InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Telling ❯ Confrontation ( Chapter 11 )

Now he felt bad. Shit. Here he was, making everyone's life hell, and for what? Something that Kagome couldn't help? Something that she probably didn't even realize was happening? He had hardly spoken to her in the past three days, and he couldn't even begin to imagine what she was thinking about that. What if she thought that he hated her or something? That would be really bad. All he wanted to do was tell her how he felt, but instead, here he was, acting like a baka AGAIN. Placing his face in his hands, he muttered “Inuyasha, you REALLY need to get your shit together.”

Well, there was nothing for it. He was going to have to face her when she got back from the springs. He'd tell her that he really liked holding her, and kissing her, and well, that he basically really liked her in particular. As for that delicious smell that she was giving off right now, he'd just face that bridge when he got to it. He knew he wasn't a great planner, but he WAS one hell of an improviser.

Cocking one ear back towards the group on the ground he heard Shippo make a comment about the monk always disappearing when one of the girls went to bathe. Turning his head to the fire, he saw that, sure as shit, Miroku was no longer there.

“Dammit monk!” he thought. Jumping lightly from his perch, he knew that Miroku wasn't going to get an eyeful of HIS Kagome! He'd just have to go to the spring and take care of that jerk. Apparently he'd have to confront Kagome sooner rather than later. It wasn't what he had intended, but he could handle it.

Neither Sango nor Shippo said anything to him as he stormed off into the woods, hot on the trail of Kagome and the pervert. “I guess they're still mad at me about all the walking; not that I blame them.” he thought.

In reality, his companions took one look at the expression on his face and knew better than to butt in. “He sure looks angry.” Shippo said. “Where do you think he's going?”

“I would say that the monk is in for a world of hurt.” Sango replied dryly.

Yes, Inuyasha was a hanyou on a mission.

********************************************************* ***************

Stalking through the woods, he thought about what he was going to say to her. He really wanted to do a good job on this and not look like a moron. Trouble was, even though everything always sounded really great in his head, something always got lost between his brain and his mouth and usually he just ended up getting angry and frustrated. Which in turn pissed off Kagome. And that was NOT the reaction he was going for. He wanted to sound cool and collected and sincere and sweep her off her feet. Trouble was, he didn't know what to say. Crap.

He couldn't concentrate. All he could think of was Miroku sneaking looks at a naked Kagome. And then his concentration was broken by something else- a scream. And it sounded for all the world like the person screaming was.... “Kagome?” He asked out loud. He took off running so fast that his feet seemed never to touch the ground.

Flying at top speed through the trees, thinking of nothing but the direction from which that all too familiar scream had come from, he ran head first into something purple, bounced backwards, and narrowly avoided landing on the ground ass first. Glaring at the object that had previously obstructed his path and was now lying on the forest floor, he recognized the houshi.

“Son of a bitch! What the fuck are you doing Miroku?” He yelled.

“Ugh.” Grunted a voice in response. Overcoming the pain of being flattened by a charging half-demon, Miroku managed to gasp out. “coming to get you. Kagome... in trouble....... Hot springs............ Sesshomaru.” And with his job done, he passed out.

That was more than enough for Inuyasha. He took off again and it was only a few minutes before he reached the springs.

********************************************************* ***************

The woman before him screamed and the volume of it made him flinch. He had to make her be silent, for his sensitive ears could not handle another of her earth shattering shrieks. Pulling her naked form tightly to his chest, he pressed his mouth tightly over hers. He felt her tiny fists begin to pound against his chest and at the assault on his person, his beast took full control. His menacing growl became thunderous, and yet she continued her assault. He would make her submit to him! She was going to be his, and he would show her a bitch's rightful place.

It was then that Inuyasha burst into the clearing and all the hells broke loose.

*********************************************************** *************

He had drawn his fang in preparation for the battle that he knew was coming, but when he came to the spring, the scene that assaulted his eyes was more than he could handle.

Sesshomaru was gripping Kagome tightly to his chest and had her locked in a kiss. From the way that their hair was drifting around them without the slightest hint of a breeze, Inuyasha knew that Sesshomaru had let his beast take over. The fact that both miko and demon were undressed did nothing to sate his anger, but the sight of Kagome beating her fists against Sesshomaru in a futile attempt to escape and the powerful scent of her fear was heart-wrenching. It was all too much. He hated to see her so frightened. He did not notice when his fingers became slack and his father's fang fell from his grasp.

*********************************************************** *************

Although his grip on the little woman never loosened, his body froze. There was another male here, a very angry male from the scent of him. And also, someone familiar. Tearing his lips from the miko with a low growl, he looked over to the male who had invaded on his time with the human.

“Half-breed. What is it that you seek here?” Sesshomaru rasped out. He had noted that Inuyasha seemed to be struggling internally with his own beast, but was too far lost in the heavenly scent of the woman still clutched to his chest to care.

“Let her go you son of a bitch! Get your filthy fucking hands off of my Kagome!” Inuyasha yelled out. He could feel it coming, his transformation, but he had no thought in his head other than saving Kagome. Any attempt he may have made to prevent his demon blood from taking control was gone when his brother spoke again.

“This woman is not yours whelp“ He stated while looking down at said miko. “She is unmarked, and beyond that she is unclaimed. This Sesshomaru will have her. Now leave.” Here he turned away from the boy who was so obviously undeserving of his time. He had better things to do, like bedding this human for example. He bent down to claim her mouth again and thought that the little gasp she gave was from his kiss.

Looking at Inuyasha from the corner of her eyes, Kagome saw the repercussions that Sesshomaru's words had on the hanyou. Inuyasha dropped to one knee and his head tipped forward slightly as his hair began to dance around his body of it's own accord. She knew what was happening even before she caught sight of the jagged stripes appearing on his cheeks. She wanted to help him, to stop what was destined to happen, but she was forced to admit that she was helpless to even aid herself, let alone Inuyasha. She gasped as the first tears of fright sqeezed out from the corners of her eyes. And then the demon that held her captive stiffened against her again.

What was this? The scent on the air was no longer that of a half-demon, but a full blooded and powerful one. Once again releasing his hold on the miko's mouth he looked over to Inuyasha. He growled at the sight of red eyes peering out from the hanyou's bangs and knew that his brother had once again lost himself to his demon side. As Inuyasha slowly stood and began to walk towards him, Sesshomaru let loose of the woman and prepared himself for the inevitable battle. So they would fight for the right to bed the woman? That was acceptable, for although Inuyasha was no doubt powerful in his demon state and would perhaps be a challenge for Sesshomaru, the hanyou was ultimately unable to control himself when in his current state. Sesshomaru growled again as he too began to walk forward to his enemy. He already knew he would be the victor.

********************************************************** **************

Sesshomaru had released her, but as much as she wanted to flee the scene and avoid the impending melee, Kagome knew that she could not abandon Inuyasha. Even if he were to win, he would not be able to control himself in his demon state and would go on a killing spree until it lead to his demise. Oh, but she wanted to run so badly. She caught herself unconsciously stepping backwards and away from the demons. She couldn't leave, she just couldn't. And now that she was momentarily free, she would have to do something to stop them. As they approached one another, she felt her anger at the two inuyoukai's start to flair.

What the hell was going on with them? Inuyasha had been so tender to her on that night three days ago, and had then treated her like dirt, going so far as to completely ignore her. Worse than that, he was also taking it out on her friends, and they certainly hadn't done anything wrong!

And Sesshomaru! He had never paid her a second glance before, and then tonight he had teased and tortured her all before, what exactly? Attempting to rape her?

The anger that burned through her at the recollection of how the demon lord had begun to force himself on her was like nothing that she had ever felt before. She became light headed, and did not know when she began to walk towards him. All she knew was that he would pay for what he had tried to do to her, and what he was now doing to Inuyasha. He was still moving towards said hanyou and she continued to walk up to him. She reached him just as his feet left the waters of the spring and touched down on the shore. Still in a rage inspired fog, she saw one of her small hands, covered in a blinding light, reach out and smack the back of his shoulder. She found herself pleased when he fell to the ground.

********************************************************** **************

The demon that was Inuyasha had been all too ready to attack this other male who dared to lay a hand on what did not belong to him when he saw the woman's eyes narrow. As she began to move towards the one who had until his arrival held her captive, she began to glow. Brighter and brighter the light became until it was almost blinding and Inuyasha was forced to turn away. He could feel her seething anger and the waves of power radiated over him. He hated the feeling and wanted to strike her down for it, but was helpless to look at her, let alone move in her direction.

Sesshomaru noted that the hanyou had stopped coming towards him and briefly thought that even in his demon state, Inuyasha had come to his senses. And then he felt that power again. The one he knew came from the miko when she was incredibly incensed. But it was too late; he never even had time to turn around before he felt a small hand upon his back. His last concept was one of severe pain, and then all was dark.

************************************************************ ************

“One down, one to go,” Kagome thought to herself. She looked up at Inuyasha, who currently had his eyes averted from the brightness of her aura, and felt a twinge of sadness for him. She hated to see him like this, lost to everything, even himself. Her aura diminished in strength at her sadness, and she saw Inuyasha's head whip around to look at her. He began to growl in a menacing way and started to approach her with a deadly look in his eyes. Never once looking away from him, Kagome did the one thing she knew would make him stop. There was no reasoning with him now, he was too far gone, and she knew it.

“Inuyasha,” she said softly. “Osuwari.” When he stopped his movement, but did not plunge to the ground, she repeated “Osuwari Inuyasha. Osuwari, osuwari, osuwari.” That was enough, and the demon before her ate dirt.

She stood her ground, waiting to see if more “sits” would be necessary, but rushed to the hanyou hole when she heard a pained groan.

“Are you okay Inuyasha?” She asked him worriedly, bending down beside the crater.

“Oh, fuck me” the hole mumbled back. “That hurts like a mother.”

Sitting back on her heels, she couldn't help but smile. “Well, at least his mouth wasn't hurt.” she thought. Standing up while waiting for the subjugation spell to wear off, she took stock of the scene. Sesshomaru was still passed out, and nude, face down on the bank of the spring. Although she had in her rage forgotten what had happened prior to Inuyasha showing up, the sight of the taiyoukai brought the entire scope of her situation crashing back down upon her. Sesshomaru had tried to rape her. Even though she knew that he was indifferent to humans, she couldn't deny what had almost happened. She just couldn't figure out why. All she knew was that if Inuyasha hadn't shown up when he did, well, she just didn't even want to think about what would have happened. She couldn't help herself, she began to cry.

She jumped when strong arms embraced her, reminding her of Sesshomaru's hold on her. Yet this grip was not made of iron, but rather soft and gentle. She turned to look up into the face of her protector. Watery blue met soft gold and she grabbed hold of the red kimono in front of her. Clutching it tightly, she began to downright sob.

Inuyasha gently stroked her hair and made soothing noises. He knew she must have been terrified, but she had ended up saving them all. Seeing the prone form of Sesshomaru on the ground, he growled lightly, but stopped when Kagome began to cry harder. He wanted to do something to help her, comfort her, but he couldn't, not when she was like this.

Pulling away from her and averting his eyes, he pulled off his robe and handed it to the woman before him. “Here, put this on. And then we'll get you back to camp.” He told her softly.

Kagome started at the realization that she was, in fact, still completely undressed. She quickly grabbed the proffered item of clothing and put it on. As she tied it around herself, she could only mutter, “thank you, Inuyasha.”

“Feh.” He replied while turning to look at her. He couldn't help the blush that formed on his face. Bending down, he offered her his back “Get on.”

“But what about my stuff? And Sesshomaru?” She asked.

“I'll come and get your stuff later. As for him,” He gestured with a tilt of his head “I don't want to be around when he wakes up. If he were any weaker, you would have just purified his ass to hell.” “And he would have deserved it too.” He thought gruffly.

“I did that?” Kagome thought to herself. “Since when have I been able to purify demons by touch alone?” Making a great effort to forget everything for the time being, she shook her head and climbed on Inuyasha's back. He gripped her legs tightly and they took off into the night, headed back to their camp site.

Uhh ohh. Poor Sesshy! But, then again, he WAS a very bad boy. What will he do to get back into Kags good graces? And what will Inu do to help comfort her? I smell sexiness from all corners of this little love triangle folks. I'm such a naughty girl.
