Inuyasha Fanfic-
Well I'm Back! I know, I know, you're all ecstatic (as you should be) though a little angry….BUT THIS WAS A SHORTER GAP!
I've recently been writing really long stories on a single document that I don't post and those have been distracting as well as starting another story I'm also not sure if I'm going to post on my new favorite movie but I said to myself "_(I'm not telling you my name) you will not write another chapter of you're Sweeney Todd story until you update your other stories." So here I am! ENJOY!
Please Review!
Oh yah and I don't own Inuyasha but have you heard? ! The English dubbed version of The Final Act is being released in America in January! (I prefer dubbed because I multitask and I can't be reading what the charters are saying while writing or texting now can I?)
Chapter 14-
Well this sucks.
I have no idea how but Koga had somehow found a way to hide his scent. It was strange for him to run away like this, it wasn't the Koga I knew but then again if I found that Koga was supposedly in love with someone else I'd take to the hills too and I wasn't one to back down either.
"Find 'im?" a familiar voice asked as he dropped from the trees.
Even though his scent had been in the air since I left it still startled me when Inuyasha just appeared behind me. So I jumped and screamed, like any normal, strung out person would. This of course scared Inuyasha causing him to fall over. He looked so stupid I burst out laughing, calming my nerves a little.
"Thanks." I gasped then became serious again, "But no, I haven't found him, I can't even find his scent!"
"Where do you think he went?" I shrugged, shaking my head in disdain.
"I don't know." I collapsed on the ground and buried my head in my hands.
"So what was with that other guy anyway?" I lifted my head halfway to glare at Inuyasha, not liking his tone.
"That was Ben, he's like my brother." I replied, "We've always been really close and we call each other those names as a joke." I knew he heard our conversation so I didn't bother to elaborate.
"Hey…where's Kagome?" I asked suddenly, curious why the half demon was with me and not his not-so-secret crush.
"Back at the inn." He said and glanced around, taking a deep breath, for what reason I didn't know that was until he shouted at the top of his lungs,
"GET OUT HERE YOU SCRAWNY WOLF!" he bellowed, scaring me again. I yelped and glared at Inuyasha,
"Will you stop scaring me? !" I snarled but he ignored me, his ear twitched and I focused on whatever he was hearing…it sounded like footsteps very very fast footsteps. Koga? So all I had to do was insult him and he would come running? Really? I opened my mouth but Inuyasha shook his head,
"Quiet. He doesn't know you're here." I felt great appreciation for the half demon and I almost smiled at him but then Koga burst through the woods obviously itching for a fight.
"Look you mangy mutt I—" his eyes found mine and I saw cold hatred flash across his. I flinched.
"Look Koga—"
"I don't want to hear any lies." He growled. I got fed up, I had been freaking out, feeling sick about being thought to have been cheating so I snapped.
"Great! Then Listen to me!" I hissed, stepping forward. "I ain't in love with Ben, he's a very close brotherly figure to me and you, mister, are overacting."
I wonder how awkward this was for Inuyasha….
"Well it sure seemed like you were." Koga spat back, his pride was to obviously hurt to give up so easily.
"Maybe but we used to joke like that all the time." I replied heatedly
"Well how was I supposed to know that? !" I rolled my eyes,
"YOU ASK!"
"Well excuse me for not thinking of asking when I see my mate hugging some other guy!" my eyes narrowed at him and I gestured to the half demon watching us in confusion.
"I've hugged Inuyasha does that mean you think I love him too?" I growled,
"Hey! Leave me out of this!" Inuyasha objected but we ignored him.
"How should I know?" he growled looking away from me. I recoiled and blushed,
"Uh…Inuyasha…I think you should leave." He didn't need to be asked again, he was gone in a second, I almost smiled but then I noticed the glare that Koga was giving me and it died. I sighed and stepped forward, taking a different tactic.
"Look, Koga, I'm sorry if I made you think differently but I do not like Ben, Inuyasha or anyone else like that but you." Koga's glare faltered and backed up.
"How should I know you're not lying?" he hissed.
"Because I'm not?" I asked innocently, stepping forward again.
"uh…" I smirked
"Look, I'm sorry." I said sadly, "I guess…I didn't technically do anything though…" he still looked hesitant so I batted my eyelashes,
"Please forgive me." I pleaded and shifted back to my wolf demon form, knowing it may persuade him. He looked even more undecided. I sighed,
"Koooogaaaa." I whined, he made his decision and smirked.
"Don't whine Ketsu, it makes you sound like a pup." I smiled,
"So you forgive me?"
"I guess…" I smiled and jumped him, wrapping my arms around his neck.
"Oh thank you!" he rolled his eyes.
I smiled up at him but it fell quickly. I turned away from him and sniffed the air.
"Blood." I breathed.
"Huh?" Koga asked, a little dazed, why, I don't know…maybe I was to close…I mean my tail was brushing against his leg at the moment but we had more pressing matters.
"Blood…I smell blood…and a lot of it!" Koga snapped out of his daze and scented that air as well.
"The village…the children…everyone…WE NEED TO MOVE!" I gasped, shifting my forms again to the fastest demon I knew on land and tugged Koga along, "Move!" we took off running.
When we showed up in the village it was a war zone. Demons prowled everywhere, carrying weapons coated in blood. I gasped and launched myself at the nearest one.
I attacked it over and over again but no matter how many times I hit it with a killing blow if kept coming at me. I even cut off it's head but it just picked it up, reattached it and kept coming at me.
"What…the…hell? !" I panted.
I shifted my form for the first time in the battle and the strangest thing happened: all the demons stopped attacking. I frowned, I had been fighting in my cheetah demon form for the speed but I knew I needed strength so I had become a dog demon…did they want a dog demon? If so…where the hell was Inuyasha? !
But no, it had nothing to do with my newly chosen form, it was just that I switched forms.
"You are she, she who is every demon in one." One of the demons said creepily. I raised an eyebrow and scanned over the demons, now that they weren't trying to kill me I could check to see if any of them had a jewel shard. But strangely enough I noticed none.
"You have questions." The same demon said. I frowned and didn't answer.
"Come with us." I opened my mouth to question them but they answered for me.
"We will leave this village in peace if you do." That sealed the deal right there.
"Fine." I stepped forward and they surrounded me in an instant. I immediately felt uneasy and glanced around me in distrust.
"You do not trust us." I gave him a look, asking how stupid he thought I was with my eyes. "Smart girl." They pounced me.
I let out a loud yelp but they simply bound my hands and forced a gag into my mouth, they also looped a sturdy rope around my throat, the rope continued making it so I had a leash. I snarled at it and curled my lip back, barring my teeth at the demons but they ignored me, pulling me through the town.
I glanced to the side, trying to find someone to help me, they tied my wrists at the perfect position: I couldn't get my fingers around the ropes to untie them. I looked around desperately and my eyes fell on Miroku, who was trying to care for a fallen Sango.
"Miroku!" I tried to get out but it sounded more like "Meerohu" but he seemed to get the idea and looked up. His eyes fell on me and widened slightly.
"Ketsu?" I glared at him and thrashed around but they yanked on the rope, snapping it around my throat. I gasped but just as Miroku stepped forward to help he was knocked back, rendered unconscious as well. I whimpered and tried to go back and help but the rope was yanked again and I was forced to keep walking.
We didn't run into anyone else, much to my horror so I was forced to keep walking.
They led me through the forest, deeper and deeper until the trees blocked out almost all light, I tried to shift my form to get something with even better sight but every time I tried the rope was yanked sharply, cutting off my air for a little.
Finally we arrived at a large encampment that reeked of blood and death, human and demon alike. I also caught the whiff of living beings and of tears. I scanned the area and my eyes fell on a group of women, among them Kagome. I tried to call out to her but all I got out was "Kahoheh." And she didn't get it, she was just trying to comfort the women around her.
"Ah! The demon of many forms!" a huge demon called from the center of the encampment, he was sitting on a throne that bore the main scent of blood and death, mostly because it was made of bones, some still baring flesh.
I tried to get a response out but I couldn't.
"Remove the gag!" he commanded and the cloth was taken out of my mouth. I spat out a mouth full of cloth particles and glared at the demons,
"What do you want?" I snarled. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Kagome's head snap up in shock.
"I want you on my side." The demon purred.
"And I want to go home but we don't always get what we want." I retorted.
"I could make this you're home."
He tried again but I really couldn't take him seriously…he was just so…stupid looking. As if sensing my thoughts he stood up and walked towards me and as he did his features melted into a more serious looking man with dirty blonde hair and piercing red eyes. He shooed the demons away from me and grabbed my leash instead.
"My only home is with my tribe." I hissed, my resolve not changing even though there was a sort of hypnotizing quality to his eyes.
"Why would you want to stay with the dirty wolf demon tribe." I raised an eyebrow at him,
"When did I ever say anything about the wolf demons?"
"I know you stay with them." He said off handedly. I glared at him,
"Why would you need me on you're side anyways? You have undefeatable demons by your side." I tried flattery now but it didn't work,
"Oh please, they can only live for two weeks before they drop dead on their own accord." To prove his point about five demons dropped dead for no reason. I stared at them and literally watched them decompose.
"That's disgusting." I said dully, "But I'm still not joining you for a few reasons: one- you kidnapped me. Two- I don't know what the hell you're after and three- I just don't like you, you insulted my tribe and you creep me out." I listed off easily.
"You make it sound like it was an option." I smirked,
"It always is, though stupid demons like you always seem to think that it's not." He growled at me, I mean a real growl but I ignored him and tugged at my bonds half-heartedly.
"Well I didn't want it to come to this but I think I have something that may convince you otherwise." I froze, those words never end well.
"What?" I hissed.
"Before I show you I want to know what the priestess chooses." He turned to the women and Kagome was pushed forward.
"I'm with Ketsu, I refuse to work with any man-eating demons like you." She said bravely. I smiled briefly at her and turned back to the demon.
"There you have it, two of the most powerful women in this era and we both refuse to work with you now will you please let us go?" Yes, I had now sunk down to begging.
"I have something that should change both of your minds." He said, blatantly ignoring my pleads. Kagome and I glanced at each other, not liking the sound of that.
"Bring 'em out." He called and there was a sound of scuffling and pained swearing. We both froze,
"Kagome…"
"Please tell me I heard something wrong." The priestess whimpered.
A team of ten demons came out dragging none other than Koga and Inuyasha with them. Kagome freaked and tried to lunge forward but I simply sighed,
"Koga…we really need to stop getting captured." He looked up, his face bruised and bloodied and still smirked,
"I was thinking the same thing Love." He spat out a mouthful of blood and turned his attention to the human/ demon, I rolled my eyes and turned to it as well.
"Now will you join us?" it asked. I groaned in annoyance,
"Haven't we been over this already? We don't even know what you're trying to recruit us for!" I snapped.
"Aw, of course how rude of me. There is a great war coming up, demons versus other demons, and we need you both on our side." Kagome looked ready to give in but I wasn't so sure.
"What's the war over?"
"The power to reign over all other demons, save you of course." I rolled my eyes,
"How very flattering now, how is winning a war going to give you the strength to rule over all demons, except for me." I asked, somehow succeeding in making pleasant conversation when my mate was being held hostage.
"The winner will be gifted the Orb of the Gods which gives the owner the power to do whatever they wish, mostly controlling others." I nodded slowly,
"Sounds great, so how am I disclosed from this orb's power?" If this fool wasn't careful I was going to be able to get a lot of info out of him he didn't want to disclose.
"You, my dear (cue snarling from Koga) have more power than the orb itself, making you immune to its powers." I made a face that symbolized interest and glanced at Koga.
"I really don't want to get involved, I have enough problem figuring where those damn jewel shards are." Since the demons that surrounded me had been so focused on their master they didn't notice me shift the form of my arms into those of an insect, making the bonds to loose so they slipped off my arms.
No one appeared to hear the dull thump of the ropes hitting the ground, or they acted like they didn't because I saw Koga's eyes flash very quickly to me and Inuyasha's ears twitched.
"Well then, what about you little Priestess?" the red eyes demon moved to Kagome and lifted her chin with him hand so he would look at him, Inuyasha snarled in anger and lunged forward,
"You get your hands off her!" he commanded angrily. The demon ignored him and suddenly tightened his grip on Kagome's neck, making her gasp in pain.
"Kagome!" I screamed and lunged forward, snapping the rope around my neck with a simple slice and tackled the demon to the ground.
Much to my surprise he did not seem surprised or worried in the least, he actually seemed happy I had pinned him, also he was a whole lot stronger than he looked. Thanks to that little fact he was able to push me over and pin me to the ground. I snarled and trashed but was unable to move or shift forms for that matter.
"What did you do?" I hissed, picturing the dog demon I wanted clearly in my mind but still finding myself a wolf demon.
"I have not taken your powers if that's what you thought." He said, leaning in uncomfortably close. "I have simply disabled you from using that special ability for the moment."
I glared at him, still very uncomfortable. My cloak was gone and my pelt had rose up dangerously high.
"It's time for me to make up your mind." He hissed. I opened my mouth to object, seeing how that made no sense, but he closed the gap between us, pressed his lips to mine and everything went black.
