped down.

”Get away from me!” she repeatedly hit everything in her reach, and was rewarded with a massive fist in her face that broke her nose.

He grabbed her hair and yanked her away from the pole, shoving her further down to the void that she really didn’t want to know where it led to. But it was too late. Her shadow was past her waist now. Kagome felt like she was drowning in darkness.

“NOOO!” she reached her hand out, trying to grab on to something. She was in up to her neck, and an unnatural chill covered her body as she sank completely, her hand waving.

The last thing she remembered was a flash of silver and black, feeling something grab her hand as she fell into a depth of cold emptiness, and hearing someone yell things she didn’t understand before she blacked out.

A/N Woo hoo another chapter. I know its really short! Review Review!
