All alone, trapped, and hungry, some of your hated things. You want to go to your friends, to see Rin, and even say hi to Sango and Kagome, but sadly you are trapped. And you are convinced that you despise Naraku, for trying to convince you are wed to the cretin and for putting you through all of this. 'Grrrr, I should make him a demon rug. And when he gets dirty I'll take him out and beat him.' You smiled at your thoughts. Then thought of Sesshomaru, and it seemed like that happened a lot. But you liked it.
You paced yourself around your room, and then tended to the little tree next to the bed mat. You took pleasure in this, even calming you some. 'Remind me to get a few of these when free.' You noted. You tossed the clippings out the window, and being so small they were fried into nothing by the barrier.
Naraku came back hours later looking angry, "You are stubborn, wench. But see here I will have you in my control soon enough. Or die."
"Die please." You snapped. He walked over to you and struck you, knocking you out.
~Sesshomaru's p.o.v~
"We are nearing the castle." Kagura announced, "Are you going to kill him?"
"I am only here for the girl." You replied coldly.
"But if your there, than why waste time tracking him again." She snapped. Yorri frowned at this as she followed you on foot now.
"So badly do you want your freedom, than do it yourself." You said in your usual tone, cold.
The rest of the way was silent, as you neared your destination. You grew worried as Neomikyu's scent was no where, only Naraku. You walked into the castle's wooden doors. Yorri and Kagura stood on either side of you and Yorri begun shaking. "This way." Kagura said, as she began to lead you through the castle. Soon enough you were in a empty room. Naraku shortly joined you and Kagura bowed to him, "I have done my task."
He waved her away and began to speak once she left the three of you in the room. "Lord Sesshomaru, and pet. How nice of you to visit me." He said coldly as a smile played on his lips.
"Cut the nice crap and give us what we came for." Yorri spat, waving her fists at him. "I can tell you have something Sesshomaru wants. And what he wants I have to take." She laughed at that and you fought the urge to roll your eyes.
"You mean the girl." He asked, "She is dead."
His words seemed to cut you, but you remained to act unaffected. "You lie." Yorri was almost in tears, as she spoke her soft words.
"Maybe but if she refuses to be with me than she will die." Naraku smiled, "If you don't mind I must go check on the wench. She might have eaten, now."
'She's not eating?' You moved to Naraku, quickly grasping his throat, "Where is the girl?" You asked emotionlessly. He looked not afraid, till you saw his eyes. He remained silent and you tightened your grip.
Then you smelled it. The sweet fragrance of honey and roses. Her. You dropped your hold and rushed after the scent to a room. You walked in and saw her, lying crumpled under the window seal, passed out. You quickly moved to her, lifting her into your arms. She had bruises covering her, cuts marking her pale face. Her once red lips were as pale as her skin. Her hair was a tangled mess and her ears kept twitching. 'Naraku will pay for what he's done.' You couldn't place your new thoughts just had to get her to safety. 'Her heart is faint. She needs air.' Without thinking anymore you placed your lips on hers careful not to hit the cut on the corner. You gave her a breath of air, continuing to try to keep her breathing.
You knew if she died you could save her, but it was the thought of her dying that set ill with you. But soon enough she stirred. Relief flooded through out your body and you moved to look down at her. "Sesshomaru. I-I remember you."
