Dawn of the unbroken: Chapter 3: Jenkosu
"INUYASHA SIT!" Echoed the schoolgirl's voice through the forest, causing birds to flee from their perch.
"Damnit, Kagome!" Yelled Inuyasha painfully as he pulled his head out of the earth's surface.
"Inuyasha you're such a jerk!" Yelled Kagome for the umpteenth time, and with that she picked up her yellow bag and fled towards the well.
"How dare he ask me to go make him a bowl of ramen! He knows he already ate it all…and besides I'm not his slave. I must have taught him a thousand times how to make it himself." Just then Kagome smiled to herself as she recalled the times she had indeed tried to teach Inuyasha how to make ramen then all attempts ending in the ramen exploding and sending boiled water onto his feet. Kagome giggled. Eventually Inuyasha's feet had become bright red sending Shippo into a teasing fit.
Kagome slowed her pace and debated on whether she should go back or not. No. Even if Inuyasha is lousy at making his own ramen, he should at least ask me nicely. I'll come back soon though. Kagome smiled as she saw the well. The sun had gone down by now.
Suddenly she heard a rustling sound coming from the bushes around her. Immediately she searched for her bow and arrow. It wasn't there. Kagome mentally cursed herself for leaving it back at camp.
"Hello, girl." Said a cold voice.
Kagome gasped and turned herself around trying to find the source of the voice. She took a few steps towards the well.
"Oh no, girl. I can sense your fear. You will not escape me."
Before Kagome knew what was happening she was forced to the ground, making her eyes swell with tears, as she felt sharp rocks against her back. She looked up at the figure which seemed blurry on account of her unshed tears.
"Such a pretty, young girl…I will enjoy this. I will absorb your youth."
Kagome shut her eyes tightly, pushing her tears from her eyes.
"INUYASHA!" She screamed.
-----
Inuyasha's ears twitched as he heard a faint cry of distress. Was it my imagination?
"Inuyasha…" No there it is again!
Inuyasha looked over at Sango and Miroku who were already falling asleep by the warmth of the fire. I guess there's no need to wake them…Kagome…
Inuyasha took off swiftly towards Kagome's cries.
-----
Kagome opened her now clear eyes to look at the face of her assaulter. A demon. Was the first thing that came to mind. His small bright yellow eyes gleamed down on her. His short black hair was matted with dried blood and he smelt like a rotten corpse.
"Get off of me, demon!" Kagome whined, attempting to free her wrists from the demon's snare.
"Demon?" Said the man holding her down. "Silly girl. I am no demon."
Kagome's eyes widened. He smiled widely. Suddenly a pair of long fangs grew over his bottom lip. Kagome screamed.
-----
Inuyasha ran faster through the woods as he heard Kagome's most recent scream.
"Kagome, don't you die on me…"
He followed her scent through the thick forest. Perhaps I should've alerted Sango and Miroku…
Inuyasha ran faster. Please Kagome…be safe. He certainly wasn't going to let the person whom he cared for most in the world get hurt. After Kikyo's death by Naraku's hands Inuyasha had promised Kagome that he wouldn't let her suffer like Kikyo did. Alone. And he wasn't going to break that promise.
-----
Kagome's assaulter lowered his head towards her neck. Kagome wriggled ferociously in fear, causing the now identified vampire's hands to loosen their grip on her wrists. She grabbed a closed by log with her free hand and swung it against the side of the vampire's head, causing him to roll off her.
Kagome quickly regained her stance but watched as the vampire slowly got to its feet. The vampire tilted his head and smiled and. Suddenly…he vanished. Kagome gasped as she felt the clammy hands of her nemesis grip her shoulders, it's long nails piercing her fragile skin. Her blood stained her uniform. He brought one of his arms around his neck then licked his finger, which had been splattered with her blood.
"Your blood is quite a delicacy to behold…I am lucky to have found such a specimen before my brothers…perhaps after I have drained your blood and taken you as another one of my many slaves…you can be my mate. Just think about it. Your beautiful self sided by me. The royal heir, Jenkasu."
As he hissed his name in Kagome's ear, she squirmed desperately in an attempt to free herself but Jenkasu's grip was too strong. He slowly brought his jaw towards her neck. Kagome held her breath. Inuyasha…
"KAGOME!" Inuyasha hollered as he jumped from out of the shade of the trees, unsheathing his sword as he did so.
In Jenkasu's astonishment he released Kagome who fell to the ground in front of him.
"What's this? An interruption?" Said Jenkasu with malice and annoyance in his voice. Kagome whimpered and ran towards Inuyasha who stood in a fighting stance with his Tetsusaiga at the ready.
"Excuse me. You have just interrupted my dinner!" Cried Jenkasu angrily withdrawing a long whip and began running towards Inuyasha.
"BASTARD! Kagome isn't anyone's main course! WIND SCAR!" With that the all too famous windscar was unleashed towards Jenkasu.
Unluckily just as the windscar was about to pierce their foe, Jenkasu jumped into the air avoiding the fierce attack.
"He's so fast!" Cried Kagome.
"Shut up, Kagome. I need to concentrate on killing this guy."
Jenkasu landed gracefully in the aftermath of the windscar. He grinned contently.
"Now I want the girl even more, half breed." He said smoothly. He winked at Kagome.
Kagome shivered with disgust.
"You bastard." Growled Inuyasha through clenched teeth
Inuyasha jumped towards Jenkasu and slashed at him with the Tetsusaiga. Jenkasu dodged his moves but not fast enough to save his outfit. Inuyasha had managed to slice three clean cuts in the black shirt of Jenkasu. Jenkasu dug his claws into Inuyasha's abdomen. Inuyasha groaned then gave out a cry as Jenkasu withdrew his hand from deep within Inuyasha's flesh. Inuyasha backed off a bit, landing in front of Kagome.
"Tsk…You ruined my favorite shirt…Oh well no use for it now."
Jenkasu pulled off the shirt, revealing his chest. He flexed his muscles vainly and smiled. (me: 0.o)
"See my pretty Kagome. This is what you'll get when you become my enslaved wife!"
Kagome glared disgustingly at him. He's just a vain loser! Koga is less desperate then this guy!
Inuyasha growled ferociously.
"That's enough." Inuyasha ran towards Jenkasu. Anger was filling his veins to the point of explosion. "Now I'm really mad!"
Jenkasu took out his whip once again and sent it flying towards the Tetsusaiga. It wrapped around the shiny blade. Jenkasu yanked at the whip with a smile. The sword came flying out of Inuyasha's hands, landing a couple meters behind Jenkasu. Inuyasha did not take this as a disadvantage. He merely quickened his pace, readying his claws.
"IRON REAVER, SOUL STEALER!" Inuyasha's power blades shot from his hands, piercing Jenkasu's stomach.
The attack sent a splash of blood everywhere. Kagome squinted as a couple droplets landed on her forehead. Though nobody noticed it, as soon as the blood had touched her skin a small black sun shaped crest with a silver five-point star inside its circle appeared on her forehead then faded away as she wiped the blood off.
Jenkosu, who had keeled over because of the attack, stood up painfully holding his wound. He looked at Inuyasha with a malicious hate.
"Sadly…I must take my leave. I cannot go without blood. And sadly I haven't drunken enough to suffice myself until tomorrow night. But I will not give up on the girl." He looked at Kagome with determination flaring in his eyes.
"Oh no you don't" Inuyasha lunged towards Jenkasu but before he had the time to hit him, Jenkasu vanished.
Inuyasha growled angrily. Kagome ran towards him and grabbed his arm in an attempt to calm him down. Inuyasha starred at Kagome.
"Are you alright?" He said grabbing her arms. Kagome whimpered in pain from the wounds Jenkasu had inflicted on her arms.
Inuyasha released her quickly.
"Sorry…Let me see."
"N-no I'm fine." Lied Kagome. All she wanted to do was go back to camp and get some sleep.
"Don't be stupid." Said Inuyasha his eyes flaring a bit.
Kagome sighed and sat to the ground, rolling up her sleeves on both arms.
Inuyasha flinched at the deep wounds Jenkasu had put on her arms. There were four bullet-like injuries on both arms. Kagome's eyes widened.
"Owww…" She whined now realizing how painful her injuries actually were.
Inuyasha grabbed her arm in his hand. Kagome held her breath, trying not to let her eyes swell with tears.
"Idiot, You're obviously not okay…whatever, give me you scarf."
Kagome unwrapped her scarf from around neck and gave it to Inuyasha who ripped it cleanly in two long strips and wrapped one strip around each of her arms as bandages. He then pulled himself and Kagome up. But it turned out that he had pulled Kagome a bit too hard up, for she stumbled forward, into Inuyasha's arms. Kagome looked into his amber eyes and blushed.
"Sorry, I put you through that. It was all my fault I was attacked in the first place." Tears filled her eyes as She looked down at the blood staining his haori.
Inuyasha wiped away a tear that had escaped her eye.
"No reason getting all blubbery." He said. His eyes looked softly at Kagome as her cheeks blushed slightly pinker.
I'm safe as long as I'm with him. She thought, But he's never safe when he's trying to protect me…Kagome dug her head into Inuyasha's haori. I'm so sorry, Inuyasha. I'm just a nuisance. Kagome felt Inuyasha's arms wrap tightly around her. I'm sorry I'm not stronger…then I could fight with you and the others. Inuyasha rested his chin atop her head. I'm sorry, Inuyasha.
Close by a pair of familiar bright yellow eyes watched the scene with great interest.
Heh heh now I see…their in love. This will just increase my pleasure of ripping them apart. Jenkosu smiled then turned and walked into the darkness of the woods chickling to himself.
Kagome let a single tear fall from her eye. She knew she couldn't protect herself. She wasn't even an all powered miko! Actually she wasn't even sure if she could do much more then shoot sacred arrows and sense jewel shards. Just then Kagome felt a burning sensation in her forehead.
She groaned, letting go of Inuyasha and holding her head.
"Kagome? What is it?" Said Inuyasha worried.
"Nothing…I-it's just a stupid headache.
"Last time you said nothing was wrong it turned out your arms had been torn apart! Here let me feel."
Kagome let her hands fall from her forehead. Inuyasha gasped. In the center of her forehead, just above her eyesbrows faded in and out a silver star within a black sun. Kagome groaned and clutched forehead again.
"God, Kagome. What did he do to you?" Said Inuyasha in bewilderment.
He swiftly took Kagome's head in his hands, realizing that there was still a bit of Jenkasu's blood on her forehead, he rubbed it off. The crest shone brightly in a one beam, landing on Inuyasha's neck. The beam of light formed a small image of the crest. Kagome squeeked.
"Inuyasha…."
Inuyasha starred wide-eyed as finally the crest faded away. Then he looked at Kagome who had tears forming at the side of her eyes out of fear.
"I think we should go see Kaede."
