Okay, I updated Jessi and Morg you can stop pestering me now! You guys have those two to thank for getting me off my lazy butt and getting this done. I am still deciding how I want to end this, whether or not I want a sequel, that kind of stuff.

Naraku watched the flow of emotions going through Inuyasha's eyes. Anger, part fear, and a lot of hate all stared back at him in the now deep brown globes. Holding back a smile Naraku leaned down to brush his lips against Inuyasha's in a chaste kiss. Inuyasha held back a shudder of revulsion. He'd stopped struggling for the moment waiting for an opportunity for escape. Naraku had removed his top and was placing gentle kisses along his chest working his way down.

"Stop," Inuyasha ground out.

Naraku looked at him. "Not enjoying yourself?" he asked. He took one of Inuyasha's nipples between his two fingers and pinched painfully. Inuyasha bit his lip but didn't make a sound at the harsh contact. The only answer to the question was a glare that Sesshomaru would have been proud of.

"We'll just have to get this over with quickly then won't we?" Naraku sneered. Inuyasha allowed a small gasp to escape his lips as Naraku ripped away the remainder of his clothes. The spider demon took a moment to gaze at the luscious body beneath him.

Inuyasha suppressed another shudder at the way Naraku looked him up and down slowly. Naraku grinned wickedly upon seeing the revulsion in Inuyasha's eyes, the way he tensed up when his hands ghosted over his body.

"You are quite beautiful you know," he said leaning in close to whisper in Inuyasha's ear. Inuyasha growled in warning, Naraku only chuckled.

"I miss your ears though," he added. Naraku touched his now human ear and drew his claw down tracing the line of his jaw to his neck. A crimson line appeared from the contact making Inuyasha hiss in pain.

"So beautiful," Naraku said half to himself. Inuyasha closed his eyes. It would only get worse from here…

In some part of his mind Sesshomaru was thinking logically. He was thinking that without the wind demoness' directions he couldn't find Inuyasha. He was thinking that he didn't have a clue how to undo the shield spell around the castle. However, this part was buried very deeply at the moment under the rush of total rage that was running through him. All of the practiced control over his youkai had vanished in the few minutes it had taken to find out about Inuyasha's human night. There were only two things going through his head at the moment; get Inuyasha back and kill Naraku.

He let his instincts do the rest.

The forest abruptly ended and he came to a manor. He didn't stop and ran towards it. About twenty feet from the entrance he sensed something right in front of him. With his demon reflexes he was able to stop in time before he hit a shimmering barrier. It was strong, that much he knew, but it was also weakening.

Almost growling at the obstacle that kept him from Inuyasha he touched it to see what would happen. A shock ran through his entire body and had he been human he would have been knocked unconscious at the least. Just the small touch had given him enough knowledge about the type of shield it was though.

For example, he now knew that if he touched it again it would only be reinforced as it fed off his life energy. This was an energy barrier known as a 'feeder.' Whatever living thing came in direct contact with it would give the shield energy. If the thing was small enough or held on for too long it would die. It took a very powerful sorcerer, one who had dealings with hell demons, to erect such a shield.

Still, by dawn Kagura had said the shield would be down. Sesshomaru did growl this time as that crossed his mind. Inuyasha couldn't wait. Even now Naraku could be…

Without even thinking Sesshomaru drew tensaiga. He swung it at the shimmering in the air before him. There was a flash of intense white light and the barrier was gone.

He took off running for the manor with his sword still drawn with two things on his mind; get Inuyasha back, kill Naraku…

Inuyasha was barely hanging on to consciousness. Naraku had finally finished and pulled out of him with a satisfied smirk on his face.

It hurt much worse this time as he was in human form. He hadn't realized how much damage his normal body could take until now. Naraku stood above him admiring his work. Inuyasha's now black hair was tangled and matted with his blood. There were deep cuts all over his body; all of which were bleeding. Blood was forming in a puddle between his thighs. His expressive brown eyes were dull and lifeless now, glazed over with the pain and blood loss.

Inuyasha looked up at the spider demon hazily. For all the energy he'd used trying to fight him off there was not a mark on his pale skin. The only blood on him was Inuyasha's. He might have smiled bitterly if he had the energy.

Speaking of energy, what was that flare in youkai he'd felt? It'd seemed familiar but he couldn't quite place it. He was just so tired.

Inuyasha blinked a few times, he had to stay awake! Why? He couldn't remember; something about pride, maybe. After another minute though Inuyasha lost the battle and fell into darkness.

Naraku continued looking down at the beautiful hanyou. He could sense Sesshomaru coming in; he'd already broken through the barrier. With one more glance at Inuyasha he turned and walked out the door, disappearing in a cloud of poisonous vapors.

Not two minutes later Sesshomaru found Inuyasha. It looked bad. He was unconscious, lying in a pool of his own blood. Was he too late? No, there was the shallow rise and fall of his chest as the breathed, so he was still alive. Barely.

Sesshomaru's eyes returned to their normal gold, Naraku would have to wait; he had more important things to deal with. Like the flood of unexpected emotions that ran through him as he looked at his wounded lover. Fear, as much as he hated to admit it, anguish, and a hint of panic. Rage came after.

He didn't have time for this, Inuyasha needed his help now. Sesshomaru pushed his emotions aside letting his logic take over and kneeled down beside the now human hanyou to examine his wounds.

He was in serious danger if he didn't have his injuries treated properly right now, so that was first. Sesshomaru had been in many battles but only knew the fundamentals of treating wounds. He was a demon after all and didn't even need medical attention. Inuyasha was human right now so he would heal human slow, but for how long? He wasn't even aware until about an hour ago that Inuyasha even became human, how long did this curse last? Would he heal normally after he returned to his regular form?

Sesshomaru shook his head, this was getting him no where, he'd try another approach. What to do first for example. Looking down at his brother's still form he was at a loss.

Suddenly before his eyes Inuyasha's black hair became silvery white and his claws reappeared. Next Sesshomaru felt the approach of Inuyasha's friends. The miko girl was a healer, she could do something. With that thought Sesshomaru had to make a decision. They were still a ways off and Inuyasha couldn't wait. Did he really want to leave him here alone though? Thinking that way there really was no choice.

In a rare show of affection Sesshomaru touched Inuyasha's cheek tenderly and was off. He'd never moved so fast in his entire life it felt like, so why did time seem to be standing still? In a matter of moments he'd reached the group he'd left behind. The miko girl was riding on the back of the wolf prince.

"Sesshomaru! What-"

"Come with me now," he said to the wolf. Koga nodded and they were off. The rest of the humans would have to catch up.

Even with the shinkon shards in his legs Koga had to work to keep up. He could feel just how upset Sesshomaru was by the rise of his aura. He did not want to do anything to make the older demon mad at him, not right now. He had to try to keep his eyes from widening from the power radiating from the body ahead of him. He'd known Inutaisho's son's were powerful but he'd really only encountered Inuyasha in battle. Once he'd wondered what it would be like to fight Sesshomaru, if Inuyasha was that impressive being a half demon what of the full demon? Now he knew and he never wanted the full force of this pent up power directed at him. Kagome had other idea's however.

"Where is Inuyasha!" That was the fifth time she'd asked. Sesshomaru ignored her, thankfully.

The silver haired demon led them to what looked like a lord's house and didn't stop. The entrance was open and they raced down the grand hall to the private rooms. Sesshomaru stopped at what had to be the lord's room and slid it open.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome rushed over to the fallen hanyou and got to work on his injuries.

"What can I do?" Sesshomaru asked kneeling down next to her. Kagome was so lost in her work she didn't even register that this was Sesshomaru who had said that.

"We need to cover his wounds and get him back to Kaede's', she has more salves. Most of these will heal in a day but I don't want them infected. In my pack is a green salve that will help to disinfect them, plus the bandages."

Sesshomaru reached for the strange pack and found the items she needed.

"Koga, could you go find something to cover him?" she asked. Koga left leaving Kagome and Sesshomaru alone with Inuyasha.

"So Naraku raped him." Sesshomaru looked up from Inuyasha's face to watch the girl. She was concentrating on wrapping Inuyasha's arm in a bandage. He could practically feel the anger and sadness coming off of her though.

"Yes."

"Why?"

Sesshomaru shook his head. "I don't know." Kagome looked down at her friend's face sadly.

"This isn't supposed to happen to him. I don't know how he'll react. Girls are raised with the possibility that we'll be…but boys…"

She looked him in the eye. "You're going to kill him aren't you?" Sesshomaru was surprised at the venom in her voice. Still he answered her letting a small amount of the rage he was feeling creep into his tone, "Yes, he will pay."

They had a moment of perfect understanding looking at each other. Finally Kagome looked back down at her work.

"Good."
