*um. fair warning if you even remotely like Naraku. after this chapter you wont. Also it gets very Um. I guess descriptive so if your squeamish be careful.*
Part 19 Giving up?
Inuyasha refused to wait any longer. He climbed down to the cave with kagome on his back. Shippo, Miroku, Sango, and Kouga were on Kirara. Sesshomaru had decided not to follow her through the cave.
"Wow. It's dark," Shippo said
There was a rustling noise which was followed by a click and a yell. the rustling was kagome going through her bag for her flash light. The click was her turning it on and the yell was Inuyasha getting a flashlight beam in his eyes.
"Hey," He yelled
"hey," the cave echoed
"Sorry," kagome said
"sorry," the cave echoed
Inuyasha started to sniff around.
"This way," he said quietly
They followed Atria's trail. When they reached the cavern the saw the remains of the battle.
"What happened?" Miroku asked
"Looks like she ran into trouble," Inuyasha said
He jumped down and sniffed around. He stood up suddenly.
"Naraku has her," he said
"Are you sure," Kagome asked
Kouga walked over a sniffed
"Yep. he's right," Kouga said, "Naraku, Atria, and some unidentified demon left together. Shelani, too."
"Let's go," Shippo hollered
She woke up. She was ties to a pole. Arms behind her. She looked up. She was home again.
'Home. that's the wrong word," she thought
She struggled against her bonds. She heard a thud behind her. She tried to twist around to look, but she couldn't quite see. She looked forward. She could see all the familiar things. There was her cage and among other things Naraku's favorite tool. A small curved blade. she shuddered.
"Mrow," came form behind her.
"Shelani?" Atria whispered
She heard the cage rattle. She tried to break her bonds. She couldn't. She suddenly got lost in her thoughts. She was thinking of Inuyasha and Sesshomaru.
"But then he'll know," she thought out loud
"Know what?" Naraku asked.
Atria looked to the side. She hadn't realized he was there. She refrained from answering
"Oh come now. Don't make it harder on yourself," he said
he walked around in front of her. He watched as she did not even look at him. He took her chin and forced her to face him. She did not look into his eyes. He snapped his fingers in front of her eyes. She looked at him
"There we go. Tell me what you meant," he said
The look of defiance was all the answer he needed.
"Hmm, where shall we start," he said
He turned to the table of 'tools'. He picked up the curved blade. he turned with smile on his lips. The look in her eyes made his smile wider.
A Small demon crept towards the underground chamber. Naraku had been in there for over three hour. no one had heard anything from down here. the small demon, who was called Hiretsu, had been elected to tell Master Naraku about the information they had found. Hiretsu knocked on the door. He heard a small cry
"Damn!" came from inside
The door flew open and banged against the wall. Naraku was furious. Hiretsu cowered from him. Naraku was covered in blood.
"What is it!" Naraku said dangerously
"S-s-sorry m-m-master. there's s-s-some n-n-news about her," Hiretsu said
"New. What news," Naraku said
"Uh, Um. W-w-we..." Hiretsu said.
"Now tell me now," Naraku demanded
"We found out about her father. It was Inutaisho. Same as Inuyasha and Sesshomaru. Also apparently her mother was a priestess," Hiretsu said
"Hmm," Naraku said
Naraku turned and went back inside. He slammed the door behind him. Hiretsu breathed a sigh of relief. then he scurried away.
"Well, well now that's interesting," Naraku said
He looked at Atria. He had had to chain her to the wall so she'd stay standing. Somehow she was still conscious.
"Well it seems I've found out something about you," he said
Atria lifted her head slowly. She spit out blood. She looked at him.
"Seems you're related to our beloved Inuyasha," He said
Atria struggled weakly. She tried to pull against the restraints, but she could barely move. Naraku just laughed
"Is that what you meant earlier?" he asked
Atria just hung there quietly. She didn't have anything to say
"Well, I see your being stubborn. Shall we continue," Naraku asked
"No, please," Atria whispered
"Excuse me," Naraku asked
"Pl-please stop," Atria whispered.
"So have we given up?" Naraku asked
When Atria looked away Naraku considered it a yes
"Any other secrets?" he asked
She shook her head and lowered her eyes. Naraku unchained her. She fell to the floor.
"I know how to heal you," Naraku said
Atria looked up. She knew what was coming. She shook her head.
"No?" Naraku said
Atria managed to get herself propped up against the wall. She drew her knees up to her chest and sat there.
"I suppose I over did it this time. Oh well," Naraku said
Atria sat there rapidly losing consciousness. He hadn't won. Not yet, She was just bluffing. He had really done a number on he. He'd never gone this far before. He had started with that blade and never paused. She had managed to keep from crying out.
Well, when someone had knocked on the door. the blade had gone a little deep. The she couldn't keep from crying out. Naraku had flew towards the door. Atria had forced herself to pay attention. She would have looked surprised, but she didn't have enough energy.
When Naraku came back she was trying to think of what to do.
"No please," she whispered.
She had caught him off guard.
"Excuse me? Naraku said
"Pl-please stop," she repeated
"So have we given up?" Naraku asked
She couldn't bring herself to lie so she looked away. He interpreted that as a yes. He asked about secrets and she shook her head. He released her from the chains. She didn't even have enough strength to catch herself. She cringed ever so slightly when he started talking again..
"I know how to heal you," he said coyly
She had a shaken her head. Now Naraku had left her. She was quite worried. she had no idea what to expect from him. She only hoped that he believed her for now.
Inuyasha had followed their scents to a castle. He could smell many demons. The most prominent was Naraku.
"Well, hello," A voice said behind them.
Inuyasha whirled around to see Naraku standing behind Kagome. Kagome had jumped and hidden behind Inuyasha.
"I have your sister. She has been....broken," Naraku said
Naraku laughed at the horror in Kagome's eyes
"I don't believe you," Inuyasha growled
"Come and see her for yourself then," Naraku said
Sesshomaru showed up behind him and slashed the Naraku puppet the shreds.
"We'll do that," Sesshomaru said.
They all headed to the castle.
Atria decided that if she was gonna get anywhere she'd have to accept the shard.
'Hopefully I can purify it before he sees. Then I can use it safely. If not...' Atria didn't finish her thought
She knew exactly what would happen if she didn't manage to purify the shard before she took it in. She shuddered sending waves of pain through out her body. She would never let that happen. She looked up as Naraku entered the room.
"So would you take the offer this time?" Naraku asked holding out a jewel shard
Atria reached for it. Naraku pulled it out of her reach. He held it up to the light. Atria noticed it was completely black.
"No, if you want it I'll give it to you. So you don't trick me," Naraku said
Atria took a deep painful breath.
'If I refuse it he won't trust me,' Atria thought, 'I'll just have to be careful'
Atria nodded. Naraku smiled. Atria felt a stab of pain in her shoulder. She instantly felt better and worse at the same time. She felt the shards evil seeping into her. She stood up. She suddenly wanted to turn into a demon. She fought the urge and won.
'Don't now how long I can keep this up,' she thought
She smiled at Naraku.
"Can Shelani be let out," she asked
"Hmm, I suppose," Naraku said
Atria walked over to Shelani's cage. Shelani bolted outside. Naraku made as if to go after her.
"Let her go. She won't be back," atria said
'Hurry Shelani. Please. I don't know how long I can hold out,' she thought
She smiled at Naraku. She motioned towards the door. Naraku walked out followed by Atria.
Kagome was tackled by Shelani
"Off, what's wrong Shelani?" kagome asked
Kagome was suddenly hit by tons of pictures.
"Uh, slow down," she told Shelani
The pictures slowed. There was Atria, Then Naraku, then a tainted shard, then...
"Kagome. what's going on, what's taking so long?" Inuyasha asked
"She, she," Kagome stuttered
Inuyasha looked at Kagome funny. Then he was hit by the pictures.
"there must be some reason she did. I mean she freed Shelani," Inuyasha said
"Inuyasha we must hurry," kagome said
Neither of them bothered to question what had just happened.
Atria was staring to worry. Too much longer and she'll be gone and then Inuyasha and Kagome will have to kill her. She sighed
"Bored?" Naraku asked
"Hmm?" Atria said
"Your fighting it," Naraku accused
"What can I say. My good side is strong, but eventually it will fall," she said
'hopefully it won't fall soon,' she thought
The small demon Hiretsu entered the room they were in. He crawled towards them.
"Master Naraku," It said quietly
"What," Naraku said without looking at it.
"intruders," it said
Naraku stood up. He motioned for Atria to come with him.
"No. Let them come to me," she said
"Very well," he said
Naraku left with Hiretsu crawling behind him. Atria gasped as spasms of pain shot through her body.
"Thought he'd never leave," She said quietly
She cut open her shoulder. She could feel the jewel. She searched for it. ignoring the pain she was causing herself she found it and removed it. She looked at it. It slowly turned it's normal color. When the black was completely gone she put it in her wrist. She sighed with relief. She stood up. She grabbed the edge of the table as waves of blackness washed over her eyes.
'No, the evil seeped out too much,"
She sat back down.
'Now I get to fight with myself,' She thought
She looked out the window. Somehow she had to let them know she was still herself. She pulled out her flute which Naraku had given back. She began playing a lament which turned into Inuyasha's song.
Inuyasha heard his song. He was promptly shown that Atria was still her, but at war with the evil of the shard.
"Thanks Shelani, I needed that," he said
He continued walking. He saw demons up ahead blocking the way. He hollered back to let everyone know.
Naraku cursed. She had broken free of the shards powers. He burst into the room startling Atria who was lost in her playing. She stared at him.
"You fool," Naraku said
He walked up and hit her. She fell out of the chair. He had her taken back to her 'room'.
"Get me kagome," Naraku said
Kagome stopped suddenly. She sensed jewel shards everywhere.
"Inuyasha," She cried as she was grabbed from behind.
Inuyasha turned around in time to see Kagome disappear and demons appear in her place
"Damn it," Inuyasha yelled
He attacked with all his fury.
Atria looked up. Her arms hurt. She had been chained up again. The chains hung from the ceiling in the middle of the room. Her arms were extended above her and her feet were chained to the floor. She just hung/stood there waiting for Naraku. She heard the door open
"Put her in the cage," Naraku said
Atria turned and saw Kagome being shoved into the cage.
"I'm sorry," Atria started
Naraku smacked her.
"Do not test my patience," he said
He turned to kagome and smiled
"You will help me find the rest of the jewel shards," he said
"Never," Kagome spat
"Have it your way," he said
He walked over to his little table. Atria looked at Kagome
"What ever he does. Don't help him," Atria told her
Naraku laughed and shook his head. He picked up a cup and walked over to atria. He smiled as he lifted her head. He forced her mouth open and poured red liquid in. Atria gagged and spit it out. She coughed.
"Tastes good doesn't it. Don't worry you'll eventually learn to love human blood," he said
Kagome gasped. Naraku forced Atria to swallow this time. Atria gagged and threw up. Naraku sighed. He walked over to his table again and picked up his favorite tool. He smiled and went to work. Kagome huddled in the corner with her eyes closed
Sesshomaru froze. He heard a cry.
"Inuyasha did you hear that?" he yelled
Inuyasha stopped and listened.
"It's them. What is that bastard doing to them," Inuyasha asked
"Let's go find out," Sesshomaru said
Kouga grabbed Shelani and ran after Inuyasha and Sesshomaru. Sango yelled at Kirara. Miroku and Shippo hopped on Kirara, Sango jumped on as Kirara went running by.
Kagome was crying. Atria wanted to tell her to stop because she wasn't worth it, but she couldn't talk between her cries. Somehow Naraku managed to make her cry out with every cut. Both of them were covered in blood.
He paused. Her head fell forward. She was trying to pant, but it hurt to even breath. She hadn't bothered to ask for forgiveness, it hadn't worked before, why would it work now.
'The jewel shard is the only reason I'm still alive,' she thought
She tried to swallow, but the bitter taste of the blood Naraku had forced her to drink came back. This time it was tainted with her own. She realized she was also crying, but no matter how she tried she couldn't stop the tears.
Inuyasha burst into the throne room.
"Not here," He yelled behind him
"move on then," Sesshomaru said
Inuyasha ran down the hall. He had her scent now. He followed it to a door. When the smell of blood hit him he staggered back holding his nose. He heard a small cry of pain from inside. He attacked to door with Tetsusaiga but nothing happened.
"Hey Naraku open up. NOW!" he screamed
Kagome looked up at Inuyasha's cries.
"INUYASHA!!" she screamed
There was a thump on the door. Naraku continued his work. He cut deeper each time. Atria couldn't cry out anymore because she had no voice and no energy left. She just hung there barely awake.
"HURRY!!" kagome screamed
Inuyasha attacked harder when he heard Kagome.
"Sesshomaru, Kouga, guys I need your help," Inuyasha yelled
*yeah that was a long harsh chapter. Yes it was*
Part 19 Giving up?
Inuyasha refused to wait any longer. He climbed down to the cave with kagome on his back. Shippo, Miroku, Sango, and Kouga were on Kirara. Sesshomaru had decided not to follow her through the cave.
