Disclaimer - I own InuYasha just as much as I believe that the stars a small fireflies that got stuck in the big sheet of darkness called night! WHAT okay I watched The Lion King while I was babysitting yesterday!

Chapter Six

Flashback

Naraku had thrown a surprise attack on us. I told Shippo to hid, and not come out until he knew for a fact that it was safe. Miroku was down because of the poison bugs had gone into his wind tunnel. InuYasha was battling Kagura, and Sango was fighting her brother. I alone was set to kill Naraku.

His tentacles came out of surprise, and launched me into the trees. I can dimly remember the sharp pain as I slide down the rough bark of the tree. Shippo ran out towards me, and was hit by one of the tentacles. He hit the ground hard, and I could feel my eyes began to bleed red. I got up even when the pain flowed into my body, and blood flowed out. I pushed all thoughts of pain out of my head only filling it with protecting Shippo. I thought he was, what looked to be knocked out, so I picked him up, and was ready to go find cover for him. But one of Naraku's tentacles ripped into my back, and tore me away from Shippo. I ignored the pulsing pain as I stared down at Shippo. I heard his horrified screams as the tentacle flung me into the air, and ripped into my once again. I screamed at Shippo telling him to run. At first he didn't listen as he ran forward to try, and help me. I pulled myself out of the tentacle, and leapt down, and grabbed him right before the tentacle came down I tried to move faster I really did!

My wounds were just to big, and my speed, and strength was diminishing. Another tentacle slammed into me, and knocked me into a tree. I released Shippo, and told him to run. The iron like taste of blood filled my mouth, but I ignored it as I pushing him forward. He ran finally, and hid. I tried to get up with all my strength, but couldn't. There was so much blood around me. Then I felt something as he wrapped his tentacle around me, and picked me up. My body began to slowly go limp as everything blacked out.

The next time I woke up I was chained to the wall. Blood smeared the ground of when they dragged me into the dungeon. My hair was coated with it, and it fell down around me. I could feel blood coating my body from my wounds. My body was black and blue, and the demon blood was taking longer then it was suppose to, to heal my wounds.

For the first year that I was there all I can remember was pain. Never ending pain that was filling my body until I screamed for release. They were angry because I wouldn't tell them anything. They wanted to know my friends weaknesses so that they would be able to finally defeat them. I refused, and for doing so was punished! They had those horrible metal whips that cut into my skin worse then any sword could. The pain was unbearable. I would scream until the sun went down. My body was cut up from the whips, but they would always stop when I was so close to death that another attack would do me in. They always left me at the edge of life to feel the pulsing pain! Soon I was use to the feeling it was all I had felt for so long.

They tried to break me! They tried to make me go insane by giving me nightmares in the one place I thought was sanctuary. While I was asleep I couldn't feel any physical pain, but I could get hurt much more then anything they could try. They tried to make me believe that my friends had betrayed me, and left me to die. In the day they attacked me with the whips, and the night they attacked me in my dreams. I wished for death for so many years, but soon I began to wish for someone else death. It began to get to me, the need for revenge began to take control, and all I wanted was Naraku's blood. I wanted him dead, and more then that I wanted to be the one that brought him to death. He would come down, and taunt me at least once a week. Then he began to stop after a few years letting me rot in that hell hole.

Soon I showed no signs of pain as the metal whips made contact with my body. Quickly losing interest in what they use to think of as a game they left me alone. The only things I saw was the rats that scurried across my feet. Nasty little things might I add!

I had given up sleep, and at night I could see there red eyes as they watched me. I was going insane I knew that, and the only thing that kept me from going completely insane was the thought of Shippo as he asked me to read his bed time story. Sango, and Miroku's little ordeal of 'I love you, but won't let you know that' thing. Even InuYasha at the very few times he was nice. Then finally the chains had slowly began to rust. I waited until they were weak enough, and until my strength was regained. Then I set myself free, and got my revenge.

((Yeah that's all. It was short I know, but yet all it was, was a flashback! Okay well I had began a lot of stories before this one, and most of them were around six to eight pages, and each one never reached chapter three. I will try the best of my ability to make these stories a bit longer. I will try to post everyday because the other views of the story are pretty much one chapter put into two different ways so I will try to post faster. Well till next chapter!))
