Heirs of Anubis ch. 4

"Because, I'm going to die, and your brother will save me"

Davakho left the world of his friend's mind and woke up in an abandoned building, four men surrounding him. He wasn't quite aware of what was happening at the moment, but all he could feel was pain. Gone was his silken shirt and his jewelry lay broken around him. Bruises littered his body, mingling with the many cuts; tan skin covered in blood. The lashes on his back were excruciating. Someone was laughing- finding his pain amusing. He knew this would happen, somehow he knew. But the pain, oh Gods the pain. "Fight back" some thing told him- a primal instinct that all daemons had hanyou or pure blood. "Fight back! You will die, think of yourself. Your family will not be back in time." More than anything, Davakho wanted to fight back, but another part of him that he had to do this- allow whatever these men would do.

It seemed endless, unchanging. There's nothing more they could do, he thought to himself. But he was wrong, he felt a new pain; worse than anything he felt before. The men laughed harder "You disgusting monster; when I'm done with you, you'll beg for your death. You will pay for kill the fourth and making Sasuke leave" He recognized the voice of the man "Kakashi?" he rasped out only to slapped" Shut the fuck up!!" the now identified man shouted. He felt his mother's youkai, but she wouldn't make it in time. Davahko lost track of time, but finally, the man stopped and it was then Davahko realized that the building was on fire. Kakashi had dragged him by his hair to a wall and took out his kunai with a twisted smile.

When Kyoto got to the gates of Konoha, she smelled something burning "oh gods, no. Please not my baby" the Queen silently prayed. when she got to the building, she dismounted her horse and ran inside. She gave a pained yell at what she saw. Her son was beaten, bruised and crucified to a wall. Frantically, she ran to the wall and gently pulled the kunai from his hands and feet. She held him as she gently tried to wake him, "Davakho, my son, wake up. They are gone, sweetie, you don't need to pretend anymore." She whispered, seemingly unaware of the building burning around her. She began to sob harder "My poor baby, your cold. Don't worry, momma's here and I'm going to take you home, to Shaldeya. You'll love it there, it's so beautiful; the people will love you and I can't wait to plan your coronation- when you come of age in two years of course. And by then you'll have to pick a guardian, But now I need you to wake up" The boy didn't answer- he wasn't even breathing. "Please…." She held him closer. Kyoto hadn't even noticed the others had caught up with her. "Kyoto, we have to go" Selene said remorsefully "No… I can't leave him" all efforts they made to get her to move were in vain. "Kyoto! the building is going to burn down!" Shukaku shouted in an effort to get her to move. Itachi had moved to sit so that Davakho was between the two of them; as Kyoto saw him sit she handed her baby to the raven "Please, help him" she whispered. Shiva had enough "we don't have time! the building is going to-" "well then put the fire out" Itachi interrupted, not taking his eyes off of the young prince.

"You filthy little human shit who do you think you are, ordering me around? I have every right to-"again, she was interrupted

"Shiva, do it" Kyoto sounded so hopeless, it was sad. Shiva closed her eyes as a pale blue light surrounded her and the temperature dropped dramatically. Within seconds, the fire was put out and a thin layer of snow covered the remains of the building.

Minutes passed. Finally, Shukaku put a comforting hand on Kyoto's shoulder. "I'm so sorry" he began "he's dead. We can't stay any longer." The fox demon shook her head no frantically as the tears fell to the ground. Shukaku looked down. He didn't want to do this, but they had to get going as soon as possible. Gently, he tried to take the boys corpse "No!" the frantic mother screamed "You can't take him ! He's alive, not dead! Just let me be with him, please!" "No!" screamed Kyoto and at the same time, Selene shouted "Wait!" everyone stopped. It was silent.

Itachi watched the scene with tears in his eyes, 'I failed' he thought. The raven haired male rocked him back and forth. Somewhere in the past 4 hours, he realized that the young prince was every ting to him and that he could not live without him. Placing his forehead against the boy's, he whispered "come back to me" Once again, all was silent.

The silence was broken by a gasp from oxygen deprived lungs, followed by shallow breaths.
