Chapter (3)
I don't own The House of The Scropion or InuYasha and blah blah blah :)
*******************************
Inuyasha starred at the sky and watched the stars bright and shinning, giving him security, he was safer outside, he got that perspective after what the man called him.
What was a clone?
And what was a half-Breed?
He knew they were insults, but what did they mean. This was too much for his small mind for the moment. He just starred at the sky again clearing his mind, Remembering that Izaiyou usually took him outside to see the stars sometimes, She told him the little dipper and big dipper and shapes they made and sometimes the sizes of some stars, She knew a star named nithanial and another called agustus, it was so much knowledge it was a shock that he remembered that at all.
Suddenly his ears reverted when he heard voices again,
" Look at that thing...It's just lying their..." Kikyou said.
" It's an animal of course it'd be lazy like one..." Bankotsu said, Yasha forgot that they were here, he didn't even hear them come outside.
Kagome was over by an apple tree and picking random ones throwing them at Bankotsu and Kikyou. " Keep on Kagome!!!" She stuck out her tounge. " of course." She threw another, Bankotsu caught it. " GO AWAY!" She scruffed her face. " Fine, Yasha?"
Kikyou went wide eyed. " NO Kagome, that thing isn't to be approached." Kagome raised a brow. " Why not?"
" It's a mangy clone thats why..." Kagome was even more confused. " Whats a clone?"
" It's stinky litte things that slobber and twitch and ar just nasty like a stray animal, thats basically what it is..."
" A Stray animal...How is he a stray animal, looks like any other demon i've seen?"
Kikyou was about to say something but more voices came. " You URASAI!!! How could you let it be thrown outside! Thats' the worst you could've done, Mutto..." This voice was feircer then the man he seen before.
The other voice he heard was softer now, it was the man that called him names. Mutto must be his name. " A thousand Gomenasai's Jaken, I lost it a moment to have any control over myself." He bowed at the man was the door opened. He mumbled a simple. " Call first before making such ideas" and grabbed Yasha by his hair. But not very hard, only enough to get his attention to him. This male scared him even more.
He was green and had big eyes with larger folicals on. " Where's his injury?"
" On his foot." Kagura said slightly. Yasha felt him yank his foot up and exaimned it. Yasha sqwented." Ugh I cannot operate here...Wheres a empty place?"
" Theirs empty rooms in the Chambers." Jaken nodded and ordered the maids outside to take Yasha to the 'CHAMBERS' He didn't like this man, nor did he like the feeling coming over him at this place. Everyone's perspective of him has changed, all because the writting on his foot and the man.
The way Kagura read it, made it seem that no one really had writting on their foots when they were born like Izaiyou said. they all get the tattoo when their born for they never get lost koinu, that's why I am not your mother, you belong to someone else. Aparently he belonged to them. Suddenly he was glad he was given to Izaiyou and stayed away from these people.
*********************************************
Inuyasha was dropped on the table and Jaken grabbed his foot forcefully, grabbing the plyers from Kagura and digging deep in Yasha's foot. Yasha's eyes went blank at the force trying to purge a scream, but nothing came. The pain was emence.
" Damnit it's too deep, Hey be still!" Yasha tried to break out of his grip, but Kagura grabbed his feet and held him down for the evil doctor to finish his work, Yasha wanted to cry, but refused in front of these mean people. He would not show weakness to his new enimies. Zorro always told his public that, and he would too. (I heard that somewhere I'm just hoping it was Zorro, I used to watch it all the time.)
" Onegai, Please, Stop...stop..." They ignored him and continued the picking. They were being so mean, and he couldn't do anything about it.
They threw atibiotics on his foot making it burn reaklessly and thats what made Yasha scream. It was so loud but cut short when Kagura basically tackeled him to shut him up. Covering his mouth.
He whimpered loudly as the doctor pulled out a large needle and injected it in Inuyasha's foot for infections. He mummbled some words but Yasha was too dizzy to hear.
" No the kids seen it, we have to keep it somewhere."
" Homeless stray...keep it here. That way I can watch it...Keep it healthy." Yasha didn't like the words spoken, he didn't like the people surrounding him like demons ready to devour him. He curled in a ball. " Well if that's settled." They left the room, leaving Yasha in the dark.
Soon Kagura came back and threw a bucket at him. " You know what to do mutt. I'm not cleaning after your waste..."
Yasha whimpered. Ears flatened. " But..."
" You heard me, INU, now leave me alone." He slummped on the hard table and watched her close the door hearing her lock it soon after. " Zaiyou...please come for me..."
*************************************
Yasha was half-asleep in the room, but refused to completly go, afraid of the nightmares. He didn't want to be at this place. For the first few hours of the lockdown in this room he imagined this was a bad dream and Izaiyou would soon come and wake him, saying a prayer over the monks beads and kiss him goodnight again.
But the more he looked around he noticed that their was no hope, that this wasn't a dream. He cried for the forth time that night.
Holding himself he readied for anymore pain coming when the door creaked open. The locks unhatched and he closed his eyes, praying to Kami and the Great buddha that the bad people go away, that Izaiyou would come for him, notice him gone. Gathering him back.
The person's small hands shoved him lightly. Yasha opened his eyes seeing Kagome with a smile. " I brought you some food, That meany Kagura was bragging about not feeding you tonight. I thought'd you'd be hungry and thristy." Yasha watched her fearful. She slanted her eyes. " Don't worry I don't believe those baka's, they all think that since you're a whatever that your bad and gives deseases. I know bad people and you're not it."
He felt relieved a bit and sat up seeing a steak and onions with mash potaotes with some foot prints in it. " Sorry Kirara thought it was hers and stepped on the mashed tates...But the steaks still good and I even got bread." She reached in her pocket and placed it on the plate. Then she reached in her little PowerPuff Backpack and put two water bottles their.
" Just in case, when I got real thirst I drunk a whole one and still felt very thirsty." Kagome sat next to Yasha and watched him carefully eat the steak. " You know your not dangerous..."
Yasha slanted his eyes. " I mean thats what Kikyou says, since you're a clone and all. But I think you're just misunderstood. Like Otto-san always says, The jail-bird sings only for freedom, but when geting it it comes at costs." He sniffed feeling like crying again. " Gomen...I didn't mean to sound mean..."
He shook his head, " I just miss Zaiyou..." She patted his back. " It's ok...I miss my mommy too..." Kagome slanted her eyes. " I barly remember her though."
" What happened." She looked at him. " She was lost at sea with another boat, she was on a trip and then...poof...like on the bemuta triangle, she was gone, nothing left,not even a body..." She sighed. " But she'll come back someday I know it." Giving a smile, she grunted. " Jezz they couldn't give you a more comfortable bed?"
" O well..." Yasha laid back. He and Kagome talked for a long time, soon both were on subject of monsters and demons that they watch on TV, like vampires, and werewovles, and even ghost.
" My buddha at home prevents those bad monsters from coming in." Yasha bragged. " My cat Kirara is a black cat and she gets all those bad monsters. Even demons."
" Do you even know what they do."
" Eat you..." Kagome shuddered. " Not only that...They do worse to girls, it makes me happy to be a boy..." Kagome leaned it compeletly interested in the story ready to come.
" They take the girl and scrape her body parts into pieces, the bad thing is they keep them alive during the whole thing so your left with no legs, no arms, and your in torture bleeding worse then me..."
" WORSE!"
" Worse..." Yasha smiled happy that someone other the Zaiyou was interested in his conversations. " Yeah they let you die from blood loss then eat you, then when they finish that they eat your SOUL!"
Kagome gasped. " WHY?"
" It's the best part of the female, the soul of a pure woman or girl, its the most delectible part in a human..." Kagome gulped. " Y-you don't do that."
" I'm not a demon..." Yasha said bluntly. " Why do you have those then" She starred at his ears and reached for them. Yasha never knew anyone but Izaiyou to do this, but he'd allow Kagome to do it this one time.
" KAWAII" She coo'd. Yasha purred and fell in her lap. " Your just like a puppy. Koinu..." He blinked, thats what Izaiyou's been calling him, no wonder. He smiled at the nickname, proud to be a koinu. " I got it.."
She got a glint in her eyes when Yasha looked up. " What."
" I'll call you KoinuYasha..." He frowed his brows at the combination, it didn't sound really nice. " Until you turn to a big dog then I'll call you INU-Yasha" she smiled wide. Yasha heard Kagura call him an INU, and thought it was an insult, but she was just saying it as such,a compliment. Kagome meant it for a nickname. He'd let it slid with her. She was the nicest person in his life right now and wasn't going to make her mad by saying he didn't like it.
" KoinuYasha...KAWAII." She pet his ears again making him fall over. She giggled at that and started talking a storm again. KoinuYasha listening closly, without interupting her.
*****************************************
KoinuYasha woke up at dawn having to use the bathroom, he looked to his side seeing Kagome still their next to him in a ball. He knew she had to be cold so he placed the buttoned shirt he wore over her making him barechested. He then went to the destination he had to do to in the first place.
The bucket in the corner was metal and when he landed on the floor he felt the pain in his foot from the night before, memories of the evilness came back but he ignored, having to use the bathroom. He looked over to Kagome and seen her sleeping soundly, wrapped in his shirt, so small. He remembered Izaiyou saying she was so small that she looked fragile. But to him she was the strongest person here. He began to do his business as quietly as possible, but growled at the fact the bucket made a noises when he began. He looked back to Kagome to make sure she didn't wake up and see him.
He was almost done when he began to here voices around.
The Door was soon baracaded and Kagome sat upright half-asleep. " Their you are, sleeping with the mutt, Miss Higurashi, you'll be in so much trouble when we give you to your father!" KoinuYasha got himself together and in the process of the rush he dipped the bucket over spilling it all over the place.
" Come along you have explaining to do..." She dragged Kagome out the room. Kagura glarred at him. " So you can use things properly you little brute..." She glarred at the soil on the floor.
" But not very well I see. Ugh How could Izaiyou stand you..."
********************************************
Kagura brought KoinuYasha Breakfast he asked her as nicly as he could to know when he new found friend, Kagome, was coming back.
" That little freedom fighter is NEVER coming back, especially to see a mongral like you!" KoinuYasha shut his mouth after that, as she slammed the metal plate on the table and walked off, locking the door after her. He starred at the food and seen a dry patter peice of toast, eggs, and bacon stirps crisp. It was cold, but he was so hungry he wouldn't have cared if she spit in it. She hadn't feed him in 3 days.
After finishing the food he began to ready himself for the doctor, he always came after breakfast to check on him. He probaly didn't know his eating habits, but also probaly wouldn't care. " It looks good." Jaken hiested him up, jagging his head and forcing him to look at him, placing a light to his pupils. He then felt his sides, " A little skinner then yesterday..." He turned to Kagura in the doorway. " FEED HIM..."
" I have Jaken..." He sighed. " I mean 3 meals a day Kagura...Not when you feel up to it. If he dies, you are going down...not me." She looked fearful at the threat and nodded. " SO far everythings fine." He waved off to Kagura to follow him and left the room, KoinuYasha heard the door bolt shut after. She locked him in, he was a prisoner now for real. He now understood what Kagome said about why the caged-birds sing.
*******
The more time passed, KoinuYasha noticed that Kagura and the doctor had a chemistry. They always talked to each other like he wasn't even their. And he was pretty happy to keep it their for all his time he'd be here.
" Kagura, this is good. I'm glad that you did everything I asked of you."
" I wil always do what you ask Jaken..." Her grimmey smile scared KoinuYasha and he was even more discusted when the doctor smiled also. " You look especialent beautiful today..." She laughed, KoinuYasha shuddered. " O' Stop. This is what I ware everyday."
" It looks cleaner." She giggled again, as the doctor felt him for the fever he had the day before. He did feel stronger after the long while. But still the touch of the doc made him shudder the way he did in the fever.
" Another shot in case..." He seemed to mummble to himself. Pulling out a needle and stuck it in KoinuYasha's arm. He learned from the while being here to not show any more pain or hurt to these people, he was stronger now, refusing any tears to come, no matter what happened.
******
One day while the doctor and Kagura came in their usual angst came. But it was different, as time went by more. He noticed the doc came less and less. Soon KoinuYasha only counted 4 times a month. Or 3 every 30 days on rare occasions. Kagura must have noticed the same and they began arguing during his examination.
" I HAVE TO.." Kagura scoffed. " Please, Jaken, save it. I know your doing it purposly!" Jaken glarred as he shoved a needle in KoinuYasha's arm, he noticed that everytime the doctor came he was either hostile or shoving a needle in his arm. He was emmune to the pain now though.
" You know InuTashio will have my head if I refuse to go because of YOU"
" You say it like its a bad thing!" She slammed her fist on the door. " It is...I can't just be here for a vacation, he hasn't asked about the mongral in years. I have to hand him a report when I get their then more urgent business is there when I enter. Probaly for Onigumo..." The argument continued for meir moments but for KoinuYasha it was hours of mindless soap opera and he enjoyed the furry at each other, then him.
The doctor seemed to be having enough left the room, leaving KoinuYasha and Kagura alone. She turned to him, her aura spreading to him, showing him that she was angry and was about to inflict it on him. " YOU...you're the cause of all this, come here" She grabbed him by his hair and drug him to him knees. Slamming his small body to the corner of the room.
He winced, still numb from the pain. He looked down seeing that he was bleeding, minor but enough to make him dizzy. " Scream, go ahead." She kicked him on the floor. " Go ahead no one will hear you, you dirty little thing!" She did it multiple times in his gut again and again, until she tierd. Spitting on him as a goodbye, she left the room.
After she left the room he curled in his ball and cried silently. Why-why isn't Izaiyou here to save him...Doesn't she love him anymore???
