“Wait Inuyasha!” Kagome called from the swinging front door. Kyo pulled impatiently at his mommy's sleeve, staring up with big puppy dog eyes.

 

“What?!” he hollered, skidding to a stop in the clearing. Flustered eyes snapped back to his mate and scanned the area for potential danger.

 

“Kyo wants to go with you!” she yelled through cupped hands, trying to push her voice through the wide distance. Inuyasha remained uncertain for a moment and his eyes darted between his home and the village through the forest. With an impatient growl, the hanyou quickly dashed back to his house. Coming to an abrupt halt, he leaned down to crouch eye level with his son.

 

 

“Sorry squirt, I can't take you with me today.” Inuyasha apologized, “I'll try to bring you along tomorrow okay?”

 

The little hanyou's hurt eyes shined up at his daddy as he raised his arms. Inuyasha picked his red clad boy up and sat him on one arm. Kyo put in another attempt and stuck his bottom lip out in a pout. The older half demon's resolve wavered a second at the crushed look etched on his son's face.

 

“But I wanna go with you daddy…” his small crestfallen voice answered.

 

Inuyasha ruffled his son's hair and kissed him on the forehead. The hanyou looked over at his mate and bent his head to the side apologetically. Kagome understood and smiled, cuddling her son in her arms as Inuyasha handed him over. Kissing his cheek again, Inuyasha spoke,

 

“Sorry mate. I can't take Kyo with me today. I have the new group to train. Those dumb bas-” he stopped at the glare from Kagome, “I mean, those dumb…men are the most moronic ones I've gotten so far! You should see them! They're so fu-…eager to learn, but they're useless!” he finished, proud of his lack of obscenities. Kagome shook her head and laughed at his number of fumbles. The miko leaned forward to give him a quick kiss.

 

“Thank you for watching your language Inu-kun.” she congratulated with a pat to the head. Inuyasha growled at his childish treatment and scowled at his mate. Kagome giggled and shifted the ever growing little boy in her arms. Peering at the sun, the miko reminded, “You're going to be late, silly.”

 

Inuyasha's golden orbs widened as he remembered the reason for his hasty departure this morning. He'd woken up unusually late after a night of battling four little kiddies. A demon attack barely drained him, but those four could purge his body of any energy in a matter of hours. Inuyasha bent his knees low in preparation for a speedy exit but was stopped by a sweet feminine voice,

 

“Inuyasha…”

 

The hanyou halted his movements and spun around quickly to peck Kagome on the lips. She grinned happily and returned the chaste gesture.

 

“That's better.” she smiled.

 

 

Kyo stuck his tongue out in disgust and pressed his palms against his eyes while letting out a sound of protest. Inuyasha grinned and tweaked his son on the nose. The little hanyou scrunched it in displeasure and removed his hands to look up at his daddy.

 

“See you later big guy. Daddy's got to go. Be good for mommy.” He reminded. Turning his attention to his mate once again he continued, “I can come home for lunch today if you can make it?”

 

Shifting the bundle in her arms, she answered,

 

“I can't Inu-kun. The village headman's daughter went into labour a few hours ago. It's her first pregnancy and I think it's going to last well into the afternoon. See you at dinner?” she asked hopefully.

 

“See you then.” he promised.

 

Inuyasha remained where he was and couldn't help but smile stupidly at the picturesque portrait of his mate and son. The other children in the house were still fast asleep, needing to rest their little bodies from all the excitement of the last two days. Whenever those four got together, it was a never ending cycle of games and activities. Kyo woke up early, eager to go with his daddy. The little boy adored his father and put him upon the highest pedestal, willing to follow him to the ends of the earth. The hanyou's happy thoughts were abruptly cut through at the sound of his mate's giggling voice.

 

“Inuyasha…”

 

“Huh?”

 

“You're going to be late…”

 

“Damn it!” the hanyou cursed. Working his legs as fast as he could, Inuyasha jumped above the treetops and bolted off. Kagome shook her head with a smile and watched her mate's vanishing figure. Nuzzling her son's cheek, Kagome whispered softly,

 

“There goes daddy…” Kyo grinned then repeated,

 

“Damn it!”

 

 

 

~*~*~*~*~*~

 

 

 

Kagome led the troop of four little ones through the worn path in the forest and onto the village. Reaching her destination, she dropped the kids off with all the other village children in the vast field. Already this morning, ten other energetic curious packages of life ran around the leaf strewn grounds. Releasing the loose grip they had on Kagome, the two hanyou and two human children ran forward to join in on the games.

 

 

As soon as Kyo was spotted, a horde of boys ran forward to snatch up the hanyou. One dirtied face glared at another as each boy pulled Kyo to their team. Torn uncomfortably in the middle, the hanyou pushed both humans off him and randomly chose a side. Takai followed his inu-brother's lead but was quickly pulled to the opposing team. A simple ball game ensued and clouds of auburn leaves tornadoed behind their bare feat. Saaya and Maiko instinctively waddled their way over to the smaller group of children and mixed into the cluster.

 

 

A village mother sat up from her position on the ground and greeted Kagome. Bowing slightly, the woman spoke,

 

“Good morning Lady Kagome. I hope you and Lord Inuyasha are well?” Kagome pulled the woman upright and smiled good naturedly at her.

 

“We're fine thanks. And what did I say about being so formal! I'm just like you guys! No bowing, no `Lady this' and `Lord that'!” the miko waved her hand nonchalantly. The woman smiled warmly and continued,

 

“Your modesty humbles us all. Is there anything I should know about the children?”

 

“Nothing really. Except Takai might be coming down with a small cold. It shouldn't be too big of a deal. Just let him run it off.” Kagome answered, “I better be going. The headman's daughter started having contractions a little while ago.”

 

The woman winced sympathically and Kagome nodded with a grimace. Just then a strange twinge of minute nausea hit the miko and left her soothing her flat tummy. Paying it no attention, she waved off the other mothers watching the children and went on her way.

 

 

As Kagome left the forest, the woman she had been talking to resumed her seat beside a slightly older female. The two kept their eyes on the children and quietly conversed amongst themselves.

 

“Lady Kagome is truly amazing isn't she?” one sighed longingly.

 

“I can't imagine another like her.” the other whispered.

 

“Her intelligence is astounding!”

 

“Brilliantly so! Her idea of week…ends,” she struggled, “saved us all from self slavery!”

 

“What day is it today did she say? Oh…I can't remember how it goes.”

 

“Tuesday?”

 

“Isn't Monday before Tuesday?”

 

“Oh right! So…Monday then?”

 

“Monday then.”

 

 

 

~*~*~*~*~*~

 

 

 

Kagome spent the remainder of the day beside a loudly screeching mother to be. The pained woman's brow was drenched in perspiration during the long hours of her labour. The miko coached her along, chanting words of encouragement during the last bone crunching hour of the struggle. Kaede watched her apprentice quietly, smiling at her wonderful talent. The older miko was getting on on her years and knew her time was fast approaching. But with a capable student like Kagome to carry on her work, Kaede knew she'd leave the village in good hands.

 

 

Kagome's head swam in nausea. The heated cloudy air of the room intensified the stench of blood and birthing fluids. Knitting her eyebrows together tightly, she reprimanded herself for being effected so easily. She'd delivered many babies at this point; this one shouldn't be any different! Taking a deep breath, the miko urged the mom to push once more. An agonized scream pierced through the air as the mother gave another mighty push, using all the energy her agitated body had. Temperamental veins ran down the woman's forehead and neck, threatening to burst if the pain didn't subside. Her nervous jittery husband cooed shaky sentiments to his wife, kneeling beside the futon. His broken finger and darkly bruised pinky remained carefully hidden behind his back. Kaede had tended to the man's injuries after his wife's crushing grip snapped the bones and burst the vessels in his hand. Another loud cry issued from the patient as her final push brought a new life into the world.

 

 

The baby girl cried loudly and inhaled with quivering gasps of air. Kagome smiled fondly at the child and cleaned the purplish skin with a soft cloth. She tied the umbilical cord with a length of cloth and asked the father to cut the thread of life. With teary eyes, the new dad separated his baby girl from his wife.

 

After wrapping her securely in a pink blanket, the miko handed the bundle over to the tried parents. A peacefully quiet hum settled in the room, contrasting the previous echoing noise. Mother and father held their new little life together, smoothing the baby's cheek gently. The couple quietly thanked the miko without ever taking their eyes off their new wonder. Kagome watched the happy family for a brief moment before flipping the white sheet that was draped across the mother's knees. The sight churned Kagome's tight stomach and she covered her mouth with one hand. Apologizing quickly, Kagome pleaded for Kaede to finish her work.

 

 

 

Running outside, she heaved in greedy gulps of fresh air. Cursing to herself for succumbing to her body's weakness, Kagome kneeled to the ground to let the wave of sickness pass. Her tummy churned uncomfortably along with an odd pressure pushing on her lower abdomen. Raising herself up once more, Kagome brushed her brow with the back of her hand. The cooling temperatures chilled her overheated skin and peeled the clinging material of her kimono off her flesh. Closing her watery eyes for a moment, the priestess took slow, calming breaths in order to compose herself. Shaking her head lightly, Kagome rubbed her stomach in an attempt to soothe the jumpy muscles beneath her palm.

 

 

Kagome raised her head and peered at the sun, guessing it was a few hours after midday. The miko gave a long sigh and reluctantly resumed her work.

 

 

 

~*~*~*~*~*~

 

 

 

“Oi! I said swing and duck, not duck then swing you moron!” Inuyasha yelled harshly at the dueling pair of men. The young man smiled sheepishly at his hanyou trainer and began another mock fight with his partner. Inuyasha growled loudly, ready to slap the dumb bastard across the back of the head. Resisting the urge to pummel his charges, the half demon prayed to the gods to bestow the virtue of patience upon him.

 

 

The clashing of sticks cracked loudly in the clearing as fifty men practiced their drills. Inuyasha circled around the duos of males, crinkling his nose at their messy strikes. As he watched, one young man's helmet fell over his eyes and obscured his view. The startled heap of flailing limbs fell unceremoniously to the ground with a hard thump. His partner laughed loudly and poked the fallen soldier's chest with the solid bamboo stick in triumph. Inuyasha stormed over to the man on the ground and pulled him up by the back of his collar. He yelled out in surprise and attempted to pull the metal helmet from his sticky face. Once he was able to free his captive head, the laughing eyes of the man quickly widened in fright at Inuyasha's glowering look. Fumbling, the man straightened himself up and stood rigidly before his trainer. Nervousness practically oozed from his pores from the hostility brimming in the golden eyes of the hanyou.

 

 

Inuyasha circled the man with clenched fists tied behind his back. His partner looked on sympathetically, although rightfully scared, for his friend. Lowly growling, Inuyasha addressed the moron that was his trainee,

 

“Do you think this is a game?!” he hissed quietly, “I'm preparing you for war you dumbass!”

 

“N-no sir. I don't think this is a game.” He shakily replied, his eyes never daring to meet Inuyasha's.

 

“You're here on your own free will! You're the one who wants to go into battle, to make a name for yourself! I'm here to focus your abilities and strengthen your swordsmanship! How am I supposed to help you if you're here laughing and swinging the sword like a little girl?!”

 

“B-but…it's a bamboo stick master Inuyasha…” Inuyasha's growl thinned out to a menacing snarl, his eyebrows knitting together darkly. This punk's smartass attitude was gyrating on the hanyou's already temperamental tolerance. Willing his body to repress the impulse to drive the man's face into the ground, Inuyasha bit out,

 

“Of course it is you idiot! If I gave you swords, half of you bakas would be dead before you got into the army!”

 

“S-sorry master Inuyasha!”

 

“Don't be sorry, be smart! In the end it's YOUR life on the line, not mine! I'm capable of defending myself; I'm just trying to train you to be too! Do you want to leave and never come back?” he questioned, then paused and continued in a softer tone that steadily hardened, “Do you want to leave your wife and children widowed and fatherless?! Focus you moron!!”

 

“Yes sir!” he squeaked.

 

 

Inuyasha sighed and pushed the man back to his partner. They began to nervously practice again under the watchful eyes of their master. After a few minutes, the hanyou nodded his distained approval to the two and continued on. His golden eyes skimmed over the haphazard pairs and he sighed exasperatedly. This was the dumbest group he'd gotten so far. It consisted of local village men, both from Kaede's and neighboring ones. Their bodies were physically matured, but their minds obviously were not.

 

 

Many had come to train under the famous inu hanyou, certain that his legendary strength and battle experience would enhance their own abilities. In this time of war, men were continuously taken into combat, and many of them sadly did not return. However, those who were under Inuyasha's discipline had a decidedly higher rate of success. The hanyou had turned out many skillful warriors who rose to commanding positions throughout the years.

 

 

At his young age, Kyo had already taken a keen interest in the art of swords. The little hanyou boy accompanied his daddy whenever he was able to and began his own special routine. Inuyasha gave him simple combinations to work with, preparing his son for real training. He just knew Kyo was going to have amazing abilities. How could he not with a famous warrior hanyou for a father and a powerful priestess as a mother? He was genetically programmed to be successful.

 

 

Inuyasha sighed and closed his lightly fatigued eyes for a moment. The warm sun tickled his sharp face while the ever cooling winds of fall chilled his body. The hanyou circled the field again, correcting mistakes and yelling at the bastards who thought of the whole thing as an amusing game. Inuyasha nearly broke out in a laugh when he heard Miroku's exasperated plea. The monk was nearly at his wits end with his hands fisted in his disheveled black hair. It seemed he wasn't having much luck with the imbeciles either. Inuyasha settled for a taunting grin he shot at Miroku's bulging eyes. The monk fell to his knees and clutched his heart with one hand while the other was planted on the ground, balancing his shaky form.

 

 

Inuyasha briskly walked over to the fallen form of his friend and pulled the monk up with a smirk. Miroku never left his daze of disbelief as he whispered words of incredulity to his hanyou friend.

 

“I've never seen anything like it Inuyasha…” he began with wide eyes, his hands resuming their tight fisting of hair, “This group… is literally the freaking stupidest bunch we've gotten so far!” he finished in a near screech. Inuyasha's grin slipped off his face and was replaced with a disturbed grimace. He awkwardly patted Miroku on the back in an attempt to comfort his distressed comrade.

 

“Relax Miroku…” he started uncertainly with raised eyebrows, “We've only had them for a few days… we have another month to train their sorry asses.”

 

Miroku turned his wide eyed gaze to the hanyou, startling him with his blood shot eyes. Inuyasha released his friend and stumbled back a few steps on the hardened earth. The hanyou's lips slowly hitched in a corner of his mouth in alarmed concern. Miroku turned and advanced toward the hanyou, who in turn edged away from the irate human.

 

“Chill out man…” Inuyasha pacified with jumpy nerves. Miroku clasped his head in his hands and fell the ground, effectively straddling the earth. The hanyou scooted a bit further away and resumed his day job.

 

 

He looked around the field, nearly rolling his eyes at all the chaotic jabs and half hearted attempts to block the shots. A few of the men were even sitting on the ground, rubbing their sore necks from the day of training. The lazy bastards were barely even moving their retarded asses anymore. Inuyasha had no bloody idea how they'd survive in a real battle if their stamina was this pathetically short. A wicked idea formed in his mind and physically made its début on Inuyasha's handsome features. The inu hanyou carefully resumed his place beside the monk and nudged him with his foot. Miroku looked up to see a grinning half demon. The human's agitated form relaxed a little at his best friend's devilish smile. He questioned his tetsusaiga wielding friend with his eyes, and Inuyasha sneakily answered,

 

“These lazy asses have been slacking all day. By the time I'm done with them, they'll wanna go crying home to their mommies.”

 

 

With that Inuyasha whistled loudly and called the reckless group to his side. They lined up messily before the hanyou and bumped into each other while trying to get into position. One man pushed another who got in his way, and the other pushed him back. Before the fight was able to escalate, Inuyasha impatiently slapped their heads together. An empty klunk traveled through the clearing and left two humans holding newly risen bumps on their foreheads. Inuyasha growled at the two who immediately straightened themselves and lined up properly. The hanyou's eyes narrowed, scrutinizing their movement. He remained silent for a minute, letting the deplorable humans stew in their own nervousness. Another treacherous minute ticked by before Inuyasha spoke. When he did, all eyes were trained on him, ready for instructions…or a tongue lashing.

 

 

“Alright you moronic dumbasses. This was possibly the worst day of training I've ever seen. You guys slacked off and disrespected my authority! Make sure to clean up your fucking acts for tomorrow. You're dismissed for the day…” he smirked, “…as soon as you do ten laps around the clearing!”

 

 

Inuyasha turned his back to the collective groan issued from the group and his smile widened. The group's eyes darted around the clearing, assessing the diameter of the plain. Pained whimpers exited the mouths of the weaker ones when they realized they had a good ten mile run ahead of them. For thirty seconds, no one moved a muscle. Irked, Inuyasha turned and regarded them nonchalantly. Hopeful eyes looked into the sadistically glowing ones of their trainer, begging for mercy. Looking to the side, the hanyou compromised with the assembly.

 

“You guys don't have to run if you don't want to.” He shrugged his shoulders, “Just remember if you choose not to…don't bother coming back tomorrow. I only train those strong enough to learn under me. The weaklings who can't handle it can just go home.”

 

 

Whether it was from fear of being rejected from the group, or hurt pride from having their masculinity questioned, each and every man sprinted forward and began their laboring run. After one lap, many began to lag behind. Inuyasha popped his shoulder impatiently at the weak cluster and plopped down beside the reasonably sane Miroku. The two sat and watched their charges run their laps and sighed at their lack of ability and intelligence. Miroku ranted on about the two dumbasses that he caught having a thumb war, but stopped mid-story when he realized Inuyasha had gone rigid beside him.

 

“What is it Inuyasha?” he asked genuinely concerned.

 

The said hanyou's eyes narrowed as he focused his senses. The faint demonic stench of the bitch he unwillingly met two days before aggravated his senses. Ignoring Miroku's questioning concern, Inuyasha simply demanded that the monk stay back and watch the group. With that, he leaped forward and raced into the tree line. Barely a second passed before the blurred image of the silver haired hanyou disappeared from the clearing. Miroku remained seated on the ground, curiosity swimming in his violet pools. With a shiver, he returned his attention to the group, unable to ignore the nagging feeling that something was wrong.

 

 

 

~*~*~*~*~

 

 

 

Inuyasha pushed himself to the limit, running through the clustered forest at an alarming speed. The trunk of each tree was merely a hair's width away from his nose before he dodged the obstacle. His heart was hammering in his chest, threatening to burst through his ribs from the pure adrenaline pumping through his veins. Inuyasha knew he smelled that bitch. She wasn't far off…he could sense her aura reaching out to caress his. Sniffing delicately, he traced the demoness to the same clearing she had practically materialized from two days before.

 

 

With a giant leap, he soared through the tree tops and cut through the air. Aligning his body to a straight pane, the hanyou's body shot forward. His loose garments whipped behind him in a red smear across the mockingly white clouds. Inuyasha's feet barely graced the tops of the trees before he sprung forward again. With each leap, dark golden leaves shuddered from their branches and floated to the ground. A primal growl rose in his throat…he would slay that foul creature and end her misery. No one threatened his family and got away with it…especially not some twisted demon claiming to be his `true mate' or some bullshit like that. Another long second thundered by before he had the clearing within sight. Inuyasha swiftly and silently landed in the middle, facing the elegantly robed back of Leiko.

 

 

Inuyasha inhaled through flared nostrils and cracked his knuckles threateningly. His windblown hair messily fanned around his tense face, curtaining his blazing eyes. His dangerous growls darkened into furious snarls. His lips drew back to reveal animalistic fangs, ready to purge the female's body of her life essence. Stepping closer, he clasped tetsusaiga with his right hand and began to draw the sword. The quiet scrape of metal against the sheath reached Leiko's sensitive ears and she slowly turned to face the inu hanyou of her dreams.

 

 

Her dark blue eyes gazed innocently into Inuyasha's red tinged golden ones. Her lips pulled into a cute smiled aimed at the warrior before her. She pushed her full mouth out in a small pout and batted her long lashes at her future mate. Leiko released her masking spell and her scent pungently flowed from her body. Inuyasha snapped back and covered his nose with the heavy sleeve of his haori, protecting his keen senses from her repulsive musk. The dark aroma of her arousal was again laced into her scent, pushing the hanyou back another few steps. The demoness smiled widely, showing her own sharp teeth.

 

“Aren't you happy to see me?” she asked with a pout, “You know…mates usually greet their partner with a kiss.”

 

Inuyasha snarled at her and resisted the urge to simply send her to her grave. His curiosity won out and demanded to know just how and why this…creature was stalking his family. Through his clenched teeth, the hanyou forced the words to escape the confines of his mind.

 

“Why are you doing this?” he asked in a clipped tone, “What possibly do you have to gain from fucking stalking my family?”

 

 

Leiko smiled seductively and pulled at the sash that held her kimono together. The tie loosened, but kept the folds of her clothing together. Gracefully floating across the grass, so smoothly it appeared she was simply skimming the ground beneath her, the demoness approached the inu hanyou. Inuyasha held his breath, his hand firmly clasped around his fang. Leiko stopped a breath away from the rigid hanyou and blew a puff of cold air on his lips. She smiled at his icy demeanor and leaned in closer to lick the salty bead of sweat that trickled down his neck.

 

 

Inuyasha snapped, no longer able to endure the crazy bitch's molestation. He whipped his sword out and it transformed into an ominous blade. He jumped into the air and swung, narrowly missing the surprised demoness who backed away a nanosecond before the sharp metal was able to claim her life.

 

“That's it!” Inuyasha roared, “I don't care what your motives are anymore! I'm going to kill your fucking ass!”

 

 

Leiko leapt into the air, the force of her movements untangling her loose sash and revealing her naked skin. Inuyasha's mind burned from the image of her offensive flesh, begging his eyes not to combust within its sockets. The hanyou swung the deadly blow again, surprise blooming on his face when he was unable to incinerate her body. Leiko moved to the north end of the clearing where immensely tall trees obscured the sun from view. She landed deftly on a branch and held her arms down, allowing her entire attire to billow to the ground. The white kimono crumpled into an untidy heap on the forest floor beneath the shade of a looming cheery blossom tree.

 

 

She smiled wickedly and soared forward towards the hanyou, clad in nothing but smooth skin. Inuyasha's eyes widened at her advance and he sliced at her once more. In his panicked state of mind, his agility dulled while hers heightened. Leiko pounced forward and knocked the sword from his tight hold. Tetsusaiga circled through the air before impounding itself into the hard earth, morphing back to its original form. The dull thud barely registered in Inuyasha's ears as his own heart was taking precedence.

 

 

Leiko smiled sinfully and grazed her fangs against Inuyasha's cheek, leaving a thin line across the newly marred skin. She smartly jumped back before his claws embedded into her chest. Inuyasha snarled and sprang forward again.

 

“Sankontessou!” he hollered as beaming golden crescents hurled towards the wide eyed demoness.

 

Leiko rolled to the side to avoid the brunt of the attack, but a steady stream of crimson flowed down her arm and trickled to the ground beneath. The acidic blood burned the grass and curdled the soil before dying out to a quiet hiss. Not giving her the time to regain her composure, Inuyasha cried out again as another stream of half-moons blared to life. Leiko jumped to her feet and turned to run from the oncoming attack. An electric curve cut through her leg and left a gaping wound on the previously unscarred flesh. The demoness screeched in pain and retreated to the north end once again.

 

 

Inuyasha followed at a slower pace, debating on whether or not to just kill the fucking demon, or get his answers first. He continued forward until he reached the base of the tree Leiko stood upon. She nursed her wounds with nimble fingers, tracing the outline of the separated flesh. Inuyasha looked up into the foliage and locked his eyes with the dark ones of the demoness. She turned pouty eyes on him once again and spoke in a sickeningly innocent voice.

 

 

“Lord Inuyasha! It's against the law to hurt your mate…how could you cut me with those deliciously sharp claws of yours?” she asked with an air of hurt.

 

“You're not my fucking mate you psychotic bitch!” he yelled while swiping away a bead of blood from the cut on his face. The red smeared across his bronze skin and left an ugly streak.

 

Leiko turned her head to the side and demurely gazed at the hanyou. Flipping her silver strands back, the demoness stood proud and tall, revealing her assets for all to see. She ignored the stinging from her cuts and the blood that dripped down her leg. Moving to a different tactic, she cupped her pert breast while looking straight into Inuyasha's golden orbs. Purring at the contact, her arousal spiked and caused Inuyasha to sneer in disgust.

 

“What the fuck is wrong with you?!” the hanyou demanded, revolted by her constant fondling of her own body.

 

“I need you Inuyasha…” she whispered through clouded eyes.

 

Her memory provided the images of the tantalizingly nude hanyou. She bit her lip as images from the day he went to the lake assaulted her mind. She had watched his stiff movements as his exquisite body adjusted to the shock of the water. She watched him stand on the shore in his naked glory, her core practically dripping at the sight of his heavy genitals. But most arousing of all, she had watched as he coupled with that human plaything. Her body nearly shook in release as her memory replayed the image of his rigid length thrusting into that weak female. A heady moan exited her throat and reached Inuyasha's traumatized ears. He had long ago ripped his eyes away from the disgusting female. He'd risk being unprepared for her strike over watching her please herself any day.

 

 

“Aren't you going to satisfy me, my Lord?” she taunted again, slipping her hand between her slick folds.

 

Inuyasha cursed and steeled his body for the next move. The last thing he wanted to do was touch the crazy freak, but it had to be done if he wanted to eliminate her from the living. Inuyasha bent down in preparation to leap up and end the bitch's life with one slit across the throat. Just then a cool wind tussled through the clearing and shifted the leaves of the trees. The hanyou's eyes widened when he caught the image of a dangling foot in the midst of the tree tops. In the same branches as that cursed demoness, a naked leg poked out from the confines of the leaves. A stronger wind pulled the old branch away and revealed a sight that would never leave Inuyasha's haunted mind until the day he died.

 

 

Leiko stopped her ministrations and slipped down from her branch. She quickly threw her kimono back on, her lack of modesty shining through. Even then, she didn't tie the garments back together, but instead chose to leave the line of flesh revealed. The demoness slithered up beside the horrified hanyou and licked the shell of his ear. Inuyasha didn't respond, he didn't even turn to decapitate her. Leiko smiled with an immensely evil gleam twinkling in her eyes. In a soft delicate whisper, she commented,

 

“I told you humans were frail, my dearest Lord…”

 

 

Inuyasha remained rooted to the spot, his blood frozen inside his veins. He was unable to do anything but stare high into the branches of the sakura tree. The hanyou's golden eyes shimmered as even he couldn't hold in the tears that threatened to consume his very soul. His grief-stricken face paled as the reality of the situation sunk into his bones. The greatest inu warrior fell to his knees as time stopped moving and everything slowed to a murmur. Inuyasha's pained eyes stared up to the naked corpse of his mate, dangling in the high branches. Her body was bruised and lacerated, her skin grotesquely blue. Every painful memory the hanyou ever experienced molded together into a tight black ball in his stomach and exploded. Pure emptiness pounded in his chest, disbelief screaming to be heard.

 

“K-Kagome…” Inuyasha whispered.

R/R =) Reviews are greatly appreciated, *hint hint*, lol.

 

This literally took me all day. I don't know why…but chapters are getting harder and harder to write. But I think I got it going now…it was just chapter that had me stumped. Oooh…and I woke up today and I couldn't get this idea out of my mind. So I wrote it all down and…I'm going to start a second story =). Eek! Hopefully I'll be able to get it up within a week. I got absolutely nothing accomplished today…so good luck to me with my semester mid-terms =S…crap. Haha. And for those of you who are like me…and aren't all that fond of OC's…you'll be glad to know Leiko is only a temporary character. She doesn't stay for long, (talk about HINT haha). Anyways…sincere apologies for the retardedly long wait for this chapter. Until next time…dun dun dun! Lol =)
