Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha, nor make money from this story. |
Disclaimer: They’re not mine, although I’m working on a secret plan to kidnap the Inu brothers (and maybe Kouga, even if he is a little dense).
No citrus here, although there’s a fair bit of blood and gore. You know how things are--things have to get worse before they can get better…if they ever do. Any clues as to who the villain is?
9. Questions and Answers
The youkai taijiya awoke to the midafternoon sun in her eyes and a strange sense of foreboding. Getting up from where she had fallen the previous evening, she struggled over to the still-sleeping monk. Shaking him awake not too gently, she rasped, “Miroku, get up--something’s wrong.”
He blinked a few times, realizing that it was much later than they had ever slept before. Looking at the two youkai still curled up with the hanyou child, he shook his head. “They should have been up hours ago. What could have happened?”
Sango looked suddenly stricken. “Check on the others. I’ll get these three up and moving. All of us sleeping like this isn’t natural, and I’m afraid it might have been part of an attack on the other campsite.”
Her suspicions were largely confirmed when she finally managed to rouse the others. All three were sick and disoriented, with pounding heads and turning stomachs. She managed to get all of them to drink a little tea in hopes that it would settle their stomachs.
They were all nearly recovered by the time the monk came crashing through the forest. “Sango! They’re gone! Both of them!”
The taijiya looked at her three charges. “We need to find them right away. Can you tell which way they went?”
Kirara prowled around the edges of the small clearing while Shippou and Takara sniffed the light breeze moving beneath the forest canopy. The three circled around, moving back and forth a few times, before returning to Sango and her husband. Shippou shook his head. “I can’t smell anything. Not even a little.”
The monk rested the butt end of his staff on the ground. “If we can’t track them by their scents, then we’ll have to start at their campsite and try to find any indications of what happened to them there.”
The examination of the campsite itself yielded little real information. There were no signs of violence to be seen. It was almost as though the hanyou and his mate had simply left the area without a word.

Ryu waited nearly twenty-four hours before returning to his prisoner. He had long since learned that hunger could be a powerful means of persuasion. The hanyou didn’t look especially well. His wrists were raw and bleeding from his attempts to escape the metal cuffs holding him in place. His claws were bleeding where he had driven them into the heavy beams of the framework that held him in position. As the human walked around the immobilized hanyou he was glad to see that the wounds on his prisoner’s back had healed almost completely.
“So, my monster,” he smirked, “Have you made a decision? Will you accept the training your master has ordered?”
“Depends,” he said through dry, cracked lips. “What does the bastard want me to do?”
Ryu shook his head. “I don’t have the details. From the hints your new master has made, I think that he--or she--wishes to begin breeding hanyous in captivity. You are to be trained to mate with females on command.”
Ryu stepped back in surprise as the prisoner barked a harsh laugh. “Baka,” he snarled, “You can’t get more hanyous that way--they’re almost always sterile. We can’t have pups. Besides,” he added, “I’m mated, and inuyoukai mate for life.”
The former taijiya-in-training simply shrugged. “Doesn’t make a damn bit of difference to me--my job is to make sure you’re trained according to your new owners wishes. As for being mated,” he said, “That’s easy enough to correct.”
At a subtle gesture, two large, nondescript human men appeared, dragging a slight, struggling figure into the clearing. It was at that moment that Inuyasha realized that his hanyou senses had finally started to return to normal--the scents of anger, fear, and worry coming from the woman struck him with an almost physical force.
A deep, threatening growl erupted from the hanyou’s chest. He watched in impotent rage as the woman, her hands bound and her eyes blindfolded, was chained to the tree branch overhead across the clearing from him. Though her arms were held above her head, there was adequate slack in the chains to allow her to stand with her feet on the ground in reasonable comfort.
Despite the pounding of her heart that was clearly audible to the sensitive ears of the hanyou across the clearing, she gave the appearance of calm, waiting to learn what she could of the situation before reacting. The hanyou’s eyes flashed crimson for a moment before the seals attached to the framework on which he lay immobilized detected the increase in youki and flared up, burning him where his body touched the wood.
He gasped at the searing pain, his claws digging even more deeply into the splintered wood beneath his hands, but would make no other sign of his agony. The growl returned as he watched in fury as Ryu stepped casually to the woman they had taken. Pulling a sharp, thin-bladed knife from its sheath at his waist, he carefully cut the clothing from her body. Even though she was in chains, the woman had no intention of permitting such familiarity. She writhed in her bonds, screaming “Hentai!” as she launched a vigorous kick at her tormentor’s midsection.
Since she could not see her target the blow went wide as the man stepped aside, avoiding it easily. Turning back to the woman, he tangled his left hand into her long ebony hair before driving his fist into her body just below the ribs. She sagged in the chains as the air was forced from her slight frame with a soft explosion of sound.
While she struggled to draw breath, the man wrapped his left arm around her body, turning her so that he could clearly see the small scar on her right shoulder blade. He smirked at the shudder of revulsion that passed through her body as he rubbed a callused thumb across the mark. “So,” he muttered, “Tora was right--you are a youkai’s whore. No matter.”
Reaching once again for his knife, he jabbed it into the middle of the scar, moving the blade in the wound until he could feel it scrape against bone. When he realized that the high-pitched whimpers coming from her throat were because she couldn’t yet take enough air into her lungs to scream he pulled the blade free, cleaning it by wiping the blood off on her creamy skin. “This simply won’t do,” he said in what could almost have passed for a politely conversational tone. “I see that I’ll have to let you catch your breath a bit before cutting out your connection to that monster. If the scarring isn’t too great you may yet have some value to us.”
Turning back to the creature that would make him wealthier than he had ever dreamed possible, he was surprised to see the hanyou’s body tensed in agony, blood dripping from the wounds he had made when he had bitten through his lips. This, he decided, could be interesting --if it was possible to torture the hanyou without doing any actual physical damage the conditioning process would be that much easier.
