Inu Tarzan: Consequences

Kikyo just settled down for an afternoon nap when she heard the yips and barks of her pack entering the cave. Knowing it would be rude to not welcome them home, she got up from Inu-Tarzan's bed and made her way to the main entrance. As expected her little sister Kaede was happy to see her as well as the other members of her extended family. To her excitement Kaede got herself a new mate from the brown pack and she was already expecting her first litter of pups. They were busy introducing each other when Kikyo felt someone coming up behind her. Before she had the chance to react two noses were sniffing and prodding her fur and backend.

"Hey!" Kikyo yelped as she quickly jumped away. "What the hell are you…"

"She's clean." Kagura interrupted as Rin continued to sniff in Kikyo's direction.

"Clean?!" Kikyo huffed as she shook out her ruffled fur in irritation. "What are you insinuating?"

"She smells like him but nothing more." Rin finished ignoring Kikyo's outburst.

"Good." Sessho said as he came to stand by his mates. Staring Kikyo down he said, "Where is my brother Kikyo?"

"Why?" Kikyo asked hesitantly. She didn't like the feeling she was getting from her alpha. It made her nervous when everyone turned to watch what was happening. "Is something wrong?"

"This one does not repeat himself." Sessho warned as he narrowed his eyes at her. "Answer the question."

"He left this morning to go to the humans." Kikyo answered honestly. She wanted to tattle on Inu-Tarzan but she didn't want to ruin their chance of being together either. Not when Naraku was close by. "Why? Is he alright?"

"Need not worry about Inu-Tarzan. He has lived up to this ones expectations." Sessho said as he looked over her shoulder to lock eyes with his betas. Seeing them move to either side of Kikyo he continued. "You on the other hand are a different matter."

"What?!" Kikyo whimpered as her ears pinned back on her head.

"Under witness of the gods and the silver inu pack, this one finds you guilty of neglect in reporting a trespasser, verbal harassment towards a higher ranked pack member, assault during mating season and public insult towards your alpha." Sessho said causing everyone in the cave to gasp and turn their disbelieving eyes on Kikyo.

"Hey! What are you doing?!" Kikyo shouted as two silver inu's came up behind her. Realizing what was happening she tried to escape but ended up being pinned to the ground. "GET OFF OF ME!"

"What the hell is going on?" Inu-Tarzan shouted as he rushed into the cave. Seeing Kikyo struggling under one of his brother's betas he growled and prepared to lunge. "Get your paws off of her!"

(*** Mark Mancina - Kerchak Speech ***)

"You will resist!" Sessho snarled at his brother when he saw that he was about to attack.

"WHAT? Why the hell should I?!" Inu-Tarzan barked as he watched Kikyo thrash under the males heavier weight. Her whimpers broke his heart. He didn't understand why this was happening. "What has she done wrong?! Why are you punishing her?!"

"She has broken inu law brother." Kagura said making Inu-Tarzan's eyes widen. He quickly turned his attention towards his brother and stared at him in disbelief.

"She what?!" Inu-Tarzan gapped.

"She has multiple offenses on her shoulders." Sessho said as he looked down at Kikyo in disapproval. "At some point she met Naraku before the mating season. She neglected to report an enemy to her alpha thus endangering everyone."

"How do you know this?" Inu-Tarzan growled. Even though he knew this already since Kikyo told him, he still didn't like his brother's accusation. "Did you have spies on her or somethin? If so, then you already knew of the danger therefore she didn't do anything wrong!"

"No, we didn't have any spies on her. Her reaction in recognizing who Naraku was at the mating grounds told me enough." Sessho said as Kikyo looked up at him with guilty eyes. "Her second offense was neglecting to inspect her suitors before battle. Her actions nearly killed a member of the grey pack."

"K-Kikyo…" Inu-Tarzan stuttered in shock. "Wh… why would you do that?"

"I didn't know it was Naraku! He was covered in mud and I thought he was a member of the brown pack. Before I could inspect him to make sure he wasn't wearing any spurs or blades he started fighting the grey inu!" Kikyo tried to defend herself.

"You could have called for Sessho to break up the fight! That's what he's there for! Why didn't you stop them?!" Inu-Tarzan asked only making Kikyo's eyes darken with shame.

"I wasn't thinking! Everything happened so fast and I was hormonal and distracted." Kikyo cried as tears began to fall. "Naraku threatened me when we met by the creek and I feared he was stocking me. I just wanted to mate with someone before he could get me. I didn't mean for this to happen! I didn't…"

"Your distraction nearly cost someone's life!" Sessho snapped shutting Kikyo's excuses up.

"Brother… I know what she did was wrong but can you cut her some slack? We're talking about Naraku here! He got into her head and she panicked!" Inu-Tarzan tried to defend her.

"And how little brother do you expect me to let this go? A member of another pack was injured for her mistake. Her immaturity and lustful thoughts will not bring them justice. Besides, that is not all she has done." Sessho warned making Inu-Tarzan's eyes widen in disbelief.

"She publically humiliated you to cover for her excuse to mate." Sessho said making Inu-Tarzan's cheeks blush.

"Well, drop that one." Inu-Tarzan waved off. "She already apologized."

"We figured that as much since she's covered in your scent. Don't worry though, we checked to make sure she didn't take advantage of you." Rin giggled only darkening his blush.

"I would never hurt Inu-Tarzan like that!" Kikyo snarled making Kagura snarl back at her.

"Yes, you would." Kagura challenged. "I bet you begged for him to take you back so you wouldn't have to mate with my brother didn't you? It was only because he was merciful in allowing you a place to stay that you smell like him isn't it?"

"I…" Kikyo stammered as she looked up at Inu-Tarzan to see him looking down at the ground with clenched fists. "I'm sorry…"

"Just drop it ok?" Inu-Tarzan growled out as he tried to avert his misty eyes from everyone. He couldn't believe this was happening. Being reminded of his shaming was painful and knowing Kikyo was only after him to save herself hurt even more. Nonetheless, he still loved her and didn't want her to be cast out. "What happened is between us. Forget it even happened."

"Fine, this subject will be dropped but Kikyo turning her back on this ones protection in front of not only our pack but our brother packs is unforgivable." Sessho said as the betas began to pull Kikyo towards the entrance.

"No! Please! Don't send me away!" Kikyo begged as she tried to fight them off. She looked despreatly from one member of the pack to the next. Each one stared at her with pain and regret. "Inu-Tarzan! Kaede! Anybody! Please! Don't let him do this!"

"Don't." Sessho warned as he saw the desperation in Inu-Tarzan's eyes. "You know this must be done. If you walk out that door you are taking her sins upon yourself. You will never be permitted to come back."

"Inu-Tarzan!" Kikyo howled as they drug her out of the cave's entrance. "Inu-Tarzan please! Don't let Naraku have me! Don't let him win!"

"Forgive me…" Inu-Tarzan whispered as he lowered his head in despair. A single tear rolled down his cheek knowing there was nothing he could do to save her. She betrayed him, and now... he was betraying her.

"Noooo!" Kikyo howled as they drug her further into the jungle. Although they could no longer see her, her howls and cries continued until silence filled the western jungle once more.

"Why?" Inu-Tarzan whispered to his brother. "Why did you give her to him?"

"You know why." Sessho said as he turned his back on his brother.

And Inu-Tarzan did. Kikyo's actions could not be ignored. If Sessho ignored her sins they would not only risk war from the grey pack but every outcast that was still alive. They would come begging to be pardoned of their sins causing chaos and destruction in their wake. Plus, the gods had fated Kikyo to be with Naraku. If they held Kikyo from Naraku he would retaliate. He'd take their weaker members out one by one until he got what he wanted. Kikyo was a liability not only to the pack but Kagome as well.

If Kagome chose to be with him Kikyo would fight back. Although she promised she would try and make it work he knew deep down in his heart that she wouldn't be able to. She'd kill Kagome before she had the chance to defend herself. He hated to admit it but his brother was right. His time with Kikyo was over. It was time to put their history behind them. That didn't take the pain away however. His mind kept replaying visions of her begging and crying out for his help in his head. He felt guilty for betraying her. He'd sworn to protect her and now, he was throwing her to the one being he'd wished to save her from.

Naraku would claim her now and there was nothing he could do about it. If he went after her he'd be disobeying his brother's orders and betraying his pack's trust. He couldn't do that if Kagome was going to be a part of his life. He had to let Kikyo go so he could protect Kagome. He just wished it didn't have to be this way. Knowing there wasn't anything he could do about it he forced his legs to turn away from the entrance of the cave. Catching his brother's attention he motioned for him to go to his den.

"What is it you need to share with this one?" Sessho asked as he settled himself down on a bed of furs in the corner. He took note of the new smell filling his brother's chambers and found it smelled pure and clean like honey and spring flowers. "You've brought your new bitch here."

"That's one of the things I need to talk to you about." Inu-Tarzan said as he sat across from his brother. "We've got a problem. One of the human males has threatened me should I continue seeing Kagome."

"How did this happen?" Sessho asked as he noticed Inu-Tarzan's bruised shoulder. "Did he injured you?"

"Yeah, the damn bastard tricked me." Inu-Tarzan huffed hotly as he massaged his shoulder with his palm. "I was spending time with Kagome yesterday afternoon in her shelter when the bastard came in with a gun over his shoulder. He gave me no choice but to follow him. When we were alone in the woods he began to explain how a gun works."

"Did you learn how to destroy it?" Sessho asked urgently.

"Hell yeah." Inu-Tarzan smirked cockily as he got up from his bed. Walking over to the rocky shelf along the wall he picked up the golden bullet casing he'd found in the bamboo forest months ago. "This is a bullet. It's the key to making it work. Without this thing the gun is basically useless. They can still hit ya over the head with it like a club but its nowhere near as deadly. If we can find where they are hiding these bullets we don't have to worry about the guns anymore."

"So how did you get that injury?" Sessho asked as he memorized the scent of the bullet.

"When I shot the gun the damn thing kicked back and hit me in the shoulder." Inu-Tarzan explained making Sessho's eyes widen a little in surprise. "It hurt like hell. I thought my whole arm was going to fall off. That's when he got me. The coward pulled a smaller gun out from under his shirt and stuck it right on my side. I had to stand there like an idiot and listen to his whole damn spiel about Kagome being his."

"Hn." Sessho hummed as he thought over what Inu-Tarzan said. "What did he threaten you with should you go to her?"

"Besides my head being blown off you mean?" Inu-Tarzan mocked as he put the bullet back on the shelf. "If I go back and see Kagome he'll hunt down the pack and take her away forever."

"The fool will die for such insult!" Sessho snarled.

"I feel yeah." Inu-Tarzan said as he crossed his arms over his chest. "I did learn from the ass hole that they will be leaving soon."

"How soon?" Sessho asked. "This one will not stand for them to leave without being punished. These humans have slaughtered our lands for long enough. It's time they taste a piece of their own medicine."

"I won't argue with you there." Inu-Tarzan agreed. "I have an idea of where they're hiding the bullets. If we get rid of them then all we have to do is figure out how to get rid of the ones already loaded in their guns." Inu-Tarzan said.

"These bullets are their main source of power correct?" Sessho asked as his mind began to scheme.

"Yeah?" Inu-Tarzan asked not following where he was going with this.

"If their supply of bullets is removed from the equation the humans will be forced to eat what supplies they have left. Once that is gone then the humans will be forced to use the remaining bullets in their guns." Sessho said making Inu-Tarzan smirk.

"Ha! I get it!" Inu-Tarzan laughed. "Alright, so we nail the bastards as soon as they are too low on supplies. That ought to teach them for messing with us."

"Hn." Sessho smirked. "Those who manage to escape our grasp are welcome to leave with their ship."

"Kagome said their boat would be back soon." Inu-Tarzan frowned as his ears pinned back on his head.

"What is it?" Sessho asked when he noted his brother's sad expression.

"I... I asked her to stay…" Inu-Tarzan sighed.

"This one takes it she said no?" Sessho asked.

"She's thinking about it." Inu-Tarzan said as he rest his head back on the stone wall behind him. "I talked to her grandpa about it this morning and he explained to me that she's got a lot to loose if she stays here. The world they come from is very different and she would struggle living here. I gave her a week to think it over. I want her to stay with me but... (sigh...)"

"This one understands." Sessho nodded. "You have done what you can. Now it's time to let the fates guide her."

"That's what I'm afraid of." Inu-Tarzan grumbled as he ran his hands down his face. "Somehow the fates have already begun our bond. I can feel her heart beating inside me."

"Then take it as a good sign." Sessho said as he got up from his spot and made his way towards the door. "The fates would not have begun the bond were it not meant to happen."

"Let's hope you're right." Inu-Tarzan said as he got up from his spot and followed his brother out the tunnel's entrance.

[End of Chapter 22]

Authors Note:

This chapter was inspired when Tarzan brings Jane, the Professor and Clayton to see the Gorillas. Kerchak finds out and gets angry with Tarzan. He along with the other apes feel betrayed that Tarzan would go behind their backs. Tarzan is then left with the dilemma of staying with the gorillas or leaving with Jane.

I also wanted to add in the betrayal of Kikyo and Inuyasha from the anime/manga with Naraku. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Thank you so much for reading.
