A Saturday morning and I get the chance to update. i would have done it yesterday when school was cancelled but for some reason wouldn't let me... anywho, I want to thank my lovely reviewers: TakaraDaiya, SnowFox13, Tajiya85, FaereRhiannon, ms.deep, and Nightfall2525. I bow down to you for the reviews. I'll stop my yapping and just get on with the chapter.

Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha and what not…

Chapter 56

Morning came and everyone was up. InuYasha was raring to go while wiped the sleepiness from their eyes. An irritable Youkai Lord yelled at him for being to noisy and the morning started with an argument. Everything cooled down by early afternoon. InuYasha led the way with Kagome behind him. Miroku picked up the rear while Sango rode on Kirara while Sesshomaru rode on Jin. Sesshomaru was still healing but he didn't want to stay in one place. Of course, Kirara and Jin walked close to each other while they affectionately rubbed their heads together. Fubuki flew above everyone.

Naraku approached Mouko who was chained against the wall. They weren't in the cave but they where somewhere else. The chains yanked Mouko back. "Well… I'm surprised you managed to kill Kouji." Naraku stared at Mouko snarled. "Shida!" Naraku beckoned.

"Yes master?"

"Bring Kouji here."

"Yes master."

In a flash Kouji was alive again. Kouji got up from the ground and dusted himself off. He turned to see Mouko and he instantly rushed up to him and jabbed Mouko in the gut. Mouko spat up some blood and landed on his knees. "Why bring him back? I'll just kill him again." Mouko sneered.

"He knows the East well. Besides… I plan to start from scratch there… We're heading East." Naraku waved his hand. Mouko growled but Kouji kicked him down.

"I let you kill me so you would be weakened. It won't happen again."

Naraku cleared his throat. "You almost messed up my plan Mouko. You shall pay the consequences. Kouji, you know what to do. Don't get too carried away for we need him as bait…" Naraku left.

Shida stood there emotionlessly. Kouji cracked his knuckles. "Oh boy… Won't we have fun." Kouji grinned. "Hey Shida! Could you make me a whip?" She just stood there. "Well?"

"I only listen to master."

Kouji growled. "You better listen to me. I'll have you right after this is over." He grabbed her chin and made her look at him.

"I won't let you…" Mouko growled. Shida slowly directed her blank eyes at Mouko and tilted her head. Kouji noticed and he rushed up to Mouko again and punched him in the stomach once more but this time much harder.

"Stay down tiger!"

"Play along Shida…" Naraku's voice echoed through the chamber. Shida approached Kouji and he looked at her. She yanked a hair from him and transformed it into the whip that he requested. Kouji smiled.

"That's a girl." She handed it to him. He cracked it. "Nice… Very nice…" Kouji stepped closer to Mouko who glared up at him. "Get ready for hours of agonizing pain…" He chuckled.

It's been hours since Shida watched Kouji tortured Mouko. Kouji could only watch watched Mouko on his knees. He his bare chest had many gashes. His hair was out and it clobbed together with his blood. Mouko's breathed heavily as sweat trickled down his face. Mouko couldn't fight back much for he was chained to the wall. Kouji made Shida prevent him from moving.

"He can't take no more… He will die soon if you continue…" Shida stated.

Kouji kicked Mouko down once more and whipped him countless times. "We can't let that happen. I was having fun… Unless…"

"Look like you fun is over…" Mouko manage to whisper.

"Oh yeah?" Kouji raised his claw. Naraku appeared. "We're almost there. Get ready."

"You're very lucky. I would have made Shida heal you so the fun can continue. But it is time for me to show my face again." Naraku and Kouji left but Shida stood behind. She watched Mouko as he remained on his knees. She tilted her head. Deep down inside she felt something really wrong but she didn't know what. After a few minuets of standing there, she left.

Note:

I hope this scene didn't disturb you much. Does anybody feel bad for Mouko?

R&R if you can!
