Chapter 6: Never Again

Sango tried screaming, but the gag in her mouth was making it impossible for anything but a muffled sound to escape. 'This is not happening...' She thought as she once again looked to InuYasha. He was groaning, trying to wake himself up. 'Hurry InuYasha...' The man kept putting the knife over her stomach. "You're going to be fun to ravish, and then cut up into little pieces..." The man hovering over her said with a sadistic smile.

She closed her eyes and willed someone to help her...anyone...but no one was coming. She tried to free her hands, but the ropes weren't giving.

With Sesshoumaru and Kouga

"Hey did you hear that?" Sesshoumaru whispered to Kouga who nodded. They had heard faint, muffled cries from the room at the end of the hall. They crept to stand by the door and listened. More cries, and then...they heard a mans voice say that he was going to have fun doing things to what they could only think was Sango... Panicking, they went to stand in front of the door. They nodded to each other.

With Ayame and Miroku

"Hey, Ayame...Kagura's coming to!" Miroku called to her as she was standing outside, waiting for any signs of the police and other emergency crews that were supposed to be on their way. Ayame rushed to his side, and indeed she was beginning to wake up. "Can you watch her while I take a look at Kagome?" He asked, and she nodded.

He made his way to Kagome and couldn't help but think what would have happened, if they had not gotten the girls out of there when they did. He had found some water earlier and tried to wash as much blood off of her as he could. He wasn't a doctor, and he didn't need to be one to know that she was in bad shape. His heart clenched as he took a hold of her hand. She was becoming fevered. If the Ambulance didn't get there fast...well, he really didn't want to think about it. "Hang on, babe..." He whispered...and kissed her forehead.

He looked over to Ayame and Kagura, who looked like she was dazed, and didn't know where she was. Then, in the corner of his eye he saw flashing lights...He let out a relieved breath and told Ayame to look. "Thank God...the guys have been gone for almost 45 minutes..." She said and silently prayed for her friends to be alright. 'Help is on it's way...hang on a little more...' She tried to tell them.

With Sango and InuYasha

Sango was surprised when she had managed to loosen one of her hands. She pulled with all her might and her fist soon found the man's face, who didn't even see it coming. He staggered backwards and was hit in the back of the head with a door that had been kicked open with some force by Sesshoumaru and Kouga. It knocked him unconscious and he slumped to the floor. Before the two other men knew what was happening the guys were beating them senseless.

When they came to their senses they looked around and saw a groggy InuYasha and a half naked Sango. She was doing her best to try and cover herself up and untie her other hand. Sesshoumaru rushed over to Sango while Kouga helped get InuYasha free. "Sango...are you alright...?" Sesshoumaru asked her after taking the gag out of her mouth. "Yeah...where is everyone else...Are they okay?" She asked concerned for her friends.

"There trying to get a hold of the police...I don't know if they have or not...though." He smiled at her and took off his shirt for her to put on. "How's InuYasha...?" She asked and ran over to him. He was still coming to, and really didn't know what was happening. "Hey InuYasha..." Sango said soothingly. He grunted and squinted his eyes. "Sango!" He screamed and was abruptly wide awake. Sango hugged him trying to calm him. "Shhh...it's alright...everything's okay now..." She said as she stroked his long silver hair.

"Come on...we need to get out of here..." Sesshoumaru told them seriously. When he didn't receive an answer he saw that InuYasha had no intention of letting Sango go from the big hug they shared. "InuYasha...I promise...nothing happened..." Sango tried her best to get out of the hug. She needed to do something...

With Miroku, Ayame, Kagura and Kagome

"There here, Miroku!" Ayame called as she ran up to meet the Ambulance. She began explaining what had happened, and they were soon by Kagome's side trying to wake her. Kagura complained that she was fine while they were shining flashlights into her eyes. Miroku prayed for Kagome to wake up...he looked at her pale face and prayed harder. His prayers were soon answered because she began to stir, and slowly wake up.

He pushed all the EMT's out of the way and began smothering her with kisses and hugs...

With Sango, InuYasha, Sesshoumaru and Kouga

"Listen InuYasha...I'm fine..." Sango smiled at him and gave him a kiss on the cheek. He responded by letting her go a little more. "Can I ask for you three to leave me alone for a second..." She asked them quietly. InuYasha protested, but was soon lead out of the room by his brother. "We'll be right outside..." Kouga told her.

Sango walked up to the unconscious man that had tried to rape her. With cold emotion she picked up the shotgun, long since discarded. She cocked it making sure there was one shell inside. She stood over the man... She was going to make sure that he would never again do what he tried to do to her. She aimed and shot him point blank in the crotch. At that point the others rushed in to see what was happening. They saw Sango put the gun down gently and walk right past them, headed for the front door. They quickly followed her, but didn't say anything...he deserved what he got...

With the Others

"What was that?" One of the officers asked. "It sounded like a shotgun..." Another suggested. Five officers began running towards the house where the shot came from. When they arrived they saw four people come out of the house...exhausted, dirty, and ready to get away from that place...
