Unrequited Love , Mistaken Lust
~ Chapter Nine ~
Biting Back
By Inuyashas Youkai
~Through The Salty , Thrashing Red~
As the transforming hanyou came to the spot where it was that Inuyasha last saw any of his pack , to the west of it a burst of fluctuating pink light soon crashed outwards , and shaking the ground unforgivingly. A high pitched wail with feral screams of peturbed emotions shot from the same direction, as it flooded with the cries sounding like those of his companions.
"Kagome!"
Rushing towards the sight , Inuyasha came to a open clearing where in front of him was a revealed power surpassing anything that he had ever seen , especially comingn from the one that was his. It was humbling to say the least because the intensity had the small hairs on the back of his neck stand on end , and with all that he could see was a petrid mix of greenish black with that of an angry red, gave no comfort to Inuyasha that Kagome was anywhere near that of Naraku's presence , or even that of the wolf Kouga, as he later noticed his fury standing next to him , growling. The others were standing in startegic positions surrounding him , and what his eyes fell upon, while the mate of his heart's anger soared for whatever had caused it.
~ Coming From Within The Mix~
As Kagome felt herself sinking further into the cold darkness that obviosly Naraku had lured her within , something snapped as the miko started to fight back , and it was so even if everyone had left her because she was weak, the girl refused to lket herself being a slave to the evil 's corruption, it would be more attractive dying than to do that. Therefore , as Kagome felt something within her change slightly a sudden burst of light had abruptly shot out of her , and seemed to burn Naraku while her hands tightened around him to encourage that he let go. Once he had , it seemed that too much power had been exumed from her body , and in reaction to it , Kagome fell with her eyes uncontrollably falling shut on their own accord in her weakened state. Although as she felt herself being caught , Kagome thought as though she heard growling from Kouga , but at the time she didn't have the strength to find out what is was.
~ Aftermath~
Inuyasha hurriedly caught Kagome when immediately her form was being shot downward from the fading light , as though whatever it was that she was fighting had dispappeared with it , but the hanyou knew with the sound of Naraku's voice cackling in the distance that it wasn't true. Kagome hadn't killed him , only seriously hurting him, and with it possibly herself as well , but what had startled him from his musings while taking in the soft texture of her beautiful face was nearby growling from Kouga .
"What the fuck Inuyasha , leaving her alone ! Ya trying to get her killed!"
Although that statement , hit home for Inuyasha just how close he had come to losing her, but something else also came within his mind , with Kouga's reek being found on his mate when he came to kiss her on her forehead..
"Hell No ! Ya bastard been touching my mate wolf ? I'll kill you if I found that you have !"
" Look Inuyasha , whatever you and Kikyo had you have to stop or we'll lose Kagome to Naraku just like he wants .. Yes I touched your mate , actually I kissed her, but it was only to get her to stop mutt !"
"What the fuck , stop what!"
" When I found your mate , Kagome was in pretty bad shape, and I don't know for how long you were gone , but her aura led me too her, and it was pained , as it seems that Naraku has been taunting her. Don't give him the power to do so Inuyasha , because I don't know how much more she can take ...I thought I felt Naraku's presence but it was faint , and as soon as I had , Kagome's aura began to darken with her tears , so I kissed her to get it to stop, but then I saw when the bastard arrived what he was taunting her with before all of this happened.. I might not know when but if this shit don't stop then Kagome will break , and then she will be no better than that sibling of your Slayer!"
"Look ya idiot ! Not that it isn't any of your business , but I only left to make certain of my failure to Kikyo, and to think of a way to prevent it from happening to my mate ! I didn't think of anything else because I had to get away for a bit before I said , or did something I would regret later by protecting her! I won't let her go like I had before , but I had to know so that I can make sure it don't happen to her! I couldn't survive if it had , its one thing with Kikyo , but I would fucking lose it if it happened to Kagome!"
"Does she know this ?" Kouga rasped back strained , with his eyes falling on Kagome..
"Normal circumstances , she should but with Naraku keep fucking with her who knows what the hell he has put into her mind ! But believe me , this will end , and no longer will she be ever out of my sight .. "
"Wait this had happened before ! "
"Not like this Kouga but awhile back , Naraku had summoned her with the image of me , and in the end she was injured, but was taken care of by me and my brother, Sesshomeru .. She hasn't yet told me what was said with exception of what my image wantedto take her, and then leaving her die alone after Naraku had attacked her, but when I left I didn't think of that at the time .. All I thought was my fear that the same thing would happen to Kagome as it had to Kikyo .."
"Would you like me to shed some light with that mutt ? "
"Wait ! She told you ?"
"No , she didn't .. Naraku did .."
"What the hell did he say !"
" I think Naraku is trying to defeat his greatest opponent , because not much he can gather on her , and that scares him , as well as the fact that she can see parts of the jewel that by using tactics that involve playing tricks on the mind he's trying to break her so that she can be taken to the other side.. Although what he is saying to her is anything that could destroy any belief in herself or the part she plays with others because she's nothing but a weak , pathetic copy of a true miko that couldn't ever hope to retain anyone that would willingly stand long beside her.."
"Grrrrrrrrr...Dammit to Hell ! That damn fucking bastards getting on my last nerve! That's it , I am tired of this fucking bullshit and I am going to settle it , but if I even smell any of you on her again their won't be anything to stop me I'll rip your god damn hands off !" Inuyasha sneered then turned swiftly with his mate snuggled within his embrace ..
"Come on Kagome , lets go home ... Heya guys time to head out, I am not wasting anymore time on a damn shard when its not here to be found so lets head back .. We'll start again after Kagome recovers !" The hanyou said , as he walked past them to encourage speed knowing that they would catch up soon enough , as he rushed back towards Kaede's .
' I am sorry Kagome, I didn't know .. But know I could never leave you , not for Kikyo , or for anyone... Nothing could make me leave from being from your side , always..'
