Ketsueki s Law

                                                        Ketsueki’s Law

InuYasha sits quietly in the branches over head, the smell of blood creeps through the dry summer night. His nose twitches at the iron poison swishing violently through the trees. Jumping down he looks down upon the sleeping miko who is tucked tightly in her sleeping bag, he tends to the fire one last time and then leaps into the air. "I know how much Kagome hates being left behind, but there is no need for her to get killed over me." The hanyou thinks to himself as he continues leaping over tree to tree gracefully gliding at points.

The smell of blood grows thicker as he continues on. He settles on a branch as his ears move to the sounds of screams. “Er..... Dammit all to hell!” He roars as he starts up running again.

Smoke eats the sky as he approaches, at first with caution. He raises his head to the sky and inhales. The cloud of smoke bellows out beyond a patch of trees. The hanyou can smell a damned Youkai near by.

“Ketsueki!” The furious hanyou screams as he comes face to face with the Youkai.
“I thought I had disposed of you already?!”

“Aw.... little hanyou InuYasha has come to save the day...... how cute.” Ketsueki teases. “I thought you had disposed of me to, but I guess Naraku had other ideas.” As the Youkai strikes InuYasha with his Subeta o Zangyaku. Ketsueki chuckles as he sees InuYasha laid across the ground. “I expected for you to put up more of a fight, so much for the son of the great Dog Demon of the West! I guess most of it comes from your weak human mother, now does it InuYasha?” InuYasha stands up from his place lifting his Tetsaiga and pointing it directly at Ketsueki. “Ketsueki, you’d better shut that fucking mouth of yours or I’ll show you what the son of the great Dog Demon can really do.”

“You mean your brother? Lord Sesshoumaru is here? Cuz you can’t be talking about yourself...” Ketsueki stares at the pissed hanyou. “Really now.... you were referring to yourself? Unlikely you mutt. That father of yours was a fool as much as you, and possibly more for loving a human.” The Youkai continues to talk as InuYasha’s rage grows inside of him. “ENOUGH!” The crazed hanyou roars. “Ketsueki, prepare to die you fucking piece of shit!!” And begins to charge at the Youkai. “C’mon InuYasha!” As he dodges the first charge toward him. ”You think you can beat me with that puny thing?”

“I did before!” The hanyou says happily but with a fierce tone. “Yeah, but I mean c’mon that was before I had shards from the Shikon no Tama.” As he dodges the second attack from InuYasha.”

“Heh. Weakling...” The amused hanyou growls.
“What do you mean?” Ketsueki asks teasingly.
“As if calling upon the Shikon jewel to make you strong isn’t a pussy’s way of doin it.” The hanyou teases. “O and that‘s suppose to make me feel bad, being called a pussy. Ketsueki calls back. “At least I’m gett’n some.” The annoying Youkai mumbles under his breathe. “What was that Asshole?!” The irritated hanyou asks. “Nothing, nothing! Now then, let’s continue on with the execution...” Ketsueki says.

InuYasha has grown extremely annoyed by this youkai and is now snarling and breathing heavy. “By the sword of Tetsaiga, from the fang of my father I will send you back to the grave I first put you in, you damn bastard!” InuYasha calls out. “KAZE NO KIZU!” As a gust of wind wounds toward Ketsueki. “Stupid hanyou!” As he dodges it and then smacking it back toward InuYasha with his Subeta o Zangyaku. “Dammit!” The hanyou yells as he stands to use another attack. “Bakuryuuha!!” Which flings back InuYasha’s first attack ten folds. Ketsueki Barely misses this one. “Damn InuYasha!”

“Better watch out you rotting corpse or I just might have to rip out what’s left of your heart!” The hanyou barks.

Near by Kagome has been following InuYasha and with all the blood he wasn’t able to detect her. She is just coming out of the forest when she sees InuYasha fighting a Youkai who has three jewel shards. “O no, be careful InuYasha....” But as soon as she finishes Ketsueki looks over and sees her. “Ha-ho what is this?”

“Hm?!” InuYasha follows the Youkai’s eyes over to Kagome. “Kagome!! Get out of here!”

“InuYasha!” She calls. “He’s got three Shikon no Tama shards in his stomach!”
“Kagome RUN!!!” The hanyou belts out as Ketsueki charges toward her. The miko screams as the rush of the monster comes at her. “KAGOME!” InuYasha jumps onto the Youkai's head and with his Tetsaiga stabs through it’s head. The Youkai’s tail and body swirl and cringes at the pain. “Damn you InuYasha!!” The beast screams as it regains it’s footing. “You don’t touch’r, she’s mine!” The hanyou insists. “InuYasha?” The surprised miko asks. “Get behind me Kagome!” InuYasha commands. “Keh!” As the young miko stays close behind.

“Well, well, well, what is this? InuYasha? You haven’t gone and fallen for this miko have you? Now that just wouldn’t be right. I guess you were always a mama’s boy” As he charges for both of them. “SHH----UUU--T UP!!!!” The hanyou roars as he strikes down the charging Youkai into the ground. “Now, Kagome get running and get as far away from here as possible!! NOW GO!! The hanyou says to his miko.

The rising Youkai snarls and growls at them “Well InuYasha, I guess it’s not all bad, I mean she is a miko. But isn’t that a bit ironic.
“SHUT UP YOU DAMN BASTARD!” The hanyou roars.
“No hard feeling InuYasha, I mean you could always make love to a clay pot and I can have the young miko!” As he makes another swipe at Kagome. “KAGOME!” InuYasha screams as she’s swept off her feet by now air-born Ketsueki.

“Get your dirty hands off her!!” InuYasha barks after the retreating Youkai.
“INUYASHA!!!!!” Kagome whales as she moves out of reach from InuYasha.
“KAGOME!!!!” Suddenly a huge group of Youkai's and Naraku’s poisonous insects appear from the sky in the way of leaping InuYasha trying to get to Kagome. “DAMMIT ALL TO HELL, GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY WAY!!!” As the youkai's thicken and submerge InuYasha.

“Sankon Tessou!” InuYasha barks as he thrashes through the Youkai.
“KAGOME, KAGOME, KAGOOOOOMEEEEE!!!!!” As he leaps off of the youkai's and in realizing she’s gone falls. With Hinezumi no koromo fluttering against his body up towards the sky, he falls down back to Earth and with his back crashing into the ground in defeat, he lays there in a daze and finally looking up to the purple sky he sadly cries out for his miko. “Kagome!”

                                                              ~^.^~

The miko is being taken to a palace to the East by flying Ketsueki. “Put me down!-- Inu-YASHA!!!” The miko cries out for her savior.
“Keep quiet wench, you are mine now. Not even little hanyou InuYasha can help you.”
Ketsueki commands to the poor miko as tears swell in her eyes.

InuYasha leaps from tree top to tree top toward the East. “Dammit Kagome, why’d you have to follow me always!?” The aggravated hanyou says to himself. “Your scent is fading, hold on Kagome!”

The henchmen of Ketsueki that resemble Lord Sesshoumaru's Jaken strap Kagome to a “T” shape structure made of wood. “What am I, a sacrifice?” The annoyed miko asks. The henchmen just giggle to each other at her predicament. Kagome becomes frighten and believing that this was the worst thing that could happen to her as they stripped her of her clothing, until one of the Jaken look-a-likes announced. “All hale Lord Ketsueki!” As the lanky Youkai stepped through the door and bashed the little creature on the head and corrected him. “The GREAT Lord Ketsueki”

“Is this guy for real?” The miko thought to herself.
“Leave us!” The lanky youkai demanded.
As soon as the others left he turned to Kagome. “I think I’m going to have fun with this... It’s not everyday you get to torture and humiliate a miko, and a miko of InuYasha at best!” He smirked as he lifted her chin with his hand to get a better look at her. “Shame, and your not that bad on the eyes either.... pity really, I’d love to keep you as my personal slave, but Naraku wants you dead.” Kagome’s stomach churned at the thought. The ugly Youkai frowns at her but then immediately switches to a sinister smile. “Well then, let’s get started!”

“InuYasha....” The worried miko pleads.

InuYasha is back on foot and with the palace in view picks up speed. Suddenly two ogres emerge from the rocks with clubs at hand, but they don’t stand a chance and InuYasha slices through them. “Heh! That’s all he’s got?” The hanyou says.
Then Naraku’s baboon puppet jumps into play pummeling InuYasha into the ground with his tree trunk like tentacles. “NARAKU!!” The angered hanyou roars. “GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY WAY!!” He demands. He thrashes at the quick moving puppet as it multiplies and surrounds him. “DAMMIT!” One makes a strike but he dodges it while another stabs him through the back with a tentacle. The hanyou roars as its pulled out of him. “SON OF A BITCH!!!” He barks as he swipes and takes half them down. “Kaze no Kizu!!” As he thrashes through them.

Kagome is cut up badly as the Youkai cleans off a dagger. “Well now, isn’t this fun?” The cruel Youkai teases at Kagome. The miko gasps from pain. ”Disgusting, youkai's and humans together. Damned hanyous, Their all bastard children.....” Kagome began to stir but due to the ropes around her wrist, not much could be done.
“This was too cruel even by Naraku’s standards” She thought to herself. “Wait, This is Naraku were talking about, things are only going to get worse....... InuYasha, please hurry....”

“Ready for more, wench?” The putrid Youkai asked as he licked her cheek. Tears began to run down the miko’s soft blushed cheeks.

                                                             ~^.^~

“Kagome!!!” The strong hanyou roared as he smashed through the remaining Naraku clones. “DAMMIT!!!” As he sliced off the last dummy’s head. “I’m coming Kagome, just hold on a little longer!” He leaps into action flying toward the palace in long glides.

“Your blood is something special, no? The sinister Youkai asked the bleeding miko.
Her head hung low in embarrassment of her open body. Muffled cries of “You cruel bastard!” came from the small miko’s gagged mouth. “Hm? Cruel? Not at all my good miko, I am just doing what I am told, even if it brings me pleasure.” The lanky Youkai draws a large crooked smile across his face. “Soon it won’t even matter if you feel any pain...” He whispers into her ear. Her eye sight begins to fuzz as she could feel herself lose conciseness from the lack of blood. And all she could hear was the horrible chuckle of Ketsueki.

“InuYasha.......”

Her breast were bleeding from the Youkai’s claws along with her inner thighs that held scratch marks when she came through. She looked up with a heavy neck at her torturer. He frowned upon her as he spoke. “I could never bring myself to use a human for my personal needs.” And with that he knocked her out cold with the butt of his Subeta o Zangyaku. The coldness of the open wound on her forehead left an eerie twitch to her eyebrow. Her shoulders ached and her ankles pounded along with her heart beat. Her lips cracked and dry hung open as she drooped. “InuYasha....” She softly cried.

“Had enough?” The Youkai asked heartlessly. “It seems your hanyou isn’t coming to the party.” As he stood up from his chair. “I guess the best time to kill you would be now.” As he raised his Subeta o Zangyaku over Kagome’s head. She let go of her neck letting her head fall and her chin land on her chest. “InuYasha.....” She whispered. Ketsueki’s muscles twitched as they made ready for the slash. The Subeta o Zangyaku came down. “INU-YASHA!!!!!!!!” The miko screamed.

                                                            ~^.^~

“InuYasha......” The miko mouthed as she laid on the floor in a puddle of her own blood. She could feel the cold from the floor leave her body as the warmth of the Hinezumi no koromo surrounded her. “Kagome....” She heard against her neck. She slowly opened her eyes to the sight of white hair strangely blowing in no breeze. She painfully turned her head, dragging it across his forehead and finally resting on his brow. “--Yasha... you came....”
