Twisted Love

Chapter 31: For the Love of Serenity

Bryant was watching television, flipping through channels. 'Boredom..it sucks'

He sighed and turned off the television. Getting up he grabbed his jacket and left his apartment. 'I need some hot chocolate..and a hug..'

He walked down the street, thinking about many things in his life that bothered him. He thought about the love that had been born in his heart for Serenity...the deal he made with Hime...His own life and mistakes he had commited. He sighed and turned to corner to approach the Tsuroka residence. He smiled at the memories that flooded his mind when he was with Serenity. Even when he had been an ass to her sometimes, she always stayed with him, and he wouldn't be able to thank her enough for it. He climbed a tree and jumped towards the back of the house. He landed softly on the grass and walked towards Serenity's window. He sensed a youkai aura near, so he hid behind some bushes. The scent of grass, flowers, and soil overpowered his own scent. The shadow picked up a small rock and flung it towards Serenity's window.

'I reconize this aura..' Bryant thought as he resisted the urge to knock the shadow down. He saw Serenity open the window, a smile on her pretty face.

"Kouga?" Serenity asked. Bryant wanted to run to Kouga, his anger rising. He resisted, knowing Kouga would probably hear him if he moved. He needed the asshole to say what he wanted, why he was there before he could make his move.

"Serenity, we have to"

"What are you doing here!" Serenity whispered, Bryant heard her. "How dare you come to my win"

Kouga jumped. He tried to stand up, a root grabbed on to his ankle. It was wrapped around his shoe, sinking in to his ankle. Not enough to draw blood, but he couldn't get it out. How had he not noticed he had stepped on roots from the old tree.

'No! Not again, please not again! That bastard, why me? Why her? No, Bryant, pull yourself together...get the hell outta here, save Serenity! Don't let Kouga ruin your life again!'

Kouga jumped back down, a struggling Serenity in his arms. "Hey, Kouga let me go!"

'NO!' Bryant tried desperatly to yank the roots from his foot. Serenity elbowed Kouga, she managed to take at least two steps. Kouga grabbed her again.

"Let me go!" Kouga shook his head and ran off with Serenity in his arms. Bryant watched him angrily, he engraved Kouga's aura in to his mind. Full of rage, Bryant yanked out the roots, breaking them and at the same time cutting his hand. He got up, running after the youkai. The dust Kouga left behind and his aura was enough.

Bryant ran after them, setting on finally killing the youkai that had caused him so much pain.

IIIIIIIIIIIII

"The wolf has taken Bryant's beloved" Hitomi bowed to his mistress. Hime turned around, an amused smile on her face. She laughed.

"Even better then I imagined!" Hime looked at the moon, her laugh echoing. "Kouga, what an idiot! He has fallen right in to my trap...who knew Bryant's koiishi would be the cause of all this. The anger Bryant hold towards the wolf, maybe he'll kill him"

"Do you really believe that?"

"Yes" Hime said "Of course there is always the fact that the wolf might want to get his mate back, seeing as to how Bryant has taken her. This shall be very interesting..."

"Hime" Kikyo walked towards her.

"Kikyo, is everything ready?"

"Yes, all we need is your word"

"Of course, just be patient" Hime smirked. "In nine months, when the miko births her pup...that is when my plan will carry out. Kikyo, Hitomi...make sure everything is ready, I do not want anything to interefer when I strike"

"Yes" Kikyo and Hitomi left Hime by the small waterfall. Hime's crystal blue eyes looked in to the water, she dipped her feet it.

'Aitoriko, you promised me so many things...You told me you loved me, changed me, and said that you would give me the ultimate time powers. I wanted that...and to have your love. That is why, I shall carry out what you plan, and how you order me to do it'

"Hime..." A gentle masculine voice echoed in her ears.

"Aitoriko, my love...everything is set for them"

"Good...Hime, go in to the woods"

"Why?"

"My girl, I need you...I must have you"

"Yes, of course"

Hime walked in to the woods, following Aitoriko's voice. She finally made it to a small clearing where a man stood in the darkness.

"Aitoriko" Hime breathed out. He caught her in his arms, dropped his lips to her mouth. Hime wrapped her arms around his neck, opening herself to him. She allowed him to touch her, silently promise to take her to the stars. He smirked as he set her on the grass.

'Such an innocent child...following my orders, giving in to me...what a foolish child'

IIIIIIIIIIIII

Kouga opened the door to his apartment. "You remember this apartment, Serenity"

Serenity glared at him. She kicked him hard, taking a few steps back. "Let me go, Kouga...I don't want anything to do with you anymore"

"Serenity" Kouga gasped out. He grabbed her arms, looking in to her eyes. "I haven't forgotten about you...I want you back in my arms"

"No" Serenity growled. "You won't have me ever again...you've destoried by life, I won't let you break me more"

"It wasn't my intention" Kouga defended "I swear, it wasn't!"

"My ass" Serenity huffed "You tried to kill me, Kagome, and you killed Myaka...tell me, Kouga, do you honestly deserve to be happy? Do you deserve to feel peace in your life?"

"Give me another chance!"

"Never!" Serenity yelled. She ran for the door, he caught her. "Let me go! I hate you, I hate you!"

"Your my mate!"

"Not anymore!" Serenity yelled, trying to release herself from his grasp. "I'm not your mate! I belong with"

"You belong to me!" Kouga raised his hand, slapping the girl hard. Serenity fell to the floor, a youkai slap. She groaned, cradeling her sore cheek. Serenity shot back up.

"You bastard!" Serenity screamed, slamming her fist on his chest. "I despise you! You disgust me!"

Serenity knocked him to the floor, straddeling him. She yanked on his ears, yanked on his hair, slapped him. Kouga flipped them out, he tried to control her.

"Let me go!" Serenity yelled. He slapped her again. Serenity screamed and threw him off. She ran in to her old room, locking the door. She yanked open her closet, grabbed her high heel shoe that was still there. Kouga broke the door open, Serenity fumbled with the shoe, but placed it on her foot. Kouga ran for her, Serenity lifted her foot, kicking his face with her heel.

Kouga groaned and fell back. She scratched his face with her nails, leaving four deep gashes in her wake. Kouga grabbed her foot, she kicked him with her bare foot. Kouga fell back, Serenity threw all her shoes at him. She threw her clothes at him, her make-up..anything to get him to back away. He grabbed her wrist, she used her heeled foot to kick him in the crotch.

"Go to hell!" Serenity yelled and ran out of the room. She ran in to the bathroom, grabbing the mouth cleaner, tooth paste, and a bottle of shampoo. She stumbled out of the bathroom and ran for the door. Kouga knocked her down. Serenity twisted around, reaching to her side for the tooth paste. Without the wolf noticing her managed to grab it.

"You belong to me, Serenity. You're my property!" Kouga yelled and yanked down her shirt. "That mar"

He stopped. Her mark was gone. "What the fuck did you do! How did you get rid of my mark?"

Serenity squirted some tooth paste on her hand. "The same way I got it on! Get off me!"

She wiped her tooth paste in his eyes. Kouga threw himself off of her, his eyes bruning from the minty tooth paste. Serenity ran for the door, he grabbed her ankle.

"Y-You went with who?"

"With none of you fucking buisness!"

He slammed her to the ground. "Who?"

She caught sight of the door. If she could knock him off just one more time, she could escape. "Let me go!"

"Tell me!"

"Bryant!" Serenity screamed in his face. The shocked look the wolf had was enough, Serenity kicked him away. She flung herself up, she misjudged his speed.

"That asshole! Your mark dissapeared because of him?" Kouga snarled "I'm gonna make that mark re-appear right now!"

Serenity scowled. "NO!"

The door slammed open, Bryant tackled Kouga off of Serenity. "You son of a bitch!"

Bryant kicked Kouga. Serenity crawled over to the kitchen, she opened the cabinet door. She grabbed the cleaner, and crawled back in to the living room. Her legs felt like they weighed a ton. She had to drag herself back. Kouga threw Bryant aside, came after Serenity. She opened the cleaner, Kouga grabbed her.

"You little"

"Fuck you!" Serenity threw the liquid on his face. Kouga let her go, grabbing his face. She gasped and skimmed the label. His eyes were burning, the cleaner burning his wounds on his face. Bryant took her arm.

"Let's get you outta here" Bryant placed her behind him as he left the apartment.

"My legs..he did something to me" Serenity winced. Bryant placed her on his back, walking through the darkness of the city.

"Are you okay?" He asked. Serenity laid her cheek on his shoulder.

"He hit me.." She admitted "Nothing to serious..I hit him a couple of time with my heel, and I scratched his face. I had to defend myself"

"You did fine" He whispered. "I'm glad your okay"

"H-How did you know?..That he took me, I mean"

"I wanted hot chocolate...I went to your house, but I saw him take you. I tried to stop him, but my foot was caught in some roots"

"Oh"

"I'm sorry..I couldn't get here earlier"

"It's okay"

"I could've saved you from being hit"

"Don't worry about it...I'm safe now"

"I promise I won't let anything happen to you"

"I know..thank you" Serenity tightened her grip, kissing his cheek.

"I-I love you.." Bryant paused "I think since we met when we were kids, something was there...just never paid any attention to it"

"I love you to" Serenity smiled happily, settling on falling asleep. Bryant carried her back to the house, Inu Taisho answering the door.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Kouga dissapeared again. He called Serenity, saying he never meant to bring harm to her. He told her he loved her. InuYasha was tied up with Kagome...the hunger, the bathroom every five minutes, the mood swings, and her sensitive emotions. Ayame was growing, beginning to walk by herself..say some words her uncle influenced on her. Bryant and Serenity...both seemed to be happy being with eachother. Six months, they had gone a long way. Bryant thought about his deal with Hime, he would keep it. Hime visited him, to talk, and to tell him sometimes the whereabouts of Kouga. Bryant sill wanted revenge, he intended to kill Kouga.

In to the eighth month of Kagome's pregnancy, InuYasha was so worn out. They started to look for a house to raise their pup in. Kagome fell in love with a house that was only about twenty minutes away from the Tsuroka residence. InuYasha attended college, he was going to work in his father's corporation. Sesshomaru, Serenity, and InuYasha were going to be the heads ot it, but for that they needed to master some subjects. Kagome was homeschooled. She was going to become a teacher. InuYasha agreed to buy the house for his mate. He liked it to, but it was Kagome who loved the house. Once bought, they started to decorate it.

Sango was in college, working on becoming a doctor. She and Miroku finally got together. Miroku also attended college, working to become a lawyer. Souta started high school, Koharu as his girlfriend. Rin was busy taking care of Ayame. Inu Taisho and Azuki lef to see the world. Sesshomaru and Rin agreed to stay in the house...InuYasha and Kagome were already getting started on moving out. Serenity had her own apartment, Bryant also had his own apartment. Elizabeth stayed in college, working to become a designer. She would travel a lot. Amy moved to England for her studies, working on journalism.

Currently, Sesshomaru was arguing with his brother. Rin was feeding Ayame, Kagome was sitting on the couch. Serenity and Bryant were playing a game. Kagome sighed. She felt a gush of liquid flow out, she gasped.

"InuYasha!" Kagome yelled. InuYasha came rushing in.

"Whats wrong? Need to go to the bathroom again?"

"No, you baka! The baby is coming!"

"What!"

"You heard me, the baby!"

Kagome groaned as her first contraction hit her hard. She screwed up her face in pain. InuYasha lifted her up. "Fluffy, grab her bag that's upstairs please"

Sesshomaru went to grab the bag. InuYasha put his mate in the car. Sesshomaru handed him the bag. "We'll be there in a little while"

"Alright"

InuYasha stepped on the gas, taking off towards the hospital.
