(Drip. Drop. Drip. Drop…)

The reverberation was becoming a annoying sound that seemed not to stop inside of the murky, dungeon that possesses hardly any light besides the cracks in the walls. A figure in a corner sat with only it’s yellow eyes glowing unsympathetically. This nose is getting on my nerves, and this smell… it could make even a demon sick. The figure sneered rapidly. I’ve got to get out of this, dump.

“Come on you scruffy mutt.” The dungeon door quickly swung open as a brute of some kind of man-demon stood with what looks as thought a whip slung across his shoulder as leather straps cuffed his wrists and long black kimono pants swayed deeply in the wind of the dungeon. The smell of rotten blood flew quickly past the figure as it began to stand up, while the smell began turning it’s stomach in an ill manner.

As chain’s clashed together as the figure slowly walked towards the dungeon’s gate that was not yet lifted for him to make his way out a glance of what look likes silver hair swayed out of the center of the bars. “Feh. Looks who’s talking about being scruffy.” The figure announced harshly with a toothy smile spread across his face that was unnoticeable to a humans eyes but a demon, far more different. The bars lifted to the ceiling allowing him to finally be able to walk out towards the light so the guard, or so if that’s what you wish to call him, could look at him.

Slowly walking out in the open where the light danced, the figure stood in the light. A male demon. With long, radiant silver hair and ears of what looks like a dogs, the boy smirked. “So, this is what it’s like to finally get out of this, hole.” He exclaimed as his eyes slanted down in the light.

The man growled as he grabbed a hold of boys hair, “Lord Naraku wishes to see you upon his presences.”

The boy flinched his eyes, as pain shot all over to the top of his head, “Well I don’t know what or who this Naraku guy is, but if he wishes for me to see him, then why doesn’t he make his own way down this damn dungeon where he stuck me at in the first place and talk to me?” He grimaced as the hand grew tighter around his hair as he spoken. I don’t know what this Naraku guy want from me, but if he’s got henchmen’s like this buffoon, then I don’t know if I will be able to escape.

“Listen, if the lord wishes upon your presences then you best go. You should be happy he’s not having your body for dinner. I see nothing of the kind for what he wants you for. For you are only a half demon. A weakling.”

“Why I outta-”

The large man slammed the boy against the chambers wall, as the sound of cracking from the bricks filled the room, “If you wish to fight with me, I have no problem with that. I will rip your head off and feed it to the mutts that are looking for a good dinner tonight.” The boy squirmed his face up and down the wall. He knew that was the hardest that man could throw him, and if he wanted too, he could have had his head all the way through the wall of the chamber.

“THAT’S ENOUGH!” A snarling voice from behind the boy and the man exclaimed as he slowly walked down the steps, with two guards on either side of him. The sound of gold clanged together in a erythematic way. The smell of the finest, most richest smell entered the chamber. The lengthy man in the center wore the finest garments of red, blue and a flash gold. His dreadlock black hair swayed back and forth as he walked.

The man quickly let go of the boys hair as he dropped down to his knees. For he has never seen the Nobel one, that this was the first time, and looks as though that it could be the last. “Sir Naraku.” The man muttered out, starring blankly into space, as his mouth was open slightly in shock.

The boy dropped down to the ground, face first with his eyes closed. A small groggy groan escaped the tip of his lips as he took both of his hands that was tied together with some kind of spirit chain and with the back of his hands he slowly rubbed the top of his head where the man yanked furiously. That damn bastard almost ripped my hair out. The boy growled, but whimpered from the pain.

“What is the meaning of this Jatsu?” He directed the question to the guard who began to grow pastel kneeling there. His mouth could not answer the question for his mouth grew dry and his heart beat fast against his chest as if it was in some type of race. “ANSWER ME!”

The man took a gulp as he buried his head into his lap, “Sir, he was giving me trouble and I-I-”

“So you figured that you would take it upon yourself and straighten the situation out am I correct?” Naraku asked with a mono-tone voice while his red eyes glared down at one of his trustworthy henchmen’s. Jatsu only nodded in his lap like a sickened, whip pup. Naraku’s facial expression quickly changed as a frown formed on his lips, “I said I wanted him up stairs to see me, did I not Jatsu? I said not to kill him, nor listen to him, and what did you do? Disobey my order.” A small whimper escaped Jitsu’s lips. Naraku slowly went on his knees and brought his henchmen’s face up to met his own, “You know what your punishment is Jitsu.”

The boy’s face quickly went green as sweat begun to flow from his forehead. Frightened in so many ways. His body trembled as the red eyes of Naraku’s blazed deeply down at him, “No master, please anything but that.” Jitsu exclaimed feeling sickened in the inside, as if poison began to fill his body. “Anything but that. I beg of you.”

The silver hair boy watched as he finally gotten to his own two feet again and arched an eyebrow. Man, with one saying that buffoon is trembling. I wonder what could be so terrible to make him so frighten. The boy thought as a tingling feeling from the top of his head pounded hard on his skull, but then again, he does need a lesson or two. Considering I couldn’t defend for myself. Stupid chains. I swear when I find the stupid son of a bitch you placed these chain on me I’ll have his head!

“Ahem.” Naraku cleared his throat as he held his hand up to his mouth as he peered from the top of his eyelids, “Let me apologize Inuyasha. My name is Naraku.” He bowed slowly, not keeping his eyes off of the boy he calls Inuyasah, “So the legend stands true, you do exist.”

Inuyasha growled, as a toothy smirk spread across his face, “Feh. What’s it matter to you?” He asked looking at the two guards that stood behind him with their hands close to their swords and their pure red eyes not leaving the site of Inuyasha. He grimaced at the site. Naraku snapped his finger as the two guards quickly appeared to Inuyasha’s side and grasped a hold of either arm of him. “What? What the hell?!” Inuyasha struggled but had no way from getting away from the grasp of the two men’s grasp.

“Come Inuyasha, we have much matters to speak of.” Naraku exclaimed as he slowly made his way to the first step and turned to look at the half-demon, “You do wish to still become full-demon do you not?” With that comment lingering in the air, Inuyasha paused for a moment. His nose curled up, as he squinted his eyes on Naraku’s back. Something seemed wrong, something seemed very wrong. “Come guards. We have no time to waste.” Naraku announced slowly making his way up the steps.

Inuyasha blinked hesitantly, “Hey how about you two idiots let me go and we can all get out of this hell-hole of a place. What do you say?” Without word the two men pushed Inuyasha forward. “Hey, hey! Watch it will you? Geez, you could have just said no or something.” Inuyasha growled. None of these guys will give. I might as well just go and see what this Naraku guy wants. Inuyasha thought as he slowly followed behind.

OoO

As the guards thrown Inuyasha to the ground and the doors closed behind Inuyasha slowly gotten back on his feet and looked at the two men who stood in the path of the doorway. “You could have been a bit nicer about it. And couldn’t you take these damn chains off of me?” He exclaimed as he showed where dried blood from his wrist lied from the chains that rubbed against his wrists.

“Take them off.” Naraku spoken as he was sitting in a large chair with women surrounding him, with giggles exceeding from their mouths and tight clothing pressing against their bodies showing their female structure. Two of the females slowly walked up to him with a dancing rhythm in their footsteps as they swarmed around him. Their hands grabbed his wrists as a glowing from the chains swarmed around his hands.

“Huh?” Inuyasha’s eyes grown wide with curiosity, “What’s going on?” He asked as the glowing of a pink grew larger as the girls hands still clasped around his wrist.

“I see, my dear wife has placed the curse on you.” Naraku smirked as on of the young maidens opened the palm of her hand, and closed it as the chains had broken. Inuyasha looked up at her. Her eyes, lifeless and hair dull. She seemed so fake, as if she has no soul, no feeling whatsoever. “Ah, so you have noticed that my dear maiden there has no heart. Easy to be noticed by a humans eye.”

Inuyasha’s eyes glanced at Naraku, “Who or what could do such mean deeds?” He asked as the girl didn’t not dance gracefully, for she only walked up towards Naraku and took a seat on his chair arm. She stared blankly at the dog-demon.

Naraku smirked as he gotten to his feet, “That should not matter Inuyasha. So tell me, do you wish to be a full demon, do you not?” His words seemed poetic as he made his way over a large window as he stared out of it.

“What’s it matter to you?” Inuyasha asked in a snarling voice as his eyes danced around the room, looking for the best place to be able to flee.

Naraku waved his hand in the air as everyone disappeared, quickly, almost magically. “I can make your wish come true. If, you wish it to be.” Inuyasha’s nose twitched violently, sensing that something was up, which could not be good.

“But,” Inuyasha exclaimed as he was about to walk but found that the chains that was wrapped around his legs still lingered behind him, making him walk slower. “there’s something you want me to do in return am I right?”

“So you can sense that. Understandable for you to have that feeling about me. Considering that I did have you captured and my poor dear wife had to place those, those chains on your wrist and ankles. But Inuyasha, listen to me when I speak. I will make you a full demon, you’ll be all powerful, your name will live on for many legends. No one will be able to touch you, you’ll be everything you always wanted to be.” Naraku watched in the corner of his eye how Inuyasha yearn for being a full demon. Naraku smirked. He could feel the temptation of the beast grow eagerly within every minute he talked about become a full-fledge demon.

“Do you wish to live up to your father’s expectations Inuyasha? Do you wish to hold the power that your own brother holds?” Inuyasha’s ears began to twitch to hear the sound of brother. His brother, the one that is only his half brother, the one that is full demon. His nose snarled up in hatred. He hated when people knew his brother.

A snarling growl escaped the tip of Inuyasha’s vocals. Naraku held back the temptation of knowing that he was getting to Inuyasha, and if he showed excitement then that would only mean that Inuyasha would grow weary to what his plan is. “Just imagine Inuyasha. The great power you will possess if you stick with me. Think of all the wonderful luxurious items you will possess. Feel the power Inuyasha feel the power that lurks in your body.”

Inuyasha stood their, with his eyes blank as he could see himself, his own body structure in front of him as a full demon. His eyes red, his nails long with the blood of those who might have betrayed him in the past. His teeth, his fangs larger and more noticeable with the stain of blood. He could see the power that he, he himself could possess if he does what Naraku wants him too. But, for what cost? “What is it that you want from me Naraku?” Inuyasha quickly snapped out of his transaction as he looked over at the man who placed his hands behind him.

“I only ask for you to bring me a girl, a girl in which is the reincarnation of my diseased wife, who passed away months ago. “ Naraku sighed, trying to almost look as though he was in some state of hurt. “I only ask to have this girl, for she resembles my humble wife.”

Inuyasha smirked, “Is that all you want out of me Naraku?” He asked as he quickly glanced down and noticed that now the chains that was once possessed on his legs has shattered off, but how? For the answer was unknown, “Then what about this wife of yours that placed these damn chains on me huh?” Inuyasha exclaimed glaring at the chains on the floor as they moved slightly. It was as though they seemed to be still possessed with some type of curse.

“She is one of many of my wives Inuyasha. See, a man like myself can not go without having a lustful maiden at his side, and half of these demons are controlled by me.” Naraku held his hands out as the women clearly made their way to his side, as they all wrapped their arms around his body, as if they where hungry of some sort.

Searching around the room, as women began to dance around he murmured, “Are you saying that these women are you seduction toys?” He’s words shot out of his mouth as if he did not care. He thought of how gross and uncalled for, for Naraku to be using a women’s body for a sexual appetite.

“Be not so afraid Inuyasha, for these women, they are only a illusion, and a solid.”

“And what the hell does that mean?!” Inuyasha barked clutching a fist in the palm of his hand as he watched as the girls pressed their bodies upon the mans as groans deplored from their lips as their hands searched frantically on the mans surface. His clothing moved as their hands moved.

“It means, they have no soul. They either have been dead for thousands of years, and are brought back to the living without a soul, or they have asked to be a servant of mine. For they might owe me this great deed.” He announced as he clapped his hand and the girls made their way over to Inuyasha.

Jumping high above he landed on one of the beams that held the mansion up. “I don’t think so Naraku. Listen, I don’t know what kind of game your playing but I believe that you’ve got more than what meets the eye in the sick and twisted mind of yours.”

“Tsk, tsk Inuyasha. I only ask for you to spare that girl that I want and bring her into my chambers.” Naraku pouted, as he looked up at the boy crouching his own hind legs and making his way quickly up on the beam. “You think I am not but a mere human? Think again.” He exclaimed as his fingers dug deep within the beam he land on. His eyes glowed a bright red as he snarled, “You think you can fight me and win? You might want to think again. See the curse you possess in your body in the slavery curse. In which you can only be told what to do by one girl, and one girl only. When you find that girl, in which will be in no time, you will not to be able to ever escape. Do you understand Inuyasha?” Naraku hissed as his body began to transform into something, something Inuyasha could not make out.

“Yeah I understand alright.” Inuyasha snarled, “That your as full as shit as the next guy is.” He grasped his finger nails deep within the beam, pushing off of the beam and made his way up to the next one up. “You think you scare me Naraku? You think that you can tell me what to do?” His words rolled off of his lips as his fingers began to crackle as he moved them, “I should slice you in half!” He shouted, watching the shape shifting man transform into himself! Inuyasha’s eyes widen.

Naraku laughed as his voice and the voice of Inuyasha’s mixed in the body spoken, “You think you half-breed will be able to defeat the invincible Naraku?” His body quickly shot up to the next beam up as he quickly jumped beam to beam, side to side of Inuyasha. He couldn’t tell where he was, where to swing. “You think that a half-breed like yourself will be able to establish the defeat of me? Well? DO YOU?!” The sound of the voice sent chills up Inuyasha’s spin.

“Why don’t you stop and fight like the half demon you are.” Inuyasha growled, “Maybe we can settle our difference right here, right now.” With that comment a slash of nails scrapping on either side of Inuyasha sent a shock of pain through his body but his body only turned around, trying to follow the figure as it moved fast.

With Inuyasha’s back turned a hand, his hand pressed inside of his flesh, making his eyes wide as he cried out in pain. “What’s the matter Inuyasha? Have you found your match?” As the hand slithered through more of the thickness of body.

“Never.” Inuyasha clinched, trying to hold back the pain as the hand went through the other side of his body and stuck out of his chest.

“Let me, become one with you.” Naraku whispered in Inuyasha’s ear. Inuyasha’s eyes widen as he could hear two heart beats closing in on him. He could hear the voice of Naraku’s in his own mind, as he could feel his body trying to reject the blood, the blood of Naraku’s in his own. “Let us be a whole demon together Inuyasha. We will be unstoppable. Together.”

Inuyasha shook his head, trying to reject all possibilities of Naraku entering his body. That was not the way he wanted to become a full demon, or any demon at all. “Stop it.” Inuyasha gritted as the blood in his body boiled in his body. “STOP IT!” he yelled out as a roaring sound exceed the half-demons sound as he took his right hand and grasped a hold of Naraku’s left and a grin spread across Inuyasha face.

Naraku gasped in surprise. How did he? Naraku thought as he felt Inuyasha’s hand tightened down on Naraku’s wrist as crackling sounds from his bones filled the brisk air the blazed inside the chamber of Naraku’s. A growl escaped Naraku’s mouth. “You think that getting rid of me will get rid of that curse you possess? Feh. Think again Inuyasha. The only one that can rid of that pest of a curse is a women, and that will be hard for you to do. Considering your only a half-demon. No full demon women will even want to touch the likings of you.”

Growling Inuyasha mumbled, “Tell me Naraku, how do I break this curse? And if it’s Slavery then it must not be that bad.”

Naraku smirked as Inuyasha pulled him out of himself as he dangled the body in the air, waiting for an explanation before dropping the man miles down. “Slavery for a female, but death for a demon women placed upon you. The curse is something you cannot break.”

“Cannot break?! You just told me-”

“If you wish for the curse to be broken you have to be sold at the auction for slavery and there someone will find some deed for you, either cleaning, farm, whatever they may have in stored for you. But then thing is, you must fall in love.”

“Feh, fall in love? That’s the last thing I will do.” Inuyasha smirked as he crouched on his hind legs as stared deep within the demons eyes. “You think I will find love? You have to be kidding me. And what about this girl? What does she have to do with anything? This one that you said is like your wife and that you would like for me to get her?”

Naraku smirked, “Before dying Kikyo asked for me to be-wed another women. A women that would be suitable for me. The other day, when I was out, I found a young girl, look just like my beloved goddess. I yearn for her.”

“What does that have to do with me?” Inuyasha asked gazing deep into the eyes of the elder man. “Nothing, but if you be able to fall in love and bring the girl back for me, your curse will be lifted and you can be a full demon that you wish.”

“And if I do not?”

Naraku smirked, “Then I guess you will die if you do not break the curse. For it’s not only the curse of slavery it’s where when it’s a gift or a women of some kind buys you, you are her slave, and that you will not be able to leave her side for eternity. The women you do not bring to me, then I guess you will not be the full demon you wish to become.”

Throwing the half demon that looked like himself onto the beam Inuyasha crossed his arms in front of him, “And if I do not wish to be a full demon?”

“That is your priority then. For I have no say in the matter of that.” Naraku exclaimed as he began to transform back into his original self.

Inuyasha’s nose twitched, “This girl, she’s not an ordinary girl is she?”

Naraku chuckled, “Why ask so many questions Inuyasha? Come and lets get you ready to be sold.”

With that, guards from either side of him formed and grasped a hold of his arms. Struggling, trying to get away from the men he knocked the men off of them and jumped from the nearest beam that was located next to the window, “Sorry Naraku, but I don’t believe that what you say is true. So if you’ll excuse me, I will be going.” He exclaimed as he jumped out of the open window and into a nearby tree.

Naraku smirked. You will be back Inuyasha. You will be back.

OoO

Jumping from tree to tree, the birds cried out, as they tried making their way out of the trees that Inuyasha jumped from. Who does that guy think he is? Thinking that his words can scare me. I bet that women didn’t put no curse on me. If she did, what harm could it give me anyway? Inuyasha thought as he stopped short after he looked down at the people who swarmed the town.

“Souta, where do you think your going?” A girl from below had quickly ran as her dark bluish black hair swayed in the wind. Her skin white as snow, as she stopped to catch her breath.

“I swear sis. I seen something jump from tree to tree?” The boy named Souta exclaimed looking up at each tree he passed by.

“Souta I think your dreaming.” The girl announced as she stood straight up, as the sun brushed it’s rays against her face. Inuyasha watched her for a split moment.

Souta sighed, “I’m not lying Kagome. I swear I saw something jump in these trees and has silver looking hair.” The boy announced looking back and forth, tree to tree as his eyes came upon Inuyasha’s. Staring and not being able to say a single word, he pointed as dogs around them began to bark.

“What is it Souta?” Kagome asked brushing her hair with her hand out of her face as he mumbled something but she could not understand nor hear what he just said, “Will you all SIT!?” With that they all went silent, as Inuyasha was about to make his break for it but had fallen out of the tree where Souta was point at.

Kagome blinked hesitantly. Not sure what to make of this. “Who-Who are you?” Kagome pointed at Inuyasha as he slowly gotten off of the grown as a glowing necklace brightly gave off it’s radiant rays.

“What the-” Clutching a hold of the necklace that wrapped around his neck he tried pushing up on it, to see if it would go over his head. Not budging, not one bit. “What the hell is this?!” Inuyasha yelled as the necklace would not come off. From above his head.

Souta and Kagome sat there watching nervously at the half-demon. “What, who-who are you?” Souta asked as he slowly made his way towards Inuyasha grasping a hold of the demon’s ear and yanked. “Are these real.”

“Ow, Ow, Ow…” Inuyasha exclaimed moving forward as the boy yanked his ears, “let go, let go, LET GO!” Inuyasha cried as the boy quickly released his ears and blinked at him.

“Souta, stand behind me.” Kagome exclaimed as she moved in front of her brother in defense of his safety. “What, or who are you?” She asked as she watched the half-demon.

Inuyasha smirked as he quickly sat up on his hind legs and his eyes danced around as those in the town stared at him. As he quickly grabbed a hold of Souta and Kagome by their waist he muttered, “Lets go.” With that he jumped high in the air as Kagome began scream at the top of her lungs.

“Let go of me.” She squirmed violently, not paying any attention on how high she was or even that if Inuyasha wanted, he could drop her.

Inuyasha grumbled, “Listen, if you want I can drop you miles down. But if you’ll just hold tight, you’ll be on ground in no time. Understand me you stupid Wench?”

“Wench?! What right do you have calling me a wench?” Kagome growled, looking up at the man how clasped tightly a hold of her waist. As wind brushed against her face and moved the strands of black hair from her face. Her cloak that she wears, has the fine of red silky texture, as golden jewels glistered off of it. “If it’s money you want take it. I don’t care. Just leave me and my little brother alone.” She announced as she squirms still in the grasp the Inuyasha’s arm.

Inuyasha’s feet finally touched ground and let go of the two in his arms, “Listen, I didn’t mean to do that but-”

“What right do you have doing that to me and my little brother you, you, you…”She paused looking Inuyasha up and down trying to figure him out. If there was any possible way. “You weird, dog man!”

“Dog man?” Inuyasha blinked hesitantly, “What the hell does that mean?!” He asked with a growl in his voice.

“Do you always act this way?” Kagome asked placing her hands on her hips as she gazed up at the sun that began to disappear in the sky by the moving dark clouds.

Inuyasha didn’t know what to say. He felt speechless. “Do I always act like this? Listen you stupid wench-”

“My name is Kagome, and what right do you have calling me a wench? I have you know-”

“I have you know… my ass. Do you think I care about your background? Listen.” he grasped a hold of the girl’s neck as a scarce looked exceeded her face. “I don’t know what just happened back there but whatever you just said or done, has some impact on me.” Not squeezing or placing any pressure on the girls neck she scrunched up her nose and squinted her eyebrows.

“Listen the only think I said was SIT!” With that Inuyasha had fallen back down to the ground with a loud thud. A slight groggy groan escaped his mouth.

“Will you stop that?!” Inuyasha said trying to get up off the ground, as his back cracked in various spots.

I see now. Every time I say ‘sit’ it triggers him. Well in that case. “Sit Boy.” She yelled out as Inuyasha had fallen face first on the ground, “Sit boy. Sit boy. Sit boy.”

“Will you STOP?!” Inuyasha pleaded with a growl, “If you keep it up I will have no mercy whatsoever to tie you to the closes tree nearby.” Inuyasha exclaimed as he tried getting up off the ground. Now I see that stupid curse Naraku had made mention of. Damn that women of his to hell. He thought gritting his teeth as they made a sharp noise.

Kagome placed her hands behind her, “Why should I? If your that easy then why didn’t I think of that before hand?” She exclaimed moving back and forth on the heel of her feet with her eyes closed.

“You just had to make that sound so wrong.” Inuyasha muttered. “Listen, I’ll just leave you alone. Obviously you don’t like me, and I don’t like you. So scram will ya you stupid girl?” He shook a fist violently at Kagome with an angry look upon his face.

“How can I if I don’t know where ‘here’ is?!” She spat at as she felt a tap on the shoulder from behind. “Not now Souta.” She announced.

“You ignorant wench of a girl.”

“Sis.”

“What?” Kagome yelled turning around as a gasped escaped the tip of her lips as her earrings that she wore moved quickly with almost the sound of a whim-chime. With a loud scream Kagome placed her hands to cover her face in defense…

TBC…

Authors note: (Sweeps sweat drops away from forehead) Okay so that’s my small prologue. (Sighs) It’s not really the way I wanted it to be. But for the time… I think it’ll have to do.
