Black Blood & Fifty Lashes.

It was very cold, it was very damp and it was dark, this he knew without even opening his eyes. The bad thing about being knocked out cold is you normally don't remember it, and he did not remember it. His eyes where heavy, and his arms where, dare he say, sore? It was then that he realized they where above his head, he moved them, chains hit brick, it echoed, they where underground, wait, they?

His eyes snapped opened at the feel of the heavy weight on his chest move, then it made a noise, it was coming to. It was dark but he could see, his feet where also chained, slowly he looked down, and wished with all his being that he had not, in fact he wished someone would knock him out all over again, who ever did this was going to pay with a slow, slow, slow death, then he was going to bring them back and do it all over again.

It moved, no not it, she, she moved again "Mmm"

He could smell blood, it was coming from her head, it was not much though. He tried very hard to recall how he got here and like this, he didn't even recall being near her, but he knew this was Naraku's doing. She moved again, the chains on her arms clanking together, her arms where also above her, her arms rested between his head, her hands could fit in his they way they were. He legs did not touch the floor though, she was of course shorter than he but they had chained her higher, her legs where spread. Her head laid on his chest, she was still out cold, and her body was freezing. He sighed for the first time in his life. He yanked his arm but nothing, his demonic power was also chained, in fact the more he pulled the more it burned, there was some kind of holy spell on it. Sesshomaru looked up at her chain and narrowed his eyes, her chain most have had some type of seal on it, her could not nothing of her power.

Where was the half breed at?

Sesshomaru stayed calm, he was always calm, but he was livid on the inside.

"Mm" She moaned again, then moved again.

"Miko" He called silently, he kept his voice low and steady, she was going to freak out and that was really the last thing they needed.

"Miko" He said again, maybe she could remember. Her head moved up till her face was looking at his, her eyes where still closed, she shivered. He could see her face, her cheek rested against his chest.

"Miko" He said again, her eyes opened "Stay calm"

Her heart race and she jumped while sucking in air, "Miko" He growled.

She pushed and pulled on the chains, they burnt and she hissed, tears quickly formed in her eyes.

"Miko be still and silent, look at me" She had been looking all around, even thought he was sure she could not see. Her head move and she was looking up at him, he could see the color in her eyes.

"Sesshomaru" She shivered in both cold and fear,

"I am here" He came out of his mouth without a thought.

"How, what, I'm scared"

"I am unsure how miko, but this is Narakus's doing, I was hoping you would recall"

"You mean you don't remember?!"

She tried to pull up,

"It will do no good, be still"

"Cant you do something?" She whispered,

"My chains have a holy seal, I can not"

Her heat beat picked up, she swallowed hard "We are going to die, aren't we"

"Speak only for yourself miko"

"Where are we"

"Underground"

"It's cold, your cold, oh my God"

"What" He snapped,

"Your naked!"

"So are you" He said darkly,

She trashed and pulled, not caring that the chains were pulling on her flesh, She for the fist time was afraid of him, she was more afraid of him now than she was when he first tried to kill her.

"Miko be still"

"No! we have to get out of here! What if someone finds us like this, oh God Inuyasha" She cried.

"I am uncaring of who or how they find us miko, I am more concerned as to why we are like this" Fuck the rest of them, what did he care?

She sniffed and turned her head both ways "I, I can't see anything"

"I can see enough, we are underground"

She shivered again and even thought at first she was shying away she was now laying against him. He could not fault her or tell her to stop, they where both tired, cold, sore, but she was deathly afraid, but she was handling it pretty well. He thought she would scream, yell, call out for his pathetic brother to come save her, but, she didn't.

So there they were, cold, naked and chained to each other, and for once in his life, he was at a lost, he could not figure out why, he had no answers and he Sesshomaru, could do nothing.
