Summary:
What he saw broke him. What he heard hit him hard. Death seemed like
the only way to escape his pain. But when Koga arrived to grant him
his wish, he didn't want to die, and only wanted to be held and
comforted. And Koga was doing both with his words. "I was ordered
to kill you…" "I don't want to die…" "Then come with
me."
Now,
he'll do anything and everything his savior says.

while. Song: Famous Monster: Saliva. lyrics

Dear
heavenly father please forgive us
For we know not what we do

"I hope you know why we brought you here?" a cold voice said, its face covered by a shadow, the only thing visible where its lips.
A man with brown hair looked up at the one who spoke. There where two in front of him. Through they both looked feminine, he knew in fact that only one was and that the other was a male. Upon further squinting of his eyes, he could see a faint outline of silver hair. Both demons had it, so he assumed that they where related.
"I do." Came his answer, "I would feel more welcomed if my arms where not bound- Lord Sesshomaru." He said, looking into the golden eyes that appeared. He saw them dart to his captor and with the shuffle of large feet, his arms where released.
"In knowing why you where brought here, you must understand what we want you to do." The other being said her voice cold, but not as cold as the man sitting at her right. She sat forward in her seat to reveal her golden eyes; they seemed to want to pierce through his soul.
The man said nothing and lowered his gaze, he had heard rumors about this demon, he just never thought they where true. He never thought that she was still alive, for he believed that she was killed when she was found guilty of adultery.
"Are you not answering because you do not know?" the female asked.
"Answer Koga, Prince of Wolves, or suffer the consequences." Sesshomaru ordered deadly.
Koga looked up at them, "I understand that I am to kill him. But why I do not understand is why? He has done nothing wrong. Defied no orders." he shook his head, he didn't fully understand why, but wasn't about to ask.
The female demon leaned forward making her silver hair fall over her shoulders. "He has done quite enough. He needs to be killed!" she snapped, leaning back into the shadows.
Koga sighed, "Do you not believe that death is too strong of a punishment?" he asked.
Sesshomaru raised a delicate eyebrow, "What are you suggesting?"
Koga looked at him with determination, which caused the Lord to smirk at. "Give me two nights. If I cannot get him to leave his humans, I will kill him. Who knows, maybe he's just waiting for some one to come and take him away."
The two dog demons exchanged looks, "Two nights. The morning of the third, if you are to succeed I want a letter. If you are to fail, I want his head on a plate." Sesshomaru growled dismissing him.
Koga bowed his head, stood and walked out of the castle. Once out side he let his shoulders sag and let out a deep sigh. After taking a few moments to collect him self, he took a deep breath through his nose and was able to catch the sent of his prey coming in from the northeast.

The boy with silver hair dropped to the ground completely devastated. He couldn't believe what had happened. A few nights ago he and the girl had another one of their petty fights. Like always she went home, and after waiting a few hours, he went after her. When he arrived at her house, he was informed that she was sleeping over at her friends' house. Shuddering at the thought of tracking her down only to get yelled and sat, he turned around and went back to his time.
Look
at your life
Look at the way you slip and slide
Walking around, he spotted the familiar soul collectors that belonged to his un-dead love. His heart soared seeing her, knowing she was still ok. But as he waked closer, another was with her. The wind catching their scent he could smell Naraku. And then mere seconds later, the demon showed up, wrapped his arms around her form and they kissed. He didn't see his old love pull back, nor try to get away. What he did saw made his heart crack. He saw her wrap her arms around his neck and deepened the kiss.
Not being able to take it any longer, he ran from the sight and jumped back into the well, to which he stayed until morning. He woke up to voices, one sounding like Kagome's and the other to a boy he only met once. He opened the doors and what he saw sent his heart shattering to the ground. His eyes widened and jaw dropped. There was Kagome kissing another boy willingly. Turning his head away sharply he dove back into the well and ran to the comforting branches of his tree.
Look
at your time
Look at the ones you've left behind
The girl arrived moments after he had jumped into his tree, she couldn't see him as he hid on the other side of the tree. He stayed there for most of the day. He couldn't hear them when they called him down fro lunch that day.
Soon, that very same girl that broke his heart came by, with her hands on her hips, she began to accuse him of being 'impossible' and 'antisocial'. He didn't answer and let the insults pass.
"What's wrong with you!?" she screeched throwing her hands up in the air exasperated.
He looked down at her with emotionless eyes and remained silent.
"You come down here right now InuYasha! Or I'll make you come down." She threatened.
He shook his head and closed his eyes.
The girl growled frustrated, "InuYasha… Sit Boy!" she screeched.
His eyes widened as he was pulled forcefully from his tree and into the ground below. When the spell lifted, he slowly sat up looking at her devastated.
Look
at your eyes
The haunted black circles of your plight
But you
can get bye
His eyes widened in fear as the Prince of Wolves appeared from out of the surrounding trees. His sword that he never used was drawn. He didn't know whether to protect Kagome or attack right away.
Though in killing you might take one more night
--
Koga stepped out of the wood and walked up to InuYasha, his rarely drawn sword drawn and the intent of spilling blood- his blood- in his eyes. He had once again witnessed him getting thrown to the ground and refused to do nothing about it. He saw him run after her after they fought. He saw everything, he had watched him for the past night; and this was the last straw.
'Cuz
you're a famous monster
You do what ever they offer
"What kind of demon are you? You think you lead, but you follow. You do what ever they ask you to. When she runs off, you run after, thinking it's your fault when it's hers. They're humans and you're a demon. Act like one." He growled hulling him to his feet only to push him back against the tree. Kagome cried out for him to stop and leave him alone. That only added to his rage.
You
tie their noose around your neck
And they throw you over
'Cuz
your a famous monster
The scream from the girl was heard all the way back to the village and soon her friends came running to the field; weapons drawn and ready. Koga turned to them and growled, jumping away from his prey.
Looking at him, he knew for some unknown reason he couldn't kill the demon. So, instead of killing, he'd mess with his head and make him come with him.
Koga took a few steps towards him, "I've been watching you InuYasha and you disgust me. You try to protect your humans, it's not right. Almost dieing for them too, disgusting. Humans are supposed to die. Demons aren't. I'm sick and tired of you trying to protect them.
"She's not even supposed to be a part of our world. And she, she's supposed to be dead. And him. Well, he'll be dead soon enough." He said pointing to each human, if breaking him was the only way for him to leave... so be it.
"What do you want me to do then?" he asked quietly, looking up at Koga with an emotion in his eyes that made him actually feel sorry for him.
"Run away with me my puppy. Run and I'll make you become that full demon you so badly want to be come." Adding in his dream was a smart move on Koga's part. If he could become a full demon, he wouldn't have anyone following him around. To make him do what he didn't want to. He'd be his own person.
InuYasha looked back at his human companions. Koga was right; he did everything they told him. He was no better than a common pet. And when he did do something wrong, he was accused of being to rough, or in Kagome's words, 'impossible' or, 'antisocial'.
"Did you know that you're famous InuYasha?" Koga added off handily.
InuYasha turned to look at Koga, "How?" he asked quietly.
"Both humans and demons alike want to kill you. They believe you're the one stirring up all the trouble with Naraku. They think that if you died, that Naraku will leave." Scare him into leaving. What ever it took. He didn't want to kill him in the end.
"Do you believe that Koga?" InuYasha asked.
"I don't have to. I'm the one they hired to kill you."
"Who did?" now he was interested.
"Your brother, your step-mother, your father. Everyone." He listed them off on his fingers.
"Most of them are dead." InuYasha pointed out.
"No, only your father, but we contacted him and wished for you to perish." He lied.
InuYasha looked at him shocked. That couldn't be possible
"Don't you see your so called 'friends' are killing you? If I don't, they will." This wasn't working; he needed to speed things up. He only had a few more hours.
InuYasha backed away from his friends. He didn't want to die. He noticed he was near Koga and moved away from him also; he didn't want to be killed.
"I don't want to die…"
"Then come with me. Away from these humans. Come live a life of a full demon. Rid your name from the hit list of every single being. Become InuYasha once more and not The Monster. You won't be remembered if you don't."
InuYasha moved closer to Koga, he felt scared, like a little child being bullied. All he wanted to do was live a life with out having to always run for it.
"InuYasha don't go with him! We need you to get the shards!" Kagome said in a controlling voice.
Koga wrapped an arm around InuYasha and pulled him close, "You don't need them…" he whispered in his ear.
Look
at your mind
Look at the strength you never found
InuYasha couldn't help but shudder. Koga was right in some ways. Since he began to travel with humans, he could feel himself loosing some of the life he had. Like they had an invisible tube running from his heart that was draining him of his life. It was as if he was on a leash. Then his eyes widened and his clawed hand reached to the subduing beads. Why hadn't he seen it before, he was just a pet to them.
"All you need is other demons to play with…"
InuYasha shook his head; no every time he was with a full demon they always wanted to kill him.
You
lean on your pride
The only friend that would never let you down
Koga sense his fear and whispered, "Can't you see?" he breathed into his ear. "They're controlling you. Remember that little half demon girl? Why didn't you get her to travel with you? Why didn't you stay to make sure she'd be ok? Why can't you look at them in the eye anymore?
"Think back, of all the things you did… was it out of your own free will? Of all the things that happened to you, was it because you where with humans?" he needed him to followed him willingly, or he would leave and this whole thing would fail.
InuYasha's eyes widened, he was right. If he hadn't been with Kikyo, none of this would have happened. He wouldn't have been pinned and he wouldn't have met Kagome and be treated like a house pet.
Koga grinned when he saw the dog demons' reaction.
"I can tell by your eyes that you've had enough. You haven't slept properly in years. I can tell by the way you fight. You fight making sure your humans don't get hurt, allowing the demon to hurt you. You'd be stronger if it wasn't for them." He ran his thumb softly under his eye.
Look
at the signs
Look at the way they stop and stare
They're
watching you die
"But…" InuYasha began but Koga shushed him, placing a finger on his lip.
"No. They enjoy watching you almost die."
InuYasha growled at the thought. "I don't want to die."
"They enjoy having you at their mercy."
"No InuYasha! That isn't true! Don't believe him!" the same girl cried.
"They enjoy telling you what to do."
And when you're gone it's like you were'nt even there
"Koga leave him alone!!" the man ordered.
He sent them a glare. "They love to see you fall into the ground. When other demons attack you. Or when the girl subdues you. Doesn't that hurt your pride?"
InuYasha couldn't help but nod.
"Why are you doing this?" he whispered.
"Too many demons have failed in killing you. So, they sent me. You need to die before you add more disgrace to the demons."
InuYasha turned around in Koga's arms and looked at him pleadingly. "I don't want to die…" he whispered
"I'm sorry, but you must. Unless you decide to come with me and leave these humans."
'Cuz
you're a famous monster
You do what ever they offer
InuYasha lowered his head onto Koga's chest, feeling fragile and unwanted. Koga placed a hand on InuYasha's head and ran his claws through his hair. "What is your decision? Stay here with them, be hunted, and known as a monster amongst your own kind. Or, will you come with me and become what you where meant to be?"
"Will you always be there?" he asked quietly.
Koga nodded, "I shall and I will show you what it is like to be a true demon."
InuYasha gave him a small smile, "I'd like that." He whispered bringing a hand up and taking hold of Koga's fur strap, not wanting him to leave with out him.
"Good. Now, we must do something about these beads." Reaching down, he grabbed hold of them and pulled them off. InuYasha sighed; it felt as if a weight was removed from his shoulders, causing him to snuggle into Koga's chest and enjoy his warmth.
"Now you are free of the humans."
You
tie their noose around your neck
And they throw you over
InuYasha smiled contently and Koga wrapped an arm around his waist.
"I shall be taking him away from you before you decide to put a tag and leash on him. Just because he has puppy ears, does not mean he's a pet. He is a demon. And demons are not pets. Come after him and you shall all perish. Let that be your warning."
'Cuz
your a famous monster
You do whatever they offer
You tie their
noose around your neck
And they throw you over
In a flash both Koga and InuYasha where gone, arriving at Koga's dens in mere hours.
"Now what?" InuYasha asked as he looked up at Koga, who stood in front of him as he lay in the furs.
"You are broken my puppy. And it is now my job to fix you."
'Cuz
your a famous monster
Famous monster...
