"Your territory? What are you talking about?" Inu Yasha questioned.
The man smiled, "I am Lao, I rule over this part of the mountain. And you have crossed over without permission."
Inu Yasha slowly got up, crouching low to the ground, "How come I've never heard of you before?"
"Because anyone I've captured never lives long enough to tell."
"We have nothing of value. Let us go, and we will never set foot on your land again."
Lao leaned back in his chair rubbing his hand over his face. "Oh but you do have something of value to me. It is not of gold or silver but of flesh and blood," his eyes slid over to Kagome who was still asleep.
"Never! You lay one hand on her and I swear I'll pull out your intestines while you're still alive you sick bastard, "Inu Yasha spoke calmly but his words had a very sharp edge.
Lao clapped his hands loudly, "In that case,"
The tent flap opened up; the tall man came in with a long rod of metal that was red hot at the end.
"Struggling only makes it worse," Lao said getting up. He took the rod in his hand and smiled revealing crooked yellowing teeth. The guard held down Inu Yasha and opened up his eye.
Inu Yasha struggled, but he was easily overpowered. The rod slowly made it's way to his eye; the heat caused his eyes to water and sting. Inu Yasha looked straight at the rod preparing for it to melt away his iris.
"Stop!" A voice suddenly blurted out. The three men looked over in shock to see Kagome crouching on the ground. Her hands and feat had been tied as well. "I'll do it, if you don't hurt him!"
"Kagome no!" Inu Yasha pleaded, but was silenced by a quick kick to the head.
"I'll agree to do it, only if you promise that you let us go after," Kagome spoke bravely but tears ran down her cheeks.
Lao nodded his head, "Very well, put her I my tent. I'll see to her later."
Inu Yasha shifted his legs together and knocked down the guard. He breathed loudly; he could feel his lungs getting weak. Before he could do anything else he was hit over the head with the rod and his world went black.
He opened up his eyes slowly; a boy sat in the chair now. He was no more then eleven or twelve. His eyes watched Inu Yasha with curiosity rather then hate.
"What's your name," the boy asked.
"Go away," Inu Yasha mumbled rolling over to face the wall of the tent.
"I can't do that, father told me to watch you while he dealt with your partner."
Inu Yasha turned over, "That awful man is your father?"
The boy looked down at the ground, "Well he isn't really my father, he found me when I was young. He isn't very nice at all. Sometimes he goes too far. Like with that girl, if I could, I would run away, but I would get tracked down in no time."
Inu Yasha signalled the boy to come closer; "Do you think you could help me?"
The boy looked down, he shuffled the dirt with his finger, he looked up suddenly, "What do you want me to do?"
Sorry it's so short but I've been so busy lately. As soon as I have more time I'll update sooner. And why I make chapters short is when I read on Fan fiction I like shorter chapters but more of them my eyes start to hurt when I look at a white screen too long.
