A/N: In my goal of trying to make a realistic type of story, it's not all sunshine and butterflies in the Sengoku period. Sensitive topics and violence for a couple of chapters. Don't worry ya'll, I love nothing more than happy times and there will always be lots of happy times. Just need to throw in a few not so enjoyable chain of events here and there. Maybe I've been watching too much Game of Thrones lately.
Unable to sleep, Inuyasha just lay on his back with his arms folded beneath his head, as he stared into the starry sky. Beside him, Kagome lay curled up against his side, sleeping a bit fitfully. He was too busy racking his brains on how to obtain the needed information on their friends' location, so they could formulate a rescue mission.
When his eyes closed briefly, he felt something hit him in the face. "What the fuck?" he grumbled, as he slapped at his nose, only to hear an indignant squeak. Golden eyes blinked as he reached for his face again, this time carefully pinching the flea demon between two claws. "Myoga? What the fuck?"
"You have quite the mouth, my lord," the flea demon cleared his throat. "I am quite glad I found you. Word had started to spread that the army had captured the hanyou's traveling companions, and your father and I feared the worst. You and your lady are safe and sound at least, I see."
"Yeah, it was our two friends that got captured earlier," Inuyasha said quietly, so as not to wake his girlfriend. "The human soldiers swarmed them after we helped defeat the youkai that were attacking their village. They didn't stand a chance. Kagome was damn lucky she was flying around on Kirara's back so she was out of their reach. We're trying to figure out how to locate them and rescue them."
"You're not exactly inconspicuous, and they want you as well," Myoga stated.
"Yeah, I know," Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Which is the problem. The second I'm spotted in that village, you can pretty much guarantee they will attack me, and there's no way in hell I'll let Kagome wander in there by herself. We already had that argument earlier."
"Perhaps I can be of use in this situation, yes? You said you need to locate them, and I'm quite adept at leaping around undetected, particularly around humans. Get me to this village, since I'm not certain which of the two closest ones it is, and I can infiltrate it for you and see what information I can obtain. Then from there we can develop a plan," Myoga suggested.
Inuyasha narrowed his eyes in thought, for it was the best possible solution. "If you're willing, I think that would work quite well. What do we owe you, in exchange for you helping us?"
"Nothing, my lord. I serve the Great Dog Demon, and in return, I serve you, his son," Myoga said grandly.
"Lord," Inuyasha snorted with amusement. "I'm not used to that sort of title. But hey, if you're here to serve me, I'll take you up on it. So I just get you close and let you do your thing, and you'll find me again?"
"Precisely," Myoga nodded. "I can sniff out your blood rather easily. Your father's blood runs very strong through your veins. I'll report everything I learn."
"We'll plan on that then," Inuyasha decided. "Now, I need some rest, so we'll talk in the morning. Kirara might let you sleep in her fur if you ask her nicely. Just no sucking on any of us, especially not Kagome."
"Ah, you are true to your kind. Very protective," Myoga chuckled. "Very well." The round little six legged man struggled free of the claws and bounced his way to the cat, who eyed him curiously, before letting him use her tail as a bed.
Inuyasha rolled onto his side, draping his arm around his girlfriend, who by some miracle hadn't woken up yet. It wasn't a restful sleep, but it was better than nothing, and they both woke before daybreak. After filling her in on the plan to use Myoga as a spy, she sighed with relief. The four of them raced back towards the soldiers' village, slowing down when they reached the outskirts. to send Myoga off and then retreat.
Sometime in the afternoon, Myoga returned, launching himself up to land on the tip of Inuyasha's nose, much to his irritation. "Lord Inuyasha, I have located the slayer and the monk. They are being kept in a small round hut at the north end of the village."
"Are they alive?" Inuyasha interrupted.
"Yes. They look like they have been a bit roughed up. I didn't detect any poison in the slayer's blood, by the monk tastes as if he has ingested some sort of insect venom. He seemed to be doing well enough, but I wouldn't take my time in getting him out of there. I heard the soldiers say that if they catch you, they intend to bring you to the Band of Seven, preferably alive, as is Naraku's wishes. I don't know what he wants with you, but I would advise you to not try and find out."
"Yeah, I don't intend to find out," Inuyasha said dryly.
"How hard will it be to get to them? I'm sure they have guards in place," Kagome commented. She had come up to her boyfriend's side, slipping her arm into his to hold on tightly.
"There were a couple stationed outside the hut your companions are in," Myoga replied. "But as you know, the village is full of soldiers, so it's not just the ones on guard you have to worry about."
"Maybe we can create some kind of distraction, to lure them to the other side of the village, while Inuyasha gets our friends out of there," Kagome said thoughtfully. "Something like a fire?"
"Maybe," Inuyasha squeezed her hand. "The sooner we get them, the better. We need to act tonight." The three of them brainstormed, using Myoga's knowledge of the layout of the village and the various bits of information he had picked up from various soldiers.
It was an agonizing wait until nightfall, but once twilight darkened to jet black, they made their move. In the darkness of the forest, Kirara transformed as she too had a part to play in the rescue mission. Inuyasha pulled Kagome close in an embrace, kissing her forehead. "Please be safe. Just stick to the plan that we came up with and don't put yourself in danger."
"You be safe too," Kagome told him. She tilted her head back, gazing into his worried golden eyes. "Please. I worry when you're not at my side."
Inuyasha leaned down and pressed his lips to hers, kissing her for just a moment. "Kirara, make sure you fly high enough to keep her out of danger. You keep Kagome safe, you hear?"
The cat gave a growl in response, as she turned to glance back at him, her orange eyes staring at his. He gave the youkai cat a nod and then gave his girlfriend a boost onto the cat's back. Kagome adjusted her bow and arrows on her back. Although she wasn't going to be using them, she was going to need to keep them on her after her part was done, just in case.
Inuyasha had turned to gather up several torches they had made, carefully handing them to his girlfriend as she sat on Kirara, and then gave the cat a massive one to hold in her mouth. "Go!" he said coarsely, slapping the cat on the rump to send her on her way. As the two of them took to the sky, Inuyasha grabbed the remaining torches and silently sped forward. The closest edge of the village was going to be his job, and as soon as he was within enough reach, he began flinging the torches straight onto the roofs of various huts.
From up above, Kirara swooped across the village, dropping the massive torch onto the biggest building they saw, and then proceeded to fly around for Kagome to drop her remaining torches on other various buildings. Soon the thatch huts were roaring in flames, as Kirara sped off, making it a good way from the village before slowing to fly up into a massive tree.
"Thank you, Kirara. Now go find Inuyasha!" she whispered, as she shakily grabbed the branches, feeling around with her feet, as she couldn't see a thing. Her part was done, and now she was to sit and wait, per her boyfriend's strict instructions. He was to come track her down once the others had gotten to safety. "Please hurry," she whispered to nobody, once she was alone. It was going to be a long, painstaking wait.
Back at the village, Inuyasha was stealthily sneaking along the outskirts. It was a rather cloudy night, so the moon was completely hidden, which worked out great to their favor. His red fire rat outfit was super dark without any moonlight, and he had pulled his hair in to lay underneath the robe. A dark scarf had been tied around his head to cover up the hair on top of his head, so he was rather hard to see, as almost all of his silver hair was covered right now.
Their plan had worked, for there was mass chaos in the village, as everybody was running around, attempting to put the fires out and rescue those that were trapped. There was one guard at the hut that contained their captured friends. Inuyasha snuck up behind the guard, swiftly tackling him and knocking him unconscious, so that he could slip inside.
He had come to terms with having to kill various youkai, but he wasn't anything remotely close to a murderer, and had no desire to kill a human unless it came to the point his life, or Kagome's life, depended on it. He would do anything to ensure her safety, and he worried about her for a moment before focusing on the task at hand.
The only occupants of the hut were Sango and Miroku, so he rushed straight to them. Inuyasha had grabbed a dagger from the guard he had knocked out moments earlier, as he figured it would be useful to have. He was right, for he noticed that they were both gagged and bound up with rope. Tessaiga in its untransformed state didn't look like it could cut paper, so he grabbed his newly acquired dagger and started to carefully slice through the ropes.
"Inuyasha!" Sango cried, as she looked up at him, once he removed the cloth gag from her mouth. Her eyes darted to the side a moment later. "Kirara!"
Inuyasha glanced over as the tiny two-tailed cat scampered into the hut, transforming once she made it to their side. "I trust you put Kagome somewhere safe?" he asked tersely. Kirara replied with her affirmative growl. "Good girl." With Sango cut free, he started to work on Miroku's ropes. The monk seemed a bit more out of it than Sango, but at least he was awake and alert.
"How did you find us?" Sango asked. Now that she was free, she rubbed her sore wrists as she cautiously peered out the doorway, trying to make sense of what was going on outside.
"A flea helped. We can chat later. Let's get you all out of here before somebody else comes running here to check on you two," Inuyasha said grimly. He pulled them both to their feet, happy to notice they were each capable of standing, although Miroku started to fall and had to be caught by Sango. "What's wrong with him?"
"He sucked poison wasps into his wind tunnel when we were on the battlefield. He's been doing better but it's taking him a while to recover," Sango replied. "Can you hold him while I get on Kirara and then help him get up behind me? Miroku, are you going to be able to hang on to me?"
"I'll always be able to hang on to you. Anytime you want," Miroku grinned widely, making the slayer roll her eyes at him.
"Get on," Inuyasha sighed, using his hand for Miroku to step on so he could give the monk a boost onto the giant cat. In his daze, he almost slid off of the other side, but saved himself by wrapping his arms around Sango.
"Wait, where is Hiraikotsu? And your staff?" Sango exclaimed, glancing around the hut wildly. It was pretty much bare in here, and she didn't see the giant boomerang anywhere.
"I heard them say something about taking our weapons to the blacksmith, to maybe see if he could sell or trade them," Miroku chimed in.
"Inuyasha, do you think you can find the weapons? Hiraikotsu is no ordinary weapon and I'll never be able to find another one like it, with my clan destroyed," Sango pleaded. "I'm only so much of a warrior without my main weapon."
"Fucking hell," Inuyasha swore. This was not part of the plan. He hadn't even thought about the weapons their friends carried, nor the fact that they may have been taken away. "Fine, I'll try and do what I can, and hopefully we didn't set them on fire. You three get out of here!"
As Kirara raced out the door, the two humans on her back, Inuyasha crept out, sticking to the shadows, as he tried to hunt down their weapons. If that damn boomerang hadn't actually been such a unique weapon, he would have told her to forget about it. A couple of soldiers raced by in front of him, making him duck down behind some crates for a second, until they passed. In the distance, the fires were still blazing, as they struggled to put them out.
Doing his best to peer around, he soon spotted what looked like some kind of forge. "That has to be the blacksmith," he muttered under his breath, as he prepared to dart across a wide open section. Nobody was around, so creeping low to the ground, he made a beeline for the shop. Hiraikotsu was easy to spot, but it took a few for him to find the staff. Knowing that it was a holy weapon, he was a bit nervous about picking it up, but it didn't seem to cause any ill effect.
'Great, now it's time to get the fuck out of here,' Inuyasha thought, as he gripped the weapons under an arm, to securely hold them. He paused to peer outside and saw that some soldiers had returned, and were running around, peering into the various buildings. He bit back a snarl, cursing to himself silently, for why did everything always have to get screwed up?
Once the humans cleared away, Inuyasha started to sneak out. He could detect a few people nearby, so he was going to have to be really careful. As he started to creep away, towards the row of buildings on the edge of the village, there was a loud crackle, as something exploded directly in front of him.
Thick smoke immediately surrounded Inuyasha, making him cough and gag horribly. His eyes were burning so bad he literally could not open them, and his throat felt like it was swelling shut. He could scarcely breathe or do anything at the moment, with his mind going fuzzy. Then out of nowhere, something slammed into his side, knocking him flat on the ground, the weapons being flung out of his grasp.
Meanwhile, back in the tree, Kagome was wringing her hands nervously. It seemed like it was taking a long time for Inuyasha to get back to her. Wasn't he supposed to run in, grab them, and get to safety? Maybe it was just her nerves not being able to keep track of time. He was strong and stealthy, and she had her faith in him. She just wished time would fly by a little faster.
Eventually she detected some youkai, making her head snap up. It wasn't Inuyasha's youkai, but it was familiar, and a moment later, Kirara flew to her branch. "Kirara!" she cried out, when she saw the cat had some smeared blood on her pale yellow fur. "Where's Inuyasha?" Kirara just let out a cry, making her heart sink. "Where are the others? Are they safe?"
Obviously Kirara couldn't talk, so Kagome didn't waste a moment to jump onto the flying cat's back. "Take me to them!" She was trying hard not to cry, for she knew something was very, very wrong. Without actually examining the cat, she couldn't tell if the blood belonged to her or one of the others. Gripping the thick mane tightly, she closed her eyes and hung on, as the cat flew towards a sheer cliff face, before swooping down to a shallow cave.
No sooner had the cat's feet touched the ground, did Kagome leap from her back to rush to the two prone figures. She could see blood on both of them, little tiny cuts all over. "Sango! Miroku!" she cried out, as she dropped to their sides. They were both alive, but bloodied up. Miroku seemed to be worse off though, for he was shaking and sweating.
Trying not to panic, she put a hand on each of her friend's as she sat there with eyes closed, drawing upon her healing powers. It was extremely difficult for her to concentrate, for Inuyasha was not here, and that was a very, very bad sign. Sango began to stir first, so when she was well off enough, Kagome put both hands on Miroku to concentrate on him.
"Sango, what happened?" Kagome cried out. "Where is Inuyasha?"
Sango winced as she struggled to sit up. Her entire body ached a bit, from being tied up uncomfortably for so long, to being attacked as they escaped. "I'm not exactly sure what happened when we tried to escape…" her voice was thick, and it took some effort for her to speak. Whatever she had breathed in after they had flown off, had made her extremely woozy. "Inuyasha…they managed to knock Inuyasha out…I think they got him."
"No!" Kagome screamed, bursting into tears. "Noooooooo!" As sobs wracked her body, she began to hyperventilate, her mind picturing all sorts of devastating outcomes. He was her world, the one who drove her crazy like no other, the one who protected her fiercely, and the one she was realizing she had come to love. She had to find a way to save him somehow. Otherwise she would never be able to go on.
"Kagome," Sango said tearfully, as she wrapped her arms around her friend in a tight hug. She had absolutely no idea what to say to her right now.
"We need to go get him!" Kagome screamed, as she managed to get to her feet clumsily. "We have to figure out how to go save him! They'll kill him! They want him the most! They kept you two alive because they were using you as bait, to draw us in, and we fell for it! They want us dead!" She continued her screaming rant as Sango did her best to calm her down, failing miserably.
Eventually Kagome's cries began to subside, when she realized that she was going to be no help in her current state of mind. If they were going to figure out a way to rescue Inuyasha, they needed a plan. Feeling shaky, Kagome managed to rise to her feet. "I'm going to the stream. I need some more water right now before I pass out, and I need a moment to think."
Stalking away from the cave with determination, she made her way towards the stream the spotted earlier. After splashing her face with the cool water, to try and calm herself down, she stared into the rippling reflection she was making. The little bit of moonlight was making the water sparkle, and gave off just enough light to make out her general features.
The sudden rustle of leaves made Kagome whirl around in a panic. She had been so caught up in her grief, that she hadn't sensed the jewel shard that this man was carrying until now. A young man stumbled out from the path, dropping down to collapse at the base of a tree. "Help me!" he pleaded.
"What's wrong with you?" Kagome asked, eyeing him cautiously. With everything that had gone down in the past day, she was quite leery at being approached by anybody in this general vicinity.
The man coughed as he struggled to push himself up to a sitting position, wincing painfully in the process. "I was attacked by bandits on the road, just a short while ago. I'm a traveling doctor, and it seems they wanted all the herbs and medicines I was carrying. They stabbed me, and left me for dead. I have a few bandages on me, but I can't bear the sight of looking at all this blood. Can you help me, please!"
Kagome shifted nervously, as she eyed him. The man was dressed in a simple brown kosode with blue hakama, no actual armor or weapons on him. He very much looked like the traveling merchants and villagers here in this time, but one could never be too sure.
However, he wasn't faking his injuries, for she could see the fresh blood on his side, where the kosode had a hole from whatever he was stabbed with. When he pleaded for her help again, she bit her lip and then slowly stepped forward. The fact that the jewel shard he had in his possession was of utmost purity was the main reason she decided to trust him and provide him with some aid. That wasn't something that could be faked.
"Thank you," the man gasped, as Kagome squatted down and took the bandages he handed to her.
"No problem. I'm a healer myself, so you got lucky you came across just the right person," Kagome told him. As she got to work, she curiously eyed the small leather pouch on a string around his neck that contained the shard. Although she wanted to ask him what he was doing, carrying around a shard like that, she also didn't want to make him aware that she could sense it.
They chatted a bit as she used her healing powers on him, and he quickly gave her the impression that he really was just a good honest fellow. They talked about his passion for saving others, especially young children. He had none of his own, for he never married, as he was a wanderer by nature. Settling down just wasn't something he ever saw himself doing, not when he could roam from village to village, tending to the ill and saving as many lives as possible.
It was taking longer to heal him than it should, for Kagome had already been in a state of complete mental exhaustion before she had even began. Still, she was stubborn and couldn't leave an innocent man to die. "You must have been poisoned, too, when they stabbed you," she commented, as she continued sitting there with her hands at his side. Stopping the bleeding had been her main priority, but as she got that taken care of, she was pretty sure that the stab wouldn't wasn't his only problem. "I can take care of that, too, though. Just relax."
"Ok. Thank you," he told her, letting his head fall back against the tree as he closed his eyes. "I'm feeling much better already."
"Good. I'm glad," Kagome said. Turning her gaze to her own hands, she simply stared at them for a bit as she worked, before letting her own eyes fall shut as well, as if she were in meditation. It was easier to concentrate that way right now.
A couple of minutes later, her eyes flashed wide open when she felt her wrist being grabbed rather roughly. "I said, I'm feeling better," he told her. This time as he spoke, his voice was deeper, and lacked the kindly tone it held earlier.
"Ok! Great! I'll stop!" Kagome squeaked out, staring at him with wide eyes, for she was entirely confused as to his sudden shift in demeanor. Instead of letting go of her wrist, he twisted it to the side, making her cry out. "I said I'll stop!" she yelped, suddenly feeling a bit fearful. The man that was sitting in front of her right now was no longer the sweet, caring man that she had originally knelt down to help. His eyes had darkened and now held a cold look to them. It also looked as if green stripes were starting to appear on his face.
"Who are you? Let go of me!" Kagome yelled, now in a full blown panic, as she tried to pull herself away from him.
It was to of no avail, for he easily held onto her with one hand, an evil scowl forming on his face. "Name's Suikotsu. And I just can't do that. However, I do want to thank you for whatever it was that you did to me, that helped subdue that damn doctor. Now the real me is out and hear to stay."
"What? No! Let go of me! Help!" Kagome screamed, as she tried to fight with all of her might. It was futile, for he was way too strong for her.
Suikotsu let out a long, low laugh. "Nobody's coming to help you. You're coming with me." With one easy movement, he pinned her to the ground, straddling her to keep her arms and legs still, as he grabbed a cloth from his sleeves and covered her face with it. Whatever it was soaked in stunk, and within moments, she was unconscious.
When Kagome eventually came to, she found herself laying on the dirt. Her entire body ached, and felt too stiff to move, so she just lay there for a bit, tears running out of the corners of her eyes. When she found the strength to move, she started to slide her arms up, only to feel heavy restraints. Panic flowed through her body once again, as she stared wild-eyed at the shackles around her wrists. Her ankles felt heavy as well, and she realized they also had shackles on them.
"Where the fuck am I?" she yelped, in sheer panic, as she glanced all around. Must be the soldier's village, judging by the number of burnt buildings. Their plan had seemingly worked up to a point, but then it must have gone horribly wrong somehow. "Where is Inuyasha?"
"Hey, Tiro, the little bitch is awake," came a raspy voice from behind her. Kagome managed to twist around a bit, to get a look at who spoke. It was just some random soldier, leering at her with his arms crosses as he sat on a wooden crate, sharpening his sword. "Think she's asking where the hanyou filth is." He turned and spat at her general direction. "Youkai whore."
"I'm no whore," Kagome snarled, instant rage taking over, when they referenced her boyfriend. "Where is he?"
"You'll see him soon enough," the man snickered at her. "We've got a little surprise planned for your reunion."
"Don't you dare hurt him!" Kagome screamed, which made the two men laugh.
"Don't you dare hurt him," the one that must be named Tiro mocked at her. "What are you gonna do if we do decide to hurt him? Huh? Not much you can do all chained up like that! We should experiment and see which body parts grow back!" They laughed, and her stomach started to twist.
Eventually some other soldiers showed up, roughly hauling her to her feet as they dragged her away. Various soldiers were standing about, cheering over something. Kagome found herself dragged towards a small crowd, which parted as she was strung along. She was then shoved so that she fell down onto the ground, barely catching herself with her hands.
Completely bewildered and terrified, Kagome was in tears as she lifted her head, to see a very familiar figure chained up just a short distance from her. Her heart immediately caught in her throat as she stared at the long silver hair, which was streaked with dark red blood. He had his head hanging down right now, as he knelt in front of her with both hands tied behind his back. Even the fire rat robe had splotches of bloodstains on it.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed out, and then cried out in agony when a foot kicked her in the ribs. At the sound of her voice, Inuyasha lifted his head, his eyes a bit unfocused, as he stared at her.
"Alright, don't rough her up too much. We still want her to look pretty for a bit," a gruff voice spoke.
"Shall I give the halfblooded another dosage, now that the previous one is wearing off?" croaked a short fat man. Kagome stared up at him, feeling completely freaked out. He had a bulbous face with black eyes and strange markings. For some reason he reminded her of a toad, although he appeared to be a human.
The gruff voice spoke again, and it seemed to belong to one of the soldiers here, that was up in rank somewhere. "Not now, Mukotsu. I want him to witness this. As long as he's still subdued enough, that's all that matters."
"Well, if you're not going to drug him up anymore, and you only care about the bitch looking pretty, then we still get to have our fun with him in other ways, right?" a huge, muscular man with teal hair asked loudly, as he strode towards Inuyasha, giving him a swift kick in the chest. Inuyasha tried to snarl as he choked, doubling over from having the wind knocked out of him.
"Leave him alone!" Kagome screamed, as tears rolled down her cheeks. She glanced around, eyes darting back and forth, looking at the massive crowd of soldiers circled around them. Her eyes widened when she spotted a vaguely familiar face. "You! You're the one who knocked me out!"
"Orders," Suikotsu grinned at her evilly.
The one that kicked Inuyasha turned to her, his huge mouth opening wide as he laughed. He was just as creepy as the round toad like little man. Both of them appeared human, but had jewel shards as well, she sensed. Her eyes widened as she thought of the shards they had already collected, which had been left behind in the bag. Hopefully it was still with Sango and Miroku, and hopefully they were ok as well.
"Oh, does this bother you?" he cackled, before turning back to Inuyasha and raising his foot again.
"DON'T!" Kagome screamed even louder, for she couldn't bear the sight of seeing Inuyasha being beaten before her. It was heartbreaking to watch, and she sobbed, struggling to break free from her chains. If she could rush over and protect him, she would.
"Tell you what," he told her, cracking his knuckled, after delivering another blow to Inuyasha. "You keep your mouth shut, and stop blubbering, and I'll stop attacking him. When you cry like that, you're really ugly, and we don't want ugly. Now shut up!"
Inuyasha raised his head, which felt like it was splitting in two. There was the taste of his own blood in his mouth, and he was quite certain he had a few broken bones right now. He was aware that Kagome had been captured and was sitting in front of him, which made his blood boil with rage, but he was having a very hard time reacting physically at the moment. It was like his muscles were sluggish and uncooperative, to the point that any movement at all involved great effort. All he could really do was lift his head.
Wordlessly, Inuyasha stared at his girlfriend. He had never felt more sick to his stomach in his entire life. This was his greatest fear, and it was becoming reality. He had endured torture for who knew how long now, and while she looked mostly unharmed for the moment, he knew it wouldn't be that way for long.
The one called Mukotsu, who smelled like the poison that he had been drugged with, stepped forward until he was just a couple feet away. Inuyasha snarled low in his throat as he glared up at the fat old man, wishing he could just take him out in a single swipe right now. His gross, wide lips parted, revealing rotting old teeth. "Looks like we've got both of the ones we were sent here to capture and kill. Things didn't go as according to plan, but we got what we wanted in the end. I thought we would only get the half-breed, but our dear brother Suikotsu proved to be of immeasurable value in capturing its whore as well. Although, I deserve credit for his success as well, for it was my medicine coating the knife we stabbed him with, that was able to fully suppress the bloodthirsty killer half of him."
Inuyasha growled, as struggled to get free, to no avail. "Our leader promised us great reward if we bring him your heads. So we are going to do just that, but first, we are going to take our own reward first. We are going to kill both of you, but I think we'll start with the bitch first." He paused, and laughed loudly at Inuyasha, who was starting to struggle a bit, as his rage started to pump adrenaline throughout his body.
"I think the dog is getting angry at that." Inuyasha snarled as the huge man that stunk of death dropped to his knee, grabbing him by the hair, and twisting his head back. "Good. It makes me happy to know he disapproves so heartily." Inuyasha was snarling as the giant man stared him in the eye. "Just so you know, we're going to kill her. Very, very slowly. But don't worry, we aren't going to kill her yet. Not while she is still alive, and warm, and her body can still provide us all with some pleasure first. I'll take her first, as a reward for being the one to take the dog down first, with my bombs and poisons."
He released Inuyasha's hair, laughing loudly as he stood up. Inuyasha was immediately enraged, lurching against his restraints as best as he could. "Don't you fucking dare!" he snarled loudly. It was to no avail, for the poison was still in his system, preventing him from breaking free and rescuing Kagome. This was pure hell on Earth to him, and the soldiers were all laughing as he snarled and his girlfriend sobbed.
As Inuyasha stared at Kagome in utter despair, his entire body shook with rage as he watched them rip her kimono down, leaving it bunched around her waist where the obi was tied. Fortunately she still had her bra on underneath it. Mukotsu had already dropped his pants and began jerking off in front of her face, as she cried and screamed out for him to do something, to somehow save her. There was nothing he could do right now, for as hard as he tried to break free, he didn't have the strength at the moment to do so.
When Mukotsu took another step towards his girlfriend, reaching out to grab her, as he had declared he would get the first go at her, Inuyasha's vision suddenly went red.
