Last
Time
Sayuri was looking at the water, and Inuyasha then
opened his eyes and smiled at her, he stood up and stretched a bit.
He then stood up, and helped Sayuri up, and then took his red haori
top back, and placed it back on. Her scent of passionflowers and
freesia was wrapped his haori. He smiled a bit. Sayuri then walked
over to the entrance to the forest.
Soon two clawed hands
went around her mouth, and soon placed a cloth over her nose and she
inhaled sleeping fumes, soon falling into figure arms.
Inuyasha's nose then sniffed the air, and he scented a dark presence, but didn't smell Sayuri. Amber eyes widening slightly, he looked around. 'Sayuri?' He thought, then turned around to where he last scented her. "Sayuri," He growled not smelling her. He ran quickly to where the others where, and skidded to a halt in front of them. "Has anyone here seen Sayuri?" He asked.
Shippou, who was currently chasing Miyako for a game until Sayuri and Inuyasha had returned, stopped and looked at Inuyasha. "I haven't seen her." He said, standing up straight. "I thought she was still with you." He said.
Sango blinked, then placed a small bowl of rice she was eating down, and wiped off her mouth gently and stood up, picking up her boomerang, Hiraikotsu, and placed it behind her. "It would seem that as though Sayuri has gone from us by some reason of force I'm expecting Inuyasha. For all of us have not seen her either." Sango said. She was in her demon exterminator's outfit, then looked down at Miroku. "Miroku, let's aid Inuyasha to search for Sayuri." She said.
Miroku nodded, then stood up, and looked at Kilala and the two small children. "Kilala, will you take care of these two while we search?" He asked. Knowing that if Kilala were with them, they would be alot safer.
Kilala nodded, soon transforming into her larger demon form. Kneeling down, she felt a small body, and a bit bigger body gets onto her back. Kilala stood up then roared and flew off into the air; she would stay behind the group.
Inuyasha narrowed his eyes 'She was kidnapped? Why didn't that damned wench struggle or show where she was?' He thought, then nodded. "Let's go!" He growled, then began to run off, bursting at his full speed.
Miroku and Sango ran behind Inuyasha, coughing a bit at the small dust clouds he left them with. Miroku then looked up at the sky, then back to Inuyasha. 'So, does he really care about her?' He thought. Sango smiled a bit, 'I knew he cared about her.' She thought, and followed after Inuyasha.
Naraku's Castle
A groan came from a body lying on the side, cold and hard, what was this? Ice blue eyes opened a bit, and blurring a bit, then soon adjusting to the darkness, Sayuri tried to move her arms. Finding her wrists tightly bound; she went to move her legs, and found her ankles bound as well. Moving her right elbow, and propping herself up on it, looking around her eyes softened slightly, to get use to the darkness lighting. Moving her feet, she soon was sitting on her butt she sighed softly.
Reclining against the cold wall, she looked around. The room she was in was very damp feeling, that telling her right away it was underground. Looking upwards, than to each side, all she noted was that the walls were slightly mossy and moist looking. Closing her eyes a moment, she noticed the faint "drip" "drop" "drip" of water droplets falling from the ceiling to the floor.Soon, she remembered what happened. She was in the forest, going to get a bath in the hot springs, she then felt some person come behind her, and place the cloth over her nose. Her eyes narrowed, 'That freak!' She thought, then looked over to a small figure she saw, it was a door. She went to move her hands, but they were chained to the wall. She sighed in exasperation and looked down at the ground. "Where am I?" She asked herself softly.
"Why, here, in my castle" called out an eerily cold voice to her left. She hadn't even heard the wooden door creak open. Either this guy was very quiet, or he was some insane psychopath who could vanish and reappear at will. Snapping her head in his direction, she narrowed her eyes."Who are you?" She called out with a tone almost like a growl.
Before her stood what seemed like a man dressed in lord's clothing. But upon closer inspection, she saw that he wasn't a human or an insane psychopath, but a demon.
His
cobalt colored hair contrasted greatly against his navy blue clothes.
His crimson red eyes seemed to pierce straight through her soul. The
once dark room became suddenly engulfed in light as he opened the
door fully, causing her to turn her head away and try to block out
the bright rays.
Hearing him chuckles deeply, she blinked.
'How can he, an insane demon, be a lord?' She thought. Then heard
the man talk. "Why I, my dear, am Naraku." He said. Standing back
so to avoid any damage she might have caused him, he then put out his
hand, and grasped her chin roughly, making her look at him. "And
you will do anything I tell you to, or your friends will suffer
greatly." He whispered, malice dripping in his tone.
"I
will NEVER listen to you NARAKU!" She said, in a growling tone,
then spat on his face, disgusted with him. He held her chin roughly,
and then used his sleeve to wipe away the spit. The same evil smile
he had never leaving his lips.
"You will learn my ways and
listen to me." Naraku said, "You will." He said, then let go of
her chin, and soon disappeared into the darkened shadows.
Sayuri
narrowed her eyes as the light shined on her face, her head tilted
down slightly, and her eyes were shining in the light. 'You can
kill me if you want Naraku. I will die before I listen to you.' She
thought.
'You will be put through the roughest training of
your life Sayuri, and, you will obey me.' Naraku thought, looking
at his hands.
That Night, With Inuyasha and The
Others
Sango, Miroku, and the others had helped them set up
a camp. All except for Inuyasha, who had muttered about humans being
too weak and was currently sitting up in a tree, just looking out to
the sun.
Sango looked up at Inuyasha, then back at the small
fire they had started. 'Sayuri, in this short amount of time with
us, you have made Inuyasha worry about you, I worry, are you
alright?' She asked herself in though, then placed some more wood
into the fire and sighed a bit, then, began to pass some fish to the
others.
Miyako was sitting beside Shippou, wondering who
would have taken Sayuri. She knew that herself or Inuyasha since they
were hanyou's could have smelt whom taken her, but they didn't
smell anything but Inuyasha was following her scent, and Miyako knew
that. She took the fish, and soon ate it, after that, she snuggled
against Shippou, and fell into a light sleep. Miroku looked
at Sango, then smiled a bit, and then looked up at Inuyasha, then
back at the ground. 'He has been sitting there ever since we told
him we were making a camp.' He thought, then picked up a fish, and
began to eat, normally Inuyasha would have been waiting for the fish
to finish, but he didn't even seem to care.
Shippou looked
at Miyako, and smiled, wrapping his tail around her. He then ate a
fish, and soon finished, closing his eyes, he rested against a tree,
holding Miyako and soon falling asleep.
Kilala was already
resting, lying in Sango's lap, and she was snuggled to the demon
slayer. Who was now asleep? Sango's hand rested on Kilala's back
as she slept, snuggled up to Miroku.
Miroku held Sango, and
soon placed his head atop of hers, and fell into a light sleep, his
hands around Sango's waist.
Inuyasha
was staring up at the moon, worrying and thinking about Sayuri. He
sighed a bit and then closed his eyes, deep in thought. He was
worried over a human, he just hoped he was all right. He didn't
want to eat, because, Sayuri wasn't there to enjoy it with. He
really was missing her, but he just wanted to see her. He looked up
at the sky, seeing Sayuri's face on the moon he sighed. Then soon
closed his eyes, and fell into a light sleep.
Naraku's
Castle
Sayuri had been moved to her own room, and she sat
alone, and was worrying about the others. She hoped that Naraku would
not touch them, because if he did, even the god above would be sorry
for him. Sayuri had been changed, she was now wearing a white top
with no sleeves, plus baggy black pants, the same ones she had been
wearing early. She sighed softly, "Inuyasha, please protect the
others while I am gone." She whispered and soon closed her eyes,
falling into a light sleep.
Naraku watched her from Kanna's
mirror, and smirked a bit. He then looked out a window that sat
beside him. "So, she has one weakness." He muttered. 'That
weakness is her friends.' He thought, knowing that after the
intenseness training course he would soon put her through, she would
quickly want to be back with her friends.
Back At The
Camp
Inuyasha's nose twitched slightly, and his eyes
opened, it was still night. He then scented it, a small scent. It was
Sayuri's scent, very faint, and he inhaled, the scent flaring into
his nostrils, soon it disappeared but was still stuck in his nose.
'Sayuri.' He thought, and closed his eyes, resting against the
back of the tree. He did not smell any blood or injuries in the
scent, so he knew for now, that she was all right. He yawned softly
and went back to sleep. Little did he know that Sayuri was dreaming
of Inuyasha right there and then? A small smile soon rested on her
face. 'I finally know where I belong.' Sayuri thought, and
snuggled to the bed she was laying on, falling into a deeper sleep.
