Chapter Seven: Lord Harumi's True Plans: Revealed

"What the hell are you up to Harumi? Whose life are you after as of now? You know I will find out, so you may as well tell me now."

Kayomi wanted to know her masters plans before he engaged in them. She knew he was quite rash about the things he did. Usually, he'd slay people for no reason.. and when there was a reason, it was only for revenge. He truly was quite pathetic in her opinion.

Truth is, Kayomi hated Harumi. She was nothing more to him then his 'plaything.' She wished for nothing more then his death.

Harumi snorted to himself at his servant's boldness. Did she not think he could kill her in a mere second without a second thought? "Ah my love.. you wish to hear of what I have to speak? There truly is a first time for everything!"

She was enraged at this. "Don't call me that! The nerve of you.. you force yourself on me more then once and think you have the right to know me as your 'lover?' I shou.." Her words had been cut short. Harumi used his demonic speed and strength to swiftly backhand her. If not for his death grip on her arm, she would of most likely flown back into the window, breaking the glass.

Harumi lifted her head to look into her eyes and responded, "I will do as I please. I am your lord, and you serve only me. The way you serve me is entirely my choice." To prove his point, he leaned his head forward and captured her lips in a forced kiss. He lightened his grip on her when she began to respond to him, and this pleased him.

He wondered why she said he'd forced himself on her; he'd never actually done so before. All their 'intimate' times together had been nothing close to forced.. in fact, she'd brought most them on. He really didn't understand her.

Kayomi snapped back into reality and slapped Harumi.. hard. He flew back into a wooden table, and seeing as his death grip had been revived, she was flung right back with him. Harumi landed on the table, breaking it, and Kayomi flew over him into the black wall behind the table. Boy.. her luck was running out. She knew his way of solving things was indeed deplorable, and slightly painful.. for her, but all the more pleasurable for him. She prepared for the worst as he glared at her with his once cerulean eyes, now a deep, deep crimson.

"You shall pay for that. How dare you disobey me as such! You dare lay a hand on me and anticipate no consequence?" Harumi sneered evilly. "Instead of killing you, rather I shall do something a great deal worse."

He smirked and walked over to her as he picked her up. "This shall indeed be fun.."

Kagome followed Kahori into Rin's quarters. "This is young Rin."

Kahori cautiously guided her to a bed with the frame of a girl, around twelve resting upon it.

"Rin, this is the miko who will heal you. I believe you two have met, am I not correc.."

"Kahori-Sama.. KAGOME-SAMA! She is going to heal me!" Rin interrupted.

Kagome had a disbelieving look on her face. "I know her?" she whispered to Kahori.

"Hai. You met her nearly five years ago. She was killed by Kouga.. the wolf princes wolves, but Lord Sesshoumaru-Sama resurrected her with his sword, the tenseiga, an heirloom from his late father, Inu Taisho."

"He resurrected her.. with a sword..?" She was visibly -and audibly- lost.

"Hai, the powers of his sword are phenomenal! The sword is meant not to harm, but solely to heal. How Totosai.. the sword smith who forged the sword, was able to make it is beyond my knowledge."

"Who is Totosai? Why did he forge a sword? How can a sword heal? I'm really confused."

Kahori sighed. "As of now, we have a set task needing to be completed, as for your questions, I shall answer them as soon as an open opportunity appears." Kahori grasped Kagome's hand and walked over to Rin's bed.

"To heal Rin, you need to chant an ancient spell. The effects can vary depending on your power level, and frequency in chanting, also, you must put your heart into the spell, or it will not work."

"What do I have to say?" 'I'm ready for this.'

"'Ohnesly ri koh yo. Kohanotsu ora dol ye.' Repeat that until she is restored to full health."

"Do we have enough time?" When she noticed Kahori nod, she timidly began.

"Ohnesly ri koh yo. Kohanotsu ora dol ye. Ohnesly ri koh yo. Kohanotsu ora dol ye. Ohnesly ri koh yo. Kohanotsu ora dol ye. Ohnesly ri koh yo. Kohanotsu ora dol ye.." Kagome slowly said as Rin began to glow a bright yellow.

"Ohnesly ri koh yo. Kohanotsu ora dol ye.."

To everyone's surprise, a youkai came out of her stomach and was disintegrating in the light. Attempting a chance at life, the youkai screamed "Death be known to you, cursed mortal," as it slowly perished.

"Ohnesly ri koh yo. Kohanotsu ora dol ye. Ohnesly ri koh yo. Kohanotsu ora dol ye.."

Kagome stopped as Kahori laid a hand on her shoulder. "A death youkai. They are meant to pick slowly at the heart, and eat away at one's soul until death. Then they assume the body, and devour the hosts' soul. Rin has been placed under a curse I assume, but of my knowledge, these creatures are not well known for harboring use of such magic, they are not powerful enough. Some are capable though, which may require you to subject another spell, just to be safe," she whispered to Kagome.

Kagome's face wrinkled at this until Rin politely suggested they go outside and pick flowers. She looked at the young girl. "Are you sure that's the best thing to do right now? Maybe you should rest."

"I feel fine, lets go!" She said excitedly as she hopped out of her bed.

Kahori nodded. "I suppose we can, we have around an hour to do as you please. Although I also think you should rest a while longer.. what do you think Lord Sesshoumaru-Sama would say to this Rin?"

"Why not ask?"

Kahori gasped as she turned around. "Lord Sesshoumaru.."

".. Rin?"

She looked toward Rin. "I believe she is healed.. although the effects are temporary."

Kagome looked at Kahori 'What? Temporary?' She then looked at Sesshoumaru with a bemused gaze, which he ignored altogether.

"She is unable to tap into her full power with her memory as such, which is why you should train her to become mentally, and physically stronger."

Kahori took Kagome's hand in hers and walked to the side of Sesshoumaru, head facing the entrance, but tilted toward his ear. "Besides, she could also help you with your, other problem.." She whispered to him as she waved a hand toward Rin and said "Let's go Rin" before attempting to exit the room.

"Kahori" A slightly angry voice announced.

She turned around to face the direction of which it came, as Rin proceeded to drag Kagome out of the room. "Hai my lord?"

"Of which problem do you speak?"

Kahori started walking towards him. "The little score prince Harumi of the northern lands is trying to settle with you." She knew she could get away with almost anything she did around him. She'd been his friend for over two thousand years, since he was a young, young pup. Actually, he still was considered a pup.. just not a super young one, although he was indeed young compared to the other leaders.. and a lot of other youkai among them. Still, he was older then she.

Sesshoumaru glared at her. "How do you know of that? I have spoken to no-one about anything referring to thus."

"I heard you speaking of your problem a few days ago, and I think the miko can help you, if you allow her to that is.."

"Iie."

She looked at him as if he was crazed, but then remembered just whom she was looking at, and straightened her face. 'How am I supposed to convince him to let her stay without him receiving too much information? My master is far to smart.. he is quite capable of inferring words spoken to him. I must be very careful.'

Kahori noticed the look of impatience on her lord's face, and quickly began to stabilize her reasoning. "Lord Sesshoumaru, Rin will not get better under her conditions. A youkai sworn to death has just left her body, leaving a terribly deadly poison behind. The poison must be purified out of her body, or she will die within due time an excruciatingly painful death. He has also cursed her, and I cannot be sure if this was a valid curse or not. If Rin dies, her soul will be devoured from the youkai, which is only able to feed off of innocent, guilt-free souls.. and if they are conceived, the youkai will inherit unbelievable powers, and will go after Kagome, and myself. Do you wish to face yet another hardship? All of this can be easily avoided with your cooperation." She noticed a little anger in her master's expression. She just couldn't believe how dense he could be sometimes.

"Iie."

Kaori thought this over. 'How can I make him change his mind?' She looked at him once more.

"What if you could not destroy Prince Harumi without the accompaniment of her power? Are you really this arrogant? Even one with strength such as yours needs help with some things. Please consider my words." She resisted the urge to sigh at her master's smugness.

"Very well then."

Kahori blinked. Her master accepted her proposition! She knew he didn't do it exactly for her reasoning.. maybe he was just tired of her talking so he abided.. didn't matter.. he'd accepted. 'One step closer..'

"She will be in the western dojo tomorrow morning my lord, armed and ready."

As Kahori's words were spoken, Sesshoumaru left the room. Kahori also left soon after, and preceded to the gardens. They still had around half-an-hour to play around before Kagome and Rin were expected at dinner, although she highly doubted her lord was going to attend. He rarely ever ate, and when he did, she was not present.

Miroku was once again served a heaping load of freshly ground dirt. 'I swear, his hands are going to kill him someday..'

"Sango, I'm rreeaallyy hungry. We haven't eaten in nearly two days." Shippou complained.

This was true. Anytime Miroku wasn't scamming someone for food, Kagome would cook for them all. Without her there, nobody was left to cook. Sango didn't know how to cook very well, Shippou knew less then her, and Miroku actually knew more then Sango, which was still quite limited, and Kirara was only good for catching the food. All in all, it wouldn't have been the same anyways.

"This is hopeless. How are we going to find her if we know not which way to look? We have no clue as to what Sesshoumaru is making her do, nor do we have any clue as to where he's taken her."

"Maybe I can help."

Sango, Miroku, Shippou, and Kirara turned around at the voice. They were awestruck at what they saw.

"I am Kahori, goddess of fate. I understand your problems, and I wish to help. Are you not in search of Lord Sesshoumaru's castle?"

Miroku jumped at the chance to answer her question. "Ah, my fair lady, you have such beauty. We are very lost, and frankly don't mind the accompaniment of you."

"Monk, I will not be accompanying you on your travels, thus I will guide you to your destination."

Sango was confused. "How can you aide us without accompanying us?"

"I shall transport you to where you need to be to find his castle, and I shall not be helping any further. You are expected at the castle in precisely 52 hours and 34 minutes. The journey should take you that long."

Miroku was confused now. "Wait, they are expecting us? Sango, from my understanding, you said they weren't to know of this, am I correct?" She nodded. "How can they be expecting us in 52 hours if we are supposedly un-announced guests?"

"Monk, your questions irritate me. Did you not hear me say I was the goddess of fate? I know of the events to come before anyone else does, and you still question me?"

"Gomen my lady, please, continue."

Kahori used a bit of forceful magic to dispel the troublesome monk away from her. He was a bit to close, and she saw exactly what he wanted to do.

"Monk, who do you take me for? Do you still not understand that I see what you are scheming? How dare you even think of touching the untouchable!" Kahori harshly threatened.

Sango stepped up now. "Excuse his less then appropriate behavior. Anyway, what were you about to say?"

"I will send you off to where his castle is located, for no human, or youkai alike can get there on his own. From there, you will encounter a barrier that may be quite powerful, and shall take you all day to get through. Further on, you shall encounter a sky youkai, which you will need to slay in order to presume further. You will approach a gate, you will be invisible to the guards, and the doors will open. Once you get to the castle entrance, Sora will open the doors and you shall pass. Jaken may be some trouble, but nothing major. From my understanding, Lord Sesshoumaru and Kagome-Sama will be busy. She is not hurt, do not worry."

Shippou was confused. "Can I go too? I wanna see Kagome."

"Of course, although don't be too alarmed of anything that should happen. This is all good." She paused. "I believe I shall take my leave." With that, all of them were engulfed in a deep indigo light. When the light faded, they noticed they were in front of a portal in a forest they'd never seen before. Sango noticed Kahori was no longer with them.

"Well, I guess we should be on our way. We are 'expected' in a little more then two days." With that, they were off.

¸.·´¸.·´¨) ¸.·¨….. ¸.·´¸.·´¨) ¸.·¨

"Kahori-Sama, over here!" Rin greeted happily.

Kagome and Rin had been taking in the garden for around ten minutes now. Kagome couldn't believe how much the little girl could talk, and she was surprised at how much she knew at such a young age. She clearly knew a lot about gardening, math, and science. Her grammar was tolerable.. it just needed upgrading.

Kahori walked over to the black bench her friends were sitting at, and sat down in-between Kagome and Rin.

"What were you two talking about back there?" Kagome softly whispered to her.

"Nothing, although I did convince him to train you. This will help you strengthen you mental and physical power. I do not think he knows much of a miko's power, so I shall help you with that."

"Oh, how long do I have to stay here? I really miss my family, and they must be worried."

Kahori looked as if she were thinking. "I know not the answer you seek, although I suppose you should stay for four months at least. How did you get here to begin with? As you have said, you are a little over five-hundred years in the future,"

Kagome looked confused. "I thought you brought me here. Please tell me you brought me here!" She saw Kahori slightly shake her head, and she began to weep. "Do you mean I will never be able to see my family again?"

"This I do not know. We cannot worry about this for a long time, there are more important matters concerning yourself."

"How much time do we have before we are expected at dinner? I am getting a little hungry.." Kagome blushed as her stomach growled in conformation.

"We have around twenty minutes. It may take us a little while to get to the dinning hall, but we still have a little time."

Rin somehow popped up behind them and suggested they play a game. Both Kagome and Kahori agreed and they all thought about what they should play.

"I know, let's play tag! That's always a fun game to play." She noticed the two in front of her staring with confused expressions. "You've never heard of tag? Oh boy.. let me see. Okay, first we choose a tagger, that's the person who tries to catch the runners, the people running away from the tagger. If you get tagged, you become the new tagger. There's always a safety spot.. let's say it's that big tree behind this bench. If you touch that, you are safe from being tagged, although the tagger can say 'one, two, three.. get off my fathers apple tree,' and you are automatically it if you are still touching the tree when they get done saying it. Kahori, you can't use your 'youkai speed' thing just to make it fair. Wanna play?"

Kahori and Rin both nodded their heads, and they began to play. With their luck, Kahori ended up being the tagger, and they started chasing each other.

Kahori noticed Kagome running toward the tree she said was 'safe' and was trying to recall the phrase she chanted. 'What was it.. something about getting off an apple tree. Wait!'

"One, two three.. get off my fathers apple tree!" She said excitedly. Kagome had reluctantly released the tree, and was running towards Rin's direction, who seemed to be running toward the huge flower garden. "Betcha can't catch me Kahori-Sama!" She yelled. "Just watch me," Kahori retorted playfully.

She started to run faster as she admitted Rin was quite fast for a young mortal girl. As she was still toying with her, she waited a few more minutes before getting close enough to tag her. "Yes, told you I could get you Rin!" she teased.

"Watch out Kagome-Sama, you're next!" Rin said out of breath.

"Maybe in a little while, we need to get to dinner as of now." She heard a soft 'awwww' from Rin and smiled.

"Let's be off." With that, they all exited the garden and proceeded to go to the dinning hall.

When they got there, around seven minutes later, Kagome gasped at the size of the room, and gasped again at how wonderful the food looked at the table.

"Where do we all sit?" Kagome asked.

"You and Rin may sit anywhere but in the head chair. That is where Sesshoumaru-Sama will sit if he decides to accompany you."

Kagome nodded. "Where will you sit?" She asked, noticing the look of surprise on her friends face.

"I am but a servant, I cannot eat with you. I shall wait outside until you are finished, you may do as you wish, although I suggest you get some rest. I shall come to wake you early tomorrow so you shall be ready for when Sesshoumaru arrives."

'Okay, does this place have a library? Maybe I can find some books in math and science, just to help me study. If I have to disappear from my world, I want to at least re-appear smart, and not brain-drained." Kagome said, mostly to herself.

Kahori nodded and agreed to show her when they were finished eating. As she took her leave, Kagome and Rin sat down and started to eat.

¸.·´¸.·´¨) ¸.·¨….. ¸.·´¸.·´¨) ¸.·¨

As Harumi stalked towards her, like a predator coming at his prey, Kayomi could feel the fear grow inside. She knew she had made a mistake when she hit him, but she had lost the self-control that she had worked so hard to maintain. She didn't know quite what came over her, but something had hit a sore spot, whether it was with his words, his actions or both she didn't know, but now it didn't matter.

She was still dazed from the impact with the wall, and could not move fast enough to get away from Harumi, but then she knew trying to do so would have only made matters far worse than they already were. Still, if she could have run with any hope of escape, she would have, rather than lie against the wall, her fear continuing to grow by the second, and doing her best to not let it show.

Of course, she knew that it was useless, as she was never good a masking her scent. Her parents would have taught her that skill, unfortunately, they had not lived long enough for her to learn that valuable ability, and Harumi preferred that she not be able to hide anything from him. The way he treated her, possessed her, owned her, made her feel sick. In truth, however, it was not his actions that made her feel that way, as much as it was the thrill that it seemed to give her on some level that even she didn't understand.

Before she could do more that shake her dazed head, he was on her. Harumi grabbed her by the hair and proceeded to drag her out of the room and down the hall. She thought at first that he was headed in the direction of his bedchambers, however, she was proven wrong when he stopped short of those particular doors, and slide open another set of doors. These doors lead to a room that he had forbidden her to ever enter on pain of death. Now she truly felt the fear growing in her belly, and almost quake with it despite her best efforts to keep the growing terror at bay.

The darkness beyond those doors was the first thing to greet her senses, followed almost immediately by the smell of old dried blood and the stench of death. Just with her sense of smell alone she could tell that this room was not general used for the pleasure of those who entered. Well, all except for one being that is.

With the continued growth of her fear, the dazed pain in her head was almost forgotten, and she began to struggle against the hold he had on her. As he slowed his forward progress, she reached up and clawed viciously at his hands, trying to get him to let go of her. Instead of getting him to let her go, he yanked her closer to him, and grabbing her wrists, pulled her up to stand on her shaking legs.

"You will learn my pet," he grinned evilly to her, "to never raise a hand to me, or defy me."

Before she could do more than whimper in fear, he backhanded her once more. This time the blow nearly knocked her unconscious. As she fought to regain her senses, she could feel her arms being roughly yanked behind her and her wrist bound together. She was roughly shoved forward, even further into the dark room, and felt the scrapes to her skins as her clothing was ripped brutally from her body, and she was thrown upon a cold stone platform.

The strong scent of old blood only became stronger, and before she could fully regain her awareness, she felt her bound wrists being yanked up until she felt like her arms were going to be pulled out of their sockets. Her legs were spread and she could feel the bite of cold chains being pulled across her bare skin, as manacles were fixed to her thighs to keep them where they were placed.

"Comfortable my pet?" Harumi's sinister voice came from the darkness. There was a slight huskiness to the pitch and despite the pain in her shoulders, head, and legs; Kayomi could feel a shiver run down her spine. Even though she fought to keep from letting out a moan at the sound of Harumi's voice, she could not stop the wetness that was already beginning to dampen her nether regions.

Was it his voice? Was it the fear? Was it the pain, or just the anticipation of what he intended? She didn't know, and was afraid to ask herself. She had known he much of her life. As nothing much more than a spoil of war, she had been too young to know any other life but the one that he painted for her. Why despite her hatred of him, did she find his actions seemed to excite he in the most arousing ways?

"Hmmm! What is that I scent my dear?" Harumi breathed into her ear, another shiver rushing down her spine. Again she fought the urge to moan so that he might hear her. "It would seem that you enjoy this. What else do you find exciting my pet?"

"First, I think we should shed some light on this matter," Harumi intoned, an even more sinister quality to his voice than just a moment ago, "Yes, I would like to see more of my artistic expressions as I teach you the art of humility, my sweet."

With a wave of his hand, a number of foul smelling torches flared to life around the room. Although she could not raise her head very high, she could see just enough to note that the walls were all black, and that the smell of old blood was because the floor and parts of the walls were covered in it. The room had a number of 'decorations', however, they were not to Kayomi's liking, for she knew what they were used for. Her terror continued to grow as she pictured his use of the various items she could see, on her now helpless form.

"Ah, I see that you are enjoying my choice of artistic tools," was the evilly chuckled response to the fear that was etched on her face. Harumi loved seeing the fear that Kayomi's face reflected when he had complete control over her. Just seeing it made him hard enough to be painful. This would be so entertaining, and he planned on being quite thorough in his lesson this time.

"Before I get started," he said, as he came around to the front of the platform he had her bound to, "I think I need to relieve a little stress. Yes, just to take the edge off, and then I will begin to truly enjoy our little lesson for today."

With that said, he knelt upon the platform right in front of her. Grabbing her hair, he yanked her head up so that she could see how painfully aroused he was already. She refused to give into him so easily, however, and clenched her jaws shut, knowing what he wanted from her.

With a wicked chuckle, he yanked forward on her hair, pulling forward on her enough to almost pull her shoulders out of place. As she screamed at the pain that burned through her shoulders, he forced himself into her now open mouth, and before she could do more than groan in pain, he slammed his aroused length deep down her protesting throat.

He was not kind, nor even remotely gentle, but rather rough, and harsh. Again and again, he slammed himself forward into her mouth, making her swallow him every time. The groans that issued from him, despite the pain, had her own nether regions weeping down her legs. To her everlasting shame she could feel the tears coursing down her face, as she cried. Cried, not because of the torture she was being put through, but because of the fact that on some level she found she liked it.

It seemed like and eternity, but was only a matter of moments before she felt him shudder and his hot seed fill her mouth. Even as she swallowed the seemingly endless stream, he groan in satisfaction, and pulled away.

"Very good my pet," he growled in pleasure, "perhaps there is some hope for you yet. Let us see.. hmmmmm, how shall we proceed with your lesson? Hmmm! Ah, I know."

With that, he let go of her head, and stepped off the platform and away from her for a moment. She could hear him moving around the room, but was not able to turn her head enough to follow all of his actions. Within moments he was back, but chose not to come around to where she could see him. Instead, he once more climbed upon the platform, but this time he was not kneeling. Instead, he was behind her, and before she could do more than gasp, she found her world shrouded in darkness once more. She could feel his hands as they bighted a blindfold of the blackest silk over her eyes.

He moved away from her again, and chuckled huskily as he heard her whimper at the sound of him pulling one of the items she had seen on the wall from its resting place. This particular one tended to be one of his favorites, not just because of the immediate pain that it brought to his 'pets', but also because of the lingering pain that followed after. Harumi had learned long ago that a bit of leather, soaked in brine not only left a good bleeding welt, but that the salt from the brine tended to burn almost as much as fire, but without the smell of seared flesh to permeate the air.

Not that he found that smell particularly distasteful, but in some instances that tended to be adverse to the desired effects that he achieve. This was one of those times, when the results would be more effective with less drastic means. For now he set the whip aside in the bowl of brine that was always kept ready for just this purpose, and once more he approached his waiting victim.

The scent of her fear and arousal in the air, had him painfully hardened once more, and he looked forward to the night's activities. Perhaps, just maybe, if she pleased him enough, he might show her a bit of mercy. Yes, maybe he would be a bit generous. There might be some advantages to being such.

Kayomi could no longer hold back the terror that was clouding her mind. She didn't know what Harumi was going to do to her, and the fear of not knowing was more paralyzing that she had thought possible. She screamed in her fear, when she suddenly felt his clawed hand grab her right breast. The action being unexpected, left her almost breathless in her anguish.

At first the caress was gentle, but within moments it was not just rough, but painful, as he dug his claws into the sensitive flesh of her nipples, as he pulled and twisted them harshly. She could feel the hot trails of blood that ran over her skin, and cried out in pain at the action.

Soon he was once more on the platform, and straddling her from behind. He leaned over her, and grabbed both her breasts, digging his claws into her nipples, twisting, pulling and pinching them hard. With no regard to how she was strapped to the platform or the position of her arms, he pulled her back up towards him, earning another scream of pain as her arms were further stressed, and her breasts both were now bleeding from the various scratches that his claws were gouging out of her flesh.

Just as she thought for sure that he would rip her arms off, he dug his claws in hard, and shifting his position slightly, he rammed his swollen length deep into her rear passage. The scream of pain that filled the room, and echoed off of the walls, left her breathless and him groaning in pleasure. Without waiting for her to adjust to the unexpected intrusion, he pulled back, and once more gripping her breast painfully, using them as a means of holding onto his prey, he rammed hard again until he was buried to the hilt deep in her tight rear passage.

With a speed that only youkai could manage, he ruthlessly plunged again, and again into the tight depths. The feel of her tightening, pain racked, muscles and the blood that ran down his legs as he slammed into over and over again, only made him even more hard and aroused. Letting go of her breasts, he grabbed her hair again, yanked back on her head, until he could run his lips over the edge of her ear.

"So hot, so tight," he growled breathlessly, "please me well my pet, and I might reward you."

With his hot breath caressing her ear, and the pain in her passage easing, Kayomi once more found herself shuddering in a pleasure that she had never expected to feel, didn't want to feel, could not help but feel. What had she become? Why did this kind of torture turn her on? What had Harumi turned her into?

Despite her best efforts, she could no longer hold back the groan that seemed to crawl from her very depth and forced its way out of her chest, throat, and mouth. She could feel the tightening of her own muscles and the heat of her own arousal burned a deep-seated fire in her own loins. She wanted him to bring her to completion, and found herself begging him to drive into harder and faster as she sought her burning release.

She was to be disappointed however, almost painfully so, as Harumi roared his own release spilling his seed for a second time, as he poured his hot essence into her tight, burning rear passage. She panted breathlessly, whimpering with a need she had never known possible. To her shame, he only laughed at her, as he let go of her leaving her to hang in her bounds, painfully aroused and hopelessly in need.

"What do you want Kayomi?" he asked her lustily, "Beg and I might be generous. Plead and I just might give you what you want. Grovel and I just might be kind."

She wanted so badly for him to touch her, to bring her to the edge of her own passionate release, but she would die in the seven levels of hell before she would grovel for him. In defiance she shook her head in denial, still panting breathlessly in painful need. She could not relieve herself, and Harumi knew this. She could feel the heat of his body, as he stood so close, but just out of reach and refusing to touch her.

"Still defiant my little bitch," he laughingly growled, "Good! I like our little game and it would be a shame to end it too soon, don't you think?" She could hear the smack of his lips, as he sucked the blood from her breasts off of his fingers, and the lustful chuckle that followed. "Hmm! How good you taste my pet. Your fear makes your taste all the sweeter. Hmm! I think more is definitely called for."

She could hear the dripping of water on the floor, as she felt him move away and the sound of the same item she had heard him remove from the wall almost seemed loud enough to deafen her. A sharp whistle split the air, and the pain of something long, thin, and wet met the skin of her rounded and exposed backside. Within seconds the sting of whatever had hit her, burned like her skin was on fire, and she could feel the blood running down her legs.

She fought not to scream. Biting her lip to keep from doing so, but still a whimper of pain escaped her. Again that whistle came. This time she knew what to expect, and as she tense in anticipation of the impact, she could feel the burning pain as yet another long lash opened up on her posterior.

"Count for me my pet," came the husky, heated command. Harumi's eyes nearly glowed in the dim torchlight as he brought the whip around yet again, the sight of her quivering flesh, and the smell of her fear, blood, and arousal making him dizzy with desire and lust. "Count, now or you will regret not heeding my orders, my sweet pet. Count for me, and show your gratitude for the gift I am giving you. Show me the pleasure that this brings you."

Despite her desire to continue to defy him, at the next impact of what she now knew to be a whip, she screamed out the count of the blow. With each one another bleeding gash was torn open on her rear cheeks, and the hot trails of blood ran down her legs. She shamelessly cried with each scream, and by the time he had reach the count of ten, she was almost too hoarse to find a voice to count with.

To her relief her actions seemed to please her Lord and Master, for she now understood that, that was what Harumi truly was. To her everlasting shame, with each blow, she had found herself becoming more and more aroused, and with the last whistling arc in the air, she could feel the rush of her own essence mixing with her blood, as her body arched in her own almost violent release.

When she came down from the shuddering that had ripped through her tortured body, she hung limp and panting from her bounds. She barely had the strength to lift her head, let alone anything else, and she only hoped that Harumi was finished with his 'artistic lesson'. To her dismay, however, she soon found that he was not quite done.

"Now my pet," he growled huskily in her ear. To her surprise another shudder of arousal raced down her spine bring the heat of fire back to her nether regions once more. "Let us see just how well you have learned your lesson."

He came around once more to the front of the platform, and she could feel the heat of his body, as he knelt down in front of her once again. She was sure that he would repeat his previous maneuver, however, to her surprise he reached up and removed the bounds the kept her arms pulled up behind her.

She almost sobbed in relief, as she leaned her shaking body into him for the support that she could no longer find in her own muscles. Her relief was only further enhanced as he completely removed the bounds from her wrists, letting her bring her arms around to her front once more. He left her to lean over, with her face on the once again blood covered platform, as he stepped down and removed the manacles that held her legs apart.

Harumi then lifted her blood dripping form from the platform and carried her over to a door that lay almost hidden in a far corner of the room. Once there, he quickly pushed through it, and she felt herself being laid on something soft and welcomed the soft feeling of fabric on her abused and bleeding skin. It was not to last however, as she was soon lifted once more and could feel herself being lowered into the steaming waters of what she knew to be a hot spring.

Harumi's palace while not easily accessible, had many luxuries and advantages. One of the most prized was the hot springs that came from deep within the nearby mountain, and had been expertly channeled into the fortified estate many centuries ago, by its original founder.

At first the hot water burned almost as much as the salt had, but soon it eased some of the pain of the wounds she now sported, and she could not help but sigh in relief. She still didn't have enough strength to lift her arms, let alone use her hands to remove the blindfold that covered her. She could only lie limp and let him do as he pleased. On some level she was not happy with this, yet on another she found something satisfying in being so completely dominated.

He lay her back against one of the many moss covered bathing stones that were a part of the hot springs and carefully placed for the convenience of the bathers. Letting the hot water ease the pain of lashes of the whip to her backside, he focused his attention on her breasts.

'Hmmm! Yes, those twin luscious mounds and the still running sweet taste of her blood,' came the growled thought from his own blood beast. Harumi was not one of those youkai who fought to keep his blood beast in check. No, he tended to like the more sinister nature of that side of himself, and had no problems with letting him out whenever the desire suited.

The same sadistic pleasures that he took delight in, he found that his blood beast also enjoyed. As they both tended to agree often, it was not a problem to him to let his beast have control that many other youkai would not take advantage of. Currently, his beast wanted to further feast upon the blood and flesh of Kayomi's hot blood and other parts.

Now that she was properly submissive, he would let his beast enjoy some additional pleasure, while rewarding her for pleasing him so well. With that he reached up and removed the blindfold, as he lowered his head to her still bleeding nipples and ran his hot tongue along the damage that his claws had created.

Being youkai herself, some of the injuries were already healing, but with the attention of his healing saliva, the process was further speeded along. Soon she was moaning beneath him, and despite her wounds, she was writhing once more under his touch. This time, he would take his pleasure while giving it in a more gentle way. He took great pleasure from the pain of others, but he could be gentle as well, if he so desired. Taking Kayomi by force, and the gentling her afterwards would only further bind her to him, in ways that she never even suspected.

She would long for him to touch her, and crave his attention. He would have her begging for him to torture her again, just so that he would gift her with his kindness afterwards. She would be his submissive little pet bitch, and he could take his pleasure from her in anyway he chose.

"Onegai," Kayomi found herself panting breathlessly. The fire in her blood once again consuming her with a passion that screamed for release. She needed that release so badly and this time she was not too proud to beg the devil hovering over her to give it to her, "Onegai..."

"Onegai what my pet?" came the almost equally breathless reply, "What do you desire my sweet pet?"

"T-t-t-ake me, onegai," she sobbed in need.

"Who do you belong to?" he demanded heatedly.

"You," she almost whispered, her desperation for release beginning to be painful, as he trailed a hand down between her legs, and slipped three fingers hard, and fast into her hot, drenched folds.

"And who am I to you?" he growl in command, grabbing her hair once more and yanking her head back, exposing her throat. He growled in satisfaction at her submissive whimper, but didn't ease his hold on her until she answered him. He continued to thrust his fingers into her hot, tight passage, easing only when he could feel her reaching her peak, and the picking up the pace again, as her shuddering would ease up.

"Answer me! Now!" he yanked again, commanding her full submission.

"Harumi-sama, my Master," she sobbed, trying to arch her hips up into the hand that he so skillfully used to keep her at the edge of the aching need she craved so badly.

At those words, he grabbed both of her thighs; pushing them so far apart she was sure he was about to split her in two. Without a moment's hesitation, he plunged his hardened length hard and deep into her hot and writhing passage. The pain of her need, and his desire for his own release pushing aside all other considerations.

Mercilessly, he pounded into her, ramming his rock hard length deeper and deeper with each thrust. The heady mix of pleasure and pain had Kayomi screaming her passion with every thrust and begging him for more. She cried out in despair when he pulled completely out of her long before she could find her own release, but she sobbed in relief when he turned her around and positioned her so that he could enter her in what was a more natural way for an inuyoukai.

Once he had her back facing him, he slammed even harder and without warning into her hot, writhing passage. He grabbed her hair, yanking her up so that her back was against his chest, as he rammed his length into her hot sheath again, and again. Soon he could feel the tightening of her writhing muscles signally that she was soon to reach her peak, and he quickened his pace, determined to reach his own peak as well.

Digging the claws of his free hand into her hip, he pulled her back almost violently impossibly slamming himself harder and deeper into her writhing form. She could feel him hitting that one spot deep in her womb that sent sparks of fire racing up her spine and blurred her vision as she convulsed and screamed her release so that all could hear.

The vice like clamping of her muscular sheath, around his pulsing length sent Harumi over his own peak, and his roar of satisfaction filled the air along with her screams. He fought the urge to bite her neck and leave her with a mark of claim. She was just his pet, nothing more. He would not grace such as she with his claim. She was his tool, and possession, to do with as he pleased. She was not worthy of his claim as a mate. He would not claim as a mate, the slut that he had made her, but he would make sure that she fed his need whenever he desired. She was a good slut, and a satisfying one at that, even if he had to beat the bitch until she bleed.

Both fell limp with the aftermath of their activities. Kayomi losing consciousness, as exhaustion took its toll on her tortured form, and Harumi only just able to carry her back to his bedchambers before collapsing under the covers with her next to him. The night was still not over, and there was plenty of time to rest and relieve his lustful craze again before dawn broke with the morn.

Harumi lay on top of Kayomi exasperated, and out of breath. Now Kayomi's words were true to speak, he had indeed forced himself on her, although this was the first time. He noticed her scent of enragement was long gone and decided to speak.

"Do you still wish to hear of my plans, although if I tell you, you must agree to help, or you will die."

Kayomi thought. 'Hmm.' She noticed his look of impatience and nodded. "Hai."

Harumi smiled and got off her, and sat up beside her. "Well, that bastard Inu Taisho, he sealed off the only entrance to the forest of enchantment where the sword of purity lies. With that sword, we would have been able to gain possession of all the land the lord's reign over by destroying all the impure who do not possess the sword. Of course, my father was infuriated with this and sought after that insolent beings life. They fought it out, and both deceased under the others power. In the end, the forests entrance was never found again, and the sword still lies in the very spot it lay those many centuries ago. That is one among many reasons I have to slay them."

Kayomi sat confused. "What does this have to do with you, and are you willing to tell me the rest?" She heard him growl low in his throat, and wondered if she should've asked those questions.

"I seek the sword father never had a chance to find. I also seek the lives of his descendents, and anyone associated with them. They may find out about the sword, and find it. I cannot let this happen. In forty-four days, I shall come after them, or to be truthful, they shall come after me. I will destroy them when they arrive. I also must say, when they arrive, a surprise they most certainly will not be fond of shall be waiting for them." He smirked at his last words spoken. "As for the other reasons, for now, I shall keep them to myself."

Kayomi didn't quite understand his reasoning. Maybe it was a Inu thing, for Harumi and his father were also Taiinuyoukai, although Sesshoumaru and his father were stronger.

"Just how do you plan to kill them? From my understanding, Sesshoumaru has grown stronger than his father, and he has that miko girl with him as of now."

Harumi nodded. "You shall see."

Kagome and Rin had finished eating dinner and Kahori was walking them to Rin's quarters to get her in bed. It was getting late.

They walked down a narrow hallway, and up a set of stairs similar to the one's Kagome and Kahori had taken to get to the bathing room. When they exited the hallway, they were greeted by the hallway Kagome and Rin's rooms were located.

Rin started to run to her room and whispered 'goodnight' to her friends before sliding the door shut.

"Ya know what Kahori, I'm really tired, I'm just gonna go to bed okay? If Sesshoumaru-Sama doesn't kill me while we're training, maybe I'll go to the library then." Kahori nodded, and the two departed.

Kagome went into her assigned room and opened the closet and found a sleeping kimono, which she changed into and headed for the futon. She lay down and stared out the large window as she hummed a tune softly as she drifted to sleep.

¸.·´¸.·´¨) ¸.·¨….. ¸.·´¸.·´¨) ¸.·¨

Sesshoumaru had been in his study thinking when he'd heard a gently song being hummed most likely by that one miko, who he couldn't seem to remember the name of, not that he cared.

'That song.. my mother use to sing me that same song to get me to go to sleep when I was little.'

He sat back in his chair and listened as the melody began to slowly fade.
