Chapter One:

 

 

Her emerald eyes glowed in the dark watching for any movement from the one looking for her and sighed. She hadn't seen the beast since yesterday when she first escaped her hellish prison. Her black cat ears twitched in annoyment and her black tail curled around her body as her eyes narrowed. Something dangerous was coming up the path behind her and it wasn't good for the fire neko. She had no weapons upon her, but her claws and her energy was to low to summon any decent fire attacks.

This was truly not going well at all and she had a feeling it was going to get worse very quickly. Only if they hadn't taken her whip at the beginning she would be able to even the odds against the creep. She growled slightly as the figure slowly came into view and her tail twitched and her claws flexed angrily. “I know you're here, Kitten. Why don't you come out so we can go home and play?” The creature's amber eyes searched the forest swiftly as he stopped only feet away from her hiding spot.

Trembling went through her body as she looked for a fast escape route. She had been trapped in that place with him for too long and now she was free. Which she hoped to stay that way if she could. It had been so long since she had smelled fresh air or even been outside and she had to find someone. That someone could protect her from the one pursing her; someone that had promised to protect her always. If they even remembered her.

“Found you, Kitten.” She didn't even have time to scream before he had grabbed a hold of her. He threw her to the ground roughly and stripped her top off, pushing her face first into the dirt. Sitting on her legs, he began to hit her. She realized with a start that it was her own whip he was hitting her with. The blows rained hard and fast as she muffled her cries into the ground. He continued to hit her until blood lines covered her back and she had gone unconscious from the beating.

Licking the wounds for the taste of her blood only made the wounds worse. “Delicious. She tastes so good. So foolish for trying to get away though, like any one could get away from me, Lord Jakco.” He picked her up with one arm and carried the poor girl back the way she came until they ended up back at his home. It was tall and menacing surrounded in a dark fog that was quite unnatural. The windows and outside was covered dirt and grime, but was nothing compared to the inside of the place. Furniture was covered in plastic and dust covered the walls and floors.

He took her deep down into the bottom of the place that kept getting colder as it went until they reached the lowest level of the house. The passageway opened into one big room and in the corner was a single bed with chains which he laid her on the bed and then chained her to it. “I didn't want you down here, Kitten, but you proven that you can not behave upstairs in my room. So this will be your new room.” She still hadn't come to yet and didn't even hear his last comments before he went upstairs. Her mind was lost in better times.

It was some time before the young woman woke up to find herself back in the situation she had tried so hard to leave. Discovering that this time her hands were chained to the bed she began to sob. Her shoulder length black hair with white tips fell into her eyes as she bit her lip in frustration. She had tried so hard to get away from here and it was all for nothing or so she thought. Her eyes glazed over as she thought of other times, they weren't actually better, but they were more bearable because of him.

 

“One, two, three, four, five. Five skips. Beat that.” Emerald eyes smiled as the girl teased her companion. He frowned and shook his head before skipping the rock. It went a lot farer than hers. For a moment they had some time alone and it was welcome. When the others were around they had to pretend to hate each other or they would be separated. “Hey! Yours went farer than mine. Teach me, teach me!”

“Calm down you. I'll teach you everything I know in time. Though you have to be patient, silly girl.” His dark hair seemed to defy gravity and had a white starburst in the front. When she pouted his crimson eyes twinkled in merit at his friend's predicament. And he did; he taught her everything he learned from fighting to stealing thing to live. It was all done in secret from the rest of the group.

“Hiei, they are gone for the moment.” The neko came toward her friend who was sitting by the creek near their camp. With a swift movement she pushed the fire demon straight into the water and when he turned around to climb out he pulled her with him. She started giggling as he pulled himself out and then her.

“Crazy cat,” He said shaking himself, to get water off and then dried himself quickly as she did the same. Noises were heard from the camp. “Damn it.”

Her eyes got real big. “They're back already.” She shivered in fear, if any one find out about their friendship.

“I'll always protect you. Don't you ever forget that.” The rest of the camp didn't find out that day, but as everyone knows luck eventually runs out. Theirs ran out one rainy day. The group had caught the two hanging out in a tree not far from camp. They were supposed to be gone an hour, but returned in fifteen minutes. They tied her up and threw her into a nearby river while making him watch while he was tied up himself. She barely made it out and she had never been able to find him again.

 

The door opened and the man came back in bringing her out of her memories. “You're awake, Kitten. Good, time for your true punishment for trying to get away.” Her emerald eyes widened as she tried to move away from him only to have the chains tighten more around her wrists. He brought the whip down on her again this time across her with her shirt on. The whip cut through the shirt causing a bloody trail across her chest.

He hit her across the breasts again and again making small cries come from her lips even when she tried to hold them back. Her shirt got embedded in the cuts as the blows rained down on her. After awhile the pain got so bad that she blanked it out by going into her own little world. This only made him mad and hit her worse bringing her back with a shriek. Only then was he satisfied enough to leave her alone.

Laying the whip on her stomach he disappeared upstairs for the time being. She knew he would be back later to punish her something. He was always punishing her for something and most of the time it had nothing to do with her. Her attempts at getting free failed and her hope at Hiei finding her was gone. Nothing to do now, but wait for death to come for her. So she went to sleep hoping that next time he would kill her.

Days went by and he hadn't even taken the time to feed her and she was starving, but that wasn't anything unusually here.
