SCROLL TWELVE:
Kagome's Incident
"R-Reiki…" Shippo stuttered. Hikari was molesting him again. "Please help me!"
They were still waiting for Inu-Yasha and Kagome to come back, Hikari obviously occupied with Shippo, Reiki fiddling with and chasing her tail, and Sango and Miroku teasing one another. Kirara, however, was nowhere in sight.
Something suddenly darted through their camp, and Reiki went tumbling across the ground in the vacuum of its passing.
"Um…" she pondered to the twilight sky when she spat her tail out.
"What?" Hikari inquired.
"Was that Koga just now?"
Hikari suddenly booked it after Koga, and smelling Kagome with him she went doubly fast.
"…" Reiki was startled yet again when a half naked Inu-Yasha came leaping through as well, and this time Shippo saw him too.
"What's happening?" he asked in a very nice deep voice, standing. He had outgrown his old clothes about two hours ago, and out of desperation inquired as to whether or not Miroku had an extra set of robes. He did, as most humans have to, and Shippo now wore the black robe, tied and fastened with his tail (His enchanted tail, like Sesshomaru's but not as nice. Or skin if you would, but that just sounds gross… I personally think Shippo always had an extra tail, and that it was his fur vest he has as a young kit! To continue:) (…with his tail) around his waist, twisted, and bent over one shoulder. It still had slack even. To top it off, and to Miroku's great disapproval, Shippo had gnawed out a hole in the back of the robe for his real tail to go through and, while he was at it, he cut down the hem so he wouldn't trip and wrapped the excess fabric up between his legs to make it look like a baggy pair of pants again. The thing Hikari took great delight in though was the fact that he was wearing all back, her favorite color next to black tinted purply.
So anyway, he stood, his long red and now-silky hair billowing with the motion like his matching tail, and stared after them with his brilliant green eyes. There was a look of pure fury on the newly denoted demon's face, and he smelled Kagome's and Koga's scents having passed through moments ago.
"Not good," he commented, pursuing them. Reiki decided to tag along, but couldn't run as fast as Shippo or the rest.
"Hey!" she called. "Wait up!"
"You have wings, don't you?" Shippo inquired sarcastically. "Try flying!"
She stopped and he was gone.
"Wings?" she asked herself incredulously with a screwed up face of question. She reached a hand back and, after a moment, she found herself pinching thin flaps of skin. "?" She pulled at it, and there was an odd muscular twinge as a wing extended. "AWESOME! Okay, so that bends there… That's a muscle?… And so if I do this…" she flexed, and two wings flapped in unison. "YEAH-OO! I wonder if I really can fly!" With some mild effort she went five feet off the ground. Her heart was racing with excitement. "Oh, goodie! How high can I go!"
"Wha-?" Shippo looked back as something came screaming nearer.
"SHIPPO!" Reiki shrieked, bulleting at him. "How the hell do I stop these things!"
"WAAAH!" he cried, eyes going to the size of bowls and jumping out of her way; rolling to the ground. Reiki went sailing through where he had been, and soared back up into the air flapping her arms and legs along with her wings. She went screaming back into the atmosphere, doing barrel roles and all sorts of tricks that scared the shit out of her. (She's not too fond of heights).
(Reiki: "I second that.")
"Dear gods," Shippo panted, watching her turn quickly into a speck. "She's sure to die soon…" He got up and continued on his way, watchful for her shadow.
(Up ahead)
"What the?" Koga wondered aloud, an intriguing smell coming to him. It smelled like a dragon, but, there was a scent of human mingled in with it. Not human blood, or even burnt human flesh, just human. And that human smelled somewhat familiar…
He looked up for the source of it, and saw something flapping wildly towards them.
"A harpy?" he growled. He and his clan had destroyed them all! "… No, it looks like a dragon pup! I thought their territories stopped spreading from over the ocean! Unless, they're trying to expand it to our lands… funny, I never knew they were intelligent enough to figure out there was more land over the salty waters. Too bad my hands are full, or else I'd take that trash out in a heartbeat."
To his amazement though, the dragon cub actually flew ahead of him, and it was falling closer to the ground.
"Perfect. A willing victim. I can slice it in half as I pass by! No filth is littering my lands!"
So, crashing and booming to a stop, Reiki landed on her face bent double so that her tail was flopped over her eyes and nose.
"Oh, owie!" she moaned, folding backwards and sitting up out of her landing skid. She rubbed a bump on her head, then smiled and stood. "That was fun! I think I'll do it again! Not right now though beca…" Something menacing was approaching fast and she turned. She felt claws rake painfully along her stomach and arm, and collapsed to the ground.
"OOOOOOOOOOUCH!!! YOU FUCKING BASTARD!!"
"Damn," Koga thought, outracing her cry and licking the blood from his claws. It tasted sweet, for a dragon. "I missed the heart. Wasn't a dragon though… It looked like a half-breed actually… Great, you lose one and you get one. Too bad I'm in such a time-pinch, else I'd turn around and finish the job. At least it will probably bleed to death. That, or infection."
And he was gone, but Reiki wasn't alone for lone.
Hikari was following very happily, ready for another bout in the cave with Koga. She suddenly smelled blood in the air though, and before she knew it she saw Reiki on the ground, claw marks sliced through her skin. One hand gripped her side, and the other clawed furrows in the earth as she spewed an impressive list of curses.
"Oh my God, Reiki!" she cried, stopping.
"God, he's a bastard…" Reiki mumbled, slowly sitting up. Inu-Yasha broke through the trees and stopped for a split second before leaping onward.
"Tell me about it," Hikari replied, staring after the dog demon.
"No… Koga!" Reiki growled, cradling her side. Koga's attack had started in a fleshed area of her body, and ran into scales, ripping them away in parts. "I don't know which would be worse, a drive-by shooting or a run-by clawing! GOD it HURTS!! OOH-NFGH!!"
"Geeze, Reiki!" Shippo exclaimed, stopping to look over her wounds. "And here I thought you'd die landing, but what's with the claws?"
"Koga-kun did it," Hikari replied angrily, going on after her prey and leaving Shippo to clean up.
"It burns," Reiki whimpered. He looked back down to see her skin turning a deep red around the marks.
"It will," he replied, not really knowing what to do. He didn't have any healing powers like his mother had, none that he knew of, but there was a trick most demons had when they came of age… "Hm… Do you want to go after them, or go back to camp?"
"I wanna throw up…" Reiki muttered, her stomach churning. She abruptly did just that and when done crawled over to a tree to lean against. When she rested back Shippo saw that the slices went over her lower rib cage too, not just on her arm, but worse of all, the cuts wouldn't cease their bleeding.
"Um, Reiki," Shippo stuttered. He didn't really like blood.
"M?" she murmured, head leaning back and eyes closed.
"Why aren't your cuts healing up? I thought you were a half-demon now!"
"I don't know. Maybe I have human qualities for my healing abilities? Ever think of that?" she snapped, her head knocking against the tree as though giving herself a worse headache would be better.
"But, no half-demon suffers that. That's one of the reasons why humans envy them! They're always born with half of a regular demon's strengths."
"But I wasn't born a half-breed, now was I?" Reiki tested him, applying pressure to her wound.
"… … … … Here," he finally said, taking her arm nervously. He had only seen his father do this, but…
"GYEAAK!" Reiki cried at first when he stuck out his tongue and licked along a cut. Twice. This was sending shivers up her spine to the point that her hair began to stand on end. Why the hell was he licking her! She slapped him in the forehead, sending him to his ass, and pulled her arm away painfully. He made a face, licking his lips.
"Well, that was my first taste of blood after a very long time. I seem to have lost the liking for it," he stated, raking at his tongue. His parents had weaned him onto raw meats a long time ago, and Kagome weaned him onto instant food... Nice and COOKED.
Reiki, totally grossed out, rubbed away any remaining saliva, wary of the cut that he had gone over, and to her amazement it wasn't there! It was actually gone!
"How?" she wondered aloud, trying to pull the skin back apart for some odd reason.
"Bleah… Not even candy will get this taste out of my mouth," he whimpered. "Demons who have a 'true form' are able to do that," he explained, grinning. "So… That means I actually can turn into a large and powerful fox! … Do you… ah… want me to go on?"
She nearly laughed. He was nervous about it? She held out her arm to him, which actually really pained her to do. "If you would." It tickled, now that she thought about it as they both cringed when he continued. She put her mind on other subjects, such as whether or not Hikari would become more than a wrist cutter for these services… "If they have a true form?"
"Ugm?" Shippo grunted, his bloody tongue still sticking out. "Yea, ony denonth wit a tue thone."
(Yeah, only demons with a true form)
"So… Sesshomaru can too?"
Shippo gulped with surprise, then gave a horrible cringe that made his hair poof out. It was rather cute.
"Yeah, actually. He probably never uses it though… We should bandage the rest, right?"
"Yeah," Reiki agreed. The rest of it was directly under her breast.
"And… You feel better, right?"
"Strong as an ox!" she announced, lifting her arm to flex it. She then winced because of her chest scrapings and, using her other hand, gently undid her foolish action. "Okay, maybe not yet, but close!"
He chuckled, and to her surprise he picked her up and began to take her back to camp. He'd hear the stories over dinner.
"Oh!" she exclaimed, her arms automatically wrapping around his neck for fear of his dropping her. "… Oh, I like this feeling… No wonder Hikari's been trying to coax you!"
"Watch it…"
(A while later)
Kagome fluttered her eyes open, and realized that it was still dark despite her lids being open. Either it was night, or she was underground. Or both even.
She sat up, clutching furs to herself and shivering for the cold against her nude back, and reaching out felt something furry.
"Why, hello my mate."
Kagome immediately went into a wild slapping motion. Something swished out of her way, and through the darkness she saw Koga's form land nearby, watching her. She gave a scared squeak and began to inch away, but he rushed up and caught her. Feeling threatened she swung her hand and slapped him across the face.
"So, you can see me," he scoffed, raising a curious hand to where she had struck him. "Reminds me of when I first claimed you as mine, though there was no blood before… You really did turn into a half-breed mutt after all, didn't you?"
"I drew blood?" she thought, apologizing immediately. When he gave her a satisfied look though she continued with. "I'm sorry, but you deserved it! How DARE you kidnap me like this! I swear that if you don't let me leave right this instant I'm going to…"
"Going to WHAT!" he demanded. Instead of a flinch though, Kagome remained perfectly still save for some shivers of anger. All of a sudden her fury spiked through the roof and the blaze around her lit up the whole cave
Koga wasn't phased though.
"Feh! I always wanted my woman to have at least some spark to her!" he growled, pleased. Grabbing her again but around the waist, he pulled her into his waiting lap. "I might have to watch it though. Your burn may be a little more than I can handle…" At that he nibbled her ear, and to her horror all of her anger blew away to give way to shock and a twinge of pleasure. "Heh… I know what makes my woman happy."
She rested her head against his shoulder, and his nibbling continued down her neck as his hand reached for her breast. He never touched it though.
"You are personally going to escort me to Inu-Yasha, right now," Kagome informed him in a calm voice, gripping his scrotum in her nailed vice grip. There was a very entertaining look on his face. "Do it, or I swear you will never have the authority to even approach another woman again, let alone sire children, Kogata."
(Reiki: "Would you guys believe that adding 'ta' on the end of 'Koga' means 'small'? -winks- Sorry to disappoint all you Koga fan girls!"
Hikari: "Yeah… He's not the best piece of man-meat out there in our opinions…")
"Grrr! Damned that wolf!" Inu-Yasha cursed, trying to track him down. His scent went everywhere though for some odd reason, but then again he could only pick it up every so often through the other scents. It seemed as though he had wade through a river and then went romping in the fields of various blooming vegetation! It was infuriating! The worse part though was that he couldn't pick up Kagome's scent at all, let alone even begin to ponder how the hell that cursed wolf managed to spread his scent through more than a square three miles of land!
(off wheezing in the distance)
"Hey… Hakaku… You think -gasp- … think, we did… it?" Ginta panted, doubled over and nearly ready to keel over and die.
"I… don't… know…" Hakaku replied between intakes of sweet air which stung his throat. He was seated slumped against a tree trunk with his head bent back to make it easier to breath. They had been running with some fellow wolves with their own scents washed off and furs from Koga's bed in hand. They had to stop though, because they were sweating buckets and giving off their own scents again. "Koga had… better get some- somewhere with her though!"
(Hikari: "Reiki, you're brilliant… Let's get back to the 'happy' couple now!")
Koga was getting somewhere. He was being guided by the groin wincing all the way as Kagome searched on her own for Inu-Yasha.
"Okay, this is really uncomfortable," she thought to herself, her palm getting sweaty. At least she had his fur separating her hand from his privates. Aside from that though, she wished she could find some clothes somewhere instead of having to wrap herself in those stinking furs like they were bathing towels… Distracted, she abruptly tripped over a deeply embedded rock and put her hands out to brace herself.
"How dare you!" Koga yelled, finally free. Taking the advantage, he pinned her belly to the ground. "Fine. I see that you won't accept me openly as your mate," he growled, forcing her onto her back and unfolding her from the furs. She tried to knee him in the groin, but he skillfully pinned her down with his own body weight. "But, I won't let you go back to that bastard mutt unclaimed."
"Let me go!" she screamed, writhing in his iron firm one-handed grasp as he undid his armor and fur. "I hate you! Let me go this instant! Don't you even THINK about it!!"
(Beginning of lime) sorry…
Kagome, with shock, screamed when she felt his hardened member rub against her inner thigh through the mini-skirt. He abruptly covered her mouth, and gathered both of her hands in one of his own above her head. She tried to pinch her legs closed, but his knee was between her own, preventing that.
"I will have you," he whispered to her, almost sounding pained. "This is just the way wolves are, Kagome. And they mate for life. Perhaps, when I kill that insolent pup you're tagging along with, you'll come back for seconds…"
(Lemon) really sorry...
Kagome, in those mere five minutes, never felt as violated and pained in all of her life until then. She cried against his calloused hand, hoping beyond hope for Inu-Yasha to come save her. A part of her didn't want him to see her like this, yet she still wanted him to help her. But, as her back continued to grate slightly against the dirt, and as the searing pain began to dull in some places and sharpen in others, he still didn't come. Tears streamed down her face as she felt him shiver above her, but he continued and she screamed in anguish yet again into his sweating palm.
He came again, and again, and still he continued, possessively looming over her until a certain someone suddenly tore them away from each other.
(End of lemon) Well, at least it's over with
"You fucking bitch! I'll murder you!"
Koga was immediately pulled from his trance of mating when he saw a horrifying and furious face before him. Well, it had to be in front of him, because his neck was gripped (as thoroughly as his scrotum had been) as his body was lifted from the ground.
Sobbing in a horrible fit, Kagome looked reluctantly towards the wolf demon who had just taken severe advantage of her, and was shocked to see who her savior was.
"Hikari!" she wailed. Not who she wanted, and needed. She staggered to her feet and began running for Inu-Yasha.
Said demon was practically bleeding at the eyes. He smelled something horrible, but couldn't figure it out. All he knew was that it involved the wolf and Kagome, and so he continued to leap and bound towards them.
He suddenly heard a most interesting noise though.
"No way…" he though. "Is that… Koga? Why the hell is he screaming like a girl!" He was comforted by the idea that Kagome was standing up for herself, but that thought was replaced by a happier one when the next sound came to him. "HAH! I'd recognize that malicious laugh anywhere! No wonder Koga is screaming, if Hikari's got him!"
"Koga, I'm going to beat the shit out of you and thenrape you senseless!" she cried in the background, bringing a smile to Inu-Yasha's face. He'd like to see that… But then she continued with: "How dare you do that to Kagome and not ME!"
It was then that a sudden whiff of distress and tears came to his senses, and he could make out Kagome's form running towards him. The scent that terrified him most of all though was that of virgin blood. He stopped, and she plowed into him, wailing into his bare chest.
"He-… he!" she cried out to him, giving up on talking and just clinging to him in mourning.
"What the hell did he DO?!" he growled to himself, clutching Kagome to himself. He could smell that bastard all over her, and his scent of arousal lingered in her hair, which had grits of dirt in it. Her back did as well, and Inu-Yasha swore that once he calmed her down he was going to go and dispatch Koga from the world of the living.
-As soon as Hikari's demonic face became recognizable to Koga, his tail drew between his legs as his knees came together submissively. His true pain didn't come though until Hikari began her tortures with the point of a threatening finger and the words "I want you." He suddenly felt a presence around his neck, aside from her fingers, and her eyes went wide and happy. He was screaming all night when he realized that a chocolate-brown command collar had suddenly appeared around his neck.
(End of longer chapter!)
Hikari: "Wow, I like it…"
Reiki: "I knew you would! I on the other hand HATE it! Are you SURE you want that plot for later?!"
Hikari: "Yep! And I don't care, I still like it. One thing I don't like though is the way these author notes are written!"
Reiki: "... What's wrong with them?" -gives puppy eyes-
Hikari: "It sounds like you're the one coming up with all of this! I'm helping a lot too you know! This story would be getting nowhere humorously without my brainstorming with you on what to do!"
Reiki: "True, true. Everyone, Hikari is a very big part of this story f.y.i. so don't go thinking that she's only standing behind me like a slave driver with a whip, because she's also bitching too!" -smiles-
CLOBBER!
Reiki: "Owie! And here I just got out of the hospital!"
Hikari: "Admit it!"
Reiki: "Fine! Hikariisagreathelpinthisstory! There, happy?"
Hikari: "Happy enough. Go on, write about us being together at camp!"
Reiki: "But, this is the end of the chapter!"
Hikari: "… Then you make a new one!"
