A/N Sorry this took so long, but I was working on Broken Heart, Broken
Mind. I finally finished it. Now I can turn my attention to Betrayal!
Next chapter will be up MUCH sooner!
Now the long awaited...
Chapter 4: The Attack on the Village
"I can't believe it. He was abandoned Tetsusaiga." Sango breathed in shock.
"He has broken the tie to us." Miroku said in despair.
"There's more at stake here than broken ties. Tetsusaiga is the seal on Inuyasha's demon blood." Kagome confessed "If he moves away from it and is pressured or distressed he will transform into a full demon and lose all awareness to the world. That's what happened in the attack of the wolf demon. Tetsusaiga was knocked away and his blood released."
"What!" Miroku cried.
"Why did you not say this to us before?" Sango demanded.
'That's why he looked so scary...' Shippou thought in revelation.
"I did not tell you because..I..didn't want you to worry or to say anything that would make Inuyasha suspect." Kagome said to them. "If he knew he might try to fight as he is when he's transformed. If he did that, he would lose his heart."
"I understand now." Kaede interjected.
A crash followed by screams issued from the outside. The assembled spun around in surprise.
"What was that!?" Sango cried
They rushed out and were greeted by a sight that would haunt their nightmares for years to come.
**********
Inuyasha had gathered all the wolf and dog demons in the surrounding area to him. They stood in the night surrounding the afflicted hanyou.
"Now is the time! We must take revenge on the betrayal by humans!" Inuyasha roared to the assembled demons "To war!"
The hanyou led the pack of demons in an onslaught against the village. Controlled by his demon blood, his emotions of anger and the sense of betrayal drove him to these desperate measures. Unable to stop himself, his anger and pain took the form of violence and destruction.
They raced through the night and came upon the sleeping village without warning. Led by the powerful hanyou, the other demons had no fear. They followed his every order and the blood lust took control of them all.
Descending on the village, Inuyasha watched in grim satisfaction as the demons he led tore their claws through the errant humans. A cruel smile played across his features as he watched the destruction around him. A demon flung a body of a woman into the wall of Kaede's hut. The screams of the terrified villagers soon alerted the priestesses, monk and demon exterminator to the attack.
They raced out and saw the town square soaked in blood. The wolf and dog demons tore across the village destroying and killing. But what tore at their hearts the most, was the sight of their friend with his battle crazed red eyes, gazing out at the massacre with a smile on his face.
A villager covered in wounds crawled to Inuyasha's feet.
"Why? Why do you attack us?" the villager rasped
"Hmph!" Inuyasha replyed "You did the same to us! You all betrayed us! Now we will take revenge for the pain you have caused! You will know what we have known!"
With a fierce growl, he slashed his claws across the chest of the villager, ending his life.
His friends were horrified.
"He does not know what he's doing.." Sango breathed
"NO! This will destroy him!" Kagome cried grabbing Tetsusaiga and racing toward the hanyou.
He turned his gaze on her and a maniacal grin lit his darkened features.
"You afraid?" He asked bitterly "Are you afraid of me?"
Kagome recoiled, "No Inuyasha, I'm not afraid of you! Come back to us! SIT!" she cried and put Tetsusaiga out in front of her in an effort to seal the hanyou.
The command caused the hanyou to face plant in the dirt. However, this also brought him back to his senses. His eyes became golden and the dark light that had plagued his features vanished.
Kagome kneeled beside his fallen form and reached down to pull the hanyou into her arms.
'He cannot see what he has unwittingly done. It will destroy him.' Kagome thought.
But Inuyasha pulled away when he heard the sounds of battle. Seeing the demons racing around and the massacre that was occurring he angrily got up to fight.
Kagome's soft voice broke in "Call them off. Tell them to retreat."
Surprised, he did so. "Retreat!"
The demons pulled back into the woods. One stopped on the outskirts and turned to him.
"We will wait for your next commands, my lord. We will be on call should you need us."
The demon then turned and vanished into the night.
Sango, Kaede and Miroku rushed up to the hanyou.
"Stay back!" he roared at Miroku and Sango. "Just stay away!"
Saddened, they were not surprised at his reaction to seeing them. They turned and retreated to the hut where they had left Shippou, not wanting him to see the carnage.
When they had left, Inuyasha turned to Kagome, "Why did they listen to me? What happened here?"
"They were your troops Inuyasha. You were taken over by your demon blood, and ordered them to attack." She said remorsefully and handed him Tetsusaiga.
"I...I did this?" he lamented, holding Tetsusaiga in a clenched fist. "This is..all my fault. He gazed at his bloodied hand at up at the massacre before him.
"IT'S ALL MY FAULT!!!!" he cried to the sky and fell to his knees tears streaming unchecked down his face.
