Chapter: Burn Part 3

A/N: This is the last part to burn. I was going to go ahead and start the next chapter, but realized there were still a few more things I needed to cover here first. I've been dying to write since yesterday, but my mother called and wanted me to go with her and my 17 year old sister to the movies. I work such odd hours, I don't get to see them as much as I would like. So, I've had these ideas popping around in my head driving me crazy for the past day or two. Yeah I think it's absolutely hysterical, a couple of days ago, my muse was nowhere to be seen, and now she won't shut the hell up! I CURSE YOU MUSE! Ok, moving on, here is the last part to Burn. Oh, and Kag and Inu do meet in the next chapter, I promise! Oh and it absolutely has made my WEEK to see that some of my favorite authors are enjoying my story! Thanx you Lissa and MetsukiKaraTen!

Burn Part 3

~Naraku's Retreat~

Naraku moaned softly as Kagura finally brought him to his release, once she had straightened up, he looked at her, and said, "Gura, baby sister, go fetch Kohaku, make sure he brings the presents we got for the boys, darlin."
As she rose to stand and walk away, he reached up and slapped her bare ass, "Make it quick baby girl. . ."
She returned a few minutes later with a lanky, tall teenager following behind her. In his hands he carried a medium sized ornate box. It had Kanji inscribed all along the sides and top, and seemed to be made from teak or something like it.
They watched as the pair made their way across the room to Naraku. They were starting to get a little nervous, receiving a present from Naraku was hardly ever a good thing.
Once they reached him, he reached up and unhooked the latch, and opened the box. He reached in and pulled out a necklace of some sort. Banko looked closely at the pendant, and noticed that it had Kanji carved into it as well. It seemed to be made out of some kind of bone, or bleached wood.
"This my boys is a little something I had the witch Urusae make up for us. This here is made from the bones of a powerful miko. You remember that little girl and the hanyou we got rid of last year? Well, about six months ago, I had the old hag go and unearth some of the miko's bones, to be specifically made for task I'm gonna give you. Looks kinda ordinary doesn't it," he said as he held the pendant up higher so that they could get a closer look at it.
"Looks can be deceiving boys. The little baby here protects the wearer from bodily injury by any kind of miko powers, and some demon attacks as well. Whereas, this one here," he reached in and pulled out a different amulet, this one blood red. "Will make a youkai ten times more sensitive to all kinds of attacks. As you fellows know, I'm hosting a grand ball tonight, and all of our partygoers will get one of these." He said as he shook the red amulet slightly.
"What difference does that make? Well, that's the first part of my plan.
He handed one of the protection amulets to each of the gang members, and told them to put it on.

"Well, it seems that Kikyo and Inuyasha had "adopted" a younger sister , Kagome, I think her name was. She happens to be a hell of a lot more powerful than Kikyo could have ever thought about being. Sesshoumaru was going to bring her as a date to the ball. But I decided to go ahead and have you boys bring her on over to enjoy the party early. Now, once you arrive back here, she gets this one," he said pointing to yet another necklace within the box.

"It makes her fall directly into a dazed stupor, and will put her under my spell. She will have to obey whatever tell her to do. I'm so sick and tired of youkai who deny their ties with me, and I think it's time for them to learn the meaning of pain. She will become my mate, and I will use her to inflict pain on all those sorry shits who ask for my help and then deny my the recognition of my good deeds " he smirked.
"Alright boys, you know what to do, complete this for me and you boys are set for life. Fail me, and death will be something of a vacation for you once I'm done with you. . ."
~Sesshoumaru's Apartment~
He looked closer and realized it was indeed his brother lying on the floor in front of him. "Inuyasha," he murmured softly, "But how?"
He knelt down beside his brother, and said, "I thought you were supposed to be dead?"
"So did I brother, so did I." Was the reply given. "I don't think I have much time, I need father's fang. I know you would have gotten it after I died. I need it, please brother." He gasped out as he rose slowly to his feet.
"Of course, it is rightfully yours. I'll go get it out of my wallsafe, my room is the door at the end of the hall, go find yourself some clean clothes, shower if you wish, and then. . ." He trailed off as he finally got a good look at his brother's face.
"Inuyasha, you�re a full demon now. . .What the hell is going on?" he asked starting to get really confused.
"I'll tell you in a while, let me shower, and change first." He replied.
"Ok, But you have a lot of explaining to do. . ."
Sesshoumaru headed into the room that he used as a study, and started to turn the tumbler to the correct sequence of numbers to open the safe where he kept all of his valuables.

Inuyasha watched his brother move into the other room, and headed in the direction of his brother's bedroom. He opened drawers, found underwear and socks, then moved over to the closet.
When he opened the closet doors, he started to peruse the clothing his brother had and found a black pair of loose fitting jeans, when something on the top shelf caught his eye.
It was his old junk case, he pulled it down off of the shelf and opened it, and memories suddenly poured out of the case sitting in front of him.
He brushed them away, he would examine them later, when he was truly by himself.
He sorted through the trunk with one specific item in mind. After a few minutes of sorting through all the junk he had managed to save in it, he finally found what he was looking for. . . .
He pulled the longsleeved, black muscle shirt out of the case, and smiled softly as he remembered. He had been wearing this the day he met Kikyo. He was surprised when he realized he had also been wearing the day he had first met Kagome.

"Kagome. . ." He murmured, "I wonder how she is doing."
He quickly stood and gathered all of the clothes he had found, and went to the bathroom. He showered quickly, and then dressed. After raking through his tangled hair, he went out into the living room, where his brother was already waiting for him.
"Now, how did you become a full demon?" were the first words out of Sesshoumaru's mouth as he handed his younger brother the fang. Which was quickly followed by, "And how in the hell are you walking around when you're supposed to be dead?"
"That I can honestly tell you I don't have an answer for." He said as he gingerly took the necklace with their father's fang dangling from it. He grabbed the necklace by the chain, he felt somehow that if he touched the fang, something drastic would happen.
A sudden thought gripped Inuyasha, and he asked, "Do you remember that girl I used to tell you about? Kagome?"
When his brother nodded his head, he continued, "Do you happen to know how she is doing?"
"As a matter of fact, I do." He started but was cutoff by Inuyasha.
"Wait, why the hell do you smell like her? DID YOU MATE HER?" he roared the last bit, his flashing red and amber, alternating quickly between the two.
"Little Brother, calm down. I did not mate her, she works for me now, that is how I know how she has been. Besides, even though she would never admit it, there is only one person she would have ever mated. But it seems that the union was not to be. . ." He said.
"Good, you better not have mated her, she's only a child. And what do you mean, 'only one person she ever would have mated?' And 'the union was not to be'?" he asked, a little confused.
"She is child no longer, Inuyasha. She grew up a lot after the two of you died, both physically and emotionally. As to the 'one person', well, you'll just have to figure that one out by yourself. It was 'not to be', because he died, quite suddenly." He said.
"Oh, well, how has she been doing?" he asked quietly. He didn't know why. But for some reason the thought of Kagome mated to anyone other than himself bothered him greatly. But why? He loved Kikyo, didn't he?
"I'm worried about her to tell you the truth. . . .she had seemed to be doing better the last few months, until today. After the two of you died, she came to the shop and got a personalized tattoo. She was very deeply depressed, brother. She missed the two of you greatly. She started working for me only a few months after your burial. She had been with me all of two months when it all finally came to head for her one night. She tried suicide, by slitting her wrists. It was a very lucky thing, she had forgotten her wallet at the shop, and I was returning it to her, and found her. After the incident, she seemed to have purged her system of some of the sadness in her soul. But here lately, as I was saying, she seems to have taken a turn for the worse. I find her time and again crying for the loss of you."

Sesshoumaru said.
A lone teardrop slid down Inuyasha's cheek, he hated to think of Kagome in pain.
"You should go see her, Yasha," Sesshoumaru said.
"No, I can't. I can't hurt her like that. There is something I have do, Sesshoumaru. That's the only reason why I am back. Once my task is finished, I don't think I'll be allowed to stay. It would only hurt her worse to see me, only to know that I'll be gone again soon. No," he said with a vehement shake of his head," I can't put her through the pain of losing her friend again."
"Fine, but I still think you should go see her, at least give her a chance to say goodbye," he said, and started to stand, "I'm gonna get a beer, do you want one? Or can you even drink anything, since you are still technically dead?"
Inuyasha's expression was distant as he answered, "Sure, I'll take a beer."
Sesshoumaru walked to the kitchen and opened the fridge. He took out two beers, and headed back to his living room. Only to find his brother had vanished. 'Did I just imagine the whole thing?' he thought to himself. He walked over to where Inuyasha had been sitting and felt the couch. It was warm. 'I guess not' he thought.

~Back with Banko and the Boys~
A bullet was tossed into the air, and Ginkboy caught it in his mouth, and grinned, just before he picked up his shot of Jack Daniels and tossed it and the bullet back in a matter of seconds.
He smirked as he looked at Banko, "Ha Ha, see if you can top that man!"

Jangalang smiled his stupid smile, and said," That was a good one!"
This was their tradition, they started off every Devil's Night by "Shooting the Bullet".
Banko just grinned as he picked up his own bullet and rolled it around with his tongue, all the while grinning like a cheshire cat. He rolled his eyes back in his head as he stuck his tongue out one last time, and said, "Here's to Devil's Night, my new favorite holiday," before picking up his shot glass and swallowing the bullet and the liquor. He grinned again, stuck his tongue out to show no bullet, then picked up his cigar and put it out on his tongue.
A chorus of loud ooohhh's made it around the table, and Ren Ren gritted his teeth together and said, "You're outta yo freakin mind man!!'
Jangalang went to grab his own shot, for his bullet 'shooter'.
His hand was quickly slapped down by Ren Ren, who threw his own bullet in his mouth and quickly downed his own shot, and then looked at Jangalang before saying, "Pussies drink last man!" and laughing outrageously.
Jangalang jumped up from his chair to bring his gun to Ren Ren's temple, "Hey Fuck You Ren Ren!" he said.
Ren Ren quickly brought out one of his trademark knives and held it to Jangalang's throat, "It ain't even loaded man!" he said dangerously, through gritted teeth.
Ginkboy jumped up as well, and held his own gun to Ren Ren's chest, "How much you wanna bet this one is?"'
Banko grew tired of their endless bickering and decided to end it by standing up and pointing his gun at all of them, "Which one of you motorcity MOTHERFUCKERS wants to bet me that this one isn't?"'
They finally dropped their weapons and calmed down.
"Let's head out soldiers, we've got a job to do!" Banko said. As soon as they were outside, they headed to his black seventies model, T-Bird.
"Time for the battlecry boys!" he yelled as he reached the driver's side door. No one drove his baby but him.
He looked around at his cohorts, and grinned as they all simultaenously started pumping both fists in the air and shouting to the heavens,
"FIRE IT UP! FIRE IT UP! FIRE IT UP!"
After the third round, they all jumped in the car, and headed back into Edo.
~At the Western Lands Tattoo Parlor~
She was almost ready to leave. She finished the last few things she needed to do, checked to make sure that her booth was in order, and went to grab her things from the back. She picked up her skateboard, and as she reached for her coat she looked at the bulletin board, her eyes were drawn to a picture of a smiling Kagome and Inuyasha.
It was from the time they had gone to the zoo. Kikyo had made them pose for a picture in front of the flamingos. She thought back to that happier time.

*Flashback*
Inuyasha grabbed Kagome up in a bear hug, and pushed his cheek against hers as they posed for the picture. A bright light flashed, and the girls laughed as he immediately let go of Kagome in order to grab at his eyes.
"Oh, my eyes, my eyes, I don't think I'll ever be able to see again!" he cried playacting for the benefit of the females. The two broke into laughter as they watched his antics.
"Oh you, stop clowning!" Kikyo had playfully growled. Once they had their giggle fit contained, the trio headed further into the zoo.
Kikyo suddenly turned a very serious face to Inuyasha, "Inu, if anything ever happens to me, promise me you'll marry Kagome. . ."
He and Kagome turned two very astonished faces to her, "Where the hell did that come from?" he said.
"Just promise me? Please," she said. She didn't know why this had become so important to her, but for some reason it did. "And know that if you do, you will have my full blessing. Everyone needs someone to love, even you, though you would never admit it."
He held up his hands in mock defeat, "Ok! Ok! I promise! Sheesh!"
Kagome turned away as she felt her face flush. Did Kikyo know she had a small crush on Yasha?

'Ok, scratch that girl," she thought to herself, "you have a damned huge crush on the hanyou. And who wouldn't?'
She flushed a deeper shade of scarlet at her sudden thoughts. Yeah, sure she had a crush on him, but that didn't mean she'd ever act on it. She loved the both of them so much, she could never hurt either one of them. 'Besides, he'd never leave her anyway' she thought to herself, somewhat sadly. 'And he doesn't even see me in that light,' she sighed loudly and drew the attention of her two companions.
"See Kikki, now you've made the poor girl blush," he said teasing them both, "Tell her you're sorry."
"I'm sorry Kagome," she said a bit too contritely.
They all laughed, and continued on their way through the zoo.
~End Flashback~
She smiled sadly, and felt tears falling down her face, once again.
She missed them so much.
Especially Inu, they had become very close friends in the two years she knew them. She was really good friends with Kikyo as well, but for some reason, she had just felt drawn to the hanyou with warm amber eyes, and platinum silver hair.
She had eventually just chalked her schooldgirl like crush on the fact that he was the first positive male influence in her life. But it still didn't lessen the pain of his death.
She shook her head lightly in an effort to stop the tears and walked out through the front, and left the shop, making her way back home.
~On the Rooftops~
Once he had gotten far enough away from his brother's apartment, he reached in his pocket and brought out his father's fang necklace. He felt a little nervous, but knew this was something he was gonna have to do sooner or later.
He slipped the chain over his head, and as soon as it hit his skin it immediately warmed. He braced himself as he felt the first of the memories of that horrible night wash over him. . .
*Flashback*
Kikyo had just gotten back inside the window, when the door had been kicked open. Caught unawares as they were, they had no time to react as the thugs raced into the apartment, and with their demon strength, they quickly subdued the pair.
Banko walked up and got in Kikyo's face, "What you gonna do now bitch? "
He started to maul at her breasts, and silent tears made their way down her face as she was violated. "Kinda hard to purify something with your hands tied ain't it?"
He ripped her shirt open, and shredded her bra, and using his claws he started to leave bloody furrows on her breasts.
Meanwhile, Jangalang and Ren Ren were busy taking turns beating the crap out of Yasha, and all he could do was helplessly watch as his love was slowly tortured by the monster who held her down on the floor.
But something strange was going on, as he watched, he noticed the woman's face was changing. He watched in horror as Kikyo's face was slowly transforme into the face of Kagome.

*end of flashback*

I've heard there was a secret chord That David played,

and it pleased the Lord

But you don't really care for music, do you?

It goes like this The fourth, the fifth

The minor fall, the major lift

The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Silent tears made their way down his face as he was forced to relive the brutal night that their lives had been taken. Once more he was forced to watch and endure, as there was nothing he could do to save her. His body writhed with anguish as he was once more sucked into his memories.
*Flashback*
Her face was once again the face of Kikyo, and she was now completely naked on the floor and Banko was pulling his member out of his pants, not even bothering with completely disrobing.
Ren Ren was using his knife to score the skin of Inuyasha's back as he and Ginkboy held his head so that he was forced to watch his fiance` being raped in front of him.
He looked at his love on the floor and saw how the blood puddled around her form. Long gouges and scratches made their way up and down her body.
Banko positioned himself, and roughly shoved himself into her dry sheath, all the way to the hilt. He had let his beast come out to play this night, and his member was a good twelve inches long in this transformed state, and he made her take all of him in that single thrust.
*End Flashback*

Your faith was strong but you needed proof

You saw her bathing on the roof

Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you

She tied you To a kitchen chair

She broke your throne, and she cut your hair

And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah Hallelujah,

Hallelujah Hallelujah,

Hallelujah

He cried out in pain as he watched and relived that moment, the moment when he knew there would be no savior for them, there would be no reprieve. He was going to have to watch her be tortured to the point of death. His beast let out a primal roar as the scenes kept replaying in his mind.
*flashback*
He pumped roughly in and out of her, and reached his end quickly. He got up and left her on the floor, she was bleeding, badly. He had torn her terribly with his entry, and it had felt as if he had rammed her with a red hot poker.
All she could do was lay there on the floor as he got up, she felt her lifeblood flowing out of her body. As he was continually forced to watch, her face morphed back into the face of Kagome once again.
Ginkboy was next, and he too finished quickly.
Meanwhile, whatever gang members weren't raping Kikyo/Kagome, was busy beating a bloody Inuyasha. He had internal bleeding, he knew he was. He'd been kicked, punched and stabbed so many times there was no way he couldn't be.
Jangalang was the next one to violate the tortured woman laying on the floor, and as soon as he was finished, It would be Ren Ren's turn.
*End Flashback*

Maybe I have been here before I know this room,

I've walked this floor I used to live alone before I knew you

I've seen your flag on the marble arch

Love is not a victory march

It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah Hallelujah,

Hallelujah Hallelujah,

Hallelujah

He couldn't understand why her face kept flashing inbetween Kikyo and Kagome. All he knew was that the closer his visions got to the end, the faster their faces would change back and forth. But, it was Kikyo that had died that night.
*Flashback *
Jangalang got up off of his fiance`. Ren Ren quickly replaced him, and as soon as he was done, he withdrew himself, and took out one of his knives, and grinned at Inuyasha evilly.
Her face had changed from Kagome to Kikyo, and then back to Kagome, and he watched in utter horror as Ren Ren replaced his dick with his knife.
Kagome arched off the floor. He pumped in and out of her a few times before he finally stopped, and walked over to stand in front of Inuyasha.
The Banko and the rest of the boys had already tied his hands behind his back, and drew one of his knees up and tied his left foot behind his right knee. The tied a thick rope to his right ankle, and Banko smirked as he looked down on him.
He kneeled down and put his mouth to one of Inuyasha's ears as he said, "Ever seen a set of tarot cards my friend? Remember the very first card? The Fool? Seems fitting that you'll be going out looking just like it, ne? Because you, you foolish little puppy, are definitely one big dumbass fool. Did you really think that Naraku would let you go scot free? It's nothing personal really"
*End of Flashback*

There was a time You let me know What's real and going on below

But now you never show it to me, do you?

And remember when I moved in you?

The holy dark was moving too

And every breath we drew was Hallelujah Hallelujah,

Hallelujah Hallelujah,

Hallelujah

He sobbed brokenly, he had failed her, he had failed the love of his life, Kikyo. . . .Kagome,

He suddenly couldn't keep them straight in his mind anymore. . . .

He didn't know what was worse, watching as they raped Kikyo. . . .
Or watching as they raped his Kagome
*Flashback*
She was still on the floor, slowly bleeding out, as they pulled Inuyasha up to what would be a standing position if it weren't for the way he was tied.
They dragged him to the giant bay window of the loft apartment, and just before they threw him out the window, Banko held his hand out to Ren Ren.
He withdrew one of his knives and handed it to his leader. Banko gave him one last smirk, and reached over to slit Inuyasha's throat.
"Sayonara," he said as he saluted the dying hanyou, and they propelled him backwards out of the window.
He heard Kikyo's voice break through the gloom, "INUYASHA!"
*End of Flashback*

Maybe there's a god above

And all I ever learned from love

Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you

And it's not a cry you can hear at night,

It's not somebody who's seen the light

It's cold and it's a broken Hallelujah Hallelujah,
Hallelujah Hallelujah,
Hallelujah Hallelujah,
Hallelujah Hallelujah,
Hallelujah

As soon as the last of the memories faded, he could only lay there, trying to gather his wits back to himself.
Finally he was able to bring himself to stand on his shaky legs,

And he felt a sudden resolve harden in his heart,

Now he knew what his purpose was, why he came back. . . .
His eyes lit from within with the fires of justice burning slowly behind them. . .
Before he did anything else, he had to see Kagome, at least once, but then. . . .

They would pay. . . .

Every single damned one of them. . . .

He is the reaper of souls. . .

It was due time to collect. . . .
TBC
