InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ A Slave to No One ❯ Chapter 20 ( Chapter 20 )

Chapter 20

 

Inuyasha started to slowly wake up from his ordeal. His mind was a foggy mess as he tried to think about what had happened to him.

 

He remembered the pain in his leg as he was trying to make it into the forbidden lands. He knew that it was something that would subdue him and he had been right. From the way he was feeling he guessed that the dart contained something that made him sleep.

 

He was lying on the cold hard ground staying very still as he was picking up the heartbeat from the guards outside his cell doors. He knew he had been captured and brought back to the processing facility.

 

The memories of that place started to come back into his mind as he tried not to think about it. He needed to keep his mind focus on what he had to do. He had to protect Kagome and he had to escape this hellhole.

 

He felt that his mate was still in his arms as he breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought that maybe they had taken her away from him. But his fears were put to rest as he felt his mate's gentle hot breath hitting him on his chest. She was still in his arms asleep.

 

He continued to wait until he got some more movements back into his body. The drug they had used on him wasn't allowing his muscles to work at the moment. He was slowly getting his strength back when he heard his guards leaving the area.

 

His ears twitched from side to side as it followed the sound of the retreating guards. Inuyasha was now free to open his eyes and move around.

 

He slowly sat up bringing Kagome with him as he did. He was in a cell, like the one he had when he was in this facility before. He kept his arms around his mate as he made his way slowly toward one of the corners of the room.

 

He braced his back against the wall as he placed his mate upon his lap and cradled her in his arms once again.

 

In some distant part of his mind he remembered that wench saying that they had placed Kagome in a sleeping spell and that she couldn't wakeup until they released her. `Well they don't know my mate very well yet.' He thought with a smirk as he leaned down and said in her ear, “Kagome, you need to hurry and break the spell. I'm afraid that they will find a way to separate us and I need your help to prevent this from happening. I will never let you go willingly but they may have found a new method to get us apart.”

 

He heard Kagome groan into his chest as he leaned his head down and breathed in her scent. Her scent kept his youkai blood in line. He didn't want to turn full youkai like he did the last time to look for his mate.

 

He closed his eyes as he waited for her to awaken.

 

Kagome had heard everything that Inuyasha had said to her. She was trying with all her strength but she was still unable to break the spell. She managed to get her mouth and tongue to work as she whispered, “Sword.”

 

Inuyasha ears twitched as he heard his mate's request. She was trying to break the spell but it was proving to be difficult. She wanted her sword so she could have more power.

 

He slowly brought one of her arms from around his waist and placed it on the tip of the sword. He saw it pulsate as it filled Kagome with the needed energy to break the spell.

 

Kagome felt the serge of power consume her body. She finally had enough strength to break the spell that was holding her.

 

It was a powerful spell. She had never encountered this type of a spell before and hoped never to encounter something like this again. It took everything she had to break it as she opened her eyes and stared at his beautiful golden ones.

 

She smiled at her mate as he brought her closer to him and she heard him whisper, “You need to rest Koishii, I will protect you while you sleep.”

 

Kagome nodded her agreement as she dozed off in his arms to regain her strength.

 

~-oOo-~

 

The slavers had come back to find that Inuyasha was awake and he had moved from the floor into a sitting position in a corner of the room. They watched with interest as he held the girl tight in his embrace.

 

One of the slavers went back to tell Kusco that he was awake and that he was still weak. If they wanted to get the girl away from the hanyou they would have to do it now that he was weak and couldn't defend her.

 

The slaver was running towards Naraku office where he knew Kusco was going to, when he met up with her in the hallways. He quickly told her that the hanyou was awake as Kusco smiled one of her most evil smiles. “I want you to go back and stay with the other guard. I will be arriving shortly with some help.”

 

The slaver acknowledged her command and left to go back to his guard duty.

 

Kusco quickly went to get some more guards. She wanted to move the hanyou and the girl to the training room. She had a plan and it was going to work once they got the hanyou into the room. Today was the day that she would kill that bitch and have the hanyou all to herself. She would be able to do whatever she wanted to do to him without that bitch standing in her way.

 

~-oOo-~

 

Inuyasha picked up the stench of that wench coming towards him. He raised his head to find that Kusco was standing in front of the cell door with five demons. He held Kagome closer to him as he slowly got up with her in his arms.

 

Kagome noticed that he was moving and gently asked in a very low voice, “Who's there Inuyasha?”

 

Inuyasha was growling as he replied so only she could hear, “That wench is back and she has company. This is going to get ugly. I need you to pretend like your still knocked out and wait for the right moment to attack.”

 

Kagome understood his orders as she closed her eyes and listened to what was about to happen.

 

The five demons entered the cell along with Kusco as Inuyasha looked at her with hatred in his eyes. Kusco stepped forward and said, “You are to come with us to another holding cell.”

 

Inuyasha eyed her with curiosity and said, “Why should I go with you? I think this cell is just perfect for me and my mate.”

 

Kusco looked at him as he held his mate closer to him and she said, “You will come with us or we will take you by force. I know that I can't touch you but I know for a fact that these demons can and they won't get hurt by the barrier that is protecting you two.”

 

Kusco looked at her slaves and signaled for them to step forward.

 

Inuyasha flexed his claws and bared his fangs at the demons. He saw the regret in their eyes as they came towards him. He knew that they didn't want to hurt him or his mate but they had no choice. They were being control by the necklace and they had to obey their master or get punished.

 

Inuyasha couldn't attack them. He held Kagome closer to him as he bowed his head in defeat and followed the demons out of his cell, walking down the hallway. They formed a tight circle around him as they lead him down this one dark hallway that looked familiar to him.

 

They turned into this one room and when he saw the pillar in the middle of the room with no windows, he knew where he was.

 

Inuyasha was grabbed from both sides as they held him still, while Kagome remained in his arms. The humans came up behind him and used the stun guns. They hit Inuyasha on his back and he cried out in pure agony. He tried to keep his hold on his mate but his muscles were beginning to fail.

 

At the same time two demons came forward and grabbed Kagome around the waist as they tried to pull her away from Inuyasha.

 

Kagome instantly came awake as she held on to Inuyasha with all her strength. The slavers seeing that the girl wasn't about to let go of the hanyou took the stun gun and zapped her arms to make her let go.

 

Kagome screamed in pain as they finally succeeded in getting the two apart.

 

Now that they were no longer together Kusco approached the stunned hanyou as he was fighting the two youkai to release him. The affects of the drugs they used on him left him weak not being able to fight against those who held him. The hanyou saw what Kusco had in her hand, as he yelled, “NO!!!” Struggling frantically in his capturer's grasp.

 

Kusco reached him and placed the necklace around his neck while her demon slaves were holding him. Once it was around his neck it activated.

 

Inuyasha immediately felt when his demonic powers were taken away from him. With his powers gone the full force of what they had done to his body was immediately felt. The pain was almost too much for him bear to put up a fight as he fell limp in the guards hands. He looked up as he saw his mate crying. He was now unable to protect her.

 

With the necklace securely around his neck Kusco smiled wide and said, “SIT!”

 

Inuyasha immediately fell to the ground face first, as the demons that were holding onto him let go when their master said the word that would activate the necklace.

 

The subduing necklace had him pinned to the ground as he was trying to get back up on his feet. He was winning the fight as his demon side decided to come out and he started to change.

 

Kusco was ready for him this time; she pulled a syringe out of her pocket and injected him with a mild sedative. It would keep him calm for the time being and sent him crashing to the ground once again. She then turned her attention towards Kagome.

 

Kagome was struggling against the youkai that were holding onto her. She was still weak from breaking the spell that she couldn't use her miko powers. She saw when Kusco put a subduing necklace on her mate and she yelled, ”INUYASHA!!!”

 

Kagome saw everything that the bitch did to her Inuyasha as she continued to yell and try to break free from their hold on her. She saw Kusco try to touch her mate as she screamed, “Kusco! Leave him alone! He has done nothing to you. Why can't you just leave him alone?” Her blue eyes were burning with rage as she looked at Kusco.

 

Kusco turned and walked over to Kagome. She stopped right in front of her as she took her hand and slapped her, not just once but twice as Kagome's head turned in the direction of each slap.

 

Kagome looked at her with revulsion, as the blood was coming out of the corner of her mouth. Her anger was slowly starting to grow. She knew that if she gave into her anger that her demon side will come out. But at this point she really didn't care, she just wanted to kill the bitch that was in front of her, as she continued to struggle against her captors.

 

Kusco saw the expression on the girls face and smiled, `I'm going to enjoy torturing this one.' She stepped a little closer to Kagome and said, “I'll do whatever the fuck I want to do to him because he belongs to me now and there's nothing you can do about it. You should've listened to me back then when I told you that you really didn't want to buy him. Now you have to pay the price for your stupidity.”

 

Kusco didn't notice that Kagome had practically put all of her weight on her arms making the demons on each side of her hold her body upright. Kusco was close enough that when she was finished speaking Kagome had taken her right foot and swung it up in an arc to hit Kusco on the right side of her face. Kagome moved so fast that it was just a blur. She had knocked her to the ground as Kagome stood her ground and smirked.

 

Kagome looked down to meet her green eyes as she said, “Inuyasha belongs to me, he's my mate not yours. Touch him again and you will feel my wrath. I know what you did to him before, so I owe you for mistreating him.”

 

Kusco got up as she stared daggers at the girl. She didn't care who she was she was going to teach her a lesson. Kusco threw her head back as she started to laugh then she told her guards to place the chains on the girl and the hanyou.

 

The youkai moved with speed to carry out her bidding. They knew what was coming as they finished putting the chains on the hanyou and the girl. They brought them into the training room and that's when Kagome saw the rest of their bodyguards, they were all there, they had been beaten severely.

 

They were bleeding from all the cuts they had all over their body. They were chained against the wall hanging by their wrist. Kagome turned towards Kusco and yelled, “Why did you have to do that to them?!!! They've never hurt you!”

 

Kusco heard the girls outburst and simply said, “Because, I enjoy causing pain to others.” She turned towards the demons that were holding Kagome and said, “Chain her to the pillar.”

 

Inuyasha heard Kusco orders and he was struggling, frantically, to get free to help Kagome. He knew what was coming, as he yelled, “NO!! KAGOME!!!”

 

Kagome was struggling against the demons that were holding her. She was still too weak from breaking the sleeping spell to protect her self as they dragged her toward the pillar. They raised her wrist until the rings on her chain were put on the hook up above her head. She stood there on the tip of her toes, now knowing what it felt like when they had done this to Inuyasha.

 

Inuyasha was fighting against his guards as he was beginning to overcome the drug that Kusco had given him. But for some reason his youkai powers was totally gone, it left him feeling weaker than before. Then he realized that they had placed a more powerful necklace around his neck, that took away all of his demonic powers and he was left defenseless.

 

They dragged him over to a wall where they chain his hands to it. He was standing there with his arms spread out on either side of him, with his back against the wall. He looked on in pure horror at what Kusco was going to do to his mate. He tried to break his bonds but they were too strong for him to break.

 

The inu youkai noticed that they had captured Inuyasha and his mate as they started to wake up from their drunken stupor. They were yelling at Kusco to let them go as they were starting to struggle against their chains.

 

Kusco was deeply touched at all the yelling that was going on as she picked up her whip and started to beat them all, to get them to quite down.

 

Inuyasha was the most vocal as he yelled, “Kusco! Leave my mate alone! She has done nothing to deserve this.”

 

Kusco looked at him and said, “Are you willing to submit to me and do anything I ask of you?”

 

Inuyasha looked at her, he hated the wench that was in front of him, as he said, “NO! I can't do what you want me to do. I'm mated for life and that's how it is. Now!... Let!… Her!… Go!!!”

 

Kusco looked at him with amusement in her eyes as she said, “Too bad, I'm going to enjoy this.”

 

Inuyasha continued to yell at Kusco as she quickly turned on her heals and sent the whip crashing into his chest. The white Juban he was wearing turned a bright red as his skin split when the whip made contact with his body. She continued to whip him until he fell silent. He was breathing hard but he wouldn't yell out in pain, he wouldn't give her the satisfaction.

 

Kusco smirked as she saw him slump down on his chains and then she turned her attention towards the girl as she got her knife out.

 

Kagome was facing the pillar as Kusco approached with a knife in her hands. She made sure that Kagome saw the knife as she waved it in front of her eyes.

 

Kagome watched as Kusco took her knife and slowly started to cut away the Haori that she was wearing. Kusco made sure that the knife would cut Kagome on occasion as she ripped the shirt apart. By the time she finished Kagome had cuts all over her arms and back. But she never once yelled out in pain.

 

Kusco eyed the girl with curiosity, not once did she ever cry out in pain. This got her even angrier because she enjoyed having her victims cry out in pain. The scream was like an aphrodisiac for her and when the girl didn't say anything it made her that much more determined to torture her.

 

Inuyasha's wrists were starting to bleed as he continued to struggle against his bonds. He looked on in pure horror as he was picking up the scent of Kagome's blood. His blood was slowly starting to boil as Kusco continued to torture his mate.

 

`Mate' that word continued to ring in his head as his demon blood was slowly taking over his body. His anger was continuing to grow, as he watched, unable to do anything.

 

Kagome had to endure what that bitch was doing to her. She was not about to scream out in pain to give her any satisfaction. She felt the tip of the blade cut her each and every time when Kusco let the blade slip to cut her skin. Her blood continued to go down her arms as she cut the haori away from her body.

 

Kagome had to concentrate, she needed to heal her wounds but more importantly she needed to heal Inuyasha's wounds. She knew he was hurting as she saw him struggling out of the corner of her eye. `Now I know how Inuyasha felt when he was being punished. I have no idea how he was able to survive while he was slowly being tortured.' A lone tear fell down the side of her cheek as she watched her mate struggle against the chains that were holding him.

 

Kagome's anger continued to grow as Kusco continued with her punishment. She got her whip out next as she flexed her wrist to hear the loud snap of the weapon.

 

Kagome looked on in pure horror when she saw Kusco coming towards her. She shuttered knowing what was coming next as she braced herself for the impact. Kusco took her whip and snapped it as it landed on Kagome's back.

 

Kagome gripped her chains as she felt the whip hit her back. She was breathing heavily as her body shook from the impact. The pain was excruciating as she felt her skin split under her assault. She closed her eyes as she continued to endure the torture and for the first time she realized what her mate had gone through.

 

Kagome never cried out as Kusco continued to whip her. Kagome was getting angrier by the minute. She now knew how much Inuyasha suffered when he was here in this facility. She was going to bring this place down if it was the last thing she did.

 

Kusco smiled when she finally stopped. She looked at her handy work and was proud at what she saw. The girl's back was raw. She was bleeding heavily as her tank top was almost in rags. She turned to look at the hanyou who had his head down.

 

She walked over to him and grabbed a hand full of his hair as she pulled his head up. When she looked into his eyes she saw the hatred he felt for her. She then said, “Are you ready to submit to me and do everything I say no matter what.”

 

Inuyasha started to growl deep and menacing as he turned his eyes to his mate. She was hanging from her wrist as he saw the blood coming from her back. His heart ached to see his mate like that as Kusco asked him the same question again. When he didn't respond she grabbed his ear as she started to dig her nails into them.

 

Inuyasha screamed in pain. He didn't want to submit to this wench but if he didn't Kagome would suffer the consequences. He continued to feel the pain she was inflicting on his ear as he felt the blood running down the side of his face.

 

Kusco asked again, “Will you submit to me and do everything I ask or would you rather I hurt the girl some more.”

 

Inuyasha was breathing heavily from the attack on his ear, he was about to speak when Kagome answered for him, “I can tell you the answer to that question. The answer is `No.' He belongs to me and I will never let you take away my mate.”

 

Kusco let go of the hanyou's ear as she turned towards the girl in chains and said, “Well, if he won't submit to me then I need to kill you. That way, there won't be any problems with him obeying my orders.”

 

Kagome started to laugh as she said, “What makes you think that you can kill me, you bitch. I may look weak but I'm a hell of a lot stronger than you think.”

 

Kusco eyed the girl then she said, “We will see about that!”

 

Kagome had her head down the entire time she was speaking to Kusco. So Kusco never noticed that her eyes had gone completely blood red as Kagome transformed into her demon form. Her anger had been great that her sword was no longer able to suppress the demon blood that flowed through her veins. When Kusco grabbed her mate's ears and hurt them that was the last straw, those where her ears and she will pay dearly for hurting them.

 

Kusco walked back over to the girl as she prepared to whip her for her out burst. She pulled back her arm and was about to let go when someone said, “Kusco! What do you think you're doing!?”

 

~-oOo-~

 

Naraku was in his office going over the numbers for the sale of the girl. He wanted to make sure that he was well compensated for all of his troubles. It had been an expensive venture up to this point to get the hanyou and the girl to the facility. Now that he had them he had to make sure he kept them alive until the negotiations were done with King Higurashi.

 

He looked up at his clock and noticed the time. His eyebrows came together as a thought crossed his mind, `the man I sent with the ransom note hasn't returned yet. It has been over two hours. He should've been there and back in less than an hours time.'

 

Naraku got up from his desk as he walked to the doors. When he opened it he noticed that the facility was deathly quite. In all the time he had owned the facility it has never been this quite before. It sent a chill up his spine.

 

He then remembered that Kusco had been gone for a long time too. He was beginning to get worried that she might be putting his investments in jeopardy and decided to see what she was doing first, before he went and inquired about his errand boy.

 

Naraku went to the 6th floor because he knew that's where the hanyou and the girl were being kept. He walked down the hallway going toward the cell that held them. As he was approaching he heard someone talking but couldn't make out what they were saying. It was coming from the training room so he went in that direction to investigate.

 

When he reached the training room he opened the door to find Kusco drawing back her arm with the whip getting ready to hit the girl as he walked in and said, “Kusco! What do you think you're doing!?”

 

Kusco turned in time to see Naraku walking towards her. She got a disgusted look on her face as he came closer. She knew she was in big trouble by the look on his face.

 

Naraku walked right up to Kusco as he eyed the girl that was chained to the pillar. The blood was splattered everywhere from where the girl had been beaten. Her skin was all cut up from all of the knives and whip marks on her body.

 

Naraku became enraged and said, “Kusco! How can we even get our demands if you kill them. They're worthless to us dead. They have to remain unharmed in case the king asked to see them. You have just ruined everything that we have put into place for the last 3 months! And now I can't even sell her looking like that. Do you have any idea how much money you just cost me?”

 

Kusco became enraged as she looked at Naraku and said, “I don't care about your plans. I want the hanyou and as long as she's alive he will never submit to me. I will make sure that she dies by my hand!” She then turned and raised her hand, as she was about to hit Kagome with the whip.

 

Naraku reached out and grabbed her arm as he said, “Are you crazy! You can't kill her yet. We still need her alive.”

 

They were about to continue arguing over the girl when they heard the sound of chains breaking and hitting the floor. They both looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the chains had been broken completely off the girl's wrist, neck, and ankles.

 

They saw Kagome lower her arms as she slowly turned around to face them. She had her head down so they couldn't see her features, her eyes were covered by her bangs, as a deep and menacing growl started to come from her. They both backed away as the girl started to speak.

 

“I'm not a slave to be brought and sold like a piece of furniture. I'm a breathing living being and I have the right to live just like everyone else. I can no longer permit you to torture the demons the way you have been doing. I will bring down this facility and then I will take great pleasure in killing the both of you.” At that moment Kagome raised her head and revealed her eyes to the enemy.

 

Kusco and Naraku were shocked to see that the girl's eyes had turned blood red. They saw the fangs that she was barring as she flexed her claws where human fingers nails used to be. She had turned into a demon and they didn't know how this could've happen.

 

Kagome eyed Kusco as she flexed her claws at her, “I told you that Inuyasha belongs to me and I'm not letting a bitch like you take him away. I'm going to show you the hurt that you have caused these youkai before I send you to meet your maker.”

 

Kagome had enough of the two in front of her. They had hurt her the way they had hurt her mate. She had promised him that she would never let them enslave him again and even more that she wouldn't let Kusco get a hold of her mate. She was bound and determined to keep her promise as she made her way towards them flexing her claws to show them she meant business.

 

Kusco saw her coming as she yelled for her slaves to take the girl down. The slaves had no choice as they encircle the girl to prevent her from advancing.

 

Kagome stopped her approach as she started to growl fiercely at the demons that surrounded her. She flexed her claws, as she got ready to attack.

 

Kusco walked up behind Macho and stood there. She was pulling a necklace out of her pocket. `If she has turned into a demon then I should be able to subdue her like a demon.' Kusco got ready as she threw the necklace towards Kagome and it landed around her neck.

 

Kusco smiled as she said, “SIT!” The necklace around Kagome's neck started to glow as it was trying to pull her down to the floor.

 

Kagome was fighting the affects of the necklace as she went down to her hands and knees. Kusco seeing this ordered her demons slaves to grab her.

 

The demons started to go towards Kagome when they heard, “DON'T TOUCH MY MATE!”

 

~-oOo-~

 

Inuyasha had been steadily listening to Kusco. She was bound and determined to make him to submit to her. But he would never be a slave to her or anyone. He saw as Kusco went towards his mate, as she gripped the handle of the whip in her right hand even tighter.

 

His blood was beginning to boil. He smelled his mate's scent and knew that she had turned full youkai. He had seen her break her bonds as she slowly turned around and started walking towards Kusco.

 

He watched everything in front of him as his anger grew. When he saw his mate go down he lost it. His demonic powers grew as he transformed into his full youkai form. His eyes turned blood red, his fangs grew longer, and his claws grew to twice the length, as two purple stripes appeared on each side of his cheeks.

 

He broke the bonds that were holding him and when he heard Kusco tell her slaves to grab his mate he yelled. “DON'T TOUCH MY MATE!”

 

The slaves turned around to see that the hanyou had transformed into a full youkai. He leaped in front of his mate protecting her from the advancing youkai. He flexed his claws at them preventing them from getting any closer to the girl.

 

Kusco had backed away. She had seen him do this before. Fear started to take over her body as she saw the hanyou; he looked more menacing than before. She didn't like the idea of dealing with the hanyou when he was in his full youkai form. She saw that he still had the necklace around his neck as she smiled and said, “SIT!”

 

Inuyasha's necklace lit up but he was still standing, he was fighting the affects of the necklace as it was trying to pull him down. He reached up and pulled on the necklace around his neck as he broke it.

 

Kusco eyes grew big when she saw him do this. She ordered the slaves to take them as Inuyasha flexed his claws ready to attack.

 

The demons looked at each other. Clearly they didn't want to attack the hanyou when he was transformed. When they hesitated Kusco yelled, “Obey!” as the necklace sent a wave of pain throughout their bodies.

 

The slaves howled in pain as they turned toward the hanyou and walked towards him. They had no choice, they had to do as they were told or suffer the consequences. They were about to grab Inuyasha when something happened.

 

~-oOo-~

 

Kagome had been on her knees fighting the affects of the necklace. She was channeling almost everything she had as she started to glow pink. She concentrated her powers on the necklace, not just on hers but on every single necklace in the facility.

 

Her powers continued to grow and when she had enough energy she released it throughout the area. Every necklace in the processing facility broke as she broke the spell that the necklace held.

 

The slave demon's that where about to grab Inuyasha stopped as they felt the necklace break and fall to the ground. They felt their demonic powers being returned to them as they stood there in complete and utter shock.

 

Kagome was panting on the ground as she slowly stood up and faced Kusco. Her eyes were still blood red and she was sweating from the effort of breaking all of the necklaces.

 

“I have broken all of the subduing necklaces in the facility. You no longer have control over the demons here. I will take care of you so that you won't ever hurt us again. Once I'm done with you I will bring this facility down.” Said Kagome as she growled and flexed her claws at her enemy.

 

Naraku had been watching everything the whole time. `That girl has tremendous powers. She must be a miko in order for her to do all of these things. We have to escape and think of something else that we can do to get what we want. As long as she is like this we will never be able to subdue her.'

 

Naraku reached over and grabbed Kusco's arm as he pulled her out the door with him and locked it. `It won't give us much time to get away from here but it will buy us a few minutes.'

 

“Kusco, we have to get away from here. That girl is a miko and as long as she is transformed like that you can never subdue her. We have to retreat, regroup, and think of a new plan to get us what we want.” Kusco nodded her head in understanding as they started to run down the hallway to get away from the enraged hanyou. When she looked over her shoulder she saw the door getting blown apart.

 

~oOo~

 

Kagome had been watching as the humans backed away and ran out the door. She was surrounded by the demons with no way to get there. She was getting angry as she leapt into the air and landed on the other side of the demon slaves. She ran towards the door and threw all of her body weight against it, as she broke through it. The door shattered into a million pieces from the force of her impact.

 

Kagome then turned and followed their scents down the hallway looking for the humans that were running away from her.

 

Inuyasha had about enough of the demons in front of him, he was about to lash out at them when they all backed away. He heard a crash as he turned toward the noise, he saw his mate running out the door going after the humans. He took off after her leaving behind a very relieved group of demons.

 

The captured guards had seen Inuyasha running after his mate. They yelled, “Release us! We must free all of the slaves in this facility and leave. Kagome and Inuyasha will bring this facility down killing anyone left inside the building. They are in their full youkai form and they don't know what they're doing. We must hurry if you want to be freed!”

 

At the last word that the inu youkai said snapped the demon slaves out of their stupor. They rushed forward and broke the chains that held the guards against the wall. They all were turning to leave the training room when they met with one of their own and filled him in on what was going on. He told them what to do as they left the training room heading in all directions as they began releasing all of the slaves in the facility.

 

They met with some resistance as they were releasing the slaves from their cells. Human guards were everywhere as they tried to stop the escape. Inuyasha's guards took care of the humans, not wanting the slaves to take care of them for fear that they might kill them. The guards then escorted the escaping demons to the lower levels.

 

When they had succeeded in their mission they all meet down in the lower levels. They took a head count to make sure that everyone was accounted for. Satisfied that everyone was there they all rushed outside to freedom following the guards from the Western Lands.

 

As they ran out the door what they saw made them all stop in their tracks as thousands of soldiers came out of the forest. There were human and demon soldiers there. A group of demons soldiers surrounded the group of demon slaves that escaped from the facility, to keep them from attacking the human soldiers in front of them.

 

Then out of the forest came none other than Lord Inutaisho and King Higurashi as they walked towards them.

 

~-oOo-~

 

King Higurashi and Lord Inutaisho had been sitting around the table discussing the plan to attack the facility. When they had completed all of the necessary planning King Higurashi looked up and said, “I think this plan will work out just fine. The only thing I worry about is getting Kagome and Inuyasha out of that facility unharmed.”

 

“Yes, I have the same concerns as you. I know that my son is very stubborn and will not give up Kagome without a fight. But if they do manage to separate them then we will be in for a fight. Inuyasha will turn into his full youkai form and he will look for Kagome. No one will be safe if that happens.” Said Inutaisho as he sighed and rubbed his tired eyes.

 

King Higurashi had no idea what he was talking about as he asked, “What do you mean by him turning into his full demon form? Isn't he a demon already?”

 

Lord Inutaisho laughed, as he said, “No, he's a hanyou half human, half demon, if he loses control and gets mad he can change into a full youkai. He has done this before when he wanted to be with your daughter and I refused to let him come to her. He will protect her at all cost, even if it means his death.

 

Kagome also has this ability now that she has some of my son's blood in her. She will be harder to subdue for she is powerful in this form.

 

If they do turn into full youkai then I'm the only one that can subdue them. They are both very powerful and it requires a great deal of strength to bring them down.”

 

King Higurashi had no idea that this could happen; he was about to say something else when they heard a commotion outside of the office. They both stood and went towards the door as they opened it to see what was going on.

 

When they stepped outside the door they saw Inutaisho men holding a human that was struggling in their grasp. Inutaisho stepped forward and growled, “What is going on? Why do you have a human subdued?”

 

The guards quickly bowed as they held on to the human and said, “My Lord, we have caught this human sneaking into the house. He claims to have a message for King Higurashi. We have picked up faint traces of Kagome and Inuyasha's scent on him.”

 

Lord Inutaisho eyes grew wide at what he was told. He stepped forward and said, “If you have any information about my son then I suggest that you start talking. I'm not in a forgiving mood right now and it might mean your death unless you comply.”

 

The human being held by the demons shook in fear. He reached into his shirt and pulled out a letter that was addressed to King Higurashi and he handed it to the demon in front of him.

 

Lord Inutaisho took the letter from the human and gave it to the king. He then turned to his men and said, “Take him to a secure area and don't let him out of your sight. If he escapes it will be your heads.” The guards bowed in fear as they took the human back outside to put him in a safe place.

 

Lord Inutaisho turned around to face the king. He was reading the letter and when he looked up he had a pale look on his face. Inutaisho saw this and said, “What's wrong? What do they want?”

 

King Higurashi gave the letter to Lord Inutaisho for him to read. He took it as he read their demands:

 

We have your daughter and her hanyou slave. If you want your daughter back alive and unharmed these are our demands.

 

You will declare slavery to be a legal business now and forever. With no way any future king or queen will be able to rescind this law.

 

You will open up the forbidden lands for our slave capturers to hunt in. No longer will there be a law that will punish those who hunt for demons.

 

You will issue an order that will allow us to take any demons without a subduing necklace as slaves.

 

We will free your daughter once these demands are met as for the hanyou he will remain in our facility as a slave for the rest of his life.

 

If you refuse our demands we will not hesitate to kill your daughter and her hanyou slave. You have until morning to meet our demands or you will never see your daughter alive.

 

Inutaisho looked up from the letter he was reading. He was clearly pissed that anyone will make a threat against his family. His son was everything to him and he was not about to let him be enslaved. “We must move our plan of attack for tonight. If we don't then we will never see our children again. Even if you met their demands they will not release your daughter.”

 

King Higurashi looked up from the ground and said, “Your right, they will never give us back our children if I give into their demands. I can't let them take your son as a slave when he has done nothing but protect and love my daughter. We must get everything ready so we can attack.”

 

King Higurashi turned to his commander and said, “Get our forces ready we move in 15 minutes to the processing facility to get my daughter back.”

 

The commander bowed as he left to get the soldiers ready for the attack.

 

Inutaisho bowed slightly as he left to gather his forces. There was to be an all out attack against the facility to get his son back. But something in the back of his mind kept on bugging him as he went toward his army. Something was going on and he knew it wasn't good.

 

He walked outside toward his men as he told his commander to get ready for the attack on the facility. The commander hurried off to get his men ready to move as Miroku approached Inutaisho.

 

He looked at him with concern and said, “My lord, is there anything wrong? You seem upset about something.”

 

Inutaisho looked up from the ground, deep in thought, “there is something going on at the processing facility. I can feel that something has happened to my son but I don't know what. When we get there I will decide the best course of action to take. If those people hurt my son or his mate they will feel my wrath.”

 

Miroku understood what he was saying. His son meant everything to him and now that he was mated so did the girl. He will give his own life to protect them.

 

The men were ready to move as they left King Higurashi home to go to the processing facility.

 

~-oOo-~

 

They arrived during the cover of darkness. Lord Inutaisho was looking for Mike as he walked closer to the facility. He spotted him near the same tree he had found him earlier that night where the demon slave agreed to help them get his son back.

 

Mike heard a noise behind him as he quickly turned around to see who was coming towards him. He spotted Lord Inutaisho and quickly bowed low to the ground as he greeted him.

 

Inutaisho stopped in front of him and said, “Have they moved them from this facility? Or are they still inside?”

 

“They're still in there but something is going on. The place is deathly quite. I've been here for two days and this is the first time that I haven't heard anything coming from the inside of the facility. Usually I can hear the cry of a youkai or their moans of pain but tonight that seems to be gone.” Mike said as he looked at his lord with worry in his eyes.

 

“Yes, I feel it too. Something is going on inside and we need to find out what it is. I want you to go into the facility and see what you can find out. I want to know what they're doing to my son and his mate as soon as possible. We will hold off the attack until you have returned.” Inutaisho looked at Mike to see if he had understood his instructions.

 

Mike bowed and nodded that he understood and quickly got dressed in the clothes that were provided by the demon slave. He made his way toward the door as he heard a soft click that meant it was unlocked, as he pulled it open and slipped inside.

 

He had been right, there was no sound coming from the facility as he made his way down the hallway. He found the door that the Oushi youkai told him about as he quickly made it up to the 6th floor of the building.

 

He slowly opened the door to see what was going on. When he saw that no one was in the hallway he gently opened the door the rest of the way and slipped in. He walked silently as he followed his nose towards his friends scent. He caught the scent of Inuyasha and Kagome and breathed a sigh of relief. He now knew for sure that they were on this floor as he made his way towards them.

 

When he got to this one part in the hallway he stopped as he saw two humans leaving a room and quickly locking the door. They were running down the hallway when something broke through the door and took off after them.

 

Mike's eyes grew big when he realized whom that someone was that had broken that door with such force. He never knew that she had that much strength. Her scent was different as she ran down the hallway chasing after the two humans who had left the room not to long ago.

 

Kagome had the scent of a full youkai as Mike watched her running down the hallway. A moment later he saw Inuyasha chasing after his mate as he followed her scent in the direction of the humans.

 

Mike didn't know what was going on but he knew for a fact that Inuyasha scent was that of a full youkai, which meant they had done something to his mate. He rushed forward as he looked into the room in which they came out of and he looked on in horror.

 

He saw all of his companions up against the wall and they had all been beaten to an inch of their life, judging by all of the wounds on their body. He saw blood in the middle of the room near a pillar and knew that it belonged to Kagome.

 

He saw the demon slaves releasing his friends as he rushed in and said, “What is going on? Where did Inuyasha and Kagome run off to?”

 

One of his companions looked up and said, “Kagome seems to have turned into a full youkai. Inuyasha ran off after her when she went after the slavers that had just tortured her. She made a threat that she was going to bring down this entire facility for what they've done. We're going to go and free all of the slaves before that happens.”

 

Mike looked at all of the slaves and then noticed that they were no longer wearing the necklace around their necks and asked, “What happened to the subduing necklaces?”

 

“Kagome broke them all when they placed one on her and Kusco was trying to subdue her. She has released everyone from the spell.” Said one of the other guards as they came closer to Mike.

 

Mike stood there for a few minutes thinking and then he said, “Gather all of the slaves in this facility and then meet downstairs in the lower levels. Once everyone has been released leave the facility and run into the forest, I will be there waiting for you to escort you all back to the Western Lands. You are not to kill any humans in this facility. Lord Inutaisho will not permit you to live on his land if you have ever shed human blood. This is his law.” Said Mike as he looked at all of the slave demons in front of him.

 

All of the slaves nodded their agreement to his statement. All they wanted was to be free from this place. They would do anything to get away from here, as would any of the other slaves in the facility.

 

Mike watched as they left the room and spread out to set the slaves free from their cells. He quickly turned and ran back down the stairs as he rushed outside into the forest to find Inutaisho.

 

It didn't take him long to find him as he quickly approached and told him what was going on inside the facility.

 

Inutaisho stood there listening to what Mike was saying. He turned to his commander and said, “I want a group of our warriors to be ready to meet the slaves as soon as they come out of the facility. They will attack any humans they see to get away from here. They are to be taken to the clearing that is behind us and kept there until we settle the matter of what is going on inside the building, then they can be escorted back to the Western Lands and be set free to live their lives.”

 

The commander understood his orders as he got 20 of his demons soldiers ready to greet the slaves as they left the facility.

 

It didn't take long for the slaves to emerge from the building and when they were about to reach the forest the demon soldiers surrounded them in a protective circle along with the human soldiers who were standing behind them.

 

Lord Inutaisho and King Higurashi came out of the forest to greet them when one of his guards said, “My Lord, Inuyasha and Kagome have turned into their full youkai form and they're starting to bring the building down. They have encountered some resistance from the human slavers and soon they will be leaving the building, running for the safety of the city. They are chasing Kusco and Naraku as we speak.”

 

Inutaisho listened and then said, “Thank you for the information, we will deal with the human slaver and we will deal with Kagome and Inuyasha as well.” He nodded to his soldiers who took all of the demon slaves into the forest to rest and await the outcome of the battle that was raging inside the facility.

 

Inutaisho turned to King Higurashi and said, “It seems that the sword I gave your daughter wasn't enough to keep her demon nature in check. She has also turned full youkai like my son. Now I have to deal with both of them.

 

I want you to deal with the humans that will be leaving the facility. Leave Inuyasha and Kagome to me and I will subdue them. Once I have done this we will leave to go back to the Western Lands. I want to make sure that they return to their normal form, I don't want to risk your kingdom if they get away from me. We can handle them in my kingdom, yours is just to fragile to deal with the power that these two hold.”

 

King Higurashi nodded his agreement to his request. If he wanted to keep his daughter safe then he had to let them deal with the situation. He knew deep down in his heart that he would never hurt his daughter; if anything he knew he would give his life to protect her.

 

They waited outside to see what was going to happen. They heard a rumbling noise from somewhere deep inside the building and knew that they were attacking. They held their breath hoping that the two left inside would come out very soon.

 

~oOo~

 

Wow, do you think Kagome is pissed at Kusco? Well you will have to wait to see what will happen to them.

 

I was asked if Rin would be Sesshomaru's mate in this story. No, she is not his mate. His mate is the character that I created. In my mind she is still a child and I couldn't pair them together. But you won't be disappointed in the character.

 

As for the reason why Inuyasha's father lived when his mother died. Well a full explanation will be given later in the story.

 

That is the end to another chapter. Remember to leave me a review and tell me what you think.

 

Until the next chapter!

 

Ja ne!
