Chapter 10
Kagome was tired of the extra responsibility being placed on her. Life had been hell since Sesshomaru left her in charge. The other generals stared at her when they thought she wasn't looking, and she was tired of hearing calls of "whore" from Hayate and his friends.
Maybe I should seriously rethink this whole "relationship" that I have going with Sesshomaru. Its seems to be much more trouble than it is worth. I mean, it's true that I enjoy our um… activities, but I really do not need all the baggage that comes with it.
Kagome inhaled deeply and let it out in a forlorn sigh. She did not want to end the relationship, nor did she want to give up her position in the Western Lands. Kagome stood and stretched, trying to relieve the stress in her shoulders and neck. As she was about to leave the room, there was a knock at her bedroom door.
Opening the door, Kagome was surprised to see Hayate standing on the other side. "What do you want?" She did not want to even see his face again, and here he was outside of her bedroom.
"I wanted to apologize. I come bearing gifts…" His voice was apologetic, but Kagome was suspicious of his motives. "Please, I want to make it up to you that I have been so rude towards you."
"Okay…" Kagome opened the door a little wider and let him in. The youkai entered the room and turned to look at her.
"Here, I know it doesn't erase what I have done, but I hope it is a start." Hayate handed her a silver cuff bracelet with a beautiful opal set in it. Kagome was speechless. The piece was beautiful with delicate silver swirls that shone brightly.
"I-I can't accept this. It's beautiful, but obviously expensive. Your apologies and behavior will be enough." Kagome tried to let him down gently. She was not used to getting gifts, but she knew that it would not be right for her to accept this one.
"At least try it on? If you don't want it I will take it back, but I want you to see how beautiful it will look against your pale skin." His manner was full of boyish charm, and Kagome was taken aback. This was surely a different side of Hayate. Not wanting to offend him, she put the exquisite silver bracelet on her wrist. She smiled slightly at him and held it out so he could see it.
"There, what do you think?" Hayate smiled widely, but there was something disconcerting about that smile. Kagome tried to pull off the bracelet, but it would not budge.
"So, you like my gift do you? You will be stuck with it for a while!" Hayate laughed evilly in a way that sent shivers down Kagome's spine.
"What have you done? Remove this immediately!" Kagome was furious. She had no idea what the bracelet was intended to do, but she wanted it off, NOW!
"Nah, maybe later, after I am through with you..." Hayate advanced towards her and grabbed her by the arm. Kagome sent a shockwave through her aura, but nothing happened. She tried to use some of her more aggressive miko powers, but also to no avail.
"The bracelet is designed to negate your miko powers," Hayate said cruelly as he tightened his grip on her arm hard enough to bruise. Kagome looked around desperately, but Freezing Death was out of her reach.
****************WARNING: NON-CONSENSUAL***************
Hayate pinned Kagome's hands above her head with one of his hands, and used the other to start untying her obi. Kagome struggled as hard as her human body would allow, but made no progress in freeing herself from his brutal grasp. The youkai slid her kimono off of her shoulders, baring her to his gaze with only her futuristic bra and panties to shield her from his gaze.
Kagome began to scream and thrash about, doing anything to stop what was happening to her. Hayate threw the powerless miko onto her bed and was on top of her with lightning speed. He covered her mouth with his hand and sliced through her bra and panties. Kagome endeavored to fight her way free, but she could not even remove his hand from her mouth.
I will fight to the bitter end! I cannot allow this to happen! Oh, Sesshomaru, I wish you were here... I.. need help... Someone please help me!!
"You can cease your pitiful struggles human. They are not going to force me to release you. I am going to have a sample and find out just what our Lord sees in such a pathetically human girl." Hayate spoke with heated passion, his tone almost desperate. Kagome renewed her fight when he painfully shoved two clawed fingers into her passage.
"Kami, you are so damn tight for a little whore!" He roughly flexed his fingers in and out of her body, not minding his nails as they tore into her sensitive flesh. Kagome's back arched and she tried to twist her hips in order to stop the pain. Hayate removed his fingers and pinned her underneath his body, rendering her unable to get away.
One-handedly, Hayate removed his clothing, taking time only to switch the hand covering her mouth as he removed his garments. Kagome's eyes widened and she thrashed, vainly trying to remove him from her person. He did not pause in his pursuit of her violation, thrusting painfully deep into her core. The miko whimpered as the pain exploded through her body, searing hot like white lightning. Unable to stop them, tears ran from the corners of her eyes as he began a fast rhythm in and out of her body. Hayate used one hand to roughly massage her breasts, heedless of the fact that his claws dug into her flesh.
Kagome summoned up every ounce of energy she had to suddenly twist sideways, breaking the connection of their flesh.
"Bitch!" He growled menacingly as he flipped her back over and once again covered her mouth. Hayate used his other hand to pin her left hip to the bed, intentionally digging in his sharp talons. His manhood once again trust into her channel, using vicious force as he pounded into her human body.
Kagome whimpered and cried beneath his hand, unable to stop the violation of her body by the cruel youkai. The pain was nearly unbearable as he kept tearing open the internal wounds that were trying desperately to heal from the onslaught. Time seemed frozen to Kagome as the torture went on and on. She was still trying to struggle, but the pain sapped her energy. The seemingly eternal rhythm... in and out... in and out... was driving her mad. All she wanted was for this to be over, but wish as she might, the bodily torment continued. Just as she thought she would lose her mind, the incessant pounding stopped, and Hayate moved to straddle her shoulders as he came, allowing his thick semen to pour across her face.
Hayate stood and quickly dressed. He was standing fully dressed, facing her as she slid off of the bed. Her legs were weak and unsteady as she tried to stand and face the one who had violated her. He smirked evilly at her weakness as her legs wobbled. The smirk changed to a sneer as her legs gave out from beneath her.
"Pathetic! You are a meaningless human, and not even extraordinarily talented in bed. I do not understand what our Lord sees in you, human bitch!" Hayate spit upon the floor in front of Kagome, and she surged to her feet to punch him in the face with all of her remaining strength. The youkai laughed at her effort and casually backhanded her into the wall. Kagome's mind spun into darkness, and the last sound she heard was sadistic laughter.
***END WARNING
Kagome woke slowly, her mind still in a fog, not yet remembering the events that had led to her state of unconsciousness. Her eyes opened and took in the room around her. The tangled and bloody sheets on her bed brought her rape to the forefront of her mind. She gasped in horror and pain as her eyes were magnetically held to the scene. She lifted a shaking hand to her mouth as the images assailed her.
She stood silently and wrapped a robe around her trembling body. She walked down the hall and into the hot spring, needing to wash her body clean of defilement. As she stepped further into the room and shut the door, her mind centered on the way he had finished. Nausea assaulted her, and she was forced to empty the contents of her stomach into a nearby bin. Kagome threw up again and again, unable to stop even as she heaved dry.
Finally, she stood on quivering legs and slipped off her robe. She slid into the hot, comforting depths of the hot spring. Grabbing the soap and a towel, Kagome proceeded to scrub harshly at her skin, trying to wash everything away. She spent over an hour in the spring, washing and rewashing her body, but unable to wash away the memory. Finally, exhausted mentally, physically, and spiritually, Kagome walked back to her room. She donned a yukata and gathered up the soiled bedding. She threw it into the hearth in her room and lit the fire. She watched, blank eyed, as the cloth blackened and burned.
Drawing an extra blanket from the chest at the end of her bed, Kagome laid down and drew it over her. She lay awake for several minutes before a fitful sleep claimed her weary mind.
Two youkai, one with black hair and the other with pure white, stood just inside the palace walls, awaiting a signal from a third youkai above them. All of them were generals, but more loyal to Hayate than to their Lord. The youkai stationed on the wall was to signal to the others when Sesshomaru approached. Hayate had laid out the plan perfectly, all they had to do was play their parts exactly.
A small burst of demonic energy came from the sentry, and the youkai below readied themselves as the lookout moved on. Feeling the aura of their Lord, the youkai began their rehearsed conversation.
The white haired youkai began. "So, Hayate favored the human general with a token, a beautiful silver and opal bracelet."
"Yes, and apparently the miko threw herself at him, demanding that he take her." The raven-haired youkai responded, knowing that Lord Sesshomaru could hear every word.
"Hayate said that the bitch was a good lay for a human, but nothing special." The two youkai snickered together as their Lord came into view, but sobered up and snapped to attention at the murderous look upon his countenance.
"My L-Lord... you have returned!" the two devious youkai stuttered at their Lord. His facial expression was enough for them to want to get away... quickly. Sesshomaru walked past them without a word, his fast pace carrying him rapidly towards the castle. All who saw him scurried in fear out of his path. He did not pause until he stood outside of her door. Listening for a brief moment, he heard her even breathing and realized that she was asleep.
In his deep rage, he nearly tore the door from the wall as he entered the room and slammed it with rattling force, causing Kagome to startle out of sleep. She looked up with sleep puffy eyes and was confused to see Sesshomaru standing in her room. A moment later, his fury-filled gaze registered in her mind causing her eyebrows to knit together in confusion. Sesshomaru's eyes rested for but a moment on the bejeweled bracelet on her wrist before he could no longer contain his ire.
"So, you wait until I am gone to whore among my generals? I had thought so much more of you, Kagome, but apparently my esteem was misguided. You agreed to our arrangement, understanding what was expected of you, yet you went against the most important of the two rules." Sesshomaru's voice obviously struggled to remain cold, but the blind rage slipped out in his tone.
"Sesshomaru, I do not know what you are talking about! I-" Kagome tried to frantically interject, hoping to calm him and make him see reason. She did not know who had told him what, but apparently they were spreading an entirely false rumor.
"Lies! I do not want to hear them, human! You have shamed both me and the position that you hold. I am done with you! This Sesshomaru will no longer share your bed! Furthermore, This Sesshomaru hereby strips you of your title as a general of the Western Lands. A general who cannot keep their word is useless to me." The deep, fiery anger was blatant in both his voice and aura, but Kagome was determined to make him see her side.
"Sesshomaru, I do not know who you have spoken to, but they lie-" She was cut off as he brutally struck her across the face. Kagome stared at him, eyes wide in complete shock at his action.
"Silence! I will hear no more of your lies!" Sesshomaru turned to leave, but Kagome grabbed hold of his arm and attempted to turn him to face her. She was unprepared for him to whirl around and grasp her hair. "You will not touch This Sesshomaru ever again, miko!"
"But Sess-" She was again cut off as the air rushed out of her lungs at the force of his shove. Kagome was propelled backwards into the bedpost, her head making a sick sounding thud against the wood. Sesshomaru left the room without looking back, turning a key in the lock to seal her into her room.
