In the Arms of Demons
Amaya fought against her captor, his arms wrapped tight around her small body. She was terrified and she knew she had to escape. Amaya looked down at the ground, hundreds of miles below and gulped. She'd have to wait.
Though, even if she couldn't fully escape, she would do her best to give her demon kidnapper a hard time of transporting her.
"Stop it you little brat!" the demon growled as Amaya kicked and scratched at his arms.
"Where's Daddy! I want Daddy!"
"Your daddy can't save you, he's not strong enough!" the demon bullied.
Amaya's face grew red and flushed and she bit the demon's arm in anger, "My daddy can too save me! He's the strongest demon in the world! He'll kill you too!"
The demon yelped in pain and almost dropped Amaya.
"He'll kill me? I doubt that," he then called over his shoulder to a fellow demon, "You! Come here and help me with her!"
A big, brute of a demon flew over with the blue dragon demon that had taken Amaya. The dragon slithered up over the big demon's shoulder to talk to the head demon, Amaya's captor.
"You want me to poison her?" the dragon asked, her head tipped in suspicion.
The head demon nodded, "But don't kill her, just put her out for a few hours."
His words registered in Amaya's head. They were going to poison her! She struggled ever more.
"Seems she needs it. Feisty aren't you?" the dragon hissed to Amaya. The head demon handed Amaya to the dragon.
The dragon took a large breath in, its body swelling and blew out through its nostrils. Yellow mist clouded around Amaya, making her cough and choke. Her eyes felt heavy and she couldn't help but close them as she went limp in the dragon's claws.
Inuyasha didn't return for a while. Kagome tried looking for him, but she couldn't find him anywhere.
He finally showed up 3 hours later, moping and looking miserable. Kagome ran up to him.
"Inuyasha! Come on! We have to go!"
Inuyasha's tear stained face turned away from his wife and he said, "What's the use? I'll probably never get her back anyway."
Kagome was stunned, usually Inuyasha would have run off after Amaya with rash intentions. Why was he waiting?
"You will! I believe in you Inuyasha."
Inuyasha out his arms on Kagome's shoulders and he looked down at her. The rain had begun to fall, it was just like when Amaya was born.
"Kagome…am I, weak now? Is that why I couldn't save our daughter?"
Kagome's voice caught in her throat, she knew the answer.
"You-you're the strongest hanyou I know Inuyasha and I love you. You're not weak, not in the least."
Now Inuyasha hugged Kagome tight, the rain bouncing off his back, "I might not be able to protect you Kagome. I don't want you or Amaya to die because of me!"
Kagome openly sobbed, leaning into Inuyasha. She couldn't imagine a time where Inuyasha couldn't protect her.
"We've got to hurry Inuyasha, they'll be far of head of us now. I'm not going to sit here and wait until that time."
Kagome stepped back from Inuyasha and looked at him, fire in her eyes.
Inuyasha wiped the tears from his eyes and whispered, "Thank you Kagome."
Amaya opened her eyes slowly. Everything around her was unclear. She felt solid ground and a soft pad underneath her, a bed.
When her surroundings finally came into focus Amaya saw she was in a dug out cave, small, but brightly lit with a fire. She lay on a bed of grasses. There seemed to be a opening for a door at the far end, but rocks had been piled in front of it, making it impossible for Amaya to escape.
Tears ran down Amaya's face as she sat up on the crude bed. She lay on the bed for a good long while.
When the boulders were finally removed from the entranceway, Amaya sat up in shock, her body tense. She could feel her demon senses kicking in.
As the last boulder shifted to the side, a tentacle covered demon entered and signaled for her to come.
"No!" Amaya shrieked and ran at the demon, trying to get past and through the doorway.
Unfortunately, the demon shot out a tentacle and wrapped it around Amaya's little waist,
"You will come. The Great Oracle wants to see you, even if you are a brat. You should feel honoured to be in his presence."
Amaya cringed, the tentacle was slimy.
The creature brought Amaya into the largest cave she's ever seen. Demons lined the sides, their heads bowed…in respect?
He stopped in front of a giant alter and dropped Amaya on the floor in front of it. Amaya fell onto her knees and her palms scraped against the hard ground.
Chatter filled the room, though it was hardly quiet. Amaya looked around, nervous and terrified and the tentacle demon had retreated to his guard post.
Just then, the demons fell silent as a great being walking into the room. Flanked by many guards and servants, the Great Oracle was led to the alter and to the largest futon Amaya had ever seen.
When the servants backed away from their master, the Great Oracle was revealed as an old, large eared demon. He had gray, sagging skin and bloodshot eyes. He held a rotted wooden staff with the carving of an eye at the top. He leaned forward and looked down at Amaya.
"Greetings child, I am the Great Oracle of demons!" he said in a wheezy voice.
Amaya refused to look at the Oracle and turned her head away, instead sending venomous looks to the guards.
"Child of the hanyou Inuyasha and miko Kagome! Do you wish to know your purpose in life? The gods have told me and it is quite interesting."
