Chapter 9

�Slow down my Lord!� Myoga struggled to hold on to Inuyasha as he crashed thru the forest heedless of trees, villages, or demons in his path.

I should have never let him leave� Ah whom am I kidding as if I could have stopped the Baka. Still if I hadn�t closed the link� �It�s my fault Myoga, he�s mine to protect and I left him alone. I slammed closed the link.� He stopped against a tree to get another sense of the direction the link was strongest.

�At least wait for the others to catch up, we may need their help.� Myoga tugged on Inuyasha�s hair in frustration.

�I don�t need help, and it�s not like they would willingly rescue Sess� Sessho.� He shook his head trying to clear the sudden dizzy spinning tilting the tree he leaned against and making the ground seem to shift under his feet. His stomach clenched violently the pain knocking him to his knees as blood and bile erupted from his mouth.

�My Lord!� Myoga groaned at the sent of the blood. Oh no not now, why did the mating power choose now to fix him? �You must wait. You can�t possibly fight in your condition.� Myoga wrung his hands franticly scanning the sky for the demon cat Kirara and the others.
Inuyasha struggled to his feet, spiting out the lingering traces of sickness from his mouth as the pain receded. What the hell is wrong, first my muscles are cramping now it feels like my body�s forcing out some poison? The ruff bark of the tree scratched his cheek as he leaned against it. Wiping his mouth with the back of his hand, he pushed away from the tree forcing his body to ignore the pain and run. Sesshomaru�

�There! There they are my Lord.� Myoga pointed at the flaming speck in the air, Kirara�s aerial demon form rapidly gaining on them. Myoga pulled on Inuyasha�s hair as his Lord ignored him and raced off again.

**********

�My Lord Naraku please forgive the intrusion.�

�What is it Kagura, explain your insolence quickly before I string you up next to Sesshomaru to feel my whip as well.� He growled at the kneeling form at his feet.
She glared at the dirt between Naraku�s feet as she spoke. �I spotted Inuyasha and the humans coming straight for the castle, my Lord.�
He let the whip rest against her cheek as Kagura spoke, while his eyes drank in the site of his whip marks crisscrossing Sesshomaru�s pure white skin in angry red lines. Now you wear MY mark Sesshomaru. He flicked the leather against her skin stopping Kagura from speaking again, �Stay here and watch Sesshomaru while I greet our unwelcome guests Kagura.� Without waiting to hear her assent, he vaulted to the nearest roof sprinting toward the main gate.
She scowled at her Lord�s retreating form as she stood up and brushed the dust from her kimono. Turning she inspected Naraku�s handy work. �Well, how the mighty have fallen.� She sauntered over smiling as Sesshomaru slowly raised his head. �You should have helped me when I asked. You would never have been put thru this humiliation if Naraku had been defeated then.� She reached up and brushed the sweat and blood damp hair from Sesshomaru�s face. �I could still release you, but what would be the benefit to me?� Her hand trailed down his face to his chest her black lacquered nails tracing a stinging path of red bloody welts.

�Still too afraid to fight your own battles wench?� He sneered at the woman. I knew you�d come for me Yasha, now if I can get free�all I need is a weapon.

�Big talk for a whipped dog.� Kagura dragged her claws across his chest, smiling at his hiss of pain.
�Better the feel of a whip than that of a collar.� He kept her talking while he focused on the link. �You trade your honor for a false sense of safety.�

The smile slid from her face, twisting into ugly rage. �What makes you so superior?� She sneered, grabbing his hair in her fist, she yanked his face toward her. �You hide behind a mask of cold indifference pretending that your soul isn�t weeping in loneliness.� She laughed as she pushed his head away using his hair as a leash, the sharp movement making the back of his head smack against the unyielding stone.

The venom in her laughter stung more than his head hitting the stone. Alone, without a mate or family for so long... He shook away the past concentrating on the feelings coming thru the link from Inuyasha. The cold shadows of loneliness faded as he wrapped himself in the fiery feel of his mate�s energy coiling thru the reopened link. My mate and my family both in one, I�m not alone now.

Her laugh faltered as Sesshomaru opened his eyes, defiance burning in their golden depths. She released her hold on his hair and backed away, uncertainty slithering down her spine.

�Your words have no power, just as you are powerless, slave of Naraku.� Now if I can just get her close enough again I can use my poison acid, though I doubt that fan could cut through these chains.

Fury screeched from her throat as she raised her fan. �Powerless! I will bury those chains with the fragments of your corpse. Dance of Blades!�

�Kagura no!� Kohaku yelled as he ran toward them knowing he�d not arrive in time as he entered a side gate, his body exhausted from trailing Inuyasha back to the castle.

Twisting as much as he could in the chains Sesshomaru tried to protect his stomach as blades of energy sliced his flesh and gouged chunks from the boulder. He suddenly slumped forward as one of Kagura�s energy blades sliced thru the chains binding him to the stone partially freeing him. He growled in pain as chains still bound his dislocated arm to the boulder.
She laughed turning away from Kohaku as she raised her fan sending another volley of energy blades straight at Sesshomaru.

Kohaku shuddered at the madness he�d glimpsed in Kagura�s eyes knowing she wouldn�t stop until Sesshomaru lay in bloody clumps at her feet. He forced himself to run faster as he readied his weapon.

**********

He watched from the roof as Inuyasha staggered into the clearing around the castle, �So predictable.� He said to Kanna as she walked up to him.
�Why did you leave the barrier down my Lord?� She asked as she took her place by Naraku�s side.

�Well Kanna it wouldn�t be much fun if the would be rescuers were unable to get the ransom to me.� He chuckled. �Hmm, I don�t see the human girl with the shards.� He frowned wondering if his game would need to be postponed.

She tugged at Naraku�s sleeve and pointed to the left.

�Ah good, the players are all here and they were kind enough to bring the shards.� He said as the flying demon cat brought the others to Inuyasha.

�Inuyasha!� Kagome yelled as she slid from Kirara�s back before the demon cat�s paws touched the ground running toward Inuyasha.

�What are you doing here?� He growled.
Kagome skidded to a stop at Inuyasha�s growl stunned at the way he leaned against Tetsusaiga the sword tip buried in the grassy ground. �Inuyasha we came to help. What�s wrong you look sick?�
�Feh, I don�t need your help. I know you all hate Sesshomaru.� He yanked the sword from the ground and stomped over to the castle gate.
�Oh I�m so glad to see you guys.� Myoga jumped up and down on Miroku�s shoulder. �He wouldn�t listen to me when I told him to wait.�

Miroku frowned as he watched Inuyasha. �What happened to him Myoga?�

�Oh um, well you see. It�s rare but sometimes when full demons and half demons mate the Youkai of the half demon uses the strength and energy of the full Youkai released in the primary mating to purge the human blood from the half demon.�
�I�ve never heard of such a thing Myoga.� Sango interrupted.
�It�s rare and it couldn�t have happened at a worse time.� Myoga cried using Miroku�s robe as a handkerchief to blow his nose.

Miroku swatted the flea, �Eww, that�s disgusting Myoga.�

�But that�s what Inuyasha�s always wanted, why is that bad? Wouldn�t it make him stronger? He wouldn�t have to rely on Tetsusaiga to keep his demon from going insane from the human blood in him. � Sango asked puzzled as to why Myoga would be upset.

�Yes, but he has to survive the purge first. But with as much blood as he�s vomited up he will be weak and he won�t stand a chance against Naraku in battle.�

�Wind scar!� He cut the air and sent the sword�s energy to blast the gate to the castle open. Panting, he fell to his knees, once more leaning on Tetsusaiga as he tried to recover his strength. As the smoke and splintered wood cleared he could see Naraku�s form barring the way inside. �Naraku! You bastard, if you�ve hurt Sesshomaru I�ll rip you limb from limb. Release my mate now!�

�Am I supposed to feel threatened by a lowly half demon that is too weak to even stand up?� He laughed as he watched Inuyasha struggle to his feet.

Anger giving him the strength to stand he pointed his sword at Naraku. �I will shove that smile so far down your throat you�ll have to drop your pants to grin.� He snarled out before dizziness twisted his senses and he leaned over to vomit up more blood.

�Inuyasha!� Kagome screamed as she rushed over and ignoring Inuyasha�s growl she slung his left arm over her shoulder. �Shut up, you need my help even if you don�t want it.�

�This is beginning to bore me, let�s play a game shall we?� Naraku asked as he drew energy into his hands forming it into a sphere of crackling purple energy, its center filled with rolling smoke. He faced Inuyasha raising his arm to throw while out of the corner of his eye he watched the demon slayer and the monk run toward their comrades.

�Inuyasha, Kagome watch out!� Miroku yelled as he, Sango, Shippo and Kirara ran to them to help.

So predictable� He quickly turned away form Inuyasha and threw the sphere directly at Miroku and Sango�s group.

�No!� Kagome screamed as the sphere of purple energy engulfed her friends exploding, the blast knocking them to the ground as miasma choked them unconscious.

He stepped past the wreckage of the front gate moving closer to Inuyasha and the weeping human girl. �Aw poor Inuyasha, you bring pain and suffering to everyone you care about, how sad.�

�Kagome leave me. Take care of Sango and the others.� He removed his arm form the girl�s shoulder and pushed her toward the others.

Kagome shook her head, tears streaming down her face. �No I can�t leave you, you need��

�Stop being stupid, you�re the only one that can dispel the miasma, hurry before it�s too late to save them!� He snarled at Kagome as he raised his sword, his arms slowly regaining strength.

�No need to choose girl, you�ll both be in the same predicament in a moment.� Naraku spun more purple energy between his hands as he laughed at the pathetic group.
Kagome wiped the tears from her eyes as she moved away from Inuyasha, drawing her bow she focused on the arrowhead wrapping it in purifying energy. �Hit the mark.� She whispered as she shot the arrow into the center of the mass of miasma surrounding her unconscious friends.

Naraku frowned as the arrow dispelled the miasma. �No matter, the miasma did its purpose. Your friends are in no condition to help you now Inuyasha.� He tossed the crackling purple sphere back and forth between his hands.
�I don�t need help to take back what is mine.� He sliced the air with his sword. �Wind scar!�
Naraku threw the sphere into the sword blast deflecting the killing energy and splitting it harmlessly around him to crash into the castle walls. �You�ll have to do better than that Inu�� The words stuck in his throat as pain flared in his chest knocking him to his knees. Kanna�s scream pierced the air, her own small form on its hands and knees on the rooftop. �No! Kohaku.� He sprang back up to his feet, his battle with Inuyasha forgotten as he darted to the roof scooping up Kanna on the way back inside the castle.

*********

He crouched down as more energy blades sheared thru the stone, sharp chips of stone stinging his flesh as Kagura moved closer adjusting her aim. Just a little closer you crazy bitch. He flexed the claws on his freed right arm waiting. �No wonder Naraku left you here to baby sit if you can�t even kill a chained demon.� He taunted, needing her closer.

�Bastard! Not only will I kill you but when I�m done I�m going to kill your brother and that little girl you drag around too.� She yelled.
He grinned as she came within range. Springing up he thrust his claws through warm flesh, his fist closing on the still beating heart as he ripped it free and squeezed it in his claws his poison acid eating away the flesh.

Her eyes widened in shock as Kohaku�s hot blood splattered her face and kimono. His body coming between her and Sesshomaru�s in his attempt to stop the fighting.
Stunned Sesshomaru looked down from Kagura�s shocked eyes into Kohaku�s, the light of life fading from his shocked eyes as the boy slid to the ground at his feet.

Kagura gasped her head whipping around toward the front gate as Kanna�s scream pierced the air.

He took advantage of her distraction and taking Kohaku�s weapon threw the scythe at Kagura the sharp bone blade plunging deep into her chest.
Blood filled her mouth as she fought against the pull of the weapon trying to free herself as Sesshomaru used the chain attached to the weapon to drag her to him. The blade pierced her chest right where her heart would have been if Naraku hadn�t stolen it from her to keep her enslaved. She snarled in pain and fear as Sesshomaru yanked the scythe from her chest and raised it to her unprotected neck. �You may have won against me,� she sputtered as blood gushed from her mouth, turning her head she spit and caught site of Naraku running toward them, �but you won�t escape his wrath for killing one of his mates no matter how unintentional.� Bloody laughter bubbled from her lips as death claimed her, the scythe severing her head from her body.

He pushed Kagura�s headless corpse away from him and used the scythe to free his injured arm from the chains. He stood slowly, Kohaku�s weapon in his hand, and turned to face Naraku.
Kanna pushed herself free from Naraku�s arms and ran to Kohaku�s crumpled body. �Kohaku!� Dropping her mirror in the dirt, she carefully turned Kohaku�s body over, a keening wail bursting from her small body at the massive empty hole in her mate�s chest.

�You won�t live long enough to regret your actions Sesshomaru.� Naraku�s tentacles burst fourth and he attacked with a savage yell.

**********

Inuyasha froze in cold terror as he entered the gardens in the center of the castle. He watched as his bloody half naked mate struggled to defend himself against Naraku�s tentacles one handed. �No! Get away from my Sesshy!� He ran toward them and darting between Naraku and his mate, he attacked. �Wind scar!�

Naraku snarled in pain as the blast from Inuyasha�s sword disintegrated half his tentacles.

�Get out of the way Inuyasha I almost had the vermin within range.� Sesshomaru growled as he spun the scythe by its chain.

He moved so his back touched Sesshomaru�s defending his unprotected bare back from the many tentacles slashing out at them. �Almost had him? Feh, I can�t leave you alone for a day without you getting into trouble.� Slashing with his sword he lopped off five more of Naraku�s tentacles. Are those whip marks? How dare that bastard Naraku hurt my Sesshy!

Sesshomaru snorted at the taunt his eyes never leaving his enemy as he kept the spinning blade moving, cutting off any tentacles that tried to attack from above them and on his side. �I got into this �trouble� as you call it making sure our mating would be fertile and filled with many children, ungrateful Baka!� He panted, his arm burning under the strain of keeping the blade spinning and the useless flopping of his dislocated arm made him want to scream in rage.

�You dare to cheapen Kohaku�s death with a lovers spat!� Naraku�s furious attack intensified as he sent the Saimyoushou in mass at his enemies.

�Children?� Inuyasha paused stunned, the thought of children never even entering his thoughts, �but, how?� He winced as one of Naraku�s tentacles whipped out and sliced his arm.
�Snap out of it and pay attention to the enemy Baka!� Sesshomaru growled at his mate. �Hurry before the Saimyoushou get here, pull my shoulder back into place!�

Inuyasha turned from cutting off tentacles and plunging his sword into the ground freed his hands to help his mate. �This is going to hurt.� Without waiting for his brother to reply he quickly wrenched the arm back into place with a sickening pop.

Dual screams rang out as both brothers yelled in agony.

�Stupid of you to turn your back on me Inuyasha.� Naraku laughed as he twisted his tentacle deeper into Inuyasha�s guts.

He gasped and sank to his knees as the twisting in his guts brought tears to his eyes. Looking up to his mate he smiled as sadness filled his heart. �I would love to have had children with you Sesshy.� He tried to reach out to his mate as he watched red rage bleed into Sesshomaru�s golden eyes.
