Nari’s weak form hit the floor of the angered
demon’s room
harshly as he threw her downward for her defiant behavior. She refused
to speak
up on what went on in his room while he was out. Nari knew she was
close to
freedom and she dared not blow it now regardless of the abuse she had
to
endure. Her bruised forearms were what she used to drag herself across
the
floor steadily towards the door until pressure was placed on her back
no thanks
to Yoko Kurama’s foot meeting with her mid-back.

Yoko Kurama rubbed his heel into Nari’s backside
harshly as
he glared down at her with his golden, cold stare through his silver
hair. “I
am going to ask you one more time, who was in here?” His deep,
threatening tone
growled.

Nari’s fingers clutched tightly as she bit her
lower lip in
attempts to try and not give the demon a satisfying cry of displeasure.
“I—don’t know!” She answered somewhat truthfully.

Reaching for the chain that was there on the floor
close by,
Yoko Kurama’s hands gripped tightly onto it to force Nari’s head back
as he
knelt down, pinning her body to the floor as he was literally sitting
upon her
back. His fangs dangerously close to her ear, he snapped at her as he
was
furious with her actions. “Pray all you want for freedom, you bitch,”
Yoko
Kurama hissed, “but those bastards will have to get through me to get
to you.”

Hearing his words, Nari threatened to lower her
head back
down to the floor in disappointment. But Yoko Kurama wouldn’t allow it
as he
pulled back on the chain once more to make her lift her head.

“I know all about what Koenma is doing to try and
get
everyone free,” Yoko Kurama announced to Nari still as he remained on
her back.
“That is why I put you in here since you are the main one they are
looking for.
How they know of you, I don’t know but I am not taking the chance of
them
making off with you.”

Closing her eyes, Nari tried not to look at the
heartless
fox demon thief as she eventually was released and allowed to collapse
upon the
floor. She knew Yoko Kurama was no fool, but for once, she wished the
clever
demon would be left out of the loop of what was going on. Remaining
there upon
the ground even after the demon got off of her, she sighed internally
not
wishing to move as a frown was expressed there upon her face to show
her anger
dwelling inside. Just you wait…when that
letter comes back to me, I’ll get my revenge on you! Nari thought.

The slaves within the barn were soon all moved
quickly into
the mansion once again. Yoko Kurama was worried that the demons looming
around
and working under Koenma would cause problems and start picking off
their
slaves in the middle of the night. Each one was hauled through the
horrible
storm when they were supposed to be sleeping. Each person was wearily
dragged
to their masters’ rooms and those who lost their masters thanks to Yomi
were
left behind to either die of starvation or the harsh weather
conditions—whichever chose their soul first.

Nari remained in Yoko Kurama’s bedroom, tied to
his bedpost
as she sat there upon the cold, hard floor with her thin arms resting
on her
weary legs. Hearing the door open once more made the exhausted woman
look
through her uneven hair at the entrance to the room to spy the fox
demon for a
moment as he shoved her mix-bred son into his bedroom. Seeing her son
there at
the door made her heart leap as she tried to get to her feet to hurry
to him
only able to go so far as the chain restricted her movements about the
bedroom.

Yoko Kurama remained at the doorway as he pointed
down at
Okuro before shifting his attention to Nari. “Take your brat and keep
him
quiet! I have things to deal with. Either you sleep or don’t. Whatever
you do
matters little to me. Just keep him quiet. If you move, I’ll punish him
for it!”
He threatened before closing the door to leave the two alone.

Nari waited until the demon left the room as she
opened her
arms to her son. “Okuro, come here—come to mommy.”

Okuro’s black ears twisted forward as he heard the
words of
his mother. He was relieved to see her again as he hurried towards her
not enjoying
the storm he had been stuck out within. His arms embracing her neck, he
pinned
his ears back against his head when another thunder roll passed through
the
area quite loudly.

“Don’t worry, Okuro, somebody is out there trying
to save
us…or possibly looking for an opportunity to do so,” Nari believed as
she held
onto her son tightly. “It’s nice to know that at least someone is
watching over
us after all these years.” Pulling back from her son a moment, she
cupped his
dirty cheeks to look into his eyes. “That demon didn’t hurt you when he
brought
you to me, did he?”

Okuro shook his head as he held onto his mother’s
wrists
that were close to his face. “No,” he answered quietly. “Are we going
to leave?
I want to leave here.”

Sighing softly, Nari brought her knees close to
her chest
with a light shrug. “I don’t know, baby. I sure hope we get out of here
soon.”
Moving some of her hair behind her ear best she could to get it out of
her
face, she looked at the broken window that Yoko Kurama ordered to be
replaced. Since
it was too late for anyone to do anything about it, the fox demon
merely
planted some of his seeds off to the side of the waterfall that crashed
not too
far away from them so the plants could grow and create a thorny
barricade for
those who wanted in or out. “There was a demon that came here looking
for me,”
Nari explained further to her son as she looked to him once more. “I am
hoping…he will be the one to help us be free…”

“Another demon?” Okuro wondered as he looked out
the window
that was boarded up by thorn covered vines. “Was he from Yoko Kurama?”
He
wondered in his broken sentence.

“No, no, I don’t think he was from this group,”
Nari
answered softly. “He attacked Yoko Kurama, so I don’t think he is…I can
only
pray he is not. I’ve been in this hell for far too long and I don’t
want you
remaining in it any longer than I have.”

Okuro grabbed onto his mother’s closest leg to
embrace it
best he could. “I want us to leave too. I want you to be happy.”

Nari tried to smile for her son but it hurt to do
such a
thing as she looked down at him there close by. “Oh, honey, it’s been
awhile
since mommy has expressed…happiness.” Helping Okuro into her arms so he
could
rest upon her if he wanted, she sighed a bit with a shake of her head.
“And I
don’t know if I will ever experience it again.” Her fingers coming
across the
necklace she made for Kuronue and gave to her son, she couldn’t help
but frown
further as she thought back on him during the night.

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

Nari and Okuro slept together on the wooden floor
during the
remainder of the night and well into the morning hours. It was a
peaceful sleep
regardless of the raging storm that continued until at least the crack
of dawn
where it finally parted and went onward. Whatever was going on with the
demons
took them well into the morning hours, allowing the two weary sleepers
a few
extra hours. It was one of the few mornings where Nari could actually
wake
without someone yelling in her ear or kicking her in the side or face.
It was
nice to wake to nothing but the muffled sound of the waterfall and the
sound of
birds chirping as she pushed herself steadily upward to look at the
quiet room
about them.

Gazing down at her son, she ran her fingers
through his
blended hair of blond and silver that made it the color of blondish,
white to
those who looked upon it as she wondered what went on while she was
asleep. As
she continued to pay attention to her sleeping boy, voices arose behind
the
door and two of them sounded like Yoko Kurama and Yomi out of the four
she
could hear.

“I am telling you, those demons left,” one of the
odd voices
remarked behind the door.

“I am not taking any chances,” Yoko Kurama hissed
as he
stopped at his door in the hallway. “I know there was more than one
here! I
could sense them all!”

“What do you want us to do, Yoko Kurama?” Yomi
asked angrily
at the annoyances that were now in their life.

“I want two demons to play as guards every morning
and
night,” the fox demon explained loud enough for Nari to hear. “That
bastard
detective somehow figured out where we are and now Koenma is sending
his own
demonic mutts to trail onto our asses.”

“I bet it was Kuronue who spilled it when he was
killed,”
one of the other foreign demonic voices remarked in the background.

Having to be reminded of his friend’s death, Yoko
Kurama
wasn’t too pleased as he growled at the demon who dared suggest such a
thing.
“Kuronue would never betray me! He would hold his tongue for the sake
of our
friendship and that’s more than I can say for anyone else here!”

Everyone was quiet, including Nari as she
continued to be
all ears at that moment. Her hand pressing against her bare chest, she
thought
on Kuronue and released a sigh of sadness at having to be called to the
bat
demon’s death again. While tears threatened to spill, she dared not let
them as
she bit at her lower lip.

“Now,” Yoko Kurama demanded angrily, “do as I say
and alert
the others.” The other demons with him left to do as the leader asked
of them
as Yoko Kurama opened the door to reveal that Yomi had still been
standing
there. “As for you, Yomi, you are taking the runt and her abomination
to your
bedroom. I have watched them long enough and have no use for them.”

Having that grace her ears Nari held onto her son
tightly,
allowing him to wake as she was forced from her spot there on the
floor. The
chain untied from the bedpost and handed over to the multi-horned
demon, she
merely looked down at her feet so as to hide the anger she feared she
might
express to him and be punished for.

Okuro lifted his ears slightly as he opened his
eyes to the
coal black haired demon they would be traded to. He didn’t like the
look of it
as he tried to hold back his growl that was bubbling up within his
throat.

Grabbing onto Nari’s chain tightly, Yomi jerked
her forward
as he eyed the fox demon curiously. Not saying a word to his leader, he
looked
down at his slave with a smirk upon his faced. “Come on, wench,” he
grumbled
with a tug to her chain and collar. “I am filthy from my time out
during that
storm so you get to draw my bath for me.”

Joy, Nari thought
sarcastically as she was pulled away from Yoko Kurama. Looking over her
shoulder once more at the silver fox, she could only question what was
going on
with her eyes before the door was closed behind her.

Yoko Kurama turned towards his bed as he rested
his palms
there upon the bedcovers to think on what had recently gone on. “Open
up to
her, that’s all I can ask for, Yomi. Knowing your high and mighty
attitude lately,
I wouldn’t doubt you will sooner or later.” The demon was still having
a
difficult time trusting Yomi as he was still going underneath his nose
to do
his own raids against his word. All he could do now was hand Nari over
and pray
that Yomi would slip up with her.

Nari hurried to keep up with Yomi as he pulled her
down the
hall against her will. Her bare feet digging into the plush carpet that
lined
the floor below her, she tried not to fall on her face every time the
demon got
ahead of her and tugged on her chain harshly to make her quicken her
pace. The
many doors that passed by her as she was dragged to the new bathing
area almost
made her dizzy. It was like she was in an endless hallway or a funhouse
of some
kind that had endless rooms that only opened up to another set of
hallways. She
could never get used to the largeness of the mansion.

Yomi eventually turned off down into another hall
of the few
he had been within as he entered the first door on the right where the
large
bathroom was. White marble littered the area and decorated everything
including
the tubs that littered the bathroom and the four sinks there on the
right of
the entrance. It was obvious that the water demons had a lavished life
there in
Makai and it was so savagely taken from them all thanks to the greed
the demon
thieves shared.

Turning around, Yomi grabbed onto the chain to
pull Nari
deadly close to his face. “Put the boy down and tend to me,” he hissed
as his
warm breath caressed her face.

Nari merely nodded as she held her tongue by
biting it,
nearly drawing blood from it as she did so. Turning around, she placed
Okuro
there on the chilly, marble flooring with her finger placed to her
lips. “Don’t
make a sound,” she pleaded of her son softly before turning towards
Yomi with
her hands folded in front of her.

“Now get your ass over to the tub and get the
water cool or
I will make you regret it,” Yomi threatened as he pulled Nari from her
son once
more.

Being pulled to her feet, Nari hurried over
towards the
bathtub to start the water once she figured out how to try and get it
just
right for her overbearing master. The water crashing within the marble
crafted
tub that Yomi wanted out of his choosing, she continued thinking on the
letter
she sent Suzuka, worrying about that note for she would need an answer
to try
and take down the cunning Yoko Kurama. Her fingers feeling of the
warming
water, she messed with the knobs of hot and cold to try and make it
satisfactory for her master as it finally filled up the marble tub.

Wiping her wet hands on her thighs, she stood up
to look at
Yomi best she could without frowning. “Is there anything else you want
me to
do?”

Yomi stared deep into Nari’s eyes and listened to
her voice
with his acute hearing. Without warning, he slapped the woman with his
hand
harshly as it drew a bit of blood from the corner of her mouth as he
did so
with such force. When the stunned human eyed him confusingly, he
narrowed his
eyes at her. “You ridicule me with your wrenched human eyes and mouth.
You best
watch both or your son will be the one to pay for it.”

The thought of her son being punished now on her
behalf Nari
averted her eyes from her master and held her bruising cheek with her
palm. She
had grown so hard and cold towards the demons and their abuse that they
had
shifted their attention to her son lately and filled her head with
threats of
killing him or abusing him if she dared make a wrong move. It pained
her as she
tried to correct the tone of her voice for her and her son’s sake.
“Should I
remove your clothing, Master Yomi?”

“Don’t ask, just do it,” Yomi demanded as he
grabbed back
onto her chain to make her look back in his direction.

Grabbing onto his sash that kept his attire on,
Nari closed
her eyes as she sighed inwardly at the thought of freedom. Please,
whoever listens to my prayers…just save us. We have all
suffered enough.

The bath lasted for awhile and not without its
hair pulling
and marks added to her body when Nari did wrong. After the long session
in the
bathroom, she was hauled back towards the demon’s room where she was
pushed in
with a shove to her shoulder. Nari caught herself seeing as she had her
son in
her arms and she feared landing on him. The door closed behind them,
Nari
released her son on the floor as the demon was quick to grab back onto
her
collar and pull her towards his bed. Fear of being choked by the tight
neck
shackle she wore, she grabbed onto it to try and pull it from her
throat as
Yomi pulled her across the floor. Coughing a bit at her esophagus being
abused
by the cold iron worn around her neck, Nari got to her feet with Yomi’s
help
before being pinned down on the bed.

“Tell me, you bitch,” Yomi hissed as he was there,
right in
her face, “what does Yoko Kurama hope for you to do for him?”

“What—what are you talking about!” Nari asked as
she tried
to look away from the horned demon that made her stomach churn in
sickness.

“I am no fool as Yoko Kurama wants to believe! He
is giving
you to me for something, so what is it?” Yomi asked once more as he
grabbed onto
her chin to force her eyes to meet with his.

Nari knew it was best to act clueless regardless
of what it would
give her in Yomi’s possession. She knew if she opened her mouth on what
she
thought was bugging Yoko Kurama, the fox demon would kill her without
hesitation. She shook her head quickly and furiously, “I don’t know
what you’re
talking about!”

Yomi eventually released Nari’s chin as he pushed
himself up
to look down at the battered woman there upon his bed. “I have reasons
not to
trust a conniving human seeing as you have been sneaking around for
something.
And yet, Yoko Kurama refuses to punish you from what I see.”

“How should I know what is going on,” Nari asked
boldly as
she attempted to sit upright. “I am being used by both you demons.”

Having to hear that tone once more, Yomi grabbed
onto her
shackled throat to push her downwards back upon the bed she was
previously
resting upon. “Watch your tongue, bitch.” His eyes gazing up at the
clock in
his bedroom, the demon smirked at the time as he used the tip of his
nail to
outline her face with it, nearly tearing the flesh as he did so. “Well,
we have
a few minutes together so we might as well make the best of that.”

Nari didn’t say a word as she locked eyes with the
beast
that had her pinned to the bed. She knew what he was after as she lied
there,
sprawled out and ready for his use and his alone at that moment. She
allowed
the demon to touch her body as he pleased even if it disgusted her.
Nari could
feel his claws feeling of her naked form and she dared not make a move
at that
moment as she turned her head to the side to try and ignore the feel of
him.

Yomi’s hands felt the contours of Nari’s abused
body as he
bit gently, for the time being, on her right shoulder. His hands moved
down
towards her inner thighs where he marked her yet again with his sharp
nails
making her flinch as he did so. A grimace merely was expressed as he
pulled
back from her shoulder he bit, marking it with his teeth and drawing
blood as
he did so. Her crimson blood marred his fangs as he grinned at her
through her
messy hair. “You tense so easily and all I did was taste your tainted
blood,”
Yomi insulted as he forced a kiss upon her mouth to mark her lips in
her own
blood.

Nari looked at Yomi out of the corner of her eye
once he
kissed her. She wanted to throw up at the mere taste of his saliva but
she
dared not with her son in the room. Inhaling sharply, she tried to keep
whatever she had in her stomach there as he marked her face with the
blood upon
his lips.

The demon could feel and sense her displeasure
which fuelled
his arousal. He cared not for the woman’s body and not what she could
do—he
merely enjoyed tormenting her and making her suffer. Seeing such things
was how
he reached his sexual pleasure. Pulling on the chain in his hand, Yomi
ordered
Nari up to her feet as he stepped back in his full attire. “Get up, you
runt,”
he demanded.

Doing as she was ordered, Nari got to her feet
before being
shoved down to her knees there upon the hard wood floor. Kneeling
before the
demon, she watched him closely as he untied his sash before her. It
surprised
Nari very little as she remained there waiting for him to expose his
concealed
organ to her. It may have disgusted her to think of taking him into her
mouth
but she had no other option.

His sash removed and his clothing as well, Yomi
grabbed onto
her chain to pull her towards his exposed manhood. “You better do this
right or
your little runt will pay for your failure to please me.”

Her expression was void of any kind of clear
emotion as Nari
grabbed onto the base of his member from where she was kneeling there
upon the
floor. Careful with her nails, she took the head of his member into her
mouth
to engulf it in the warmth of her mouth. She tried not to throw up with
the
taste of his sensitive skin there nearly down her throat the more she
worked
him. It was difficult, however, with how much anger she had for him.
Closing
her eyes tightly, she suckled upon his swelling flesh harshly almost
tempted to
drag her canine teeth across his length to make him pay for all he had
done to
her. But Nari didn’t as she held tightly onto the demon’s sides as her
saliva
coated his organ to the best of her ability.

Yomi grinned ear to ear as he watched the helpless
woman be
forced to please him when he knew how much she despised him. Grunting
from the
feel of her trying to take him all in as he often ordered her to do in
the
past, he pushed her back harshly with his palm gracing her forehead.
Not
bothering to warn her at all once Nari was forced away from his erected
manhood, the dark seed of the demon released and clung to the
ill-treated
woman’s face.

Nari closed her mouth and eyes quickly at the feel
of the
slimy substance gracing her face, acting as though it was mere poison
to the
touch and she feared getting it in her mouth and sight. She attempted
to wipe
it off but the demon grabbed onto the wrist of the hand that dared do
so. The
demon’s grip tightened around her weak and fragile wrist, making her
squirm and
almost bow down to his feet as she released a brief cry of displeasure.
“Sorry…! I won’t do it!” She announced wearily and fearfully.

“You better not, you stupid whore,” Yomi growled
as he
finally released her. “You are marked from the inside out by me and you
deserve
to sit and stew in my release till I return.” Grabbing onto his
clothing, the
demon worked on redressing himself before making it to the door of his
room so
he could part for the day. “If you’ve removed it before I get back, I
will
punish you for your actions.”

Nari remained there on the floor, resting on her
side as she
waited for the door to close. When the sound of it finally rang within
her
ears, she pushed herself up on her side to wipe the substance the demon
left
off of her face. A furious growl was expressed as she threw it off of
her
fingers with her son watching just around the front of the bed. “UGH,
I fucking hate him!”

Okuro watched cautiously from a safe distance as
he lifted
his coal black ears slightly to the words of hate his mother expressed.
“Mommy…won’t you get in trouble…?” He wondered as he looked over his
shoulder
at the door that had recently been shut in fear of Yomi returning.

Looking to her son, hating that he had to witness
that, she
opened her arms a bit to him to allow Okuro to come inside of them if
he
wished. She watched as he crawled closely towards her and rested within
her
naked form. “I don’t care at this moment…I just want to get out of
here,” she
stressed as she tried to hide her pain in her son’s hair.

The young mix-breed pulled back from his mother
after a
moment as he groaned miserably up at her. “I am hungry. When are we
going to
eat?”

Sighing a bit at the fact that there was no food
nearby,
Nari eventually eyed the door there that led out into the mansion’s
many
hallways. “I’ll tell you what, sweetie, as soon as the hour passes, I
will try
to go out and get you something to eat. How does that sound?”

Okuro could only frown at the answer seeing as his
stomach
was bothering him, and he craved food. Eventually he nodded as he
rested his
head there upon his mother’s chest that was so bony thanks to
malnutrition.
“Alright, I can wait.”

When the clock in the room struck the coming hour,
Nari
pulled from her weary son and got to her bruised feet to head to the
door while
Okuro slept there upon the floor. He was exhausted from not having any
food
lately and took the time to sleep. The boards creaking underneath her,
Nari
made it to the door that she opened slowly to see if anyone was down
the
hallway Yomi’s room rested within. Spying nobody thus far, Nari was
quick to
hurry to the door at the end of the hallway that she knew would lead
her close
to the entrance of the mansion.

Nari’s bare feet tapped furiously against the
wooden floor
that seemed to travel on forever as she finally made her way to the
large
dining hall that was empty. The food was there near the double doors
making
Nari rush over towards the fruit, meat, and vegetables that had been
kept out. Once
she made it to the table that displayed such foods, she got nervous and
nearly
fainted from fright. She could hear demons just outside the
door—several of
them, in fact. It made her want to run and hide under the table to hear
so many
so close but she couldn’t…her son needed food or he would starve.
Gathering her
courage, she hurried to the food to start stealing a few things for
Okuro that
was waiting back in the bedroom.

As Nari was quickly putting items into her arms, a
tapping
sound at the windows startled her and nearly made her drop everything.
Her
heart thumping quickly at having such a scare, she looked over at the
windows
wondering who would be outside. Her green eyes looking at the windows
that
lined the area, Nari inhaled a sigh of relief at spying the cockatiel
she had
sent out to Suzuka. She wanted to rush outside to grab the note she
could
clearly see, but her exit was blocked by quite a few demons just beyond
the
double wooden doors to her right. The human woman had no other choice
but to
try and open the window without being heard.

Keeping low to the ground, she made her way to the
windows
to try and force them open with what little strength she had. “Come on,
come
on,” she begged silently as she tried to get them open. After much
pulling on
the resistant window one finally cracked open forcing Nari to get
aggressive
towards it as she was almost outside to the bird that had what she had
been
waiting for.

The window moved a bit more under Nari’s
persistence but the
double doors up front steadily creaked open causing her to panic and
hurry over
to the lengthy dinning table with the food she had stolen. She knew if
a demon
caught her out of her room and with food as well, she would probably be
thrown
out to die in the hell that was known as Makai. Nari tried to keep
quiet and
even threatened not to breathe knowing that the demons would be able to
hear it
and would catch her. The two demons walked through the area, chatting
about
nothing of interest to Nari who remained hidden under the table best
she could.
She hoped and prayed they wouldn’t catch her as she tried to remain
calm.

The demons stopped at the door that would lead to
a hallway
full of other doors and stairways. It frightened Nari as they seemed to
go
quiet and stand there for a moment. She feared at that moment that they
might
have smelt her there within the room as she bit her lower lip in worry.

“What is it?” One of the male demons asked as the
door could
be heard opening.

“Nothing,” the female responded as Nari watched
their feet
from where she was hiding under the table. “It just smells in here. I
think
that food is rotten and needs to be thrown out. Something sure smells
like it
has rotted.”

Nari knew they were talking about her dirty body
that she
had obtained no thanks to the lack of being bathed. But she said not a
word,
waiting for the demons to leave the room so she could tend to the bird
that was
still waiting outside for her. She waited patiently though nervousness
raked
through her body as she remained hidden in the dinning room and,
eventually,
the door shut behind the two and the room was empty yet again minus
Nari.

Crawling out from under the table quickly, she
hurried back
over to the window to force it open when she put the food down on top
the table
so she could use both her hands without problems. Eventually the window
moved
further up and Nari could slip out to call to the bird she had been so
eagerly
waiting for.

“There you are,” Nari whispered as she
outstretched her arm
to accept the cockatiel and allow him to roost upon her fingers.

The cockatiel quickly flapped over towards Nari
and perched
on her wrist with the letter there in his beak. His talons moving along
her
arm, he showed the human woman the piece of paper while releasing a
muffled
tweet.

Taking the piece of paper, Nari quickly opened it
to read
what was there seeing as she feared being caught.

Nari,

The Makai plants you
asked for are listed below and what they will do is written beside
them. I
suggest you use them wisely and good luck to you.

The Beautiful Suzuka

Nari didn’t have time to read what each one was as
she
looked to the bird in her hand. “Thank you, buddy,” she whispered in
relief at
the response given to her. “I am hoping now I can free us all from this
place.”
Giving the bird a few scratches with her index finger, she let the bird
fly
free without a message to give him as she made her way back inside the
mansion’s dinning room.

The cockatiel tweeted before taking flight once
more to head
back out into the forest of Makai. He had done his job and now all he
had to do
was survive the flight back to Suzuka’s house where he knew he would be
taken
care of.

Taking the note and slipping it into her collar
that was
tightly placed about her neck and could hide the slip of paper, she
stepped
back into the dinning room to close the window behind her quietly. Once
the
window was closed after much struggling with it, again, she grabbed
back up the
food she had picked out for her son and hurried to the door in the back
of the
room that she cautiously opened. Due to the demons that had left
through that
door, Nari worried about being caught by them so she was careful all
through
the hallways she took.

Eventually, after several turns, she found Yomi’s
room once
more and opened the door to quickly let herself inside with the food
there in
her scarred arms. Closing the door quietly so as not to alert anyone,
Nari
hurried to her son and gave him the peaches and bananas she managed to
carry.
“Here, Okuro,” she said hastily to show her fear in her tone as she
peeled the
bananas for him. “Eat what you can. I am going to have to hide the rest
of it
so we won’t be punished for sneaking food.”

Okuro took the bananas that were peeled for him,
nibbling on
it as he eyed his mother. “Why don’t you eat?”

“I can’t, baby,” Nari sighed seeing as the thought
was
tempting. “If I eat anything, my masters will smell it…I can’t do
anything
without their say-so…” Slipping the paper out of her collar, Nari
looked
through it to remind herself that her freedom was coming; she just had
to be
patient.

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

Throughout the coming hours, everything was
relatively
quiet. Nari waited for Yomi to return but he never did. Okuro had
fallen asleep
after he ate what food she managed to snatch for him. The remainder of
the
foods she threw outside so she couldn’t be caught for sneaking out and
stealing
rations her masters didn’t give her. Her knees up to her chest, she
kept her
eyes upon the clock to notice it was nearing midnight. This surprised
her
seeing as Yomi had been gone since late that afternoon or so. Even on
raids
Yomi and the others never took that long.

“I wonder what happened,” Nari asked herself
softly as she
kept eyeing the clock.
Eventually the door to Yomi’s room opened but the
horned
demon wasn’t the one standing there—it was Yoko Kurama. It confused
Nari and
startled her to see the dense outline of the silver fox demon standing
in the
doorway of the darkened room and hall. The demon entered the room
without a
thought in the matter as he reached down to grab onto Nari’s chain that
he could
spy on the floor. “Come with me,” he ordered in his deep, eerie tone.
“You will
remain with me from now on. Yomi is no longer your master.”

Getting to her feet, Nari picked up her son and
followed the
fox demon out into the hallway they were within. It was densely lit and
hard to
see anything even with the candles lit. It frightened her as she held
her
sleeping son close to her body, looking up at the demon before her
confused.
“Master Yoko Kurama, what happened to Master Yomi?”

“He’s dead,” Yoko Kurama answered simply without a
hint of
care in his tone. “I killed him. He has disobeyed me enough and has
suffered
for his actions.” His narrow, gold eyes looking over his shoulder at
the woman,
he glared at her through the thick darkness. “And if you disobey me
too, I will
kill you without thought regardless of what use you are to me.”

Nari could only look down at her feet to hide her
glower in
return to the demon. Not if I kill you
first…
