Chapter Fourteen: Brothers and Uncle
Before he slipped in the dark Sesshomaru turned to see his mate on her knees crying her eyes out as she watched him get tortured. He faded into the dark, but not before he heard a crash and frantic yelling in the background. He thought he was imagining things when he thought he heard his brother's voice through the commotion.
"Get Kagome and Sesshomaru, I will handle this guy," shouted Inuyasha drawing Tetsuiga.
"Like hell, you will probably screw things up mutt," Kouga rushed forward to kick Raden in the midsection to only miss. Raden had side stepped avoiding Kouga's kick and lashed out at Kouga with his poisonous claws.
"Shit," was all Kouga could say. Raden had leaked a lot of poison into him causing to become lethargic.
"Damn wolf I said let me handle this. It is my family that he messed with so I am the one to avenge them. Now stay out of it and get Sesshomaru and Kagome out of here," Inuyasha ground out dodging Raden's claws.
"Kouga can you stand," asked Iwao going over to Kouga to help him to his feet.
"Yeah I will be fine, just a little shaken. We need to get Kagome and Sesshomaru out of here," ordered Kouga swaying on his feet before going over to Kagome. He untied her bounds and un gagged her. As soon as he released her he watcher her go over to her mate's side who was being assessed by the other two lords.
"Is he going to be alright," Kagome asked worriedly.
"I don't know he took a pretty hard beating," answered Iwao. He turned around to look at the tear faced woman and he noticed her broken arm. He ripped a piece of his clothing to make a sling for her arm, "Do have any other injuries," he questioned.
"No, just a few bruises," Kagome thanked him as she watched the other lord, Daichi, unchain her mate and with the help of Kouga pick him up. She stood up and looked around when she herd fighting to only gasp at finally noticing Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha," she whispered. Inuyasha turned to see a surprised Kagome. He yelled at them to get out of here while he finished off Raden.
They all listened to Inuyasha, although a little reluctant, they got out of the warehouse and called the police and an ambulance for Sesshomaru.
They only had to wait for five minutes before the police arrived along with an ambulance. The paramedics put a still unconscious Sesshomaru on a stretcher in the ambulance. Kagome and Kouga was also placed in the ambulance and rushed off towards the hospital. Kagome held her mates hand through the whole trip.
As soon as they reached the hospital they were all separated and put into different rooms to be looked at. Kagome sat on the doctor bed as the nurse placed a cast on her arm. She could barely sit still for long. She wanted to see Sesshomaru, but she heard that he was still being looked at and is in critical condition. Kouga on the other hand was on the other side of the curtain crying over the cuts that were being sewed up.
When she was finally allowed to go she ran to a phone booth to call her children.
The phone rang three times before Rin answered the phone.
"Hello, this is the Taisho residence. Rin speaking how can I help you," Rin said into the phone.
"Hey baby. How is everyone," Kagome sighed at hearing that everything was fine there. "I am at the hospital right now. Tell Mia-chan if she will drive all of you down here."
"Yes I am fine, but your father is still being seen," Kagome went on to answer some more of Rin's questions until Kagome spotted a doctor coming towards her. She said her 'goodbyes' and 'see you laters' before hanging up the phone.
"You may go see your mate now," the doctor said. "He is still unstable, but he does have a good chance in surviving this. He is a youkai so this sort of thing will not stop him."
Kagome looked at him with surprise. She tried stretching out her censes only to realize that she was still unable to use them. Ever since entering the warehouse her powers had been locked up and she couldn't bring them forth. So she had to ask him instead.
"Are you also a youkai?"
"A miko should be able to tell," he smirked.
"Well usually I can, but there was something in the air that nullified my miko powers and I think it had the same affect on Sesshomaru," she informed the doctor.
"No, I am not a youkai, but I can cense these things. I do what I can for youkais because they are forced to hide themselves and need help sometimes," he told her.
"Oh wow thank you for tending to Sesshomaru he means everything to me," Kagome gave the doctor a slight bow of the head.
"No problem. If you ever need anything here is my business card and you can go see your mate now," the doctor reached into his breast pocket and handed Kagome his card.
"Thank you Dr. Sasaki, but can you now lead the way to my mate," she asked politely.
"Sure, fallow me," he said as he turned and walked down a hallway to Sesshomaru's room.
His room was nice and spacious and Sesshomaru was sleeping on the hospital bed in the middle of the room. He had tubes and wires coming out of him. He was stitched up and wrapped up. To Kagome he looked hopeless and out of place.
When Dr. Sasaki left she pulled up a chair beside the bed and sat down. She took hold of his cold hand.
"Why didn't you fight back, I know you wanted to protect me, but it still hurts seeing that happen to you," she whispered.
"The children are on their way aren't you excited. You have to get better so we all can be a family again," tears were starting to fall as she spoke.
"Guess who saved us Hun? It was your brother, Inuyasha. He came fromm no where and rescued us. I wonder he has been," Kagome continued to talk softly to him through her silent tears as she held his hand, hoping on hope he pulled through this.
Back at the Warehouse
(Sorry, but I am not good on fight scenes so I skipped him fighting Raden)
Raden was in bad shape and was lying on the warehouse floor bleeding from multiple gun shot wounds and sword wounds. He would die soon. He almost won, but because of the hanyou and other lords he lost. He watched the world around him as police inspected his wounds. Raden died soon after.
Inuyasha and the lords had some minor injuries and were being seen by a paramedic. They heard the news of Raden's death when they were close to being finished with the paramedics. They all released a sigh in relief as they all crowded into Iwao's car to reach the hospital to see how the other three were doing.
Inuyasha stood there in the shadows watching Sesshomaru and his family sleep. Shippou, Rin, Tarumaru and Kagome had all fallen asleep at Sesshomaru's bed side.
'How could I forget these people,' he thought to himself. Even though he had lived a couple of centuries away from them he didn't really regret it because he met Hanako and Isao along with the others. They had treated him like family and that is what they are to him family and so was Sesshomaru and his family.
In the midst of his thoughts he saw little Taru move and wake. Inuyasha went over and picked up the tyke so he wouldn't wake the others. Inuyasha sat in the chair placing his nephew on his lap.
"Hey little guy, how are you doing," he asked. He heard the little one giggle.
"Who are you," Taru asked still giggling.
"I'm you Uncle Inuyasha," Inuyasha answered smiling down at the kawaii pup.
Inuyasha was suddenly taken aback when the pup stopped giggling and flung his arms around Inuyasha, mumbling something in his chest.
"What was that," Inuyasha asked giving the pup a pat on the head.
"Tank you for bringing back momma and daddy back Uncle Yasha," he repeated. Inuyasha was surprised at the serious side of the child.
"No problem little one," Inuyasha looked over at his brother only to meet a pair of cerulean blue eyes. Inuyasha nearly jumped to see his brother awake.
"Hey Onii-san," Inuyasha said sheepishly scratching the back of his head.
"Daddy," Taru squealed as he crawled out of Inuyasha's lap into his father's arms and snuggle into his warmth.
"Hello, my pup and hello Kyodai," Sesshomaru replied. He was surprised to see his brother sitting there with his pup on his lap. He thought Inuyasha had died.
"You are probably wondering why I am not dead," Inuyasha laughed nervously.
"That is one thing and the other is how did you know where to find me," Sesshomaru said.
"Well to begin with I never died. For the last couple centuries I have been living under a false name because I knew no better. I was returning from the well one day and I was ambushed I was knocked out pretty quickly. I woke up not knowing where I was or who I was. I would have died if it wasn't for Hanako andIsao. They rescued me and took me in. I have been living with them as their son, Rosuto. Yesterday I was working out in the field when all of the sudden I had this major headache. I passed out and the next thing I know I had my memories back. I knew you needed help somehow though, so here I am," Inuyasha explained.
"Indeed," was all Sesshomaru said. He was actually happy to see his brother, but it was hard to show his emotions to a brother who he had against on numerous occasions.
"Well I guess I give you alone time with your family," Inuyasha stood up to leave.
""Where are you going little brother, you are family you have aright to stay," Sesshomaru requested.
