Kagome's voice finally died off in her throat. Tears were running freely down her porcelain like cheeks uncontrollably. It hurt. It hurt so much that she had difficulties to even breathe.
When she had screamed at Naraku that he could very well screw himself since it was sure as Hell that she wouldn't let him lay even one of his dirty fingers on her, she had seen his face morphing from his usual mysterious and evil smirk to a horrible snarl. She had known at that moment that she had gone too far and he was murderously angry at her for interfering with his plan to become the strongest 'demon' of Japan but she won't let him win, even if it was at the cost of her life. So she was ready to suffer the consequences to have gone against him.
Yes, she had been ready to feel his anger on her again. However, she had thought that he would 'just' slap her as he had done before when she had spit at his face. Over the pain she had been surprised. She hadn't been ready for the siring burning sensation against the sensible skin of her thigh.
She had totally overlooked and forgotten the existence of the tea cup. Funny, when two minutes ago, she had been so shocked to see this same cup of tea in his hands that she had for a moment see only that. For a second, she was thankful that it was 'only' a cup of tea and not the entire teapot.
Her body was trembling from the pain on her leg.
That's when he bent down, bringing his face only centimeters from hers. His obvious anger was flashing hotly in his red eyes. He wasn’t finished with her, that it was obvious.
"You will bend to my will. You WILL give yourself readily to me and in consequence, give me the offspring I desire."
The cup of the fragile porcelain in his hand cracked and exploded with the strength of his anger.
"You will do as I say or I will break you in such a way that you will soon beg me to take you and end it all."
With that said, she felt something rip through her skin. She couldn't stop a small whimper from escaping her lips that she tried to cover with a glare in his direction.
That's when she realized that the object he had used to slash through her already injured leg was none other than one shard of the tea cup he had just broken. Kagome gritted her teeth tightly when she could feel the blood running to the interior of her tight. She realized that he wouldn't change his mind and wouldn't let the matter fall. Not that much surprising, knowing the devious hanyou. But she will not break that easily. The lives of hundreds, no thousands of people were in the balance. She will resist with all her might.
She would rather die than let the vile hanyou anywhere near her or her womb. She wasn't a baby machine and even less HIS. Just the disgust she felt at that thought was enough to convince her to not let him win, even if no other life was at stake.
"You will give yourself to me willingly…"
His hot breath brushed on her face as he was speaking, making her attention snap anew on him and what he was doing. If she had the possibility of movement, she would have backed away. He was way too close for her comfort.
He bent even closer, almost nose to nose and whispered, sending cold shivers running through her spine.
"….or I will break you."
With that said, he attacked her other leg, her arms, drawing blood again and again. Kagome tried to stay in control and not show her pain to her torturer, but it rapidly became too much for her and she finished by just screaming her pain to the Heavens...

Back with Inuyasha, on the other side of the well …
……………………
When Inuyasha touched down on the other side of the well, in the future, he took his usual pause of a second to get used to the smell before jumping out and pulling open the well house's door in a sharp and short movement, making the building almost quaver on its foundations.
He looked around for a second to make sure that no one was there to see him. Last time he came to the future to retrieve the missing miko, he had jumped in her world without hesitation and Kagome had sat him rather forcefully because he hadn't paid attention before walking out of the well's house, frightening in the process the people present on the family shrine lands. Some of them had seen him really clearly and apparently, explaining the presence of a silver-haired and golden eyed man, wearing on old fashion red haori and hakama, with puppy ears and a katana at his side, isn't an easy task...
Inuyasha took a second look to make sure that the crazy old man wasn't lurking around, waiting to throw some useless sutras of his creation on his face or dumping some foul-smelling liquid. The smell had attacked his sensible nostrils and had taken several days to finally wash off. The young Inu-hanyou didn't particularly wish to experience it a second time.
Luckily, the old man didn't seem to be around. He was about to dash towards the house when he spotted the wench's little brother, in his school uniform, walking towards the steps leading out of the shrine's site.
As if feeling eyes on him, Souta turned around to look towards the well's house. A smile grew on his face when he saw the man...err...hanyou he secretly, or not so secretly, worshiped, standing there at the door.
At first, the young boy was happy to see him but he realized that the presence of the hanyou from the past in the future, right now, wasn't normal.
"Inuyasha, what are you doing here? Is something wrong in the past?"
"I'm here for Kagome." The hanyou answered gruffly.
At his words, the young boy froze in front of him. Immediately, the anger that had risen in him because of her lateness disintegrated.
"But Inuyasha, she went back on the other side of the well three days ago...Do you mean that you didn't see her?" Souta said, panic rising in him.
"She wanted to surprise you, so she left earlier. But you, where were you?! Weren't you at the well, waiting for her like always?"
Remorse hated at Inuyasha’s stomach.
Panic had led to anger as the young boy was literally shaking in rage. Inuyasha took unconsciously a step back, shock to see the usually tranquil and rather timid child almost snarled at him.
"I…I was a-away for a few days, so I didn't see her coming back " The hanyou told him, amazingly quiet.
But the boy, apparently, wasn't satisfied with his answer. He sputtered. "W-what do you mean, you weren't there?! And you haven't seen her at all in the last three days?!! You are supposed to be her protector. You are supposed to protect my sister!" Souta all but screamed at the flattened-ears hanyou, tears already gathering in his eyes at the frightening thoughts of what could have happened to Kagome.
"What are you yelling about Souta?" Came the voice of Grandpa, as the old man was making his way towards them, narrowing his eyes at the demon standing in front of his grandson, and then snapping his attention to the obviously emotionally troubled boy.
"Inuyasha hadn't waited for Kagome on the other side of the well. She left three days ago but he didn't know and hasn't seen her!!"
"What?!? You demon! Where is my grand-daughter?!" Shot the old man in the direction was the half-demon was standing a moment ago, only to find the spot empty.
Inuyasha had zapped towards the well when the two humans were speaking with each other.
He felt like a jerk. There he had been cursing Kagome for her laziness and for being late, when the futuristic Miko had gone out of her way to come back three days earlier to make him happy, knowing her.
Worst, he hadn't been there to welcome her to the past, like he always does.
Again, he had failed her. Something must have happened to her when she was walking from the well towards Kaede's hut, alone. She wouldn't have left without telling the old hag first. Again he had left her unprotected while he was with his past love, Kikyo.
He shouldn't have left for so long before coming back or he shouldn't have left at all. He was really a worthless half-breed. He had sworn to protect her and again he had failed her.
She was weak, maybe not as weak as he pretended but not really able to defend herself. She may say that she can, and the others may say it too, but she was just a weak human.
As soon as he touched the other side, he jumped out. He started to sniff the air and cursed his stupidity.
He had jumped and was on the other side, ready to scowl at the girl, when if he had stopped a second, he would have smell that her scent on the hard old wood of the well was a couple of days old and not more.
At that moment, he saw the others arrived in the clearing, no doubt to welcome the young Miko back. Well, they are one short on the Miko side right now. He saw Shippo run towards him and then froze.
Immediately, the ears of the hanyou went flat on his head.
When they finally reached his side, the monk asked, "Is there a problem, Inuyasha? Where is Kagome?"
At his question, the demon slayer tensed up before him and sent him a death glare.
Inuyasha cleared his throat. "The wench came back early, from what I had gathered from her brat of a brother." He said, leaving alone the part where he had flee, leaving the young Miko's brother crying behind.
Without really waiting for their reaction, knowing that he wouldn't like it, Inuyasha went on all four and tried to catch her scent.
Sango was about to shake the Hell out of Inuyasha and throttle him when she felt a hand, surprisingly on her shoulder. She turned around just to see Miroku shaking his head. The slayer huffed and accepted, they needed to find Kagome's location and so needed to let the hanyou alone…for now.
Inuyasha continued his examination, unaware of what was happening behind him. He walked around, still smelling noisily at the tall herbs of the clearing.
He followed the trail and found what he had feared from the start: Kagome had been attacked as soon as she stepped back on this side of the well. He growled low in his throat and cursed at his stupidity anew. He shouldn't have been away for so long!
"What is it, Inuyasha?" Asked Shippo. "Did you find where Kagome went to?" The poor kitsune added, truly frightened by what could have happened to the Miko from the future.
Shippo was too young to be able to follow a lead already a few days old, so he had to wait for the hanyou. All members of the group were observing their hanyou friend on all fours sniffing the ground, then the air, and then back sniffing the ground while growling to himself. They waited as patiently as they could but after a moment, they couldn't wait for more longer. Clearing his throat lightly, the monk step forwards.
"Did you find something, Inuyasha? Can you tell us? Because, you know that we haven't your sense of smell." Asked Miroku, in hope to calm Sango down before she pounced on the unsuspecting hanyou and beat it out of him. He look down to try to find traces too that would help them to find their missing friend.
Albeit gruffly, the young hanyou answered his questions. "I can smell Youkai scents intermingled with her scent." He then growled before continuing. "From the trace on the soil, I can tell there has been a fight."
"Hai, I'm sure too. But look over there, isn't it ashes?" The monk added.
Immediately, Inuyasha went to where the monk was pointing, to examine the traces of the miko presence the others members of the pack had found. He was even a little shocked.
"Yeah, I can smell two demons dead here." Confirmed Inuyasha, slightly startled at what the supposed weaker member of his pack had succeed to do without any exterior help.
"See, Inuyasha, Kagome can defend herself well now." Said proudly the small kit.
"Yeah, well, it was all great until a third came by. She didn't fight against that one. He must have taken her by surprise, knock her out and left with her since after that, their two scents remain together." Said in his usual gruff voice.
He wouldn't tell them or even admit to feeling it, but he was impressed by the progress Kagome had done. Even more, from her attackers' scent, he could tell that it wasn't low weak youkai that had kidnapped their friend. But something was bothering him.
"There is something strange in the demons scents, but I can't pinpoint what."
The neko, whose had been almost invisible and forgotten as she was silent, jumped from her mistress shoulder and went to take a sniff of the traces too. When the scents washed her extremely sensible nostrils, she hissed.
"It's seemed as if Kirara can smell something wrong too." Said Sango, more and more worried for her dear friend.
"Hai, I can feel a deep malevolence in the era too." Started the monk, worry marring his face.
The slayer immediately tensed, fear gripping her heart.
"What do you mean?" She asked, her voice quavering slightly.
"Could they have been sent by Naraku?" Asked the kitsune, his body trembling.
"Come on, Shippo, don't think the worst-" But Miroku was interrupted before been able to complete his sentence, by a cursing Inuyasha.
"What is it Inuyasha?" Sango asked, worry evident in her voice
"Don't know, but it's possible." The hanyou grudgingly admitted.
"It's all your fault!" Squealed Shippo. "If you hadn't left for who knows where without telling anyone, Kagome would be here and safe!"
"Calm down, Shippo. Come on, we have to inform Kaede of what is happening and we will then decide what to do." Miroku calmly explained, trying to pacify the volatile emotions flying through their group.
Sango gripped tighter at the straps of Hiraikotsu to prevent her from jumping on the hanyou to beat some sense in him. She was dieing to just do that but refrained, knowing that they would need the hanyou in one piece to be able to find the lost miko. So she just contented herself by sending him a death glare before taking the road leading back to the village.
Inuyasha couldn't suppress a shiver to run up and down his spine at the icy look that was sent his way. To cover it, he crossed his arms on his chest and turned his nose up, signs of his stubbornness, "Feh".
That's when he received a hard pull on his sensible ears by Shippo.
"Come here you runt!" The hanyou yelled, ready to take off after the young kitsune to get him back, but he froze in mid-jump when he detected a salty scent clinging to the young Shippo; he was crying.
His ears flattered on his head in self-reprimand, Inuyasha walked towards the village after them.

……………………
Back in the cell, with Sesshoumaru …
……………………
Sesshoumaru was still pinned to the wall to his grand dismay. Worse than the boredom, now he was trying to calm down his beast. The moment he had heard that scream, filled with nothing but agonizing pain, his more primal side had surged out. He had rarely felt so much hatred and anger from his vicious beast.
It was pulling at his chains with such violence that Sesshoumaru had difficulties to contain it.
It had never been that way before. For a moment, all he could hear was that horrifying scream echoing in his mind, but horribly it was not the last.
Soon after, some other muffled screams followed, all coming from the delicate throat of the human Miko.
But something wasn't right here. It was strange that he could so easily hear her yells of pain when he couldn't hear anything else from the outside of that damned cell.
He had the suspicious disturbing feeling that the cellar had been made with that purpose in mind: so the prisoners could only hear the pain inflicted on the others. It was just sick. Gut-wrenchingly sick.
Even his prison back in the Western Lands weren't that way. Well, they weren't done to make you cut off from the rest of the world, where you could only hear the pain and nothing else. Strange but not a stupid strategy to destabilize one’s enemy.
Sesshoumaru was finally pulled out of his thoughts when he now couldn't hear Kagome's screams anymore. His beast growled more viciously, obviously really disturbed. Then, it became uncontrollable at the idea of the possible demise of the human Miko.
His beast, as you can call it, isn't really an entity inside Sesshoumaru, that would be a little sick, but it was more like his baser instincts.
And right now, his beast, his instincts, were almost totally out of his control.
Sesshoumaru started to pull at his shackles to go to help the Miko, but he was still very securely pinned to the wall.
It wasn't like he really cared for the Miko’s well-being or anything, the thought only of Naraku anywhere near her was disturbing enough by itself. He couldn't lie to himself anymore. Somewhere along the way, his instincts were seeing the young human as part of his pack, albeit a very low level and not wanted one but one still.
She traveled with his half-brother for years now and even if it disgusted the proud DaiYoukai, at some level, the half-breed, even if an insult to his clan by birth, was still part of his pack, a very miniscule one, but regrettably one all the same.
He wouldn't bat a lash if something was to happen to his half-brother or the human, but he couldn't accept a dishonorable death for any of his pack members, even the hated. That's why he had interfered when the hanyou had lost it and became a vulgar beast.
InuYasha was a disgrace in himself, not even able to control his own instincts, but it would be worse for the entire clan's honor, and his leader, if he was to die like an animal.
So, from what he could understand, his instincts were telling him to protect the human miko, as he would his half-brother, since the two of them were regrettably a part of his pack.
However, the Miko was the only one of his half-brother' followers that his beast viewed as a far distant member of his pack. Even without the link of blood relation, his instincts were more ready and almost vicious now to protect her, while it was just a murmur when it concerned his half-brother. It wasn't really because she was the first one that have joined forces with Inuyasha, but mostly by her actions in the past and even here, in the past few days.
First, she had released the half-breed from his tree, which he had foolishly been pinned to by a human wench. It wasn't enough to event merit a glance from him but it was still something.
She, a simple human, was able to actually bring forth the half-breed's natural instincts strongly, like he had never seen before, making the hanyou more powerful just by his wish to protect her. If he remembered correctly, and he always did, it's the first time Inuyasha had shown some of the instincts that were normally associated to their breed, other than the self-protection that was common to even low level youkai. Because of her, his half-brother was able to show that even if he was a stupid dirty half-breed, their great father's powers were showing through the inadequacy of his human blood.
She was defiant like he had never encountered before in his life. Females are naturally frightened by him and submissive in front of his powers. Most of the demonesses, even if some have some characters in private, were like that. It was the same when it concerned the human females. From what he had been able to see without really trying to, the females of the species were extremely submissive to the males, even when he didn't deserve it. But she wasn't at all. Even against him, in his presence or in battles, she was showing only nervousness and a small amount of fear. It was a behavior he was used to witnessing only when it concerned his own mother. The others trembled in fright before him.
She never judged a being by his species but by his actions and even by that, he wasn't sure that she was even able to hate anyone. Maybe Naraku had this privilege, and still, he wasn't even sure of that. She shone with a purity that was even too much for a Miko.
And then, there a part of her personality, the best part, she had show in the last days. Her caring nature towards him, who was supposed to be an enemy, had shocked him to the core. And that's what had pleased his beast immensely, showing him that she was subconsciously acknowledging her place in his pack. He knew now that she couldn't help it, but it was behavior he had never seen to this extent before in his long life.
He didn't really know if it was really qualified as a quality or not, but her actions had pushed his beast to action and to react more violently against her pain. She had, even involuntarily, acknowledged their small link by trying to protect him by taking hits for him, and by giving her help to his recovery. In a way, his beast had already viewed her as member of his pack, even obliging Sesshoumaru to save her live in the past, and now that she had acknowledged her membership to his pack by her actions, Sesshoumaru could do nothing more than to follow his instincts to some extent and protect her.
But he was still dumb-founded by her actions.
But more than that, they had come to an arrangement of sort, or at least, he had. She had to live until they get out and then he will go back to caring less what happened to her.
Plus, with all the spells used and the others possible things the dark hanyou must have up his sleeve, he could assuredly need her powers. And for that, she must stay alive.
Now that he had calmed down and had time to reflect on the subject, he wasn't as angered that he had needed her help with the poison in his injuries or at her for having tried to protect him, even if it was ridiculous for a weak human to think that she could protect him.
In fact, what did shock and disgust Sesshoumaru greatly was the fact that she, a weak human woman who hadn't a drop of youki in her bloodstream, was showing more instincts like a real youkai would, than his own half-brother. In fact, she was showing more protective nature than there was normally in a real canine-youkai, more than most of the female inu-youkai would, their greed for power often clouding their instincts.
It was a ridiculous action on her part, but it was something he could understand. He may be more cold and distant than others inu-youkai, but that doesn't mean his natural instincts weren’t raging in him. So he understood her reasons behind her actions, he probably understood her protective nature better than herself, and it didn't disturb him as much anymore. But he won't let words spread on that matter outside of this cell.
He was still lost in his thoughts, when one of the ears of the DaiYoukai caught the click of the door resounding through the silence. It was as if a veil had been lifted from his senses. He could finally hear and smell what was happening just outside his cell for a second. But as soon as the door was opened, the scent of blood assaulted his sensible nostrils and overpowered everything else. HER blood…
