Chapter 9
Pauru arrived back at the den. She ordered Kaori to stay with her. One of the male dragons came up to Pauru.
"My Lady, we have caught the half-demon and his son. We have also caught Tetsu. They are in the dungeon now. The half-demon is in the torture chamber."
"Good work, Hiseo. You did a good job."
"My Lady, I would like a gift in return."
"A gift? What gift?"
"Instead of selling the witch Kagome as a sex slave on the mainland, I would like her to be my sex slave."
"Upset because you think you are too ugly to get a mate, Hiseo.", she commented to the hideous looking dragon.
"Yes, my Lady. And she is a fine specimen. I would have fun with her."
"Fine. She is yours. Do with her as you wish.", Pauru said as she pushed passed the dragon. She headed to the dungeon where she encountered Inuyasha. He was weak and barely able to stand.
"So you had a run in with our demon nets, did you? It's obvious by the fact that your demon blood is barely there. You should be easy to overcome and make you our slave."
Inuyasha looked up and recognition spread across his face, "Kaori! You're alright!"
"Save your breath. She won't recognize you. She is under my control. As is your mate. And you will be soon."
"NEVER! What do you want with Kagome and Kaori?"
"Your mate will become a sex slave for one of my dragons. Your other daughters will also become sex slaves that I will sell in China. Your sons will be my slaves, like you will be. Kaori, here, will assist me in finding the Mirror of Ameratsu. Just as she assisted me in finding the Oracle of Izagnami."
Growling, Inuyasha said, "We will never serve you. I will defeat you once and for all."
"Stupid half-demon. You cannot defeat me, the all-powerful Pauru! Just who do you think you are?"
"Your worst enemy and nightmare!", he growled at her, as she laughed.
"You look so tough chained up there, barely able to stand. Once my dragons are through with you, you will be begging for your life."
After saying that, Pauru left and ordered her dragons to do what they wanted with Inuyasha.
Further down in the dungeon, Tetsu was working on getting free.
"Where's your sword, kid?", he asked Yasha in the cell next to him.
"They took it. Along with my father's sword. If they plan on torturing him, they're gonna be sorry."
"Why's that?"
"Because my father turns into a full demon when he believes his life is in danger. And he's deadly."
"Well, maybe that's what they need. SHHHH!", he said, as the door opened.
"Pauru!", Tetsu said.
"Come, my brother. You don't belong here. Come join us upstairs."
Tetsu followed his sister, but gave Yasha a signal. Yasha hoped that meant Tetsu would be coming back. As he waited, Yasha looked around. He decided to try to open the door. He yanked and yanked, but he couldn't break the lock. He still wasn't as strong as his father.
A few days later, Yasha was in the cell (of course he was in the cell, where the hell else would he be?) when he heard footsteps. The door opened and there stood Tetsu,
"SHHHH! Kid. Let's go. Let's get you outta here."
"But my father. My mother and sister."
"It's too late for them."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, they have already been taken under control by the dragons. Well, your father hasn't been thoroughly taken yet. He's a tough one. They got the collar of obedience on him but he still fights it. And gets shocked a lot too."
"I want to see him."
"No you don't kid. Trust me."
"Yea I do. Now, Tetsu. Or I don't leave."
"All right. But I warn ya, it ain't pretty."
Tetsu led Yasha through the winding corridors until they reached his father's cell. There was Inuyasha, chained like a dog, with a collar around his neck. His clothes hung on him and he was whipped badly. Scars and bloody open wounds stretched across his skin. His body hung from the wrist chains and he was extremely weak. His eyes flashed from red back to gold back to red again. He didn't even have enough strength to go full demon. But his nose still worked. Sniffing the air, he said,
"Yasha?"
"Yes, father, I'm here."
"Find the Tessaiga and rescue your mother and sister.", he said weakly, "I'm counting on you."
"Yes, father. I will also free you."
"Don't worry about me. Use the Tessaiga. Destroy this place after you rescue your mother and sister. And protect Shiori and your other siblings. You must do this."
"I'll help him.", Tetsu said, "I promise you."
"Get the jewel and the oracle. They can't be used anymore.", and with that, Inuyasha passed out again.
"I can get the Tessaiga for you. I know where it is. I also know where your sword is. But I think Pauru is already out looking for the mirror with Kaori. And I don't know where your mother is. C'mon, let's go.", Tetsu said to Yasha, as they hurried out of the dungeon.
Inuyasha woke up again, "I will never give in to their demands. Kagome, stay safe. I will find you."
