Ch.2 new friends and lies
Sakura's POV
I sat up in my bed, staring at the plain gray walls of our room for the millionth time in the past twenty-four hours since Kyo went on her mission. I sighed as I reached over and grabbed a brush. I started brushing my long auburn hair, being careful not to scratch my matching, floppy, dog ears with the brush's bristles.
Where is she? I thought as I finished bushing my hair and started to brush the long fur on my tail, I thought she would be back by now.
I looked over at the others. Minei was lying on her side on top of her bed, tapping her nails against the mattress. Sona was sitting criss-crossed on the floor with her black and white cat tail on her lap.
" Hey, Minei, here," I said tossing the brush over to her, she caught it without looking up, " With that bushy fox tail, you need it more than I ever will."
" Humph, you know, you didn't have to add the offending remark." Minei replied, side glancing at me.
" Sorry, I'm just a little bored, I guess." I sighed. Minei just ignored me and proceeded to brush her tail.
The sound of the heavy metal door to the room opening caused the others and I to jump to our feet. We all smiled in relief that Kyo had finally come back. The door swung open and revealed the person coming through the door. Our smiles faded when the image of Kyo walking in, smirking, was replaced when Smash walked with a displeased look on his face.
" Oh, sir! We didn't expect you." Sona said quickly. Minei bit her lip worryingly. My eyes glanced back and forth between the three of them. Smash looked at her with angry eyes.
" Really, who were you expecting… Kyo! Well you shouldn't expect her anytime soon, or rather you shouldn't expect her ever again!" he growled.
" What's that supposed to mean?" Minei said slightly raising her voice.
" It means exactly how it sounds, fox. Our little Kyo…is dead." Smash said glumly but there was a strange gleam in his eyes. I saw Sona's face pale, and Minei's eyes clouded with disbelief.
" HOW!" I yelled bluntly
" By the enemy of course," He answered disturbingly calm, " That means that I don't have an attack dog anymore." He continued, walking toward me. When he was close enough he swiftly reached out wrapped his hand around my jaw and forced eye contact. " I guess that means I'll just have to train my little house pet real hard to become a big, bad, doggy." he said with a twisted smile.
He roughly released my face and quickly walked out of the room, shutting the door behind him. We all stood there, dumbfounded for about ten minutes. When it finally sunk in what I had been told I ran out, slamming the door. I ran through the long hallways of the base. I kept running until I almost reached the edge of the gardens. I stared into the distance with an emotionless face, even as the tears flowed down my face.
" Hey, dog! Smash said he wants you in the advanced training room, stat!" shouted one of our guards as he came to lead to the said room. I looked towards the ground and sighed, breathing in the smell of the flowers. As I turned I smelt a different scent, a familiar scent. My eyes narrowed as I followed the guard.
Someone's going to pay, AND SOON! I thought as we neared the training room.
Kyo's POV
I groaned as I regained consciousness. I felt like I had gone to hell and back again. I assumed I was back in our room.
" Sakura? Sis, where are you?" I mumbled, rubbing my eyes.
" Oh, so you can talk. Who's Sakura?" a young voice asked me. I shot up and looked around. This wasn't our room.
" Sit still for a minute, ok. I'll be right back." A boy with golden eyes, a few years younger than me said as he ran out the door. He returned with three other men.
Wait, it's them! I thought as I stared at them.
" Oh, so you're awake. I'm Hakkai." A brunette with green eyes introduced himself, " This is Goku…" he said pointing to the boy from before, " this is Sanzo…" he continued pointing at blonde man with a stern glare, " and this is Gojyo." He finished, pointing at the man of my dreams. (Quite literally .U )
" M-my name's K-Kyo. Where am I?" I stammered as I eased myself on my shoulder.
" You're in a town's inn!" Goku answered playfully.
" What am I doing here! Oh man, he's gonna kill me for sure this time!" I yelled as I tried to jump up off the bed, but ended up grabbing my side as one of the severe whip wounds re-opened.
" Hold it there, little missy, I just fixed that, ya know. Now, who would kill you, that man from before?" Gojyo asked while pushing my chest, forcing me to lie back down.
" I'm not even allowed past the gardens! The punishment for going past there without permission is death!" I explained worryingly.
" Don't worry so much, we won't let 'im get ya. Ya don't have to go back. " Goku reassured.
" I have nowhere else to go." I sighed.
" Sanzo! Sanzo! Can she come with us! Please! Please!" Goku chanted, jumping up and down behind Sanzo.
" Hell no!" Sanzo yelled, smacking Goku with a fan. My ears quickly drooped.
" Why not? If she can cook, let's keep her!" Goku whined loudly.
" No! I don't want some random demon to come along with us! She doesn't even have power limiters on!" Sanzo yelled, pointing at me.
" Um… excuse me, but I'm only half-demon, thank you. I'm not even really sure why I have a wolf tail and ears." I interrupted. Gojyo's head jerked in my direction.
" Half-demon? Why was that guy keeping you there anyway?" Gojyo asked.
" Well, when I was four, he saw me and my sisters playing outside. He thought we were full-demon. So he went and talked to our mother, but when she told him that we were only half, they started arguing. My sisters…" I would have finished the sentence if the tears hadn't started flowing down my face. No matter how much I looked in my memory, I couldn't remember my sisters, all they we in my mind were a few blurry figures that I don't even know if they're alive or not, I paused for a moment then continued, " My sisters grabbed my hand without stopping and we ran to our secret hiding spot in the woods. A gunshot caused me to go back.
When I reached the house, I saw my mother on the steps, lying in a pool of blood. I tried to run to her, but he grabbed my arm. I was too little to know he killed her. He put me in some sort of large cage. Soon after, my sisters were found and joined me in the cage. He told us that we belonged to him now, that we were to be trained as weapons, and he kept to his word. He trained me the most saying that I was stronger than the others." I said as I tried to wipe away the tears.
" Wow, all that really happened?" Goku said in a hushed voice.
" Yea. Well, on a normal day he would make me do all sorts of chores, like cleaning the entire base and cook for about fifty of our guards and do laundry. After that he would chain me up and force me to fight about six or seven demons at a time. As one would expect, I have a lot of scars. If there were any trespassers, he would chain me up to the gates and make me guard the base." I finished as the tears started to dry up a bit.
" Sanzo, she's been through a lot, let her tag along for awhile. She could really help us you know." Hakkai silently whispered to Sanzo, thinking I couldn't hear. (Wolf hearing is awesome!)
" Fine, she can come! But everyday she has to cook and every other day she does laundry, your clothes are NASTY!" Sanzo replied.
" Well, you say the word, I'm at your command for helping me." I spat out. I would have normally killed myself before saying something like that. But I just HAD to know more about Gojyo.
" So, now you're like a servant to us now?" Goku asked.
" It seems so." I replied. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Gojyo elbow Hakkai in the side.
" Gojyo!" Hakkai shrieked.
" I can't help it, look at her. I know that's her, the girl I saved in my dream. I told you about it." Gojyo whispered, also thinking I couldn't hear him. (Duh! Guys! Come on! I know you're smarted than to think you keep something secret with someone with animal ears in the room! UGH!) I just pretended I couldn't hear them by stretching and giving a big yawn.
" Wow! You have some sharp looking teeth!" Goku exclaimed.
" Oh yeah, I guess I do." I supposed.
" Hey, let's go play!" Goku suggested, grabbing my arm and almost dragged me outside before anyone could say anything. (Not much of a suggestion, was it?)
Well that's it for chapter 2. Review and tell me what you think… just no flames. You can tell me how to make it better in any way you want…with the exception of a grammar lesson. (English is my LEAST favorite class!) Oh, and the little parts with (….) around them were things I just HAD to put in there, sorry if they're annoying. Well, see ya next chappy!
