The Demon Known as Kagome
Chapter 16
--- ------ ----- ----- Last Time ----- -------- --------- "I'm fine. go back to bed," Inu Yasha said as he glanced to Miroku. He looked over to Shippo and Ganu who were sleeping peacefully, Sesshomaru who was on the other side of Miroku leaning against a tree and Kilala and Hanto who were cuddled next to one another. ------- ------------ ------------- ----------
'Kagome.where are you,' he thought, 'Please be safe.' With that he went back to sleep. Naraku took Kagome back to the others and reattached her to the wall and left. Sango looked at Naraku and growled. She then looked to Kagome. Rin, Heisei and Lanuta also looked at her. "Kagome." Sango asked softly. "I . I don't want to talk about it," Kagome said slowly. She looked down and started crying silently again. Sango noticed her change in attitude and. smell. She gasped and looked at Kagome in horror. Rin also noticed and looked at Heisei and Lanuta. "Kagome. did he?" Sango asked softly. She didn't want to pressure Kagome into answering. Kagome would be very emotional at this time. Kagome didn't answer. She started crying. She looked at Sango with tears flowing down her cheeks and a look of pure sadness in her eyes. "Kagome. he didn't.," Sango said. Sango's voice was full of sadness, pity, guilt and a trace of anger. Kagome looked back down and cried harder. The more they talked about it the worse she felt. "I have betrayed Inu Yasha. I am not worthy to be his mate," she said through sobs and tears. She didn't know if she could face him now. "No Kagome. it's not your fault. It is Naraku's and his alone," Heisei said from across the room. She tried to keep a positive attitude. Inu Yasha awoke again and he woke the others. He put out the fire and got ready to leave. He woke Kilala, Hanto, Shippo and Miroku. He walked over to Sesshomaru who was mumbling in his sleep. "Rin.," he said softly, "Naraku.." Inu Yasha was surprised but woke his brother slowly. "Sesshomaru. wake up," Sesshomaru snapped open his eyes. It was almost dawn and still dark out. He stood and looked at Inu Yasha. "We're leaving," Inu Yasha said. "Were you listening?" Sesshomaru asked in his stoic expression. "I heard you mumble two words, but that was all," Inu Yasha confessed. He looked at Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru stared back at him, 'He didn't hear anything important then.' "Let's get going," Inu Yasha said as he turned to Miroku and the others. They left the camp and ran a fast as they could to Naraku's castle. They stuck together taking as few brakes as possible. Kagome fell asleep from crying about a half an hour ago. The others were all wide awake and talking to each other about Kagome. "What will we do?" Heisei asked. "There is nothing we can do," Sango said. "What about Inu Yasha?" Rin asked. "I don't know.," Sango said shaking her head. Kagome woke up. She looked at the others and hung her head. She didn't want to talk to anyone. Naraku appeared. He turned to Kagome. Sango growled fiercely and pulled on her chains as hard as she could. Rin also growled loudly, but stayed put. Kagome let her head hang. Sango was still struggling to get loose and after Naraku. "Naraku! You bastard!" she yelled, "Stay away from her!" "My, my Sango. We are upset aren't we?" he said with a sneer. Naraku reached up and lifted Kagome's face to look at her. "I am done with you wench," he said. He turned to Heisei. Naraku walked over to her and released her from the wall. She fell to the floor. Kagome looked up, 'He promised he would leave them alone!' "Naraku! You said that if I listened you would leave them alone!" Kagome yelled. Sango looked at her. 'She did all of this to protect us?' she thought. He turned back to Naraku. "I said no such thing my dear," Naraku said, "You were the one who chose to follow me." Kagome growled. She was becoming very angry. Kagome's eyes flashed red. She pulled as hard as she could on her right chain. The chain released its hold on the wall and fell to the floor. Kagome got a good grip on the piece around her wrist. She lifted up her hand and using it as a whip she struck it at Naraku. He easily dodged again and appeared in front of her. He backhanded her across her bruised cheek and reattached the chain to the wall all in one swift movement. Kagome winced in pain. She brought her hand up and touched the corner of her swollen cheek where the blood was flowing freely again from her mouth. She growled at Naraku. A tear slid down her cheek. She would not be able to protect her friends from him any longer. Naraku walked back over to Heisei who was now standing. He smiled an evil smirk. He walked around Heisei. "For your actions.," he said glancing at Kagome, "Your friends will pay the price." "No!" Kagome screamed. She pulled on her chains as hard as she could, but Naraku had double enforced hers this time. She was shaking her head and tears were sliding down her cheeks again mixing with the blood. "I shall start with her," he said gesturing to Heisei. She had been watching him and tried to move away, but tripped instead. Naraku raped her as well. He did it right in front of them. Everyone turned their heads. They didn't want to watch Naraku have fun. Naraku did notice that both Kagome and Heisei were marked and knew that they had mates. This was part of his knowledge that would become useful later. When Naraku was done he reattached a crying Heisei to the stone wall and moved over to Lanuta. She looked at him and started struggling. He did the same to her and noticed that she was a virgin and was not marked. Naraku put her back on the wall. Lanuta held her head in sorrow and shame. Naraku walked over to Sango smirking. He looked up at her. She struggled violently to get loose. Kagome growled again and pulled on her chains. Naraku took a screaming and kicking Sango off the wall. She kicked him in the side and he punched her in the gut. Sango doubled over in pain. She clenched her stomach and gasped for breath, but she still passed out. 'At least Sango won't be awake,' Kagome thought as she turned her head away from Naraku and Sango. She closed her eyes. Naraku finished with Sango and she was a virgin, too. He put the still passed out Sango back on the wall. He turned to Rin. He walked over to her. Kagome looked up. "Please. Naraku. leave her be. I beg of you," Kagome pleaded. Rin looked at him in horror and struggled against his grip. He took her off the wall, too. "No!" Kagome screamed, "Please!" Naraku looked at her. He smirked and laid Rin on the ground. She was an unmarked virgin, too. He knew that for a fact, but she would no longer be a virgin. Naraku raped Rin, too. Rin screamed a few times, but he always stopped her. He hit her twice on her left cheek and once in the stomach. When he was done he did not return her to the stone wall. He left he crying on the cold floor. Naraku walked over to Kagome. He took her off over his shoulder. He raped her again, but this time she was awake and made it very difficult for him to do so. She kicked him a number of times. He always punched her in the stomach or backhanded her across the face again. When he was done he returned her to the wall. Rin was still crying. He walked over and placed her over his shoulder. He stood and walked out carrying a still crying Rin. "Rin!" Kagome screamed. She was crying silent tears. The blood and salty tears fell from her cheeks to the ground. Naraku kept walking. He knew that the guys were only 15 or so miles away. He had decided to make it a bit more interesting. He took Rin to the door, placed her on the ground and told her to walk that way. She walked in the direction of the guys and still wore her chains. Naraku closed the door behind her with a smirk. Naraku calculated that Rin would walk three miles. Then the guys would find her and she would promptly pass out when they saw her. It was all part of his plan. He knew that Inu Yasha had the jewel fragments that he wanted, but he had prisoners. Rin kept walking. She continued to cry the entire way and was becoming exhausted. She felt some beings coming towards her. She sniffed the air and immediately recognized Sesshomaru's scent, but she continued to cry and walk. The guys continued to run, of course. Inu Yasha stopped along with the others. He sniffed the air and smelled Naraku's scent. It was close and he could feel the presence. Sesshomaru looked at him and sniffed the air, too. He growled because of the strong scent of Naraku. There were many different trails, but one stood out. Kilala growled and scanned in front of them. Inu Yasha took off towards the scent with the others right behind him. Sesshomaru was directly behind him. They saw a figure walking towards them with its head down and it was wearing chains and crying. It was a crying woman. Inu Yasha stopped a hundred yards away. Sesshomaru stopped behind him followed by the others. The women stopped. She still had her head down. She looked up at them still crying. "Rin!" Sesshomaru yelled. He took a few steps towards her. Inu Yasha was first surprised to see her and second that Sesshomaru had yelled and showed emotion. Rin weakly smiled while she continued to cry. She didn't want to have to tell them what Naraku had done to her and the others, least of all Sesshomaru. She fell to her knees and passed out. Sesshomaru ran to her and caught her in his strong arms. He picked her up bridle style. Sesshomaru looked at her battered and bruised body and smelled her scent. His eyes turned red and he growled loudly. Even Naraku heard him at his castle and he chuckled to himself. Sesshomaru turned to the others. His eyes slowly flickered back to normal and he looked at them for the first time truly sad. He walked towards them with Rin still unconscious in his arms. Inu Yasha watched his brother. Sesshomaru had never shone emotion before, at least to his knowledge. He also felt saddened for is brother and Rin. Sesshomaru stopped in front of Kilala. She transformed into her human form. Sesshomaru asked her to please look over Rin and bandage anything if needed. With the look in his eyes Kilala could not say no. She took Rin from Sesshomaru and walked a little away from the others. Kilala did a whole body inspection. There was nothing that needed to be bandaged, but there were bruises. She came back carrying Rin. She laid her on the ground and kneeled next to her. Gesturing to the areas over top of Rin's clothes she explained the extent of her injuries. "She will have a bruise here," she said gesturing to her left cheek, "Most likely from a punch or slap. She will also have a bruise here," she gestured to her stomach, "Also a punch. and there is one more thing." Sesshomaru looked at her in sorrow. 'Will Rin be ok?' he asked himself. "Well. what is it?" Inu Yasha asked softly, not wanting to upset his brother. "The last thing," she said standing up, "I believe you can all tell by her scent, but. I think that she should be the one to tell you Sesshomaru." She looked at him. Like she knew they would do they sniffed the air to figure out what else was wrong with her.
