Hear My Cry/ Chapter 5/ Never Again

He kept looking at me searching for an answer I would not give. I could feel his amber eyes, trying to bore holes into the back of my head. I did not care for this man, I did not care for his infatuation with Kikyou, or the effect he had on my body. I swear to Ami I would have my revenge. Finally I heard a sigh, he was giving up for the moment, but how long I did not know. I was excited as ever to get out of the demon's grasp, his body was to close to mine for me to keep my sanity. For all the men in the world my demon side had to like HIM! Then I thought about it for a second, WHEN IN THE HELL HAD MY DEMON SIDE FALLEN FOR HIM!

I heard the flea leave the tent a head of us. I was glad for the distraction, but I to wonder silently if he knew his words had greater meaning than he intended, but how in the hell did I know what he intended. Today was really pissing me off." Come on" his voice whispered in my ear, as he began to follow the flea demon. I saw him make one quick longing glance at the despicable woman lying on the futon, before we left. I did not dare say a word to him, I had already given up to much today, for if it were my idea the bitch back there would be minus a throat.

"Inuyasha" his brother with the dark hair came riding up on a dun gelding.

"What is it Miroku?' Inuyasha asked clearly wanting me as far away as he could get me at the moment, and his brother was prolonging his pain.

"We have recaptured the others, is she..." Miroku's deep voice began to drift off.

"Kikyou is fine, did one of them give you that bruise on your forehead?" Inuyasha asked genuinly concerned. Morocco merely nodded, and turned his horse around.

"If you need any help let me know, I am going to help the others finish packing up camp" Inuyasha nodded, as his brother rode off. He turned to look at me but all the feeling left my body, they had been recaptured and it was all my fault. I was so caught up in my revenge that I had totally forgotten about them. When I finally came out of my daze I was shackeld behind two war horses, I think the English called them Clydesdales. The others right beside me.

I looked at their faces, but they ignored me. They had small cuts, and large gashes every where, blood smeared the clothes some wasn't their own. "I am so sorry I don't know what got into me" I said trying to look into their eyes, trying to tell them how truly sorry I was, but they still ignored me, not a one of them looked into my face. I sighed I had really screwed up this time.

An hour passed, as horses were saddled, belonging were gathered up, and breakfast was eaten. I was starving, I hadn't eaten for a while, and even the garbage they were eating look like a cuisine from here. I sighed I hadn't eaten anything in days, and maybe even weeks. My stomach was agreeing with me , and it wasn't just my stomach that was making noise.

Finally Inutashio rode up and down the line making sure everything was loaded away, and everyone was ready, taking extra time to check on our chains. His pearl white stallion moving with such grace that reminded me sorely of Kurama "Men are you ready?" His clear deep voice finally sounded. Shouts and cheers were sounded around us. "MOVE OUT!" came one last command and the line began to move.

Minutes turned to hours as we walked, our steps becomeing slower and slower as the day drew on. Every hour or so, one of the son's would take their position beside us to make sure we were going no where. I wondered why he cared so much today when he didn't the other day .

To my announce it was Inuyasha's turn. He kept looking at me the desire to ask the question he had asked before was thick in the air. I did not concentrate on him at the moment, but on the women beside me. I had done them wrong, and the way they were acting now I douted if there were to ever forgive me. Once again Inuyasha gave up his time to watch over us gone, he went back to the front of the line, a breather released from me that I had no idea I was holding. For the moment we were alone.

"I said I was sorry, what else can I do to make it up to you?'' I asked sincerely.

"Kagome , you left us their to fight them off my ourselves, I hate Kikyou for what she has done as much as you do , BUT I WOULD NEVER RUN OUT ON A FRIEND LIKE THAT! What would have happened if we would have died? I used to think so highly of you, but now you are a disgrace to us all." Sango replied venom dropping from her every word. I couldn't believe it, but when I looked into her eyes they were a flame in furry, and betrayal.

She looked away, from me. Once again I had hurt the ones who had tried nothing but to help me. I could feel my heart shatter into a million pieces. I now knew what it truly was like to be absolutely a lone. When Kieada and the village died I had Kurama, when Kurama died, I had my pack well what was left of it, and now I had nothing, and it was my fault.

I looked down, squinting my ears, to try in stop the tears, that were beginning to feel my eyes. I did not look up, I just kept moving, moving to a beat that didn't seem to have an end nor a beginning. My calloused feet began to bleed slightly but steel, I did not change the beat that it itself never changed..

xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Inu's POV

"Father what are we going to do with the girl?" Sesshomaru's casual voice demanded.

"I do not know yet son" Inutashio softly replied, I could tell my father had been thinking about this himself. His face was covered with worry lines, making him look older than he had in ages. One look in his eyes could tell you something big was troubling him.

"Well it would be stupid to keep her chained up knowing she could excape or someone could steal her. Two you can not let her roam freely when you know as well as any . When she has the chance for freedom she will take it. That only leaves a cell" Miroku spoke the obvious as always. I hated my brother for doing this. We all knew this, but something told us we would pay dearly for it later.

I sighed Koga had taken his post with the women. The only thing that was on my mind though was Myoga's words "She must have a reason for hating Kikyou so dearly. Why don't you try and ask her?" I had tried, well once but I had still tried.

Thank Kami we would be home by late afternoon, and I can stay by Kikyou's side, until she awakes and we can sort this mess out, it must just be a mistake. I had to keep telling myself that I had to keep believing that. I just had to.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxBack to Kag

My feet ached and my legs were numb. We had traveled without a break since morning. Even the horses were beginning to tire, sweat gleamed at the side, foam at their mouths, their heads drooped in exhaustion, but we plunged on. I had yet to look up, or look any where but at my feet.

I couldn't face them, for once I had the closest thing to friends I had in years right beside me, and in one fleeting moment had gone and destroyed it. Maybe Kami was wrong maybe I just wasn't the one who to defeat Naraku. I mean I couldn't even kill Kikyou in her sleep what in the hell makes me think I had a chance at Naraku.

I winced in pain as my feet steeped in a briar patch in the road, thorns embedded themselves in the already raw flesh, but that was pushed aside as a cheer began at the start of the line, one that quickly consumed the entire force. The noise was loud and ear shattering making my ears go flat a pon my head. I looked up, and saw it, saw what I had run from my entire life, saw what I had saved others from, saw the place that had set the deep scars in my back.

In the distance stood a glorious castle, its gray brick stood perfectly in the background. Its richly designed flags of a white dog holding a silver heart the traditional symbol of the Eastern Lands. A prospering village surrounded it, from here you could already see the tiny dots in the fields of the men and women tending to their crops. How could something so beautiful cause me so much pain, but it did

I could feel my legs begin to tremble, old fear reawakened inside of me and I stopped. This wasn't going to happen not again. The horses snorted in frustration, their hooves pawing the Earth wanting to continue on with the rest of the group.

Inutashio's son looked at me, somehow in his crystal colored eyes something told me that he expected nothing less of me whether that was good or bad I did not know. "Father!' he shouted, and I could not stop the viscous growl in my throat. Soon both Inutashio and Inuyasha rode up. I snarled at both of them, and braced me feet deeper into the ground. If they were planning on taking me back it sure as fuck wasn't going to be without a fight.

As the group around us began to grow, I knew if I planned on getting all of us to safety it had to be now. If I could really think at this moment though I would have used my fire, but with my heart beating at fifteen times per second, blood was flowing to fast in my head to comprehend anything.

"Please do not do this" Inuyasha pleaded.

"Screw You!" I yelled at him. I looked at the others seeing if they had my back on this one. They didn't even look at me. I sighed, I would pull them to safety if I had to. Then the most sensible thing came to mind, something That had helped me before. I felt the heat in my palms as two fireballs grew. I snarled at one of the men who had gotten braver than the others.

I hurtled the fireballs into Rin and Ayame's chains, they fell to the ground. "GO!" I yelled at them. Without another moments haste they broke through the circling men and ran. I through one more fireball at Sango's chains, finally she gave me a look, of thanks and ran after the others.

"Go after them now!" came Inutashio's order. The men finally coming to their sense, chased after them in pursuit. While the attention was drawn off myself, I grasped my own chains, knowing that my ...friends would need help. It finally hit me they were my friends, they had been with me for over four years. No matter what they stayed by my side. I've been afraid of having friends since the accident, but here I was with three. I smiled and we were a force to reckon with.

I snarled as the chains dropped to the Earthen floor. Inutashio and his sons looked at me for the first time remembering I was there. I smiled , my fangs protruding from my bottom lip. A scream from down in the valley got my attention. It was Adam's they must have caught up with them, I had not a second to lose.

Again I thanked my grandfather for inheriting his demon speed, as my legs ate away the distance, that my friends had traveled. The sound oh horses behind me made my adrenaline rush through my veins. The grass and undergrowth became a massive green blur in my vision as my speed grew faster. Their scent becoming ever warmer.

Then I saw them fighting off about fifteen of Inutashio's men. They had swords were the girls were weaponless. It was as if it were in slow motion, I tried to sprint for her, but I was not quick enough. A sword ripped through Sango's abdomen, causing her to scream a heart stopping scream. My blood ran cold and my bleeding feet stood paralyzed to the ground, as I saw her eyes grow dim.A snarl ripped through my chest, one that I had not even thought was possible, every one stopped and looked towards me.

I lunged at the ass whose sword was stained with her blood, my eyes turning from bloody red, to the color of a fiery inferno. I felt Sesshomaru's whip rap around my waist, its thorns piercing my skin, but he was to late. I brought my clawed hand down with the hate of men that had just doubled itself in the matter of minutes. That was the last thing he saw as his body fell limply to the ground.Sesshomaru's whip yanked my down onto my knees. the thorns digging deeper into my skin.

I howled in anger as I quickly sliced it in half. Regaing my balance I rushed over to Sango, but before I could reach her his whip reattached itself to my waiste. I kept pulling. "Sango "I whispered. She looked at me you could see her sole starting to drift from her eyes. Before I knew it hot liquid began to drip down my cheeks, I pulled her head into my lap, not caring who was watching.

"Oh Sango I am so sorry. Don't leave me. Please, Please do not leave me." I kept whispering to her Rin and Ayame crawled towards us, tears staining their cheeks. I held on to her cradling her head, and whispering to her. "Sango you remember when you found me?" I was twelve and had fallen down a mountain side after freeing those girls remember. You snuck mmee awayyyy...fr...from them, and kept me ...safe...The next morning when I tried sneak...sn...sneaking away you tol..told me no... matter what you would...follow mee...and never leave me. Sango please don't leave us . I need you" I cried, as she smiled a weak smile at me.

Thunder boomed above us, rain began to beat at our side but I did not move. I sat their crying against her dying form. I could not do this without her. She had been their for me, she was my first friend, she saved my life. Another whip grabbed my throat dragging me back away from Sango. I pulled against it my hands scratching at the Earth as yet one more grabbed my leg."Let me see her, Don't make me leave her . Please! Please !" I begged tears mixing with rain covered my cheek and dripped down my chin.

I turned around preparing to launch a fireball. When the one called Miroku through sutras at my palms. Electricity traveled through my body, making me shout out in pain. I fell to my knees all strength leaving my body. I began to cry harder, not having enough energy to even say her name again. I looked as Ayame and Rin were dragged away as well, and Sango was left by her self. Some how finding an once of strength I spoke" Please don't let her die , not here" before my body fell to the ground.

The one called Miroku nodded, dismounted, and ran over to Sang. I cried harder and harder, seeing her body completely limp in his arms. My body began to shake uncontrollably. Sobs racked my sides. I felt Inutashio's arms wrap around me as he lifted me on to his horse." Koga my horse is quicker than yours take her to the castle hurry." I felt a body press against mine, and the horse start galloping away.

"I am sorry"the words came out of my lips, before I entered darkness

xxxxxxxxxxxxx 1 day later

My body was cold, and trembling. I did not want to open my eyes, but it was inevitable. I gasped in shock as I looked around I was in a caged cell identical to the one I was in as a child, except I was the only one there. My eyes began to burn as the memorys rushed back through me.

Tucking my legs under my chin and my arms around my legs, I began to cry. Here I was years later. A completely failure to my father, a disgrace to my pack, and all alone. I could not stop the flow of tears. " You have to eat" came a voice I looked up, even through my blurred vision I could see Inuyasha set a tray of food on the ground.

I turned around not caring, I did not deserve to eat, only thing I did deserve was to die.
