I do not own Inuyasha.

Last time….
"You bastard!" Sango yelled as she released her hidden dagger from her kimono sleeve and put it through his upper arm.
Kegatsu looked down at his arm in shock, seeing the blood drip he was repulsed by the weakness of his feeble body. "Bitch," Growling at the girl he dropped her in mid-jump. Sango fell at least 15 feet and landed on her right arm.
"Damn him…" The slayer hissed and looked down at her broken arm, but she didn't care about her arm. Only one thought was going through her mind, 'The baby…' Hot tears streaked her dirt covered cheek as she cried for the unknown fate of her unborn child. "Mir…oku," she called out weakly. Her head was pounding and everything seemed to go black, but she let herself slip into it, falling into a state of unconsciousness.
Inuyasha ran at top speed leaving the monk to hang onto his back for dear life. All the while though, the hanyou's mind was racing much faster, planning what he would do to that damn bear once he was in his claws. Miroku noticed a figure on the ground, "SANGO!"At the sight of his wounded wife his heart missed a beat in fear for her life. He yelled at Inuyasha to stop and let him off. Unwillingly, the raging dog turned around and ran back to the body to let his friend down before quickly racing back off into the darkness. He was hunting, bear hunting.

Days Go By: Chapter four
:0000000000:
The moon hangs high in the sky, but it seems to look down in indifference. A red blur is traveling through the trees like lightning. "KAGOME! KAGOME," it yells into the night, but there was no answer. The bur stopped to reveal its form, Inuyasha, he sniffed the air, but couldn't distinguish his love's or his enemy's scent. He sourly cursed himself for not protecting his woman better. A single tear drop hit the tree branch, "I broke my promise Kagome… I told you I would always be there to protect you… but where the hell am I now!?" The branch he was perched on snapped like a twig as he punched it in frustration and as he jumped into a different tree it fell to the ground with a loud crash, disturbing the otherwise quiet forest. Deciding not to waste anymore time he shot off looking again. The towering trees consumed the hanyou as he searched wildly, desperately for his mate.
:0000000000:
With Kegatsu and Kagome
:0000000000:
A dark figure held a familiar small, glowing bottle.
"Don't touch those!" yelled the skimpy clothed miko who was immobile on the ground tied in a tangle of strange vines. She squirmed and tried escape the tight hold of the plant, but to no avail.
"All tied up like that, I don't think your one to talk," Kegatsu smirked. He shook the eight or so shards from the bottle and stared in delight. The bear quickly slid them beneath the skin of his legs and arms. He soaked in the new found power as a dark purple glow seemed to surround him. "Hah! Now I have the power the jewel shards," Kegatsu said as he turned to face Kagome, who still lay, trapped in a mess of vines. "Now for-" a small shine coming from her neck caught his eyes. 'Ah, so the wench was holding out on me.' The bear slowly approached Kagome and kneeled in front of her. Her heart beat faster in complete fear and his round ears heard it. The miko was covered in the smell of terror, but he inhaled it like a drug. "Wench, you will pay for trying to hide that from me," Kegatsu said as he breathed out, eyes locked onto his prey.
"What are you staring at me like that for…?" she whispered. Kagome, having given up on struggling to free herself, took to looking him in the eye and attempting to intimidate him. She feebly tried to stare down the bear, but seeing that it didn't even faze him started to worry the girl. Kegatsu brought up his hand carefully to the side of her face, which could have been mistaken for admiration, until he cut across her cheek with a single claw. That brought blood to seep to the surface and drip down her flushed cheek, down her neck, staining the new school clothes she wore. With the other hand he quickly reached into her shirt, grabbing the chunk of the Shikon no Tama that hung loosely around her neck and yanked it off. Kagome gasped in shock and stared down at her neck, where the valuable jewel had hung just seconds ago. The bear popped it into his mouth like candy and swallowed it down whole without hesitation.
"Look who finally arrived," he said while stood up to turn toward the distant rustling. A toothy grin spread on his face while his small, beady eyes flashed blood red.
"KAGOME! WHERE ARE YOU!" floated the gruff voice.
Kagome perked up at the familiar sound, "Inuyasha?" She tried to move her head around, hoping the see the red fire rat kimono of her lover. In a flash he appeared, staring at Kegatsu with death in his eyes. "INUYASHA!" the miko yelled in an uncertain joy.
"Finally, you arrived. I was beginning to think you wouldn't show, Inuyasha," the bear demon chuckled. He pointed at the hanyou as his eyes glowed red and soon the rest of his body followed suit and glowed red too. "Witness my strength!" Kegatsu yelled as he directed, with his outstretched finger, glowing red vines to surround Inuyasha. The hanyou hacked at them with his own claws but to his surprise they didn't break, they didn't even weaken. He thrashed about trying to get free, but they only tightened closer around him. The bear showed his fangs, nodding in approval of his work. Without warning Kegatsu brought his hands down upon Kagome's thighs and roughly spread them apart. The mates instantly knew what he was going to do. He planned to rape the young girl and torture Inuyasha by making him watch.
"NO! KAGOME!" her mate yelled before his mouth was pointed at and the vines covered it up tightly. Now he could neither move nor talk and those damn plants would not break, no matter what he tried. Kagome seemed to be under some kind of spell and couldn't talk either, but maybe it was just a spell of fear. The couple looked at each other with longing, worry, and love etched into their eyes. For all they knew, it could be the last time they saw each other.
Kegatsu had made short work of her school clothes and harshly inserted, into her womanhood, a clawed finger. Her insides were torn up, but he didn't care, in fact that's what he aimed to do. Once satisfied with the he damage inflicted the bear took out his now bloody finger. Kegatsu stood and strode over to Inuyasha, who's eyes had gone wide with hatred. Again the hanyou fought against the vines as the bear wiped Kagome's blood off his own finger and onto Inuyasha's cheek. "Fucking bastard," he tried to yell through the restrain of the plants.
"That isn't even the worst part yet," Kegatsu hissed while he removed a flap of fur that held back his growing bulge. He positioned himself above the helpless girl and hastily thrust inside her with incredible force and aggressiveness. Kagome's eye filled with tears while she opened her mouth to scream even though no sound would come out. In and out he went with more force and pressure each time, covering the area of her opening and upper thighs in blood. The thick smell reached the dog demon's sensitive nose causing his nostrils to flare while the whites of his eyes slowly turned red. Inuyasha had watched and seen everything the bear did to his lover. Each second caused his rage to rise higher and higher, he wanted nothing more but to destroy the demon. His eyes fully turned bright red and his pupils became deep blue. Jagged purple streaks appeared on each cheek and even his fangs and claws seemed to get bigger. He was now in his impressive demon form. The bear roared in corrupt pleasure as he released his seeds into the horrified miko, but a strong scent caught his attention and brought him back to reality.
"Aye, you damn mutt, what are you up to?" Kegatsu said to the hanyou as he sniffed the air and noticed the scent change. Looking over at the demonic hanyou, he was shocked to see blood red eyes staring right back at him. Fear started to form in the pit of his stomach, which the dog easily detected, while he pulled out his shrinking, bloody dick. As he covered himself back up he kept a careful eye on Inuyasha. All of a sudden he remembered the numerous Shikon jewel shards he possessed and a new confidence filled the bear. He was invincible, no one could defeat his newly discovered power.
:0000000000:
Meanwhile with Sango and Miroku
:0000000000:
"Sango, are you ok?" Miroku asked as he saw his wife's eyes flutter slowly open.
"Yeah, I'm fine," the exterminator lied.
Miroku looked at her in a way that showed he knew the truth, "No, you're not." The monk reached over touched her right arm lightly making her hiss in pain, "Sango, your arm is probably broken..." He trailed off seeing the tears in her eyes and realizing she isn't crying over her arm.
"What happened to our baby? I fell so far… What if…"
"SANGO! MIROKU!" Shippo yelled down to his friends from the back of Kirara. As the fox and cat demon land next to the couple the kit asked, "Where are Inuyasha and Kagome?"
Sango looked away in shame, "I… I couldn't save Kagome. That demon ran off with her."
"Kegatsu captured her and Inuyasha is chasing after him," Miroku clarified for the child.
"What?" he gasped. Meanwhile Kirara tried to comfort her master by sitting behind her so the injured exterminator could lean on her soft fur.
"Thanks Kirara," Sango whispered.
"Why did you leave the village? We left you there so you wouldn't get hurt." Miroku stated more than asked.
"You guys were taking forever…" noticing his friend's pain Shippo asked, "Sango… what happened to you?"
"The demon dropped me and I guess my arm is broken." she answered leaving out the part about her unborn baby having possibly suffered damage, or worse.
"But isn't that your throwing arm?" the kitsune squeaked. Sango sighed feeling weak with the sad truth of it.
Miroku kissed his love's forehead and stood up, "Kirara, Shippo, stay here and protect her, she is my prized treasure… So please be careful." He headed for where Sango pointed out that Inuyasha disappeared.
"Please… Stay safe," his wife said to herself.
:0000000000:
Deep in the forest
:0000000000:
"DAMN YOU TO HELL!" the transformed Inuyasha snarled. He growled in pure rage and frustration.
Using all the power he could summon he bit at the vines, freed his arms, and ripped them to shreds. Now that his restraint was destroyed, his red and blue eyes were already on his next victim.
Kagome called out, fighting the spell, "Inuyasha! You…You transformed…"
'How the hell…She's talking. She broke the spell!' the bear wondered, 'Damn priestess.' The vicious full-fledged demon ignored his mate's calls and stepped right over her, heading for Kegatsu.
"Inuyasha!..." Miroku yelled at first, but he then realized that a naked Kagome was soaked in blood on the ground. Quickly coming to realization of what must have happened he rushed to help his friend, "Kagome!" The monk took off his purple outer robe, so he still had on his black robes, and placed them on the girl's exposed body to cover her. At this point the now full dog demon was about to slash Kegatsu to pieces… until he noticed Miroku covering Kagome. He snarled and glared at his monk friend.
"Get away… from her," he said in the deep, rough voice of his transformed self. His eyes seemed to burn like hell itself.
"Inu…yasha…?" the monk questioned. His former half demon friend moved toward him with malicious intent causing him to be backed up against a tree with nowhere to run. Instead of taking his chance to escape, Kegatsu stood watching, very amused by the two buddies being pitted against each other.
"Inuyasha, stop!" Kagome begged, but once again she was ignored. With the bear's attention elsewhere, his concentration on the vines lapsed allowing the miko to stand and rap herself in the robes. She froze, eyes fixed on her mate. Inuyasha was lifting a claw, ready to end the life of his own friend, but he was hesitant and seemed to be fighting with himself.
'Stop! Miroku is my friend. It is that Kegatsu that needs to die! - He touched my bitch, MY woman. And saw her naked! He must DIE!' The lifted claw was brought down swiftly, but someone jumped in front of his target and pushed him back. Inuyasha almost tripped over his own feet at the surprising force he was pushed with.
"INUYASHA! You have to stop!" Kagome screamed as she slowly and painfully made her way over to her mate and threw herself onto him, hugging him. She held on as hard as she could despite her throbbing arm, which had been scratched up by Inuyasha's claws. Slowly, but surely, the natural amber color returned to his eyes, though the purple streaks still remained. Ripping off a piece of his white undergarments the half demon tried to wipe away the blood from the wound he inflicted.
'This is my chance!' thought the bear as he rushed toward the couple with raised hands.
Miroku still stood by the trees still dumbfounded by what just happened until he noticed the quickly approaching bear. "Watch out!" he warned.
Inuyasha's dog ears twitched as he whirled around to face his opponent, "Iron Reaver Soul Stealer!" The still unusually long claws pierced through the black fur and flesh with malevolence.
"WHAT?" yelled Kegatsu, as he watched his own blood go air born. The bear lost a large mass of flesh which lay slumped on the blood covered ground before him. He was ripped up with ease and it took him by such surprise that he looked like he could have died from shock instead of internal damage and blood loss. The bear fell to his knees with small eyes looking up at his personal silver haired, dog eared grim reaper. As if there was slow motion, he fell over on his side and disintegrated into nothing but dust that was doomed to be blown about the earth for years to come.
In the deceased demon's body, the separate shards had joined with the big piece of the Shikon no Tama from Kagome's necklace. Now the whole chunk was as black as Kegatsu's heart. After all the rest of him was black so why not his heart too. Kagome slowly picked it up and the jewel went back to its original sparkling, pure pink. There are probably only two shards missing from the beautiful sphere. Going behind a tree, the miko changed back into her school clothes which were none worse for wear, except the small blood stains near the neck. When she back came out the now normal Inuyasha put his kimono over her shoulders.
"I'm…sorry. I don't know what happened to me," the half demon hung his head, ashamed. The miko turned and looked at him to realize that the purple streaks were still there, but she immediately decided not to say anything about it until things calmed down a bit. She didn't want to worry him needlessly about it.
"It's ok. We're all safe now," Kagome said as she forced a small smile. "Thanks," she whispered to the monk as she handed Miroku back his robes.
"We should get back to Sango, Shippo, and Kirara… This way." Miroku said as he walked back from where he had come earlier. Once he was ahead of his friends, so they couldn't see, he let out a few tears that he had been holding back. At least his spouse and friends were safe, but the possibility of losing the child racked his brain bringing on an immense headache. Inuyasha picked up Kagome bridal style and walked behind the monk to were the rest of the group waited for them. Seeing the shape Kagome was in and the look on her mate's face, Sango felt awful because she failed to save her friend. Maybe if she hadn't fainted and instead chased after the bear she could have saved her from all that suffering. Before she got to over think it Miroku picked her up and placed her carefully onto Kirara's back. Shippo sensed this wasn't the time for questions so he kept quiet as he lead everyone out of the forest.
By now the sun was starting to rise, making the long and dreadful night retreat. Inuyasha walked out of the forest determined to forget. He didn't ever want to remember the helplessness he felt when he was unable to help his Kagome. But the images of his mate being raped were burned into memory, with little hope of fading any time soon. And almost as bad was the transformation, what he had done during it, and how he almost couldn't come back this time.

Well… What did you think of this chapter? Ya, it had a few twists, as evil as they were. And obviously I didn't go into nearly as much detail with the lemon as in the first chapter, but that's mainly because this time it wasn't a pleasurable experience since it was Kegatsu. No reason to elaborate on a bad incident. But please review and tell me what you thought of it.
