Chapter 12
On with it.
Sango and Ayumi ran to the kitchen for bowls of water while Miroku ran to the village for a healer. Sesshomaru and a couple of other men carried InuYasha's bloody body to his bedroom.
"My baby," Queen Evanes wailed, leaving all demons muttering dark curses.
She banged on the door to InuYasha's door. Inside, Sango massaged her temples.
"He's got a high fever. The arrows shot at him had a strong poison on them."
Sesshomaru presented his father with the three arrows.
"Anything you know about this poison?"
"Well," said Sango, "it's called Eden's End, because that's where it originated. It acts fast, as you've seen, and very few know the cure."
"InuTaisho, you stop negotiating with demon slayers this instant!"
Sango rolled her eyes.
"Just how did you end up with her?"
"She used to be a quiet, reserved princess. I regret her, but not my son."
Sango nodded and turned, hearing InuYasha groan struggling to sit up.
"Kagome," he ground out painfully.
"The only way to get this cleared quickly is to get a mix of herbs in his bloodstream," she whispered quickly.
InuTaisho nodded, "Do what you must."
He, and Sesshomaru, left with Raven.
"InuYasha," said Sango softly, minding his injured legs when she sat down on the bed.
"Kagome?"
"Uh… No. She's not here."
"What's wrong? Where is she?," he asked, wildly looking around like a blind man.
"InuYasha?"
"I can't see a damned thing!"
Kaede and Lola walked inside, InuYasha asking about their presence, etc.
"Kaede, Lola, this is Sango," said Shippou, popping up behind Miroku.
They all quickly greeted each other.
"Lady Sango, your father wishes to know when you will return."
"I have no idea. Report to him that Queen Higurashi was kidnapped by the Wolf Kingdom and I will be leading an attack until further notice."
"Kagome was what?," growled InuYasha, his unseeing eyes staring at nothing in particular.
"Yes, well-."
"That bloody whore! How dare she lead her lover here and attack my son?!"
"Shut her up!," screamed Sango and InuYasha in unison, both glaring at the door hatefully.
"I-I can hear my- InuYasha! Are you alright?"
"I am going to kill your bloody ass!"
"B-But why?," she bawled.
"Kagome is my wife! MY WIFE!"
"But you can still-."
"NO!," he roared, winging from his wounds.
"Alright… I-I guess I can…," she quieted.
Queen Evanes wiped her tears, resigning to having Kagome as her daughter-in-law. There's not much else I can do, he's fallen for her hook, line, and sinker.
"Thank you," muttered Sango.
"Why can't I fucking see?"
"Right, that. Kikyou's arrows had poison in them. I'm afraid both your legs are coming off."
InuYasha's loud voice filled the huge castle clearly, and strongly.
"NANI?!"
"I'm merely joking InuYasha. Calm down. All we have to do is inject herbs-."
"INJECT?!"
"Yes, inject the herbs into your bloodstream for a quick and easy recovery."
InuYasha blinked his eyes, seeing blurry figures everywhere.
"I'm already getting better," he said.
"Maybe because we injected you already?"
"When the fuck-."
"You rant and rave, we take the opportunity."
InuYasha huffed, eyeing Kaede and Lola at his side.

"InuYasha sit still!!!"
"Let go you sons of-."
"InuYasha!"
InuYasha was trying, for about 15 minutes, to leave the castle in search of Kagome. Sango tried to reason with him to no avail. He wanted to charge blindly, the idiot. Raven, Miroku, Hachi, and InuTaisho all held his arms, legs, and torso. Sesshomaru was off with his wife doing who-knows-what. However, when InuYasha's outraged screams became insistant throughout the vast estate Sesshomaru was lured to his younger brother's room.
"Concious, dreadful," he said softly.
"Shut up! I have to find her, now!"
"I would watch what I was saying if I were you," he growled, quieting his brother effectively.
"Thank you," said Sango softly.
Sesshomaru hmph'ed and warned of his wrath if any more racket were to be made. He quietly left, the other men a bit startled.
"Right," said Miroku, "me and Sango-."
"Sango and I," corrected Raven.
"Sango and I," he said through clenched teeth, "will go over to Kouga's lands and demand the immediate release of Princess Higurashi."
"With what power?," asked InuYasha.
"You forget she's under the care of my lord father, King Raven Montalver. Therefore, my father here sends me, his only son, to reclaim his charge."
"I've got Kouga's answer for you," growled InuYasha, wrenching himself away from the men holding him down.
Miroku covered his eyes, but Sango became curious. She was the only one that didn't know him and his character first hand.
"Well?," she asked impatiently.
"Fuck off."
"Excuse me!," screamed the enraged female.
"InuYasha, what do you suggest we do, go break in and tell him to hand her over or we'll fuck his mom up?"
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"Kouga, give back Princess Kagome or we'll fuck up your mom!"
Kikyou sneered at the group through a small window.
"What? Hurts to see your object of affection going for that other girl?"
"Shut up Naraku."
"Please, call me daddy."
"Fuck off."
Kouga walked in, his face crimson with anger.
"Something wrong?," taunted Naraku, containing laughter.
"They told me to hand back Kagome or they would fuck up my mom!"
"Small price," said Kikyou, glaring out the window.
"My lady mother is to be respected, conniving bitch!"
"Kouga," growled Naraku, "leave. Me and my daughter have issues to attend to. Your new sex toy should be waking up in 5, 4, 3, 2,-."
"COWARDS! BASTARDS!!!," Kagome screamed, her voice echoing through the walls of the castle.
Kouga ran, leaving Kikyou and Naraku to glare at each other silently.
"Kill him," said Naraku, rising to leave, "and do pick up after yourself. Nasty business that blood is."
"Don't tell me you want that whore also," Kikyou sneered, whipping around to face him.
She cursed, finding he was already gone.
"Bastard."
She quietly went to enjoy Kouga's death. He'd pay for calling her a bitch…

"Just great InuYasha," growled Sango, surrounded by guards, "just fucking great."
Miroku quietly surveyed the men's faces from behind a tree, a soldier knocked out, tied up, and half naked. He had been taking care of business when they caught his companions. He, now wearing the guy's uniform, stepped out and into the crowd.
"Where were you?," sneered a big chunky soldier.
"Relieving myself you son of a bitch," he growled right back.
"We'll talk later," he warned, "let's go. These are prisoners for threatening our Prince's life."
Sango sneaked a glance at he woods, muttering dark curses as she was shoved towards the castle. InuYasha was walking, almost eagerly, amongst the human and demon men. Something was up. Her eyes went wide and fist flew when she felt a familiar hand on her ass.
"HENTAI!"
The soldier behind her fell back, glaring at her through his armor, not revealing his face.
"Bitch," he snarled.
"Something wrong back there?!"
"Naw boss. I'm just going to teach this whore her place as a female."
The other men chuckled and some cat called, InuYasha didn't even turn around.
"Be quick about it and catch up."
"Aa."
He roughly grabbed Sango's arm and pushed her in through the nearest door. The soldiers left quickly and quietly, leaving them behind. Sango looked at the man with rage and hate. The male, however, chose to ignore her sentiments and started to strip.
"You revolting, vile, son of a bitch!"
"Sango, please! Last time you said my mother was charming!"
"M-Miroku?"
"Quiet," he said quickly, dropping all of the armor on the ground.
"What do you want bitch?," asked Kouga, his voice clearly showing his irritation right outside their door.
"Oh, did Kagome refuse you? Perhaps you were too small?"
"Go to hell," he snarled.
"After you," she said darkly.
Sango and Miroku strained to hear what had happened when Kouga grunted, growling curses here and there. A resonating thump of something hard hitting the floor and a sickly crack reached their ears.
"Call me a bitch will you? Revenge is sweet, Naraku's orders this time though."
Her footsteps quickly faded off into the depths of the hallway. Sango and Miroku stepped out and found no one there, openly a few droplets of blood.
"Clean, eh?"
"What do we do Miroku?," asked Sango, softly attaching herself to his arm.
"Split up."
Sango hesitated a minute before nodding.
"Alright. You go follow Kikyou and I'll go opposite," she said quickly.
"Aa. Oh, by the way, I am not a traitor and neither is InuYasha," he said with a bright smile.
Sango flushed and quickly made her way down the hallway.
"Miroku," she called out, not turning around, "be careful. Don't be an idiot."
"You too my love," he said, smiling widely.

"Weak humans," InuYasha said happily having defeated his guards.
He grinned, continuing going down the hallway. About 15 minutes later he heard a voice at a 4-way intersection. The hallways were dimly lit by torches but he could see various doors. He quickly went into one, leaving it slightly open so he could hear perfectly.
"Dispose of him quickly. Your prince is dead and I am under the orders of your new ruler."
Kikyou. That bitch will suffer when I get a hold of her!
Kouga was dead, he realized, making his job easier. However, Kikyou had said something about a new ruler that didn't bode well…
"His use was fulfilled," she seemed to say to herself, " and that Kagome bitch will soon be out of the picture as well."
InuYasha clenched his fists in the darkness, feeling the need to kill Kikyou.
"But no," he whispered to himself, feeling awfully calm.
"Thinking does not suit you my friend," a male commented behind him.
"Miroku," he growled softly.
"Moving on. Naraku is at the farther end of the hallway."
"Naraku?"
"The new lord of wolves. He wants your wife as a mistress."
InuYasha's eyes bled red, slowly staining his golden eyes. Miroku hesitantly stepped back, his companion no longer himself.
"If he so dared to touch what is mine-."
"Cut it out and let's go find the jerk before he-."
"Shut up human," InuYasha growled.
Miroku's eyes widened and he hit InuYasha over the head with his staff.
"You have a death wish," he sneered.
"You want your mate to get raped. Now hurry before it's too late!"

"Kagome?!"
Kagome groggily got up and whispered her friend's name, calling out to her, but no matter how hard she tried to scream something kept making her want to sleep. She only lasted a few minutes before asking 'Sango who?' and drifted back into unconciousness. Sango started becoming frantic and looked in every room. Two guards were at the door of one and it just clicked.
"Naraku, you are an idiot," she whispered to herself.
She quickly knocked out one, and held him up.
"Something wrong?"
Sango quickly threw the man at the other and smirked.
"Not anymore."
She cackled and opened the door. She dragged them inside and looked up to see if Kagome was there or not, heavily hoping she was.
"Kagome?"
She looked at a bed off in the center of the room and found her friend unconcious.
"Kagome!"
She quickly picked her friend up, protesting about how she didn't weigh anything and should eat more. She wasted no time in fleeing out of the door.
"InuYasha," protested her groggy friend.
"He has some business to take care of. We'll wait outside."
