Chapter 1. Attack and Rescue

Chapter 1- Attack and Rescue

This is not a happy chapter. Actually, the first couple chapters are unhappy. But this chapter contains nonconsentual sex. It means rape people. I know it's gross and tragic, but it's real. This is your only warning.

It was a very cold, wet day, with promising rain clouds. The entire city was darker than usual, although it wasn't past 5 o clock. Most of the people were indoors, and the few outside had on raincoats and umbrellas at the ready. One girl, however, walked through the streets of New York in nothing but a light hoodie and jeans. Her head was bowed and she was hugging herself.

A sharp fork of lightening flashed in the dull gray sky, followed almost immediately by a roar of thunder. 'Shit' she thought. She covered her head with her arms and ran to the nearest shop as it began to rain. Once inside the warm, empty yet brightly lit room she squeezed water out of her raven black, wavy hair that came just beyond the shoulders.

A middle aged man carrying a cardboard box came into view. "Kagome, what are you doing out in such a weather? You shouldn't be walking around in the middle of a thunder storm"

"Oh, I'm very sorry, Mr. Osada. I didn't mean to intrude"

"no, no, it's not that. You shouldn't be walking around in this weather. You know how it gets"

"its alright, its probably another quick shower" indeed, the rain was beginning to lighten up

"still, young lady. I suggest you hurry home. Why don't you let me give you a ride?"

"no thank you, I can walk. It wont take long" Kagome wished him goodbye, and, before he could say anything else, ran out the door again. 'why did i just lie to him? i should have accepted his offer, its getting dark, and i'm freezing'.

In fact, she had gotten into a fight with her parents (yes, they are both alive. no grandpa. She has family problems), and had run out of the house without thinking when her dad slapped her. 'they'd be worried about me. I should go back...' she thought. she turned around and headed back home, missing the lurking shadows in an alleyway she passed.

However, 5 minutes later, the rain got worse. It was pouring down so hard it made loud noises against windows and cars, and it was thundering almost constantly now.

Suddenly, lightening struck a tree nearby. Kagome yelled and dropped to her knees, covering her head with her arms. She looked up and saw the tree on fire, sizzling even as the rain began to put it out. "It's not safe. I have to find some shelter before I get struck by lightening too." Kagome got up and ran, but it was slightly getting woodier with more trees and the houses were fenced off and run down. "Good job, Kagome, you baka" she grumbled to herself

Kagome shivered and stumbled down a narrow, dark alley way, a hand on the brick wall to guide her. The buildings were high enough to block out most of the wind, and it was drier because of the roofs that nearly touched each other. Kagome sighed and tried to squeeze out water from her wet clothes, when thunder struck again. Her head snapped up. When the lightening lit up for a brief moment, she thought she saw a moving figure of someone at the far end of the alley, which was fenced off. 'don't be paranoid' she told herself firmly. 'there's no one here except me and some pile of junk...' Kagome plopped down on an upside down crate near the entrance, and waited for the storm to pass. She was looking out when Kagome, for certain this time, heard movement. But when she looked back it was completely empty. She got up and slowly made her way down. She reached the fence and looked around.

Nothing.

Kagome looked up and saw barbed wires at the top of the fence, and sighed with relief, but jumped a foot in the air when she heard a voice behind her that sent chills down her back. She whipped around and found herself facing someone's chest. She looked up and, to her horror, saw a man smirking. He had pitch black hair down his back and red eyes. He was wearing only a short sleeved shirt and jeans with sport shoes, and Kagome noticed with fear that he was a hanyou. She could tell from his evil aura.

"well well well" he said "look what we have here, Onigumo" he said, making Kagome shiver. Behind him, another man, human this time, stepped out of the shadows. Another thunder, and Kagome couldn't stifle her gasp when she saw his face. More than half of his body had burned away, and his grosteque face held many scars, burns, and there was a long cut on a corner of his sneering mouth.

"quite a catch this time, eh, naraku?"

"what is a pretty girl like you doing out here all alone?" the man called Naraku said, reaching out a hand and tucking a stray hair behind Kagome's ear.

"No-nothing. I must be going now" she said. Kagome pulled away from Naraku and tried to step around him, only to find him blocking her way.

"I don't think so" he took a step towards her

"get out of my way" kagome said, although she took a step back with each of his

"no. you see, i want you to pay me back for finding you. who knows what could have happened if we didn't? you could have gotten into a lot of trouble" naraku could sense her fear increasing by the second

That made no sense to Kagome what so ever. "please..." she began to shake 'what have i gotten myself into?' she thought.

"relax, kagome. you'll find me an easy going man once you start to cooperate." he had her pressed against the fence now.

Kagome paled "How- how did you know my name?"

Naraku smirked. He could feel Onigumo drawing closer behind him "I know everything there is to know about you, Kagome Higurashi..."

"no... you're wrong" Kagome couldn't control her shaking 'kami, what am I going to do?'

Naraku leaned in close to her ear "don't worry. I wont hurt you... too much"

Kagome knew she was in trouble. She was getting dizzy, and she couldn't think properly. When Naraku grabbed her arms, she yelled "let go of me!" and a blue aura surrounded her, and naraku was forced back. He looked at his hands, which were red and covered in blisters. "so, you're a miko?" he looked angry.

"Naraku" Onigumo said nervously "lets get out of here, you can't mess with-"

"don't tell me what I can or cannot do"

Onigumo gulped and stayed silent, but Kagome could tell he was not at all pleased to find out Kagome held miko powers. Neither did Naraku.

But even as kagome tried to think of a way to get out, she saw Naraku's burned hands heal instantly.

"as you can see, your powers have no lasting effect on me. a puny, weakling like you couldn't stand against a powerful youkai such as myself"

"you mean a hanyou" kagome spat, trying to hide her fear.

Naraku's eyes flashed dangerously. He grabbed her wrists and pinned her against the rough brick wall. Kagome tried to use her powers again, but this time they simply glided over his skin on to the ground, only ridding her of her energy.

"no.." her eyes widened. She pushed him away and ran, but a hand grabbed her shoulder and threw her against the fence, making it rattle. She turned and started to climb it. When Naraku grabbed her ankle she kicked him, cutting his lip. Kagome was almost to the top, her hands cracked and bleeding from the wires, when she was slammed against the cold ground.

The force of the blow made her dizzy and head ache. "nnngh..." kagome closed her eyes and rubbed her head, but snapped them open when she felt a heavy weight on top of her.

Naraku leaned down and pressed his lips against hers, his hands roaming her body. Kagome tried to push him away, but to no avail. She turned her head, but couldn't escape. She bit down on his lip hard enough to draw blood, earning herself a slap in the face as Naraku pulled away angrily. Kagome started punching and kicking every part of his body she could reach. She was almost out of his grasp when she felt an iron grip on her wrists. It was Onigumo. He had grabbed her hands and tied them with a rope, pinning it above her head.

"now, where were we" Naraku said in a satisfied way. He got up and removed his clothing save his boxers, smiling at the look of terror on her pale face. She gasped when he removed his shirt, and Naraku followed her gaze to his chest. She was staring at the burned mark on his chest right over where his heart was. "I'm glad to see you recognize the sign of my gang"

Kagome had seen the mark on news many times, for his gang was known for their thirst for blood. They had committed countless murders and other crimes, and their leader, Naraku, was one of the most wanted man in the country. "you're... Naraku of... the Shadow League..."

"Correct" he replied, before he straddled Kagome again.

"NO! LET ME GO!" kagome screamed and struggled. She was scared out of her mind. 'he's going to rape me!' She began to cry, her salty tears mixing with the rain. "Someone please help me!"

"shut up, bitch" Kagome screamed as Naraku tore away her clothing with his claws, drawing bloody lines from her ivory skin. He threw aside her ripped clothes and looked at her naked form. "you have a very beautiful body, do you know that, Kagome?" he asked, squeezing her breasts. "I'm going to enjoy this very much"

Kagome screamed again and again, telling them to stop, calling for help, but even she knew no one could hear her through the storm. Rain poured down at them still, drenching her freezing.

He licked her neck, making his way down her shoulder, between the mounds, before taking a nipple into his mouth while playing with the other with his hands. He was enjoying the full, roundness of her. He could barely contain her breast in his spidery hand. Her stomach was flat and well toned, and her legs long and slender like a colt's. She had all the curves in the right places, and her silky hair was spread beneath her as her bright blue eyes begged him to quit what he was doing.

"Please, STOP!" Kagome cried hysterically, which urged Naraku to suck harder. He loved it when girls put up a strong resistance.

He soon switched to her other breast, and bit down, causing Kagome to scream louder. He loved hearing her scream, causing her to cry and writhe in pain, while he took pleasure from her perfect body.

Naraku continued his journey down her body, licked her belly button, and buried his head at her core, moving down so that he could hold onto her knees. Watching Kagome's reaction, he licked the holds of her center and rubbed her nub with his fingers. He spread her lips with his tongue and sucked, never letting his fingers leave her clit. Kagome jerked wildly and twisted around, trying to get free.

Naraku smirked and continued his assault, flicking his tongue in and out of her. He tongue fucked her, making Kagome scream. He was frustrated to find that no matter what he did to her, he couldn't get her aroused. She only bit clean through her bottom lip, and blood trailed down her jaw line. He growled and pushed in a finger, to be met by a resistance.

He laughed when he felt her barrier. "Onigumo, it seems like she is a virgin"

Kagome saw the gleeful look on his face as Naraku came back up face to face and whispered, "they're my favorite"

"you... sick... bastard! let me go! someone please help me!"

He pushed two fingers inside her and pumped it faster and faster, her walls clenched tightly around his hand.

With groan, he buried his face in her chest, and forced her legs open with his hands.

"No..." Kagome tried to keep her legs tightly closed, but with an unexpected amount of strength he spread them apart and kept them in place with his legs, and mounted her.

Naraku ran his hands up her thigh to take a painful hold on her hips, his claws digging into her flesh. He rubbed his length up and down her pussy, teasing her, watching her eyes widen and mouth open with silent scream.

Then, he plunged into her, breaking her maiden head. He gave her no time to adjust to him, and immediately began pumping in and out.

Kagome shut her eyes and clenched her fists. She couldn't look. She couldn't stand to see what he was doing to her. Her back arched and her head thrown back as pain spread through out her. Never had she felt such intense pain. She could feel blood trickling down as Naraku raped her. But Kagome sobbed and never quit struggling. This was not how she imagined her first time to be. She was saving her virginity for the one meant for her, and this Naraku ripped it away from her like it was nothing. She had been treasuring the purity of her body, thinking that it was worth the wait... Yet here she was, lying on the cold, hard floor washed in a sea of pain. She was sickened at his smirking, actually pleased to cause her this agony. 'Why?' she thought 'why is this happening to me? No! Please... someone help... make him stop...make him stop! I cant take it anymore...it hurts... it hurts...'

Naraku moaned louder, pumping into her as he felt his release coming near. He grunted "I'm going to cum inside you, Kagome"

"NO, PLEASE! DON'T! STOP, NARAKUUUUU!" 'what if get pregnant? what am i going to do? no... no... no...'

He grunted as he released his seeds inside her. She could feel something warm fill her inside. His claws dug further into her... she was screaming for the world to hear, twisting her body, trying to get free...

And then suddenly... she was.

Everything seemed to stop, including the rain and the thunder and lightening. Her head was spinning, her body was numb and freezing...

She gasped, not knowing what happened as suddenly he pulled out of her and spilled the rest on her thigh and stomach... she opened her eyes. Kagome saw another figure roughly pull Naraku to his feet, and gulped, thinking it was someone else who had come to attack her. But she saw him being thrown against the wall and heard a loud thud. Onigumo cried out in pain and released Kagome's arms as he was kicked in the face with a nasty cracking noise. She heard him scramble and crawl to join Naraku's feet, who, still naked, looked pissed

.

"Sesshoumaru, what are you doing here?"

Kagome turned her head slightly and saw someone very tall walk and stand next to her. She couldn't see his face, but she noticed his white hair and two maroon stripes on his clenched fists. 'no, not another one...' she thought desperately.

He didn't answer; he threw another punch, knocking Naraku down, but before he fell he grabbed him around the neck and pushed him against the wall "This time, I will kill you"

Naraku choked "what for? because I was pleasuring myself with the bitch? Stay out of the way, Sesshoumaru, it's none of your concern."

"I don't care about the girl, Naraku" he growled "Do what you want with whores. We've got business to take care of, and I'm not waiting around for you to finish fucking around. But you will not live to oppose me nor get away with threats again"

"Heh. Wrong. You could never get your hands on me" as Naraku spoke, he and Onigumo started to fade black into the shadow, until only his red eyes glowed.

"We'll meet again, Kagome, to finish where we left off. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did" with another laugh, he disappeared completely and Sesshoumaru's nails were digging into his palm.

Swearing under his breath about cowardly shadow demons, he turned around to find the girl still in the same naked position he found her, whimpering. She hadn't bothered to lower her arms or close her legs. Her bright blue eyes stared at him with terror. Just terror, and a faint trace of hope.

He saw her tear stained face, her tied hands, bruised and bloody body, and blood and what smelled like Naraku's sperm covering her thighs, stomach, and her swollen pussy, which was still dripping blood.

Kagome was shocked to see Naraku disappear like that. So that was how he cornered her. She whimpered when his red eyes looked at her, promising to come back for his 'unfinished' business. Kagome flinched when the man called Sesshoumaru turned around. He was quite good looking, with his pointed ears, long silvery hair, golden eyes and the same two marroon stripes on each side of his face, and a dark blue crescent moon on his forehead. She barely registered the fact that he must hold some kind of title to have that symbol on his head. He was wearing khaki cargo pants and a navy blue jacket over a black shirt. He couldn't have been over 25.

The usually stoic demon felt pity for the girl. He could see her beauty underneath the mess, and nobody deserved what happened to her, especially by the likes of Naraku... He sniffed. The stench of Naraku was overwhelming with that of blood and remains of sex. He covered his nose with the back of his hand but saw that the girl's lip trembled dangerously at this motion, and dropped it back to his side. He stepped closer and stood towering over her.

To his hidden surprise, she grit her teeth and said, "Go on. What are you waiting for?"

He raised a slender eye brow.

"Aren't you here to finish what he started? Go on. Stop mocking me, I know I'm pathetic." Tears poured down her face "I can tell you're a youkai. I can't fight against you. I couldn't even stop that.... that monster... from... from..." she hiccupped, bit her bruised lip, and closed her eyes.

Sesshoumaru answered in his usual calm, cold voice "Human, do not assume me to sink as low as that to attack a helpless girl. Why didn't you use your miko powers against him?"

"What... did you say?"

"Your purifying powers. I can sense that you are a powerful miko"

"I am not... powerful... It didn't... I couldn't.... hurt him.... I burned his hands, but they... healed.... And then... it wouldn't... even touch him..."

'Naraku was not effected by miko powers? I can tell she is not completely trained, but he should have been injured. This doesn't seem right" making a mental note at the back of his mind, he shook back his sleeve and brandished deadly looking claws. Kagome cried out as he raised his hand, waiting for the inevitable... but it never came. There was a soft whoosh, and the ropes binding her hand were cut cleanly.

Kagome blinked. She flinched again when he got on one knee and took off his jacket. "Kagome, was it?" he asked, his voice much more gentle this time.

Her brows came together in confusion, and she nodded.

"Go home, Kagome" he said, lifting Kagome's upper body off the ground so he could wrap her in his jacket. Then he seemed to change his mind. "I'll take you."

Very carefully, he lifted her limp form into his arms, bridal style, but Kagome let out a stifled scream and grasped his arm tightly. He looked questioningly at her, but she shook her head.

"Let- Let go of me! Don't touch me!" she looked fearfully at him. Kagome pushed herself out of his arms and scooted back, leaving a trail of blood. She back up into a corner and buried her head on her bent knees, wrapping her arms around her legs. Kagome's shoulders began to shake, and Sesshoumaru could smell her tears. She bit her tongue to prevent making any noise, wishing the stranger would go away and leave her.

He slowly walked toward her and kneeled again in front of her. When he touched her leg, she winced and drew away, not looking at him.

Sesshoumaru sighed inwardly and placed his hands on her shoulders. They might have never met each other, and it was clear that Kagome didn't trust him, but he was the only one who could help her at the moment. It would be useless going to the police; Naraku was already in trouble by the government for far worse things, and nobody would care to look over a rape. Even if they did, there was nothing that could be done. Naraku had never been caught before.

Kagome tried to get away from his touch, but Sesshoumaru held her firmly in place by her shoulders. She looked up and her bright teary eyes met emotionless golden ones; but somehow, something inside her felt safe with him there. It was hard to think that he would hurt her. He wanted to kill Naraku, didn't he? Anyone who wanted him dead couldn't be all that bad. After all he saved her...

"Who are you?" she asked, her voice was shaky and husky.

There was a brief silence. 'Should I tell her who I am? She might be targeted if others find out she met me and Naraku. But he knew her name, which means she's already in hell of a trouble...'

"My name is Sesshoumaru"

Kagome, looking into her savior's eyes, felt like she was drowning within its depth.

At that moment, something broke inside her. With a terrified sob, she threw herself into his arms, crying without restraint. 'What if he didn't find me when he did?' she thought. ' I'd still be with Naraku, who knows if I'd have survived, he could have killed me...'

Sesshoumaru let the poor girl take comfort in him. After a while, when she became quieter, he picked her up as before, making sure his jacket, which went down to her knees, covered everything for her sake, and walked out to the streets.

"Where do you live?" he asked, feeling an annoyance to see that she was still crying. Kagome leaned her head against his shoulder and sighed

"Sun... set... Shrine" she said weakly.

He nodded to show he understood, and she felt Sesshoumaru tighten his hold on her. Kagome hiccupped as he jumped and wrapped her arms around his neck. "You can fly?"

"No" he said with a hint of sarcasm, but gave her a reassuring squeeze just the same. They landed in front of the shrine in no time. He walked up the stairs and rang the doorbell.

No answer.

He knocked.

Kagome hiccupped again and asked him to put her down, but she swayed and her legs gave out underneath her. She felt a pair of strong arms grab her before she could fall. Sesshoumaru held her and kicked open the door, breaking the lock.

He went upstairs and found her room. He laid her on her pink bed and turned to leave. "Wait..."

He turned around and raised an eyebrow

"where are you going?"

"Home" He had no desire to stay with the girl longer than he had to. She was starting to confuse him. He didn't like being caught up in a situation like this, or the feelings that came with it.

"Are you planning on reporting the incident to the police?" he asked.

"No!"

When he leaned against the wall and glared at her. "I mean, please don't. I don't want anyone to know. I can't... it's just... I don't know what to do..." she looked away

Sesshoumaru heard someone walk up the stairs and into the house.

"My business is complete here. I wish you good luck, girl" he walked towards the door, thinking she'd be lucky to see the next sunrise, and saw a woman, no doubt the human's mother, standing in the doorway with her mouth open.

"Mom..." Kagome saw her and pulled the jacket closer around her, trying to hide the damage

"I thought I heard voices in your room, Kagome" her voice was steadily rising. She looked like she could have attacked her own daughter.

"Who are you?" she demanded, turning to Sesshoumaru. He growled, pushed her out of his way, and walked out of the house, ignoring the angry woman shouting at him to get back.

When Sesshoumaru left, Kagome's mother stood stunned for a second, before yelling for her husband to come.

"What is it?" he asked, running in the room

"Here's Kagome" she said shrilly "I found her here, half naked, with a man"

"Mom, it isn't like that! Let me explain, I-"

"WHAT!" Her father strode over to the bed and grabbed her arm, lifting her up.

"Ouch!"

Her parents were starting to scare her. Her mother was glaring daggers at Kagome, murmuring something under her breath, walking around the room. She could only hear some words: "First she runs out... could have died with worry... doesn't even care... spend the day looking... a man in her room... that wretched clothes..."

"HAVE YOU BEEN SLEEPING AROUND, KAGOME?" her father roared, grabbing Kagome by the arms and shaking her. She could feel her cuts opening again.

"No, it's just-"

"WE WILL NOT HAVE A TRAMP FOR IN THIS HOUSE!! YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO THIS FAIMLY! GET OUT!"

Kagome's jaw dropped. "You can't... I'm your daughter! Mom, make him stop!"

"Go. Just go" she said, sitting limply on the floor. "I thought we'd raised you better than this. You're a disappointment"

"Just listen to me!" Kagome burst out, frustrated that neither of her parents would listen to her. "It's not what you think. He helped me with something, I never did anything-"

Her father, who was still holding her arms, snorted. "Are you telling us that, after we find you like this, you still never slept with anyone?"

Kagome paled. 'what do I say to someone who asks me if I'm a virgin? I can't tell them... I can't tell either of them. They won't believe me. But if they did, I don't want them to have anything to do with Naraku... He'll kill them, just like he's going to come after me to finish me off.'

"Kagome?" a voice came from the doorway. It was her younger brother, Sota. "Where were you? I was really worried. Are you ok?"

"I'm-I'm fine, Sota"

"Sota, go to your room and finish your homework" her mother said, taking his hand and leading her away.

Kagome's father dragged her down the stairs, and out of the house, unknowingly worsening her wounds, as she tried to get free. He pushed her outside, which was raining again, and shut the door. The last thing she heard was her mother crying.

A/N I know some of you guys are angry with me, but the rape had to happen to help the story develope. Feel free to flame, but it won't change.
