For the Love of a Miko

Chapter 18: Torture???

When Kagome reached consiousness once more, she found that she was alone in the room. 'Great she thought; now I can try to escape and kill that a$$ hole.' She opened her eyes as best she could. One of her eyes were swolen shut, and her cheek still pulsed with pain from the slap earlier. This deffinately wasn't your run of the mill type feudal era palace. Suprisingly it reminded her alot of a european style castle. Put more accurately, a torture chamber. Seeing the iron maiden resting in a corner of the room did little to hide her unease.

'How the hell did he get his hands on one of those?' Kagome could only wander who's blood it was she saw coagulated on the sharp three inch hollow spikes that dorned the interior of the maiden.

'This won't be fun. Ok Kagome, think! How the hell are you gonna get yourself out of this mess? You can't use your demon powers, because they are fused with your miko. You could try your strength again, though it will more than likely proove futile. Last option is to wait till the bastard returns so you can figure out what the hell he wants, and try to find a way out then. Wait what the hell am I thinking!?! I already know what he wants! He's going to torture me until I give up the location of the Shikon- no- Tama! Like hell......but then again......those three inch spikes don't look too comfortable'

Kagome was pulled from her mussings when Naraku stepped into the room, followed closely by Kagura. Kagome couldn't help but notice the many puncture wounds covering the wind sorceress' body.

'So that's who's blood that is' Kagome couldn't help but feal pity for the detachment. What could she have done to anger the hanyo so much. That's when she noticed the book being carried by said hanyo. Her old world history textbook.

'So that's where it went.'

````````````````````````````````Flashback

"Inuyasha? Have you seen my World History book?"

"Feh! No. You should learn to keep up with your stupid junk!"

"Inuyasha......OSUWARI!"

THUNK

```````````````````````````````End Flashback

Kagome cringed. If he had that book then he was no doubt aware of other methods of torture. The book had a complete section on the torture devises used during the spanish inquisition alone, complete with pictures and instructions of use. No doubt, he planned on trying them all out on her. This thought only made her cringe more.

Naraku looked at her and gave her one of his famous machiavelian smirks. Upon first glance it didn't appear threatening, but beneath the facade, there was pitch black humor, and a promis of suffering.

"So, I see you recognize my new toy? I find this book truely fascinating, though some of the lands it speaks of are new to me. Tell me how it is you came in possesion of such a work?"

Kagome did not trust his pleasant conversation facade. If anything, it made her take her guard up a few notches higher. She decided to think about her answers before vocalizing them. She needed to stay alive long enough to find a way to get free so she could kill him. Unfortunately thinking about answeres was not one of her strongpoints.

"How did you come in possesion of my book?" 'Good one Kagome, answere with another question. 'Might as well have dug your grave yourself.'

"You did not answere my question."

"Neither did you." 'Stick foot in mouth!'

Within an instant Kagome had a very pissed Naraku at her throat trying desperately to keep from ripping out her windpipe.

"As much as I love playing games, you would do well to remember that this is one in which you can not win, and I advise you not to try." This entire sentence was forced through clenched teeth.

All Kagome could do was nod. She could not talk due to the fact that Naraku's claws still clung to her neck, restricting the flow of oxygen to her lungs. She gave an audible gasp as he released his hold on her and took a step back as if to inspect his handywork.

"If it wasn't for the information you posses; you would be dead now. Know it is not an end that I have had in mind, but will have no qualms in doing if you test me. I WILL know about the book, I WILL know about you, and I WILL know where it is that you have hidden the Shikon. If you do not talk, then I will have to use methods of extraction, and you will die afterwards. IF you cooperate, I may let you live through this experience."

This little speech left the young demon-miko at a loss for words. Never had anyone been so blunt with her. Now that all the cards were on the table, she shifted through them to try to find the one that best fit into a route of escape.

BINGO!!!
