The Lost Dog Demon

Chapter 10

I felt like I was falling through darkness. I had no clue as to where I was, or the time. Was I even alive?

"You're going to make such a pretty doll." I heard the old man hiss as I felt a hand move some hair from my face.

I was alive still, but for how long? I forced my eyes opened and took in the sight. I was in a room, I glanced to the left and saw about five women sitting, or standing in different poses. They seemed real, but weren't moving. Were they victims of the doll maker?

"Ah! You're awake! I was hoping you would, before I start." he chuckled and I looked at the old man.

"W-why are you doing this?" I asked him a croaky voice.

"Because I'm all alone." he said, "And you'll make a nice addition to the family."

"Y-You're sick." I spat at him.

"Tsk, tsk, don't say such things." he said and my eyes went wide when I saw him bring out a knife.

I tried to move, but I couldn't. I felt straps over my ankles and wrist. I also noticed that couldn't move my fingers, toes, or neck. The only this I could is my head, eyes and mouth.

"What did you do to me?" I asked him.

"Just a little spell I know. I don't want you to move while I'm cutting and damage your skin." he said.

"Please just let go!" I told him as tears came to my eyes.

The old man chuckled and loward his knife to where my heart was. I closed my eyes tightly waiting for the pain to come, but instead of pain, and then nothing, a loud crashing could be heard from outside the doll makers home.

I opened my eyes when I heard the clank of the knife being placed on a wooden table.

"What is going on?" the old man muttered as he rushed over to a window.

He pushed a piece of cloth that was covering it back to reveal trees falling or melting. Melting trees? Could it be Sesshomaru?

I felt my heart beat rise as I thought about the dog demon coming to save me.

"You're in for it now old man." I said, "No one gets on Sesshomaru's bad side and survive!"

The old man turned from the window and glared at me. He walked over to where I was and grabbed the knife.

"If I'm going to die soon, I will make you my last doll, if it's the last thing I do!" he shouted and brought the knife down on my heart.

I let out a gasp as I felt the sharp pain of the blade and then I felt numb. My vision began to become blurry and everything I heard was becoming muffled as I fought for consciousness. I didn't want to die like this! What will Rin do once she learns I'm dead?

"Hehe! You're to late, I killed the woman!" I heard the old man shout and then a swish of blade.

"S-Sesshomaru you c-came." I muttered as I fell into complete darkness.

~Third Person P.O.V~

Sesshomaru looked down at the dead girl that he had promised to protect. He moved his hand to where the knife lead in her chest. He grabbed the hilt and pulled it out, dropping it to the floor.

He grabbed his sword, tenseiga, while looking at the dead girl that laid on a table with only a thin white kimono on. Sesshomaru felt something in his heart that pained him seeing the girl dead like that. With a quickly swing of his sword killing the demons from hell that was ready to take Kaori into the pit.

Sesshomaru cut the restraint on her ankles and wrists, before placing an outer piece of the kimono over her body. He picked her up and held her like a child in his arm. It was a good thing he had his demon strength or it would had been a problem for him to carry her like that.
