Rin had absolutely adored the painting I did on the bottom of her board. I was very proud of my work and happy she loved it. The next month with Sesshomaru was a bit awkward. I was still collared to him. We slept, ate and spent ever day together. Yet as spring began to fall across the land I found myself at complete ease with him. Kagome had her pup and it was a little boy. It looked like a perfect blend between Kagome and Inuyasha. Inuyasha was absolutely proud of his son. He often carried him around showing him in affection he was never shown as a pup.
Though I could see that Sesshomaru was a little disturbed that his younger brother had a pup before he did. I felt kind of guilty for that. Then again Kagome was already pregnant before becoming a weredog. It also didn't help that he was no longer pressuring me to mate him, other than still being collared to him. There was also gifts he would just randomly gave me.
It seemed that the pack got really busy last winter cause almost half out women were now pregnant. I swear if there was so much pregnancy hormones flowing through the air that even the men's bodies would react to it. It was both irritating and pride inducing. The pack was getting bigger but now we had a bunch of hungry and emotional females. I have my cut out for me.
Then there was the matter of Timber and Chiro who has started 'Going out' or courting as he would call it. It was slow progress but unless Chiro messed up big time it was only a matter of time before they mated. I was really happy for her! We were able to set up a fence for the horses we bought from the near by villages. Timber was more than happy to look over them, so far we had seven. It was more than enough for us.
When she wasn't tending to the horses she was recruiting and training other's to be trackers. So far she had eleven trainees. There was sometimes I see her on the verge of tearing out her hair after dealing with them. It was interesting to watch and I could only imagine her struggles. She was training women, some of them had once been court ladies.
"Kia?" I heard Kagome call out. I turned around to face her while Sesshomaru just stayed in his spot against a tree. "Well, I was wondering. Now that spring has arrived could I possibly take a trip to Edo?" Kagome asked.
"Edo?" I asked.
"The village near the well." Kagome clarified.
"OH! Right, well I see no problem with it. Just be sure to take Rin and my little brother. As matter of face take Eric's funky ass with you." I said scratching the back of my head. I then looked to Sesshomaru for his approval.
"Acceptable." He nodded his head.
"When do you guys plan on going? I know Inuyasha will be coming along with you. I suggest making him a baby holder for his altered form."I said chuckling at the thought of their son strapped to his back the whole way. It would be adorable and funny!
"In three days, that's if Rin and Damien agree to that time. I don't think Eric really has a choice in this matter." Kagome mused.
"He never does he's my personal push around boy. He asks for it! Doesn't he?" I exclaimed.
"Yeah...He's going to end up being mauled to death by something mad at him. He's really lucky there are no longer demons. Well, enemy demons that is." She sighed heavily. Eric was kind of the village idiot as well. If he didn't half the shit he did on purpose I would have pity on him but no. He's just an annoying asshole.
"It will be of the female gender." Sesshomaru put in making me snicker.
"I have to agree with you there. He chase tail too insistently. Poor guy just feels left out I think. I mean, everyone seems to have mates or at least have imprinted on someone." I stated.
"That's true but he won't find anyone with the way he's going about it. He's worse than Miroku." Kagome grumbled.
"Well, go on and ASK Rin if she wants to go. Tell her and my brother you already have clearing from us." I said waving her off.
"Thank you Kia, brother." Kagome smiled before walking away. I could feel the irritation rolling off of Sesshomaru in waves.
"Hey, come on she is your sister in law! Don't be that way. Just because you and Inuyasha don't see eye to eye doesn't mean she can't still think of you as her big brother in law! I think you should be happy! After all you did try to kill a few times." I scolded him.
"That..."
"Dont you dare say half breed! He and you are now both weredogs. Equally so might I remind you. If anything only me, Eric, Jeremy, Timber, Gregory, Hailey, Jasmine and Damien are full blooded! If anything you can be considered a half breed now so check your privilege." I stopped him before he even had a chance. He looked back at me giving me the dirtiest look he has ever pointed in my direction. I didn't back down from it. I meet his gaze head on keeping my features ridged."Don't give me your shit, you know I am right. You're just too prideful for your own good and happiness sometimes." I snapped.
"You have no right in my business."
"The hell I do I've been collared to your ass for over a month now! You've quite literally been dragging me all up into your business! Not only that but I am the Alpha female! I am you supposedly intended mate on top of that! I have every God damn right to get into your business! I've been working to change my goals! To change myself for you and the pack! If I had it my way I would be free and everything would be like it was. Yet here I am stuck with you by force! Trying to work on making the best of the situation no matter how much it hurts my pride. Every day is a slap to the face, a reminder that right now I'm nothing more than a dog on a leash. But oh noooo! Heaven forbid if your wrong and your pride is hurt! Oh the agony! Woe be to poor Sesshomaru!" I mocked him angrily. We sat there in silence glaring at each other. He even had the decency to actually frown at me. I got tired of our glaring contest so I got up and walked off toward the nearest tree to him. I jumped up onto a thick branch and let one of my legs dangle.
I swung it back and forth rapidly releasing some pent up anger energy. I understood his resentment towards Inuyasha for him getting their father's powerful sword. However Sesshomaru got a sword as well and it was just as powerful, just not in the way he wanted. Inuyasha had a tough life so he needed that sword to survive. Was it not enough that he grew up in the wild all alone after his mother died? Can't they bury the hatchet once and for all. They were in the same pack and Sesshomaru was the Alpha. He was powerful enough as it was and no longer wanted Inuyasha's sword! Inuyasha even looked after Rin while Sesshomaru left in the village for years! He took his brother's pack member and treated her like one of his own! It was obvious that a small part of Inuyasha wanted his brother's acceptance! He was just waiting for his big brother to take the first step.
"Alpha." I heard Hailey come up to me. She looked nervous as all hell. Which instantly made me alert to my surroundings.
"Yes Hailey. Come on now, you know you don't have to call me that." I said down to her.
"I've got something to confess to you. Please don't get mad. There was no harm intended." She started off fidgeting where she stood. I suddenly got the feeling that I was about to get very very angry with whatever news she had for me despite for asking me not to. Sesshomaru snapped his head up over to Hailey piercing her with his gaze. Now that, just made me suspicious.
"Hailey, spit it out." I ordered.
"Female, we have no time for trivial matters." Sesshomaru bit out as she took in a big gulp of air. Her eyes widened on him then landed on me.
"Of course we have time, speak honestly now." I snapped glaring down at Sesshomaru. 'What the hell is he trying to stop her from telling me?' I wondered looking back to Hailey. She nervously cleared her throat and took another deep breath looking directly at me. I had to give her props for ignoring Sesshomaru's angry aura directed right at her.
"Gregory's Nanna is the one that knew how to collar. It was Gregory that told Sesshomaru about it. He and Damien visited him on night and spoke about it. Gregory only admitted this to me about a week ago out of guilt. I...I couldn't not tell you. I felt guilty knowing and I couldn't have done anything to stop him! Please don't be mad at him, he had the packs and your interests in heart." She spat it all out in a hurry starting to tear up towards the end begging me. I blinked and process this new information. My pack, basically betrayed me, even my little brother! I was pissed."Please please please! We are sorry to have betrayed your trust please don't get mad! Please don't hate us! We just wanted everyone to be happy!" She sobbed shaking under the pressure of two angry Alpha's. She wasn't able to handle it. So she bowed quickly and ran away with unnatural speed. Once she was gone I jumped down and started walking towards the village only to be stopped by the collar. That made me growl viciously and about face to Sesshomaru.
"Get up and follow me! I need to go gather up the dog pound and my Omega." I snapped out an order not caring who the hell he was. I needed to talk to them right now!
"No." He said quietly and that was all I needed to come unglued. I didn't bother starting up a argument, I jumped him. I don't think he was expecting me to just straight out attack because I landed a solid right hook right to his nose. I could feel the collar trying to stop me from harming his as I swung but I was able to stop it from hindering me by stopped it by drawing power from the entire pack. The sheer amount of power in me alone was enough to break his nose. I wouldn't be surprised if I even managed to fracture his skull with my muscle added behind that power. My punch sent him stumbling backwards a couple of steps. I didn't stop to see the look on his face or the blood pouring from his nose. I kept coming at him not giving him a second to rest. I started raining down punches on him screaming out my rage. I went for anything I could reach, throat, face stomach, and even his dick. He began to block my punches after the second hit on him but I was still able to get some in. 'I'm going to put this mother fucker on his back even if it kills me!'
When he landed a punch to my gut I was winded and became even more enraged at him. It did nothing but fuel my rage. He's the reason my pack mates went behind my back. 'This is all his fault! If he could've just left me alone everything would be fine. What is me being single doing to the pack? There was still females getting pregnant so they are obviously not that effected by me not planning to have kids! The pack is on the road to treating women with respect! I see nothing about the pack that is being harmed by my personal life!' I ranted in my head. I my anger made my body move on its own to harm him. I was starting to see the edges of my vision black out. I was so pissed and had so much energy in me that I could taste it almost.
The last thing I saw was enough to make me grit my teeth until they all were ripped out by the force. His face, it was as calm as ever. I don't recall what happened after that. I have never blacked out during a fight before.
DAMIEN'S POV
"What the heck is going on?" I asked alarmed feeling my energy being taken from. Almost the second it happened Hailey came running into the village with tears streaming down her face. Gregory was the first to catch her but soon almost the entire pack was surrounding her. Me and Rin looked at each other fearing the worse before we rushed towards the gathering crowd.
"I am so sorry! I know I have betrayed you but you know Kia has been miserable. I just couldn't see her go through that anymore! I'm so sorry." I heard Hailey sob into Gregory's chest. I pushed my way through the crowd until I was standing beside Hailey.
"What did you do?" I asked.
"She told." Gregory said simply.
"She told? As in, she told TOLD?!" I panicked.
"What did she tell Damien?" Rin asked looking to me in confusion.
"Yeah Damien? What did she tell Kia?" Timber asked from the crowd in anger.
"We need to go. Rin, Timber, the pound and myself will go to the Alpha's. The rest of you stay back. This is none of your business and will be resolved much better if as little people as possible go." I yelled out to the crowd gathered. I heard many of them grumble protests or their consent.
"Omega Damien is right. Go back to your business people." Chiro barked out that made the crowd clear away leaving only the nine of us standing around. As a unit we began to walk back to where Hailey had just ran from.
"So is someone going to explain what is happening to me before we go deal with it?" Timber snapped out as soon as we were out of ear shot from the rest of the villagers.
"My Nanna told me how to place a collar on another werebeast. Damien and I went to Sesshomaru and told him how to do it. We also suggested placing it upon Kia. To Damien's defense he knew it was happening and left before I could explain how to do so. He didn't want anything more to do with it." Gregory explained.
"YOU BASTARDS! WHO ELSE KNOW OF THIS?" Timber screamed out stopping in her tracks. She shot accusing glares at us all and eventually all but Rin, Chiro and herself were ducking their heads in shame. "All of you guys fucking knew? What the hell happened to the Dog Pound? What happened to Kia being our Alpha? What happened to our pact? Did it mean nothing? Do you guys not trust her enough to make her own decisions in her personal life?" She scolded us all before breaking away in a sprint. Chiro was quick to follow her.
"Damien? Is it true?" Rin whimpered.
"We thought it was for the best." I said looking away from her. I couldn't look her in the eye right now. I don't think I will be able to look Kia in the eye either. How is she reacting to this? There really was only one way to find out. I began chasing after Timber and Chiro. The others followed quickly behind. Before we could even see Kia we could feel her and eventually hear her. She sounded like a wild animal. When we got there it was shocking enough to leave us all stunned.
Kia was fighting with Sesshomaru. It wasn't just any fight either. She was literally trying to kill him. The hits Sesshomaru would giver her weren't even slowing her down. It was like she wasn't there anymore. Like she had turned into an animal hell bent on killing Sesshomaru. Chiro and Timber was the first to react. They both tried to get a hold of Kia and restrain her. It only resulted in her shrugging them off. She didn't bother hitting either of them, her only target was Sesshomaru. He looked bloodied and bruised. I've only seen an Alpha fight to the death once with another and it wasn't pretty for either one of them. My uncle ended up in the hospital for three days. The other Alpha died on the spot. With the energy she stole from the pack I was more that sure that she was way stronger than Sesshomaru at the moment. This was bad, really bad.
"KIA! STOP! PLEASE IT'S NOT JUST HIS FAULT!" I yelled finally shaking myself out of my frozen state. I needed to calm her down, to stop her. When she came too, if she killed Sesshomaru, she wouldn't be able to live with it. She would become cold and distant with us all. I even for a moment selfishly feared she would take away my title of Omega. I would deserve it though. I am supposed to be 100 percent in her side even if she is wrong. She is supposed to trust me no matter what and I failed her, even if my intention where good.
She didn't hear me so I rushed forward to help Chiro and Timber restrain her. Soon the rest of the group was stepping between them. She just kept pushing us all away. It was so hard to even get a grip on her. Jasmine ended up getting caught in the face with her elbow. I was tossed to the side with ease that I never had felt her toss me with. This was bad! Finally she got so sick and tired of us crowding around her that she roared out at us. It was a command to stay out of this fight. Only Chiro and Gregory could ignore this demand. The rest of us scurried back hesitantly. Everything in my body screamed to get back but my instincts were literally forcing me away from my Alpha. Never had she ever used her Alpha rank over us. It hurt, it hurt so bad to know I help create this horrible rage in her. I could feel my bottom lip quiver as I felt the need to just start crying. 'Sis, please stop.'
"Alpha Kia, you will hurt the pack by killing Alpha Sesshomaru. You must stop now." Chiro bit out. She didn't even look in his direction.
"Stand down. She will not kill me." Sesshomaru demanded coldly. Now both Chiro and Gregory was dodging out of the way as Sesshomaru shot forward. All we could do is watch. Rin sobbed loudly pressing her face against my chest. She couldn't watch and with each snap and crack she whimpered loudly flinching. Sesshomaru looked like he was no longer holding back.
It was now an all out brawl but Kia was just so... beastly. Her canines and nails grew out. Her heel snapped and raised up. Leaving her on her toes and front pad of her feet. She snarled constantly and just oozed pure killing intent. Sesshomaru was looking pissed himself. Slowly he started working his way up more and more to where his hits where with killing intent. When I noticed this I couldn't hold back anymore. I turned me and Rin away as I cried silently on the top of her head. I wasn't the only one to do so either. It was no only Chiro and Timber watching what was going on.
I wanted so badly to just walk away right then and there but I just couldn't. I felt like if I did it would just be spitting in her face more than I already have. I started thinking over everything from her point of view. It did nothing to help me. It only made me realize just how big of a gamble we took in showing Sesshomaru how to collar her. I wanted to be angry with Hailey for spilling the beans but couldn't. If anything she was the least guilty of us because she actually told her. It just made me feel much worse. If anything I WISH I was the one to break down and tell her. I know that everyone in he group who knew felt the same. I wasn't alone in that at least but it didn't ease the feeling in any way.
It was hours, painfully ticking by slowly, before I heard a pause. Gathering up the courage I looked back. Kia was on top of Sesshomaru. Her arms were shaking as she gripped his head tightly. She had him pressed into the dirt and the entire back of his head was bloodied, no it was basically gone. Along with his throat and the front of his chest. Not that she wasn't filled will all kinds of slashes and missing chunks of meat. Yet with the power she was still stealing from the pack was making them heal faster. I know she was drawing more than she should just to make it where Sesshomaru couldn't. His eyes where closed and he was still. Yet she still was holding him down growling.
"Kia...You killed him..." Chiro whispered in complete and total shock. "How is that possible?" Chiro asked. I was completely shocked as well. I looked to the rest of the pack and saw my own pale face reflected on theirs. Kia blinked rapidly a few times and stopped drawing from us. She looked down at Sesshomaru's head still clutched in her hands. Then suddenly she snapped her head towards us. The anger was still there but the most noticeable emotion was agony.
I saw tears quickly form and fall from her eyes. Tilting her head back she let out a howl the shook our bones. It was a mix of human and inhuman echoing around the trees. It held the weight of a deep soul crushing sadness. Like the cry of a lonely dog who just lost everything and everyone it loved in one swing. Everyone had tears gathering in there eyes as we felt the shift of power go from between Kia and Sesshomaru to just her. Her single howl kept going for what seemed to be an eternity.
When it stopped she began to scream out. She let go of his head and laid hers into his open chest cavity. Never have I ever seen her sob so uncontrollably. No one dared move. I felt helpless and when Rin finally realized what happened she too began to howl in heart break. That was like her father, her savior and now he was dead. Kia popped up and was gone within a split second.
"What have we done? What has she done?" Hailey screamed out collapsing to her knees.
"This is all of yours fault! You caused this! You fucking caused THIS!" Timber screamed out being held back by Chiro as tears fell from her eyes. "How could you? HOW COULD YOU? Kia has been nothing but good to us! She was there for us all when we needed her most! She's always lead us the best she could and how do you repay her? WITH BETRAYAL." Timber wailed.
"Hey! How were we supposed to know this would happen? It's not our fault that she went full Alpha Rage mode and killed him." Eric tried to argue back.
"Guys...I can't feel Kia anymore." Jasmine gasped out. We all paused and felt nothing as well. No longer were we worried about who was to blame. We shot towards where she left following her scent as it went to the village. She circled around it in the woods then shit out randomly.
"She's going to the palace." Rin realized as we spotted the back of the building. Once inside we saw the after math of her tearing through. Their was doors and walls completely destroyed as she made her way to Sesshomaru's room. Half way there we found his mother weeping almost silently in the hall to his room.
"My only son..." She sniffed.
"Is Kia in his room still?" Jeremy asked.
"No...she left with his father's fang." She said dabbing away her tears.
"Thanks." I blurted out running outside the palace. We sniffed around desperate to find her scent.
KIA'S POV.
"What have I done? What have I done?" I screamed out. I sucked in a sharp breath as I rushed past all the other pack members. I was clutching HIS sword of life tightly to me. Before I even reached my destination I spotted the reason I was heading there in the first place. Inuyasha and Kagome were standing around discussing something. Both looked horribly worried and their son was safely wrapped up in Kagome's arms. They noticed me as I stopped before them. "I need you to come with me right now! Just you Inuyasha!" I demanded grabbing his hand. Kagomes eyes widened as I then began to pull her mate away towards the woods.
"What the heck Kia?" Inuyasha exclaimed half heartily. I didn't dare answer him until we were out in the woods.
"I kill your brother!" I sobbed out.
"What...How? I couldn't even kill him!" Inuyasha exclaimed in shock.
"I backed out shortly after starting a fight with him. I learned that my old pack members have been hiding how he learned to collar me!" I spat out.
"Collar? What the fuck is that?" Inuyasha asked no longer being dragged behind by me.
"He trapped me too him in an effort to get me to agree to mate with him. I couldn't go far from him." I quickly explained.
"I was wondering why you suddenly were attached to his damn hip. So why do you need me so badly?" He asked as we walked to where Sesshomaru's body was laying. He stopped and slowly approached his brothers corpse. His sword was pulsing like crazy against my chest. I felt like it was crying out at the sight of it's master dead body."Holy shit...You fucked him up really good." He exclaimed toeing his arm to see if he was really dead.
"Can you use his sword to bring him back? I didn't really want to kill him! I just wanted to beat the shit out of him for all the shit he has put me through! Please..." I cried holding out the sword to him.
"Okay...I'll try." He said taking the sword. He quickly brought it put and stood before his brother's body with furrowed brows. I cried waiting for something to happen, anything, but nothing happened. "Kia...I can't." He realized ears flattening over the top of his head.
"No." I blurted out panicking. "It was just pulsing like crazy a second ago! This can't be, he must live! The pack needs him damn it! I NEED HIM ALIVE!" I yelled taking the sword from him. Once in my hands it began to pulse violently. Around Sesshomaru's corpse I could see imps poking at his body getting ready to take his soul away. It made me sick to my stomach. In anger I swung at the hell spawn."GET AWAY FROM HIM!" I screeched. They all died with ease once the blade touched them. I panted and watched as Sesshomaru's body slowly started to piece itself together. Then, his eyes flew open. In an instant he was up looking around. First his surroundings, then Inuyasha and lastly me. He eyed his sword in my hands then looked me dead in the eye. His eyes were so hard, so cold.
"Onna." He bit out sharply making Inuyasha and myself flinch.
"I can't believe you revived him." Inuyasha said both in bewilderment and irritation.
"Half breed you will leave or die." Sesshomaru demanded.
"Please go and tell the other's to stay away. Everyone should know that he is alive now." I murmured quietly to him. He looked between us before walking away reluctantly. Sesshomaru wasted no time in closing the distance between us. I expected him to take a hold of me by the throat but instead he grabbed a fist full of my hair. I gasped but didn't fight him away.
"You lost control of yourself." He clipped out coldly. It made me flinch again. I wasn't used to feeling this mentally weak. I didn't care that I was crying or letting Sesshomaru grab me by the hair right now. His sword and its sheaf was dangling at my side still in my hands.
"I am sorry...This has never happened to me before." I whispered. He kept looking me directly in my eyes. It felt like he was peering into my very soul. Then, it came like a bucket of cold water. His lips crashed down onto mine. They were demanding moving with the angry need of a starved animal. I didn't fight it, I didn't add to it. I let him do what he wanted as I cried silently. 'I deserve this...I killed him. I lost control and killed him. No wonder my friends went behind my back. I just proved to them all why I'm not a good Alpha.'
"Follow." Sesshomaru ordered pulling back and letting go of my hair. I nodded my head and offered him back his sword. He took it and placed it back into its sheaf. Turning away from me he began to walk back to the village and I followed. He was in no hurry thankfully. 'Mom, Dad? Would you be ashamed of me now? I miss you. I miss the old times and our world.' I asked looking up to the sky.
