Chapter 3: Scars for Life
Kagome was drenched when the demon finally reached wherever it was they were going. She continued endless prayers that Inu Yasha would come to her rescue, or her alarm clock would. When her captor had begun first to drag her, she fought to get free with all her strength, and now she was weak and exhausted. The rain had ceased and the sweet smell of the downfall was as strong as ever. Where she was, however, she had no idea. Definitely not near any civilization. The sun was at it's set and they had been walking for hours. All she could think of was if this was actually happening. How could it? First the man in the alley, and now Inu Yasha's brother? She tried to wake herself up .her mind was pulled to attention when her back was rammed into a tree. She sounded a small whimper.

"You're her? I can't believe my brother." He whispered in disgust as he put his hand to Kagome's throat. "This seems to easy."

Souta pulled and pulled at the furniture thrown in the well. He had moved out all the chairs, but there was still a sofa. His sweat mixed with tears, as he grabbed at the sofa. 'What if I never see my sister again? Oni-chan is the only one who can save her from the Mr. Evil guy, and I can't get to him.I can't." He started bawling, really crying his eyes out. His tear dropped onto the earth.he gave up hope.

Sesshoumaru held up two fingers with long deadly nails in front of the young girl's face. "My brother won't possibly want you when I'm finished with you. How could he even like a weakling like you?"

'What? Inu Yasha couldn't.' She screamed as blood trickled down from four deep gashes- two on each side- in her soft cheeks. Instinctively, her hand raised up towards the demon's face and made small scrapes. He put a hand to his face and looked at his bloodstained palm. He looked at Kagome, who was looking back with horror in her eyes at what she had just done. "Bitch!" He yelled as he slapped her across the teenager's already bleeding face. She screamed in agony as she felt the impact and his blood stinging as it mingled with hers. Tears streamed from her eyes. She cried from pain and from shock that this could be happening to her. She knew that the slashes on her face would be permanent scars. 'No one will want me now with my face scarred for life.' The demon smiled cruelly, for he planned it, and it would get worse. Not only would she physically be hurt, but much more.

Souta had been crying for what seemed like an eternity. The drops of his despairs continued, unending, to plunge onto the dust. Great sadness overwhelmed him, for he knew that on the other side of the ground where he lay, in defeat, was the only one who could save his sister. The sister that had taken care of him, the one who was always smiling in sunshine. He recalled all the wonderful memories that he had of his sibling, from vacations to simply walking to school. 'She's probably dead by now.' Souta regretted all the times he had ever been obnoxious or cruel to sister, when all he could remember was her kindness. He noticed a tiny puddle where he sat, proof of his sorrows, and had an idea, for it might help, and it wouldn't make it worse if it didn't. He climbed up the well and ran for the hose. He pulled and yanked the hose till he could put it in the well, then turned on the water, full blast. The well began to fill with water. *
Inu Yasha sat at the edge on the well, looking down into the darkness. He didn't want to even think of what was happening to Kagome, for surely his brother had found her by now, if not sooner. 'She's just on the other side.and there's not a damn thing I can do!!!' He climbed down and sat on the soft dirt at the bottom of the well. 'Right on the other side.' He was soon lost in thoughts and was pulled into that dimension the mind goes occasionally. The half-demon was surprised when he came back to earth to find his eyes warm and wet. He had one explanation for it. but it couldn't possibly be. 'Kagome, I think I.'
