Pain

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Kagome's pov: ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Kagura stopped in front of a large door. It was made of pure silver with pictures of a very bloody war. The door hands were shaped as snakes with blood coming from the fangs and the body of the snake had spider wed designs and the snakes were gold. I paused when Kagura turned to me expecting me to go through. I walked past her and went through the doors. There stood Naraku, with a sword in his hand looking expectantly at me. He pointed to a sword beside the door and I went to get it, as soon as I picked it up I felt him come towards me and I rolled out of the way to get out of the way.

"Hey! What the hell was that for?" I yelled standing up trying to lift the heavy sword

Naraku didn't answer me and again lunged at me. I rolled out of the way again barely getting out unscathed. I saw him lash at my arm before I could even move and cut it. I held my arm at the wound and by just feeling it I could tell it was deep.

"Fight!" I heard Naraku yell as he ran at me again

"How the hell…aw the hell with it!" I said as I threw the sword aside and drew my claws

`I hope this works.' I thought as I dodged a swing at my stomach

I ran at Naraku and tried to slash at his arm and he disappeared out of thin air and then I felt cool metal at my throat.

"Mistake one: Never let down your guard. Mistake two: Never make the first move; let your opponent make the first move." Naraku whispered as he kicked me in the back and I cried out and rolled away from him

This went on for hours and hours. I had finally landed a blow but he just ended up kicking me in the face and I rolled on the ground in pain, not wanting to move. I felt him walk up to me and kick me relentlessly.

"Get up! Did I say you can get up?" He snapped as he kicked me again and I screamed

"G…Go…to hell…bastard." I said as I let unconsciousness claim me

"Hmmm pathetic." Was the last thing I heard as he kicked me once again

~*~*~*~*~*One week later:*~*~*~*~*~*~

I woke up feeling intense pain I slowly sat up and winced in pain as I accidentally hit my ribs. I noticed that I was bandaged up. I slowly looked around and saw that I was in my room. It was dimly lit and cold. I then noticed someone enter the room and turn to me…it was Kagura.

"I see that you're awake. Naraku has been impatient for you to awaken. I'm here to bandage your wounds. I'll bring you food and water and then later I am supposed to train you to use your healing and other powers." She said as she started to take off my bandages.

"How long have I been asleep?" I asked

"A week." Kagura replied calmly

My eyes widened at those words.

`A week! Boy did he put me through hell! I'd don't even want to look at my body. It must be horrible just as I feel.' I thought as I winced at the type of medicine Kagura applied to my wounds

Kagura finished with the bandages and left. Soon after a servant that I've never seen brought some food and water. She had a long white kimono with dark blue and black snakes on the edge of her sleeves and fire at the bottom of her kimono and she had spiders on her collar. She had long blonde hair that was braided and kind brown eyes.

"Milady I brought you your food." The servant announced as she set the food in front of me

"Please call me Kagome…Uhh?" I said

"Kainta (A/N: Ky-in-ta). I am to be your personal servant…mi, Kagome." She said with a nervous smile

"If you don't mind why don't you look like any of the others?" I asked

She smiled and started to play with the sleeves of her kimono.

"If you're wondering why I'm different from the others is because I am. I'm not only left alone from Naraku's minions but I'm the only slave here that isn't under his control." Kainta said

"Why…?" I asked

"Because…I'm…Because I'm Onigumo's great grand child. Onigumo had several lovers as well as wives. My grand mother was the only child he had that survived. Naraku took her and made her a slave. She was treated special and had became a high class slave. She had a daughter and she to served as high ranking servant and now her daughter's daughter is a high class personal servant. It goes on and on. We respect the job we have and go on with our lives. It's not as bad as you think it is and Naraku isn't as bad as you believe him to be…" she said as se trailed off

Boy I'm just having way too many surprises this week. I think I might die this way. `Naraku, Onigumo having a great grand child that's just a surprise in it's self.' I thought

"Wow…" was all I could say as I finished the rest of my food

"I shall leave you to your peace now…Kagome." She said as she bowed and left the room

I sighed and laid down.

`I wonder what type of torture I'm going against next.' I joked as I decided to sleep till Kagura came

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~1 hour later~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Wake up girl! It's time!" I hard Kagura snap as I sat up groggily

"Get up and sit here!" Kagura ordered

"Fine! Fine!" I said as I barely made my way over there

"Now meditate!" She snapped as she stated to pace behind me

I tried to meditate but with Kagura pacing behind me I couldn't

"You know I'd be able to meditate if you would stop pacing behind me." I calmly said as she stopped and sighed and sat beside me.

"Meditate and try to feel your youki (sp?)." She more calmly said as she too began to meditate

I concentrated and I was able to sense my youki.

"Good now try to catch hold of it and use it to heal yourself." She said

I kept trying to grab hold of it but it kept slipping, finally after what seemed days, but only minutes, I was able to grab it. I concentrated on healing. Slowly I felt myself heal then it got very rapid. It became much more faster than what I could do with my miko powers. I opened my eyes and looked at my self. I noticed the bandages and frowned. I removed them and looked then. All my wounds were gone. Not even a scar and now I felt power in me that wasn't there before. I looked at Kagura.

"It is because it needed to be awakened. Now you will heal on your own…tomorrow I will be back to train you on your youki more. Be prepared!" She said as she left

I smiled to myself. I was stronger and able to heal without even concentrating. Whatever I go through I will make sure to become strong. Maybe I can become strong enough to defeat Naraku and return to my friends…

With that last thought I climbed into my bed and went to sleep…
