Chapter 3 is finally up! Hope you like it!
Last time: The sad truth was that even though Kiara and Sesshomaru would prefer to escape, they would prefer to die than to be in these miserable lives. They were just afraid of the pain that they would have to deal with before their final breaths. Kiara and Sesshomaru wanted to die. Even if they did escape somehow, would they be able to live? Or would the scars embedded within their hearts make them much more vulnerable to living in the first place.
Kiara, Sesshomaru and Inuyasha were thrown down into the dungeon after bringing Inutaisho the dinner that he ordered for them to make him. Since Inuyasha was new at the slavery, he didn't mix the beer and the wine the correct way. Because of this mistake, Inutaisho had broken a full bottle of beer. Then he took a sharp piece of the shattered glass, grabbed Inuyasha by the hair and yanked his youngest child towards him with violent and brutal strength and then Inutaisho ripped open Inuyasha's tattered shirt, and pierced his shoulder with the sharpest part of the glass.
Inuyasha screamed out of pain. Tears emerged from his eyes and rolled down his cheek as he choked out sobs. Inutaisho kept aggressively piercing his son's shoulder with the glass until he thought that Inuyasha had suffered enough pain. Then, he carelessly yanked the now bloody piece of glass out of Inuyasha's back and heaved it at Kiara and Sesshomaru as he hoped that it would hit one of them.
"IF THE TWO OF YOU DON'T WANT THE SAME THAT YOUR BROTHER GOT – GET DOWN INTO THE DUNGEON AND DON'T COME OUT!" Inutaisho barked. Kiara and Sesshomaru fearfully ran down into the dungeon, leaving Inuyasha alone with their father.
Inutaisho breathed into Inuyasha's face. His breath smelt horrible, as if the scent was taken over by the nauseating stench of beer, wine and cocaine. "You better not pull that on me again … or that old piece of glass will be shoved up your big fat ass … and never taken out …"
Inuyasha choked out sobs and waited for his father to beat him. Instead, Inutaisho opened the door to the dungeon and pushed Inuyasha down the stairs. Inutaisho then slammed the door so hard that Kiara and Sesshomaru could have sworn that their father could have broken down the door just by slamming it.
"It's okay, Inuyasha," Kiara said soothingly. "Sesshomaru and I get those all the time."
"It's not right …" Inuyasha sobbed. "Did you two hear him?"
"Yes," Sesshomaru said. "We've gotten glass up our asses before. But we helped each other take them out."
Inuyasha cried himself to sleep as Kiara and Sesshomaru used strips of cloth from their younger brother's clothes to provide a basic bandage to stop the bleeding. Kiara and Sesshomaru both looked at each other, pain striking both of their eyes.
"What do you think is gonna happen to us, Kiara?" Sesshomaru asked.
Kiara put an arm around her twin brother's shoulder and pulled him against her. "I don't know how much longer we'll last."
Sesshomaru rested his head on Kiara's shoulder. The two of them began to cry.
"We're gonna die any day now," Sesshomaru sobbed.
Kiara hugged her twin brother. A tear rolled down her cheek and onto Sesshomaru's head. Sesshomaru hugged her back as his tears stained his sister's ripped and dirty clothes. The two of them cried like that for hours and hours until they cried themselves to sleep just like Inuyasha had.
In Kiara's dream, she, Sesshomaru and Inuyasha were killed by their father. Inutaisho had taken his prized sword, the Tetsusaiga, to slaughter them all. The three children were put to rest, and their wishes of escaping from the world they were forced to live in were granted. In her sleep, Kiara felt her heart feel as if it was ripped in two. That was a feeling that she and Sesshomaru had been facing for years and years. One of her emotional scars had ripped open from the thought of being murdered by Inutaisho, even though it wouldn't be so surprising for that situation to occur. Kiara's dream had just proven how it would be impossible to feel safe and secure in the only place she and her siblings had to call 'home'.
But it wasn't home. It was prison. It was a troop of three slaves to their own father. The three of them were abused slaves to their own bloodline. Unfortunately, it seemed like that would be what Kiara, Inuyasha and Sesshomaru would always be for the remainders of their miserable – and possibly short – lives.
I know, the chapter's short, but I can't think of what to do. I don't know if I should have Kiara, Sesshomaru and Inuyasha escape from their drunk father or if I should have the three of them die. Review if you want me to go on to the next chapter. And tell me if you want them to escape or die. Maybe I'll take the option that was liked the most.
