*To Protect*

Chapter 7: Her Painful Past.

Tohru sighed softly to herself as the sun rose in the morning. She had been up hours before the sun just thinking now that she had no household chores to do. At least not while she was here in her older sisters mansion. ‘It just wasn't fair’ Tohru thought to herself. ‘How come Kagome gets to live like a princess while i’m stuck doing chores for another family as payment for allowing me to stay there. Not that i’m complaining about the Sohma’s or anything there great and all but...what I wouldn’t give to be my sister. She gets all the guy’s attention and not to mention she’s so strong and wonderful. So unlike me. I feel so useless compared to her, so small...’

Tohru sighed to herself again. She knew that she shouldn’t be feeling this resentment towards her sister after all Kagome’s gone through. ‘I would never be able to survive what Kagome has been put through.’ Tohru thought to herself. ‘The ironic thing is that I envy her strength, her ability to pull through anything and everything that comes her way. She’s taking care of those men, her pack she called them. I can barely take care of myself none the less survive in the real world. I know how cold and cruel the world is, Kagome took most of the pain for me and i never got to tell her how much that meant to me. How much she meant to me. How much I envy her.’

‘Perhaps, if I had been in her place I would be as strong as she were. Would I really be able to be a leader? A true leader that doesn’t let her people fall like Kagome is? Could I be that strong? Or would I be a failure to them all?’ Tohru thought. After all who was going to stop her from wondering. ‘ When were in a crowd it is always Kagome that everyone notices, It’s like they can see the regal air that has always surrounded my sister. Her presence commands attention and admiration from everyone. She’s like a solid wall of pure power. Not to mention she’s incredibly smart and beautiful. I will never compare to her.’ Tohru thought sadly.

‘But I know that she deserves all those admirers all the attention. I was after all the only one getting the attention when we were younger, well the positive attention at least. It wasn’t fair to either of us how we grew up. But now it seems as if everyone has forgotten about me, there to busy looking at Kagome, talking about Kagome. I can’t help but feel...forgotten. Oh Okaa-san tell me please what to do? I feel so lost...’ Her trail of thought abruptly ended as Kagome placed a hand on her shoulder.

Tohru looked up her light brown eyes looking into Kagome’s deep blue. Kagome sat down next to her sister and gently pulled Tohru into her arms, not an exactly perfect fit considering Tohru was only two inches shorter then Kagome. Tohru stood at about 5’4 to Kagome’s 5’6. She took Tohru into her arms and hummed softly in her ear.

“What is troubling you Tohru?” Kagome asked worried for her sisters well being.

“Nothing.” Tohru said and stood up. “Lets go to the dinning room, hm?” Tohru suggested.

Kagome nodded. ‘I’ll find out what’s bothering you Tohru. You can’t hide anything from me.’

Tohru wore a bright yellow sun dress with little white daisies decorating it. Her hair was up in it’s usual style with a yellow ribbon and her feet were adorned with white socks and brown dress shoes. Kagome smiled softly at her sister as she slipped into the shadows to watch over her sister. Tohru looked up when she could no longer feel Kagome’s arm on her; she found her sister gone. But she figured that Kagome had work to do before she spent the day with her.

Tohru entered the dinning room to see everyone up, she blushed because she was used to being the first one up rather then the last one. She locked eyes with Kurama and he smiled a gentle understanding smile that caused her to turn a deeper shade of red. Kagome chuckled to herself in her head as she watched the interaction. It seemed that little Tohru had a crush on Kurama or at the very least was attracted to him. But then again she was also attracted to Yuki and Kyo. ‘Thinking about this is going to give me a headache, i just know it.’ Kagome thought to herself.

“Good Morning Everyone.” Kagome’s smooth voice cut through all of the chatter. Most of them responded with with good mornings, or a sound similar to a grunt coming from those half asleep. Kita bounded up to Kagome and gave her a hug before sitting down. Kagome’s eyes held slight amusement at his antics. She took her seat at the head of the table and talked in hushed whispers with Sesshoumaru. Kagome glanced up from there private conversation in time to see Tohru divert her gaze away from her. Kagome smirked and continued her conversation with the handsome prince.

~!~With Naraku~!~

‘That’s right Tohru...Those horrible emotions of jealousy and bitterness your feeling towards your sister will enable me to get to you easily. You will make the perfect pawn, Kagome won’t hurt you.’ Naraku thought to himself smiling maliciously as he looked into Kanna’s mirror. ‘Once I have you then Kagome won’t do anything to stop me...I created her...She should obey me...But there is nothing to fear. Kagome will gladly trade her life for yours and then she will be mine once again.’

~!~With Kagome~!~

Kagome paused in her conversation with Sesshoumaru her eye’s narrowed. She sniffed the air discretely and saw the Inu, Shigure about to feel her sister up. She was out of her seat and holding his wrist in a steel grip before he could get within touching distance of her. She growled softly, her eyes flashing a warning at him.

“Don’t you even think about touching her in such an inappropriate way.” Kagome hissed before walking back to her seat perfectly composed. The others were in a state of shock so they didn’t really do anything.

Kagome mentally snorted. ‘If that shocks them I’d hate to see them when they see true violence.’ Jakotsu smiled softly at Kagome’s protective instinct over the young woman. Kagome would protect all those that were hers. Jakotsu, Bankotsu, Sango and Miroku were bound to Kagome for all eternity as well. They were her ‘vampire servants’. A long time ago Kagome saved them from death by changing them. Turning them into creatures of the night. Vampires.

Tohru glanced up at her sister wondering what was going through her mind. Tohru occasionally sneaked glances Kyo’s way. ‘Would Kyo ever notice me as more then just a ‘friend’?’ Tohru thought to herself forlornly. Kagome smirked, ‘So she like’s the cat eh?’ Kagome thought to herself, ‘Well then I suppose I can play matchmaker...But I may need some help...*insert mental grin*...Jakotsu.’

‘She’s always had a fondness for cats...’ Kagome thought absently gauging Tohru’s reaction to the cat. Kyo looked up and caught Tohru staring at him. He blushed. Kagome grinned widely in her mind. She wouldn’t dare do such a thing when other’s could see her. Tohru averted her gaze back to her plate for the remainder of the meal her face remaining a bright cherry red.

Kagome stood from her place and sauntered over to Tohru after she had finished her meal. She stood by her side and held her hand out to her younger sister who smiled and took it. She helped Tohru out of her seat and escorted her out of the dinning room into the hall.

“What would you like to do today?” Kagome asked politely.

“Can we spend some time in the gardens?” Tohru asked excited. She’d only caught a glimpse of the gardens yesterday. Tohru watched in awe as a smile appeared on Kagome’s face and she laughed softly. ‘She’s so much more beautiful when she smiles and laughs.’ Was Tohru’s thought at the moment. She looked into her sister’s amused eyes and blushed.

“Of course we can go to the gardens Tohru-chan.” Kagome said and leaded her through her spacious home and out into the bright gardens. It was beautiful. This area of the gardens Tohru hadn’t seen yet. She had seen the Southern Gardens. What she was looking at now was the Northern Gardens. This area held the maze and rose bushes as well as Kagome’s herbs.

“This...This is amazing Kagome!!!” Tohru exclaimed her eyes sparkling and smile large and radiant. Kagome hid a small smile. Tohru made her way over to the rose bushes and picked one yellow rose. She was careful not to prick her finger on a thorn. Kagome gently placed her hand on the rose, her hand glowed yellow removing all the thorns and leaving the flower stem bare of them. Tohru looked on amazed with her sisters abilities and just a bit jealous.

Tohru wanted to put the flower in her hair but didn’t know how to keep it in place. Kagome knowing what she wanted took the flower from her hands and weaved it into her hair so that the open rose bud was resting on the yellow ribbon in her hair. She was wearing another yellow sun dress today. Tohru beamed up at her sister.

“Can we go into the maze?” Tohru asked excitedly. Kagome nodded her consent. Tohru squealed and happily skipped forward, Kagome following at a slower pace.

Tohru may not have noticed the others that came out into the gardens following them at a distance but Kagome did them. She gave them a glance that clearly said, Follow and Face your death. They wisely stayed. One pair of lavender eyes and another pair of crimson eyes watched Tohru go while the rest of them decided to walk around the gardens and enjoy the beauty of it.

When Tohru and Kagome reached the center of the maze Tohru was awestruck by the fountain in front of her. The fountain was that of the Inu, Neko and Kitsune demons in there true form, surrounding one figure; a beautiful woman with a distinct resemblance to Kagome. The water created a moat around them and the circular stone benches were placed on the outer rim.

“It was a gift to me from the Lords of Makai, Sesshoumaru, Shizen, Kashaku and Kiro with Saito, Rihatsu, Kazero and Hitaru’s help of course.” Kagome said.

Kagome took a seat at the fountain and gestured for Tohru to sit with her. Tohru took the seat and looked up curiously at Kagome. Kagome smiled slightly at her and started a conversation, “So what have you been doing these past years?”

~!~Later that day~!~

By the time Kagome was officially filled in on the important highlights of Tohru’s life for the past 10 years it was evening. So together they watched the sunset on the west horizon. Kagome sighed and took to the air with Tohru causing the said girl to give a startled yelp. ‘She can fly?’ Tohru thought in awe and as fast as that awe came another feeling crept up, the feeling of jealousy. ‘Is there nothing she can’t do?’ Tohru thought somewhat bitterly. Kagome caught that feeling and tensed. ‘Did I do something wrong?’ Kagome thought to herself silently.

They were flying on a cloud like thing was the best description Tohru could come up with. It was a blue cloud that seemed solid under her feet considering she didn’t fall through. What Tohru didn’t know was that Kagome’s traveling cloud was made out of her ki. They landed down right in front of a calm Hiei.

“Is there something that you need Hiei?” Kagome asked her face back to it’s normal emotionless facade, her voice not betraying anything, her eyes blank. Hiei just about growled in frustration at not being able to read her.

“Koenma want’s you.” He said before disappearing most likely to see Koenma.

Kagome gestured for Tohru to follow her as they entered the house and made there way to the council room where they were yesterday. When they got there they found everyone already there. The Sohma’s: Akito, Hatori, Shigure, Ayame, Ritsu, Yuki, Kyo, Hatsuharu, Momiji, and Kagura. Kisa, Hiro were elsewhere being watched over by Kureno. Koenma’s group: Koenma, Botan, Yusuke, Kurama, Hiei, and Kuwabara. The Makai Royals and their generals: Sesshoumaru, Kashaku, Hitaru, Shizen, Kazero, Kiro, Saito, and Rihatsu. And last but not least Kagome’s group: Shinya, Kita, Jigoku, Riko, Sango, Miroku, Jakotsu and Bankotsu. Ryu was there as well.

Kagome took a seat at the head of the table and her brow raised of it’s own accord. “What may I ask were we all called here for?” Yusuke asked irritated.

“I haven’t the slightest idea. “ Kagome said as Yusuke fell off his chair. When he got up he glared at her. Koenma however cleared his throat before Yusuke could lose his life by attempting to throttle Kagome.

“I called you all here.” Koenma said. Kagome’s eye’s narrowed in suspicion. Kita, Shinya, Jigoku, Riko, Jakotsu, Bankotsu, Sango and Miroku tensed in unison when they say Kagome’s eyes narrow. They were lounging on the large stacks of pillows Kagome had by her seat. Kagome put the pillows in when they kept falling asleep at meetings with the other lords so that they could rest and still be near her in case they needed her if she was in a meeting.

“Why?” Akito asked the question on everyone’s mind.

“You should be here to Sohma-san, in case you are targeted by Naraku.” Konema said.

“Kagome...You’re keeping very valuable information from us. On Naraku.” Koenma said oddly serious.

Kagome gritted her teeth. “What makes you think that?” She asked smoothly.

“Because, you know an awful lot about him but you didn’t tell us everything.” Koenma said.

Kagome nodded stiffly. “ What do you want to know?” She asked almost afraid of the answer.

“Everything.” Kagome’s expression turned weary before she nodded.

“Naraku...” Kagome started, “Naraku is a conniving bastard. He prefers to do things the old fashion way which gives us a little, and when I say little I mean minuscule amount of leverage.”

“How does that give us leverage?” Hatori asked.

Kagome looked up at him. “We can use guns and other such modern weapons. But I prefer to do things traditionally with him. A nice battle with swords and other such weapons because there is a chance of the bullets ricocheting off the armored demons. You don’t ever have complete control over a gun. So that makes guns a real wild card. I would not suggest that until the very end if we are out of options.”

“Naraku is brilliant and practical. I’m practical to but Naraku pushes practicality to a whole new level. He has no problem targeting children or females, so gender nor age will save you from him. He will physically, and psychologically torture you. He has many toys of torture. Like the Choke pear, Judas Chair to name a few.”

(Do not read the following paragraph if you do not like descriptions of the torture devices.)

“The Choke Pear was an iron torture device shaped like a pear. It was inserted into the victims mouth or anal or vaginal orifices and when it was inserted a key was turned causing spikes to emerge from the pear and wedge it in the victim so that it could not be removed. Judas Chair was a pyramid-shaped seat also called Judas Cradle. The person is placed on top of it with the point inserted into the anal or vaginal orifices and then slowly the torturer lowered the ropes. Naraku always seemed fascinated with any kind sexually based torture.”

(It is safe to read now.)

Kagome paused for a moment coming out of her memories of those particular torture devices. She’s seen them used before but never on her. She started again while everyone else was still seemingly in shock.

“Naraku knows how to weaken just about any foe. He attacks them at there weakest. He will attack there heart. In other words he will take family members, friends, anyone remotely connected to you in a positive way and torture them or just kill them.”

“Naraku is a brilliant strategist. He’s like a criminal mastermind. He likes to be creative how he kills off those important to you. He’ll behead them, burn them alive, crush them under a massive weight, disembowel them, electrocuting them, poisoning them with miasma until they die of air depravation, hanging them, impaling them on a sharp object, injecting them with a very fast and potent poison or chemical, like mercury for example, he’ll do anything and everything to get what he wants. He’s not afraid to turn people you love against you either.” Kagome said.

“He doesn’t fight many of the battles. Most of the time it will be another kugutsu and a large number of demons. If there is a chance that he can get out of a fight unharmed he’ll take it. He’s cowardly. But he’s not stupid enough to get himself killed. No he’s very cautious not to leave himself vulnerable.” Kagome said.

“He prefers to fight from afar using his miasma, tentacles and detachments of himself. But when you do fight him up close and personal he’ll use his claws and poison as well as a sword. He’s an expert swordsman and moderate at the whip.”

“He has many detachments they are: Kagura the wind demoness, Juuromaru and Kageromaru they are extremely fast and capture there victims with speed and poison; they eat the inner organs of other beings. There is Kanna a void demon, she sucks the souls from people with her mirror, she can see anyone at any time through her mirror. “

“Can she see us?” Kuwabara asked.

“No I have a barrier around my home.” Kagome said easing his fears.

“He has a few more minions like Goshinki who could read minds move very quickly and was extremely strong with powerful teeth. Hakudoshi has the ability to wield weapons very well and is fast and strong for his small form. He appears to be about 7-8 years old. He favors the spear. There is also Kohaku, he’s under Naraku’s control. He is also Sango’s brother.” Kagome finished.

“How do you know so much about him?” Hatori asked softly.

Kagome stilled. She looked up at everyone in the room to find them all staring at her. “I guess I have no choice but to tell you of my past. My entire past is connected to what connected me to Naraku.” Kagome said with a resigned sigh.

Everyone was completely alert now. No one had ever heard Kagome’s whole story. She’d always been reluctant to tell. But she had no choice but to tell now, after all her past may have something that they can use against Naraku that she hadn’t spotted though that was very unlikely.

“I’ll show you some scene’s from my life as I tell you about what happened.”

“I was born 6 year’s before Tohru. For the first 3 years my father wasn’t abusive and my mother Kyoko was still happy for lack of better word. Then when I turned 4 he started to become abusive towards me while Kyoko was at work supporting us. My father became a drunk for reason’s unknown to me. He continually beat me and forced me to keep silent about it otherwise Kyoko would get beaten also. So I kept quiet. Shortly after I turned six during one of my father’s beating sessions Kyoko came and saw what he was doing. He was out of it then so he didn’t notice her. I tried to get her to leave so that she wouldn’t be beaten but he had spotted her and advanced on her. I was already halfway to unconsciousness so there was nothing I could do... I was to weak.”

They all listened to Kagome with some weird fascination about her past as pictures of part of her past popped up like her father whipping her with his leather belt. Her father throwing her into walls, stairs etc. Her father cutting her skin up, and just beating her up with his fists and kicking her. Tohru closed her eye’s in shame at what her father did.

“When I regained consciousness Kyoko was there. When I asked her what she was doing home early the other day she told me that she wanted to tell us the good news. She was pregnant with Tohru. I was shocked to say the least. I was not naive to the world’s ways, I knew how Tohru was conceived but I didn’t want Tohru to come into the life I had. So I told Kyoko to take the baby when she was born away from here. She was against the idea until I told her that I would try and visit them if I could get away from father. But she said that she’d come visit us. She took it to court and tried to get custody over me as well as Tohru but the court said that she would only be able to support one of us and that my father was the best for the job since his family is wealthy.”

“The courts decided that my father would gain custody of me and Kyoko of the unborn child. The court agreed that my mother could visit me on every other weekend. I wasn’t even there when Tohru was born. Kyoko brought Tohru to visit me every other weekend. The beatings didn’t seem to stop however, they seemed to get worse as the days past until I got used to the beatings. I got so used to the beatings that when he didn’t beat me I’d think something was wrong. Then on my 8th birthday he decided to give me a new gift. He violated me in every way he could. I was out cold after the first time because the pain was different then what I was accustomed to. I only found out later that he had violated me in every orifice when I woke the next afternoon. My jaw and other area’s of my body were screaming in agony.”

“I’d just gotten out of the tub when I heard a thud coming from downstairs. I dressed quickly in some rags that my father called clothes. Then I saw him beating on Kyoko and going toward the 2 year old Tohru. I lost it when I saw him strike her, I ran into the kitchen and grabbed the kitchen knife.” Kagome paused and looked up at Tohru who had tears in her eyes. “Then I ran back into the living room where he proceeded to bash Kyoko’s head in with a stone vase of some kind and I took the knife and ran up to him shoving the knife deep into his stomach and pushing it upwards trying to get the knife deeper and towards his heart. He died almost instantly. It was to quick for my taste...”

“I wanted him to suffer for all the pain he’d put our family through. I stood on the ground looking at Kyoko who had a two year old Tohru in her arms with blood dripping down my hands. She looked at me horrified at what she saw on my face. The cold hate and thirst for blood. She took Tohru and left, not that I blame her for abandoning me. I must have stood there for hours covered in his blood. Then he came. Naraku. He had apparently been watching me for years and he was impressed with my ability to survive. He’d just wondered when i’d kill him. He took me in under his wing. I believed that he really was trying to help me. I didn’t want to be weak. I would not be weak. And he was determined to have the perfect killing machine.”

“He took me with him to his ‘home’ and told me that I would have to undergo changes to become stronger, better. And I believed that these changes would be my salvation. “ Kagome laughed softly then, bitterly. “I was wrong...I was oh so wrong. It wasn’t my salvation, it was my damnation.”

“He changed me, experimented on me like I was some lab animal. He altered my blood. He did something to me. I’m not sure what exactly but when I woke again a year later I was what I am today. I was 1/4 vampire, 1/4 kitsune youkai, 1/4 miko, and 1/4 sorceress. I demanded that he undo what he’d done. But he didn’t, he said that he wasn’t expecting the changes and loss of my humanity. And I like the child I was believed him. He trained me in various arts and powers. Then he had me challenge against the masters...He had me challenge the Guardian of Elements, and the Mistress of Magic. We battled for days upon days but I defeated each of them gaining there titles.”

“I fell in love with Juuromaru during my stay with Naraku. It happened during training and sometime after I defeated the Guardian of Elements and Mistress of Magic and gained there titles and powers. I thought that he’d felt the same way, he lied. He used me because that’s what Naraku told him to do. I’d come so close to making him my mate to. It was during the time that I found out I had the Shikon no Tama in my body.”

“Wait a minute...You’ve had consensual sex before?” Yusuke asked.

Kagome gave him a look. “Of course.”

“Anyway, he demanded it and I refused to tell him where it was. He didn’t know where to look for it so that’s when he started to torture me. He used various torture tactics and toys on me. He never used the torture ‘toys’ that I mentioned to you earlier, but he did use them on other people while I was forced to watch. I was forced to watch as he did unforgivable things to people, he wanted my spirit to break along with my mind. And when he wasn’t torturing me physically or mentally it was psychological he isolated me, depraved me of food, water, rest, air. He would break into my mind and do things to my mind, mind rape me. Then he started to physically rape me. He tortured me for one year until I turned 11. It was then that I got away. “

“Inutashio, Sesshoumaru’s father found me half-dead in an alley way covered in my own blood, scars and burn marks amongst other things. He took me with him to heal. He was the previous lord of the western lands and the Oyabun of the South, he threatened to kill Tohru if I didn’t work for him. I’d met his sons and the rest of the Lords of Makai. We became allies. So I worked for him and took a mission that took 10 years to complete. I had to do some side jobs that popped up in my area for Inutashio but they were simple enough, I just couldn’t let my identity known. I’d become popular as Mistress Death and to the underworld and vampires as the Queen of the Damned after I saved Jakotsu, Sango, Bankotsu and Miroku. Shinya, Riko, Jigoku, and Kita came to me when I was on the mission in Kyoto and I took them in as mine.”

“I’d become exactly what Naraku wanted the perfect killer. Just not for him. I’d become very skilled at using my mental, physical and metaphysical(Supernatural) powers and my Magic and control over the elements. I also got used to torture. I could torture and be tortured. During the mission that came in handy considering I was tortured for 6 months before I came back and killed those fools.” Kagome murmured.

“They tortured me with things I was familiar with, seeing as they were the same ‘toys’ that Naraku used to use on me besides the blades, bamboo silvers, whips and other various things. They tied my arms behind my back and then a large rope that was tied to my wrists was passed over a hook on the roof and they would pull on the rope until I was suspended in midair by my arms, this was very painful and dislocated my arms on more then one occasion, this is known as strappado.”

“They also used other variations of torture such as: the wire jacket, which was a jacket made of iron wire which they place around the persons body , the wire was connected to wheels on each side so the torturer could tighten the jacket when needed. It would cut into flesh if the jacket were to become to tight. That also hurts like a sonofabitch. They never killed though. They had to much fun torturing.”

“They tortured me psychologically too. There is a variation of it called water cure or waterboarding. It is when they strap the victim to a board and lower it into a tub or something of the sort until they believe that drowning is imminent. The person is then removed and revived, the process is repeated. It is designed so the person being tortured is led to believe that there being executed. It didn’t work. I was used to that.”

“So they tried some other things. Sleep deprivation, Food deprivation, Water deprivation, Air depravation which pretty much speak for themselves. But I had plenty of practice with Naraku. And of course one of there favorite ‘torture toys’ the rack. The rack is a rectangular, steel frame with a roller at one end, normally it would be made of would but they were afraid i’d somehow escape a wooden one. I would have escaped all of this, if they didn’t have that stupid collar that threw my power back at me. It was only until after the incident that I realized that I could have destroyed the collar at anytime. Anyway my feet were tied to one end of the frame and my wrists tied to the chains attached to the roller. The handle and ratchet attached to the roller was used to increase tension on the ropes with causes excruciating pain and well the eventual dislocation of the joints slowly.”

“I came back and since I didn’t have time to torture them like they did me I did the next best thing, I used my control over wind and fire to burn and cut them, they died slowly because of my magic allowing them to live longer then they would have been able to without it. The people who came to there ‘rescue’ couldn’t stop the wind or the fire and they were eventually caught up in it too and died quite quickly.” Kagome said.

“And then...I visited Tohru and that brings us here.” Kagome said finishing off her history. Everyone sat there, shocked. Not only shocked, mortified. Kagome raised a single brow and sighed at how they didn’t respond. She stood and left the room while everyone was gaping at the place where she just sat. Kagome couldn’t take the tension and left the room leaving everyone to there thoughts.

‘Well, Now they know. I hope that there happy knowing the truth.’ Kagome thought bitterly, ‘Now they know what an evil person I am, Good thing I kept my cool and showed nothing during that wonderful conversation, otherwise I’d be vulnerable to there rejection of me. After all, I’ve always been rejected. I’ve never been good enough. But now I need no one. I’m Perfect...’ Her bitter thoughts toward herself now.

“Yeah...I’m perfect...Perfectly alone. “

‘I’ll save the pain until this is over, I’ll save the rage for Naraku and Kami-sama knows there’s an endless dark abyss of my rage. And then...Then...I’ll be blissfully numb and perfect in my lonely immortal life.’

A/n: Okay, once again i’m sorry for the long wait. I hope this chapter was to your liking. Please review again!!!
