SAVING ME
CHAPTER 33 – Like father…
"Shit!" swore Bankotsu, leader of the band of seven as shots fired upon the Helicopter, forcing the Pilot to rise in the air. He turned to Ginkotsu, the artillery specialist, who cocked his Rocket Launcher upon his shoulders, his artificial arms making it an easy task. Smirking, the man clocked the switch, watching in sadistic pleasure as men flew on the ground from force the explosion.
"That's the queue, let's go!" said Bankotsu and with the exception of Ginkotsu the six men propelled down the sides of the Helicopter with the aid of Polypropylene ropes, each firing with deadly accuracy, killing every single man before they had touched the ground. Trampling through the flower beds, the men made their way to the house that had been sprayed with bullets.
"Seems like we're a bit too late…" said Jakotsu, the most effeminate member of the Band. While he leader tsked, entering the house one behind the other, surveying the damage and moving from room to room.
"Shit!" swore Bankotsu again when he came upon the bedroom; Sesshomaru was face-down and seemingly unresponsive…a pool of blood beneath him.
"Suikotsu, get in here!" shouted bankotsu to the member of his team that they called "the assassin doctor". He dropped before the man, pulled out his portable medicine kit.
"Can you save him? He's so cute!" whined Jakotsu as they turned over the man, but upon seeing him they all six cursed.

The small boy wiped the woman's forehead with a damp cloth as she tossed and turned in her sleep. He ignored the ever present hunger in his belly and concentrated at his task. He had never really seen a woman this close before but from what he had seen on the television, they were nice to children. For someone who had never experienced true kindness outside being tossed rotting food from which to live and being kicked in the side and back for pleasure, it was a dream in which he had forever wanted to experience. For the life he had lived, the boy was incredibly intelligent. He had learned much from experience, from listening, observing and practicing and whilst he could not read, his level of intelligent far exceeded that of the average four year old and especially that of a feral child even though he rarely…if ever, spoke.
When he had wiped the sweat from her brow he ran small scarred hands through her soft hair, bringing a hand up to his own matted hair. He wondered if his hair would ever look like normal, he didn't know what to do for it to look as that of others. He wondered if his skin would ever be as clean and soft as hers, but then he wasn't even allowed to bathe.
The boy sighed, returned the cloth to her forehead he crawled from the side of the bed. It was much easier to crawl as a dog than it was to walk as a boy. Lowering long dark lashes, the child wondered if his life would ever change.
Suddenly a groan came from the bed and he turned wide golden eyes to see the woman was awake.

A/N: There you have it; you have all been introduced to Sesshomaru's son, for those of you who didn't see it coming. The next chapter will explain a lot of what happened where he is concerned, only Delsan figured it out lol. He is the same "dog" Koga mistreated in chapter 27 and cut from Kikyo's body in chapter 18. Yup, from way back then…just goes to show…I really did start planning the story sequence.

Nap time, I hope to see reviews when I wake up. ^_^
