Gore of a sexual nature and gore in general. Implied attempted rape. There's nothing much there, at least nothing traumatizing, because I don't like N/C situations. Also, this hasn't been edited, at all. 12 pages.

Chapter 7 - What the Hell Happened
I paced as I waited for beast to calm himself enough to continue. I knew that what came next was painful for him. I had half my eye on my mate, I was worried he was still out of it and would do something stupid if left to himself. But he just sat, regally, under one of the trees that occupied the entry plane. He didn't acknowledge my hovering but in a way he did, since he avoided looking at me at all costs.
Damn it, I still REALLY wanted him.
'Oh shit.' My eyes widened as I stared at nothing. 'OH SHIT!' I tried not to think the thought but... 'I was totally about to mate my brother.' I swallowed nervously. 'Not fuck. MATE.' I shook my head trying to go into denial.
^'Yeah, you should totally thank me.'^
'Aw, fuck.' I ran my hands through my hair. 'Can Sesshomaru...' I trailed off looking at him. I knew he could hear my thoughts when he was in the box. 'But can he hear them now?'
^'Biased on that blush I think the answer's yes.'^
I groaned. I had no idea how to actually perform the mate bond but I had a feeling it was instinctual.
Thankfully Beast took plunged into a memory rather than taking the opportunity to educate me.
-.
He was scared. It was his job to protect and now he'd gone and put his entire pack in danger. He knew his mate had felt the call though. He allowed himself a small amount of relief at that fact.
-.
~/Guilt. Shame. Sadness./~ Sesshomaru turned his head so I couldn't see his face.
He didn't feel self-destructive so I didn't pry into his mind. I wasn't sure I wanted to hear his thoughts anyway.
-.
Beast coughed up several mouthfuls of blood. 'Shit, need to get blood under control if to hold off.' He realized he was getting fuzzy. He didn't want to lose control, it was hard to breathe and without his sense of smell he might hurt someone important to us.
When his vision started to go he had no choice.
He jammed two fingers into his collapsed lung and spread them in order to drain the blood. He couldn't remember anything else from the medical book that would be helpful.
It was enough.
He was able to focus again, just in time to hear the plan. The villagers were going to light the hut on fire and then hunt down the evil yokai. The other yokai had said I was still there. Wanting to but unable to protect the girl.
'If they burn down the hut they'll kill the pup!' He chanced poking his head out. 'They're too close, and I don't see anyone from my pack.' Which was a mixed blessing. If they were there they maybe could stop the assault, if they weren't they wouldn't get hurt.
He couldn't afford to wait. He tore a chunk of flesh out so he wouldn't have to keep his fingers in his chest-
-.
~/Nausea. Pain./~ "Nnnngh."
My eyes flashed to my brother. I was briefly concerned he was hurting himself. But, no. 'It looks like he's going to be sick.' "Oi, asshole! Don't puke in my brain!"
I smirked when he glared at me. He no longer felt sick. As sick.
-.
-the bleeding would kill him faster now, but at least he wouldn't have to do everything one handed.
He leapt off the roof and jumped through the hut's window. The landing inside the hut was sloppy. He'd underestimated how long it'd take him to bleed out.
He'd have to change his plan.
Beast located the Fire Rat and wrapped Rin up in it. Making sure every part of her was covered. Then, he looked for Tessaiga.
He could hear the villagers surrounding the hut. He snarled loudly to make sure none would enter.
"Hey, stop! Don't do that! I'm telling you! Lemme through! HEY!" Shippo's voice rang through the crowed.
Beast's eyes widened and he turned to the door in horror.
"Ow! STOP! No, I won't let you! Hey! OW!"
A whimper escaped beast's throat. He shook it off. 'I need the fang...'
"NOO!"
A scream.
"Ugh!" Shippo's grunt of pain was accented by the tang of blood in the air.
-.
My heart stopped.
-.
"DAD! THEY'RE GOING TO-" More blood, both ningen and Shippo's. "-AHHRGH! NOOOOO! I WON'T LET YOU HURT MY-" A canine yelp echoed off the mountainside.
-.
I didn't realize I was on the ground until I was pulled into a warm chest.
"Breathe." Sesshomaru commanded.
-.
Beast snapped. He loosed a guttural roar that shook the very ground. He stuck his claws back into his self inflicted wound and loosed an attack as soon as he exited the hut.
The blades of blood were dissipated greatly by the shields the holy people had erected in front of the attacking force. But those that were in the path were still cut deeply. Several fell.
Arrows, some flaming, rained down and without my armor several sunk deep into our body. Beast only bothered to dodge the holy ones. He knew he wasn't going to make it out alive. He shoved his claws back into the wound for more blood.
"You hurt my pup and my kit. Stop threatening my family and I'll let you live." He cracked his knuckles threateningly.
But, the ningen seemed to know it was an empty gesture. He didn't have the yokai left to launch another attack. "Ready?" Someone called out and the archers prepared another volley.
"NOOO!" Another child's voice rang through the day.
"Fire!" And that volley was loosed.
Beast stared at the incoming arrows. He couldn't dodge all the holy ones this time. He raised his left arm to shield his face and twisted his body.
Holy energy burnt a hole in his arm and his leg. More normal arrows were lodged in various parts of his body. We both winced as we felt the pain of one ripping our ear. He absorbed a small amount of reiki from the attack and used it to stop the worst of the bleeding.
-.
My eyes widened. 'We can absorb energy?'
^'Not enough for taking a hit to be worth it.'^ Beast muttered sadly.
I understood what he meant. In order to stop the bleeding of his chest wound the arrows had done a lot more damage than they should have. His arm and leg were basically useless now.
-.
Beast's sense of smell was rendered useless as the smoke from the burning hut behind him thickened.
He coughed up what he hoped was the last mouthful of blood and held it in his mouth. He didn't have the energy to do the blades of blood but he could infuse the mouthful with the same energy and spit the denser weapon at the closest enemy.
His eyes caught movement and he focused on something unbelievable.
Shiori, the little bat hanyou had a barrier up and was protecting Shippo with everything she had.
'Damn it! Now she's in danger too!' Although he was very glad someone was protecting his kit since he couldn't.
Some idiot decided that I was weak enough he could approach. We killed him with that mouthful and it became harder to stand.
The ringing of the alarms was giving beast a headache. Even if he only had one ear that wasn't full of blood. He was tempted to shake out the offensive liquid but didn't think he'd be able to stay upright if he did. 'Why the fuck are those still ringing, isn't everyone already here?!'
My- our question was answered by a massive explosion at the front gate.
Screaming.
The angry mob became a distracted panicked mob as another explosion threw shreds of the nearest building in all directions.
Beast hesitated for a full second.
'If I go back for the pup... But the kit... The pup has armor.' He prayed that would be enough and he started hobbling to the kit and his protector. He couldn't allow the chance for two to get injured. Even if one wasn't pack. We'd protected her in the past. It was close enough.
-.
'Plus she doesn't deserve to die for protecting what I'm supposed to.'
^'Yeah, yeah. That too.'^
I could feel Sesshomaru roll his eyes. I poked him in the rib. Hard.
~/Pain. Irritation./~ He wisely kept his mouth shut. But he rolled his eyes again.
-.
Beast approached the pair.
"Stay back! I won't let you hurt him!" Shiori warned.
"It's me, you don't remember? With the sword?" Beast was cursing his inability to use names.
She was wary and didn't drop her shield.
Beast could tell she was getting tired. Apparently it was difficult to maintain the shield without the gem. "C'mon. I hav'ta save him and the pup in the burning building. Then we need ta get the fuck outta here."
She stared at Beast for a long second before dropping her shield.
Beast scooped up Shippo and stuck him in his haori. "Wait by the door." He ordered the girl as he ducked inside the hut. 'Fuck! The smoke is killer!' /Concern./ 'The pup's been breathing this in...'
He grabbed the pup and set her outside the hut. "Protect her. The haori will protect her from human weapons." He went back in for the Tessaiga.
'Fuck, fuck, fuck. Where the fuck is it?'
"Inuyasha!" Shiori called.
He heard the pup coughing. 'Good, she's breathing. Still need to find the fucking fang.' He coughed. The fire was burning him and the smoke was too thick to see the hand at the end of his arm.
"She says she has the Tessaiga!"
'Thank you.' He said to the kami and got out of the hut as fast as he could.
"C'mon!" He grabbed Rin and threw her over his shoulder and took the hanyou's hand. His eyes were watering and it was hard for him to see. He coughed violently but kept moving.
He hid deep inside Midoriko's cave. Set Rin down gently. And fell onto his back so as not to hurt Shippo.
"Inuyasha!" Shori cried.
'Damn, it's like being with the bitch all over again. Inuyasha, Inuyasha, Inuyasha. Fucking annoying.'
-.
I laughed. It was true. I was just as bad though.
Then I felt bad. Worse than bad. I missed her. I felt guilty.
Sesshomaru pulled me back into him and rested his head on mine.
I nuzzled into his neck. Refused to think about why I shouldn't be doing this and just accepted the small token of comfort.
-.
"'M fin' 'nough." The adrenaline had run out. Beast had little yokai and no reiki left. 'Need sleep. Conserve...'
-.
^'Then I passed out. I don't know for how long. The pups' screams woke me up.'^
-.
The first thing I noticed was there was a spear through my stomach pinning me to the ground. 'Damn it! Why the fucking stomach?! Every fucking time!!'
"Get away from me! DON'T TOUCH ME!" Rin shrieked.
We smelt ningen men. They were aroused.
-.
My brother let out a terrifying growl. ~/Rage./~
I felt the same amount of murderous anger but mine was tinged with guilt.
~^'Calm down and let me talk. Think. Show you what happened. Whatever.'^~
-.
Beast tried to sit up to protect her but the spear prevented the action. 'DAMN IT! I'm so fucking weak!' He broke the spear off and stood up.
Rin took the opportunity Beast's distraction caused to stab the man holding her in the heart. She twisted the knife and he dropped like a rock, ripping the dagger from her hand and her kimono from her shoulder.
The other literally shit himself in fear. Beast's growls were the things of nightmares. I could only imagine his face.
"You DARE touch MY pup?!" He barked.
Before the ningen could answer Beast severed his manhood from him and shoved it in his screaming mouth. He watched with malicious glee as the man choked and bled to death.
-.
Sesshomaru took some satisfaction from the fact that both men were dead. He just wished they would have suffered longer.
I could practically hear the torturous suggestions running through his head. I had a few of my own.
-.
Beast gathered Rin into his arms and held her tight, rubbing her back and pulling her kimono back up over her shoulder. "You ok, Pup?" We could smell the salt of her tears and she was trembling.
~'I'm fine, Beast. Thank you for saving me.'~ She let out a shuddering breath. ~'I'll check on Shiori.'~ She pulled back, eyes wide. "SHIPPO!" She shouted.
We winced at the sudden exclamation and our ears flattened to our head.
~"You have to go save him! He woke up and gave you all his yokai. He was sleeping to replenish when the men came. A woman took him, we have to find him!"~
Beast growled. ~'Show me!'~
Rin showed Beast her memory.
-.
She'd spent too much reiki healing us and was resting. The kit was already asleep. The hanyou was keeping watch but she too was spent. She kept nodding off. Every once in a while a snore would wake our pup and she'd snap at the hanyou from her spot cuddled at my side. She'd also lift her head to check on the kit who was cuddled at the side nearest the cave entrance.
The pup woke to an evil high pitched laugh.
"Found them!" The yokai had black hair and three green stripes across her cheeks. She had a black mokomoko wrapped around her shoulders. Her skin was bone white and there was something distinctly feline about her.
-.
Sesshomau growled at the sight of her.
I shushed him, I knew we were nearing the end of Beast's tale.
-.
The pup let out a (very non-threatening ningen sounding) growl.
The hanyou leapt into action. She attacked the yokai onna but was smacked into the side of the cave so viciously the wall cracked around her form.
"Shiori-chan!" The pup cried.
The pup glared at the yokai and stood in front of the still unconscious kit and us. "Who are you? What do you want?"
The yokai looked down at the pup. "You're Sesshomaru's ward, yes?"
She didn't miss the fact that the yokai didn't add the honorific. She considered her answer for a second. The pup jerked her head up and held it proudly, looking the onna straight in the eye. "That's right. And you are?"
The yokai turned to the ningen men peering around her. "You can have her. Make sure she suffers but she lives."
The men rubbed their hands together greedily and one of them licked his lips.
The pup gulped. She didn't have the reiki left to thwart both of them at the same time. 'I can't stop them and no one knows where we are. Oh, Kami-sama. Maybe if I keep screaming Inuyasha will wake up. Or Shippo-kun. Hell, even Shiori-chan would help.'
She put on her bravest face. "You wouldn't DARE touch me. Sesshomaru-sama will know and he'll kill you slowly and painfully. Very painfully." She glared with her last threat.
The onna laughed the annoying laugh again and none of those who were unconscious stirred. "I don't think so little one. As we speak he's fending off an army. They'll wear him out and I'll arrive just in time to describe what happened to you. I think I'll take this kit as proof." She yanked the kit up by the tail and still he slept.
"NO!" The pup screamed, praying that her shrill shriek would wake someone, anyone. She crawled over my body to try to snatch the kit away.
The yokai hung the kit out of the pup's reach and laughed again.
-.
I was so angry at her and mostly myself I was shaking. 'This is ALL my fault! If I'd been there no one would have been low on energy. I could have protected them. I SHOULD have been there!'
Sesshomaru wiped tears that had yet to fall from my eyes. I swatted his hand away, pushed away from him and ordered Beast to continue.
-.
The yokai shoved the pup out of the way and she couldn't help the cry of pain when she hit the cave wall opposite the hanyou. "Oh, who do we have here?"
She peered into my face and leapt back, hissing like a cat.
"Inuyasha!" She snarled. She grabbed the nearest ningen's spear and shoved it though my stomach with her free hand.
A cat like yowl rang through the fading light.
The yokai's head snapped up. "I'll be back! Do what you wish."
The pup winced as she heard the kit's tail snap at the speed the yokai left.
-.
"Well? What are you waiting for?! Go find her and get Shippo-kun back!!" Rin finished.
She didn't need to tell us twice. Beast shot out of the cave like a bullet. He didn't bother to heal the hole in his stomach. He had felt the yokai onna's power and he knew he'd need that energy for the fight that was sure to ensue.
We followed the kit's scent into the middle of the village.
The cunt (she didn't deserve to be called a bitch) was standing over a fallen neko-yokai and was bleeding profusely.
'This is going to be easy.' She was out of yokai and was close to collapsing.
Beast let out a guttural roar so terrifying everyone who heard it stopped their fights and turned to the source.
The offending yokai didn't even get a chance to scream before her head was parted from her shoulders. Beast cut her into a mush with his claws, occasionally throwing the odd bone or spine over his shoulder, when he felt finished he stepped on her head. Relishing the feeling between his toes. The scene caused many of the invading force to retreat.
Beast was having none of it.
None of the invading yokai survived.
Beast was about to turn on the villagers who had hurt his pup but Miroku pulled him out of his homicidal rage.
"INUYASHA, BEAST! Your master wouldn't want these people killed." He initiated a link.
-.
I disagreed yet agreed at the same time. They needed to be punished at least. 'Preferably painfully. Like a maiming. They would have trouble attacking people with a limb missing.'
-.
Beast was thinking along the same lines and denied the link.
"Beast! Have you seen Rin-sama or Shippo-kun?" Sango called.
'The kit!' Beast snapped out of his rage.
"The pup is in the cave with the komori-hanyou, go check on them!" He ordered them both.
He started sniffing frantically for the kit.
-.
Beast broke out of the story to allow a sob to escape.
I smelt his tears.
I pulled out of my future-mate's arms and wrapped mine around my beast's chest, leaning my head against his taller shoulder.
~'Show me.'~ I commanded.
-.
He found the kit. It was next to the neko-yokai's body.
The yokai let out a shuddering breath and Beast absentmindedly ripped his heart from his chest and threw it into the wall of a random hut with one bloody clawed hand while grabbing Shippo with the other.
The kit was cold. Our heart stopped.
Beast did everything he could, but it was no use. There was no yokai left in him and without it beast couldn't establish a link to give him some. He tried what Kagome's books called CPR but it was no use.
The kit was dead.
-.
I started laughing.
I laughed so hard tears ran down my face and I fell to the ground, holding my sides and kicking the air.
I could feel my head-mates' concern for my sanity but ignored them.
'They didn't notice! Oh, kami-sama! Thank you, thank you, thank you!' I tried to get my giggles under control so I could explain to them.
I had no luck.
~'Don't you see? Didn't you notice?'~
~'No.'~ They said at the same time. Both wary of approaching incase I snapped.
~'Shippo's ALIVE! That was one of his doubles! He enchanted something with his fox magic to make it look like him.'~
Then it occurred to me.
~'If Shippo's alive where is he?'~

End of chapter notes:
Another cliffhanger? Really?! C'mon, man!
Sorry. This is the part of chapter six that I cut off so it wouldn't be so long. I would continue this short chapter but the chapter wouldn't have proper flow.

Disclaimer:
I don't own anything. Well, actually I own a lot of shit. Some of it is pretty cool. All of it is worth next to nothing. I really don't own anything that is in the Inuyasha universe. I kinda own this plot and all OC that come with it. No profit is made from this little gem. But, due to the nature of bi-polar I probably won't finish it. So... yeah. I don't care if you want to finish it if I haven't updated in over a year.

Other notes:
I'm sorry to inform you that I will not be continuing this story in the forseeable future. I may come back to it, if I ever feel better, but that's unlikly in the coming year. I thought it would only be best to leave it on a less horrible note. Maybe things will work out better than I think they will. We can always hope.
