Chapter Nine
All It Took Was a Kiss
"Without a fucking word! He just ran out of her without a fucking word!" A girl with silver blue eyes threw her hands up in frustration.
"Rain, calm down!" Sango said to the silver blue eyed woman.
"Sango, how the hell can you say calm down? Kagome is missing! My brother runs out of here, smelling like her blood! Now how the hell am I suppose to calm down?" Rain's burning eyes turned from her best friend's form and went towards the door.
"I'm fucking going after him! That mother fucker is dead!" The next thing Sango and Rain's mom knew the door's hinges was ripped off and the young hanyou girl ran out.
Sango sheepishly laughed and turned to Izayoi. "It was worth a try."
'Where are you? God Damn it Kagome, where can you fucking be? ' Amber eyes searched through out the city looking for a certain blue-grey eyed woman.
"INU YASHA!" The amber eyed man suddenly snapped his head towards an alley in down town. 'There! Hold on Kagome here I come!' Inu Yasha suddenly jumped from his position on the roof and landed on to another one. He began hopping from roof to roof to get to his goal.
"Awww the bitch passed out! Oh well I still get to have fun!" The man with green eyes smiled evilly. Taking his right hand he inched it forward to open the teenager's shirt that was passed out below him. Edging closer the man's hand was grabbed and he was thrown backwards. His back connected with a wall and there was a sickening thud heard.
"Get out of here before I kill you." The man looked up only to have his cold green eyes connect with fire burning amber ones.
"Listen boy, this is my prey. If you want to live then you better just get out of here and forget everything you have seen… Or maybe yet I'll just kill you too."
The teenage girl began to struggle against her savior. "Hmmm…." The young girl slowly opened her eyes and started to mumble. "Inu… Inu Yasha…. That you?" The silver hair boy smiled.
"Yeah Kagome it's me. Just go back to sleep, it will be all over soon." Kagome nodded and drifted back to her dreamless sleep.
Inu Yasha carefully began to set off towards Kagome's house. But the minute he turned his back a blinding flash hit him sending him and Kagome into the trash cans. ' Oww… That hurt a lot... The bastard is going to get it! Man… I'm going to… Wait! Kagome ' Inu Yasha looked down to see Kagome's crumpled body.
Apparently when they were blasted into the trash cans, Kagome's head hit the metal bin and cracked a little. He could smell her blood even in his disguised form. Looking towards the man who blasted them, he came face to face with a thunder demon. ' Great… Like I really need a youkai battle right now! '
"Hanyou…." The man staggered out.
"Hmmm so you know what I am, big deal!" Inu Yasha gritted his teeth. Only his family could see his true form under the spell… So how the hell could this demon do it?
"I was ordered to finish the girl, now give her to me!" The green eyed man suddenly attacked. Inu Yasha grabbed Kagome and jumped on top of a tree just before the youkai could charge them.
"YOU! You are the one who came and hurt her! I swear one thing to you youkai. You won't see the rays of the sun after tonight." The youkai just smiled and pointed his finger towards Inu Yasha.
"Hanyou, get ready to die." A light began to form at the tip of his finger. In a matter of seconds he released it towards Inu Yasha.
The light expanded and it was too big for Inu Yasha to dodge, so he turned around trying to shield Kagome's body from the last. ' Kagome, please forgive me! ' Inu Yasha knew it was the end for him and her. ´I only wish I never said those hurtful things to you!'
"Okay Ms. Sango that's all the questions I have for you. Please keep in touch." The officer then closed his little notebook and walked off towards his patrol car.
Sango waved to the police, but as soon as they were out of seeing distance, she flipped them off. "Sango!" Izayoi scolded.
Sango laughed a little before she turned around and faced Mrs. Nagasaki. "Ahh… Well I was still kind of mad they took that long to get here." Izayoi shook her head in a disapproving way, but she understood the girl's frustration. Sango turned to her best friends' mother and bowed, "I think I better head home. Check on her brother and sister." Right before she was about to leave Sango felt the gentle touch of Inu Yasha's mom. "Nagasaki-sama? "
Izayoi smiled. "Sango, no need for formalities. We've known each other for over seven years. Just call me mom." Sango smiled warmly at the woman before her. "Also if you don't mind I would like to accompany you. I think I'm taking the Higurashi children with me, to be on the safe side." Sango nodded and motioned Izayoi towards her home.
Rain silently crept around the corner of a dark alley way. She had taken her concealment spell off and was now able to sense things better.
"Hanyou get ready to die." Upon hearing those words Rain jumped from the spot she was hiding from and took out a pair of fans smashed them together. "Lightning!" A massive bolt of lightning emerged from her fans and headed straight towards the ball of light the demon sent towards her brother and Kagome.
Both attacks clashed, and to the thunder demon's surprise his bolt of lightning was deflected by the new comer.
Cold green eyes and silver blue ones met. Neither one was backing down. Rain averted her eyes for only a moment to check on her brother, the demon saw this and used it against her. The thunder demon took this moment to lay a punch to girl's face, which made her body slam into a brick wall. Inu Yasha looked up after not feeling the impact of the blast and watched his twin get slammed by the creature before him.
He wanted to go help Rain, but he still had Kagome in his arms. Looking at the wall he saw his twin thrown up bricks from her body with the blast of aura. Her shirt was torn and it exposed her body.
"Oh, it seems I got a well developed little hanyou. I am Karamu, remember my name well-" Karamu took his spear and began to charge "-because you'll be screaming it soon!" Taking his spear he smashed it against Rain's fans. The battle was evenly matched for the first few rounds. Here and there Rain would get a punch in, but she was rapidly getting tired due to the blow to the back of her head when she collided with the wall.
'If I don't finish this soon, then I'll be finished.' Taking her right fist, she smashed it with the youkai's cheek. Finally getting a chance to look back, Rain turned and began to yell, "Get her out of here Inu Yasha! Stop fucking around."
"I'm not leaving you!"
"For once in your life listen to me!"
"I'm not leaving- Watch out Rain!" But before she could block the attack, a shot of lightning went through her stomach, knocking her down.
Inu Yasha watched his sister's body go limp. 'No…No….' "NO!" Something quickly snapped within Inu Yasha. Accidentally dropping Kagome's body on to bunch of garbage bags, he grabbed his head and started to scream in agony. And before he could grasp what was going on, Inu Yasha blacked out, but not before hearing an angry howl coming from his body.
Hearing the hanyou howl, Karamu turned and watched silently as the boy hanyou before him began to transform. The youkai was astonished to smell the scent of a full youkai coming from the hanyou before him. 'What… What is going on? Why does this filth suddenly smell like a true youkai?' Two purple stripes appeared on both sides of Inu Yasha's cheeks. The hanyou's once stern, but gentle, golden amber eyes turned into a bloodthirsty red. 'Shit.'
Inu Yasha began to smell the fear rolling off the youkai before him. Howling again, he turned his blood hungry eyes towards Karamu and started to smirk. "You… Mine… Hurt… Kin… I… Kill!" The full demon Inu Yasha screamed as he attacked the thunder demon.
Using his dangerously long claws, Inu Yasha started attacking the youkai before him. Karamu tried to dodge the swipes the hanyou was dealing towards him. Tired from the battle that happened minutes ago, Karamu was becoming more reckless in his defense moves, leaving him open for the blows that Inu Yasha was giving him.
When he was finally satisfied with the screams of agony coming from the thunder demon, Inu Yasha punched a hole through the demon's stomach leaving him to die painfully from his wounds and the amount of blood loss he was receiving. "You...Die...I... Win..." Inu Yasha said as he turned around and picked up Kagome. Sniffing the teenage girl, he came realize that he knew that scent. 'Mate!' He yipped to himself in Inu-youkai language.
He began to nudge her face with his, trying to wake her up. What he didn't expect was to see a bright light shot through her shoulder and her piercing yell, when the shot brought her back to reality. Next he too felt the pain when it pierced his left shoulder. Inu Yasha turned to see the demon he meant to dispose of, holding his side, smirking like no tomorrow. Inu Yasha began to howl like no tomorrow. "You..." He growled out while flexing his claws, "die." Turning towards the youkai, Inu Yasha began to lash out.
This time the youkai could not come back for another sneak attack. Licking his claws, Inu Yasha looked down on the ground to see the thunder demon's head. Smirking, he used his right leg and kicked the demon's head into the brick wall. Though no more threats were near, he still craved blood... And to him, it didn't matter if it was friend or foe. Howling out loud, he was about to go search for a new target.
"Inu Yasha?" The faint voice reached his ears and he inclined is head to see who dared to speak his name.
His blood thirsty eyes soften for a bit at the sight he saw.
Kagome couldn't believe her eyes. Here he was, but yet he wasn't really there. Any normal girl would have freaked if they saw a man with blood red eyes, large fangs, long claws, and doggy-ears. But Kagome knew this was her Inu Yasha, even if he was different. No matter what he was, she would always love him.
Slowly she began to limp towards him. Eve hen he gave her a menacing growl to stay away, she wouldn't, not until she knew he was okay. She whimpered when he grabbed her shoulders, digging his claws into it, and growled out a few words. "Mate...Not listen... Punish!"
Kagome let a few tears roll down her face when he accidentally dug in harder. "Inu Yasha." She whispered, but he wouldn't listen and began to howl in a dark way instead. "Inu Yasha." She tried once again. Why wouldn't he listen? What was going on with him? She began to feel tired. If she didn't do something soon, she would pass out and something bad could happen to Inu Yasha. 'Kiss him!' Her mind yelled. She wanted to tell her conscious that it was fucking nuts, but for some reason, she believed it. 'He's going to hate me after this!'
With her remaining strength, Kagome leaned in and pressed her lips against Inu Yasha's. A warm feeling began to go through both of the teenagers' bodies.
Inu Yasha's once blood red eyes began to dissipate, as well as his markings and long claws. Kagome felt the kiss deepen and also the feel of Inu Yasha's arms wrap around her.
'My first kiss. I couldn't ask for more, finally sharing it with the guy I love.' With those serene thoughts, Kagome finally welcomed the sleep that was waiting to overcome her.
Inu Yasha's golden amber eyes popped open as he felt a body go limp in his arms. The memories of the battle came rushing, as well as the pain he felt.
'Kagome.' Looking down he smiled as he lowered both their bodies to the ground near his sister's unmoving body. Inu Yasha slowly placed her head on his chest, while wrapping an arm around her small figure. Using his other hand he grabbed his sister and used what remaining strength he had to pull her body close to them and placed her head on his leg, while placing an arm around her to protect her.
"I'm sorry," He began as he looked towards his sister and Kagome's unconscious bodies. He felt his mind slipping from him and his eyes began to close. He struggled to keep awake, to try and yell for help, but his wounds were preventing it from happening. "For letting you both down." He whispered as he to fell into a deep sleep.
A girl, no older than seventeen rounded the corner of an alleyway to take it as a short cut home. She was no taller than five-foot, which gave everyone the impression that she was younger than she looked. Her dark blue eyes peered through the darkness of the alley to see if there were any threats within its dangerous trail. 'Why does it smell like blood?' The girl quickly ran towards he entrance of the alley way.
"Oh... My...God…" She gasped when she saw blood splashed all over the walls of the buildings. She quickly ran forward, only to trip over something. Looking down her eyes came in contact with a severed head. If she was any normal human girl, she would have screamed bloody murder. But she wasn't any normal human girl, she wasn't even human.
A small flame of fire appeared in her hand, and she used it to find any survivors in this bloody battle. When she came to a brick wall she encountered three bodies. She quickly ran over and sniffed the air. "Good they're still alive."
Taking out her cell phone, she pressed the number one, and placed the cell to her ears. "Babe it's me."
"Hey Cecelia, what's up?"
"Ice, get to the alley way behind the house, I need help!"
Hearing the urgency in her voice he quickly answered "I'm on my way." Upon hearing the dial tone, Cecelia quickly shut her phone and grabbed one of the victims. Picking up the hanyou girl, she stared at her with interest. "I've seen this girl before."
She looked down and smiled at the scene before her. Even close to death, this hanyou boy protected them with everything he had. And the way he was holding the human girl on the ground screamed that the girl belonged to him and only him.
Cecelia watched he boyfriend rushing towards her. Sighing she looked at the three broken bodies. "Let's hope your guys' will to live is as strong as your auras are indicating they are."
