Life's Unfair

Chapter 16 - A New Friend

Inuyasha watched Jakotsu move closer towards him. "What...what are you doing?" Inuyasha backed up until he's against the wall.

"I'm going to teach you a little lesson in respect." Jakotsu grinned. "Oh, you'll learn to obey me eventually." Jakotsu dug his hand into his pocket.

Inuyasha's eyes widen when Jakotsu pulled out a small knife. He watched as the pocket knife came dangerously near him.

"Fear me Inuyasha." Jakotsu let out a little laugh. "Let me see your fear." He place the knife's point against Inuyasha's jaw.

Inuyasha whimpered softly as the point dug slightly into his skin.

Jakotsu frown when Inuyasha didn't scream or nothing. He press the knife in a little more, satisfy when Inuyasha's blood was drawn.

Inuyasha groaned as he felt his skin broke. Kind of like one of those fat needles they use in the operating room.

Jakotsu grinned and he pulled the knife away and lean forward to lick the blood off.

Inuyasha grimaced. He stiffen as Jakotsu's tongue repeatedly ran over his jaw.

Jakotsu pulled away and grabbed Inuyasha's throat, holding him up in mid air. "Man do I really enjoy this." He growled when the door suddenly opened, jerking his head to see who it was.

"JAKOTSU!" Kip yelled when seeing the sight. "Put him down!" He rush over and push Jakotsu away. "You ok?" He rubbed Inuyasha's hair and ears while checking for any marks. Kip then saw a scar still fresh on Inuyasha's jaw.

"He's just a slave man." Jakotsu glared at Kip angrily.

"He's a boy!" Kip roared as he gently ran his finger over the cut.

"I was just having a little fun that's all." Jakotsu defended his actions. "There's nothing wrong in that!"

"Your fun isn't exactly fun." Kip growled back.

"Well my bad." Jakotsu headed for the exit. "How'd I know you don't like to share." He left before Kip could respond.

"You poor boy." Kip sighed and move toward the cabinets.

Inuyasha watched as Kip got out a little box with pictures of bandages on it.

Kip took out a bandage and stick it over Inuyasha's cut. "There you go..." Kip press the sides so it'll stay in place. "Is that all the cuts you have?" Kip asked knowing Jakotsu, Inuyasha probably has like seven or eight cuts/ bruises.

Inuyasha nod his head.

Kip was kind of surprise. 'Then again, maybe I came right on time...' He pat Inuyasha on the head. "You should be more careful next time. Don't come in on any strange places ok?"

Inuyasha nodded. "Ok."

Kip gave him a smile and went towards the door. "I have to go now, you stay safe."

Inuyasha nodded again.

Kip waved then left.

Inuyasha just stared at the door. 'Mina isn't here?' He fell onto his knees. Inuyasha wanted to cry. The mean man lied to him. '...but he promised.' Inuyasha shook his head. "He promised!" Inuyasha growled.

"Hello?" A voice asked frightened from outside. "Is anyone there?"

Inuyasha stared back at the door. 'Kagome?'

The door creaked open slowly, reveling a little girl. "Oh, hey."

'She's the girl from last time.' Inuyasha acknowledged. "Hi."

"What are you doing in here?" The girl asked.

"I was brought in here by this mean man." Inuyasha frowned and pout.

"Oh no!" She ran towards him. Holding his arms up, she looked around. "You're not hurt are you??" She asked worriedly.

"No." Inuyasha was surprised at this girl's actions.

"You're lucky!" She stood striate. "This is Jakotsu's room. He's the meanest and heartless masters around."

Inuyasha just raised an eyebrow.

"Slaves who are brought or ordered in here never come out in one piece!" She pointed to his bandage. "Did he do that to you?"

Inuyasha nodded.

"And that's all?" She seemed amazed.

Inuyasha nodded.

"Wow, normally, it's a lot worst." She tiptoed to face him. "You're so lucky!"

Inuyasha backed up a little, she was uncomfortably close.

"I can't help but think I met you somewhere already..." She placed a finger on her chin. "Oh yeah!" She pointed towards him, her index finger touching his nose. "You're the boy looking for Mina."

Inuyasha nodded.

"So, any luck?" She gave a friendly smile.

Inuyasha shook his head.

"Oh, I haven't a bit of luck either." She sighed and sat down. "I'm so tired."

Inuyasha sat down opposite of her. "Why?" He asked curious.

"I've just finished four of my work." She showed him by putting four fingers up. "I just need three more..."

Inuyasha frowned. He didn't get her. "Work?"

"Yeah, what? You don't have any work to do?" She watched him, waiting for a response.

Inuyasha shook his head and stood up.

"Man, you are lucky." She look up to Inuyasha.

Inuyasha smiled. This girl seemed kind of nice. 'What's her name again?' Come to think of it, he never asked. "What's your name?"

"Sango." She grins. "Yours?"

"Inuyasha." Right after answering, Inuyasha placed out his hand.

"Cool, never heard of you." She stood up and shook it. "Where you from?"

Inuyasha shrugged. "I don't know."

"Oh ok." Sango wasn't sure if that was an answer at all. 'He doesn't know where he's from?' Sounds weird to me. Maybe he doesn't want me to know...

"Where are you from?" Inuyasha questioned her back.

'Why should I tell you if you won't tell me?' Sango though for a second. "I'm from hell."

Inuyasha raise an eyebrow. "What?"

"I said I'm from hell, very warm down there." Sango fanned her face with her hand showing him what she meant.

"Oh..." Inuyasha still didn't get it.

"So uh, you know your place around?"

Inuyasha shook his head.

"Want me to give you a tour?" Sango offered.

"SANGO!" A voice from outside yelled.

"Oh, I gotta go." She quickly grabbed the doornob. "See you around Inuyasha." She waved slightly then ran out.

"Ok." Inuyasha replied softly after she left.
