The first part of this chapter is dedicated to kittyb78 who has done most of my beta work as well as helping me past some writers block. She helped to formulate the first part of this chapter. I'd like to also contribute the first part of this chapter to kattana for giving me the ideas for the first part of this chapter as well. I'd like to also deidicate this chapter to Pitabread for her continued support of this story. I've greatly enjoyed reading her reviews and look forward to more of her reviews. Finally...

Koga tossed and turned as the ticking of the bedside clock marked off the seconds since he'd gone to bed. After polishing off his plate of food, and the proffered beer a wave of exhaustion flooded over Koga with the likes that he'd never known, but then he remembered that some times Jade's cooking had that affect on him. Suikotsu checked him out once more, reiterating that he was okay and to take it easy for a few days to regain his strength, of which Koga scoffed stating, “I'm a fast healer.”
 
Suikotsu laughed at the cockiness of Koga, shaking his head in having heard basically the same thing from his own younger brother in regards to his hand the day before. He'd packed his medical bag and left the cabin shortly after Koga had gone to bed. However, now… now at what appeared to be a little after two in the morning according to the neon hands upon the clock, Koga couldn't sleep. He'd fallen asleep with his nose planted firmly into the pillow Jade had used earlier, her heavenly scent lulling him to sleep. Koga welcomed her scent knowing that soon he'd have her in his arms once more, but he feared that she was being unfaithful yet again, considering the handsome foreman, who just happened to be her ex-boyfriend, was also staying at the cabin.
 
Because of his thoughts of her faithfulness coursed through his mind, his dreams reflected the same things. The most horrifying one he recalled was watching her practically screwing Ban right in front of him, crushing his heart in so many ways that it wasn't even funny. He'd woke up from that one in a panic induced sweat and now couldn't go back to sleep because of it.
 
As he glanced at the clock once more, confirming that it was a quarter after two in the morning, Koga thought, “I'll bet that the others are asleep and that I can sneak up to see Jade, just to make sure that she's okay.” Koga quickly flipped the blankets off his body as he slipped out of bed. His feet hardly making a sound as he stepped through the kitchen toward the stairs. He looked toward the living room couch where he could make out the form of Ban curled with his back toward the stairs; softly snoring as an indicator that he was in a deep sleep.
 
With a slight grin across his lips Koga turned his head toward the stairs, taking a whiff of the air, his inner demon was calmed by the soothing scent of Jade but he was still irked by the scent of Jak also upon the air. Despite his obvious choice in the same sex to keep his bed warm at night, Koga didn't like the idea of any male near his `woman' and it was because of his close proximity to Jade that Koga's inner demon roared it's possessiveness of her, demanding that Koga take and claim her now.
 
Quickly Koga ascended the stairs, trying to avoid making a sound, thus notifying the others of his approach. The next thing he knew he was at the second floor with two doors of which to choose from. With a tentative sniff, Koga moved toward the left, pushing the door open slightly to cast his gaze upon Jade's face as she'd turned toward the door. His face softened at how serene and angelic she looked curled up on her bed.
 
“Mi amor,” he thought as his azure eyes sparkled with love and devotion. Having calmed his inner demon, seeing that she was alone and asleep, Koga pulled her door shut and turned to head back down stairs. As he turned his eyes widened in shock at the flames of desire in two deep blue eyes as the thick scent of male arousal hit his nose like a ton of bricks.
“My… my… what do we have here but a little morsel that needs to be taught a lesson,” Jak purred as his eyes roved hungrily over Koga's body. As they settled upon his waist and groin, Jak licked his lips as he commented, “Never took you for the boxer brief kind… more of the commando style like myself, but no matter. You'll not be wearing them long after my Azote de la Serpiente gets done with you.”
Koga moved back from the sadistic Jak as he replied, “I don't think so. You're not my type, now if you'll excuse me; I'd like to go back to bed.” Koga tried to push past the sex crazed guy, only to be pushed back hard against the closed door of Jade's room.
“But I'm not done with you yet, sexy wolf,” Jak replied as he advanced upon Koga, pressing his body against the hardened abs and chest of the sickened wolf, tracing circles around his slightly darkened nipples.
Koga cringed at the close proximity of Jak as he tried to escape the clutches of the over zealous man. His hand tried to find the knob to Jade's room blindly as Jak moved his head closer to Koga's neck, licking across his collar bone, enjoying the taste of his sweet treat.
 
Ban grinned as he'd heard Koga ascend the stairs, knowing that Jak would be waiting for him. He'd been sleeping lightly in case the wolf had tried anything stupid, such as seeing Jade, but then he decided that he'd let Jak have his fun. A chuckle escaped his lips as he rolled onto his back, looking toward the upstairs landing as he heard Jak corner the foolish wolf with the thud of a hard body against wood.
Suddenly he realized that it was getting a little to quiet up there, fearing that Jak would follow through with his threats of skinning the wolf, Ban threw back the blankets as he bolted up the stairs. "I'd better go save that idiot wolf or else my brother will have him screaming and wake up Jade. Much as I'd like to see the wolf get his... I don't need them waking Jade...” Ban thought as he rounded the corner to the upstairs landing. His eyes widened in horror as his eyes fell upon the duo; with Koga's horror filled face pulled as far away from Jak as possible as his nympho brother's hands roamed over the tanned and toned physique of the wolf, traveling lower toward the waist of his boxer-briefs.
 
Seeing that Jak had him cornered and wasn't giving Koga a chance to escape, Ban quickly grabbed his brother's shoulder, pulling him forcefully off of Koga as he seethed, “Jak take the idiot outside for that or his screams will wake up Jade!”
 
Turning his lust crazed eyes toward his brother, Jak replied, huskily, “You have the right idea, Bro, let's take him out there and have some fun?”
 
Shaking his head slightly, Ban chuckled as he replied, “Na, you take him he's all yours. Just do it outside… away from the cabin or else you'll have Jade to answer to.”
 
Jak grinned deviously back at his brother as the wheels in his mind as his hand went to the handle of his whip that was casually coiled around his lithe waist. He turned back to his current prey as Koga tried to blend as well as he could into the wooden door of which he was pined. Licking his lips, Jak's mind slowly began to unwind, opening a door that had been locked for a very, very long time, allowing a glimpse of his psychotic side flash briefly in his lust filled eyes.
 
Koga glared in utter horror at the two obviously sadistic brothers trying harder then ever before to get away as he gulped nervously, “I see that Jade has a good pair of watch dogs. I've learned my lesson; I shouldn't have come up here to make sure she was okay. Just let me go back to my room and we can all forget that this ever happened.” His hand searched frantically for the knob to Jade's door, grasping it for a brief second before Jak flicked his wrist, wrapping Koga's arms to his sides with the whip's length.
 
Despite Koga's great strength, having been sapped from the effects of the lake, he still tried like hell to snap the whip, only to have it wrap tighter around his upper body. Jak laughed slightly as he pulled Koga closer to his own sweat slicked body as he purred, “Now… now… I can't have the party without you, my sexy friend.”
 
As Jak moved back toward the stairs, Koga began to struggle even more, fighting not only the whip but the vicious bastard that controlled it as well. With all his might, Koga called out, yelling despite his desires to keep Jade quiet and asleep only to have Ban slip behind him with his hand over Koga's mouth. “Cut it out,” he seethed in Koga's ear as he continued, “We wake her up now and she'll kill us all for sure.”
 
Koga glared daggers at Ban as he took the liberty to bit into the flesh of Ban's palm, causing him to pull it back into his chest, cursing rather loudly. “Serve's you both right if she wakes up for assaulting me you bastard. I thought that you cared about her, but I see that you want her all to your self,” Koga shot back as he continued to fight Jak while being practically dragged down the stairs.
 
“At least I followed her wishes not to disturb her. I thought that you'd have respected that, but apparently all you see her as is a freaking chew toy!” Ban retorted once they had reached the relative safety of the kitchen.
 
Unable to take much more of Ban's mouth as well as the implications, that he feared him self, Koga lunged at Ban, teeth bared and growling as he pulled against his captor. “How dare you compare that wonderful woman to a piece of raw hide or a knotted rope you walking corpse,” Koga seethed as his eyes bleed slightly red, his inner demon demanding to be released to defend his soon-to-be mate.
 
Jak laughed wickedly as he pulled Koga back toward the kitchen door, “Seems like my little wolf has some bite left to him. We'll have to fix that.” His sickening laughter pulled Koga slightly back toward his imminent peril as Ban pushed him hard against his back, forcing him toward the open door.
 
“You'd best just pay more attention to him than me, friend. Or you're going to be in a bigger world of hurt,” Ban replied as he followed closer behind Koga applying slight pressure to his back as Jak pulled him closer toward the barn, knowing that no amount of noise would escape the solid wooden structure.
 
Jak slid the door open, flicking on a light as he pulled his prey closer toward the center of the barn. His manic need for both blood and sex were beginning to slip the confines of his tightly controlled mind, however the fighting piece of nearly naked wolf flesh behind him egged on his psychotic side sending urges into his system that he'd never experienced like this. Yeah, he'd had occasions that it was overwhelming but he'd been able to resist them, but now… now he couldn't contain them, not like he was trying very hard either.
 
Looking around the barn, Jak's lust filled eyes widened as he quickly spotted what he'd been looking for. Swiftly, with his other hand, Jak swung a heavy rope over the heavy beam before he wrapped one end around Koga's wrists. He loosened his Azote de la Serpiente to allow it to coil lightly at his feet, while he tied off the other end, pulling Koga roughly off the ground to where only his toes touched the dirt floor of the barn.
 
 
Ban leaned against the door as he watched Jak prowl around Koga, eyeing the wolf as if he were a prime piece of meat. He knew that Jak was having his fun, and Ban agreed that Koga needed a lesson; however he was slightly worried about Jak's actions as well as his stance toward the wolf. “I hope that Jak keeps a level head about this before it gets out of hand,” Ban thought slightly worried as he saw Jak flick his whip a couple of times, opening shallow wounds along Koga's raised arms and his upper thighs.
 
 
Koga glared at Jak as he continued to prowl around his strung up form. “What the hell is your problem?” he growled as the scent of Jak's arousal nearly knocked him out with its powerful musk.
 
“You look good enough to eat,” Jak purred as he stepped closer toward his captive, licking his lips once more as he moved his hands over Koga's strong chest, taking the sweat off with his fingertips before sucking them like some delectable treat.
 
Koga gripped the rope with his hands as he kicked, lashing out at Jak who stumbled onto the floor of the barn as he shot back, “I've told you before to leave me the hell alone, you sadistic bastard. I'm not into that type of relationship.” Koga shot a glance toward Ban at the door as he called out, “Rein him in will you?”
 
Ban shook his head once more as he replied, arms crossed over his chest, “You broke the rules, wolf. Now you have to pay the price.”
 
Jak wiped the blood from his lips as he looked almost hungrily at Koga. “Tisk… tisk… I see that you need more of a lesson then I thought,” Jak replied as he slowly, almost snake like rose from the ground. “You shall not only bleed, but you will welcome my advances with open arms by the time I'm done with you,” he cooed, flicking the whip a few times before letting loose with a few savage lashes.
 
Koga's face twisted into a mask of utter pain but he refused to cry out to fuel the psychotic bastard as three whip marks sliced his skin with near surgical precision across his chest with three more across his back. Once the whip settled back near Jak's feet, he moved toward the wolf's flayed back, licking the blood that spilt down his back from the wounds. “Mmmm… you taste better than I thought,” Jak purred as he moved toward Koga's front, his fingers tracing the wounds that his whip had left behind.
 
Kicking out once more, Koga growled, “Hands off, jackass.”
 
Jak grabbed Koga's leg, anticipating the move as he ran his hands over the muscular appendage. “I think that you're beginning to like this more than you're admitting. Maybe I should take a bite and see what your flesh tastes like,” Jak replied as his hands roamed higher up the thigh, brushing the lower edge of his boxer-briefs.
 
 
Ban watched as Jak had his little fun, but slowly he saw that Jak was headed toward something that he wanted no part of. It was one thing to show Koga that no one messed with Jade while they were around, but it was another to rape him, which is what was about to happen if he allowed things to continue. He stepped toward Jak as he was about to take a bite out of Koga's thigh.
Ban quickly grabbed his brother's shoulder, pulling him forcefully off of Koga's leg as he seethed, “Hey Jak, he's had enough. Why don't you let him go?”
Turning his lust crazed eyes toward his brother, not really acknowledging what Ban had said, Jak replied, huskily, “So you decided to come join in the fun?”
 Reeling from the implications of what Jak was suggesting, Ban shook his head as he balled up his fist. “I'm not into that type of thing, Jak. You should know that by now and nothing you do or say will change my mind,” he ground out between clenched teeth.
Ignoring what Ban had said, Jak turned toward his brother, his sights straying from the wounded wolf to more promising prey. He practically pounced on Ban as his raging desires took over all his common sense, seeing just another male in front of him instead of his own flesh and blood brother. Ban slammed onto the dirt floor, landing hard on his back with Jak straddling his chest. Seeing that Jak was practically out of his mind with blood lust and sexual need, Ban flipped Jak off his body, pinning him to the hard wood floor.
 
Seeing that Ban had Jak firmly in hand, Koga flexed his claws, slicing the rope above his head, which caused him to drop harshly onto the floor. Removing the rope from his wrists, Koga glanced at the wounds upon his chest, then back at the bastard that had given them. “How can Jade stay with people like this?” he thought as he moved away from the struggling brothers and headed toward the door, hoping that these marks would heal before morning.
 
“So you like it rough?” Jak practically cooed, as he leered at Ban, wiggling and writhing under his brother in a near show of ecstasy.
 Ban rolled his eyes as he tried to hold his brother down, not enjoying any of what Jak was trying to pull. He knew that on occasions that Jak would get into a craze like this and the only things for him to do were sleep it off or to have a wild romp with his lover. Knowing that neither he or Koga wanted to indulge in the later, Ban knew that the former would be agreeable to both. Glancing over at Koga, who was headed toward the barn door, still visibly shaken from Jak's advances and subsequent attacks, Ban growled, “Could you help me?”
 “I'm not touching that `thing,' unless it's to kill him,” Koga snapped as he pointed toward Jak, who was obviously enjoying his brother's weight upon his chest, his hands pinned above his head.
 “I need you to knock him out! It's the only way to get him out of this… this funk that he's in,” Ban growled as Jak become even more unmanageable.
 Getting agitated at being denied what he truly wanted, Jak flipped Ban off his body, and lunged for Koga as he set his crazed eyes upon the retreating wolf. Seeing this as an opportunity to put Jak out of his misery for a bit, Koga dodged his attack, turning as he brought his arms around the crazed man's neck putting him in a sleeper hold.
“I don't think so jackass,” Koga growled as he tightened his grip. With arms like steel, Koga held Jak against his injured chest long enough to get the desired effect of knocking out the nymphomaniac. Once Jak sagged in Koga's embrace, Ban took his brother from Koga's arms and laid him on the ground, contemplating his next move.
As Ban looked at his unconscious brother, he thought, “He's going to have one hell of a headache in the morning. I'd bet he's off his meds again. He'd better thank me for this in the morning.” Turning back toward the barn door, Ban saw Koga leaning against the door frame, breathing in the clean mountain air, either deep in thought or trying to shake off the actions of this night, though still clearly pissed about the events of the evening.
 As he left his brother's side, Ban moved toward Koga, placing a hand gingerly upon Koga's shoulder as he looked at the wolf gratefully. “Thanks for knocking him out, or we'd have had one hell of a night. When he gets like this, almost nothing that anyone does can get him out of it, save for knocking him out or… you know,” as he raised an eyebrow in a suggestive manner.
 “Yeah, I kind of figured that. However, that still doesn't excuse you or him, for that matter, of what you did to me. How could you, Ban, as Jade's friends advocate this,” as he waved at the somewhat healed whip marks, “type of behavior toward her other friends? Are you all some sort of sadistic family that craves pain with pleasure?” Koga asked his voice rose as his anger flowed through every word.
“No,” Ban explained, “No we're not what you think Koga. Don't get me wrong, some of my brothers have their issues, such as Jak, but we all care for Jade. She's been like a sister to most of my brothers and she was my lover and girlfriend for a while but I'd never hurt her that way. I just…” unable to find the words to show Koga how bad he felt, Ban leaned against the wall delving deep into his heart as he searched for the words.
Kind of knowing where he was coming from, Koga replied as his anger ebbed at the realization of what he was trying to say, “You just wanted to teach me a lesson about how to respect Jade, is that it?”
Ban's head snapped up as the words left Koga's lips. “How did you…”
“How did I know? It's been the source of many fights for me this past week. Trust me when I say that I've learned that Jade is precious to not only me but others as well who she's graced their lives with her presence. I've taken her for granted some times and my jealous nature got the best of me when I should have listened, but that's changed,” he replied as he looked Ban hard in the eyes as both began to understand how the other felt.
Both men looked back at the unconscious Jak lying on the dirt floor of the barn as Ban said, “We should get him back to bed or he'll be pissed about sleeping in the barn.” Glancing back toward Koga with raised eye brow, “Would you mind helping me?” he asked.
Koga's eyes stayed upon the unmoved form of Jak as he replied, “I'd rather leave him here to rot for all I care.”
“I'm of the same opinion, but there'd be hell to pay. Besides that, I'm not up to getting whipped any time soon. He's still not letting me forget that Jade kicked my ass this morning,” Ban replied as he took one of Jak's arms around his shoulder, gently lifting him haphazardly from the ground.
Seeing the foreman struggle a little under the weight of his brother, Koga gripped the other arm, dragging it over his shoulders with a bit of a grunt, trying not to reopen the whip marks across his back or chest. Together the two men dragged Jak back into the house, through the kitchen, and then they carried him up the stairs and tossed him into bed. After Ban covered his brother with the sheet, blankets and quilt, he and Koga left the room, stopping at the top of the stairs as they both caught their breath.
Both glanced toward Jade's door as Koga said, “I just hope that with all that commotion outside that it didn't wake up Jade,” Koga replied as he headed toward her door once more.
 Ban placed a firm hand upon Koga's shoulder as he stated, “You're not going in there!”
 “No, I wasn't planning on it,” Koga snapped as he moved toward the door. “I just want to make sure that she's still asleep is all,” he continued as he slid the door open far enough to where both men could look upon her still sleeping form.
 As he quietly shut the door, Koga looked back toward Ban as he said, “I don't know about you, but I could go for some more sleep, once I jump in the shower to get the stench from your brother off me.”
 With a wide yawn and a stretch of his back where he'd landed on the floor, Ban replied, “Sounds like a good idea to me.”
 Both men headed down the stairs with the silent understanding that neither would disturb Jade until she woke up the next morning. Ban slid onto the couch, covering his suddenly exhausted body as he thought about how much Koga's love toward Jade showed in his actions. “He must really care for her, to respect her wishes like that,” he thought before drifting off to sleep.
 
 
 
Onigumo gazed down at the trio as the noise from their escapades awakened him from a sound sleep from his bed in the hay on the second level of the barn. “Shit… I'd have been better off sleeping with the horse,” he thought as he saw Jak hoist the wolf demon he'd followed to the cabin onto a beam.
 
His eyes widened as Jak lashed Koga a few times, causing minor flesh wounds. As the torture continued, with the sadistic man holding the whip taunting the wolf; Onigumo slunk farther from view but couldn't pull his eyes away from the scene before him. “I'd better get the hell out of here as soon as I grab Naraku's next bitch,” he thought as he saw Ban move toward Jak and the subsequent struggle that he had.
 
Seeing that the fight was about over, he pulled farther back toward his blankets as he thought, “This is getting way out of hand. I've got to get a better class of friends.”
 
Once he found a comfortable spot among the hay and straw, Onigumo pulled his blankets about his shoulders as he thought, “First thing this morning, I'll grab her, subdue her with the chloroform and carry her back to the car, then get the hell off this damn ranch. Then I'll be with my beloved Kikyo and take her away from that bastard Naraku.”
 
He closed his eyes as his final thoughts settled upon his beloved high class bitch and how he'd show her how much better he was than the likes of the sadistic bastard, Naraku.
 
 
Dream sequence, later in the early morning…
 
Noise filled the bar as it reached the sensitive ears of the demon as he prowled through the crowd toward the bartender as he dried a glass. “Set `em up,” he said once he got to a vacant spot near the bartender. The gentleman set down his glass that he'd been drying in front of the demon and poured a shot of whiskey which the demon downed in one swallow before paying his tab.
 
He leaned back against the bar his eyes roving over the crowd searching for his true love. “Where are you?” he said to himself as he continued to look for his missing half. Suddenly his eyes fell upon the one he's been searching for, his beloved was bent over a far pool table, lining up for a trick shot to get sink the 8 ball without scratching the queue ball.
 
Quickly he downed another shot of whiskey before he headed toward the pool tables. His eye shimmered with love as he watched the pool queue strike, with a resounding thwack sending the white queue ball straight toward the black 8 ball, nudging it in before coming to a hair's breath from toppling into the corner pocket. Before the person had a chance to straighten up from the table, the demon pressed his body solidly into the figure, grinding his hips into the round firm posterior.
 
“Hey,” the person protested, “Not here or I'll be forced to take you here and now.” The figure turned their head toward the hungry demon, which had started nipping along the tanned exposed neck line.
 
Growling in slight irritation, the demon replied, huskily, “You're no fun. But you'd better be prepared for later when I get you home.” With a final nip to the exposed neck, leaving a nice purple hickey, he moved away from the leaning figure, giving them enough room to move around.
 
Jade walked into the bar a short time later, her eyes roving for her blue-eyed, dark haired wolf demon. She looked in all the usual places, the bar, pool tables and dart boards. With a slight huff, exasperated at the fact that she knew he was there because his Bronco was parked outside, Jade moved back toward the bar hoping that either Ginta or Hakkaku had seen him. Quickly she walked past the office door where the musky scents of old worn leather and lodge pole pine lingered.
 
Her eyes widened as she recognized both scents. “What the hell?” she thought as her hand moved toward the door knob, gripping the golden knob as she tried to calm her racing heart. Jiggling the knob a couple of times, noticing that it's locked. Slightly furious at being unable to get in, Jade pressed an ear toward the door to see if she could hear what was going on.
 
Seeing as the door was pretty solid, Jade was unable to hear much, other than some muffled noises, which made her even more furious as well as curious at the same time. Unable to stand the suspense any longer, knowing that her beloved wolf was behind the door, Jade move a few steps away, before charging the door, kicking it open with a precise strike. Once the door swung open, Jade was faced with the most unbelievable sight before her.
 
Her eyes widened to the size of saucers as her mouth opened and closed like a fish out of water. Once she was able to find her voice, all she could do was scream as she covered her eyes and ran from the office, not caring that everyone in the bar was gawking between her and the open office door.
 
“What the hell?” Koga demanded as he looked at Jade as she stood in the door way unable to say a word as he moved his body toward the figure lying over the heavy wooden office desk, his hands gripping the firm chest as he ground against the figure's hips.
 
As his head rolled toward the open office door, seeing the shocked look upon Jade's face, Ban's blue eyes narrowed as he replied, “She just realized that she's being cheated on, my love. Jade will get over it like I did, now would you hurry up and shut the door so that we can get more acquainted. I told you that if you had continued your advances that I'd take you here and now!”
 
End dream sequence…
 
Three sets of eyes shot wide open as one. Screams of the horrifying nightmare resounded through out the area, ricocheting off the mountain lake.
