Golden Eyes

Scales started this whole mess, but he didn’t know the ending to it since once a demon started a change in the world it didn’t mean that it was in his control after it started. It was just replacing one enemy with another for entertainment. However, the results since they were reality didn’t mean it was going to be a pleasant ending for anyone.

Demons could not thrive without conflict and so they had to have bad in the world to balance the good. It was his turn, but he had only created the snake demon. Someone else must have brought in Naraku’s children or they were already there from Sesshoumaru’s last game.

“So you guys go around screwing up people’s lives on purpose?”

Kouga asked and Scales laughed.

“It doesn’t work that way kid. We can bring an evil being into the world temporarily, but that is about all we do. What they do and what we do about it during our hunt is up to us.”

Scales stated and Kouga was starting to understand.

“So this is just a hunt to you guys. It isn’t really a game.”

Scales laughed.

“To us hunting is a game. I introduced the lizard and snake demons though. Naraku’s children are a whole other ball game. I am assuming it is what was left over from Sesshoumaru not that it isn’t a challenge. Naraku was quite the clever foe.”

Sesshoumaru arrived with Inuyasha and Logan. Kouga was surprised that the son of Naraku was still alive. He sure had balls asking them for help.

Scales regarded the young son of Naraku. He was handsome enough and there was no negative flow of energy coming off of him. He would make a wonderful mid day snack.

Logan eyed the dragon warily and stopped.

“I am not going to be anyone’s lunch. That was not part of the deal.”

Sesshoumaru smirked at Scales.

“He won’t eat you as long as you keep yourself in line, but then again I am not sure. Scales has a unique appetite.”

Scales came forward and looked the spider up and down.

“So this is Logan. Pleasure to eat……. I mean meet you.”

The predator within Scales purred at the sweet smell of prey.

“Uncle Scales, give the guy a break.”

Inuyasha grumbled as he looked at Kouga who just shrugged. He in some ways wanted to see Scales eat the guy.

“Well, of course……. How rude of me. Are you doing well, you look a little pale.”

Logan backed away from the dragon as he stalked him.

“Please…… I just need help.”

Scales had his prey against the wall.

“Of course you do.”

Scales ran the back of his claws over the lovely spider’s cheek as he cooed to him.

“Why else would you come to me…….so freely…….as if this was meant to be….”

At that Logan passed out. Scales laughed and Sesshoumaru smirked a bit. Inuyasha looked horrified and Kouga just stood there like this was the most normal thing to have happen.

“Leave him alone. We need to take care of the other spider. You can eat Romulus, but leave this one alone Marcus.”

Touga stated with a smile as he pulled his mate away from the little spider.

“But evil spiders don’t taste as good as sweet ones like this little boy. He is so damn cute too. I promise I would give him some pleasure before I devoured him and I would make it a quick painless death.”

“I am sure you would my dearest, but no.”

Touga scolded.

Scales was a bit put out, but he would of course have at least a taste of his pretty prey’s blood before the day was over for payment of services rendered.

“I don’t see why you won’t let him eat the bastard Father. He is just another filthy reminder of that bastard Naraku. I personally wouldn’t care if he did.”

Sesshoumaru stated irritated that they were even considering helping the spawn of that filthy Naraku.

“Sesshoumaru do not judge so quickly. One cannot control whose ones parents were and Logan is a good boy. He doesn’t deserve your wrath and neither does his sister. It is Romulus who is the problem child and therefore focus your energies upon him.”

Touga stated angrily. He knew why Sesshoumaru was pissed and it had nothing to do with the children of Naraku. It had to do with Inuyasha falling in love with Heather and wanting the woman alive once again so they could continue their courtship.

“Very well Father, just don’t expect me to be kind to them.”

Scales pat Sesshoumaru on the back.

“None of us expect that my boy.”

Sesshoumaru made an ‘Hn’ sound and just pouted at them all. He was pissed. He didn’t want to help anyone and fact was Inuyasha owed him a better explanation of why he should revive a bitch he had no intention of allowing Inuyasha to mate. That would mean accepting a liar into his family and he would not do such a thing.

Scales went to lift the tiny spider boy into his arms when Touga gave a warning growl.

“My darling mate, I swear I am not carrying this lovely child to eat him……..I made a promise to you. However I will not deny myself his scent or a small taste of him for our troubles. You owe me at least that concession and I will not take much.”

Touga nodded trusting Scales. The man was one who did not go back on his word.

As they waited for the boy to awaken Scales decided enough was enough. Biting into the boy’s wrist he moaned at the sweet flavor. It was indeed enough to awaken Logan.

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!”

Logan screamed trying to fight his way free of Scales as Scales chuckled a bit licking the wound closed.

“Now you are awake my dear. You taste exquisite, but my sweet tooth is now soothed. You have your life, but you will not faint again or I will take advantage of you once more.”

Scales stated as Logan pulled himself free.

“You bit me!”

Logan backed right into Sesshoumaru who growled down at the spider for touching his person.

“Watch where you are going……”

Sesshoumaru ground out moving away from the spider. Touga sighed at the lot of men who were supposed to be helping this poor child. Poor Logan was in for some hell.

“Young man, lead the way.”

Touga stated as Logan gathered his nerves knowing this was the only way to save his sister. Even if his life was forfeited in the end at least one of them would survive and it had to be Nadine.

*********************************************************************************

Bankotsu wrinkled his nose at the fact he had to go feed the spider demoness who was locked in the cement cell that her brother called his dungeon that existed under the house. It might have well been a dungeon. It was stinky, dark, damp, and a good place for a spider to hide in.

“Your meal.”

Bankotsu stated shoving the tray under the door. The dark haired woman was stubborn refusing to eat what was brought for her. She just sat in the corner in her webs eating whatever happened to crawl on them since she was certain that the food given to her was to kill her.

“You might as well eat it. If he wanted you dead you would already be so.”

Nadine didn’t reply and Bankotsu shrugged leaving her. He had better things awaiting him in another cell with much more opulent surroundings. Elizabeth was waiting for him and he would play the slave boy for her. She would feel pity, succumb to his seduction, and then she would succumb to his blade. It was indeed a good plan and he had to give Romulus some credit even if the man sickened him.

“Why do you serve him if you despise your master so?”

Nadine stated firmly although she refused to look at the dead mortal.

“He is not my master………I serve myself. He just gave me the opportunity to do as I please. If I die it will not be without some entertainment.”

Bankotsu stated with a smile.

“He will betray you as my Father did. You are no better alive than dead fool. You should escape while you can mortal.”

Nadine stated softly as she almost felt pity for the boy.

“Your concern for me is for nothing. You will not feel such things for me when I am done with you my Lady.”

“Perhaps not……”

Nadine stated softly as she shoved the food back.

“Bankotsu sighed and took the food. Eating it he smiled at the woman.

“It isn’t bad. I made it myself. Do you think I would eat poison?”

Nadine didn’t respond and Bankotsu could care less as he devoured the rest of the meal. Then he would greet his conquest. She who would give him a son, if he kept her alive that long……..
