*NOT FOR THE LIGHT OF HEART* compared to this the other chapters are downright fluffy. You have been warned. -SG

Attempted Rape and Suicide

"So it's settled," declared Sango. "We all go to save Kagome and Shippou. TOGETHER."

A meek group of males nodded. Theyhad been debating for the past few hours on the best plan of attack for Sesshomaru's castle. Since Sango and Mikoru were not demons, their powers would not be diminished, despite the fact that they were in Sesshomaru's territory. Kouga and Inuyasha would be heading up the second wave, plus actually going in to rescue Kagome...er and Shippou...if they remembered.

"Well, now that that's taken care of, I suggest we get some sleep." Mikoru pointed to the quickly darkening sky. "Tomorrow's going to be a long day."

The others nodded in agreement as they picked out their sleeping arrangements. Sango rooted around in Kagome's oversized knapsack for something to eat as Inuyasha contemplated in a nearby tree.

'Why?' he thought to himself. 'Why did I have to be so stupid? Kagome must hate me, for leaveing her unprotected like that. Feh. I promised to protect her always, didn't I? Now, look what I've done. All the demons were right, I'm just a stupid hanyou. A nothing, a nobody with something to prove. Sesshomaru was right. Kouga was right. I don't deserve Tetsaiga...or Kagome. When this is all over, I should just back down and let Kouga take her...if she wants him to that is. Fat chance she'll still want me after this-

HOW...COULD...I...HAVE...BEEN...SO...FUCKING...STUPID!!!'

Mikoru looked up at his friend with concern in his eyes. He certainly hoped Inuyasha was going to be alright...

"Now that's enough!" shouted Kagome. She could barely believe what had just happened. Sesshomaru had...licked her...inappropriatly. She shuddered at the thought if he didn't stop, not that she could do much about it. Again, she wished for Inuyasha to come and save her...if he still could.

Sesshomaru's instincts were beginning to take over. He, being male, was aroused and she, being female, should let him take her. That was the only signal he was recieving. And so he, being male, didn't stop.

Despite Kagome's stuggles he held her fast to the bed and proceeded to lick her breast again. His body shuddered with anticipation. His demon instincts were confused on why the female below him whimpered so often. Didn't she want this too? It was of no consequence, he was going to do what he was bred to do whether she wanted him to or not. He dipped his lower, tickling her stomach with his breath. He wanted to feel that flesh against him...NOW.

With a feral grin he sat gently on the stuggling Kagome and proceeded to undress, revealing to her to full state of his arousal. Kagome blushed deeply and tried to look away, but the demon lord grabbed her head and forced her. Then he slowly slid the writhing girl foreward, drawing himself nearer and nearer to his desire. Now Kagome's struggles were only serving to excite him further. He wrapped his arms around her and pressed her against him, capturing her mouth in a rough and bloody kiss. Sesshomaru's tail lashed in excitement as it wrapped itself around the struggling Kagome as well. He began to position himself, getting closer and closer...closer...closer...

"Inuyasha! Get down from that tree! Food's ready!" Sango hollered up at the sulking hanyou. Despite her gruff manner, she was worried. Normally, the half-dog demon was jumping around and being a general nusiance when there was food to be had and now? She was practically shaking the tree to get him out.

"I'm coming." was the sullen reply.

"Hurry up, or it will get cold," warned Sango, as an afterthought she added. "Don't worry, Inuyasha. Kagome will be safe."

"Feh," was the only reply. Sango gave up and stalked off, pausing only briefly to hit Miroku for only of his many lecherous deeds. Inuyasha was still in deep thought.

'Damn her! Why couldn't she have just stayed in the future where she belongs?'

'Now, now' another voice countered. 'Then you would have never met her. You really don't want that, do you?'

Feh, was the only reply.

"LORD SESSHOMARU!!!" Jaken burst through the door, closely trailed by an irate Shippou. Jaken looked around and quickly realized his mistake. Sesshomaru turned around, how dare that little runt interfere with this! He dropped Kagome back on the bed and proceeded to strangle his servant, whose pleas for mercy fell upon deaf ears. Meanwhile, Kagome, having recovered from her shock, once again jumped behind the curtain, this time pulling it down. She used the material to cover herself as Shippou ran up to her.

"Kagome! Are you alright? He didn't do what I think he did...did he?"

Kagome could only shake her head mutely. Shippou growled deep in his throat.

"Bastard! He's going to pay for what he did to you Kagome!" With that he jumped upon the demon lord, sufficiently distracting him to let go of Jaken, letting the green servant slump to the floor. Despite Sesshomaru's best efforts, he could not get the annoying kitsune brat off of him. This fight, however futile, did serve one important purpose- Sesshomaru regained control again.

The whole camp was asleep. The whole camp, that is, except Inuyasha. He couldn't get Kagome out of his mind. Was she alright? All day his brain had beat him over the head with possible (ususally bloody) scenarios for the outcome of this little adventure. Deciding he needed some excersise, he stalked out of the camp, jumping from tree to tree. As he neared a small pool he decided to take a short break. The moon was full, reflecting off the water with an eerie glow that made the whole forest seem like a simple ghost of what it should be. Inuyasha thought to himself.

'Maybe they'd all be better of without me. What use am I without Kagome? Hell, what use was I in the first place? Stupid, useless hanyou...'

With each word he cut a deep gash into a major artiery. Inuyasha smiled as the blood began to flow. He might heal quickly, but even he would not heal quickly enough to save himself from these wounds...With a smile he lay back and waited for the Black God to take him.
