Chapter 9: One wrong move and your dead

The guards quickly ran away from the gate and towards the castle to call Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru's Pov

He was in his study doing his paper work when there was a knock on the door. The door opened and two of his guards walked in and bowed their heads to their master.

"My lord there is a group outside the gates wanting to speak with you Milord."

"Tell them to go away."

"But my lord, they have Lady Rin with them."

"WHAT."

"Yes and…"

The guard wasn't able to say no more because Sesshomaru had left his study. He was running down the halls, running towards the gates. When he got there he saw the group his half- brother and his mate, the monk and slayer, the kit, Crystal and Rin in the arms of a wolf Youkai. What. Sesshomaru's beast became enraged; his beast demand that Crystal should be in his arms not that of the wolf.

Sesshomaru's thoughts

"How dare that wolf touch what is mine."

"Kill the wolf

"I can't at the moment."

"Why not?"

"Because Crystal is in the arms of the wolf, I don't want to hurt her or Rin."

"Good point."

"Of course."

"Well kill him later."

"When the time comes."

Normal Pov

Crystal watched as Sesshomaru was having an inner battle with him self, then he seemed to come back to reality then he noticed the burns on Rin and she could see that his eyes widen slightly even though no one noticed.

"What happened to her?"

"Rin was out in the forest alone and she was attack by a demon."

"She wasn't alone, she was with Jaken."

"I didn't see Jaken their, my bracelet called to me that's why I knew that Rin was in danger. Now let us in so we can attend to Rin."

"Come."

The group walked behind Sesshomaru into the castle Crystal tried many times to get out of Kouga's arms but the wolf demon wouldn't let her. Crystal knew by Sesshomaru's reaction that he didn't like her being in Kouga's arms one bit. They followed Sesshomaru in silence as they walked through the halls and into the medical wing. Sesshomaru was deep in thought and he was getting angrier by the second, by just thinking about Crystal in some one else's arms. They had reached a room and they walked in, Crystal looked up at Kouga.

"Kouga put me down."

"Crystal, you're not well enough to walk."

"I am able to walk just fine."

"You just finished battling a demon you must rest and save your strength."

"ENOUGH…can't you see that she wants to get out of your filthy arms and stand on her own."

"Whatever."

Kouga let Crystal out of his arms, Crystal walked over to the bed and she placed Rin down. She grabbed a few glasses of paste and began to clean so of the wounds and apply the pastes. The rest of the group watched and they were silent. Crystal was getting a little worried that Rin still hadn't woken up yet.

"Crystal when you are done I wish to speak with you." (Sesshomaru)

"Why?"

"It's important."

"Very well."

Sesshomaru then walked out of the room telling them that a servant would come and take them to their rooms in a while. After a while as he stated a servant came and took them to their rooms Crystal stayed behind and stayed with Rin for a while before she went to see Sesshomaru. Crystal was stroking Rin's hair and thinking when a moan brought her out of her thoughts. Crystal looked down at Rin and noticed that she was waking up. Rin opened her eyes and she looked at Crystal.

"Mommy?"

"Yes baby, I'm here."

Rin sat up quickly and hugged her mother, Crystal and Rin couldn't hold back their tears. They both cried for each other, when they pulled back Crystal wiped away Rin's tears and smiled.

"How are you feeling honey?"

"I'm ok I little sore, what happened?"

"A demon attacked you and I can to save you."

"Thank you."

"For what sweetie?"

"For coming back to me…you aren't going to leave me again are you?"

"No Rin I'm not."

"That's good."

"Now you young lady…time for you to rest."

"But I don't wanna."

"But you must mommy orders you too."

"Okay then…see you soon mommy?"

"Yup see you soon."

Crystal kissed Rin on the forehead and she walk out of the door. She walked down the halls wondering where she was going to look for Sesshomaru. She walked further through the halls and she found a servant, she approached the servant.

"Excuse me?"

"Yes Milady?"

"Ummm…I was wondering where would I find Sesshomaru?"

"Lord Sesshomaru would be in his study Milady."

"Thank you…do you mind telling me where it is?"

"Would you like me to take you Milady?"

"That would be great thank you ummm?"

"Suki, Milady."

"I'm Crystal…it's a pleasure to meet you Suki"

"You as well Lady Crystal."

The two girls smiled and they walked away towards Sesshomaru's Study. The two walked for about ten minutes through the many halls, stairs when they reached the room Suki knocked on the door and announced that Lady Crystal was there to see him. Crystal walked into the room and waited for Sesshomaru to speak with her, Sesshomaru looked over at Crystal.

"When will you be leaving?"

"Right after Rin is well enough to travel."

"What do you mean?"

"Well seeing that you aren't capable of keeping my daughter safe she is coming with me."

"WHAT?"

"You heard me."

"She isn't going any where with you."

"Oh and what are you going to do about it?"

"She isn't leaving."

"Whatever…why did you want to talk to me about?"

"Are you courting the wolf?"

"Who Kouga?"

"Yes!"

"Not that its any of your business but no I'm not."

"Good."

"Excuse me?"

"Nothing."

"My ass, nothing…tell me why is it good that I'm not?"

"Because your mine."

"Don't give me that "mine" shit…I'm not yours."

"Yes you are."

During the whole time that they were arguing they didn't noticed that they were slowing closing the space between each other. When they were inches apart, Sesshomaru looked at Crystal's rosy lips and he kissed her. Crystal was shocked at first but she began to respond immediately, Sesshomaru was happy that he got Crystal to respond to his touch.

Inuyasha and Kagome were sitting in their room resting. They had just finished making love and they were both tried extremely tried. They were both cuddled up with the blankets over them.

"Inuyasha?"

"Yea?"

"How much longer to you think it will take for us to kill Naraku and Nori?"

"I don't know?"

"What will happen if we fight and I'm carrying our child."

"You're stay behind with Shippo and let us fight."

"WHAT."

"Yes love I wouldn't risk losing you or our child."

"But Inuyasha…fighting Naraku and Nori was my destiny."

"I know…"

"I will not let my sister be the only one to fight this war."

"But she wouldn't be."

"No one but us could do the job…"

"How about this we deal with the problem when it comes up okay?"

"Alright then."

Yawn "I think I'll take a nap."

"Sounds like a good idea."

Naraku & Nori

"That bastard you sent to kill the girl…didn't do his job."

"Yea I know…and what's worst the Bitch knows it was me who sent Match to kill her daughter."

Nori growled at his younger brother

"Don't call Crystal a bitch."

"Why?"

"It doesn't matter."

"Oh I believe it does…"

"I need a queen and Crystal will be that Queen…when she gives birth to a son then I'll kill her…a child born of both powers will be unstoppable."

"We'll have a big battle ahead of us soon."

"I agree…Crystal and the others will be after us soon enough."

"Hop you planed you funeral?"

"It isn't me should be planning…you a hanyou and I'm a God."

"That will all change soon enough."

"Whatever."

Kouga had been looking for Crystal for a while now he had asked a few servants and they all had told him that she was talking with Sesshomaru. That was an hour ago now he was again looking a servant to tell him where she was. He rounded the counter and he saw a servant cleaning the floor he approached the girl and asked.

"Have you seen Lady Crystal?"

"Yes…she is out in the ground with Lady Kagome, Lady Sango and Little Shippo."

"Where are Sesshomaru, Miroku and Inuyasha?"

"Oh they are in the war room at the moment but they should be out in the garden soon for the afternoon tea."

"I see thank you."

"Your welcome."

The servant bowed and Kouga left and walked towards the garden, he needed to talk with Crystal before Sesshomaru decided to go after his "women". Kouga didn't need another dog to take away what was his again, No he wouldn't let that happen. Kouga walked out towards the garden when he was outside he could hear the girls voices and he walked quickly over to them. Kouga figured that he would only have a few minutes alone with Crystal before the guys came out for tea.

Kouga walked behind Crystal and he cleared his throat of course the three girls had sensed his aura the moment he walked outside. All three turned to face Kouga and waited for him to explain what he was doing there.

"Crystal I wish to speak with you."

"Not another one." Crystal thought

Kagome laughed at her sister knowing what she had just thought, Sango and Kouga looked questionably at Kagome. Kagome just smiled and shrugged it off, Crystal nodded at Kouga and the two walked off so they could talk. They walked over to the love pond and sat down. Kouga knee in front of Crystal and began to express everything that he wanted to say.

"Crystal I know that we haven't known each other for a long but I want to know if you will give me the honour of becoming my mate."

Kouga smirked because he knew that she wouldn't refuse because they were made for each other. Crystal looked over at Kouga and gave me a "I sorry look".

"Kouga…I'm faltered and all but I can't become your mate."

"WHY THE HELL NOT?"

Crystal was taken back by the sudden outburst from Kouga she expected he would be mad to not like that.

"Because Kouga I don't love you…I could never mate someone I didn't love."

"So you are going to be with the Dog Shit?"

"Don't call Sesshomaru that."

"Why not…that's what he is."

"Kouga I understand that you mad and all but you don't need to take it out on him okay he has nothing to do with this."

"Oh but your wrong Crystal he has everything to do with this…but that would matter soon you will belong to me no matter what…I wouldn't let another stupid dog to take what is mine."

Crystal looked at Kouga seeing that he had gone crazy with lust, jealously, possessives, stupidity, and the list went on and all. She pushed Kouga away from her and she ran away from him. That was a wrong move that she made because it made him even worst. He quickly got up and ran towards her and grabbed her and pinned her to the ground. He held her down and began to lick her neck. Crystal tried in vain to free herself and her powers at the moment decided to desert her. Crystal tried to scream but Kouga quickly cover her mouth with his.

Crystal's Mind Link

"Kagome?"

"Please God Kagome answer me?"

Sob "Kagome?"

"Crystal?"

"Kagome that God…Kagome get help…get Sesshomaru please."

"What's wrong?"

"Kouga's gone mad please help…I think he may rape me."

"Crystal."

"KAGOME HURRY."

"Right."

Kagome

Kagome wasted no time as she ran towards the war she prayed that she didn't get lost along the way because her sister life depend on it. As she was running she sensed her mate's aura and followed it then she sensed Sesshomaru's aura as well and knew that she was in the right place. About a second later Kagome stormed in the room and the occupants in the room looked up at her.

"Kagome what's wrong." said Inuyasha looking very concerned for his mate

"Crystal…"

"What about Crystal?" (Sesshomaru)

"Kouga…wanted to talk with her and now she's in trouble."

"WHERE IS SHE?"

"In the gardens near the love pond."

That all it took for Sesshomaru and he ran towards the love pond while the others followed suit. Sesshomaru quickly ran towards the spot when he got to the scene, Sango was knocked unconscious and she had cut all over her body Sesshomaru could only think that she tried to fight Kouga. He looked at the sight in front of him Kouga was on top of Crystal he was currently trying to remove her top while Crystal was trying to struggle for freedom.

Sesshomaru growled at the demon that was trying to violate what was his. Kouga looked up when he heard the growl and growl back at the demon. Sesshomaru noticed that his eyes were red but he didn't care Kouga was no longer going to be a problem to any one any more. Sesshomaru quickly ran over and pulled Kouga off of Crystal and threw him into a tree. Crystal saw this as her change to run but she was caught in an embrace with Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru brought his hand to her cheeks and wiped away the tears.

"Are you alright."

"Yes."

"Good go into the castle…I'll take care of this wolf."

"What are you going to do?"

"Kill him."

"…."

"Do you wish him to live?"

"I wish for him never to bother me again."

"But he sees you as his mate and will not leave you alone until he has you."

"I understand…do what you must…My Lord."

"Don't call that Bastard your lord you belong to me and no one else."

"Your wrong…you were my friend nothing more."

"CRYSTAL." the whole group called

"I'm fine guys, but Sango we need to attend to her."

"What happened?" (Miroku)

"I'll speak later."

Kougatried to take that opportunity that everyone was distracted to get Crystal but Inuyasha had unsheathed the Tetsusaiga and cut Kouga down. Kouga jumped back holding his arm and glaring at the hanyou.

"Go into the castle."

It was the only command that he was going to make. The group ran back into the castle with Sango safely in Miroku's hands. He was to worried about her safety to touch her inappropriately.
