Torture: Chapter 2
Princess Kagome
Naraku got off Kagura who was crying and breathing hard. "All I did was show you," said Naraku. "You- you didn't show me. You did it to me," Kagura said slowly.
Naraku scowled and grabbed her arm. He dragged her into the same that hosted Inuyasha and the gang. He threw her against the wall and chained her up. He then looked for something to vent his anger on. His eyes fell on Shippo who was trembling with fear. "Come here fox," said Naraku.
Shippo ran into a corner and when Naraku stepped towards him he ran behind Inuyasha. Naraku smiled. "Fine."
He unchained Inuyasha and said, "You will take his place?"
Inuyasha, knowing that Shippo could be killed, nodded. Naraku threw him against the wall and crumbs from the ceiling fell. Inuyasha hit the wall and fell to the ground. "Get up," said Naraku.
Inuyasha didn't move and Naraku pulled out whip with three tails. He whipped Inuyasha until the fire rat coat was impossible to distinguish from his back. He then chained Inuyasha up again and slammed the door shut.
Kagome, who woken up when Naraku came in Kagura, reached for her bag and bit her tongue when the chains tightened. She found an extra pair of clothing and tossed them to Kagura. She then looked at Inuyasha and pulled out a rag and two water bottles. She rolled the bottles and tossed the rag to Shippo and said, "Try to stop the bleeding, then clean him up."
She looked at her food and realized that she wasn't hungry any more and decided to save the rest for Sango and Miroku, when they woke up. She then looked around for something else to help with. Her eyes fell on Kirara. She was within reach of Kagura. "Kagura, heads up." She tossed a rag and a bottle of water. "Shippo if you have extra water give it to Kagura."
Kagome looked at her and said, "Clean up Kirara. The demon next to you. Try to stop the bleeding."
Kagura looked at her surprised but nodded and did what she could for Kirara. Kagome watched Shippo and Kagura wishing that she could help them or Sango and Miroku. She wanted to be able to see if they would make it or give Miroku the antidote for the Hell Insects.
She was thinking of them being okay and every body safe and Naraku dead when she fell asleep.
Three weeks later...
"Kagome, I'm hungry," said Shippo. "Is there any food left?"
"No Shippo. We ate the rest last night."
"Is there any in your bag?"
"Only ramen and we have to have water for that."
"Okay."
Kagome looked at Shippo. He was thinner than usual and looked like a skeleton. But when she compared him to the others he looked healthy. Sango and Miroku had awaken only a few days ago. Sango was so thin, she looked like was going to die from starvation. Miroku looked worse. The antidote for the insects had some side effects. He was never hungry even though he needed the food. His hair had grown as long as Sango's and the usual kindness seen in his eyes was gone. Each day the kazzana hurt more and more.
On the day that Sango awoke Kagome gave her as much as they could spare. The next day Miroku woke up and Kagome gave him food and the antidote. They acted okay but three weeks with food or water is too long and they all knew it.
Kagome tried to sleep but had a very hard time. By the time she had dosed off the others were waking up. They just sat there quietly and then the door opened and Naraku walked in. He started giving them all food and water but when he saw Inuyasha cleaned up and Kagura wearing Kagome's clothes he yelled, "Who did this!"
Kagome raised her hand and Naraku looked at her as if deciding a punishment. He unchained her and threw her at the wall that Sango and Miroku where closest to. The chains there automatically sprung to life and carried her up the wall, lifting her feet off the ground. He then passed out food as if nothing had happened.
When he reached Kagura he ripped her clothes and left her there crying.
