InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ arrival ❯ is it over ( Chapter 5 )

Aria lets loose a blue fireball hitting Ryuu in the chest but not hurting him much.

" You think that will stop me? I know have the power of over a thousand miko's plus the soul of the protector of the shiokon no tama, I am invincible!"

" No one is invincible! I will destroy you!"

She leaps at him biting into his back her claws ripping into his flesh. Ryuu lets loose a growl of annoyance and tries to shake her off. His tail whips around and crushes her in its tip grip. Aria screams then feels herself falling she regains her control and looks up to see his tail had been ripped apart by a large boomerang. Glancing up she see Inu Yasha and his friends attacking Ryuu.

They would risk their lives but why?

" Bastard! I'm going to rip you apart piece by piece for hurting Kagome!"

For the miko?!

Aria turns her gaze to where the lifeless girl is lying, her eyes narrow she can sense a pulse of energy coming from her.

She's still alive! Her energy it seems to be responding to something but what?

Arai jumps out of the way of a back energy beam and let's loose her own. Inu Yasha and co. are still attacking the large dragon demon but are hardly making a dent.

Inu Yasha closes his eyes he can feel the dark energy swirling around him he can see the wind scar.

" Sango! Miroku!"

They jump away just as Inu Yasha release a large amount of energy. It slices the dragon's left shoulder in half.

" You will regret that hanoyu!"

He lunges for Inu Yasha snaking out and wrapping him in his coils and begins to slowly squeeze the life from him.

Kagome….

A bright pale blue light slowly surrounds the dragon youkari.

" What is happening?!"

Shippo begins to panic and back away from Kagome's glowing body.

" That wretched human is doing this?! How can this be she is dead!"

The pale blue energy is flying from his body now and surrounding Kagome's, which is now floating a few feet off the ground.

Aria watches with interest as the girl begins to absorb her soul and energy back into her body.

She's calling it back! She is willing her soul and energy to come back to her but there is another energy too.

Aria glanced around searching for the other energy that is calling the miko's to awaken. Her gaze stops when it falls on the hanoyu. His energy is swirling around him reaching out towards the fallen miko. A huge blast of energy causes her to look away, after a few seconds she looks back to see the girl floating back down to the earth her.

" She took back her soul and power but how?! She's just a worthless human!?"

Inu Yasha growls and raises tessiaga slicing the dragon's body causing him to roar in pain and fling the inu across the cavern. Inu Yasha lands safely on the ground and rushes over to Kagome.

" Kagome?"

He leans over her his amber eyes softening as they search her face for signs of life.

" Kagome?"

" Inu Yasha? I can hear Inu Yasha calling me. He sounds sad though."

" Please don't leave me Kagome…"

" Inu Yasha!"

Kagome eyes begin to glow and she blinks a few times and finds herself staring up at a pair of amber ones.

" Inu Yasha…"

He grabs her in a huge hug not wanting to let her go making Kagome blush slightly.

" Inu Yasha?"

He moves away from her a little and looks down at her. He doesn't like to admit it but he felt his heart shatter when he saw her lifeless body. He knew then that he needed her wanted her. He liked how she laughed, smiled, the way she looked when she got upset or angry. How she always tries to make him laugh, he missed her the thought of never having her by his side or never hearing her say his name.

He gazed down into her gray blue eyes his hand brushing against her face, her cheeks turning a little pink.

" Inu Yasha?"

" Kagome I…"

" Kagome!!!"

Just then a brown ball of fur latches onto her neck causing Kagome to gasp and pull back. She lifts the little kistuse off her and cradles him in her arms.

" I'm glad to see you again too."

She says to the little fox cub but her gaze never leaves Inu Yasha's.

" You will suffer dearly for what you have done to me human!"

Inu Yasha growled and stood up preparing to protect Kagome but Aria landed before them. She was badly injured from the last attack but now that he no longer had the miko's power she could use her last resort. She flapped her wings and stood over Inu Yasha and company.

" Protecting the humans sister. That will be your downfall!"

" Wrong brother it is my strength!"

She hunch down her wings raised perfectly straight the black stripe on her back glowing slightly at first then more brightly. Her eyes are now a deep red and a white light surrounds them swirling around them. Slowly Aria is lifted off the ground her body glowing then white light explodes around them washing over everything.

~~>>>

" Sesshoumaru-sama what is that?"

The demon lord turns to see what the child is pointing at, in the distance a huge blue energy seems to engulf the tops of the mountains. It quickly spreads and sweeps over the surrounding area. Then as quickly as it came the light fades and only a massive wind remains sweeping over the lands.

Rin giggles as the wind whips through her hair lifting her off the ground then softly placing her back like a leaf in a gentle breeze. The demon lord gently sniffs the breeze he can smell her scent mixed in with that of the hanoyu and his friends and the one called Nuraku.

" My Lord?"

Jakken looks up at his master who is growling slightly. He turns back towards the mountains and sees a bright white light burst fanning out and passing through everything in its path.

Rin runs and grabs on to Sesshoumaru's pant leg trying to hide herself from the energy blast. He turns slightly and shields the child taking the full force of the blast, however instead of getting hurt of being pushed backwards he feels a slight warm feeling pass through is body followed by a sudden sharp pain.

" Ah! M-my Lord!"

He turns his gaze towards his servant who is pointing and stammering at him.

" What."

" M-my Lord y-your"

Growing impatient he growls at the toad.

" Yourarmhasgrownback!"

He quirks his eyebrow at the disgusting toad, did he hear right? He glances down to find his left arm has indeed grown back. He lifts it and flexes it a couple times before turning back towards the mountain.

~~~>>>

Kagome groans and moves to sit up but something heavy forces her back down. She opens her eyes to find Inu Yasha lying on top of her. Angry and a little embarrassed she goes to push him off but stops.

He shielded me…Inu Yasha…

Gently she sits up and brushes the bangs from his face.

" Inu Yasha.."

He groans then shifts he slowly opens his eyes to find himself staring up at Kagome's smiling face. Her hand brushes against his ear making it twitch slightly.

" Are you all right Kagome?"

" I'm fine. What about you?"

Her fingers brush against his ear again causing him to shudder a little but. She had no idea how good that felt and how good it feels to just be near her like this. He inhaled her scent deeply before lifting himself from off her lap.

" What about the others?"

Inu Yasha scans the area for their friends. Miroku is lying against a rock with Sango lying against him. Smirking Inu Yasha scans the area and spots Shippo lying next to Kirara.

" They seem fine are you sure your ok Kagome?"

" I'm fine Inu Yasha, really."

Kagome is standing up brushing herself off but stops when she feels a hand brush her face. She looks up to see Inu Yasha is very close to her. His eyes a warm amber hue and they look somewhat sad but with something else swirling around in their depths. His hand brushes her face again and he takes another step towards her till they are only a fraction apart.

" Inu Yasha?"

She's not sure what he's doing but she's getting this really weird feeling in the pit of her stomach and they way he keeps moving his fingers across her face is causing her to blush.

" I'm sorry Kagome that I couldn't protect you. I'm sorry that I couldn't save you. I…"

" Inu Yasha…."

Kagome wraps her arms around him and buries her head in his chest as his arms wrap around her. He closes his eyes and sighs a slight smile playing at his lips. He really did like her even if he hardly showed it. He would have died if she were to have left him. He couldn't help the smile that was forming on his lips as she smiled up at him and hugged him.

Only Kagome

He thought as he embraced her to return the hug. The sounds of their friends waking up broke the two out of their daydreams. Kagome went to help Shippo while Inu Yasha searched the area.

" Hentai!"

*Smack! *

Miroku came to stand beside Inu Yasha; he had a few new bumps and a large red handprint on the side of his face.

" Lecher."

Inu Yasha said under his breath.

" So any sign of them?"

Inu Yasha's eyes scanned the area his nose sniffing the air suddenly his eyes narrowed and he raced off. A few minutes later the rest of the gang followed him. He had stopped a large dead tree. Dangling from the branches was an arm and a silver blue wing.

" She protected us and saved us."

Shippo began to cry and Kagome cuddled him close to her.

" I'm not surprised she wanted to die anyway."

" WHAT?!"

Kagome and the others looked at him in surprise.

" You couldn't feel it? Her anger and sorrow, her longing to die?"

They just shook their heads no.

" Feh! Humans."

" AA iiee! It moved!"

Yelled Shippo as he hides in Kagome's hair. They turned back to the hand, which was now gone.

" W-where did it go?"

Kagome starts to back up behind Inu Yasha who's just looking at his friends like they're all nuts.

Suddenly Aria drops out of the tree landing on the ground with a thud. She moans and lefts herself up blood dripping from her wounds. Her tattered and broken wings ruffle slightly in the wind. Kagome goes to help her but stops.

" Stay away from me."

" But you're injured and need help."

" Leave me alone."

" Let her be Kagome can't you see she wants to die."

"Inu Yasha she's hurt we can't just leave her!"

" Kagome's right she helped us and we have to help her!"

" I agree with Inu Yasha, let her be Sango."

" Houshi?"

They turned when they heard her move again. She was standing now leaning over clutching her stomach her wings drooping and bleeding.

" I do not deserve to live my whole existence was to kill my brother * tears roll down her cheeks * I have committed the worst crime, the crime against my family I took my brother life."

" But he was killing people and he killed…."

" It does not matter even if he was tainted I should not have fallen so easily so now I must join them."

Tears' sliding down her face she slowly and painfully begins to flap her wings and ascend into the sky. She glances down at them one last time wishing them the best hoping for their happiness then disappears into the clouds.

~~~>>>>

"Sesshoumaru-sama! Rin found an angel!"

The demon lord glances over at the energetic human bouncing around him wonder what she's babbling about now. Sighing he follows her to a small clearing resting against a large willow tree he can see the tip of a sliver and blue wing. Curious he steps closer and walks around the tree.

Her!

She's lying with her back to the tree her wings spread out broken and bloody, she's covered in dried blood her eyes slightly opened but looking rather dull.

" Rin want Sesshoumaru-sama to save the angel. Please!"

He still stares down at the `angel' as the human girl Rin calls her.

She does look like an angel.

He narrows his eyes he can see the pallbearers of the dead moving towards her. He pulls out his sword and slices them down in one swift movement. The wounds and blood start to fade away.

Aria can see her little brother hear his laughter floating to her ears. She smiles to herself knowing soon she will be with him that soon they will be together again. But he begins to fade and she can no longer hear him calling for her. She struggles against the light that is pulling her back she wants to stay with her little brother she does not wish to leave him again.

With a hard thud she finds herself propelled back into her own body. Slowly she opens her eyes and finds herself looking at a pair of warm brown eyes.

" Koji?"

" I'm Rin are you an angel?"

Aria slowly lifts herself up her wings twitching slightly from the sudden movement.

" Ooo!"

Rin races over and tugs on one of the feathers startling Aria her wings opening to their full width, the feathers lightly brush against the young girl making her giggle.

" Soft! Rin likes your wings!"

The demon Lord just stands there motionless watching the whole thing. After he used the sword on her she slowly woke up and breathed out a name. He growled slightly at that so she still is in love with that human or demon who ever he is. He wasn't sure why this bothered him it's not like he wanted her he didn't even know her. She did look like an angel though.

She looked even more so when Rin grasped her feather tugging on it causing her to gasp and spread her wings.

I wonder if they do that when she's excited maybe when she's mating?

He was picturing that when he heard the little girl Rin sob. He was by her side in an instant ready to attack and defend her.

" Rin no want the angel to leave!"

He stopped and relaxed a bit then looked up and found himself drowning in a pair of translucent pink eyes.

When Aria woke she almost believed Koji was right by her but when she looked closer she found it only to be a human girl. She sighed and stood up flexing her wings, she gasped when she felt someone tugging at them. She looked over to see the little girl playing with them and laughing.

Arching a brow she grazed her tips over the little girls face brushing her ear making her laugh again.

Angel, eh? Haven't been called that before. Usually its monster or devil.

She smiled when the child called her it again. The smile faded though when she though of how the child reminded her of Koji.

Brother…

She turned and began to walk away flapping her wings slightly to push the little girl away. She heard her cry out to her pleading with her not to leave. She turned around to explain but the words died on her lips because of what she saw.

He was standing in front of the girl ready to protect her but then relaxed when he saw she was in no danger. His gazed slowly slid over her making Aria feel awkward and uncomfortable. He was a god, his long white hair blowing slightly in the breeze his golden eyes and strong body. Aria gave herself a mental slap before turning away again.

She cried out in pain when she felt her wing being tugged on, instinctively she jerked them away and whirled around. The young girl was sitting on the ground still crying.

" Rin doesn't want * sob * the angel to leave * sob * did Rin do something * sob * wrong?"

She was looking up her brown eyes full of tears. Aria closed her eyes heaven help her, the little girl reminded her of Koji. She bit her lower lip trying not to remember but she could feel her chest constrict and the tears swell up in her eyes.

" Koji"

It was barely a whisper but Sesshoumaru heard it and he gave another low growl. Aria looked over at him. Why was he growling? She looked back down at the girl then knelt down next to her, her wings scooping her up and cradling her in them.

" Do not cry. I cannot stay with you I am not even supposed to be here."

" Rin no want you to leave."

" Rin is it? I am sorry but I cannot stay here."

She whipped away the child's tears then placed her back down her feathers lightly caressing the child's face. She turned and began to walk away.

" Where are you going."

She turned to see it was that handsome youkari that had spoken.

" I did not say you could leave."

" I do not need you permission."

He arched an eyebrow at her.

" If you wish to leave I will gladly return you to your previous condition."

He slowly unsheathed a sword holding it lightly at his side.

What the hell is he talking about?

She tilted her head her eyes gazing into his after what seemed like forever her eyes snapped open when she realized what had happened.

" You? You are the reason I `m still alive!?"

She growled her wings slanting slightly as she reached for her katana's. He raised his sword a slightly humor playing in his eyes.

" I see you wish to go back to your previous condition."

She charged him but he moved easily out of her way.

Shit! I used up all my energy killing my brother Ryuu. He's even stronger than me know, fuck!

He was behind her his sword scraping against her throat. She was glaring up at him growling slightly, which only seemed to make the humor in his golden eyes dance even more.

" Sesshoumaru-sama?"

They both looked at the little girl who was watching them her eyes pleading with him to let her angel live. Aria almost cried the sobs stopping in her throat. The child looked like the female version of Koji, her smile her the way her eyes shinned her energy and innocents.

" Very well."

She almost fell backwards when he let her go. She glanced back at him his sword was re-sheathed and he was staring at her with those hard golden eyes again.

" Yeah Rin has an angel to play with!"

She looks like Koji…I guess I could stay for a while it wouldn't hurt

~~~~>>>

" Oh! Please you must rest my lord."

My lord?

Slowly he opened his eyes he was staring into those of a young woman when he blinked again and tried to sit up she gently pushed him back down.

" You are injured and you should not move around so much."

He looked around he was in a village he glanced back over at the young girl it a slow smile spreading across his face.

" Please tell me where am I?"

" You are in my village my lord. We found you by the sea, you were badly hurt so we brought you back here."

" And who are you?"

" I am Saun, I am the resident miko."

He turned away from her a smile playing on his lips his eyes flashing red before returning to brown. This was definitely getting better.
