Sesshomaru did not awake being knocked out by her spiritual energy. He was alive just not responsive. The door to her room was still open and she screamed until her throat was hoarse and still she yelled more.

No one came. There was no rescue for her as Naraku held her down and reduced her kimono to shreds using claws. He cut into her skin as he did so causing her to cry out as the scratches burned and bled.

Kneeing her legs apart forcefully she bucked her hips and kicked her feet. His arm laid across her chest as he squeezed her breasts hard enough to bruise and hurt.

She tried to bite him. She did scratch him with her nails but it only seemed to arouse him more as she felt him press against her through his hakamas.

Cold fear ran down her spine as her surroundings became brighter and she heard a ringing in her ears. Her stomach lurched as nausea kicked in and she vomited, choking on it only receiving a laugh from Naraku.

Sitting her up quickly he hit her hard on her back forcing the bile to dribble down her chin and stain the remnants of her clothing. Gasping for air as he forced her onto her stomach he held her hips in place as he angled her.

Pressing down on the back of her head he held her hair tightly at the roots. Forcing her face into the ground she cried out feeling blood gush from her nose as it made contact.

"Help!" She managed out coughing as her angle made it hard to breathe.

"It's useless Kagome." Naraku said gripping her tightly by the waist digging his claws into her skin. "Even if anyone comes, you're mine. They will take Sesshomaru away to be executed and you will watch, knowing that you let your love die because of your inability to control your energy."

"No." Kagome cried as Naraku thrusted into her. She whimpered as he laughed at her before groaning as he forced himself into her again.

"Yes. It will be so beautiful to watch you break. This is just the beginning." Naraku pulled her head back by the hair forcing her neck to crane painfully. "Maybe I will implore your father to keep the demon alive to watch you carry and birth my child before he is executed. Yes, that is what I will do."

Wailing pitifully Kagome saw Sesshomaru begin to come to. "No. Not now." She cried.

"Perfect, perfect." Suddenly feeling Naraku go lax before slumping away Kagome scurried quickly closer to where Sesshomaru lay and turned around quickly.

"Kagome, I am so sorry I couldn't get to you sooner." Miroku pled as he knelt down beside her. Taking off his outer robe he wrapped it around her tightly.

"Naraku is a half-breed." She whispered. "My energy came out and it hit both of them. I don't understand, how did Naraku get up so quickly after my attack but Sesshomaru didnt."

"Perhaps it is because the fact he is a half-breed. Maybe your purifying abilities did not affect him as much as it would a full demon." Miroku said.

"What did you do to him?" Thinking he had used maybe some technique with his spiritual awareness.

"I whacked him over the head." Miroku said somewhat sheepishly.

"Kagome." Sesshomaru glanced to her. Sitting up he took in her appearance as Miroku knelt beside her. Her face was bloodied and bruised beginning to swell. She was wrapped in Mirokus purple robe and he knew what had happened.

By her side quickly he pulled her to him. "My beautiful wife. Forgive me for not being able to protect you."

"It's not your fault. Naraku is…he's cruel. He wants to have your head and for me to watch." She whimpered. "That was the worst part. Not the beating, not him forcing himself in me…it was the thought of losing you because of me."

Miroku moved to the burning hearth and put the end of his staff into it to heat it up. Once it glowed red he went to Naraku. Ripping his top kimono off he burned the seal of his staff into the half-breeds back.

"There, his powers are sealed for good. Whatever they may be. He will not be able to use his demonic energy to allude capture if that is what happens." Miroku said. "Sesshomaru, can you stand?"

"Yes, I have recovered enough." He said. "Jaken has placed the barrier. We can leave but none may enter until it dissipates." Standing he picked Kagome up in his arms cradling her to him.

"Then we should go to the others and inform them of this." Miroku stated. "Whatever they decide to do from there is on them."

"Agreed." Sesshomaru said walking out onto the balcony. Miroku followed and welcomed the assistance as Sesshomaru jumped down to the garden.

Kicking open the locked gate they came to the main compound where all hell had broken loose.

Fires burned in the main compound as guards were strewn about the ground. Some were still standing and fighting but the demons far out numbered them to begin with.

"Sesshomaru." Miroku said motioning towards the execution platform. "They have the captain and Sango."

"I can see." He replied watching as they had the captain already hanging by his neck but Sango was still alive. Her face was burnt from his attack earlier which had hit her eyes it seemed as she kept them shut.

They had hung her by her wrists to hang down and stripped bare. Deep lashes covered the entirety of her body with blood flowing freely down her form to puddle at the ground below her.

A group of assorted males had her surrounded from the sides and rear as they beat, fondled, molested, and raped her.

It brought him no pleasure to see one of the males holding her in place while another brutally forced himself into her body from behind.

She was still conscious as she winced from the attack but didn't make a sound, he knew the feeling of not giving your captors the satisfaction of hearing your anguish or your pain.

"Take Kagome." He said handing her off to Miroku. As he grasped her in his arms Sesshomaru took off to the head of the crowd walking briskly. "Cease this."

The few who were there stopped and backed off from Sango. He glared at her before turning to the others. "Listen, all of you." His voice boomed across the grounds calling everyone to attention.

"It is done. The seal is broken, we may leave. I suggest you do before the barrier comes down and other humans arrive. There is a safe haven to the north. Whomever desires to go is welcome to do so or you may do as you please. The choice is yours."

Turning towards the torturer he took a deep breath. "If you survive this night remember, that despite everything you have done to me, this Sesshomaru spared your miserable life."

Cutting Sango down as Miroku came up to him he got close enough to Sesshomaru to whisper.

"Take the captains keys before the others find them. If the demons break into the mansion on their own then so be it but I will not be responsible knowing I could have prevented a raid on the main house."

Searching the captains belt he found the large ring of keys attached to it. Snapping the belt he took them off placing them inside his kimono.

Looking around he saw the cause of the fires as Totosai blew a steady stream of flame from his mouth.

"Totosai." Sesshomaru ordered catching the elders attention. "With me."

"Yeah sure, may as well. This place is as good as gone." Looking around at the chaos he walked with a few others to the slave quarters.

"We leaving?" Koga asked coming alongside him with Ayame.

"Lady Kagome?" Ayame touched her exposed arm. "What happened to her? Demons didn't do this to her, did they? After everything she did for us…"

"No. The man her parents picked to be her betrothed did." Miroku said.

"Ayame, can you tend to her as we leave?" Sesshomaru questioned.

"Of course I can Lord Sesshomaru." She nodded her head affirmatively.

"The cart's set." Koga said. "Totosai, you comin'?"

"Well, I may as well. Rebellion's a younger demons game and I could use a place to retire to in my old age." He said as Koga led them to Mirokus cart.

Miroku laid Kagome down in the back. "I will fetch Jaken." He said. "See if he is coming with us."

"I'll grab more supplies to tend to Lady Kagome." Ayame said. Koga went with her while Totosai made certain the dragon was hooked up properly.

Sesshomaru climbed into the back to kneel next to Kagome. Brushing her hair aside she opened her eyes meeting his.

"Hello." She greeted hoarsely.

"Hello." Sesshomaru said smirking. "We will be leaving soon to go to Mirokus monastery."

"My parents…"

"I don't know. They are fortified in the mansion. We have the keys to the compound so perhaps they will have a chance at escape."

"The others are revolting then."

"Most, yes. Ayame will tend to your injuries on the road. Koga and Totosai are coming with us as well along with some more."

"Lord Sesshomaru!" Jaken called out running towards the cart.

"And Jaken." Smirking at him Kagome winced.

"We'll see Shippo and Rin again. Soon."

"Yes my little one, we will." Leaning down he kissed her forehead lightly. "Rest. We are almost there."

Nodding Kagome closed her eyes.

By the time she awoke it was already midday. Confused she stared up at the slow moving sky as she heard the creaking of the carts wheels and felt the bump in the road.

"Lady Kagome." She heard Ayame say. "How are you feeling?" As the events came back to mind she sighed out.

"My face hurts and my head is pounding." She whispered.

"Here, sip some water my lady." She offered assisting her to sit up a bit to sip from the canteen. "Your injuries are not severe. I bandaged the cuts to your torso and hips. Your nose is broken but will heal."

"Thank you." Clearing her throat she laid back down. "Where is Sesshomaru?"

"He is walking in front of the cart with Jaken to scout ahead. Don't worry my lady, we will be stopping in a few hours time. You will see him then." Ayame said kindly. "I want to thank you, for everything. The northern mountains were my home, where my pack lived. I am hoping that maybe someone is still there."

"That would be wonderful Ayame." Kagome said. "I hope your family is there." Closing her eyes once again she fell back asleep.

Feeling herself being lifted she cracked her lids open again to see Sesshomaru. "My love."

"It's good to see you awake mate." He replied bringing her to a small campfire that had been built and started.

"I'll take first watch." Koga said.

"Very well." Sesshomaru nodded as he sat Kagome down in front of the fire. "Ayame has made a stew for you." Ladling a small amount into a wooden bowl he handed it to her which she gratefully accepted.

"Thank you." Sighing she leaned against him as he sat beside her. "How far are we?"

"Miroku has said it is four days to his monastery, so another three days journey."

"Good." Sipping at the hearty broth it filled her with such warmth she shuddered. Sesshomaru wrapped his arm around her shoulders and adjusted the thin blanket around her better. "Naraku didn't finish in me. Miroku stopped him before he did."

"What happened was my fault, my own inability to keep you safe…"

"No husband. It wasn't. Naraku just wanted to hurt me for the sake of hurting someone."

"If you were to become pregnant by him I will still be here. I will not abandon you." He stated.

"Thanks but we're okay. The only babies I want are yours."

"Once we are settled then that can be arranged." Feeling Kagome settle against him further he glanced down at her.

He had always wondered what it would be like if he were ever free again but he could never imagine it would feel this good.


A/N: Hello dear readers. So, this story is not done but this is the last chapter I have penned out. I won't be able to write much because I will be very busy the next two days with work. I will write more on my next days off later in the week.

I have wanted to write a Naraku rapes Kagome scene for a while, I don't know why...I have issues, and I guess it came out alright. Now a hundred percent happy with it but it works.

I don't like using slang words for body parts or sexual acts unless it fits in the story, if the characters say it then fine but I try to come up with different ways to explain sex because it makes it more challenging.

Anyways, enough prattling. Let me know what you all think of this chapter. Yay, they're free! Hopefully it's smooth sailing.

Happy reading.
