Chapter 5: Uncollar the Mutt

Rin started to laugh.

A tiny toad of a man was standing in the doorway, butt naked. He did not seem to enjoy her laugher.

"Shut up you stupid woman! Oh how low I have fallen to have to fuck a human. Damn Kagura!" Something in Rin's recognition clicked.

"Jaken-sama?" The toad jumped, made a squawk like a chicken that'd been goosed and nearly bugged out his eyes.

"Only one baka onna would know my name."

"It's me, Jaken-sama. Little Rin….only I'm a little bigger and dyed my hair."

"Rin? How did you get here? Sesshoumaru-sama will be most displeased when he finds out you are here. He'll probably kill me for it….oh what should I do?" he asked, running around frantically banging his head.

"Jaken-sama, I need to see him." Jaken stopped and refused to meet her gaze.

"Rin….the collar….changed him. He is not who you once knew. He would tear you limb from limb without a second thought." Jaken looked serious, then quickly added, "Not that I'd care!"

"Sure, Jaken-sama. Listen, of all the times, you gotta trust me now. Do what you have to, but get me to him. If he kills me, he kills me, but I gotta try. I can't leave him here with me out there."

"I will try, Rin…..but no promises. Just make sure you piss off as many people as possible. Most uncooperative females are sentenced to death by his claws. Kagura gets some sick fascination watching it all."

"Thank you Jaken-sama. I hope to see you when this is all over."

"When what is all over?"

"Rin's Rebellion," she said with a mischievous grin. He gave her a dubious look. "Hey, it'll sound good in the history books, I swear."

Kagome was in shock.

A hanyou?

Inuyasha was in equal shock.

Kikyou?

No, Kagome thought. No way he can be youkai….he's definitely a hanyou. Oh, those ears are too cute!!!

"Kikyou?" Inuyasha said in an almost hushed whisper. Kagome frowned.

"Kagome," she said, sticking out her hand to shake his. Now why the hell did I do that? He's gonna try and have sex with me! Baka, Kagome, real baka.

The scent is different, Inuyasha thought. She's younger too. Less serious.

"Inuyasha," he replied, enveloping her small hand in his clawed one. He was cautious with his claws, his hand firm and warm.

He suddenly growled and looked over his shoulder at the camera.

"Naraku! You know I don't do anything with an audience!" he bellowed.

Kagome blushed bright red.

She heard the noise from the camera turn off and half the lights dimmed, leaving them in almost darkness. Her eyes quickly adjusted to the new light level. Then she felt something pressed into her hand.

Inuyasha leaned forward, his mouth a mere centimeter from her ear.

"It's healing salve. It'll help you stretch without tearing and dull the pain," he whispered, his voice making Kagome's head spin. She put an arm around his shoulder, noting he stiffened in slight surprise as she stood on her tiptoes to whisper very softly into his fluffy dog ear.

"Thanks, but the only thing I'm going to do is get us the hell out of here."

Rin pulled with all her might but the shackle wasn't letting go. Even with her thumb dislocated the thing was too tight around her wrist. Blood dripped down her arm from where it was cutting off circulation.

"If I get gang green and have to amputate my hand I'm gonna sue that bitch for every penny her ancestors ever made!"

There had been ten youkai after Jaken. Ten she managed to fend off, if only just barely. The last one she'd had to actually use purification shocks against. She wasn't strong enough to actually purify one, but it gave them a rather painful experience. The last one had gone howling out from the area she decided to shock him in. Unfortunately that was the extent of her power. She wasn't anywhere near the power Kagome held. She wasn't sure how much longer she'd last.

"I hope you like pain," Kagura said from the doorway, flanked by Hiten and Manten. "Naraku is amused by this futile resistance you put up and since Inuyasha is still performance shy, we thought we'd watch you get mutilated instead."

Now what? Rin thought. The shackle suddenly let go as if it had been a hand clutching her wrist for dear lift. She collapsed on the floor. Hiten and Manten picked her up, pulling her after Kagura kicking and screaming.

Rin was thrown into a small room. At first she merely sat down….then she realized what she was sitting on. Harmless enough stone had dark brown and red stains all over it. The stench was horrid.

Blood. Human blood. Whatever had done this had done it several times. Ruthlessly. Rin was no match for a ruthless killer, even armed to the teeth. She steeled herself as she heard another door open. A hidden door jutted from the wall behind her. Rin turned to see the face of the youkai who would probably be the last she'd ever see.

He stepped out of the shadow of the doorway, his entire presence filling the room. He wore nothing but a pair of pants and the dark collar. His once smooth and flowy hair was now a tangled mess, his perfect face flecked with dirt. His eye….those captivating golden eyes were dead, empty. As if he wasn't even there.

Her mentor, father figure and savior had been turned into a cold blooded killer. Rin licked her lips, readying herself to move. She had a chance. If she could get him to recognize her at all she had a chance. She had one advantage.

She knew dog demons…especially this one.

Inuyasha breathed in her intoxicating scent as Kagome ran her fingers around the collar, searching for the release. He wasn't sure what she thought she was doing, but the way her body was pressing against his was greatly appreciated. He could feel the strength from her, almost as if she were to wrestle him down with it. She held power, oh yes, and yet she wasn't trying to purify him or fry Naraku's ass. She puzzled him. What was it about her?

Kagome growled in frustration. The damn collar was so much harder when it was on someone. It was connected somehow. Probably the same way Naraku was able to administer pain. Inuyasha wasn't helping either, nuzzling into her skin.

Inuyasha almost moaned when she growled. It was the sexiest thing he'd ever heard from a human female. Unable to resist he began placing light kisses along her neck, occasionally nibbling, while his clawed hands carefully grabbed her hips and pulled her against him. He heard her give a light gasp of surprise, but she didn't pull away. Few women had every made him desire to do what he did. She was making his resolve very weak. He wanted nothing more than to make slow, sweet and torturous love to this woman all night, seducing her like never before. Just what the hell was she doing with his collar?

Kagome wanted to growl again, but since the last one had produced such a reaction she refrained. His kissing was not helping her concentrate either. Not to mention her groin was pulled against something very warm, very hard and very big. All thoughts flew back to Rin's comments on dog demon's size.

Gods! I better get this thing off or I may not be able to walk tomorrow morning! If he's a hanyou does that mean there is half size? I don't think I want to know. That is no banana in his pocket and by the feel of it, tight fit is an understatement. No wonder he hands out ointment. You need ultra lubrication to get something that big in!

Kagome took a deep and closed her eyes, trying to feel the collar. She pushed the sensations from her neck out of the way, concentrating only on the metal in her fingers. There! A thread. A dark, evil thread of power linking the collar to something. She reached out and touched it, a soft pink glow coming from her fingertips. It immediately purified and vanished.

Thunk.

Inuyasha looked down in amazement as he felt like a ton of bricks had been lifted off his chest. The collar lay on the floor in two pieces, dead. His claws sharpened, his eyes flashed and his heart vibrated so loud the room shook. Kagome gave a sigh of relief as he seemed to be returning to normal. The golden eyes, now dangerously intent, focused on her and narrowed.

"Oi, bitch! What'dya do that for? Recollaring hurts twice as much!"
