Chapter Sixteen

____________________

A demon is capable of adjusting itself to any situation, but why wasn't Sesshomaru? All he could feel was shaking, constant shaking almost like metal clanging. Darkness was his only sight. He couldn't smell anything, so blindly he moved his hand around, feeling nothing but the cold and hard surface. Alas, his fingers found something soft and warm he could feel. He knew. It was Rin's hair. There was no need to see or smell, he could feel her. And that was something few demons could do.

His skin felt the warmth of Rin's breath. It was too bad she was unconscious. Sesshomaru's fingers then trembled down her body. His ear leaned on her unborn burden making sure it got through the unexpected attack okay. Even feeling Rin's womb felt comforting.

Then there was a bang and a flicker of light. Sesshomaru woke up. But he was sure it wasn't a dream, but a memory…he was slightly awake while trapped in a stupid truck. But now he was somewhere else. There were the same cold hard metal surroundings but there was light. Sesshomaru's eyes turned towards the door. His claws went attack at the door. Despite many scratches, there was nothing Sesshomaru could do and he felt a sting on his neck. Damn. He had forgotten that all this time he still had a collar that was controlled by Naraku.

He didn't care though; he went striking at the stupid metal door again. "Cut the crap Sesshomaru," said Inuyasha behind him. "I can't feel my fingers after trying to claw that thing for an hour."

"What? How can you be fully awake for so long?"

"Well, maybe because you had a dozen shots in you," said Inuyasha. Sesshomaru scanned the small cell they were in. "Where's Rin and Kagome?"

"I dunno, I woke up in here." Sesshomaru then went around sniffing the walls of the cell. "We're near the lab, the one they sent me in to punish me," said Sesshomaru. He inhaled infront of a tiny vent. "And…I can smell Rin, it's distant though."

"And Kagome?"

"Quit your fussing, hanyou! I can't smell everything at a distance!"

Inuyasha backed away from his brother. "Okay, okay. Geez! I mean, we all might die tonight if we don't find a way outta here. How about some peace, bro?"

"Not your bro," said Sesshomaru. "And I will get us out of here myself."

==+==

Kagome woke up with her head leaning on a table. She was inside the staff room where she went to meetings. Now it was empty and only two lights were on. The blind were closed. She was about to head for the door and take a whack at trying to exit when the door ended up opening. Kagome was scared back into her seat.

Naraku came into the room in his usual suit. His face was unreadable as he locked the door. He walked over and stood over Kagome. She knew that one thing was crossing both of their minds. "I'm fired aren't I?" said Kagome nervously. There was a silence between them. Kagome was trying to push her fears down, to show Naraku she was not afraid.

"There's no zoo left to fire you from," said Naraku. "You're pets have brought this place to an end. We have till the end of the week to move out."

Kagome wanted to ask Naraku what was gonna happen to everyone, including her. But she couldn't get any words out of her dry mouth.

"Since you enjoy exploiting all of my secrets, I have one more to share." Kagome gulped as he saw Naraku began to lean towards her.

==+==

Her body was completely sore except for her eyes. There was absolute darkness here. Rin was somewhere lying on her back. She feared to move. She had no idea where she was or what her surroundings looked like.

Rin wanted to relax but the numbness throughout her body kept her awake. There was too much pressure as if she needed to use the bathroom. The pain increased, to the point where she wanted to cry. This wasn't something she couldn't handle. The hanyou was moving rapidly in response. But now she felt something, as if a part of her burst. She could feel the relief but now the hanyou was creating and even worse struggle. She felt the area in between her legs become much more slick.

'Oh no,' Rin thought.

Not here.

She couldn't be having the hanyou.

Not now.

==+==

Sesshomaru's eyes widened in anguish. Rin's scent had reached him with a new force. There was a sudden change in the air and he knew what it was. He reached for the door and tried harder than ever to bring the strong steel, metal, or whatever down.

"Whoa," said Inuyasha seeing his half-brother nearly hanging on the door. "You're in shitty mode again."

"I smelled her. Rin's in labor. I have to get to her!" Sesshomaru was at the point of desperation that he sunk his claws into the door determined to rip it off. Inuyasha had never seen Sesshomaru this insane before. The hanyou's eyes widened when he saw the lights on Sesshomaru's collar. Sesshomaru growled in pain from the collar's shock, but he didn't care. He was putting all of his force and might into breaking down that door, the one that stood between him and his mate.

On the other side of the door was the main lab room. Kagura was ferociously pounding the buttons on a remote that controlled Sesshomaru's collar.

==+==

"Mr. Onigumo, sir," Kagome shook. "Iiiii know that I was wrong but Ii think what you er doing is just as wrong too."

"Is that so?" asked Naraku. Kagome felt nothing but extreme heat from Naraku's breath fanned her face."

"Whhy does Kikyo want the hanyous?"

"Aw, you're worried about your Inuyasha? Don't worry the hanyous are the key to a new evolution of superior human beings. She just wants to be the one to discover it first. And I'm happy just taking her money."

"But what about Rin? Why did you have to get innocent people involved?"

"No one wants to see demons like that stuck up Sesshomaru anymore. They want to see freaks of nature. They came to see Inuyasha, Kagome. They enjoy seeing human freaks with dog ears. That's where all of the zoo's money was going too. And Kikyo just happens to be an old friend of mine that I am helping out."

"But, you don't know how bad this could-"

"DON'T TELL ME WHAT'S BAD!!! YOU AND THAT STUPID DOG DEMON ARE THE REASON WHY I HAVE NO ZOO ANYMORE!!!" Kagome pushed her chair back against the wall. Naraku breathed hard before walking over to Kagome's new spot.

"I warned all of my employees to keep their noses out of my personal business but you didn't care, you went ahead and figured out about my youkai mating strategy. I don't have enough hanyous prepared to pay my debts. I'll just have to make one more."

"Whhat are you talking about?" Before Kagome could even think, Naraku grabbed her arm and threw her onto the floor. Naraku leaned over to whisper in Kagome's ear. "Don't bother struggling. My strength is twice as that of a pathetic human."

Kagome's fears turned into a realization. She gasped.

"You're a hanyou!"
