To Love and Protect


Naraku sat in darkness. His fearful servants had left him alone hours before. His eyes were open, but he did not see what lay in the elegant bedroom before him: the fine dinner, the soft nightclothes. These items had been laid out quickly by his attendants who had beat a hasty retreat when they saw their masters scarlet eyes, the eyes of a demon.

They were drawing near again. The pathetic girl, the hot tempered half-demon, the stupid monk and the refugee demon slayer. He watched them making camp through the eyes of one of his puppets. He had to be extremely careful, that contemptuous dog boy had keen senses. Naraku could feel the hatred boiling under his skin, a roiling lava-like flow. It made him tingle all over; he could feel his long ebony hair crackle on his scalp, as he watched them. The fact that Inu-Yasha was still alive could not be borne any longer.

As he watched he could sense something had changed in this group since their last encounter. What was this new sense of intimacy he noticed between Miroku and Sango, and between Inu-Yasha and Kagome? Something had happened, and he would find a way to use it to his advantage.

The fire sent up long shadows around the two couples camping for the night on the edge of the forest. Miroku sat against a large rock, Sango Cradled across his lap. Inu-Yasha had begrudgingly got out of his tree, and sat with his arms tucked into the sleeves of his fire rat gi, so that Kagome could rest her head on his shoulder. The warmth in his eyes as he stole looks at her belied his irritable demeanor. Suddenly Inu-Yasha leapt to his feet with a growl, clenching his fists. He thought he had heard something coming. Kagome was thrown off to the side as he got up, and she looked up at the expression on his face fearfully.

“You stay here,” he said to her, and glared at the others as they stood up.

“You can’t make us stay behind,” said Miroku, “if something is coming we’re going with you.”

“I have better night vision than all of you,” he growled, “I can’t worry about you stumbling about in the dark after me. Remember the last time we were separated in the woods at night? Not to mention we are close to where Naraku lives.”

Sango, Miroku and Kagome shrank back at the memories of the time they were separated and assaulted with awful visions. And Naraku was not someone they wanted to encounter just yet.

They acquiesced and Inu-Yasha stalked into the forest, Tetsuiga drawn.

Kagome shivered now that Inu-Yasha had taken himself and the warmth of his body away from her. She tried not to be afraid, despite the terrifying memories the name of Naraku had dredged up.

They came from all directions, crashing through the trees with such ferocious speed that Miroku, Sango and Kagome barely had time to get to their feet. There were four of them, each at least 12 feet tall, with canines like small swords and eyes a bloody glow. Bear demons. They had Miroku and Sango pinned against the rock, making it hard to fight in such close quarters. Finally Miroku managed to free his hand and suck up the bears without taking his friends and the campsite with them. The bears gone, he bent down and clasped his knees panting.

“Sango, are you all right?” he managed to gasp after a moment.

“Yes, I’m fine,” she said, “but where is Kagome?”

“Isn’t she with you?”

“No!”

“Kagome! Kagome!” they called desperately, but there was no answer.

Frantically they searched the area immediately adjacent to the campsite, but did not go into the pitch black forest where they would not be able to see if there were anymore bear demons about. They found signs of a scuffle, but no Kagome. Dejectedly they sat down and waited for Inu-Yasha to return. He came back twenty minutes later, Tetsuiaga and his claws dripping with demon blood, his eyes dying embers. He surveyed the scene at the campsite and hissed angrily.

“What happened? Where’s Kagome? I told that stupid girl to stay put!”

“We don’t know,” said Miroku wearily, “We were attacked by bear demons, and when it was over Kagome was gone.”

Inu-Yasha sheathed his sword and bent down on the ground, sniffing around the area where he had left her.

“You let one of the damned bear demons take her away!” He stormed.

Miroku tried to stammer something in his defense, but Inu-Yasha wasn’t listening. Instead he followed the scent trail into the forest and disappeared.

Kagome had struggled desperately in the jaws of the bear demon. Its grip was so strong she could barely breath, let alone to try to get air enough to scream. It carried her away in the heat of battle, and she couldn’t even call out to her friends. After traveling a while into the forest, the bear stopped but did not put her down. Then she was buffeted by gusts of rancid air, and a huge demon bird of prey hovered a moment over them until the bear could transfer her to its claws. Its vice-like talons clamped around her waist and chest, it rose just above the trees and carried her the rest of the way. With dread she saw where it was taking her: the mansion of Naraku.

Kagome was met outside the mansion by one of Narakus puppets. It grabbed her roughly, clamping a hand over her mouth, and dragged her into the quiet house. In Narakus room it dumped her on the floor and then slipped away. The room was barely illuminated, and she could just make out Narakus glittering eyes and evil smirk in the gloom. The air had been knocked out of her, and her bruised ribs were making it painful to breath or talk.

“I don’t have any shards on me,” she finally managed to gasp, “and you have most of them any way. I don’t know what you think your going to get from me.”

His smirk grew wider and she heard the rustle of fabric as he got up from where he was seated and came over to her. She tried to scuttle backwards away from him as he loomed over her, but he bent down and grabbed her. He hauled her up, his hand gripping her jaw painfully, and made her look into his eyes.

“Did I say I was after your pathetic jewel shards?” he almost purred.

She was unable to speak as his free hand moved up her body, painfully pressing her injured ribs. He cupped her left breast suddenly in his hand, and started to fondle her through her blouse. Frantically she tried to pull his hand away, but he shook her until she thought her head would fall off, and was forced to stop trying. Her heart beat wildly as she felt him remove her clothes. In a few moments she stood naked in his grasp, her clothes pooled around her feet. Oh, Inu-Yasha where are you? She thought desperately. He had to be coming for her, she just knew he had to be!

Naraku slid his hand down her body to the soft, curly, hair of her pubic region, and he felt her gurgled scream as he suddenly plunged three fingers inside her. Just as he expected, her vaginal walls were puffy and elastic from recent use, and her hymen was gone. Dog boy had been fucking this bitch all right. He through her down on the tatmi mats, and she was momentarily stunned. Her body glowed palely, her eyes flashed with fear, and he felt himself became aroused at this sight. She looked so much like Kikyo in this light. Quickly he disrobed, and fell on top of her, supporting himself on his hands and trapping her with his body.

His body on top of hers was like a steel cage, his malevolent face inches from her own. She could feel his erection brushing her mound and her stomach. Shivers of terror coursed through her, and the only coherent thought in her mind was the chanting of Inu-Yashas name. She held onto it like a mantra, as Narakus mouth came down hard upon her own, forcing hers open, and he drove in his tongue violently. She choked as his hard body came down to press her onto the mats, his hands pinning her arms out to her sides. He tried to open her legs with his own, but she fought him. Suddenly he bit her tongue and painfully squeezed her arms at the same time, and this assault managed to make her legs go limp. Quickly he spread her legs with his own and plunged viciously into her. She tried to tighten her vaginal walls to keep him out, but this only enflamed him further. Brutally he thrust against her resistance, his steel hard cock like a battering ram, plunging deep within her and purposefully bruising her inside. She bucked underneath him, and tried to scream, but he still had control of her mouth with his own. The sweet taste of her blood from her bitten tongue filled his mouth and he relished it.

Naraku raped her over and over, late into the night. Her attempts to fight him became more and more feeble with each assault, and her mind became numb. When he was done with her he called to his servants and instructed them to take her away and lock her up. They carried her to a room where she was tossed in naked and battered. She just lay where she landed and passed into blessed unconsciousness.

The next morning Naraku had them bathe Kagome thoroughly, groom her, and tend to the injuries she had sustained, but this was not done out of kindness. They dressed her in her clothes and brought her in to the forest.

Inu-Yasha had trailed Kagome to deep within the forest. He had followed the scent of her captors all night, until he’d finally come upon the bear demon an hour before dawn. The battle was fierce, and he called out her name as he plunged Tetsuiga into the bear over and over. But she was not in the bears cave, and he was not going to return without her. Instead he jumped into a tree to take a brief nap before continuing his search.

Narakus spies had found where Inu-Yasha was sleeping, and Kagome was released not far from him. They gave the unresponsive girl a shove in the right direction and left. He awoke to the sound of her stumbling around in the brush near the bear’s lair.

“Kagome!” he called out, jumping out of the tree and ran over to grab her by the arms as she tripped and almost fell over a tree root.

She looked up at him with a dazed expression on her face.

“Inu-Yasha,” she croaked.

“What happened to you?” he said, pulling her into an embrace. “Were you here all along? I could find no scent of you!”

“I…I don’t know.” Her mind was a blur of confusion. Something bad had happened, but what? She couldn’t remember. But she was grateful to be in Inu-Yashas arms. She was flooded with relief, as if she had been waiting for him for a long, long, time.

Back at the campsite Miroku and Sango were relieved as well to see them, and full of questions. Kagome sat quietly while Inu-Yasha explained his search for her, but she did not have much to tell them about her ordeal. The last thing she remembered was being carried off by the bear demon. After a while they stopped asking about it, and they all prepared to leave.

Kagome was apathetic the rest of the day, bringing a solemn mood down upon her companions as they traveled. Inu-Yasha was steaming, he wanted to know what had happened to her, but he also knew he would get nothing from her until she remembered. As frustrating as it was, he would not press her. He could tell by the haunted look in her eyes that what ever she had been subjected to had been terrible, and he stifled his impatience.

By the time they made camp again, Inu-Yasha felt sorry for Kagome. She was acting strong, but he caught a pleading look from her when their eyes would meet, so he decided he would sleep on the ground that night to comfort her. She came over to him with her sleeping bag, and he took her in his arms. Sighing, she laid her head on his shoulder and they fell asleep.

Late in the night, Inu-Yasha jolted awake by the shaking of Kagome next to him. Her body shook violently against him, so he drew her tightly to him and whispered reassuringly in her ear that she was safe, he would protect her. As the shaking subsided, she reached out and caressed his cheek.

“Please kiss me,” she said softly, “I need you.”

They embraced and kissed. As he kissed her Inu-Yasha felt the tenderness in her kisses start changing to passion. He responded to her, and they peeled off each other’s clothes with the smoothness of lovers experienced with each other’s bodies. Her flesh felt hot to his touch, her nipples rock hard as he gently but firmly took them in his mouth and sucked on them. She wriggled underneath him and wrapped her legs around his hips. He guided himself into her and heard her hiss with pleasure. Her heat and moisture consumed his senses with each thrust, and he closed his eyes and lost himself in the building waves of pleasure. That’s why he did not notice the change coming over her.

Kagome’s long hair began to writhe and twist, as if it had a life of its own. Her teeth grew long and sharp and her eyes began to turn scarlet red. Her arms and legs gripped him with a sudden ferocious strength, which startled him, and he opened his eyes and looked down in horror. The sweet face of his lover was gone, replaced by that of a slavering demon. She held him in a vise-like grip, even his cock buried deep inside her, and her hair whipped up to restrain his arms and neck. He cried out and Miroku and Sango started awake.

“Inu-Yasha! What’s going on?” Miroku yelled. He gaped at the scene before him. Naked and with his member buried deep within her, Inu-Yasha was struggling in the grasp of a demon. But how had this happened? He and Sango reached for their weapons.

“Don’t do anything!” Inu-Yasha said hoarsely, “Its Kagome, she’s possessed.”

They looked on helplessly as Inu-Yasha fought to get free. He felt as if all his vitality was being leached out of him through his cock. He wanted to rage against his captor, but he did not want to hurt his lover, Kagome. His mind raced with these contradictions while he was slowly losing energy, and if he did not think of something soon he would lose too much strength to break free.

“Kagome, I know you’re in there!” he said, “If you can hear me, you must expel this demon! Don’t let it possess you!”

The demon cackled, but Inu-Yasha thought he saw a glimmer of his lover in its eyes.

“Fight it, fight it!”

The glimmer seemed to be fading, Inu-Yasha felt a surge of anger, but he quelled it. What did he need to do to reach her? All his time spent with Kagome, all the things she had said and done, seemed to sink from his memory deep within him to his heart, and he reached for an understanding of her that he never let himself see before. He had known all along the only way to reach her.

“Kagome, I know you love me,” he said softly trying to look at her tenderly and see past the hideous demon. “And I know I never told you this, and I should have. I love you too, Kagome. Please come back to me.”

A shudder went through the demon; he felt a slight release of its grip. But he was fading.

“I want you Kagome, I need you. I know you love me as much as I love you. Come back to me.”

A shriek came from the demons mouth, and the red eyes began to fade. Shudders went through her, and the hair that strangled and constricted him began to loosen. The drain on his life force began to stop as her whole body began to relax and release him.

Slowly the face of the demon became the confused, concerned and beautiful face of his Kagome again.

“Inu-Yasha?” he heard her say his name tremulously as he passed out.

Kagome returned as if from a black nightmarish, vortex. She came swimming into consciousness in time to call out her lover’s name, only to have him topple over unconscious on top of her. She was confused, what had happened? Memories came back to her, but she was not sure of them. She thought she remembered him calling her name. He told her…he loved her. Yes, she definitely remembered that. He said he loved her, wanted her, and needed her. Suddenly Miroku and Sango were upon her, lifting Inu-Yasha off her. She hadn’t noticed how his weight had been crushing her until it was gone. Gently they laid him down next to her and then turned to see if she was all right. Their pale, shaken faces struck her nervously.
“What happened,” she asked them, drawing the sleeping bag up to cover her nakedness.

Sango looked at Miroku and he nodded.

“We don’t know how it happened, but we woke up and found Inu-Yasha struggling with a demon.”

Kagome’s brows came down in a frown as both Miroku and Sango turned their eyes away from her and towards the ground.

“What demon?” she said.

Miroku licked his lips and glanced up at Sango. She was looking steadily at him as if to say, go on.

“Well, it was you. You were possessed.”

Kagome’s jaw dropped in disbelief.

“Inu-Yasha brought you back by telling you how much he loved you.” Said Sango.

Suddenly it all came flooding back to her. How she was brought to Naraku’s mansion, the hours he spent raping her, how he taunted her and told her he was leaving a special gift inside her for Inu-Yasha with his seed. She shuddered with the memory of the terrible burning in her womb as he came inside her again and again. A dam had been broken and she started to cry, her sobs becoming more and more desperate as she was assaulted by the terrible memories, the images painfully filling her mind. Blindly she reached for Inu-Yasha’s sleeping body next to her.

“Where were you?” she cried, “How come you didn’t save me?”

She beat helplessly on his chest with her fist, while Miroku and Sango reached out their hands in an effort to comfort her.

“What happened to you Kagome? Tell us, we’re your friends.” Said Sango.

Slowly, through her tears, she sobbed out the story of her abduction and rape by Naraku.

“And where was Inu-Yasha, how come he didn’t find me before this happened?”

“You know he went looking for you,” said Miroku, “he would never give up until he found you.”

“He said he would protect me, I needed him and he wasn’t there!” she wailed.

They hadn’t noticed that Inu-Yasha had quietly woken up while she was telling her harrowing story. He had just lain there listening, and as she had recounted her rape his face had become drawn and hard. Suddenly he leapt up, still unsteady on his feet and grabbed his clothes. They all stopped and looked at him in shock. He turned at the lull in the conversation to find all eyes on him. He looked pale and his eyes flashed, and he couldn’t speak to them. He was angry, but most of all he was hurt. Kagome’s puffy, tear stained face and her last accusations were too much for him to bear. Without saying a word he stormed away to get a grip on his raging emotions. No one tried to follow him, they could tell he needed to be alone, but he felt a sharp pain at the look of reproach on Kagome’s face as he turned away.

He spent the rest of the night in a tree away from the campsite, unable to sleep with the feelings of rage, guilt, and hurt that coursed through him. He had tried to find her! How could he have failed to protect her? She had to understand, he had really tried, he would never give up! But the bottom line was he had failed, he knew that now, and would she ever believe him again? Would she forgive him? How could he have failed her?

When his thoughts suddenly veered to Naraku, he felt the pure burn of anger begin to melt away the confusion and pain. Naraku would pay. Now not just for what he had done to him and Kikyo, but what he’d done to Kagome as well.
