InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ A Night Both Would Remember ❯ The Plan Progresses and Hakudoushi's Interference ( Chapter 5 )

Disclaimer:

Turtlequeen2: As promised, we are back yet again!

Sesshoumaru: This Sesshoumaru is bored of your slow human paces.

Vbollman: OMG! It’s Sesshoumaru!

Turtlequeen2: -sigh- Here we go again…Vbollman; I’d advise you not to aggravate him. I think you of all people will know what will happen if you irate him too much.

Vbollman: Damn! -pouts-

Sesshoumaru: -scoffs- A human knows the actions of I?

Turtlequeen2: -laughs nervously- We do not own Inuyasha. Rumiko Takahashi does however, which makes vbollman pissed since she wants to own Sesshoumaru…But beside the point, we only own the plot.

NOTE: I have not been in contact with vbollman all week so this is a solo chapter only by me, turtlequeen2. Hopefully it’s not worse than the other chapters…

The Plan Progresses and Hakudoushi’s Interference

Kagura arrived to the field where Kanna was awaiting her.

“I talked to Sesshoumaru,” Kagura stating. Kanna simply nodded and created a portal so they could travel back to Naraku’s castle. Kagura narrowed her eyes, not wanting to see her master’s face. But to have the plan to work, Kanna had to do her part too.

******At Naraku’s Castle******

When Kagura and her sister arrived, Kohaku intercepted them. The void-like human taijiya greeted them. “Master Naraku wishes to see you two,” Kohaku said, with no emotion. His eyes held no gloss of liveliness. Kanna and Kagura both nodded their heads, and headed to the room where Naraku was in.

Kagura entered and bowed low, hoping for the plan to work. With her bangs covering up her eyes, she glanced over to her sister.

“What do you want with me, Naraku,” Kagura asked with hostility in her voice.

“Hmm…feeling obedient today, are we,” Naraku sneered at his incarnation. Kagura glared up at him with her red eyes.

‘Bastard,’ was the only thought running through her head at that point.

“I need you to pay Inuyasha’s group a little visit,” Naraku continued. “I have another message I’d like to deliver.” His face, was cast over by the shadows of the late night, looking him look evil and devious. The only thing seen was the glimmer of his smirk.

“Very well Master,” she ground out, getting up.

“Ah, Kanna. I would like you to show me the group,” Naraku commanded. Kanna held out her mirror and with no effort at all, she located the group and shown him the current position of the group.

******With Inuyasha’s Group*******

“Keh! Hurry up,” Inuyasha shouted out to his companions. They all sighed and tried to keep pace with him. Kagome, on her bike, Shippou in the basket and Miroku and Sango on Kirara.

“Why are you rushing so much? Even at the same pace we’re going, Naraku will only be at his weak state on the night of the New Moon,” Kagome asked.

“We might be able to catch him off guard,” he only responded, running and jumping in between the tress. The group sighed deeply. Always with his rashness. Trying to keep up with his pace, they got tired easily. Once again, they pushed on, trying in vain to follow the bold hanyou.

******With Naraku’s Group******

“I see that the plan is going well,” Naraku smirked. “The fools are actually falling for my plan.” He laughed cruelly.

“It will fail,” Kanna whispered, coldly, looking straight through her master.

“What was that,” Naraku asked, raising his eyebrow.

“Planning to lure Inuyasha out with Sesshoumaru, together, shall cause failure,” Kanna said again, in her eerie monotone.

“Ah, you know of that already,” Naraku pondered. Kanna did not answer. She only showed him an image on the mirror with Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha overpowering him. Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha worked together to finally put an end to Naraku. The older Taiyoukai, using his Souyuuha and the hanyou using his Kaze no Kizu.

After the image subsided, Naraku was left growling in dislike. Kagura kept her smirk hidden from her master’s, now narrowed eyes. “You are certain of this Kanna,” he demanded.

“Yes,” was all the child-like void said in response. Naraku gave a grave nod.

“Very well then. Kagura, it will be your job to cut off Sesshoumaru. Oh, and be sure that the wolf prince gets the same treatment that his fallen comrades have gotten,” Naraku commanded, coolly. Kagura nodded and gave a slight smirk. “Go now.”

“Hai, Master Naraku,” Kagura answered, bowing and leaving as fast as her feet could carry her. If she stayed any longer, she would’ve laughed at how gullible the bastard really was. She couldn’t believe the that plan was actually working! She pulled out her feather and quickly got into the air outside of her master’s castle. As soon as she was at a safe distance away, she laughed out loud.

******With Sesshoumaru’s Group******

‘No matter what, you need to also keep your brother safe. He as well as you, need to survive.’

Sesshoumaru pondered on that last statement made by Kagura, for the longest while. He was traveling towards Naraku’s castle. Jaken and Rin were walking at his side next to Au-Un.

The stoic lord was still in confusion. Since when would he ever defend his brother’s honor? Was Naraku planning something evil to do to both of them? Not that he cared about his brother, but he would be the only one to kill him off. So if Naraku, in fact killed Inuyasha, then Naraku would be dead as well.

“Sesshoumaru-sama,” Jaken asked his lord.

The Taiyoukai kept on walking ahead, but his eyes glanced down at his servant, giving Jaken the look that meant that he had his attention.

“Should we rely on that wench’s words,” the imp wondered.

“No. We are merely seeing what kind of a trap my fool of a brother shall fall into,” Sesshoumaru smirked. Jaken cringed. He always knew that if his lord smirked, someone was going to die. Suddenly the Taiyoukai’s eyes narrowed a margin and he placed a hand on the hilt of Toukijin.

“Sesshoumaru-sama,” Rin and Jaken both mused.

“Jaken, take Rin and go,” Sesshoumaru commanded, not keeping his eyes off the center of the path. Jaken heeded his master’s words and immediately grabbed Au-Un’s reigns and dragged Rin and the two-headed dragon with him, into the woods.

After they were gone, Sesshoumaru called out,” State your business.”

“Heh. Sesshoumaru, still bothering to protect that ningen girl I see,” a boy’s evil voice called out to him.

“Hakudoushi, what do you wish to discuss with me,” Sesshoumaru snarled.

As if on cue, the white haired incarnation of Naraku appeared, floating in a barrier and holding his spear. “I think you know who I want to talk about. Kagura,” Hakudoushi smirked.

Sesshoumaru’s eyes grew colder and narrowed a centimeter. His face remained covered in his cold mask. “What of the bitch?”

“I have already known that she and Kanna are trying to throw off Naraku, by using you as part of the plan. To save Inuyasha and his little group and get Naraku out of the picture,” Hakudoushi replied smoothly. “As you may or may not have not noticed, I can read minds and Kagura makes it pretty evident, what she is thinking.”

Sesshoumaru’s eyes narrowed into slits of cold ice. He growled low in his throat as a warning. “So, you are scared to fight This Sesshoumaru?”

“On the contrary.” Hakudoushi let his barrier drop and raised up his spear, spinning it in his hand, getting into a battle stance.

“Humph. Prepare to die,” Sesshoumaru growled. The incarnation only smirked.

“Tell me Sesshoumaru: why do you care? Don’t tell me that you actually care for her,” Hakudoushi mocked.

“Ridiculous. You shall be dead for such an insult.”

“Such a pity. The woman who loves you receives no love in return. You really are a cold bastard,” Hakudoushi smirked. Sesshoumaru let his face freeze. He didn’t allow anymore emotion seep into it. He pulled Toukijin out of the place in his sash. He let the small part of his lips twitch up into a sneer. Toukijin lusted for Hakudoushi’s blood and it would not be denied it.

******With Inuyasha’s Group******

Inuyasha was currently growling at the wolf-youkai, Kouga, who ran into their group only minutes ago. He tried his usual annoying stunt of Kagome is his woman, which in turn made Inuyasha really ticked off.

“Keh! Get your hands off her, you wimpy wolf,” growled Inuyasha. “Or should I cut them off?” He pulled out Tessaiga.

“Oi, Inukkoro, I didn‘t notice you there,” Kouga smirked. He turned to Inuyasha, who was still hesitating from decapitating the stupid wolf.

“Inuyasha, OSUWARI,” shouted Kagome, sending the hanyou to the ground, shouting audible obscenities at everyone as he went. After Inuyasha got up, Kouga’s face turned stern.

“Hey, Inukkoro. I need to ask you something,” the wolf sad, suddenly turning serious. Inuyasha grumbled, sheathing his sword and leaning against the tree that was behind him.

“Why the hell should I answer it,” came Inuyasha’s reply.

“It has something to do with your brother,” Kouga responded, making the hanyou’s eyes widen.

“Sesshoumaru,” everyone in the group shouted at the same time.

“Yes, I think that was his name,” the wolf said, ignoring the shock from the Inu-Tachi.

“Why do you want to know about that bastard for?”

“I met him last night. Oddly enough, he protected that bitch, Kagura, and I thought you would know why he did it.”

“Sesshoumaru protected Kagura,” Kagome blurted out, her eyes widening. “I knew it,” she exclaimed out loud. Everyone else looked at her with confusion, making her sigh. “I think they like each other,” she explained.

“Oh don’t start that again,” Inuyasha groaned, rolling his eyes. “And, no, I wouldn’t know since we’re not exactly a close-knit family.”

“The bastard almost killed me. I was so close to killing that bitch too,” Kouga growled.

“Kouga-kun,” Kagome breathed with sadness. Inuyasha stifled his laughter at his rival’s expense, almost getting killed by his brother. Kagome glared back the hanyou, making Inuyasha only snort then turn his back to them.

“That is odd. Since when did they like each other,” Sango murmured. Nobody could say much about those two.

“We’re headed towards Naraku’s castle. Would you like to come along with us,” Kagome asked.

“NANI,” Inuyasha exclaimed, in shock. “Hell no is he coming!”

“Kagome, as much as I’d love to take up on your offer, I’ll have to decline it. I have to find my own way to Naraku and defeat Kagura, once and for all,” Kouga said with determination. Kagome nodded her head in understanding. “I’m gonna go now. I’ll see ya later Kagome,” the wolf shouted, running off in the opposite direction where they were going, the tornado of dust following after him.

“Bye Kouga-kun,” Kagome said cheerfully. Inuyasha mumbled under his breath about the two bakas. The rest of the group turned and started to walk off, to make camp. It was close to night. For the rest of the night, all they could think about was, Kagura and Sesshoumaru’s supposed “relationship.”
