Chapter 27
The Massacre of the Wolf Demon Tribe
Inu yasha's ears twitched as he tried to hear something besides Kagome's calls to Kouga. He looked at the normally crystal clear waterfall, which now ran red with blood and bits of flesh. Then, he heard it. It was a moan, it was very silent and muffled, it didn't stop either. There was someone alive here.
"Kagome... shhh" he said as he pushed his finger to his lips and turned his head to find the noise. Kagome instantly stopped and moved closer to Inu yasha.
"I hear... moaning" he said, "It's coming from the cave" he said as they walked to the cave. Kagome was trying very hard not to step on any heads, finger's or organs. It proved to be a difficult task, the ground was covered. How could it be this bad? Surely Kouga was strong enough to fight back a bunch of mindless demons, or flee when he knew there were to many. How could this have happened? Kouga would have never let his tribe be brutally murdered in such a manner.
Once they reached the mouth of the cave, they all covered their noses. The smell of rotting flesh was even worse in the cave.
"Uggggmmmmm"
"Someone's definitely in there!" said Miroku.
They wasted no time to walk in and find the person. The cave was dimply lit by the torches placed in all sides of the cave. As they walked in, something fell from the ceiling, like a rather large rock, but not as hard. They all gasped at the same time, blood, limbs, organs, heads... it was everywhere. And not just on the ground, it covered the ceiling, it seemed as if all of the wolf demons in here had exploded at the same time to cover the walls so much.
Kagome, looking at the ceiling, tripped over a limb and fell to the floor with a splash. Her eyes widened as she stared right into the lifeless face of Ginta. She sprang to her feet, screaming as she saw Hakkaku's body lying on top of Ginta's, his usually bright white hair stained red with blood. She knew them... these demons use to call her sister. It pained her to see them like this. Then, she could have sworn she saw their bodies move a little bit.
"Uggggghhhh"
"Ahhhh! It's coming from Ginta's and Hakkaku's bodies!"
Inu yasha stepped toward the pile of bodies, pushing Kagome behind him. He set his hand on Ginta's arm and pushed both of the wolf demons off of the pile.
There he was, it was Kouga, he was alive, for now. His eyes were squinted shut in pain, his neck was crusted with dried blood, and sweat beaded his forehead. His legs were gone, they looked as if they had been ripped right off of his body. The wet crimson liquid soaked him almost completely and dripped onto his dead comrades which he rested on like a bed. It was as if who ever had killed them, simply tossed them into a pile in the corner of the room.
"Kouga!" Kagome shouted as she ran to his side. His eyes opened slightly at the feeling of being lifted up and set back down on soft blanket, not that he could feel the softness, his body felt quite numb besides the pain that burned inside him.
"Ka...go...me?" he looked up into the comforting green eyes he had grown to love, his head resting on her lap. Was she really there? Was he really there? Was he dead? He didn't know what was going on. His brain couldn't focus entirely, he felt dazed and slightly in a dream like state. "Kagome... you're here" he smiled weakly at her.
"Yes" she replied, smiling sadly back.
"Am... Am I dead?"
"No..."
"I'm going to die then..." Kouga muttered, still looking into her eyes, not daring to look away, fearful that it might be the last he would look at them. Kagome didn't say anything, she knew it to be true, and she knew telling him otherwise would be pointless, and would only waste precious time. She absent mindedly began to stroke his forehead with the tips of her fingers, forgetting that Inu yasha was watching.
"At least... I can see... you one more time"
"Kouga, what happened?" She asked him.
"It was something... not of this world. I knew... I knew something was coming... I knew only... for a moment... and then... it came"
"What came Kouga... what was it?"
"A man... a..a demon... I don't know.. He's going to find you Kagome!" his words were quickly followed by a gasp of pain and uncontrollable shaking. He grabbed her hand and held it close to his heart. "Kagome... I love you, you know?"
Kagome kept silent. What was she suppose to say? She knew Kouga wanted her to be his mate, he had wanted it for a long time. She was a prize woman in his eyes, for she had the gift off seeing the jewel shards. But, she never knew Kouga felt so much for her. It made her heart ache that she didn't feel the same. And it wasn't like she was going to say that while he was on his death bed. "Of course you do... I know you don't feel the same...but-" He had to keep pausing for air.
"Kagome... I wont ask much... just stay with me... please" he asked her, holding tightly onto her hand, never wanting to let go. Kagome began to cry, his words were so touching, why did he have to die? "No Kagome, don't cry for me... It's best... this way... Now I don't have to... deal with the pain... of living in a world... without you"
Tears now dropped from her eyes by the bucketful and she broke out into a harsh sob. "Oh Kouga" she cried. She felt so horrible. How could she have hurt someone so badly. She had no idea...
"Goodbye Kagome..." Kouga sighed, he knew he would be dead in seconds. Her guilt mixed with sadness and grief, and without even thinking, she parted with him in a way that was better than anything he could have ever dreamed of.
She kissed him.
It was light, brief, and right on the lips. When she pulled away, he looked into her eyes, a soft blush covered his cheeks as he smiled softly. A look of peace covered his features, like all his pain had gone away with that simple kiss.
"Thank you" he let the words out with his last breathe, and his stump of a body went limp in Kagome's arms. She didn't feel so guilty now that she had been the cause of that look of peace on his face.
Then she turned around...
She once again felt guilt burn through her stomach as she watched Inu yasha walking away from her, out of the cave. How could she have possibly forgotten... Inu yasha was there the whole time! She turned to Miroku's shock stricken face before looking down at the ground. "Goodbye" she sighed to Kouga's dead body as she quickly stood up and ran to Inu yasha as fast as she could.
He was standing outside, just staring up at the moon.
"Inu yasha?"
He turned his head to her for only a moment before quickly turning his back to her completely. She walked closer to him and opened her mouth to apologize but was cut off by Inu yasha.
"You lied to me..."
She gave him a confused look that he couldn't see with his back turned to her. "I what?"
"You lied to me" he repeated firmly.
"What did I lie about?"
"Don't act like you don't know"
"But I really don't!"
He turned around to face her, and the hurt in his eyes made her feel weak. "You told me... you said you didn't love him..."
At first, she didn't know what to say. "But, I never loved him..."
"And you do now?"
"No... Inu yasha, you don't understand-"
"Seemed pretty damn clear to me"
"Inu yasha... I'm so sorry"
"No... you're not, I can hear it in your voice. You're happy you did it"
"Because I felt guilty! He was dying! I just wanted him to leave peacefully"
"Keh"
She felt herself grow hot with anger as a thought occurred to her. "You're one to talk! How does it feel to watch the one you love kiss someone else? HURTS, DOESN'T IT?! At least when I did it, it was out of sadness and guilt. But you! You loved Kikyo! And I was the one who came back to you even after you had CHOSEN HER! YOU CHOSE HER OVER ME AND I STAYED WITH YOU!" she yelled with tears in her eyes.
He didn't say anything. That was a long time ago, but, it was the truth. What could he say? Could he really be mad at her for this after all the pain he had put her through? His emotions were mixed in a jumble of anger, guilt and hurt. He didn't know what to do. So he did the only thing he could think of; he walked away, not saying a word. She didn't stop him, they both had allot to think about.
'I don't regret what I did' she thought to herself as she turned to Miroku and Kirara. "Let's go, I want to go home" she sighed as she got onto Kirara's back behind Miroku who was already on, waiting for the fight to be over. On the way to the well, he wanted to tell her that he thought what she did was not a bad thing, but he couldn't seem to bring himself to say anything. Maybe silence was best at the moment.

Earlier that same day...
(flashback)
It was a bright and beautiful day, not the usual cloudy it had been for the past couple of days. The wolf demon tribe had just finished fighting off a mass of demons which had attacked them not to long ago. Two of the wolf demons sat by the river, arguing with each other. One had a small white mohawk that seemed to shine in the sun, and a chain over his armor. The other had black mohawk, with grey hair on either side, and a vest made from a dark brown fur.
"Give it back Ginta!" The one with the white mohawk yelled.
"Why should I, I saw it first!" retorted Ginta.
"But I caught it!"
"You wouldn't have caught it if I hadn't seen it first!"
"Why you little-" Hakkaku finished his sentence by jumping on top of Ginta, trying desperately to get his rabbit back that Ginta had stolen.
"Get off of me!" Ginta yelled as he accidentally threw the rabbit in an attempt to shove Hakkaku away. They both jumped up and raced to get it, but before they could land a claw on it, another wolf and already eaten it.
"HEY! That was mine!" they both growled at the same time.
"There are plenty of fish in the river guys..." Kouga sighed as he walked passed them.
"I'm sick of fish"
They both crossed there arms and huffed. Ginta walked under a tree and sat down in the shade. Hakkaku sat next to him. "I'm bored..." Hakkaku whined.
"Me too... I wish there were girls in our tribe" Ginta sighed.
"Yeah, I was wondering... why aren't there any girls in the tribe?"
"Well Hakkaku that's because-"
"We have to get out of here!" Kouga yelled to the tribe, "Something bad is coming! We have to go! NOW!"
The wolves stirred to their feet, running to Kouga who was at the lip of the cave. "What's going on Kouga?" one asked.
"You're to late wolf" said a dark voice. They all turned around to see the creature that they knew they had planned on running from.
He stood on top of a large rock in front of the cave, his pale light blue skin sparkled in the sunlight, his black hair blew about him in the wind, and his incredibly large black wings were spread out behind him. His eyes were completely black, no white showed what so ever. The only article of clothing on his body was a large black blanket that wrapped around his waist. His pale blue stomach shined in the sun.
Kouga was taken aback, he had never seen such a creature, and his very presence chilled him to the bone. Something was not right about this guy, he was dangerous, and Kouga knew it. His comrades held their staves in front of them, ready to fight.
"Who... who are you?" Kouga wondered.
The creature laughed into his fist. "It doesn't matter" he replied.
Kouga grew angry, not satisfied with this answer. "What the hell do you want?"
"The jewel shards, of course"
"Really?" Kouga smirked, "You can have my jewel shards when you can tear them off of my cold dead limbs!" Kouga replied.
"Not a problem"
Right when the creature had said these words, all the wolf demons attacked. He didn't even flinch, he simply stood there, waiting for the attack, laughing. Then, he vanished.
"Wha? Where'd he go?" one called out.
"ABOVE!"
Suddenly the creature appeared above them, his wings holding him in the air as he reached out his hand. Suddenly over half of the wolf demons were lifted into the air. "What the hell is going on?"
The creature laughed madly as the wolf demons bodies began to bend in odd ways. The disgusting sound of cracking and grinding filled the air as the demons were crushed by some unknown force. They all screamed in agony, before their body parts and cracked skulls showered the ground.
The rest attacked in blind rage, running at him, throwing their staves. He simply flicked his wrist and they flew into the cave, smashing so hard against the walls, it spread through out the cave.
Kouga's eyes widened, what the hell was this guy? Seeing the death of his new comrades, he screamed madly and charged the creature with all his might, but alas, by the time he had reached him, he had disappeared. "Damn, he's to fast..."
"KOUGA WATCH OUT!" Ginta screamed as he jumped on top of Kouga and they both smashed into the ground. "Ginta, what are you-" Kouga gasped, "GINTA!"
Ginta lay on top of Kouga, his eyes wide open and a bloody hole through his spine. He was dead right when they hit the ground! Hakkaku watched the scene before him, and he snapped. "Ginta!!! Ginta!!!" he cried as tears leaked down his red cheeks. His tear glazed eyes fixed on the blue creature with rage. "YOU BASTARD!!!!" Hakkaku screamed as he mindlessly charged the creature.
"NO! HAKKAKU!" Kouga screamed, pushing Ginta's body off of him and running to the scene. The creature smirked and this time, he did not vanish, he simply stood there and let Hakkaku punch him right in the face. Then, it stayed just like that for a moment, Hakkaku's fist on his blue pale face.
Hakkaku's eyes widened as he coughed up blood. He looked down to see that the creature's claw had gone right through his stomach and out the other side. Hakkaku fell to his knees as the creature pulled his hand out of his stomach with one swift cracking movement. Then, his limp body hit the floor with a splash, landing in a pool of blood.
Kouga stood only a few feet away, all of his tribe was dead. Pain and fear were clearly drawn on his face. He had never been so scared in his life. This man scared him like no one else could. The creature started walking towards Kouga, and he backed away until he felt his back press against the wall of the cave. Kouga growled, "I will not die a coward!" he yelled as he went to strike.
His attempts were instantly halted when he smashed back into the wall with clawed fingers tightly wrapped around his neck, his claws drawing blood. Kouga gagged, bringing his hand up to try and pull away the creatures claws off his throat. His attempts were useless. The creature leaned his blue face into Kouga's neck and inhaled deeply, shivering as he pulled back. "Oh, you're fear smells so good. That's right, fear me... you're going to die... Kouga"
"How- did you- know my- name?" he gagged.
"You're fear... It is so easy to read people when they are so scared" he laughed. He paused as he seemed to be searching Kouga's mind. "You know where the other part of the jewel is" his eyes widened, "Where?! Where is it?!"
"NO!" Kouga shouted. "NO YOU CAN'T MAKE ME! I WONT!" Kouga tried hard not to think of Kagome, but, even though his mind was elsewhere, the creature was very good at searching his mind. "A woman? A Miko!" he smiled.
"You love her..." he laughed madly as leaned into Kouga's ear.
"I'll make sure her death is slow and painful" he whispered. "YOU MOTHER FUCKER!" Kouga shouted, kicking him hard in the stomach. The creature flew back and crashed into the ground, slightly cushioned by the dead bodies that had scattered in the cave. He floated back onto his feet very quickly, and whipped away the dark blue liquid that fell from his lips.
He looked at his strange blood on his hand, "I... have never seen my own blood" he looked back to Kouga.
"No, I don't think I will rip the jewel shards from your cold dead limbs... I think I will very much enjoy hearing your screams of agony"
"Fuck you" Kouga snarled as he ran to him and jumped, attacking with an air kick. The creature ran toward Kouga and his clawed hand wrapped around his ankle and he smashed him into the ground. He dug his claws deep into Kouga's ankle and he continually smashed Kouga into the walls and the floor.
Finally, after long long moments of this brutal treatment, he smashed him against the hard stone ground yet again, this time, letting go of his ankle.
Kouga hunched over, trying as hard as he could just to breath. He sat on the floor helplessly as the creature walked up to him, and with both hands, grabbed on to Kouga's knee.
"GAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Kouga screamed in agonizing pain as the creature twisted his knee, and with a horrible crunch, separated it from the rest of his body. He dropped the limb to the side as he set his claws on Kouga's other knee. "Noooo! NOOO!!" Kouga screamed, and with yet another disgusting crunch, Kouga's other leg had been ripped off from the rest of his body. Blood spread across the ground he lay on. The creature pulled the jewel shards out from the limbs and stood over Kouga's body before grabbing his hair and dragging him to lay on a pile of dead bodies.
"You will die slowly and painfully, surrounded by those whom you were suppose to protect. And don't worry, the Miko will be joining you soon" he laughed as he grabbed Ginta's and Hakkaku's lifeless bodies and threw them on top of Kouga.

A/N: Ok listen, I understand I'm getting way off of my original story, but since I wish to finish off my whole Inu yasha story, this is the way it goes. Do you get what I mean? I want to get my whole story out in one shot instead of using sequals. So, I guess this story will go on for longer than I originally thought. I thought this story would have been over with last chapters, but I keep getting ideas... I can't help it. By the way, when Kagome says to Inu yasha that he chose Kikyo, I was referring to the part in the series where he was going to tell Kagome not to come back because he decided he loved Kikyo. Also, I know Ginta and Hakkaku are the only 2 survivors of the wolf tribe, but in this, I made it to where they kind of recruted more since then... I donno, I just wanted the scene of all the bodies... shut up, its my fic.

A/N: Guess what? I went to the house, the one were that bitch painted over my old room and they still haven't bought the house. The ONE fucking room in the house we asked them not to touch.

They painted the kitchen puke green, I ask you... does puke green make you feel like eating? The wall by the stairs yellow... these people have fucked up taste.

Chapter 27
The Massacre of the Wolf Demon Tribe
Inu yasha's ears twitched as he tried to hear something besides Kagome's calls to Kouga. He looked at the normally crystal clear waterfall, which now ran red with blood and bits of flesh. Then, he heard it. It was a moan, it was very silent and muffled, it didn't stop either. There was someone alive here.

It proved to be a difficult task, the ground was covered. How could it be this bad? Surely Kouga was strong enough to fight back a bunch of mindless demons, or flee when he knew there were to many. How could this have happened? Kouga would have never let his tribe be brutally murdered in such a manner.
Once they reached the mouth of the cave, they all covered their noses. The smell of rotting flesh was even worse in the cave.
"Uggggmmmmm"
"Someone's definitely in there!" said Miroku.
They wasted no time to walk in and find the person. The cave was dimply lit by the torches placed in all sides of the cave. As they walked in, something fell from the ceiling, like a rather large rock, but not as hard. They all gasped at the same time, blood, limbs, organs, heads... it was everywhere. And not just on the ground, it covered the ceiling, it seemed as if all of the wolf demons in here had exploded at the same time to cover the walls so much.
Kagome, looking at the ceiling, tripped over a limb and fell to the floor with a splash. Her eyes widened as she stared right into the lifeless face of Ginta.

It pained her to see them like this. Then, she could have sworn she saw their bodies move a little bit.
"Uggggghhhh"
"Ahhhh! It's coming from Ginta's and Hakkaku's bodies!"
Inu yasha stepped toward the pile of bodies, pushing Kagome behind him. He set his hand on Ginta's arm and pushed both of the wolf demons off of the pile.
There he was, it was Kouga, he was alive, for now. His eyes were squinted shut in pain, his neck was crusted with dried blood, and sweat beaded his forehead. His legs were gone, they looked as if they had been ripped right off of his body. The wet crimson liquid soaked him almost completely and dripped onto his dead comrades which he rested on like a bed. It was as if who ever had killed them, simply tossed them into a pile in the corner of the room.
"Kouga!" Kagome shouted as she ran to his side. His eyes opened slightly at the feeling of being lifted up and set back down on soft blanket, not that he could feel the softness, his body felt quite numb besides the pain that burned inside him.
"Ka...go...me?" he looked up into the comforting green eyes he had grown to love, his head resting on her lap. Was she really there? Was he really there? Was he dead? He didn't know what was going on. His brain couldn't focus entirely, he felt dazed and slightly in a dream like state. "Kagome... you're here" he smiled weakly at her.
"Yes" she replied, smiling sadly back.
"Am... Am I dead?"
"No..."
"I'm going to die then..." Kouga muttered, still looking into her eyes, not daring to look away, fearful that it might be the last he would look at them. Kagome didn't say anything, she knew it to be true, and she knew telling him otherwise would be pointless, and would only waste precious time. She absent mindedly began to stroke his forehead with the tips of her fingers, forgetting that Inu yasha was watching.
"At least... I can see... you one more time"
"Kouga, what happened?" She asked him.
"It was something... not of this world. I knew... I knew something was coming... I knew only... for a moment... and then... it came"
"What came Kouga... what was it?"
"A man... a..a demon... I don't know.. He's going to find you Kagome!" his words were quickly followed by a gasp of pain and uncontrollable shaking. He grabbed her hand and held it close to his heart. "Kagome... I love you, you know?"
Kagome kept silent. What was she suppose to say? She knew Kouga wanted her to be his mate, he had wanted it for a long time. She was a prize woman in his eyes, for she had the gift off seeing the jewel shards. But, she never knew Kouga felt so much for her. It made her heart ache that she didn't feel the same. And it wasn't like she was going to say that while he was on his death bed. "Of course you do... I know you don't feel the same...but-" He had to keep pausing for air.
"Kagome... I wont ask much... just stay with me... please" he asked her, holding tightly onto her hand, never wanting to let go. Kagome began to cry, his words were so touching, why did he have to die? "No Kagome, don't cry for me... It's best... this way... Now I don't have to... deal with the pain... of living in a world... without you"
Tears now dropped from her eyes by the bucketful and she broke out into a harsh sob. "Oh Kouga" she cried. She felt so horrible. How could she have hurt someone so badly. She had no idea...
"Goodbye Kagome..." Kouga sighed, he knew he would be dead in seconds. Her guilt mixed with sadness and grief, and without even thinking, she parted with him in a way that was better than anything he could have ever dreamed of.
She kissed him.
It was light, brief, and right on the lips. When she pulled away, he looked into her eyes, a soft blush covered his cheeks as he smiled softly. A look of peace covered his features, like all his pain had gone away with that simple kiss.
"Thank you" he let the words out with his last breathe, and his stump of a body went limp in Kagome's arms. She didn't feel so guilty now that she had been the cause of that look of peace on his face.
Then she turned around...
She once again felt guilt burn through her stomach as she watched Inu yasha walking away from her, out of the cave. How could she have possibly forgotten... Inu yasha was there the whole time! She turned to Miroku's shock stricken face before looking down at the ground. "Goodbye" she sighed to Kouga's dead body as she quickly stood up and ran to Inu yasha as fast as she could.
He was standing outside, just staring up at the moon.
"Inu yasha?"
He turned his head to her for only a moment before quickly turning his back to her completely. She walked closer to him and opened her mouth to apologize but was cut off by Inu yasha.
"You lied to me..."
She gave him a confused look that he couldn't see with his back turned to her. "I what?"
"You lied to me" he repeated firmly.
"What did I lie about?"
"Don't act like you don't know"
"But I really don't!"
He turned around to face her, and the hurt in his eyes made her feel weak. "You told me... you said you didn't love him..."
At first, she didn't know what to say. "But, I never loved him..."
"And you do now?"
"No... Inu yasha, you don't understand-"
"Seemed pretty damn clear to me"
"Inu yasha... I'm so sorry"
"No... you're not, I can hear it in your voice. You're happy you did it"
"Because I felt guilty! He was dying! I just wanted him to leave peacefully"
"Keh"
She felt herself grow hot with anger as a thought occurred to her. "You're one to talk! How does it feel to watch the one you love kiss someone else? HURTS, DOESN'T IT?! At least when I did it, it was out of sadness and guilt. But you! You loved Kikyo! And I was the one who came back to you even after you had CHOSEN HER! YOU CHOSE HER OVER ME AND I STAYED WITH YOU!" she yelled with tears in her eyes.
He didn't say anything. That was a long time ago, but, it was the truth. What could he say? Could he really be mad at her for this after all the pain he had put her through? His emotions were mixed in a jumble of anger, guilt and hurt. He didn't know what to do. So he did the only thing he could think of; he walked away, not saying a word. She didn't stop him, they both had allot to think about.
'I don't regret what I did' she thought to herself as she turned to Miroku and Kirara. "Let's go, I want to go home" she sighed as she got onto Kirara's back behind Miroku who was already on, waiting for the fight to be over. On the way to the well, he wanted to tell her that he thought what she did was not a bad thing, but he couldn't seem to bring himself to say anything. Maybe silence was best at the moment.

Earlier that same day...
(flashback)
It was a bright and beautiful day, not the usual cloudy it had been for the past couple of days. The wolf demon tribe had just finished fighting off a mass of demons which had attacked them not to long ago. Two of the wolf demons sat by the river, arguing with each other. One had a small white mohawk that seemed to shine in the sun, and a chain over his armor. The other had black mohawk, with grey hair on either side, and a vest made from a dark brown fur.
"Give it back Ginta!" The one with the white mohawk yelled.
"Why should I, I saw it first!" retorted Ginta.
"But I caught it!"
"You wouldn't have caught it if I hadn't seen it first!"
"Why you little-" Hakkaku finished his sentence by jumping on top of Ginta, trying desperately to get his rabbit back that Ginta had stolen.
"Get off of me!" Ginta yelled as he accidentally threw the rabbit in an attempt to shove Hakkaku away. They both jumped up and raced to get it, but before they could land a claw on it, another wolf and already eaten it.
"HEY! That was mine!" they both growled at the same time.
"There are plenty of fish in the river guys..." Kouga sighed as he walked passed them.
"I'm sick of fish"
They both crossed there arms and huffed. Ginta walked under a tree and sat down in the shade. Hakkaku sat next to him. "I'm bored..." Hakkaku whined.
"Me too... I wish there were girls in our tribe" Ginta sighed.
"Yeah, I was wondering... why aren't there any girls in the tribe?"
"Well Hakkaku that's because-"
"We have to get out of here!" Kouga yelled to the tribe, "Something bad is coming! We have to go! NOW!"
The wolves stirred to their feet, running to Kouga who was at the lip of the cave. "What's going on Kouga?" one asked.
"You're to late wolf" said a dark voice. They all turned around to see the creature that they knew they had planned on running from.
He stood on top of a large rock in front of the cave, his pale light blue skin sparkled in the sunlight, his black hair blew about him in the wind, and his incredibly large black wings were spread out behind him. His eyes were completely black, no white showed what so ever. The only article of clothing on his body was a large black blanket that wrapped around his waist. His pale blue stomach shined in the sun.
Kouga was taken aback, he had never seen such a creature, and his very presence chilled him to the bone. Something was not right about this guy, he was dangerous, and Kouga knew it. His comrades held their staves in front of them, ready to fight.
"Who... who are you?" Kouga wondered.
The creature laughed into his fist. "It doesn't matter" he replied.
Kouga grew angry, not satisfied with this answer. "What the hell do you want?"
"The jewel shards, of course"
"Really?" Kouga smirked, "You can have my jewel shards when you can tear them off of my cold dead limbs!" Kouga replied.
"Not a problem"
Right when the creature had said these words, all the wolf demons attacked. He didn't even flinch, he simply stood there, waiting for the attack, laughing. Then, he vanished.
"Wha? Where'd he go?" one called out.
"ABOVE!"
Suddenly the creature appeared above them, his wings holding him in the air as he reached out his hand. Suddenly over half of the wolf demons were lifted into the air. "What the hell is going on?"
The creature laughed madly as the wolf demons bodies began to bend in odd ways. The disgusting sound of cracking and grinding filled the air as the demons were crushed by some unknown force. They all screamed in agony, before their body parts and cracked skulls showered the ground.
The rest attacked in blind rage, running at him, throwing their staves. He simply flicked his wrist and they flew into the cave, smashing so hard against the walls, it spread through out the cave.
Kouga's eyes widened, what the hell was this guy? Seeing the death of his new comrades, he screamed madly and charged the creature with all his might, but alas, by the time he had reached him, he had disappeared. "Damn, he's to fast..."
"KOUGA WATCH OUT!" Ginta screamed as he jumped on top of Kouga and they both smashed into the ground. "Ginta, what are you-" Kouga gasped, "GINTA!"
Ginta lay on top of Kouga, his eyes wide open and a bloody hole through his spine. He was dead right when they hit the ground! Hakkaku watched the scene before him, and he snapped. "Ginta!!! Ginta!!!" he cried as tears leaked down his red cheeks. His tear glazed eyes fixed on the blue creature with rage. "YOU BASTARD!!!!" Hakkaku screamed as he mindlessly charged the creature.
"NO! HAKKAKU!" Kouga screamed, pushing Ginta's body off of him and running to the scene. The creature smirked and this time, he did not vanish, he simply stood there and let Hakkaku punch him right in the face. Then, it stayed just like that for a moment, Hakkaku's fist on his blue pale face.
Hakkaku's eyes widened as he coughed up blood. He looked down to see that the creature's claw had gone right through his stomach and out the other side. Hakkaku fell to his knees as the creature pulled his hand out of his stomach with one swift cracking movement. Then, his limp body hit the floor with a splash, landing in a pool of blood.
Kouga stood only a few feet away, all of his tribe was dead. Pain and fear were clearly drawn on his face. He had never been so scared in his life. This man scared him like no one else could. The creature started walking towards Kouga, and he backed away until he felt his back press against the wall of the cave. Kouga growled, "I will not die a coward!" he yelled as he went to strike.
His attempts were instantly halted when he smashed back into the wall with clawed fingers tightly wrapped around his neck, his claws drawing blood. Kouga gagged, bringing his hand up to try and pull away the creatures claws off his throat. His attempts were useless. The creature leaned his blue face into Kouga's neck and inhaled deeply, shivering as he pulled back. "Oh, you're fear smells so good. That's right, fear me... you're going to die... Kouga"
"How- did you- know my- name?" he gagged.
"You're fear... It is so easy to read people when they are so scared" he laughed. He paused as he seemed to be searching Kouga's mind. "You know where the other part of the jewel is" his eyes widened, "Where?! Where is it?!"
"NO!" Kouga shouted. "NO YOU CAN'T MAKE ME! I WONT!" Kouga tried hard not to think of Kagome, but, even though his mind was elsewhere, the creature was very good at searching his mind. "A woman? A Miko!" he smiled.
"You love her..." he laughed madly as leaned into Kouga's ear.
"I'll make sure her death is slow and painful" he whispered. "YOU MOTHER FUCKER!" Kouga shouted, kicking him hard in the stomach. The creature flew back and crashed into the ground, slightly cushioned by the dead bodies that had scattered in the cave. He floated back onto his feet very quickly, and whipped away the dark blue liquid that fell from his lips.
He looked at his strange blood on his hand, "I... have never seen my own blood" he looked back to Kouga.
"No, I don't think I will rip the jewel shards from your cold dead limbs... I think I will very much enjoy hearing your screams of agony"
"Fuck you" Kouga snarled as he ran to him and jumped, attacking with an air kick. The creature ran toward Kouga and his clawed hand wrapped around his ankle and he smashed him into the ground. He dug his claws deep into Kouga's ankle and he continually smashed Kouga into the walls and the floor.
Finally, after long long moments of this brutal treatment, he smashed him against the hard stone ground yet again, this time, letting go of his ankle.
Kouga hunched over, trying as hard as he could just to breath. He sat on the floor helplessly as the creature walked up to him, and with both hands, grabbed on to Kouga's knee.
"GAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Kouga screamed in agonizing pain as the creature twisted his knee, and with a horrible crunch, separated it from the rest of his body. He dropped the limb to the side as he set his claws on Kouga's other knee. "Noooo! NOOO!!" Kouga screamed, and with yet another disgusting crunch, Kouga's other leg had been ripped off from the rest of his body. Blood spread across the ground he lay on. The creature pulled the jewel shards out from the limbs and stood over Kouga's body before grabbing his hair and dragging him to lay on a pile of dead bodies.
"You will die slowly and painfully, surrounded by those whom you were suppose to protect. And don't worry, the Miko will be joining you soon" he laughed as he grabbed Ginta's and Hakkaku's lifeless bodies and threw them on top of Kouga.

A/N: Ok listen, I understand I'm getting way off of my original story, but since I wish to finish off my whole Inu yasha story, this is the way it goes. Do you get what I mean? I want to get my whole story out in one shot instead of using sequals. So, I guess this story will go on for longer than I originally thought. I thought this story would have been over with last chapters, but I keep getting ideas... I can't help it. By the way, when Kagome says to Inu yasha that he chose Kikyo, I was referring to the part in the series where he was going to tell Kagome not to come back because he decided he loved Kikyo. Also, I know Ginta and Hakkaku are the only 2 survivors of the wolf tribe, but in this, I made it to where they kind of recruted more since then... I donno, I just wanted the scene of all the bodies... shut up, its my fic.
