Chapter 7: Red Teeth

"You shall stay in there!" Dr. Nomel shoved Kagome into a small, dark, concrete cell with nothing but a large plank of wood hanging from the roof. Was that supposed to be some sort of bed? Kagome felt her body hit the wall of the cell rather hard. She turned towards Dr. Nomel and spit at his face. You'd think that he would treat her better after all those words of love and devotion he said to her...even if she did do something 'bad'.

Dr. Nomel punched his fist into the wall and glared at Kagome. "You will learn to obey and respect me. You will learn. Even if I am forced to starve you until you beg and plead for me to love you all over again!" With that said, Dr. Nomel began strutting bag through the halls. Those dark halls. You couldn't see anything on the ground, but you could hear crunching beneath your feet with every step you took. Kagome shuddered at the thought. Only God knows what she could have been stepping on. Bones? Bits and pieces of somebody's carcass?

Kagome heard yelling and screaming from just down the halls. She watched through the large metal bars that held her in her cell and saw two guards dragging a kicking and screaming youkai girl. They lifted her up high into the air, and threw her into the cell just across from Kagome's. Kagome could hear the girl cry out as she slammed into the concrete wall of her cell. The girl was quick on her feet and quickly tried to run out of her cell and make an escape.

The two guards shoved her back and slammed the cells door shut, and locked it. Inside the cell was very dark. Kagome could barely see anything, let alone the girl, unless it was close to the bars of the cell, where there was a little light hanging just above Kagome's cell. It soon began to flash, and then broke. "Great..." Kagome mumbled to herself. Kagome glanced up and saw a window just next to her cell. It was on the outside of the cage, but there was still light coming through. It was night time. The moon light streamed through the bars of the window and let little patches of light touch the floor. Kagome looked at the floor and saw...rats. Tons of rats.

Kagome flinched. Was that what she was partly stepping on? She heard what sounded like the jingling of keys against someone's leg. A guard soon appeared and he stood in front of the girl's cell. He had a very serious expression on his face. "You have received the death sentence for your crime." The guard said. "You don't think I knew that, idiot?" The girl yelled. Her voice sounded scratchy and deep. It annoyed Kagome. It didn't sound right. "GOD! You would think that you wouldn't get caught now a day..." The girl said the last part quietly to herself.

Kagome walked closer to the bars and asked the guard, "P-pardon me, but, um, what is it she did?" The Guard turned around swiftly and stomped in front of Kagome's cage. He stared into her eyes and then he smiled. "You are Kagome. The human that Sir Nomel is training!" Kagome nodded. "Y-yeah..." The guard's voice was extremely deep. It sounded like what Zeus might sound like if he crashed through your window and asked for some electricity.

The guard continued. "I guess I should tell you others crimes so you never do them yourself. That is training." Kagome nodded quickly. The guard inhaled deeply and let out a long sigh. Then he put a serious expression upon his face. "That girl in the cell behind me snuck into Sir Nomel's chamber while he was away and attempted to poison the drinking water of the castle, which would have killed Sir Nomel and every living thing in this castle. And we found out that earlier she had spoken with a silver haired youkai who needed directions to this castle--" The guard was cut off by the youkai girl. "And I TOLD you that I asked HIM for the directions! He just brushed me off and told me to 'look for that cereal pop fa--" "Silence!" The guard turned quickly, grabbed the girl's wrist, broke it, and turned back to Kagome.

Kagome could hear the girl's cries of pain and saw her sitting on the ground holding her wrist tightly. Kagome felt somewhat sorry for the girl. It was mean of that silver haired youkai to not give her directio--..."SILVER HAIRED YOUKAI?" Kagome yelled loudly. Silver hair... Silver hair... Silver hair... "Did he have gold or red eyes?" Kagome asked the girl quickly. The girl hissed at Kagome. "Yeah, whatever!" Kagome felt her pulse begin to rise. "Inu...Inu...Inu...yasha..." Kagome widened her eyes. "INUYASHA? The murderer?" The guard asked Kagome. Murderer? Well that wasn't too hard to believe. Kagome nodded all the same.

The guard stood straight. "Well this is serious indeed! He could already be inside the gates! I must tell Sir Nomel right away." The guard began running away through the halls at a really fast speed. Kagome sat on her wood plank and shook her head slowly. The boy was coming to get her... Kill her even! Kagome felt so afraid now. The guard said he could already be inside the gates... "Why me..." Kagome asked nobody in particular. "Why YOU? WHY ME! I'm the one locked up with a death sentence! I'm the one who didn't get away! I'm the one--!" "Who got it easy..." Kagome said slowly.

The girl stopped talking and stared at Kagome for a long time. At least 15 minutes passed by and yet another guard came in. It was a different guard. He was a bit taller, and his voice was more normal, so to speak. Too bad his looks couldn't fit his voice. His skin was dark red and he seemed to have white eyes, for Kagome could see no color in them besides the small black pupil. He was standing front of the girl's cage and said, "Due to Guard number 462 leaving to tell Sir Nomel some urgent news, I shall be taking his place for now." Then he stared at the girls face seriously. "Large or small?" He asked.

The girl looked confused. She shook her head. "Why are you asking me this?" She asked him, annoyed. The guard crossed his arms. "It's in matters of your death sentence. Large or small. Choose." The girl chuckled and said, "I guess it must be my last meal. Small. Don't want to throw up while I die." She said with and amused look on her face. The guard nodded and began walking away. Kagome had a strange feeling that it wasn't her food portion they were asking her about... Large ax or small ax? Short rope or long rope?

Kagome shook her head quickly as if to make bad thoughts leave her mind. She lay down on her plank bed and drifted into an uncomfortable sleep.

(In the fields of Jimity, just inside the castle gates...)

Inuyasha ran through the fields quickly and leaped from tree to tree. His eyes burned red and his face was dirty. His clothes were, surprisingly, untouched. He suddenly stopped dead in his tracks and began sniffing the air. He let out a snarl and jumped back a step. Where he had just stood, a flaming arrow landed. "Trying to kill me you bloody--" His jumped back again, and watched as yet another flaming arrow landed where he stood just seconds ago. "--fools?" He said. He sniffed the air again and again, dodging arrows left and right... and everywhere else for that matter.

He soon began running quickly through the trees dodging arrows all around. He leaped up onto a tree and watched where the arrows were coming from. There were some guards standing on the castle walls aiming and shooting where Inuyasha stood. Vulture youkai. "Of course?" Inuyasha said rolling his eyes. His jumped at the castle wall where the vulture youkai stood, shielding his face with his arms. He tackled the youkai and began slicing, biting, scratching, ripping and tearing the youkai. Blood sprayed everywhere. After he was finished killing the youkai, Inuyasha shook his body and blood sprayed off of him.

He hid behind a wall and glanced inside the area where the chambers doors stood. He saw an UGLY dark red skinned youkai with strange eyes walk towards, what looked like, a guard. Were they guards? "Some costumes..." Inuyasha muttered. "She chose small." The red skinned youkai said. "Ooh, my favorite..." Said the other guard. They began to walk towards some others rooms. Inuyasha didn't assume it to be alright to walk through until he couldn't smell or hear the two guards any longer. He slowly began making his way through the different chambers and hallways.

Not that he couldn't just murder anyone who tried to stop him, but he hated the work, and plus, it doesn't hurt to be a little careful. "Psh, yeah right." Inuyasha said. He stood up straight and strided through the rooms like he lived in the castle. And for a little fun, he knocked over a few vases.

(Back in the dungeon...)

Kagome awoke with a start when she heard very loud foot steps coming through the hall. She lay motionless for fear of not being allowed to be awake yet. Once she heard the foot steps were close enough, Kagome positioned herself to be able to see something if somebody were to stand outside of her cell. She had her eyes closed just enough to appear closed. She watched a large guard walk in front of the youkai girl's cell just across from Kagome.

Kagome heard rough breathing. It sounded somewhat high pitched and hoarse. It breathed slowly but hard. The guard began unlocking the youkai girl's cell. "Time to wake up sleepy head..." The guard said to the youkai girl. Kagome heard the youkai girl groan as she began to wake up. Kagome opened her eyes a bit more. She noticed the guards back was turned to her so she opened them more. Standing next to the guard was a very short figure. Maybe about as tall as a medium sized T.V. set. It had rag like clothes on, long boney fingers, small boney feet, and long, dark hair that looked dirty and unbrushed. Its breathing became faster as the guard unlocked the youkai girl's cell door.

The youkai girl spoke. "What is it? My meal arrive?" She laughed hottily. The guard chuckled. "No. But I brought you a little...Friend." He said. The door began to open and the little thing the guard was next to began hopping up and down quickly. Was it...excited...? Kagome gulped softly and watched the scene before her. The door was soon fully open, and the little thing ran inside. Kagome immediately heard the youkai girl begin to scream loudly. Kagome widened her eyes and could feel her heart thumping quickly. The youkai girl wouldn't stop screaming. She kept yelling...Help me...

Soon the screaming stopped. Kagome heard a hoarse, high pitched laughter, and then it began to cough. It stopped laughing. The youkai girl... was she dead? Apparently not. The youkai girl crawled quickly towards the open cell door. Half of her face was gone... Blood streamed down... Kagome could see bones sticking out from her face, arms, and...one of her legs. The other one was... gone. She heard the youkai girl begin screaming and...gurgling somewhat. She choked up blood and screamed louder. Kagome couldn't see her anymore. She covered her ears and closed her eyes tightly. The screaming stopped. Kagome uncovered her ears and began to open her eyes.

The little creature walked out of the cell. He was drenched in blood from head to toe. He seemed to see Kagome and grinned at her. Flesh and blood stuck to his teeth. His sharp, thin, many teeth. Kagome gulped and flinched. The guard held the little things hand and they soon walked away. Kagome had never experienced something so awful in her life. She didn't need to see that. It wasn't real. But Kagome had to face the truth. It was real. Things like that did indeed exist. She didn't want to know they did. They were only supposed to be from horror movies and scary tales. And...Its huge black eyes... The eyes of a killer. It looked hungry. It wanted more... Kagome was scared. She closed her eyes and covered her ears, shivering.

She just wanted to forget all she had just seen and heard. She hummed a song to herself, but it didn't help. The thoughts remained, until she drifted into a long, deep sleep. It felt like at least an hour had gone by since Kagome had fallen asleep. She felt really cold for some reason. Kagome sat up and wiped her eyes with the back of her hand. She looked up. Her eyes met the cell across from her. Images of what Kagome saw rushed back into her head. But since she slept, now if felt like some sort of dream. Kagome chose to ignore the feelings she had dwelling within her. Despair, fear, worry... Kagome didn't know whether or not she should put all the emotions together and call them 'Deary'!

She let out a sigh and leaned her head against the concrete wall. She then heard foot steps coming near her cell. Kagome looked up and saw, who else? No, not another guard. Dr. Nomel. "Hello, my dear!" He said with a grin. Kagome glanced over at him and sneered. "Go suck on a lemon..." She said with a groan. Dr. Nomel seemed quite taken aback by this. He clenched one of the bars to Kagome's cell and growled. "You will learn to obey and abide by my rules. You WILL become my wife. Even if I have to threaten you in the darkest ways I can imagine..." He let go of the bar. Kagome sighed and tears began to sting her eyes. She never would have thought she would be in a dungeon, or, another dimension for that matter!

Kagome stood up and rocked slightly back and forth because she felt weak from all she had heard and seen in such a short amount of time. "It's a shame that you don't think much, otherwise you probably already would have thought up something to make me-" Kagome made quote signs with her fingers. "-obey you." She said. Dr. Nomel's eyes flickered with signs of anger. "You will not mock me for fear of your life." He growled out. Kagome sighed. Dare she say this? She'd save it for later. "Whatever..." She turned around and faced the wall. Dr. Nomel's footsteps could be heard leaving the dungeon, but before he had left completely, he yelled, "Just to be sure you don't whip your tongue out at me again, I'll have to teach you a lesson!" And with that yelled, he left.

Kagome gulped and hugged herself. A lesson? She hoped it wasn't as 'fun' as he made it sound...

(In the depths of the castle looms...)

Inuyasha began running quickly through different rooms. Humans would never be able to catch him. To them, he was nothing more that a swift gust of wind. "After him!" Unfortunately, youkai could catch him. Inuyasha ran through different halls and passed many rooms and other youkai. He slashed through curtains and crashed through walls. It wasn't like he couldn't just stop and slaughter the whole lot of them. But he got such a thrill know just how much faster he was than them!

"Stop where you are!" Inuyasha heard them shout. "Why the heck would I stop for the likes of you?" Inuyasha yelled back, still running with ease. Suddenly, Inuyasha felt his legs buckle from under him. He crashed to the floor. He snarled loudly and looked for what tripped him. Wrapped around his legs was a very long, but very thin snake youkai. Inuyasha growled. The snake youkai hissed. "What'sssss the matter ssssssstupid boy? Drunk?" The snake youkai said to Inuyasha, snapping its jaws. Inuyasha growled deep in his throat and slashed the snake off of his legs. Then he began running again. "Stupid snake...I thought it was a wire!" He yelled to himself.

'Stupid girl. Where the heck is she?' Inuyasha thought. 'She's probably in a dungeon somewhere... Heh... Yeah, I'll bet!' Suddenly a thought struck Inuyasha like a lightning bolt. He growled. "Why the heck..." He stopped mid sentence and sat on the floor. He sat there for about 10 minutes before the castle guards arrived where he was. "Tch. Took you long enough!" He said, shaking his head in disappointment. Inuyasha braced himself for what was about to come. Several darts shot into several parts of his body, a couple large beatings to the head, knocked to the ground, kicked, and finally a sack was put over his head. And rather quickly, too.

'I hope these guys live it up while they still have their last precious time to live... No, no I don't.' And after that, Inuyasha closed his eyes and waited for his plan to unfold.

(back in the dungeon...)

Kagome let out a long sigh. How long would she be here? Should she just commit suicide and end all her misery? No... Suicide is not cool. Maybe she would pay one of the guards to knock her out and then slit her wrists? Nah... Kagome never wanted to be murdered. But what if she hired somebody to kill her instead? "...Wait, aren't those both the same thing?" Kagome shrugged her shoulders. It had to have been at least one full day since she was there. 'Maybe I should give up, marry Nomel, and live it up?' She thought. "...But then I would be miserable." Kagome tapped her chin.

"What if...um...I know! I'll pretend I gave up, pretend I'm going to marry Nomel, and then I'll high tail it out of here! Perfect!" Suddenly, Kagome heard the footsteps of a guard...or two...Now it sounded like five... No, ten! Why would ten guards need to come back here? 'Oh my gosh, am I in huge trouble for sassing Nomel?' Kagome screamed in her head. A minute or so had passed and the guards were finally in front of her cell. They were holding firm the arms of a, Kagome had to admit, well muscle toned boy. He had a cloth like bag over his head and his ankles had chains on them.

"Sir Nomel said to put him in the human's cell as a sort of punishment. He said that she should be fine considering how well chained he is." Said a fat youkai man with orange hair and... No... eyeballs... A blind youkai? 'If his eyes are gone, that must mean all of his other senses are hyped up...' Kagome thought. Suddenly her cell door was being unlocked and opened. Kagome backed up to the corner of her bed. The chained boy was kicked into the cell. Kagome stared at the guards and then back at the boy. Guards. Boy. Guards. Boy. Guards. "You're putting the chained up guy in HERE?" Kagome said, her breathing picking up.

One of the previous guards with dark red skin spoke. "Yes. Dr. Nomel's orders were specific. Good bye." All of the guards began to walk away. "Hey! HEY! Come on...!" Kagome bounced slightly where she sat. 'Don't leave me with this, most likely, dangerous criminal...' Kagome clenched her jaw and tightened her fists. She then stopped all she did, even her breathing, because the boy was getting up from where he had been kicked in. The sack over his head began to slide off and Kagome saw... "S-s-s-silver h-hair..." She stuttered. Then she saw the boy sit up and slowly look over to her. He was... smiling. And it looked pretty darn scary.

"It's y-you... I-Inuyasha..." Kagome gaped at him. His eyes were a piercing red. They were even redder than when she had first seen him. A low chuckle fell from Inuyasha's mouth. It became louder. Louder, and louder, until it was roaring evil laughter which rang through the entire dungeon. Then he stopped abruptly and turned his head quickly to stare straight into Kagome's eyes.

"Hello...Kagome."

A/N: DoMG! Inuyasha and Kagome are together at last? In the same cell, might I add? ;) ... -slaps you- I SEE THAT DIRTY THOUGHT STUCK TO YOUR BRAIN! ... Was this all part of Inuyasha's plan?
