Chapter 7
It's been a couple of days since our quartet had divided. Nyx and Sesshomaru went westward traveling to Koga's pack to visit. Nyx was apprehensive about meeting her birth-parents, she worry if they still wanted her or even loved her. She was worried that she was not good enough. But worries aside she and her canine demon companion was now resting for a moment. Sesshomaru sat impassively against a tree and Nyx was still practicing using her sword, Sō'unga with Inu no Taishō as her guide. She was beginning to look like a decent opponent to fight against.
Inuyasha, Allie and Takado had more or less stayed in the area they were in. Allie walked out with Takado to grab some fish for them to eat and she smiled softly at Inuyasha taking a nap. She came over and kissed his cheek gently as he slept and left him be as she made a fire so she could cook the fish. Inuyasha's foot had moved in his sleep and Allie couldn't help but giggle. 'He's dreaming that's so cute.'
Inuyasha foot twitched yet again as he was dreaming. One would think it's a good dream but it was a nightmare, a nightmare of Inuyasha newest fear, harming someone he deeply cares about.
Allie was running from him. "Inuyasha stop!" She screamed. There was death and blood all around them. Takado, Nyx, Sesshomaru, Sango, Shippo, Miroku, Kaede they were all dead. Slaughtered and covered in blood the scent of it filling the air. Allie turned around tears streaming down her face covered in the blood of her fallen friends. She ran to him and grabbed his hands. "Inuyasha please...it's me stop this.." she pleaded with him as she looked into his blood red eyes. She slowly reached up and held his face. "Inuyasha please..."
Dream Inuyasha's body was soaked head-to-toe in crimson blood. He had his claws ready to tear into Allie's flesh but he stopped. He tried again but couldn't attack her. He growled and stared into her eyes. "Allie..." he muttered.
"I-Inuyasha come back to me...p-please.." she was shaking in her fear and she caressed his cheek gently. "P-please..." her forehead went to his and she kissed his lips gently before a gasp escaped as his claws went through her body. She slowly fell down to the ground as her life ended. "I-inu..." her head fell to its side and her eyes never closed as she took her last breath.
"ALLIE!" He yelled in anguish causing him to jolt out of his sleep. "Allie!" He looked around frantically and stared at his hands, there was no blood. He sniffed, there was no scent of copper in the air. 'Dream...'
She yelped and almost fell forward and Takado jumped up ready and alert. She turned over to him and looked at him. "Inuyasha what happened?" She was completely okay no wounds at all. She came over to him. "Are you okay?"
Inuyasha stared at her his heart racing. He could feel it pumping. "You're ok.." he whispered and touched her cheek gently. "I didn't hurt you..." he pulled her desperately to him and held her tightly. "I didn't kill you..." he whispered in fright.
She blinked a couple of times in worry and shock and she slowly hugged him back. "It was just a nightmare it's okay." She kissed his cheek gently and sat in his lap as she hugged him gently. "Inuyasha it's okay...whatever it was it was just a nightmare..." she turned his face to hers and she kissed him gently before nuzzling him. "I know you would never hurt me okay? It didn't happen." She gave him a soft smile. "Now come on I made some fish." She grabbed some of the fish she put on sticks and handed him one and she started breaking it off carefully for Takado. His size had grown exponentially. The young fawn was now larger than the average buck and was practically a stallion. "That's my baby..." she smiled softly and petted him gently as she watched him eat the fish.
Inuyasha calmed down and stared at her for a long moment until he slowly started to eat. 'It wasn't real..' he kept reminding himself.
She kissed Takados nose gently and then looked at Inuyasha and kissed his ear and giggled. "Calm down okay...let's keep walking they'll find us but I sense a shard up that way." As she pointed to the North.
"Ok...let's go find it." He muttered and stood up. "How far north do you think it is?"
"Hmm...no idea...but it doesn't feel far away.." she reached back and held his hand as they walked and Takado was on the other side of her. She hummed a soft tune to herself and she sniffed and covered her nose. "Oh god what's that awful smell.."
Inuyasha sniffed and gagged and vomited. "What is that!?" He covered his nose quickly not wanting the smell to assault his nose
Allie looked up and she saw the source of the smell and she rubbed Inuyasha's back. In front of them were many slaughtered lizard demons and fish demons floating in the river. "Oh Kami.." she coughed and rubbed Inuyasha's back. "Let's get away from the smell.." she pulled him away and a little ways into the forest so the smell of the trees would mask the smell of the dead.
His nose felt a million times better. He took a big whiff of air and sighed. "That's better." He looked around. "How much farther Allie?" He looked at her fondly with a tinge of fear of harming her.
"I don't know...but this this has me worr-" she was cut off and she screamed as a large demon that looked like a devil with wings flew with her high into the air holding her close to his body. His skin was blood red and his eyes full on black. His fangs jutted out from his grin and horns that stood at least two feet tall on their on. He was easily over 8 feet tall without the horns and was extremely cut only having a small loin cloth covering his manhood. "Hmm an elemental with shards of the jewel.." he grinned. "You'll make a good concubine.." he grinned and licked up her neck eliciting a scream of her own.
"Let me go!" She yelled and was trying to push off of him.
Inuyasha growled deeply and pulled out tessaiga. "Let her go you bastard!" He got ready use the signature attack; Wind Scar. "Put her down or else I'll kill you!"
"Really now mutt?" He grinned and held Allies body tightly against him. He blew air into her face and his breath was red like blood. The stench made her eyes roll back into her head and her head fell back as she passed out. "You try to kill me you'll kill her in the process.." he ripped her clothes off of her and looked at her nude body in his arms. "Not bad...breasts are too big for my liking but she will be a good concubine.." he laughed deeply as he flew away.
Takado walked in front of Inuyasha. 'Get on. We can follow him and I'm faster than you.'
Inuyasha growled menacingly and got on Takado. "Hurry up...so I shove my sword through his chest! I'll kill that bastard!" He was on the verge of losing his temper.
Takado immediately started to run. His speed was almost unparalleled and his antlers started to glow as he searched for Allies energy. 'He's a demon from the underworld...they usually come up every 100 years to mark a woman as their sex slave.' He continued to run before coming up to a mountain. 'She's on top of the mountain.' Takado started climbing up the scale of the mountain.
Meanwhile Allie was being bathed in a red liquid. It was meant to clean her of impurities and it smelled like bleach. She slowly opened her eyes and covered herself. "Where am I.." she looked and saw she was still wearing the necklace Inuyasha gave her and the jewel shards. She got out of the water and looked and saw a black kimono robe folded. She put it on since she didn't see her clothes anywhere. 'Inuyasha where are you..' she was terrified But she kept her calm. She yelped however when the devil before came up and gripped her around her throat. "Even more lucky...you're in heat.." he leaned down biting her neck and she screamed loudly as her vision started to blur. "My little slave.." the devil chuckled deeply and Allie fainted once again.
"Hurry Takado! I heard Allie scream!" He yelled and encouraged the deer to move faster on the mountainside. It didn't take much for the white stag to increase his speed once he was stable on the new terrain. Takado bounced up the mountain as quick as he could in determination in finding his ward.
The devil sensed the hanyou and the deer and chuckled and walked out keeping Allie inside his estate on top of the mountain. "Ahh the half breed well hello there. If you think you're going to take my slave you're too late."
"Shut up! I'm gonna kill you." He growled out angrily. Inuyasha grip on Tessaiga tightening.
"Come here slave.." The devil cackled evilly and moments later Allie walked out but she appeared to be fighting her body and she was growling to stay away from him. "Ahh not as submissive as I thought." He grabbed her arm forcefully pulling her to him. She hissed and whimpered loudly and tears fell down her cheeks as he bit down on the slave mark. Allie lifted her head looking up and her eyes met Inuyashas. Inuyasha eyes widen and he snapped. His eyes changed to red and his hair became wild. His teeth jagged and demonic markings showed up on his face.
Allies eyes widened as she sat up and watched. 'W-what's happening to Inuyasha..'
'He's going into his full demon form! Sweetie you have to move now!' Izayoi yelled in her mind.
'But he's a half demon..' Allie was confused but started to move away.
'Yes but his father was so strong that there is enough power to make him go full demon when his anger gets out of control or when he's wounded near death!' Izayoi yelled further. The devil grinned and saw Allie trying to move and he grabbed her. "Oh don't worry I won't let my pet get hurt." He threw her off to the side and her back slammed into a tree. She hissed and fell down to the ground and looked up. '"I-Inuyasha..." she was more worried for him than the pain in her back and neck. Her blood flowed from the bite down her neck.
The devil laughed as he looked at Inuyasha. "Come at me then half breed. My name is Yamato. I thought you should know the name of the one who will end your puny existence!"
Inuyasha recklessly threw himself at the devil, Yamato. He growled and took ahold of his wings and severed them from his back.
Yamato growled and yelled in pain and threw the half demon into the estate. Eventually the devil fell to the ground and the two went toe-to-toe in a bloody battle. He barely clung to life as he looked up at the half demon. "F-fuck you...half breed.."
Allie scrambled to her feet. Takado had stayed next to her during the duration of the fight but she now held out her hand for him to stay back as she got up and slowly walked to Inuyasha. "I-Inuyasha..."
'Sweetie you must be careful Inuyasha has no control over himself in this state...and that demon is still alive..' Izayoi said worriedly.
'Inuyasha won't hurt me...' she continued to walk closer.
Inuyasha stopped his foot on Yamatos face killing him once and for all and he turned around quickly and grabbed her hand roughly. He growled and narrowed his eyes at her. He hissed and sniffed her and he watched the slave mark leave her neck as Yamatos life force faded.
She flinched and looked up at him and came closer to him. "Inuyasha it's me..." she gently touched his hand at his side.
He scratched her and lifted her arm to smell her blood. He growled and licked before staring into her eyes. "Mate?"
'Say mate Allie, this is important for you to say. His demon side is calling you mate.' Izayoi softly instructed.
She winced but nodded softly and nuzzled him gently. "Mate..." she whispered and bared the other side of her neck to him.
Inuyasha sniffed and moved his nose to her neck and bit down on the soft flesh. He kept her close to his body as he calmed down. "Mine..." he whispered and licked the bite mark.
The mixture of the pain and the pleasure solicited a soft moan from her and she held onto him so she wouldn't fall and she felt a blush come onto her cheeks. She saw his eyes change back but the markings stayed on his cheeks. She looked up at him and kissed him softly. "L-let's get out of here...we can find a lake and I'll wash your clothes..." she saw her bow and her arrows on the side of the estate and grabbed them and saw her bag there as well and she took it.
"M'kay." He muttered in a docile tone and followed behind Allie calmly. He looked around curiously. "What happened?"
Takado took them down the mountainside and she looked up at him. "Well that Yamato guy kidnapped me and marked me as a slave...you killed him and well..."she blushed and moved her hair to show him her neck. "You don't remember?"
'His memory of when he transforms often is a blur to him.' Izayoi voiced.
Inuyasha tilted his head and looked at her neck. "Not really, though marking you I do a bit. I didn't force...myself on you did I?" He began to panic a bit. "Or hurt you in any way?"
Allie inwardly nodded and looked up at him and kissed him softly. "No you didn't.." she smiled and once Takado got them to a river they got down and he went to rest. Allie pulled Inuyasha to the river and took off her robe and got in. "Take your clothes off I'll wash them.." her breasts floated on top of the water
Inuyasha looked down and nodded. He took off his clothes and sat in the water. He looked at his hands and stared at his reflection. She swam over to him and was washing the blood off of him and she nuzzled him gently. "It's okay...everything's fine.."
Inuyasha nodded and just pulled her in his lap and kissed her lovingly and possessively. He trailed his kisses to her neck and he growled lowly. "Mine..." he whispered and licked her new mark tenderly before taking her lips in a kiss once again. She shivered and stayed close to him kissing him back softly melting in his arms. Eventually they finished their bath and they curled up together in front of a fire.
Meanwhile,
'You're doing marvelous Nyx, extremely marvelous.' Touga voiced with encouragement laced in his voice.
Sesshomaru laid back against a tree meditating calmly to himself to help him relax. "Keep going."
'Why won't he stop!? I'm doing everything you do in your memories and yet he keeps telling me what I'm doing wrong! Bend your knees, spread your legs, lift your arms, keep your back straight! It's getting on my fucking nerves!' Nyx inwardly growled trying to keep her temper in check. She didn't want to blow up on Sesshomaru but he was annoying her with his constant critiques.
'Nyx...he's just trying to help...I think. Although in my eyes you're doing a marvelous job he probably just want to make sure you're perfect.' Touga whispered softly.
'THERE'S NO SUCH THINGS AS PERFECT! Everyone has their flaws including mister killing perfection himself.' Her eye twitched but still kept a lid on her temper
He rose a brow and stared at her. "Talking to the old fool again?"
'Blame his mother for his attitude...I loved Inukimi but she was a very cold woman.' Touga sighed. 'But she loves her son and is a good mother.'
Nyx wisely ignored Sesshomaru for the moment. 'How can I fucking get him to stop! Fucking hell do I need to thump him on the nose like a real dog or something? Why is everything that comes from his mouth an insult?'
'Sesshomaru...has problems conveying how he feels to others. He thinks emotions are useless and will make you weak, so in his mind he insults others so he won't get close or attached. But really he cares about the human child, myself, Inuyasha, including yourself and your friend. You all are his pack...and although he denies his feelings and cannot deny that.' Touga explained to the young demoness.
She blushed visibly. 'He doesn't care about me! We're just friends with sexual benefits end of story!'
'Is that really what you think.' He hummed and became quiet.
Sesshomaru slowly stood up and sniffed the air. "Let us go." He fixed his clothes that had become ruffled when he was sitting on the ground and looked to Nyx and rose a brow. "Why have you become flustered?"
"No reason, just something your dad said is all." She said and started walking. 'Not flustered.' She bit her lip
"Well the old dog is perverted. Seems in death that still hasn't changed for him." Sesshomaru hummed. He stood tall as he walked, it was obvious he was a man who had seen many things in his life. Many deaths many hardships many wars. He walked with dignity and the confidence a Lord should have.
She stopped for a second and watched as he walked. She huffed as she felt her cheek warm up. 'Stop it! You do not like him.' She continued walking ignoring her inner dilemma. "This time it wasn't anything perverted." Nyx muttered as she kept up with him.
Sesshomaru's brow rose slightly. "You're still flustered." He pointed out nonchalantly.
"No I'm not, shut up." She grumbled and ignored him. She looked around and folded her arms. "It's just hot and I hate the heat."
"Enough complaining ningen, you're acting like a spoiled child." He muttered uncaringly and kept walking.
She growled. "Spoiled! For your information you pompous lord! I was never spoiled! Allie and I lived in the most poorest conditions! We didn't have a mother and father to spoil us!" She was now pissed. 'How dare he say that!'
"Be that as it may...your attitude says otherwise, the weather is at the time where it's hot and humid, get use to it or silence yourself." He drawled.
Her eye twitched and she tossed a nice sized rock at him. "You spoiled asshole! Perra estúpida arrogante!" She growled and glared at him.
He growled and turned around and looked at her. "And what the fuck does that mean onna!"
"¡Eres tan arrogante! ¿Por qué tienes que ser tan idiota?" She glared at him and stared into his eyes and showed off her fangs challenging him. "Stupid! Arrogante! Puta!"
He barred his fangs and he towered over her. "Onna...I could end your life without a flick of my wrist.." his threat however was empty. "We may have an agreement going but that doesn't mean shit. I will not be disrespected by an onna that does nothing but complain."
"I do not complain! All I've done was follow your annoying instructions! Your dad even said I was doing great! And I dare you to touch me and watch I tear your balls off!" Nyx barked out angrily
He rolled his eyes. He looked to her with cold eyes. "If my instructions are annoying you so much then why do you continue to listen to them?"
She glared at him with anger and pushed passed him and walked. "Asshole." She muttered and saw a nice looking demon was hitting a tree. 'Hmmm.'
The demon was a jackal demon was fairly attractive and had a nice body. She got curious and walked over. "What are you doing?"
"I'm training my body to be strong, by hitting this tree I am increasing my endurance and strength in my punches." He says and turns to her. His eyes widen. "By the gods...you're beautiful..."
Nyx blushed. "Oh thank you...you don't look to bad yourself Jackal..."
"Call me Natsu miss." Natsu bowed and kissed her hand. Sesshomaru growled lowly and he stood in front of Nyx.
"Oh forgive me lord Sesshomaru I didn't realize this woman was your-" Natsu spoke quietly in fear of what the lord of the west might do.
"Leave." Sesshomaru stated and the Jackal demon ran away with quick speed. He turned to Nyx and huffed and continued to walk. "Keep moving onna. You want to see your family then we have to keep going."
"Hey! I was trying to make a new friend! Don't go scaring off people you ass." She grumbled and stared at Sesshomaru's ass. 'And what a nice ass he got...ugh no! You're suppose to be mad at him!' She started stomping as she walked. "Stop calling me onna dog."
'Nyx you need to stop. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru both got my temper. It's not something you want to see.' Touga warned.
Sesshomaru continued walking with her ignoring her until it became night time. He started a fire and laid back against a tree as a boar was cooking for them on the fire. 'Damn insufferable onna..' he looked her up and down. 'It's always the fucking crazy ones..'
'I can handle myself.' She said stubbornly and she stared at Sesshomaru. 'He's such an asshole.' She just wanted to punch his smug face. She sat down and folded her arms and looked away from him.
Sesshomaru was quiet and he started ripping off a piece of the meat. He held one out to her while starting to eat one himself.
Nyx took the meat and ate it slowly. 'But he cares in his own way.' She grumbled a bit and crawled closer to him and licked his cheek and turned away to finish eating. "I'm still mad at you."
He hummed and looked to her and his arm went around her waist. "I didn't like you looking at that Jackal." He spoke honestly and his grip tightened a little around her waist.
"Why?" She knew exactly why. He was jealous that her attention was diverted to another male. She felt his arm around her and couldn't help the tingling feeling she felt.
His eye twitched and he was silent. Expressing his emotions in words was difficult and he would rather do it with actions. He threw the meat in his hand to the side and pushed her down getting on top of her kissing her possessively and his hand went around her throat as he kissed her. He bit her lip as he pulled away. "That's why.." he grunted and sat back up and sat against a tree.
Nyx shivered and touched her lips. 'A possessive kiss. He was jealous. I knew it.' She sat up and moved closer to him and leaned to his ear and nipped it.
He hummed and looked to her. "Careful Onna...don't start what you can't finish.." he warned deeply. "With how I feel right now I'll make sure you can't fucking walk for a week." The feeling of jealousy and possessiveness still very prominent within his tone and his actions.
"Like you can." She challenged him and sat directly in front of him. "What's the matter Sesshomaru~" she began poking his chest. "Jealous? Are you jealous because I was looking at another man or were you jealous that my attention was not on you..." she tutted and touched his moon marking. "Or was it because he touched me hmm?"
He growled lowly as his eyes turned red. "Don't touch that. You don't know what that obviously means for a demon."
'You just asked to be his mate Nyx. Sesshomaru won't hesitate in his state right now.' Touga spoke softly.
'What!? I didn't mean to! I was just playing!' She yelled in her head. "What's wrong getting mad at me for touching you Sesshy?" She poked his chest.
"Onna. Do you wish to be mated to a lord." He stated seriously.
"What does that even mean?" She rose a brow. 'So...that means he had thought about it to ask it.' Nyx wondered.
''Being mates is like marriage for demons. Your body, mind and soul become connected into one. Your energies flow through each other as a symbol to other demons that you are taken.' Touga explained.
Sesshomaru growled lowly and he sat back down and looked away from her. "Forget it."
'Was Allie right? Does he really care about me that much? But why when we're just...fuck buddies.' She knew the answer to her question she was just denying it.
'Because he does care about you.' Touga whispered giving her the answer she sought. 'He really does care about you Nyx, he's not the same man that you're used to seeing in your present time. He will not hurt you Nyx. Trust him.'
She bit her lip and turned his head back to her. "I'm sorry." She whispered and kissed his forehead.
He looked into her eyes and was calm. "I'm going to ask again. Do you wish to be mated to a Lord...your actions are saying yes but if it is not what you seek then don't touch there."
"Do...do you promise to not hurt me?" She shrunk away and looked down.
He touched her hand gently bringing it up to his lips and gently kissing it. "I have never held the intent to hurt you."
"No...no you have not." She muttered and looked at him. "Can I think about it some more?"
He nodded. "Just don't touch my head anymore...unless you want to be ravaged and marked." He hummed and sat back. "For now rest we still have a ways to go before reaching the wolf tribe."
"Alright..." she muttered and leaned on him. She sighed and laid her head on his lap. "Quiero follarte." she said softly and smirked.
He rose a brow and watched her. "I don't know what language you're speaking."
"Estoy hablando español Sesshomaru..." Nyx grinned and her eyes glinted in amusement. "I said I'm speaking Spanish...a language that the Spaniards from Spain speak, but that dialect is from Latin America, the western lands across the ocean."
He hummed and nodded his head slowly. "I see..." he then started to speak in an old demonic tongue and he smirked at her.
She glowered at not understanding what he was saying. "You ass! I can't understand you! That's not fair..."
"How do you think I felt then." He chuckled and nipped her neck gently. Inside his clothes he pulled out a dagger with a blood red jewel on the hilt. "I said I wish to court you." He chuckled and held out the dagger for her. "You don't seem like you would like a necklace or a piece of jewelry."
"Y...you want to court me?" Nyx blushed and turned her head. "I don't know what to say.." she mumbled.
"Most would say yes.." he chuckled and took off the sheath on the dagger. "I made my first kill with this.." he hummed and looked to her. "I feel it's more meaningful if It is something that has meaning."
She thought about it. "Ravish me and yes." She took the dagger and looked at him. He grinned and laid her down and made rough love to her for hours until she was a shaking mess in his lap and passed out.
