InuYasha hurried down the stairs. Halfway through the room that appeared to
be a den, the girl in his arms stirred. He stopped at her moan to see if he
was causing her any pain. Her eyes opened a little as the moan took on soft
yet painful words. "Teddy......please....get Teddy." She began to sob quietly.
InuYasha froze. Her tears were tearing at his insides. He couldn't stand to
see a girl cry and this weak, tortured girl was crying in his arms. He
turned and looked back at the staircase. "Shippo, go back to that bedroom
and get the teddy bear that's on the bed."
The fox kitsune gave a firm nod before darting back up the stairs. He returned
a few seconds later with the stuffed, brown teddy bear. "I got it."
InuYasha turned his attention to the quietly crying girl in his arms,
whispering low. "Hey, we got your teddy bear. Shippo is holding him. Okay?"
Eyes dim and closing, she gave a small quick nod before
falling back out.
--------------------------------------------------------------
InuYasha stepped out of the house with Rin in his arms. Bright, flashing
blue and red lights startled him. He looked down the street to see three
police cars approaching the house pretty fast.
Trying to look as nonthreatening as possible, InuYasha slowly walked across
the lawn toward the street. He stopped a few feet away from the driveway and
waited. Two of the cars pulled up in the driveway as one parked at the
street's edge. Silently hoping these guys did not get the wrong impression,
InuYasha stood very still. The fox kit was perched on his shoulder, shaking
slightly, probably worried the police would take him in.
A very tall male youkai got out of the driver's side of the first car. He was
quite large with tiger stipes across his face and wrists, obviously a tiger
youkai. A human male got out of the other car in the driveway and began to
come around to join the tiger male.
InuYasha dared not glance at the car on the edge of the street. Instead,
he used his nose after hearing the patrol car door slam. He sniffed
inconspicuously, determing the other police person to be a female hawk
youkai. He could also hear the rustle of her feathers as she came closer.
He waited calmly as the tiger and human approached him.
The tiger was the first to speak. "You there. We were called about a
disturbance in this area. May I ask what is going on here?" He sniffed and
looked down at the bundle in his arms. "That human female is hurt."
He glanced at the human policeman. "Larry, call the paramedics. Now."
When the human policeman turned and hurried back to his car, the tiger
youkai narrowed his eyes at him. "Explain. Now."
Gripping the bundle a little tighter, InuYasha relaxed the nervous tension
in his shoulders. "I will explain, but, to help understand the situation
better, I suggest you call Lt. Kouga of Juniper Valley in Little Mountain
county."
Those steely gold eyes lightened some. "Kouga? I know Kouga. We went to the
training academy together. He was my roommate."
InuYasha could have thanked the stars at that moment. It was a favorable
coincidence. "He can explain much about why we are here. My name is InuYasha
and I have come here with my brother, Sesshoumaru, to help rescue this girl
in my arms. She is Sesshoumaru's mate."
At that moment, the hawk youkai, who had stopped next to the tiger while he
was talking, spoke up. "InuYasha and Sesshoumaru? You two are the sons of
Inutaishio, are you not?"
"Yes."
"Your father is very respected, InuYasha. Where is your brother now?"
InuYasha glanced at the side of the house without turning his head.
"He... is taking care of the one who hurt this girl."
Both youkai, who had caught his quick glance, turned their heads and looked
in the same direction as he had. The tiger let out a low irritated growl.
"Your brother should not be taking the law into his own hands. Who is he
fighting?"
"Her father."
Instantly, both youkai switched their attention to the bundle in his arms.
He knew what the tiger smelled. The striped cat youkai knew what had been
done to this girl today. Hell, any youkai could take one wiff and know.
As the human policeman began walking back toward them, the tiger youkai's
expression became grave. "Her father...did this to her? The scent on her does
not match a relative's. It is the scent of a spider hanyou."
InuYasha slowly shook his head, hoping the girl was not conscious to hear all
of this. He did not know how her fragile mindset would react if she found out
other people knew about what her father had done to her. "The girl's father
is not her biological sire. We have no idea who her biological father is."
The hawk jerked her head to the side in hawklike movement. "Where is her mother?"
"She died in a car accident several years ago." InuYasha replied.
The tiger youkai pointed to the side of the house. "Sarah, you and I will go
see about this fight. Larry, stay here with Mr. InuYasha and the girl, get on
the horn and get me two miko's here fast. I want to make sure we can contain
the spider hanyou if he tries to get away. I also want you to call Lt. Kouga
of the Juniper Valley police, make sure he gets here within the next thirty
minutes."
-------------------------------------------------------------
Sesshoumaru gazed at the bloody hanyou at his feet. He had wanted the pain to
last longer, the torture to be endless but...it was time to stop. As he heard
the car doors slam not too far away, he lifted his right hand and flicked the
blood from his claws. "You deserve more, but I will spare your pathetic hide
for the authorities."
The crumpled mass only gurlged in response, unable to speak for his jaw
had been crushed.
A few minutes later, two policemen quickly walked up from behind. Sesshoumaru
sensed the two to be youkai: tiger and a hawk. The tiger growled. "Step away
from the hanyou, Sesshoumaru."
Obviously, InuYasha had been talking to them, hopefully he informed them of
everything.
Sesshoumaru backed away from the hanyou's body silently.
The two youkai hurried to the hanyou, knelt next to the battered form, then
looked him over carefully. Shaking his head, the tiger grabbed the walkie
talkie on his hip. "Larry."
"Yeah."
"Call another ambulance. The hanyou is in bad shape. I think he will live but
it is safe to be sure."
The tiger put away his walkie talkie while standing. His yellow and black eyes
reflected what little light there was left in the growing dark. "You almost
killed him. You took the law into your own hands."
Sesshoumaru sniffed indignantly. "I let him live even though he did not
deserve to breathe air after what he did to my mate. If you want to arrest me,
go ahead. I will take full responsibility for my actions concerning this
matter."
With a stern glare, the tiger stepped forward. "I will put that in my report.
Now I want your full cooperation on the details of this incident. After you
give me those details, I will allow you to go. You will be called upon again
so don't go anywhere. If you leave the state before this matter has been
resolved, there will be a warrant out for your arrest."
Sesshoumaru merely gave a slow nod. "Your warning has been noted."
---------------------------------------------------
By the time he had finished giving the tiger his details on everything that
had transpired in the last few days, he heard another car pull up, probably
the ambulance. "Can I go see my mate, Lt. Lasher?"
The tiger youkai gave a nod.
Sesshoumaru walked around the side of the house. Blue lights flashed, giving
sporadic luminance to the dark front lawn. He spotted InuYasha standing by
one of the patrol cars, the next thing he noticed while walking toward
InuYasha was the smell of Rin's blood. Unconsciously, he sped up a pace.
When he neared his half-brother, InuYasha turned to him. Out of the corner of
his eye he saw two paramedics with a stretcher running toward the side of the
house. Two more perimedics were getting out of another ambulance not too far
away. He could also sense two very powerful mikos as they pulled up behind
the two patrol cars in the driveway.
InuYasha glanced down at the bundle in his arms. "I..."
Sesshoumaru stopped right in front of InuYasha and looked at the bundle. He
could smell her blood and her weakened state. That son of a bitch had...hurt
her...very badly. Something in him snapped. What was anger before now
became something much more deadly: a pure emotion of calm rage, an emotion
for the basic purpose of vengence by finality....death. "Take care of her
for me, InuYasha. I will finish what I started. If their miko's should
kill me, I leave it to you and father to take care of her in my absense.
She is to have everything that was meant to be mine." With that final
statement, he turned, heading back to completely destroy the monster he
had let live.
-------------------------------------------------
InuYasha stared after his brother in disbelief. Sesshoumaru was going to kill
Naraku. The miko's would kill him for sure if he did that. His brother's rage
was clouding his judgement. If he died, this girl would die. They were
linked by the mark: a bond of the spirit. Sesshoumaru was not thinking
clearly. InuYasha quickly dashed to bar his way. "You can't do this,
Sesshoumaru. If you kill Naraku, the miko's will kill you. This girl needs
you. You and her are bound. If you die, she dies."
The fire that blazed in his brother's eyes flashed. Sesshoumaru snarled.
"He deserves to die!"
InuYasha backed up a step, looked his brother in the eye, then spoke firmly.
"Yes, but...she doesn't."
Sesshoumaru stared at him coldly. The two paramedics that had been waiting
patiently behind Sesshoumaru walked up to them. The human male with black hair
spoke to him. "The officer informed us the girl in your arms needs medical
attention."
Sesshoumaru still seemed like he was debating on the decision to kill Naraku.
InuYasha did not want to move out of his brother's way so he turned to the
paramedic and held the girl out. "Yes, she does. Take her." After the two
paramedics laid the blanketed girl out on a stretcher, they moved back the
mauve material and began to look her over.
The male with the dark hair grimaced. "We need to get her to the hospital."
He glanced up at him and Sesshoumaru. "Are either of you related to her?"
InuYasha shook his head. "No. But my brother here is her mate."
The paramedic looked at Sesshoumaru. "Sir, we need you to accompany us to
the hospital."
Sesshoumaru peered down at the kneeling medic. The bloody fire in his eyes
faded to be replaced with something InuYasha could have called...worry.
"Very Well."
-----------------------------------------------
InuYasha watched the ambulance with Sesshoumaru and Rin in it leave. He turned
to see the other two paramedics hurrying toward the other ambulance with a
stretcher. InuYasha stared at the laid out form on the stretcher wrapped in
a white covering of some sort. The white covering had large spots of dark red
blood that were growing larger right before his eyes. He glanced at Naraku's
head and winced. Sesshoumaru had pretty much mutilated the sucker. The sight
made him queasy.
He looked away to see Kouga's car pull up. His friend got out of his car then
slammed the door shut before rushing up to him. "What the Hell did you two
think you were doing, InuYasha!? Going off on you own was insane! Why didn't
you tell me before you went off half cocked? Do you know how much trouble you
two are...?"
InuYasha loudly cut Kouga off. "He was torturing her! You know what that bastard
has done to her! When I found her she was naked and hanging by a chain! She had
cuts and burn marks all over her body! If we had not gotten here in time,
he would have...." Trying to control his rising anger, InuYasha turned away.
Kouga let out a heavy breath before speaking in a lowered tone.
"Where is Sesshoumaru?"
"He went to the hospital with his mate in the ambulance."
"Where is the hanyou?"
"They're putting him in the other ambulance right now."
"So, Sesshoumaru went after him, huh."
"Yeah, but he didn't kill the bastard even though the sick fucker deserved
it. When Sesshoumaru saw how badly she was hurt he almost went back to
finish Naraku but I stopped him."
For a moment, Kouga was silent before speaking. "You saved your brother's life.
The miko inforcers would have purified him for going rogue."
InuYasha snorted. "I know that! That's why I stopped him. If he died, Rin would
die. She needs him at this point in their bond."
"Okay, InuYasha, I'll wrap everything up here. Go on to the hospital."
With a brief wave of his hand, InuYasha turned to leave. "See you ater."
He motioned for the little fox child who was hiding behind a large oak trunk
nearby. "Let's go, kid."
The fox kit stared up at him with big green eyes. "You mean, you want me
to come with you?"
Rolling his eyes, InuYasha snatched the kitsune off the ground before running
down the street. "Feh, Of course, squirt." . .

Bet you all thought I was dead. Heh, well, I'm not. Just had a lot of life to
deal with and this chapter was extrememly hard for me on the emotional aspect
as well as the realistic aspect of it all. I am back now and will be updating
more regularly. Sorry for the long wait.
Oh, I don't have a regular beta anymore for my stories so they might have
mistakes even though I checked.
To my reviewers: Thank you for making me smile and laugh.
