Kagome hadn't thought that venturing off for firewood on her own would lead to such a discovery. But there it stood, perfectly visible (to her at least) on a hill not to far away. The clearing she'd entered, a pile of sticks clutched carefully in her arms as she walked, had opened up the sky and over the tips of the trees she could see the delapedated buildings.
'But he cant be here, Inuyasha would have sense him.' Kagome thought staring at the crumbling walls from her place at the edge of the clearing.
She took tentative steps into the clearing, listening and feeling, trying to sense anything. But not even her miko powers were telling her something was amiss. The air around her was fresh, she couldn't feel a demonic aura, or hear the buzzing of the saimyosho. She looked into the cerulean sky but saw no Kagura floating about on her feather. Perhaps the place was deserted, or perhaps it was a trap. Either way, she decided not to take a step closer until she'd called for Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha!! Come look at this!"

Naraku watched as the miko scurried through the grounds of his phantom castle. How dumb was she she couldn't even sense his aura. Kikyo surely could have, even though he is rather powerful. Not even her hanyou friend Inuyasha had come running, and yet he allowed the barrier to be open. These people were fools.
"Ku..Ku..Ku..," the noise errupted from his throat.
He wondered what he could do to this miko. Should he play a trick to make her seem insane, or should he just expose his self to her. Either way it wouldn't matter he could easily entertain himself with the young miko Kagome. She had a fragile heart so that would play a big part in it.
Naraku began to prepare to play an illusionary trick on Kagome. He sent out so Saimyosho who were hidden. They would go sting her releasing their poison into her system, that would probably make her a bit woozy and vulnerable. Then is when he would play the illusion on her. But until that moment happened he would sit and wait.

Kagome moved through the break in the castles outer walls, entering the courtyard where the deep gashes from past battles scarred the land. Kagome shivered remembering all the times she'd seen bloodshed here. The roof was caved in one of the buildings and as she approached she paused, hearing something familiar.
"Inuyasha?" she called, turning around to look at the wall, wondering if he was coming yet. "Is that you?"
She waited, her eyes scanning the wall and the forest that swayed softly outside it. She wanted to leave, to wander back to her friends, but something was holding her there, curiousity perhaps, but whatever it was she couldn't seem to pull away. She turned her head back around the distinctly familiar sound of buzzing filling her ears. The Saimyosho came pouring from the doorway of the broken building, and she knew that even if she turned to run she'd still be caught. There were too many of them.

Naraku's Castle comes into plain sight. Still on the horse, that Altair stole to escape from. Altair dismounts and looks up to the ominous castle. A soft cold breeze sends a chill down his back. Walking slwoly with caution towards the enterance of the castle, Altair could feel the piece of Eden react to the magic of the castle. Taking out the piece of Eden Altair is able to enter the barrier. Altair enters the courtyard of the castle he can see a young girl woundering around, and judging from the way she's walking she appears to be injured. Walking up to her, Altair places his right hand on her should and speaks with a middle estern acsent. Ecuse me, but may I wounder what your doing here?

Naraku watched through Kanna's mirror as the miko turned to find a hoard of Saimyosho pouring out of a door of the castle to her. He wondered why she didn't run? Didn't she know that they were poisonous? Or was it just beyond her mental capability. Either way Naraku knew he was going to get control of her mind.
The Saimyosho got closer and closer to Kagome until one landed on her skin. Maybe in time she could purify it, but there was no one she could get them all. They would soon swarm her and sting her, not causing too much damage of course. He wanted to have fun with this miko's mind.
Naraku's laughter boomed through the entire castle. He was sure Kagome would hear him for sure to let her know that he was there. She would probably want to search for him but he was too well hidden for that. Inuyasha couldn't even find him with his keen sense of smell.
"Soon your mind will be mine miko,"he said in a low voice to himself.
He noticed a new figure in his castle. He would ruin his entire ploy if he didn't get him out of here soon. How had he been able to get into his castle Naraku didn't know. Naraku was infuriated but he kept his cool demeanor for the moment. He would just have to incorporate him into his little plot.

Kagome turned, her head suddenly so confused. The Saimyosho's venom was coursing through her veins. Her knees were skinned from where she'd fallen attempting to get away. Her neck was bleeding from the sting, and she was sure the stinger was still in it. Her vision was clouding, but only around the edges. And sounds were suddenly echoed.
"Naraku...we ha-ahh." Kagome dropped to her knees, both hands clutching the side of her neck.
Then the world around her went black as she passed out at the strangers feet.

Watching the girl pass out next to him, Altair could hear laughter, but is unable to tell where it was comin from. Being an assassin, he does not fear death, but also to aid people when they need it the most. Altair picks up the girl, and begins to head for the exit. The piece of Eden begins to glow brighter, almost like a blinding flash of orange light.

Naraku watched as the miko Kagome fell helplessly to the ground. He could now began his little ploy. In her illusion she would see a dark scene unfold upon her. A light would shine on the miko, leaving a feeling of aloneness. It was a feeling that he had learned that she didn't like especially with the scene that was about to unfold.
Another light shined on another place revealing to lone figures. One wearing a fire rat robe and the other wearing priestess garments. They were embracing each other their faces glued together. The scene was no longer dark but a forest. She was at the camp with all of her friends, Sango,Miroku and Shippou. They were not frowning upon Inuyasha for doing this but cheering the two on. "Hooray, Hooray for Kikyou and Inuyasha," They would say.
Distracting himself from the illusion Naraku looked at the figurine of the man. He was taking Kagome towards the end of the barrier. He sealed it tight so he wouldn't be able to get out. This barrier that he erected was one of the strongest in Japan and barely anyone could penetrate it. The one placed earlier was just to lead the lonely miko here.
"Put her down now foolish man,"The dark hanyou commanded as his voice boomed throughout the entire area.

Kagome watched the scene unfold behind her eyes, but she believed it to be reality. She was watching Inuyasha and Kikyo together and felt her heart breaking. Tears were streaming now uncontrollably, and she could feel herself shaking. She stood there, staring, and watched as they parted, Kikyou embracing Inuyasha and holding him close to her. Then the dead priestess turned her head and looked directly at Kagome, that dead stare of hers sending Kagome reeling. She stumbled backward and fell, for what felt like forever, the image of Inuyasha with Kikyou replaying within the illusion.
In the real world Kagome was still passed out in the strangers arms, her head bobbing as he walked, her dark hair swinging with his movements. Her arm dangled lifelessly, her blood dripping from her neck and staining the pristine shirt she'd been wearing. Tears all the while streamed from her unopened eyes.

Just before Altair could leave the castle, he is stopped by a unholy barrier. Turning around, Altair gently puts down the girl, and takes out the piece of Eden. The piece of Eden shines a bright orange. I have stood before a thousand enemies, and all of them dead by my hand. Suddenly The piece of Eden reacts, and creates nine idenical imeges of himself. The Altair's draw their sabers, and prepar to fight as one of them protects the girl.

"Ku..Ku..Ku..You shouldn't have let the girl go. She is now in my control,"Naraku's voice echoed through out the entire castle grounds. He erected a barrier around Kagome making her seemingly lifeless body float and disappear into some place within the castle. Naraku would wait here for the man to come and get the miko. Then he would get his puppet and attack him.
OOC: sorry this is super sucky

The winds blew threw InuYasha's hair the others had broke up during travel and now it seems like InuYasha is facing a barrier one he could break threw, which he did. It would of been hard a few years ago but now he cut threw it like wind. A flock of demons appeared by him. "Damn these demons, I smell blood..." Thousands of demons swarm after him it was only a matter of time before he got he, a demon that he missed caught him. There was a deep cut in his left arm, he was pissed at himself for letting it happen. Soon after InuYasha used the wind scare destroying the remaining demons after hi. "Narku your behind this I know, I'll kill you with all my strength if Kagomes injured."
InuYasha found himself facing Narkus castle blood was following his trail but he used his arm as if nothing had happened to it. There he saw Kagome lay on the ground next to a person he had never seen before, without thinking InuYasha had figured to himself the he had hurt her. Without a warning InuYasha flew next to him punching him attempting to knock him to the ground. "damn you!" InuYasha shouted at the person as he ran over. "What did you do to her?"

Kagome's mind was still trapped in the illusion. She was now curled up sitting in the middle of a dark open space. It almost felt like there was nothing there, like it was just space, big empty space.
"Inuyasha?" she said softly, not lifting her chin from her knees where it rested. "Are you there? Is anyone there?"
Her body hovered in one of the few whole rooms in the castle. She was alone, her hair hanging limply like a black curtain beneath her body. Little white speckles of light floated around her, under over and sometimes even through her very body. They circled her making her glow a soft white. The room was small, and a sliding screen seperated her from the door. Candles burned on the ground around her the wax covering the floor.
Her voice was soft and almost inaudible. The flicker of the flames was haunting. "Help me." Her almost lifeless floating body murmered. "Please."

He gazed into Kanna's mirror as he saw he had another visitor. The inu-hanyou had arrived. Finally his plan could move into action. He would keep the miko prisoner until Inuyasha would come and get her. Or so he would think he would get her. Naraku would keep playing his mind games until he ran out of ideas.
Oh..this was good. The foolish hanyou had blamed the other visitor for the sleeping Kagome. Maybe if he was lucky enough they would kill each other and they would both be out of his hair. That would be the day...but for now Naraku could only dream. He sent out some of his Saimyosho, masking their appearance into a butterfly looking animal. Maybe he could trick these two into an illusion of his.
Naraku watched as the miko began to awake from her illusion. Maybe the Saimyosho poison wasn't strong enough to keep her in that illusion much longer. That was another thing on his list that he would have to improve upon, number one being strengthening his barrier. Naraku let out a sigh...he would have to go visit the miko himself and quit hiding behind his hidden barrier.
His feet lifted his body up and he began to walk to the dark room were Kagome was in. It wasn't but a few doors down from his actual room. Naraku slid the door open and watched the miko. "Are you there? Is anyone there?"She called out into the darkness. Kagome muttered some other words but he didn't care for those one bit.
"I'm here, and no one will come and help you. Not Inuyasha, not even your so called friends," He said recalling the illusion. He brought forth Kanna and showed her the mirror. In it was Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku, Shippou and Kikyo all back at the camp. Of course it wasn't true but it was all part of his ploy. He was going to break Kagome one way or another.
"You see they don't care about you,"His deep voice said to her. The fake people in the mirror were happy and laughing and having fun not even noticing that Kagome was missing. He hoped that she would fall for this and maybe he would have himself a new prisoner.
