"Now, why are you crying!"
Kuda trembled angrily, "What have you done?" she asked.
Takemisho laughed as he replied, "Taking my land, and everyone's else land as well back! I will be the most powerful demon ever, even more powerful than your dear Lord Sesshomaru. If you want, I will personally take you with me so you can see when your Dear Lord falls."
Kuda sprang at him yelling, only to have metal chains restrain her from getting to him. "You bastard," she yelled at him, "what have you done! What did you do to Lord Sesshomaru!"
Takemisho laughed again as he replied, "I haven't done anything to him, Shishi, it has been Asuyana. She has finally gotten a copy of Sesshomaru's demonic powers, as well with leaving a bad reputation about you."
"Sesshomaru won't fall for it, "she screamed at him, "he'll know it wasn't me!"
"Stop your screaming at me," Takemisho said and punched Kuda in her face, "you do get so bothersome just like your mother."
Kuda growled angrily as she felt her eye close itself and tasted her own blood from her bleeding lip. "And your such a coward like before, sending other people, even your own daughter, do your work for you. Just pathetic." It earned her another punch, but she was glad she managed to say it to his face.
"And you're just like your mother, annoying, bothersome, infuriating, sarcastic, and dreadful to look at at!"
"And yet somehow," Kuda replied spitting blood, "you managed to fall in love with her, no? Or do I take it that you raped her, which was the reason why she killed herself?"
Takemisho smirked at her and replied, "She was a challenge, something amazing. No matter how hard I tried to get that woman to be my mate willingly, she always managed to ignore me," he knelt before Kuda still smirking, "until that night, of course, when she didn't notice I poisoned her into sleeping. She was so smart," he said and grasped Kuda's chin harshly, "yet stupid like you. You are her very image, Shishi."
"And I'm glad because if I was you, I've already killed myself like her," she said, and then sprang at him again. Takemisho was to slow react, and Kuda managed to get his nose into her mouth. But before she could press down with all strength, Takemisho managed to strike Kuda on the side of her head, making her black out for an instant.
Takemisho stood laughing, while he rubbed her nose and said, "What happened to you? What happened to my little strong disobedient and wild Shishi? Love for Sesshomaru has already worn you down, hasn't it?"
"No," Kuda replied as she tried to sit up from the floor, "in fact, love makes you stronger."
"Yes," Takemisho said grumbling, "your mother's favorite words."
"And I love no one," Kuda said as she finally sat, "I hate everything; I hate my life, I hate myself, I hate every rock and tree, every living creature, and I absolutely despise you and Asuyana and it won't be long before your heads are hanging from my hands!"
Takemisho chuckled at her brave words with her state of condition that she was in, "Then there will be no time for you to escape from here and kill us. You've already been rotting in here for eight years, and now you'll rot until the end of your miserable life."
"It will not be me though who will bring you down first," Kuda said smirking at him.
He narrowed his eyes at her, "What are you trying to say?"
"You faked your own death in front of the Council, you burned down your own castle, you deceived Lord Sesshomaru, and you were going to start a war before you died. If it's not the Council that will destroy you, then it will be Lord Sesshomaru."
"You precious Lord will be dead before he lays his hands on me or my lands!" Takemisho yelled at her.
"What lands? You died, those lands now belong to one of our cousins."
"They will see me alive again and I will reclaim my lands in front of everyone!"
"But not before the Council will question you, and possibly kill you for deceiving them as well."
"I kill them, all of them! No one will stop me from claim all of japan's lands, no one!" He hollered at her angrily.
"Father, cease your yelling, for we are much closer to our goal than we expected." Both heads turned to Asuyana who stood outside the cell doorway, her short silver shinning like a star. Kuda gasped, and her eyes burned. She looks just like me, Kuda thought, Sesshomaru thought that was me! I have no chance anymore, Kuda thought, even with my demon, I'm going to die soon with a lie over me that wasn't true!
"Dear sister," Asuyana said smirking at Kuda as she played with the blue flowered bracelet on her wrist, "it seems it wasn't very hard to act just like you, or even deceive Lord Sesshomaru."
"He didn't fall for it," Kuda said quietly, tears that she didn't notice ran down her dirty cheeks again.
"Oh, he did," Asuyana replied laughing, "who knew he had such a love for you!"
"He didn't fall for it!" Kuda screamed as the chains restrained her again.
"Now father, we can come out of our hiding place, and with my new demon we can finally take over the lands!" Asuyana said proudly.
Kuda struggled against the chains, pulling and tugging at each side, screaming. She even bit them, fumbled her hands around them, but finally gave up as she slumped to her knees on the dirt floor, trembling and shaking. What can I do, she thought desperately, what can I do! There's only one thing I can do, she thought angrily and sadly, but I'll make sure I'll kill myself after I fix everything, just like my mother! I won't let anyone cage me, I won't let anyone control me, I won't let anyone love me, and I won't love anyone! With a powerful pull with her left arm, she broke the chains. She quickly stood in flash, and lashed at Asuyana, grabbing her hand angrily. Asuyana screamed angrily as she saw the blue light chain her hand to Kuda's.
Kuda's black hair began to float around her, turning a pale silver color, "Be prepared to die!" Kuda hissed.
As Asuyana was about to to throw a blow into Kuda's face, Kuda's body became surrounded with a brilliant white light which then exploded; the ball of light shooting through the ceiling of the cell and into the night sky.
