Chapter 1
This idea is from someone named ASH on adult fiction. I don't think I can do this well enough, or be descriptive enough I should say, to put it up on adult fic. I also don't own Inu-Yasha, or any of the characters. They all belong to Rumiko Takahashi. I just wanted to let people know so don't SUE ME!! If you're light of heart, and don't wanna see Inu-Yasha or Kagome hurt badly, then this isn't for you. Oh, and my friend is helping me by feeding ideas down my throat and into my mind... so I wanted to mention her here...THANK YOU SOOO MUCH Bad Luck Novelist!!! Kami... anyway... I'm sure if you are still with me you wanted to read a fic about Kagome and Inu-Yasha getting locked up in a cell. Well, here you go.....
Kagome stood next to her bike, Inu-Yasha just behind her. Miroku and Sango looked at her with smiles on their faces. "Kagome!" Shippo said as he jumped into her arms. Kagome laughed and gave the young youkai a hug. "When will you guys be back?" Kagome searched the kit's eyes.
"I don't know Shippo." She glanced at Inu-Yasha. "I promise it won't be to long though!" She gave the kit another quick squeeze and then let him jump to the ground. "Well," the young woman looked at the two friends standing in front of her. "We had better be going. Have fun you guys!"
"Humph." Inu-Yasha snorted. Kagome stopped her waving and turned to glare at the hanyou behind her.
"What's your problem?" Her eyes were hard. Inu-Yasha shook his head.
"Nothing, I just smell something rotten." Came his gruff answer. Kagome raised an eyebrow at him.
"Really. Like what?" Kagome watched for a reaction to her words. All she got was a shrug and Inu-Yasha turning to leave the area.
"Come on, the shorter this is the better."
"Why?" Kagome asked running to catch up with the hanyou. Inu-Yasha looked over at her as she slowed to a walk.
"Why are you bringing that contraption?" Inu-Yasha said completely ignoring Kagome's question. Kagome rolled her eyes.
"It's called a bike for the hundredth time, and I brought it so I could come close to keeping up with you." Kagome glanced at the bike crunching grass loudly under its wheels as they turned. Inu-Yasha looked away and snorted lightly.
"Whatever. Why don't you just ditch it and ride with me if need be." He really didn't care if she rode with him, but he wasn't going to let her know that. Kagome frowned and though about it.
"Alright." She said with a slight shrug. The hanyou stopped and waited as Kagome rested her bike against the closest tree. She smiled at him as she came back to his side. "I'll have to remember to get that when we come back." Inu-Yasha nodded slightly as they began to walk again.
Inu-Yasha glanced at Kagome again. Kagome rolled her eyes and sighed. "What are you looking at?" He had been doing that for the last hour now.
"Hu?" Inu-Yasha blinked in surprise.
"You keep looking funny at me. Do you wanna say something or what?" Kagome continued to stare at Inu-Yasha even after he had turned his head to look at where he was going again. "Inu-Yasha?"
"Why are we doing this again?" Inu-Yasha looked back at Kagome.
"Why? I just thought that everyone else could use the vacation." Kagome shrugged. That hadn't been the only reason... she wanted some alone time with her favorite hanyou.
"Vacation?" Inu-Yasha looked confused, but didn't voice the question pressing against his lips. Kagome rolled her eyes.
"Just a break." Kagome sighed and shook her head slightly. "Never mind." She could tell by the look still lingering in Inu-Yasha's eyes that he didn't understand very well. He continued to watch her as they walked on silently.
"Hey, Inu-Yasha, are you up for a run?" Kagome stopped suddenly as she spoke. Inu-Yasha stopped next to her as he looked around hurriedly.
"Why?"
"The aurora from a piece of the jewel is defiantly coming from that way." Kagome pointed in front of her as she finished her sentence. Inu-Yasha turned to look that way.
"Get on." He turned his back to the girl and she followed the order swiftly. "Hold on tight." Inu-Yasha muttered over his shoulder as he jumped forward, and then ran off into the trees.
"There," Kagome pointed to the tree almost straight in front of them about 2 minutes later. Inu-Yasha skidded slightly to a stop and looked up at the dark tree in front of him. The branches were high, unnaturally high.
"Are you sure Kagome?" Inu-Yasha pressed. The young woman nodded as she slid off of Inu-Yasha's strong back.
"Yes, it's up that..." Kagome's eyes fluttered as her words stopped and her breath hissed out of her partly open lips. Inu-Yasha whirled around at her abrupt stop of words.
"Kagome?!" He caught her as she fell forward into his arms. "Damn it," he breathed as he saw something sticking slightly out of the girl in his arms' neck. A laugh echoed from the top of the tree that had been in front of the pair.
"I never miss." The voice was female. Inu-Yasha growled as he turned to look up toward the direction the voice was coming from.
"Who are you?" He growled as a young woman came into view on a limb of the tree. She smiled at the hanyou.
"Does it matter?" She stepped off of the branch and floated lightly to the ground. Inu-Yasha watched her every movement, a look of hatred strongly visible in his eyes. The woman sighed slightly as her feet touched the ground. "Well, I can tell it matters to you hanyou. My name is Ashura." The woman reached her arms across her body and took hold of two handles resting across her back. "And I have come to get those shards of the Sacred Jewel from you."
Inu-Yasha watched as the woman slid two glistening metal swords out of their sheaves on her back. She grinned in anticipation as she spun both of them in her hands. "Are you going to hand them over?" Ashura caught the handles of her swords so that they were upright and facing Inu-Yasha and Kagome again.
"Inu-Yasha snorted. "As if." He snarled. Ashura raised her eyebrows at his reply.
"Hu, I guess that means I'll have to take them from you." Ashura grinned evilly and walked toward the two in front of her. "She has them right?" Ashura nodded toward the unconscious Kagome slumped into Inu-Yasha's arms. He turned his body so he was between Ashura and Kagome.
"You'll have to get through me to get to Kagome." Inu-Yasha's voice was not much more than a growl. Ashura shrugged.
"If that's what you want." The woman's hand shot out, making the point of the sword she held in her right hand prick Inu-Yasha's throat slightly. A single drop of light red blood slid from the prick.
Inu-Yasha didn't move. "You don't scare me girl." He growled. Ashura locked eyes with the hanyou as she slowly brought her other sword to the right side of Inu-Yasha's neck.
"But you are worried about this girl." Ashura moved the sword in her left hand to the small amount of Kagome's black hair showing around Inu-Yasha's side. Inu-Yasha snapped his head slightly to the side; more blood began to flow down his neck as the sword at his throat cut deeper. He stopped moving, glaring hard at Ashura.
"Leave Kagome out of this." He snarled dangerously. Ashura's eyes danced as she slowly lowered her left sword.
"But hanyou, she is the one with the Jewel." Ashura grinned at Inu-Yasha's face as it paled slightly and then hardened.
"I'll only say it once more, leave Kagome out of this." He bared his teeth at the woman in front of him. She clicked her tongue.
"One thrust, that's all I would need." She pressed the still cold metal of her sword to Inu-Yasha's throat again. "Then who would protect the poor little human?" She tilted her head slightly in question. Inu-Yasha didn't answer.
"I'll make you a deal hanyou," Ashura slowly put the sword she had held in her left hand back into the sheath on her back where it had come from. "You put the girl down and we fight. You win, you may do as you wish with me; if I win, I get the Jewel."
Inu-Yasha didn't respond right away. "You'll leave Kagome alone?" He pressed. Ashura rolled her eyes but nodded.
"Of course."
Inu-Yasha glanced at Kagome once more before turning his attention back to Ashura. "Fine, but if anything happens to Kagome..." Inu-Yasha growled to show his point. Ashura pushed the sword tip up to Inu-Yasha's throat again.
"I said she will stay out of it." She lowered the sword slightly. "Now put her down before it gets bloody around here." Inu-Yasha glared at Ashura again, but stepped backward, away from her sword. He never lost eye contact as he slowly lowered Kagome's motionless body to the ground
Ashura put her other sword away, sheathing it like the first. As she pulled her hand back, she slid a small piece of paper out of her hair and placed it in between her fingertips. Inu-Yasha got to his feet and stepped forward once.
"Ready?" Ashura asked with a grin. Inu-Yasha didn't respond. "GO!" Inu-Yasha didn't even get a chance to move before the paper shot out of Ashura's hands. It brushed against Inu-Yasha's open neck, causing the powder on it to spread through his body.
"What...?" The hanyou's body froze. "What the Hell'd you do to me?!" Inu-Yasha fought against the drowsiness that had suddenly began to fall over him. His eyes began to close. 'Damn it...' Ashura laughed as the hanyou's eyes fell shut heavily and he crumpled to the ground.
"I win." She smiled wickedly. Ashura walked to the fallen hanyou, and crouched down in front of him. She lifted his face to her own. "I told you I never miss hanyou." Her fingers traced lightly down Inu-Yasha's cheek. "My you are a pretty on though..." She smiled again as she sighed. "To bad it won't stay like that for long."
Ashura dropped Inu-Yasha's head back to the ground and stood up, slapping her hand together to get the "dirt" off of them. "Now to move you..." She looked at Kagome still lying just behind Inu-Yasha before grinning once again.
Kagome moaned lightly and moved her head from side to side. Her head was heavy, and she felt like she had been sleeping for days. "Where am I?" She muttered as she lifted her head slowly and opened her eyes.
She found herself in a dark cell like room. There was a small window, metal bars running up and down, baring the small hole off. The ground was hard, nothing more than dirt, and there was something hanging off the wall just in front of Kagome.
"Inu-Yasha!" She tried to yell, but her throat was dry, making her voice horse. The young woman stumbled to her feet and limped over to Inu-Yasha's motionless body hanging from the ceiling.
"Can you hear me Inu-Yasha? Open your eyes!" Kagome almost collapsed against the hanyou as she put her hands on his shoulders. She shook him as hard as she could. "Inu-Yasha!" The hanyou's lips parted and his eyes slowly opened.
"Kagome... are you... alright?" Inu-Yasha's voice was slurred, his golden eyes still clouded over. Kagome nodded as she moved her hands to Inu-Yasha's cheeks.
"I'm fine Inu-Yasha. What happened? Inu-Yasha look at me!" Kagome didn't know why she was so worried; she knew Inu-Yasha would be fine. He was a hanyou, part demon, and so could not be hurt to badly by being knocked out.
"Kagome..." Inu-Yasha's eyes began to clear and he turned them up to her. "Where are we? Where did that woman go?" His eyes were back to normal, anger flashing in them once again. "And what am I doing hanging like this?!" Inu-Yasha looked up at his hands tied over his head.
"I really don't know Inu-Yasha. I just woke up too." Kagome dropped her hands and looked away from Inu-Yasha, sliding to the floor at his feet.
"Damn this all to the Hells." Inu-Yasha looked down at Kagome. "Are you alright? Kagome?" Worry had replaced the anger in his eyes, but he quickly hid it. Kagome slowly lifted her head, a small smile on her lips.
"I'm alright Inu-Yasha, just tired." She smiled lightly again and dropped her head into her chest. Inu-Yasha growled in the back of his throat and looked up again.
His hands were tied together by a kind of hand cuffs. The chain connecting the cuffs was tied to a longer chain running straight up to the ceiling of the small cell they were locked in. He clenched his fists in anger. "Damn it. I bet it was that Ashura bitch who brought us here." His words were muttered.
"Who?" Kagome asked as she looked up. Inu-Yasha looked down and opened his mouth to reply, but someone else answered first.
"Me, that's who little girl." A to sweet voice said to Kagome's left. Both Kagome and Inu-Yasha turned to look at the young woman standing in the doorway to the cell. Her dark back hair outlined in gold from the torch she held.
"Bitch! You said you would leave Kagome out of this!" Inu-Yasha raged as his eyes flashed with anger again. Ashura clicked her tongue as she stepped into the cell, closing the door behind her. Kagome looked up at the woman as she walked over to the chained up and pissed hanyou.
"Yes, hanyou, out of our fight. We are no longer fighting." Ashura lifted her eyes to him. "Are we little mutt?" Her voice was quickly hardening. Inu-Yasha bared his fangs at her.
"Until you are dead, we are fighting." Inu-Yasha's mouth had barely closed before Ashura's fist connected with his jaw.
"Inu-Yasha!" Kagome screeched as she saw his head snap sideways. The hanyou turned his face back to the woman.
"Bitch." He spat, a small amount of blood dripping down his swollen lip where his fang had been thrust into it. Ashura frowned and leaned into Inu-Yasha, her lips brushing his ear as she breathed words to him.
"You seam to care for this human woman." Her breath was warm against his ear. He snarled in reply. "Does she care for you as such?" Her words hit him hard. Did Kagome care for him like he did for her? Ashura grinned in success at Inu-Yasha's silence.
"Get your hands off of him." Kagome growled as she got to her feet. Ashura pulled back from the hanyou and turned around to look at Kagome.
"Or what human?" Ashura hadn't lost her cocky grin. Kagome lowered her eyes to the ground. She knew she couldn't do anything to this woman.
"Leave Kagome alone!" Inu-Yasha growled dangerously. Ashura looked over her shoulder at Inu-Yasha.
"And what are you going to do hanyou? You are as weak as her."
"That's not true! You don't even know Inu-Yasha!" Kagome said angrily as she looked up at Ashura. The woman turned back to Kagome, her flat palm swinging down to connect with Kagome's face as she straightened.
Kagome let out a small gasp and fell sideways, the strength of the woman's blow knocking Kagome out once again. "Leave Kagome alone!" Inu-Yasha fairly roared as he kicked his untied legs up and at Ashura. The woman only turned slightly and stepped out of the hanyou's reach.
"You should learn some manners. I am the one in charge now." She didn't look at either of the two now bleeding and bruised people in the cell as she walked out, slamming and locking the door with a loud click.
Inu-Yasha hissed through clenched teeth as he stared holes through the door. "Damn her..." He growled through his teeth. Kagome suddenly moaned and opened her eyes. Inu-Yasha snapped his head down to look at her.
"Inu-Yasha? Where did that woman go?" She muttered as she climbed to her feet. Inu-Yasha shook his head.
"She just left. Are you alright Kagome?" He tried to hide the real worry in his voice. Kagome looked up and nodded, but didn't smile.
"Inu-Yasha, you're bleeding." She pulled her sleeve down to her hand, covering her fingers as she reached her hand up to Inu-Yasha's mouth.
"I'm fine, it's just a scratch." Inu-Yasha pulled his head back and away from Kagome. She frowned and grabbed his hair, pulling him back to her. "Hey!"
"Just hold still for one second." She wiped the drop of blood off of the hanyou's lip and pulled back. Inu-Yasha licked his swollen lower lip, the taste of blood leaking onto his tongue. He looked at Kagome as she fidgeted with her hair, putting the ebony strands behind her ear.
"Kagome, do you think you could get these chains off?" Inu-Yasha asked quietly. Kagome jumped slightly as she was dragged out if her thoughts.
"What?" She looked up at him slowly. Inu-Yasha stared at her for a second before shaking his head.
"Nothing, I just wanted to make sure you were alright." He lied. Kagome nodded again and slowly stepped forward. She glanced at her feet once, and then turned around, resting her back against the wall behind Inu-Yasha.
He watched her close her eyes slowly, resting her head against the cold stone wall. "Inu-Yasha... you should get some sleep...." Kagome muttered. The hanyou in her thoughts nodded slowly, as if she could see him through her closed eyelids.
"You too Kagome..." He watched her slow and steady chest rise and fall as she tried to sleep off her headache. Inu-Yasha sighed as the light coming through the small window faded into blackness.
He lifted his head and closed his eyes. He wasn't going to sleep, just rest his sore eyes.
