Fragments of Broken Pride

Chapter 8

As Kagome and the others began off in the direction the youkai lord and hanyou had taken, toward Kaede�s village, the monk stopped in his path. �Kagome-sama, do you feel that?�

Kagome�s eyes widened. �Naraku� Inuyasha�I have a bad feeling, we have to find them!� she said as she hugged the little kitsune to her and the wind caught her hair.

The group all clambered onto the fire cat�s back and rushed at top speed toward the dark energy, hoping they weren�t too late. Sango directed the cat ahead, �Kirara! Find Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru!� The feline roared as she took off with a sharp burst of speed.

Inuyasha�s feet carried him as fast as they could to the ominous battlefield. He skidded to a stop as he spied his brother standing in the clearing. �Sesshoumaru!� He ran up to the demon lord, looking around and sniffing the air curiously, �What happened? I can smell the beast, but where is he?�

The Lord of the West turned his head to look at the half-breed and a wry smile spread on his lips. Then he abruptly threw his noxious talons into the hanyou�s stomach, twisting his hand after he felt his fingertips puncture into the tender flesh, and pulled them back out with bloody chunks of meat dangling from his fingernails. �Why, Inuyasha, can�t you tell me from your own brother�?�

The hanyou sank to his knees holding his stomach with both hands. His eyes were wide with confusion and disbelief. He looked up into the face of his elder brother with questioning, perplexed eyes. And then he saw the demon lord�s eyes. They were not the pure golden eyes of his brother, but the blood-tinted crimson eyes of another. �� Naraku�� He whispered in realization.

The impersonator chuckled, amused at the chaos of emotions he�d created in the half-breed. �I suppose you�re wondering what I�m doing in this form.� he said as he began to walk a circle around the fallen hanyou. �He fought rather hard, but in the end it was a futile effort� and I claimed my prize which was, of course, his person, and I rather like this new body. I can feel his splendid powers surging through me.� he smiled and looked down at his new deadly talons. �I�ve never held such supreme power before� Pity for you. You won�t get to tell him goodbye now.� he cackled cruelly down at the wounded boy.

Inuyasha grimaced as he held his burning wound. It hurt so badly. Sweat was forming on his brow as the venom ate away at his innards. He felt like all his strength was being sapped just from this one blow.

Naraku knelt down beside the hurting hanyou, the wicked smile never leaving his host�s face, �Does it hurt very badly, little brother?�

Inuyasha�s eyes widened and he growled at the demented psycho, �You aren�t my brother, you freak!� He yelled heatedly as he swatted at the form of the demon lord.

Naraku caught the half-breed�s wrist and twisted it around until he heard it crack. Inuyasha shrieked in pain as he felt a bone snap in two. Naraku smiled wider and leaned closer to the boy�s contorted face. Then he swiftly grabbed the hanyou by the hair with his free hand and jerked his head around, smashing his mouth against Inuyasha�s lips.

The hanyou was stunned into a momentary mind lapse, and could only stare at the face of his brother and the deadly eyes of Naraku. His emotions battered against each other in inside him, like a storm surge. Naraku was violating him deeper than he knew. It was more than just being disgusted at the psycho�s malicious games. The freak was in his brother�s form; his brother, whom he�d been having conflicting emotions toward. His brother, whom he�d yearned to be accepted by. His brother, whom he�d been inadvertently falling in love with all this time.

He pushed the monster off of him in a thoughtless and desperate reaction. As he struggled to stand up the fake demon lord rose and smiled in that cruel and crazed smile that only he could muster, �I wonder� why such a delay. Could you possibly have� a little crush on your big brother, hn, Inuyasha�?�

The hanyou struggled to get to his feet, but tripped before he fully made it, �You�re insane!� He screamed frantically as he tried again, managing to keep his balance this time. He reached for his Tetsusaiga, but before he could draw it out he felt the wind get knocked out of him and was back on the ground with a heavy body lying on top of him. He growled out fiercely, trying his best not to seem weak, though inside his heart was pounding against his ribs at ninety miles an hour. He truly was afraid. Afraid for himself, but afraid for his brother too.

As the monster pinned him to the ground he let out another of his demented cackles and harshly pushed Inuyasha�s wrists into the ground. Inuyasha called out his brother�s name, thinking perhaps if the demon lord could hear his voice he could push the dark thief out of his body. Naraku laughed and leaned down close to the hanyou�s furry ear, �Do you realize how incredibly erotic this is for me?�

Inuyasha thrashed violently beneath the body-snatcher, but try as he might, he could not get the beast dismounted. Naraku threw back his head and laughed aloud before again swooping down and kissing the hanyou�s unwilling mouth. He bit into the boy�s lips and suckled at the creamy blood that formed. As Inuyasha continued to resist, thorny, branch-like tentacles came out from the demon lord�s ribs and clamped down onto the hanyou�s ankles and wrists. Inuyasha�s eyes shot back and forth between the barbed limbs and the youkai�s crimson eyes.

Naraku�s spiteful smile was omnipresent on his host�s soft lips. �I just want you to know after I fuck you senseless then bathe in your entrails, I�m going to do the same to that little miko bitch of yours��

Inuyasha screamed and thrashed savagely, once again calling out to his brother in desperation.

�He can�t hear you, you fool. Sesshoumaru is mine now, and he will only hear and see what I permit him to. But perhaps you should know, just before he passed out, it was your name on his lips.� He muttered as he dug his talons into the hanyou�s wrists, �Such a hopelessly irrational incestual love. I�m sure he�d be more than disgusted if he knew. And of course he�d never return your repulsive feelings, but you knew that already, didn�t you, little brother?�

Inuyasha gritted his teeth as a tear rolled from the corner of his eye. �STOP CALLING ME THAT!� He shouted as the dark youkai laughed in his face.

As one of the rough limbs lowered to rest along the hanyou�s arm, Naraku�s hand slipped down Inuyasha�s bloodied body and ripped the clothes from his chest, revealing the gory wound he had inflicted earlier. He lowered his mouth to the meaty wound and latched onto one of the 5 holes, and bit into the bloody flesh. Inuyasha screamed and tried to thrash, but quickly stopped as he discovered that only caused more pain. He felt the demon rip a hunk out and made a garbled moan as the beast sat back and began to chew. Blood dribbled down his chin as he sucked the dangling meat into his mouth and swallowed.

Inuyasha�s breath came in tiny shallow pants as he began to realize what was really happening. Tears came to him both from the searing physical pain and the broken floodgate of emotions that he had kept up for so long. As pain swarmed his body, along with an unsettling amount of poison he felt his conscious mind slowly begin to abandon him.

As Naraku began to lean back down to take another delicious bite from his feast, a feminine voice broke him from his task.

�Inuyasha!�

The fake demon lord retracted his tentacles and stood back up as he saw the group descend, sneering slightly. Kagome was the first to hop off, bow at the ready, and her eyes widened at the sight she saw, �Sesshoumaru� What� What have you done?!�

Naraku fought back the urge to smile as the miko addressed him with his host�s name, �I tried to stop him� but you know how stubborn he is.� he said attempting to deceive them.

Miroku and Sango appeared at the miko�s side, laying their eyes on the critically wounded hanyou that lay a few feet before them. The two approached their fallen comrade almost without pause, but Kagome stood her ground eying the mysterious lord with distrust. �Where is Naraku, Sesshoumaru?� She asked sternly.

The demon cracked his knuckles, never taking his eyes from the petite human girl, �I couldn�t stop him, either. He escaped.�

The taijiya and monk seemed to pick up on Kagome�s uneasiness and looked back and forth between the demon lord and the miko.

Kagome clenched her bow, which didn�t go unnoticed by Naraku�s surveying eyes. She looked to the lightly breathing Inuyasha, seeing the bite in his stomach and the talon marks. She saw the bloody, plum welts that she recalled seeing another time, as a result of Sesshoumaru�s acidic venom. As her eyes met back with the demon lord she noted the way the blood came from his mouth in a spilling manner, as if he�d bitten someone� She raised her bow and aimed it at him.

He didn�t pause for a moment before he lunged, with a snarling roar emanating from his throat. He would kill this stupid bitch right here and now.

A blaze of light flashed as Kagome�s purifying arrow flew true and impaled itself into the youkai�s chest. Naraku roared in agony as his eyes bled over with crimson from Sesshoumaru�s body�s natural reaction to injury. Chaos ensued as the burning white energy stung him like a thousand bees. Energy swirled in black masma-laden clouds and the demon lord�s body fell face first into the sandy ground. The skin on his back puckered and swelled until the shirt was ripped in two and a mass mound of reeking flesh and organs delivered themselves from the youkai�s body. They piled higher and higher until finally a head and torso pulled itself from the sickening flesh. Naraku growled with overpowering fury, and quickly erected a barrier to ward off any attackers.

The demon lord has regained his mind, just barely, but it was only enough to tell him of the intense pain that was grinding though his body as more and more of the monster crawled out of him. He whimpered as his weak fingers clawed the ground.

Kagome had expected something, but this was not it! She had her bow drawn, but she knew it was not strong enough to penetrate his barrier, and her current concern was the Lord of the West she had struck down with her arrow. She watched as he trembled violently with every fleshy blob Naraku removed. Blood began streaming from his mouth and he finally vomited out a good amount, before Naraku pulled still more of his organs and prickly tentacles from the lord, causing another heave of blood to erupt.

Kagome was afraid that this, on top of her purifying arrow would most surly kill the lord. And her heart jumped into her throat as she saw him put his head down into the pool of crimson liquid he�d just ejected.

Finally the last bit left Sesshoumaru�s body, but the motionless body didn�t react to the relief. Naraku sneered at the opposing group before him, knowing he could not challenge the miko without Kanna at his side. He decided to retreat, but drew a nasty plan into his mind as he did. His huge thorny limps swung down, acting like legs and crushing small trees in their path. He moved swiftly through the forest, in similar motions to an octopus and vanished from sight in moments, leaving nothing except the two motionless brothers behind.

Sango, Miroku and Kagome did not pursue him, in order to try and save their fallen comrades. Kagome sat at Inuyasha�s side and took his hand in her own, cooing his name softly into his pointy puppy ears. His eyes slowly fluttered open and the big yellow iris�s found Shippo�s and Kagome�s worried faces.

�Shippo�Kagome�?� he muttered, a bit bewildered.

She touched his cheek tenderly, �Are you alright?�

He nodded and started to slowly, and carefully sit up, letting a soft whimper loose as he reached a sitting position. �Sesshoumaru?� he said, with a sudden worry in his voice.

Kagome looked over to where Miroku and Sango hovered near the lord�s motionless figure; Sango, with the lord�s head in her lap, and Miroku sitting close to her side. Inuyasha shot up from the ground, forgetting about how much pain he was in and limped over to his brother�s body. He fell to his knees at the youkai�s side and crouched over him, reaching with his good hand to touch the bloodied face without second thought. �Sesshoumaru?� he said almost frightened.

The demon�s eyes opened and he reached up and swatted the hanyou�s hand away, muttering a detached, �Yes, I�m alive, you Baka.�

Inuyasha laughed in relief as he felt Kagome approach beside him, and leaned his head on her leg, taking her hand gently. She squeezed his� and patted his hair lovingly with her other hand, happy that they were both going to be alright.

Sesshoumaru�s eyes suddenly went wide and he sat upright, with a bolt of pain shooting through him in the process. His movement�s startled all the others, but he didn�t stop there. He got to his feet, wobbling rather generously. He limped a few steps before Kagome hurriedly placed herself under his arm as a crutch,

�What are you doing?� she asked concerned.

His eyes held a fear in them she hadn�t seen previously. �Rin.� he said with fear laced in his voice. He walked as fast as he could, enduring the relentless pain without so much as a whimper. Kagome held much of his weight, and worried over his state. As they got closer and closer to the camp site his gait grew faster, and more frantic. He was almost at a run, and Kagome nearly tripped as he began to pull her, before the forest finally opened up, and he turned her out from his side, finishing the rest of the way himself.

He stopped as he looked down at the disheveled fire site and bloodied grass. His eyes were wide and his mouth hung ajar. Slowly his breath became labored, growing sporadic and loud.

Kagome stepped up beside him and quickly turned away, covering her mouth, just as the others came running up from behind.

Sesshoumaru began to mumble objections under his breath, carrying them on for a moment before he finally screamed with all his breaking soul and hit his knees. The winds swirled around him and his features slowly became furry and elongated. His enormous size sprang up as he transformed and light shrouded his form. The huge dog demon threw back his head and howled loud and long. His ear-shattering voice echoed through the countryside, carrying with it all his shattered heart and inescapable mourning. He howled again and again, each song more disheartened than the last.

The group at his feet had to cover their ears for fear of their eardrums imploding, but even still, they could feel his grief-stricken song dig into their bodies and rumble their hearts.

He had lost his one and only daughter�
