Chapter 25
Trouble
Kagura flew within a barrier deep in the middle of the woods and far away from the city with an unconscious Rin in tow. A few times Rin rolled over and almost fell off the feather. Each time Kagura wondered if she should just let her fall to her death and ditch bringing her to Naraku. She didn't need Naraku to murder Rin but the torture he promised to put the little girl through would be satisfying, then she could kill her.
They landed in a grassy area next to a large dark cabin. There were no lights on in the cabin, it looked abandoned. Kagura felt a chill go down her spine. It was strangely cool and foggy in this area. She once again questioned if she should have worked with Naraku. However, she didn't have time to question her decision any further.
"Kagura, you have returned with the girl." Naraku said appearing behind her.
"Whatever that purple stuff was worked, knocked her out cold." Kagura said uncaring of Rin's wellbeing.
Naraku looked towards where Rin lay unconscious. His eyes roamed her petite figure and he smirked thinking of all the things he planned to do to her. His camera girl was missing though.
"Where's Tsubaki?" Naraku asked Kagura.
"Your niece tried to protect the girl so I had to knock her away to take your precious cargo." Kagura replied carefully. Kagura didn't know if Tsubaki was even alive or not. She didn't care either way but she didn't want to tell Naraku that. Even if he treated the girl poorly, she was still his niece.
"Oh really." Naraku smirked. He knew exactly what happened. He watched the entire kidnapping through the eyes of a tiny bee demon spy he sent to watch Kagura. He didn't trust the red eyed woman. He actually expected Tsubaki to rebel, she got what she deserved. The spy stayed close to Kagura and watched her every move all the way to the cabin. He figured since the little toad was there, no doubt the dog must be aware that Rin has been kidnapped by Kagura. He wasn't worried, Sesshomaru wouldn't be able to break his barrier.
He strode over to the still unconscious Rin and lifted her bridal style. He stiffed her neck and made a face of disgust at Sesshomaru's mark. Showing ultimate disrespect, he licked the mark trying to cover his scent with it. Rin shivered but otherwise remained unconscious.
Kagura watched in disdain. What is it about this human bitch that has these demons so crazy about her? She followed Naraku as he made his way towards the cabin and inside. The cabin was dimly lit, just a few candles to light the way. The dark lighting was no problem for her though. There was barely any furniture in the place but she could make out a mattress on the floor in the living room. The place reeked of blood and death. It was repulsive. The smell became worse the deeper they went into the cabin.
"It stinks in here." Kagura remarked angrily.
Naraku didn't reply. He kept walking until he reached a door. He balanced Rin in one arm and opened it. The room was dark just like everywhere else in the place. He flipped on a lamp revealing another mattress on the floor with what seemed to be old blood stains on it. It was close to the wall where chains were bolted in. Naraku stooped down and placed Rin on the mattress; he locked one of her hands in one of the chains. Rin still did not wake.
"How long did you keep the towel over her nose?" Naraku asked watching at Rin.
"I don't know, 30 seconds?" Kagura replied carelessly.
Naraku turned his head around to regard her. That's why the girl hadn't woken up yet, 30 seconds is too long for a human. "You could have killed her, I like my toys alive while I play with them." He said evilly.
Kagura shrugged. "Whatever, when will you be done with her?"
Naraku stood to his full height and approached Kagura. She wanted to step back but didn't want to show fear. She held her breath and waited. "The party is just getting started. Would you like a drink?" Naraku asked too close for comfort.
"No." All of Kagura's instincts screamed at her to get out of there.
"I think you should have one. Loosen up a little." Naraku said in a low, dark voice. He was directly in front of her now. He leaned in and grabbed her breast squeezing it. Kagura slapped his hand.
"Save that for the human bitch." Kagura said red eyes blazing.
"She's no fun asleep." He said quickly reaching out and grabbing Kagura's wind fan. Her eyes went wide with terror as he ripped it apart and threw the remnants to the side. "What's wrong? I thought you said I couldn't handle you, seem pretty tame to me." Naraku said approaching her.
Kagura realized quickly what was happening and ran. If she could get outside, she could use her feather to escape. She darted through the cabin looking for the front door. But the more she ran the further the door seemed to get. She could hear Naraku's evil laughing all around her and feel his breath on her neck as if he was right behind her. She dared to turn around as she was running but no one was there. As she turned back around she ran right into a hard chest. She was knocked back by the force, feeling like she ran into a brick wall.
"Going somewhere?" Naraku asked looking down at her.
"Why are you doing this? We had a deal!" Kagura begged eyes wide with fear.
Naraku simply laughed. He snatched her up by her hair lifting her from the ground. Kagura screamed in pain. "I don't make deals. What's wrong? You fucked the dog, you think you're too good to fuck me?"
Kagura continued screaming and kicking at him to let her go. He slapped her in the face hard sure to leave a bruise. She continued to scream even more.
"I haven't even put it in you yet and you're making so much noise." He said smirking. He dragged her into the living room and punched her hard in the face effectively shutting her up for a few minutes. Her lip bust and blood dripped down her mouth. He handcuffed her to two wooden posts in living room. He ripped her clothing from her body until she was completely naked on the living room floor.
"Please stop this!" She yelled.
Naraku unbuckled his pants and allowed them to drop to the floor. He then dropped his boxers allowing his hardened member to spring free.
"Open your mouth." He said lowering himself.
Kagura did not. He gripped her hair making her scream again opening her mouth. He shoved himself into her into it making her gag. He held her head in place as he thrust himself in and out of her mouth until she bit him.
"You bitch!" He punched her hard in the eye. Then he jerked back feeling pain on his member. Kagura had bit down hard.
Naraku inspected his member then started to laugh. "I like it rough." He loomed over her getting ready to force his way between her legs.
In the back bed room of the cabin, Rin began to stir. She felt groggy and heavy headed. She opened her eyes to take in her surroundings. Where am I? The room was lit by a lamp in the corner. There were odd tools strewn about on the floor. She found herself on a mattress, is that blood? Rin wondered. Panic slowly began to seep into her mind. She tried to move but found that one of her arms was chained to the wall.
How did I get here? The last thing Rin remembered she was snatched up into the air by that red eyed woman. Rin couldn't remember her name. Oh no, she was the woman obsessed with Sesshomaru. She must have brought me here. Rin thought. Rin pulled on the chain that bound her arm; she pulled as hard as she could ignoring the metal biting into her skin but to no avail.
Rin jumped hearing a scream echo throughout the cabin. What was that? She could hear noises that sounded like constant slapping coming from outside of the room she was in. Rin became terrified. She took deep breaths trying to calm herself. Having a panic attack now would not help the situation she was in. She wished she could contact Sesshomaru. Wait, where's my cell phone? Rin reached into her pocket with her free hand and found her phone. Joy filled her heart as she dialed Sesshomaru's number but it quickly faded when his phone just went to voicemail. She pressed the call button over and over but it kept going to voicemail. Rin wanted to cry, is his phone dead?
She took deep breaths in an attempt to calm herself again. She had to get out of this place. She looked over at the random tools on the floor again. Upon closer inspection some of the tools seemed to have dried up blood on them. Rin felt sick. Please don't throw up, she kept telling herself. Maybe I can break free with something in here. One of the tools appeared to be a screw driver. Rin reached for it with her free hand but it was just out of her reach. She then took off her shoe and stretched her leg out trying to reach the tool with her toe. She was able to roll the tool closer to her and grab it.
Rin wasn't sure how she was going to unlock the cuff but she tried as hard as she could. She jammed the screwdriver into the lock of the cuff over and over. She wanted to yell out in pain as she accidentally cut herself with it but she kept it in afraid whoever was out there would hear her. She jammed the screwdriver into the lock once more until she finally heard a clicking noise. The cuff loosened and she was able to free her hand. "Yes!" Rin whispered.
She stood up slowly still feeling a little groggy but better than before. She slipped off her other shoe and decided to walk barefooted so she wouldn't be heard. Rin decided she was going to get out of there. She looked for a window in the room but it was barred from the inside. Dammit! Rin thought. She had no choice but to exit the room. She slowly made her way to the door and peaked her head out, all she saw was darkness. She could hear the slapping sounds still and someone crying. What is going on out there? Rin gulped. She was afraid to venture into the darkness but it was her only way to escape. She prayed Sesshomaru would be out looking for her after he discovers she's not home. I should have never went anywhere without telling him, Rin thought. She took another deep breath and made her way down the dark hallway slowly. The further she went she noticed dim light and the noises getting louder.
She decided she should turn around and find another way out but then the voice she heard chilled her to the bone. She froze.
"Don't cry, I'm pretty sure the dog fucked you rough too." A male voice said.
"Fuck you!" A female voice yelled.
Rin felt pure panic course through her body. Those sounded like Naraku and Kagura's voices. Was he having sex with her? Rin sank to her knees. She needed to get out of there! She felt like she was starting to hyperventilate and her heart was racing. No Rin! She told herself. She started to take deep breaths to calm herself again. She balled up her fist and decided she was not going to let that happen to her. She stood back up and crept towards the noises. She was able to spot the front door but it seemed to be in view of where they were. She could make a mad dash for the door or crawl to it and hope not to be seen. If she ran they would see her; Rin decided crawling would be best.
(Meanwhile)
Sesshomaru flew over the city looking for any sign of Rin or Jaken. In his anger, he destroyed his cell phone so he could not call Jaken back to get his location. The panic that coursed through his body was an unfamiliar feeling, it disturbed him. Sesshomaru never had a reason to feel this way before but Rin came into his life and evoked many emotions he never experienced before. As he searched the ground for any sign of her he noticed many people running about. He could hear them yelling as well. He descended down into the area and caught Jaken's scent. He went directly to the little imp.
"Jaken."
Jaken turned around elated to see his Lord. He ran to him spewing out praises and how happy he was to see him. However, Sesshomaru's question and tone of voice stopped him dead in his tracks.
"Where are they?"
"M-my Lord, Kagura took her b-but I couldn't tell which direction they went." Jaken said shakily.
Sesshomaru glared at him with burning red eyes.
"Please don't kill me! Rin was with a girl, the girl is over there!" Jaken said pointing.
Sesshomaru turned in the direction of the female Jaken pointed to. What was Rin doing out here with this female? Sesshomaru thought. She was on the ground and her back was lying on a brick wall. He approached the girl ready to interrogate her. She was badly bruised and her breaths were labored.
"Who are you and what were you doing with Rin?" Sesshomaru asked the girl.
Tsubaki slowly looked up at the tall demon standing in front of her. Even that slight movement caused her pain. "I know where she is." She said but her voice came out as a whisper. He came for Rin. Maybe now, Naraku will be stopped. She suddenly felt her body being lifted from the ground. Shooting pain coursed through her chest. She yelled out in agony but tried to stop herself from crying. She needed to help Sesshomaru get to Rin.
"You will take me to her." Sesshomaru said. She pointed north and Sesshomaru took off into the air with the wounded girl in his arms.
"Wait my Lord!" Jaken caught up just in time to grab the bottom of Sesshomaru's pant leg and hang on for dear life.
They flew across the city at a dizzying speed. Tsubaki would point or try to speak every now and then to lead him in the right direction. Sesshomaru had no reason to trust this girl; if she led him wrong he would kill her. He had to find Rin. He cursed himself for destroying his cell phone. He would have been able to track her cell phone if he had it. He wouldn't have to depend on the directions of this unknown girl Rin was with. He didn't remember Rin ever mentioning any other friends besides Kagome and the fox boy. So who was this girl? Besides the small traces of blood from the cuts he smelled on her he also smelled a little alcohol on her breath. Were they out drinking? What else did he not know about his mate? He became even angrier.
Soon they were flying over a dark forest with thick trees. Sesshomaru stiffed the air heavily hoping to catch any trace of her scent but the thickness of the tree tops made it difficult for even him. This place was cursed he thought or this girl could be leading him in the wrong direction.
"Where are we?" He demanded.
"Close, but there is a barrier." Tsubaki whispered.
Sesshomaru huffed. No barrier would stop him from getting to Rin. He'd shatter that barrier in one swift motion. But since when did Kagura learn how to construct a barrier? And how does this girl know where Kagura is?
"What is your relationship to Kagura?" Sesshomaru demanded.
"It's not Kagura, it's…..stop! We're here." Tsubaki said, voice finally reaching more than a whisper.
Sesshomaru looked down but saw nothing but trees and bushes. He stopped and slowly descended, the more he went down the stronger he could feel the energy coming from the barrier. He landed just outside of it. Jaken scurried to the ground and kissed the Earth thankful to be done hanging on for dear life. Sesshomaru placed Tsubaki down and propped her body up against a tree. He looked at the girl and noticed she was slowly healing, some of the bruises were no longer as dark anymore. Is she a demon, half demon? He did not sense any demonic aura coming from her. Strange girl indeed. What was Rin doing with this girl?
Tsubaki pointed in the direction of the barrier feeling uncomfortable under his intense gaze.
"Jaken, stay with the girl." And with that Sesshomaru took off quickly towards the barrier.
"Yes my Lord." Jaken said to air as he was already gone.
Sesshomaru ran toward the barrier at full speed. He decided he would simply bust through it and that is exactly what he did. Sesshomaru slammed into the barrier uncaring of what possible damage it could have done. The entire barrier shattered at the sheer force of the dog demon's power. He was left without even a scratch on his handsome face.
"Weakling." He huffed.
His eyes widened as familiar scents flooded his nose. He smelled his Rin and a little bit of her blood. He also smelled Kagura and Naraku? Sesshomaru's anger increased tenfold. His threatening energy could be felt even beyond the forest. He went straight to the cabin and broke down the door. But what he saw before him stopped him dead in his tracks.
"Take one more step and she dies."
