Kagome and Kaname Enslaved
The next morning, Michiru awoke to the affectionate licking Kirara placed upon his lips as he slept. Giggling in his sleep, Michiru laughed, "Ha! Sango! What are you do-" But then as his eyes fluttered open, he realized that it was only Kirara licking his lips as she did from time to time.
"Oh, good morning Kirara." Michiru smiled. "It looks like it's going to be a beautiful day."
Wiping the sleep from his eyes, Michiru rose from his sleeping bag and unzipped the door to his tent. Looking outside he saw Kagome washing dishes to prepare to make breakfast while InuYasha was chopping wood for the fire.
Getting a mischievous idea, and noticing the others hadn't noticed he had woken yet, Michiru then chanted a spell with his Wood Shikigami and channeled it into the log that InuYasha was about to cut. He watched as InuYasha brought the Tetsusaiga down with all his strength upon the log but as soon as it made contact, it didn't split in half.
"Oh!" InuYasha gasped as his eyes popped wide open. Shaking his head, he brought his sword down again, but still the log wouldn't break. Growling in growing frustration, he began swiping his sword on the log again and again, but still couldn't succeed in even breaking off a chip of wood from the log.
Kagome, still unaware of Michiru being awake nor the fact he was using his Wood Shikigami to make the log InuYasha was trying to cut too strong, took notice of InuYasha growling angrily while bringing his sword upon the log over and over. Getting annoyed thinking that InuYasha was just fooling around, Kagome cried out in anger.
"Hey InuYasha!" She flared with her arms crossed across her chest. "Just what do you think you're doing? Get that wood chopped now!"
Growling louder, InuYasha replied, "I'm trying Kagome! But something's wrong with my Tetsusaiga! The log won't cut!"
"Nonsense." Kagome grumbled picking up her hatchet. "Let me have a go at it."
Seeing Kagome approach, Michiru began invoking another spell into the log. This time to make it incredibly weak. So weak where even a mere flick of a finger would split the log in half.
As soon as Kagome walked over to the log InuYasha was trying to cut, she brought her hatchet down upon it with all the strength she could muster. As soon as her hatchet touched the log, it shattered into a million splinters shocking InuYasha and Kagome.
Requiring a moment to recover, Kagome glowered at InuYasha and said, "See? The log is weak! You were just goofing around instead of doing the hard work I asked of you!"
"Kagome, I'm telling you! The log wouldn't cut!" InuYasha insisted.
"I've heard quite enough of your nonsense!" Kagome flared. "Just quit slacking off and get back to work!"
"Kagome!" InuYasha flared back. "Will you stop being stubborn and list-"
"SIT BOY!" Kagome yelled out not liking being called 'stubborn.'
"ARGGGH!" InuYasha cried as he fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Michiru suddenly regretted his little prank and thought of telling Kagome about his little prank, but then he suddenly realized he didn't want InuYasha to get angry at him. So he decided that he'd had his fun and make his presence known. With that, he crawled out of his tent and greeted his friends.
"Good morning Kagome." He greeted with a friendly and innocent manner. "Good morning InuYasha. Problems with the fire?"
Seeing their friend had woke up, Kagome turned to Michiru and smiled, "No, just InuYasha slacking off again. Can you believe he said that pile of splinters I just smashed up was a log too powerful for him to cut? The nerve! InuYasha will do and say just about anything to get out of doing his share of work around here."
"Yeah..." Michiru nodded not wanting to get found out. "Listen Kagome, why don't I finish up the wood? My Shikiga is built more for household chores than the Tetsusaiga."
"Right, good idea." Kagome nodded turning to InuYasha. "And as for you, go to the nearby stream and catch some fish for dinner."
"Alright, alright." InuYasha grumbled getting up to leave to head to the stream.
"I hope he catches something big this time." Kagome stated. "We haven't eaten anything of stature for breakfast for a good while. We've been having big meals for dinner, and lost energy throughout the day as we travel."
"Yeah, and most of what we have for dinner goes to Kirara and InuYasha's relentless appetites." Michiru agreed. "I'm not saying Kirara's greedy, but humans don't conserve energy like ravenous demons do. We need it more than they do."
"That's for sure." Kagome nodded. "Especially since we'll need all the energy we can handle for the long climb ahead to Koga's lair."
Nodding, Michiru and Kagome's conversation was suddenly interrupted by a sinister chuckle.
"No need to worry about climbing my little pretty..." Several soft yet somewhat hissing voices spoke at the same time was heard. "The only thing you will have to worry about from here on in issss pleasssing me in your new life of ssservitude to me."
Judging from the lisp in which these voices spoke, Kagome and Michiru quickly deduced that there were either some serpent or feline demon. Whatever they were, they didn't sound very friendly.
"Little pretty?" Michiru whispered to Kagome's ear. "Does that mean they're after you?"
"Probably." Kagome groaned. "I'm always the one getting kidnapped!"
"Issss that sssso?" The voices asked. "Can't ssssay I'm sssssurprisssed. You are quite an attractive beauty."
"Don't worry Kagome," Michiru whispered. "Whatever these voices are, I won't let them take you."
"Hey bro! Hey Kagome! What's going on?" Kaname's voice spoke sleepily getting the attention of Michiru who turned to see Kaname rising from her tent. "Is breakfast ready yet? Why is your blade drawn."
"Kaname!" Michiru cried. "We're under attack! Get over here and help me protect-" But then Michiru turned to see Kagome was no longer behind him.
"Kagome!" Michiru cried cursing himself for losing focus. "Kagome! Where are you?"
Hearing that sinister hissing laughter again, Michiru deduced that this demon or whatever it was had snatched up Kagome while Kaname was distracting him.
"Bastard!" He cursed. "What have you done with Kagome? Where is she?"
"You mean your pretty little friend?" The voices replied. "Why ssshe'ssss right above your head."
"What?" Michiru spoke as his head looked upwards to see to his shock, Kagome wrapped from toe to her mouth in a giant snake's coils. This confirmed that at least one of these voices came from a demon snake. He looked to she the frightened look in her eyes as she stuggled against her bods to get free. But the more she squirmed and stuggled, the tighter the coils wrapped around her until they squeezed the fight right out of her and she passed out exhausted.
"Kagome!" Michiru cried invoking the power of his Ice Shikigami and channeling it into his Shikiga. Knowing that reptiles were vulnerable to the cold, Michiru knew that all it took would be one swipe and this demon would fall asleep thus releasing Kagome from her bonds.
"Argghhhh!" Kaname's voice shrieked as Michiru turned to see another giant snake tail wrap itself around his sister's waist.
"Kaname!" Michiru cried as he prepared to slice the tail that was rapidly wrapping around his sister's body and lifting her into the treetops. But before he could take one swipe or spray one beam of ice energy at the tail, his finely toned instincts sensed the presence of a pari of eyes closing in on him. Focusing on the Demon Slayer training that Sango had given him, Michiru bided his time until he knew the head was soon to strike. At that moment he turned around swinging his sword in the air and with a rapid slash he chopped the snake head that was about to attack him righ off its neck.
Smiling, Michiru sheathed his sword and looked up knowing that without a head to govern the body, soon the grips on Kagome and Kaname would slacken thus allowing them to get free.
Kaname was still conscious, so she would be able to get down on her own, but Kagome was unconscious and needed to be caught in order to avoid injury. So getting under Kagome's branch, Michiru looked up preparing for her to fall to the ground.
But as he looked up, he noticed something peculiar. Kagome was still wrapped up tightly in the coils of this snake and wasn't budging in the least.
"What?" Michiru asked. "But...how can this be? I sliced off the snake demon's head, he's dead, so Kagome should be able to get free."
Then the hissing laughter began again much to Michiru's shock.
"I wouldn't be sssso sssssure of that." The voices spoke.
"What?" Michiru asked. "But...how?"
"Noticcce boy that there are more than one voiccccce ssssspeaking." The voices spoke out. "Sssssoooooo..."
Just then, Michiru then felt a chill go down his spine as at least thirty heads rose from the treetops! They were all hissing and flickering in their tongues.
"So there's more of you..." Michiru groaned.
"Well, not exactly." One of the snake heads replied. "There are indeed multiple sssssnake heads, but there isssss only one of me."
"What?" Michiru asked in confusion. "What are you talking about?"
"Perhapsssss THISSSSS will exxxxplain thingssss better..." The heads replied as the neck that had lost its head suddenly rose as if it was alive! Michiru watched in horror as the head then began to thrash violently around and suddenly split into three parts. Three parts that turned into three snake heads all the same size and shape of all the other heads that were hissing around.
"Shoot!" Michiru snapped realizing what they were up against. "You're a Hydra demon!"
"That'ssss right." The three new heads spoke in unison. "No matter how many you ssssliccccce off, three more will step in their placcccccesssss!"
Gritting his teeth and wishing he hadn't played that little prank and had Kagome send InuYasha away to find food, Michiru then remembered his Greek Mythology and grinned.
"That may be so." Michiru replied his confidence growing. "But I know your ultimate weakness!"
With that, his Shikiga changed from the glowing blue of ice to the glowing red, orange, and yellows of fire. He knew that in Greek Mythology, the mighty Hercules had killed the Hydra by burning off its heads with a torch.
"Your heads may regenerate," Michiru began. "But you're not fireproof!"
His words were met with more hissing chuckling.
"What's so funny?" He demanded.
"Before you go trying to burn all my headsssss off," The voices began. "You might want to take a look at where we are."
"Huh?" Michiru began then suddenly he realized waht the heads were talking about. Unlike when Hercules fought the Hydra in a moist swamp, they were in a forest. This prevented Michiru from using fire for if he did, the entire forest would catch fire thus killing off all the wildlife and putting villagers and even the team at risk. Besides, with Kagome wrapped up helplessly in the treetops, she would likely be incinerated in the blast as well.
"Damn it!" Michiru cursed. "Then what do I do?"
"Michiru!" Kaname's voice cried again as the coils went back to wrapping tightly around her body.
"Kaname!" Michiru cried as he watched his helpless sister struggle against her bonds like Kagome had earlier. But like Kagome, she soon got to tired to fight and passed out sleeping in her captors coils.
"Well, two young prettiessss to join my little collection of beauty." The voices teased. "Not bad for a sssslow morning sssstart."
"Collection?" Michiru asked. "You mean, you're not planning on eating them?"
A dimmer of hope lighting in his heart that Kagome and Kaname would be safe should the worst happen, Michiru listened as the voices answered, "Not jusssst yet. Why wasste ssssuch fine and healthy bodiessss in one morning? Besssidessss, like a fine sssake, I like my prey to age a bit before I enjoy their tassste."
Even though that meant they would be safe for now, it also meant that they would be eaten later. Knowing that either way his sister and friend would be eaten if this demon got away, Michiru stood still ready to fight even though he couldn't exploit the Hydra's weakness in the forest.
"What am I going to do?" Michiru asked. "I need a little help-"
"TAKE THAT!" Miroku's voice cried out of nowhere as one of his sutras flew in striking one of the heads on the noggin.
"ARGGGGGHHHHH!" The Hydra griped as the power of the sutra enveloped its head.
Michiru watched in amazement as the head suddenly began to writhe and died. Since it hadn't been severed off, it couldn't grow back.
"Good work Miroku!" Michiru congratulated. "We may have found a way that might work! I hope you've got about fifty more of those pieces of paper!"
"I've got more than that Michiru!" Miroku nodded. "Let's do this!"
"Right!" Michiru replied as he prepared to perform his sutra combo attack with Miroku.
"Damn you monk!" The Hydra swore. "I'm going to kill you for- WHAT?!"
It was then that the Hydra noticed the hole in Miroku's hand. The same hole that according to its mother sucked in its father many years ago.
"No...no...NOOOOOO!" The demon cried. "Not the Wind Tunnel!"
"Huh?" Miroku spoke noticing the demon's fear. "Wait, Michiru. I think this thing is afraid of my Wind Tunnel!"
"Yeah I heard!" Michiru spoke. Even though Miroku couldn't use the Wind Tunnel, it still might be able to be used to scare a demon that knew what it was. "Well then, Mr. Hydra, if you don't want to be sucked into the void of Miroku's Wind Tunnel here, I suggest you release Kagome and my sister and slither out of here."
"Hey, what's going on over here?" InuYasha asked as he bounced over with Shippo following.
"InuYasha! Shippo!" Michiru and Miroku cried as they lost focus on the Hydra demon for a split second. Unfortunately, that split second was all the time that the Hydra demon needed to escape with Kagome and Kaname clutched tightly within his coils.
"KAGOME!" InuYasha cried.
"KANAME!" Michiru cried out as well.
But they were too late. By now that Hydra was too far to be pursued by the group. It had escaped.
On another nearby forest, a figure dressed in white sat crouched against the fire. Hearing the sounds of a little raven-haired teenage girl and an old imp arguing as was customary for them to do, he rose and decided to break them up before Jaken got any ideas of using violence against the girl.
"Since you've hit puberty, you've become a disrespectful little brat, Rin!" Jaken scolded. "If only Lord Sesshomaru would let me, I'd give you two-hundred spankings on your rear with my Staff of Two Heads!"
"Lord Sesshomaru would never allow you to do that!" Rin shot back defiantly.
No longer the young little girl she used to be, she was now a tall, young, and very attractive beauty. Whenever she traveled with her Lord and his companion and wandered into a human village, all the young males there all asked for her hand in marriage...and usually had to deal with her Lord and father-figure's wrath at that.
"The sooner as we get to Kasasagi Town, the better!" Jaken proclaimed. "That's when you Rin will move away to attend that school Michiru Kururugi funded to have built there, and that's when you'll be out of my hair!"
"Jaken!" Sesshomaru's voice flared.
"Ugh, y-y-yes Lord Sesshomaru?" Jaken asked nervously.
"Be quiet." Sesshomaru commanded. "Or else I'll put you in the service of Michiru Kururugi after we've dropped Rin off at school."
Knowing that Michiru didn't care much for his company, and the fact he had beaten Sesshomaru to a draw thus making him on par with Sesshomaru himself, the last thing Jaken wanted was to be in service to him. So he rapidly shut his mouth and walked away grumbling.
"Do I have to go to college Lord Sesshomaru?" Rin asked.
Looking at Rin, Sesshomaru gave a nod and said, "Yes. You aren't suited for battle Rin. You should grow into an intelligent young woman." Just then, Sesshomaru's powerful ears heard a commotion coming from a nearby forest.
"What is it Lord Sesshomaru?" Rin asked noticing the change in Sesshomaru's demeanor.
"It's InuYasha. He's nearby." Sesshomaru grumbled. "He's crying out the name of the priestess that travels with him."
"Do you hear Big Brother or Big Sister?" Rin asked as Sesshomaru listened further.
Sesshomaru listened and soon he heard another voice he recognized, a voice he recognized crying out a name he also recognized.
"KANAME!" The voice of Michiru Kururugi cried in Sesshomaru's ears. The tone of voice depicted to Sesshomaru fear and worry coming from Michiru's voice. Signs that his sister, Kaname Kururugi, was in danger.
Picking up his weapons, Sesshomaru turned to Rin and said, "Rin, find Jaken. Something's happened that might require out attention."
"Okay, Lord Sesshomaru." Rin nodded setting out to find Jaken.
Seeing her leave, Sesshomaru stared into the horizon and thought to himself. If Kaname was in danger, and some outside demon was the cause of that, that demon would answer to him!
"Nobody hurts Rin and doesn't answer to me, and nobody hurts Kaname and doesn't answer to me!" Sesshomaru thought to himself. "I'll get to the bottom of this."
When Kagome woke up, she fluttered her eyes to see she was lying on a soft silken pillow in a gold colored room. Waking up all of a sudden, she gasped as she felt a slight chill against her stomach and lower back. Looking down, she let out a gasp and a blush at the skimpy outfit she now wore.
Her skirt had been replaced with a thin green sarong that reached all the way down to her ankles, she could even feel the fabric of a thong between the area of her rear. Her sailor top was now a revealing gold bikini top with bits of jade and emeralds encrusted in them. She was barefoot with fancy ankle bracelets and jewelry adorning her arms, legs, and fingers. She saw that she wore a green face veil, a ponytail, and felt inside her navel to see that is was pierced with an emerald stuck in her bellybutton. Her ears had been pierced too with dangling gold and emerald earrings. The one detail that really pointed out to her was the gold snake-shaped armband with emerald eyes on her upper right arm slithering around it like a snake with multiple heads
Seeing a mirror nearby, Kagome looked in shock at her reflection. She was dressed like a harem girl. Like she was somebody's personal pleasure slave who was expected to please a master in very adult ways.
"I've been captured and threatened to be eaten by demons before." Kagome thought to herself. "Heck, I've been kidnapped by beings trying to force me to marry them, but I've never had to endure anything like THIS before!"
Looking around the room and noticing it was indeed decorated like and Arabian harem, Kagome wondered to herself where this being that had captured her had access to what an Arabian harem resembled. But these thoughts were suddenly interrupted but the sound of Kaname stirring from sleep.
"Kaname!" Kagome cried looking around. She found Kaname on another pillow dressed like a harem girl like her. Her outfit consisted of a red thong under red see-through pants. She wore on her breasts a couple of red Shikigami pentagrams with a couple of rubies to cover her nipples, but other than that she was bare breasted! She too had jewelry on her arms legs and fingers. Golden jewelry encrusted with rubies. Her short hair was done in two braids alongside her bangs, and like Kagome her navel was now pierced with a ruby lodged in her bellybutton. She too had a gold snake-shaped armband on her right upper arm with rubies for eyes.
"Kaname, wake up!" Kagome spoke trying to shake her friend awake.
"Hmmm?" Kaname asked slowly opening here eyes. "K-Kagome? Where...where are we?" Suddenly noticing Kagome's outfit, Kaname bolted up and cried, "Kagome! Wha-what are you WEARING?!" Suddenly feeling the draft on her own body and the slight pain for fresh piercings on her ear lobes and navel, Kaname looked down and cried as she crossed her arms over her almost completely naked chest, "Wha-wha-what am I wearing?!"
"Good thing Sango didn't come along this time!" Kagome cried. "She'd FLIP if she woke up dressed like this!"
"Not fond of your new outfitsssss?" The hissing voices asked. "Don't worry, that will change sssshortly."
Getting annoyed, Kagome cried out, "Who are you? Why have you done this to us? Where are our friends?"
Chuckling again, the voices replied, "I am Hadjinn. Fomer Sssserpent God of a gone tribe in the Middle Easssst. I wasss born here in Japan, but shortly after a cccertain monk ssssucked my father up in a deviccce known as the Wind Tunnel, I fled in fear. As sssoon as the tribe who worshipped me all died off, I returned here asssured he was dead. As for your friendssss," Not wanting them to think there was any hope for escape, the serpent decided to try a little lie. "I'm afraid they are now being ssslowly digesssted inssside my sssstomach."
"What?" Kagome gasped. "No..."
"No!" Kaname flared. "You..you lie! If my brother was dead, I would have felt it! We're twins! We share that bond!"
"Perhapssss not." Hadjinn replied. "Sssseee. thossse navel piercccingssss are desssigned to sssuppressssss your powerssss."
Seeing them reaching to remove them Hadjinn chuckled, "Don't bother. My magic holdsss them in placcce. There'sss nothing you can do to remove them no ssssso long as I sssstill livvvve."
"So what do you have planned for us?" Kagome spat defiantly. "Keep us here forever as your personal slaves?"
Hissing with laughter, Hadjinn replied, "Oh, not forever my pretty onessss," Slowly moving his tail to grab Kagome and Kaname's waists, "Jusssst until you've properly aged to become perfect sssssacrificcesssss to my sssstomach..."
Kagome shuddered at this. Again, she had been kidnapped for the purpose of being eaten, and to become somebody's bride or slave, but she had never encountered a being that intended to do both these things with her!
But Kagome's thoughts were cut off as both Kaname and her felt Hadjinn's strong tail wrap around their waists lifting them to the ceiling where multiple snake heads were to be seen. Positiond Kagome and Kaname's heads to stare at multiple snake heads, the heads began invoking a snaked natural ability to hypnotize their prey.
Struggling to look away, Kagome shut her eyes trying not to look. Kaname however wasn't so lucky. She had made the mistake of not closing her eyes fast enough and was assaulted by the mulitple snake heads barraging her with hypnotic eyes. She couldn't look away. She didn't want to.
"Yessssss, that'sss it pretty one..." Hadjinn soothed. "Don't fight. Don't think. Jussssst ssssurrender...ssssurrender and sssssubmit..."
"S-s-s-sssssurender..." Kaname weakly repeated. "S-s-ssssubmit..."
"Yesssss..." Hadjinn continued. "Devote your life to pleassssuring me...give in to the endlesssss pleassssuressss of being my perssssonal sssslave..."
"Y-Y-Yessss..." Kaname again weakly repeated. "Devote life...pleasssure...pleassure y-y-you...endlessss pleassuresss...y-y-your p-p-persssonal...s-s-slave..."
Suddenly all thoughts vanished from Kaname Kururugi's mind. She had no idea or memory of who she was, or where she came from. All she knew was that she was home with her master, and all that mattered to her was pleasing him.
Knowing she was done, Hadjinn turned to see Kagome still closing her eyes as a tear fell down her eye knowing it was too late for her friend.
"Poor Kaname..." Kagome sobbed.
Relishing in both the sadness of losing her friends, and the sadness of one of her other friends being enslaved to him, Hadjinn decided to test out his new slave by using her to open Kagome's eyes.
"Dear me." He began. "It ssseemsss that your new sssisster won't open her eyessss and acccept her fate." Turning to Kaname, Hadjinn whispered into her ear. "Perhapssss you can convincccce her to join ussss?"
"Yes my Lord." Kaname nodded as she rose and walked over to Kagome. She grabbed her head and positioned her fingers around her eyelids forcing them open.
"Kaname!" Kagome cried in a desperate attempt to escape. "Listen to me! You have to snap out of it! You have to wake up."
But Kaname continued to carry out her master's order. Hadjinn chuckled at this and answered Kagome.
"Sssshe can't hear you." He pointed out. "From now on ssshe only hearsss me and my hypnotizzzzed sssslavesss. They are her family. They are her sissstersss. Which you will ssssoon become."
"No. No. No!" Kagome chanted as her eyes were forced open. By the time they were, they took in the beautiful sight of the hypnotism the heads all controlled.
Still trying to fight back, Kagome kept saying, "No! No! No. No...nooooo...n-n-noooo?"
But she was breaking. Hadjinn knew this. In time she wouldn't even know how to speak on her own, and that time was soon."
"N-n-noooo...n-n-y-y-yesssssss..." Kagome spoke. That "yes" was the last word she would ever speak on her own. Now her new master controlled her speech. In fact, her new master now controlled her entire life. And Kagome was happy with that.
Seeing Kagome had broken, Hadjinn released his grip on her and lowered the pair to the floor. Then some music began playing in the background as he rose to command he new playthings.
"Bow before your massster." Hadjinn commanded them. "Then risssse and dancccce for me until the ssssun goessss down."
"Of course Master." Kaname and Kagome spoke in unison as they fell to their knees and bowed to their new god. Holding that pose for a full minute, they rose as soon as Hadjinn clapped his hands and began stepping, shaking, and swaying to the music displaying their beautiful bodies for their master to admire in perverted delight.
Lost in pleasured delirium, Hadjinn almost forgot that InuYasha, Michiru, Shippo, and that monk that controlled the very weapon that killed his father was still alive.
"We'll have to prepare to move ssssoon. We're going back to my palacccce in the Middle Easssst." Hadjinn spoke out loud top his slaves. "Do you want to move away to the Middle Easssst with your massster?"
"Yes Master!" Kagome and Kaname smiled happily. "Wherever you go, we follow like good pleasure slaves."
Laughing in delight, Hadjinn replied, "Exxxxcccccelent! But for now, there isss plenty of time to enjoy your new livessss ssssserving me..."
Oh my! Poor Kaname and Kagome have been reduced to serving a perverted tyrant! Can InuYasha and the others save them? And what of Hadjinn's fear of Miroku? Even though Miroku can't use his Wind Tunnel, he seems to be their best bet at defeating Hadjinn if they ever find him.
But what about Sesshomaru? Will he find out about Kaname's predicament? If so, what will the repercussions be if and when Sesshomaru gets his Poison Claws on Hadjinn? Is Miroku the one Hadjinn should be truly worried about? Or Sesshomaru? Tune in next time.
Sorry for the long wait you guys, but I needed time to think. And to all you Miorku haters out there, I'm sorry. But for the fairness of the story, I had to do at least one thing that gives Miroku something that resembles a moment of glory for him.
