My One and Only

Chapter 2: The Perfect Kill Part 1

“LET ME OUT OF THIS HELL-HOLE!”

Inu no Taisho tried to calm his raging mate as her bout of mania continued. They were happening more frequently now and with her pregnancy fully showing, he feared that she would hurt his pup at the rate she was going.

She stomped around the cell tossing hay and bones at the walls and at him. A few times she tried to physically attack him in which he tried his best to restrain her without causing any damage.

It was tough, she was a strong female, but he managed. It had been sixty sunsets, possibly only three more until his pup was born and he wanted no more problems out of her. He wanted her calm, the pup she was caring was strong, he could tell, but also delicate, he could hear by its heart beat.

“I SAID LET ME OUT! I HATE THIS FUCKING PLACE!”

He watched as she now banged against the doors, bruises forming on her small hands. He rushed over to her, pulling her away from the door and into his arms, trying to calm her.

“LET GO OF ME!”

She continued to fight against him, kicking at his legs and scratching at his face. His eyes widened as he got a smell of her scent, she was going into labor.

To make sure, he pressed his cheek to hers, he felt as her temperature began to drop rapidly and her breathing became more raged.

“LET GO!”

She pushed him away, sending Inu no Taisho stumbling only a few inches while her small body landed against the wall. She tried to steady herself with one hand against the wall as the other rubbed heavily on her stomach trying to lessen the pain.

“Argh...”

He watched as her pretty face contorted into pain, her contractions were beginning.

He ran over to her, steadying her as she retched on the floor, before dropping to her knees.

Her whimpers followed the beat of each contraction. He pulled her into his body and lay against the cell wall with her form positioned between his legs.

She continued to try and scream obscenities at him but her body gave in to the draining energy of her pup.

However, her screams of pain began to grow louder, louder then they should be when it came to measuring the level of pain she was suppose to feel, something was wrong.

As if hearing his thoughts, the door to his cell flew open as a group of guards rushed in. They surrounded him and his mate.

He knew they were only there to take her to a healer so she could have a successful birth, after all this pup, formed by two of their strongest youkai, would help in benefitting the royal court, but no, his female was in pain and he did not know why. She could not leave just yet.

One of the guards leaned in and attempted to grab her away from him, but soon backed away when he heard the low growl coming from Inu no Taisho along with the bearing of his sharp teeth.

“Will someone please explain to this asshole that we’re trying to help the bitch.”

A calmer, perhaps more understanding of the group stepped forward and attempted to talk to the inu youkai in a leveled tone.

“Come on, big guy. She’s obviously in pain, we need to get her to a healer. The baby will come any second now.”

The guard leaned his hand forward to at least try and feel the pregnant youkai’s forehead, but snatched it away with a frown as Inu no Taisho’s teeth snapped at him.

Noting the loud screams of the female in his arms, the guard gave up on trying to compromise, knowing that the pup would be born sooner than he thought

“Alright, bring in the sedative. He’s not going to let us anywhere near her, at least not while he’s awake.”

Two of the guards rushed out only to return minutes later with a large poison thorn present. The other held an arrow shooter.

“Will you two hurry up, the contractions have become constant.”

“Calm down, I need a clear aim, I’m trying not to hit the bitch.”

The guard stuck the thin poison needle into the arrow shooter as he brought it to his lips. One of the other guards played as a distraction moving in towards the growling youkai and his screaming mate while the shooter moved to take an aim at Inu no Taisho’s neck.

Making a clean shot, Inu no Taisho grunted as the needle stabbed into his neck. He continued to growl threateningly as his vision blurred. All of the guards dare not approached until the angry youkai’s head slumped to his chest, a sign of the working sedative.

The calm guard moved in and grabbed the young female, noting how Inu no Taisho still continued to growl in his sleep.

He pulled her up to her feet, speaking softly to her.

“Now just relax, we’ll get you to a healer as soon as possible.”

However, he was greeted with a punch to the gut.

“GET YOUR FUCKING HANDS OFF OF ME! YOU FUCKING MONSTERS!”

All at once, the guards attempted to calm the raging inu, knowing what type of damage she could cause.

“Should we sedate her too?”

“No you idiot, she’s already in labor if we sedate her then it’ll be impossible to get the baby out.”

“Then what the hell should we do, the bitch is crazy!”

“Just drag her out, we have no other choice.”

Four guards grabbed onto the female, one grabbing each of her limbs as they lifted and carried the out of control inu out of the cell, to a healer.

Inu no Taisho stirred uncomfortably in his sleep as her screams disappeared down the hallway, not knowing that this would be the last he would ever see or hear from his mate.

TBC...

Ok this is only Part one. After rereading this chapter I realized that it would have to be put into two parts because I did not see a good way of combining them both into one complete chapter.

Review Please...
