The room was dark with only a candle sitting in the middle of the dirt floor was the only light to chase away the shadows the crept up. The smell of blood, dirt, and excretions was heavy in the air. The small room had stone walls that were bumpy and uneven with chains attach to them in random spots.

A girl with long wavy raven hair was the only one in the room. Her tan wrists were chained to the collar around her neck. The collar was made of metal that had a chain that connected it to the wall. She laid on the floor in nothing but a torn brown sack. Her hair a tangle messed around her head as her chocolate eyes are shut tight trying to stop the endless tears from falling down her face.

A moan escapes her pale lips as she tries to see the damage that has been done to her. She knows that she has blood over her from the cuts and bites that covered her body along with bruises. But as she move to just an inch so much seemed to happen at once. In the one inch that she moved, she became light headed which caused her to get queasy also red hot pain shot through her tired limbs that felt like lead to her. With a small yip, she fell back to the ground. Lying on the dirt ground she felt dirty and unwanted.

She did not know how long she had been here. Nor did she know how long she had been lying in her own blood. She wasn't even sure how she gotten here. In her dreams, she seen a face but it is never clear and she long to be out in the sun instead of being in this darkness. Though she wasn't so sure if she had ever felt the rays of the sun on her before, if she ever known the tasted of freedom, it couldn't stop the ache in her heart. Oh how she longed to be free but she knew she that was impossible. She had just tried to escape, but she did not get far.

She snuck out of her room, she felt a chill go down her spine at the eerie silence that seemed to fill the hallway she enter. As a small smile form on her lips at her good lucky, for she was able to find out how to trick him in thinking that the door was shut and locked. Now taking careful stepped, she can hear her heart beat loudly and she prays that no one else can. She doesn't know if there is anyone else here with her beside him, but she doesn't want to take that chance.

She picked her way carefully through the maze, trying to remember the way that she came incase she ran into a dead end and needed to back trace. Luck seemed to be her friend as she didn't have to worry about back tracing because she didn't run into any dead ends. At the last turn, a sound startled her. The sound seemed to be a howl and she knew that if she could make it out the out, she would get to feel the outside world for the first time.

But just as she was about a foot from the door, a hand with an iron grip, grabbed her arm and turned her around. Shocked at having been stop without hearing any sounds of someone else in the hallway, she almost lost her balance, if it wasn't for his hand on her other shoulder to keep her steady. A sinister smile crawled across his face as panic started to fill her.

He got her before she could smell the fresh air or feel the warmth of the sun. He had gotten her and he was going to punish her for it. He took her back to his room and tied her up to his bed so that she was lying on her stomach. Then taking his whip, he began to hit her back, hard. Leaving blood trails where the leather had hit her countless times. He did not stop until she passed out from the pain and blood loss.

Knowing that she wouldn't fight back, he untied her and rough fully flipped her over so that she was lying on her back. A scream ripped from her throat as the pain shot throughout her body like white hot fire. But this just made her abuser smile widen as he climb on top of her. She tried to pushed him away but from blood loss, pain, and lack of food, her attempts were futile as he took her over and over and over again.

She passed out a little before he was done with her and when she awoke she was back in her room without him. But she worried when he would be back and what he would do when he did. She prayed in wasn't going to be any time soon as she let the darkness take over and numb her body, she didn't want to think about what he just had done to her.

Inuyasha woke with a start. He sat straight up on the branch that he was on. Cold sweat was running down him as he couldn't get the picture of his mate out of his head. He looked around the clearing to find that Sango was in the same state as he was while the rest of the group slept in peace. The moment he looked at Sango is the moment they made eye contact and they both nodded to each other in a silence promise to find their missing friend and to destroy the one that took her from them. And hopefully get her back before any more harm comes to her.


Disclaimer: Just like aways, I don't own Inuyasha and friends, but my wacky plot is my own. Unfortunary it took me a while to write this small chapter. But I think its a good chapter. Hopefully it won't take me long to update either this story or my other one Shadow but I am not making promises. So please don't get mad at me if I don't update right away. It might still take me a while to update but I will not leave the stories unfinish. Although review help. So please drop off a review.
