Chapter 11. Rescued by an Old Friend
Sesshomaru could feel his heart breaking apart slowly as the minutes dragged on without his mate beside him.
"I miss her." He said as he looked at Yuki asleep in his lap.
"I know you do dear. Now hold still." Mom said as she tended to Sesshomaru's wounds on his back.
Sesshomaru stroked Yuki's hair as he looked at her. You miss her too? Don't you my little Yuki? He thought as he watched the little girl sleep. He then rubbed the mark on his neck. It wouldn't stop vibrating and letting him know that Serena was scared. Be calm dearest. I'll find you soon.
"Damn. I can't find that basturd anywhere." Inuyasha as he entered the living room where they all were. He had gone out searching for Naruki after the attack.
"He must have hidden himself somewhere then." Masa said as he tended to Shima's wound.
Sesshomaru nodded but kept looking at his daughter. "I just hope she's okay."
Naruki was laughing insanely. "It worked! It actually worked!"
"That plan was actually better then anything Naraku could ever think up." Kagura said as she watched Naruki dance around like an idoit in the appartment.
"I finally got my girl back." He cheered as he continued to be a moron.
In the next room, Serena was struggling against the ropes that bound her to a four poster bed. She had a terrible feeling that something bad was about to happen. She was scared and was trying to free herself. She was crying as she pulled hard against the ropes. Sesshomaru! Where are you?! I need you so badly.
She then froze as Naruki entered the room she was in. "I finally have my girl back. You're all mine now my beloved Serena." He said as he went over to her. He sat down on the bed an stroked her face. Serena flinched and moved away from him as best as she could.
"I told you I belong to Sesshomaru! The mark on my neck binds me to him and there is no way to remove it." She said as she glared at him.
"You may be bonded to him by some stupid magical scar, but in our world you are not bonded to him by marriage. In our worlds terms, you two are still dating. Which means..." He said as he moved closer to her. Close enough to kiss her on the cheek. "I have every right to make you mine again."
"No you don't! I love Sesshomaru! You hurt my best friend and me! What makes you think i still love you! I hate you with every fiber of my being!" She yelled at him as she tryed to move away from him again.
"It doesn't matter. I have you again and there's no way i'm giving you up." He said as he grabbed her chin and held onto her to kiss her.
Serena struggled yet again to get away but couldn't because of the ropes.
"Get away from her!" came an unknown voice from behind him.
"Who dares...ACK!" Naruki was throw to the side by a powerful kick to his side.
"Sesshomaru?!" Serena looked at the man that was saving.
"No. But we do know him." Said a woman that came out from behind the man. She had a dagger and used it to cut the ropes that held Serena down to the bed.
Serena got up as the man took her hand. "Come on. We've got to get you out of here." The man said as he ran out of the bedroom. Serena looked around the living room of the appartment and saw Kagura under a pile of rumble from a collapesed wall.
The man then suddenly took Serena into his arms and jumped out the window.
"You're a demon!" Serena exclaimed as the man jumped into the night sky.
"We both are Lady Serena." The woman giggled as they both landed on the roof of the building next to the appartments where Naruki lived.
"Enough talk. We have to get you back to the shrine and to the mutts." The man said as he ran with incredable speed across the rooftops.
Serena nodded and held onto the man that had rescued her.
Sesshomaru sighed sadly as he looked up at the night sky. It had only been a few hours but to him it felt like forever since he last saw Serena. And it was only about an hour ago when the mark stop vibrating. He couldn't sense how Serena was feeling and it was starting to scare him greatly. He was now sitting by the god tree, holding Yuki in his arms. The little pup was playing with her father's hair and giggled.
"Serena. Please be safe. Please give a sign that you are okay." He mumbled as he looked down at his daughter. He smiled softly as the little girl started to chew on his hair.
Yuki then suddenly surprized him by saying, "Momma!" and raising her tiny arm up at the brenches.
"No sweetheart. Momma isn't up there. I don't know where she is." He said sadly and he held his finger above her.
"Momma! Momma!" Yuki continued to say as she looked up at the tree.
Sesshomaru sighed heavily. He then jumped when he felt a warm sensation from the mark and a soft giggling above him. He then looked up at the branches and why Yuki kept saying momma.
"Serena! You're okay!" He said as he smiled at his mate.
Serena nodded and jumped out of the tree. She landed in front of him as he stood up. The little pups still held her arms out toward her mother. Serena took Yuki and held her close to her. "I missed you my little Yuki." She then looked up at Sesshomaru and went over to him so he could hold her. "But i missed you even more Sesshomaru."
"I missed you so much my Serena." He said as he held her close to him.
"Then you better thank us for saving her." Said the woman that had rescued Serena. Both she and the man landed beside them as Inuyasha came running out of the house.
"Why the hell do i smell that filthy wolf here?" He said as he came over to the group.
"Because that so called filthy wolf is standing right before you you stupid mutt." The man said as he wacked Inuyasha on the head.
"Koga? Is that really you?" Serena said as she looked at the man. Now that she was away from the scent of Naruki, she could actually smell Koga's scent now. "But you look so much older. And in modern day cloths too."
"Yeah. It's me. Only more mature and not as stupid as i was back in the feudal era. Time flies over 500 years with someone you love." Koga said as he wrapped his arm around the woman next to him.
"And who are you miss?" Sesshomaru asked as he looked at the woman.
"Oh! You two may not know me but Inuyasha and Kagome do. I'm Ayame of the northern wolf demon tribe." Ayame said as she smiled at the demons.
"Ayame? You two finally got together?" Inuyasha asked as he saw the way Koga was holding Ayame in a loving way.
"Yep. After Naraku was finally killed, I finally gave in and settled down with Ayame." He said as he wrapped his arms around his mate.
"But how and why did you save my Serena?" Sesshomaru asked as he took in his mate's wonderful scent.
"Naruki lives in the appartment complex next to mine. I was wondering why i could smell Serena's scent and why i could smell fear in it. So i decided to check it out. I know how Naruki is since he's my neighbor so i went over to his place with Ayame, knocked down the door and found Kagura." Koga explained as he rubbed Ayame's shoulder to keep her warm from the chilly nite air.
"We then went into the next room and saw Naruki kissing Lady Serena." Ayame said as she looked at the demon lord.
"And trust me, I did not like it at all when he kissed me. It was disgusting and gross. And his scent was making me really sick and i wanted to throw up when he kissed me." Serena said as she layed her head down on Sesshomaru's chest.
"How dare Naruki touch my mate." Sesshomaru growled softly at the thought of Naruki kissing hiw mate.
"Don't worry. I kicked him pretty hard. After 500 years without the shikon jewel shards in my legs i can still kick hard and run pretty fast." Koga said as he smiled stupidly.
"Yeah. I sliced the ropes the bond Lady Serena to the bed she was on and we helpped her escape." Ayame said as she giggled at her mate.
"Well i thank you for saving my beloved mate." Sesshomaru said as he nodded at the two wolf demons.
The demons nodded back and then Koga looked at Inuyasha. "Hey mutt face. Tell Kagome to head back to the feudal era soon. If i remember right, i'll be around the village to give Kagome my jewel shards. I remember i gave them too her about four mouths after Naraku died so my past self will be around soon."
"Yeah. I'll tell her that you filthy wolf." Inuyasha said as he headed back to the house.
"I'm gonna take a long bath and get Naruki's stench off me." She said she also headed for the house.
"Sesshomaru." Ayame said as she approuched the demon lord.
"Yes Ayame?" He said as he looked at her.
"Here. It's our phone number. Call us if you ever need our help with anything. That is if you have figured out how to use a phone yet." She said as she giggled at the thought.
"It's only been about week or so since i came to live here. I'm still getting used to this era." He said as he took the slip of paper from Ayame.
"That's okay. You'll get used to the things they have around here soon." She said as she went back over to Koga.
"See ya around Lord Sesshomaru." Koga said as he jumped off into the night air.
"Bye bye Sesshomaru." Ayame waved good bye and followed Koga.
Sesshomaru sighed and relaxed. I guess not all demons are gone from this world. A few of them must still be alive in this era. If Ayame, Koga and Kagura are still alive, who else from the feudal era are still here? He thought to himself as he went back inside the house to be with his mate.
