Torture: Chapter 3

Princess Kagome

Kagome lifted her head as Naraku left and the chains moved threateningly but did not tighten. She did not look at any one in the face for she did not want to see their sympathy. She looked at Inuyasha. Why was he still unconscious? She fell into a restless slumber thinking just that.

"She can't last much longer hanging there," said a voice.

"Why the hell is she up the there," said another one. They sounded the same except that one was angry.

Kagome opened her eyes to see Inuyasha awake and talking to Sango and Miroku. Inuyasha looked at her and before he could open his mouth she asked, "Are you okay? You've been out for three weeks! I've been really worried!"

Kagome looked at Kagura and said, "Kagura, you never said what he did to you."

Kagura looked at her and said, "I do not know what you call it but he yanked my clothes off."

She told them and went into detail. After two minutes Inuyasha covered Shippo's ears to prevent him from hearing more than he needed to hear. When Kagura was done she said to Kagome, "He plans to do what he did to me to you and Sango."

Inuyasha growled and said, "I will not let him touch you guys, you hear!"
Kagome nodded but she knew that Kagura was right. Naraku would do that and Inuyasha would not be able to stop him. All of the sudden Kagome's heart was filled with hate and she wanted to kill Naraku. She started banging her fists on the wall.

The chains tightened but she didn't care she started yelling, "NARAKU! LEAVE ME ALONE!"
She continued yelling for a few minutes until Kagura heard his footsteps.

"Kagome! Stop yelling!" Kagura started yanking at the chains and managed to break them. "Kagome, he's coming!"

Kagome was immediately quiet as Naraku walked into the room. He looked from Kagura, who was in front of Kagome, to Kagome who had the air of guilt around her. "Who was screaming?"

She opened her mouth but the words wouldn't come out. Kagura walked towards her but instantly fell and screamed in pain. Kagome quickly tried to get to her but the chains tightened. "I asked who was yelling/screaming?"

Kagura, gasping for breath, said, "Me"

Naraku smiled. "I will when I'm done with her."
Kagome started to scream. The chains had turned red and Kagome was screaming in pain. Smoke was filling the room and Inuyasha soon realized that the chains were burning her.

Naraku stood there laughing at Kagome for ten minutes. "Let her go!" yelled Kagura, "Punish me in her place."
Naraku stared at Kagura for minute. Then the chains let go of Kagome and she dropped to the ground. Kagura looked at Kagome and saw burn marks were the chains had been. Around her wrists and ankles along with her neck.

Naraku walked over to her, grabbed her, and threw her near Inuyasha. Inuyasha tried to catch her but couldn't reach. She hit the ground and didn't move for a minute. Then she lifted her head and saw Inuyasha in front of her and she crawled towards him. He, gently, touched her hand and helped her over him. She leaned against him and he said, "I'm sorry. I never should have made you come back when we met. None of this would've happened. You could be in school right now if it weren't for me."

Kagome couldn't say anything even if she had wanted to. Instead she just gave him a look that said, "It's not your fault."
She then looked at Kagura and Naraku dreading whatever was going to happen next. Naraku pulled out his whip and a rope. He tied the rope around Kagura's neck and started yanking her around and whipping her at the same time. Each time he yanked the rope got tighter around her neck. Soon it was clear that Kagura was suffocating. Her face was turning slightly blue but Naraku paid no attention until she collapsed. Then he removed the rope and made her stand up.

"He's going to hit her in the only place he couldn't get," thought Kagome, "her chest."
Naraku raised the wipe and Kagome tried to run but Inuyasha held her back. The whip was coming down and Kagome yanked out of Inuyasha's reach and jumped in front of Kagura and getting three deep cuts across her heart.
"Kagome!" shouted Inuyasha pulling at the chains but to success. Kagome landed on the ground and got up slowly.

Inuyasha almost passed out from the smell of blood. All three cuts where bleeding very badly but Kagome pretended not to notice, she was looking at Naraku. He roared with anger and grabbed her by the arm. He started walking and she fell so he started dragging her roughly across the floor and they left the room.
He dragged her down a hallway and threw her into a dark, quiet room. He tossed her a bag and left locking the door. Kagome opened the bag and found food. She tossed it aside and went to a corner and fell asleep.
