Water … it was all they were seeing. The three of them had to follow Inutaisho's orders to wash the floors and walls of the entire estate with toothbrushes or else they might just be killed. Kiara and Sesshomaru took care of the walls while Inuyasha washed the floors. Kiara dipped her toothbrush in the bucket of ice-cold water and continued washing the wall.

Inuyasha could still feel the pain of the glass being shoved up his ass by Inutaisho. It felt like the horror was still going on, like Inutaisho would continue sticking the glass up there until his youngest son died of blood poisoning or some other way. Inuyasha felt tears swell up in his eyes. He held them back, even though it was very difficult to do so. He dipped his toothbrush into the water and cleaned another small area of the floor.

"How much longer do we have to get this done?" Sesshomaru asked. "The orders were to do it in a certain amount of time."

"Two hours … the entire estate …" Kiara replied. "We probably only have about ten minutes left. And we only completed two rooms. It's impossible to do what he wants. He just wants to beat us."

"We might as well not try anymore," Inuyasha sighed. He threw his toothbrush into the bucket of water. It landed in the water with a tiny splash. Kiara and Sesshomaru agreed with their younger brother and put their toothbrushes into the bucket as well.

Wait. That was the only choice that they had. Wait for their beatings. The three of them just stood there. And then, they heard their father's footsteps begin to walk down the corridor. It was time.

"WHY HAVEN'T THE THREE OF YOU COMPLETED YOUR ORDER?" Inutaisho barked.

Inutaisho's bark scared the three of them. But they stayed brave and waited to be injured.

"The task isn't possible," Kiara said softly. "We couldn't do it."

Inutaisho growled and stormed over to his daughter. He squeezed her throat, cutting off her oxygen. Kiara couldn't breathe. She knew that she would die. Sesshomaru and Inuyasha went to help their sister. Kiara kicked Inutaisho in the pelvis and Inutaisho struck her across the face. It was then when Sesshomaru punched his father in the face, surprising Inutaisho so much that he released Kiara.

Kiara took a deep breath. Sesshomaru hugged her and held her tight. But the fight wasn't over. It would never be over.

"He's coming!" Inuyasha gasped.

Inutaisho took off his belt and held it in his hands. "The time has come," he said. "For all of you to die like you deserved to for years."

"We have to get out of here!" Kiara exclaimed. "There's no choice but to escape!"

"Run!" Sesshomaru said.

Kiara, Sesshomaru and Inuyasha ran as fast as they could, trying to find a way to escape from their father's estate. But Inutaisho wouldn't let them get away so easily. He chased them, and was barely behind them. He whipped them with the belt as they ran, trying to catch them off guard so that he could kill them. They kept running and eventually got outside. However, a high, metal, spiked fence surrounded the estate and blocked their chances of escape.

We have to jump the fence somehow, Kiara thought.

Inutaisho picked up the speed and caught Inuyasha. Inuyasha was the one who was the slowest out of the three slaves.

"Help!" Inuyasha sobbed as his father whipped him with the leather belt. "Help me!" Inutaisho covered Inuyasha's face with cloth. Now he was trying to suffocate his own son.

Kiara and Sesshomaru, who were almost at the fence, came back to help Inuyasha. But it was no use. Inutaisho had suffocated by the time the two of them got back to him. Inutaisho laughed. He was enjoying this. Killing and/or torturing his children was like getting presents on Christmas to him. Kiara and Sesshomaru picked up Inuyasha's dead body, and tried to escape while their father was laughing.

They finally got over the fence without any more injuries than a few gashes from the metal spikes at the top. Kiara and Sesshomaru decided to find a place to bury Inuyasha's body. However, just as they were about to dig a hole for a grave, Inuyasha sat up.

"What are you doing? Hey? Did we escape?" he asked. His voice sounded weak, but alive.

"Aren't you dead? Didn't he suffocate you?" Sesshomaru asked.

Inuyasha said no. He said that he passed out but didn't die.

"Do you need help walking or anything like that?" Kiara asked.

Inuyasha shook his head. "I'm fine now. Especially since I know that we escaped."

"I guess we have to find a home," Sesshomaru said. "We're still too young to be by ourselves. Demon slayers would kill us."

"And he will be looking for us, I'm sure," Kiara added. Then she got an idea. "I know what we have to do. We have to find Inuyasha's mother. Maybe she'd take us in."

Kiara, Sesshomaru and Inuyasha began their journey to find Izayoi – Inuyasha's mother – and find a way to escape from Inutaisho forever. They had survived another encounter with their father. But what about the next one? And the one after that? Would they be able to escape their father alive?

It's probably not that good. I was rushing while I wrote it.
