InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Kurayami no Naka de Hikari ❯ 18b - The New Moon ( Chapter 19 )

Kurayami no Naka de Hikari

Notes: 4,360 words / 5 pages – Okay, so I was shooting for 5,000 words for this half of the chapter but this was just a good ending place. The next chapter should be normal sized, though I'm not sure when it will come, to be honest. Life is hectic right now, updates at the bottom of the chapter if you're curious. Also, I want to thank EVERYONE that sent their support and concern after I posted the last section, having a support system REALLY helps when you're in a situation like that. It really touched me to see how many people cared, even people that don't normally review took the time to send their best hopes my way and it was really touching, thank you everyone!

Also, I wanted to point out my newest story "Solstice" that I started a while ago. It's based on a dream, but I feel it's pretty original, I haven't come across anything quite like it. It was based off of a dream I had a while back that acted as a muse to it. Let me know what you think, I haven't gotten much response on it yet.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or any of the characters thereof. Even though that is the case, please don't steal my plot, concept, or story out of respect for my creative endeavor as I would not do this to anyone out there.

Chapter 18b – The New Moon

Darkness was all she could see spanning into oblivion before her. She felt nothing... she was nothing... She couldn't remember her name, her life, her family... nothing... Her mind was completely blank as she surveyed her surroundings in search of... what was she looking for again? For some reason, she was unable to even remember that, but there was a deep longing that was lodged deep within her chest that she couldn't explain. It was almost as if there was a gaping hole where her heart should have been that was making her become anxious.

She looked down and saw a pair of pale hands that, after a moment, she realized belonged to her. Using her new-found hands, and climbed unsteadily to her feet and began to walk in a random direction toward the never-ending blackness that seemed to be closing in on her from all angles. Not sure where she was going or what she was looking for she quickened her pace, wanting to find the thing that would fulfill the aching in her chest. After a few moments, the anxiety grew stronger and she found her pace quicken as a sense of urgency rang in the back of her mind. There was someone that cared for her and needed her and she had to find that person before something bad happened to them. She couldn't recall what, but she knew if she didn't intervene, that person would be hurt and she'd never be able to forgive herself for it.

"Run all you want, little miko." A deep and sinister voice rent through the air, echoing off of the non-existent walls of the inky black terrain. "I will always come for you, you belong to me for all time."

The voice sent a chill of dread down her spine as her pace increased. Her legs burned from the exertion and her lungs were on fire as she drew in panting breaths. The voice sent fear shooting through her whole being as her legs pumped continually, trying to outpace the pleased chuckle that ripple through the air all around her.

"I will possess more than just your body now, koibito..." The voice whispered in amusement as she fell to her knees and jammed her hands against her ears hard to block out the evil sounding laugh that filled the air. She willed the voice away as tears streamed endlessly down her cheeks. That voice was trouble and she was truly trapped. The ache in her chest grew tenfold as the blackness around her began to fade away.

"Kagome-chan... please wake up, child." A familiar female voice whispered from somewhere off to her left. It took Kagome a moment to gather her thoughts and bring herself back to consciousness enough to realize just WHO she was. It took considerably longer to assess the whisper she heard, identify the words and direction, and figure out why the voice sounded so familiar.

A low groan escaped her throat as pain registered in her body and she felt a dull throb in the back of her head that sent electric shoots of agony down the back of her neck. She forced her eyes open next and turned her head toward the voice. She was able to make out the form of a beautiful woman with long, curling black hair strapped down to a table next to her. Kagome's eyes widened immediately as she recognized said woman as Izayoi, Inuyasha's mother!

"Izayoi-mama?" She questioned in surprise as she took in the woman's attire. It was nothing like what the dignified woman would ever wear. She was in a red and black, lacy lingerie set that, while it covered everything, left little to the imagination. Her flat stomach looked pale against the dark lace and her breasts spilled out of the top of the too-small bra. She had thigh-high fishnet stockings on that were held up by a black and red garter belt and a pair of stiletto heels adored her feet. Not only was her outfit completely out of character, the makeup was layered on her face thickly with extremely dark colors. Black eye shadow and liner set off by blood red lipstick and a hint of blush on her soft cheeks. Her arms were secured above her head on the table with thick leather straps and the same went with her feet, they were strapped to the corners of the table so her legs were slightly parted.

"Oh thank goodness you're all right. I thought they had killed you when that horrible woman hit you over the head." Izayoi said as she flashed a scared, yet reassuring smile at the younger girl.

"I don't... what happened?" Kagome asked, her memory still fuzzy from the odd dream she had been having moments before. The last thing she remembered was feeling extremely exhausted and watching Izayoi collapse to the ground. She did remember a pair of unfamiliar gray eyes framed by black bangs with the rest of the hair pulled back from his face. If his expression hadn't been so haughty and smug, he might have been handsome, not that Kagome was interested in anyone except for Inuyasha.

"Don't worry, Inu no Taisho will find us." Izayoi explained with a soft smile. She had the utmost faith and confidence in her husband and knew if anyone could find them, he could. "They're probably going to ransom us off, my husband will do whatever it takes to keep us safe."

"Wait, we were kidnapped, weren't we?" Kagome questioned as her eyes bugged out of her head. She felt terror eat at her from the inside and the epiphany that she had just come to after recalling some of the strangeness of the dream she'd had. Nobody would want to kidnap Higurashi Kagome... except perhaps one person... She felt a chill run down her spine at the memory of angry, blood-red eyes and long, black wavy hair. The spider tattoo across a man's back coming to mind in an instant... Naraku...

That's when panic set in and she truly took in her surroundings. She was hanging from a pair of padded, metal handcuffs by her wrists and immediately began to tug at the obstructions. She needed to get them off so she and Izayoi could get out of there before 'he' arrived. He would make punish her for allowing Inuyasha to put his hands on her. He would harm Izayoi just to make it so Kagome would submit to his every whim and then he would carry out the horrible things he had done in her dreams.

For the first time, Kagome looked around the room, searching for any identifiable features that might save them from this horrible situation. She found herself in a dimly-lit room with a large armoire against one wall with both door thrown open. Inside of the doors was an assortment of what looked like dildos, whips, chains, and any kind of sexual torture device known to mankind. She swallowed thickly and shivered, finally noticing her severe lack of clothing. She was, much like Izayoi, wearing a completely risque lingerie set, although unlike what Izayoi wore, Kagome's was completely see-through. She shuddered to herself again and turned her frightened gaze back to Izayoi, not wanting the woman to see what Kagome was going to be forced into doing. She didn't want Inuyasha's mother to think less of her and see the types of things she had allowed herself to be subjected to. She didn't think she could bear it if she saw that familiar look of disgust and disappointment she'd seen in her mother's eyes reflected in Izayoi's eyes as well.

"Please, Izayoi-mama. Don't watch, close your eyes and ignore anything you hear." Kagome said in a desperate whisper as she worried her bottom lip with her teeth. "Please don't think less of me."

"Kagome-chan? What are you talking about, my dear?" Izayoi asked as she gave her a slightly perplexed look. Izayoi had thought this kidnapping plot had to do with the wealth and power of being a Takahashi and Kagome had only been caught up because of her, but now she was beginning to think otherwise as she saw how frightened the dark-haired human looked.

"Someone's coming..." Kagome whispered as her eyes swiveled to the dark door across from them. She knew that the person who was approaching was human. 'Great, one of the few times I can sense a human aura is in this situation.' She thought dryly as she watched the door intently. Although the person approaching was clearly human, there was a dark aura surrounding the person and projecting outward with evil intentions. As long as it wasn't Naraku, Kagome still had some time to formulate a plan to get her and Izayoi-mama out of there.

After several minutes of watching the door intently, the door slowly creaked open and low voices could be heard from outside. It only opened a few inches as if the person on the other side of the door was holding onto the knob and finishing up a conversation before they entered the room. Kagome swallowed the lump in her throat and forced the fearful look from her face, turning it into a look of defiance. She was NOT going to submit to this person, she had come to a realization. She had figured out the only way that Izayoi would be able to come out of this safely... She would have to give herself over willingly in exchange for Izayoi's release. 'I'm sorry Inuyasha... I never meant to involve your family in my problems...' She thought to herself in sorrow.

Kagome forced back the tears that she felt brewing in her eyes as the door slowly swung open to reveal a tall man with gray eyes and a long braid down his back. He sauntered into the room confidently and stopped right in front of Kagome, reaching up one hand to grip her chin painfully and force her to look him right in the eye. He had the same haughty look on his face as he twisted her face from side to side to get a good look at her face. She stared right back defiantly, willing him to get closer so she could bite down on him and replace that confidence with someone else.

"Hmm... I suppose I can see why he wants you back so much." The man said with a smirk as he released her chin. "You're pretty fuckable, maybe I'll take a turn before he gets back." He said as he pressed his body up against hers and reached his hands up to squeeze her breasts HARD through the lingerie.

"Fuck you!" Kagome spat at him as she pushed away from him, ignoring the tears of pain and humiliation that were gathering in her eyes. She wasn't normally one to curse, but she felt it was warranted in this situation.

"Keep your hands off of her!" Izayoi growled out coldly from her prone position on the table. Her voice was low and threatening, someone who was used to her commands being followed explicitly. "Keep this whole kidnapping thing between the Takahashi's."

"Oh? So you think this is just about the money and power of the Takahashi's?" The man questioned mockingly as he released Kagome and began walking toward Izayoi. He leaned over the table and let his eyes trail greedily along her mostly exposed body. He smirked to himself as he reached his hands down and began to trail his fingers across her bare stomach. His hands slid from her stomach down to her hips and continued their descent to her inner thighs before moving up her body again and across her most private area. Izayoi, for her part, remained every confident, never broke her defiant gaze away from his gray-eyed confident look. She seemed to completely ignore the hands that were running all along her body and just glared up at the tall human.

"Damn, I see why the Inu no Taisho took you." The man said as a visible shudder of excitement ran down his spine. "You're a fucking MILF! I'm going to have to teach you a lesson about that pretty little mouth of yours, aren't I?" With that comment, he jumped up onto the table and pressed his hips against hers, an obvious erection pressing in between her thighs as he smirked in anticipation down at her.

"To be able to take the Inu no Taisho's beautiful mate and fuck the life out of her..." He mused to himself as he leaned down and latched his lips onto her pale throat and sucked long and hard. "That will definitely boost my street cred... as if I need it." He said as he bit down on the same spot, eliciting a cry of pain from Izayoi's silvery voice.

"Izayoi-mama!" Kagome cried as she pulled at the handcuffs keeping her held in place. She tried to at least reach her foot out and kick him or something, but found leather bands around her ankles that only gave her a foot or two of slack.

"Wait your turn, Kagome-chan." The man said mockingly as he flashed that confident smirk in her direction. "I have stamina, you'll get a nice fuck too." With that, he turned back to Izayoi pulled down the bra, revealing her perfectly round breasts and took one nipple into his mouth, biting down viciously. Izayoi's screams ripped through the air and Kagome felt the tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Please stop! I'll do whatever you want, leave Izayoi-mama alone!" Kagome cried as she watched his hands begin to fumble with the buckle on his pants.

"Hmm? You don't want to wait your turn?" He asked with a smirk as he turned toward Kagome. He ceased his fumbling at his belt and jumped off the table, his full attention now on the young woman hanging by her wrists. He stalked toward her like a predator stalking a helpless baby bunny, licking his lips in anticipation as his eyes took on a heated look. Kagome shuddered as she noticed the large bulge of an erection in his pants and swallowed thickly, her mouth having suddenly gone dry. "You should feel privileged that I'm giving up the opportunity to fuck the Inu's mate just for you. You'll remember this for the rest of your life."

"Just leave her alone..." Kagome felt outside of her body as she pleaded for this gray-eyed man to stop his assault on Izayoi. Her mind felt slightly hazy as she sunk into a different part of her mind that would be able to process what she was about to allow to happen. She couldn't suppress the shudder of repulsion as she felt his hand slide up between her legs and massage her most intimate area. His finger slid the transparent material to the side and she bit back a dry heave as she felt his finger slip inside of her.

"Oh gods, you're tight..." He whispered excitedly, his lips close to her ear as his ground his groin against her thigh. "You're going to feel so fucking good. No wonder Naraku wants you so much." He pumped his finger in and out of her slowly, relishing in the fact that her juices slowly built up, much to Kagome's disgust. Silent tears slid down her cheeks as she averted her eyes from him and from Izayoi as she allowed him to have his way with her. His hand slid up and cupped her breast as his lips latched onto her neck, biting down viciously as he pinched her nipple painfully through the matching transparent bra. She bit back her cry of pain, but the tears flowed freely nonetheless.

"Kagome! Take your hands OFF of her!" Izayoi's voice rent through the air, startling Kagome with the amount of desperation in her voice. She had never heard Izayoi sound shaken in the slightest, not even when he was ravishing her body against her will. "Stop it!"

"I want to hear you scream, bitch!" The man said gruffly as he pinched down harder on her nipple, twisting it slightly. Kagome couldn't hold back anymore and screamed in pain at the horrible feeling. His finger left her pussy and she could feel him fumbling around with the buckle on his belt as he continued to suckle on the bite mark he'd left on her throat. She felt dread build up in her chest as she heard the sound of a zipper being pulled down and then the rustling of fabric as he presumably pulled out his erect cock. "You're going to scream my name before I'm through, bitch." He whispered roughly as lust reverberated in his throat.

"I don't know your name..." She whispered through her tears, refusing to look in the direction of a frantic Izayoi and dreading what was about to happen next.

"Name's Bankotsu, now fuck me you whore." He whispered gruffly and a scream of pain echoed through the air.

Inuyasha growled in frustration as yet another police officer walked past the cage he was currently locked in. When he had discovered that Kagome and his mother had been spirited away by some very skilled criminals, it had taken both Inu no Taisho and Sesshoumaru to bully him into the steel-lined chamber that had built especially for him. His demon had bubbled to the surface and he had been acting like a mindless beast in his search for the two most important females in his life.

He didn't remember what had happened while his inner demon had had full control over his body, he never did remember anything that happened while he was in that state. He knew his face would change and his mannerisms would become more carnal and more primitive, he would become nothing more than a snarling beast ruled by blood-lust. This time it had been different, though... While his mind definitely grew fuzzy, he was more aware of what was going on during that state of mind because it seemed that his human AND his demon had shared a common goal unlike any other time in his life.

Inuyasha couldn't contain his anxiety and anger as he paced back and forth in his small cell. He hadn't been forced into this place since he was a teenager in High School after he got made fun of for being a hanyou. He scanned the room and took in the deep claw marks that were sporadically spread across the walls and ceiling of his little 'calm down' room. He had always hated when he woke up in this room since he couldn't control his inner demon. He could never remember what he had done and that scared him to the point where sometime, he would refuse to leave the room and his mother would have to gather him up in her arms and just rock with him until he fell back asleep to get him out of the room. There was always that fear that he would lose control and hurt the people he cared about, the few individuals that accepted him as he was.

Since Miroku had descended from a long line of monks and possessed his own spiritual powers, he could at least slow Inuyasha down if he lost control, and Sango was descended from the fabled Taijiyas of old that used to exterminate troublesome youkai that tried to upset the delicate balance that existed between humans and youkai. While they no longer exterminated youkai, her father had still passed the culture and the skills down to preserve their heritage so she could definitely hold her own. In fact, her love of boomerangs stemmed from a rather odd wall decoration that she had received from her father as a young girl. Attached to her wall was an overly large boomerang that was made from the bones of a combination of youkai of old that had been passed down for generations. He had a feeling she was quite capable of USING the thing too! She was stronger than a bull!

Inuyasha plopped down on the ground cross-legged with his arms crossed over his chest, one clawed finger tapping on his forearm impatiently. He had no CLUE why he was still stuck in this damn room! The police kept walking past the door and peeking in to look at him like an animal in a cage at the zoo and it was seriously starting to piss him off. Occasionally, Sesshoumaru would come look at him nonchalantly through the thick, bar laden window of the door but he made no move to unlock the door either.

"What the fuck is your problem!" He growled out through the door as his father finally came to the door to look in at him. His expression was worried with an undertone of obvious rage that was barely being held in check, to hell with manners and being polite. "Fucking let me out already!"

Inuyasha ignored the gruffness of his voice as he glared out at his father, who was making no move to release the door and let him out. He felt the frustrated growl build in the back of his throat as he got back to his feet and walked calmly up to the door to glare out at the older taiyoukai staring at him through the door. He could feel his inner demon raging about finding their mate and Inuyasha found himself agreeing with the more irrational portion of himself. His mate was in danger and he NEEDED to find her immediately! That crazy ex-boyfriend of hers could be doing anything to her and here he was, locked away in a reenforced cell designed to protect others from his inner demon and no one would leave him alone regardless of the fact he was completely in control and had focused his rage on on thing... 'find mate!' His inner demon growled out in his mind menacingly and Inuyasha had long since found the same resolve as his inner demon.

"As soon as you regain control I'll let you out, Inuyasha." Inu no Taisho said through the door to his son. His concern was evident on his face as he stared into Inuyasha's eyes apparently searching for something.

"What the fuck pops?" Inuyasha snapped angrily as he growled threateningly, low in the back of his throat. "I've had control for the last two hours!" At this declaration, Inu no Taisho's eyes widened in surprise and a perplexed look filled his face.

"Inuyasha?" His father questioned quietly as he stared intently at his youngest son trying to assess the situation. He had seen his son in this state on many occasions while he was young, but he had developed some sort of control that last slipped when he had discovered some of the circumstances concerning the death of his lovely girlfriend, Kikyo during high school. He had never seen his son look the way he did but still possess the capability of rational thought and more than just snarls and carnal answers given on pure instinct.

While Inu no Taisho definitely saw rage on his son's face, it seemed that there was a desperation that he had never seen. It didn't seem to center around Inuyasha's well-being, either. Most of the time when his inner youkai had bubbled to the surface in this manner, he had been facing the threat of bodily harm or death and his youkai would act in a self-preserving way to protect himself. All he saw was pain, desperation, and worry in his son's normally golden eyes.

"Before I let you out, you need to answer this question." Inu no Taisho said as he stared intently into his son's red-filled eyes. There were jagged purple marks gracing his cheeks as he stood and glared right back between the bars.

"Fine, but hurry the fuck up! I have to find Kagome!" Inuyasha snapped angrily as a vicious growl erupted from his throat, menacing in its intensity as it filled the small space around the hanyou.

"You remember who Kagome is?" Inu no Taisho asked quietly as his eyes narrowed sharply on his son. He had never seen Inuyasha capable of rational thought during this state, let alone able to actually remember those important to him.

"Of course I remember who Kagome is! That fucker that tried to kill her has her!" Inuyasha growled as he crashed his fist against the lead-lined walls, leaving a large dent in the metal. This was an accomplishment in itself since the metal was several feet thick. "I need to save her before he succeeds this time!"

"I'll let you out, but there is a catch." Inu no Taisho said slowly as he mulled this strange situation over in his head. Being a full-blooded taiyoukai, Inu no Taisho had a little bit of insight into the reason Inuyasha was suddenly able to remember another being while he was in his most instinctual existence. He remembered himself how instinctively protective he'd been over Izayoi when he had met her.

"Fucking fine! But hurry up!" Inuyasha snarled as he rose up to his full height and met his father's focused gaze with a nasty glare.

"Okay, you'll allow Kaede to put a rosary on you before we leave. You will stick with me the ENTIRE time!" Inu no Taisho said with command in his voice. Even in his 'carnal' state, Inuyasha was able to tell when his father was completely serious. He was asserting his position as alpha and Inuyasha found himself nodding to his alpha and accepting his terms. He'd put any damn necklace on if it meant getting his Kagome back where she belonged.

December 30, 2010

Notes: Okay, so here's the update on my personal life which I divulged in the last half of a chapter. I'm no longer staying at the domestic violence shelter. I have a do-not-contact court order so if he contacts me in ANY way, he's in contempt of court and we go back (and he'll most likely get chucked in jail... though I doubt he'd be stupid enough to contact me). I went to court in mid-December about my daughter and they said SHE CAN COME HOME! Yep! I'm getting my baby girl back! I've been approved for unsupervised visits and unsupervised overnights to get her re-acclimated to being with me. I had her x-mas eve and most of x-mas day (which was AMAZING), I also had yesterday until today. She's SO much fun, she follows me everywhere right now and is super snuggly. I think she's afraid I'm going to go away again, she got upset when a lady came today and thought it was time to go back to the foster mother.

Also, I got my apartment back on the 15th, devoid of almost ALL of my possessions... He took my TV, xBox, video camera, expensive PrismaColor Markers, and ALL the DVDs and games (basically anything that had any value whatsoever... not a big surprise). Besides that, he threw out most of my stuff minus my clothing... INCLUDING my expensive 120 color box of PrismaColor Pencils . which now costs $180 to replace... Though those are material possessions so while annoyed, I can deal with it, I didn't expect much different... What I AM upset about is the fact that he threw ALL of my photos away... All of my photos of my daughter are digital, but a lot of my childhood pictures are now gone... and ALL of my pictures from high school, which SUCKS to saw the least...

As a result of his 'stroke of brilliance', I sent out a message on Facebook to my friends from high school about what happened and several of them replied to say they'd go through their photos after the holidays and pull some out for me, which has made me feel a bit better. That's seriously just a MEAN thing to do... Who throws someone else's memories out? Keh! Oh well, I'm done with him and I feeling FUCKING fantastic! I haven't felt more happy and relaxed in the last 5 years! I was afraid I'd get lonely and miss him, but it's the EXACT opposite! The only good thing that came from that pathetic excuse for a relationship is my daughter.

Anyway, so I'm on my way back to my mom's house (What? I'm allowed to visit my family now? No effing way? lol), I'm gonna eat some good food and play some video games with my 12 year old brother (I know, it's weird for a 12 year old to be an uncle twice over... in June it'll be thrice over. My sis is preggers again! And I actually get to KNOW my adorable nephew and potentially niece!). My sweet, even-tempered baby bro wants to beat a thirty-something year old guy up o.O

Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you again for the warm vote of support you all gave, it would take too long to reply to all of your well-wishes right now (I'm on a bus headed across the state) and I really just want to post this since it's been AGES since I last posted. Thank you all for sticking with me through all this garbage, things are only going to go up from here, it's a brand new day!
