SAVING ME

CHAPTER 39: REDEMPTION

Sango ran to Rin's side, the poor girl was hyperventilating, at her chest, Daisuke had pressed his shirt to stem the blood of her wound…Sango glanced at his young body…there was not an inch that did not have a scar and she felt an intense pain in her heart...for what he must have been through. Feeling a wetness as she kneeled, Sango looked to Rin. The girl was biting her lip, stiffening before she released a panting breath and Sango's eyes widened.

"Oh God…are you…?" she asked, stunned at the turn of events, as Rin nodded before stiffening again.

"Don't move…I will get the doctor!" said Sango before she ran off. Rin turned to look at the two men squaring off, keep her pain muffled so she would not distract Sesshomaru.

Koga snarled and launched at Sesshomaru, his hand arching as he slashed from left to right. Sesshomaru jumped back, aiming a kick at Koga's wounded knee, smirking when he heard the crunch of bone. It seemed the shot had only grazed him, but the kick had succeeded him doing what the bullet had started. The Man crumbled to the ground, still wielding his knife, his face in an angry mask.

"If you want to kill me then just do it!" he snarled at Sesshomaru, who smirked back at him.

"You didn't think I'd make this easier for you did you?" Sesshomaru taunted the man, using his earlier words. He kicked the knife from the man's hand, planting his booted foot upon the same hand and pressing it into the ground. Koga smiled even though he was unable to suppress his hiss.

"Do you think pain such as this is anything so someone as sadistic as me?" he said with a laugh, which irked Sesshomaru to no end. He stomped in the Koga's face, breaking his nose and relishing at his pained cry. He raised his foot to look down on the man's blooded face.

"I want you to stand so I can beat the shit out of you!" said Sesshomaru looking down at the creature who had ruined his life…his son's as well as Rin. He stood back, watching as the bloody faced man shakily on one foot, clutching the wall for support.

Sesshomaru snarled blocking as Koga tried to throw a punch, causing him to lose his balance. Sesshomaru caught the man by his hair and slammed him into the wall, which seemed to be made of concrete because the moment he released him Koga was unconscious. The man dropped to the floor, as Sesshomaru picked up the knife…eyeing him with a million thoughts through his mind when he felt a soft pull on his shirt. He looked down to see Daisuke, who turned and pointed towards Rin. She was sitting up with Sango holding her from behind, pressing a cloth to her chest while Suikotsu knelt between her legs, intensely concentrating. Sesshomaru dropped the knife, all thoughts of Koga vanishing as he ran to Rin's side.

Sesshomaru took Sango's space behind, Rin, one hand stemming the flow of blood as the other entwined fingers with her own. She looked up to him and smiled softly, before stiffening. Her lip was bloody from biting it to keep her screams and her eyes were wet with tears.

Koga struggled to rise, glancing to see his gun within reach. He turned onto his belly and crawled towards it but a foot away from his reach a boot slammed down upon his fingers, before kicking the gun away, chuckling at his scream.

All eyes turned to the source of the sound, it was the feminine Jakotsu. He locked gazes with Sesshomaru.

"Hey, can I have this cutie if you're finished? I promise to kill him when I'm done…if he's still alive I mean…" he said with a chuckle.

"Jakotsu, will you reign in your sick pleasure!" Spat Suikotsu before turning back to Rin. Sesshomaru seemed to consider, could he really give another the pleasure of Killing Koga? But then he glanced upon the man and saw the displeasure…the hint of fear and he looked up to Jakotsu.

"Just let me see the body when you're done." He answered and the effeminate man squealed like a female, dragging a cursing,helpless Koga away. Sesshomaru hoped he would have a small taste of what Rin had endured at his hands, at the hands of Jakotsu.

Sesshomaru turned his gaze to Rin, who seemed to become more and more lax in his hold.

SMACK! Rin felt the slap of Suikotsu's hand upon her cheek, to which she jumped, looking into the face of the man who had hit her. It was serious, determined and for a moment she was scared, until she felt the welcoming squeeze of Sesshomaru's fingers. She looked back to the man as he began to speak.

"You can't fall asleep. The baby is stuck in the birth canal, if you lose consciousness, it will suffocate. I know you're tired and weak and you want to sleep but if there is any hope for your baby to live, you have to push…you have to deliver it right now!"

A/N: Chapter 40, Labour. I am sorry koga's death was ambiguous, I just couldn't force myself to write a graphic death for him, I figured your minds will just imagine all the things Jakotsu did to him before he killed him and that would be enough. Lol. Thanks for all the reviews, I am so happy ^_^
