Inuyasha couldn't sleep. He had tried to at least lie down and rest, but to no anvil; he was very nervous about the coming morning. He had never killed anyone before… And he was killing someone in front of judges and witnesses of the court. He kept asking himself questions about the whole thing. Would they want the killing fast or slow? Would Hojo's family be there? Would he have to kill him with his bare hands? It was all so vague. Yes he had to kill him but how was it supposed to be done. He turned his head to look at his mate sleeping on her back; her chest rising and falling with every precious breath. He followed her body down to her stomach where his children were starting to show. He was also wondering how his children survived the whole ordeal; Kagome was stabbed after all. He sighed as he turned back onto his back. Looking the opposite direction from his mate, the alarm clock on his nightstand read "3:48." He sighed. "Well I guess there's no use in trying to sleep. I guess I'll get up and get ready…"
After a shower, he walked into his gym area and up to a glass case holding his fire rat robe. He entered a code to open it and took it out. Feeling the material, he remembered when his father had given it to him. It was his 50th birthday and his father told him to wear it in battle so it would give him extra protection. He hadn't worn it in quite some time but he figured that today was as good as any day. Pulling on his clothing he also pulled his sword, the Tetsuaiga, from its case as well. He unsheathed it and it instantly transformed into a fang. Inuyasha swung it a few times, remembering the feeling of holding it and wielding it.
"Inuyahsa?" Kagome called from the door. She had woken up when she hadn't felt his presence beside her in the bed. Walking to the gym, she saw her mate in a red kimono and wielding a fang like sword.
He turned to see his mate standing at the door way. Her belly protruding slightly in the shirt she was wearing. He sheathed his sword and walked towards her. "Hey babe. What are you doing out of bed?" He asked while caressing her check and giving her a peck on her lips.
She smiled and replied innocently. "I missed you…" She said, enveloping her arms around her mate's neck.
He smiled slightly as he completed the embrace, placing his nose at her neck, breathing in her wonderful scent. He sighed against her neck, causing chills to run up and down her spine. "What's wrong Inu?"
He sighed again and lifting his face up to look into her eyes. "I have to leave soon…" Knowing that she would understand.
She sighed then. Cupping his cheek, she stood on her tip-toes and placed a chaste but loving kiss on his lips. "It'll all be over soon..."
He nodded his head in agreeance. Touching his forehead to hers, he basked in the comfort she was giving.
"Do you want me to come?"
He shook his head at this. "I don't think that's a good idea Kagome… You stay here. I'll get someone to stay here with you should you need anything."
She understood his reasoning. She smiled slightly. "I love you…"
He smiled too. Capturing her lips with his own, he gave her a kiss that stopped time. It was so filled with love that Kagome almost stopped breathing. It ended too soon but they knew that they would have a lifetime of kisses to share. Today was a start of a new chapter in their lives and they hope that their bad luck ended today. "I love you too Kagome…"
Inuyasha arrived at the site where the sentencing would take place. He mused; it was much like the roman gladiator arena. He was shortly greeted by his father, and both of his brothers. He sighed as he watched the three walk up to him.
"Are you ready for this?" Toga asked him
He sighed again. "I guess. I just want to get it over with. I didn't get much sleep last night because of all of this mess…"
"Ah so that's why you look like shit!" Miroku tried to make a joke, but failed miserably; especially when he got knocked in the head by Sesshomaru.
"Baka…" Sesshomaru mumbled under his breath as he started toward the door of the building.
Toga shook his head at his sons and looked toward the sky. "Well Inuyasha, it looks to be about that time. Let's so get this over with."
Inuyasha nodded once and followed his father and brother into the building.
Witnesses and families of the victims were already assembled in the arena. Midoriko and Bokuseno were also there presiding over the sentencing. Inuyasha looked toward the middle of the arena and saw that Hojo had not appeared yet. He noticed that it was about ten minutes to dawn and people were still coming in for the sentencing. He decided to prop himself up against the wall to wait for everything to begin.
Ten minutes later, a bailiff ushered Hojo out onto the field of the arena. He was wearing a black yukata and a very scared expression on his face. Bokuseno and Midoriko stood up and the crowd got quiet.
"Hojo Akitoki, on this day, the tenth day of the month of March, two-thousand and ten, you have been sentenced to death by a group of your peers for the acts you have committed in the past year. Do you have anything to say before your sentence is carried out?"
Hojo looked up with brazen eyes and just smiled at the crowd.
With that the two judges sat down and Inuyasha made his way out to the field. Hojo looked up and laughed. "Ah! So you are the one that's going to kill me? Inuyasha was it?"
Inuyasha said nothing as he unsheathed the Tetsuaiga. He continued walking towards the bastard.
"Oh! Cat got your tongue I see…" Inuyasha still didn't talk, just continued to walk towards Hojo.
"Well since you're not going to say anything I guess I'll do all of the talking. So I see that Kagome spread her legs for you, since she's sporting a nice baby bump… How did it feel not to have claimed the little whore's innocence like I did?"
Inuyasha faltered in his steps before continuing toward him; his eyes starting to bleed red.
Hojo saw this and smirked. "So it seems I struck a nerve. Yes you will have her heart, mind, body and soul, but she will never completely belong to you, you know. That little piece of her is going to ALWAYS be mine! How does that make you feel, INU-YASH-A?"
Inuyasha stopped completely then. He was starting to breathe heavily and his beast was rattling at its cage to be let lose; to kill the bastard that would say such things about their mate!
Hojo laughed then. "Well it seems that it makes you feel bad; doesn't it half breed? To know that her maidenhead was taken by the likes of me; a rapist, a murderer… And on another note; I am very surprised that she still carries that abomination inside of her belly; the knife I uses was a very big one and should've killed it! But it seems that Kami had other plans… Oh! You know, it could be my child! HA! Wouldn't that be interesting? You having to raise your mate's rapist's child!" No sooner had he uttered those last words, he was hoisted up in the air by a very livid looking demon by his throat.
"That is the last thing you will ever utter you heartless bastard! Firstly, the CHILDREN that are growing inside my mate are, in fact, MINE! I can smell it and also feel their auras. Secondly, NOTHING, I repeat, NOTHING of hers will EVER belong to you!" The demon squeezed a little harder around the human's throat and he finally saw what he wanted this whole time; fear. He smiled, showing off his enlarged canines. "Now you'll know what it feels like to suffer; I was going to end your life quickly, but not even the likes of you deserves such a privilege!" He threw the human down onto the ground and proceeded to pummel him till he was swollen and couldn't move; he was still breathing when the demon continued.
"This is for Eri and her family…" He then proceeded to break the man's arms. Screaming in pain, the demon smiled and continued again. "This is for Yuka and her family…" He broke Hojo's legs. Hojo screamed in pain again but he was losing consciousness. The demon realized this so he decided to kill the abomination before he blacked out. He grabbed a hold of the human's privates and said menacingly, "And this is for my mate, my children and my family! I hope the Kami have a special place for you in hell for you to relive this moment for all eternity!" The demon yanked hard, separating the rest of Hojo's privates from the rest of his body. The demon then proceeded to slit the human's neck and left him for dead. He started to walk away but turned back to the man lying in a pool of his own blood, "You left Kagome for dead; that was the best thing you could've done for her. Now I'm leaving you for dead; and no one will care…" The demon walked away, picking up is discarded sword on the way, hearing with delight, the last gurgly breathes of Hojo Akitoki. He smiled, finally, it was done.
