Chapter 2: The lashes continue
Kagome opened her eyes as when she felt her body hit the wall. Naraku stood, on the verge of pure rage, and screeched, "How dare you call me that dog's name?!" Kagome gasped and pressed herself against the wall; in her delirium she'd kissed Naraku. She gagged and spat on the floor wearily. Her back was aflame with tremendous pain, if not for her determination she'd be out cold on the floor.
Naraku regained his composure and gently reached over to tug her back to the wall. "You need to be comforted, little miko," he whispered seductively. She wrenched herself away and screamed, "And I'll get it, when Inuyasha comes for me!" Naraku chuckled, "He is not coming little wench, I am your master now."
Inuyasha was ruthless in pushing his body. They'd traveled hours without stop and his lungs were shrivelled and dead he was sure. "Kagome, wait for me!" he hollered. Sesshoumaru looked down slightly and shook his head in a small gesture of impatience. "Don't be an idiot," he stated. "You need that air to run." "Kagome," Inuyasha whispered and threw himself to it.
Naraku leaned over Kagome again and lifted her arm up. "Where, little bitch, did you get these scars from? Did your precious Inuyasha give them to you? Do you like pain?" He sucked the blood from her hand and licked his lips. "Delicious, even your blood is sweet, Kagome."
Kagome trembled with repugnance and fear now. Naraku sniffed the air, "I can smell it, little blossom, you are afraid. Lovely, this gets more interesting with time." He lifted Kagome up and chained her again. With a quick hand he spilled an instant healing salve on her open whip wounds. She hissed and clenched her teeth. The ragged wounds sealed instantly as the salve dried and Naraku grinned. "Shall we start afresh?" he declared fervently.
Kagura could hear the thud of Naraku's whip like tentacles as they smacked through the layers of Kagome's delicate skin. She heard the imperceptible drip of her blood as it coated the floor and splashed against the walls. A small tear dropped from her ruby red eyes and her hands shook in sympathy. She knew she had to help Kagome, but how? She smiled gleefully. Presto—idea.
Sesshoumaru could smell the distinct scent of Naraku, only it wasn't Naraku, it smelt also like the wind, freedom, and cherry blossoms: Kagura. She dropped in on him and called out, "Hurry! She's being tortured, she needs help now! Your brother's much too slow, use this." Kagura threw down another feather and it scooped Inuyasha up in a quick motion. Inuyasha jerked around blood red eyes glowing luminously; then Seeshoumaru dropped the tetsusaiga onto Inuyasha lap and Inuyasha clutched it to him.
"What's he doing to Kagome?" yelled a furious Inuyasha. "That bastard!" He sat impatiently, regain lost energy and shaking with renewed rage. He tucked his hands in his robes and waited. They'd be there faster than when he'd been running. He noticed with slight envy that his brother took off even faster than before. "Show off," he grumbled. Kagura signalled for the feather to go higher. "Inuyasha! I have to get back before Naraku notices I'm missing. Hurry the hell up and save her you dumbass!"
Kagome was panting with pain and she began to cry softly, her tears red as blood and dripping carelessly down her face. "Inuyasha!" she called forlornly. He couldn't hear her, but she hadn't lost hope yet. Naraku smiled a twisted smile and released her again. He pressed her naked body to him and she slapped him; hard. "Pig!" she spat with abhorrence. He dropped her again and sighed, "Kagome, I will have you. Don't try and escape it. You belong to me!"
Kagome's head swam with dizziness as the loss of blood began to take its toll. She was dying, she was suffering, she needed Inuyasha. Naraku grinned and turned her over. He leaned over her back and licked her blood away with obvious relish. "You're miko powers are even in your delectable blood, Kagome," he taunted.
She tried to punch him but missed and fell at his feet. "Much better, just like a good slave," he continued. She pushed herself up and looked directly at him. "Bastard!" she shouted. She sensed something, something similar to herself and smiled. She focused her powerful miko energy at Naraku and aimed carefully for his face; out of the corner of her eyes she saw Kikyo standing behind him aiming at his body, both would be blown to bits.
Okies, I'm done chapter 2, but chapter 3 will be a wild ride. What's going to happen? I don't know, but I have an idea. I hope you don't mind the disgusting detail, I like making my stories as real as possible; so I always put full description of the situation, or at least try to. Ciao guys, I'll submit chapter 3 asap.
