Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha, but I do own the character Cassiel and the Jewel of Time.
"What problem?" Kouga asked growing nervous.
"That 'Guy' you let Hiten take away, was actually a girl." Cassiel said smacking her forehead.
"Man she had a flat chest…. Are you sure that was a girl?" Kouga retorted
"Yes you idiot I'm VERY sure!" Cassiel yelled. "We have to go get her! She is the other priestess…. Oh my god….. What is going to happen to her…?" she said growing more worried
"Kouga" Kagome interrupted " Let me tell you what has happened"
"Ok fine…. But I still say that was a guy." Kouga pouted
Hiten's Clan
Inari peered around. She saw them, the wolves they were everywhere. She began to count them there were at lest 50 that she could see alone. " Damn. There is no way I can make it out of here without being seen. Shit….. Lets see I can't move because of the pain, they are all staring at me, and I think I'm about to be very sick in a moment." Inari contemplated her fate. She didn't have very long to wait before the leader came in.
Inari's eyes widened " Oh Shit" she muttered to herself. She knew this wolf…. She had stolen his clothes. She rolled her eyes heaven ward and thought silently "Why do you hate me!" The leader slowly walked forward.
Hetin looked at his wolf member. He seemed rather small. No facial hair of any kind was growing on his face. ' He must be very young then' he thought to himself. Hiten admired the courage the young wolf had had in facing that rat Kouga alone. "Your very foolish you know that right?" he barked at the boy.
"Foolish or not, I still had enough courage to fight him. So what's your excuse for being a coward?" Inari quipped
Hiten smacked her hard across the face "Don't forget who your talking to. I am your master. Never forget that. Next time I won't be so lenient with you. I still don't know your name. But you smell like one of mine. Now who are you?"
Inari's mind raced . "My name is I-chan" She said doing her best to sound male. "I came to serve under you two weeks ago…sir" she ground out between her teeth.
Hiten smirked with satisfaction " I'm glad you learn so fast. Maybe I will let you live through the night."
' Or maybe I'll get away and hit you over the head again' she thought with great joy. ' this time I'll take your clothes and dump you in the ICE COLD river' She had to stop herself from smiling
Hiten loomed closer toward his "Brother" . He stared intently at the face "Do I know you? I feel I've seen you before"
"As I said… I came to serve you two weeks ago. It would stand to reason that I would look familiar to you….Sir." She said and tried to bow her head a little so that he would think she was being submissive.
"Yes … you're probably right. Are you healed enough to go back and finish the job little one?" Hiten smiled.
'Idiot… your delivering me to my friends. Thank you so much for being soooooo stupid.' Inari smiled and with strong determination "Yes I am" and they both began to laugh. For two VERY different reasons.
Cassiel
"Wait… so she isn't a man?" Kouga said.
Cassiel was about to kill him when Kagome held her back. "For the 12th time! Yes he is a she! Do you understand !" she said slowly.
Kouga looked more confused. "Kouga sweetie" Kagome said " Let me put it this way. Inari is like me"
"Ohhhh then it's a girl!" Kouga said proudly.
"Very good" Cassiel said. "Now do you see WHY we need to go rescue HER?"
"Maybe…. No… not really. She should be fine! Oh wait….." Kouga stopped mid sentence
"What?" Kagome said.
"Hiten has the tendency to eat his females." Kouga said
"HE DOES WHAT?" Cassiel SCREAMED.
"Well when he gets bored…he…eats…them…" Kouga coughed
Thump They both turned to see that Kagome had fainted. " great more problems" Cassiel muttered.
Cassiel was very worried about Inari the very thought of her being eaten hurt her heart. Inari and she had been friends forever it seemed. What could she do? Cassiel began to pray Inari would find a way to escape and come over that hill any second. "Yeah any second now" Cassiel turned around and helped Kouga get Kagome up.
1 Hour later
Cassiel had managed to wake Kagome up by smacking her a few times. Kouga really didn't like that. However Cassiel had scared him into silence. Cassiel stood up.
"Inari!" She ran toward the scent and looked over the hill. Her smile disappeared ."Oh you brought a friend"
Inari looked at Cassiel and tried her best to give her a warning. "Move you wench! I came for the dog-breath. The last thing I need is to be worried about two women getting in the way" Inari hoped she would get the hint.
Cassiel understood. "Don't worry you mutt! " She shot back " We women won't be a problem you just need to worry about how Kouga's gonna kill your leader" Cassiel snarled. Hoping her acting (Note Cassiel is in human Form) would fool Hiten.
'She's overdoing it!' Inari groaned. ' I have got to distract Hiten'. She turned to him " Sir… why don't you get Kouga and I'll take his woman for you. Insult to injury. Who knows she might be…..fun" She tried to keep from gagging.
"I like the way you think little one. Yes bring them both for me. You'll get one I'll get the other" He smirked
'Oh Sick!' Inari thought. 'you sick bastard. I am so kicking your ass later' But she smiled on.
Hiten leapt after Kouga. Who forgetting that Inari was really a woman… went after her. Inari had just reached Kagome and Cassiel and was getting them to safety when Kouga reached out and grabbed her shirt (from behind) in one hand and her hair in the other
RIP The sound echoed as Inari's hair came tumbling down and her breasts were freed from the binding (She still has clothes on…perverts -)
Hiten and Kouga stared at her. "Oh yeah…" Inari made an attempt at a giggle "Did I forget to mention I wasn't a demon….or a guy? Well you know how these things slip your mind"
"oh yeah you're a girl." Kouga said absent mindedly.
"Kouga you IDIOT!" Cassiel screamed. "We went over this 12 times!" then she leapt over and started hitting him on the head.
"You…" Hiten looked at her. "I know you! You're the wench that stole my clothes!" He roared.
Cassiel turned. "Wait you saw him naked? Inari! So…. Was it….nice?" she asked
"I didn't look there you sicko!" She turned to Hiten. "I neither confirm nor deny that I took your clothes. However In my defense, I kinda needed them" Inari said trying not to blush
"I needed them too!" Hiten shot back. "I will make you pay for embarrassing me in front of my ENTIRE clan!" He dashed forward to strike at her, then stopped. "I have a better Idea about punishing you. I'll simply kill Kouga and take all three of you women. You'll provide tonight's entertainment for me and my men" He began to smirk.
"You forget one thing dumbass" Inari said calmly. " I won't let you touch them…." she said. "Or me" she added as an after thought.
"What's going to stop me! Some little bitch on a power trip, some half wimp mutt? " Hiten grew more angry
"Nope" Inari said smiling " Woody will."
"Who the hell is woody?" Hiten snarled.
"Oh you've met him before…." She moved so fast Hiten had no time to react. She ripped a branch off a tree and dashed at him. With all her might she brought it down on top of his head. Hiten looked stunned and then fell to his knees "Like I said you've met woody before" Inari said as she skipped away. Hiten blacked out.
"And he called ME the wimp." Kouga said in disgust. "Taken down by a FEMALE…. How week can you ge-" Kouga collapsed . Kagome stood with the branch in her hand. And Looked at Inari and Cassiel
"What?"
"Oh nothing" Inari and Cassiel said as they began to drag Kouga down the hill. Before they left Inari went back and crushed some berries, taking the juice she wrote " YOU LOSE" on Hiten's forehead. They headed toward a safe place to camp. Cassiel turned to Inari and said "How mad is he going to be when he wakes up?" She said a little curious
"Who cares? It's not like he'll be much of a threat" They both laughed.
Hiten stood watching them not very far away. "Oh my little one…. I can be a VERY big threat indeed." he said rubbing the juice off his forehead.
Sessho POV
"Master ! Please reconsider what your doing! Quit obsessing over some woman" Jaken cried.
Sesshomaru turned. "You dare question me. Jaken? I am not obsessing over some human female. I simply wish to let her know her mistake. To touch me! A human filth that knocked me out. I was too kind Jaken. I was far too kind. I will not allow such trash to get the better of me." He said calmly.
"Butt…but master-" Jaken trembled
"Jaken? Do you wish to anger me? Are you so quick to meet death then?" Sess (name to long for me to want spell over and over again ß Authors Note) smiled . Not good
"No sir1 No sir!" Jaken rushed. "Whatever you say master!" Jaken stammered "If I may beg your pardon my lord…. Mistress Rin is calling" He ran off.
"Soon you will feel my anger and be punished for your insolence… you human." Sess looked at the moon "Yes very soon" and Sess began to plan for her demised.
I and C POV
The night was quiet and the stars looked overhead. Inari felt uneasy. She looked at the forms of her sleeping friends. "Perhaps I went to far with Hiten today…." she whispered. Now was not the time to be worried. Soon it would be Cassiel's turn to take the watch. Inari settled herself down under a tree nearby. The fire crackled at her, as if Mocking her for all she had done. "Well it's better than Home right?" She mused to herself.
Cassiel placed her hand on Inari's shoulder. "Hey it's my turn" She smiled . Inari went off to her sleeping place. Cassiel was also worried. The new moon was coming soon. In about three days time she would not have her powers. Like Inuyasha she had to revert to only her human form. Cassiel's body (this goes for Inari as well) could not hold the power all the time. The jewel made it so that she could have it for as long as she did when the moon turned. However no human body could contain all that power without burning up. She still had not told Inari about her "Condition". If anyone attacked them during that time…. Kouga would be the only one who could defend them…..
"Then we'd be screwed" she said. Inari turned over
"Who's being screwed?" Inari said half asleep.
"Go back to sleep" Cassiel said laughing. She turned around. The rustle of the leaves calmed her. Cassiel forced herself to stay alert. She could not let her guard down. If she failed to protect them… it would kill her inside.
"Hey I'm going to go relieve myself" Inari said stumbling. "Don't listen ok?"
"like I would!" Cassiel said. She continued to watch the hills.
Hiten POV
At last the chance he had been waiting for. He felt his excitement grow as Inari came closer to where he was. "If I'm lucky she'll walk right into my trap" He silently laughed. He waited patiently until Inari was not paying attention. He began to move….quietly…. Not a single noise came to warn her as he crept up behind her. Inari was just looking at the stars. Hiten counted his lucky stars she was so oblivious to him. He reached out….
Cassiel POV
Cassiel was a little curious… Inari had been gon an awfully long time. "What did she fall into something!" She muttered. Well perhaps it was best not to go check. That could be worse than being paranoid. Well that and if Inari was fine… it would be embarrassing to walk in on her. Cassiel sat and waited for Inari to return.
Inari POV
' Great move Inari… taunt the wolf demon…. Now you're tied up over his shoulder and you know what he has on his mind….' Inari shuttered.
"Cold little one?" Hiten asked out of pure malice.
"oommg bihfr maens " Inari said . Not that anyone could under stand what she had said ( Oh Bite Me!) she had tried to kick him so he had bound her feet. Coming from behind her had had grabbed her mouth and threatened to kill the others if she made a sound. Trying to fight him had been a bad idea. Now she was bleeding from her arm. 'wait…' Inari smiled from her gag. She began to brush up against trees and bushes Hiten passes. 'Please Cassiel follow the blood drip road' She thought.
"Don't worry girl. I won't give you to my men. Your so feisty… I'll keep you all to myself. Who knot's you might live longer than the others."
"Wfhat ohnkjkufs?" (What others?) Inari tried to say.
"well you know it gets kind of lonely in an all male wolf clan.. So we find some females… and when I get bored with them… I find that they taste pretty good" He said and flung her to the ground. She looked to see all of the wolves staring at her.
"wkjill Fjkjk" (well Fuck…) Inari said as she stared straight back at the. 'This will not end well'
Cassiel POV
Something was wrong. Inari was missing. It had been 4 hours since Inari had left. She woke up Kouga and Kagome. Cassiel told them of all that had happened.
"Every time I take my eyes off her…. She had to get into trouble." Cassiel shouted. "I'm getting tired of this!"
Inari POV
Hiten walked slowly toward her. "Leave" He commanded the wolves. Some of them looked at her with pity, some where mockingly laughing and joking about the situation. "Now my little fox…. It's time to be tamed by the wolf" He kneeled down and untied her mouth. He took her face in his hands and Kissed her. She blinked
"Well I've had better" Inari said. Glaring at him.
"How many?" Hiten said, not fazed. He reached down and touched her leg.
"Hey Not on the first date Buddy" she said and brought her knees up nearly hitting him in the groin.
"Little one…. You don't have a choice" He began to unite her legs and then he untied her hands. Inari didn't try to fight. "Good you do learn fast don't you? Now be a good girl and lay down" He smirked. Inari began to do as he asked.
Bringing her foot up she kicked him in the groin. He doubled over. She punched him (upper cut) in the face. Then she took her elbow and drove it into his back. Hiten groaned in pain. The wolves came rushing in.
"Come on you assholes…. I'll take you all on if I have too!" She cried she got into a defensive stance.
They ignored her. "Sir! We're being attacked! The half-breed is out side!" The began shouting at once
Hiten got to his feet slowly. "I'll deal with him personally. Tie up the woman DON'T TOUCH HER or I will kill you. She is MINE. I will deal with the half-breed" he said as he walked slowly out of the room trying not to wince in pain. "I'll be back for you my little fox"
Inari gets Tied up…..AGAIN
Inuyasha stood outside. Many of Hiten's clan were already wounded or dead. Inuyasha was in a rage. He had followed the scent of Cassiel to this cave. Hiten must be protecting her. Therefore Inuyasha felt he had to take Cassiel off Hiten's hands. The foolish wolves had tried to stop him. They were weak and unable to stop the fury of his sword. Now the leader was coming. "You coward!" Inuyasha smiled.
"Give me the woman" He said getting ready to strike
"the woman is mine you dog. When I'm done with her… I may let you have her. " He smirked and strode forward.
"Done with her? Oh no wolf boy I want her now. She is MINE and I will have her." Inuyasha charged forward. His sword gleaming in a vicious light. Hiten dodged and rained fire down on him
Inari watched as the wolves who guarded her became distracted with the fight. They had only bound her arms. Her legs were free. She quietly got up and began to sneak to the back of the cave.
"Did you hear something?" Kijakmaru asked.
"Shut up I'm trying to watch." Came a reply.
Inari breathed a sigh of relief. She crept along the wall to the entrance… Staying in the shadows she managed to leave the cave. She swallowed, her breathing became normal. She began to walk down the side of the hill where the cave was located. ' please keep them busy whoever you are' She thought and tried to stay out of sight.
Hiten and Inuyasha were both wounded. They glared at eachother.
"Do you know what I will do to her?" Hiten snarled
"It won't matter she's coming with me! You won't be able to touch her" Inuyasha growled.
Hiten knew he could not continue to fight him. He called for his wolves. They came pouring out of the cave. Inuyasha put away his sword. "Iron Remer Soul Stealer" He cried and began to slash them. Hiten did not want his clan hurt.
"Fine Dog… you can have her…IF she'll go with you!" Hiten spat
"Bring her out" Inuyasha said.
"Do it!" Hiten shouted.
Kijakmaru came forward. "We can't sir"
"Why not?" Hiten snarled
"She's gone sir" he said cowering.
"I think I like her even more now. In fact , I like her so much… I'm going to make her my mate. I mean after all she did knock me out twice, get away from my clan, and get the best of me….. Yes. Besides … She is pretty cute, even though she's a human." He smiled to himself
"What the hell are you talking about?" Inuyasha said. "Bring me Cassiel!"
"who is that? " Hiten said
"Don't play dumb…well maybe you're not playing…. I still want Cassiel!" Inuyasha Grabbed his sword.
"Look Half-breed… I had a girl named Inari not Cas.. Whatever …" Hiten shot back. "Whoever this Cassy person is, is not my problem. I want Inari"
"Feel like working together Hetin? You get your woman and I get mine. " Inuyasha said.
"that's the smartest Idea you've had yet. It's a deal;" They shook hands
Cassiel POV
"I've got a bad feeling" Kagome said
