Chapter Nine: On our way, Torture Day 2
Kagome was in the dark once again when she heard the door open,
"Hello Kagome," Naraku said smirking down at her.
"Go to hell," Kagome snapped glaring at him fiercely.
"Do you know what I love to do with a cigarette?"
Kagome merely glared at Naraku.
Naraku smirked and said simply, "Putting them out."
Kagome looked confused until Naraku took a step toward her and burned her with the cigarette on the side of her neck. Kagome let out a small cry. She tensed and jumped up to get away from the burning sensation. She couldn't get far however and Naraku pushed her back down onto the floor.
"I'm going to enjoy this, Kagome."
"Fuck you, you Bastard!"
"Words mean nothing Kagome. However, actions speak louder than words. And I'm the one taking action here."
Naraku walked behind her. He moved to the side of Kagome's face and looked down at the scar on her face. He smiled evilly. "So you still have that scar from years ago. When I'm done with you, you'll wish that you had died at the great fall of the Dark Inu Clan."
Kagome growled angrily until Naraku burned her right on the side of her face on the sensitive scar from her battle attempt to save Kai. Kagome tried not to scream out. She didn't want to give Naraku the satisfaction. However, the pain in that particular area was just too much. Naraku pushed the cigarette as hard as he could into Kagome's flesh. Kagome could smell her skin burning though she couldn't see anything Naraku was doing since he was behind her and it was on the side of her face.
Naraku knew that it would hurt if he rubbed something against the burn and make it more painful for her so he repeated the same torture on Kagome's other side of the face. He covered both sides of her face with several cigarette burns before moving his way down Kagome's collar bone. He noticed that Kagome wasn't screaming as loudly as she had when he'd burned her face. He realized the half-demon was trying to hold back her painful reaction.
"Stop it!" Kagome yelled.
Naraku just laughed and burned her again.
"You're a crazy bastard!" Kagome continued as she tensed and squirmed trying to get away from the burning contact.
When Naraku felt that he had had enough he threw the cigarette on the floor and walked over to the table. Kagome bowed her head gasping for breath. She was in great pain. The burns were small, but they were deep and severe. She looked up in time to see Naraku pull out a combat knife. Her eyes went wide.
"What are you going to do with that?" Kagome asked with fear tinting in her voice.
"You'll find out in a minute."
Naraku walked over and ripped her hiori (much to her embarrassment) open with the knife. He ran the blade along Kagome's exposed chest playfully. Kagome stared at the blade, eyes wide with horror. He watched as Naraku slowly sunk it into her flesh and dragged it downwards. He was going painfully slow. Kagome tensed and tried to get away, but couldn't.
"Don't worry, Kagome. These scars will heal," Naraku told her. He looked Kagome in the eye and asked, "Where's the fun if you don't scream? Maybe… I should do this…" He grabbed Kagome's left arm and stabbed her in the shoulder.
Kagome's eyes went wide as she felt the blade sink through her and out the back of her shoulder. Despite her best efforts she did let out a small cry of pain. It apparently wasn't enough for Naraku because he quickly twisted the blade painfully. Kagome thought that she was going to pass out. She finally did scream.
"That's better," Naraku said approvingly.
He continued to twist the knife. Finally Kagome screamed out desperately with tears in her eyes, "Please, stop! Please!"
"I think that I'm enjoying myself way too much."
"PLEASE STOP!"
"Well… Since you asked so nicely..."
Naraku took the knife out of Kagome's shoulder. Kagome started to sob from a combination of the hopelessness of her situation and the pain. Naraku smiled and continued to cut Kagome up for about ten minutes. When he was done Kagome had several slashes on her chest and stomach. She was gushing blood, but not enough for her life to be in peril.
"I have something else for you too," Naraku said.
Kagome shook her bowed head as if to say no more. Naraku didn't listen. He went back to the table and got something. Kagome looked up and saw that he was holding a container of salt.
"Salt?" Kagome questioned.
"Ever hear the phrase rubbing salt into a wound? I've never experienced it before but always wondered if it was really painful. You are going to let me know if it is."
Naraku poured some salt in his hands and immediately started to rub it into Kagome's wounds. Kagome screamed and jumped up. The chains pulled her back to the floor. Naraku lifted her up by her hair until they were at eye level.
"That bad huh?"
Kagome spitted in Naraku's face.
Naraku grabbed Kagome's injured shoulder and applied pressure to it. Kagome's legs gave out as pain wracked through her.
"I'm in control here, Kagome. It's time that you realize that you'll never see your kids again."
Kagome was starting to believe that. She continued to scream as Naraku pressed painfully on her shoulder. She prayed that she'd black out soon from the pain. However her prayers went unanswered as Naraku continued his torture.
*with Inuyasha *
Inuyasha opened the small mirror compact and saw the whole thing, Inuyasha choked down a sob of despair and hopelessness as he saw Kagome being tortured and her pain filled cries and screams.
"Inuyasha what is Naraku doing to Kagome now?" Sango choked out with tears in her eyes Rin and Ayame were behind her also with tears in their eyes.
Inuyasha merely shook his head with tears in his and closed the compact mirror, "we have to save her," Inuyasha choked out ", if we don't Naraku might break her." Inuyasha sobbed as the tears began leaking out of his eyes.
"We will, let's go we have everything ready to go." Sango said grimly with her eyes dull and lifeless.
Inuyasha nodded and grabbed his duffle bag that contained Kagome's sword, her armor, bandages.
He was wearing his robe of the fire rat and had his Tessaiga through his sash.
He nodded sadly "Yeah, the faster we get there the sooner we can save Kagome from Naraku," Inuyasha said staring at the ground.
Then Kamiko came running down the stairs with tears streaming down her cheeks "W…wh…where's…m…mommy?" Kamiko said with a sob.
"She's gone sweetheart," Inuyasha said softly looking her in the eye's not challenging her but so he could see her emotions and he saw five things he saw in Ichiro's eyes pain, sadness, despair, hurt, and betrayal.
"WHERE?!" Kamiko screeched causing her brother to run down stairs.
"Kamiko, Kamiko, Okaa-san was captured by Naraku! You know that crazy obsessed guy you kept pursuing Okaa-san!" Ichiro said hurriedly waving his hands with panic in his voice.
"That crazy man, I'll kill him I'll rip out his guts and hang them on the wall as my first trophy!" Kamiko screeched angrily.
"Yeah, I wanna kill him to and have his head as my first trophy, and make him pay for helping the enemies bring down our clan!" Ichiro hissed and bared his fangs angrily and extended his claws swiping them to make his point.
"They are defiantly from the Dark Inu Clan," Inu no Tashio whispered to his wife who nodded with agreement. (Does anybody know his nickname b/c I know it's not Inu so please tell me!)
"Ichiro, didn't Naraku have that tunnel system that starts from his house down and then it spreads?" Kamiko asked she faintly remembered venturing in those tunnels when she was about three with Ichiro going into their adventures while their Okaa-san.
"You mean there's a pathway under his house," Izayoi said with her eye's widening thinking about how many innocent people might be down there.
The twin's nodded their heads slowly then gasped "Okaa-san might be there!" They said together with a smile on their faces.
Inuyasha smirked then started for the door "good job, let's go we got a long way to go according to Sango, so we need to get a move on." Inuyasha said as he walked out of the door.
"Finally!, we got some helpful information, hold on Kagome we're coming to rescue you!" Inuyasha thought confidently as they all started their journey.
I hope you loved it! And please tell me Inuyasha's father's nickname!
