InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Sesshoumaru's Secret Life ❯ Shikon Shards ( Chapter 22 )

Chapter 22: Shikon Shards

 

Sango chewed on her bottom lip thinking over what the others had just told her about extracting the shikon shard from her brother's back. “Can you really bring Kohaku back?” she asked the demoness sitting across from her.

 

“I will not lie. I have only tested this once and there is a risk. I cannot guarantee it will work.” The demoness stated. “Even with all the shards of the sword back together within me.” Sesshoumaru had returned to the site of the battle and retrieved all the slivers and shards she could find of the Tenseiga, pushing them into her body when they had returned to the Western Lands.

 

“I think it's worth the risk, oneesan,” Kohaku replied softly. He really wanted to be able to help in completing the shikon jewel so they could all put the unpleasantness of the past behind them. He was still having problems dealing with what he had done even though he now realized that it had not been his fault. But still, the feelings of guilt persisted and there were times when he felt quite depressed. He knew if it hadn't been for the love and understanding of his sister he might have done himself in long ago. It also helped that the others didn't seem to blame him about his past, even though he had worked with Naraku against them.

 

“It has to be your decision,” Miroku informed the boy.

 

“Yes,” agreed Kagome. “We won't force you and its okay if you don't want to. We can think of something else.” The miko girl smiled kindly at the young slayer. “We haven't even talked to Kouga yet about his shards, so you have time to think about it.”

 

“I'm going to go see the stupid wolf today anyways,” Inuyasha complained, not happy about his sister's request to ask the wolf and his tribe to join with them. He had been upset with Kagome who was the one to put that particular idea into Sesshoumaru's head. They had heard from their spies that Anoki was gathering forces to his old home and they were trying to do the same to keep up with the swelling army of their cousin.

 

Sesshoumaru now didn't try to hide what she was. Everyone in a one hundred mile radius knew anyways, thanks to her cousin. She had lost support because of it, which she had expected, but she was pleasantly surprised at the amount of houses that still wanted to stay loyal to their past alliances with her.

 

Some of the lords respected the fact that she had led so well regardless of her sex while others were just plain fearful, knowing what the demoness lord was capable of and had done in the past to those that went against her. The feared her retribution if they aligned themselves with her cousin. The ones that had left to her demon cousin's side were mostly the older lords and demons who felt that a woman was incapable of leading. These ones, unfortunately, were also the most experienced in battle.

 

Everyone agreed to wait for now and allow Kohaku time to think about it. Sesshoumaru was a bit frustrated, she would have liked to have gotten this over with and from what she knew of the jewel the sooner it was put back together and then secured, the better. The thing brought nothing but heartache as far as she could tell and there had been demons that even now, had approached the castle closer than she would have liked because of the power emanating off the thing. She hated that it was in her castle and by its very presence, endangering her pups. She held her tongue, trusting that the miko knew what she was doing and vowed to aid in her and the jewels protection. Sesshoumaru sure hoped that her brother wasn't still intending on wishing to become a full demon on it.

 

“Well, I better get going if I'm going to get to Kouga's lands before nightfall,” Inuyasha stated, rising from the chair. Kagome, Sango, Kohaku, Miroku and Shippou all decided to go with him while Sesshoumaru stayed back at the castle with the pups and Rin. Jaken, of course, would not leave his mistress so stayed behind as well. Sesshoumaru and Miroku said goodbye to each other in private while the rest waited outside the door then the group were soon on their way.

“Did you secure him?” Naraku questioned the human warrior and his group.

 

“Yeah, he's not going anywhere,” the large man smirked.

 

“Very good,” Naraku grinned. “You have earned your reward.” He passed the man a large sack of money. “Consider the weapons a gift for doing such good work. I may have need of you in the future.”

 

“No problem,” the dark haired warrior stated, smiling happily at the rather large amount of money he had just received. The group of men bowed to the dog demon and left carrying their rifles over their shoulders, overjoyed at their good luck.

 

Naraku entered the cell that was located in the back of the castle. Who's that? Anoki questioned the parasite within him. The former spider hanyou smiled as he looked down on the battered, bound and unconscious wolf prince. That is bait… plus a little payback, he answered. He pulled over a chair and sat, waiting for the wolf to regain consciousness.

“What's the matter, Inuyasha?” Kagome questioned when the hanyou stopped. They were close to Kouga's lands and the sky was just starting to darken.

 

“I smell blood and gunpowder,” he returned as he sniffed the air.

 

Before the group could investigate further, a loud crashing was heard coming towards them through the bushes. Inuyasha pulled the Tetsusaiga from its sheath and stood protectively in front of Kagome. Miroku held out his staff and Sango had her hand on her boomerang when the intruder stumbled out of the bushes and fell on the ground in front of them.

 

“Attacked…no warning…took Kouga,” Ginta moaned out as he tried to hold his hand over the large bullet wound in his stomach.

 

“What? Who took Kouga?” Inuyasha asked as the group of friends bent down to help the ailing wolf demon.

 

“Humans,” was all Ginta managed to say before he passed out.

 

“The bullet has to come out,” Kagome said as she looked at the gaping wound. “We'll have to take him back to Sesshoumaru's, she has a healer there.” Kagome hurriedly stopped the bleeding and wrapped the wound while Sango set about fashioning a stretcher. The girls knew that he was in no condition just to be carried in Inuyasha's arms. Inuyasha and Miroku went on ahead to the wolves cave to see if anyone else was there. They soon came back, their faces shocked and saddened.

 

“Why would the humans do that?” Miroku questioned.

 

“I don't know,” Inuyasha replied shaking his head. They had been unable to find any other survivors and in fact the whole place looked like a massacre. Every wolf, demon and even the pups had all been shot dead. Some had even been missing their pelts, skinned neatly and professionally.

 

“Did you…” Kagome started to ask and then stopped when Inuyasha just shook his head. “Poor Ginta,” she whispered. “What about Kouga?”

 

“I didn't see him and Ginta said the humans took him. I have their scent but we have to get Ginta some help first,” the hanyou stated looking at the prone wolf demon who was now lying on the stretcher.

 

“Sango, Shippou and I can take him back to the castle on Kirara, why don't you, Kohaku and Kagome try to track where they've taken Kouga,” Miroku offered.

 

“Yes,” agreed Sango. “Kirara can track you when we return. We'll meet up with you.”

 

Inuyasha was unsure, he didn't want to split everyone up and it was now dark. He wasn't worried about the cat demon or himself as they could see very well with what little light came down from the stars and moon.

 

“Come on, Inuyasha,” Kagome yelled out, making his mind up for him as she started towards the caves.

 

“Hey, wait,” he called out to her as she started trekking off into the darkness with the slayer boy at her side. “Okay, but find us as fast as you can,” he ordered Miroku and Sango. He then ran off to catch up with the stubborn humans before they could get themselves into trouble.

Kouga moaned as he began to awaken wondering where he was and why he couldn't move. As things began to come into focus for his foggy brain he realized that his arms were tied tightly behind his back and he was lying on a low futon. He tried to scramble upright remembering the battle that had ensued at his caves. They had been attacked by a group of men that had just started firing for no reason upon his pack. He had tried to fight them off but there had been so many of them and they had taken him by surprise and overpowered him, knocking him out. He didn't even know how his kin were and he looked around to see if any of them were with him. He spun around when he heard a soft noise behind him.

 

“Awake are we?” questioned a tall, grey haired dog demon.

 

“Who the hell are you? Where am I?” Kouga snarled out trying to stop himself from feeling so dizzy.

 

“You're at my castle and my name is Anoki. I am Sesshoumaru's and Inuyasha's cousin,” the demon explained with an unfriendly smile.

 

“Inuyasha? Where the hell is that mutt? What the fuck is going on?” Kouga again tried to struggle from his knees to his feet but the tall, lanky demon shoved him back down.

 

“Don't worry about that. You have something I've been looking for.”

 

Kouga struggled under the strength of the demon above him that had him trapped on his belly. He felt his leg wrapping being sliced off of him and his eyes opened in surprise. He screamed as he felt sharp claws rip into the flesh of his legs and extract his shards. He kicked back forcefully, smirking past the pain in satisfaction as he heard a grunt and the weight of the demon leave him. His reprieve was only momentary as the demon grabbed him by the back of the neck and pushed him down again, this time punching him hard in the kidneys causing him to gasp and cry out in agony.

 

“You're going to pay for that wolf,” Naraku hissed out, spitting out the blood that was pooling in his mouth from where Kouga's foot had connected with him. He punched and then kicked the ookami until Kouga was barely moving. Naraku grinned looking down at the barely conscious wolf, his organ stiff in excitement.

 

Stop, what are you doing? Anoki tried his best to force the being within him to stop the thoughts that were spinning through their combined mind. He used all his will to make the swelling phallus become limp with only minor success.

 

Naraku laughed at the attempts of his host. Look at him, lying there like that. Let me show you the power of dominance. It's quite heady really to have such control over another.

 

No, I don't want to do this. I'm not a rapist.

 

Liar! If you didn't want this your body wouldn't respond so easily to it. Admit it. You're excited by the prospect of hearing his screams as you take him. You wouldn't hesitate if it was Sesshoumaru, Naraku purred seductively.

 

Anoki looked down on the wolf that was groaning and trying to get up. He had to admit that the ookami was handsome, even through the bruises and wounds. But what Naraku was telling him went against his own convictions. He had never taken someone against their will, enemy or not and he didn't even know this Kouga or what he had to do with his cousins. He pushed back against the erotic images that his `roommate' was giving him.You don't know me as well as you think. I'll fight you on this.

 

Enough of this, I will have my revenge on this lowly demon, Naraku stated, gritting his teeth against the developing pain in his head. He reached down and slashed the clothing off of the stunned wolf.

 

Kouga couldn't figure out what this guy was doing and why he seemed to be mumbling to himself but fear began to blossom in his breast as he felt his clothing being torn away and his legs being roughly pulled apart. “Hey, what the fuck…?!” The wolf tried his best to squirm away and managed to turn himself over onto his back. He watched for a moment as the grey haired demon grabbed his head and moaned as if he was in pain. Then those cold teal eyes found him and the dog demon lunged forward, grabbing the wolf around the throat.

 

Kouga kicked and thrashed but to no avail, he was weak from being beaten and his legs had lost the strength of the jewel shards. He still couldn't figure out how this guy knew he had shards, especially since he had never seen him before in his life. The dog demon punched him hard in the jaw stunning him and then he was flipped over onto his stomach again. “Stop! Why are you doing this?” Kouga cried out weakly still fighting as much as he could to avoid what he knew was coming.

 

Naraku was fighting against the wolf and his host but he was determined to win both battles and smirked when the pain in his head began to lessen and the injured ookami's struggles began to weaken. He pulled apart his kimono and released his engorged organ from his fundoshi. He held the wolf tightly around the waist, using his knees to force apart the bloody legs. He positioned the tip of his cock against the tightly clenched opening and then leaned over to whisper in the ookami's ear. “This if for all the times you teamed up with that worthless half-breed against me.”

 

“What? What are you talking about? I don't even know you,” Kouga whimpered trying to get out from underneath the body above him and the grip that was holding him down.

 

“Guess you don't recognize me in my new body,” Naraku hissed. “I'll give you a hint then. Who else was looking for the shards of the shikon jewel?” Naraku laughed evilly still pressing his cock against the small, dry opening.

 

Kouga's eyes went wide in fear and shock, “Naraku,” he gasped.

 

“You win the prize,” the former spider chortled, slamming into the wolf as hard as he could and groaning in satisfaction at the loud scream that bellowed forth from the body below him. He continued to pound harshly into the wolf feeling the inner muscles tear and the warm blood flow over his manhood.

 

Kouga's cries went from heart wrenching screams to pathetic whimpers while Naraku grinned above him. When the body below him went completely limp he still continued to thrust into it until he came hard, groaning loudly.

 

See, that wasn't so terrible was it, he hummed to Anoki in his mind as he pulled out of the unconscious demon.

 

Anoki chose not to reply. He felt sickened by what this creature had done to the poor wolf but he also had been aroused by it, had felt the pleasure of it and he felt shamed. Especially since this nasty being knew his feelings.

 

Naraku just chuckled out loud at the silence of his host. If you thought that felt good, wait till you feel this. Naraku took the two jewel shards he had been clasping in his fist and pushed them into his neck. A flood of warmth and flashing power zipped through him and he felt his reluctant host gasp, the muscles of his body twitch.

 

God, what is that? Anoki questioned his spirit resident as feelings of euphoria passed though him like a wave.

 

That, my dear friend, is the power of the shikon jewel. When we have it all, there is nothing that we won't be able to do. We will control everything and everybody on this earth. Naraku smirked and stood from the futon to clean the blood from his body before putting his kimono back in order. Did I not tell you that I would make you the most powerful demon ever?

 

For some reason what had just transpired did not seem to be as important anymore to Anoki, he felt so good, so strong. The shards began to turn black inside the dog demons body. Yes…yes you did.

 

Naraku's grin widened into a nasty smile as every bit of his former headache completely disappeared. He knew from now on he would have no more trouble from the demon he was residing within.
