"Death Squared"
Here we go, chapter six. I really hope you're liking this story so far. FYI: I can no longer send reviews from my house. I'm extremely pissed. A word to the wise, don't get Yahoo! DSL, it sucks.
Disclaimer: Me no own. If I did I could do disturbing things with Vegeta's widow's peek… ok ok, I could do disturbing things with Myoga. *squish*
Chapter 6: A Broken Heart
"Sango? Did you hear that too?" Miroku asked raising his head slightly.
"Hear what?" Sango asked groggily, turning over.
"Hey, you're gonna squish me!" Shippou cried out from underneath Sango who had just rolled on top of him.
"Oops! Sorry, Shippou. I guess it would've been better if Shippou hadn't slept in between us after all." Sango admitted.
"I told you." Miroku said standing up. "Anyway, I think I heard someone cry out." Miroku said looking around them.
"Who do you think it was?" Sango asked standing as well.
"I'm not sure, it's probably nothing. We should probably try and get some more sleep." Miroku stated. He didn't sit back down however.
"No way we're gonna be able to sleep now." Shippou said rubbing the sleep from his eyes. "You're freaking us out, Miroku."
"He's right. We can't sleep now. Besides I feel guilty about being safe when we don't know where Kagome of Inuyasha are." Sango said solemnly.
"You're both right. I'm sorry that I startled you." Miroku looked up at the sky, which was still full of stars. "It doesn't look as though the sun is going to rise for quite a while. Why don't you go gather some firewood, Shippou. We probably shouldn't travel until daylight. We can keep ourselves busy until then." He looked over at Sango and winked.
Shippou nodded and bustled into the nearby forest and busied himself with collecting twigs and sticks.
"Good idea. We should try and keep his mind off of Kagome. We don't need him to be crying anymore. The poor kitsune." Sango said admiring Miroku's plan.
"Yes, well…" Miroku trailed off, not knowing what to say.
"I mean it, Miroku." Sango said. She began to walk slowly over to Miroku. Just as she was a few feet from him, she hesitated. She knew what she wanted to do, but how to do it she did not know. She was just about to say something when she saw a tear trickle down his cheek.
"Miroku?" Sango asked softly. She raised her hand and ran it down his face, wiping away the tear. "What is it?"
"I'm worried for Kagome and Inuyasha, that's all." Miroku said quietly. He turned away from Sango so she wouldn't see the other three tears that had just run down his cheek.
"They've been in bad situations before, why are you so emotional now?" Sango asked. She put another hand on Miroku's shoulder in an attempt to comfort him.
"Did you see the way Kagome looked at Inuyasha when he said he was going to go look for Kikyo? He broke her heart." Miroku said getting choked up even more. He longed to be enveloped in Sango's arms completely.
"But he's done it before. I admit Inuyasha doesn't deserve Kagome after all the times he's made her cry, but you've never gotten so worked up over it."
"I know. It's just that I think that he and Kagome belong to each other." Miroku turned in the direction of Sango no longer afraid to let her see him crying.
"You're absolutely right. I also think two other people belong together as well." Sango said trying to change the subject.
"Who are you talking about?" Miroku asked looking down at Sango.
"I think you have some idea." Sango stood on tiptoe and whispered into Miroku's ear. "You and me."
They both jumped as Shippou stumbled back into the clearing. He looked from both of their startled faces that had turned the shade of crimson. He dumped the sticks on the ground.
"Did I interrupt something?" He asked innocently.

"Naraku, get off of me." Kagome forced out.
Naraku had been doing anything and everything to Kagome that his perverted mind could think of. The only thing he hadn't done yet was to take her virginity. Kagome could tell he was becoming impatient and that he was tired of waiting for Inuyasha to arrive. She feared that if Inuyasha didn't show up soon, Naraku would ditch his original plan and full on rape her. The only reason he had waited was so Inuyasha would be even angrier and too mixed up in his emotions to fight straight, which meant that Naraku would have the definite advantage.
Kagome gasped as Naraku took his finger and traced a red line along her collarbone. 'Why is that line red?' Kagome wondered in her daze. It took her a few moments to realize that it was her own blood. She could feel a steady stream of blood run down her chest and stomach where Naraku eventually lapped it up.
With the only strength that Kagome possessed at this moment in time, she reached up and smacked Naraku as hard as she could. Naraku barely felt it, but nevertheless, would not let her go unpunished. He raised his hand up high and brought it down with the force of a charging bull, at least that's what Kagome thought when it made impact with her body. His hand was driven deep into her right side. She let out a blood-curdling scream and almost lost consciousness because of the unbelievable pain.
Kagome let herself slip into a daze and in the background she could hear someone laughing hysterically. 'Naraku. He's laughing at my pain. I wish Inuyasha were here…' Darkness consumed her as she fell unconscious.
Naraku looked from his blood stained hand to the unconscious girl in front of him and began to laugh uncontrollably. When he finally got a hold of himself again he noticed that he had left a huge gash in Kagome's side. This seemed to please him. He leaned over and sucked on Kagome's ear lobe. He bit down hard and tasted blood in his mouth.
"I don't think I've had this much fun since I turned Inuyasha and Kikyo against each other." Naraku began to chuckle softly and went on tracing red lines across Kagome's upper body.
He glanced down and noticed that Kagome still had the blanket over her lower body. He reached over and ripped the blanket from her body and savored the sight that greeted his eyes. This whole woman was at his disposal. The only thing he couldn't do with her was enter her sacred spot. (I don't think I have to tell you where that is) He figured he could express enough self discipline and stay away from there, at least until Inuyasha was dead.
He busied himself with running a bloodstained finger over her bare skin. He could feel her skin reacting to his touch. Small bumps began to appear all over her body. 'This girl is so fragile. I wonder why Inuyasha is so attracted to her?' Naraku wondered but then went on torturing Kagome.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
As Inuyasha neared Naraku's castle, he began to become more and more frantic. For not only could he smell Kagome, the horrible stench of her blood entered his nostrils as well. Not just a paper cut kind of blood, but huge amounts of unmistakable blood.
He finally saw the edge of the forest he had been traveling in and discovered that he was on a ledge looking down on Naraku's castle. 'That's where she is' Inuyasha thought to himself in disgust. 'This is where the scent of blood is the strongest.'
He grabbed the handle of the Tetsusaiga and drew it from its sheath. It transformed into the beautiful sword that it had done so many times before, but this time, it felt different to Inuyasha. It felt even more powerful than ever. He didn't give it anymore thought because just then he could hear Naraku laughing insanely from inside one of the buildings.
"KAGOME! I'm coming!" Inuyasha screamed as he leapt from the ledge and into the unsuspecting castle.
Guards came at Inuyasha from every direction attempting to attack Inuyasha, only to be killed at that instant from a mere swish of the Tetsusaiga. Inuyasha didn't give his attackers any thought as he made his way over the building in the middle of the court yard, where he was certain Kagome was.
Inuyasha leapt onto the roof of the building attempting a sneak attack but was surprised when the roof caved in. Despite the surprise, Inuyasha landed gracefully on the floor in the middle of the hut.
The sight before him made Inuyasha want to cry out in anger and sadness. He looked at the naked body of Kagome, his beloved Kagome, and then to the blood stained hands or Naraku. 'Those blood stains, that's Kagome's blood.' Inuyasha thought with complete anguish. A fire in Inuyasha's heart was ignited this day. A fire that had been long since extinguished. The anger that he was feeling was all channeled to one purpose, to save Kagome from the clutches of Naraku.
"So you've finally come, Inuyasha." Naraku's words were like ice in Inuyasha's ears. Despite Naraku's plans, he hadn't imagined the look that Inuyasha wore ever to be present on his face. He didn't know a look of pure hatred and anger even existed. This was a little unnerving to Naraku, but nevertheless, he stood his ground.
"You fucking bastard. This is your dying day. You've finally met your maker. You were stupid to ever even attempt to challenge me." Inuyasha hissed through gritted teeth.
Naraku got to his feet and kicked Kagome's right side roughly in response. Inuyasha screamed and attacked Naraku with all the strength that he had ever possessed in his entire life. Such strength he had never even fathomed he had, and Naraku obviously hadn't either. The Tetsusaiga sliced into Naraku as though he were a stick of butter.
Within moments Naraku was on the ground experiencing a kind of pain not even he had ever inflicted on anyone himself.
"You were an idiot to ever think you could take my mate and get away with it." Inuyasha hissed into Naraku's ear. "I will kill you, but first, I think you should suffer." Inuyasha smiled at the thought of what he had in store for Naraku. He was startled when he heard a grunt from Kagome.
"Inuyasha, please, don't torture him." Kagome pleaded. Before Inuyasha could answer she had fallen unconscious again. Inuyasha was torn. 'How could she not want him to be tortured? After what he did to her, I'm not about to let him go unpunished. But then she would be angry with me. I don't want that. Fine, I'll just put him out of his misery then.'
Inuyasha decapitated Naraku and smiled in satisfaction at his work. He had finally gotten revenge for all the people who Naraku had hurt in the past. He had killed Naraku.
Inuyasha stood up and looked over at Kagome. Part of him wanted so badly to run away at the sight of her. Inuyasha walked over to her and picked her up in his arms. Her blood ran down his arms as he reached down and picked up the blanket that had covered Kagome.
"I'm so sorry, Kagome." Inuyasha said, his eyes full of anguish. He wished he could weep in her arms. It was his fault that Kagome had ended up like this. He was the one who let her get mixed up in his era. Everything that Kagome had gone through was his fault. He could've killed himself for everything that had gone wrong for her. 'I've always been the one to make her cry, and now this.' Inuyasha felt as though a part of him died.
As he leapt out of the building, a sudden thought struck Inuyasha. 'Did he…. rape her?' Inuyasha wondered. He couldn't think about it right now, what was important now was to get her in a safe place. Inuyasha concentrated on finding Sango or Miroku's scent. When he detected them, he ran off in that direction, careful to be gentle with the precious cargo he had in his arms.
