The Unforgiven

Chapter One: New Blood
.

.

A whip cracked in the air, piercing the loud noise.

"Damn beast!"

"You ok Kouga?"

"I'll be ok, but the foul mongrel liketa broke my arm!"

"You deserved it you bastard!" a groggy and bleeding Inuyasha replied from where he was chained up to a pole.

"Shut it mutt! You have no room to be calling me a bastard, Inu-kuro!"

A low-pitched growl erupted from Inuyasha's chest as he was once again slapped by the whip. He could feel the flesh on his back separate with searing pain. Gashes covered his back as the braided leather lacerated the tender skin.

The silver haired young male winced in agony as cut upon cut was created on his back.

"KOUGA!" a voice bellowed from behind the men.

A man with long black hair and black robes walked up to them.

"Y-yes Mr. Naraku?" Kouga stammered.

"Stop beating the mutt. We need to put him on display tomorrow." A growl could be heard from the 'mutt' disregarding the unpleasant nickname. And the thought of being one 'display' as if some type of material item.

"Yes Mr. Naraku," Kouga and the other man replied.

"Now, take him to his cell and give him some scraps. We don't want him starving to death before the War Lord and his daughter can see him, now do we?" Naraku asked in a cool tone.

"No Mr. Naraku."

"Good. Now, get before I make you the scraps to be feed to him."

"Yes sir!" the two men replied as the unhooked the still bleeding inu hanyou from the pole.

Half leading half dragging him to the jail, Kouga and his partner sneered as people on the sides of the road threw trash and other odd things at the human demon hybrid.

When they reached the jail, Inuyasha stared in awe at the intensity of the prison. Kouga chuckled as he kicked Inuyasha in the butt, sending him sprawling face down on the hard dirty surface of the ground.

"Get up dog turd. We have to take you to your cell," Kouga sneered.

"Asshole," the amber eyed teen hissed from his spot on the stone.

"DON'T," Kouga said as he kicked Inuyasha in the ribs, "EVER!" kick, "CALL!" kick, "ME THAT!" kick, "AGAIN!" Kouga kicked him one last time for good measures. Blood trickled out of the side of Inuyasha's mouth. He could taste it, which is far more then he had tasted in the three-day trip over seas he had taken to get where he was now.

In a man made hell.

"Wimpy wolf," he said with a small amount of strength. The angered wolf demon kicked him in the head. Inuyasha cringed and chocked as he felt bile rise in his throat.

Just as he was tossed in his cell, he expelled the rising remnants of what he didn't have to eat.

"Look what we have here boys, new blood," a man from another cell said. Laughs could be heard from along the rows of bars.

Inuyasha gave a small cocky smile and heaved one last time. "Feh," he said be fore losing consciousness.
