Word to my readers, I love you!
Lavender Valentine - I am a great update type of person aren't I?
Inuyasha Show Fanatic - Anne Frank eh? I'm amazed that one diary made her completely popular
Daaku Tennotsukai - Aww, thanks for caring. Yes even though it's my Spring Break, I'm taking advantage of every chance I get to sleep. My parents yell at me if I'm still sleeping around 11am in the morning so I have to be careful. Naraku has only two appearances, this chapter and the next. Shippo has a cameo near the end and there's more Sango and Miroku in this chap as well.
RyuuNeko - You're dad's making you read? I have parents like that who make me read a certain book time to time. Indeed I think this is one of the weirdest situations I have put the Inuyasha cast in. If I wanted to be accurate I would've made them all Japanese citizens during WWII but I got this idea from reading the Maus books. They're graphic novels that portrayed mice as Jews, cats as Germans, and etc. This is how I got the human-Jew, demon-German idea but it's only working for like 90% of the cast, get it?
Evil-Hans - I got my research for this fic from one timeline page. I should've done more research on the Sonderkommando. In truth, there were no Sonderkommando women. However there were four women on the outside who help the men get weapons but all four were caught and killed. I don't think any female lasted two years or more in concentration unless they were lucky. Thanks to Inuyasha, Kagome is lucky to still be alive thus far.
Chapter Nine
Auschwitz, October 7, 1944
Kagome chose not to join Hojo and the other Sonderkommandos. She was in no way a fighter, especially now that her weight remained a steady 92 pounds. Lately however, exterminations were slow and rumor was going around that all of the prisoners working in the gas chambers were to be eliminated to save pace.
Now she was face with a hard decision...to let death happen or to fight back.
Kagome didn't need to think about it today. Something had already happened.
While storing clothing in the back room, Kagome heard an explosion. Immediately, the room shook and boxes began to collapse on her. Chaos was reigning outside.
"Those idiots," thought Inuyasha. He hid behind a crematory oven as he watch Hojo and some other prisoner began to fire guns. Where they got them, he would never know.
"Hey Inuyasha," said Hojo. "Are you with us?"
"What do you think?!" Inuyasha yelled at him.
"Okay, okay. Look you and Kagome should get outta here. We're going to bomb all the gas chambers."
Kagome was trapped on the floor unable to reach the door. Bombing and shooting still continued on the other side. The SS troops began fighting back but the burners exploded and fire began to take over. Smoke seeped through the door and Kagome knew she was in trouble.
"HELP!" she screamed.
It was no use though. She was coughing up real bad unable to reach fresh air and a part of her wanted to sleep.
Inuyasha swore he heard Kagome yell for help. Through the smoke and fire he searched for every possible part of the gas chambers she would be working. He didn't reach the room until the end.
Now Kagome laid unconscious on Inuyasha's back as they made it outside. He looked around and found the Crematory IV had been completely destroyed. The working Jews were now running away and the SS opened fire. Luckily the Germans found it hard to concentrate with all that had happened.
Quickly Inuyasha carried Kagome to the back room of the empty infirmary and got her a glass of water. "Inuyasha," she said finally conscious. "They'll think we were involved too."
"I know," said Inuyasha. "Stay here and pretend to be working. I'm going to go erase our names from gas chamber duty, okay."
Inuyasha hurried off. Kagome could see the fire from the gas chambers. She got up and pretended to make beds.
He walked past the troops by the destroyed gas chambers. The Sonderkommando including Hojo were pushed to the ground by the SS troops and were shot to death one by one.
Late that night, Kagome returned to her barracks. Inuyasha had not been able to find her a new job with the gas chambers destroyed. She would have to be put on physical labor like everyone else. She would have to work to her death.
But no longer would anyone had to fear the gas chambers. A few weeks after the revolt all the gas chambers in Auschwitz were shut down. A month later the other crematories were blown up by SS troops.
There wasn't much for the Jews in Auschwitz to do as winter came. Most of their jobs consisted of construction and there was nothing for them to build. There were rumors of Nazis sneaking bombs inside of barracks or shooting sleeping prisoners late at night. Still the chances of dying were high from typhus, starvation, the freezing temperature of winter and just about any contagious disease.
While among the Nazi guards Inuyasha could sense their fear and concern. They talked greatly of the approaching Soviets. It seemed that nothing could be done to keep them out of Poland. They would soon find their way here.
Warsaw, December 25, 1944
Christmas kept the Germans' spirits up still they talked about their devilish Allie opposition.
Sesshomaru was at a bar with some German women. "I got some mistletoe hanging over my bed in my hotel room," said a German woman. "Why don't you come up?" Sesshomaru was too drunk to do anything.
"Sesshomaru, are you still on paid vacation?" said Naraku. "It's cause of lazy Jews like you that the Soviets are at our doorstep." Sesshomaru punched Naraku in the face. "Take it easy. I say 'Jew' as an insult," said Naraku. Sesshomaru felt very sick and drunk. "Jakken, I'm ill. Let's go."
Jakken drove Sesshomaru home and he dumped his face in water. He felt much better now that the holiday craziness was taken out of him. He chuckled when he saw Naraku in the living room. "I was saying that they're going to be calling us up soon. After you failed to show up during that Auschwitz revolt, I'm surprised you're still a command-"
CRASH! Naraku jerked his head up towards the ceiling. "What the hell was that?" asked Naraku.
"Ugh…just Jakken being clumsy upstairs," said Sesshomaru. He felt the sweat pour out of him when Jakken came not from the stairs but from the kitchen. "Would you like some coffee while I'm in here, commander?" Sesshomaru went and pushed him back into the kitchen. "Moron!" He meant to whisper it to Jakken but he yelled it.
Sesshomaru turned around and Naraku was smiling suspiciously. "If that's not Jakken, then you have a giant rat living in your attic. Why don't I exterminate it for you?" Naraku pulled out his gun smoothly. "Naraku, get out of my house," Sesshomaru growled.
"Yes Commander," Naraku said smoothly. "There are better places to be tonight than here." Naraku walked out of the house and went across the street. He smiled when he saw what he was waiting for, a light appeared seeping through the third floor of Sesshomaru's house.
On the other side of town, Sango left some half eaten Christmas cake on her tray when Miroku came into her hidden room.
"I'm sorry I haven't been coming around for a while," said Miroku. "They're getting very suspicious. Even in church its crucial to keep a low profile of you."
"I understand," said Sango. "I'm almost done reading this Bible. It's the only reading material in here."
"Sango, I'm going to leave when this war is over. I usually spend a great deal traveling and I have a boat in Ustka. Maybe you would like to come traveling with me."
"And where would we go?" asked Sango. "It doesn't matter, maybe someplace far from here."
"I would like that," said Sango. A part suddenly leaned onto Miroku's shoulder.
Warsaw again, January 17, 1945
Sango was fortunate to have saved some leftovers from her only meal yesterday. She woke up to the worst sound of planes. As she sat on her bed to eat, the plane noises got louder with no end in sight. She waited for hours and hours for the noises to end. Now Sango was getting worried.
Finally Miroku came rushing down to the basement. "What's going on," asked Sango.
"They're here. We have to go now!" Miroku grabbed Sango out of the basement and they began rushing upstairs. The plane noises were now deafening music to her ears.
But 'who' exactly was here?
Next Chapter: Warsaw invasion; someone finds out about Sesshomaru and it's blackmail afoot!
Sorry if I'm rushing but you get the idea. The Jews are either in hiding or are dying with every passing day, I'm just focusing on the big stuff cuz I'm not good with detail material. R/R
