Here's ch. 16.

Look, you all, I know that I'm hurting Sesshomaru a lot, but I want you to know I don't do it out of spite. He's a very dynamic character, but something drastic must happen to his character to change his attitude, because he is very self-righteous. He doesn't doubt his motives, ever, and I have to work with that. Nowhe's going to seem OOC because his dynamic character is changing to accomodate the situation. And I do not work in the same way that everyone does, nor am I a sick, twisted child. I'm conventional. There's too many ideas overused and I'm trying to employ my own. I hope it's working, because I love what I do, and I hope you love it too. And besides, I am more of a Stephen King fan, so I'm into horror.

Now that you all know how I feel, read and think about what I've said. It'll really help the story, I think. Thanks for taking time to read it, and sorry the speech was so long. I get insight from my reviews and flames. I don't mean to go berserk about them...

"Kagome, do you see any sign of him?"

"No, Inuyasha. Let's go further into the city!"

Kagome and Inuyasha followed Sesshoumaru's wave of destruction into the city. They would've been quicker if Inuyasha didn't feel slightly dizzy from what poison Sesshoumaru inadvertently injected into his left arm. It had felt like a leaden pipe, but now it was starting to regain feeling; the feeling that spikes of all sizes were being driven into every square millimeter of his flesh.

"It's startin' to look real messy here," Inuyasha said somberly.

A bus had been upended in the path before them. Kagome's gasp revealed another truth.

Sesshoumaru was captive, under the influence of tranquilizers.

Before the miko and hanyou, the fallen Were-Dog was squashed onto a form-fitting cage and being held down by enormous arcing metal pipes. (A.N: Like on the Lost World, with the T-Rex)

"Inuyasha, we have to do something. If they take him…"

"I know, but what do we do?"

Kagome assessed their situation.

1.They were currently hiding behind the bus

2.They were currently a miko and hanyou.

3.A hanyou could be just as bad as a youkai in this situation.

4.That hanyou was Inuyasha

Neither of the assessments was good. All they could do involved following Sesshoumaru to wherever he would be taken and break him out exactly when his transformation ebbed and he came to his mind, and long before his captors saw his humanoid form. She told Inuyasha this.

"You're crazy!" he hissed. "That's perfect!"

Kagome rolled her eyes.

Suddenly, two enormous Chinook CH-47 choppers flew in. The men secured Sesshoumaru's cage onto them and they flew him out.

"Damn it!" Inuyasha snarled.

"We can keep up! They're really slow. Jump on the buildings, Inuyasha!"
"Right."

Inuyasha got to the top of an apartment complex and leapt from building to building, following his unconscious brother's trail.

Sesshoumaru the Were-Dog was still raging, but Sesshoumaru the Inu Youkai was starting to become frightened, something he was more prone to as of recently. He knew he was being carried away in the air, and the jostling was making him feel ill. He was used to traveling his way, at his volition, and whenever he didn't, he got motion sick, like any other dog in his situation.

I don't like this, get me off…he thought.

But his body would not respond. He was also hardly in control of his rage. What should he do?

He whimpered, which came out as a sort of snarling growl in his current form.

"They're landing!"

"I see that, Kagome! I'm not stupid!"

Inuyasha was plain annoyed now. His arm hurt and he was saving his brother from what looked to be a high security place.

"This is…a zoo laboratory…" Kagome said softly. "They're gonna experiment on him…"

Sesshoumaru was now fully awake and raging in his prison. He rammed the walls harshly, trying to get out.

He wanted to sate his insatiable hunger on these men, for his insides were cramping in Were-Dog hunger.

And they just stood there, separated from him by twelve inches of glass and three inch bars.

In absolute rage, he swung his head around viciously, flecking the glass with spit. Immediately, it began to melt, but it stopped eventually, creating a seven inch hole in the glass. The zoologists readied their tranquilizer guns and shot him again, putting him under a relatively light dose. He couldn't move, but he was quite conscious as they scraped from his tongue the poison drool and put into a special container that wouldn't melt. They also decided to give him a physical examination (after sedating him a little more of course). He growled at them, but that was all he had the option to do. They lifted his hackles and checked the coloration of his gums, which weren't healthy because of his disease. They next began to nitpick at his fur to see if he was matted or had any fleas. After that, they checked his heart rate, muscling, and various other things.

But there were a few much worse things they did.

The first nasty thing they did was take his temperature, which involved an enormous thermometer being shoved up his rear end. He yelped in discomfort and pain as they did this, and he started regaining his ability to move. This led to the second nasty thing.

Having run out of the required amount of tranquilizer darts, the men decided to use a sleeping pill on him, which since he would not swallow willingly…well, it's sort of self explanatory which end the medicine goes in if an animal doesn't want to eat it.

And finally, the third nasty thing they did was give him immunizations in random areas where they needed to be administered.

All in all, Sesshoumaru felt pretty woebegone and soporific at the end, not to mention excruciatingly sore in the behind.

And it was starting to get late, late enough to be morning…

"Inuyasha, do you think you can move fast enough to dodge the cameras?"

"Sesshoumaru could, but I don't think I can…"

Inuyasha wasn't willing to bet his reputation on outrunning those cameras, but he figured that he should at least try.

"Hold on, Kagome."

He gripped her and began to run. He darted from side to side in an attempt to dodge the cameras, which worked.

By the time he reached the area Sesshoumaru was being housed in, his heart was racing, adrenaline pumping madly.

"Okay…" he panted. "Now what?"

"Now…um…didn't think of that…"

Suddenly, Kagome heard voices.

"Inuyasha!"

"I know!"

He jumped up and grabbed onto a low hanging light fixture, smartly taking weight off it by pushing himself against the wall like a spider.

A group of workers exited the laboratory and he let himself down.

"Gods, that was friggin' annoying!" he snarled.

"Come on, its five o'clock in the morning, he'll be demorphing any time now…"

Suddenly, light began to come through the skylights in the lab and roars were audible through the door. Nervously, Kagome and Inuyasha went in, just in time to see Sesshoumaru's grotesque transformation back to his normal self. He collapsed back to the ground, breathing harshly.

"Sesshoumaru, you okay!" Inuyasha asked.

"My…ass…" he groaned. "It hurts…"

"Can you walk?"

Sesshoumaru got to his feet and waddled to the glass. He looked so sick, so tired, so forlorn from the glass…

"I'll get you out. Back up."

"Unh…"

Suddenly, Sesshoumaru fainted and fell backwards.

"Close enough. WIND SCAR!"

The energy burst through the glass and metal, which showered Sesshoumaru, but left him unscathed.

"Inuyasha, that was reckless!" Kagome snarled.

"So what? He's safe! Now lets grab him before those guys get back."

Sesshoumaru groaned as he came back to consciousness.

"You better?"

"Ugh…"

"Can you move?" Kagome pressed.

"My butt hurts…"

R&R please!
