So here is chapter 10. Again I plead with you that if you have any info on attacks to let me know.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FlowerGirl for a couple of Kyo's moves. That has helped me a ton! A thank you to Kaeru-sama also. You have been a help also. I also give a thanks to HotIceRed, ellipsis, and Remember The Dead for your support and reviews.
You know the drill...I own nothing...blah blah blah...
Chapter 10
The large hand collided with her face once more. She closed her eyes and prayed that this was just a nightmare, but then she felt the ice-cold water poured on her.
"Why are you doing this?" She screamed as her attackers came at her again.
"Why, Miss Yuya? Do you not like our accommodations?" She heard an eerie female's voice said from somewhere in the shadows. It sounded so familiar to Yuya, yet she couldn't put the voice with the face or name.
"Please, what do you want with me?" Yuya cried as she was slapped once more.
"That child needs to die. We have been beating her for six hours straight. Why hasn't it died?" The voice that spoke earlier hissed at the man who was continuously hitting her.
"What do you want with this child?" Yuya cried. "Kyo! Help Me!" She screamed on top of her lungs.
Meanwhile…
Kyo sat straight up from his deep sleep. He was breathing hard and was covered in sweat. He looked over and saw that Aya was still asleep. Good. Kyo slowly raised a shaky hand to heart and grasped the cloth that was there.
Why had he woken up in a cold swat, so shaken he could hardly keep his hand steady? Why did his heart ache with sadness like he had already failed Yuya?
Kyo stood up and walked to the balcony. It was still dark outside. Surely sunrise wasn't going to come for many more hours.
He thought back to earlier that night when the three returned.
FLASHBACK"Kyo, my love!" Okuni charged forward, but as usual, Kyo sidestepped and watched her collide with the wall. A small smirk threatening to appear on his emotionless face. Sasuke and Saizo both just walked into the room and took their spots on either side of Yukimura as the door opened once more.
"I am NOT going through this AGAIN!" It was Aya, and she was pissed. "Stop making so much NOISE!" With that she turned and slammed the door closed behind her. Now this made Kyo smirk, nearly smiling.
"What do you have to report?" Yukimura asked Sasuke and Saizo as he took a sip from his sake cup.
"Lady Sakuya has been informed that Yuya was taken. She is trying her best to find her before its to late." Sasuke said first.
"And what of Kyoshiro?" Yukimura went on.
"He sends his regrets, but says that he can not help us. He will be with Lady Sakuya and if anything should be found out or happens he will be the first to come and find us." Saizo had spoken this time.
"Alright. Saizo go back to Lady Sakuya and see if she knows where the Mibu have taken Miss Yuya. Sasuke I want you to stay here with us." Yukimura commanded.
"Hai." The two ninjas replied and then Saizo disappeared.
END FLACHBACK'Just like that damned Kyoshiro to be to big of a chicken to help.' Kyo thought as a smirk crept onto his face.
Kyo turned around and went back into the room. He sat in a corner and watched as Aya slept peacefully. Soon, he felt his own eyelids fall as he drifted off to sleep once more.
Meanwhile…
Yukimura was wide-awake. He had heard Kyo gasp and then move around. He knew that there was something bothering Kyo, but he would have to wait until morning to find out what it was.
Yukimura slowly stood up and walked to the table at the other end of the room. He sat down by it and grabbed a bottle of sake. He began to drink slowly, watching the figures in the room sleep soundlessly, except Benitora and his continuous snoring. Yukimura let out a small giggle as the pink haired man tossed and turned in his sleep, every now and then letting "I'll save you Miss Yuya" slip from his lips in a near whisper.
"Some things never change." Yukimura chuckled as he continued to drink.
Morning (Dawn) …
Kyo woke once again from a deep sleep covered in sweat and his heart racing. He needed to get to Yuya. He just knew it. She wouldn't survive what ever they were doing to her for much longer.
Kyo stood up and attached Tenro to his hip. He then walked out of the room, leaving Aya to continue to sleep.
Yukimura had also stirred. As he stood up he realized he had fallen asleep next to the table. His eyes went to the door as Kyo walked in and looked around annoyed at the men laying all over the floor of the room.
"It looks like you all had a slumber party." Kyo smirked as he walked to the table and began drinking some of the sake that was left over.
"Yes. It was a festive night." Yukimura smiled as he joined the Thousand-man Slayer.
"Dad?" Yukimura and Kyo's eyes both went to the door where Aya stood, full clothed.
"What is it, Aya?" Kyo asked a little annoyed.
"I'm going outside to practice." She said and then left the room.
"Non stop practice. Its final. She must be your child!" Yukimura said with a light chuckle.
"Hn." Kyo replied as he took a large gulp of sake.
"Sir." This time their eyes went to the window where Saizo kneeled on the floor in front it.
"Saizo? What did you find out?" Yukimura asked very seriously.
"She is in a fort just outside the town. It will take a full days walk to get there." Saizo replied. "There is more. Lady Sakuya said that their power has grown more then anyone realized. Miss Yuya is near full term. They will try to kill the baby very soon."
"Thank you Saizo." Yukimura said with a frown.
"We should leave as soon as possible." Migeira said as he walked over to the two samurai as he kept his eyes on Kyo's hard face. He could see a glint of pain in his eyes, but the rest was like a rock.
"Yes." Yukimura replied as he walked over to Sasuke and shook his shoulder lightly. "Come Sasuke. We are leaving."
"Aright." The silver haired ninja sat straight up and began to gather his few items he had with him.
Kyo walked up to Benitora, kicked him as hard as possible, and then left the room to go find Aya.
"What the-" Benitora cried out as he sat up and rubbed his head.
"Get your things together. We are leaving." Sasuke commanded.
"Alright." Benitora whined as he stood up and got his things together.
Kyo had gone into his and Aya's room and gotten their things together before going outside to retrieve his daughter. As he walked outside, he saw her doing simple vertical strikes. He had to hand it to Aya; she was non-stop with her training.
"We're leaving." He finally said once Aya realized she was being watched.
"I need to grab my thin-" She began but Kyo held up her bag.
"Done." He said simply.
"Thank you." Aya replied as she sheathed her sword and then took the bag from him. "Where are we going?"
"We are headed to a fort that is about a days walk from here. Yukimura's puppet said that, that was where Yuya was being held."
"I see."
"Aya, when we get there, you have to swear to me that you will stay with either I or Yukimura."
"I swear to it."
"Good."
Kyo and Aya looked over to the inn entrance to see the group heading out. Yukimura waved them over and so Kyo and Aya followed.
So end of chapter 10. I am sorry to say this, but, I start school again tomorrow and my work load is steadily growing. So because of that, chapter 11 will delayed. I also still need help in attacks. Thanks again to FlowerGirl for your help.
I just have to say though, it surprises me that no one has said anything about having Yuya appear in the story until now or that Kyo has trusted Yukimura on more then one occasion with Aya. Huh, well what ever. Till next time!
iMiSsY!
