Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha.


A/N: Wow, new update. And guess what? It happened again. I started chapter eight but it got deleted when I restarted my computer. BUT! We still have up to seven left. Which gives me more than enough time to re-do eight. The problem is I hit an art block while writting eight, I know what I want to write, just not how to write it.


Entwined Forever

Chapter Four

There, behind them, was Kagome. She was standing there with her bag dropped a little ways beside her, her mouth agape and her eyes focused on the both of them. InuYasha cursed and found that his voice was hoarse and that he didn't have much energy left in him. He made several feeble attempts to free himself from the tight grip on his wrists but couldn't get free. By each passing moment, every second his unwanted mate spent staring at the young miko child, the more InuYasha pulled and writhed. He kept pushing and pulling and twisting when, without warning, Sesshoumaru let him go, making him drop unceremoneusly to the ground. He was barely able to pull himself to sit on his haunches and look up.

His eyes widen as he saw Sesshoumaru stalk the miko slowly, snarling and keeping InuYasha away from view using his body. InuYasha tried to scream at her to get out of the way but all that came out was a small whisper. Rain started pouring relentlessly upon them, pounding the ground and wetting everything that it touched. It was mocking. Maybe it was the moisture or maybe it was simply by force of will, but InuYasha managed to somewhat shout at his friend. "Get out of Kagome! Go back to your time, run!!" The coughed a little, making him realise that the poison that had seeped into his blood had made his throat sore. Not counting on the fact that Sesshoumaru's tight grip had also helped into that.


Kagome's wild gaze searched around the tall body of the youkai that was slowly closing in on her and she gasped. She didn't know what to do, leave InuYasha here alone to fend for himself or run and save her own life? She heard him tell her to run and decided to do exactly that. She turned and started heading for the well but felt Sesshoumaru catch her collar and yank her to the ground where she quickly flipped and rolled to one side, dodging a blow. She got a scratch from catching on the male's claws but otherwise didn't care much. She got up to her feet once more but had to jump to the ground again to keep from getting beheaded. This time, she received a bigger gash accross her shoulder.

Kagome screamed and grabbed at her arm, trying and failing at making the blood stop from oozing out. She saw Sesshoumaru dash her way and felt his claws tear at her left thigh, making a rather large and deep wound that ran down to her knee. Tears sprang to her eyes as she cried out. She saw him come up to her as she sobbed and felt his hand come around her throat. The next thing she knew, she was flying through the air like a rag doll and hit a tree. She heard a loud snap and knew that she had dislodged her other shoulder and sprung an ankle. Her head was felt heavy and her vision was blurring pretty bad. She idly caught a small shimering light from the corner of her eye as she passed out on the forest floor.


Sesshoumaru walked slowly toward the quickly dieing girl that was passed out under a tree when he felt a small tug at his robes. He glanced around to see InuYasha on his knees, the only thing holding him up was the hand on his sleeve. He looked coldly at the top of his mate's head and knew what he wanted from him. "I will not tolerate any nuisance coming between us, InuYasha." With that said, Sesshoumaru pulled free from his brother's weak grasp and walked the rest of the way toward the girl. He heard a heart-wrenching wail coming from behind which only made him more angered as he raised his poison claws to the air. "You will have to learn that, one way or another, you are my mine and you will never disobey me!" And then Sesshoumaru slashed through Kagome's chest, piercing her heart and going clean through.


InuYasha let out another long wail as tear glisenend accross his cheeks, his spirit broken and his head spinning wildly. He shut his eyes as tight as he could, closing out the world and trying not to accept that Kagome was now dead. Dead by the hand of the only person he truly ever loved and all because of him. He never should have left that day. He lay on the ground, broken and sobbing, pounding his fists weakly into the ground as he heard his brother walking toward him slowly. He could smell the blood of the only woman who had ever accepted him and clutched the small bottle which held the only part of her he could keep. It had fallen from her neck when Sesshoumaru grabbed her and InuYasha found it when he had been pushed away. He felt the cold hands of the older male come around him and pull him upwards but couldn't bear to look him in the eye.

Sesshoumaru sat on his knees in front of InuYasha and pulled his weak body to his, waiting for him to look up at him. When the Hanyou didn't lift his gaze, Sesshoumaru pulled his chin up and saw the only thing he always had wanted to see, but didn't at the same time. Hatred. It was finally there. He felt struck by the look. Pure, hot, molten hatred. All of it directed directly at him. Even being stabbed in the heart wouldn't hurt so much. This was not a reaction he would have expected from the look. He thought he'd be satisfied, but he felt bad and miserable from it. He felt his beast claw at him, wailing and moaning. Sesshoumaru closed his eyes and let out a small shaking breath. He didn't know what to do anymore. But I had to do it... He thought.

He noticed that InuYasha had fallen uncountious from the shock and what had happenend earlier. Sesshoumaru picked him up bridal style, letting and head and arms dangle over his arms. He turned around to look over the dead body of the miko Kagome, watching as the falling rain soaked through her clothes and how she seemed to be eternally crying even in death. Sesshoumaru made a hard decision, one that might stop the torture to both him and his newly acquired mate.
