Fragments of Broken Pride

Chapter 4

Days passed and the demon lord never stirred from his coma-like sleep. Inuyasha stayed by his brother�s side almost the entire time, seemingly depressed and worried for the youkai. Kagome grew worried for the hanyou, as did the rest of the group. Sesshoumaru�s wounds were healing, slowly but surly, but he remained unconscious even as the wounds became nothing but shallow mars on his skin.

The miko entered the melancholy room and seated herself by her friend�s side. She looked at the peaceful appearing Lord of the West. She felt sorry for him. She knew he would probably dislike being pitied, but she couldn�t help her feelings. She also pitied Inuyasha. He had not been eating much, and rarely spoke with that sarcastically ridiculing voice of his. His usually perky canine ears, drooped downward in depression, and his usually rebellious, bright eyes were dull and somber.

�Inuyasha�why don�t you come out for a walk with us. It isn�t healthy to stay inside for so long, you know.� she said rubbing his shoulder comfortingly.

The hanyou barely responded as he continued to stare gravely at some unknown particle that blemished the wood floor. He was quiet for a long period before he finally lifted his head a bit, �Just let me be for now, Kagome. I�ll come out later.� he muttered halfheartedly. The miko frowned at him before she complied to his words and again left him alone with his comatose brother.

The hanyou grew weary after so many days of being by the demon lord�s side, and Kagome was finally able to persuade him into taking a nap. She sat with the demon lord for a time, watching him breath slowly and steadily for hours. She was growing a bit weary, herself, and decided to take a short walk to wake herself up. She stood and left the youkai, planning to return in a few moments after she�d gotten her blood pumping again, but as she turned to leave she didn�t notice the demon lord turn his head in his awakening, and she had left the room before he had opened his golden eyes to the bright world.

The demon lord saw that he was alone and inside somewhere. As he lifted his body from the futon the sheet fell from his nude form, revealing his almost fully healed body to the cool air. �How long have I slept� he wondered as he looked down at the ghosts of wounds on his powdery skin.

He spied an outfit folded neatly beside the futon, and he could only assume it was the one the miko had gone to buy for him while he had been attacked by Kagura. He dressed, before he readied himself to leave the room. The kimono fit nicely, and he was pleased for that. He wondered if his brother and the others had left him while he had been unconscious. He detected the nearby scent of Inuyasha and ruled out the thought of the others leaving him. He followed his brother�s scent and found the hanyou sleeping deeply in the next room his sheets wrapped around his sprawled out legs in a childish fashion. Leaving the hanyou to doze, he smelled the humans� scent as well, but it was faded and old. They must have left earlier in the day. The miko�s scent was there as well, and it still smelled fresh. There appeared to be no one there except he and his slumbering brother., so he decided to go outside and walk off the staleness of his achy muscles while he had the opportunity. Perhaps he would just disappear while he was free of the other�s eyes, just to collect his thoughts and reconstruct his devastated pride.

Kagome was making her way back to the house, but had grown nervous because some suspicious travelers has began to follow her. She had increased her pace but the four men had increased theirs as well. She continually glanced back at them with worried eyes. They were grungy and sleazy in appearance, and that didn�t relieve her fears in the least. They were gaining on her, and finally she broke into a full out run, which was rather ungraceful with the muddy streets slipping and sliding under her feet. Her breath was panicked and her eyes were frightened. She tripped and spattered mud over the lower half of herself, but got up again and continued to run as fast as she could, thinking if she only made the short distance back to Inuyasha, she would be safe. She looked over her shoulder and was horrified to see the men closer than she�d hoped them to be. They were virtually on her heels! She was almost there-just another block! Then the mud pulled her foot out from under her and threw her toppling across the ground in a painful tumble. Then she felt rough hands grab her from all directions. Their malicious laughter accompanied their panting alcohol-laced breath. Kagome let out a scream but received a harsh blow to the chest which cut her scream short in an instant. Tears formed in her eyes from the fear and pain she was in. The men were touching her and feeling her on her breasts and up her skirt. One of them licked her across the cheek as he groaned in her face, giving her an excellent whiff of his horrific breath. She thrashed and cried out as they began to drag her off into the seclusion of an ally way. �No! please! Stop it!� She cried as they continued to molest and assault her. She felt one of them pull her panties down and kicked out in self defense striking him in the groin. He yelped as he fell to the ground in pain. One of the others slapped her across the face while another secured her legs. She squirmed and wriggled crying and pleading with them to stop, but they only continued to laugh and touch her. As the one she had kicked recovered he stood up with a furious growl and punched her in the stomach. She felt is if she would throw up , but only gagged and bawled harder from the pain. She felt her underwear slip down the rest of the way and chocked back a sob as she felt teeth sink into her thigh as fingers penetrated her vagina. Her top was being lifted as a hand found one of her breast while a mouth forced itself onto her own and sucked from her like a vampire. She cried into the disgusting mouth as it licked and bit at her bruised lips.

Kagome then felt all the men being torn from her body as liquid splattered over her exposed skin. She shot upright to see what had happened and was in shock to see the demon lord flinging his bloodied talons down as the men lay sprawled around him in pieces. He slowly turned to her with his usual impassive expression hiding his true emotions from her. She held herself with her legs squeezed tightly together, as she cried miserably while she looked up into his golden depths. She had a hundred emotions running through her heart and mind, but she couldn�t decide which one to act on so she just sat and continued to cry.

The Lord of the West looked down on the violated woman wondering if had come too late. Slowly he approached her, then cautiously, offered his hand to her. She looked at the extended hand for a moment before she shakily reached up and took it. Sesshoumaru pulled her to her feet, and she desperately held onto him for balance. Her legs and body trembled as the tears continued to flow generously.

Sesshoumaru placed a hand on her back to sturdy her, feeling something of pity for the human girl. �Are you alright?� he asked calmly.

Kagome looked up into those yellow pools again, and nodded her head shakily. She didn�t feel alright, but she was, thanks to him.

�Do you want me to carry you back?� he said, asserting care of her for now.

Kagome shook her head, �No, I� can walk�thank you��she said sheepishly.

The demon lord nodded and took her arm in his and began to walk her back to the house where they�d been staying. Kagome felt embarrassed because of his odd display of kindness, but it didn�t effect her much due to her current state of distress.

The doctor had returned home while they had left, and addressed Kagome�s injuries immediately as she and the demon lord entered the door. The doctor kept reassuring her of how lucky she was that the demon lord had woken up and rescued her when he had. The miko was listening only part way as she kept wondering back to seeing the men�s bodies splattered across the ground. She was grateful Sesshoumaru had killed those mongrels like he had, but she was disturbed at the thought that she had really wanted them to die. She had never thought that way about another being before. Even Naraku, she didn�t feel that way toward. She took in a deep breath as she tried to clear her thoughts and focus back on the doctor�s words.

She was having a hard time though as the old man moved to clean the bite wound on her inner thigh. It wasn�t that she minded the doctor seeing he in such a�position, it was Sesshoumaru standing on the opposite site of the room staring at her. She was blushing intensely as she held her skirt down over her womanly parts while the doctor thoroughly cleaned and bandaged the wound. She was sitting with her legs spread-eagle, while the demon lord stood with a perfect view not six feet away. Then she stopped herself, �Wait. Sesshoumaru doesn�t think like that. He�d never even imagine sexual thoughts. He�s like� nonsexual�. besides I�m a human�� She reassured herself with that thought, but his next action threw her for a loop.

�I�m going to wake up Inuyasha, and inform him of the occurrence.� he said as he hastily exited the room with what appeared to be a blush on his cheeks.

Kagome looked as if she had just had her foot run over by a suburban. �What was that just now!? What was he- fantasizing about me?!� she sighed and bowed her head. �I don�t understand him at all�� she muttered as the doctor chuckled.

�Well at least you understand that he is good at heart.� the doctor said with a wrinkled old smile.

Kagome thought over what the doctor said and nodded to herself, �Maybe, we�re finally breaking through that iron mask of his.�

Sesshoumaru entered the room where The hanyou was sleeping and was about to wake him, but stopped. He looked down at the melancholy looking face of his brother. He wondered why the usually ridiculing face was so downhearted. He had smelled the stale scent of his brother when he had awakened earlier. It had filled the room he was in, and he now pieced together that the hanyou must have stayed with him while he was comatose. He saw the depression on the sleeping face and couldn�t help wondering why� for him? Had he spurred such grievance in his half-brother? But they weren�t close at all, and they had been enemies up until now. In such a short amount of time, had his brother had grown to love him so much? He didn�t understand. Perhaps the hanyou had retained feelings of love before all this had occurred� Perhaps� he truly was evil for causing someone who loved him such pain.

He knelt down and touched Inuyasha�s cheek tenderly. As he thought back on it. The reason for the hatred of his brother was no longer clear to him. �He is my family�the last of my family� and I will protect him.� He seated himself at his brother�s bedside, preparing himself to watch over the pup, as he had been watched over while he had slept. He would not disturb the boy� at least not yet�He looked as if he needed some rest.

�Sleep soundly, little brother. I will watch over you and your friends if ever you are unable to do so yourself.� he muttered softly to the silent body. And as the hanyou slept further, the somber cloud that hung over him lifted and gave way to tranquility.
