Salvation and Damnation

Chapter One: Cold Blue Eyes

"He really laid into you tonight didn't he?" the old medicine woman asked as she cleaned the blood from between the little girl's thighs. "You shouldn't fight him… it won't get you anything but pain."

The little girl lay in a boneless heap on top of an old table, her short pale legs spread wide as the medicine woman began applying a stinging salve on her vagina. The pain had no affect on the girl's comatose state though. Normally sky blue eyes were dull as she stared at the ceiling. Her dark lustrous black hair was tangled and matted with blood. Pale skin that shone like moonlight, was littered with dark bruises of hands that treated such a gentle frame too roughly. The only sign of life was the soft rise and fall of her chest.

"Nika chan… at this rate you won't survive the year."

Nika opened her dry mouth and croaked out, "That's what you said last year baa chan."

The old white haired hag gave her a toothless grin as she closed the child's legs and pulled a sheet over her naked body. "I did didn't I? I'm glad I was wrong."

Nika blinked her eyes, their mischievous twinkle returning as she turned to look at her baa chan with an arrogant smirk. "Did you see what I did to him?"

Baa chan frowned at Nika and tugged a lock of the girl's long wavy ebony hair.

"Ouch! What was that for?!" Cried Nika as she sat up and began to rub her abused scalp.

"For breaking the master's nose, that's what it's for! What were you thinking running away from him like that! He owns you! He owns all of us; we have no right to refuse him anything! If we refuse, he kills us! I don't want my little Nika chan to die…" The old woman started to cry and pulled Nika into a tight embrace.

"Gomen ne Ba chan…" Nika hugged the old woman back. "I just… I just can't let him… I have to fight back. The day I stop fighting is the day he truly owns me." A deadly fire burned in the depths of Nika's eyes as they narrowed. "I refused to be owned… by anyone."

"Nika chan…"

"No Baa chan."

"Not even for me?"

Nika pulled away and looked her adopted grandmother in the eyes. "Gomen ne…"

Her grandmother wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled at Nika. "You always were stubborn as a mule…" Baa chan sniffed the air and made a face. "And twice as smelly!" she exclaimed as she pinched her nose. "Come on lass, off to the baths with you."

The mischievous twinkle returned as Nika gave an enthusiastic "HAI!" and bounced off the bed with the sheet wrapped around her small frame heading towards the old beat up cauldron that served as her bath tub.

Baa chan watched the not so innocent 11-year-old girl leave the room before kneeling down and clasping her hands for a prayer.

`Inari sama… I have not asked for much in life, and believe you me I do not have it. I am too old to be asking for my freedom from this forsaken palace but if you see it fit in your infinite wisdom to grant me one wish… please, get my little Nika chan out of here. Her eyes… they are so cold now. I fear for her young soul…'

The old woman stood slowly, her old bones complaining. She knew she was not long for this world… she just hoped her little Nika would be okay after she was gone.

"This is the layout of the palace." Youko Kurama spread out a large parchment on the table as he and the rest of his band discussed the best course of action for their intended target. "Don't let its appearance fool you, I've heard rumor that the lord of the palace has a chamber within his fortress filled to the ceiling with gold…"

"Come now Kurama!" called Kensho. "Since when do you believe in rumors?"

Kurama gave the bald red-skinned demon a dangerous smirk before reaching into his shirt and pulling out a long thick gold necklace embroided with sapphires. "Since I was gifted that by one of his more `talented' concubines."

Everyone stared in shock as Kurama tossed the necklace to Kensho who tested its weight. "Damn… this thing is worth a fortune!"

"No kidding dumbass." Everyone turned to Yomi as he came to stand beside Kurama. "You should know better than to question your superiors." The horned youkai turned his black eyes to the gold ones of his companion. "So any ideas?"

"As a matter of fact I have one. The lord of the castle Moru is holding a banquet tomorrow in honor of his son's victory over the armies of some other lord in the east. He's invited people from all over Makai and is hoping to impress them with entertainers. A certain band of gypsy entertainers became mysteriously ill earlier this week…"

Kurama gave an innocent little shrug as Yomi raised an eyebrow. "I swear it wasn't me! Anyhow, I think if we dress up and play the role of traveling entertainers, we can get into the heavily guarded palace completely undetected and cut through the servant's quarters to the vaults on the other side of the courtyard. After we reach the vault we can break in and take as much as we can carry."

"What if we get caught? I doubt this lord is stupid enough to let strangers wander around his palace."

Kurama gave Yomi a dazzling smile. "My little concubine friend will lend us some of the servants clothing so no one will question us."

Yomi smirked. "Flawless plan as usual Kurama. You're the leader for that very reason." He looked down at the map. "Alright let's do it!"

"I knew you'd see it my way."

"So what are you giving the concubine in return for her help?"

Kurama smirked. "The same thing I gave her when she gave me that necklace…"

Yomi laughed as he leaned over to whisper in Kurama's ear. "Don't forget to share this time…" He then left the room.

"Alright men get plenty of sleep! We leave at dawn tomorrow." Called Kurama as he followed Yomi.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Baa chan dressed the ever-fidgety Nika in the outlandish outfit of a concubine. Her little bare feet were dressed with rings of silver on her toes and a small chain connecting to the silver anklet. Her large billowy near transparent pants were made of fine silk and dyed a dark blue black. A matching strip of silk was tied around where her breasts were barely beginning to develop. Nika's long wavy black hair was pulled up into a high ponytail and weaved with silver beads. Her arms had many matching bracelets all the way up to her biceps.

"Baa chan I don't want to go!" pouted the stubborn child.

"It was the master's order you attend. You know how his son likes you."

"All the more reason for me not to go!"

"Nika don't you even think about running off again!"

"But Baa chan!"

"Nika…" interrupted her grandmother. "Please… just this once! If someone there sees you and likes you, maybe they'll buy you from the master and you can leave this place."

Nika frowned. "I'll still be a slave…"

"But perhaps someone will take pity on you for your age and not use you as the master uses you…"

Nika's brow furrowed in thought. She might have a better chance of escaping if she could just get outside the palace walls. Maybe if someone bought her she could escape as they traveled to wherever her new master lived… then she would be free! Then she'd become rich and famous and have servants of her own (not slaves… she never wanted slaves…) and maybe she'd even become a powerful lord like Raizen! She'd train everyday and develop her ki and-

"Nika are you even listening to me!"

Nika was brought out of her daydreams by her grandmother's shrill voice. "Uh… eh?"

Baa chan smiled and shook her head. "Come on now… you'll be late if you don't hurry."

"Hai baa chan!" The young girl jumped off the stool and ran toward the banquet, which was already starting.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

A small blue blur bolted through the servants quarters full speed, intending to get to the party and kiss as much rich ass as possible so she could get out of the palace. Nika noticed Zaki the carriage driver who always snuck some treats to her from the town and turned her head as she ran. "Hi Zaki!!! Is there any good food at the- Oomph!"

Nika ran into what felt a brick wall and fell unceremoniously on her behind. She shook her head to clear it and looked up. A handsome young man with shoulder length black hair and horns stood there rubbing his stomach with a grimace accompanied by the most beautiful silver haired woman she had ever seen. The young woman looked at her and her companion with amusement in her eyes and chuckled lightly.

Nika could not help the small blush that developed on her cheeks as she watched the couple. The moment was ruined however as soon as the horned youth opened his mouth.

"Jeez kid! What is your head made out of? You must be really dense to have a skull that thick!"

Her blush quickly turned into a surge of anger. "Well if you had been watching where you were going asshole you wouldn't have gotten in my way!"

"What the hell do you mean if I had been watching where I was going you little twerp!" Yomi roared in indignation. "You're the one yelling hello over your shoulder as you run like a chicken with its head cut off!"

Nika jumped up on her feet and glared up at the youth with all the hate she could muster. "OH YEA! Well maybe if you saw off those dog bones you have protruding out of your skull you might have seen me coming you SON OF A BITCH!" She screamed the last part so loud that her little chest was heaving and all the servants' eyes were on them.

Kurama sweat dropped as he grabbed Yomi and whispered in his ear as Nika watched curiously.

Yomi sighed and looked back at Nika with annoyed look. "I'm sorry kid. I'll make sure to keep an eye out for fast little brats who don't watch where they're going from now on."

Nika's anger soared even higher still as she walked up to him with a neutral face. She beckoned him down to her level. Yomi leaned down out of curiosity and Nika turned his face and placed her lips close to his ear as if she was going to tell him a secret.

Taking a deep breath the little girl yelled as loud as her lungs could. "FUCK YOU ASSHOLE!!!" Then kicked him hard in the shin and ran as fast as her legs would carry her.

"THAT LITTLE BRAT!!!" cried Yomi as he bounced around holding his injured shin.

Kurama burst out laughing, the soft beautiful sound making Nika stop her escape and turn to look at the woman. Kurama looked back at her and smiled brilliantly. "Good one Chibi… see you around."

Nika's heartbeat raced but not from her exertion as she watched the silver haired woman help her companion continue down the corridor toward their destination. `Who is she…' she wondered. `Why have I never seen her before… and why is she a common servant when anyone that beautiful would have been made a concubine by the master long before now.'

The banquet forgotten, Nika decided to follow the mysterious newcomers.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"I swear Kurama…," grumbled Yomi as they walked through the nearly deserted corridors. "If I get my hands on that little brat I'll…"

"You'll do nothing and you know it… You have a soft spot for kids Yomi."

"That THING is not a kid… she's a monster, a menace to the entire Makai, a-"

"…concubine at an incredibly young age." finished Kurama.

Yomi stopped walking and looked at Kurama. "What makes you say that?" He asked as he resumed walking.

"Didn't you notice how she was dressed? I doubt she's wearing such finery to wait tables."

"But she hasn't even hit puberty yet…"

Kurama's golden eyes narrowed. "That doesn't matter to many Yomi… I know from personal experience that some bastards are sick enough to enjoy hurting the innocent and defenseless."

"I'd hardly call that kid defenseless…"

Kurama smiled softly. "She is a little spit fire isn't she…?" His eyes grew serious as the vault came into view. "We're here."

Yomi looked up at the massive steel doors that protected the vault. This was not going to be easy. "How exactly are we supposed to get in there again?"

"There's supposed to be a smaller doorway hidden beside the entrance." He reached forward and started feeling the cold walls. "Keep and eye out for the others. We have to tread carefully if we want to get the jump on the guards inside."

"Uh… Kurama…" whispered Yomi as he tugged on Kurama's plain white shirt.

"Not now Yomi, I'm trying to find the entrance."

"Um…" Yomi swallowed as he lifted his arm and unsheathed his sword from his back. "It's kinda important."

Kurama turned to see what had caused Yomi to pull his weapon and saw a plethora of guards with their weapons drawn surrounding them. Some of the guards even had the corpses of their companions at their feet. "Oh shit…"

"Do you think we can take them?" whispered Yomi.

"There's too many for just the two of us… we need to wait and see what happens."

"Well well well… I come back from a victory in Nazar and what do I find? A trapped fox and his horned accomplice."

Lord Mobu's son Neku stepped out of the shadows as his guards made way for his passage. The short fat green-skinned balding man smirked arrogantly as he ran a hand over what was left of his greasy brown hair. "You didn't actually think this little plan of yours would work did you?" He fixed Yomi with a hard stare. "Put down your blade or you die where you stand."

Yomi growled and glanced to Kurama. His leader nodded and Yomi put down the sword.

Neku smirked. "Good now both of you raise your hands up."

They did as they were told as Neku made his way toward Kurama. He glared up at the 7 ft. tall youko with an arrogant glint in his eye. "I'll be a legend for killing you… Youko Kurama." He reached his fist back and punched Kurama in the face.

Kurama didn't even flinch as Neku began to pummel him. However, a shrill cry caught his attention as he saw Neku flung to the floor by a familiar small blue blur.

The little concubine stood there with tears streaming down her face as a shocked Neku fixed her with a smoldering gaze from across the floor. "You insufferable little bitch! I'll see you hanged for this you little whore!"

"DON'T HURT HIM! DON'T HURT EITHER OF THEM!" Nika screamed as more tears rolled down her cheeks. "The lady is too pretty and even Mr. Grumpy over there is nice deep down!!!!"

Yomi sweat dropped as he heard what the kid called him. His expression grew serious however, when Neku stood up and grabbed the child by the hair hard yanking her to him hard. He turned to look at his companion in surprise when he caught the light angry growls issuing from his throat.

Neku noticed the snarls too. "Guards hold them! I think I just figured out who assisted them in their robbery attempt. Kensho said Kurama had gotten his information from a concubine…"

"Kensho that traitorous son of a bitch!" yelled Yomi as he struggled against the guards as they pushed him down on his knees.

"It wasn't her!" cried out Kurama as he was forced down as well. "It was Aiko! The concubine who helped us was Aiko!"

However, Neku was beyond caring. He slapped Nika across the face hard enough to make her lip bleed. Then he picked her up and began to lap at the blood with his tongue. "My what a sweet little girl… no wonder father likes fucking you so much!"

"NO! Stop it!" sobbed Nika as she kicked her little legs.

Kurama and Yomi both struggled against their captors, not wanting to witness this.

Neku tossed the little girl on the floor and shredded her clothing before holding her down with one hand around her neck and freeing his member with the other. He then forced her legs apart and slammed into her.

Nika's scream of pain echoed through the corridors… even the guards had to turn away at the gruesome sight of Neku moving within the small child as she bled all over him.

Yomi could not stand it, the girl… the little spitfire was screaming in tortured agony as the fat man tore her apart. He looked over at Kurama and was shocked to see a single tear roll down his cheek from one dull looking eye. His eyes were blank and he was transfixed by the gruesome violence before him. How could he watch that?

Yomi forced himself to look at the child after the screaming suddenly stopped and saw her crystal blue eyes staring right into Kurama's in the same fashion. The tears on her face dried up and she looked devoid of all emotion.

After Neku had taken his pleasure from Nika, he stood up and ordered them taken to the dungeon before turning and leaving.

The guards pulled Kurama and Yomi to their feet as another guard went to pick up Nika. She never wavered or broke her gaze with Kurama until she finally fell unconscious.

A/N: Oh, crap… I cannot believe I just wrote something so gruesome! I am actually crying right now… I just… God that was just horrible! But I swear it was necessary to the plot! At least I didn't go into too much detail… Well if you weren't totally put off by this, please review… I swear it gets better but yes, this story is very angst filled. It will be very sad and very emotional and it will not have any more rape I swear! I HATED writing that… I think I need a hug now… Oh and no Kurama and Yomi will not be having sex with an 11 year old. She will be older when that happens. AND it will NOT be rape. Comments, suggestions and constructive criticism are welcome. Flames will be ignored. You can disagree with my writing without being an ass. Let's be mature okay people.
