Disclaimer: Sesshoumaru and Inu Yasha belong to me. * Jumps up and flings
arms around their shoulders, they do the annoyed look thing, and both smash
me on my head at the same time, leaving me flattened on the ground, and
quickly walk away* Ok, Ok, so maybe I don't.
A/N: Once again I am sorry this is taking me so long to put up. I am a busy person; I have had this chapter written out a while now. (Sorry.) But I have been working full time as well as working on four things. (This fan fiction, a novel, a comic book storyline, and a new Harry Potter fan fiction my best friend has somehow talked me into doing. So please forgive me. I have no intentions of just stopping this. I think that I have covered all the mistakes in chapter 4 and 5, so that should be taken care of. And now, I think I should answer some stuff from my reviews. (Does the fan-girl scream thing) I have reviews!!!!!! *Cough* I am ok, I am ok.
LSR-7: A few things I would like to say. I am too western for my own good, I just like throwing 'Kami' into things, and there is only one thing that I have actually heard Kami used a lot in and that is Dragon Ball Z.
In the anime, (ah, forgot the episode.) when Sesshoumaru just had the encounter with Rin, and healed enough to go looking for Jaken, he found his little minion questioning him of his intentions, and threw a couple of rocks squarely at his head. I happened to like that part, if you can tell. lol
Also, I haven't seen anything past what cartoon network has shown, and cannot read Japanese, so I really haven't seen much of Rin and Sesshoumaru outside the many sites out there that were able to kill my curiosity when they gracefully just stopped showing Inu Yasha there for a while.
Thank you for telling me about the futons, didn't know, went back and corrected it, same as I hope the majority of the spelling mistakes. Oh, and I use a translator on my computer, and according to it, palace is densha. And to perk ones curiosity, it is also electric train,(den being electricity and sha being car) just in a different context. hehe. Well, I suppose this is it.

Chapter 6: Anger Unleashed (Once again, leaving off where the last chapter left off exactly)
"Rin!" He hissed out alarmed, and bolted in the direction the sound had come from.
In a moment less than a second, a large lump formed within his stomach, and then traveled up, split in two, and firmly placed themselves within his heart and throat. This was an odd feeling. He briefly felt confusion towards the alien feeling. He had not felt it for years, and genuinely felt surprised as it rose in him, threatening to take his mind - Fear. He followed her scent and noticed that it was laced with her own fear. He growled at himself as he ran, though he was fast, she was still so far away. ~Damn it! How in the hell could I let this happen! ~ This thought plagued him. How could he not have noticed? He, the great Sesshoumaru, Lord of the Western Lands not have noticed such a thing as his own minion being kidnapped right from under his own nose? Perhaps it was a sign of weakness. No, he could not accept that. He probably had just become too trusting of his surroundings. He growled again, it was not important what had caused this. What WAS important was that HIS Rin was in danger, and perhaps even dead. He stumbled, that thought alone made the lumps he felt grow painfully larger. No, he cannot think that way, she must live. She absolutely must.
Her scent had become strong, but she herself was still far off. ~How did she get so far away? ~ He was gaining on her, but barely. It was just about then that he picked up another scent, so faint that it was hardly there. Youkai. This youkai had obviously worked very hard on hiding their scent from him, and he realized what must have happened. If that youkai harmed his Rin... He forced his mind from the thought and ran faster.
*******************
Rin's side hurt as the strange youkai ran. His unruly smirk had fallen from his face the moment her voice released the loud and piercing scream. Obviously he did not expect that, now instead of that triumphant look he had had in his eyes, they were now filled with panic and fear. From what she could tell, he was some sort of lizard, and his claws were clutching her painfully in her side. She could feel the warm wetness from where his claws dug into her, slide slowly down her body. Perhaps she should not have screamed, but when he looked at her like that, then when he painfully threw her against a tree, and he... She shuddered to think what he might have done to her had she not let her voice escape. He had kidnapped her, but did not have a real sense of danger before she felt him press him self against her, bent down to kiss her. She shivered and felt his claws dig deeper into the flesh on her side. She groaned with pain. There was no doubt in her mind that if her master did not come for her soon, this creature would kill her. She gulped down the fear rising in her chest, and attempted not to think of it. She had died once, what would it matter if it happened again? That did not seem to matter though, as she was still afraid to die again. She just held her tongue as she was quickly carried away.
*******************
Her scent was even stronger now, he was getting closer. It would not be long before he got her back from this delinquent youkai. He then caught scent of something else -- blood. Rin's blood. He growled loudly at the scent and quickened his pace, his sight starting to turn red with anger. There was now no doubt in his mind now that Rin was harmed. And nobody, NOBODY ever did anything to anything that belonged to him. And Rin definitely belonged to him. He growled even louder, his anger rising at every step. The farther he went, the stronger the scent of her blood. He hated the smell, it made the lumps within his throat and heart grow larger, making it harder to breath. He would make this ignorant youkai pay for his misdeeds, for going against he, the great Sesshoumaru... Suddenly a half smirk appeared upon his face as he noticed he could now hear the beast running. He was closing in on it.
Suddenly, a scream pierced the air once again. This time though, Sesshoumaru noticed a difference in the scream. This time, instead of fright, it sounded like the one given involuntarily as one's body goes through the feeling of pure pain, and it was sustained and he slowly heard the scream silencing upon her lips. She wasn't moving. That damned youkai had stopped long enough to try to kill her, then fled from her! A new and sudden rage burst from within him and he leapt forward towards her, and finally spotted her form. His heart sank. She was nearly unrecognizable, slash marks covered her entire body, and she was lying broken upon the ground, in a position that was grossly unnatural. Like when he found her as a child, her eyes were still open. ~Dead? ~ His blood ran cold as he came closer to her, his body threatening to take him to the ground. Suddenly his body let go of the air that he had not noticed he was holding in as he heard a familiar sound. ~No, she is breathing -- Barely... ~ He could smell the salty tears that were unconsciously being shed as her body fought desperately to hang onto life. His heart quickened its pace as a deep panic pulsed through him. Without thinking he drew out his Tenseiga and slashed apart the death imps that were starting to gather about her, then pushed his sword through her as he knelt down next to her. He held the sword in her body for a moment as he heard the sickening shifting and cracking of quickly mending bones. His hand hovered over her, dangerously coming close to touching her face. Soon her breathing returned to normal and he sighed relief as her bleeding also stopped. She would live, though at the moment she was in shock.
At this precise moment, all of his fear and relief capsized into pure hatred and anger. To say he was a little bit peeved would be the understatement of the century. He swiveled around to face the direction that IT went and sped off after it. The forest around him whirled by in lines as his senses toned out all noises, and all smells as he concentrated on just one. That THING that invaded HIS territory and kidnapped, then tried to kill HIS Rin. The fact that is was Rin that the youkai's attentions were towards seemed to strike and even higher cord of anger that his mind wouldn't even attempt to process, right now, all of his thoughts leaned towards exquisitely sweet and wonderful, cold blooded murder. Perhaps he would use his Toukijin to cut him down in one blissful swing. Or maybe tear out his stomach with his hands, watch him squirm as all the blood drained from the things body... Or perhaps... These thoughts continued, as the certain death of the intruder became more and more gruesome, and more and more slow, as each scenario played happily through his mind.
It's scent was getting closer. ~Soon, I will feel the sweet warmth of blood upon my claws... ~ He ran faster, the adrenaline pumping through his veins painfully, making him itch for the kill he would soon have. The closer he came, the more he could smell of the creature. The fear, the adrenaline, and the blood. Rin's blood. Another surge of anger seethed through his body at that smell alone. He needed to move faster. At liquid smooth speed, he moved from the ground to the trees above; he could move more quickly this way. Within a few short minutes, he reached a clearing, and he jumped down, landing gracefully on both feet a yard from the tree he jumped from.
IT was there, on the other side of the clearing, crouched down in defense and radiating with fear. Obviously it knew that it was doomed. Sesshoumaru stood deathly still as the eerie silence stood between them, so thick that it could perhaps be cut with a knife. His eyes narrowed to slits as a smirk slowly formed upon his lips. If he allowed such a precious thing as time, his victim would usually plead or confess to something, and he wanted this vile creature to plead for its pathetic life. Perhaps he even wanted to know how it is that this creature thought that it could get past him, HIM, the great Sesshoumaru, Lord of the Western Lands. But he was an impatient man, and if such confessions or pleading did not happen soon, he would carve intricate designs within the flesh of the baka youkai.
The reptile dug its claws into the earth below him. It would be fruitless to degrade himself by pleading for his life, or to try and escape again. He knew that he was going to die the moment that damned girl screamed out; if she had just kept her mouth shut, his plan would have worked and the girl would still be alive. He hoped by killing her, the youkai lord would not have pursued him until he was able to get far enough away. In short, he was wrong. Now he was left with only two choices. First, he could just wait there, and then be torn to pieces, or second, he could tell the damned inu-youkai what he had planned to do, and hopefully implant a new worry and weakness into its mind. At least then, his death would not be completely fruitless, even if it perhaps would come more painfully, depending on how the lord took his words. And if he were correct about that human, what he would say would not go well. So now, he had a choice of a somewhat quick death, or an extremely painful one, but being able to bring out a small weakness. He took a deep breath, shuddering as another wave of fear took his body. He did not want to die, and was afraid to do so, and now he was looking at its face. To spite his fear, he smirked.
Sesshoumaru stood like a statue, but for the fact his muscles twitched ever so slightly in the need to kill this thing that so deserved death. It dug its claws into the ground as the scent of its fear rose in the air thickly, teasing his senses to where he wanted to just lash out and kill the pitiful youkai. Then the damned thing smirked. Its lips curled up into a forced sneer as its body trembled. So much for groveling and begging for its life, but at least the smirk that it forced upon its lips meant that it was going to say something that it thought would faze him. Too bad for the creature though, as it most likely wouldn't bother him. It had tried to steal something that was his, and then when caught, tried to kill that something. The fact that the something in question was his most valuable possession, his Rin, only made him furious that the ignorant creature was dumb enough to try and take something of that great of value. He did not want to ponder what the creature intended to do with her once he was clear of her master, for it was obvious. Spoil her innocence, and then when bored with her, kill her. That though alone brought waves of fury crashing through his body. NOBODY E-V-E-R touched Rin like that.
The lizard youkai dug its claws deeper into the earth gathering the last of its courage before inhaling for his speech. His last speech. It gulped, and then wavered out the beginning of his final, and hopefully lasting, words.
"Lord Sesshoumaru, Lord of the Western Lands, you should consider yourself lucky this night that your human pet has a good set of lungs." He paused briefly to recompose himself as he noticed the inu-youkai's ears swivel forward slightly. He gave a nervous laugh and then continued on. "Tonight, my plan would have worked, but I suppose that I am at fault for the result of my death now. Had I just gagged her, my plan would have played out perfectly, instead I got greedy enough to try and taste her before I got far enough away from you. Of course, I have never known a human to scream like that at just a simple kiss. Not to say that I would not have been able to feel the inside of her body this night, I just wanted to raid her lips first. I have been planning this for over two years. When you would notice that this wasn't right, I would have been far enough away, in the opposite direction, you wouldn't have caught up to me until it was too late. I would have only kept her for a week and a half before I would have given her back to you. It would have been long enough to get the desired effect. She would have gone into heat next week, am I correct?" His smile became natural and more relaxed as he noticed his killer's jaw tighten. He had been right about the girl, and it was getting to him. He had thought this would be the case, the lord probably thought him as just another youkai taking something. But in actuality he had planned this out, and had desired a long termed effect to the human he seemed to cherish. "I have been following you for some time, learning her cycles. I would have given the girl a new small life, and make sure that it was seed in her belly before I returned her of course. Would you have kept her had she a hanyou child? If you killed it, she wouldn't ever forgive you... And there is no denying that you care for the human..." That did it. With in a few short moments, he would be dead. He clenched his teeth and closed his eyes to his executioner as a deep and angry hiss fell from the youkai's lips. He did his damage, now all that was left was the certain pain he would receive before a welcomed death...
A hiss escaped Sesshoumaru's throat just before the world went deeply red. He had been patient far too long. Even while it spoke, it had the gall to smile at its plan. What he had thought would be a confession, ended up being an all out attempt to wound his pride. The thing needed to die. His hand automatically went to his side to reach for his sword Toukijin. His hand wavered over it for a moment before he thought better of it, then moved smoothly to the hilt of his other sword. The Tenseiga came out of its scabbard like it was a hard liquid, nearly ringing as it did so. He held it closely to his side, cracked his knuckles in sweet anticipation, then lunged towards the offending youkai.
The attack was so fast that the creature barely had time to flinch before Sesshoumaru's claws embedded themselves deep within its throat. A wet sounding scream came from it as he rose the lizard up into the air, then threw it across the clearing. He dodged after it, landing on its chest, then punctured its chest with his claws, letting his hand stay within the deep wound until the heart stopped. It was dead. He smiled. He was not yet finished with this baka. He neatly grabbed Tenseiga and stabbed his sword through the wound that he just created within the creature's chest. The blade pulsed, and once again the beat of the baka's heart began. He waited a moment for it to regain consciousness, and noticed its eyes flutter open bewildered. He could not keep the sinister grin from creeping onto his face. This would be fun...
Once again, he charged the thing, and then flung it to a nearby tree, making the tree fall to the ground from the impact of the doomed youkai. He followed it, bringing his hand to his throat, and strangled it slowly as it struggled, making Sesshoumaru feel that all-powerful bloodlust that he usually ignored become overpowering. Finally, its body went limp and he once again grabbed the Tenseiga. He hated this creature, and it had a lot to pay for. Anger and bloodlust ran through his body as he once again plunged the sword through its corpse, once again surging life into the damned creature. He stood slowly, losing the last of his control as his sight went blood red in complete fury.

A/N: Well, here is my chapter, and again, I am sorry for the delays. *Sigh* I will try to get the next one here a bit faster than this one. Not much else to say really, it is getting late and I have only had a total of 15 hours of sleep in 4 days... 0.o....
Well, anyways, Nanitozo Yasashikusuru!
A/N: Once again I am sorry this is taking me so long to put up. I am a busy person; I have had this chapter written out a while now. (Sorry.)

I have no intentions of just stopping this. I think that I have covered all the mistakes in chapter 4 and 5, so that should be taken care of. And now, I think I should answer some stuff from my reviews. (Does the fan-girl scream thing) I have reviews!!!!!! *Cough* I am ok, I am ok.
LSR-7: A few things I would like to say. I am too western for my own good, I just like throwing 'Kami' into things, and there is only one thing that I have actually heard Kami used a lot in and that is Dragon Ball Z.
In the anime, (ah, forgot the episode.) when Sesshoumaru just had the encounter with Rin, and healed enough to go looking for Jaken, he found his little minion questioning him of his intentions, and threw a couple of rocks squarely at his head. I happened to like that part, if you can tell. lol
Also, I haven't seen anything past what cartoon network has shown, and cannot read Japanese, so I really haven't seen much of Rin and Sesshoumaru outside the many sites out there that were able to kill my curiosity when they gracefully just stopped showing Inu Yasha there for a while.
Thank you for telling me about the futons, didn't know, went back and corrected it, same as I hope the majority of the spelling mistakes. Oh, and I use a translator on my computer, and according to it, palace is densha. And to perk ones curiosity, it is also electric train,(den being electricity and sha being car) just in a different context. hehe. Well, I suppose this is it.

A hiss escaped Sesshoumaru's throat just before the world went deeply red. He had been patient far too long. Even while it spoke, it had the gall to smile at its plan. What he had thought would be a confession, ended up being an all out attempt to wound his pride. The thing needed to die. His hand automatically went to his side to reach for his sword Toukijin. His hand wavered over it for a moment before he thought better of it, then moved smoothly to the hilt of his other sword. The Tenseiga came out of its scabbard like it was a hard liquid, nearly ringing as it did so. He held it closely to his side, cracked his knuckles in sweet anticipation, then lunged towards the offending youkai.
The attack was so fast that the creature barely had time to flinch before Sesshoumaru's claws embedded themselves deep within its throat. A wet sounding scream came from it as he rose the lizard up into the air, then threw it across the clearing. He dodged after it, landing on its chest, then punctured its chest with his claws, letting his hand stay within the deep wound until the heart stopped. It was dead. He smiled. He was not yet finished with this baka. He neatly grabbed Tenseiga and stabbed his sword through the wound that he just created within the creature's chest. The blade pulsed, and once again the beat of the baka's heart began. He waited a moment for it to regain consciousness, and noticed its eyes flutter open bewildered. He could not keep the sinister grin from creeping onto his face. This would be fun...
Once again, he charged the thing, and then flung it to a nearby tree, making the tree fall to the ground from the impact of the doomed youkai. He followed it, bringing his hand to his throat, and strangled it slowly as it struggled, making Sesshoumaru feel that all-powerful bloodlust that he usually ignored become overpowering. Finally, its body went limp and he once again grabbed the Tenseiga. He hated this creature, and it had a lot to pay for. Anger and bloodlust ran through his body as he once again plunged the sword through its corpse, once again surging life into the damned creature. He stood slowly, losing the last of his control as his sight went blood red in complete fury.

A/N: Well, here is my chapter, and again, I am sorry for the delays. *Sigh* I will try to get the next one here a bit faster than this one. Not much else to say really, it is getting late and I have only had a total of 15 hours of sleep in 4 days... 0.o....
Well, anyways, Nanitozo Yasashikusuru!
