Chap 18 – Lost again…

(Back
with Inuyasha)
Inuyasha
had collapsed and had been left alone in the room. Kanna had been there earlier
to take away the baby’s “dead” body. Inuyasha
did not know it but, in fact, everything was staging, they were all pretending to
keep Inuyasha deeply deceived into all the depraved and wicked plot of Naraku.

The baby, Hakudoshi was faking his death, and as
soon as Kanna was far enough from Inuyasha’s room, he opened his eyes.

“Kanna, let me be alone in a room this night, my
body needs to be placed in a comfortable and calm place to mature completely.” Hakudoshi said to Kanna in a demanding tone. Kanna just
continued to walk with him in her arms without demonstrating any change in her
stoic face. When they get in front of Naraku´s room, Naraku himself was by the
door.

“Here
is the baby.” Kanna said emotionless.

“Ah.
How was that Hakudoshi?” Naraku asked. Grabbing Kanna by one arm, Naraku aimed her at another room in the
end of the corridor.

“It was simple; I just made the inu-bitch
think of me as a dead body, now he is there, unconscious. I guess you will enjoy
disposing of him yourself.” Hakudoshi filled in the picture while they
were going to the room.

“Hummm…
interesting… you will be here in this room for now. We will talk more tomorrow, Hakudoshi.”
Naraku said pulling Kanna and Hakudoshi inside the room.

“As you
wish, Naraku.” Hakudoshi replied and once again closed his eyes.

Kanna
placed down the baby on the futon by the window and left without saying or
thinking anything.
*

Naraku
left Inuyasha alone for some days.

During
this time, Inuyasha barely moved, as he was too weak and too miserable to have
any reactions; even eating was somewhat difficult to the hanyou. But the worst
thing for Inuyasha was close his eyes; whenever he slept he would have dreams,
or better said, nightmares. He would have nightmares about
the dead baby as Sesshoumaru finally came to rescue them. Sesshoumaru then would
be very furious with the hanyou and blame him for the baby’s death and in the
dream, Sesshoumaru always ended up saying he would not want Inuyasha anymore.

Inuyasha
was so devastated that he even talked during this nightmares and he would wake
up hyperventilating and crying.
*

Naraku
knew about the nightmares and the younger hanyou’s fears and he planned to use that
information to torture the smaller and younger hanyou when he finally decided
to resume his visits.
*

“Hello
Inuyasha, did you miss me?” Naraku said while he walked around the futon that Inuyasha
was on. Naraku could not hide his lack of pleasure looking at the now pitiful
appearance of Inuyasha. Naraku had been disgusted with Inuyasha’s actual
condition, although he would come to ‘play’ and fuck the hanyou.

“Please,
let me be with my baby.” Inuyasha pleaded.

“Your
baby is dead, Inuyasha; you can not be with him.” Naraku replied, faking a
gentle voice.

“So,
I beg you Naraku-sama, kill me please...” Inuyasha whimpered.

“No,
I can not do that. You see, you are supposed to give me other babies and also
in the future you are going to be back with Sesshoumaru. Isn’t that what you
wanted the most?” Naraku said while his tentacles grabbed Inuyasha’s legs,
spreading them apart, putting in one tentacle and violently shoving in and out
of Inuyasha till he come, totally ignoring Inuyasha’s supplications.
*

The
scene would be repeated every other day. Inuyasha was not eating and was getting
thinner and very weak physically and his youki would be in a level higher than
the level he was when Hakudoshi was draining it. Whenever he would find the
strength Inuyasha would plead to be killed, and that insistence was something
that was getting on the nerves of Naraku.
**

Naraku
finally decided to put an end to Inuyasha’s imprisonment.

“Good
afternoon Inuyasha, I have good news for you!” Naraku said while coming inside
the room followed by Kanna and a bitten Kagura. “I am totally disgusted with you,
so I have decided that it is time to discard you.” With disdain, Naraku grabbed
the broken hanyou by the hair. “I was expecting much more of you. Not this
lamentable excuse of an inu-hanyou that you are.” Naraku let go of Inuyasha,
who simply hit the floor by the futon.

Inuyasha
did not move; he was just waiting the final deadly strike from Naraku. “But do
not worry my dear, I will not kill you--”

When
Inuyasha heard Naraku would not kill him, the smaller hanyou lifted his head,
confused.

Naraku
realizing the confusion, decided to be a little
benevolent and explained his motives. Whispering in the hanyou’s
ears, he said, “I will dispose of you far from here, so your
beloved Sesshoumaru will be able to finally find you sooner or later.” Naraku
chuckled and continued, “Actually, finding you was his only assignment, but I
think he had failed it, don’t you think, Inuyasha?” Getting even closer to the hanyou’s head Naraku licked the already torn ear and once
again whispered to him. “You were all this time in here depending on him to
find you and what you did get? Did he really want to find you or not?” Again
Naragu backed away from Inuyasha and ordered Kanna and Kagura to put a kimono on
Inuyasha. While they were in this task Naraku added. “But… that is not of my
business anymore, since I am going to set you free now.

“Please
Naraku-sama, what do I have to do to be killed? I
can’t be alive. I am not worthy of it. Please--” Inuyasha howling supplication
to Naraku, but he did not get any reply from the evil older, and now powerful,
hanyou. And then in total despair he tried to ask the same thing of Kanna.
“Please Kanna, help me, kill me, or at least help me do it.” Once again, no reply came. As a result, grabbing Kagura’s
clothes, he begged her, “Kagura… you despise me, so please, use your powers and
fighting abilities and kill me.” Inuyasha continued pleading and bawling.

“Kukuku…
Inuyasha, Inuyasha, there is no need to ask them, maybe, I said, maybe, you
could have a little help from any starving youkai in the forest, ne? If you are
lucky enough, some youkai will find you, kill you and eat you. Perhaps not in that order. Even though, try to think about
that,” Naraku said, grabbing Inuyasha by the hair once again and dragging him
out of the room and out of the castle.

Outside,
Naraku, with an evil smirk, engulfed them both in a black cloud of miasma, and took
off in a vertiginous flying velocity. After
some hours Naraku dropped Inuyasha in a river running through a forest somewhere in the Eastern
Lands.

It
was a moonless evening, so Inuyasha was in his ningen form. The fall was nearly
fatal. Inuyasha was horribly hurt, as he almost sank and drowned.
****

The
river current dragged him to a bank where he remained till morning. Then he
returned to his hanyou form and his instinct and his very weak youki guided him to a tree nearby. The tree had a huge
cavity where he hid himself and slept.

Later
that night, he was a little better and starving, so he had to leave his tree to
try to find something to eat. It was then he found an old and broken knife and
he used it in a foolish attempt to kill himself, but once again his instinct and
youki saved him. So, even after bleeding a lot, the next morning when he woke
up, he was once again inside his tree hole, although he was too weak to even
lift his arms. That was when he saw two old ladies approaching. The ladies in
fact were two old miko who had come across the puddle of his blood and the
broken knife in the forest, so they were following its track. They were shocked
to see the scared creature that was laid down inside the tree, and that it was
still bleeding a little and was getting even scarier than it already was. The
sisters were also afraid of the creature, but because they could feel the
sorrow emerging from it, they decided to help it. Inuyasha tried to make them
go away, but he was too weak, and after some ofudas, the miko sisters easily got
him out of the tree and they took him to their house.
*

Two
days later, due to his hanyou blood and the miko treatment, Inuyasha was much
better physically, but emotionally he was still shattered.

At
first he would cry all day long.

Both miko would try to talk with him but he would not talk at
all. He was miserable because of his baby and his own lack of luck and inability
to die. He was also afraid of Sesshoumaru. Inuyasha‘d rather die to face
Sesshoumaru and tell him that their baby was dead due to his incapacity as a
parent.

On
the third day at the miko’s hut, the older miko sister, Kikyo, decided to be more forceful. She took out
all the ofudas from the body of the
creature and sat by its side and asked its name. Inuyasha raised his head and
eyes and looked at her. His fear was still present and also his hatred. ‘Why did they
have to take him out of his tree? Why are they treating his body-- why… why...?’ Inuyasha started to cry again, and he winced
trying to get away from her.

Kikyo
was already impatient and once again asked the creature its name, this time she
got one of the creature’s hands in her hands, holding and trying to pass
through it some assurance. “Please, tell me your name,” she said in a very calm
and warm voice.

Inuyasha
glanced at her with questioning eyes, but still said nothing.

“I am
Kikyo, that--” she pointed to
the other miko preparing something by the fire, “That is my younger sister,
Kaede. We are Shinto miko, we live here in this small hut by this small Shinto shrine
and we help the people from the villages nearby. Tell us a way to help you,
young one.”

“Help
me? No one can help me. I--I--” Inuyasha focused his eyes on the place for the
first time since he arrived and he was hit by a fact. “You are miko and then--
and then you have the ability to defeat and kill youkai, don’t you?” Inuyasha said and without
waiting for an answer he added “So-- I-- I am a youkai, you must kill me…,” his eyes full of tears.

“We
would have killed you, if we sensed you represented or were danger or evil. But
none of us have sensed that. You were bleeding and you were in awfully bad
shape when we found you.” Kikyo said, holding a little bit tighter the
creature’s hand.

“No!
You must use your powers to kill me, any of you-- no, better-- better both of
you, you must do that now. Please kill me,” Inuyasha pleaded on his knees.

“Once
again, if you explain why such a young youkai, wants to die--”Kikyo was
interrupted by Inuyasha.

“I am
not a youkai; I am a hanyou-- a worthless and filthy hanyou. Nobody likes me, my
mother is dead, my baby is dead, Sesshoumaru-sama will be mad at me and I am
sure he will kill me when he discovers--” Inuyasha stopped talking to once
again start crying.

“Poor
young one… Hanyou or youkai, it does not matter to us right now. Tell us young
one, what has happened to your mother and your father? Don’t you have anyone
else in your family? You said something about a baby, as far as I know, youkai or hanyou, you need a mate to have one. Is the
mother of your baby this Sesshoumaru?”

“NO!
Sesshoumaru-sama is my baby’s father!” Inuyasha screamed and once again winced,
he tried to be as far away as he could from that woman but she continued to
hold his hand.

“Please,
let me go, I need to leave, I can‘t stay here. If you are not going to kill me
I must find a way or someone who will.” Inuyasha tried to stand up, but Kikyo was faster and put on his legs some
ofudas, so he could not move, and then she placed one more on his back.
Inuyasha was unable to leave the bed.

“WHY?”
he asked.

Kikyo
smiled and said. “I want you to tell me and in detail, all about you, your life
and your past. And then, if I feel you are dangerous, I promise, I will kill
you.”

“You
do? Really?” Inuyasha’s mood changed.

“It’s
a promise, now if I think you are not, you are going
to stay here with us. Am I clear?”

“Yes
Kikyo-miko-sama” Inuyasha answered, expecting that after telling all his life
she would kill him.

“Just
call us Kikyo and Kaede.” Kikyo said with serenity. Kaede, who was closer them
smiled too and handed some herbal tea to the hanyou.

Inuyasha
was confused, he could not leave the bed, but he could take and drink up the
tea. ‘Something here is strange.’ Both
sisters could sense the confusion and fear emanating from the boy. Kikyo,
chuckling, informed the hanyou of the reason.
“Do not worry young one, the ofuda is only to prevent you from running away.
If you do not have the intention, you are able to move. Inuyasha just nodded
his head in understanding and finished drinking his tea. The sisters advised him
to sleep. Kikyo told him that he could tell them his past life the next day. Inuyasha,
who was really tired, obediently did as he was told.
*
When
Inuyasha woke up the following day, he was feeling better. The sisters had prepared
a bath to him and they gave him some clothes. As both sisters were Shinto miko, the only garment they had were Shinto miko clothes– white long-sleeved haori
and red hakama.

After the breakfast and some chores, the three sat by the Goshinboku, the “Sacred God Tree” and Inuyasha
started to tell them everything about his life, since his first memories, from
the place he used to live with his mother until the moment they had found him
inside that old tree by the river.

The sisters had many questions, but neither of them
interrupted the boy while he was telling them his past, because they realized
that he was suffering having to expose himself that much.

In fact, to Inuyasha, telling all about his life was
taking a lot of his energy. He was not one to talk to others about simple
things and mainly his own life. He had learnt the worst way that humans were
not trustworthy. They could be worst than youkai at times, but he was not that
worried now, because he believed that he would die by their hands when he
finished. But
when Inuyasha finished, Kaede and Kikyo had a lot of questions. Kaede was the
first to ask. “Inuyasha, what about your father? Even
a lesser youkai would not allow their infant so young
and as small as yourself alone in the world. What
happened with your father after your mother passed away? I understand he is
dead now.”

“My mother told me father was a powerful Inu-youkai, and
he died during a battle just before I was born. He just could reach her in time
to say her, my odd name.”

“Why did Sesshoumaru, your brother, not help you?”

“Sesshoumaru-sama was too busy with all his duties and he
was raised inside the youkai society with their rules and all, he was royalty;
he could never do anything for the hanyou his father had with a ningen. Even
now, I am just his concubine. We could not have a complete and official mating
ritual, just because I am a hanyou.

“So you have nobody to teach you how to use your youkai
powers?” Kikyo asked.

“No. I have learned to use my claws, but they were not
efficient during my nights as a ningen and also they were not helping during
all the time I spent at Kiramau’s place.”

“Why have you not fought against all this things? Even as a human I would rather die to have to
endure all that,” Kaede asked.

“He tried, Kaede-imouto, but they were using spells on
him. To the youkai, our little Inuyasha was just a small boy, pretty enough to
be a good source of treasures in some more years, the same way it happens to
some girls and pretty boys from the villages. Youkai or Ningen, when they have
bad personalities, they are all the same,” Kikyou
said with pain in her voice.

“Gomen neesan.” Kaede said and looked back at Inuyasha to
smile.

“It is not your fault, my dear Kaede, it is a sad fact. They even had left this boy to starve, so he
would beg for food and would do whatever they wanted, and when he was totally
shaped, it was too late. As you can see he is a boy, if he was human he would
be in his twenties. He would never be this short or thin, if he had not
suffered a lot. It is too late to change his lack of properly physical
development.” Kikyo added.

“Oh.” Kaede looked from Kikyou to Inuyasha, amazed.

“So, do not waste your time preparing a lot of food,
intending him to get taller or bigger.” Kikyo said giggling.

“Neesan!” Kaede replied, annoyed.

“Now let us all get inside. It is late and soon will be
dark,” Kikyo said, standing up and aiming for the hut. Kaede was right behind her

“Oi! Kikyo-sama and Kaede-sama, aren’t you going to kill
me now?” Inuyasha said, standing up with some difficulty.

“Not today, Inu-otouto, you do have more questions to
answer. Now let us get something to eat and prepare to sleep. Tomorrow we will
talk more. Tomorrow…” Kikyo said, without looking back and without stopping
walking.

Due to
Kikyo and Kaedes’ tremendous care Inuyasha was getting better day by day. Also
the pure air, without that evil miasma from Naraku’s castle, was helping a lot.

Kikyo
and Kaede lived around and near many small villages, so people from all the
villages surrounding the area would come and visit them, asking for healing,
remedies, prays, care and etc. Inuyasha was aware of it early the next day. The
trio did not have any free time to talk as they had the previous day. Kikyo and
Kaede worked mostly outside or in the shrine, while Inuyasha after exerting a
lot of willpower to not runaway and ride from the strangers, was all daylong
brewing tea as the sisters had taught him and ointments for which they had
separated the right herbs and taught him how to use them. At the end of that
day, they all were very exhausted and they just slept after having something to
eat.

The
next days were not different. People would come and go all day long. Inu could
even leave for a small period the protection of the hut, but whenever a small
child or baby would be there he would get inside of the hut and cry a lot.
Kikyo noticed that. She was happy at the huge number of people coming in the
shrine and asking for help but she was also worried about Inuyasha’s
depression. She was decided to talk with him about all that. ‘It is not good to the little one be this
sad.’ So in the evening before the nighttime meal,
Kikyo asked Inuyasha if she could check on his belly.

“Why?” Inu asked.

“Because I was wondering and checking up on pregnancies with
other women and I think I need to check on you, do you agree? Would you allow
me to check on your body Inuyasha?

“Yes…”

Kikyou asked Kaede’s help. Both did the check on Inuyasha
and realized that Inuyasha had suffered a lot, but they did not find any
indication of a delivery. His belly and his hips were too small; a normal
delivery would have changed that or killed him. Inuyasha might have a small
body, but he was still a boy and as yet too young and with a lot of development
needed.

“So…?” Inuyasha asked, after noticing the sisters where
looking at each other and were even more serious than they normally were.

“Inu-otouto, you were never pregnant. Whoever told you
that was lying. The baby you said you lost was not yours---”

“You are lying, I was pregnant, the baby was
Sesshoumaru’s, Naraku did all the baby things with me, I was a lousy mother and
the baby died. You were not there, how could you say something like that?”
Inuyasha stood and using his regained speed ran away from the sisters and the
hut.

“Kikyo-neesan, what will we do,
it is too late to go after him and soon it will be too dark to the small one
return safely.”

“Do not worry Kaede-imouto,
Inuysha-otouto will be back. He just needs to think. Something is telling me
that Naraku is still causing him a lot of damage, poor little one. Naraku has
hurt you even deeper than he has me,” Kikyo said fixing the futon Inuyasha was had
been on previously during their checking.
*
A little bit farther in the woods, Inuyasha was still
running, crying and regretting exposing himself to those women.

“How could they say my baby was a lie? How could they say
Sesshoumaru was a lie? Just now that I thought I could still live with them.”
Inuyasha was again lost in the middle of the woods. Better physically but
totally destroyed emotionally and mentally. He was completely lost in his
thought and in his sorrow.
