Chapter 20 : Unveiled
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha
Warning : Super Sad!
Don't Kill me please!
Dear Sesshomaru,
I have received the letter you sent to me, and I am glad to hear that everything is well .that everything is being handled, I hope to see you here soon. But that is irrelevant now. The danger you're looking for is not- well what I am failing to say is that no Sesshomaru all is not well here, no my silly feelings have not died down nor do I imagine them doing so anytime soon.
I fear a war is brewing and I am not alone in my theories. Inuyasha has felt it to and he is quite shaken by the presence that becomes stronger with each passing day. He says it's familiar almost like kin but corrupted evil, which is surprising because I was informed all of your kin has been destroyed. I worry for not only you now but my children.
I am worried that they will be hurt in the process I only hope by the time you get this letter it will not be too late.
Sincerely, your lady for eternity
Kagome.
A fire was burning beneath the very soiled he walked upon; tonight he would unveil his true nature and attack the castle that rightly belonged to him. It was dark tonight no moon or stars to gaze upon just bleak gray filled clouds. The perfect setting for his dark mood.
The lady of the palace was standing by her window looking into the clouds seemingly searching for a reprieve. A way out of that feeling she had been having. He looked at her smiling what a beautiful sight; he couldn't wait to rip her limb from limb. Her stomach was showing a slight bump, he would rid of that quickly. He would make her disgusting in the eyes of her lord. A poison easily rid of. He laughed loudly thinking of all his plans to come. She turned her head looking at the old woman, - or what she believed to an old woman- and waved smiling.
He smiled too mockingly turning away so she couldn't see his excitement. "Glorious lady Kagome tonight you will meet your end."
--
She held herself as she laid down to rest. Today she had made preparations for the children to be guarded below grounds, everyone protested at her absurdity but she insisted on it and sealed it with her royal name, so that none could deny her the request.
Sango and miroku had stayed too as she wished. No one but the royal guard knew of where they went. She stayed behind to protect her castle and wait for her lord.
She stared at the flickering candle by her bedside envisioning that this fire was the last shred of hope under this cloudy sky.
The letter from Sesshomaru had came yesterday he said that everything was well and he would be home soon. He asked about her premonitions if they were getting better. He asked her not to be too worrisome, he would return soon enough.
She hated him for making her worry so. She rubbed her stomach it was aching from the pain.
"Ah." She yelled as a sharper pain crossed through her. Not only in her stomach but her chest was becoming heavy too. She looked as the candle light flickered off her eyes wide and frightened.
"Kuku." An evil laughter came from the shadows. "Tell me who you are!" She screamed as she gripped her stomach tighter. She saw as Momo stepped out of the shadow, she looked appalled. As Momo spoke she froze to listen.
"Are you receiving pain my darling?" A voice deep and very unlike Momo's voice said. "What a-re you?" Kagome managed sweat dripping down her forehead. "What I am is not the question my dear it is Who am I?" Momo Laughed menacingly. "I don't give a damn just show yourself demon!" she yelled as blood began to pour from her mouth and legs.
"I am the man who will be their downfall." she said coming closer sitting by her bed. "Hmm so you drank the soup I counted on it that you would, that fool of a girl Rukia should have never turned her back on your food after all-" Momo said bending down to whisper in her ear. "-You never know who could poison it." It was then that Kagome's heart jumped. Momo's skin was falling off her bone, the sight was grotesque and heart wrenching. Under the blood came a man who had silver hair and elfish ears he was tall and lanky. His arms filled with barely any muscle but she knew they held power. He looked like Sesshomaru and Inuyasha except his eyes. His eyes were a golden red, molten and hot like a fire was just waiting to burn. "W-WHY!" She screamed choking in her own blood.
"Because, you are not meant to be lady of these lands and HE is the son of the demon who ended my life In EVERY WAY POSSIBLE!"
He screamed yanking her by her robe and sitting her up.
"I beg of you do not scream it will only make it worse."
She never screamed.
--
Inuyasha woke from his sleep.
Sleep?
He looked up from the floor noticing he was in the corridor by his office. Getting up he started to wonder around. The bodies of servants were everywhere. "What happened?" He murmured.
He walked outside to the gardens noticing that there were more and more bodies out here too. It was then that he felt alarm.
The blood on the white tulips. His hands started to shake as he looked up from the source. "No!" He whispered. It was coming from Kagome's room.
--
He was running through the forest eager to get home. The demon hoard stopped and so his mission was dismissed. He was free to go to his mate and let her know that her premonitions where false that he was ok, there was really nothing to fear.
It was then that he felt it. The searing pain ripped through him and he felt the demon in him rise to battle. His mate was lying with a man; she was committing the ultimate betrayal.
He read her letters was this what she meant, that she was leaving him?
Did she hoped he would get there to stop her from doing this vile act?
She said Inuyasha felt corrupt kin, could that kin be her? Had she forsaken him?
It didn't matter because in that moment his heart was wrenched from his body and he knew. He no longer had a mate.
--
It was done. She was no longer with child he made sure of that. Blood fell like a sweet crimson river as her body purged the child from her body. He left her naked and battered by the balcony her body bathing in the moonlight. She didn't scream as he forced her to endure the torture he imposed upon her. She has been scared.
Her body was bruised and beat. Her center raw and hurt. He fucked her into oblivion and didn't stop till she passed out from the pain. And there she lay bleeding under the moonlight.
A broken angle.
--
Inuyasha ran up the stair into her bedroom.
He stopped and stared. He didn't dare touch her but there she lay on the balcony. He had seen many disturbing things but this by far was the worse. It was a miracle she was still alive.
She lay on her back in a pool of her blood. Her chest that was scratched and bruised moved up and down in attempt to breath. Her face was pale and bruised and her legs ripped and sullied. But what was worse was the baby that lay nestled in between her legs. Small but still a baby, he gazed at its wet blood covered body.
The little toes and arms, and the little belly button still attached to his mothers lifeline. Inuyasha fell to his knees and cried. His cries became so loud some servants who had risen came to see what happened they too had fallen with tears.
No one moved. No one spoke.
No one dared touch her.
Then he came.
--
Sesshomaru walked to the castle stepping over bodies. It was then he saw the blood pouring from his room and the sobs of his brother beckoning him.
His demon speed could not get him there fast enough. But when he approached the room he stopped looking at the crowd of servants. It was then her saw her.
Broken and bloody.
He ran to her, gazing at her broken form stopping when he reached his child.
He picked it up cradling it into his palm. He did not cry. He did not move. He could not think.
He laid by her whispering into her ears sweet nothings he knew she was alright. he knew she would be ok. It was when she came to that really broke his heart.
She looked at him with frightened eyes and she screamed.
"No! No not again please No!" She yelled pushing away from him and toward the edge of the balcony.
He followed her looking with sad eyes at his broken mate. "It is me, Kagome its Sesshomaru stop!" He said kneeling before her.
He saw her eyes stop and tear. And she flung herself toward him weeping in his arms. He cradled her and his child and with the leave of the servants he held her, as she cried his tears too.
Who ever had done this would die. THIS WAS WAR!
I am sorry please don't kill me I beg of you!
It sad and it killed me to write it. But you will see I promise..
I would like to say thanks so much to all of you that wished me well on my situation thank you so much!
I love to write and I am determined to finish this thing!
