Our beloved Inuyasha had been swept up by the guards without much of a fight, considering that it was very late at night and most of the patrol was up on the walls. Although, he did leave three or four guards a bit trussed up. Sadly, Sango noted that those poor soldiers would have large goose eggs on their heads. (A/N my mom always called lumps on the head goose-eggs. Anyone else call them that?)
Inuyaha had wanted to creep into the castle unannounced. That way, he could have snooped around and make sure his half-brother wasn't hiding Kagome from him. Unfortunately, things hadn't exactly gone to plan.

He'd moved along down the stairs down to where the prison cells were, figuring that would be the place to find Kagome. Pausing alongside a corner of the cell doorway, Inuyasha peeked around the corner. Two guards were sitting at a table eating.
"Shippo." He looked to the kitsun. Inuyaha's eyes had bulged when he saw a beautiful serving girl in the kitsun's place.
"Don't worry, Inuyasha! I got this!" the boy had whispered as he marched into the cell area. The guards looked up sharply with their hands resting on the hilts of their swords.
"What are you doing here, Girl?" the larger of the two asked with a slight bite in his voice.
"Oh, I was just wondering if you men needed anything. Water? Wine?" Shippo asked lightly in a false, sweet voice.
"Wine would be nice…But since we are on duty we can't have anu. Does your overseer know where you are?" the smaller one asked. Shippo had almost groaned at the foolish man. Was his disguise that good?
"Oh, she let me off for the rest of the night. All my duties are complete." Shippo started.
"Uhhhh… Girl… I don't mean to sound … uh … rude… But what's coming out of your rear?" the larger one asked. Shippo whipped around in time to catch sight of his tail.
"AHHH!" In that instant, the spell was broken and poor Shippo had found himself dangling in the smaller one's grasp. Before Inuyasha could knock them out, the larger one had pulled the alarm

Kagome was shaken awake from her pillow-bed on the floor. Groggily, she peered up at Sesshomaru's face.
"Master?" she rubbed her eyes and sat up.
"Get in your Neko form, and do not dare to even think about turning human until this Sesshomaru gives you specific permission," He ordered and crouched next to her.
"Wha-what has happened?" she didn't expect an answer, and she felt her body begin to slide into her cat form.
"The Hanyou, Inuyasha, is here. He intends to take you away." He scowled lightly down on her as she finished the transformation.
"Good Girl. Up on the bed." He pointedly said as he moved the covers back. She leapt up onto the cushiony coverlet and curled up on the foot of the bed. After he dealt with the half-breed, he would probably have a head ache.
"But that means I get another back massage. I might even let her play with my hair again" Sesshomaru mused. He had thoroughly enjoyed the position he'd woken up in. She had fallen asleep within his embrace, and he found himself half covering her. Her small body had half rolled onto her stomach and half on her side, her head laying under his. His leg covered her own and his bottom leg was under her hip, making it so that she was even closer to her. His hair had beautifully mixed into hers.
In the night lighting, she looked like an angel in her white clothing. The white top barely showed her stomach skin, but the white of her clothing made the skin stand out further. Her white skirt hung off her hips in just the right way and came to her knees. "A wonderful image," he had thought at the time, before he had placed her back on her pillow.
His mind shifted back to present as Kagome yawned, her feline fangs showing, as her claws stretched out of her paws. He slid himself back up onto the bed and rested against the head board. He drew one knee up and let his arm rest across his knee cap and watched his cat curl up and try to go to back sleep. Just as she finally settled down, there came a noise from the door and then a soft, timid knock.
"Enter." He didn't bother looking away from his neko. The door opened and some angry looking guards pulled four disgruntled people in: two humans, a youkai, and a hanyou.
"Why is it that you have come to this Sesshomaru's castle?" Sesshomaru finally turned and looked pointedly at Inuyasha. Something about the white haired hanyou struck Kagome as familiar, but she had expected that since her master had told her that she had been with the hanyou before her rescue. But it was the kitsune that struck a chord inside her. She slunk on her belly, closer to Sesshomaru's leg.
"Since when did you get a pet? Poor thing probably doesn't get any care from you!" Inuyasha glared at his brother, surprised to see an animal in his brother's room. Especially a cat.
"Inuyasha, we didn't come to ask him about his personal life. Sesshomaru-sama, we need your help." Miroku once again hit Inuyasha over the head with his staff.
"Help with what, Houshi?" Sesshomaru turned cold eyes on the houshi-dono, but before the perverted priest could answer the kitsune spoke up.
"Kagome is missing!" and then the dam broke. Torrents of tears washed down the small face.
"I want Kagome back! She-she's been gone for so long!" the boy closed his eyes and continued to cry. Before anyone could react, though, Shippo found a pair of slender arms tucked around him, pulling him into a tight hug.
"Please don't cry!" a familier voice cried.
"K-kagome?" everyone gasped.
"Kagome! What were your orders?!" Sesshomaru thundered. He moved off his bed and grabbed Kagome by the back of her neck. Quickly, she morphed back into her neko form and hung limply in his grasp.
"YOU! YOU TOOK KAGOME!" Inuyasha pulled tessinga from its sheath.
"Kagome!" Shippo screamed and tried to jump for her, though Sango grabbed him, holding him back, and Miroku's lips pressed together tightly as he watched.
"This is my pet neko." Sesshomaru strode to his private bathroom and tossed Kagome in it and closed the door quickly.
"NO! WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER?! I WILL RIP YOU TO SHREDS!" Inuyasha cried as he raised his youki sword.
Kagome whimpered as she hit the cold flooring and let herself slip back into human form. She rolled onto her back and tried to lay still in order regain her breath as she listened to the fighting group outside of the door.
And then everything came crashing down. Memories flooded her mind. The crying kitsune was Shippo. She had pulled a binding arrow from Inuyaha, the hanyou. Sango was the youkai exterminator whose entire village had been killed. Miroku was the perverted monk who planned to marry Sango when Naraku was dead.
She sat up and moved towards the door. She tried pulling the door open, but the wood wouldn't move.
"Please! Master Sesshomaru! Let me out!" she begged. Remembering all these things in her past didn't change the present, she reasoned, and therefore, she would continue calling him "Master."
"Inuyasha! Leave! You are distressing this Sesshomaru's neko and only making This One angrier. Kitsune, Slayer, and Houshi, you may stay for a short time." Sesshomaru offered.
Shocked silence could only be heard, along with Kagome's soft whimpers.
