"Get off..." Inuyasha groaned as he tried to push the other off of his back, unable to flip over unless he wanted his ankles to be cut right off by the bindings that were the blades of Jakotsu's snake sword, "Get off of me, you goddamn corpse..."

Chuckling as he massaged his cold, dead hands against Inuyasha's back, forcing both of the red and white fabrics upward as he did so, "You might enjoy this if you just stop being so resistant, Inuyasha. After all, like it or not your body will be thoroughly pleasured, as well as tortured, before your death," Inuyasha gasped as he felt Jakotsu's tongue licking his ear, but soon enough he turned that gasp into a threatening growl, only to hear the corpse's soft, cold laughter.

The dog-demon-gone-human tried to arch his back away from Jakotsu as the other began to kiss and lick up his back while removing the rest of his shirt, but unfortunately, Inuyasha couldn't see a thing now that the shirt was over his head, the top of the shirt being tied shut before his eyes and the feeling of his sleeves being tied around his wrists in front of him combining with that of Jakotsu's licking. Damn, he was helpless! There was nothing he could do to stop Jakotsu; he was only a human so the other could easily overpower him, he didn't even have the Tetsusaiga to protect himself with...

A sharp pain went through his system, and he could feel his eyes widening to the limit as a strained cry tore savagely from his throat, showing that he had tried but failed to suppress that noise, and that in turn only caused Jakotsu to chuckle again, "Does that hurt, Inuyasha? I'd warn you, but...I know you like the pain," Feeling the deadened, wet muscle lap at his back where Jakotsu had used his sword, Inuyasha struggled, wanting to see some sort of light, to free his hands, and then to rip this bastard to shreds!

"Stop..." Inuyasha finally moaned out the plea, this was too much for him to take, and because of that he couldn't help but silently curse his mortal body. It would have been better to be purified than to have to go through this...he was exposed, and weakened, not to mention restrained and in the clutches of the queer who wanted to rape him, "Get off...stop...don't..."

"You think petty words are going to stop me?" Jakotsu was giggling, Inuyasha could hear it through the cloth. Oh, that bastard made him sick... "You're positively adorable, thinking that would work! I'm glad I took you now...it's a shame that attractive monk is gone, I could have had him in here, enjoying this with you."

"I'm not...not enjoying this..." Growled Inuyasha into the cloth, the air was begging to get really stuffy in there, not to mention the uncomfortable feeling of his own hair in his face while Jakotsu, apparently, had begun to massage his sides, "Get off...I'm gonna send you to hell, get off..."

"Aw, can't breathe, Inuyasha?" Jakotsu was using a baby voice now, which once again caused Inuyasha to growl and struggle against him, though he was a bit surprised to see the light of the torch Jakotsu had planted in the ground again, "I guess I can untie you so you can breathe; your wrists are still nice and safe, plus now I can feel that lovely black hair of yours."

Honestly, Inuyasha would have preferred to be blind-folded if he knew that the dead fingers running through his hair would be so uncomfortable, not to mention Jakotsu's licking his ear. At least he was leaving his sides alone for the moment; he was ticklish and had squirmed when Jakotsu had touched him there... "Damn you, get off of me!"

Valiantly did Inuyasha thrash against the other, but he was pinned down the moment Jakotsu pressed his hand against the other's neck and shoved it to the ground, forcing his head to tilt forward. It felt like his neck was about to rip off... "And if I don't get off, Inuyasha?" Breath that reminded him of a freezing wind made Inuyasha shudder as the words touched his human ear, another piercing pain in his back going through his system (although this time Inuyasha managed not to cry out), "There's nothing you can do, why do you still fight? You're very interesting, you know..."

No... Inuyasha felt his eyes widen as he felt the sword pin him down around his waist, cutting into it slightly while he could feel the lower fabrics being pulled down, Jakotsu kissing at the newly exposed flesh as he did so slowly, This can't be happening...damn it, someone help me! Kouga...Kouga, where are you?

After running through miles of woodland, Kouga felt hope swell in his chest as he finally reached Mount Hakure once more, the battle site where he fought that damned Rinkotsu and nearly got himself killed doing it. As far as he knew, the bastard was dead, and that's all he needed to know. Right now, he needed to get to Inuyasha as fast as he could, or it might be too late!

The wolf demon paused before the sacred barrier again, the thing that had nearly been his undoing the last time he was here. Would that priestess's necklace actually work, with a sacred barrier of this magnitude? After all, the priestess was powerful and all, but this thing was large scale, not to mention substantially more powerful. However, the thought of Inuyasha being carried off by Jakotsu shoved all doubt aside, and with great confidence (as well as no trouble at all) did he finally step through the barrier.

Furiously did Kouga search through the mountain, a sickening feeling in his stomach about it being too late to get Inuyasha out of there unharmed, but something else told him that Inuyasha was still alive. With his latter thought in mind, Kouga ran as quickly as he could force himself and then some to find Inuyasha, and although his legs began to throb in pain and his throat was begging for some rest from his ragged breathing, he forced himself to keep going.

However, something he heard made him stop entirely. A loud scream had caught his ears, and he could tell by the tone of the voice that was screaming, it could only be...

"Inuyasha," Whispering the name under his breath, the wolf demon took a new course, and as the screams became louder and more frequent, he urged himself to go even faster. Hold on Inuyasha, I'm comin' for you. His determined thoughts kept him going, and soon enough, when he could see the entrance to a cave that was torch-lit among the many black in the moonlight, he could hear these two fatal words;

"Die, Inuyasha."

"Don't you touch him, you damned queer!" Kouga shouted, pouncing on Jakotsu's back and pinning him to the ground, his eyes scanning around the small cave until they rested on Inuyasha. Purely in shock, Kouga allowed the whisper to slide from his lips, "What the hell did he do to you...?"

The hanyou was a mess, curled up in a ball on the ground and seeming very weak, not to mention he was in his human form. The sacred barrier probably did that, he almost forgot what had happened the last time. But the rest...it made Kouga feel both guilty and angry. Not only at Jakotsu, but at himself for not getting there in time to prevent it. He had cuts all over him, especially around his ankles, and the ones around his ankles were still dripping blood. And...was that...Kouga's stomach turned at the thought of what that dried, white liquid was.

"You bastard...I'm gonna tear your throat out!" Kouga hissed, mustering up as much hatred as he could while looking down on the pinned Jakotsu, "You hurt him...you're gonna pay, you walking, demented corpse!"

"Do what you like now, I've achieved my goal," Jakotsu sighed, sounding almost happy, which made Kouga feel puzzled as the other continued, "I've stolen Inuyasha's virginity. I could care less if he lives or dies now, I've gotten what was most precious. I can live in peace."

So...Kouga's suspicions were right. Furiously, he shot his right hand down into Jakotsu's throat, viciously ripping out a few tubes he probably needed to survive as well as his shards of the Shikon no Tama. After seeing Jakotsu's body twitch and fall still, Kouga stood back up and kneeled in front of the weakened Inuyasha, untying his hands and tossing the shirt aside, "Hey there, mutt-face. You gonna be okay?"

"I...Kouga..." Inuyasha started, weakly sitting up in front of Kouga. Before the wolf demon could force Inuyasha back down however, he felt surprise flow through him as the mortal clung onto him, feeling even more shocked when he felt tears against his shoulder, "Damn you, you took long enough...I thought I was gonna die, damn it!"

Kouga sighed after a few seconds before wrapping his arms around the naked form of Inuyasha, lowering his face to whisper into the human ear before him, "You're safe now, and you have my word as the leader of the wolf demon tribe, and as someone who loves you beyond any other worldly possession, that I'll never let anything like that happen to you again. I can promise you that."

Kouga felt a small smile tug at his lips as he saw the mane of ebony before him nod, right before he grabbed the other's pants and helped him slip them on, "Come on, let's get you back to the village. You've had a rough night, the very least you deserve is some rest," And with that, he grabbed the shirt he had discarded and put it on the mortal before lifting Inuyasha up into his arms as one would carry their mate. But, isn't that what Inuyasha was to him?

"K-Kouga..." Kouga's ears perked at Inuyasha's voice, and he turned his gaze to the man in his arms, trying to seem as comforting as possible. However, he couldn't hide his shock for the world after the next thing that Inuyasha said, "I...You know I...love..." Kouga was feeling warm inside, but he shook his head to hush Inuyasha. He didn't need the human he was holding to strain himself by finishing the sentence.

"I know, Inuyasha. And I love you, too."
