Kotaro's POV

Enemy of my Enemy
Chapter Eight

I must have lost consciousness, but whether that was from the overwhelming pain at the lack of care that Gogandantess showed me, or some spell on his part, I did not know. The first thing I noticed was that I was draped over something that was traveling over the water at an incredible speed. I lifted my head to see that Gogandantess had me on his lap as he maneuvered some sort of machine over the ocean.

"Oh, so you're finally awake." He said it with his usual grandiose way of speaking. "I'm so glad. I was worried that you were more damaged than I'd initially thought." I tried to say something, but felt so weak that I couldn't even draw enough breath to speak. "You should be happy," he continued, "at least one of you will make it to the ruins of the place of the Oni." I turned my head to look to where he was pointing, wincing at the pain as I saw an island appear out of the horizon of water. It was rocky and barren, with massive carvings cut into the rock that hung out over the water like some twisted monument. As we approached I had to look away. I couldn't bear to twist my head at such an odd angle for long. I let my head hang against a well-muscled thigh and watched the dark water rush past us.

The next time I opened my eyes I was laying on a bed. The pillows were piled high around me and I was wrapped up in furs and blankets. I stretched out my legs, poking my feet out from under the covers and reveled in the comfort. I felt my flesh brush across the soft fabric and suddenly I realized that I was naked. Where was my armour? I sat up, remembering the fight between Gogandantess and Magoichi and knew that wherever I was I should get out. Demons had a taste for human flesh and I didn't intend to let him eat me. "Did you sleep well?" the voice startled me and I turned my head towards its owner.

"Where am I?" I asked, looking at the oddly coloured demon sitting in a chair by the bed. I glanced around the room, quickly trying to locate my weapons, but could not see them. The room was sparsely furnished, with only a few torches for light, the bed and a fire roaring near the far wall. It didn't matter. I was still skilled at hand-to-hand fighting even though I knew he had a definite advantage in that area.

"You're in my chambers, of course," he said with a nod. "Magoichi did a good job healing you, but I'm afraid my patience is short when it comes to waiting for humans to heal on their own. I applied something a little more effective to you."

I looked down at my shoulder, suddenly aware of the lack of pain that I felt. The bandages that covered my shoulder were clean and free of any blood. My muscles felt wonderful and I tried moving my arm to see if it was true for the rest of me. There was something wrong with this picture. Why was Gogandantess healing me if he was just going to kill me? I cut my eyes back to him, keeping my glare in place, "What do you want?"

He laughed, "Why, you, of course!" He stood up from his seat and leaned over the bed, planting his hand beside me for balance to get even closer. I shrank back into the pillows, trying to get away from him as he loomed over me. "While there are many uses that I have for you, there is only one that I can think of at the moment. Do you know what that is?" His tongue snaked out of his mouth, impossibly long and slimy as he dragged it across my cheek. I closed my eyes and turned my head away. Even if I did have weapons, I knew they wouldn't do me any good. Magoichi had shot him without effect. I couldn't get out of this through fighting. Magoichi. Even while I began to panic under Gogandantess' hands my mind still wandered to him. How long had it been since we'd been separated? A few days, maybe? Even with the demons' magic it still would have taken a while to heal the wound in my shoulder. Would this have been enough time for him to find Jubei? Or would he have even found a way to get to this place? If he had, then he was close by! I tried to squirm away from Gogandantess' bulk as he leaned further over me and I quickly rolled over to the other side of the bed.

Once my feet hit the stone floor I had trouble standing. "What have you done to me?" I demanded, clutching to the side of the bed for balance.

"Oh, nothing yet," he said, stalking towards me with predatory grace. "I would imagine you're feeling weak because you haven't eaten for a few days."

I felt my skin prickle, goose bumps forming as the cool air washed over me and reminded me of just how naked I was. My muscles felt so weak as I tried to take a step. It seemed like a lifetime had passed since Magoichi had given me his remaining rations. So much had happened in the short time since then and now I was Gogandantess' prisoner, and soon enough his meal, or worse.

The white demon was nearly upon me, the look in his eyes showing his true intentions. I'd wanted to run the moment my feet hit the floor but I was trapped in his gaze as he descended upon me. It wasn't like the time that Magoichi had physically overpowered me and held me down as he'd taken advantage of me. I'd wanted him to do it then, even though I had been scared. No, this time was completely different. Gogandantess held me in place with only a look and I was terrified of what he'd do to me. No words would make him stop. I almost wished he would eat me and leave out the pain that he'd decided upon.

If he would kill me then I could be free. I prayed that Magoichi would be able to find a way to Jubei, or at least find a way to the island. Here I was dying and again I could only think of that man. Images of him flashed past my mind's eye. I could feel his anger when Gogandantess had carried me away from him that last time. I could still hear his voice in my ears, commanding and rough and angrily demanding that Gogandantess let me go. I suddenly realized that we weren't alone and turned to see his frame standing in the doorway, pointing his gun at the demon, his eyes blazing with rage.
