Chapter 5: New Leader
It was night again. There were recent deaths occurring near the forest that the pack met in. It was all over the news. A women turned up dead. Gutted and sucked dry. They knew now that they had to lay low. It wouldn't be safe at night any more with police crawling near their house and the forest. Can't forget about the police that keep coming to question them. Hitomi looked out, disgusted that they wouldn't leave them alone. They'd have to be more careful. It's been 3 days since they've been trapped in these forms. As long as the forest bordering the back of their house wasn't occupied they weren't going to get too out of control.
Rin had been sick after the first night without transforming. It was bad for a pup her age missing at least a night of transforming. This meant that Kagome and Hitomi stayed home with Rin. They hadn't been in touch with their new pack for a while. Soon the police would come to question them again. Well, actually Hitomi. No one knew that Kagome and Rin even existed. Hitomi wasn't going let them either, so she told them to go to the pack tonight. Of course Kagome disagreed, but Hitomi forced her out with Rin. The police were coming toward the house, so with a dirty, last glance from Kagome to Hitomi, she ran off into the forest. There was a knock at the door. Hitomi went to answer it and was greeted with the usual. "I'm sure you remember us, ma'am. We'd like to ask you some questions."
Kagome and Rin changed into their forms and ran to the scent of their pack. Aunt Esm`e and the rest of the pack were surprised to see them. "Where have you two been, child? Where's Hitomi?," asked Aunt Esm`e. "Hitomi is with the officers. She's a main suspected. The police don't even know that we live with her. She wanted us to come out here.," answered Kagome when she changed into her human form. "In other words, she sacrificed her freedom to finally get out for you two, right?," said Sango, hitting the target perfectly. "Well, now that you are here, let me update ya.," said Inu Yasha. He continued, "We were going to choose the pack leader tonight. And as you know the pack leader's mate has its own competition. So......." "Would you like to enter?," finished Sango. "No thanks. I think Hitomi would have wanted to instead.," said Kagome, "She still hasn't accomplished her dream." "We hoped she would too," said Aunt Esm`e.
The beginning of the ceremony began. Aunt Esm`e read the rules of the game in the ancient tongue. It was translated as: Behold The Way we will fulfill Under the watch of the Gods We fight as our true selves The men started to change into their forms as werewolves. Well, at least the ones who were going to fight in battle for the place of pack leader. Astrid was also going to enter for pack leader, but was not aloud to. So she settle for fighting for the title as pack leader's mate. Let thy battle be won with one worthy of the place One to fulfill the duty of the gods Let Wind, Water, Fire, and Earth see the one through the battle safely Let thy battle BEGIN!
The men who fought for the leader flew at each other. Blood was instantly smelled in the night air. Rin watched, feeling the pain of the wounds being inflicted from one pack mate to another. She wanted to run in so badly, stop the fight, but Kagome held onto her so tightly that she couldn't escape. So, Rin just stood there. Watching. Waiting. She watched Sesshomaru rip and slash a pack mate fiercely. She watched Inu Yasha wrestle with Miroku. When finally Miroku was thrown out and tended to did Inu Yasha move on to another opponent. The numbers went down quickly. So far there were only 2 dead and the rest injured, but not fatally, just cuts and scratches that healed quickly for a werewolf.
The battle kept going until there were only Inu Yasha and Sesshomaru left. Kouga had fought against Sesshomaru, but only lasted a couple of minutes. No it was a duel between family. Well, all werewolves are related, but they didn't all come from the same womb. Technically neither did Inu Yasha and Sesshomaru, they had the same father, so that would make them half brothers.
They jumped at each other simultaneously, both going straight for the throat. Sesshomaru cleared Inu Yasha's reach while Inu Yasha barely made it. Sesshomaru was much older than Inu Yasha, which meant that he had more time and experience. Sesshomaru had landed first and quickly charged at Inu Yasha. Inu Yasha was rammed out of the fight. Straight through the crowd-made wall. Sesshomaru had won the battle and was now the leader of the entire pack. Aunt Esm`e walked into the ring and looked up at the champion. Of course he was a lot taller than her. She then looked around at the other werewolves. They looked eagerly at her to announce the end of the match, The Way.
"The battle has ended. The leader had been chosen under the eye of the Gods and by choice of the Gods. Sesshomaru is our new pack leader and will lead us down our path to freedom.," said Aunt Esm`e. Cheers and howls rang through the crowd. Even the birds, who were supposed to be asleep, chirped their praise and congratulations. Inu Yasha walked up to Sesshomaru and stuck out his hand. "Congrats, Bro.," he said. Sesshomaru took it and they both shook hands. Everyone now knew that there was some sort of peace between the two brothers now.
Though one battle was over now, there was still another. Just like there was a pair for everything. The battle for the mate of the pack leader's place was still vacant. The female werewolves who wanted to fight for the place formed a line in front of Aunt Esm`e after Sesshomaru went into the sidelines. The same ritual took place, some words were changed to fit the occasion. When Aunt Esm`e called it to begin, the females started it a little differently. They all jumped and kicked an opponent close to them, quickly eliminating some players who weren't paying attention. Astrid grabbed a female near her and ripped out her throat. She didn't stop there, though. She shredded the entire body into pieces. Astrid moved on to another female and did the same. After the fourth victim, Rin couldn't watch anymore. She ran into the ring screaming, "Stop it! Stop it! You're hurting her!"
Astrid new the rules perfectly. Any player in the ring was an opponent for the position. She immediately took the chance and jumped at Rin. Before she could get near Rin, Kagome jumped in and rammed Astrid out of the way. Then she quickly threw Rin out of the battle into the arms of Inu Yasha before Astrid could recover. Kagome was attacked by another female, but she easily threw her out of the ring. Astrid took the chance to jump at Kagome since Kagome was the only female left in the ring. She not Kagome over onto her back and bit into Kagome's shoulder. She ripped a piece of flesh off, but was kicked off before she could do any more damage to Kagome. Kagome stood up, not even feeling any pain. Kagome's eyes glowed red. Astrid wasn't the least bit scared. She rushed Kagome and in the last seconds she lashed out her arm and clawed Kagome's abdomen. She quickly grabbed for Kagome's throat and squeezed. Kagome couldn't do a thing. She had promised Rin that she wouldn't fight any more. She promised! And it would be a promise she would keep, wether it be her last or not. Kagome started to black out. The last thing she remembered seeing was Astrid being pushed forward by a blur of light........
Hitomi slammed into Astrid from behind. In the same second she went around and grabbed Kagome before Astrid landed on her. Hitomi handed Kagome to one of the closest werewolves and instructed them to bandage the wound carefully. If Kagome moved her heart would pump faster and would force more blood out of the wound. Hitomi dodged Astrid elbowed her back, which slammed her into the ground. Hitomi was furious. She smelled the blood of the other dead females and her sister's. That final smell made her come running. Good thing the officers finished early.
Hitomi slashed Astrid's back and grabbed her arm. She then swung Astrid around like a rag doll. She threw Astrid out of the ring at 110 mph. She ran after Astrid and was in front of Astrid in a matter of seconds. She caught Astrid by the neck and squeezed harder and harder. When Astrid blacked out she let her body fall to the ground. She starred at Astrid with fierce, yellow, glowing eyes. Once she calmed down and came to her senses, she realized what she just did. She had known what would happen tonight.
She swung around in realization. The crowd had followed her and was looking back at her, expectantly. In the middle stood the new pack leader, Sesshomaru. She smiled and said, "You're not going to tame me that easily.," and she sped off. Sesshomaru smirked and chased after her. "Wild one, ain't she?," said Miroku. Sango hit him on the head.
Hitomi woke up the next morning and found herself in her room. She relapsed on the events that happened last night and smiled. She had ran through the forest dodging through brush and jumping from branch to branch, looking back every so often to see Sesshomaru following her. Then she out in the clear. She ran home and slammed the door behind her. To any one watching she was just a blur. When she looked out the window, Sesshomaru stood, arms crossed and leaning against a tree. He whispered, "I'll get you one day." and disappeared.
He works in strange ways. thought Hitomi. She silently opened her door and crept into Rin's room. She dived onto Rin's bed, immediately waking Rin up. She tickled Rin mercilessly. "Wake Up, Sleepy head!," she said. Kagome had heard the commotion and woke up too. She walked into the room and watched as Hitomi tickled Rin. Kagome loudly said, "The odds aren't fair, Hitomi. Here let me help balance it out." She dived onto the bed too and started to tickle Hitomi. Hitomi stopped tickling Rin and started laughing like crazy. Rin took the chance to tickle Hitomi too. "Hey! Two against one isn't fair!, said Hitomi between laughs.
There was a knock on the door and Hitomi took the split second of distraction to jump up and run down to the door. Kagome and Rin followed her instantly. When Hitomi opened the door, she was tugged out and the door slammed shut behind her before Rin and Kagome got to her. Kagome tugged at the door, but it wouldn't budge open. "Hey, let us out!," she yelled as she pounded on the door. They door opened again and Rin and Kagome fell out. The door slam echoed through the empty house. No laughter. No chatter. Just silence.
Until next time,
Don't let the darkness take you!
