Ritalin_writer: welcome back and I hope you’re glad to be back. If not…get out. Anyway I hope we’re all waiting patiently for this chapter that I cut out of the last one but either way it was worth the cliffy because we have a lot of fun.
~~~last time~~~
. The calamity of every turmoil you ever faced seems to become irrelevant to the fact you are simply one out of many and only one. That though you may be unique your loss will be another’s gain and so and so forth.
Now Souta and Rin watched as a clawed hand came plummeting down on them.
“Die!”
~~~Now~~~
But that was when the angel descended.
There was a clash of metal and a brief impact of some sort as the two teens closed their eyes and held one another’s hands. There was no pain there was a brush of wind and the sounds but there was no pain. Well at least on Rin’s behalf. Souta’s leg was still crushed under the boulder so he was feeling something.
The two looked up as the sun glistened across a blade that was almost as big as its wielder. Silver hair was flung about as the wind rushed past him from the sheer impact. The monstrous demon’s claws were halted by the massive sword that dog-eared angel wielded.
“Inu…yasha…” Souta mumbled before wincing in pain remembering the pain. The silver haired hanyou turned only slightly, his bright golden eyes defiant as ever and filled with a renewed ferocity.
“Hang in there.” He growled before redirected his attention towards the demon that had ravaged the city.
“You think to destroy me do you not?” It growled.
Inuyasha growled, roaring as he pushed back with every ounce of his demonic strength. Then he made a swing for the demon that was suddenly gone.
“What?” Inuyasha looked around spotting the demon yards away from where he’d previously been standing.
The demon chuckled darkly, mocking the hanyou’s bemusement.
“It baffles you doesn’t it? That something of my seemingly cumbersome size is able to move at a rate that reached that of light itself?”
Inuyasha sneered. “Nope, just makes you more of a challenge.” After saying that he hastily moved to grab up the boulder and the demon made its move.
Inuyasha saw it out of the corner of his eye. The descent of the clawed hand as he lifted the boulder with ease and hurled it at him.
“Take this!” Inuyasha picked up the boulder, thinking that if he merely distracted the demon with it that he could snatch up the Tetsusiaga and slash its head off.
The demon however seemed to sense everything that had just crossed his opponents mind and altered his course to better evade the mental plan.
As Inuyasha expected the demon it’s hand clashed with the boulder before breaking into millions of tiny pebbles and as expected it’s head was outstretched to take a bite out of them.
“See you in hell!” With that Inuyasha swung Tetsusiaga as masterfully as he had when fighting other demons and the blade was just a few feet from the jugular when the demon’s head descended another level so that instead of the blade being aligned with the throat it was aligned with its jaws.
Fangs met steel and the hanyou found even his strength was no match for the powerful vice like grip of the ogre’s fangs.
“What the-” baffled that his attack had been thwarted Inuyasha barely had a moment to contemplate what he could do before he was lifted off his feet and who knew how many stories into the air, dangling by the hilt of his sword.
Rin having not moved from Souta after Inuyasha had freed him she got up looking around for something she could use as a weapon and only seeing the pebbles, rocks and large debris strewn across the concrete.
Determined to help she gathered them in her slightly bleeding fist and stood as close to the edge as she dared and began tossing them at the demon’s head. Her goal was to hit it in the eye but its height prevented it and the rocks bounced feebly off of its lower jaw.
Inuyasha struggled feeling his sweaty palms losing their grip on the hilt and being dangled in the air by only that wasn’t the position he’d intended.
“Of course you did not intend for this to happen. I am Goshinki I read your mind. Read every thought you poised against me and will continue doing so if you do not concede defeat right here and now Inuyasha. I would detest being responsible for the death of the Great dog demon’s half bred son.”
The mockery in his tone could not be missed as he blatantly taunted the hanyou before turning his beady gaze to the one throwing stones at him.
“Mortal you tempt fate and thus shall have it to you.”
Goshinki raised a clawed hand and Inuyasha saw his intentions as if reading his mind. He had to stop it. But once more he was thinking and Goshinki’s free hand went to grab Inuyasha in a bone crushing grip.
A pained scream tore from his throat was he felt his insides trying to find space for everything when it was being compressed. Now he knew what a car being compressed felt like. Blood streamed from his chest as his ribs began to break, a few poking through his sides, drenching his clothing.
If he didn’t think fast there wasn’t going to be anything left to save or be saved. In a desperate attempt to regain his freedom and mobility he released the Tetsusiaga and drenched his hands in his blood and flexed his claws.
“Blades of Blood!”
Crimson blades flew from his hands as he swiped at the air and once more Goshinki predicted his movements turning his head out of the direct line of fire and continuing to crush the life out of the smaller being in his grasp.
Inuyasha couldn’t even scream, releasing a gurgling growl before his entire body went limp, and Goshinki’s right hand lifted while his left was covered in blood.
With the raised hand Goshinki chuckled.
“Inuyasha it is a pity you shall not be here to witness the day demons rule. But even so you were never meant to. Half demons will be unwelcome as are humans who might merely be kept for our pleasures.” He said darkly as he moved once again to slaughter the children.
“But seeing as you will not be alive your uses for this pitiful excuse for a sword will be no longer.” He growled before fully bringing the weight of his jaws onto the blade that shattered. The pieces falling to the ground and scattered with the debris.
Rin screamed as the massive hand came to end her life, clenching her eyes shut so she wouldn’t have to watch it when she felt something, or rather someone crash into her tossing her away from the blow.
Souta had somehow regained his footing bracing himself with the wall when his left leg was mangled and bleeding. Now Souta crumpled on the floor the purple hand a mere foot from his right leg as his left was slightly lifted. Rin crawled over to him tears pouring from her eyes, leaving clean lines on her cheeks that were clouded with dirt and dust.
“Rin…Runaway…Hurry I can’t move much more.” Souta muttered his breathing raspy and his left eye was only partially open. Rin silently shook her head incapable of saying anything even if she wanted to as she tried unsuccessfully to make sense of herself.
“Troublesome pest your death is imminent. Now D–” The rest of Goshinki’s sentence was choked out and those that were around to watch saw as the seemingly unconscious demon in his hand had embedded his entire forearm into his neck.
There was a massive pulsing in his hands now and the hanyou’s body was becoming so unbearably hot he didn’t know if his hide would melt around it.
A low, sinister growl erupted from Inuyasha’s gullet and even though his head was bowed there was a strange transition of terrifying vibrations.
“Why are you not dead?” Goshinki snarled baring his fangs, his maroon eyes flashed insistently trying to pick up a train of thought. But picking up a thought when the only words parading through the hanyou’s brain was ‘kill, death and blood’ and there was a massive lustful craving for blood.
“What are you?” Goshinki snarled throwing the smaller body at the nearest wall.
That was his first mistake.
Inuyasha seemed to go flying into the wall without any means to arrange his body into a counter strike position. However he didn’t need to as he smashed into the wall causing a cloud to erupt from where he’d collided.
As the dust cloud cleared Inuyasha became visible clinging effortlessly to the mutilated building. An animalistic growl erupted from him, a sound that seemed too big for his chest to accommodate but resonated solely from his slowly escalating rapture for blood.
Goshinki snarled reaching for the smaller demon whose crimson eyes focused on him with a predatory glimmer. Abruptly there was a spray of blood as Inuyasha disappeared and Goshinki’s entire arm was suddenly ripped right down the middle.
Souta’s eyes widened as he witnessed the gore before him. Seeing all the tendons and veins in the demons arm and having only seen hand drawn pictures of them in science class. But as he watched them, drenched and spewing with blood he felt his stomach lurch and he turned away to empty his bowels on the floor.
The purple ogre recoiled, howling in pain as he looked at the remainder of his right arm. But he didn’t have long to assess the damage as the silver haired hanyou continued his murderous rampage by aiming for his face.
“I refuse to be killed by a mere half demon!” He roared as if this in itself was an insult as he opened his jowls wide.
In mid air Inuyasha was unable to maneuver very well and his course could not be altered in the given space he had between himself and Goshinki. He fell head first into the demons mouth and was sealed in.
Goshinki’s jaws went to work chewing and crushing and a steady stream of blood pooled around his lower jaws and finally he made a sound that was simulated to something being swallowed.
Souta panted as he crawled into a seated position, his back to a wall. Rin had collapsed to her knees and was shivering like a scared rabbit, curled into her self for protection against other outside elements. He had to call for help. He spotted his bag only two feet away and he gritted his teeth as he slowly crawled towards it. Snatching up the strap he pulled himself up again and sifted through it finding his cell phone and pressing the emergency dial up for his sister’s job. He took a brief glance back as he also called 911.
~~~Elsewhere~~~~
Kismet in fact had only called her father and the man on the other line sounded like he was pushing one hundred. No harm done no foul.
Hojo smiled weakly. “See I told you she couldn’t have been doing something bad. She was just telling her father she was doing alright. However,” he said his expression dropping to sorrowful as he turned to Kismet who had popped her contact back in after they’d entered.
“I cannot excuse the fact that you cheated to get here.”
Kismet seemed to recoil as if he threatened to turn her out into the streets.
“Because of this I must demote you to secretary, I should tell the institute of your misdeeds but I don’t think being a rat would help the situation any. You will be Kagome’s personal secretary.” He concluded.
Kagome was slightly perplexed and the sweat drop didn’t help the effect any.
The silence was broken though filling the air with the sound of the office phone in the next room. The insistent beeping continued as they all trooped into the office and Hojo picked up the receiver.
“Moshi moshi, Shikon genetics facility.” He answered.
(Return of the sparkles…)
His smile faded and his expression turned to full throttle disbelief and then the other end clicked.
Kagome didn’t like his expression and as his gaze focused on her of all people she felt her chest clench and strangle her.
“Who was it? It couldn’t have been a business call that was way too short.” Kismet filled the heavy silence but it wasn’t amusing.
“It was Souta, your younger brother.” Hojo said. The look on his face was the same as child gets after witnessing their dog being run down.
“He’s in the middle of a demon rampage…”
~~~with Souta~~~
“There that takes care of one problem.” He leered returning his attention to Souta and Rin who sat petrified on the ground uncertain of which was enemy and ally.
Goshinki had not taken one step before he lurched forward in the same fashion Souta had when he threw up. However, his stomach wasn’t throwing up it was being thrown out. A large organ spilled out of a gaping hole in the demons abdomen, blood gushed in a deadly beautiful waterfall, cascading to the ground and creating a river in the street, filling every nook and cranny with blood.
The horror on the demon’s misshapen face was evident as a blood soaked demon crawled around inside him, slashing, clawing and biting everything that he could touch and feel. In a desperate attempt to remove the demon Goshinki plunged his clawed hand into the hole trying to recover what he thought he’d made into a meal.
However thanks to his size Inuyasha evaded all attempts at recapture as he began to hastily make his ascent through Goshinki’s chest.
“This cannot be I cannot die!”
But he sure as hell was about to as the little crawling lump that was making its way through his throat found its way through and into the cranium by tearing the protective tissue around it. Goshinki’s tongue lolled over the side as his head was invaded and the intruder was slowly dismembering him from the inside. He fumbled trying to form words but only managing a deranged gurgle as he began running in blurs of speed, smashing his head repeatedly against the surrounding buildings to rid himself of an unrelenting headache.
He slumped to the ground first to his knees and then fully on the ground, if the wounds to the head hadn’t killed him then being impale by the broken half on Inuyasha’s sword accurately slicing through his chest had.
Sirens suddenly became evident as the cops began to gather at the scene. Some even dared to poke at the head to see if it was really dead. In response there was a sickening crunching as out popped a blood sullied Inuyasha.
His silver hair once more that uncanny crimson and there wasn’t one inch of his body not coated in slipper red lubricant.
There was a screeching as a dark blue almost black Mercedes pulled up and nearly bashed its way through the mob of cops, people and cars.
They were living up to the stereotype that Asians couldn’t drive.
Kagome flew out of the drivers seat as she ran towards the complex leaving a disgruntled Hojo in the passenger seat, and a ruffled Kismet and Sango in the back.
Kagome frantically pushed her way through the shoving arms and shuffling legs breaking through enough to where she could see beyond the barricade of men.
A loud screeching roar could be heard and she flinched at the masculine sound as six men surrounded Inuyasha and began to pump him full of electricity using their tasers.
The screaming hanyou seemed to grow more enraged that he was being damaged and he pulled out of the circle of human bodies to bring his claws heavily down on the first man in his way.
The man was literally spilt in half and seemed to dissipate on the spot disappearing in a spray of blood that only added to the demons ferocity. The men immediately seeing their comrade struck down so effortlessly forgot protocol and began to open fire on the man before them.
Bullets however seemed to bounce right off if not they were planted and the man didn’t acknowledge them at all. Instead he rounded about and went for them as well lifting up a large slab of concrete that had fallen from the building during the battle and hurled it their way.
They hurriedly scuffled out of the way but one man was pushed to the ground in the haste to escape and was crushed under it. The crowd believing they were under attack again and the victor of the previous fight wasn’t there to help them began to scream and run.
The new sounds made the crimson ears planted on top of Inuyasha’s head swivel to greet them and predatory instincts once more overran his common sense though he had little of it left.
Disregarding the remaining police officers he charged blindly into the crowd looking for suitable prey and all the masses flashing before his vision were all ripe for the picking. He was about to lunge for them when something grabbed him roughly from behind. The animal in him roared, wanting freedom and knowing it could attain it without a problem. But the Inuyasha’s buried beneath the will of the beast recognized this touch. Knowing the one trying to restrain him wasn’t someone he intended to harm any time soon. Instead with this new revelation the demonic side of him turned about in a fluid motion that caused a gasp to arise from the raven haired woman.
Kagome’s breath hitched as she found herself staring into crimson eyes. The demon that had saved her had become something that seemed beyond saving. But her will to try would not allow her to run from him. He needed right now. Needed to be calmed. Like a dog having been beaten too many time, he needed that loving touch to reinstall trust.
“It’s alright Inuyasha, I’m here. Don’t be scared.” She cooed trying to reassure him, trying to reach him. But even so she felt as if he were slowly pulling away. And she also felt that she didn’t want him to.
Inuyasha wanted to move forward but he felt all the hateful memories he had resurface. Every memory of Kikyo flashing before his very eyes, every good moment he’d shared and then the day of her death.
He didn’t want that again.
Never again would he let that happen.
He wouldn’t let his mistake kill this woman too. The demonic energy sensed this, sensed the feelings that he’d buried and seized them examined them and tried to figure them out. It recognized only one of such feelings.
Lust…
He wanted and he wanted very badly.
Kagome found herself being pulled into a forceful embrace, her clothing having no hopes of escape immediately soiled with blood and the stains on her shirt would prove to be permanent.
“Inuyasha?” She tried to twist in her grasp but it only tightened, crushing her front to his and his arms taking her completely. He smothered her as he buried his face in the fresh scent of her hair and unconsciously claiming her mentally as his own.
The demon side of him didn’t profess love, it seized it. Took hold of it and claimed it as its own. This belonged to him.
The human side of him however valiantly fought. He actually took into account that she was a mortal woman that she would inevitably age and die. She may be the most beautiful rose in the world, but she would eventually wither and die like one.
Kagome looked at the deranged face that was trying to take over and yet being forced back. She needed to help along the process.
She wrapped her arms around the hanyou that stilled in her attempt to hold him. Since she wasn’t as tall her arms went around his waist and massaged his shoulder blades that slowly began to loosen with her touch. Through the soaked fabric she could feel every tense and pulsing muscle beneath it and she outlined them tenderly with her fingers.
“Ka…gome…” He murmured as the crimson finally faded to white, the blue pupils become their bright and ravishing gold once again, bright with intelligence and skill.
“Glad to have you back Inuyasha.” Kagome said as she tried to pull away again, not so because she didn’t want to ruin her cloths anymore than they already were but she felt a warm sensation creeping through her stomach and traveling through her when she held him.
“You’re really red.” The blood soaked hanyou commented, scarce traces of a smirk on his face as he looked at the flustered woman.
“You would be too if you just held someone coated in blood! Besides I just drove from my job with my boss in the car at top speed I don’t even have my driver permit yet!” she yelled defensively.
“Um, Kagome?”
The two turned as they were being watched by an entire mob of people, cops and three other people they were going to have to answer too. One of which was glaring slightly at the dog eared man….

Sirens suddenly became evident as the cops began to gather at the scene. Some even dared to poke at the head to see if it was really dead. In response there was a sickening crunching as out popped a blood sullied Inuyasha.
His silver hair once more that uncanny crimson and there wasn’t one inch of his body not coated in slipper red lubricant.
There was a screeching as a dark blue almost black Mercedes pulled up and nearly bashed its way through the mob of cops, people and cars.
They were living up to the stereotype that Asians couldn’t drive.
Kagome flew out of the drivers seat as she ran towards the complex leaving a disgruntled Hojo in the passenger seat, and a ruffled Kismet and Sango in the back.
Kagome frantically pushed her way through the shoving arms and shuffling legs breaking through enough to where she could see beyond the barricade of men.
A loud screeching roar could be heard and she flinched at the masculine sound as six men surrounded Inuyasha and began to pump him full of electricity using their tasers.
The screaming hanyou seemed to grow more enraged that he was being damaged and he pulled out of the circle of human bodies to bring his claws heavily down on the first man in his way.
The man was literally spilt in half and seemed to dissipate on the spot disappearing in a spray of blood that only added to the demons ferocity. The men immediately seeing their comrade struck down so effortlessly forgot protocol and began to open fire on the man before them.
Bullets however seemed to bounce right off if not they were planted and the man didn’t acknowledge them at all. Instead he rounded about and went for them as well lifting up a large slab of concrete that had fallen from the building during the battle and hurled it their way.
They hurriedly scuffled out of the way but one man was pushed to the ground in the haste to escape and was crushed under it. The crowd believing they were under attack again and the victor of the previous fight wasn’t there to help them began to scream and run.
The new sounds made the crimson ears planted on top of Inuyasha’s head swivel to greet them and predatory instincts once more overran his common sense though he had little of it left.
Disregarding the remaining police officers he charged blindly into the crowd looking for suitable prey and all the masses flashing before his vision were all ripe for the picking. He was about to lunge for them when something grabbed him roughly from behind. The animal in him roared, wanting freedom and knowing it could attain it without a problem. But the Inuyasha’s buried beneath the will of the beast recognized this touch. Knowing the one trying to restrain him wasn’t someone he intended to harm any time soon. Instead with this new revelation the demonic side of him turned about in a fluid motion that caused a gasp to arise from the raven haired woman.
Kagome’s breath hitched as she found herself staring into crimson eyes. The demon that had saved her had become something that seemed beyond saving. But her will to try would not allow her to run from him. He needed right now. Needed to be calmed. Like a dog having been beaten too many time, he needed that loving touch to reinstall trust.
“It’s alright Inuyasha, I’m here. Don’t be scared.” She cooed trying to reassure him, trying to reach him. But even so she felt as if he were slowly pulling away. And she also felt that she didn’t want him to.
Inuyasha wanted to move forward but he felt all the hateful memories he had resurface. Every memory of Kikyo flashing before his very eyes, every good moment he’d shared and then the day of her death.
He didn’t want that again.
Never again would he let that happen.
He wouldn’t let his mistake kill this woman too. The demonic energy sensed this, sensed the feelings that he’d buried and seized them examined them and tried to figure them out. It recognized only one of such feelings.
Lust…
He wanted and he wanted very badly.
Kagome found herself being pulled into a forceful embrace, her clothing having no hopes of escape immediately soiled with blood and the stains on her shirt would prove to be permanent.
“Inuyasha?” She tried to twist in her grasp but it only tightened, crushing her front to his and his arms taking her completely. He smothered her as he buried his face in the fresh scent of her hair and unconsciously claiming her mentally as his own.
The demon side of him didn’t profess love, it seized it. Took hold of it and claimed it as its own. This belonged to him.
The human side of him however valiantly fought. He actually took into account that she was a mortal woman that she would inevitably age and die. She may be the most beautiful rose in the world, but she would eventually wither and die like one.
Kagome looked at the deranged face that was trying to take over and yet being forced back. She needed to help along the process.
She wrapped her arms around the hanyou that stilled in her attempt to hold him. Since she wasn’t as tall her arms went around his waist and massaged his shoulder blades that slowly began to loosen with her touch. Through the soaked fabric she could feel every tense and pulsing muscle beneath it and she outlined them tenderly with her fingers.
“Ka…gome…” He murmured as the crimson finally faded to white, the blue pupils become their bright and ravishing gold once again, bright with intelligence and skill.
“Glad to have you back Inuyasha.” Kagome said as she tried to pull away again, not so because she didn’t want to ruin her cloths anymore than they already were but she felt a warm sensation creeping through her stomach and traveling through her when she held him.
“You’re really red.” The blood soaked hanyou commented, scarce traces of a smirk on his face as he looked at the flustered woman.
“You would be too if you just held someone coated in blood! Besides I just drove from my job with my boss in the car at top speed I don’t even have my driver permit yet!” she yelled defensively.
“Um, Kagome?”
The two turned as they were being watched by an entire mob of people, cops and three other people they were going to have to answer too. One of which was glaring slightly at the dog eared man….
