Author�s Notes: Well,
it�s been a while, hasn�t it? I�ve been a bit dead on story ideas, but I came
up with this one after going through a bunch of randomly-themed fanfics. It�s a
bit different than my usual style, so it might be a bit rough. I hope you enjoy
it!

They took her. Snarls ripped through the
air, a clawed fist punched the nearest tree. The kit was crying, utterly
useless in a crisis as usual. The slayer was white with shock, and hadn�t
spoken a word since hearing what had happened. The monk appeared to be
unperturbed, but then again, he had always been the best at hiding his emotions
out of their ragtag group.
The
utterly damning part about it was, they did it in the rain, and they did it in
mud. They�d thrown her, thrown his woman,
gods damn it all, into the biggest pile of the muck they could find, and
masked her scent as much as possible. They�d hoped to delay him as much as
possible, altogether was the main goal, but they were wrong. Oh, it might take
him longer than under normal conditions, but his sense of smell had never
failed him yet, especially not when it came to Kagome.
Kagome. His heart lurched at the thought
of what those bastards might be doing to her, or planning to do to her� That
line of thought made him see red, and he quickly grasped Tessaiga�s hilt to
keep himself under control. Now was not the time to lose control, not when so
much was at stake� when Kagome was at
stake� Hadn�t his lack of control and awareness got them into this mess in the
first place? If he hadn�t been so busy focusing on those demons the bandits had
brought with them� Then again, if he had been thinking rationally, he would�ve
known that if he hadn�t listened to Kagome�s shrieks to protect the villagers,
not her, they�d be facing much worse than a few looted and scorched huts, some
missing roofs due to demons, mildly injured men, and frightened women and
children.
The rain was partially lucky, since
the wood on the huts had been too wet to do more than blacken a bit, and that
was easily fixed. The village had never been very wealthy, so the losses in
terms of valuables were minimal: some family heirlooms, some livestock, and
offerings and decorations to the shrine. The men would heal in time, and the
women and children would be soothed. All in all, it hadn�t been a terrible
raid, there had been worse attacks upon the village, and there were no significant
losses.
No.
They�d lost Kagome. She was still alive, or she had been when the bandits made
off with her mud-coated body on the back of a stolen horse, but it might be
hours, or even days before he found her. What a sight she�d been, a fiery,
merciful temptress in battle, her arrows aiming to wound and distract the
bandits rather than kill. He mocked her weakness in battle after, always, but
it was to hide the awe he felt when she fought back when her friends were in
danger. Today, she had been focused on taking out a bandit who had been intent
on snatching one of the older girls. The snap of her bowstring was drowned out
by the sickening thud of a club to her head. InuYasha, intent on cutting off
the head of a demon, had barely registered yet another sound of attack, and had
moved on to the next before he glanced around, precious minutes too late, to
see if she was managing. His quick eyes had seen a flash of green rolling in
the mud, and being slung over the back of a screaming horse before his mind registered
that the flash of green had been Kagome�s skirt, and those ransacking bastards
were making off with his woman, dammit!
Normally he would have gone
straight after her, but there was the nuisance of the babbling monstrosity at
the business end of his sword, and ten others like it �Where the fuck did those bandits get all of those demons anyway??�
and while Sango was good, she wasn�t him.
They were dealt with, and he had been delayed yet again by the need to dig some of the villagers out of their caved-in
huts. Why they were still inside, he had yet to figure out, but it was
something else to think about other than how to rip each and every one of those
bandits to pieces if they did anything to Kagome�not that he didn�t plan on
doing it anyway. His last delay, which he was currently growing more and more
impatient over, was that the monk, annoyingly patient and persuasive idiot that
he was, had insisted on knowing why InuYasha was determined on sprinting off
into yonder forests without telling them why. After threatening to wring
Miroku�s neck if he held him up too much longer, InuYasha explained his need to
leave through gritted teeth, and was now grinding his molars to dust because a
certain group of people would not let him
fucking leave! Oh, they wanted to find her, but they kept pestering him
with questions; rather, Miroku was pestering him with questions, and Shippou
was yelling at him between sobs for letting Kagome go. Sango had yet still to
say a word.
�Miroku, if you don�t shut the fuck
up, you won�t live to see another woman�s ass. Now, if you�ll excuse me, I�m
going to find Kagome, because it�s obvious that none of you care enough to do
more than sit around talking about it!� InuYasha snapped, and turned to stalk
off into the rainy evening.
Sango�s voice stopped him.
�InuYasha. Please� be gentle with her, when you�� Her voice shook. �You know as
well as I what they�re going to do. She� she might not be��
�I know.� InuYasha�s reply was
flat, and laced with anger and bitterness. �And I�ll make them pay.�
With that, he sprinted off, heading
the way the bandits had run off to after leaving the demons to handle the rest.
He paused after a mile or so, and sniffed around. He looked for anything that
might help: the horses, the filth from the bandits, a whiff of an item once
belonging to a villager, or Kagome herself. His nose was assaulted with
thousands of scents, as usual, but he filtered through them, intent on his
quarry. His ears pricked as he found the smell of a horse, overworked and frightened,
among the others. He also picked out bits of filth from the men who were
running with those on horseback. Tracking for a minute or so, InuYasha darted
off towards the east. He barely noticed as it got darker still, and as the rain
continued to steadily soak through his clothes. Suddenly, he gasped in pain as
his legs burned from exhaustion. Fear overtook him as he realized his fatal
mistake, and with the last of his fading demon strength, he bound into a high
tree branch, and gripped the wood with human hands. Silently he cursed himself
for forgetting his weakness, the night of the new moon. It would be impossible
to continue his search until dawn; he barely had an idea of where to go from
here as it was; to do so while weakened and handicapped was suicide. While he
hadn�t heard any demon activity in the forest around him, that didn�t mean a
damn thing. The rain would let up soon, and the nightly activities would begin.
And here he was, a weak, stupid dumbass who�d forgotten his human night for the
first time in over 200 years, stuck up a tree and forced to wait out the night
in sopping wet clothes with a human�s immune system. Gods damn it all, Kagome, why the fuck did you have to get kidnapped?
He nearly gasped as soon as he
finished his thought. Immediately he felt guilty. It wasn�t her fault. She
didn�t plan on getting taken during the raid. She�d only had other�s interests
at heart, forsaking his protection to fend off the raiders, and having him deal
with the worst problems. But he should�ve still found a way to protect her.
Even with those twelve-odd demons, he still should�ve kept an eye on Kagome.
But no, he�d trusted the others, and looks where that had got them. InuYasha
growled, not so feral-sounding coming from his human form, and vowed to
himself, I�m never letting her out of my
sight again.
His human nights always passed
slowly, with the same tense awareness of his surroundings, but tonight seemed
to amplify it all. His ears were weaker, but they still strained to catch every
rustle of leaves, and sounds of living creatures. The minutes crept by at an
agonizingly slow pace, and InuYasha cringed at every thought of what those
fucking bastards might be doing to his Kagome. His thoughts also wandered to
the blow that had taken her out. He wondered if she was ok, or if she had one
of those� those� co-cushion things
she was always babbling about when he took a blow to the head. He hoped she
wasn�t hurt; it was a slim hope, he knew she was about to be in some sort of
pain, but hope he still held.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome moaned lightly. She ached
all over, but her head was throbbing. She could smell cooking meat, and under
that, the smell of many unwashed humans and clothes. She gagged as the scents
assaulted her nose, and tried to sit up, to get away from the smells, and was
brutally knocked back down with a cuff to the shoulder. �The bitch is awake.�
An unfamiliar male voice chortled. Others joined in the cruel laughter, and
Kagome froze. Her head was still pounding, but she started thinking rapidly,
trying to remember what happened. She realized she was blindfolded, firstly,
and that her hands were tied behind her back. Her legs remained unbound for
some reason. Where am I�? This isn�t the village;
I don�t recognize any of these voices. The village� oh! That�s right, those
bandits� I think� did they capture me? It might�ve been when I was saving that girl;
I don�t remember anything after that� Why am I here though? Where�s InuYasha?
InuYasha!!
She mumbled InuYasha�s name, hoping
he was there, but instead she was met with more laughter. �What was that,
girlie? Hopin� fer someone t�save ya? Ha! All yer friends were all too happy to
let us go w�out ano�er glance at ye, there ain�t no one commin� t�save yeh.�
The man speaking was drunk, she knew that much. She suddenly felt herself being
lifted by the front of her shirt, and the blindfold ripped from her head. She
opened one groggy eye and slowly focused on the drunk. He laughed when she
opened the other eye. �Look-a here, lads, the bitch dares t�look at her
masser.� He slapped her with what felt like all his strength.
Kagome couldn�t even draw the
breath to speak. The light, though dim, was piercing her eyes, and made her
nauseous, in addition to being forced upright so quickly. The alcohol on the
man�s break wasn�t helping. She gagged again, her body shuddering. �Whassis?
Yeh gonna cry, girlie? Chokin� back a sob? Tha�s it, girl, cry like I like yeh
to.� She couldn�t take it, the smells, the light, her head ached so much�
�STUPID WHORE!� Kagome was slapped
with such force she went flying into the wall, and everything went dark again
as she slid into a splash of her own vomit.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Dawn. At last, InuYasha leapt from
the tree as the dim gold light struck the tips of his newly-restored ears. With
a graceful landing, he once again sorted through the smells around him, fearing
the trail might be growing colder. There. Heading east once more, he paused
only to make sure he was still heading the right way every so often. He smelled
smoke: they were close, with the wrong kind of wood to hide from a demon�s
nose. Bounding up and soaring above the treetops, no villages or human
dwellings appeared on the sprawling expanse of forest below, but that meant
nothing. Sometimes humans actually kept their leafy coverings, and built homes
under the trees. Scowling, he descended under the trees again, and continued.
After what felt like hours, a
building appeared in a gap through the trees. His hand gripped the hilt of his
sword, and he stalked to the door. There were no sounds coming from the
building, something InuYasha regarded with suspicion and a bit of dread. He
could smell cooked meat over ages of filth, and blood�Blood?! Kagome�s� Throwing caution to the wind, he kicked the door
down with a crash, withdrawing Tessaiga in the same motion. What he saw made
him freeze.
There was no one. His guess, it had
been abandoned only hours before, the scents were still fresh. His eyes scanned
the one-room building�s interior, and froze at one wall. There was a small
streak of blood on the wall. He took a cautious step towards it, and jumped
back at another smell. Looking down, the floor was partially covered in drying
vomit. Scowling darkly, not liking this one bit, he nimbly jumped over to the
streak, and took a cautious sniff. His knuckles were white, he gripped his
sword so hard. Kagome was still alive, there wasn�t enough blood here or on the
floor to suggest otherwise. The sick on the floor was definitely hers, he
deduced. Her scent was still lingering in strength, so they couldn�t have left
more than a few hours ago.
He wasn�t sure which emotion
gripped him more: rage or fear. Possibly he felt both equally, but so overcome
with them, he failed to hear the first creak of a floorboard. He didn�t miss
the second. Whirling, the Tessaiga rang a pure note as it briefly met with a
lesser-made sword, before hacking it in two. The man wielding it yelled, and
attempted to stick him with the bit left on the hilt. InuYasha�s hand was
wrapped around the man�s throat more quickly, however, and slammed him against
a wall. �Where did they go?! Where the FUCK did those cowards run off to?!� He
snarled, baring his fangs inches from the suddenly frightened man�s face.
He tried to swallow, but found it
difficult, due to InuYasha�s hand nearly crushing his windpipe. He gasped for
air, and InuYasha realized that if he wanted information, he had to let the man
live. For now. Able to breathe better, the bandit spat in his face. Fingers
tightening menacingly, the man started to turn blue. �If you want to live, I
suggest you not do that again�� The hanyou stated in a low growl.
The bandit attempted to choke out a
word, and InuYasha lessened his grip once more. His heart beat up near his
Adam�s apple, but he tried not to let on his fears about Kagome�s welfare.
�T-the river!� The bandit gasped. �A river, not far� to the east! Th-they meant
t-t-t-to take to the b-boats, head south! We�ve a better hidey-hole there;
t-they�ve been gone hours, you�ll never catch up!�
�We�ll see about that. I followed
you fuckers this far, why the hell couldn�t I get further south? Where�s this
other hideout?� He demanded, pushing him further against the wall
threateningly.
�I-I can�t say, I�ve never been
there, only� heard t-t-talk of it! I swear it, don�t kill me, don�t-�
InuYasha�s patience had run out.
With all his strength, he threw the bandit into another wall, and crashed
through the eastern wall in search of the river. It wasn�t far, the horses and
stolen livestock grazed on the banks, glancing up at him as if wondering if he
was there to take them back to their masters. InuYasha noted stakes tied to the
ground, five of them, and the lack of boats attached. He also noted the
swiftness of the water: added with oars, they could possibly already be at this
new destination, depending on how far south it was. He growled in the back of
his throat. �Is every god out there against me today?!� He roared, sprinting
along the riverbank.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome had once again awoken to
being blindfolded and bound. She tried to make as little movement as possible,
not wanting to receive any more unwanted attention as she had the night before.
Was it last night? She wondered. For all I know it could�ve been ages ago�
She was on a boat. She was stashed
in a corner of the boat, and could hear water inches from her head. She
panicked, realizing she could be very far from her friends at this point.
InuYasha might not be able to track her now, if he was even on their trail at
all. Oh gods, please let him find me quickly�
She refused to believe he wouldn�t be trying to find her, clinging to a small
bit of hope. Breathing slowly and deeply, she tried to calm down.
With nothing better to do than
think and draw as little attention to herself as possible, Kagome mentally took
note of her injuries. Her head was still throbbing, but less so than the last
time she was conscious; she felt what could be dried blood on the side of her
face, either from what had originally knocked her out, or what had taken her
out again. Her body ached, either from being in the same position for hours, or
from rough handling, she couldn�t be sure until she could see. Amazingly, she
didn�t feel any pain that could lead to sexual assault, but she wasn�t holding
her breath that it would stay that way. She supposed they were waiting for that
sick torture. The last note she made was her wrists, sore and chafed from being
tied with a rough rope. It was tight, and Kagome fully expected the rope to
break skin if it was left on much longer.
She wanted to scream in
frustration. She hated being the
damsel in distress, wanted to do
something about it, but she knew she�d have to sit this one out and do what she
could until help arrived. Hopefully that help would be in an extremely
pissed-off hanyou, and hopefully he came soon. She didn�t want to think about
what they were planning on doing to her, and she really didn�t want to think about how she was going to be unable to
do much about it. Kagome noticed that her legs were still unbound, probably for
as good a reason as anyone could guess, so she supposed that she could kick
them away if it came down to it�
Her body moved against her will as
the boat collided with something. No one made any disturbed sounds, so she
suspected they had landed� wherever land was. Hands roughly lifted her and
threw her across a shoulder like a sack of flour, and she almost squeaked at
the rough treatment, remembering to keep limp and silent at the last minute. The
men were all laughing about something, she couldn�t hear what was being said.
She felt a hand pass up her leg, and she couldn�t help the goosebumps that
rose. Nor could she help shrieking in indignation when the hand moved to flip
up her skirt all the way. �Oh-ho, boys, the wench is awake!�
Kagome managed to find her voice.
�Of all the rude, inconsiderate, chauvinistic things to do, I ought to��
She was silenced with another slap
across the face, as the men just laughed at her outburst, joking with one
another about women who didn�t know their place. Tears stung in her eyes, she
was glad the blindfold hid them; as much as she refused to show weakness in
front of these pigs, she didn�t know how much longer her resolve would hold.
She hated being the damsel in distress, yes, but that didn�t mean she wasn�t
scared. Any woman in her situation, surrounded by at least twenty men who
weren�t looking out for her welfare, would be scared witless. While she was
fairly sure her wits were still about her, Kagome wasn�t sure how long it would
take for them to flee faster than Myoga faced with a battle. She only hoped she
held on long enough for InuYasha to rescue her.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
InuYasha was ready to rip every
tree in sight out to the roots. Even travelling at his fastest speed, this was
taking far too long. Fucking hell, how
fucking swift is that fucking river, this is taking too fucking long� Gods
fucking dammit all to hell, those motherfuckers had better say their fucking
prayers now, they don�t stand a fucking chance when I lay my fucking hands on
them� His anger seemed to have eradicated nearly every descriptive word he
knew, save from �fuck� and it�s variations.
As much as he didn�t want to, he
realized he needed to see if he was still following the river. In the forest,
he could still hear it of course, but that didn�t mean anything: his hearing
range was close to three miles without straining much. He could go farther if
he worked at it, but usually it was too much work to bother. He slipped off
towards the sound of the river, and minutes later, perched on a flat-topped boulder
at the water�s edge. Glancing around darkly, he looked for any sign of the
boats, not that he expected to. However�
Farther downstream, his eyes picked
up an odd sight. Curious despite himself, he bounded down the riverbank. It was
a flat boat. He couldn�t tell how long it had been there, and there were no
others. Five boats left, but there�s only
one here� Either this has nothing to do with Kagome, which I highly doubt, or
I�m being set up for a trap� His thought barely finished, his ears picked
up the soft hiss of a sword being drawn behind him. Whirling and drawing
Tessaiga at the same time, he cut through yet another poorly-made katana. Five
men, looking surprised that their ambush had been caught before it even begun,
were standing with various weapons in their hands. Deciding to take some of his
frustrations out a bit earlier than planned, InuYasha smirked despite himself.
�Who�s throwin� the fucking party?�
One of the bandits opened their
mouth to speak, and InuYasha cut him off. �Don�t tell me.� His eyes glittered
dangerously. �You were told to stay behind and throw me off if I made it this
far.� He re-sheathed his Tessaiga as he spoke, and was amused to see the humans
relax slightly.
�I don�t slow up that easy.
Especially when you fuckers took something precious to me.�
Before the words had finished
registering in the men�s brains, InuYasha had two by the neck and slammed their
heads together. It was too easy. His youkai clamored for more, the taste and
the smell of blood, but he fought it down. He didn�t kill humans; as much as he
really wanted to at this point, he
didn�t kill unless necessary. Now wasn�t the time. The three remaining men
watched in horror as their comrades fell, and wisely took off screaming into
the forest. �bout
fucking time they got any sense� if only they�d learned not to mess with me before we got into any of this�
A faint, high-pitched sound caused
his ears to twitch. A second made him turn his head downstream. He breathed
deeply, trying to find a scent. His ears twitched again. Kagome�? Without another thought he sped off down the riverbank.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome screamed as pain shot up
through her left arm. It felt broken, just like her right leg after she�d
kicked two of the men in the face for touching her. One�s nose, she had thought
with wicked satisfaction, was broken and it would take a long time to heal from
the sound of the satisfactory crunching of bone and cartilage. The other probably had a broken jaw. Her
wrists, still bound, felt wet, and she was certain the skin had broken under
the ropes. Her back was one big hurt, and her headache had returned with
fervor.
Two pairs of hands grabbed her legs
and pulled them apart with force. Kagome screamed again as pain shot up her
broken leg. Something had shattered inside her somewhere around the time her
leg had. She quivered from head to foot and tears fell thick and fast down her
cheeks, sobs choking their way out of her mouth. An abnormally large, meaty
hand worked its way around her throat, and lifted her up to a partially sitting
position. Shaking harder than before, Kagome winced at the sharpness of a knife
pressed against the other side of her neck. She opened her non-blackened eye, a
reward for spitting in last night�s drunkard�s face, and struggled to breathe
as she stared into the face of the half-naked man before her. She winced as she
felt enormous pressure at her core, and more tears leaked out of her. InuYasha�
She shrieked at the sound of an
explosion close by. Pressure, hand, and knife vanished as she fell back on her
broken arm, and her cries were drowned out by yells of fright. Pain all over
made her drift in and out of clear consciousness; she lost track of time and
her body jolted unconsciously when gently hands picked her up.
InuYasha�s anger was fading, but
flared up again when Kagome screamed at his touch. His ears flattened against
his head, wincing at the sound, but he refused to drop her and do more damage
to her battered body. He turned and looked back at the carnage he�d left, and
spat on the pile of corpses, already starting to gather flies. Kagome�s shrieks
subsided and she went limp in his arms. Molten amber eyes looked at her sadly.
More slowly than he would have liked, to keep from hurting his Kagome more,
InuYasha left the hideout, and headed for the nearest hot spring he could
scent.

((Well, that was harder to write than I thought. Don�t worry, there�s
more to come, I�m not leaving things like this, I promise!! Much darker than my
old stuff, I know, but like I said, my muse gives me an idea, and I just work
with it while she kicks my ass around. See you next chapter!))
