Chapter 28

 

It was still light out when Ether woke again. She guessed it was near afternoon this time around. A soft whimpering sound caught her attention and she looked towards it. Ether gasped in shock and sadness as the sight of Mimi in her human form met her eyes. It looked like Mimi's arms were broken, she wore a gag and there were chains on her neck, wrists and ankles. Other then the chains, she wore no clothing. Her eyes were forlorn and apologetic.

“I see you have found my newest capture,” Naraku said from the doorway he had entered previously.

Ether covered herself with the remains of her inner kimono and glared at Naraku. “Let Mimi go!” she said through clenched teeth.

Naraku tittered. “If I did that, I wouldn't be able to pass along an important message.” Naraku said as he walked towards Ether.

A bad feeling erupted in Ether's heart and she began to struggle against the chains as they shocked her. She ignored the pain as best she could as she made her feeble attempt to get away from Naraku.

Naraku wrapped his tentacles around the dragoness' wrists once more and pressed them against the bed and over her head. He slid his hands down her chest, pushing the fabric of her only piece of clothing out of the way. He stopped at the stomach, tempted to hit her hard and fast. He pushed away the idea. For now he would just have to be satisfied with what he could do. Naraku grinned, and he could do quite a lot.

“I think it is time we took a step forward my dear,” Naraku said sweetly, a little too sweetly.

Ether paled greatly and began to struggle harder. She shook her head quickly and pulled at her hands. “Nonononono please don't do this! Please no!” Tears formed in her eyes as realization hit her. He was going to do a lot more then just cut her this time. She could hear Mimi struggling as well, but without the use of her arms she wouldn't be much use.

Naraku snickered and lightly cut her breast, right below the nipple. He started sucking the spot just as the blood began to flow.

Ether cried out and kicked at him, she felt her wrists bruise as she tried to pull them free of his tentacles.

Ether's cries and whimpers seemed to arouse Naraku further, for he moaned softly and grabbed her legs.

“I had so wanted our first time to be private, but Sesshomaru must learn who you belong to now,” Naraku looked down at the sight before him. Ether was pinned beneath him, her hands clenched, her cheeks were wet from her tears, her lip was bleeding from where she had bitten it. The cut he had made on her breast was already healed. There weren't any scars on her body, even in the places he had cut into her for her blood.

He used another tentacle to hold her still as he stood to remove his own clothing. He heard the snow phoenix struggle harder when he remounted Ether.

“Pay close attention bird, I want you to give Sesshomaru every,” He positioned his throbbing, stiff length at Ether's entrance. “Exact,” he slammed into Ether, causing her to scream in pain. “detail.” Naraku continued to slam into her.

At one point Naraku took one of his tentacles and began sliding across her skin almost tenderly, only to use it to cut and scratch her. Ether blacked out several times, but Naraku brought her back by nipping at her mating mark, which caused an internal pain in her heart.

“Scream my name bitch,” Naraku whispered, his fangs grazing her ear.

Ether sobbed and shook her head in denial.

Naraku slammed into her, but this time he placed one of his tentacles against her ass. “Scream my name!” He yelled. When she refused him again, he slammed his tentacle into her, causing her to scream his name loudly. Unlike last time, she didn't black out. No, he wouldn't let her. This time she was forced to stay awake. She whimpered, her strength gone. Her body had become numb, but her mind felt ashamed of what was happening. She felt filthy, she felt like there was more she could have done to prevent this.

Naraku moaned as he heard her scream his name. The fresh blood he smelled was wonderful. He pumped into her in both places, just the thought of causing her this much pain brought him close to his orgasm.

He dug his claws into her sides, pulling more whimpers from the abused girl. He smiled and rammed into her several more times before snarling and slamming into her one last time.

Naraku panted and leaned over Ether's abused body. He laid his ear against her stomach, causing her to stiffen and whimper.

“Have no fear my delectable dragoness. I won't harm your pups…yet” Naraku said as he stared at Mimi.

Mimi stared back, her eyes full of rage and hatred. He snickered again and removed himself from Ether, who promptly rolled up into a tight ball facing away from Mimi and Naraku.

Naraku grabbed the chain around Mimi's neck and started dragging her from the room. He paused at the doorway. “I will return shortly my pet, I want to make sure you eat and rest.” With that he was gone.

Ether whimpered and scratched at her skin. It felt like bugs were crawling all over her skin. She was bleeding in places she shouldn't be bleeding. She wanted to die, but she couldn't for the sake of her babies.

`Sesshomaru…' just the thought of him hurt her heart. What would he think of her now? Used the way she had been? Would he hate her for it, wait for her to have their babies and then leave her? She curled up more and cried herself to sleep, her dreams focused on Sesshomaru.

 

Sesshomaru fell to the ground in pain, his mating bond burning in his heart. He clutched at his chest and his breathing became hard.

“It's happening…” Richard said as he kneeled next to Sesshomaru. “Sesshomaru you need to focus. The minute the pain stops you need to focus on Ether and send her comforting feelings. If you don't you may loose her forever.”

Sesshomaru lost tract of how long the pain lasted. The pain grew worse once, he felt his aura fluctuate dramatically and he could almost see Ether in pain. He growled angrily. His mate was in pain and there was very little he could do for her. When the pain started to fade away, Sesshomaru grabbed at what he thought would be Ether's mind. He started sending her thoughts and feelings of how much he loved and cared for her. He sent her images of what he wanted to happen, her taking care of their pups and Rin. Ether playing with Rin on one sunny day. He even showed her the night of their mating and sent her the feelings he was feeling then, how much he wanted and loved her.

He did this for a long time, still on the ground with his eyes shut. After awhile what pain was left faded and what felt like betrayal faded as well. `Does Ether feel betrayed that I hadn't protected her better?'

What Sesshomaru didn't know what that Ether felt she had betrayed him.

Richard sighed as Sesshomaru finally relaxed.

Sesshomaru glared at Richard. “How do you know so much about this?” He asked accusingly.

Richard ran a hand through his hair. “Dragons are taught from an early age what happens if you betray your mate, or when your mate is taken against their will,” Richard started to explain. “You feel an immense pain, one that will not fade until your mate is no longer in pain,” Richard shivered as he remembered feeling Sarah's pain at her coming of age. She had felt betrayed then because he wasn't helping her.

Sesshomaru was silent for awhile and then stood up. “We leave now,” He stated. They had been moving at a rapid pace already until Sesshomaru had fallen in pain.

Kouryou was growling softly. He wanted the half breed trash found and destroyed. Ever since he had met Ether, he had felt a fierce protectiveness of her. Whether it was because of fact she was a dragon or because of how small and fragile she seemed, he didn't know. Being part dragon himself, he was determined to find and protect his cousin.

After all, Kouryou had been raised in a clan mixed with dragons. He had been taught to be protective of female dragons, whether mated to him or not. With the mystery of who her clan was, he felt obligated to protect her.

Kannin on the other hand felt that Naraku needed to die because he had insulted his life long friend Sesshomaru by stealing his mate and ward. Kannin had already ordered the southern lands to be taken under custody, since Sakura had admitted - under extreme torture - she had conspired with Naraku.

The group moved forward again, Sesshomaru setting a faster pace. Hours later, a scent met his nose and he moved forward faster, turning into a blur of light.

He ran into a clearing and there, lying in the center, was the broken Mimi. Naraku had broken her arms once more before dropping her in this clearing, knowing Sesshomaru would find her.

“My…My lord,” Mimi attempted to stand, but the pain from her arms moving made her sink back to her knees. The feathers attached to her arms were burned, so even if her arms weren't broken, she would be unable to fly.

“What has happened?” Sesshomaru demanded as he inspected his phoenix messenger.

Tears filled Mimi's eyes. “I…I failed you my lord. Naraku captured me, forced me into my human form, broke my arms, and…and then.” Words failed her as she remembered the awful scene of her lord's mate being raped.

Sesshomaru waited, but Mimi didn't say anything. He leaned closer. “Tell me Mimi.”

Mimi started whispering what had happened, just as Naraku had told her to do. She hated herself for it and hated Naraku for raping Ether.

With each word Sesshomaru grew more and more angry. “What about Rin?” He asked softly.

“Naraku claimed she was unharmed and would remain that way until Ether was his mate,” Mimi whispered tiredly.

“Why didn't you use your ice powers?” Sesshomaru demanded.

Mimi shook her head. “The chains he uses seals away powers. Every time I tried I would feel a strong shock and a little bit of my power would be sucked away.” Mimi lowered her head in shame. “He was using strong ones on Lady Ether.”

Sesshomaru cursed. That would explain why Ether hadn't used any of her own powers. He stopped suddenly. When had he ever seen Ether use her powers? He pushed the question away, he would wonder about that at a later date.

“We must move faster,” Sesshomaru commanded as he lifted Mimi into his arms. What would he do with his snow phoenix?

“I will take her back to your castle and return shortly,” Kagura said swiftly. Mimi flinched as the wind witch's hands touched her gently.

In a second, Kagura was flying off in the direction of Sesshomaru's castle. Sesshomaru didn't stop to watch, he pressed forward.

Inu-Yasha was holding Kagome on his back as he raced to keep up with Sesshomaru. Kirara was in the air with Sango and Miroku on her back. The two lords were following close behind.

Soon, the barrier surrounding Naraku's castle was found. Kagura arrived soon after the group did.

“I can take down a small portion of the barrier,” She said softly. “I won't be able to hold it open long.”

“If you get it open, I'm sure the rest of us can break it down,” Miroku said as Kirara landed softly next to the group. He looked over to Kagome and she nodded.

Kagura too nodded and placed a hand on the barrier. An opening large enough for two people to walk through opened. Instantly Kagome and Miroku attacked the edges of the opening. Miroku hit it with his staff and Kagome shot a purified arrow at it.

With the two holy powers colliding against the barrier where it was weakest, it didn't stand a chance.

`Wait for me Ether, we're coming,' Sesshomaru thought as the group cautiously entered.

 

Naraku slammed the door open, making Ether jump in fright. “Looks like your precious mate is here to save you,” He hissed angrily. Naraku grabbed the chains holding Ether's wings and began dragging her out of the room.

Ether scrambled to stand on her feet, her hands pulling her ruined inner kimono shut. Every time she was nearly on her feet, Naraku would pull on her chains and she would fall.

“Soon, you'll be all mine,” Naraku kept saying over and over. Ether sobbed softly, trying to get free of the chains only to be shocked over and over again.

It was when she was thrown to the ground, grass tickling her nose, when she realized where she was. She was outside. Her eyes went wide and she attempted to stand. The chains on her ankles tightened suddenly and she whimpered in pain at the shock.

“Ether!” Someone screamed her name. Who? Ether hesitantly looked up to see Kagome standing there with an arrow aimed at Naraku. Ether felt tears roll down her cheeks as she looked at the others.

`Ses…Sesshomaru,' her mind whispered. Her eyes caught his red demonic eyes and she looked away ashamed. She wasn't worthy of him anymore. She was disgusting, used.

“So you have finally arrived,” Naraku said as he wrapped a tentacle around Ether's throat. Ether struggled to get away, resulting in getting a higher shock from the chains. She bit her lip to keep from screaming.

“Release her,” Kouryou demanded as he unsheathed his sword.

“Kukuku, now why would I do that? She's mine now,” Naraku said as he lifted Ether into the air by her neck.

Ether scratched at the tentacle holding her neck deeply, her claws creating large gashes which only healed seconds later.

Another tentacle lifted and started rubbing against her stomach. Ether struggled harder, knowing exactly what was about to happen.

Richard growled angrily and moved to attack Naraku, only to be knocked back by the wasps. “Damn,” He hissed angrily.

“All mine,” Naraku said as the tentacle became rigid.

Ether's eyes lifted and met Sesshomaru's. Time seemed to slow as she saw her mate run for her, slashing at the bugs and tentacles that were coming at him. Her eyes shifted to watch Naraku's tentacle as it pulled back, preparing to slam into her stomach.

`This is it, he'll kill my babies then Sesshomaru,' tears flowed freely down her cheeks, her eyes wide with disbelief. `My babies, he can't take my babies!' she screamed mentally. She watched in slow motion as the tentacle came closer. Ether swore she heard someone scream her name.

“Their mine,” She said, her the white of her eyes bleeding black. A rock shifted next to Naraku's foot when she whispered those words.

“Their Mine!” Ether screamed in rage as the tentacle made contact with her skin. Instantly it was turned to ash, her youki swirling around her angrily. It was one thing to abuse her, to take her against her will, to threaten to kill her mate, but it was a completely other thing to threaten the lives of her unborn children.

Her rage built and built as she heard Naraku curse and attempt to strangle her. She reached up and dug her claws into the offending tentacle and it too turned to ash. Her black eyes looked upon Naraku with disgust.

“You will NEVER touch my children!” she screamed as rocks started to lift into the air. She hadn't felt this angry since her own mother had passed away.

Naraku stumbled back as waves of power swirled around Ether, the chains disintegrating into nothing. He couldn't believe it. This girl, this dragoness, who had never shown an ounce of power this entire time, was now radiating with youki.

Everyone around her was thrown back by the power, everyone except Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru stood his ground, watching as his mate released every once of her anger, her power into the world.

`A mother dragon is very protective of her clutch,' Kouryou thought as he continued to watch.

The power fluctuated around Ether, and she felt a strange light feeling surround her body. Her eyes adjusted suddenly, everything seemed smaller. Gold pupils appeared in the black of her eyes. Her body itched and she dug into the ground with her claws.

She turned her head this way and that, her power radiating off of her. Ether growled low in her throat as she spotted the enemy that had dared to threaten her hatchlings. Her fangs glistened as she watched the small two legged beings attack the creature with ferocity.

Things came out of her enemy and shot at her.

She batted them away easily with her paw. This thing dare think he could harm one of her power? Her size? Her beast snarled and bit one of the tentacles, ripping it apart.

She let loose a fierce roar and reached to grab the being. He jumped back just as her paw whipped at it. She growled and snarled at those that tried to give chase. This was HER prey.

The gold dragoness made chase after the male, her fangs dripping with saliva. Her third eye was completely black as it stared after her prey.

 

When Ether started screaming, her energy swirling around her, the group that had come to save her instantly attacked. It was when the energy surrounding Ether started to push everyone back that the group paused. Right before their eyes, sweet, quiet, calm Ether was transforming into a full blow dragoness. A rather pissed off mother dragoness.

Richard watched with half his mind, the rest focusing on Naraku. Just as he had thought Naraku was using this opportunity to sneak attack the group. Richard parried the blow Naraku sent his way. The mind that had watched Ether was intrigued. It wasn't surprising that Ether had taken her true form, though he supposed she had done it without realizing it.

He heard her snarls, and snarled himself. “What did she say?” Sesshomaru asked as he ran up to Richard, having been pushed back by his mate as well when she chased after the spider.

“She says not to interfere with her hunt.” Richard stated simply.

Sesshomaru's lipped curled and his eyes bled red. His mate was telling HIM to stay out of the fight? This would not due. It was time he joined his mate in battle.

 

Ether growled low in her throat as she focused on the small being in front of her. He was changing, his skin stretching and bubbling. Miasma was filling the area, but she sent waves of her energy out to beat the miasma back at him. The miasma surrounded Naraku, keeping him from her view. She hissed and flapped her wings to send the miasma away. As the purple clouds left, she was surprised to see what was standing there. What she saw made her stop to reconsider her prey. Instead of the two legged mongrel, there was a rather large spider demon.

Ether roared her challenge and his sinister laugh answered. This, would be a fight to the death.
