Chapter 13: Captured
"Well I knew that was going to happen."
'Sorry Hikari.'
"That's fine don't worry about it. Alright Bye." Hikari stated then she hung up the phone.
"So what's going on?" Zen asked.
"The parties canceled. That means that I should probably go back now."
"Why?"
"Because I promised." She answered rubbing the back of her neck.
"Well then how about I walk you back." Zen offered.
"That would be nice." Hikari answered walking up the steps.
Zen walked into the kitchen "Hey Anko is it alright if I go over to Hikari's for a few days?" He asked.
"That's fine sweetie." Anko said smiling at him.
With in a few minuets they were out the door and on their way to Hikari's house. It takes about 20 minuets to get the Higurashi Shrine and up the stairs.
'If I'm going to do my job I better do it now.' The thought looking at Hikari out of the corner of his eye.
Hikari opened the door to the shrine. Once she took a step in someone hit her with a left hook and she started to fall. The same person who punched her grabbed her wrist and pulled her against his body.
"Daisuke you bastard it's my job to capture her not yours." Zen shouted.
"Actually no it's not. I don't remember Naraku ever completely giving you my job." Daisuke smirked picking up Hikari bridal style. "Well see you later." He laughed jumping down the well.
"You damn bastard get back here." The blonde shouted jumping down the well after Daisuke.
~feudal era~
"When is she getting back?" Akio groaned leaning against the well.
"I told you she'll be back tonight." Rokuro sighed watching the clouds go by.
Suddenly Daisuke came flying out of the well. Rokuro and Akio looked up.
"HIKARI!" They shouted on unison as they saw Hikari's unconscious body in Daisuke's arms.
"Oh it's you two again." Daisuke sighed looking down at Hikari's friends.
"Give her back." Rokuro demanded.
"Ah no." Daisuke laughed.
He glanced over at the well it started to glow blue.
"I'd love to stay and chat but I've got to get going." Daisuke stated flying away.
~Dusk~
Hikari eyes snapped open. "OW!" She shouted as her cheek was throbbing.
Her hands were bound behind her back. She realized that someone must have taken the necklace off of her because she had her silver bangs back. Her bag and sword were leaning against the wall opposite of her. The room was a good size it was big enough for two people to sleep in. There were no windows in the room and the walls were blank.
"Knock, knock I'm coming in." Daisuke laughed walking into the room. "I figured that you would wake up sooner if I took off your necklace."
"So you're the one that took it off of me."
"Don't get all worked up I put it in your bag." He sighed leaning against the wall perpendicular to Hikari.
"Where are we?" She asked not getting up off the floor.
"We're in Naraku's castle. Oh and sorry about knocking you out. I knew that you would listen to reason so I went with option two." He replied.
"That was a cheep shot. Where's Zen you didn't do anything to him did you?" She shouted.
"Zen's fine I didn't do anything to him." Daisuke answered.
Hakudoshi and the blonde walked into the room.
"What you don't know how to knock first before entering." Daisuke smirked.
"Naraku wants to see Hikari." Hakudoshi said looking at Daisuke.
*Sigh* "Fine, come on Hikari lets go." Daisuke sighed helping Hikari up off the ground.
They went through a series of hallways and into a room where there was only one window that allowed the last bit of sun light to show through.
"Hello Hikari." Naraku greeted taking off the hood to this cloak.
Naraku has long black hair and he looked to be in his early 20's.
"So this is the daughter of that priests and the retched half demon." He stated walking up to Hikari and placing a hand on her cheek.
His hand was ice cold and Hikari winced when he touched her cheek.
"Why do you flinch?" He asked peacefully placing his thumb and pointer finger on her chin and slightly turning her head so he could see her cheek.
There was a burse on her cheek.
"Daisuke I thought I told you not to hurt her." Naraku stated looking towards the blue haired demon.
"You idiot you left a burse." The blonde shouted.
"You think I don't know that." Daisuke glared back.
The blonde went at Daisuke. Hikari got out of Naraku's grip and ran towards the blonde and slammed her shoulder into his stomach.
"What the hell do you think you're doing? You two are on the same side." Hikari yelled and the blonde.
"Shut up." He replied back handing Hikari making her fly backwards and hit the ground.
She started bleeding.
"Hikari!" Daisuke whispered.
"Take her back to the room and bandage her wound. I'll ask her my question later." Naraku ordered.
"Yes Sir." Daisuke answered picking Hikari up and walking back to the room.
"Hikari I'm sorry." Daisuke whispered walking out of the room.
~Later that night~
"Hikari, Hikari please wake up."
"What?" Hikari groaned as she tried to get her sight to focus.
"Zen? Zen is that really you?"
"I don't have much time." He whispered untying the rope that bound Hikari's hands.
"Hikari you have to go. Go down this hallway then turn left once you get to a four corners take a right and half way down that hallway to your left is the door, run straight through the barrier and get as far away from here as you can." He instructed handing Hikari her bag and sword.
"Zen why are you telling me this? Aren't you going to come with me?" Hikari questioned taking her things.
"No; I'm not going with you because…Ahh." Zen started then he clutched his chest and fell to his knees.
'No I'm out of time.'
"Zen what's wrong?" Hikari asked taking a step towards her friend.
"Hikari get away from me. Get out of here. Ahh." Zen demanded looking up at here with midnight blue eyes.
"No Zen." Hikari whispered.
Wings burst from his back "Hikari go NOW!" He shouted motioning his hand towards her.
"NO ZEN!" She screamed going to grab his hand but it was to late he already teleported her out side the barrier of the castle.
She looked at the castle one last time then turned and ran.
This is just a dream. This is just a dream.' She thought as tears streamed down her face.
She didn't care where she was going all she wanted to do was get away.
~Back at the castle~
"What?"
"Hakudoshi go after her and bring her back."
"Yes my lord." Then Hakudoshi left.
Naraku looked back towards the blonde. "Maybe I need to tighten the chains on your soul so you can not disobey me again."
"No stop!" Zen pleaded backing away, but it was too late Naraku had already gotten a hand on him.
"You are too resilient. Obey me Zen." Naraku shouted placing a hand on Zen's face.
A shock wave went through Zen's body causing him to stumble.
"Now go after her and bring her back." Naraku ordered.
"Yes my lord." Zen replied his eyes were hazed over.
~With Hikari~
Hikari leaned against a tree to catch her breath.
'How long have been running?' She thought looking up at the sky.
She couldn't run any more she had to stop. She leaned against a tree but kept a tight grip on her sword. She soon fell asleep.
~A Little Later~
A young girl was skipping along with her father when something caught her eye.
"Father what is that?" She questioned running over to Hikari.
