Soulless Knight
Chapter 5: Captured
Kouga's pack, as well as Glacialis, had all woke at
first light; while they let the humans sleep a little longer, Kouga informed
his pack what his plans were.� Kouga,
Ginta and Hakkaku would travel with Glacialis, Kagome, Shippo, Miroku and Sango
to get the cure for their future alpha female.�
The rest of the pack would take Inuyasha's body back to Kaede's village,
for his burial, and wait there until he returned.� After all the details were ironed out Kouga
woke Kagome and her friends, they all then packed up camp, and left their
separate ways.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
They
had been walking through a rather dense forest for several hours, they had
taken a brief break for lunch and then continued on, in a northerly
direction.� Kagome had become tired
shortly after lunch and was now riding on Kouga's back, she had quickly fallen
asleep, with her head resting on his shoulder.�
Glacialis was leading the way, with Ginta and Hakkaku guarding their
rear.� Kirara was in full demonic form and
carrying all the supplies, as well as a sleeping Shippo, while Sango and Miroku
walked next to her.
As
it began to near dusk when they came upon a rather large clearing, Kagome woke
and began to look around groggily, that was when Sango spoke up.� �We need to find a place to camp for the
night, not all of us have the stamina of a demon.�
Just
as she said this the ground trembled slightly, Kagome got a very worried look
on her face before speaking.� �I sense a
very strong aura ahead, but it keeps fluxing.�
One minute it's there, the next it's gone.�
Glacialis
just grunted slightly as he too felt the aura, �I think I know who it is, wait
here, I'll check it out.�� With that he
spread his wings and was high in the sky before anyone could blink, and just
hovered for a moment, surveying the landscape before him.
Kagome
climbed off Kouga's back, mouthing the word 'wow', both her and Sango stared up
in wonder.� They continued to watch as he
folded his wings and dropped like a stone, towards the ground, feet first.� Kagome went wide eyed and Sango gasped as he
came within feet from the ground, crash landing imminent; but at the last
second he unfurled his wings and stopped his descent enough to land with no
sound or effort.
�Yep,
it's who I thought it was,� He sighed exasperatedly.� �They are just over the next hill; they saw
me while I was up there, so we shouldn't have any more issues.�� He grumbled something in another language and
started walking towards the hill he had indicated earlier.
The
rest of the group just exchanged glances, shrugged at one another, and followed
him.� As they crested the hill both Ginta
and Hakkaku stopped dead, mouths hanging open.�
There, at the bottom of the hill, sat the little girl they had met a
couple days ago by the spring.
She
was wearing a traditional kimono in a dark purple color, with bamboo plants embroidered
on the sleeves in silver, the obi was silver with dark purple bamboo leaves
embroidered on it.� Her dark chestnut
brown hair was pulled back in a tight ponytail atop the back of her head, her
eyes still sparkling as she gave them all the same patient smile as back at the
stream.
Ginta
and Hakkaku shook themselves out of it and hurried to catch up with their
comrades, who had quickly left them behind.�
�Hey guys, wait up.�� Ginta
yelled.
The
little girl stood as they approached, a green winged drakon at her side.� The new drakon said nothing, he simply bowed
low at the waist as Glacialis approached; right hand in a fist over his heart,
wings extended fully and lifted slightly over his head.
Glacialis
walked up to them and nodded to the other drakon, he then turned his attention
to the little girl and bowed slightly.� �Dia
Duit, Rei-an?�
�Kajitsu,
Glacialis-Ojisan.�� She said as she
bowed, �I am so glad we found you, Okaasan wishes me to deliver you a message
of the utmost importance.�
Kagome
knew it was rude of her, but she couldn't help but stare at the little girl
before her... was she glowing?� There was
also something off about her speech, but she couldn't quite put her finger on
it.
�Found?�� Glacialis quirked a brow at the little girl,
�I really don't think that was a problem, you seem to have a knack for knowing
when and where people will be.� Now what
does your Okaasan wish for me to know, Rei-an?�
Rei-an's
smile got even bigger, if that was at all possible, �Okaasan found one and
would like you to come with us to retrieve her!�
Glacialis'
eyes grew wide, �But I thought...�� His
voice trailed off as he seemed to try and comprehend the message; finally he
shook his head and spoke again.� �Is she
safe?�
Rei-an
nodded quiet vigorously, �Yep, she's being guarded by the eldest son of her
parents greatest ally.� He's an Inu lord
by the name of...�� She stopped for a
moment, seeming to think, �Drat, what did Okaasan say that name was?!�� She huffed slightly and fidgeted as she tried
to remember.
Kagome
had been listening intently to the whole conversation and decided to help the
little girl out, �Gomen, I don't mean to interrupt; but are you speaking of
Sesshoumaru, the Inu lord of the West?��
All heads turned towards Kagome and she smiled slightly as a small blush
crept up to her cheeks.
�Hai,
that's him, arigato.�� Rei-an bowed to
Kagome as her big bright smile returned, �Have you met him before?�
Kagome
chuckled nervously, �Hai, you could say that; he tried to kill me the first
time we met.�� She muttered the last
part, positive that her information really wasn't helping the situation any.
Glacialis
groaned, �Great, that sounds like it'll be a wonderful encounter.�
�He
did help us out in the final battle against Naraku, Youbo.�� Shippo piped in, �Maybe he's not all that bad
anymore.�
� Glacialis looked back at Rei-an, �Can you
take me there?� We'll leave tonight so I
can be back by first light, hopefully.�
Rei-an
nodded, �Yep, no problem.�
He
smiled at her then surveyed the area they were in, �This should be as good a
place as any to set up camp; what do you think?�� He glanced at Kouga and waited for his
answer.
Kouga
did a quick scan of the area for any malicious auras, once satisfied that there
were none, he nodded to Glacialis.�
�Ginta, Hakkaku, go collect some wood for a fire while the rest of us
set up camp.�
once
camp was set up, and a fire blazing to cook their dinner; Glacialis flew off
with Rei-an tucked safely in his arms, the other drakon hot on his heels.

As
they set up camp, no one noticed the eyes watching them from high up in a tree
near the edge of the forest.� General
Takashi had made sure he was down wind, the chain around his neck squashed his
aura to almost nothing, his army waiting far enough away to avoid
detection.� He really couldn't believe
how easy this was, he could have slit the ookami prince's throat and no one
would have noticed; these people were really dense.
He
had to bite back a laugh as he watched the two drakon fly away with the little
girl; Kami must be smiling on him today, he just couldn't believe his luck, the
only way this could get any easier would be if that fool of a girl decided to
take a walk or something.� He knew that
wouldn't be happening though, he could smell the poison in her blood from where
he sat, that cobra youkai had at least done one thing right.� The poison would inhibit her miko powers
some, and it would make his job that much easier.
As
soon as the sun set he silently dropped from his tree top vigil and made for
his troops; as he neared the perimeter of were his troops were camped, he
noticed the sentinel passed out at the base of a tree, snoozing peacefully.
He
started to growl low in his throat, but then stopped when a rather devious idea
came to him.� He had learned a new trick
the last time he visited the monk in his old village, now was as good a time as
any to try it out.� He pulled a small
black round object out of the pouch on his belt, it almost looked like one of
those rolly polly beetles that curl into a ball when threatened; he whispered
something to it and put it on the ground at his feet.� Upon letting go off it, the small object
immediately uncoiled itself; it was a black Japanese scorpion.� It then crawled across the ground and up onto
the shoulder of the sleeping solder, it hissed and clicked slightly.
The
solder woke abruptly to the noise in his ear, slowly turning his head to stare
straight at the scorpion, the fear evident in his eyes.� He did not speak or move, for fear of
provoking it to strike, then he saw General Takashi standing off to his
left.� The general walked over and
squatted near the solder's feet, �I know your new, so let me explain how things
work, and listen well for I shall only say this once.� This is the only warning your getting, and
you wouldn't even get this one if I didn't need all my men right now.�� Takashi then held out his hand and let the
scorpion walk back into it, watching as it curled back into a ball, he then put
it back in his pouch, standing as he did so.�
�Fall asleep while on duty again, I'll let it kill you; do I make myself
clear?�
The
solder scrambled to his feet and bowed, �C-crystal, General.�� He stammered out, fear still lacing his
voice.
Takashi
walked into camp and rounded up his men, and the 50 bat youkai Sielu sent with
him. �Once all were present and paying
attention, he voiced his plan.� �We have
3 Ookami, a Monk, a female Taijiya, a Miko, a young Kitsune and a fire Neko to
deal with.� The Miko must be captured
alive, and the jewel she carries, the Sorceress cares not what happens to the
others.� The Miko is weakened right now,
but her friends are all highly trained, do not take them for granted.�
He
waited a moment to make sure his words had sunk in, then continued.� �Now then, we are going to attempt a stealth
raid, in a sense.� I will take half the
men around the clearing, the other half will stay on this side with Captain
Kuroshiro, I wish to surround them.� Once
that has been accomplished, the Bat youkai will take to the sky and come at
them from above, can you handle that?�
He
stared straight at the leader of the bat youkai, who chuckled evilly and
nodded.
Takashi
waited in silence; for what, no one was really sure, but all knew better then
to interrupt him.� After a few moments of
looking his men over, he spoke again.� �let
me reiterate, just to be sure all are clear on this; the girl is not to be
harmed.� I will personally deal with
anyone who so much as allows a scratch to appear on her, got it.�� All though it was more of a statement then a
question, all the solders nodded once.�
�Good, then let�s be on our way.�
He
separated his troops in half, then quickly left with his half for the other
side of the clearing.

Kagome
awoke abruptly, a shiver of foreboding running down her spine.� She scanned the camp site to see if she could
spot the problem, but all she saw was a dying fire and all her friends sleeping
soundly.� She had been nestled snugly in
Kouga's lap, she turned to look at his sleeping face, nestling her head back on
his shoulder.� Kami, he was rather
handsome up close, why had she never realized it before?
She
couldn't help but be drawn to him, she always had been, but Inuyasha had always
got in the way.� She wished she could
have him right here and now, but she would be to shy with all her friends
nearby, and...� Wait, what was she
thinking, this was so not like her.� She
shook her head slightly, then just contented herself with watching him sleep
for a while.
Kouga
had woken when she first stirred, he had smelled fear on her, like when you
first wake from a bad dream.�� He
feigned sleep, waiting to see what she would do, and gave a mental sigh of
relief when she laid her head back down.�
He could feel her eyes on him, but fought the smirk that wanted to
appear on his face; then she shook her head slightly and he smelled it, she was
aroused.
He
couldn't help but smirk at this, he heard her gasp and slowly opened his eyes a
bit, looking down at her.� �You are
making it rather difficult to sleep, Koi.��
His smile got bigger as he saw her blush, he cupped her check with his
hand.
�I'm
sorry, I just couldn't sleep.�� She
responded quietly, blushing even more, while placing her hand over his.
Kouga
chuckled slightly; he then leaned over and nuzzled her neck, making a slight
purring noise.� He felt her almost melt
in his lap, he then lowered his hand from her cheek and placed it on her upper
thigh.� �I wasn't talking about the one
sided staring contest,�� He said in her
ear, and then gently squeezed her thigh.�
As he did so, he was almost overpowered by the scent of her arousal that
hit him, full force and upside the head.
He
inhaled deeply and noticed a tangy smell to her arousal, he mentally cursed and
was unable to hold back the groan, she was in heat.� He lifted his head and rested his forehead
against hers, looking her in the eyes, those deep blue eyes that had succeeded
in trapping his soul so many years ago and they were now glazed over with a
lust that mirrored his own.
She
reached up and ran a finger down his cheek, barely touching the skin, succeeding
in sending a noticeable shiver down his spine.�
Once she reached his jaw line, she traced it back to the base of his
skull, then applied a mild amount of pressure, urging him forward.
He
needed no further invitation; he promptly lowered his head the rest of the way
and captured her mouth, running his tong across her bottom lip for
entrance.� Upon hearing her gasp, he
delved his tong into her warm mouth, exploring every inch he could reach.� He almost became unglued when he heard her
moan, her tong joining his in an age old dance.
He
pulled back after a moment to allow them both to breath, he watched her now
flush face as they both panted, his line of vision trailing down ward to her
breast.� He felt his manhood throb as he
watched her chest heave with every breath; Kami, everything about her was
beautiful.
Just
as he was about to attack her mouth again, the wind shifted.� His sensitive demon nose was assaulted by the
stench of human solders, and bat demons; he looked around and scanned the area,
but sensed no auras.� The smells were
coming from all around them, they were surrounded, �Kuso!�� He snarled, mad at his own carelessness.
Kagome
became worried at his sudden change in expression; he gently shifted her off
his lap and stood, flexing his claws.�
�What's wrong Kouga?� but she didn't have to wait long for an answer.
The
sky suddenly grew dark, and when they both looked up, they saw an entire
contingent of bat youkai take to the skies.�
Kouga growled low in his throat and spun around, intent on waking the
rest of the camp.� Before he could do so,
the lead bat youkai let off a high pitched war cry like screech.
The
assault on his sensitive ears caused Kouga to drop to his knees with a roar of
pain, clasping his now bleeding ears.�
The other 4 demons in camp sat bolt upright with roars of their own,
Shippo crying, all holding their equally bleeding ears.� The 2 remaining humans woke with this
commotion, looking to the sky as the screeching stopped.
�Shippo!�� Kagome cried, as she saw the blood run down
the side of his face, and the tears running down his cheeks.� She turned to snatch up her bow and arrows,
only to see the solders now surrounding their camp, all with swords drawn.� She gasped and stepped back, she was cut off
from her only means of self defense.
Kouga
had a ringing in his ears, they throbbed from the sudden onslaught of sub-sonic
sound that had also accompanied that war cry, but he could still smell when
Kagome's scent suddenly spiked with fear.�
He turned his head and growled at the sight of the men now surrounding
them, he forced himself to his feet, albeit wobbly.� He then lunged at the line of solders closest
to Kagome, snarling, with claws at the ready.
He
never made it to the human scum though, when he was only feet from them, he was
suddenly set on from above by no less than 6 bat youkai.� He managed to dispatch two of them, before
the rest had him pinned to the ground face first, claws digging into his wrists
and ankles.� One of them sat atop him, pinning
him at his neck, making it impossible to move any part of his body.
Kagome
looked around and realized she was the only one left standing, even poor Shippo
was pinned by one of the solders, pushing his foot to the kitsune's chest.� She spun back around at the sound of a deep
evil chuckle, only to come face to face with a black armored samurai, katana
leisurely resting point up on his shoulder.
Behind
her, she vaguely heard the furious sound of Kouga struggling to free
himself.� However, she could no more turn
away from the man's gaze before her as she would have been able to had she been
faced with Sesshoumaru.� He grinned.
�You'll
be coming with us, miko-sama,� he said mockingly, single eye watching her
unblinkingly.� �Or we'll kill your
kit.�� To her left, the human holding
down Shippo shifted his foot and pressed enough weight on the child to force a
pained cry from his throat.�
�Understand?�
One
of the demons holding Kouga cried out, but was quickly replaced by two
more.� Kagome swallowed, looking at
Shippo.� Her shoulders slumped, and she
knew there was only one choice for her to make.�
�Okay,� she whispered, biting her lip to hold back the tears.� �Don't hurt him.� Please.�
The
samurai bowed regally, but the smirk on his face told her it was mocking.� �Of course,� he agreed, one hand idly
reaching up to scratch under the edge of a smooth brown eye-patch, revealing
the edge of a horrible scar.� �After the
lady,� he added, motioning for her to precede him toward a particularly large,
black bat.� As they walked away, she
could feel Kouga's eyes on her back.
Maybe
Kouga would be happy to know that later, she would cry.

A/N:� Wow that took longer than I thought.� Cringes at the time spent on this chapter.� Please R&R, thank you.� Bows.
My
little sister helped with the ending, she wrote the last 5 paragraphs, because
my loner muse committed seppuku and I couldn't figure out how to end it.� Grins sheepishly and chuckles nervously.
Any
who, I have a new beta now, so things should go a little smoother.� Here are the definitions I promised.
Dia
Duit
= A formal way of saying 'Hello' or 'How do you do' in Gaelic.� It can also be said as:�� go mbeanna� Dia duit = Pleased to
meet you!
