Authors Note: ::runs in out of breath:: Hey yalls, I'm sorry about not updating quicker. Grandparents came over then we had to go on a family outing…::sighs:: I was planning on updating this chapter sooner rather than later, I did leave off in a pretty bad place last time, sorry about that. Heh…::hears shouts coming towards her:: That would be my friends who are still angry with the last chapter. Review responses are below, ja! ::runs off stage::

EclipseOfThree: No, you're not kidding yourself. Things will get better, eventually.

Tsuki Yume: Omigod! I hope I didn't make you cry! No, this has a happy ending…somewhat. I think it's a happy ending at least. And yes, the their child does help. And I'm sorry if it seems a bit OOC, it won't be so bad soon, I hope.

Silver-Blue-eyes: Her miko powers come into play in this chapter.

Legnalos: No, she's not dying. It's not her time yet.

rured: Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm not very good at writing summaries. You're welcome to write one you think would sound better if you wish and I'll use it.

Am I dead yet? I opened my eyes and looked and the straw I was sleeping on. I carefully pulled myself off the floor to lie completely on the "bed". I'm afraid to look at the wounds. Though, I suppose a good thing is that since I'm still alive Saiyako missed any vital organs when she impaled me. Hopefully she missed the baby too. God, if she hurt the baby…

I moved my hand down my body and felt the wounds that surly covered me, but I felt nothing. I blinked and sat up to take a closer look. My senses aren't failing me, all that's left are scars. I wonder how that happened? The doctor couldn't have come in, I'm still in a state of undress, and there's no gauze anywhere. Could it have been my miko powers?

Now that's a scary thought. Just think about it, I could have sneezed and ended up in Timbuktu! Sessh would just love that! First I get myself kidnapped, then tortured, then transport myself halfway around the world…I think. Is Timbuktu halfway around the world from here? Geography was never my subject.

I stood up and stretched. Wow…it doesn't hurt to stretch…hum…may be I have a knack for this healing thing after all. Wouldn't I though? I mean I am a doctor after all. I sighed and looked around the room. They had to have left some clothes for me, I mean come on! Do they really want to see my nasty body streaking about?

My eyes landed on a small pile of brown cloth on the corner of my "bed". I think I've struck gold. I picked up the cloth pieces and found them to be duplicates of the "clothes" I was wearing before. Oh joy, I get to dress as a slut again. I put on the "clothes" and walked to the door of my cell.

I have to figure a way out of here and in a hurry. I don't think I can last another one of those "talks" with Saiyako. The only question is how? My last idea didn't work…ha, that's an understatement. It's more like it backfired to the extreme. So how…? I could always risk it and use my powers.

So far I think that's my best shot. I sighed again and sat on the floor. So how am I going to go about this? Why type of spells should I use? How should I use them? And most importantly, how am I going to keep myself from sneezing while I do them? I was snapped out of my musings when something hit my door.

"Ugh! Is whore lady awake?" Oh my…whore lady? I suppose that's my nickname here, after all, this is Saiyako's. I stood and looked at the guard. It looked like one of those troll things from the Lord of the Rings movies.

"Y-yes, I'm awake."

"Good, eat." It opened the cell and placed a tray of food inside.

"Wait, I thought I wasn't suppose to eat for two days."

"Two days up, eat then Grog take to Lady Master." I picked up my chopsticks and began to eat. So I had been asleep for two days. That's just great. I sighed and finished my rice. I may have food, but it's slim to nothing. Rice and that's it. No water or anything. "Done?"

"Yes." I stood and it snatched the tray from my hands.

"No hit Grog like you hit Choto. Or else Grog smash." I don't doubt it. I looked at his muscles and gulped. Yep, all he had to do was flick me and I'd probably die.

"Well then Grog, shall we go?" I walked up to Grog and he grasped my wrists in his hand. I winced as he squeezed, yep, he could definably kill me with a flick of his wrist.

"Lady Master told Grog to bind whore lady's hands." He pulled out a pair of shackles with his free hand and fit them tightly on my wrists. Wonderful, I'm going to get the blood supply to my hands cut off and then I'll have to amputate them and I'll never run my fingers through Sessh's hair again! Or...they'll get all tingly and stuff. I'm hoping for the tingling scenario.

Grog dragged me out of my cell and began to take me upstairs. Okay, I don't think I'm going to the "poker room" as I have dubbed it, I never want to go back there again. I was led through the hall that I had tried to escape through before and down another flight of stairs. I gulped; maybe I really was going to the poker room. I don't wanna go!

I was so relieved when we walked out of the stairwell and were outside. Ah! The sun...how I've missed you in my long three days of captivity, even though I wasn't conscience for two of them. Saiyako was standing next two a large snow covered tree in the middle of a snow covered garden, I think. It was covered in snow after all. Very cold snow I might add, my bare toes can vouch for that. I think I'm beginning to feel frostbite set in.

"Ah, Kagome, how are you feeling today?"

"Is that a rhetorical question, or are you just stupid? How do you think I'm feeling? You impaled me with a red-hot poker, you psychopathic hermaphrodite?" Her eyes narrowed at me as she walked closer.

"I was really thinking of letting you have a day of relaxation out here today, but I think that's just too good for you."

"Freezing my bum off is too good for me? Wow...that's a new one. So what's the real reason you called me here?" She smirked and I could tell she had something evil up her sleeve.

"Grog, be a dear and bring out the girl." Grog bowed and left. The girl? What in the world is she talking about? Grog soon returned with a poor girl who looked about my age with blue-gray eyes and black hair. Saiyako pulled the girl closer to her and that's when I noticed she was wearing my kimono. My kimono that Sessh had specifically made for me after we mated, it's my wedding present in a sense. "This Kagome, is Chikago. Her village gladly handed her over to me so I could sacrifice her."

"What?"

"So you're going deft now I see."

"I'm not going deft you baboon, it's a statement showing shock and speechlessness, if you paid any attention to you teachers, which I highly doubt you did, you would know that." I got a slap across the face for that one, I deserved it though. I don't think prisoners are supposes to talk back like that.

"As I was saying, Chikago here is going to take your place." I raised an eyebrow and shook my head.

"I'm sure Sessh would never be able to tell the difference between us." I said as I rolled my eyes.

"You're right. He won't be able to when you're mangled." I gasped. She wouldn't...kill this innocent girl just to spite me, would she? Yes, she would.

"Y-you can't!"

"I had a feeling you would say that. You always have cared about other people more than yourself, which is why I've decided to kill her right in front of you before I dispose of her body in the Western Lands." She smirked and transformed into a giant gray wolf.

I have to admit, I'm scared. There's acid dripping from her mouth and sharp white fangs hanging out of it. That, and she's now about the size of two Empire State buildings on top of each other. She bent her head down and looked at me with her cold onyx eyes. She opened her mouth and bit down on the poor girl.

Chikago screamed in pain as the acid began to eat away at her flesh and Saiyako violently shook her head back and forth like a puppy with a sock in its mouth. I willed the tears in my eyes not to fall as her screams died down and the pure white snow beneath them was stained a red color. Just like that, Saiyako leapt away.

I fell to my knees, overwhelmed with sadness at what I had witnessed. How can anyone be so cruel to someone else? I'll never understand that. Grog pulled me to my feet and began walking me back inside. I don't want to go back in my cell, I have to find a way out now. I have to get to Sessh. If he finds that body before I find him, he really won't be able to tell the difference. "Grog?" He grunted and I took that as `please continue dear lady, I am listening.' Though, I don't think he'd use those words. "I'm not going back to my cell."

"Lady Master said whore lady is." I sighed and nodded my head. There's only one way out of here, and I'm going to have to have faith in myself.

"I'm sorry to hear that Grog, because I'd let go if I were you."

"You not fool Grog with your whore-ish tricks."

"Suite yourself." I focused my miko energy in my hand and began to burn him. Grog screamed and let go immediately.

"Lady Master no tell Grog whore lady was miko."

"Well, Lady master didn't know whore lady was miko. Now, I bid thee farewell!" I closed my eyes, focusing my energy again and willed myself out of there. I heard a pop and opened my eyes. Oh my...I was standing on top of the castle. It figures...well, on the plus side I didn't sneeze and end up in Timbuktu.

I ran across the roof and towards the edge near the forest. Now, if I can do this right I shouldn't die. I took a deep breath and tried to remember my grandfather's words as he taught me the next spell I was going to use. I stopped at the edge and relaxed. This spell is very complicated and it requires full concentration. With that, I closed my eyes and jumped.

I felt the wind wisp around me as I fell to the ground. I concentrated hard and envisioned myself slowing down and slowly floating to the ground below. I could see my feet gently touch the snow and opened my eyes. I sent a surge of ki around my body and I started to feel myself slowdown. My feet touched the ground and I sneezed.

Great! I have no idea what that just did, but I'm not going to wait here to find out. I just hope Sessh didn't turn pink in the middle of battle. Though I would enjoy the sight, I doubt others would, they wouldn't understand. I ran through the forest at a sprint. I weaved in and out of the trees and tried to dodge as many things as I could. I was able to hear footsteps behind me and I knew they had started to hunt me down. I can understand that. Once Saiyako gets back and finds I've escaped she'll have their heads on a platter, especially Grog's, which I think would be a gift to the world, lets just hope he hasn't procreated yet. Ewww....Who would want to procreate with Grog? Well, I guess he could always have raped someone...poor girl.

I jumped up on a low branch of a tree and began to climb up. Once I had gotten about mid tree I put on a concealing spell. I just realized, I know more spells than I thought I did. I don't know if this is a good or a bad thing though. A guard came up to my tree and I held my breath. Please don't find me, please don't find me, please don't find me.

It looked up into the branches and right at me, but it didn't see me, or so I believe. It `humped' and walked on to the next tree. I let go of my breath and snuggled up close to the tree's trunk. My eyes began to close, and I let them. My energy's drained and I need sleep. As long as this concealing spell stays on, they won't find me.

Lets just hope I can leave in the morning without being caught.
