InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ arrival ❯ rescue ( Chapter 4 )

Kagome slowly opened her eyes, she tried to sit up but couldn't move she began to panic and squirm around trying to get free. She stopped when she heard someone laughing.

" Try all you want little miko but you won't get free."

Kagome glanced behind her too see the demon from earlier standing behind her his wings spread out behind him.

" Let me go now!"

" Now why would I want to let my dinner escape?"

Kagome paled slightly at that but only for a moment.

" Inu Yasha will come for me and when he does you'll be sorry."

He laughed again this time louder his eyes glowing a dark crimson. He was grinning as he made his way towards her. Kagome was watching him trying to find a way out of this mess but couldn't find one.

" Please that pathetic mutt couldn't beat me no one can beat the Demon King."

"Demon King?"

~~~>>

Aria and Inu Yasha were flying higher and higher in the sky.

" We're almost there I can smell that bastards stench!"

I will avenge you yet Koji that I promise you.

Inu Yasha glanced up at the girl carrying him she seemed to be lost in thought and it seemed like they weren't happy thoughts either.

" Who are you?"

" I already told you hanoyu, my name is Aria."

" That's not what I meant wench."

She growls slightly at him then glances down to see his eyes.

Trying not to think about what is happening to your miko eh.

" I came from the mother land, China approximately six hundred years ago. I had followed soldiers here and partook in the Great War, however my brother's insatiable appetite for blood and death was causing the war to be prolonged. He had made a bargain with another demon named Masouso."

"Masouso! That bastard!"

She looked down to see Inu Yasha's eyes glowing deep amber.

" Anyway I heard a great demon Inu stopped him and sealed him away. Not the case with my brother, the great demon dog didn't have enough energy left to stop him so his blood lust went on. He was especially fond of miko's * growl's * and hanoyu children."

Inu Yasha's ears twitched slightly another low growl escaping his throat.

" I used all of my energy to bind him it should have lasted for eternity but since I am awake as well someone must have broken the seal though I do not see who would have that much power."

~~***Flashback**~~~

Her brother standing holding Kagome and the others trying to fight off the oncoming demons while the girl, Aria attacks the other demon. A figure flashes through the trees…

~~~***End***~~~

" Nuraku"

"Who?"

" That fucking son of a bitch! I should have known he would be the one behind this."

" Who's this Nuraku?"

" A worthless human who sold his soul to be a demon in order to get the shiokon no tama."

" The jewel of four souls? But that is being protected by the miko Kikiyo… so that is how you got out dear brother."

~~~>>>

" Yes human you are in the presence of the Demon King Ryuu. Ruler of all of China and soon all of Japan and once I have you my miko then I will be complete."

Kagome begins to struggle again but it's no use the bindings will not give.

" Don't struggle you'll get tire yourself out and I want to hear you scream and see you struggle before your demise."

Kagome stopped and looked at him anger and fear showing in her eyes.

" You fucking asshole let me go!!!!! INU YASHA!!!!!!"

~~~>>

Inu Yasha's ear perked up and his gaze shot towards the mountains.

"Kagome!"

Aria followed the sound her gaze piercing through the mists and landscape. She could see a temple with a rather blue barrier around it. She blinked then looked down to see Inu Yasha with his ears back and growling even more.

" Nuraku."

A rather large gust of wind knocked Aria backwards almost dropping Inu Yasha. She looked up to see a young girl with blue hair riding a feather with a young girl all in white standing next to her holding a mirror.

" Kagura."

" Don't sound too happy Inu Yasha."

She glances up and looks Aria over then smiles.

" So this is the wench you traded that miko, Kagome in for eh?"

Inu Yasha growled and pulled free of Aria's grasp charging for Kagura.

Aria was watching the young girl in white she didn't like the feel she was getting from her. Deciding that she was a bigger threat than the other one Aria went after the young girl. She swooped down and landed in front of the girl.

" You don't seem to be worried at all that you might loose. I wonder why that is?"

The girl just stood there a blank expression on her face. Aria walked towards her with katana's drawn, she noticed a small light coming from the young girl but didn't stop.

Inu Yasha was getting the upper hand with Kagura.

" You don't seem to be doing so well bitch."

" Shut up mutt! * Stops and looks at kahana* Looks like your friend won't be in with us much longer."

"Eh?"

Inu Yasha glances over his shoulder to see Aria moving towards Kahana then being swallowed up in a bright white light. He can hear Kagura laughing behind him as he rushes over to where Aria is.

When the light fades it reveals Kahana standing there but she has a surprised look of pain on her face. Inu Yasha steps closer and notices a katana has pierced through her mirror and into her chest.

" Ignorant child! You think that would hurt me? Daughter of the blue phoenix and Ruler of the motherland?!"

" What?!"

Inu Yasha and Kagura are both a little surprised by that statement but it's Kagura who moves first she's charging at her ready to strike her down when Aria suddenly turns around and throws her other katana at Kagura landing it in her forehead. Aria slowly raises her hand palm out facing the sky; a huge blue energy ball appears with a pink energy crackling around it.

Her eyes turn to a dark crimson red and you can no longer see her pupils just red. She lets out a roar and the ball shoots up in a column of blue and pink energy, which comes crashing down and striking her katana's. The two demon girls cry out in pain as they are swallowed up by the energy blast. When it clears the two are lying on the ground and Aria is standing breathing heavily her eyes slowly returning to normal, she walks over and pulls out her katana's then turns towards Inu Yasha.

" Ready?"

Inu Yasha just nods and the two resume their chase.

~~>>

Kagome moans and tries open her eyes again. She winches from the sudden pain in her left shoulder and moans again. She doesn't remember what happened exactly but she knows it wasn't good. She tries a second time but all she sees is darkness. She can feel that she is less restricted as before but she still can't move and it's very warm.

" Ah! So you're awake. Good now I can begin."

A blinding white light suddenly assaults her eyes, she blinks a couple times and two red eyes come into focus. She rears her head back from him but he only laughs at her. She moves her head and takes in her surroundings; she's in the mountains more precise in a mountain. She can feel and see the steam rising looking down she screams; a huge lava pit is below her and she's hanging above it she screams again.

" I told you that I would hear you scream miko."

" INU YASHA!!!!! Let me go! INU YASHA!!!!!"

Ryuu only continues to laugh at her as she struggles to get free.

" Stupid miko do you think that hanoyu will come for you?"

" Do not take them so lightly."

Ryuu turns slightly to find the demon that helped him kneeling before him in a bamboo pelt.

" Nuraku! I should have known you were behind this!"

" So this is the miko that plagues you then? * Laughs * Then I am doing you a favor, ne?"

Nuraku didn't say anything but you could tell he wasn't happy with the thought of owing the other demon a favor. Ryuu turned his attention back to the young miko who was still trying to free herself.

" Struggle all you want but you won't free yourself and even if you do you'll just fall to your death."

Kagome stopped for a second then began to struggle again she would rather die in the lava then die at his hands. Ryuu just laughed at her and made his way over to where she was. His large black and silver wings holding him up, he smiled his eyes flashing black then back to red.

~~>>>

" Here! Kagome's here!"

Aria set Inu Yasha down and retracted her wings they made their way down the mouth of the mountain, the steam getting thicker the farther they go down.

" Nuraku…"

It came out as a low growl and Inu Yasha sped up.

They reached Kagome in time to watch as Ryuu began to suck the life and energy out of Kagome. He was leaning over her mouth close but not touching a light blue energy passing between them. Kagome's eyes were partially closed her head slightly bent to the side.

" Kagome!!!!!"

Ryuu pulled back stopping the flow of energy to see the mutt and his sister charging towards him. He jumped back avoiding the blow landing safely a few feet away.

Inu Yasha charged him again but he was too fast. Aria was watching this her eyes narrowing to blood red slits. She jumped forward her wings spreading out behind her and sliced the ropes holding the miko called Kagome.

She brought her to a ledge and laid her down, she could tell that the miko was almost gone her power and life drain from her. She glanced back to see Ryuu slice through Inu Yasha sending him flying into the rocky walls.

~~***Flashback**~~~

" Koji! Where are you little brother?"

" Aria help me!"

She races through the forest the grass barley touching her feet, she skids to a halt when she comes to a small clearing. Her little brother is pinned against a large rock by blue energy shards. He lifts his head blood dripping from his body cuts covering his face his perfect blue eyes shining with tears.

" Sister…"

"KOJI!!"

Aria moves towards him but a figure dashes in front of her and she watches as her little brothers head falls to the ground before her. He mouths the word sister before his eyes turn a dull blue. She can feel her heart breaking in her chest the blood draining from her body. She glances up when the sound of laughter fills her ears.

" Why do you morn over that useless pathetic hanoyu? He was a disgrace to us."

"Why brother why did you kill him? He was just a child he was our brother."

" NO! He was no brother of mine. That slut we called mother betrayed us loving a human forgetting out great father and bearing that _human _ a disgusting creature she dared to call our brother. So I got rid of the accident and the cause of it."

" Mother? You killed Mother!"

" She was a disgrace, loving a human. Worthless creatures though not entirely some of them have their uses like the miko's they are quiet useful."

" Bastard!!! You will pay for killing my brother!!!!"

She charges for him but he dodges her and disappears into the night sky. Aria can only stand there and stare at her little brother's dead body before her.

~~~End~~~

Crying out in rage a blue white light engulfs Aria her wings ripping out her back her eyes completely turning red. When the light fades a huge blue silver cougar is standing before them its wings spread out a dark black stripe running down its back. It lets out a roar and jumps over towards Ryuu and Nuraku. Inu Yasha has pulled himself out of the hole and is looking at her in awe.

" Take care of your miko inu."

Inu Yasha snaps out of his daze and rushes towards Kagome, he kneels down beside her and lifts her face to him. Her eyes are a dull gray-blue and her skin is cold and white her lips which used to be a lush pink are now tinted blue.

" Kagome please wake up! Kagome…"

Inu Yasha brushes the hair from her lifeless eyes then turns back round to face the bastard who did this to her.

The two are fighting but Aria is the only one transformed. Ryuu is managing to dodge her attacks without any difficulty.

" You seem to have gotten a little better since the last time dear sister."

* Growls *

A black mist begins to rise around them making the lava begin to boil even more. Inu Yasha turns his head in time to watch as Nuraku comes towards him slicing his chest.

" You should pay attention Inu Yasha."

" You fucking bastard! I'll kill you for hurting Kagome."

Inu Yasha stands up and readies tessiaga as Nuraku comes back around again but his attack is blocked but the tessiaga.

Ryuu's laughter stops as a black light surrounds his body his wings shooting straight out. When he emerges from the black light in his true form his black scales shinning in the magma's light his blue silver mane billowing in the steam. His wings are spread out and his tail whips out striking the inside of the cave causing rocks to fall.

" Kagome!"

Inu Yasha leaps forward to save Kagome; he grabs her hand hanging on to the ledge with tessiaga. He pulls her close to him and tries to pull himself up back.

" I couldn't have planed this any better myself. I'll get rid of both of you at once."

Inu Yasha's golden eyes glow deep amber as he looks up at Nuraku grinning down and them. He leans down and places his hand on Inu Yasha's a dark mist swirls around their hands eating away at the hanoyu's flesh.

I will not cry out I will not drop Kagome. I will never abandon her!

A huge black and blue blast heads straight for them, knocking Inu Yasha loose. Him and Kagome plummet towards the swirling red magma

"Kagome…"

Inu Yasha grips her tighter and closes his eyes.

"Oof! What the hell!?"

He opens his eyes to see Sango above him, she's wearing her demon exterminator clothing. He looks down to see Kirara has caught him and Kagome.

" Inu Yasha! Kagome!"

He looks up to see Miroku and Shippo on the lip of the mountain. He jumps off Kirara and lands gently on the ground next to them. Still holding Kagome he walks a few feet away and places her gently on the ground. Shippo rushes over to her and begins to try and wake her.

" Kagome! Wake up Kagome!"

Tears slide down the kistuse's face as he jumps up and down on Kagome.

" What's happened to Kagome Inu Yasha?"

" That fucking bastard stole her soul!"

The three stare at the inu looking angry and shocked by what he just said. Miroku is the first to speak.

" We must hurry and get it back then before it gets too late to save her."

The three leave Shippo to take care of Kagome while they head towards the battle.
