A/N: Well, my comments are asceding, thank you all!
Just a quick key, this wolf pack is NOT Kouga's.
Yeah, just thought I'd clear that off.
Chapter 4:
When Rin awoke, the sun was shining brightly in the forest. Her eyes were filled with dried tears.
Her eyes widened, Katsume.
Although when she looked around at the other dog demons, she noticed one was missing.
She gasped, turning to Sesshomaru, "Sesshomaru!"
The dog raised it's head to her voice.
"Kaito's gone!" Rin said.
Sesshomaru stood quickly, scanning the area.
She was right, he was missing and his scent was very faint.
Then something lit up, he went after the wolves!
'Dammit, that stupid bastard!' Sesshomaru snarled. That pup was asking for a death wish!
'Everyone wake up, we are leaving!' Sesshomaru commanded, leaning down to let Rin get on his back.
Katsume slowly woke up. She had finally found sleep that night.
At first, she smiled hapily, glancing around the cave, that looked like the den back at home.
That thought suddenly left, and she sat up quickly, looking outside the cave.
A wolf was asleep, but laid out in front of her exit.
Katsume gulped, and tried not to bring more tears.
Suddenly, a human phased wolf entered the cave.
Katsume gasped, pressing her back against the rock of the cave.
The person stopped right before her, dropping some contents on the floor, Katsume looked down, seeing parts of a fish.
She looked at it, then back to the man.
"You know, If I had a half-breed born in my pack, I'd kill it as soon as it was born." He said sincerely.
Katsume let out a whimper, her heart sudenly being torn to pieces.
The human wolf left then.
Katsume sat down against the wall, her knees up to her chest, burying her face and began to cry.
Kaito reached the wolf pack's territory.
He hid in the tall grass, watching the large wolf pack wander around an open land.
He watched as a human wolf went into the cave with a dead fish, and left without it. Kaito sniffed the air, she was in there, and she was crying.
Kaito's fur bristled, he wanted to run down there and kill every single one of those wolves.
He stayed low though.
Then, he heard the human wolf speak, "Ok! Since the pesky half-breed recieved the last of our food, we need to hunt. You guys come with me. You stay and watch the brat." He commanded.
The wolves paired off, disappearing into the trees.
Kaito watched, and then looked over at the two wolves that paced around the cave, determined to allow no one to touch her.
Suddenly, the wolves stopped pacing, and went into the den.
It was deadly quiet, and Kaito couldn't hear what was going on.
Katsume had finished the cold and dirty fish when the two wolves guarding the cave entered.
Katsume again backed herself against the wall in fear, "I-I thought you w-weren't allowe t-to eat me?"
"He told us we couldn't eat you, but he didn't say we couldn't have some fun." The now human wolves smirking.
Katsume tilted her head... Fun?
Then, their arms were around her.
"Ahhh! No! Let e go!" Katsume cried out.
They just laughed, but it was soon stopped when a demonic roar came from outside.
They turned, noticing a large, and angry dog demon at the entrance.
'Leave. Her. Alone!' Kaito snarled.
"She's ours now mutt!" The wolves exited the cave challengingly.
Kaito snarled before lunging at them, slitting both of their throats fast than they could see.
The two dropped, and Kaito peeked in the cave, looking at a scared to death Katsume.
"K-kaito!" She cried, running towards him.
His whole being relaxed at the feeling of Katsume embracing him securely.
"Well well." A voice sounded behind them.
Kaito turned from Katsume, facing the human wolf he presumed was the leader, with other at his sides.
"Sesshomaru didn't want to get his hands dirty, so he sent one of his pack members to take the hits. And I thought he was a wise, strong dog demon. Oh well, we can deliver him a message." The leader said.
The wolves all started growling, ready for attack.
Kaito stood in front of the cave, hiding Katsume behind him, bent on killing every one of these wolves.
"Get them." The leader said calmly.
The wolves all came running.
Kaito charged to them as well.
He killed many wolves at once, but the wolves had their own method too.
They were climbing on to him like ants, sinking their teeth everywhere in his body.
Kaito was forced to the ground, wolves closing in.
"Kaito!" Katsume cried.
Then, a loud roar sounded from a distance away.
Katsume looked out of the cave to see her mom and dad standing at the top of the hill.
Sesshomaru snarled, charging down to Kaito, picking off and tossing wolves away from Kaito.
"Katsume!"
Katsume turned to her mom as she threw her arms around her.
"Oh. Thank goodness you're ok." Rin said, but soon noticed the bite on her arm.
It looked really bad, probably infected.
She would be sure to find some herbs back in their territory.
"Sesshomaru." The leader of the wolves spoke after all of the other wolves were dead. "We finally meet."
Sesshomaru was still upset, wanting to nothing but kill.
'How dare you take my daughter. You are nothing but selfish scavengers.' Sesshomaru growled.
"You can have your daughter back on one condition." The leader said.
Sesshomaru waited silently.
"I want that sword of yours. I hear it has the ability to bring one back from the dead, and also can do major damage. Give me the sword, or watch your daughter and mate, die."
Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed, "You really think I'd be foolish enough to hand that over to you. You have attempted to take something from the Wrong person!"
With that, he snapped, and lunged at the leader.
The wolf leader's eyes turned black, small golden orbs forming within them, then a whirlwind surround him, an after a few minutes, the whirlwind quit and now stood a giant wolf, almost the same size as Sesshomaru.
Just as Sesshomaru reached him, the large wolf caught him by the throat, tossing him back a couple feet landing harshly on the ground.
Rin heard a light whimper escape Sesshomaru.
"Sesshomaru!" Rin gasped, waiting for him to get back up.
The wolf closed his distance on them.
Rin rested a hand on the sheath of her sword.
The wolf seemed to laugh, but it was when Sesshomaru suddenly leapt up, sinking his teeth into the large wolf's neck.
The wolf jerked away from him, in a defensive stance as Sesshomaru pushed himself up.
'Come on. You are nothing without that sword of yours. Just give in, and we might consider letting you go.' The wolf said as they circled.
Sesshomaru's beast was enraged. One because these wolves harmed his daughter, and also that he was being looked down upon.
He snarled and lunged, going straight for the throat.
The wolf struggled against him, but Sesshomaru wasn't letting go.
Rin watched the fight, before noticing they were still wolves alive trying to take them.
Rin unsheathed her sword, ready for the fight.
Then, Akira and Akito showed, together taking down one of the wolves.
Another wolf snuck past them, but Kaito quickly ended it, fangs crushing its body.
Kaito again had himself in front of them, waiting for any oncoming wolves.
When Rin looked back at Sesshomaru, she noticing they were both growing tired, but Sesshoamru was not quitting.
'Ok. Maybe you are good without your sword.' The wolf said roughly.
Sesshomaru growled, lunging at him again, this time, ducking underneath him, going for the front of the neck.
The wolf was taken aback, trying to figure out how to free himself.
Sesshomaru didn't give him the chance, he stood, swiftly twisting the wolf's neck in the process.
When the snapping stopped, Sesshomaru dropped the wolves, leaving it lay limp on the ground.
That was the end, the wolf demon was dead.
Sesshomaru looked around him, they were surrounded by dead wolves.
He turned to his mate and daughter who were being protected by Kaito and the other two.
Sesshomaru's eye caught a couple left over wolves, staring traumatized at the scene.
They noticed Sesshomaru watching and yelped and ran.
Sesshomaru growled and quickly lunged at them, killing them in an instant.
Now, a whole wolf pack he had killed, his beast felt satisfied with all the blood of the creatures who dare harm his clan!
Sesshomaru returned to his huma form finally, approaching Rin and Katsume.
Katsume immediately wrapped her arms around him, her tears continueing to fall.
"You have to be more careful, Kat." He said calmly. His being relaxed with knowing she was safe.
Although it was also enraged that she was hurt.
He looked down at her arm where blood had dried, and a nasty gash that clearly smelled infected.
Sesshomaru's eyes dimmed the shade of crimson.
"I'm sorry, dad." Katsume whimpered.
"Let's go home, get this cleaned." He said, giving her arm a light kiss.
He phased again, letting Rin get on his back, Katsume following behind.
They took off back towards the mountain.
Kaito and the others followed after.
Kaito's being was at ease now, his Kat was ok now. She was safe.
He would never let her leave his eyesight ever again;
