InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Love's True Pain: Caught In the Crossfire ❯ The Crossfire (Alternate) ( Chapter 10 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

“Oh God, Kags are you okay?” Sang rushed to her best friend's aid while Miroku was busying himself with Ginta and Hakkaku, and Inuyasha was marching towards Koga. The wolf demon hurriedly grabbed his pants and put them on (who really wants to fight in their underwear, or fight someone who's in their underwear for that matter?). When his jeans were buttoned he leapt at the raging hanyou in front of him but was easily deflected into another one of the concrete walls.

Miroku had finished tying up Koga's sidekicks, and Sango had finished with Kagome, but when they looked over to Inuyasha they were terrified. “Sango, is it just me or is Inuyasha getting purple stripes on his cheeks? And are they getting bigger?” “No Kagome, you're right. What we're seeing right now is his demon form, he's not fully there yet, but pretty close. Whenever his rage gets too high, his body starts turning almost fully demon. All of his senses increase, he gets stronger, and faster, but as result he loses most of his humanity.”

Kagome could only stare her lover, she was in awe. “Oh.” She watched him repeatedly knock down Koga, and yet she still wasn't afraid. Sure, she'd listened to Sango, but how could he not be himself, not have his humanity. If he did that for her he had to still be in there. She wasn't afraid in the least.

Koga once again got up and assessed the situation; he decided a direct assault wouldn't work. Before Inuyasha could take the offensive Koga shouted for Ayame. The female wolf demon was in the room in less than a second, five of her gigantic wolves in tow. Inuyasha wasn't even fazed; Miroku and Sango were taking care of the wolves and Kagome was in no harm, so Inuyasha just kept walking.

The hanyou jumped at Koga, slashing across his chest, leaving a gash at least an inch deep. Koga fell to his knees and tried to think, `The mutt hasn't even wielded his sword and I'm already hurt bad. This could mean trouble, come on Koga, think.'

But before he could Inuyasha grabbed him by the throat and held him almost a foot off the ground. Koga was losing air he had to do something quick so he kicked Inuyasha straight in the stomach. The inuyoukai stepped back a couple of feet, apparently slightly fazed, and Koga fell to the ground. “Here's my chance.” The wolf demon knew that even though he was injured, and Inuyasha was full demon, he was still the fastest. So he made a mad dash for Kagome. Once he had her, he put his claw to her throat. “Any of you move and I cut Kagome's throat! Got it?” Sango and Miroku just nodded, but Inuyasha couldn't even do that. He had completely transformed back into his hanyou form, and was staring blankly at Kagome's throat.

By pure chance, a ceiling tile that was injured in Koga's fight with the mutant wolves fell on Koga's head; it stunned him and caused him to temporarily release Kagome. Inuyasha immediately snapped out of his confused state and drew Tetsuiga.

Inuyasha couldn't use the wind scar because that would be too risky, so he lunged at Koga. Unfortunately, before he could strike, Koga realized what was happening and grabbed Kagome's arm, pulling her in front of him to absorb the attack. The blood splashed across Inuyasha's face.

Koga had dodged tornado of an attack, but now he was in for a hurricane. Inuyasha dashed his treasured sword to the side, and in an instant was full demon. He plunged his clawed fist through Koga's throat and pulled out his windpipe. Then, almost instantly he grabbed the corpse of his dead mat and jumped through the roof and dashed on into the night.

“Jaken, will you please answer whoever is so incessantly banging at the front door.” It wasn't really a question, it was more of a rhetorical command, but the toad demon paid it no mind, he was used to it, “Of course Lord Sesshomaru,” but before the servant could even reach the stairs a blood-soaked Inuyasha that smelled of tears, burst the double, mahogany doors. Sesshomaru was furious, those doors had cost a fortune, but before he could yell at his half-brother the hanyou was at the full youkai's feet, crying and begging for help.

“Please Sesshomaru you're the only one who can help her, I wouldn't be here if I wasn't absolutely desperate. Please, you have to help her, use the Tensaiga.” Sesshomaru hated his half-breed brother, but he felt sorry for his wench, just as he had felt sorry for Rin, so many years ago.

With his usual stoic look he drew his sword of healing and positioned it. “Move Inuyasha,” and the hanyou did as he was told. He set his dead mate down very gently, and moved to the side, tears still in his eyes.

The inuyoukai took one sweep across Kagome's body, and a magical aura began to surround her. Her wounds began to slowly but surely disappear, and eventually she began breathing again.

When Sesshomaru nodded towards Inuyasha, the hanyou rushed to his resurrected mate's side. He held her in his arms and cried. He picked her up bridal style, and bowed to his half-brother. With that he dashed through the now open doorway, as Sesshomaru's eyes followed him. “Damn, that door cost a fortune.”

Prologue:

Inuyasha rushed back to the prison, grabbed the Tetsuiga and his friends, and jumped right out the now holey Warden's Office Ceiling.

The police about an hour after the carnage, thanks to reports of someone breaking down the front gate, just as Inuyasha expected. After all the CSI folks were called in, the scene was determined a fight for power between two demon gangs.

Ayame, Hakkaku, and Ginta had managed to untie themselves and escape before the police arrived, and then moved to Japan to start a pack of their own.

And so our heroes lived happily until the end of their days untouched by demons forever more.

Okay guys, there you go. The happy ending. And I must say, I did like it myself, even though I like the original better. If I have time I'll have the first chapter for my next fic posted pretty soon, hopefully in the next week. So thanks and again, R&R.

Luv ya.
