The Whipping Girl
Chapter 2: Trying for Sanctuary
~~~~*INUYASHA'S P.O.V. 30 minutes after he leaves Kagome and the others*~~~~
I walk thru the halls of Kikyo's royal palace, a determined look painted on my face. The girl back in the shack, Kagome, had lost so much blood. Just how many times has this happened? While I bandaged her wounds and cleaned them, I found at least twenty scars. The rest of them were so intertwined that I couldn't tell how many there really were. Why is Kagome in this position, anyway? It's not like she'd do this voluntarily, right?
I hope I can get her outta this place. Maybe I can get Shippo and Souta away from here too. I have a feeling that as long as I can find a way for them to see her, they won't give a damn if I don't. I hope I didn't get their hopes up TO much..after two years in a relationship with Kikyo, I know she's one stubborn bitch.
I look around. I'm almost at her chambers. I wonder, after these years of being with her, how could I not have known about her Whipping Girl? How?
I'm at Kikyo's door. I suck in a breath of air and nock on the door. I hear nothing so I nock again. Know I hear rustling.
"Who is it?," snaps a voice. Kikyo. "I asked not to be disturbed!"
"It's me," I say, "Inuyasha"
The door flies open.
"INUYASHA!!" She hugs me. "Come in!"
I follow her into her rooms and have a seat on the Roman style sofa. She sits next to me.
"What is it, Inu-chan?"
"My old slave died. I inflicted to many wound on him." It isn't a total lie. He did bleed to death, but a horse trampled him. "I need a new, durable one. Fairly young one, about sixteen. I want a girl this time. My older servant couldn't cook or clean."
She seemed to think for a moment. "Well...the only one we have is Kagome, and she already has a job. An important one, too."
The tone of voice she is using clearly states 'NO. You CANNOT have her'. I sigh. Time to bring out the heavy artillery: the Puppy Eyes (TM). I absolutely HATE doing this face but hell, it works.
I make my eyes big and teary as I speak, "Pleeease, Kikyo! I really need a new servant and there are no suitable people in my domain! You always get all of the strong servants that can withstand beatings!" My Puppy Eyes are now at full force. I see her face and resolve waver. I stick my bottom lip out. "Pleeeeease?? It'd mean so much to me!!"
Kikyo looks back and forth from her lap to my face. She looks at my face one last time and blurts out, "Fine!! You can have her. You get her tomorrow, OK???"
Right now I'm having a little party in my head, where I'm surrounded my mini-mes and were all doing a happy dance and jumping up and down. Oh yeah, I rock. Go me!
I pull Kikyo into a hug and say, "Thanks Kikyo, I really needed a new servant!!" She awkwardly pats my back. "I'll pick her up tomorrow!!"
I let the princess out of the hug and quickly trot out of the room. Don't worry Kagome; you'll be safe soon.
~~~~*KIKYO*~~~~
What the hell just happened? I just gave Kagome to Inuyasha, didn't I? How the hell'd that happen?! OK, time to replay.
Inuyasha walks in. Inuyasha tells me his old servant bleed to death. I grin on the inside. He tells me he needs a strong female slave. I tell him I have only Kagome in a voice that says 'You can't have her'. He turns his Puppy Ey-hold on a second. Puppy Eyes? Oh, that's what happened. Damn. Well, I still have one day left with my little Whipping Girl.
I leave my room and walk down the halls. One day left of fun. Inuyasha most likely will not like a beaten slave, but he won't mind too much.
I am almost at the tiny shack where Kagome lives and is beaten. I have always wondered if Kagome could live thru the blood loss of two whipping sessions. Well, time to find out! I find myself at the shack and let myself in. The Whipping Girl is on the little straw mattress in the corner of the hut, asleep. I shake her awake. She groans and twitches slightly, but she does not awaken. On the floor next to the bed is a bowl of water, I pick it up and dump the contents all over Kagome.
She sputters and is now awake. Her eyes wander a bit and focus on me, still a bit glazed over from blood loss. She stutters out, "P-princess Kikyo! W-what is it?"
I pull her out of her bed by her hair. She cries out in pain and I grin. I tie her hands to the whipping pole in the center of the room and look around the room. I see a bench, filled with about five different kinds of whips. I choose the Bullwhip.
Kagome looks startled and fearful as she asks, "What's going on? What did you-I mean I do wrong? Where's Naraku......he usually whips me."
I do not answer her as I walk over; whip in hand. I uncoil the length of leather whip and bring it down on her back. She cries out as I continue. Her back start dripping blood after the fifth lash, the whip covered with a light coating of blood. Another five lashes and the blood comes at a quicker pace. She yelps in pained and I grin a sadistic grin. After another twenty seconds of the whip hitting her skin, her back becomes a gory mess, and the whip flings blood every time I flick it back so I can lash her again. She yells for me to stop, her voice chocked. I chuckle. This is such good entertainment.
The scarlet liquid drips down her arms and chest onto the floor. Her back is a lump of flesh that looks like it was pulverized with a meat grinder, not a whip. Silent tears drip down her face, which is etched with pain. Her arms jerk every time the bullwhip starts to come down, as if trying to block the blows. Oh, this is such fun!
I start laughing, my sounds of merriment mixing with her sobs of pain as the whipping session goes on into the night.
AN: There we go! If you thought that there'd be no disturbing scenes in this chapter after Inu's chat with Kikyo, you were so wrong! Hope it was evil enough! I also hope to have a new chapter of Cutting Game out by next week. Ah Winter Break, such a help to my writing time!
