"You waste your time trying to hold her down when you should flee for your life wolf!" The voice of Jakotsu ripped through the night air, followed swiftly by the lethal sting of his blade, narrowly scrapping the arm of the wolf and smashing into the nearby wall of the cave behind him, sending rocks flying. "Next time, it's your heart!"
Kouga pulled the girl up slowly smiling trailing one claw across her throat a crimson elixer rolling down.
"You'd rather kill your own mate than to allow her to have Inuyasha's child? So be it, if she dies, I leave and you live with the pain that you have ended your love's life by your own hand," came the voice of Jakotsu, a slight smirk of his own coming across his lips as he played on the emotional strains the wolf must have been dealing with if he truly loved the girl.
"...The stress is so wonderful fo ra pregnate woman... the child will die off." The wound grows deeper. "...She will be slain either way..."
Charging forward once more, Jakotsu lifts his blade over head, "She will not die by my hand, you on the other hand will not be so lucky." His shear anger had driven him far beyond his breaking point, he now ran on blind rage, his fury no longer bottled up and kept in his cool head, but instead overflowing and creating mass destruction through the use of his blade as wolf after wolf drops dead in his wake.
He pushed her against Jakotsu toward his blade as he took off in whirlwind blowing dust around despering from sight. "...Yo ucan have that mutt's child I will be back for her..."
His blade quickly retracts, his hand moving to sheathe it before his arms reach out to catch the falling girl. "Tuck tail and run for your life wolf, this will not be the last time we meet I feel, next time you will not be so lucky!"
She looked to him weakly blood still rolling down her lips. "...I'm sorry jakotsu-kun... " She spoke barely above a whisper as she struggled moving her hands to her stomach tears rolling down.
"They came when we were away, there was nothing you could do. Let's get back to the band before they decide to come looking for us... I have a feeling we don't want Bankotsu coming to look for us..."
She nodded sadly. "...I can't walk can you carry me... Jakotsu-kun...?"
His eyes shifting around at the dead wolves, he slowly nods. "I don't think we have to worry about any of them following us and attacking while my arms are full... Don't get used to this though."
She nodded looking up to him. "...I'm sorry that I caused you so much trouble... I never ment for this to happen..."
"Noone's to blame but that damn, coward wolf so just stop talking and rest. You gotta stay calm and rest to alleviate stress from the wound." His arms lifted the girl against himself, his form beginning to head back down the cliff towards the forest, and back to camp.
She cuddled close to him blood rolling dripping to the ground from her neck.
His eyes turned down on her as they walked through the silent woods, filled with the rampant destruction he'd left behind on his way to the mountain. She was very light to him, but her movement to get closer was slightly disturbing. "Stop moving so much and rest will ya, the child must live..."
She closed her eyes nodding. "...I'm sorry Jakotsu-kun..."
After several long minutes of silence, the two would arrive at the restored camp, the rest of the band quickly shifting their eyes to their final member who'd been gone during the rebuilding. "Stupid wolves! I told you she didn't do it herself Bankotsu!"
"She attracted the wolves Jakotsu." He stood slowly walking toward her. "Because of her tommorrow we are moving she let our hide out be discovered and she will not slow us down tommorrow."
"She is coming with us... I don't think we will need to worry about the wolves for some time to come." A smirk slid over his lips as he began to walk towards his tent away from the others, "Their leader is the last of them left."
He nodded lightly watching him as he walked back to his seat by the fire.
Exhausted from the chase and the battle that followed, Jakotsu entered his tent and laid the girl to rest on her mat before moving to his own and curling up on it. "Sleep tonight, we move tomorrow..."
"...Jakotsu-kun...?" She sat up weakly looking down to him.
"What is it..." he inquired as he looked up at the girl, his body on the mat face up so that he could easily roll his head to one side and look at her.
"...Can you help me wrap the wound Kouga-kun gave me...?"
"You sure you want it wrapped? It's on your throat, you're not afraid of getting choked?" His hands slowly reached over for a small strip of cloth, "How about we just cover it with something and you sleep on your back?"
She nodded lightly. "...It just hadn't stopped I wouldn't have bothered you if it had."
"Lay down and we'll press this over it lightly... don't want anything to tight or it may stress you." As she moved to lay back down, he'd roll onto his side and lay the strip of cloth across her throat, wiping away some of the blood before pressing the cloth flat softly.
She lay silent as he proceded to treat her, her brown orbs looking into his.
After finishing up with the cleaning of her wound and pressing the cloth to it, he looked up and caught her eyes looking at his own. Slowly he shifted his weight back towards his mat, though he held her gaze as he did, "Rest... tomorrow may be a long day..."
She nodded lightly. "I will help the band."
Jakotsu nodded his head slowly as he rolled onto his back, breaking the gaze with her. "Bankotsu will make sure of that... he will not be easy on anyone when it's time to move... I'll do what I can to ease your burden for the child's sake..."
She nodded lightly. "...Jakotsu-kun I'm glad you got back what belongs to you..."
"I would not have it any other way... now rest girl, the morning will come early, the move even earlier... You will need your strength..." With that said, he slowly closes his eyes, rolling onto his side, his back turned to her in preperation to sleep.
She moved slowly to him carful not upset the bandage her head resting on his back. "...The child needs his or her father close."
