Chapter 11
Disclaimer: Inuyasha and its characters are created by Rumiko Takahashi, not me. I do not receive money of any type for my writing.
In another part of the facility; far from the screams of terror a very confused Kagura was just waking. Her head was heavy and the sounds of chimes rang through her ears. She reached atop her head and pulled a golden chimed comb from her hair. A sleeve of black and red silk shifted on her arm. She glanced down her body and took in the sight of a beautiful, but restricting kimono. Kagura flopped her head back onto a very soft quilt or perhaps a giant pillow of some kind. She could feel a layer of face paint shift as she frowned trying to recall all or anything that had happened after she was knocked out.
A face appeared above her. One she was sure that she would never see again.
"Kanna?" She asked a little more bewildered than she would like to admit.
A smile appeared on Kanna's normally deadpan face. Kagura cringed a little in fear not knowing if this was a good or bad smile. Images of Naraku smiling floated through her mind; along with all the despicable things he did to her. Kanna noticed the fear on her sister's face and quickly pulled her into a sitting position. Kanna felt Kagura stiffen when she wrapped her arms around her.
"Don't worry Kagura. It is nice here and the collector takes really good care of us."
Kanna cooed helping her sister to her feet. Kagura froze when she noticed that the room was not a room at all. It was in fact a huge glass display case depicting life in a castle during the feudal era. She sucked in a breath when she saw many other glass rooms containing all types of historical periods. Each housed a woman and a child dressed to fit in with that time. "They all look broken." Kagura whispered aloud.
"Oh no, the broken ones are dismantled and burned…"Kanna said looking down at her feet. "He only does that to the ones that start to show flaws."
Kagura tilted her head. "Flaws? What kind of flaws?
"Oh, you know. Wrinkles, weight gain, dark circles and scars." Kanna mumbled.
Kagura lost it and looked to the ceiling and started screaming.
"Are you kidding me? Is this some sick twisted joke? How about some help from up there? How about throwing me a damn bone for once?" Kagura screamed and Kanna looked to the ceiling to see if someone was there.
Kagura had just finished her rant to the gods when a small, balding, portly man walked in wheeling a glass coffin. He headed straight for the glass room that held Kanna and Kagura. Kagura shuttered when he gave her a greasy smile and scratched his crotch.
"You are so lovely…So perfect." He murmured licking while eye raping Kagura.
"I brought you something, I do believe he perfect for this scene. I couldn't just leave such a lovely in that dark storage room. Too bad he is male and in some type of coma, but beggars can't be choosers."
The grotesque man moved from the front of the coffin and Kagura nearly fell to her knees. Inside the glass was Inuyasha sleeping ever so peacefully. Kagura smiled in relief and whispered thanks to the gods that seemed to be listening. The man on the other side of the glass blushed thinking that she was talking to him.
"It was nothing my pretty geisha." He said opening the case and pulling the coffin in.
Kagura made no move to over power him at this time. She needed Inuyasha awake and ready to fight. She flipped a fan in front of her mouth deciding to play her part perfectly. She almost broke character when the feel of his pudgy hands moved over the silk on her breast and he pinched her nipple. The sound of his phone ringing broke his trance. He gave Kagura a wink before walking out, locking the case and answering his phone. It must have been important since the man dashed away without another word.
Kagura looked down at Kanna and sighed "Kanna, when we get out of this you are going to learn the difference between a good guy and a complete fucking psycho."
Kanna looked up at her sister. "I don't understand."
"I know, but like I said I will teach you. You have to trust me. You have to do exactly like I say. There are a bunch of people that need our help and for once we are going to be the good guys." Kagura stated.
Kanna furrowed her. "We are females. How can we be good guys?"
Kagura took a deep breath and decided to just let it go for now.
"Just help me with Inuyasha."
Inuyasha smiled as his boys played in a field of wild flowers. Kikyo was sleeping in his arms. This was the life he had wanted and dreamed of for so long. A content sight left his lips as peace flowed through his body. Not once had he thought of fighting or revenge. Then again; he had not once thought of food or drink either. He could not even remember the last time he used the bathroom. He glanced around the field and could not recall how he had come to be there.
"Inuyasha, what is wrong?" Kikyo asked suddenly on his left side instead of in his arms.
Inuyasha stood and looked around for his boys. "Kikyo, where did the kids go?"
Kikyo laughed as the skies started to darken and the wind whipped around him.
Inuyasha looked at Kikyo for an explanation, but she was no longer the young, warm beauty he loved. In her place was a blackened and charred corpse that reached for him.
"Come with me to hell." She rasped pulling him in for a bloody and flesh melting kiss.
He screamed and leapt to his feet gasping for air.
"That was a little over the top even for you. It was just a freaking kiss" Kagura huffed.
Inuyasha's eyes darted about the strange foreign room and then back to Kagura and Kanna. His breathing was erratic as he tried to figure out what was a dream and what was real. A pinch to his arm from Kagura cleared that question up rather quickly.
He shook his head to try and clear it, but nothing seemed to work.
"What happened? Where are we? How the hell are you even alive?"
Kagura looked at her blood red nails. "This is the short version for now since we do not have a bunch of time. Kagome and Shippo along with some others came here to rescue you, but we were captured. The people in this place do terrible things and if we do not hurry to save them…Well" Kagura sighed drifting off to let him imagine whatever nightmare his friends may be going through.
Inuyasha rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and yawned in disregard to the dangers.
"Well, I guess we better get to it then."
A/N: Well here is another chapter. Will the trio make it in time to save their friends or will they fail and only find mangled messes begging for death? Oh and I always thought Kanna and Kagura were like sisters from a dysfunctional family.
