And please remember to review!

---------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------

Rin received no sleep that night and had little more to do than imagine what would happen when the demon came for her. Her fear filled every part of her being, but she knew she could not show it. When she was a child she had gone mute from watching bandits kill her family; even when she was beaten by the village she never made a sound, she could do it again. She had to. The pain in her left arm was excruciating and the fact that she had been tied with her arms behind her only made it worse. She used that pain to teach herself how to keep a calm appearance regardless of torture, for she knew more was to come.

Just before sunrise, when the rest of the camp was asleep and Rin’s own body was wearing down from exhaustion, a woman carrying a small bucket approached her. She knelt down in front of Rin and lifted a ladle full of water from the bucket. Until she saw the water Rin had managed to forget how thirsty she was, but now she could barely stand the feeling. The woman brought the ladle to Rin’s mouth and let her drink. She did this several times, taking care that not a drop was wasted.

"If they find out I did this they will kill me," the woman said as she carefully wiped Rin’s face clean of any evidence.

"Why are you helping me then?"

"You aren’t the first to suffer like this. I remember what is it like to be thirsty and have no water in sight. Once Akki-sama takes you I will not be able to help you at all. I at least wanted to help you for now."

"Thank you." Rin hesitated a moment and just as she was about to speak the woman stopped her.

"Please, you don’t want to know before it happens. All I can tell you is if you don’t scream he will lose interest much faster. That’s how I survived, he knocked me unconscious, but I didn’t die from it. He enjoys hearing the scream more than anything else." The woman stood up and quietly returned to one of the small tents nearby.

Don’t scream . . .everyone has their limits. How long will I last?

Rin slowly drifted into an uneasy sleep only to be awakened by numbingly cold water being dumped over her body. She shivered as the water soaked her kimono making the freezing cloth cling to her body. Above her Akki stood with a hungry expression on his face.

"Are you thirsty yet?" He tossed away the now empty bucket and took another from one of the bandits. "You haven’t had anything to eat or drink since yesterday, you must be very thirsty by now."

Rin failed to stop her body from shaking, so she just stared at him as calmly as she could. "Sesshoumaru-sama will kill you."

Akki’s brow narrowed. "I see I will have plenty of fun breaking you. But before we begin," he kneeled down and grabbed her jaw, opening her mouth and tilting her head back, "how about a drink?"

He tipped the bucket over her face and water streamed into her mouth. She couldn’t breathe as the liquid rushed down her throat choking her, and no matter how much she twisted her head she couldn’t get away from the flow. Just as she thought she was going to drown the water stopped coming and Akki released her from his grip.

Rin threw her head down and coughed up all she could get out of her lungs. She had never felt what it was like to drown before, and she didn’t want to again. She kept her head down till she was sure all of the terror was out of her face, then looked up at Akki with the coldest eyes she could manage.

Akki just laughed as she stared at him, then without warning his eye lit up and his laughter reached an unbelievable pitch. "Untie her! I thought of the perfect thing to do!" The bandits barely had time to cut the ropes binding Rin to the stake before Akki lifted her by her kimono and dragged her into the tent he had taken the woman to the night before.

Nothing had prepared Rin for what she saw inside that tent. The cloth was stained red from blood and the woman’s body had been butchered, pieces lay scattered about the edges of the tent. Bones littered the ground and Akki walked over then as if they were nothing more than twigs in his way. The smell was what affected Rin the most; the smell of blood and death infected her and clung to every inch of her clothing. There was no part of the small tent that didn’t reek of decay, and despite all her efforts the odor was more than Rin could bear. Her body heaved as it tried to expel what Rin didn’t have in her, only acid burned her throat.

Akki laughed and threw her to the ground waiting for her to stop convulsing, which to Rin’s annoyance took several minutes. She hated that she already showed such weakness, but it had been far too many years since she had been exposed to such a brutal scene as this. She remained on the ground a moment more to regain her composure.

"How are you feeling, my dear? A little sick to your stomach? Poor, poor child, you had better get used to the smell, you will be spending a lot of time in here."

Two days, just two more days and Sesshoumaru-sama will return. I have to survive two days.

Akki walked over to where she kneeled and forced her to look him in the face. His red eyes burned with anticipation. "I have been trying to think of the perfect way to start our time together, and I finally decided."

Akki pulled her kimono open revealing her shoulders and upper chest. His smile broadened, showing his fangs, as he looked down at her bare flesh. He lowered his mouth to the area where her neck met her shoulder and Rin heard a low growl just before he bit into her. Had he been able to see her face Akki would have been pleased by her reaction. Though she managed not to scream Rin had not fully prepared herself and her face gave away all the pain and fear she felt. As her muscles tensed Akki pressed harder into her shin causing blood to overflow her shoulder and pelt her fallen kimono, but Rin held what little control she still had and refused to scream.

Rin could hear a growl growing deep in Akki’s throat. He pulled his head up sharply, his teeth ripping through Rin’s flesh, still she remained silent. His face was twisted in anger and Rin’s blood dripped from his mouth onto her pale skin. "You will scream for me!" Akki ripped her kimono the rest of the way off, his claws tearing at her body in the process. He reached up to just below her collarbone and sliced at her chest, but Rin remained silent and she was beginning to gain more control over her facial reactions. The less emotion Rin showed the more anger Akki did.

"Scream, bitch!" He tore his claws across any part of her body not already covered in blood. Rin’s breath quickened as she used all her will not to react, but she was almost at her breaking point. Never before had she experienced so much pain, even before she met Sesshoumaru. Akki saw the change in her face and reveled in it. He slid his claws down her sides and dug them into her hips. She cringed but still controlled her voice.

Suddenly, Akki began laughing. He laughed and laughed the sound was beginning to drive Rin mad. He ripped his claws down her legs still laughing. Finally, Rin couldn’t stand his laugh anymore and she threw he arm up slapping him across the face. Silence immediately consumed the tent. All emotion left his face and an icy cold expression replaced them. "No one," he paused for a moment and let a low growl escape his throat, "no one has ever struck me and lived."

Rin smiled as best she could considering the pain. "You can’t kill me. Your dear niisan won’t let you." A part of her knew she shouldn’t mock him, but the rest of her knew it didn’t matter, either way she would suffer.

Akki stood up and slowly began to remove his clothing. Rin backed away from him looking around the room trying to find some way of defending herself. The only things she found were bones so she took a rather large one and held it in front of her like a sword. When Akki had finished undressing he walked towards her, with each step he crushed bones like the one she was holding.

"I was going to wait, till I heard you scream, but you have forced this on yourself." He dropped to his knees, straddling her, and pushing the bone she held against her own body knocking the wind out of her. He rammed her head against the ground and pushed one knee between her legs. She shook beneath him and the smile reappeared. "Perhaps I can get you to scream in pleasure, if you won’t scream in pain."

Rin pushed and fought against him but since he was a demon, and she only had one working arm, there was no way she could get out of his grasp. He ran fingers gently down her face and neck, across her shoulders and along her breasts. There his gentle touch turned painful as he thrust his claws into her and squeezed. Rin clenched her teeth stopping her scream, but closing her eyes did not stop the tears from coming. Then her eyes shot open when she felt him force himself into her.

What has he done? What is this? It hurts. It hurts so much. Sesshoumaru-sama, please help me! I can’t take anymore! It hurts! Please stop! It hurts!

"Stop!" Rin screamed with all her strength. "No! Stop! Help!" She knew this is what he wanted. She knew it as he laughed and she continued to scream. She had to scream for this wasn’t just physical pain she suffered from. Never before had she experienced this, and never had she thought it would be like this, pinned to the ground by a bloodthirsty demon. She screamed until her throat was raw and cried till her eyes were red, but Akki did not stop till Rin collapsed unable to shout or weep or think. Both her body and mind were beyond pain and understanding, they just existed in a surreal state.

Akki got up and dressed keeping an eye on Rin’s broken body lying on the ground. When he was finished he grabbed her by the hair and dragged her out of the tent. Though she was still naked her blood covered her body and gave a slight illusion of clothing. Akki threw her up against the stake and pulled her arms back tying them tightly, but he received no reaction from her.

The bandits watched as Akki tied Rin up but few were able to look at Rin, most kept their eyes on Akki. The boss came out and approached Akki. He took a good look at the glazed expression on Rin’s face before turning his attention to his brother.

"Otouto, I see you enjoyed yourself, though I was surprised you were so quiet with her."

Akki laughed. "Niisan, she refused to scream. I must say I have never met a woman who could hold out so long against me, but in the end they all break. You just have to find the right persuasion."

The boss turned away and headed back to his tent. "Otouto, do not toy with her anymore today. Remember, I want her alive when Sesshoumaru gets here."

"Niisan, I haven’t finished playing yet, I still have mor…"

"I said, leave her be tonight," the boss interrupted with a cold tone.

"Yes, niisan." The boss began walking but Akki spoke up again making him stop. "But I want to do one more thing."

"I said…"

Akki interrupted this time, "Cut her hair."

"Huh?"

"Her hair is still so pretty, it doesn’t fit her new appearance. Let me do that, and I will entertain myself with another woman for the rest of the day." The brother nodded and left.

Akki took out a small dagger and pushed Rin’s head forward like a doll’s. One fistful at a time he mutilated her once beautiful long, black hair. Pieces laid about her head at all lengths, making her look far closer to death than she had before. Still, Rin did not move, nor speak, nor resist in anyway. Rin was just there.
