*this has happened after Inuyasha 'supposedly' killed juromaru*

*i do not own anything of inuyasha*

It was dark............ Juromaru and Kageromaru were alive, they had escaped Inuyasha's attack earlier in the day. Kageromaru lay inside of Juromaru's belly, and they were inside Naraku's palace, he was very, very unhappy. Juromaru walked slowly to him in the dark,old room where Naraku was standing.He did not fear Naraku, but he held his life, and if he failed Naraku's orders, lets just say it won't be pretty..

Naraku:Juromaru, you have disapointed me, Inuyasha is still alive, and you have no jewel shards to give me........."

Juromaru was silent, he could talk, but he did not like to speak.He was chained back up and brailed, and he was beaten. Juromaru had a mind of his own, he just obeyed kageromaru b/c that was his brother and companion. Again Naraku continued to speak, as Juromaru listened there was a chill in the air.

Naraku:this time you do not return to me untill you have a jewel shard. Then i will spare your life, both you and Kageromaru...........Though a punishment is in order"

*******************

Naraku had abandoned Juromaru in the woods, he was all beat up.His back was whipped and bleeding, soaking through his clothes. It was night, not too late out, it was dark and cold, the wind stroked his hair as he lay still on the ground.The only noises to be heard were teh crikets and the wind soaring accross the forest.He layed on his back, eyes trying to stay open, when he heard someone coming..........He jumped around, crouching, the scent belonged to a human..........a female human..........A young woman who had the eyes of Sango, and the hair of Kikyo, she was in a white flower-patterned kimono, very elegant, she was fecthing a pale of water and returning back to her village apparently. Juromaru glared at her, she had not seen him yet. She had orchids in her hair, one on each side.She had a bow and arrows on her back, for protection. It was then when she turned around in the cold dark creepy forest when she saw Juromaru, badly injured. Ayumi was her name, she had not known he was a demon, she felt sorry for him...... Out there in a cold night alone,To be chained up and severly beaten, she approched him w/ caution, he backed away. She wanted to help him, even though he was a total stranger.

Ayumi:do not fear me, I am here to help.........."

Juromaru got angry when she, a human,got near him and he swiped her hand away with his, backening away. She tried to come near again but he grabbed her neck and forced her body down to the ground. She struggled hard to breathe, but she could not.His nails were pressing in on her neck, she tried so scream in pain but nothing came out. As Juromaru tightened his grip on her neck, he saw her face, it was such a pretty face, her skin was soft and his grip loosened for some reason, when it did, he let go of her. Ayumi breathed heavy, getting back up to her feet, juromaru fell over from his beating and was unconsious.She took him to a village and in a hut, she had put on a fire and was making him meso soup, hoping he would wake up.
