chp 19
Inuyasha felt the tears still flow, breathing in Kagome's soft scent. He felt shivers run down his body, the pain echoing throughout his body. He stroked Kagome's hair, wrapping his long arms around her small frame. He rested his cheek against the top of her head, breathing in her soft scent...
But then his worst nightmare came into play...
Human blood...lots of it...
His eyes shot open, and he ran to the window, grabbing his sword that was leaned against the window. Kagome reached her hand out halfway, and sort of let it hand in midair as he soared out the window, somehow already changed...
She felt so alone...but what was she to do?
She fell to the ground and sobbed into her arms...
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Inuyasha ran as fast as he could, his pain mixed in with adrenaline. It was like oil and water, they just didn't mix. He soared over the roof tops, running at top speeds. They stench of blood was thick in the air, like a mass slaughtering...
He prayed he was wrong.
He came into the city's main square. Red splashes were scattered randonly on the street and sidewalk. There were bodies all over, with faces frozen in terror, with eyes rolled back, mouths still screaming silently. His body shook with fear and anger at this mass slaughter. His eyes scanned for the culpret...
"SHOW YOURSELF!"
His ears were met with a slight chuckling. He turned to see a man with a dress and makeup on. A huge sword was shouldered next to his neck. He licked blood off his fingers...
"You are cute! Look at those ears, I could just eat you up!"
He cooed like a grandma did to a grandchild. Inuyasha jumped at him, swinging the Tetsusaiga at him. The man laughed and threw the sword down like a whip. It coiled around and smacked him right int he jaw, sending him backwards on his feet. He groaned and whipped blood from the cut on his face. It wasn't deep, just a shallow wound, but it still hurt...
"MMMM! Your blood is tasty, I bet you are..."
He whipped his sword around again, and Inuyasha tried to block it with the Tetsusaiga. But it spiraled around, wrapping itself around the blade, slashing Inuyasha across the chest. He whinced and squeezed his eyes shut from the pain. Jyakotsu smiled, his eyes wide with pleasure from his pain...
"I could cut you up, and wear you! You are just absolutely adorable!"
Inuyasha yelled a whooping battle cry, and slashed down the Tetsusaiga against Jyakotsu's sword. He ground his teeth, and pushed harder against the constantly twisiting mass. He felt himself began to pour out sweat, and his face burned with the tension. He looked at Jyakotsu, who giggled through a mask...
He realized what was happening too late...
He held an arm up to his nose and mouth, and jumped up over the rolling smoke. He saw a small figure within the fog of poison. It shook with laughter, jostling around like an evil midget. He glared, hating these people for what they did. Killing all these people, just to hurt him. Hurting him worse because of his circumstance...
It made his blood boil...
"I am the poison maker Mukotsu. Prepare for the excruciating pain that will come to you from my newest concoction."
His lower half of his face was covered by a white mask, but he could imagine the bitter laugh behind it. He felt his breathing begin to become staggard, and watched as these two continued to laugh it up. Inuyasha groaned, and tried to find any kind of demonic power to help create a Wind Scar. He couldn't sense anything...
He was going to die if he didn't figure out something soon. He felt the poison creep through his veins, closing in on his heart, daring him to die or not. He felt his legs begin to give, and his stomach began to churn. His eyesight was already blurry, and his face was hot with fever.
"First you will become weak with sickness, then one by one your bodily functions will shut down, and finally your lungs will give. But not your heart. You will be in agony for at least an hour before you die. Naraku wanted you to suffer as long as possible. Unfortunately, this was the slowest poison I have, I'm sure you're grateful to have one hour. Of course, you'll probably think you'll find the antidote..."
He watched the midget man with wide eyes...
"Yes see, antidote," He held up a little vial," I always keep a spare when I get into the action myself, just in case."
Inuyasha jumped up, attacking the small man. He ripped the lid off a babmoo container, and black smoke whooshed out and attacked his flesh. He felt it begin to eat away at his suit, the heat burning him with invisible flames. He almost jumped back...almost...
But this pain was a small price to pay for the antidote. He reached out, and grabbed the vial from the bitty hands of the poison maker. He rolled to the ground. He heard the small roar of the poison maker...
"Jyakotsu! Hurry, kill him before he drinks it!"
In one swig, Inuyasha drank the vile. He smiled at Mukotsu, who's face was red with the embarassment of his failed attack. Inuyasha saw the white of the gleaming sword whip around to slash him again. But he was quick in action, and shot it back with the Tetsusaiga. He glared at Mukotsu for calling Jyakotsu to his rescue...
"You little asshole!"
The little man grabbed another bamboo shoot, this time a green fog slowly creeped out. But Inuaysha jumped above him, and landed away fromt he fog. He grinned, and with one slash Inuyasha cut through the midget. Just like Kyokotsu, he disinagrated into dust...
"Well I got to go Silver-beary! I'll see you again soon!"
He disappeared in a blink of an eye, probably with the help of Naraku. Inuyasha groaned from his burns, the damn poison being a cloud of acid, not really poison at all. His suit held up pretty well against that stuff, his arms were hardly singed. He was thankful to Sesshoumaru for giving him such powerful armor...
Finally after a few moments, his initial concern, Kagome, ripped through his heart. He hurridly returned to her, to hold her in his arms. After a few minuted of running, he reached her apartment. He told her of the mass slaughtering, and told her to get the phone.
"Police..."
She nodded, and handed him the phone. He held her in his lap as he talked to the operator. Finally the converstaion was done, and he held his beloved Kagome once more. He reached down, and kissed her cheek. She looked up at him, trying to get his attention.
"I have to go to the neurologist..."
"I'll come with you, k?"
"I love you..."
"I love you so much more..."

"YOU LET HIM DIE!"
Bankotsu screamed at Jyakotsu, another member of their team gone now.
"Well it wasn't my fault, he let his guard down! Plus Silver Scar was ssoooooooooooo amazingly cute. Oh! If you could of seen him, Bani, You would understand.."
"SHUT UP! You let him die! We look out for one another, we're brothers!"
"Look, he's dead, what do you want me to do about it?"
"Nothing...forget it..."
He ran his fingers through his hair, staring at the ground.
"Go get Renkotsu, and go practice..."
He shrugged and walked out of the room. Bankotsu sighed and tossed himself on the nearby bed. His heart went out to Mukotsu, even if he was a creepy little bug of a man...
He sighed, unable to conjure up any real compassion.

"Come in..."
The door creaked open, and shinning jade eyes peered in at him.
"Oh its you..."
She pushed open the door, and spun around, carring a tray of food for him..
"Master Naraku told me to entertain you for the night while he tended to his...personal buissness..."
"He's on a sex rampage?"
"He's out of control..."
He set the tray down on his lap, and sat next to him,"Eat..."
He shrugged and began to slurp at the noodles and rice. He offered her some, but she had already eaten...
"He's going to drink himself to death at this rate. Or sex himself out..."
"He's an idiot..." His sentence had somewhat of a hidden meaning,"Years back, before you were born or whatever, he was a human. He fell in love with a girl named Kikyo. But she was taken by this Inuyasha guy. One night, Inuyasha left her on the steps to go to her house, and didn't make sure she got safely inside. Naraku stole the chance to rape her, and then killed her for loving another and not him. The next day, he went on a sex rampage...and became what we know now. A sex driven, crazed half-demon who's street name is Black Raper..."
"I feel pitty for Kikyo..."
"You should...She wasn't one who deserved to die."
She was amazed at his words. He was supposed to be a ruthless murderer, and yet here he was...feeling pitty for a girl he didn't even know.
"How can you do this line of work? You are so kind-hearted..."
"I do it, because I feel like it! I'm not kind hearted, just happy. You're just a stupid naive little girl..."
"HEY! I am not! Take it back!"
"No..."
"TAKE IT BACK!"
She took his wrists and wrestled his to the ground. He smiled, tossing her onto her back with ease. He towered over her, as if daring her to fight back. She kneed him in the gut, and tried to hold him down...
But he immediately flipped her over, this time squeezing her thighs between his knees. She tried to wriggle out of his grasp, but only suceeded in ripping her dress...
He had such firm hold on her wrists that when she twisted to the left, she stretched the fabric. The sleeve of the kimono ripped at the seam. She gasped, and he scrambled off her.
"My kimono..."
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."
She looked at him and smiled,"Its ok, just an accident!"
"I'm sorry Midori..."
She gave a warm smile, and he was entranced. He had never seen her actually smile before...
The way her eyes seemed to illuminate her features, how her lips curved up in a joyous smile. The way her cheeks rose to half her eyes, she was truely beautiful...
"Bankotsu, why do you care? Its just a kimono..."
Why do I care?...
He stared at her, his lips in a sort of "o"...
"Because its your kimono.."
She blushed, and brought her hand up to her bottom lip, biting on the kimono sleeve. She dared to watch how his gray eyes sparkled, how they seemed to have nothing in them but her...
"Midori?"
"Yes..."
"I'll get you a new one!"
He smiled, making her heart flip. She gave a nervous smile...
"Thhh...Thats ok. I can sew this one up jjust fine..."
"Nah, I'd love to! You deserve one anyway, I know Naraku doesn't take care of you like he should..."
She smiled, feeling a warm emotion grow inside her...
"Ok..."
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
