Let The Night Begin

Chapter Three

I focused my attack on Naraku, he was the one who gave these other animals the go ahead. Clawing at his eyes and face, kicking wildly at his legs and groin. Anything to try and make him stop, I was praying that if he stopped, then the others would too. Already, Inuyasha's strange glowing red eyes were out of my mind as I fought for my life.
"Damn it! Hiten, hold the bitch down!" Naraku roared as blood ran into his eyes from the many scratch marks decorating his face. Hiten lunged at me and I twisted frantically, even as Hiten pulled my arms painfully behind my back. It took me a moment to realize that the others had stopped and Naraku was to one who was still ruining my dress, tearing it apart.
I twisted hard, trying to dislodge Hiten from my arms, but he had them pinned and twisted behind my back. Seething with hatred, I was helpless as Naraku continued to tear off my dress in strips. Delighted with each new inch of skin bared.
He stepped back and grinned, watching me like a cat watches a mouse. I stood naked, heaving with anger, cold, and fear. Fear was warring with the other emotions and it was starting to win as I started to hyperventilate. It felt like an iron fist was closed around my heart, dread filled my belly and I thought I was going to be sick.
I watched as Naraku reached out and he cupped me between the legs, I screamed once more and kicked him as hard as I could. He cursed and jumped back, his hands wrapped around his shin. Naraku looked up at me and slapped me across the face, knocking me back into Hiten's chest. Hiten's hands left my arms and they roamed over my body, down to my hips and inner thighs, his panting breath heavy in my ear.
I pulled my arm free and slammed it into Hiten's stomach, he made a sound like a gasping fish. I expected him to hit me again, except Hiten didn't hit me. Naraku beat him to it. Naraku's fist sank into my stomach and I cried out and fell to my knees, my arms clamped around my body. I crumpled to the ground and looked over at Inuyasha. His entire body was starting to twitch slightly.
I watched as Naraku took off his shirt and he placed it on the hard pavement with gentle care. He barked something and the others followed suit. Naraku walked over to me and picked me up.
What shocked me, was he carried me lovingly towards the make shift blankets and laid me down. Then it dawned on me, they weren't playing around. They were serious. With a burst of energy, I screamed again and kicked at Naraku. One of the men jerked my arms above my head and held them with his knees as his hands squeezed my breasts to the point it brought tears to my eyes.
I cried out and struggled against him, managing to free one hand and slapping him with it. Naraku barked out a laugh.
"I guess the wench doesn't like your gentle lovemaking, Onigumo. Let's see how she likes this." I tried not too, but I opened my eyes and looked over at Naraku as he dropped his pants. My eyes jumped to his swollen erection. He was built like a bull, a brute, a raging animal.
"You bastards!" I screamed, as my arms where once again forced above my head. I struggled against the hands that held my own as Naraku lowered himself. I kicked wildly at his belly and thighs as he pressed his weight on me. He grabbed my legs and forced them out of his way as he settled between my legs. I fought with everything that was in me. Twisting and turning, crying, cussing, kicking, anything.
"Hold the wildcat!" Naraku shouted. Without warning hands were all over me, fingers digging painfully into my skin. My arms were held down by another, so I couldn't move them, my legs were pinned to the ground and spread by the other two until I was sprawled out and completely at their non-existing mercy. For a moment everything was quiet, my pulse was loud in my ears, maybe that was blocking out the noise.
"I'm not Kikyo, I'm Kag--" My cries were cut off as my body exploded into agony. I threw my head back and screamed in pain as Naraku rammed himself into me, tearing me. He forced my hips up to engorge himself within me. Tears filled my eyes as I cried out in pain and denial. It felt like he was going to tear me apart, ripping my virginity away from me. Slightly aware of warmth running down between my thighs, I prayed for death.
For the first time in my life, I preyed that I would die and wouldn't have suffer this anymore. You can rape a dead body, but the person doesn't feel any pain. That just makes the rapist a necrophiliac.
But my prayers went unanswered. I wasn't even rewarded with the sweet sense of unconsciousness. Naraku continued to thrust as I looked into his face, his eyes were closed in escasty, making animal like grunts.
Tears filled my eyes and overflowed as they ran down my cheeks and into my hair, this was dehumanizing. These men didn't care about me, they only wanted to use my innocent body. The two men at my legs let them go. Moans of pain left my throat as I tried to dislodge Naraku with my legs, but it didn't work, I was starting to become too weak. I could feel my strength leave my body.
It felt like something was hitting the bottom of my uterus, it was sickening. I watched as Naraku's paced quickened and the tendons in his neck stood out as his release hit him. He didn't even have the decency to pull out. Without thought, I reared up and bit his exposed throat like a damned vampire.
Naraku sputtered in shock, but my head was jerked away from his neck, leaving faint teeth marks. Naraku groaned, my biting him already forgotten. He dropped his head to my shoulder blade, his breath warm on my sweaty skin.
"Damn, Kikyo, thanks for the quickie." Naraku muttered and pulled out. I closed my eyes as the second man took Naraku's place. He couldn't tear me any more than Naraku had. I didn't want to know the faces of the men who raped me to haunt my memories for the rest of my life, but I forced my eyes open anyways.
I would remember these men, and when I was better, I was going to hunt them down and brutally murder them. My cries turned to whimpers as it continued, my struggles to nothing more than mere twitches. With the third took his place, he slapped at my belly and breasts with his palm, trying to get me to fight back and struggle.
"Fight me, damn you!" Hiten snarled as he continued to slap me. But I had nothing left, my energy was depleted. He suddenly flipped me onto my stomach and spread my buttocks. I screamed when he entered me, screamed until my voice was gone, my throat was on fire, and I had nothing left.
I turned my beaten and battered face towards Inuyasha and I blinked, he was struggling to his feet. I watched in a dreamlike state as he opened his mouth and roared.
"You rutting bastards!"Inuyasha's voice was loud and it startled all of them. The man behind me pulled out and let my hips slump to the ground. I watched as there was a scuttle of movement above me. Inuyasha seemed to be having problems to move because his body was slow and twitchy. Without warning, I was flipped onto my back. Naraku crouched over me, the knife in his hands.
"Time to put your cheating life to rest, Kikyo my sweet. May you rot in hell, you filthy bitch." He muttered gently against my ear like a loving lover.
"No." I whispered, I tried to lift my arms to protect my self, but I couldn't lift them. Naraku slashed the knife across my throat like I was nothing to him but an animal. Considering on how I was treated, that's what I felt like. Blood gushed out of my throat as I gasped for breath, my wind pipe slashed in two along with my neck. I forced my hands up and pressed them against my throat, trying to keep the blood in.
Hot blood gushed past my numb fingers. I heard a roar of rage and I looked over at Inuyasha. I watched as he grabbed the one named Onigumo in his hands. Inuyasha widened his already snarling mouth. Onigumo screamed in terror as Inuyasha lowered his mouth to the man's throat. I didn't see what had happened to him, but he fell to the ground. I knew he was dead.
Did I feel pity? Hell no! I wanted all of them to suffer as I have suffered. May them rot in hell.
The other four quickly scattered, but Inuyasha was faster then all of them put together. I didn't even see him move. One minute he was glaring down at Onigumo's dead body. Then he was gone, poof! Vanished. Three more sudden screams sounded, each one cut off. It was faint in my ears, it seemed like there were only milliseconds between each cry of terror. I spotted Inuyasha standing amongst the crumpled bodies. I only counted four, where was the fifth one?
I looked up into Inuyasha's face and I tried to gasp in fear and surprise but my gasp came out as a gurgle. Inuyasha's eyes were wild and feral, glowing blood red. Darken stains and splatters covered him from head to foot and his face was completely covered with the dark substance. His mouth was closed in a firm line. I watched as he struggled against something, but he must have won because his eyes weren't as wild and feral. But they still glowed.
The dark substance was blood.
I was surprised that I was still conscious. But I was glad that Inuyasha was alive. I wasn't sure how he managed to get most of the jocks. I wondered which one escaped, it was probably Naraku. Cowards, scattering like the cockroaches they are when there was a real fight on their hands.
It just showed how men like them were, they liked to strut around like peacocks but when real danger appeared, they were the first to run. I watched him as Inuyasha stalked towards me, fear and anger etched into his face. I watched his his nostrils flared slightly.
"Kagome." He said in horror, my name was very badly slurred, but I got a good look into his mouth. Fangs. He had fucking fangs. My eyes widened in fear.
I stared up in horror at Inuyasha's bloodied face. His eyes glowed bright enough they were like small night lights, lighting the area dimly. Just enough to ease the shadows. He was covered in blood head to toe from the men who attacked us. What made me more terrified then anything else, it wasn't his freakish eyes, nor that he was covered in the blood of my rapists. It was his long fangs protruding from his jaw. I needed to run, to hide, but my broken body was just too weak...
My god, he was a vampire. A fucking vampire. His look of horror was the last thing I remembered, because then I slipped into the depths of unconsciousness, hoping that death would take me on its gentle wings so I didn't have to remember what happened to me this terrible night.

--Inuyasha's Point of View--

"Oh, Jesus, no." I whispered in horror as I took in Kagome's naked, bleeding, and broken body. I could hear the blood pulsing through her veins as her heart struggled to keep beating. But with her throat slit, she was sure to die. Without a thought, I fell to her, landing on my knees. I grabbed her head in my hands.
Her neck wound was still gushing blood, and she was going to bleed to death if I didn't do something fast. Her heart was slowing, taking longer and longer to beat each time.
I bent down and ran my tongue across the cut in her throat, sealing it, stopping the blood from leaving her already snow white body. Her blood made my skin flush as I fought the urge to sink my fangs into her throat and drink what little was left running in her veins. I lowered my head against her chest, her heart beat was so faint, even my hearing couldn't pick it up. There was still hope.
I bent down and my fangs sank into her flesh with ease. Only taking a few sips, if she lost anymore she would surely die in my arms. I forced my head away, her blood making me light headed with want and need. I ran my tongue across the bite marks, keeping the few precious drops from escaping.
With a sudden curse, I bit down deep into my wrist, my fangs puncturing my skin and my vein. I didn't feel the pain, I was too far removed from it. Without a second to loose and not a second thought, for I knew if I thought twice about this, I wouldn't be able to bring myself to do this, I forced her mouth open and laid my wrist against her open mouth.
"Drink. Drink!" I commanded, my horror growing as her pallor turned even whiter, if that was possible. She was still bleeding, but from where? Surely those men didn't cut her up, slice into her skin like a slab of meat. There was a soft pressure as she tried, her throat worked with the effort.
Then it stopped. Her throat stopped working and I pulled my own wrist away and sealed the wound. I only hoped she got enough to revive her life. I watched as the swelling in her face started to go away and as the bruises and her busted lip slowly healed itself. I let out a breath in relief, as long as she wasn't bleeding anymore, her body should be able to replenish the amount of blood that she lost.
For the first time in my life, I prayed to the god that damned me and my family, if there was a god. My stupid prayers were interrupted when I heard the gym doors open and close, footsteps were coming nearer as the dancers were drawing closer. With another curse, I scooped Kagome's limp body into my arms. Large leathery wings erupted from my back as I took to the sky. I circled around the parking lot, watching as mortals poured out as they caught sight of the dead men.
People die everyday, yet stick a couple of bloodied and dead bodies in the middle of a public place. Mass chaos would ensure and the live humans flock around. I watched as several females gave a cry of horror and fainted dead away. That was always amusing. Sirens in the far distance met my ears, I blinked and glanced around the ground below me. I wondered which one had called the police already. That was rather quick.
That's when I noticed something, a figure huddled behind a bush, his wide eyes staring up at me. So that's where the bastard escaped too, I memorized his face, sniffing at the air to remember his scent. The next time I saw him, I was going to eat him alive. I would have liked to torture the others before I riped their throats out, but I held myself back.
Kagome's life was more important then those pathetic excuses of mortals. I watched as Naraku ran and fled for his life, knowing that I had spotted him. I only let him go because I wanted him to know what true fear was. Watching, waiting, hoping that I won't come and find him and make good on my promise, that the next time I see him, he would beg me for death. Naraku started it all, so I guess could vent out the torture the others deserved on him.
It was a fair trade, I thought, for him to rip away Kagome's innocents. I guess I'll just rip away all of Naraku's limbs. I wasn't sure why I stayed at this school, the attentions from the mortal females unnerved me slightly. I wasn't used to be sought after, unless it was for my life.
Hell, I didn't know why I was drawn to the mortal named Kagome. All mortals grow old and wither away, all in due time. I tried to keep myself from making friends with them. But these past couple of decades, I realized that I wasn't staying away from humans for their own safety. I was just doing it so I wouldn't get hurt once more.
I thought about the mortal woman who vowed she loved me, but stabbed me in the back. That damned priestess, Midoriko. I trusted her to keep my secret safe, but she turned what I revealed over to the priests which started a vampire hunt for my family. My own brother, Sesshomaru, told me if he ever saw me again, he'd kill me. I haven't seen any of my family since the night I returned home to see it in flames. Sesshomaru tried to kill me then, but I ran like the coward I was.
Hell, has it really been almost three decades since that happened? My vampire father, Inutaisho didn't give a shit. Ever since my mortal mother, Izayoi was burned at the stake, my coward of a father has turned to anything to keep him incoherent. I didn't blame my brother... It was my fault for the death of our family, and his.
That damned Midoriko, I should have just killed her outright. I knew she was going to be trouble the moment she learned of what my family and I were. Fleeing from me like I was the devil himself. What did I do? Watched her run like an idiot, stunned stupid. The next morning, that's when the hunters came.
Even though I wasn't the one who ended the lives of my brother's family, I gave the woman convincing enough proof to get the clergy to believe her.
Even though back then, I wasn't entirely a vampire. I was born alive, with a beating heart but once my mortal life was ended, then I would gain the full mouth of fangs and the immortality, plus all the other quirks. Those damn humans made many mistakes, their first one, attacking us, second, stabbing me, ending my mortal life. The third, they were unaware that I was being reborn.
For when a half-vampire/half-human dies, the vampire's blood running through their veins takes over the body, destroying the human part and the person is reborn into his undead life and a full fledged vampire. His mind and personality stays the same, but his biology is completely different. Already, my stomach was starting to tighten with thirst. I refused to even take in a single drop from any of the humans blood in my system. They didn't deserve that honor.
Deep in thought, I almost dropped Kagome when she spasmed, jerking her legs and arms. Tightening my hold on her thrashing figure, I vanished into the clouds and out of sight of any mortals eye. That's when I remembered the bloody clothes that was soaked in her blood. Maybe the humans might think that Naraku took off with her body. I chuckled darkly to myself.
I guess when he gets thrown in the slammer, it'll be like shooting a fish in a barrel. I looked down at Kagome. Goosebumps were forming on her skin and I realized it must be freezing to her. I quickly looked around and landed on the roof of a house.
Silently wondering what the family of four in the house below me would think when a man covered in blood ransacked the ladies dresser drawers. Only one way to find out, I thought ruefully as I placed Kagome's still form on the roof, making sure that she wouldn't be able to jerk and roll off and land on the ground.
That really wouldn't help her out at all. I felt my wings withdrawal back into my back as I jumped to the ground. Landing in a crouch, I stood up and headed towards the front door. I needed to get in and get out and find shelter for the both of us from the harmful sun's rays.
