Chapter 21
Hey all! Like I said in me Bio, I'm in the process of moving. Going out of state! Gods, what a hassle! So, updates may be few and far between for a while. And they're going to be short! Suffer! Besides, you're lucky that you're getting an update THIS quick! It's all pack this, hold that. Get out all the clothes you want till we get our stuff...blah! Fell Grateful and no flames! ::Glares:: And on to the Thank You's! Yippee!
Thank You:
Bomhammer: I would make my chapters longer if, 1.) I had time, 2.) I had a muse not on vacation, 3.) If I got more reviews! =P
Bob no Saru: You'll just have to wait and see! Hee hee hee! =P
Bartor530: Squirrels with flame-throwers? I want one!!!
Disclaimer: Do I have to? Darn! I don't own the rights to ANY anime! Now go away and leave me to sulk!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
At first I just stood there. I had never dealt with getting a torture victim down when he had THIS much damage. Then again, the only time I had ever come close to a torture victim, was when they needed healing. After a few seconds of thinking, I gently pried open the silver manacles, and as Dad slumped to the ground, I caught him before his feet could touch the floor. I laid him out as gently as I possible could and I winced when his poor feet even lightly touched the cold hard stone floor. I called up a small portion of my miko powers to try and heal his feet at least partially. (A/N: I'm not sure if this was mentioned earlier, but since Alex has all of Kagome's powers, she should be able to heal, since I heard that Kagome could do that too.....if not, oh well. Suffer. This is my story! =P ) But most of my healing comes from the herbs that I find around my shrine, so I could only do so much. Maybe Grandma Kagome could do something more for him.
He started to wake up as I was dribbling some water down his throat. He coughed and moaned slightly. He blinked tired reddish brown eyes at me. But it seemed as if he didn't recognize me at first. Then his eyes widened in shock. It looked like he was going to try and talk, but I put my hand over his mouth to prevent him. We sat in virtual silence for a few seconds before I heard a sound. It was the sound of cloth being dragged along the floor. I froze, thinking that it might be Naraku, or something equally bad news, but when I finally turned my head around I grimaced. It was much worse than Naraku. Much much worse.
It was a severely injured, blue school uniform wearing, red haired idiot. What in the seven hells did I do to deserve this? He had an insane look on his face (A/N: Like the one where he's thinking about Yukina. Bleah!) I gave him a look of pure disgust, and thankfully he fell down and knocked himself out. My luck was looking back up! And even more so when Kurama raced back into the room with Sesshomaru, my mother, and my grandmother. When mom saw how badly dad was doing she practically shoved me across the room. Sesshomaru, when he saw the damage that dad had sustained, turned ever so slightly greenish. Kurama, being the nice guy that he is, was checking on the idiot passed out on the floor. My grandmother was on the opposite side of my mother. I knew from the glow that she was trying to heal him. If anyone could do that, she could. When Kurama left the idiot, I went over and asked him where my grandpa was. "He said that he was going to go find Yusuke and Hiei as well as Miroku and Sango." I nodded my head. Get the help her now, find all non-essential personnel later. Very non-pig headed of grandpa. We stood against the wall while grandma worked on my Dad. I could see already that her power was taking effect. New skin was covering his feet and lower legs. And his hands were healed enough that mom was holding on to one of them lightly.
After about a half-hour, everyone was gathered inside the room, and dad was almost healed as much as possible. When Grandma had finished healing dad, both mom and I hugged him almost to death. Then mom proceeded to scold him for being so careless and so mopey after her death. And for drinking so much. I had to grin. It was almost like old times. Except we were in a dungeon, possibly surrounded by evil people bent on destroying us, and somewhere close was an uber bad guy who already admitted that he was trying to destroy us. Fun fun. While dad was talking to mom and grandma, the rest of us turned to the really stupid person in the room. "It's got to be a demon!" Aunt Sango hissed. "It's too ugly to be anything else!" The rest of us grinned. "Sorry Aunt Sango. He's human. A stupid ugly weak human though." "But how did he get here?" Hiei asked to no one in particular. I thought about it for a second.
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^ Flashback ^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^
As the tendrils from the gate in Uncle Sesshomaru's basement grabbed us all and pulled us all into the gate itself, I noticed that we thankfully were short one person. One Kuwabara. I remembered that it had grabbed his as well, but then threw him against a wall, almost as if just touching him was pure disgust for the gate.
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^ End Flashback ^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^
And to my knowledge he was supposed to still be there. But apparently I was wrong about that. And now I was bound and determined to get some answers. So, I pulled a grandpa. I went over to the unconscious idiot and started kicking him in the ribs. The only reaction from anyone in the room was Kurama raising an eyebrow. I raised my own in response. I smirked as he broke into a small grin. Score one for Alex!
It took us about 10 minutes of rib kicking to wake the dim wit up. And unfortunately, he sat up facing me and started breathing on me. He needed a breath mint in a bad way! And wouldn't you know it? The first words out of his mouth were "Huh? Where am I?" I rolled my eyes and walked over to stand next to Kurama. Away from the idiot and his horrid breath. I had the fun of kicking him to a waking state, and now someone else gets to interrogate him.

Go away! You got an update far sooner than I thought possible! Be happy and Review! Maybe I'll forgo sleep and write a bit more! If not, then feel free to wonder what the next chapter will be like! ::Glares:: THREE REVIEWS! That's all I want! THREE! If I get more, then I'll update faster! Any who...I swore that I would finish this story. I keep promises. I just never put a time frame on the last chapter, or how well it will be done. That all depends on you! The dear reviewers! SO get busy!
