By the way, I want to thank everyone who's been reviewing my chapters. Your comments really mean a lot to me!


Chapter 9

"Datenshi? Datenshi!" Kagome yelled as they both kneeled beside her. Inuyasha gently touched her cheek, but she cried out.

"No! Don't touch me!" She screamed suddenly.

"Datenshi—"

"Please…don't." Datenshi whimpered as tears ran down her cheeks. This was the first time they had ever seen her cry.

'What the hell did Naraku do?' Inuyasha thought with worry.

Once Datenshi had calmed down, Kagome went back to camp to get more supplies since Naraku had cut Datenshi in her side. Which left Inuyasha alone with Datenshi.

"I'll be back." He mumbled before getting up.

Datenshi held his arm.

"No, please. Don't leave me." She whispered.

Inuyasha complied and sat down beside her.

"Datenshi, what happened between you and Naraku?"

Datenshi sighed.

"I was working for Naraku ever since I was 16. He would teach me martial arts while I worked as a servant. I would admire him so much, he seemed so powerful to me. But the women of the castle warned me not to get attached to him. They told me about they way he treated his wenches, but I just knew that I would be different." She explained.

"So you basically had a crush on him?" Inuyasha asked.

Datenshi nodded.

"And he knew you did, didn't he?" Inuyasha asked again.

Datenshi smiled, almost painfully.

"The sly bastard planned the whole thing. He began to give me private lessons, and every day he would tease and arouse me. It was only small things of course. But then he offered to take things up a notch…I thought I was ready…" Datenshi paused as her eyes began to water.

"As soon as he started kissing me, I just knew it was wrong. It felt wrong. But I kept going…that is until he wanted to remove my pants. That's where I stopped him. I hadn't planed on him going against my wishes though. When he pinned me to the floor, I…I lost all hope." Datenshi stopped, her voice cracking as she let out a sob. It was then that Kagome returned, but she chose to hide behind a tree.

"He took away my innocence…it was so painful!" Datenshi sobbed. Inuyasha hugged her close as she cried into his chest.

"Ever since that day, I swore to myself that I would show what a true man was supposed to be like. He changed me Inuyasha…he made me what I am now." Datenshi finished, angry tears flowing down her face.

"When I saw him today, and he got on top of me…I relived that day. I want him to burn in hell Inuyasha." Datenshi hissed as she rested her head against his chest.

"Don't worry, he will." Inuyasha whispered back as he stroked her hair.

"Kagome, come." Datenshi called softly.

"Huh? How did you—Kagome!" Inuyasha said as he saw Kagome with tears down her face as well. He discreetly pulled away from Datenshi slightly so not to alarm Kagome.

"Datenshi…I'm so sorry he did that to you!" Kagome whispered as she hugged Datenshi tight.

"Don't weep for me, Kagome. What's done is done." Datenshi whispered.

That night, Datenshi was meditating when Kagome walked past.

"Where are you off to?" Datenshi asked.

"To the springs. All that fighting made me need a good bath." Kagome answered, scratching her head sheepishly.

"Mind if I join you?" Datenshi asked with a smirk.

"Sure!"

Datenshi smiled and walked up to her.

"Let's go then." She said as they both walked to the hot springs.

Once there, Datenshi stripped and quickly got in the water. Kagome however was slowly taking off her shirt, and trying to cover-up herself.

Datenshi laughed at her shyness.

"Kagome don't hide. You're forgetting I've seen your angelic body before."

Kagome blushed at the compliment as she removed the rest of her clothes and joined Datenshi. It was silent for a while; an awkward silence.

'Poor Datenshi. If Naraku hadn't raped her when she was younger, I wonder would she still be gay?' Kagome thought.

"I've asked myself the same question time, and time again, Kagome." Datenshi replied, hearing her thoughts.

"I figure that if I had let him have his way with me, I'd probably be just another tramp wench working in his castle as a prostitute. On the other hand, if Naraku had stopped (which wouldn't have happened anyway), I'd probably be too shy and afraid to try anything with anyone ever again. So basically it's a lose-lose situation." Datenshi explained, her gaze on the sky."

"Oh." Kagome replied.

"To me, becoming gay is probably the best thing. I'm a stronger person, and I've never been a better lover." Datenshi added with a smirk.

Kagome giggled.

"What? You don't think I'm a good lover?"

"Well…"

"Ok Kagome, perhaps I should remind you why I'm the better lover."


Inuyasha: Aw man, another cliffy??

Broken: What's wrong with them? It adds suspence!

Inuyasha: Suspence my ass! I wana know what happens next!

Kagome: Oh, but there was so much drama in this chapter. I think a cliffy is a great idea.

Datenshi: I agree. Although, I wanted to see a little more action between me and Kag here.

Kagome: -blush- Datenshi!

Broken: Inuyasha, its your turn to end it!

Inuyasha: Alright, alright. Review please. -.-
