"Here's your cell", the guard said before shoving Inuyasha into a small metal room with a old rusty bed.
Inuyasha fell harshley onto the floor. Before he got up he heard a very loud, clang! He turned around and it turned out to be the cell door. Inuyasha took in a deep breath, he's been on edge since he was deemed guilty.
The boy looked around the cell, at least he didn't have a roommate. Then again, he wished he had someone to at least talk to. What was he going to do now? He'll be tortured until his ultimate death. The worst part is his father, er, Inu no taisho banished him from the family so he had no one to help him in his situation. Inuyasha sighed, Inu no taisho even forced him to give back all the cloths that he had been wearing. Now Inuyasha was wearing a orange prison suit, at least it was better than nothing.
Inuyasha walked over to the bed and sat down, that trial was unfair. Maybe he'll get a appeal? After seeing everyone's reaction, he'd doubt that. So he was just going to die? He didn't want to die, he was innocent! For now, he'll just have to hope for the best. He's just too young to die, he wasn't a murder.
He was just so tired, since he have nothing else to do he might as well go to sleep. Besides what else does he have to lose? The boy then laid down on the bed and closed his eyes, soon he was fast asleep.
Somewhere in a battlefield a war raged on.
It was a bloody and hard war, it never seemed to end. These two opponents would often battle on for days without stopping. One side wanted to save people and give them freedom, even old foes put aside their differences to stop the other side. The other side was evil and full of hate, they wanted to enslave the people and control their mind and bodies bringing darkness to the land.
The good side was called the Resistance, they only sought to help others and defend all things that are still good. While the other side was called the Kage, who soldiers are being mind controlled.
The one leading the battle was a young man dressed in red. He had dog ears, silver hair, and amber eyes.
A soldier came up to the half breed and said in panic, "Captain Inuyasha, we're losing to them by their great numbers. What should we do?"
Inuyasha quickly ordered, "Then we need to focus on evacuating the villages beyond the tree line. Their safety comes first, so until the evacuation is complete we will drive back these forces. Give the new to plan to all remaining troop leaders."
The soldier nodded and did his captain's bidding. Inuyasha step forward into the battle scene and drew his sword, tessaiga, transforming it into a much larger form as his soldiers moved away from him he held the sword up then in hard motion swinged it down. Suddenly a large blast erupted from the sword as many troops of the kage was taken town with one swing, however, that was only a very small fraction of all of the troops together. At least he was able to buy his men some more time.
And then without a second thought Inuyasha ran into the remaining army taking the opposing side down a few men at a time. Suddenly out of nowhere the man was struck in his side as he let out a painful scream.
Inuyasha gasped awake holding his side, what a nightmare! He looked around his cell calming down, so it was a dream after all. But it felt so real! Almost like a memory.
He was about to go back to bed when the cell door opened and two men stormed in towards him. They cuffed him and chained him down with a metal ball before they lead the boy into the hallway. 'Where are they taking me?', was Inuyasha's only thought at the time as they lead him into a chamber with a seperate box like room that has a clear window for the audience to view from. Inside the chamber Inu no taisho sat with his family, who were old enough to view the spectacle. Next to the takahashi family sat Kikyo's family the higurashi, the mother of kikyo was giving a insane smile when he looked at her while Inu no taisho just looked away.
The boy wondered what they were doing here, but didn't have a chance to figure it out as he was dragged to the box like room. Inside there were instruments of torture along with a chair Inside a tank.
Inuyasha was lead to a door leading inside of the tank then he was forced to sit down on the chair as he was strapped to it. Starting to panic, he struggled unsuccessfully against the straps. After a few moments he heard a high ranking police officer announce to the group, "Welcome to the torture chamber, today we are torturing Inuyasha for the first time. But don't worry it won't be the last, now let's enjoy the show!"
Inuyasha struggled even more, they were going to torture him!? And they're going to watch, how sick!
Suddenly the tank began to fill with water, Inuyasha tried to avoid the water but he was not only strapped down by the chair. He was also chained down by two heavy metal balls, so the only thing he could do was take a deep breath and hold it there. Were they going to torture and kill him at the same time? No, they said it wouldn't be the last time. Then what were they trying to do to him?
That's when the tank filled completely and Inuyasha felt dizzy due to the lack of oxygen. Suddenly out of nowhere a electric shock zapped through the entire tank, Inuyasha was forced to let go of the breath he had been holding in as he was zapped painfully. So much so, that he would've scream if he hadn't been in water.
At the same time he felt blurry memories flow through him, memories that he's never seen before. The memories were of war, pain, and happy memories too. But they were only there for a brief second before they disappeared again, it happened so fast that he couldn't remember them or figure what they were about. The boy without a second thought, rubbed it off as a hallucination before he was zapped again.
After a few more zaps Inuyasha started lose consciousness as the room darkened before him, he slowly wondered of this was all some bad dream.
Inuyasha snapped awake as memories filled his mind he began to scream.
'Will you calm down? Man, your such a wimp', a voice echoed from somewhere. Inuyasha calmed down and became more cautious as he looked around the cell to find no one around.
"Who are you? Where are you?" Inuyasha questioned.
'You can hear me?', the voice asked in a surprised tone.
"Yeah, so are you going to answer me?", Inuyasha said sarcastically.
'Don't talk to me like that!', the voice roared angrily.
"So, I can do whatever I want", Inuyasha commented as he snorted childishly.
'We can argue later, right now we need to focus on getting out of here! Since you obviously don't know who I am, I'll make this quick. I am a part of you, I come from your sole. It might not seem like it, but I've always been a part of you since you were brought into existence.', The voice attempted to explain but Inuyasha interrupted him.
"A part of me? Yeah right! why should I listen to you!?", Inuyasha said harshly
'Because I'm the only chance you've got and your all alone in this.', the voice said seriously.
Inuyasha's dog ears folded back in defeat, the voice was right he was alone. Inuyasha then straighten up and said, "Fine, I'll trust you for now. But if you betray me, I won't listen to you ever again."
'Deal, you may call me Inu.', Inu introduced himself.
"You can call me Inuyasha.", Inuyasha said.
'I already knew that, but nice to meet you Inuyasha.', Inu finished his introduction.
"What now?", Inuyasha asked.
'First off you need to stop talking to yourself, I speaking to you through your head. So you look pretty stupid, don't worry just think like your talking and I'll understand you.', Inu said to Inuyasha in a snickering tone.
'Like this', Inuyasha growled in his head at Inu.
'Yep, now we just need a plan to escape.', Inu calmed down as he went into a serious tone.
"How? And why do you care?", Inuyasha asked.
'If you were listening, I am a part of you. If anything happens to you, it happens to me as well.', Inu explained.
Inuyasha nodded as he finally noticed the burns all over his body. Wow, that must've been one shock, he wonders if the burns will scar.
Inu interrupted the boy,'Don't worry, with our healing abilities those burns will heal by tomorrow. For example, they don't hurt, right?'
Inuyasha answered Inu amazed, 'yeah, they don't. Wait, what abilities?'
Inu added, 'you have supernatural abilities, I know all about you. it's just too much to explain right now. Especially since you haven't received them all back yet, I'll explain later. For now let's focus on finding a way out of this place.'
Inuyasha had no choice but to comply because Inu was right, he was all he had left. What is the boy supposed to do? He barely even knew Inu, but he'll have to trust the voice if he wants to survive this place.
It felt like hours since Inuyasha woke up in his cell before Inu piped up, 'Someone's coming.'
Sure enough a guard opened the door and said, "it's time for breakfast with the other prisoners, them after that you may have some free time in the prison courtyard."
Inuyasha nodded his understanding as he breath out in relief, at least he won't be tortured for a little while.
The guard soon lead Inuyasha through several halls before they came face to face with the cafeteria. Not wanting to be shoved again, Inuyasha, stepped into large room with people lining up for food. While he was waiting in line Inu piped up, 'I've got an idea.' Inuyasha replied, 'okay, what is it?'
'I might be able to break us out of here if we could get some information on the structure of the building, like a map or something.', Inu explained his idea.
'Like asking around? But how are you going to break us out?' Inuyasha asked inu before he bumped into something or rather someone.
"Where do you think your going, pipsqueak?", growled a very strong, tall, scary looking man.
'Your close, in order to get information around here you must earn it. Here I'll show you what I mean.', Inu said as the older man grabbed Inuyasha by his pale shoulders and squeeze tight.
Suddenly Inuyasha felt his heart increased as he seemed to lose conscious for a moment, when he woke up he was no longer the one in control of his body.
"Answer me when I'm talking to you!", the man yelled in the boy's face before trying to punch him.
The boy easily caught the fist before it hit his face with one hand before saying, "Picking a fight with someone younger and smaller than you, pathetic"
Inuyasha screamed in his head, 'What are you doing!? Are you crazy!?'
Inu choose to ignore Inuyasha as he continued to taunt the older man.
"Feel my fists pipsqueak!" The man yelled about to hit the boy.
However, in mid air Inu caught the first and used his other arm the grab the man's arm then without a second thought flipped the poor man in mid air. When the man landed, Inu, stomped his foot on the older man's abdomen without restraint. The heavy man screamed in pure pain as Inu smirked In inuyasha's body.
"Now, I want some information.", Inu asked threatenly as the man replied quickly, "Anything"
"What can you tell me about this prison we're in?", Inu asked with a dark tone as the man hurried to say, "I can't tell you anything about the prison besides it's called the rock."
Inu lifted his foot in a stomping motion before the older man added, "I almost forgot, I know this guy who can create a map out of his photographic memory for the prison. You can find him in the court yard after breakfast, his name is Dale."
"Thank you, you're good to go.", Inu said while smiling before the huge man bolted out of Inu's way.
Inu let go of the control of Inuyasha's body as Inuyasha screamed inside his head, 'I can't believe you, you assaulted a man!'
Soon Inuyasha was back in control of his body as inu answered, 'assaulted is a strong word, I just merely asked for information.'
Inuyasha growled angrily at himself before he stormed off into the breakfast line. Looking around it didn't seemed people even payed attention to him. Why is that?
'It's because you haven't earned their respect yet, in prison it's all about who is the strongest. There is no conduct code here, the guards even let people fight without restraint. If you want to get around without getting pummeled, you need to show them your stronger by fighting against the strongest foes.', Inu explained in a matter of fact tone.
Inuyasha counter, 'But we've never been in prison before!'
'Maybe not in this life', Inu added without thinking.
Inuyasha grabbed some cereal from the breakfast line while asking, 'This life? What do you mean?' He then walked over to a empty table and sat down. Inu replied, "Nothing, I'll tell you later." Inuyasha then sat down and started to eat.
The boy thought about the way Inu was able to handle his body, he never thought that he was that strong. Not only that but how did Inu know how to defend himself when he didn't know how to defend himself. Inuyasha isn't very experience in knowing about what Inu is, but they are the same person. So that didn't make any sense. Maybe Inu is like his inner self or something, but that still didn't make any sense.
'Inner self is a good word', Inu interrupted.
Inuyasha gasped, he completely forgot about Inu. Inuyasha was about to say something when Inu said, 'Don't worry about it, kid. You'll get to know me soon enough. Until then Inner self works okay as a description, because that's exactly who I am. A entity that shall lead you to your true self and guide you, once you don't need me I should disappear back into your into your thoughts where I'll rest until you need me again'
'Okay', Inuyasha thought sadly. He really was starting to get attached to Inu, he just wouldn't know what to do if he did disappear one day. He hopes that day doesn't come soon.
After Inuyasha ate his cereal he soon arrived at the prison courtyard he looked around as he thought, 'where is this dale guy, anyways?'
Suddenly Inu took over a split second and yelled, "Yo, where's dale at?"
Inuyasha blinked, he couldn't believe what he just shouted. Suddenly an even stronger and imitating man came up to Inuyasha and said, "Who's asking?"
'Welp, you're on your own. Remember show absolutely no fear or you'll get pummeled.', Inu retreated.
Inuyasha gulped before swallowing his fear, he has nothing else to lose, "Me."
The man looked the boy in the eyes as he watched Inuyasha sweat before smiling and asking, "I am dale, what do you need?"
This made Inuyasha shocked silent, guess you can't judge a book by a cover afterall. Inuyasha took a deep breath and politely asking, "Can you draw me up a map of this place?" as he looked at the man's puppy dog eyes.
"Sure, I like helping people! By the way, what's your name?" Dale asked Inuyasha in a friendly tone. "Inuyasha, nice to meet you.", the boy said in return.
Soon dale was drawing a very well done map just for his new found friend. Once he was finished dale told Inuyasha, "Did you know people are usually scared or imitated by my size so it's hard to make friends, I'm glad I met you. Maybe one day when you're old enough we can grab a couple of drinks together." Inuyasha couldn't help but start to cry at that, life can be so unfair. Dale asked concerned, "What's wrong, why are you crying?"
Inuyasha decided to take comfort from the big man and explained, "I've been accused of murder, I'm being put to death! Worst of all, my dad disowned me from the family!"
Then the man began to cry and hugged Inuyasha saying, "I'm so sorry." then he added,"Is there anyway I can help you?" Inuyasha stopped sobbing and thought a moment before whispering, "I'm going to try to escape and prove myself innocent somehow, that's why I needed the map."
The man stopped crying and whispered in a serious tone, "I can help with that, I've got some friends that are innocent as well."
Thanks to Dale, Inuyasha, has a good plan to escape. He is to get two blow darts from Rachel, one of Dales friends. Then once he is alone with his guards right before he is put back in his cell for the night, he is to use the blow darts to knock out the guards. Then using the map he had hid with the blow darts, goes to Rachel and the rest of his friends cell to free them without being caught. After that they are going to escape together. It's a good plan, except it is to be done tonight before the guards do a security sweep of the cells.
'Ok, so first up Rachel.' inuyasha thought to himself. Soon Inuyasha arrived at the arts and crafts room, Inuyasha walked up to a young woman with long red hair.
"What do you want?", she asked rudely. "I'm looking for Rachel", he stated calmly. The girl looked at him with suspicion before saying, "I am her, what do you want."
Inuyasha grabbed a note from the inside of his shirt, it was from Dale talking about the escape.
"'I see, come with me." She said motioning to Inuyasha. Soon they walked out of the cell and into the hallway, they were soon greeted by a guard. He ordered, "Where do you think you inmates are going?"
Rachel talked to the officer in a seductive manner, "Oh, I was just showing Inuyasha here around the prison. Since he's new and all." The officer sweated and said, "Very well, just make it on time for lunch" They both nodded as Rachel showed Inuyasha around.
They soon arrived at her opened cell with no guards around, Rachel walked quickly inside with Inuyasha. She grabbed a small makeshift bag and hanged it around Inuyasha's neck and explained in a serious tone, "There are at least ten blow darts in there, they look like small arts and crafts Items so you won't be caught. So be careful with the amount you use, I'll make more for the others. Be careful and don't blow this."
Soon she left the Prison as she got to work. Inuyasha walked back to the courtyard, this was sure to be interesting.
