InuYasha Fan Fiction / Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Those We Leave Behind ❯ Aftermath...Four Ways ( Chapter 32 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
have literally tried to write this chapter twelve times. Unfortunately, the longer I put it off the harder it is to write forgive me for not updating in two years. I was going to leave it unfinished...until I got a number of emails in the last few months.

In an earlier chapter, I wrote in a flashback about a boar demon and his pursuit of Kagome and Rin. I had intended to revisit it earlier, but will do so in this chapter. I am including the original flashback as well.

When she woke up, Shuuichi was alternating between petting her hair and rubbing slow, gentle circles on her back. It was nice, completely different from last night, which was also nice, but again different. Last night, it was like he was a sex god she had only just become aware of. This morning, she recognized the guy she had lived down the hall from, the guy who caught her dancing in her underwear. She couldn't tell which one she liked better. Good thing they were part of the same guy.

"Good morning." He spoke. Damn it. Now she would have to actually wake up and leave her comfortable on the bed.

"Mmm."

"I made you breakfast."

"Aw. You're too sweet."

"No. That would be your coffee. I still don't understand how you are able to drink it with four teaspoons of sugar."

"It gets me going."

"I can think of other things to get you going."

Ooh. That smirk. Did he have that before? That's hot. "Could you now? I'm actually thinking of going back to bed."

"You have yet to leave the bed, not that I am complaining, but you did waste all that time sleeping." Despite his jocular tone, he really needed to have a serious talk with her. "Kagome?"

Kagome paused for a few moments, and smiled. The whole experience had definitely turned out a lot better than she had expected. Last night...last night really sucked. She had been heartbroken and humiliated. She knew it was probably a mistake at the time, but was too far gone to care. Turning to the person she felt she could trust the most at that moment, Kagome had thrown herself at the boy whose brains helped save her grades, whose perfect speaking habits drove her insane, whose underwear got her serious cash.

Still covered by the sheets, she turned her head to face him and propped herself up on her elbow, giving him her full attention.

"We're still okay, right?"

She giggled in response. "Was it the amazing sex that tipped it off?"

***A boar demon, despite its enormous size, was able to catch up to the inexperienced miko. She had been horrified when it pierced her side with its ivory tusk. Incapacitated and numb, Kagome could only lay there as the creature dragged the two humans to a nearby cave.

She could feel rocks and twigs cut at her back as the creature dragged her feet first for what seemed like eternity. In actuality it had only been about twenty minutes, but in that time, Kagome desperately tried to find a way to escape.

This time, Kagome knew no one would save her until it was too late. Her friends were too busy in the midst of fighting to even notice she had left, muchless where she was. It held a malicious glint in its eyes as it devised a plan for how to best capitalize on his lucky catch.

He knew Kagome would be unable to prevent any course of action and would probably die soon anyway. Afterall, it took her an extraordinary amount of energy to stay conscious.


Even though her power was too depleted to fight, she had to stay awake. She had to fight for herself and for the sleeping child. Although a part brain told her it would be easier just to slip into the void and let the pain stop, she could not give up.

Despite Kagome's great determination, the boar recreated in Rin's mind the terror instilled from the wolf tribe's brutal attack on her body. He was going to eat the child. He would do it slowly, take pleasure not only in the victory of the hunt, but in the sheer horror he saw in the older woman's face.

As he started to gnaw at the child's stomach, Kagome felt the bile rise as she watched in shock and disbelief. This couldn't happen. Why now? Why so close to the end? And to an innocent child who had already lost so much. Kagome tried, in a failed attempt, to wisp energy at the demon, but in merely annoyed him.

When he momentarily satisfied his hungry stomach, he turned to Kagome to satisfy a different organ altogether. She had lost too much blood to stop him or put up any form of protest. He would have enjoyed knowing he robbed the miko not only of her virginity, but of her self-esteem and her life.

She could not see him, for her vision turned black as she continued to lose precious quantities of blood, but she hear the bastard's self-confident, arrogant, smug footsteps as he headed in her direction, and she could feel his putrid, warm breath on her skin as he whispered what he would do to her and the pleasure he would take in it.

She trembled as she heard his garments drop to the floor. She knew he would have no trouble in removing her clothes seeing as how shredded and bloody they were from dragging her there.

This was how her life would end?

This sucked, and there was nothing she could do to stop him.
She cried one last time and screamed as best she could.***

Sesshoumaru awoke from his nightmare. It was among the worst moments of his life. He remembered the fear permeating that scream so long ago. He remembered the scent of dread and horror linked with blood. The fact that her blood lingered in a place where accompanied by arousal almost physically sickened him.

From what he had heard at the time, the group was facing a challenging group of demons. A group of demons that had tried to overthrow his authority for decades. He never really cared about them before, for they were too weak to defeat him and too cowardly to act, at least until they decided to attack on human girl and the priestess who tried to save her.

By the time she woke up, her clothes were shredded to the point of indecency. Her back bloody from being dragged, her ankles red and bruised from being held too harshly.

But none of that entered her mind. The only thing she felt was disbelief of the situation. It wasn't possible, so why believe it? There was no way the little girl, whose eyes shined so brightly and full of life, whose adventurous and kind manner tamed the coldest of men, died in the savage and brutal way imaginable.

It wasn't possible.

When she turned her body, she would see that the stench had come from the dead body of the demon. She would see the angry crouch of Inuyasha, would be grateful for being in time but pissed she had gotten so close to getting herself killed.

Unfortunately for Kagome, it
was possible. It did happen. Kagome turned and in plain view was an angry dog demon, animalisticly melting the boar demon with his acid, making him beg for mercy. That was not what grabbed her attention. The body of Rin lay dead and helpless, while she had survived. It wasn't fair. How was she going to live with herself?

That was how it started. He felt gratitude that the Kagome would risk everything to protect Rin. That was why he offered to train her, at first. He slowly developed a physical attraction to the young woman, which further developed in love.

He wasn't exactly sure what Inuyasha wished for, but he had inadvertently made himself a god and separated the world into four: Human World, Demon World, Spirit World, and Nether World. Inuyasha wound up ruling the Spirit World with Kikyo, which in all opinions, was regrettable. Miroku and Sango helped guide the Human World. The Nether World was deemed a holding place of souls too volatile and evil to deserve a chance at reincarnation, such as Naraku.

Finally, the Demon Realm was left into Sesshoumaru's capable hands, which is how Sesshoumaru began to lose the love of his life.

Things were not turning out the way Kagura wanted. Not at all. It was time for something drastic. She had thought carrying Sesshoumaru's child would have had a few more advantages than a good lay. A really good one. If she did not receive the benefits she wanted, no one would.

I can't make promises about updates...hopefully soon.
