Chapter 19: Preparations
Seven….eight….nine….ten….eleven….twelve…. how many more until it was over?
Eighteen…nineteen….twenty….twenty-one…. He couldn't take much more. Staying strong was hard enough on your own. But to have to endure this much pain for hours on end? Thirty… thirty-one…thirty-two… thirty-three….He had to take this. Each agonizing blow was worth it if it kept his beloved safe. Forty-seven….forty-eight….forty-nine…Fifty. "That's enough." Sesshomaru sagged down in his chair bleeding from every open gash, cut and reopened wound on his face, neck, arms, and exposed chest. Within the last 17 hours he's went through more forms of torture then he could remember. If this were a mere human he would've been killed over within 2 hours. But Naraku was using the inuyoukai's demonic powers against him. The fact that Sesshomaru's healing abilities could heal him within 3 hours was what kept this evil going. His skin's been burned to the raw muscle by acidic liquids more from the harshest poisons. The bare nakedness of his chest was scorched from the flames of fire doused gloves used by Naraku himself to deliver brick breaking punches. Sesshomaru had long since lost count of the times he'd been stabbed in his abdominal area by the smallest switch blade. And now he'd finished with the last of his punishment; a personal favorite of Naraku's. Seeing him get punched repeatedly in the face. Yet through it all, not once did he make the shrilling plead for mercy or howled cry of help. Naraku wouldn't be granted such a sound. "Well Sesshomaru it seems that our time together has come to an end." Naraku was again, not pleased with the end results of another punishment gone wrong. How much more would he have to do to this creature he was gifted with the sounds of his beautiful cries of anguish? He desired for this dog demon's voice to cry and beg for his freedom. But Sesshomaru proved to be more difficult than his previous victims. This only made him that more enticing. "Take him to the room near the front line." Hakudoshi untied the abused officer, purposely letting him hit the floor. "But sir there's someone already in there." "Oh? You mean the other prisoner hasn't died yet?" "No sir. He's still alive…At least I think he is." Naraku squeezed the pressure between his eyes as if he'd just heard the most terrible news. "Fine just take him there anyway. The other one's bound to die eventually." "Yes sir." Hakudoshi hauled the mangled Inu demon toward the more deserted part of the warehouse where a lot of their victims were taken to either await their approaching death or to stand fast until the next rotation of evilness to come. As Sesshomaru was carelessly dragged down the winding halls he wondered what other poor fool had been used as a sadistic toy for the Spider demon's joy. The way they talked, it seemed the other person had long since died from the torture they'd put him or her through. He could be so lucky. This was merely the beginning of what would occur the next go round for Sesshomaru. For now at least. The detective, unknown to the enemy, was slowly binding his time until he planned escaped. This would be the final punishment he endured by that fool's hands. By now, either Miroku or Koga should've recoded his message from the phone call. That is, if his hunch had been right and Koga did record the conversation between Naraku and Inuyasha. Of course then they'd need Miroku to translate the code since they were the only ones who used the ancient ritual. Please let his instincts been correct in assuming he could depend on his comrades to read into his plans. "We're here." Sesshomaru lifted his throbbing head up to see a metal door about six feet wide and eight feet tall. This was different from the one they used to keep him in before. The last one was made of wood. Why the sudden change in design? Hakudoshi twisted the door knob and pushed inward. The room had a stale, funky stench to the atmosphere. Sesshomaru's nose could detect the scent of dried blood and twisted angry rolling in waves in this room. Well that answered Naraku's question of whether or not whoever was in here was alive. "Hey we got a new friend for ya." Sassed the pale faced demon, tossing Sesshomaru's limp body inside. "I haven't had a taste of him yet but I doubt he tastes as good as you." With that evil chuckle, he closed the door with a loud click, clack, locking the knob behind him. Sesshomaru stayed against the cool smooth ground, allowing the fresh chill to ease away the burning thump of his sore face. Never mind the awful odor floating in the air around him. For now this section of the floor would have to do until he could gain some of his strength back. Whether or not he could let his guard down was another matter. Indeed there was another presence in this damp room but whether they were friendly or hostile he couldn't tell. No movement was made, or a sound peeped. He or she was still alive judging by the harsh pants of breath coming his way. The puffs of oxygen came in more shallow and hollow winds, as if worn down. This person was either about to die, fighting death or debating on which route to take. Sesshomaru couldn't allow that. The person should live if long enough to get out of this terrible place before giving up their soul. A cough left his lips, kicking up a puff of dust as he said, "Will you choose death in a place like this?" Sesshomaru's ears picked up a hitched in their breathing as if surprised to hear another living soul in the room. "Answer me." Sesshomaru coughed out. "Will you choose death in this God forsaken palce or live just long enough to see the light of day again?" It was all he could ask of this person he barely knew. But just the thought of knowing he escaped without saving this pathetic soul would tear at him by no ends. No one deserved such a lonely demise. The other person's breathing slowed, gradually losing its concentration of breathing until Sesshomaru could no longer hear its shaky tone. Sesshomaru listened carefully wondering if he'd spoken his encouraging word too late. Until he heard a harsh raw hiss that made his own heart stop. "...I choose… life…" What….the….hell? It couldn't be. There was no way it could be, "H-Hiei?"Damn when he did he get this like this?
A hot blush rose in the face of a certain Inu demon who took in the slender smooth build of the man coming through the stations side door dressed in his E.D.I.A. titled black and gray bullet proof vest, over the navy blue short sleeve muscle shirt stretched tauntingly over his handsome form. Goodness, the years have made this demon age like fine wine… "Keep staring old man and the buildin'll catch on fire." Koga and Miroku snickered at the hanyou's blunt admission. The Chief could be a little discreet when appreciating another's body. "Mind your tongue boy." Taisho huffed regaining his previous attitude. Kazo walked in all smiles followed by ten of his best men. His eyes traveled over the bulky built dog demon before him with satisfaction. It seems the years have been as equally kind to his friend. His blue eyes twinkled mischievously bringing another blush to the Western Chief's face. Very nice. Next on the list were the three young men standing next to his friend. One human, one wolf demon and one…one…Oh my. "Taisho?" He said in a 'there needs to be an explanation tone.' Blinking out of his embarrassment, Taisho cleared his throat and introduced his detectives down the line. "This young human here is Miroku Starwind. He shall play as our communication's guide. The tall one next to him is Koga Wolfe. He will be one of two infiltrating Naraku's fortress. And the shorter one that looks like me is my youngest son, Inuyasha Toshiba. He'll be the other man involved in the rescue mission." All three men stood at attention respectfully to the foreign Chief of Eastern Territories. "At ease." Kazo ordered keeping steady eyes on the white haired hanyou. "He has a lot of your features Taisho. Is he available?" Taisho's open mouth gasp and Inuyasha's childlike blush caused the others to laugh a little. Taisho cleared his throat, again, to gain the small group's attention. "Now if everyone's done I'd very much like to get this mission over with within the next 24 hours." "Of course." There would be more time for entertaining fun later. For now they all had a mission to accomplish. "Taisho who shall give the safety briefing before we begin the operation?" "Inuyasha." "Uhh what?" No one told him this. How the hell do you give a safety briefing? "Just talk encouragingly and advice everyone to be safe." Oh boy what a way to put someone in the spotlight. Better get this over with. Inuyasha took a lung filled expansion of deep breath and exhaled it through his nose as he stepped forward into the center of the crowd of bodies. "Umm ok. I just want to say, thank you all for coming here today to help rescue my brother and to help put an end to this assholes—" Taisho glared. "—Uh I mean creep's reign of terror. We all want the same thing and that's to see this jerk put away for life or faced with a death penalty. I just want you all to know that once we start this, there's no turning back. Naraku is a vicious, murderous villain with a taste for blood. Make no mistake, he will kill you if given the chance. We won't give him that chance. By this time tomorrow he'll be the one begging for mercy. So let's put an end to this guy's terror and make this city safe again!" Inuyasha pumped up his fist in the air like he'd seen other speech talkers do in the movies and waited for the others to join in with a chorused 'Hell Yea.' Nothing. Ok any minute now. Nada. Except a couple chuckles and several 'Are you crazy' stares. Everyone waited for him to bring his victory punch out of the air so they could get this show on the road. Whoa talk about embarrassing with a capital 'E'. "Taisho if your son's finished with his cheerleader tactics, we really should finish with the preparations." Said a cheeky Youko demon, winking at the shame faced hanyou. Taisho's hardened glare returned with a vengeance. "He's done." Everyone huddled together to discuss the tricks, schemes, plots and plans needed to accomplish this mission without any blood loss on their end. It would take hours of careful precision and strategic expertise to know how to get this task done. Traps were set in gear, minds were made up and complicated arguments of what should and should not be done erupted between a few until finally everyone was able to agree on what they deemed perfect. Kazo clapped his hands together satisfied with the turn of events. This just might actually work. If they timed themselves correctly and stayed close to their ideals, they're sure to capture this fool within the next 24 hours. Marvelous. "Ok since we got the plan up what do we do now?" Inuyasha questioned. Kazo rolled up one of the city's blue prints. "We'll gather the necessary equipment needed to enter the spider's threshold. And we'll need to find the perfect location for Miroku's communication center to be within a reasonable range so his instructions are heard easily." "And then?" At that sparkled wink of those blue eyes Inuyasha's heart leapt as Kazo said confidently. "Then we'll save your brother." It took all of his resolve not to pump his fist in the air again, lest he risk looking like a fool. So he simply held in his excitement until he could see his brother's face again. Hold on Sesshomaru. We're coming.TBC: To those who know him, are you surprised to see Kazo? ^_^
