Chapter 15

The Torture

 

Inuyasha never slept that night, he couldn't for fear that Kagome would go into shock if she didn't see him. “Oh…Inuyasha?” he jumped up and sat at her side, “Yes Kagome? What's the matter?”

“I had a dream that Kikyo was going to kill you!” tears poured from her eyes, “Inuyasha I'm begging you, please stay with me! I need you; if she can't get to you she'll get me I cannot lose you!”

“Kagome are you sure that Kikyo is who you saw?” Kagome shuttered at the mere thought of her, “She was cold and her eyes were distant. She mentioned that she was a good archer, but…the one thing that she said that stood out most of all was that she said she would fight to get what she wanted, and I think she…she meant you!”

 

“That sounds like Kikyo alright. Does she look the same?” “Yeah but I felt something, but I'm not exactly sure what it was.” He got up and grabbed her, “We're going back to your time we have to find her!”

 

In the south

 

Sango proceeded to block Miroku's sexual advancements in the past week and she wasn't quiet sure why and she's been sick lately and very irritable in the morning. “Sango why don't you want to be with me tonight, you've never denied me anything before why now it's not like I'm being lecherous right now I just want to know?” Shippo just waved off Kanten who was going back to her lands for a while until Shippo completed his mission with his friends. “I love you Kanten, I will come to you once this is over!” he shouted to the distant clouds hoping she'd heard him.

 

The young boy peered behind the brush at the woman whose face has plagued his thoughts for the past 5 years; he'd asked Naraku where they were coming from but always told him it was of no importance. “Who is she and why do I feel so close to her. I wish I could help her she's seemed very ill lately but I fear if I go near her something bad may happen.”

 

Currently with Sesshomaru…

 

Rin was in her first trimester of pregnancy (let's say she's two months pregnant) it had yet to be noticed or shown to either of the two until today. “Rin come here.” He kissed the nape of her neck and she giggled. He slowly stripped off her kimono that closely resembled the clothing he wore (same exact color patterns and the three flower things too) made of the finest silk from the continent (China). He massaged her full breasts and made his mark on her right shoulder; he licked and smelled the blood that seeped from the wound. “Rin you have a part of my blood flowing through your veins…do you have any idea what this means?” Rin was too busy straddling herself on Sesshomaru that she hardly heard what he said. “What…I…didn't hear…you ah!” he was starting to get into the love making himself and almost forgot the news. “You are carrying my child (I don't want to use the word pup as of yet I'm saving that for another person *hint*), can you believe it!” He grabbed her hips to stop her and kissed her stomach, and it finally registered in Rin's mind, “Sesshy you mean you and I are…ahh were going to have a baby!” they kissed each other roughly but very passionately and they made love through the night.

 

In the morning Sesshomaru left to deliver the news to his younger brother, Rin went to get some wild mushrooms to put in dinner for the evening thinking of the sex of the child and possible names. She saw a familiar face, “Kohaku?” he came out from his hiding spot to say hello formally, “Why hello Rin! It has been quite some time; I see you've chosen to go with the dog demon, instead of me. Why did you refuse my offer?”

 

Flashback 3 years ago

 

Rin lets leave. We need to leave our current masters, let's go together. Be my wife. Your wife Kohaku? Why we've only spent a short time together we don't know each other. Besides I love someone else…

 

End flashback

 

Kohaku stalked his way toward her, she backed away turned and ran dropping her items. “Wait Rin don't run, I want to tell you something!” she stopped knowing that he wouldn't and couldn't hurt her, “Rin I don't want to hurt you I just want to say thank you…” she stood silent and confused, “Why thank me, what have I done?” tears formed in his pupil-less eyes, “You've been the only friend I've had, and I know that I'll have to fight soon maybe against your friend the dog.” He struck her in the head, picked her up and ran off.

 

With Inuyasha and Kagome at the shrine

 

“Inuyasha how do you suppose we go about finding her?” he shrugged his shoulders I just gotta follow the scent of grave yard soil and clay.”

 

“Why follow your nose Inuyasha when I'm right here!” she shot her miko energy which was filled with a negative power. “Move Inuyasha!” Kagome pushed him to the side and placed a barrier. “Uh Kagome how are you doing that?” “Don't know I just wanted to protect us so I did it why you wanna get hit?” he growled a little. “I came back here to prove to you that I am the true person Inuyasha deserves to be with, uh!” the forced more energy their way. The kekkai (psychic) barrier diminished. Kagome fell to her knees weak and tired. The sun started to set and the silvery-white flecks and color of Inuyasha's hair changed to black, his ears went away and new human ones came to the left and right sides of his head, and his golden colored eyes turned to a dark chocolate brown color thus placing in the saku no hi (the day of the new moon; I know its supposed to be for a full but work with me people!) in effect on his body. Keikyo (or Kikyo) shot another beam of energy to Inuyasha rendering him unconscious. Kikyo used her psychic energy to levitate Kagome's body back into the well. “It's time to fulfill my wish of having a real body, Naraku will be much pleased.”

 

Kohaku and Kagura took over as far a Kagome was concerned she was not to be feared as long as Naraku had his. “Kikyo, Naraku says thank you for fulfilling your contract and now he will fulfill his.” Kohaku slashed at the location of the jewel shard and Kikyo's body once again crumbled and receded to dust.

 

Next day

 

Inuyasha was waking up in Kagome's room, “Wha…what happened… ahh!” he grabbed his head in pain as if he woke up with a hangover. “Kagome! Kagome!” Souta ran into the room, “Inuyasha, Kagome isn't here, isn't she in the warring states era?” he was now wide awake, “Oh no something must have happened, we were in the courtyard fighting Kikyo…” Souta cut him off, “That's were we found you, what happened to my sister?”

“I don't know, I was unconscious and she…must have made off with…Kagome!” he leapt out of the window and into the well room and entered his time. Upon stepping out of the well he knew something wasn't right, about 50 feet away he seen clay and dry soil on the ground and it bore the scent of Kikyo. “She was killed but by whom?” the scent of the other participants we very faint but he knew there were others who took off with Kagome since it was clear that Kikyo was dead.

 

Words played in Inuyasha's mind that was very familiar: I know the true battle for the fate of the world is near and you need to depend on you friends, family and even enemies to get through this battle, for this will not be an easy task. For the one you truly love's life will hang in the balance. You can no longer depend on your own fang you must go back to thy place of origin to discover true power and hope with the aforementioned associates before it's too late.

“What the hell does this mean?” a rustling in the bushes caught his attention, “Sesshomaru what are you doing here?” he unsheathed his tetsuaiga, “If your in for a fight let's make this quick because I have to get to Kagome!” Sesshomaru smirked at his brother's naiveté, “Do you really think every time I see you it is to fight? Well if so you can be no farther from the truth little brother. I come here bearing news of our bloodline?” Inuyasha really didn't care he needed to get to the others to help him get Kagome. “And what about our blood line? You somethin' else to complain about my being a half demon?” Sesshomaru was in a good mood and wouldn't let his brother's sour attitude ruin his day. “No Inuyasha, Rin and I will be soon having a child.” Inuyasha placed the sword back into its sheath, “You and Rin are going to have a pup? (That was the *hint* I could kill you guys with these cliffs cant I?) I really would like to congratulate you but I'm in a bind, Kagome has been kidnapped and I think she's in a lot of danger. I think Naraku is going to kill her Sesshomaru.” It was the first time ever that Inuyasha looked to Sesshomaru with fear and sadness, basically a little brother looking to an older brother for help and Sesshomaru knew this. “Listen Inuyasha I can help you get to your friends, bur in turn you must do something for me.” Inuyasha nodded. “I want you to make sure that you destroy Naraku because his very existence threatens the life of my unborn child, I know that you have the ability to destroy him, I've known this for quite some time but was too blinded to see.” They took off on Sesshomaru's nimbus cloud to look for the rest of the group.

 

With the group

 

Sango was currently throwing up in the bushes and she felt queer (that means sick people!) , “Miroku! I'm going in the village to stay at a inn tell Inuyasha and Kagome when they arrive that I got sick of waiting!” she hopped on the transformed Kilala and headed to Hiroshima. Shippo and Miroku had a right to be scared and were determined to stay away from her until she is well. They remained in the outskirts of the forest still waiting for their friends to return.

 

Naraku…

 

Kohaku entered the abandoned castle in the deep southern lands, he looked sternly into the eyes of Naraku's demon parts (you know the demons that guard Naraku the centipedes and such), “Move I must speak with him.” They did as they were told, “Naraku she is here what would to like me to do with her?” Naraku smiled and evil smile thinking of the things he had in mind to get rid of the priestess that bore resemblance to the priestess he once loved and only then we he be able to purge the unwanted human soul from his body. “Place her into the dungeon of this place until I am ready to deal with her.” Kohaku left and picked up Kagome and Rin's limp body and carried them to a winding stair that led to the dungeon, shackled the women's body and sat by their side and waited until they both awakened.

 

Currently with Inuyasha and Sesshomaru…

 

“I have to check on Rin, Inuyasha so we'll make a quick stop and then we will continue to you friends.” They landed at the campsite and no sign of Rin and he saw a crying Jaken on the floor. “Jaken where is Rin!” Jaken jumped out of his skin, “Master, I was off in the woods obtaining fire wood for tonight's dinner since Lady Rin is unable to carry them and once I returned she was gone!” he cried like a child he was fearful for both his life and Rin's safety. He sniffed the campsite and began to growl and bore his teeth, “That…that…it's that ahhhhhhoooooooooooo” he transformed into his demon form and snarled at Inuyasha, “Get on my back! Jaken lets go!” they both were terrified beyond all reason and jumped on his back and the two headed dragon Ah-un followed. The flew down to the south of Sesshomaru's back.

 

In about an hour they arrived where Miroku and Shippo were waiting, Shippo spotted Sesshomaru, “Isn't that Inuyasha's brother? And isn't that Inuyasha on top of his brothers back?” Miroku looked up and seen them make a descent to their location. “Inuyasha what are you doing with your brother?” Inuyasha had no time for pleasantries “Where the hell is Sango?” they walked to the town and found Sango at an inn, “Sango lets go Kagome had been kidnapped we gotta go!” she threw her bone boomerang at Inuyasha. “What the hell is wrong with you! I said lets go!” the normal appearance of Sesshomaru came through the door, “Listen your brother kidnapped my mate and if you want to prevent his death I suggest you come with us so get up woman!” Sango snapped out of her sick induced daze “What Kohaku kidnapped Rin? Sesshomaru don't hurt him it's Naraku's influence I promise I'll help you get Rin back!”

 

They all flew on Sesshomaru's back and the old lady Ushihara's words replayed in Inuyasha's mind, I know the true battle for the fate of the world is near and you need to depend on you friends, family and even enemies to get through this battle, for this will not be an easy task. For the one you truly love's life will hang in the balance. You can no longer depend on your own fang you must go back to thy place of origin to discover true power and hope with the aforementioned associates before it's too late. “Sesshomaru stop! Do you know where our father's land is?” “Of course I do, why?” “There was an old lady who had a premonition and told me that I had to go back to my land of origin, and for the longest time I didn't know what that meant but now I know, Sesshomaru we have to go to the Western Nation where our father once ruled.” Sesshomaru turned around and made of beeline for the western lands.

 

Kagome in the dungeon…

 

She started to come to, her eyes slowly opened with her vision cloudy, her arms hurt and she didn't know why. “Uh…where am I?” when her eyes fully opened she was a little more than surprised by her surroundings, “Ah! Kohaku? Rin? Kohaku why are Rin and I here?” Kohaku just looked at her. “Answer me! Kohaku why am I here?” the sacred jewel in his back glowed and his eyes became cold and he walked away with Rin to another section of the dungeon and shackled her and went to another place. Kagome began to shiver out of fear, “Where am I, where is Inuyasha?” she heard foot steps and a tall figure appeared at the entrance of the dungeon. “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!”

 

Forgive me for the travesty that was chapter 14 ok! Please review!
