Chapter 13- Walk All Over You

 

*Inuyasha's Gang*

 

It had been nearly three weeks since the last time they had faced Naraku. He had just vanished off the face of the earth. Inuyasha was just frustrated. The whole encounter with Naraku and Sesshomaru had been just a week after finding out about Kikyo and Sesshomaru's disgusting relationship. Inuyasha had been surprised that Naraku didn't offer to join forces with him to destroy Sesshomaru. Not that he would have done it, but he probably would have thought about it.

 

He couldn't believe that Sesshomaru would sleep with anyone and to hear that his sex slave was Kikyo, made him ill. Inuyasha couldn't believe that Kikyo could claim to love him, but have that relationship with his brother of all people.

 

They were all sitting in Kaede's hut surrounding the blazing fire. Well, all of them were sitting except for Miroku. He had grabbed Sango and needless to say, he was lying rather awkwardly on the other side of the room. Kagome sat next to Inuyasha, but he hadn't said more than five sentences to the whole group since the last time he fought Naraku. All of them had been shocked to hear of Kikyo becoming Sesshomaru's whore.

 

Except for the two who had already known.

 

The old priestess said nothing about the whole situation when she had been informed. Kagome sighed blood was thicker than water and Kikyo is Kaede's sister, so…

 

“I can't believe that bitch would fuck my brother!” Inuyasha leapt to his feet.

 

Everyone looked at him in slight shock, but in truth this had been a long time coming.

 

He began to pace the hut, running his clawed hands through his hair while he mumbled to himself about what a deceitful whore Kikyo was. Kagome smiled, but it didn't vanish from her face fast enough when Inuyasha spun back around. He froze when he looked at her, his gold eyes narrowing.

 

“What the fuck are you smiling about?! Do you think it's funny to see me like this?! Do you like seeing me in pain like this?!” Inuyasha was more than pissed.

 

How dare her sit there and smile at him while he was miserable? He thought Kagome cared about him, but all she liked was to see him in pain. This proved it too! He was even more pissed when he saw that she wasn't even listening to him.

 

Kagome's face was blank as she could sense it. “Inuyasha, I sense two jewel shards coming this way.”

 

Inuyasha stopped in mid tirade as his nose and ears twitched. A growl ripped from his lips and his fangs were bared in a snarl. His triangle ears pinned back to his head, so tightly that they nearly vanished in his thick white hair. “That fucking wolf!” He charged out the door with Tetsusaiga already unsheathed.

 

He watched as a tornado vanished revealing a black hair wolf demon man. The male wolf demon regarded him with a sardonic smirk and crossed his arms over his chest. “How's it going, mutt face?”

 

“Koga! You bastard!” He began to move to make the wind scar.

 

“Sit!” Kagome shouted and watched as the half demon slammed into the ground. She stepped over him and walked over to wolf demon. “Hi Koga.”

 

“How's it going, Kagome?” His eyes went passed the human he had once loved and looked at the demon slayer behind her.

 

“What the hell are you doing here, Koga? I thought I told you to leave Kagome alone.” Inuyasha jumped to his feet and left Tetsusaiga in the snow.

 

Koga smiled at Sango, before he turned back to Inuyasha. “I came to see the exterminator, not Kagome.” He announced.

 

Inuyasha's nose twitched when he could smell her arousal as she brushed past him. “What the hell?” He whispered to himself.

 

“I need to talk to her and show her a few things. We'll be back in a few hours.” Koga began to walk into the woods with Sango following.

 

`How long has Sango been fucking Koga? What's next? Kaede's going to announce that she's been sleeping with Naraku?'

 

The half demon nearly lost his ramen with that thought and shook his head.

 

Koga whirled back around shocking Inuyasha, Sango, and Kagome. “Oh yeah, there's something you need to hear, mutt face.”

 

“What?” Inuyasha snarled.

 

“There's been a lot of talking going on among high demon society.” Koga began.

 

“So what?” Inuyasha scoffed. “Why the hell would I care what happens in high demon society?” He folded his arms across his chest with his hands folded in the sleeves of his red robes.

 

“I thought you might like to know that your all-powerful brother, Sesshomaru, has taken a mate.”

 

The three were stunned. “So, the bastard has a sex slave while he takes a demon bitch as his mate.” Inuyasha's smile could only be described as cruel and hate filled.

 

“That's the thing, though. What stunned society is that fact that his mate is human.”

 

“Sesshomaru took a human mate?” Kagome asked with a frown. She shook her head. “Who told you that? I'm sure it's just gossip.”

 

Koga shook his head. “I was there when he told the other lord's. Nobody really cares though, because she can't give him a half demon child anyway.”

 

“Why not?” Kagome was now really puzzled. She looked at Inuyasha in confusion when he began to laugh.

 

“What are you laughing at?” Koga asked.

 

“You're joking right? You are just fucking with me, you have to be.” Inuyasha's laughter was so cold that it made Kagome freeze where she stood.

 

Surely, he didn't think…

 

Koga didn't even pay attention to them when Sango touched his arm. “Koga, why can't she have children?” It was obvious that Sango wasn't thinking the same thing Inuyasha and Kagome were.

 

Koga snorted. “Because it appears that the Western Lord believes that the only good human is a dead human. His bitch is an undead priestess.”

 

“I can't believe he claimed Kikyo as his mate.” Kagome stared at Koga in shock.

 

They both turned to Inuyasha when he began to snarl. His claws dug into his hands and blood dripped from them, into the snow.

 

“Damn, he smells just like a full blooded demon.” Koga shook his head slightly at the sight before him.

 

Kagome's eyes locked on the Tetsusaiga.

 

“Can't you control yourself for five minutes, half breed?” Sesshomaru's voice was mocking and emotionless.

 

Kagome whirled to face the demon lord. He stood with the two headed dragon next to him. His ward Rin was sitting on its back with a blanket around her. It was obvious that she had been crying. Even the stupid little toad, Jaken looked distressed.

 

“You bastard!” Inuyasha's demonic voice snarled.

 

Kagome noticed the woman's form wrapped in a simple white blanket. Sesshomaru was holding the woman with two arms. “Where did you get that other arm?”

 

He totally ignored Inuyasha as he continued to snarl. “It was a gift from my mate.”

 

Inuyasha moved to attack.

 

“Sit.” A weak voice whispered.

 

All present watched in shock as the raging demon slammed face first into the snow.

 

Kagome and Sango spun to face the woman in Sesshomaru's arms.

 

He walked passed the fallen half demon and knelt down, with Kikyo still in his arms. He grabbed the sword, without thinking, and laid it on top of Inuyasha's hand.

 

“What is going on out here?” Kaede walked from the hut with a shaking Shippo on her shoulder.

 

“Priestess, there is something wrong with my mate, and you know what it is. This Sesshomaru demands that you tell him.”

 

Inuyasha put the Tetsusaiga back in its sheath and brushed the snow from him. He glared at Sesshomaru and Kikyo in disgust.

 

Kaede ignored everyone as she walked toward Kikyo. Her one eye flew open in shock as she saw the condition of her sister. “What did ye do to her?”

 

“I did nothing to her, old woman. I returned to my palace last evening, before sunset, and she was fine. When I woke up this morning, she was like this.” He replied blandly. A growl passed through his lips and he jerked back when Inuyasha moved toward him.

 

“Stay back, Inuyasha.” Kaede ordered. She could sense Sesshomaru's emotional turmoil. He was concerned for Kikyo, but denying it. She had heard much about him, since the day he had taken Kikyo as his sex slave.

 

She knew he was cold, stoic, seemed very emotionless. But he wasn't emotionless. He had played the emotionless persona for a long time and he couldn't have done it, if his inner beast didn't want him to or felt something for the creature in question.

 

Something had triggered the demon lord's cold demeanor to crack, just enough that he would show compassion. People said that his father had been caring and compassionate, perhaps Sesshomaru's inner beast was the same. For whatever reason, Kaede had the feeling that Sesshomaru stomped it down. Perhaps it was the loss of his father or his mother, but Sesshomaru was a very guarded person.

 

He also seemed very unbalanced.

 

Most demons were, because demons had two parts to them. The rational side and the primal side. Often times they would battle inside the demon's mind for dominance. It took a very strong demon to maintain the balance.

 

Kaede thought that it was probably Sesshomaru's decision to suppress his more primal half after the fight over the Tetsusaiga. She knew that the last time he had released it was the day that he met Kikyo.

 

Kaede glanced at the crying girl. She couldn't have been more than eleven years old. She had to be Sesshomaru's ward. She had to be the initial crack in Sesshomaru's stoic armor. Her and Inuyasha anyway.

 

Now Kikyo could be added to the list.

 

Inuyasha, being the impulsive dense one that he is well known for, appraoched toward Kikyo and Sesshomaru again. He might hate both of them right now, but Kikyo had been his first love and he was worried about her.

 

Kagome moved to pull Inuyasha back. It was obvious that he saw Inuyasha as a threat to his relationship with his mate. Kagome was stopped by Kaede's hand wrapping around her wrist. “Nay child, ye may be in danger if Sesshomaru loses control.”

 

“Inuyasha leave him alone.” Kagome backed up as Kaede did the same. Both of them could feel Sesshomaru's aura flaring violently. For some reason, he was about to lose control. Kagome had never seen Sesshomaru this off before. Well, except for the time that she had stumbled across Sesshomaru and Kikyo when they were…Yuck! She didn't even want to think of that.

 

Sesshomaru's mouth opened in a snarl with his fangs bared. He backed up until his back hit a tree, but still, Inuyasha continued to stalk him. He remembered how the half demon had made his mate cry and said those horrible things to her. He looked down at his fragile mate as she labored for breath in his arms. He had come here seeking help for her, but ended up with the half demon in his face.

 

“What the hell?” Inuyasha finally stilled when he saw a gust of wind whip Sesshomaru's hair behind him. He took a step back when Sesshomaru's eyes turned red and his markings became jagged. Inuyasha held his hands up in a gesture meant to offer submission to the primal side of the demon in front of him.

 

Red eyes flickered to the wolf demon, but he sensed no threat from the wolf. His eyes might have left the half demon, but he hadn't taken his attention from him. He knew that this little boy in front of him was his brother.

 

That and only that was why the pup still lived.

 

Kaede stepped toward Sesshomaru and he growled, pressing back against the tree even more. This old priestess was a friend of the half demon. The half demon had wanted his mate for a long time. He was her ex-lover. What if one of the people here acted like they would help her, but take her and give her to his half brother? He would kill them, but that would waste time. The only thing that mattered was getting his mate the help she needed.

 

“Lord Sesshomaru.”

 

Red eyes turned to the human girl as she walked toward him. This girl was his pup. Though she was human, she was his child. He had killed for her and would kill for her again. She was no threat to him. Nor was the two headed dragon or the toad demon.

 

“Please Lord Sesshomaru.” Rin tugged on his billowing sleeve. “You came here to get help for Mama Kikyo. Please let them help her?”

 

He nodded sharply, not even sure he could speak. He turned his eyes to the old priestess and nodded at her.

 

“Follow me, Lord Sesshomaru.” Kaede walked into her hut and Sesshomaru carried Kikyo inside. Rin and Jaken followed as did Inuyasha. Ah-Un shook his heads at the entire by-play and snorted before he laid down next to the hut. Kagome turned to Koga and Sango and waved them away. Koga had come here to see Sango, and Inuyasha wouldn't care what was going on because of Sesshomaru.

 

It was the perfect time for the two lovers to run off together. Koga grabbed Sango into his arms and the two of them were gone in the fury of Koga's tornado.

 

Sesshomaru's nose twitched in disgust as he entered the hut. He sat indian style with his mate in his lap. Aware of the threat the half demon represented and the health of his mate. He was also aware of the negative, unidentifiable feelings radiating from the reincarnation.

 

Red eyes leered at the small priestess. At one time he had desired her, but now all he wanted was the woman in his arms. The other girl was petty, whiny, and jealous.

 

As far as the demon was concerned, she didn't even deserve Inuyasha.

 

He blinked when he saw the blanket wrapping his mate, being opened. “No.” He snarled.

 

Kaede looked up at him with irritation shining in her one eye. “Lord Sesshomaru, I need to see Kikyo's body, if I am to find out what happened to her. No one here is going to take her from you. We want to help her get better.”

 

Sesshomaru turned to glare at Kagome again, before he turned back to Kaede, and opened the blanket. Kikyo whimpered and turned her face to bury it in Sesshomaru's stomach. He rubbed his chin against the top of her head, trying to comfort his mate. He knew she didn't want them to see her body, but the old hag was right. She needed to see her body to help her.

 

“What did you do to her, Sesshomaru?!” Inuyasha barked when he saw the bite marks and scratches on Kikyo. He jumped to his feet, intending to take her from Sesshomaru.

 

“GET AWAY!” Sesshomaru roared at Inuyasha.

 

“Sit!” Kagome shouted at the same time.

 

The half demon hit the floor with a crash and a groan. This only slightly subdued the demon lord.

 

Kaede shook her head.

 

This was going to be along night.

 

Next Chapter: A long night with the sister-in-law.

 

A/N: Okay, Sesshomaru is like this because his inner beast sees Inuyasha as a threat to his relationship with his mate. He knows that Kikyo loves Inuyasha, and that Inuyasha loved her. He is afraid that Inuyasha will take Kikyo from him, despite the fact that he has Kagome. This is only the first half of a really long chapter. The next half may be up in the next week or so. I hope it was okay. Thanks for reading! Until next time…
