&&&&&& Chapter 6 &&&&&&

I was standing there staring at the stone wall before me, fantasizing about all the truly horrible things I would do to that traitoress Kagura, when said betrayer entered my prison.

I shot to my feet and pulled against my restraints. I growled menacingly. I wanted to tear her apart with my claws.

The wind goddess just stared at me, as if surveying a caged beast. Which was what I felt like.

I wanted to rip her head clear off her shoulders or, at the very least, purify her ass. Needless to say I was miffed.

I could feel the blood seeping into my eyes. My body began to tremble. I was losing control. Damn it.

I beat back my inner demon and blinked it away. I had to suppress myself or I would change. With the enchanted manacles on, it would have done more bad then good.

I never took my eyes off of the woman I had once considered my friend. She was quiet, and hid herself behind a mask of indifference. I really wanted to throttle her. If only she would move closer.

I really wouldn't have cared less, if she had apologized or showed even a semblance of regret. I still would have hated her. Even if I did forgive her. In the end she would pay.

I*m generally a very forgiving person as far as things go, but this was an unforgivable act.

I*d trusted her for the better part of my life only to have her betray me now. I growled. I wanted to ask her why, but I would not speak to her. It hurt so much though to be turned on by a `friend'. I would have cried, had I not been so totally furious.

My problems just kept getting bigger. First I was forced into a mating. Then I, somehow, managed to anger my new mate, and, as if that wasn't enough, I had to get taken on top of it all. My heart felt extremely heavy.

Suddenly the hair at the base of my neck stood on end, as a shiver ran down my spine. Damn.

*How are you my dear?* An entirely too smooth voice asked. I winced inwardly at the sound. It made me feel nauseous. The stupid half-breed came forward; he grabbed me by the chin, and forced me to make eye contact with him. I snarled, pulled my head back, and tried to bite him. He stepped back, and gave me a reproving look. Instincts.

* I take it you do not like your accommodations. However, my dear, you should not attempt to do such a thing again. Next time I will not be so lenient.* He smiled at me and I felt my stomach heave. Bastard. For once I was glad that I had not had much to eat that morning.

I gave him my best Sesshomaru glare, which was pretty good. His smile widened.

*I suggest that you merely do as I ask. There is no chance of escaping.* With that he turned to leave.

*Wait.* I called out. My voice was dry and scratchy but I know he heard and understood me. He turned back to me.

*I will do nothing you tell me. There is no hope of me ever submitting to you and I vow that before I am gone from this world I will watch as you die because you have ensured your own death.* With that I turned away from him, as far as my restraints would allow. He chuckled.

Fool, he would see.

If I did not kill him, Sess would; no one, and I mean no one, took what was his.

Kagura followed her master out of my room and the door was once again locked. I was not sure how long I stood there but it seemed to be forever.

The silence echoed off the walls and back to me in the small room. The jagged stone wall was digging into the flesh of my back. I ignored it, focusing on anything but the pain. The pain of my sore muscles, the pain of my aching limbs, and the pain of my bleeding heart.

It would take many months for this pain to go away. Betrayal was never a good thing. It was all together too hurtful.

So I stood there. In a dark, dank, tiny cell. In a castle that was, somewhere. And all I could do was hope.

Hope that, soon, my mate, Sesshomaru, would come and get me from this vile place.

I think it was mostly my inner demon that called out for him, for my mate. Which made perfect sense because Sess made me feel incredibly safe. Which was weird considering I did not even like the demon lord.

The irony in it all was that even though I claimed to hate him, I still missed him.

What was wrong with me?

I had no clue as to how long I had been in that hole, but I knew it was at least a few days.

I was slowly going mad though.

No food, no sleep, no water, no fresh air, no light, no sound, nothing.

I was completely and utterly alone and it scared the shit out of me.

I felt as though I would be in that cell forever.

As the days passed and still no one came.

I think that I would have welcomed a visit from Naraku even. Just to distract my mind.

My body was numb. It had been for a very large period of time.

All I had left was hope. Hope that someone would come.

And soon.

An unknown amount of time had passed.

I just had a feeling though that something would happen today.

My instincts were never wrong. My senses were on the highest alert my body would allow.

There was a very loud bang that echoed through the room as my door was obliterated. I closed my eyes to keep the debris of the decimated door out of them. I coughed at the dust the disturbance had roused from it*s rest. I blinked against the invading light.

All I could make out were blurry figures. My sense of smell though was totally alert.

I relaxed immediately as a familiar scent wafted to me. Inuyasha.

The half-demon quickly removed the shackles that held me in place. I fell. I scraped my knees on the rough floor but I did not care. I hadn*t been able to feel my legs for a long while.

This was the result of food deprivation, lack of water, and lack of sleep.

I whimpered slightly from my place on the floor. Inuyasha knelt down and turned my head so I was looking at him. His amber gaze met mine. His were full of worry.

*Are you okay?* He asked quietly. I was not capable of speaking. So I whuffed softly. *No.* Then I whimpered again.

He nodded. He was roughly pushed aside as Sesshomaru came into view. I would have jumped up and hugged him but I could barely lift my head.

Sess did not look at all happy. His clothes were clean of blood, but I could smell it on him. A number of unknown demons had met a very horrible end.

He bent down and scooped me up in his arms. I felt better immediately. I was safe now. I whimpered and snuggled closer to his body. I inhaled his scent and relaxed into his arms. I would have done more but was not able.

He walked slowly down the halls and out of the loathsome castle.

Now that I was safe and need not worry. I let myself sleep as I cuddled closer to my Sesshomaru.

Before I let my mind slide into the realm of sleep, I thanked every God I had ever heard of for Sesshomaru. And Inuyasha.
