Long coppery lashes began to deinterlace.
As her eyelids parted, blurred sight rolled to the sides, identifying the stony walls around. Her ears could hear a dripping sound of water, the ambient was humid and hot, little light entered from any direction she couldn't define.
Her body was laying over a white cloak she knew very well. In the instant that the lass squeezed the baboon pelt, her spirit revolved.
"...what?" The word sounded slow, messy.
"The tea you drank will make you dizzy for a while." The boy said nonchalantly. "I cannot risk myself, you see? Anyway, if you try to run I know where to find your little friend and, believe me, I just want a reason to have some fun with her."
"Who..." She tried to rise and ask, yet her back fell against the pelt again, Anna grabbed the cloak with the few strength she has left. "Naraku..." She wanted to speak and couldn't.
"Naraku has no idea that you are in here." He shrugged and chuckled.
Annabelle heard steps coming closer, soon she saw a white blurred form very near. A small hand held her chin, lifting the pallid lass' face up.
"What does he sees of special in you?" Hakudoshi wondered curiously.
What is this shit? Blue eyes rolled as her body couldn't stop sweating. What an unbearable heat inside that place!
"It can't be only your looks." He went on speaking, lowering his face to have a closer look.
"What is it you want?!" She achieved to ask, finally focusing her gaze on that little creature full of perverseness into his eyes and smirk.
"I believe you will serve me well in the future." Next to his foot there was a pot, which his pushed close to her. "Drink it."
Again?! Anna shook her head that still felt heavy for the previous shot.
"Go on!" For the first time, the yokai sounded impatient.
"No" panting, she insisted.
"Alright then." He snorted briefly, then his fingers sunk on her scalp, and pulling the lass by the hair he raised her head to press the pot against constricted lips. She has been able to resist for a while, yet it didn't last long. Soon the bitter, dark liquid spilled through her teeth and went down her throat. Annabelle did not even have the chance to spit it back, since Hakudoshi covered her mouth with his hand and kept it there till he saw the deglutition motion in her neck.
"Sweet dreams." The boy said as resting her head upon the pelt again. At last he got up and left from the cave's gap.

Anna woke up after long hours, an intense thirst made her lips dry.
She didn't hear any noise beyond the water dripping from the ceiling to the rocky floor. The lass noticed that undesirable little being wasn't around. So, she put some effort on getting up, yet her knees hit the ground, her legs had no balance at all. That strange emulsion she has drunk twice made her remind a potion Ailyn gave her on the night she was ready to sacrifice her life for the sake of a promise. It was like her powers were sealed and all her energy has been drained.
The frail woman dragged her body over the rugged ground till she found a small pool of fresh water. There she dove her face and drank the transparent liquid like a thirsty dog. At last satisfied, the lass rolled her body and laid, gazing at the ceiling while gasping. She couldn't imagine how many time passed as her weak forms stood there in such position, but it must have been quite a while. Bit by bit, the feeling of weight and numbness started to calm down. Stumbling, Annabelle walked, holding the rock walls, till she got to the entrance of her prison and a sudden fright made her fall behind. The bloody cave was in a high mountain, the door to the exterior world ended in a deep cliff. On that movement of throwing her body back, Belle made some little rocks slide from the edge and fall down. That place was so high that it wasn't even possible to hear the rocks touching the ground.
She never thought it would be possible to miss the Shikon's shard presence into her chest. Maybe if she still had it, her power wouldn't have been sealed completely, and she would still have the skill to fly back to her home.
What the hell am I thinking? Anna sighed, annoyed, remembering that the shard in exchange of power always becomes a curse to it's owner. She may not be as strong as in the time that thing was under her possession, but at least her soul wasn't so troubled. Well, not that troubled.
He doesn't know I am in here... Another sigh left her mouth while she sought for support on the wall one more time. Did she wish to be found by Naraku? What a joke! Nothing more was binding them, and why should she want to see him again, after the latest events?
Would that sort of "tea" be hallucinogen? For a few seconds the lass felt like she was seeing the owner of her thoughts emerging from a shadow, as he did in Onigumo's cave. A hand of hers lifted on his direction, her heart strangely skipped. In such temporary lapse when she saw him in front of her, Annabelle felt a brief remorse for having treated him so badly, although the spider deserved the rejection.
Anna blinked, as her eyes reopened they didn't see Naraku anymore. It has been nothing but a trick of her mind after all.
Her back slid on the wall and she fell laying on the ground, losing consciousness once more.
Hours later, maybe at night, someone dragged her by the arms back to the baboon pelt. Between sleepiness and sobriety, her eyes slowly blinked, capturing the boy's image like random flashes before her sight faded into pure darkness.

Days passed by when the woman was in such state of confusion. It came a time when she couldn't even discern how long she has been prisoned there, neither her eyes could tell if there was the sun or the moon adorning the sky. Hakudoshi barely said her a word. In fact, the boy seemed to go visit that hellish lair only to see if she was still alive. The conditions which she has been kept were deplorable, the food he brought was enough only for a human's survival. When Anna needed to relieve from her basic needs, she had to go to the edge of the abyss, or she would have to endure the stink of her own waste, no one would clean that place. When it rained, the water would get in and everything became soaked. When the sun was high in the afternoon, that place felt like the hottest volcano and Anna didn't have a possibility to bathe herself. The blue dress she sewed so carefully got dirty and it's color faded, the white chemise underneath became greyish. Her oily hair was sticking on her head, her lips once rosy were dry and pale. She was succumbing cruelly slow and alone. And even so, not a bit worried about her health, Hakudoshi still obliged her to drink that potion time after time.
What choice do I have? Annabelle thought of Yoru, Himawari, Motoko and all the other villagers that would be in danger if she didn't dance accordingly with Hakudoshi's song. She learned to like those people and would protect them at any cost.

"Come in" one day Anna listened her captor say, and wondered with whom he was talking to.
A noise of wooden sandals hitting against the stony ground put her in alert. Laying in her side, the lass stopped staring at the wall and turned so her eyes could catch the shapes of an old acquaintance.
"Kagura..." she whispered, then smiled in relief.
"So you know each other!" The boy chuckled.
"Hakudoshi, what have you done?!" The demoness ran to Annabelle and kneeled by her side. "Look at her state!" She covered her lips and nose with both hands.
"Do... you... know him?" The ginger woman asked, her blurred eyes rolled.
"What did you give to her?!" Still anxious, the Wind Sorceress confronted the other Naraku's incarnation.
"Nothing much, just a little thing that makes her a bit drowsy." He crossed his arms, resting against the wall.
"What does she have to do with all of this?" Kagura rose up and twirled, facing him.
"Don't you see?" The boy stared at her, looking stern. "She is our leverage against Naraku."
And then, in that instant, Annabelle's heart has jumped into her chest, and her eyes, although feeling heavy, widened.
You will be Naraku's ruin. Sesshomaru's prophetic sentence sounded like echoes, repeating in her mind, making her heartbeats increase violently and suddenly that infernal hot lair seemed to become icy cold.
"If we have her under our domain, we could even retrieve your heart." Hakudoshi continued, full of self-confidence.
"What makes you believe that this woman's life is so valuable to Naraku?!" Kagura insisted.
"I have been watching him." He giggled. "Naraku didn't stop looking for her through Kanna's mirror, he even went to see her in person a time ago. Such a moving encounter..." his tone was mocking and disdainful.
"Ridiculous! Naraku doesn't have a heart to care about anyone anymore!" Her voice sounded louder.
"What is it, Kagura? If I didn't know you well, I would say you're defending this human." Hakudoshi arched an eyebrow.
The female yokai briefly looked back, gazing Annabelle sideways, and at last she resumed to stare at the little mischievous demon.
"Nonsense! I just think that all of this is a waste of time." The Wind Sorceress forced a chuckle and opened the fan next to her face.
"Naraku's heart is already in our hands, and now we have his dearest ward. As soon as we get Shikon no Tama, we'll have every needed weapon to defeat him. It's your freedom what is at stake, Kagura. Will you throw this chance away?" Hakudoshi stood on his feet and walked towards her, dangerously close. Violaceous globes locked into Naraku's servant figure, like them could read her well.
"Tsk!" Kagura grunted and looked aside, then she turned to the old Naraku's mate once more. Terrified turquoises talked with confused rubies.
No, Kagura, don't do this. She begged mentally, yet her only capability was to shake her head.
"I'll see how Goryomaru is doing." Hakudoshi moved away without rush. "Since you are here, just give it to her." He took a pottery bottle from his clothes and tossed it on the ground, the canteen rolled over the stones till touch Kagura's foot.
The demoness lowered elegantly and took the object in her hands. As soon as the boy went out the cave's gap, the old Anna's companion of walking through the forest ran to her again and once more kneeled by her side.
"What this idiot did to you?!" Kagura tossed the canteen aside and helped the human to sit, leaning her back against the wall.
"Don't... listen to him." She whispered, gasping, holding her friend's arms. "Don't... listen."
"I'll remove you from this place, this is absurd!" The demoness would pull her up.
"No, Kagura!" Anna achieved to raise her voice a bit and squeezed the yokai's long sleeves.
"Are you here because you want to?" She bewildered the lass' reaction. Anna just shook her head. "Then why don't you come with me?" Kagura persisted.
"I can't..." Her tired eyes closed. "He... threatened... people that I..." The foreigner gasped. There was no need to finish that sentence to make the Wind Sorceress understand it's meaning though.
"That little bastard... he is nothing different from Naraku in the end." Her jaw clenched, while Kagura felt like her hands were tied, she had nowhere to run.
"The bottle..." Anna reopened the turquoises and lifted a hand, pointing to the object.
"Will you drink it willingly?" She took the recipient, firstly glancing at it and then her crimson gaze focused on the defenseless woman one more time.
Annabelle's eyes gave the response, sorrowful yet decided. Kagura swallowed bitterly, feeling a pressure into her stomach as witnessing the foreigner's sacrifice. She almost didn't release the bottle when Belle's fingers evolved hers and tried to pull it. Still, the demoness had to watch the lass drinking every sip of that sedative, and fall asleep like a rag doll abandoned on a dark corner of a room.

Damnit! Kagura cursed while floating on her large white feather. If I choose to unite forces with Hakudoshi, I'll only be serving to a different master. Besides... Her eyes closed tight, she couldn't forget the night when Annabelle risked her own life when trying to retrieve the demoness' heart. If there was someone who really cared about her dream of freedom, it only could be the western lass.
So, the yokai had a decision to make, and she couldn't delay it forever.
Suddenly, Kagura changed the feather's direction. Winds have carried her to a house on a hilltop.
"Kagura..." Naraku was sitting on the floor while holding her heart in one hand. As soon as she got inside, she noted in his gaze that he already knew something.
"Naraku!" Panting, terrified, the demoness shouted.
"So, have you decided to return to your true master?" He smirked wickedly.
"You already knew everything?!" Red eyes widened and blinked several times.
"Hakudoshi thinks he can defeat me, because he believes my heart is under his power." The arachnid chuckled disdainfully. "Yet he forgets that he has born from my flesh, just as you did, and therefore his life is in my hands as well."
"No, Naraku!" She realized he wasn't aware of the whole conspiracy. "That's not all!"
"No?" He raised an eyebrow, still smirking.
"He has her." Kagura spilled at once, along with a sharpen breath's release.
"Hm?" Her master stood on his feet then, looking suspicious.
"You know very well who I am talking about!" She vociferated, already out of her mind. "Hakudoshi blackmailed her, he threatened to hurt people who she is fond of..."
He subtly turned his back.
"Don't you pretend not to care!" Kagura hissed.
"Did you come back because of her?" His voice was deep and cold. The demoness' silence made him chuckle briefly. "How foolish..."
"I know where she is and I can tell if it interests you." Doing her best to control her temper, she said.
One Naraku's eye stared at her over his armored shoulder, the dark curled bangs shadowed the stern redness.
To be continued...
