"Arise, black vengeance, from thy hollow cell!"
~The tragedy of Othello~ Shakespeare
All's Fair in Love and War
Chapter 4: Prisoners
~Regenbogen Haven (Inuyasha's POV)~
I dizzily open my eyes to reveal a white ceiling. For a second I think that I am in my room at home, but I realize the room is much to small. I sit up, immediately regretting it. My shoulder feels as thought it is on fire, my arm is numb. Clenching my teeth I practice what I have learned in sword mastery. I breath deeply, pushing the pain back until it is not longer all I can concentrate on.
Looking around my cell I find it all white. A small cot is where I sit and there is also a stand with a wash bin on it. A small window high up on the wall lets in a stream of sun. It is clean, too clean. There is no character. It feels like it is: a prison.
I look at the door. It is made of heavy, hard wood. I burn to get up and make sure it is lock but I refrain. I doubt I can keep my dignity intact if I stand.
Suddenly I remember. Sango! I worry that she has been hurt. She is strong. Sometimes I think that she is stronger then me. After all that she has been through...
I hate my captures. That one girl-what is her name?-she seems to be the leader. So young...and so pretty...
What am I thinking? She is the enemy I was to fight. The traitor who kidnapped Sango and I.
I hate her! When I am free... I start to entertain thought of slitting her throat, of torturing her to death. Cutting her long black hair off and burning her at the stake like the witch she is.
I am smiling widely now. Nothing like planning revenge to get you into a good mood.
I start as the door opens outwards. In the door stands the girl and four soldiers. She enters the room and the soldiers close the door after her. In her hand is a tray of food.
She places the tray in front of me and opens a bag she had on her back. Busying herself with taking out smaller bags tied with strings.
Her old clothes of black tiding pants, tunic and cloak have been replaced with a black dress. It is out of style I think cruelly. Tight waist, long, wide sleeved and a large skirt. At least ten years out of fashion. She looks up from her chore. Smiling hesitantly she pushes the tray closer. I continue to stare, frowning at her.
"Eat! It will help you heal that shoulder." She says. My glare is working, she is nervous.
"Stop staring!" She yells at me. "Fine. if you don't want to eat." She take the tray from the bed and sets it on the floor. "I need to put a new poultice on you wound." She tells me starting to mix together many herbs. "Take off your tunic."
I hesitate. Wanting to continue to be difficult, but I need to get better so I can escape. I pull off my tunic to reveal a bloody bandage.
She slides closer and starts to undo the bandages. The pain returns with her touching my shoulder and I have to fight it back again.
"Where's my sister, wench?" I ask quietly to take my mind off my helplessness. She is so close and I can do nothing.
I feel her stiffen in anger. I smile to myself, it makes me feel powerful.
"My name is Kagome! Ka. Go. Me. Not wench! I won't tell you where your sister is unless you call me by my name."
My feelings of power rapidly deteriorate. 'Kagome' is still undoing my bandages seemingly calm now that she has told me her name. I normally wouldn't give in but I need to know about Sango. "Where is my sister, KAGOME?" I sat stressing her name. Making it seem worse then wench.
She smiled pretending not to notice. "Sango is in another NICER wing of the castle. She doesn't need the same security as you. I think she will not escape without you."
I curse, knowing she tells the truth. Sango could escape easily but she is too loyal to leave without me. I am thankful she is safe.
No one speaks anymore. Kagome finishes my shoulder and leaves the room. When the door shuts my stomach growls loudly. I lean down and pickup the tray. I am starving. I start to gobble down everything in sight.
~Regenbogen Haven (Sango's Pov)~
I wake reluctantly, my eyelids are heavy. I find myself lying on a large bed covered with warm blankets. The walls are painted light blue and huge windows let in streams of sunlight. This doesn't feel like a prison, more like a room at home. I get up from the bed and start to pace. I remember Inuyasha getting wounded and me starting breaking down but nothing after that. It's strange but somehow I know he's not dead. I always thought I'd know the second he is in trouble but here is nothing. Not quiet an emptiness...but nothing.
My door opens and the man who held me on his horse enters. He is dressed still in black with his hair tied into a ponytail. Seeing him I unstintingly get angry.
"Good morning, Sango." He says kindly. "I'm Miroku."
"Take your cheerfulness and go to hell!" I scream at him. He looks surprised. I am glad. I feel better.
"Now Sango! Don't be childish." He says making me even angrier.
I gather all my rage and launch myself at Miroku. I punch him in the stomach and he falls to the ground his breath knocked out of him. I run out of the room, there are no guards. My captures are very stupid. I am free! I have to go free Inuyasha and then we can get away together.
