Chapter 12: Saviour

Looking down at the woman as he entered her, he could hear her heart beating viciously against her chest, he could see the fear in her eyes, but he didn't care he needed her essence and he was mere minutes from satisfying his appetite.

He knew that her body would not be able to resist much longer, so he gripped the sides of her legs and lifted them so that he was able to drive himself deeper. She trembled and shivered below him; with a grimace he rammed himself into her as her inner walls convulsed, involuntarily acting as a suction cup around his member. He lay there enjoying the feeling of energy, strength and power being released into his body while he stared down into her eyes and watched a void replace the life that they once held.

Pushing himself off of her he pulled up his hakama and turned to walk away with out so much as a glance over his shoulder at the women he had just devoured. He could still hear her twitch and moan slightly which brought a smile to his face as a thought filtered into his mind, `Kagome, that's her name. I wonder if she'll react the same? Uhm, well it matters not; as long as the dead woman does her part I'll get exactly what I need with little interference from the hanyou.'

He had been feeding for a few days now, after each meal he could feel himself growing stronger and stronger, `finally' he thought with a smirk. He knew that now if he chose to, he could go after and capture the essence of much stronger women. `I shall have my fill and no one will stop me!' He snickered in his mind as he caught a scent on the wind, “My luck can't be this good.” He whispered as he veered to the left and towards the enticing scent.

Simonkal of Inuy

“Come on, over here!” Kagome yelled at Sango as she dodged around another tree trying to escape the youkai that was still chasing them. She knew that it was close, because the ground was still rumbling beneath them.

“Maybe we should split up?” The slayer suggested while trailing her friend.

“Uhm, no I don't think that would be good idea. He's after the Jewel so he'll chase me either way. Kami, Inuyasha where are you!” She yelled as she came to an abrupt stop at the edge of a cliff. Tittering unstably she peered over the cliff, `wow, that would've been a nasty fall.' She thought with a grimace as reality sat in. What was she going to do? She couldn't keep running and yet she knew she couldn't just stop either.

Turning around abruptly she said, “find something, anything…we're going to have to fight him off, or give him the jewel,” as she dropped to her knees feeling around on the ground for something that would injure the Youkai.

“Here!” Sango exclaimed tossing a large piece of a broken tree limb to her friend, while keeping a piece, `damn if I had my hiraikotsu I would be able to take him out with one swing!' She thought as she positioned herself next to her companion and waited for the youkai to show him self.

The ground shook violently, which caused the women to stumble and fall to the ground, their make shift weapons were thrown from their hands as they squirmed backwards trying to get out of the sight of the youkai that was sure to emerge at any moment.

Bursting from the beneath the earth the giant worm snarled, “give it to me!” As he slithered his way closer to the two frightened women.

Sure her and Sango had just fought off the kidnappers but this was different there was no way in hell that they could fight this thing. They had nowhere to go except over the cliff. `Damn, Inuyasha where are you?' she thought as she reached out to either side of her trying to feel for the stick that was knocked from her hand.

“You can't get away from me, give me the jewel and I'll let you live.” The youkai hissed as he towered over the women.

“Never!” The miko screamed, clutching the jewel in her fist so tight that her knuckles turned white. Standing to her feet, “I'd rather die than to give it to you!” She added as she back up closer to the edge of the cliff. Glancing over the edge she closed her eyes and inhaled knowing that if she were to keep the jewel safe she would have to jump.

Hearing what Kagome had just said Sango tried to stand but fall back down with a loud thud since the demon was practically on top of her now. Scooting backwards she glanced over her shoulder at her friend and frantically yelled, “Kagome, don't do it! We'll get out of this…we always do, don't we?”

“Sango…” She started to say but was interrupted by a loud popping sound followed by a bright yellow light emanating from somewhere behind the youkai. Throwing her hands up to protect her face she dropped to the ground and covered her head.

Sango having shielded herself as well lowered her hands from her face. Peering at the worm youkai who seemed to be frozen in place, she noticed a crack began to appear in the center of his body and spread out in an up and down fashion. “Ka…Kagome…” She said as she inched back towards the edge of the cliff on her hands and buttocks.

Hearing her name called the miko lowered her arms and glanced at her friend then at the demon, “oh…my…Kami…” She said reaching out aimlessly for her friend. “Sa…Sango” she whispered as her fingers grazed her friends' shoulder. Feeling her collar she grabbed onto it and yanked her roughly back towards her, she then threw her body on top of hers in an effort to shield her.

Just as she did this, the youkai in front of them split straight down the middle then exploded into a million pieces falling all around the women.

As the pieces began to settle Kagome peeked to make sure the coast was clear and to see what or who had come to their aid. Pushing herself up off of her friend she quickly checked to make sure that she was okay then looked up and in the direction where the giant worm was standing moments ago. As the dust settled a figure began to slowly appear. She noticed that who ever it was, was rather tall and slender with wide shoulders and long flowing hair that fell well past his bottom, `Sesshomaru?' She questioned. “Sango who is that?”

Sitting up the taijiya glanced in the direction her friend was staring, “it looks like Sesshomaru.” Blinking a few times to try and clear her vision she squinted even more as the figure came into view. Staring at him with out blinking she couldn't help but to notice the way the moon reflected off his magenta colored hair, and his auburn eyes that seemed to call out to her. Travelling down his body she watched as his haori flowed behind him with every step that he took towards them leaving his well-chiseled chest displayed for all to see. “Oh…my…Kami.” Sango whispered as she realized that she almost drooled on herself. With out looking away she stuttered, “y…ar…tell me that you see him to.”

“Y…yeah” Kagome stuttered. She couldn't help but to stare at this man…their savior. She had to admit that he was truly beautiful, but that didn't stop the feeling that rippled threw her body telling her that she should run, `he's a youkai!'

Feeling as if she had no choice she continued to stare unabashedly, swallowing hard since her mouth was now dry from being open for so long Sango mumbled, “why can't all demons look like him?”

Walking up to the women now kneeling in front of him Jouyoku smiled innocently as he stared at them his eyes travelling from one to the other. He knew why they gawked and he knew why they hadn't moved and he reveled in it. He wore it like a badge of honor, they were human and humans were easy to manipulate, especially by someone of beauty.

Gazing at the Miko he took in her beautiful black locks, the deep brown color of her eyes and he wondered just how they would look while he ravished her body, stole her innocence and left her wanton and helpless. `Hmm, she's even more powerful than I thought…I'm going to cherish her slowly…gently.' he thought as he tried to keep his features blank or soft as not to rouse the girls suspicions. He could see it, him on top of her, inside her, he could feel her pulse and tremble beneath him, he could almost taste her. `Delicious'

Licking his lips he turned his attention to her friend. Immediately he noticed that she was by no way as strong as her friend in power, but her will power, her sheer desire to be and to love was over whelming. He smiled, `you my sweet, you shall be devoured until there is nothing left for anyone, I will feed on you until your body betrays you and leaves nothing but your mind to beg for more.'

`Oh, Kami why is he just standing there? Inuyasha where are you?' Kagome thought as she caught a glimpse of Sango out the side of her eye. Noticing that some how this man had totally captivated her friend she reached out and touched her arm without looking away from the demon.

`He's just a man…well youkai…nothing special…so why can't I look away!' She screamed in her mind. `Miroku…that's right I love Miroku…yes Miroku…nobody else, just Miroku.' She screamed to herself, as she watched the man kneel before them.

“Are you both alright?” He asked softly.

“Yes, thank you for saving us.” Kagome said as she tried to distance both of them from the mesmerizing youkai. The slayer however did not respond.

“No need to thank me, I just hate to see two beautiful women in such distress.” He said looking in Sango's direction.

As if she was coming out of daze Sango started blushing ferociously, “yes, thank you…but you're a demon, why would you help us?”

Before he could respond Kagome reached up and grabbed the Jewel that hung around her neck. Seeing this he smiled slyly, “I assure you miko I have no interest in the jewel.”

Kagome couldn't shake the feeling that she knew him from somewhere but she also knew that she had never met him before. Everything in side her told her to stay away from him, to run, but she didn't want to seem foolish, after all this man just saved their lives. Reaching down she grabbed Sango's hand as she stood up and said hastily, “thanks for all your help, but we have to go!”

“Surely you two don't want to leave right now…it's the middle of the night, where will you go?” Jouyoku questioned.

“Uhmm…” The miko started to say when she heard her name being called in the distance. Looking in the direction that the voice was coming from, “Inuyasha, I'm over here!” Turning back to the youkai she said a quick, thank you and goodbye, and then raced off towards the voice dragging a blushing Sango behind her.

As he watched the women dash off Jouyoku smirked evilly, “maybe not to night, but soon I will taste you.” In the distance he could hear the hanyou calling the girl Kagome and he frowned. Turning abruptly he headed in the opposite direction, `Inuyasha, your time will come.'

Sango having come out of her state of oblivion felt guilty for the way she practically drool over the youkai that saved them, she felt like she had betrayed Miroku in some way…she felt like she had been him. It was weird but the encounter made her understand in a small way just why he was the way he was. `If there were men that looked that good just walking around everyday, I don't think I would be able to control myself.' That thought made her blush even more, which she tried to hide since she could see Kirara in the distance which also meant that the monk would be there shortly, and he would of course want to know why she was blushing.

Seeing Inuyasha burst into the clearing that they were running across Kagome let go of Sango's hand and ran towards him screaming his name as tears came to her eyes. Through the whole ordeal she didn't have time to be scared, she didn't have time to cry or show fear, but now her indestructible hanyou was here he would take care of her, he would hold her until she stopped crying.

As the distance closed between them he could not only smell her tears, but also see them, before he could say anything she leaped into his arms wrapping her legs tightly around his waist and her arms possessively around his neck. Startled by this he stopped running as he hugged her tightly to him while whispering, “Ka…Kagome…I'm sorry. Are you all right? Did somebody hurt you?”

Burying her face into the crock of his neck she cried even more as she tightened her hold on him. The only thing she was able to say while sobbing inconsolably was, “Just hold me, please.”

Hearing this Inuyasha tightened his grip on her as he laid his head against hers and inhaled, at least she was safe. The difference he smelled in her scent was that she was exhausted, and for that he was grateful. Walking away from the others he sat down at the base of a tree with her still straddling his waist. Listening to her whimper and sniffle tore at him. He had no idea what she had been through, but he knew that he would never let her out of his sight again.

In the middle of the clearing Kirara landed with Miroku and Shippo. Glancing over to where the hanyou was he could hear Kagome crying and his heart went out to her, but his attention was focused on the women standing before him. The way she stood with her head down and her fingers intertwined in front of her made her look guilty or was she afraid? He didn't know which, but he didn't care he needed to make sure that she was okay. Walking over he watched as Shippo and Kirara greeted her.

Trying to keep himself from crying the kitsune sniffled, “I'm sorry Sango…if I was stronger I…I could've stopped them.”

Picking him up she gave him a tight hug, “don't you worry about it… we're fine, okay?”

Nodding slightly he stated, “I want to go tell Kagome I'm sorry.”

Gazing at his two hugging companions, “not tonight Shippo, you can tell her tomorrow.” Miroku responded.

Jumping out of Sango's arms the kit looked over at Kagome and Inuyasha sadly, he then walked over to where a transformed Kirara was laying. Curling up next to the neko youkai he whispered, “I'm sorry Kagome.”

“Sango are you…” The monk started to say, but was interrupted when Sango walked up to him and laid her head against his chest. “S…Sango” he whispered placing his arms around her and squeezing gently in order to let her know that she was now safe.

“I'm sorry Miroku.” She spoke softly as a tear trickled from her eye. Not wanting him to see it she buried her face deeper into his chest as she grabbed on to the back of his robes holding on so tight that her knuckles turned white.

“You have nothing to be sorry for. I'm just glad that you're okay.”

After placing a kiss so gentle on the top of her head that she probably didn't feel it he said, “come on we might as well settle in and try to get some rest before the sun comes up” as he lead her over to a tree on the opposite side of the clearing from his companions. Sitting down he allowed her to lay her head in his lap while gently stroking her hair. Laying his head back against the trunk he wondered just what had they been through, and would he and Inuyasha ever know what happened.

Until Next Time…(Please review!!)
