Ryuu opened her eyes and sat up. Her hands were bound by a thick rope
behind her back. She looked over at Sesshoumaru and scowled.
"What do you want with me?" Ryuu asked and looked into his eyes.
Sesshoumaru looked up from the fire at her. "Naraku promised me the
Tetsusaiga." He answered her and turned his peircing gaze back to the fire.
"I thought Inuyasha had it." Ryuu said this with a puzzled expression. Sesshoumaru scowled, "Inuyasha, my brother, left our time to go with his little human friend to her time after the Tetsusaiga broke for the third time. When they left, they had half of the Jewel of Four Souls. It was broken up and given to the preists in the eastern region. All of whom were killed by an unknown demon. Naraku said that demon is you." Ryuu smirked and looked down at her feet. "The only reason I got away from you were my shards. I broke them into fifths and put one part in each leg, arm, and the rest lay across my spine." Sesshoumaru looked at her and tossed her a small lump of bread. Ryuu caught it in her mouth and chewed furiously at it. The darkness outside soon turned lighter and Ryuu became her former half-demon self. She swallowed the last peice of bread and smiled. "How do you plan to use the Tetsusaiga anyways?" Ryuu looked at him once more. "A human arm of corse." Sesshoumaru answered with an annoyed tone. He walked over to Ryuu and grabbed her hair, dragging her to her feet. She growled and glared at him. Sesshoumaru pushed her infrount of him and kicked Jaken awake as they walked towards the mouth of the cave that they were in. Sesshoumaru grabbed her arm and walked next to her, guiding her through the woods and to a field. Across the field was Naraku's castle. It was dark and many times larger then Ryuu's home. She was surprised by how far Sesshoumaru had taken her over night. The large, orange, morning sun blinded Ryuu from the brightness. She looked at Sesshoumaru and saw her katana hanging on his hip. She turned and looked at the castle. Fear struck her. Waiting at the castle gates was a man with long black hair and deep red eyes. Around his neck hung half of the Jewel of Four Souls. He aprouched them as they got closer. She stopped and gazed at him. Sesshoumaru looked at her and then pulled her along. The man, Naraku, smiled as he saw Ryuu. Naraku took out two peices of a sword, the Tetsusaiga. Sesshoumaru grinned and took the peices, throwing Ryuu into Naraku's arms. Naraku's skin was cold and sent shivers down Ryuu's back. Sesshoumaru dropped Ryuu's katana and turned away. "She has wounds that need tending to, and her shards are in her legs, arms, and her spine." He started to walk away and Jaken trailed off behind him. Naraku picked up Ryuu's katana and dragged her to the castle. Ryuu strugled, her hands slipping out of the ropes. She grabbed her sword and flipped back. Naraku caught her foot and slammed her to the ground. He grabbed the hand where Sesshoumaru stabbed her and twisted it behind her back. She wrestled his grip but couldnt get away. They entered the castle walls, the gate shutting behind them. Naraku threw her to the ground and pinned her. He took a dagger from the pocket of his robe. He tore the sleeve of her robe up to her shoulder and sliced her arm open. Ryuu screamed as he picked the shards out of her arm with the dagger. He finished both her arms and caressed her neck with his blood soaked hands. He pushed her black skirt up to the top of her pale, thin theighs. He cut her legs open now. The pain in her arms stopped her from strugling this time. When Naraku was sure he got all the shards out of her legs he turned her over. He ripped open the back of her robe and her shirt and cut carefully along her back, he didn't want her to die just yet. He picked out the last of the shards with his hands and tucked them away along with the dagger. He picked up Ryuu and carried her limp, bleeding body into the castle.
