Chapter 5: What hurts most

Kagura couldn't believe her eyes or her ears. This cruel youkai was gonna do what he did to Rin to her next. She was in awe that little child had not said nor admitted a word. She just sat there with a emotionless face that would have made Sesshomaru proud. Kagura watched in horror as she saw the fire begin to come dangerously close to the flesh of the little girl. She turned to Lucisherkon and gathered up all the spit she had and hurled it at him.

The youkai was taken back by this action as was the guard that was holding her. She stomped on his foot and tried to run to go get Rin out, but was stopped by Lucisherkon. He twisted her arm so hard that she heard the sickening snap. She bit on her lip and tried not to cry out. He pulled her back and made her face him.

"Think your clever?" He said with disgust.

"Some people think so." She said back

He slapped her across the check and caught the other side coming backwards. He looked deeply into her eyes.

"Such a pretty woman." He said

"………." Kagura couldn't think of anything to say back. She surely wasn't expecting that

"You look identical to Arugak……Sesshomaru's late wife."

"What!" she asked

"He never told you? Oh I see. Come tell me your name, I've always known the name of whom I'm going to scream like there's no tomorrow. I know that daughter or whatever she is to you is called Rin."

"I'll never tell!"

"Then I'll beat it out of you."

And with that he snapped and out came a troll with horns the size of Sesshomaru's fangs when in dog form. He had a body like hulk and looked like it too. But one thing was out of place on this big massive creature, he had such gentle looking eyes. They held so much sorrow looking at Kagura. Kagura swore she saw a look of hurt and anger when she saw him look at Rin. He walked over to her and took her by the arms and lifted her off her feet and over to the corner where there were a pair of shackles hanging from the ceiling. He cuffed her in them and looked to his master for further orders. Lucisherkon looked at him and nodded toward Rin. The beast bowed his head and went and took the little girl down from the wall. Rin looked up at Lucisherkon with no fear in her eyes. So he just chained her to the wall.

Lucisherkon growled at her and then switched his attention to Kagura. He decided that at first he wanted to hurt her and bruise her. So instead of a leather whip he got his rope one instead. He was determined to make this one scream in agony. She had a fire within her that he did not like.

Kagura was able to take the beating and was left suspended there. It really didn't heart as much as when Naraku squeezed her heart. But when he put the rope around her neck and then pulled tightly so that she had rope burn she cried out in shock. She heard him laugh and it gave her a chill up her back. She felt the blood trickle down her chest and soak her kimono. But what was worst was now the room had gone quiet and she heard Rin shackles being strained against. She then felt his claws on her back. He dug them at least a half a inch in, then pulled them down the length of her back. She screamed out in utter agony, but some how she knew it wasn't over. He ripped her top off and then began dressing the wound in his saliva.

It burned so much that Kagura almost passed out. But she didn't instead her vision went blurry, she couldn't see things right. She then heard a blast and a body hitting the ground. Fearing for Rin she looked over to see it was not Rin that had hit the ground but it was Lucisherkon. He was wriggling in pain. She fallowed the tracks of where the blast had come from and saw Rin standing there with her shackles off, glowing a hot bluish pinkish color around her, her hair was flowing and her eyes were all white again. This is the second time she has seen this happen to Rin and it shocked her nonetheless, for it seemed it only happened when Rin was protecting people. Had she protected Kagura?

Rin then raised both hands to her chest and summoned a lot of energy into a ball, and then it took shape of an arrow and it hurled its self at Lucisherkon. It had caught him right in the left arm, dissolving it. Rin dropped to the ground in unconsciousness but was caught by the troll. Lucisherkon was so furious that he decided to take his anger out on Kagura. He got his leather whip that had little spikes embedded into it and started to beat her ferociously. The beating went on for about a half an hour. Several times Kagura went unconscious and was woken up by Lucisherkon pouring ice-cold water on her. Rin began to stir again.

"She's waking up master." The troll said

"Alright, for now I'll stop and let you guys rest so that I can hear you scream even louder." He said maliciously

"What should I do master?"

"Go and get the stuff you need to heal them up, I don't want them dieing over night."

"Yes master Lucisherkon."

And with that he unshackled both of them and left with his master. Rin was awake just as soon as they left. She looked around and noticed Kagura crumpled up on the floor.

"Kagura!" she said and surprisingly she walked over to her

"I'm…I'm alright Rin don't worry."

"No your not!"

"Rin do you remember what happened."

"I remembered that he was torturing you and then everything went white."

"Rin…" Kagura said but then wondered if she be the one to tell Rin that she had been having weird trances

"Yes Kagura?"

"Could you help me up?" She asked even though she really didn't need the help, it would be really hard trying to get Rin's curiosity down once you say never mind. Just like a child.

"Sure!"

Rin helped Kagura up and touched the rope burn on her neck. She looked at it with such a sad expression. Kagura noticed as soon as her hand left her neck that it didn't burn anymore. She reached up and felt for the burn and looked at her wrists where the shackles had bitten into them, because on the inside they had little spikes that injected into the skin. The marks and pain were gone. Rin had touched them and they had healed instantly!

"Rin look!"

"Oh my how did they disappear that quickly? Master Jaken was right, youkai do heal fast."

"Lucisherkon don't." Kagura slipped

"What do you mean?"

"Nothing, Rin look when you touched me my wounds healed instantly!"

"Really"
"Yes or else for some odd reason they just closed up."

"Let me see your back!"

Before Kagura could protest Rin was already behind her. All of the sudden she wasn't in so much excruciating pain. Rin had really healed her. This must have started to occur after she went into her second trance. That had to be it, or else otherwise why all of the sudden had Rin changed so much? Sure she was the same sweet and concerned little girl that she was well known as. It was just the fact that Rin now had a healing touch to her.

The door opened and in came the troll that had such gentle eyes. Kagura was startled a little bit and Rin just looked at him as if he was just another ordinary person.

"Who are you?" she asked

"I am called Jufang."

"And why are you hear?"

"To heal you and Rin."

"Do her first."

He went over to Rin and began to clean her wounds out. About an hour later after he had dressed them properly he went to Kagura and she proudly showed him that she had absolutely no wounds on her. He looked astonished.

"How did you heal in that short amount of time?"

"Rin healed me."

"I have heard of something like this before from my old master, however my old master didn't treat me like a servant, he treated me like a part of his family… I'll never forget him. He was only seven at the time, but he was as smart as the oldest wise man. He said that someday , when the world is in much turmoil and grievance that out of the two main energy's on the planet a child would be born. When I asked him what the two main energy's were he said fire and ice… My old master used to make sure every night before he went to bed that I was well protected under his bed. When his father found out he was furious, but he let him keep me. Then one day, he was taking me for a walk and then we got attacked by youkais that had sacred powers. He told me to go find help but I was captured and I never saw him again… "

"Really, I'm so sorry, who was your old master?" Rin asked

"Prince Sesshomaru."
