It felt much different without Yomi nearby but a
part of
Nari was grateful for the demon’s announced demise. It now left her
with one
master but that one master was the more cunning of the two others and
most
heartless. Nari was under constant watch from the demon and was hardly
allowed
out of his sight even if the demon went on raids here and there to
occupy his
mind. She began to worry if she would ever be able to attempt to poison
him
after awhile.

One night Yoko Kurama remained in his bedroom,
sitting in
his favorite chair with a glass of wine there in his hands. The red
liquid
swirled about the crystal clear glass as he sat in thought about all
that had
gone on lately. The demon could only sigh and groan that most of what
he had
worked for was going right down the drain and quickly. If things
weren’t bad
enough, he had demons watching his mansion every night, waiting for him
to make
a false move and it angered him to be on watch.

Nari sat right beside the demon with her son there
in her
arms sleeping for the night. She was nervous as she kept the slip of
paper
there within her neck shackle that pressed tightly against her flesh to
conceal
the note. Nari was eager to get outside and look for the items listed,
but she
had no time lately to escape from her master to do such a thing. All
she could
do was fidget while sitting there, showing that she was obviously
anxious for
the time being.

The fox demon looked down at the nervous woman
that
continued to shake her foot as a way to release her building anxiety.
“Will you
stop that? It’s extremely irritating,” Yoko Kurama grumbled as he
brought his
wine glass up to his mouth again.

Nari had been so nervous that she had failed to
notice her
constant foot wagging. She eventually got her foot to stop by sitting
upon it.
Keeping her son close to her body, she felt of the necklace again there
upon
his neck that she had originally given to Kuronue. Gazing down upon it
she
prompted a brief smile upon her face there in the densely lit room.

Yoko Kurama watched her actions and, with his
excellent
sight, could spy the brief smile that graced her face. His cold stare
shifting
down at the necklace he recalled Kuronue wearing, he could only frown
at the
item. “You still hold onto such a thing even after Kuronue’s death,”
Yoko
Kurama announced before taking another sip of his wine. “It’s amazing
how you
two felt anything for one another.”

Feeling insulted, Nari looked up at Yoko Kurama
with an
angered look that she dared not hide this time. “I loved Kuronue and he
loved
me…!”

The bandit did not slap her or punish Nari for her
words. He
merely looked down at her with the glass he held not too far from his
lips. It
was as though he wanted to hear more as he pulled the wine from his
mouth. “And
why did you? What did he ever do for you?”

“Kuronue was the one to actually comfort and
protect me down
here in this hellhole!” Nari insisted as her fist rested upon her bony
chest
that spoke her undernourishment. “He took care of my son even if he is YOURS and was a father to him!”

Hearing that Okuro was his again angered Yoko
Kurama as he
yanked on the chain to nearly choke Nari for her punishment. The young
woman
coughing from such a painful surprise, the demon lowered his head so he
could
gaze deeply into her eyes with his silver ears pinned back. “Don’t you
dare
tell me he’s mine again, do you hear me! That brat isn’t mine!”

Nari struggled to catch the breath she lost as she
gently
and carefully placed Okuro on the floor. She knew he was probably awake
by now
but was too scared to move at this given point to prove it. Breathing
heavily,
she looked back up at the fox demon with a shake of her head. “Why—why
don’t
you just kill me now and get it over with, damn you!” Nari was getting
fed up
with her life in Makai now and wanted to just be destroyed at the
demon’s
hands. At least then she could escape the torture her body had
withstood so
many years.

“The reason I don’t kill you now is because that
would
release you to Koenma’s hands and I am not above doing that—at least
not yet.”
Getting up from his seat, he left the chain there on the floor as he
walked
over to the windows not too far away from where he was sitting
previously.
“Besides, I barely have anyone left as it is so I might as well keep
some kind
of company with me even if it isn’t good company.” Looking over his
shoulder
back at Nari and Okuro, he kept his void expression there upon his
face. “And
don’t even think about someone rescuing you. Those demons are
tremendously weak
compared to me. You’re stuck here for eternity, so get used to that.”

“You’re wrong!” Nari shouted, crawling towards the
demon on
the floor. “I will find a way out of here! Someone is trying to save us
and you
cannot hold out forever, Master!”

Having to hear her being so defiant towards him
enraged the
usually patient demon. Finishing off his wine, he placed the glass
there upon
the nightstand close by him before coming over to the young girl to
pick up her
chain and pull her from the chair that rested before the quiet
fireplace. “Come
with me,” he ordered in a calm fury. When Nari’s legs refused to move
fast
enough, Yoko Kurama pulled on the chain harshly to make her fall flat
on her
face. “NOW!”

Scurrying to her feet, Nari hurried to catch up
with the
angered demon. She refused to back down as she was dragged out of the
fox
demon’s room and down the hall to the main room. As they were making it
down
the stairs, Yoko Kurama’s palm met with Nari’s bare back, forcing her
to fall
down the stairs. Bringing her hands up to try and lessen her fall, Nari
tumbled
down the remainder of the stairs before falling upon her front harshly
there in
front of a few loitering demons that found the display rather amusing
as they
mocked and ridiculed her.

Yoko Kurama walked steadily down the steps knowing
that Nari
couldn’t move after a hard fall on her fragile form. Standing there
before her,
he reached down for her chain once again so as to keep her still while
he
grabbed a rose from his silver hair. “You think you will be rescued, do
you?”
The fox demon wondered aloud as he thrashed the rose down to call out
the whip
Nari had come to fear and tremble upon since she first encountered it.
“Well,
it’s time you get those ridiculous thoughts out of your head.”

The whip the demon held cracked as the thorns tore
away at
Nari’s skin once again leaving more marks upon her scarred flesh.
Clutching her
teeth and fists, she tried her hardest not to scream. She dared not
give the
demon the satisfaction of hearing her cry in agony and pain but the
thrashing
of the whip and the ripping of her skin was too much and a cry of
displeasure
eventually escaped her trembling lips. “AAH!”

The marks accumulated over the long, horrible time
her skin
was brutally torn apart. Her crimson blood blended with the equally red
carpet
beneath her as the demons nearby could only point and laugh at the
worthless
human getting what she deserved. Some slaves were within the room
turned their
heads upon the sight not able to watch it. Felix was among one of the
few and
he could only hide his glare at his jeering mistress that kept a firm
grip on
his chain while the cracking of the whip recoiled off the walls.

Yoko Kurama continued his ruthless assault upon
Nari before
finally stopping once he added a thirtieth bleeding mark upon her back.
Kneeling
down, he cupped her chin so she wouldn’t hit the ground to sleep off
the attack
whilst breathing within her ear. “Understand this now that there is no
way you
will be able to escape from here. You are immortal, you bitch, and
immortals
won’t be allowed back on earth. You are stuck here until you die.”

Having that being brought to her attention, Nari
also
recalled the time Kuronue said Okuro would not be allowed on earth
being a half
demon as he was. It pained Nari worse than the marks she received from
the rose
whip. Closing her eyes, she dared not look at her surroundings as they
began to
spin from the exhaustion she was feeling no thanks to the blood she was
now
losing.

Yoko Kurama cared less as he released her chin to
let her
head collapse to the floor below. Looking out at those nearby, he
merely nodded
to them as he kept the chain in his hands. “Whoever wants this useless
bitch
can have her. Those of you, who are eager for another type of action,
come with
me.”

Nari’s fingers moved slightly as she lied there
upon the
blood stained carpet. Moaning in misery, she looked up best she could
at three
loaming demons that looked to be male from what she could see with her
hazy
sight. She could feel foreign hands touching of her bleeding body that
made her
sick to her stomach but she had no energy to express it at the time.
Nari
wished that she would just die as she was lifted from her spot there on
the
floor and moved off to the side like a rag doll.

A painful slap was dealt to her cheek as she
remained there
upon the floor. Blinking her eyes open, Nari tried to focus on the
continual
swirling atmosphere. The demon that was responsible for the slap had
dark gray skin
with pure white hair that was tied back in a low ponytail. His eyes
were a
piercing blue and the rest of him looked relatively normal aside from
the fangs
she could just see jutting from the corners of his mouth. The mouth of
the pure
white haired demon touched her own, and Nari was forced to kiss him.

She was so exhausted and incredibly numb from the
pain that
Nari collapsed there upon the floor. She could feel them continuing to
feel of
her and releasing upon her just as a way to mock her further and make
her feel
worthless. Their horrible laughter rang within her eardrums regardless
of how
distorted it sounded. The demon’s hands were continuing to creep all
over her
and they began to enter her harshly with their engorged members both
vaginally
and anally. Managing a strangled cry of pain, Nari remained there being
horribly treated by the three sexually hungry demons. Not able to stand
the
feel of the beasts touching her the way they had been, she turned her
head off
to the side and vomited what was left within her stomach before passing
out
there on the flooring.

Nari’s body was sore and stayed within the main
hall, tied
up on the staircase’s banister until her master was to return from the
raids he
had been performing. Her vaginal walls bled from the forced sexual
action
performed upon her and her thighs ached every time she dared to move.
Smelling
and covered with demonic release she cared not to remove due to
weariness, she
stayed there upon the floor whimpering in her own misery for nobody to
hear. I want to go home, Nari pleaded within
her own tears she shed without a care to hide them. I want
to go home to my mother and father…they weren’t perfect, but
their imperfections cannot compare to this hell…

The creaking of a door opening and the sound of
someone
walking down the stairs she rested at the bottom of caught Nari’s
attention as
she tried her best to wipe her tears of pain away. She dared not allow
a demon
to see them as she remained there at the bottom of the steps, awaiting
what
other harmful words or actions would be placed upon her at the coming
demon she
thought was walking down the steps. But the more Nari listened to the
footsteps, the more she realized that they were rather mousy and quiet
and not
bold and daring like most demons were even at night. Turning to look up
at the
stairs, she made out a female outline in the darkness of the mansion
that
loamed over the building’s main entrance room.

“Are you okay?” The female asked quietly as she
made her way
down to the only moonlight there in the room to show who she was.

Nari looked up at the battered woman to see the
stringy,
strawberry blond that towered over her shakily. She recognized the
woman and
was surprised to see her standing there before her. “Sara…what are you
doing
out of your master’s room?”

Sara embraced her trembling body as she looked up
at the top
of the stairs before eying Nari with a quick shake of her head. “…I saw
what
they did to you…and I am sorry…”

Embracing her legs that Nari brought to her chest,
she
couldn’t help but sigh a bit bitterly. “Why do you care now, Sara? How
can you
with the many years you have been here?”

Sara got to the bottom of the stairs as she sat on
the
bottom stair near Nari where she could eye the unknown woman
cautiously. “I
know what it is like for you to be where you are. To be humiliated in
public,
to be beaten and wish to die but you never do, to be scratched, nearly
bled to
death, released all over, pissed on…you tend to go numb from the inside
out and
just not care anymore because the coming day will be just like the
last….”

Nari sniffled a bit as she nodded at Sara whilst
she rubbed
the tears from her eyes. “It’s almost becoming hard to care for my son
lately.
I have been so selfish just wanting to die before his eyes and leave
him here…”

“Hmmm, how you can care for him period is a
mystery to many
of the slaves,” the elder woman announced as she scratched her unevenly
cut
hair. “Nobody here could care for a child that came from one of those
monsters.
There are many that are relieved to have their children torn from them
and
thrown out to die.”

“You make us sound worse than our masters and
mistresses,”
Nari expressed with disgust.

Sara said not a word to that. She knew if she ever
had a
child by her master she would be beyond horrified and want the baby out
of her
sight. She felt demons, regardless of how they were brought up, were
horrible
creatures and that Nari’s son would eventually turn on the woman. But
Sara
dared not voice her opinion as she sighed through her nostrils. “Why
were you
punished…?”

“I was—I told my master that I would find a way to
escape,”
Nari explained softly. “There are demons outside of the mansion
watching Yoko
Kurama and working under some guy named Koenma and I am praying that
will be
our way out.”

“Koenma,” Sara seemed to think as she looked at
the double
doors that led in and out of the mansion. “I think I have heard of him
before.
He is said to be the ruler of Spirit World where people who die go. He
also
watches over the three worlds: Spirit World, Human World, and Makai.”

Turning towards the eldest slave, Nari tilted her
head
slightly at Sara. “So—he is God?”

“You could say that,” Sara answered. “But, he’s
really the
son of ‘God’. He decides who goes to heaven and who goes to hell.”
Looking at
Nari once more, Sara shrugged slightly there in the darkness. “You’re
part Japanese;
didn’t your parents tell you that?”

Nari shook her head as she moved her messy hair
out of her
face, “My dad is Japanese but he was born in the United States. He
never told
me anything about Japan, so I don’t know a thing about all this crap.”
Lying
down on the nearest step, Nari watched the double doors closely
wondering when
they would open and fearing the time they would. “It sounds to me that
Spirit
World would be a lot better than living here…”

“Well,” Sara began with a nervous sigh, “since we
are both
immortal…we will have no choice but to live there…”

Hearing such a thing made Nari snap her head in
Sara’s
direction, “What—what...! What about going back home? Why can’t we just
go
home?”

Cupping her face, Sara shook her head as she tried
her best
to hide her tears that threatened to come almost spontaneously. Her
hands
pulling away from her face, she managed to look at Nari though the
tears she
didn’t want to shed though crept down her bruised cheeks. “Would you
really
want to go back to a world and show your indignity to anybody who dare
look at
you? Look at yourself!” Sara ordered in a whisper. “You have scars all
over
your body and you will never look or feel the same. This place does
things to
you…we have all been beaten and raped of our humanity and no matter how
many
years we live…we won’t be able to escape what we endured here.” The
woman’s
hand pressed against her chest gently as she tried not to fall to the
floor in
heaping sobs. “I—no longer feel like a human being. I feel like I
deserve to
die and I should just spend my coming years up in Spirit World with
Koenma and
the others…at least then I can remain up there away from any ridicule
the Human
World would give me as well as live away from the hell that is Makai.”

Nari covered her face with her bruised hand not
able to think
on that option even if it would be better than Makai. She wanted to go
back to
Human World even if part of her would no longer feel human. “I don’t
know…I
just want to go home…I want Okuro to grow up with me.” Pausing, Nari
wiped her
teary eyes as she thought on her son that had been left in her master’s
room. “I
want Okuro to come live with me period…I have nobody to watch him when
it comes
to Makai.”

Pushing herself off of the stairs, Sara turned to
head back
up them so she could get back to her master and not be caught. “I wish
you
luck…on whatever you do,” she whispered while heading to the top of the
stairs.
“I have to leave now. My master will wake sometime soon and if he
doesn’t find
me in the room…he will abuse me worse than yours does…” Sighing as her
fingers
tapped upon the railing of the staircase, Sara looked back down at Nari
as she
rolled her teeth over her chapped lower lip. “And—I hope you are
right…in that
we will all be saved. I don’t want to be here anymore either.”

Nari watched as Sara headed back up the steps to
the second
level where she took one of the doors on the top right, leaving her
alone in
the room once more to wait for her master to return in peace. “I hope I
am
right too,” Nari whispered to herself as she lied back out on the
bottom step.

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

As the leaves threatened to fall for autumn Nari
became
worried that she wouldn’t find the Makai plants she would need in time.
She had
been constantly watched and locked up within the fox demon’s room
lately and
the smell of winter was soon drifting upon the air. It made Nari
further
nervous as she sat in the dinning room with her master and a few other
slaves
and demons nearby. She eyed the window that rested just over her
shoulder and
every discolored leaf that fell made her heart threaten to drop into a
panic.

If I don’t get one of those
plants Suzuka listed for me, I will be in trouble, Nari thought as
she sat
next to her master with her heart beating wildly. I cannot
stand staying here another six months…

Yoko Kurama continued eating the meal before him
as he eyed
the window himself to see the weather changing. Eating the meat there
on his
plate, he shifted his legs slightly to show his agitation in being
watched still.
The coming months had not been any easier as he was hoping the demons
he felt
mostly around nightfall would leave him be. “They’re still out there,”
he
muttered mostly to himself.

Suzu the snake demon was right next to the demon
as she
heard his words. Her dark eyes looking out the window Yoko Kurama was
eyeing,
she looked over at her leader with a bit of concern. “What is the
matter, Yoko
Kurama?” She dared to ask.

“Those demons are still out there somewhere,” he
announced
to the curious snake demon as he sipped the drink in front of him.
“Tonight I
want to take care of those annoyances. If they want to play Koenma’s
dogs, they
will die as such.” Yoko Kurama could feel Nari’s eyes resting upon him
as he
said such making the demon eye his immortal slave there beside him.
“Get up and
get me more wine, you lazy bitch,” the demon ordered as he shoved his
glass in
Nari’s face.

Taking the crystalline glass that was within
inches of her
face Nari got to her feet and limped to the back of the room where the
food and
beverages were located. Filling up the demon’s dry glass carefully, she
sighed
through her nostrils at what a perfect time that would have been to
poison him
as she filled it close to the brim. Heading back to her master, she
presented
him the glass with her head lowered.

Yoko Kurama took his drink without a word to Nari
except for
the motion that he wanted her to sit.

Nari did so and took her seat back there upon the
floor. She
remained there until her master was through eating and was hauled off
back to
his bedroom without warning. Due to recent abuses, Nari had a difficult
time
walking and couldn’t stand to walk on her right foot so she was forced
to drag
her hurting foot or hop on the other. Flinching from the pain that shot
up her
leg, Nari managed to make it to the fox demon’s room where she was
quickly
tossed inside like nothing at all. There she rolled upon the floor
before
landing on her side where she tried to heft herself up to at least rest
on her
buttocks.

Yoko Kurama remained at the doorway as he pointed
at Nari as
if to keep her still from where he stood. “You will remain in here
until I get
back. If I find you have moved, I will add more marks to that body of
yours.”
With that said, the fox demon shut the door behind him to head off to
raid
seeing as the demons that were usually there didn’t come around until
nightfall.

Nari remained where she was sitting though she was
desperate
to get outside to get the plants she needed to knock out the demon or
poison
him. “I guess I will wait for awhile before trying to head outside.
Fall is
almost here…I need to get those plants Suzuka described to me.”

The time passed rather slowly as Nari waited
anxiously there
on the floor with her son resting upon her right thigh. When she felt
she had waited
long enough, Nari gently placed Okuro upon the carpet beneath them
before
limping to the door. Opening it cautiously as she had done in the past
without
getting caught, she hurried down the hallway to try and make it to the
front
quietly.

As she turned the corner from the hallway in the
back where
Yoko Kurama’s bedroom was located in seclusion, Nari looked about the
front
curiously and for any signs of demons. Alright,
alright, Nari thought as she took in deep breathes to try and
settle
herself. All you have to do is rush out,
snag a plant or so, and make one of the potions Suzuka had
instructed…easy…oh
yeah, right, very easy. Her thoughts were getting full of doubt as
she
remained there hidden in the corner watching the area for the slightest
activity.
God, I pray I make it back in time…! Regardless
of her one foot being damaged, she hurried quickly down the stairs and
to the
double doors to make her way outside with her heart racing as she did
so.

When her feet met with the grass and dirt outside,
Nari
never felt so far from home. She knew she wasn’t supposed to set foot
outside
and the further away she traveled from the mansion, the more nervous
she
became. Pulling out the slip of paper she kept tucked away in her neck
shackle,
Nari looked at the plants listed and what each one combined or alone
could
make. “Okay,” she whispered to herself as she eyed the parchment, “how
am I
going to kill this demon?”

Her eyes scrolling down the list before her, Nari
stopped
looking when she caught the description of a flower she remembered
seeing just
down the river where Yoko Kurama’s band agreed to meet up so long ago
it seemed
nestled near the lake. It was a red type flower with black tipped
pedals that
was mostly found near water. Suzuka knew that if the pollen was placed
into any
liquid it would dissolve and be near impossible for a demon to smell
though
deadly to a demon of any class. The problem with that, however, was the
area
was quite far from the mansion.

“I guess I have no other choice,” Nari sighed as
she dared
to hurry to the spot she vaguely remembered being at.

Hurrying towards the thick forest that was dead
ahead, Nari
stayed close to the river to follow the water to the other waterfall
that would
be resting at the end of it. She felt terrified as she was not only
human in a
demon’s world, but she was also injured and the ability to run away
from any
attacker would be difficult. But Nari had had enough and was willing to
be
mauled by any demon just to get what she needed to have it all end.

As before when she was pulled through it, the
forest seemed
to last forever. She felt her chest pain her with worry as she hurried
as
quickly as possible through the woods that made every hair on her arms
stand on
end. Sounds that made her knees weak echoed throughout the afternoon
hours as
she tried to find the end to the forest that had engulfed her. Her
hands
pushing away at bushes and tree limbs, Nari eventually found the large
clearing
around the waterfall and surrounding body of water. For safety, she
remained
within the bushes nearby to look around the clearing and make sure
nobody else
was around as she eyed the flower she would need there near the
riverbank with
a few others growing nearby.

With nobody around but her, Nari was quick to
hurry over to
where the flower was growing to pluck a few to use. “Okay, so all I
have to do
is sprinkle this stuff in his drink and he’ll be poisoned? Must be one
hell of
a flower.” Pausing for a moment, Nari began to wonder where she could
hide the
flowers until the time presented itself to where she could give it to
the
clever demon in his next drink. I can’t
just carry this around…Yoko Kurama knows all there is about plants here
in
Makai and in Human World. He would know what this is without question.

Not having the time to really think much further
on it, Nari
quickly gathered all she could and rushed back towards the mansion. She
knew
she couldn’t debate what to do there out in the middle of Makai. Nari
feared
being caught by the fox demon at that moment as she tried her best to
beat him
back to the mansion with the flowers she hoped would save her. Her
bruised and
injured feet managing to get her back towards the mansion, Nari made
her way
towards the front of the building to check inside through the arched
windows up
front to see if any of the demons were inside.

Her fingers gripping onto the windowsill, she
gazed within
the inside of the mansion cautiously to find it as empty as it was when
she
left. Making her way to the double doors, Nari quietly opened them to
allow
herself inside. The area empty just the same when she entered, she
closed the
doors behind her only to be surprised by another opening within the
first floor
main room. Startled and breathes becoming labored, she pressed her back
against
the wooden doors in fright until seeing who was coming from one of the
many main
room doors.

“Nari,” Candy, her old stall neighbor called
quietly, as she
hurried over towards the startled woman. “I am surprised to see you
alive after
all the hell that happened. What are you doing with flowers?”

Looking down at the red flowers with black tipped
pedals in
her hands, she eyed Candy who was heading towards her. “I was told the
pollen
of this flower will kill any demon when put inside of any liquid they
will
drink. It’s called The Devil’s Tongue or so I was told by that demon,
Suzuka.”
Peeling herself off of the doors her back rested against, she headed
over to
Candy to meet her halfway. “And what are you doing out of your room at
this
hour? Your master will punish you severally.”

Candy couldn’t help but chuckle a bit on the back
of her
hand with a shake of her head. “Yoko Kurama left with all his members
to raid
and so nobody is here but us, the worthless slaves. Besides, you’ve
started a
revelation in sneaking out. I guess your boldness is contagious.”

Nari managed a brief smile but that quickly turned
into a
serious frown as she looked down at the flowers within her hands. “I am
worried
though…I don’t know what I am going to do with these flowers until I
find the
opportunity to use them.”

“Well,” Candy began as she raised her hand
slightly, “why
not try putting it in their wine and beer while they are away right
now? They
down that crap after every successful raid. I am no expert, but I am
sure it
would last in the liquids till then.”

Her fingers gripping onto the flowers within her
hands, she
sucked in her lower lip in thought before deciding. “Alright, I’ll do
that.
Care to help me?”

Candy and Nari both hurried into the dinning room
area with
the flowers that Nari had managed to collect. The two women made it to
the alcoholic
drinks that the demons had situated in the back of the room and were
going to
drink when they came back from their outing. Pulling out the flowers,
Nari
started to sprinkle the loose pollen within the wine bottles she
managed to
open with Candy’s help.

“Is that all we have to do?” Candy asked as she
watched Nari
carefully with a few of the flowers in her hands. “All we have to do is
put the
pollen in the drinks and it’ll kill them?”

Nari could hear Candy’s doubt as she continued to
do as she
was instructed to do with the flowers she plucked. “I am just as
doubtful that
a flower can do such a thing, but this is Makai…everything is dangerous
and I
wouldn’t doubt the plants can be too. Trust me, my master has shown me
that at
times.”

“Let’s pray this works,” Candy sighed as she
continued to
help her old stall neighbor.

Nari removed the cork on a beer bottle in the room
as she
had seen the demons do before and other slaves as well to get the
pollen inside
of every beer bottle present. “Please do,” Nari insisted as she filled
the last
one quickly before putting the cork back in. “Because if this doesn’t
work, I
will be killed or my son will…”

It was storming once again when night crept back
over Makai.
It seemed to be routine now for it to storm when the darkness set in.
Nari
comforted her son as he lied there upon her bare thighs while she
waited for
her master to return from his daily thievery to keep himself from being
bored.
She was nervous and yet, in a sense, relieved feeling that this might
be the
last day she would spend there in Makai. Turning to look over at the
clock that
hung above the fireplace in the bedroom, she saw that it was nearing
eleven
o’clock. Biting her lower lip, Nari wiggled her foot in anxiousness as
she
continued to pet her son’s head gently.

Please let this be the
end of it…I want to get that bastard back for all he has done to me,
Nari
growled as she scrunched up her face in utter anger.

A little after eleven, the door did indeed open
and the
soaking wet Yoko Kurama stood there with a miniature chest of some kind
held
there underneath his arm. The chest was crafted in polished wood and
the edges
and such in gold. As the demon made his way inside, he placed the item
upon the
bed so he could open it to see what was inside of it. Whatever was
there
obviously placed a smile upon his face as he shut the box and turned
his full
attention to Nari and Okuro there on the floor.

Nari kept a close watch on Yoko Kurama while he
made his way
over towards her. There was something in his expression that set her
off and
startled her but she didn’t say a word as she remained where she was on
the
hardwood floor.

Yoko Kurama knelt down in front of Nari so he
could grab
onto her chain and look the torn woman in the eyes. “Come with me,” he
insisted
as he tugged upon the chain within his grasp. “Leave the runt here and
you come
with me.”

Getting to her feet best she could, Nari limped
after her
master as she left her son there on the carpet at least before leaving.
She
wasn’t sure what was going on, but she followed after the silver fox
demon
regardless down the halls and to the dinning room where she saw that
some of
the drinks she had laced with The Devil’s Tongue had already been
taken, obviously
by the other demons. The wine was still left there from what she could
see at
the double doors as soon as they entered and hope began to swell up
within Nari
as she was pushed inside of the dining room—the place empty, except for
them
both.

The dangerous demon took a seat at the very end of
the table
before handing the chain over to Nari. “I want you to go and get me
something
to drink. I need to speak with you.”

Confused by his actions, Nari did as she was
asked. She took
her chain within her hands while limping to the back where the wine was
sitting
in a bottle that she had previously opened to put the deadly pollen
within it. Closing
her eyes tightly, Nari prayed for a moment that all would work out for
her as
she opened the bottle to pour a decent bit within a fine crystalline
glass to
take back to her demon master. Once it was filled up enough, Nari
headed back
towards Yoko Kurama slowly so as not to spill a drop before placing it
there in
front of the demon.

Taking his glass of wine, Yoko Kurama placed it
down in
front of him before motioning awkwardly to the open seat next to him.
“Sit,” he
ordered firmly as he observed Nari.

Nari expressed her confusion in his behavior as
she was
normally ordered to remain on the floor at all times seeing as she
wasn’t
considered of high class to sit within any chair. But she knew not
listening to
him would result in punishment and so, Nari took the empty chair
quickly. Her
hands folded in front of her, she tilted her head slightly. “Master…?
Why do
you allow me to sit here?”

The silver haired demon pressed his fingers
against the
glass before him as he looked at his reflection there within the
tainted wine
glass. “I often wonder about humans sometimes. They can be quite
obedient if
you beat them just enough into submission, but, over time, they will
grow hard
and daring.” As Yoko Kurama turned his head to look at the nervous
Nari, he
narrowed his eyes a bit at her as if to interrogate her with his glare.
“Tell
me, have you been sneaking out even after the time Yomi once caught
you?”

Nari felt her heart race into a blinding speed as
she lost
her breath at his question. She feared what the demon would now do if
he ever
knew she had been sneaking around. But the more she sat there, the more
she
feared being found out due to her hesitation in answering. “I—I don’t
know what
you’re talking about.”

“Do you honestly think I am STUPID!”
Yoko Kurama exclaimed with a furious growl as he threw the
crystalline glass in Nari’s direction. The glass just missing the
frightened
woman shattered upon the wall with the red wine slipping down the
woodwork
steadily. The fox demon rose out of his chair as he glared down at Nari
who was
quick to get out of her chair and back up with the slowly oncoming
demon. “I
know you poisoned those drinks in the back and now, thanks to you, I
have lost
the rest of my members!”

Nari continued to back up best she could as the
demon loomed
over her angrily. “But that is impossible! That stuff I used was
supposed to be
odorless!” She finally blurted out in fear while rounding the end of
the table.

“I saw the bottles had been tampered with when I
went to get
a drink and I tested what was left myself to find a foreign substance
within
it,” Yoko Kurama explained with his ears flat against his head. “Now,
you are
going to pay for that. I don’t care if it is with your life or with
your son’s
but one of you will pay for your boldness!”

Regardless of her foot being injured and her
inability to
think thanks to the fear of death for herself and son, Nari hurried
towards the
other door in the room to try and escape the infuriated demon.
“Alright,” Yoko Kurama hissed with a shake of his
head, “if
this is how you want it, I am game. I will track you down within this
mansion.
There is nowhere you can hide.” Reaching within his hair, the demon
pulled out
a few seeds that began to steadily sprout and wrap about the demon’s
arm.
“There is nowhere at all you can hide.”
