Messed Up

Anyways Ashi knew he couldn't beat them and didn't want anything to happend to anyone so he decides to cooperate with them and go along with them. They were nice enough to let Ashi say goodbye to the group, mainly because they didn't want the group to search them out thinking Ashi went missing. Ashi just told the group that he had to leave, but when Inu insisted on finding the reason why, Ashi told them that he had to go with some people for a while. He told them the name of the group but nothing more.

Inu didn't want Ashi to go because they had just started to for a 'brotherly' type bond. They were best friends and Inu didn't want to loose that. Sure Kagome was his best friend but he wanted a guy best friend, Miroku didn't count because he was a perv. He tries to stop Ashi but Ashi gets him to let him go. Ashi says goodbye and then reluctantly goes with the bad people.

Sesshomaru was not with the group when Ashi left them, he was out on patrol. He came back about 3 days after Ashi left to find his son gone. He wanted to ask the group where Ashiato went but figured he was just out and about running around for a while. When he didn't catch his scent for a while he knew something was up, that and Inuyasha's not so subtle forlorness. He was pouting a lot and seemed kind of put out. He finally questions the group as to the location of Ashiato and gets an astonishing surprise. The group told him that his son had left the group a couple days prior with a group called the(insert name).

Sesshomaru grew furious (inside his head, he showed no outward appearance other than a narrowing of his eyes) at this news. The people Ashi had left with where the people that had been invading his lands and were trying to take his thrown. He had been fighting them off and had thought he had finally gotten rid of them. He knew what they were doing(trying to get to him through his son, like a ransom thing) what he didn't know is how they knew of Ashi. The number of people who knew of him were very small and has sworn an oath not to say anything. He knew he had to put an end to these people before they did something regrettable.

Ashi is with the people for a little while, a couple weeks, or maybe a little bit longer, before the group comes and rescues him. This is what they find when they get to him. Sesshomaru had gotten to Ashi first and went off to fight the people that had 'captured' his son. The rest of the group find Ashi alone in a field battered and bruised.

Ashi had been with these people who absolutely hate him. they hate everything that he means. They try to strip him of all of that. His paw print marking is a symbol of his rank and house so they try to remove it. Paw prints are his own special symbol so they try to rid him of all of them. They take his kimono and slashed his forehead. They also declawed and defanged him to make him as defenseless as they could within reason. They also beat him regularly and put him to work. They also chopped off his hair but it grew back within just a couple hours. They tried to humiliate him and just hurt and scar him as much as possible.
