I swear upon my right to write that I will not write a lemon in this story. : ) : ) Now that that has been said and done, I must hank those who have reviewed my story from the very beginning until this moment, No it's not the end of this story so don't fret or cry because you thought it was. : ) : ) No crying! Heh, I love that line. : ) : ) Okay, time to enjoy this chapter. Yay violence!

Taken Over

'There's no way that this guy could have done that to her. She wouldn't have allowed him. Unless she truly did love him enough to let this demon have her, then she would never have wanted me!'

"You're a liar! Konin you used me! You claimed my body without my permission!" Tsuharu shouted pointing at the demon while taking a step away.

Konin stopped walking when he was pretty much in front of father.

"If you value your life, you'll leave now!" father growled with hatred.

"This isn't the western plains Sesshoumaru. Your presence does not frighten me," he said with a small smirk.

"You should watch what you say!" I growled hatefully, cracking my claws.

'Father won't take his words. His pride is too great to let one as so low to insult him.' Father quickly took hold of Konin's throat and lifted him slightly off the ground.

"So you do wish to die," father growled before starting to squeeze.

Konin showed no sign of fear and was thrown away.

"Semaru, I leave him to you. I'm sure that even you can defeat one like him."

'Father wants me to fight this demon?' I thought a little surprised. Konin continued to smirk as he got back to his feet.

"I see, so I get my chance to cut you out of the picture. Tsuharu, I hope you're ready to belong to me because once this worthless half breed is gone you and I will be together once again."

"A little confident don't you think?" I growled blocking his way to Tsuharu.

'I swear that I'll protect Tsuharu, no matter what the cost. Nothing will ever hurt her as long as I'm around!'

Tsuharu made her way over to my father, afraid of Konin.

"I will take back my woman and a half breed like you won't be able to stop me!"

I got ready to fight against him. 'I'll prove to father that I can be strong when I need to and protect Tsuharu from her fear!'

"Shut up and fight!" I growled, running at him.

"Why don't you make me?" he growled back.

I tried to attack him with my claws but Konin quickly dodged my attack. Several times I tried this but every time he moved away from me. "Damn this bastard! Release me! Let me kill this wretch!" I jumped into the air and summoned strength to use the whip. Like the last time, the colour was tainted red. Konin let it wrap around his wrist and then grabbed it tightly with the same hand. 'What is he doing? Why is he grabbing it like that?' I wondered a little confused.

"Fool," Konin whispered pulling me closer to him.

At that moment everything froze as I felt his claw stab into my stomach.

"Semaru," Tsuharu screamed with worry.

"Apparently she loves you, but the question is do you love her?" Konin said punching me across the face.

'Damn you to hell!' I thought as the whip disappeared. Again he punched me, only in the stomach this time, next to where his claw was.

I flew across the ground, rolling several times before stopping. As soon as I stopped I jumped to my feet and ran at Konin again. Slashing at his chest, four gashes appeared with blood coming from each wound.

"It's been a while since I've seen my own blood. It's rather surprising since you are a half breed!" Konin laughed with a mocking tone.

"That's all I am huh, just a half breed? I guess I'm never thought of as anyone's equal. There's always those people who think that we're lower than them, lower than the despicable bandits that kill for no reason. You think just like those people!" I growled punching him across the face.

He jumped backwards, away from me to keep some distance. 'I despise this demon! He claims to be higher than any demon or human. It disgusts me, especially since he violated Tsuharu without her say.' Becoming blind by rage I ran at Konin again, claws ready to make their move.

"You know what? You're right about those people, but only a half breed could think so lowly of them!" Konin started, jumping into the air.

"What," I growled, missing him.

"Humans and demons think you are lower than them because they know you have dirty blood. Their hate towards each other disgusts them when they see a child of both," he continued while landing and slashing me across my back.

'Dirty blood. That's all that flows through me! The blood of both the strong and the weak!' I thought while taking off my armor.

"Semaru what are you doing?" Tsuharu screamed at me.

"It's only slowing me down!"

"That's it, get yourself wounded enough to be weak!" I growled running at Konin. Punching him in the stomach I turned to kick him in the head. Without me noticing, his hand grabbed my ankle and stopped the kick before I hit him. 'What!'

"Again you are the fool!" Konin growled, throwing me across the ground.

I winced and when I opened my eyes his one hand was on my throat and the other was raised above me. 'Damn it!' My heart started to beat as I started to feel something I never had before.

"Now only death awaits the fool!"

"Semaru!" Tsuharu screamed running towards me.

Father grabbed he wrist to stop her.

"What are you doing!"

"Leave him be. It seems that Semaru is having a lesson of fear," father whispered with amusement.

'If I pass out, then my demon blood will take over me! I'll fade away and end up hurting Tsuharu.'

"What's the matter? Is the half breed afraid of his own demise?" Konin laughed, driving his claw into my right shoulder.

"Damn it!" I cried in pain.

He dragged his claw down across to my stomach.

"Semaru! God damn it Sesshoumaru, why won't you help him? He's your son, do you really want to stand here and let him die?" Tsuharu yelled with tears in her eyes.

"Tsuharu… I'm sorry… I wasn't strong enough to protect you," I whispered, looking at her as darkness started to consume me.

"No! Don't say that! You can make it Semaru!"

A small smile appeared on my face as everything went silent.

Konin laughed at me.

"It's funny really, how his death can make you cry like that. Now that he is out of the way Tsuharu, are you ready to become one with me once again?" he asked her while standing and reaching out a hand to Tsuharu.

"You bastard! I will never go with you!"

Tsuharu's eyes were drawn to my unmoving body as it started to pulse.

"Sesshoumaru won't protect you from me. He's a demon who hates mortals," Konin said with a laugh as he walked towards her.

Father let go of her wrist as Konin took a hold of her arm.

"Don't think that this is over. Semaru is not dead!"

Konin turned back to my pulsing body. My blood was still dripping from his claws.

"What the hell is with this wretch?"

Tsuharu ripped her hand away from Konin and hid behind my father, fearing what would happen. "Freedom is finally line. This is the final time I will ever have to listen to that half breed's voice."

Switching Personalities (Demon)

I dug my nails into the mud under me and pushed myself to my feet.

"Did you really think that I would die so easily?" I growled staring at Konin with my red eyes.

"I see, so you have a demon side as well."

"Now it's your turn to die, though I must thank you for getting rid of that half breed because now he will never return to the light again!" I cried running at Konin with my right claw ready to kill.

With a smirk on his face he tried to dodge my attack. Swiping my right claw across his chest and stabbing my left where his heart should have been, Konin fell to the ground. 'Too bad for him that he was the weaker. I would have enjoyed a rematch if it were to come to that!'

"Semaru," Tsuharu whispered with worry.

My red eyes were drawn to her as she spoke my name.

"Like I've said, the half breed is gone forever. Your voice can't reach him anymore," I replied looking at father.

"That's not true! Semaru can't be gone! He just can't!" she cried feeling more pain than she ever had before.

"Don't waste your breath. The only way to get Semaru back is to kill Fisher!" father said giving me a cold stare.

"Come to the cave Semaru! Shoron wishes to have a word with you." Fisher's voice said as an echo through the field.

"Damn," I whispered.

I hated the fact that fisher had called upon me at this moment because I would have had my chance to grab Tsuharu.

"Don't worry girl, I'll be back for you," I said running to the forest where the mountain was.

Running as fast as I could through the trees, I jumped over dead logs and stumps. 'Even with my freedom there are still chains bound to me as if I was the creature to be locked away!' I came to the cliff and quickly jumped up it to the second level of rock. Running across the wet rock as the rain continued to pour down on me, I came across the cave. Fisher took a step out of the darkness and looked at me with crossed arms. The fight with Konin had ripped my hoari in several places and blood stained the white on it.

"Why did you call me here? I was in the middle of something!" I growled with anger.

"So your demon blood is as hateful as I thought it to be. Good, because you will go into the cave and talk to Shoron. He needs to have a word," Fisher laughed.

'That gay bastard! What does he want?' I wondered while walking deeper into the cave. The smell of must and wet rock filled my nose. 'That smell is disgusting! It's worse than the scent in that cellar!' I shook my head to get it out of my mind. When everything became completely dark, a small fire lit one area of the cave. 'That must be where he is. Why have a fire in the middle of a cave if you're not there?' Taking a step I had kicked a rock with my foot. I ignored it and went on. The fire was glowing in an almost dead end area. Some rocks had blocked the other way through but if someone were ever small enough, they would make it through.

'What is this place? I don't like the scent in here!' I thought looking all over for any other walkway. Nothing but the rocks and fire could be seen. A hand was placed on my shoulder and it slightly felt it.

"So you actually came. Surprising, since I thought that the demon would be completely heartless," Shoron laughed before turning me around to face him.

"What the hell do you want? I have more important things to tend to than you!" I growled with completely cold eyes.

"As long as you're here, we work together. Everything that is to be done is with me at your side!" Shoron said with a taunting voice.

"Then I guess you would have to be there when I claim my woman, wouldn't you?" I said with mockery.

This only brought a laugh to Shoron. He found it amusing that I had said something like that. 'This bastard better not get in my way of having Tsuharu.' I thought with a growl at his laugh.

"There would be no time for that c\since it will be I who claims you!" he laughed, releasing me.

"If that's all you have to say then I'm going back to fighting for my woman," I growled about to walk away.

"Ah yes, if you know what's good for you, stay away from this spot when the fires not lit. For if you don't you could find yourself in a fight for your life!"

I walked back through the cave and when I had reached the outside I was relieved that the horrible scent had vanished. 'Who's that with Fisher? Didn't I kill that bastard?' Another growl escaped me as I ran at Konin.

"The fool shouldn't be so foolish. You thought you killed me, but my necklace will revive me every time I'm killed until it shatters. If you kill me now, I'll only be brought back."

'Damn him, that bastard!' I stopped and glared at Konin hatefully.

"That's right, you've already met Konin. He will attend you with your first killing!" Fisher said with a smirk.

"Good, then I can kill him too!" I growled, walking back out into the rain.

'Father would have started to walk now that that half breed isn't with him. They will arrive in about a day's time, maybe sooner. I will find Tsuharu before that. After my first kill I will disband from Shoron and that other bastard.' I leaned against the cool wet rock and crossed my arms.

"There's no need to wait. Go kill every living human in the first village you find!" Fisher said with a laugh.

Hearing that, I ran and quickly jumped off the side of the cliff.

Shoron heard the command as well and vanished from the cave.

"Let's go Shoron!" Konin shouted deeper into the cave.

"Don't waste your breath. Shoron has probably already left since Semaru has as well!" Fisher said looking out into the rain.

Konin shook his head and jumped off the cliff.

I landed on a lower cliff and jumped off it again, falling faster than the rain. I heard rocks hit the same cliff. 'How did they know I already left?' I turned around in the air and saw Shoron following.

"Go follow that bastard Konin!"

"You were the only one to ever scar my body. I will follow you so I know you can't leave Fisher's grasp!" he said jumping once more in the air.

Turning back around, I felt his hand on my back. Shoron was pushing me towards the ground.

"Get that our killings are like a game! Whoever kills the most wins and whoever kills the least gets to spend three days behind those rocks in the cave."

Hitting the ground, my body created a crater and Shoron jumped off my back.

"You bastard, if I get my hands on you in that village you're just as dead as Konin!" I growled pushing myself out of the muddy ground.

My clothes were covered with mud and the ends of my silver hair were as well.

"Kill more than Konin and you shall be fine. If you don't then three days will seem to drive you insane with trying to stay alive!"

I got to my feet and followed after Shoron as he walked towards the village.

'He thinks so highly of himself. What a fool to believe that I won't kill more than him!' I thought with a smirk of pride and amusement.

"Don't think that you can kill more than I. Even Fisher can't kill more than of those worthless humans!" Shoron said looking back at me.

"Whatever, I'm out of here!"

I jumped into a tree and jumped high into the air. 'That's the village we're going to.' I jumped from tree to tree by bouncing on the branches. I could hear Shoron running through the trees to follow me. 'Why the hell am I going around with Fisher? I'm free aren't I? With that half breed gone and being able to travel, shouldn't I be free instead of following orders from some other demon?' Taking land in the village I crossed my arms and smirked, watching the villagers who saw me as they cowered with fear in their eyes. Some of them laughed at my muddy appearance and others found it unwise. Shoron appeared from the forest with matted hair to his head and then Konin came out behind him. Konin's legs were covered in mud because when he jumped off the cliff, he landed in a large puddle.

"You vermin disgust me!" I growled, attacking the villagers.

"Come on Konin, let the game begin!"

The three of us went on a rampage, killing almost everything in sight. Only children had gotten away from me because something inside of me wouldn't allow their death. 'Damn, Semaru is still there. No matter. I have made him do certain things against his will, so I guess it's only fair!' I thought with a laugh. I chased after one man who decided to run away.

"Pathetic fool," I cried, calling out the whip.

The red coloured whip had cut him in half. Wet blood covered each claw and some had splattered onto my hoari sleeves. 'Thirty five!'

"How many Konin?" Shoron shouted after killing an old man.

"Twenty nine!"

"Thirty two! What about you Semaru?"

"None of your business!"

The whip appeared again and I killed two more men. 'These creatures disgust me! They're so weak and greedy. They're flesh doesn't heal fast. These humans are disgusting creatures!' I stopped for a second and sniffed the air, catching the scent of someone familiar. 'That's the scent of wet dog. Father must be near by!' I smirked evilly and then turned to go after another man.

"Stop you demon!" a priest shouted at me.

My red eyes looked over to the right as I turned my head slightly his way.

"You plan to stop me, monk?" I growled with amusement.

"A monk I am not. I am but a mere priest but I shall not allow you to slaughter any more of these people!"

"Then who would protect them when I slaughter you?" I laughed, showing my fangs.

Shoron jumped on top of a village hut and watched, taking his time to see what was going on.

"What's happening Shoron?" Konin asked as he killed another human.

"Ha, this priest thinks he can stop Semaru from killing the rest of these villagers. What a fool to think such!" he laughed as his blood covered claws held tightly to the wood of the roof.

'This man is a fool to think that he can stop me. He may be a priest or whatever, but he's still a weak mortal!' I cracked my claws before summoning the whip with a hateful look on my face. I was about to run at the man but then Konin's scent came from behind me.

"You really are nothing but a despicable beast, aren't you?" he laughed at me.

"So you will challenge me then? Fine, winner gets to rightfully claim Tsuharu!" I growled with my own amusement.

The priest backed off and went through the village to find some survivors.

"You can't kill me remember, though you're welcome to try. First one to die loses, and gets to claim the woman they so desire!" Konin laughed again, thinking that I hadn't figured out a way to kill him for good.

"Come now you two, don't fight against one another! We should finish killing off these mortals and then fight!" Shoron suggested with a somewhat happy tone, as if already knowing who would be the victor.

His words didn't matter. Konin and I were already at each other's throats. Running at each other our claws dug into our flesh, causing our blood to spill. Pulling one hand out of his, I dug my claws into the sides of his throat. 'This'll teach him to get cocky!' I jumped away from him and smirked when he just stood there with amusement on his face.

"Waste of strength," Konin growled as he was about to run at me again.

"If you're without your necklace, you'd die on the instant someone kills you right?" I laughed, gripping something tightly in my palm.

"What are you getting at?"

"Without this, you're nothing more than a weaker demon!"

I held up the strange necklace that had once hung around his neck. 'A weaker demon without a purpose has no right to live!' Pulling on the chain, it snapped and then smashed the weird medallion.

Konin had a surprised look on his face, as if something inside of him was shattered into oblivion. Shoron had only smirked to himself as I ran towards Konin with my claws ready. Footsteps were heard coming closer and then they stopped when the person saw me.

"Semaru, don't do it!"

It was too late. My claws were driven deep into Konin's heart and blood splattered across my face and hoari.

"T-Tsuharu," Konin whispered with a small smile on his face.

I removed my claws as his body fell backwards with blank eyes. Mud splattered around Konin and something within me snapped. 'Tsuharu, why did you want me to stop? Did you do it for me, or did you do it for that fool?' My father walked out from the forest and looked around the slaughtered villagers.

"Nothing but a killing demon," he whispered to himself.

I fell to my knees and looked at the blood on my claws. I didn't know what the feeling was that burned through me with such hatred and rage. 'Does a demon feel guilt?' I covered my eyes with my bangs so no one could really see. It felt like my heart was being torn. Even though I was the stronger demon, I could feel as I thought about all the people who had died by my claws.

"Damn," I whispered.

"Semaru, did you kill all those people?" Tsuharu asked me with a hurt tone.

'That half breed must still be alive somewhere within me. If he's not, then how can a heartless demon like me feel anything?' Somehow tears started to flow from my eyes, sending a small glistening down my face.

"Why won't you answer me?"

"Don't waste your breath. He can't hear you. Semaru isn't like a normal demon. Though he is transformed he can still feel, even if he is a heartless beast," father explained with a cold tone.

'Then there's no point in me being alive. If Semaru wants this mortal girl's love, then he can take it on his own. What use does a demon like me have for such if it's just lust?' I asked myself as I couldn't stop the tears from flowing.
