Chapter 5

 

Yoko felt it. Her pain, her soul in anguish… He had no idea of how he could have ever thought of her to willing said that to him. He had always known since that she loved him, cared for him, would die for him literally so why did he almost leave her again? He ran for another ten minutes wondering how she was going so quickly injured, even if she was used to far too much pain or was too distraught to register it, her legs were fractured, she was slow on energy. But she kept going. After five minutes he noticed a dead lesser snake demon on the ground and her scent and continued on when his ears picked up a small shout in the distance.

`She almost made it out the jungle, that was this big to begin with.'

Yoko smelled her blood shed and stopped his run. There was a wolf demon, mid B class, with her blood on her claws, stalking. And she was stronger than his mate now. Yoko quickly killed the wolf and went off to where he felt the soul of his mate. She was sleeping, unable to continue running from him. He looked around the jungle once he felt out the area she was in and sniffed smelling her blood at the base of a tree and moved to the side a few branches and saw the small opening encased with extremely thick, cold ice.

“Kagome…Kagome…Kagome…”

Yoko knelt down and punched the ice once and felt her wake up, moan, and pass out again. He moved to the other side of the tree seeing her tiring out before she could encompass the entire base with ice and using a grass knife cut into the base of the tree to see her extremely curled up, unconscious. He picked her up seeing her stomach oozing blood and healed the tree going off to the same creek that went completely through the jungle and took care of her.

“I'm the sorry one Kagome, not you.”

Yusuke let out a small yawn and smirked. He could still fall asleep on his watch and wake up before the rest without anyone knowing…Except for Kagome. He looked around noticing she wasn't there, nor Yoko and figured by the demeanor when he returned something happened he didn't need nor wanted to know about. He grumbled to himself that Shio wouldn't be able to hunt for himself if he couldn't walk and knew he would need to eat after expending energy. He got up, killed something, enough for him and Nijuu and sat against a tree waiting for them to wake up.

Yoko watched as Kagome slept, curling back up despite his efforts for her not to, and woke up just after dawn. She wouldn't sleep long at all. When he noticed she realized where she was he saw her look down. He could never read her, at all.

“I didn't think to realize that it wasn't you saying that to me until it was almost too late again. A spell that made you, though you, not you.” He licked her forehead. “I love you Kagome. I want you to be safe, free. But don't leave me because you love me.”

Kagome looked on at the creek. “Should go to sleep for a while.”

Yoko looked down at her. “Kagome…”

She sat up finding it rather difficult from immobility, and looked at Yoko in his eyes for a long time. At him. She then wrapped her arms around him in an embrace and leaned on him, shed one tear letting it roll down his tunic as he licked the only other one away.

“I don't like missing you.”

Yoko was not expecting that to come from her, and wasn't thinking her to word something that way. “What do you mean Kagome.”

She tried hugging him a bit more, but couldn't. Her muscles were fine with it but her bones screamed for her to stop. She eventually found Yoko moving her arms from him and held her just letting her rest on him.

“I need y-“

Yusuke looked around as they ate, Shuichi finishing from roasting some meat. He didn't like to eat demon, but there wasn't much else around and Yoko had made him eat in on many occasions, before he could form his own body within him. He stood up.

“Stop eating now.” He looked around. “We're surrounded.”

Shuichi stood with the rest minus Shio. “How is that possible.”

Yusuke frowned. “I've never sensed this type of youkai before, but still…They can hear us.”

Nijuu growled some. “They're some type of cat and it's not a panther…”

Zokusai looked straight ahead into a set of eyes that apparently didn't think he could look at them. “Lynx youkai.” He growled some. “They're quick and can jump better than Nijuu would like to currently dream of.”

Yusuke spoke. “What the hell is a lynx?”

Shuichi spoke taking out a rose seed from his hair. “African animals that aren't normally pack hunters, meaning once again someone is organizing this and has unique resources that we don't know of.”

Yusuke spoke. “Oi. If you're not from around these parts are you just eavesdropping for the fun of it how you get your kicks or you got something to say…I am waiting.”

A demon, yellowish skin with brown splotches and larger ears than Yoko and large eyes and a slender tail with a tuff of fur at the end emerged. She shot a growl at Zokusai who was glaring at her.

“We're, looking for someone who was lost. Perhaps you could assist us in our search.”

`Liar.' Yusuke looked at her. “Who did you lose.”

The lynx looked the group over. Two kitsune, a human with some canine blood in him, and then three… She didn't know the type of demon they were, but the markings on them…. Ancient, power, cautious.

“She's another lynx, we came for vacation for some exotic” she shot a look at Zokusai. “meats to try out, but she was separated-“

Yusuke looked dead at her. “-tell me what you're lying to me about and I'll make sure to kill you quickly and efficiently because I tire of your games lynx.”

She growled at Yusuke. “Blunt. We were sent for a jewel of power and weren't told who exactly had it, just that a female did. The rest are extendable.”

“Who told you this little task and what are you getting out of it.”

She growled more showing her fangs, very large. “That's none of your concern demon.”

Yusuke gave a gleam at her. `She doesn't know what type of youkai I am.' “As you can tell we don't have a female in our group, but I have no qualms in killing you where you stand.”

She latched out at him. “No you die!”

Yusuke quickly raised his energy and punched the lynx straight in her face causing her to crash through a tree before turning around pushing off of a tree back into the cover of the jungle. Yusuke looked around.

“I can't sense them.”

Zokusai growled bending his knees. “They're getting ready to pounc-“

Zokusai barked/growled as a lynx quickly jumped at him and he met the female in the air grabbing a hold and flipping her over him. The lynx landed on her feet, pushed off and charged at Zokusai who wasn't quick enough and was slashed across his face. He snarled and began his fight.

Kagome hesitated. She looked at Yoko and wanted to tell him everything. She had tried on times before. But she was still scared, of the world, of everything of nothing of him… Of him. She loved him, more than he would ever know, more than words could describe, but she was afraid. And that word itself… She wanted to touch him, to assure him it was okay. To love him like she wants to love him. And how he was looking at her now…

Kagome barley opened her mouth and hesitated again. “I need-“

Yoko watched as she struggled that much to say something to him. He gently kissed her growling a bit because she was still in heat but ignored it. He wanted for her to tell him, but not for her to fight herself this much to.

`You always look smaller than you really are to me when you're struggling with something.' He kissed her gently again. “Let it go.”

Kagome still looked at him. “I believe you Yoko.” She kissed him. “But sometimes, I need you.”

Yoko noticed that she kissed him with hunger and wasn't sure what she was getting at. “I don't understand.”

Kagome bit her lip then kissed him, wanting him, hearing him growl. She gently laid him onto his back and kissed him again, more, and tugged on his tunic when she felt his hand on her wrist preventing her from going further. She looked at him again, bit her lip, again, and kissed him.

“Not even like that Yoko. This isn't about that.” She kissed him again. “I just need you…”

Once Kagome's shirt went over her head again she looked in front of her seeing two demons that she had never seen before, the type, in front of Yoko less than a meter from his face. Yoko didn't move as he looked down at the dark blond set of demons. One smiled at him revealing long fangs. They both stood upright and had a tail with a tuff of furr at the end. Their skin was a light brown.

“Kitsune. We've been watching you for a while and thought that you were just going to fuck that” he licked his lips. “delicious bitch in heat ice and fire set aside, but you.” He laughed some. “I think you might actually like the bitch.”

Yoko growled at the demon showing his teeth. “Refrain from calling my mate a bitch when she clearly is not.”

The demons chucked some with the other male speaking. “Fine fine. Regardless watching you in action with your cunt gave us quite a show. I, doubt now that I've found out that useful information that you'd let us borrow her for a while…But we're not really here for that, side bonus.”

Yoko looked at them closer. `Lion demons.' “State your business.”

The first smiled. “Manoka wants some shinny jewel and told us she has it and we have no problem in killing you to get to her.”

Yoko glared at them. “Fine.”

Kagome looked around as Yoko began fighting the demons, to which the type she couldn't tell. But they weren't from around here and they appeared to be feline of some sort. She didn't have the sense of smell they did, but right now it didn't matter. Something felt wrong and the only thing she could smell was the scent of her and Yoko rutting. When she turned around to see two eyes looking dead at from from the brush directly behind her.

Yusuke didn't like it as he fought. `They're quicker than I am this close up with not a lot of space and I can't use all of my energy with everyone around or I'll just blow them away.' He decked a lynx in front of him. `But if I try to get out of this mess they let me go and don't follow, leaving the rest to get slaughtered and they can't give me space either because they follow. And they know this and planned this. And they're damn cats they can smell Kagome hasn't been here for a while why didn't they just go after them? Because I would be able to sense Yoko fighting and he's not. How damn far away are they not to sense this?'

Katsumo noticed his father frustrated that he couldn't use more of his energy to quickly finish this but also knew, from trying, that they couldn't separate themselves from the lynxes. Having an idea he eventually fought his way over to his father and spoke in some language he had taught him that neither used often, just seemed…More natural to them.

“Dad these things can jump, Nijuu's a fool we can get him to jump up in the air as an open target and hope two of the damn lynxes jump up so that you can just fire a gun at them and kill them quickly before they get to him.”

Yusuke nodded. “Do it and some how discreetly tell Nijuu. These things can hear better than they can.”

Katsumo rolled under a massive thorn that seemingly grew out of no where and noticed Nijuu losing his battle against the two lynxes that were attacking him one after another. He punched the both of them off and spoke quickly.

“Jump and do not move around crazily as high as you can.”

Nijuu remembered his lesson that knowing his father still wasn't over with and as soon as Katsumo nodded in the distance fighting three lynxes he jumped up. Seeing the leaves quickly go past him before he could get far he noticed two lynxes, the same two annoying him from before, on both sides of him as soon as he cleared the tree tops-

And two powerful compact precise jakai guns form Yusuke oblerating them with a quick shrill shout followed by a few drops of blood from himself dropping to the ground. He smirked as he landed in a tree. He was glad he listened otherwise he really would have been dead.

Yusuke looked out of the corner of his eye seeing Nijuu land and spoke. “Zokusai find your father now.”

Zokusai growled at the lynx in front of him and lunged forward almost in a pounce only to have the cat pounce on him snickering and jumping back. Allowing Nijuu from his tree branch to pounce on the lynx. He turned into his kitsune form and ran off.

Yusuke looked around. Six lynxes, four on his side and him.

`I need more space.' “Nijuu Katsumo take Shio and Shuichi out as soon as you can, find a safe area” he decked another lynx daring to pounce on him. “and guard them.”

Yusuke glared at a lynx that had managed to swipe across his back and held his anger in check. He saw Nijuu jumping away, or trotting- getting away with agility holding onto Shio and Katsumo running off quickly with Shuichi. Yusuke smiled that of a warrior eyes narrowing some. It was clear.

Yusuke raised his aurora around him easily punching into the skull of a lynx in front of him tossing the body into two moving at him quickly. He turned around sending a shotgun at the three to his left effectively killing them wasting no energy then turned to the three in front of him, punched one down kicked another through a set of trees not sure if the lynx would stop moving alive or not and sent a small jakai gun at him and snapped the neck of the third. Seeing the one he punched down trying to run off he easily ran in front of her forcing her down and stood on her stomach pressing down harshly causing her to shout.

“Tell me something good or I will kill you.”

The lynx shouted out. “I'll do whatever you want demon- master yes that's it master whatever you want just spare my life!”

Yusuke put more force on the stomach getting blood to come out of her mouth. “Useful information now.”

The lynx hassled to breathe. “We were told by a panther demon named Manoka, she's somewhere in Japan we don't- I don't know we couldn't pronounce the name of the place but we sensed that she was hiding from us. Before we started stalking your group we found out that Manoka is working for a human that has power-“

Yusuke saw the lynx about to flex her muscles to claw at him and quickly applied more pressure having his foot go through her body, dead. He flicked the blood off of his foot hearing his `father' laughing at him in his head, grumbled to himself and took off after Zokusai.

Kagome let out a shout having a lion pounce on top of her. She hit the ground harshly feeling her ribs stressed from a full sized female lion on top of her and saw the paw raised in a swipe ready across her chest as a large five tailed fox pounced on top of the lion knocking her quickly off of the small fire ice demon immediately biting down at the neck and after a few moments had a mouth filled with blood as the lioness demon let out a faint roar and died.

Kagome fell down standing on her third try to see Zokusai with his normal predatory red eyes locked onto the soon to be dead female lion he was larger than and on top of. She stood quickly rolling out of the way seeing another female lion that looked almost the same as a non demon lion slash at her head. She got up gritting her teeth finding the lion much quicker than her and much larger. She tossed a ball of ice at the lion running at her finding it to swat it out of her face and have it stuck on the bottom of the paw. Kagome quickly ran at the lioness instead and rolled under her digging her claws into its side and going down around the underbelly to the other side. The lion let out a loud roar and swatted at Kagome having her quickly put up a block and cursed feeling her right arm snap as another lioness pounced on her from behind. Her shout was absorbed by the grass feeling her ribs about to give way when Zokusai once again pounced onto the lioness on top of her.

Zokusai quickly got in front of his mother snarling at the now two lionesses in front of him. He saw from behind his mother, dwarfed in comparison, standing behind him and didn't like the smell of blood coming from her. He growled something at her forgetting she couldn't understand him and soon saw the lioness on his left attack at him. Having to meet it head on he slashed at the lioness the same time she did getting knocked to the other one and felt the lion try to bit around his neck. He growled louder instead of letting out a yelp and bit at her front paw infusing it with fire causing her to roar. He quickly got upright neck bleeding seeing the other lioness to pounce on him. He rolled with it and flipped her over him and ran after his mother only to find a javelin incased in fire spear through the back leg of the lioness behind him. He slashed with fire at the back legs of the one almost attacking his mother, her choosing to protect him instead knocking her aside getting in front of his mother once again. But this time, his father still in his humanoid form was next to him. A male lion, upright, laughed.

“Now this is something you don't see everyday. Someone defending trash getting taken out.” He snickered some with blood on his claws and a very deep slash in Yoko's chest. “I'm not sure if I'd have a use for fox pelts but I can surely sell them none the less-“

Zokusai attacked on his father's call while Yoko quickly grew a small death tree inside of the lioness his mate had already injured. Hearing the creature roar out in pain as he infused more of his energy into it he used his other hand to keep the male lion back with the rose whip when a blur suddenly came past and the lion fell dead, a large hole through his chest in two areas. Yoko saw Yusuke move onto the lioness Zokusai was fighting easily killing her then slowed down and went in front of him.

“Where's the rest.”

Yusuke looked seeing Kagome behind Yoko breathing very slowly arms looking worthless and Yoko himself bleeding heavily from his chest and hoped that it didn't go through his ribs. He couldn't tell with Zokusai.

“I told Katsumo to find a safe place out of the jungle, something's not right about it.” He walked ahead. “Okay.”

Yoko growled some. He wasn't sure how that lion temporarily bested him to get a slash this deep on him. He heard the slow, loud breathing coming from his mate and didn't want her to walk, but couldn't carry her without killing himself, and knew she would do something stupid if he died and didn't want her to be left alone. And he would have had his son carry her…

Yoko went over to Zokusai trying not to whine. He looked up moving some of the tree branches aside to get moon light in the area and saw that his neck had teeth marks all over it, as if someone had tried suffocating him but he got out of it. But not quick enough. His body was injured all over as well and smelled more of feline blood than his own, astonishing enough considering his injuries, all over. He was proud of this son.

“Catch up with your mother and Yusuke.”

Yusuke saw Zokusai trot up next to his mother and still couldn't tell how injured he was. After about ten minutes he saw Yoko next to him and without even looking could tell he was injured far more than he let on and wondered how powerful the other cats would have been at first. The lynxes were all about a very very high B class, maybe low A class, they were easy for him.

`Laugh it up old man. I was starting to like killing them and was going to probably do some messed up crap to that one lynx.' He grumbled to himself. `And yes I heard you laughing…'

Yoko heard Yusuke mutter something about an old bastard and ignored it. They couldn't travel far tomorrow, the way Yusuke briefly spoke it seemed as if he was the only non injured one. The only injury he did see on him…Was a scratch that left welts across his face. The rest were light scratches from twigs and a bruise on his arm. He was Toushin after all.

When the finally exited the jungle after what seemed two hours they walked for about forty minutes and came to a very small forest. Three minutes into it they saw a small house and entered with Yoko shaking his head.

The rest were injured and waiting around for further instructions with Shuichi unable to stay awake, being mainly human, and Nijuu cleaned and bandaged. “Kit you truly can't go for five minutes being dirty.”

Nijuu looked up at his father as Shio, still unable to walk, sat next to Katsumo trying to bandage him making it clear that the unconscious one was the only one who knew how to. “Father I know I should have waited but I had blood on me in many areas and dirt. The only thing Shuichi said before he passed out was that he could not stay awake any longer and to try to be smart and stay alert inside of the house. But when he said that I wasn't inside of the house yet so I cleaned first.”

Yoko growled at him and Yusuke spoke. “This thing doesn't have piping or something.” He sighed. “Tough it out, clean in the morning. You all gonna live or what?”

Katsumo spoke keeping his eyes closed as Shio wrapped his leg missing a large amount of skin and muscle. “We're fine and does he know what he's doing?”

Yusuke hit him on the head. “Heck no and all three of you go to sleep.” He turned seeing Yoko walking outside with Zokusai still in fox form and turned seeing Shuichi awake. “Yo.”

Shuichi woke up after hearing Yoko in his head and saw Kagome glaring at him and briefly closed his eyes. `Separated and he still controls my life. And Kagome clearly knows why he woke me up.' “Hello Yusuke.” He looked around seeing a small area in the one room house that had a wall that gave some privacy. “Would you please come with me Kagome.”

Yoko led his son to a small pond behind the house a few minutes off seeing him struggling to even walk on all fours now.

“Change back.”

Zokusai did so with a growl directed at no one. Yoko looked him over as he took of his shredded clothing and cleaned him off. Aside of what was left of his neck he had gashed all over and his legs were missing a large amount of muscle, and it looked as if an animal ate at his stomach some. After about four minutes he saw him sleeping, not unconscious and did what he could for him. He made two bucket leaves and filled them with water and growled some. Zokusai opened his eyes still on his side and looked at his father.

“Take these back to Shuichi.”

Shuichi was desperate for Kagome to black out. He was fine doing so, wanted to help her and didn't really know why she didn't like him at all, but having her look dead at him and not even in a glare was too much for him right now. And he was tired. He took off her pants now having her completely nude-

`They rutted just before the attack-`

Zokusai growled at him setting two leak proof buckets of water down and promptly went to sleep away from the others. Shuichi let out a sigh turning one of the handles back into the original plant and attached it onto a large exposed gap in Kagome letting it feed off of her causing her to black out. He cleaned her off using a leaf to scrape the semen off of her inner legs that had dripped out knowing Yoko would normally never leave it there because he would never leave something so valuable laying around. He felt up her inner thigh for any more fractures only finding one and set a small plant then felt up the middle of her stomach for cracks in her ribs and stopped just under her right breast feeling a rib almost protruding. He pushed down on it hoping it would heal come morning time. He felt down her left side stopping numerous times to help heal her body. When he eventually made it down towards her hip and stomach he paused seeing an odd bruise on her stomach and felt its outline.

“There's something inside of her.”

Yoko had been looking over his shoulder for about five minutes and had spotted it as well. “What is it.”

“I couldn't tell without removing it, but doing so now wouldn't be wise.” Shuichi put her shirt back on from a plant that was holding it up to dry then her mended pants that were clean as well and took the remaining bucket to clean himself with. “Thank you.”

Kagome woke smelling everyone in the house clean and smirked on the inside figuring Nijuu took another bath. She then, on Yoko's lap who was still asleep, looked up at the sun from the window-

Kagome got off of Yoko worried even more. He always woke the moment she moved from him even if it were a rare occasion that he slept longer than her. Which only happened when he was injured. But she could only see on bandage, across his chest. Seeing everyone else back asleep, truly asleep and Yusuke on watch, asleep as normal, she went outside.

Yoko opened his eyes feeling Kagome off of his lap and standing in a corner away from everyone eyes closed, clearly awake. And he looked down to the side seeing a pile of cut and cleaned meat on a broad leaf. He looked at her. He didn't tell her he was this injured because he didn't want to worry her, and he didn't want to have her do anything with her being injured either but she had.

`How does she always get past Yusuke?'

Yusuke came back in with ragged meat for everyone to eat save Kagome and Yoko, with a small cooked pile for Shuichi. He saw Yoko look at him and chose to ignore his glance. He really didn't know that Kagome just woke up and went past him sleeping. He spoke figuring Shuichi would either hear of it later or was faking being asleep…Would hear of it later.

“The lynxes said that they were hired by some panther demon named Manoka but felt that she was lying to them and something to do with a human before I killed her.”

Yoko looked at yusuke, seeing Kagome with her eyes still closed. “The lion had informed me arrogantly without any pressure that Manoka wanted the jewel. She is a panther demon that's contracted by the people that have been in the group of humans that control the dark tournament for the past two centuries.”

Yusuke spoke. “So then you know where to find this Manoka then?”

Yoko growled some. One of his wounds was almost burning. “No, but since your dark tournament Yusuke some fled, others died. Only two are still alive. One isn't in Japan, the other is in Tokyo and owns half of the city. The half Sesshomaru doesn't.” He saw Yusuke didn't know. “Sakio.”

“Wait, Koenma back then even confirmed that he was dead. When we knew Koenma was Koenma and not one of them four.”

“And Sakio also has a wield of influence for being a mortal human, to which he is.”

“And we're still positive that Rekai is still temporarily broken and can't hunt us down for killing humans.”

“Rekai is still out of commission unless the barrier falls or something large as that. Sakio will have his own repercussions if we kill him.” Yoko closed his eyes. “Which is why we wait until we are completely healed then go to him, when we can hope to make our living debut and that the shadow demons were either by coincidence or didn't make it back alive.”

Yusuke waited for a while before speaking. The rest started to wake up, eat, and go back to sleep minus Zokusai.

“He gonna be okay.”

“He's regaining his energy, he'll be fine with some time.”

Yusuke still looked at Yoko. “Hey I'm still learning from you. You are older than everyone in this room put together at least tri fold. We're about one hundred fifty years or so together and you're at least six hundred.” Yusuke had a smirk on his face. “Robbing the cradle there Yoko. Can be her Daddy too-“

Yoko sighed and Kagome blushed some and he decided to ask. “Every time you bring up Kagome and my ages and compare me to being that to her is the only time probably in her life that she's ever blushed.”

Yusuke laughed some. “That is something between me and Kagome here she told me once a long time ago when we had… Actually not too long after those two were born and Shuichi had to go to his university. And I had gotten back from a fight Koenma sent me on and foolishly got injured and she used some makai plants that were lying around remembering you told her they were good for pain relief, but she made the tea way too strong and I got high off of drinking it and she got high from the fumes.” He smiled at Kagome who still had her eyes closed. “When she said something. I was the one talking like a fool the entire time and am damn glad she never told Kieko any of it. She was perfectly fine really, like she is now. Just that from no where she said that, I brought up ages, she blushed and laughed a bit then excused herself.”

Yoko smiled at Yusuke. “Tell me.”

Yusuke laughed some. “You are hooked on this! But I can't! It's gonna die with the both of us.” Yusuke wondered outside. “I'll be back. Know you foxes except for the broken Nijuu don't eat in front of people that aren't blood and Kagome just doesn't eat in front of people.” He stuck his head inside of the open window next to Kagome. “Later Daddy.”

Yoko saw the blush spread across Kagome's face and her walk towards the small private section of the house and sit down. Yoko smiled. He somehow managed to love her more every day-

“You need to eat.”

Yoko looked up at her. “I like eating, Kagome.”

Kagome sighed standing in front of him. “Stop thinking about rutting, don't do anything like that ever again and eat.” She set a bucket of clean water next to him and walked off. “Now.”

Nijuu woke up and let out a loud yawhn, smiled at the pile of food in front of him and started eating. He noticed Katsumo look up at him.

“What?”

Shio tried standing only to have Katsumo set him down. “You can't walk yet so don't…Because you're a dufus-“

“-I'm not a dufus Nijuu's a dufus-“

“-I'm not a dufus Shio really is you know that-“

“-okay.” Katsumo cut them all off, including himself. “Some in this room are still sleeping.”

Shio looked around finishing his food. Shuichi was still asleep as was Yoko, both had waken up. Kagome was awake or half asleep. His father wasn't in the room. He looked at Katsumo.

“Hey brother was this house abandoned or was the owner just not in.”

Katsumo looked around. “The owner wasn't in. You guys should all eat and rest up. We'll probably move out as soon as Shio can walk”

Nijuu licked his claws clean. “Yeah I still kinda feel like dead meat.” He curled up on his side. “Later!”
