Chapter 21: Decisions

Almost Perfect

A/N: Hey guys! I'm kinda dissapointed, cause I had about 40 hits, which was dissapointing in the first place, but I only got 1 review! So now I'm going to set up a goal. I would like a total of at least 5 reviews before I update again. Sorry guys, but I really feel as if no one is reviewing. Anways to the story!

Soledad's POV

January 17th.

It's been three days since I found out about the 'wonderful wedding' as Kagura called it.

Some great news.

Well, since I pushed Naraku off of me when he kissed me he was pissed already. But then he tried doing it AGAIN by threatening me again. so of course, I was going to push him off if I thought enough was enough. and the last straw was when he was rubbing up my leg. I pushed him off. And he grabbed me by my arm, his eyes flaring. So I did what came to me.

I kicked him in the crotch.

BAD IDEA. And because of that, I'm now in the dungeon. I look around, trying to see anything or anyone I can find to help me. I remember the figure sprawled on the floor I had seen a few weeks ago and look over to my right. I see the figure moving, chocolate brown eyes staring at me void of life whatsoever. I stare at him for a few seconds.

''Hello, are you okay?'' I whisper. I want to make sure. Maybe they could help me.

''Yeah, I guess I am...who are you?'' I figure it's a boy, and I see his eyes elevate in the darkness, chains rattling.

''Soledad.''

''Kohaku.''

---000---000---

''So you say you can't remember things?'' Soledad asked him.It had been about an hour or two of them talking to eachother. He asked where she was from, she asked how come he was here. But the thing was, he couldn't remember.

''I know I had a life before, but everytime I forget, the last thing I see is that man, Naraku.'' Kohaku said.

''You don't have any family?''

''No, not that I can remember. Do you have any family?'' he asked.

''No, actually they all died...'' Soledad said.

''I'm sor--''

''Don't be. You didn't mean to.'' Soledad saw him smile when the door opened and footsteps were coming down the stairs.

''Get up, Kohaku. Naraku wants you out of the dungeon.'' Kagura hissed. She forcefully got him up.

''Don't do that to him. He's just a boy!'' Soledad told her. Kagura looked at her.

''Don't tell me what to do when you're the one down here.''

''You shouldn't be telling me things if you've proabably been down here multiple times!''

''You--''

''Kagura, shut up.'' Someone hissed. Soledad instantly knew who it was. Naraku came down the steps, glaring at Kagura. ''I tell you to do one thing and you're here arguing!''

''I di--''

''What did I just tell you?'' he came over and slapped Kagura. Her face was in awe for a second. ''If you can't not do simple tasks, then you will be in the place Soledad is in right now for two times as long. Now, get Kohaku out of the castle and Soledad out of those chains. Do I make myself clear?'' The only response from Kagura was a glare as he walked out of the dungeon. Kagura mumbled curses while getting Soledad out and once she finished left Soledad there.

''Thank god I know where the exit is.'' Soledad said as she got up and left the dungeon.

'A few other have tried to escape, but they have all been caught and have faced slow and painful deaths, human or demon.' she rememebered what Kanna had said. But there was no way that she was going to stay here forever.

---000---000---

''Find another one.''

''But Lord Sesshomaru! We can not find anyone else. We have traveled desperately for three days and we have only found these three!''

''I don't care if you risked your life to find one. I want you to find another.'' Sesshomaru looked at the three girls. One was already rejected because she was human, and she was just plain. Another was a wolf demon, with raven hair down to her waist and sky blue eyes, high cheekbones and about six feet tall. But the thing was she wouldn't stop following him for the past hour. She was more like a little puppy than a woman. The last one had pale skin, light brown hair up to her shoulders and green eyes. She looked sick, as if she was starving herself, and Sesshomaru was convinced she was because she didn't eat anything since she came here. He was just about through with this. He needed to fins someone before one moon cycle or his lands would be taken away from him and given to Inuyasha, proabably. And there was NO way he was going to give the lands to that halfbreed.

I wonder what she's thinking about now? Sesshoamru thought. The wolf demon came into the room.

''I thank you Sesshomaru-sama for even thinking about me as a choice as Lady of the Western Lands.'' she went down on her knees. ''I will do anything for you.'' she told him, kneeling down.

This is getting ridiculous.

''You don't need to do this.''

''I believe I should. Not many are able to be in your presence.''

She's kissing up to me. Pathetic. She might as well be a human the way she acts.

''Expect my presence there at dinner in an hour.''

''Oh, thank you, Sesshomaru-sama!'' she said as she walked out the room.

Well I'm not going to be there at dinner today. I don't even know her name and she's kneeling on the floor for me. She's proabably kill herself for me...actually, that isn't a very bad idea...

---000---000---

Wonder what he's doing now? Soledad thought as she watched the sun fall under the horizon. Thankfully she had not seen Naraku or Kagura after getting out of the dungeon. She had seen Kanna drifting in and out of the hallway like she always does. But she did see a large arrangement of flowers in one of the largest rooms of the castle. Probably for the wedding. She used to like weddings and preparing for them, but this was one she wanted to stay away from her as long as possible. she thought about how Kanna drifted around all day.

It's like she looking for something that she knows she cannot reach. It cannot be freedom, because she is not like Kagura who depsises Naraku. She is his own obedient servant. Something I hope I will never become to him. she stared out at the orange sphere drifting away

Sometimes I wish I did know what it is like to be free every day. I didn't pay attention to how fortunate I was . But I have to get out and see Sesshomaru one nmore time, even if he hates my guts now. I just have to...

Hey guys! that's Chapter 21! I know, it's short, but I won't update again until I have at least 5 reviews, unless you don't want to find out what hapens next, because I have some ideas...

Alright I'll see you later and review!
