Chapter 17: The Ritual
A/N: Hello fellow fan fiction fans, another installment for your enjoyment! With the gang… ‘Too slow…’ Sesshoumaru thought as he rushed to the aid of his mate, unborn child and his two human pups. He could have just picked up the pace and left the rest of the pack behind. However, he may need the aid of the elder females, namely Sango and Kagome to tend to his mate and the children. Also, Inuyasha could not track the culprits by scent and since Inuyasha and even the perverted monk, which he still remembered was eye balling his mate way too closely, may prove useful in guarding the rest of the pack while he took care of their enemies. Therefore, he wasn’t entirely displeased with the pack’s company. Of course he wouldn’t tell them that…so his speed increase enough so he can reach their destination faster, but slow enough so he could be followed by scent. “Hey wait up Sesshoumaru! “ Inuyasha shouted up at his brother as he took off like a bat or rather, an inu out of hell. ‘Figures he rush ahead to get his claws on the bastards first, well you’re not going to have all of the fun.’ Inuyasha thought even though deep down he knew the older inu was concerned for the wellbeing the capture members of his pack, but Sesshoumaru being concerned for anyone was something Inuyasha mind still had trouble processing. So Inuyasha mind substituted his genuine thoughts and opted for a contest of egos. In other words who could kick the most ass and take the most names. “You secure Kagome?” Inuyasha asked wanting to make sure that Kagome had a nice tight grip before he increased his speed. “Yeah don’t worry about me, we have to get the ASAP.” Kagome said with worry lacing her every word. Kagome being the kind hearted person that she is will always put her friends’ and family needs ahead of her own. She didn’t care what happened to her as long as she got to her newest family members before it is too late. Understanding what the initials means from his trips to the future Inuyasha yelled: “Alright hang on!” He picked up the pace allowing the wind to really whip through his mane and as his nose was used as his primary guide to his brother whereabouts. Kagome buried her face behind his head and neck and hung on for dear life. Ah Un picked up speed to keep up with its Master, tracking him by his pheromones which gave of the scent of a mated Inu mixed in with his fiery yet sweet scent of vanilla and Rhododendrons flowers. ‘Please let them be alright…’ Sango prayed for Kirara and the others safety afraid that she may lose a new family members as well as old ones. Despite what transpired between them years back Rin and Sango had grown quite close. The need to save her was just as strong as her need to rescue Kohaku and Kirara. “Have faith my dear Sango, Kirara, Kohaku and Rin are strong, they will hold out long enough until we reach them.” “I hope you’re right Monk.” She said with a sigh as she leaned back a bit against said Monk. ‘I hope my statement does not prove false.’ Miroku thought as he merely pulled Sango a bit closer. He believed that their captured family was still alive. However, he knows there is a possibility of his statement being wrong. Usually, he would grope his wife’s bottom in hopes of distracting her for a while from a dire situation. However, knowing what losing Kohaku, Kirara and Rin will do to the youkai exterminator, not to mention to the rest of the gang, he knew that now was not the time to display his perverse ways. They still had a long journey ahead of them because they would have to cross water to get the Mainland in China. The good news was that they would reach the shore within the hour. Knowing that they would need Sesshoumaru to get across faster, the gang hoped that he wouldn’t get too impatient and leave without them when he reached the shore line. They could not afford to take a boat; it would be too much trouble and waste too much time. Meanwhile at the Raven’s Lair… ‘Dammit! This is all my fault! They wouldn’t be in this mess if it wasn’t for me! I have to get them to safety!’ The kaki neko thought as she struggled despite the pain of her wounds to gain freedom. She heard the commotion coming from the other side of the lair. Her eyes widen in fear, she knew that the human pups were being tortured and was terrified of the thought of those two who had been through so much pain experiencing more suffering. She knew that her pack and mate were coming for them at this very moment, she could feel it! She could also feel her baby strong aura vibrating inside her as if the child knew that they were in danger. This was the first time she felt the baby’s energy pulse so strongly. She stilled for a moment to try and calm herself and her baby down so she could think more clearly. Her instincts as a warrior, mother and a kaki neko drove her to fight to get free and rip apart anyone or anything that wanted to hurt her baby, her pack and to get revenge on the bird bitch that wanted to take her mate and child away yet again. She took her first mate and child in death, now she wanted to take her second chance at a pack in life and make the rest of her pack meet their demise. She refused to allow it without a fight! After all being a neko made her have the predisposition to be vindictive and her loyal and loving nature also made her fiercely protective. She felt she had every reason to want all those who threaten her family blood dripping from her claws. However, her maternal instincts also wanted to protect all of the pups and her younger pack members by any means. As she and the baby calmed a little she thought about her past actions in the village. She could have kicked herself for letting her rage overtake her earlier when she tried to accompany Sesshoumaru on his hunt for the bird. Now that she found her, or rather the bird found them in the den, she wished she hadn’t because of the dangerous position her entire pack is in. ‘I guess what Kagome said was true, “be careful what you wish for, you just might get it” and I got it in a way I didn’t want it.’ She thought as she mentally chaise herself for desiring vengeance so badly. Their safety comes first so escaping with them and protecting her baby is her main priority. She can always hunt down the bird and make her into prey at another time. That is, if her mate doesn’t get his hands on her first. She believed that if he did, he would mutilate the Raven so badly that there will be nothing left of her but a pile of hissing, toxic flower smelling goo. Then again Inuyasha or her other pack members may deliver the fatal blow to the feathered festering murderer, but highly unlikely since Sesshoumaru will be hell bent on protecting his packs’ honor. That, plus that fact that he can also be as vindictive as she…or worst. That she learned from his relentless hunt for Naraku after he crossed the daiyoukai one too many times and from his repeated attempts to obtain Tessaiga. That is until he found out the sword’s true purpose and discovered that his younger brother was more than worthy of the heirloom. Taking another deep breath she thought: ‘If my mate seeks revenge on my behalf, so be it. As long as every pack member is safe and accounted for. One way or the other she will not take them away from me!’ She told herself with resolve and begins her struggles anew. With her struggles the baby energy begin to pulse again, knowing that its mother was fighting for their lives. The necklace her mate had crafted for her by Totosai skilled hands , the one that contained her tertiary weapons was hidden within the flesh of her two thick tails while they took refuge in the den Inuyasha had created. Although very painful, she thought that it would come in handy as a hidden surprise in case they were captured. However, being flat on her back with her hands and feet clamped down on the disgusting table made it impossible for her to reach said weapons unless she finds a way to free herself or if her pack breaks her out. Her injuries and the distress her baby was experiencing only made matters worse. ‘Shit if I could just get one hand free…’ she thought as she tried to use her time wisely while the birds were distracted. She heard the pained caws and hoped that her mate and pack had arrived to cut the birds down. She wanted so badly for it to be her pack so they could save the human pups from there torture and rid the world of those ravens presence so they could hurt innocents no more. Part of her though felt that if they were there, her mate presence would be more powerful. She would feel a stronger sense of his aura; it would become almost tangible to her. However, she couldn’t be sure. Her keen nose did not have as strong a sense of smell as her mate or his brother for that matter. All of the different smells made it difficult for her to tell if her pack had indeed arrived as she hoped. Then she begun to contemplate of other possibilities: ‘If it is not them than maybe Kohaku and Rin have managed to put a hurting on those bastards…’ She would have smirked if she did not worry about the consequences of the human pups actions if her second hypothesis was indeed true. Then she frowned shaking her head at the thought of how she would have reacted at that moment if it was not for the apprehension she felt for the human pups and her baby. Even thinking about smirking at the expense of someone else pain is something she thought she would never do. She would have to make a mental note to not let her mate bad influences have an effect on her. If she makes it out alive that is. Several minutes passed and she heard the tale, tale footsteps of the two twins birds and the lighter footsteps of whom she knew to be Kurorasu coming her way. Her heartbeat sped up with repressed rage and fear, not for her own safety but for the pups. Her struggles became more frantic, as the perspiration from her body stung her cuts and her bruised ribs along with her dislocated shoulder protested against her movements. As if her child could sense danger approaching, its energy flared protectively as if it was trying to protect its mother. She smiled inwardly at the fieriness of the child desire to guard its mother and fight for their lives. She also find it sad that the child start doing its version of what Kagome would call ‘kicking’ in such a dreadful place, and that the child father missed its first ‘kick’. At the same time she was happy that the child seemed to be strong and healthy. If given the chance to live, she knew that the child of a Kaki neko and an Inu daiyoukai will be a force to be reckoned with! ‘I’m the one that is supposed to protect you…’ She thought as the dungeon door creaked open and the scent of raven invaded her nose. Kirara hissed at the approaching birds. “She’s a feisty one isn’t she?” The twin on the left said in a smooth deep voice as he placed a large sack by the wall near the door. “Mmmm, just the way I like them.” The twin on the right said in a slightly more gravel voice. Kirara growled as the twin on the right approached and ran his clawed fingers from her left toes, inner ankle, through the torn pants to the apex of her inner thigh, tearing the rest of her left pant leg along away and leaving four painful welts on her leg from his claws. The twin on the left merely licked his lips as he approached and begin to run his hand from her jawline, down her neck to her cleavage… “Enough of that, you’ll both have more than enough time to play with her after the ritual is complete.” Kurorasu said as she glided gracefully across the floor to the right side of Kirara. They stopped at their mistress command and smirked at each other viciously. “Bastards…” Kirara hissed giving them the dirtiest look she could muster. “Not happy to see us?” Kurorasu replied in mocking surprised tone. “What did you do to the human pups you phony, murdering, sneaky bitch!” Kirara demanded irritated with her taunting as her child energy flared more, doing flips in her womb. “My, such foul language Kitty, very un lady like.” Kurorasu chimed. “Fuck you!” She said in frustration, anger and fear. She knew that if she didn’t get free soon or if the pack didn’t get there on time, her baby would end up with the Raven as its mother and Sesshoumaru, as powerful as he is, may be forced to mate with Kurorasu due to the baby life she will hold in her talons and the black magic she practices. “Me, oh know my dear, these two will be the ones ‘fucking you’ soon enough. I, on the other hand will be making mad passionate love to my soon to be mate.” She countered with a smirk playing on her painted black lips. Kirara eyes that were already tinted red grew a shade darker and she gave a low short humorless laugh with sharp fangs showing as she said: “You know, this is the second time you have gone after my pack, something that you can never obtain on your own.” The Raven smirk slowly turned into a frowned as the neko continued: “Your nothing but a weak, pathetic, used up, low life excuse for a youkai and no matter what you do to try and steal my pack away from me…they will never belong to you. I’m more of an alpha female than you can ever hope to be.” The raven gritted her teeth and backhanded Kirara hard across her right cheek, causing the neko had to snap to the side and her right fang to cut her lip. Kirara ignored the sting of the strike and turned toward her and gave her a bored look as if the hit didn’t faze her in the least. She knew she struck a nerve in the vile woman, but on the inside she was boiling with rage. “You weren’t much of an alpha when you lost your first pack were you?!” Kurorasu said with venom of her voice. “Perhaps your right, but that was then and this is now. I dare you to cut me loose and try to strike me again without your black magic trickery, I’ll show you how much things has changed…” She said in a low dangerous tone with a hiss. Sesshoumaru seemed to be rubbing off on her more than she first thought. Either that or she has never been this angry before. Clenching her fist, livid with the neko stubbornness the Raven retorted in a cold cruel tone: “Play the tough little kitty all you want. But after I’m through torturing you, what I did to those humans will seem like nothing!” Kirara growled and said: “They have better be alive or their will be more hell to pay than you already owe.” Knowing that the neko was referring to Sesshoumaru wrath and his recent affinity towards humans she only replied cryptically: “Worry less about your puny human pets and more about your suffering. The loss of your second hatchling and my mate Sesshoumaru is only the beginning of your painful lot in your short life… So your right to be scared.” She hissed frustrated by the neko strong spirit, but happy about the fear she detected. Kirara only glowered at her masking her fear the best she could as she struggled to get free. The Raven leader only smiled cruelly at her attempts and said to twins. “Let us begin now, the transference of the child from her womb to mine will take a few days of careful work. Grabbing Kirara chin with her hand roughly she got within inches of the neko face and whispered: “Wouldn’t want your bundle of joy to be damaged in the process or should I say mine…” TBC: A/N: Hope you enjoyed reviews are adored and appreciated!While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
