Endless Search From The Buried Unknowns

By Inuyashas Youkai

Through A Blanket Of Lusty Haze, Behind Closed Eyes, & A Change Within Those Of Power, Showing Outward

As the women slept , those whom appealed to them not only because of the way they looked , but also because of either the power within themselves , or the power of control , the ones who held the reigns could create just by having them held captive, while observing them change in appearance somewhat to detour recongnition . The only thing that could not be removed from them was their unique scent , but that could be tampered down a bit to confuse the smartest of demonic scences , at least for a time . The demon females would come to have a more human appearance , while the human soon would have the traits of a demon nature, and without anything telling the prisoners otherwise , neither would know any better than to do as they were told , as their new masters saw fit.

The heat coming off the women resting in waves , would see what they had depicted within their heads, and coinciding with what their desires sought most , and caused the most delectable aroma of unsated lust for what they were being shown . For those who hadn't shown to any degree of ones they sought after or had willingly admitted to themselves , the ones in control would make that decision for them, and to whatever means nessessary to fit into their plot , as it would recieve the most gain.

Grazing their eyes alongst the slick curves adorned in sultry silk clinging to panting bodies , while seeing to what had each one so bothered in the ways of desire made each one who's eyes feasted upon them smirk in the success of being able to have this control over so many who possessed such power over their enemies. Upon coming to the sight of a demoness with silkened pewter as it rolled off her shoulders as melted steel , to form around her delicious plains of unveiled matured flesh , and filling out that of her crimson smooth attire , quite temptingly to boot, had the masculine forms shaking in their task to prevent themselves in taking her for themselves. Within the mind of the one who had for the moment captured their attention , envisioned something rather wild behind her closed eyes than the others , as she was lead to believe that what was placed for her to see , was actually happing to her untouched body , for she was a young virgin miko, and would prove rather successful if she could entice not only one , but two.

~ Visions Of Willing Flames, By Many~

Two bodies became entwined with another , in passionate flames of lust , as each one continued to consume the other , and soon another joined them in their furiously enflamed path, against the tasty flesh offered , devouring it completely so that in the end nothing was untouched in their scent . Between the two lusting males in control of her lithe , and panting body , both by the ministrations , and only to see how far they could bring her , told by her moaning mews.

A man , standing alone with his devious ,naughty thoughts ,caused by the desires, brought on by his cursed hand , as he lightly stroked his throbbing member in private , and before another feminine shadow soon joined him to assist him in achieving his release. The two soon lured into each others touch , as each part of their bodies craved to learn every inch of the other, rather quickly . It had only became to soon that the two had came falling from their heightened ephoria , and crashing down together as one . All the while ,the prove of their sated wishes for each other in dominating their partner of choice , was splattered upon one another , with their now combined scent.

A younger victim watching the moon, as she bathed, while dreaming of a adolescent male , and far away from her reach at the time , with only remember seeing his presence accompanied by a sharpened sickle ,attached to a chain. It wasn't long that the girl was alone, for the abrupt enslavement of ones arms quickly took her in his possession , for the one she had envisioned had came to her once again to ravish her all the more, and only because she had begged for his return.

The man with dark hair ,and violet eyes , scanned through the leaves , as he rushed through the trees looking for the woman that he sought in the form she had most desired. Once coming to a clearing , one claiming to carrying the title of his namesake , a woman laid within the grass , stripped of all of her clothing , and bared for him to see. The woman quivered , as his eyes hungrily traced the outline of her curves, and darkening with lusty desires of what it was that her body made him want to do to her. Watching him stalkingly walk towards her as his prey, even as a human made the woman melt between his now advancing fingertips, as they came to grasp her breast with the slightest brush of his hand.

~ Entrapped By ~

Two entities watched from with the darkened corners of where they were placed by their own choosing , as they continued to observe upon the ones they currently held captive without their master's knowledge , at least not yet. It was something they had sought on their own , and bore no need to concern the being from which they to were created. Taking note that the shadowed forms from within the small enclosure in front of them , sealed by their own devices so that only they can go in or out , or be able to have the sight to see within.

There was one in the right corner, and one on the left , both stalkingly devouring the sight they had achieved from within their very own eyes, and in result a devilish smirk , while hidden by the black mist , grew widely across the width of their faces, as their eyes shown sheer madness that what they had desired had surely come.

The one on the right was a tall, slightly masculine moth demon , with pointed elf ears , sharpened fangs , and one whom had enormous amounts of power to hold over their victims to make them do , as they pleased. This demon went by the name of Byakuya. Byakuya stood , leaned up against the nearby wall dressed to prefection , with his hair pulled into a highly strung ponytail, held with a simple leather cord, as the silkened black ,streaming mane fell cascadingly down his back , and past his shoulders.

The second , Muso , was like Byakuya in the way that both of them carried the connection of being Naraku's detached incarnations, but the demons appearance , as well as the powers gained by the bond with their master, differed greatly. Muso was created when Naraku attempted to expel the remaining part of Origumo from himself. He did this because he was unable to slay Kikyo, since Origumo's would not let him. Muso had the form of a faceless man with a spider scar on his back. He goes around killing many people to take their face, eventually ending up with the face of the monk Muso(which is where his name came from).

A third had also joined them from time to time , but at present , he was not near for his scent was long disspaited , but as agreed their plans were no longer to be prolonged until the last one arrived , and both were reassured that soon his arrival would come to pass, as it was expected. As it was that he , himself had led the two girls :Sango , and Kagome away from their protective stronghold with the promise of illusions within their mind , like he had to the occupants of the room, by being able to see within their memories, Taking on apart of someone that was dear to them without any knowledge of it truly happening, then removing it completly along with everything else the women ever knew, but what this man wanted them too.

There were two others within their mist , but they only came when both were called upon , one was a man named Mukutso , A member of the Shichinintai ,(Band of seven , but now another tool made for Naraku's benefit ), this little man is very ugly, so he subsequently can't get a woman...at least, not by ethical means. His skills with poisons to paralyze their prey came in handy with the groups numerous captures. The second of that who would wait to be called upon , Menomaru, who had the power of control , among his more deceitful accomplishing talents , to take what he wished at any time.

To them , they felt they were invincible in their plan coming to fruition, especially that their creator , to some , hadn't been privy to the tasks they were involved in for the own mutual benefit , and in time would be his downfall when the secretative group of men were through with their deed. Although they had not counted on the minor variables that had been remained unknown within the group that they had sought a target , but expected such to still be unseen , even though without any knowledge of what it would be , and so they created an out , a back up weapon if you will to insure that the threat wouldn't overcome them.

The escape they had created involved one of Minomaru's own , and simply because of the possessed trait to duplicate anothers talent within her very hands. Hari , and Ruri , willing slaves to the moth demon , only to please him in whatever was conjoured up to his gain would be their escape if things should go wrong , using what they had gained over time from their numerous opponents , even the advanced version of a windtunnel from the monk , Miroku. Since their last walk of life to their ressurection , the windtunnnel , as well as many others gained before their demise , had improved ten fold upon their reawakening .

Glancing at his watch the one mentioned prior , Byakuya, had decided that the time has come for them to test if what they had done to their captive's memories had in fact worked , as he prepared himself ready to envoke one of his greatest illusions to the ones kept within the daft room in front of them. Before long the image of where they were contained soon began to change so slowly that when the flames were lit within it would be in fact hard to notice that of what it was, a illusion , as the visage blurred slightly in the dark , like rippling water in a large puddle.

It wasn't long that quickly enough the room was ignited with the flames bursting from the taunting wicks , begging for the spark to take hold, and at the same time before it had a blackened mist filtered through the room , causing the enhanced haze the occupants were currently placed under. Once it had enlightened the room surrounding the ones trapped within , it had as a whole took on a much different shape , look , and feel to it. Where it was plain stone borders forming that of their prisoners cell , it had distorted to look as a room with plush carpets of fresh blood , and the walls of a deep forest of trees , at least that was how it was made to look anyways . Alongst the walls were elaborate furnishings , and paintings lingering within the borders of the new welcoming atmosphere.

~ Succulent Mindless Prey~

Once the light was allotted to them what felt as a cold , and dank prison was immediately dismissed for the luxury that it had appeared to be to the women within the mysterious stronghold. Each one had stood to cautiously explore inside of where they were being kept ,as soon as they could see to what was around them , and disregarding the foul stench that followed with the allowance of sight when their stomach were preoccupying them with the need for finding a enormous table with all kinds of tempting , deliscious foods , and soon all of them gathered abruptly towards the smell to eat greedily, as though they hadn't eaten in some time, for which in truth they had not.

Following thereafter, soft music began to play in the background from some unknown source , and then a comforting , but deviouly sounding huskiness rattled against the wall, as one spoke fluidly.

"Welcome home ladies , I am grateful that we found you when we had , before that intruder had followed through with his unforseable act , but as you can see by your disobedience in wandering off , it came with a price . I do appologize that the injuries sustained caused the memories of being here were wiped , therefore I will attempt to make your duties that much easier until such return is granted , but I expect that you do as your asked for your own safety , as much for the status held within our little family niche. We will be opening our doors to invite travelers , offering confort , and entertainment in their desires to break from their weary travels , and I expect you to accomadate them . Is this Understood?"

Once recieving everyone's nod , the doors were opened , as the room soon filled with exhausted travels for whatever reasons seeking their assistance. The scantilly dressed woman scattered about , going this way , and that to welcome their guests , then offer whatever comforts they desired to continue the short escape from their duties

~ The Chase & Falling On Unknown Common Grounds~

The Group , traveled to seek for anything in regards to the woman they sought , and continued relentlessly , regardless of their grwoing exhaustion. Among them , a, Monk , Taiyoukai, Inu hanyou, Wolf Youkai, and Kirara, made their trek , well past sunset , and it wasn't before nightfall that each one decided to settle in for the night . Once seeing that it was only the two brothers still awake , out of curiousity for that of his brother's slightly distracted behavior the elder chose to investigate.

" It would be wise lil brother that you remain with a clear head , until such time that the missing members of your pack are returned..."

" Says you , ya bastard .. If I had been where I should have been then none of this would've happened! They would be here , safe and sound , Sango, as well as Kagome wouldn't be somewhere where I can't be , because I don't know where that is ... Kagome..." Inuyasha had started out in his rant but by the end his voice died into a pained whisper, filled with regret.

"You have a interesting connection with the miko within your pack, Inuyasha , and here this Sesshomeru thought that your loyalties fell with the dead wench ..."

"Shuddup ! Not that this is any of your business, but ... Lately I wander if that is the choice that I should be following , and instead staying with Kagome.."

Growl...

"Hey , what in the hell is up with you anyway ! You have been acting funny lately when it comes to her , and I don't like it !" Inuyasha spat in response to the stubborn growl that came from within the elder's thoat.

"This Sesshomeru suggests that you should stick to matters that concern you before your actions lead to your demise , mutt!" Sesshomeru warned vehemously.

"If it has to do with Kagome , than it is my business ! What is your intentions with my Kagome !" Inuyasha growled without thinking to stop before the words flew from his lips ..

"Since when , as far as this Sesshomeru was observing you had no desires to complete your claim to the miko, and I will assure you that I have no such plans to do so, but because you have given up that right , the miko , as you say , is far game to whomever seeks to possess it ..."

"The hell she will, over my dead body will I allow her the fate of becoming a demons mate , and taking her from the life she deserves! Fuck no !"

"Its amusing , little brother how you offer your life to a woman who you hold no other allegiance to besides your shard detector , and the one portraying a copy of the one whom you hold so dear enough to allow yourself to die with her in hell.. How is it that you plan to stop what happens after you leave this world to the miko ..Hmmm? Maybe I should have challenged your claim long ago , if I knew for the trade of acquiring the Tetsuseiga.."Sesshomeru amended, as his fingertips wrapped firmly around his throat , and following his swift movements to force his brother to obtain what he needed to know, demanded by the beast emerging with. ..

" I don't plan to do so until Kagome is safetly where she belongs , ya bastard so that you or anyone else can ever get their hands on her thats how! My arrangement with Kikyo is none of your concern , but before I do so I will make sure that Kagome is safe , and she is more than what you think asshole !"

"Your words not this Sesshomaru, but maybe , is it that you harbor feelings for the young miko in your protection , and the one whom your willing to die for ...?"

" No! ... I mean .. Maybe , but that doesn't matter ! Kagome, will never know of my affections for her other than a friend because she deserves better than to have a life condemned with the existance of a demon or hanyou like myself or anyone in this time! It's why I do , what I do , and that's why she only knows of my choice for Kikyo, but it doesn't change what she means to me , but she will never know of the sacrifice I made for her to protect her from that fate , or anyone else's whom tries to claim it in this timeline..Fuck ! Why in the hell am I telling you this !"

"Indeed , this information will be quite useful to those whom wish to oppose you in your plan to protect her ..Though this Sesshomaru is curious as to why you speak of her as she comes from a different existance from the one she is now, explain ..."

"Why should I ! I think you already know too fucking much about my intended mate !"

"So .. That's why you protect her , Kagome's presence sings to you, calls for you against your will, but you ignore it for the loyalties of the dead wench ! Why?You will answer me mutt ! Tell me why?"

"Kagome comes from 500 years in the future , traveling here in the form of passing through the well in my forest .. We don't know why she was able to , other than for the completing what was summoned for her to finish , and what Kikyo could not , before she died! Ya happy now..."

"Hn .. Interesting Indeed, but you still havent answered me as to why you ignore the fact that she is your intended mate ? ... "

"Its true , yes ... Although my decision is to protect her from being killed if I were to accept it .. Kagome is my intended life mate , but I an let her go , if it means that she will live..."Inuyasha panted ..

"Pathetic ..." Sesshomaru stated before tossing his brother's body in a disregarded heap on the ground ..

"How does one ignore such as this , Inuyasha ..."

"What do you mean ...?" Inuyasha gasped , trying to regain his breath ..

"How do you ignore something so instinctual as clamiing your lifemate .."

"Why do you ask ? Its not like you will ever lower yourself in takking a mate anyway..!"

"Tell me before my sword find a new place within your gut!"

" It's not easy , and with the constant reminders of her close proximety doesn't help matters , especially after recently discovering whom she was to me after I hjad already promised to stay with the one whom I had thought I loved...Although with practice in resisting the demons present demands it became easier , and it helped that I was able to learn how to make the transformations occur less with managed control of situations to prevent it from emerging .. By doing this I am not only assuring that my decision to protect her remains intact , but also making sure my demon half doesn't have the chance to change it by taking her anyways.."

"Staking alot with chance aren't you little brother , I mean one time your beast emerges , and your plan goes out in smoke .."

"Maybe but it's the best I have at the moment ...What's your interest in me , all of a sudden !"

"Indeed.. It would seem as of late , Unfortunately , that we share the same affliction .."

Shock rushed through the younger sibling's being as the sly confeesion, by his ignorant brother had made itself known within his already stretched brain, and then once what he had said became understood , Inuyasha did something that his brother , Sesshomaru never expected.. Inuyasha bursted out laughing like a hyena , rolling on the floor , as though he had become mad, and encouraging the hateful glare coming from the elder youkai standing not even a foot away from the hanyou's hideous banter ...

"HahahaYou !hahaha Stick up his ass, bastard !hahaha! Seeks his mate ! Hahahahahaha!"

Although , if the hanyou only knew whom his brothers demon had chosen as a mate he may have acted differently , or became much more lured in the insanity that the situation posed...
