Chapter 23
Of Dogs and Men


Hiten had just closed his eyes, he’d been safe thus far. A soft breeze blew in along with thunder, as he glanced over at the group, and saw them fast asleep.


Even with the storm brewing further north, he’d not been able to keep his eyes open. They felt heavy, and he felt disoriented. He fought hard to keep himself awake, as he clenched his gun tighter, trying to remind himself of the dangers, lurking in the forest of darkness.


He’d seemed relaxed, listening to the crickets; he reflected the group and how peaceful they were. They didn’t seem to fear what was in the unknown, he took comfort in knowing this. If they were safe, he was safe as well. He’d finally convinced himself, ‘Well maybe if I close my eyes just for a bit.’ It didn’t take long before he drifted off into a restless sleep; as the soothing lullaby of the jungle drifted soundlessly in the background of his mind.

Hiten awoke abruptly, when he felt a sharp pain in the side of his left leg. He aimed his gun at the tall man before him. At first he thought it was a Jaguar, which finally came out of the jungle, searching for a hungry morsel…fearing it was himself. Instead, it was the same man from the group down below.


He’d stayed upwind, as Naraku ordered. ‘So how did he know I was here?’ he pondered with curious, yet cautious eyes. He gripped the holster tightly, still aiming at the other man. Cocking his gun, he rested his finger on the trigger, with shaky hands.


“Put down that weapon! You fool! Puny bullets can’t hurt me!” To prove it, Sesshomaru advanced on him, and Hiten didn’t hesitate to shoot. With the sound of a gunshot, the jungle became alive with the sounding “boom!”
Hiten’s eyes widened in amazement, ‘what is he wearing some bullet-proof vest?’ He could have sworn that bullet hit him in the chest. Of course, he really didn't have time for any conclusions as a pair of strong hands wrapped around his neck, lifting him off the ground. Hiten dropped the gun, only to try to pry away the tightening grip around his neck.


Sesshomaru snarled, “Who are you? Why are you following us?” The more Sesshomaru stared at him, the angrier he became. However, the silence was even more unnerving to him. When he wanted answers, he knew all to well how to get the information out of his enemies.


Sesshomaru tightened his hold, hearing him grasping for air. Suddenly he slammed Hiten against the tree, as he just dangled there. He could see Hiten clearly as day and smirked while Hiten’s eyes rolled back. Sesshomaru was aware, that he'd almost caused his victim to pass out. He was glad that he didn't, as he watched his face turn a reddish-blue. “You better answer me! Why are you after my brother?” Of course, he knew that he couldn't speak, but it amused him greatly to hear him try. “What’s the matter?


Hiten nodded his head, his voice came out straggly and every time he tried to speak, he'd seem to lose more of his precious oxygen.


“Answer me!” Sesshomaru snapped.


“I…can’t bre…a…tttthheee!” Hiten choked, he became dizzy, as he fainted.


Sesshomaru chuckled, as he loosened his grip. He watched as Hiten coughed, sucking in as much oxygen as he could. “Are you going to answer me now? Because I can play this game some more. Although, I will try not to kill you in the process.”

Sango giggled, as she watched with a lustful eye. Of course, she glanced away time to time with a heated blush with one look from him. ‘Damn,’ she cursed, ‘how does he seem to make me tingle all over, only to make my heart skip a beat.’


She couldn't believe she was actually going through with this. Everything screamed in her body to savagely ravage him tonight. She'd tried to reason with herself, but her craving to the erotic man before drowned out any other reasonable doubt.


They'd decided to go to Miroku’s house, since he didn't have to go to work the next day, and she didn't have to return to her job till later that evening. Pulling into his gated community, he parked the truck in the garage.


Miroku grabbed her hand gently as he led her to the elevators of the six-story complex building. He pressed the button, waiting for the elevator to head down. Staring into her eyes, he asked her, “are you okay with this.”


Was she? She starred at him heatedly she was never more sure, even if it was jut one night. She would accept the fact that she wouldn't get to know this man better. However, the hunger her body yearned for called out desperately. She pulled him closer, bringing her lips to his, with heated passion. Her hands found the back of his neck as she pulled him toward her. Pulling away, she gazed up at him. “Miroku, this is what I want. I will not ask for anything more…just give me the now.”


Miroku contemplated over her words, he didn't think this would turn out to be nothing more than a one night stand. He would respect her nonetheless. Miroku place his hand on her flushed cheek, rubbing in soothingly. A soft bell rang announcing that the elevator had reached its stop. The doors opened and he was grateful that nobody else was onboard. Grabbing Sango, he pulled her inside, as he slammed her up against the back wall.


Since he'd entrapped her, he wasn't letting her go anytime soon, however there was that small problem of hitting the button for his floor. With quick adjustments of his hand, he'd managed to hit the button without loosing his precious cargo. Returning to her, he ran his free hand up the curve of her waist. His touch was soft and sensuous. He could see her biting her lower lip in response.


“Oh, Sango. You have no Idea, what havoc I'm going to create all over your delicious body,” he said, his tone held sinful promises.


She moaned, under his touch. She could feel his warm lips kiss the nape of her neck, as she arched it back further, so he'd better access. Even though her hands now securely pinned by his strong arm. She couldn't help but want to feel him closer. “Miroku,” she gasped, when she felt his hand go under her dress.


Miroku kissed her lips, “Yes?” as he continued running his fingers around her inner thighs. He could feel the warmth from her womanhood, as he continued his torture--although he could do without the pantyhose.

Sango rolled her eyes back in pure bliss, although she wanted him to stop teasing and rip her attire off and fuck her senseless. “Please, Miroku…touch me…please!”

He smiled, as he rubbed his finger against the fabric, then he stopped as he heard her panting above him. With a handsome smirk, he arose only to come face to face with her. Kissing her chastely, he whispered. “I want you…I want you to open up to me.” He kissed her again, “Show me that wildcat, I know your hiding.”

Sango once again gasped feeling him graze his finger across her aroused flesh. She began to struggle, wanting free from her confines. He was teasing her, and she couldn't take the pressure any longer.

Sesshomaru quickly tired of his prey he needed to get back to his group. “Are you alone?” he asked the man before him.

Hiten was having trouble speaking; he thought for sure this thing was going to kill him. He knew that he wasn't human with his strength. He coughed. In addition, nodded his head his to the inquiry.

"What was that? I can't understand a single word your saying." Sesshomaru said as he loosened his grip.

Hiten immediately began coughing, "yes, I am alone."

"Good, now lets go!" Sesshomaru growled, pushing the man down the slight ravine. He wasn't at the least surprised to see Shippo running up to them.

Shippo looked at the man with cold eyes, as he growled under his breath. He didn't like him, he reeked of evil, his eyes were untrusting. He was defiantly hiding something. However he shrugged it off. He looked at Sesshomaru apologetically, "I'm sorry, we heard gunshots. I was sent to see if you were okay?"

Sesshomaru snorted and continued to push the man forward. As he walked past the fox he snorted, "Ridiculous." Then continued down his path.

Kagome trembled in Inyuasha's arms. She awoke abruptly at the sound of gunfire. She could hear Inuyasha trying to reassure her that everything was okay. But she didn't believe him she wanted to. Another large boom echoed across the jungle, followed by a bright flash of lightning that illuminated the surrounding area.

"Shhh love its only the storm." Inuyasha said calmly stroking her hair. "It's okay."

The rain came fast as a strong gale of wind whipped in between the branches making the leaves rustle together.

"But your brother...?" she asked still crying and clinging to his bare shoulders. Inuyasha's ears flattened. He hated seeing her distressed. "I'm sure he's fine. Besides Shippo's with him."

She sniffled and rubbed her eyes. "Are you sure?"

He laughed, "of course I'm sure...he is after all my brother."

"I'm sorry," she sighed, "I'm just afraid...afraid that Naraku will find us."

Inuyasha held her tighter as they snuggled up against the trunk of the tree desperately trying to keep dry. He'd wished they were somewhere warm and dry.

A twig snapped and Inuyasha tensed, his ears flattened against his head as he began to sniff the surrounding area. He couldn't smell anything but the rain. He looked at Kagome silently asking her to be still. He scanned the area but still didn't see anything. He only hoped it was his brother and Shippo returning.


Lightning lit up the night sky once more, followed by the rumbling of thunder not soon after. Inuyasha relaxed. He had found his intruder and chuckled. 'A cat...a fucking cat.' Although he was grateful that it was a small cat, and not some leopard looking for its next meal.


"It's only a wild cat, Kagome. We're safe."


"I wouldn't count on that dear brother." Sesshomaru decided to let his presence know as he kicked Hiten in the back, watching him fall to the wet muddy ground face first.


Inuyasha immediately stood, he recognized the man right away. "You!" he hissed. "Why are you here? Did Naraku send you?"


Hiten slowly got up but was pushed down again. He lifted his head up spitting out the mud that entered his mouth.


"Ah, so dear brother you know who this man is?"


"Not entirely. I know that he's working for Naraku...and not to mention tried to kill us."


Hiten spit more mud out of his mouth. "I am to report to Naraku...he will send men if he doesn't hear from me."


Sesshomaru growled, "good we want you to report to him." He knelt down, lifting Hiten's head up by the back of his long braid. "I want you to tell him that Inuyasha and Kagome are off limits."


Hiten chuckled, and glared coldly at Inuyasha and Kagome. "He wont let up until he has her in his grasp. You might as well turn yourself in. Because he is relentless and wont stop until he has her in his grasp."


Kagome stood quickly, "No! He will never have me! Never! Do you hear me?"


Hiten smiled, he was reprieved from having to eat dirt and sat up cautiously looking around to see if he would lie face first into the ground again. "Hell...who wouldn't want you...I want you, and maybe after my boss is done with you I might just be lucky enough to have you."


Inuyasha suddenly grabbed Hiten by the throat sinking his claws into his skin. "You shut your fucking mouth." His eyes began to bleed red.


Sesshomaru pushed his brother back as he punched Hiten in the mouth."No Inuyasha...this is what he wants."

Hiten wiped the blood away from his mouth, as he glared at Inuyasha. He could feel the warmth of his blood running down his chest. He raised his head letting the rain wash away most of the dirt, and to ease his new wounds. "Don't take it personal Kagome...I'm quite sure your doggy will protect you."


"Don't you fucking talk to her!" Inuyasha yelled, "Don't you even fucking look at her!"


Hiten laughed, he was enjoying toying with the younger man. He knew that his elder brother wouldn't let him kill him; or so he hoped.


"Deal with him later Inuyasha! Why don't you go to Kagome...she looks shaken up a bit...go comfort her." Sesshomaru stated. "I will deal with our prisoner."

Inuyasha growled but complied.


Shippo walked up to the man, "So what do we do with him?" he asked Sesshomaru.


Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes as he watched his brother tenderly cradling Kagome in his arms. "I will decide in the morning. We will take shifts." He looked up, "The storm seems to be passing get some rest I will take the first watch."


Shippo looked up. "Fine with me." He stretched then found a semi-dry patch on the ground and closed his eyes. He only hoped that keeping this man alive wouldn't backfire in their faces.
