Two chapters in one day?! I told you that I would do this. Hopefully you read chapter 7 before coming here.
Enjoy!
Slumped against the wall, Inuyasha stared off into space with complete disbelief, clear on his face. "He really did it…He really got me pregnant…" He mindlessly repeated, as if he was in a trance.
He just couldn't believe it. That bastard actually succeeded in getting him pregnant with his seed. His filthy corrupted seed.
Gripping himself with his claws, Inuyasha wanted to claw out his own skin. The skin that the spider demon touched, licked, and breathed upon those nights he…. Gods, Inuyasha couldn't even say it. He felt dirty just by recalling the memories of those nights. Those horrid nights.
Shaking his head, Tears came out of Inuyasha's eyes as the reality of the situation kept on hitting him. "I-I'm pregnant…I'm really pregnant…" Inuyasha, repeated to himself, shaking his head in denial once more, "That bastard really impregnated me with his seed. And now I'm baring his child…his bastard of a child…"
Inuyasha wanted to scream. He could never be cleansed, he could never be the same way he was again for he was dirty. Dirty with not only the bastard's touch, but also with the bastard's child. His fucking child!
Inuyasha glared down at his own stomach. Wanting to claw at it. Wanting to scratch his way into his stomach, so he could rip out the spider demon's unborn child, regardless or not it was still in the process of being formed. For he rather die, then to give birth to an abomination.
Positioning his claws at his flat belly, Inuyasha took a moment before getting ready to dig his claws into his body. However the sudden sounds of light footsteps, approaching his room, stopped him from doing so.
Inuyasha's ears perked up, as he looked up from his flat belly, and watched as the door opened. Revealing Naraku's pale incarnation carrying a tray of food.
"I have brought you, your food of the morning, Inuyasha." Kanna said in her emotionless voice, as she approached the Inu-hanyou with his breakfast.
With disinterested eyes, Inuyasha watched the pale incarnation set down the plate full of raw trout, down, as she bent down to pick up the empty plate besides him.
"I'll return for the plate and with your food for the day in a few hours." Kanna said, as she turned to leave, walking towards the room's door. "Until then."
Inuyasha watched the pale incarnation leave the room, and waited until he was sure that she was gone before taking the plate full of raw trout and dumping it under his futon. Where the meals from the previous day, laid, spoiling under his thin yet thick lining.
'Ugh!' Inuyasha thought, quickly covering the rotting raw meat with the futon, as he held his arm in front of his nose. The smell was nauseating. If anyone asked, he 'accidentally' didn't make it to the wash basin in time for his morning sickness, as he instead emptied out his stomach contents of the meals that he 'consumed' from the day before, on the floor near his futon. 'Yeah, they'll believe that.'
Sighing as he leaned back against the wall, Inuyasha glanced down at his still flat belly, which growled in demand for the food that he just threw away. 'No matter hungry I feel, I'll never eat.' Inuyasha thought, as he tried to ignore the pangs of hunger that he was feeling. 'I'll never eat, as long as his child is in me.'
However, unaware to Inuyasha somewhere else in the castle, Naraku was watching him and his previous actions through a mirror held by the pale incarnation.
"It seems that Inuyasha plans to kill the child through starvation, Master Naraku." Kanna said, in her emotionless voice, as she continued to hold the viewing mirror. "What shall we do?"
Not moving his eyes from his captive, Naraku solemnly said, "He won't be able to get away with it, whether or not I deal with him, Kanna. So I'll put that on hold for a while. Nonetheless…" He paused, as he thought back on the Inu-hanyou's earlier actions. "Since he did try to cause physical harm to the child, I will keep my eye on him. After all, I did see this coming from the start of my plan."
"So what will you do Master Naraku?" Kanna asked, looking at her master with empty blank eyes. "Are you going to punish him?"
"In due time Kanna. "Naraku smirked, glancing at his pale incarnation, before turning his attention back onto the unsuspecting Inu-hanyou. "For Inuyasha doesn't know what lies ahead for him."
An ear piercing cry rang through the darkness, echoing off the walls of the rooms and ran down the empty corridor. Leaving no place untouched.
His ears twitching in response, Inuyasha sat up in his futon and cringed at the sound, 'What the hell is that?' He thought, tuning his ears as he tried to focus on the sound. 'Is that a cry? Is someone crying?'
As Inuyasha continued to listen, he realized that it was a cry indeed, but it was a cry of baby. A baby wailing. 'What the hell?' Inuyasha thought, stunned as he stared at his room's door. 'A baby?'
Drawn by this, Inuyasha got up from his futon, and followed the cry out the door of his room, not realizing that he wasn't wearing the chains that had him bound to the room in the first place. As he walked down the dark corridor, he saw a dim violet light coming from the end of the hall, in another room. 'Could the baby be in there?' Inuyasha thought, as he walked towards the violet light, feeling slightly uneasy about it.
For it felt all too unsettling to Inuyasha. In fact, if you asked him, the whole thing had the word trap written all over it. There was something strange about that cry, that Inuyasha just couldn't get his head around. Nonetheless, he couldn't help but feel drawn to the sound, despite the persisting feeling of danger that probably laid ahead.
'In here.' Inuyasha thought, reaching the room's closed door. As he stood in front of the room's door, he heard another sound besides, the loud cry. He heard the sound of a drum being lightly beaten repeatedly. As if there was no end to it. Puzzled by this, Inuyasha thought, 'What's going on in there? Is there somebody else in there?'
Driven by his curiosity, Inuyasha put his hand in the door slot, and slid it open. Cringing, as the cry of the baby became even louder than before, Inuyasha immediately noticed a thick huge lump of flesh in the middle of the room, beating slowly like a heartbeat, emitting a strange glowing violet light from it. 'What the hell?' Inuyasha thought, staring aghast at the sight before him. 'What the hell is that thing?'
As if it sensed his presence, the lump of flesh's beating increased, causing Inuyasha to see slight movement inside it. 'What the…' Inuyasha thought, as he continued to watch whatever was in the lump, move once more, as if it was alerting the InuHanyou of his existence. '…Is there someone in there?'
As the strange substance in the lump of flesh continued to move around, Inuyasha felt oddly drawn to it. As if that thing was calling out to him. Hesitantly, Inuyasha slowly began to approach the glowing lump of flesh, watching as whatever was inside it, began to move even more.
Yet as he approached it, he quickly realized that the lump of flesh wasn't just some formless lump of flesh after all. No, for it had a form. An accursed form that was in the shape of something that the InuHanyou hated with a passion. "Naraku!" Inuyasha growled, glaring hatefully at the glowing spider shaped flesh before him. "I should've known."
As soon as Inuyasha spoke those words, the whole room around him violently shook and trembled. Instantly, Inuyasha turned around and watched as the windows and door suddenly slam shut, as if they were being controlled by some kind of force. Gritting his teeth in anger, Inuyasha yelled, "Damn it Naraku, show yourself already you damn coward!"
Suddenly chains, multiple metal chains came out of nowhere and grabbed the InuHanyou. Wrapping themselves around him, as if he was their captive. "The hell!" Inuyasha growled, finding himself trapped by the cold strong metal. "Hey, what gives! Why won't these fucking things budge?" Inuyasha yelled, struggling against the metal constraints.
"That's because they're meant to be that way." A smooth yet husky voice suddenly said, alerting the InuHanyou of his presence. "Meant to trap my victims in such a way, so that they will be helpless to fight against me."
"You're such a fucking coward Naraku!" Inuyasha growled, as he looked around the room for the spider demon. "You may think that you've gotten me where you want me, but do I got news for you Naraku. It's only a matter of time until I get out of here and beat your sorry ass!"
However, instead of getting the taunting reply that he expected from his enemy, the spider demon's husky chuckles filled his ear. As if the bastard was amused by the whole situation.
"KuKuKu, foolish Inuyasha don't you see that I've already gotten you where I want you?" The hidden spider demon asked in a taunting tone. "Right now you're practically helpless in my hands."
At this, Inuyasha struggled against the metal constraints even more, trying to prove the spider demon wrong. "…Da-Damn it…Dammit all, Naraku you fucking bastard!"
Inuyasha shot his eyes open as he instantly sat up in his bed. Feeling his heart roughly beating against his rib cage, Inuyasha took deep breaths as he began to calm himself down. '…it was just dream. Just a fucking dream it's not real.' Lifting his hand to wipe the beads of sweat on his head, He felt something cold and hard wrapped around his wrist that prevented him from doing so. 'The hell…' Inuyasha thought, looking down at the chain on his wrist and on his ankle.
Remembrance dawned in his eyes, as he slowly put his hand back down on the soft futon. 'Oh yeah… how could I forget?' Inuyasha looked around the room that he was currently held captive in, as rage bubbled up inside of him.
"Naraku that fucking bastard!" Inuyasha growled, clutching his fist in anger of the spider demon. "Just wait until I get my hands on him. Then he'll regret ever kidnapping me and touching me in the first place!"
Inuyasha glanced down at his stomach with cold eyes, despising the thing that was in it. 'I should kill you…' He thought to himself as if he was talking to it, flexing his free hand near his belly, in a threatening way. '…but I'm not gonna, at least not now that is.' Clutching his hand a fist once again. 'I just got to get out of here first, then I'll kill you.'
With that said, Inuyasha looked at the door, sensing another presence behind it, 'It's probably a guard.' He thought, as an idea suddenly came to mind. 'That's it, a guard!' Running the idea once more in his head, a smirk made its way on his face, as he played with the hope of freedom.
Cautiously, Inuyasha glanced at the door as he got down in fetal position. 'I just gotta do this right.' He thought, wrapping his arms around his abdominal area, as he scrunched his face up in feign pain. "Aargh! Ah it hurts, it hurts so much….Ah…Someone help me!"
However much to Inuyasha's dismay, the guard outside didn't open the door to check what was going on or at least see if he alright. 'Maybe he didn't hear me.' Inuyasha thought, as he began crying out in feign pain once again only louder this time. Yet, as before, the guard outside still didn't open to check if the InuHanyou was alright or not. And Inuyasha knew that the guard heard him, for he cried out loud enough for his voice to travel down the corridor. Obviously it was just that guard didn't give a rat's ass about him. 'This fucking jackass…' Inuyasha thought, glaring at the door as he now shouted in anger instead of in pain, "SOMEBODY BETTER COME OVER HERE AND HELP ME! I'M IN PAIN OVER HERE DAMMIT BECAUSE OF THE BABY!"
Surprisingly, the door slid open revealing a muscular orge incarnation of the spider demon, that looked unconvinced, "Why don't you give it up half breed? I can smell that your lies from outside, so you're not fooling anyone."
Inuyasha inwardly tsked at the fact that he was discovered so quickly and so easily, but didn't didn't let it show, "ARGH…Wh-Who says that I'm lying?...Haa…Ah… I-I'm really in pain over here. Mmm….Ooh my stomach, it hurts. It hurts so much!" He continued, hoping that the orge demon would believe him.
However the orge guard still looked unconvinced, making Inuyasha want to knock that look off his face. "Haa…Haa, y-you still don't believe me? Ho…How cruel…Ahh!...Ugh, my stomach…" Inuyasha moaned in feign pain, as he rolled on his side. "M-My stomach…"
"…Well it does somehow smell in here." The orge demon finally admitted, looking as stubborn as he first came in. "Like the smell of rotting food."
"Ugh, my stomach's turning by just the mention of it…" Inuyasha lied, moaning in pain, hoping that the orge demon would catch his lie. "Ahh…The food that was given to me earlier… Haa…haa...Didn't agree with my stomach and made me nauseous….Ugh!"
At this, the Orge demon looked uncomfortable, "U…Um, what do you want me to do? How can I help you?"
Slightly lifting up his head to look at the orge demon, Inuyasha moaned, "Ugh, ta…Take me to the washroom, s…so…Ahh…I can take care of myself there…" The orge demon nodded and immediately took out the chains' keys, which were given to him by the spider demon, and approached the 'sick' InuHanyou.
Inuyasha waited until his both his wrist and ankle was free before slaying the orge demon down with his attack, "Iron reaver soul stealer!" Watching as the demon fell down with its blood spraying out.
"Y-You tricked me halfbreed…" The orge demon gasped out, "I should've known better…Th-Than to trust a halfbreed. "
As it laid there trying to breathe, Inuyasha paid no mind to it and walked towards the door. For he knew that the orge demon was on the verge of death, so waiting for it to die was just a waste of time. Time that he couldn't afford to waste. 'Besides it won't be long before Naraku realizes that I've escaped, so I've gotta make this fast.'
However as he approached the door, he suddenly felt faint and a little lightheaded. 'Wha-What's going on?' Inuyasha thought, leaning against the door as he tried to recompose himself. 'Why am I feeling this way? Could it be because I'm hungry?'
As if answering his questioning, his stomach groaned in response. Aching as it growled. 'I….It can't be…' Inuyasha thought, putting on hand on his stomach. 'How can that even be so?'
He was right. How could it be so when he only didn't eat for a day in half now? For surely, he wasn't that weak, because he's lasted more days than that without food. And sometimes, even weeks! So there had to be another explanation to why he was feeling this way.
'Is it because I'm pregnant?' Inuyasha thought, before immediately growling, and ruffling his hair in frustration. No that can't be, besides he didn't have time for this. He'll give the reason for his condition some thought later, when he was finally out of this place. 'I just hope that the bastard hasn't caught on yet.' Inuyasha thought as he recomposed himself, and ran out the door.
Running down the lathered lilted corridor, Inuyasha fought the persisting aching pangs of hunger that emitted from his stomach, along with the overcoming need to lay down and rest. 'Ugh…Damn it.' Inuyasha thought, as he tried to keep on running. 'I have to keep going. I can't stop, I just can't.'
But it was just too hard too, for he was already feeling a little woozy from the hunger. Losing focus in his eyes, it wasn't long before Inuyasha tripped over his own two feet in the process of running and fell to the ground. Yet, as he fell, instead falling into the wooden floor like he expected to, Inuyasha felt something suddenly wrap around his ankles and wrists that prevented him from colliding with the ground. Leaving him suspended in midair instead. 'What…' Inuyasha hazily thought, looking at the wooden floor that was below him, as he tried to grasp what was going on. 'Why am I-'
"It seems to me that, that you could care less to whatever happens to the child," A voice suddenly said, interrupting the InuHanyou's train of thought. "Is that right, Inuyasha?"
Immediately registering who the voice belonged to, Inuyasha's eyes shot open as he glared at its owner, "Naraku."
The spider demon narrowed his eyes in annoyance, as soon as he caught the gaze of his captive. "Why am I not surprised that you would do something as foolish like this, Inuyasha? However I didn't know that you would go as far as to starve yourself in attempt to kill your own child. I must say Inuyasha, I didn't know that you had it in you."
"Shut the hell up, Naraku!" Inuyasha growled. "You know damn well why I tried to do that, since you're the one responsible for it in the first place. Who says that I fucking want the damn thing anyway? You're the one forcing me against my will to have it. So you have no right to judge me!"
Giving the InuHanyou a dark look, Naraku continued to hold on to his captive. "You're right, I don't have a right to judge you. But that doesn't mean that I should ignore the fact that you tried to kill our child, not even once but a few times already."
Before Inuyasha could open his mouth to retort, Naraku continued, "No, instead I think that this sort of behavior deserves a punishment, don't you agree?"
Narrowing his eyes in suspicion as he continued glaring at the spider demon, Inuyasha asked, "What kind of punishment?"
Smirking almost wickedly at the InuHanyou, Naraku simply said, "The type of punishment that fits the crime. By trying to run away and even to go as far as to kill the child, you have betrayed me Inuyasha. And every type of betrayal deserves a punishment."
As soon as Naraku finished speaking those words, Inuyasha instantly felt his neck ache in pain, as he felt the pain slowly spread throughout his body. As if he was being injected with some type of poison. "Wha-What is thi…AHHH!" He cried out, as he tried to move his hands to grasp the sore aching area on his neck that seemed release something in him that caused him pain. Excruciating pain that felt too much for him to handle. It wasn't long before he was screaming at the spider demon to stop whatever he was doing.
"Why should I?" Naraku asked in a taunting tone, amused by the scene in front of him. "You didn't stop starving yourself when you were trying to kill the child, so why should I? After all, it's only fair, isn't it?"
Screaming at the intensity of the pain, Inuyasha desperately shook his head at Naraku, all the while, pleading with his eyes for the spider demon to stop. For Inuyasha did not have the strength to bear the pain any longer, since his body was already feeling weak and tired from not eating for a while. He didn't need any more stress on it, he was in enough pain as it is.
To his utter relief, the spider demon stopped whatever he was doing, but still held the InuHanyou up in midair with his tentacles. However, because of the intensity of the pain that he went through, Inuyasha bent over and heave whatever he had in his empty stomach. Tasting the sour yet bitter after taste of his vomit in his mouth, Inuyasha thought he was going to lose it and throw up once again, but instead he just weakly groaned.
"Do you know why you feel so weak?" Naraku asked, piercing through his thoughts once more. "Well do you, Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha wished that he had the strength and the energy to strangle the spider demon. It was his fucking fault he was like this. Inflicting pain on him and acting like he didn't do anything, the damn bastard. Feeling too weak to retort, Inuyasha just groaned in response.
"Besides the punishment that I gave you, the reason why you're feeling this way is simply because you're hungry." Naraku calmly said, watching as the Inuhanyou scoff at him for stating the obvious. "And being that you're pregnant, you need to eat for the sake of the child otherwise your body will find some other way to provide the nutrients that the child needs in order to survive. Can you guess what the other way is?" Naraku paused, but seeing that the InuHanyou was too weak to answer him, he continued.
"If your mind is processing what I'm saying, then you have probably already figured out what the method is. Since you have not eaten for a while now, the child has taken and will continue to take the nutrients that you already have in your body, and feed off it until you have no more of it or at least until you decide to eat again. But because of the way that you acted earlier, you probably didn't know that, did you Inuyasha?"
No he didn't know that. Inuyasha didn't know that the reason why he was feeling so weak was because he had a fucking leech inside him. If he had known, then he wouldn't had wasted the food given to him.
Rage and annoyance boil up inside Inuyasha, as he processed his thoughts some more. This fucking bastard…Then why the fuck was he punished if Naraku had known that the child was robbing him like that? Did the bastard just want to torment him or something?
As if hearing his thoughts, Naraku said, "I punished you not because you had succeeded in starving the child, but because you tried to kill him." Naraku paused, allowing that that to sink in before he continued, "Besides don't you want to know how I was able to inflict so much pain on you, without even laying a finger on you to do so?"
The reaction Naraku got was instant, in fact he couldn't help the smug look that made its way on his face, as the his captive immediately looked at him with interested yet desperate eyes. "Oh? So you do?" Naraku taunted, enjoying the now annoyed look that the InuHanyou gave him in response. "Well I would tell you, but I'll leave that for another day instead. Furthermore, it would give your mind something to ponder on in the meantime."
Mustering up any strength that he had left, Inuyasha jeered at the spider demon, "Go to hell, you fuckin- AHHH!" He suddenly cried out, throwing his head back, as he felt the unbearable pain from return full force. "AR…ARGH…ST…STOP!"
However the spider demon didn't stop, instead he just maintained the control he had over the punishment, relentless allowing the InuHanyou to stay in pain until, his screaming started to die down.
Feeling somewhat numb, Inuyasha didn't notice when Naraku had released him from his torment until he found himself being carried into the spider demon's arms. However after the all the stress and excruciating pain that he just went through, he couldn't find it in him to care. For he was too tired to. Weakly looking up at Naraku's solemn face, Inuyasha's eyes started to feel heavy as they began to lose focus.
The last thing he heard the spider demon say was, "I hope that this served as lesson to you to never think about betraying me again Inuyasha, otherwise only more pain will await you."
Naraku is so evil.
Don't worry, children in the womb don't do that in real life pregnancies. It's only for this story that they take nutrients from the mother if the mother is not eating properly. And as strange as it is, the pain that Naraku is inflicting on Inuyasha will not harm their child in anyway shape or form. It should, but for the sake of this story-as well during the time I wrote the chapter when I didn't know any better- it just doesn't.
Alright so the next chapter will be the one that I was stuck on for years before I finally completed it. That chapter is chapter 9 and that will be cut in half because it's so long. I also need to edit it as well. Now the updates have finally caught up to the current chapter that I'm currently working on (10). Hopefully the release of that one won't take so long.
Don't forget to review positively. They are greatly appreciated!
