At this point Naomi was suddenly surrounded by dark holy energy the look on Itachi's face changed as he grinned Saying, "Naruto promised us the land behind us, and no more interference if we made you disappear."
Naomi watched as a cage materialized around her she could feel it was enchanted to be able to draw her holy powers should she use them. She sat on the cage floor refusing to allow it to drain her. She glared at him saying, "This isn't going to help you but I would have."
He grabbed the cage, and with the aid of his students put it in a wagon to pull it to where the slave traders were near the shrine. Hopefully, this prime specimen would get them to leave the shrine alone finally. He noticed she was praying but he could careless even the kami's couldn't help her now. He grinned at the slave trader saying, "I will give you this pure shrine Miko in return for a scroll that says that our shrine is off-limits to the slave traders here."
The male grinned, and quickly filled out the scroll and handed it to Itachi asking, "Are you sure that is all you want?" Itachi nodded while Naomi glared at him saying, "You are a fool you could have gotten way more for me. Plus there is the price you will pay for what you have done."
Itachi waved his hand at her while grinning saying, "You are gone, and Naruto will reward me by keeping his demons away from the border as well as these guys will leave us alone now." He turned, and headed back to his shrine.
Kiku grinned at her saying, "Now I should fetch enough for you to get into the slave trade." Maybe he'd be able to get his harem and start-up a whore house as it was way less dangerous servicing men overtaking kidnapped women into slavery. He dragged the cage to the slave traders asking, "Where do I take this one I want her sold at auction quickly as she is still pure I'd like to keep her in this cage to keep her purity intact."
The big demon stood up, and circled the cage before asking, "What did you pay?"
Kiku grinned further saying, "Nothing I only promised that I wouldn't attack a shrine near my slave trade post. Which I'd also like to sell as I wish to buy a whore house, and some women to stock it I am getting to an age where I want to have pups, and I need to be in a less dangerous job."
The giant dragon smirked saying, "She will fetch you a good price but you would get more if she were already chained in anti-holy power cuffs so that her master could control her better. But as is with the sale of the slave trade location you should have more than enough to get a good whore house. The auction is tomorrow night so keep her clean, and fed until then."
Kiku nodded and went over to a secluded area making sure that he could guard her correctly she was way too valuable to lose. He'd have to figure out a way to feed this female and bathe her as he didn't know how strong of a Miko she was, and he didn't want to risk being purified. That was her new owner's problem, not his he only had to feed and keep her clean, so he asked, "When did you last eat, and bathe Miko?"
She glared at him replying, "I have eaten, and washed today. If I were you, I'd let me go, and perhaps you shall live to have your dreams keep me at your risk." Kiku just laughed at her and made himself comfortable for the night even if he couldn't sleep it didn't mean his body couldn't get some rest.
~ With Sesshomaru ~
He waited, and when night approached he rested to conserve his energy. As morning approached, he noticed the lack of Naomi's scent in the air. He had instructed her to return in the morning he knew she understood what he had meant. He growled in annoyance, and headed for the barrier, and was pleasantly surprised when he walked past it with ease. He smirked he knew it had to be Naomi's doing as it seemed that Naruto couldn't get passed the barrier. He took off at high-speed and made it to the shrine entrance quickly. He barged into the shrine following Naomi's scent killing all who got in his way or tried to stop him. Until he reached the center, he looked at a man meditating asking, "Tell me what you did with my intended, and I may spare your worthless life."
Itachi looked up at the enraged demon saying, "I sold her to the slave trader near the Northern border."
Sesshomaru picked the man up, and as he did, e noticed a mark on the man's hand causing Lord Sesshomaru to drop him to the ground. Sesshomaru grinned evilly saying, "It seems Naomi has placed a Miko's curse upon you. I believe it would be crueler to leave you alive."
Itachi looked at him pleadingly saying, "You must kill me I am no longer a dark Miko I am just a regular human male I will never make it to the closest human village alive."
Sesshomaru growled, "You will get no sympathy from me you deserve everything you get. She came to your shrine to help, and you betrayed her. I understand you are on the opposite ends of the spectrum but I would think the Kami's would want both dark, and light Miko's to help each other. But if not you could always have just sent her away she intended you no harm."
Itachi sighed as he headed to the nearest village he only could hope that with the mark covered that they would allow him to stay and that he'd make it there alive. Sesshomaru took off towards the Northwest border following Naomi's scent although it was fading it was still there.
