Wounded Heart: Re-Written by Kiba

The Beginning

Important Note: Please note that this is the 'rewritten' version of my very first story, Wounded Heart – which I don't expect you to read. Because it was badly written, had many grammar issues, badly placed commas, and short, I've decided to redo it. So, I have created Wounded Heart: Re-Written, - one of my darker fanfictions' - the story you might enjoy, or might not. Either way, I'm just happy to be doing something so cool!

"Inuyasha!" the young miko shouted toward her companion. Her hanyou was being rash once again merely swinging around with Tetsusigia like it was a toy. How he could treat his father's gift like that was beyond her?

Sesshoumaru's eyes locked onto the miko's form. He snorted, wondering why he was here again? Ahh, yes... once more he'd crossed paths with his bastard brother when Naraku attacked. How can she be so loyal... flashed through his thoughts, as he brought down Tokijin upon another lesser demon? The miko was like a mystery to him and it was such a shame she was born human, or he might even fight for her love.

Sango, the taijiya, who'd lost her only brother to the fiend Naraku, swung her massive boomerang blocking the attack of anything that attacked her. Her brown eyes focused on her secret love, who was sucking in many demons at a time. Unfortunately, with Naraku's insects flying around it was hard for him to even put a dent into the large number of youkai.

The hanyou slide to a stop next to the young miko yelling, "Stay back, Kagome!"

The young woman nodded and grabbed hold of her bow should she need it. The kitsune upon her shoulder shuddered as another youkai came flying toward them, fangs snapping wildly. Without thinking, instincts took over and the miko grabbed hold of an arrow upon her back before swinging it forward and into the bowstring.

Hit the mark, Kagome narrowed her eyes, letting the arrow go after pulling the bowstring back to her cheek. The arrow flew through the air grazing the side of the long dragon like youkai. The bright pink light engulfed it until the youkai fell from the sky, dead.

Tetsusigia sliced through another demon, as golden eyes narrowed with disgust. Why had his father given such a prize to his hanyou brother? What did the hanyou have that he, Taiyoukai of the West, did not? The bastard didn't deserve such a sword; he couldn't even use it properly! Someone to protect... ha, like he'd ever need someone to protect, and the sword only worked for the mutt because of the miko.

Miroku kneeled down, covering his wind tunnel once more. His hand was already turning purple from the poison inside of his system. His breathing was coming out quicker then before and he could feel his blood pumping faster through his very veins.

Sango eyed Miroku seeing him upon the ground she threw her weapon shouting, "Hiraikotsu!" Once the massive weapon flew back to her she spun it upon the palm of her open hand making it slow in motion before it spun back onto her armored back, then without hesitation she began running toward the fallen houshi.

Damn, Inuyasha thought as he released the 'wind scar' upon his enemies. He could make out Miroku and Sango, and turned his head a bit to find Kagome upon the ground her eyes widened as another youkai came at her. He was about to spin toward her but Shippo unleashed his 'fox fire' saving both from the growling youkai.

The taiyoukai huffed slicing through to the puppet Naraku. He could hear the deep laugh of the hanyou and growled in annoyance. Naraku would pay for kidnapping Rin and once he got rid of the hanyou puppet he'd focus his attention on the one that took her, Kagura.

Said incarnation was holding her fan out in front of her commanding the demons. Her red eyes locked with that of the demon lords. What a fine piece of meat he was... but her order was to get rid of them, all of them. Her eyes narrowed; sometimes I think he's just out to kill me. Naraku was always sending her out into the battlefield while he sat in his castle all nice and cozy like.

Kagome cuddled Shippo under her breast as she formed a barrier around them. After three years of training with her miko powers she was finally able to control most of them. Other times however she would lose control and then have to rely on the others to save her. She was so weak...

That was apart of being a skinny schoolgirl though...

"Inuyasha!" the taijiya called when she saw her friend being surrounded by many snapping, snarling, growling, roaring, and all out vicious youkai. Standing from the houshi's side and she proceeded to throwing her large weapon toward her outnumbered friend.

The hiraikotsu flew through the air spinning round and round until white blades came crashing upon it tossing toward the taijiya. "Kagura," she hissed slinging her weapon back up for another attack. With a lunge the boomerang once again began flying through the air but this time hit the mark she wished it too.

Kirara, the fire neko, growled sinking her fangs into the neck of her opponent. Her claws scratched at its side tearing the skin and everything underneath away from the youkai. Her mighty roar escaped when the youkai flew to the ground no longer moving, and deadly still.

Kagome glanced outside of her barrier just in time to see the taiyoukai knocked back toward her. She let down the barrier knowing it would purify him should he touch it. With a sigh she watched as he began to gracefully fight off anything that came near him, which was every demon trying to get her jewel shards.

Once again he growled in annoyance as he fought off the youkai. Sesshoumaru snarled into ones face and then glanced back, unconsciously slicing through the youkai trying to get at the shikon miko. It would not do him well should anyone find out he could have saved the famed, kind-hearted, shikon miko... but didn't. Everyone would shun him, HIM!

Inuyasha snarled, hollering, "WIND SCAR!" The attack sliced through the air taking out most of the rest. Unfortunately, his attack still wasn't large enough to take out the others. Groaning, he slung the large fang over his shoulder only to run forward to hopefully take out the others, and possibly Kagura before she got away.

Kagura flipped open her fan, calling forth, "Dance of Blades!"

"Kagome..." the kit whimpered against her chest. Kagome looked up to see the blades coming at her and without thinking she put her barrier back up, with the taiyoukai inside.

Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes at the barrier. Damn girl, ran through his mind. He turned once the blades stopped coming and glared at the young miko. "Miko, drop your barrier so this Sesshoumaru may fight," he curtly said.

Kagome looked up at him suddenly and nodded. The pink barrier fell around them and she watched the demon lord run forward, and instantly she replaced the barrier so nothing could get to her. Like most of the other times, however, the barrier wouldn't work...

"Inuyasha!!!" was screamed into the air as Kagome was lifted, Shippo falling from her arms. She struggled to get free from the youkai's grasp but coughed when her air was blocked off. Panting she looked around to find the taiyoukai closest to her. Yeah, like he'd ever save her, but she had to try, "Sess... houmaru... sama pl... ease..."

The demon lord turned to the miko and with the roll of his eyes he cut through the giant youkai. Easily sheathing his sword, he caught the girl, set her on the ground, and went back to fighting.

"Kagome," Shippo said jumping into her arms. He could make out Inuyasha sending the 'wind scar' once more at the youkai. With nearly all the lesser youkai gone it was easier to get to the puppet Naraku.

Kagome set the kit down pulling out another arrow and once against stringing it inside of her bowstring. With narrowed eyes she willed the arrow to once again hit the mark. Unlike the others though she wasn't after the puppet, she was after Kagura... the wind witch.

The purification arrow soared through the air, splitting apart the air Kagura controlled. Before the arrow hit the lesser demons surrounded around Kagura and blocked the attack. Then as the Tetsusigia cut through the puppet Naraku, Kagura made her escape flying high above them happy that she could see another day.

Maybe he isn't after my life just yet, Kagura sighed as she sailed away.

Sesshoumaru glared at his brother. Though only a puppet, the mutt wasn't fit to destroy Naraku. He should have that honor; after all, he was the alpha of the pack. Inuyasha was nothing but dirt compared to him and yet the hanyou kept attacking him because of the miko.

What made the miko so special? Sure, she had lots of spiritual power and carried the Shikon around her neck, but she was still a girl. A girl that was always getting into trouble and couldn't protect herself 90% of the time, which was a major waste of time. Even Naraku's time was wasted upon the girl since anyone who was fast enough to get past the damn half-breed could get at her.

They were both worthless...

Inuyasha ran to Kagome, Tetsusigia once again sheathed. Upon reaching her, he grabbed her waist twirling her in a circle, smiling up at her happy face. Of course, when he began sniffing the air his happiness was broken.

Kagome stood there curiously when he put her down and then backed away holding his nose. What was his problem? They were just in a battle what did he expect, her to smell like roses. Well, she was pretty sure she didn't smell like roses but he could show a little more respect by at least staying near her. Damn, it looked like he was choking on the air itself!

"Kami, Kagome!" Inuyasha whined waving his hand in his face. "You need a bath, big time!"

"Inuyasha, why?" Kagome asked hurt laced in her voice.

Inuyasha looked up at her before saying, "Kami, woman, you smell like my brother!"

Sesshoumaru snorted, "This Sesshoumaru saved your onna, Inuyasha, you should be happy she carries my scent instead of none at all."

Inuyasha growled but then looked back at Kagome. Well, he was happy that Kagome was safe, but he wasn't to happy about her being saved by that... that son of a bitch.

"Inuyasha..." Kagome snarled. This seemed to attract Sesshoumaru's attention but she didn't mind since she was quite happy with him at the moment.

Inuyasha's ears flattened against his head and he turned to say, "Yeah... Kagome?"

"SIIIIITTTT!!" Kagome screamed causing the youkai to flinch. She huffed and said, "You should be happy he saved me Inuyasha! Sometimes, I swear it's like your trying to make sure nothing ever touches me! Big deal that I smell like 'your brother' after he saved my ass when you couldn't! Kami, Inuyasha, sometimes I wonder if I should just walk away and not look back!"

Inuyasha groaned against the dirt. His face was covered in it when he rose and then he glared at her. Sure, he loved her but she had no right to 'sit' him every fucking time he yelled, or said something she didn't like. Oh... and she had no right to 'sit' him when teaching that fucking kit a lesson.

After breathing calmly Kagome turned to Sesshoumaru and bowed saying, "Arigatou, Sesshoumaru-sama."

The taiyoukai merely nodded. Not that she expected a response but it would have been nice to get one. When he began to leave she looked over Inuyasha and said, "Well, before he leaves aren't you going to say something to him?"

"Fuck no," Inuyasha snarled.

Sesshoumaru stopped making Jaken bump into his leg. He could feel AhUn's aura flying toward them with Rin but his attention was elsewhere. Could she do it? Could she actually get the half demon to say 'thank you' to his older brother?

"Inuyasha, say it or I'll s-i-t until bedtime," Kagome growled.

"Fine," Inuyasha bit out before yelling, "Thank you, bastard!"

"Inuyasha, sit!" Kagome said when Sesshoumaru began walking once again, "I swear Inu, he saved me and you can't say one good word."

Inuyasha once again looked up at the woman and saw her disappointed look. Standing up he grabbed hold of her and hugged her small form, "I'm sorry Kagome... its just I... I can't say it to him."

"It's fine, Inuyasha, I don't think he'd care anyway," Kagome whispered against his chest.

"I love you, Kagome," Inuyasha whispered.

"And I you, Inuyasha," Kagome said sinking deeper into his embrace.

Dark brown eyes glared at the loving picture before them. How could he? He belonged to her, ever since her death, yet... here he stays saying that he loved another. He was hers, and she was going to make it so... even if she got killed in the end. After all she only needed to get that little reincarnation out of the way...

I'm going to be posting a dictionary in Chapter 39 once it comes out. Perhaps Chapter 40, demanding on their length. If you'd like to know more words then you already do then go ahead and skip to those chapters after June 7, 2006.
