Chapter 6

 

 

 

Shippou ran with all his speed in the direction Myoga lead him in. It had been two months since his father had given him his new haori and told him how proud he was to have him as a son. Myoga told Shippou that it was of the utmost importance that the young fox demon make it back to his father tonight. Tonight was the final night of his training. Tomorrow morning, Inuyasha would have fully embraced his demonic blood and obtained a new level of strength and power previously unattainable to him. Inuyasha wanted Shippou to watch over the girls while he was away that night. He also wanted his son there to see what his father had been able to do. It would be a great feat.

 

Inuyasha and Sango stood in the forest beneath the canopy of the trees. The girls had stayed back in the village they were staying in to let the couple be alone. Sango looked into the face of the half demon who had captured her heart. She touched his cheek with her hand knowing that tomorrow she would find jagged purple marks upon them.

“Inuyasha, I want to know what I should expect tonight,” Sango said.

“You will hear as Myoga coerces my blood out into the open. He will bring me to the brink, but this time no words can bring me back. You will be the one to do it. I don't know how, Myoga said your own instincts would guide you. He just said that you must stay downwind of me until that time. You will never be in any danger, Sango. I swear upon my life, no harm will ever come to you.”

“It just worries me that we might fail. I've lost so many people in my life. I don't want to lose anymore,” Sango said lowering her gaze to look at the ground.

“Trust me, I'm not going anywhere. You won't fail, Sango. You are the most capable woman I know, failure is not something you will ever know.” A gentle smile that only a select few have ever seen graced his lips as he gazed into the gentle eyes of the exterminator. He then furrowed his brow and slapped his neck, finding Myoga in his palm. “You're late.”

“A thousand apologies, Master Inuyasha. Master Shippou was slightly injured in their last battle and was not as fast as normal,” spoke the wise old flea.

A look of concern flashed over Inuyasha's face. “Is he alright?”

“He is fine, or will be by morning. Now, let us begin the last night of training.” Inuyasha nodded and knelt on the ground, placing his hands on his knees and closed his eyes as he cleared his mind.

“Lady Sango, I have a request of you while Inuyasha prepares himself,” said Myoga as he landed on her shoulder.

“What is it, Myoga?”

“Go behind that large tree and remove the armor you wear.”

Sango's eyes narrowed and she scowled. Her eyebrow began to twitch and her hand began to grow closer to smashing the small flea. “Say that again.”

“No, No, you misunderstand me. Leave your kimono on of course. Your armor hides your scent somewhat, and we will need all the help we can tonight. I meant no disrespect, My Lady,” Myoga stated bowing deeply and begging forgiveness.

Sango nodded in understanding and headed behind the tree to remove the armor. She emerged and stood behind Inuyasha, careful to remain downwind at all times. She knelt on the ground just as Inuyasha did, only her hands clasped together in front of her chest and she began to pray that this would all work out.

“Now, Master Inuyasha, listen only to my voice and no one else. . . . . “ Myoga began to drone on as he taunted Inuyasha's demon blood into awakening and coming forth. Sango sat wide-eyed as Inuyasha began to snarl and growl with increasing ferocity. She could not see his face, but new his cheeks now each were emblazoned with two purple marks. She found herself wondering how his eyes would look. Inuyasha trembled with the anger and rage Myoga had brought out. The flea then jumped to Sango's shoulder.

“Now, My Lady, go and make your way to kneel in front of Lord Inuyasha. You will know what to do from there.”

Sango nodded and slowly stood as she walked around to face the hypnotized half demon. He began to curiously sniff the air. He recognized the scent in front of him, but he could not name it. Only one word came to mind of whom the scent belonged to. This single thought ran through his mind, `Mate!'

Sango gazed into the face of Inuyasha. `He smells me, I know he does. Why won't he open his eyes?' Then she thought of something he'd mentioned before, of how he needed a better memory to bring him back from the trance. Sango slowly leaned forward and gently kissed Inuyasha on the lips. He did nothing at first, but then he growled low in his chest and returned the kiss, nibbling on her lower lip begging for access. She granted it and the kiss deepened. Sango finally broke apart from Inuyasha as she gasped for breath.

Inuyasha slowly opened his hazy eyes. As they began to focus on the form in front of him, he voiced the thought that raced through his mind, “Mate.”

Sango's eyes widened at the word he'd spoken. It was just barely above a whisper, like he was dreaming. Sango realized what he'd said and smiled, her own eyes beginning to cloud with emotion.

Inuyasha saw this and suddenly recognized what he'd said. His eyes shot open with clarity and he began to back-peddle away from her. “S-Sango! I-I-I di-didn't . . . . I mean I-I . . . .” Inuyasha stuttered, unable to find his voice. He swallowed and frowned. “Keh, why did you do that? You could have been killed by me, stupid wench.” Inuyasha said as he stood and crossed his arms.

`So he wants to play, then let's play,' thought Sango. She stood and walked to the tree where her armor lay, and picked up Hiraikotsu. “What did you call me, Inuyasha?”

“I called you a stupid wench. What were you thinking kissing me like that? I could have gutted you without even looking. Then the girls would hate me for sure. I swear, you women have no common sense at all.” Inuyasha said as he scowled and began to shake his head. He then heard an all too familiar sound and looked over to see Sango bracing herself to throw the giant boomerang at him. “Shit, this is gonna hurt,” he muttered and closed his eyes bracing for the impact.

Sango took the moment of him preparing for the blow to sneak up to him and place her arms around his neck. Inuyasha tensed and then relaxed as he opened his eyes. Sango marveled at the change they had. The gold was now brighter and flecked with red, giving his eyes a fiery appeal to them. “Are you saying you don't want me to kiss you ever again?” Sango asked with a smirk.

Inuyasha returned the smirk, “I never said that, wench.” He then closed the gap and they again kissed. This time, they didn't break apart for air, a voice brought them out of their reverie instead.

 

“I see you got rid of my pathetic copy, Inuyasha,” came a feminine voice from the tree-line. Both Inuyasha and Sango snapped their heads to face one of the last people they ever wanted to deal with right now.

“What do you want, Kikyo?” Inuyasha asked, the venom dripping from his every word. Inuyasha had his head lowered slightly, hoping that the darkness and his hair would hide his features from the dead priestess. He smirked inwardly. `Won't the bitch be surprised when she finally sees me,' he thought.

“I sensed your aura, however it's changed. Does this new play thing of yours have something to do with it?” Kikyo grinned impishly at the couple. “To think you'd have anything to do with someone like her, Inuyasha. You're such a disgrace.” Kikyo bored holes into Sango.

Inuyasha could smell both of their scents spike. Kikyo was jealous and hateful, while Sango was quickly becoming angry. Inuyasha decided that it was time to stop all the controversy and handle this. He would make sure his true feelings and intentions were well known, and a plan quickly formulated in his now more demonic and calculating mind. `It's time to have fun with the bitch.' “What do you mean, Kikyo?” Inuyasha made sure his voice held a hint of confusion in it.

Kikyo smirked and stepped towards the pair. Her eyes gleamed with maliciousness at the thought of driving them apart, making Inuyasha run straight into her arms. “It's simple, Inuyasha. She's using you. You're a replacement for the monk. She doesn't have him right now so she'll settle for you. You also stand a better chance at defeating Naraku and gaining her brother back for her. You are simply a tool to her. You're just a play thing that she will discard when you're no longer useful and she has what she desires.”

Sango was now enraged, Inuyasha could smell it. This is what he was hoping for. She clenched her fists on his shoulders, gripping his armor like she would fall if she let go. “How dare you say that about me!” Sango yelled. “I'm not the one who wanted Inuyasha to use the jewel to become human, simply so that I could lead a normal life. That was you! Your copy, as you call her, was no better. She wanted to have Inuyasha so she could prove she was better than you. You're took weak morally, not to mention already dead, and she's too weak physically and emotionally to be with someone like Inuyasha.”

Inuyasha couldn't help but feel his chest swell with pride. She was defending him. No one ever did that, except for his mother. Sango was truly something special and he would not give her up.

“Then what are your intentions with him, exterminator? You seem to know what it is that I and my copy want, but what is it that you want?” Kikyo coldly replied.

Sango opened her mouth but couldn't find the words she wanted. She was conflicted. She knew what her heart wanted. She knew what Inuyasha had said to her when she brought him out of the trance. She also knew that they'd decided to take things slow. Did she really want to admit that she had fallen for the half demon? She did, but was he ready to hear that? She swallowed and tried to speak again, willing her mouth to work this time. “I . . . . I-I w-w-want . . . .”

“See, Inuyasha? She is unable to justify herself. I am right. You know I'm right too. Just leave the exterminator who may turn on you and kill you, after all it is her job. Join me in Hell, Inuyasha. You did promise me.”

Sango's heart sank at hearing that. She knew he'd promised that. It was only a matter of time before the clay bitch returned for him. Was she about to lose Inuyasha today? She looked into the eyes of Inuyasha and pleaded with her own. She hoped that she was wrong and he would stay with her.

Inuyasha began to growl and stared fiercely at Sango. He removed his arms from her waist and took her arms off his neck. He took a step back and growled louder, scowling at her. `I can smell your sorrow, Sango. Please forgive me for all of this. I have to do it this way,' Inuyasha thought.

Kikyo smiled triumphantly. She took a few more steps towards Inuyasha. She was just an arms reach away, right where Inuyasha wanted her unbeknownst to Kikyo. “So, Inuyasha, what will you do with her? Will you wait for her betrayal or will you stop it now?”

Sango looked from Inuyasha to Kikyo and back. Inuyasha raised his right arm across his body. Sango knew he meant to back-hand her. She knew she could avoid it, but her body was betraying her and she couldn't move. “I plan to stop all the lies right now,” was Inuyasha's reply. Sango closed her eyes tightly and awaited the powerful blow.

She felt wind rush by her face and heard an impact along with a small shriek. Sango was puzzled. It wasn't her voice, nor was she hit. She opened her eyes to a sight she never expected. Kikyo lay on the ground holding her cheek. Inuyasha towered over her with his hands clenched at his sides.

Kikyo looked into the face of the new Inuyasha and was terrified. “What's happened to you?” she asked in a tiny voice.

“I've grown stronger than ever imagined. I've fully embraced my demonic blood, something I've been wondering about for some time. I'll never become human, especially for you. I've accepted who I am, and so has my future mate. As for my promise of going to Hell, I guess that sense I failed to protect you the first time you died breaking this promise won't be so bad. You can enjoy Hell alone, or with Naraku since I'll be sending him there as well.”

Kikyo slowly got to her feet. She didn't return his insults. She just called her soul collectors and left. She had lost, and if she tried to take him back again she felt certain he wouldn't hesitate in hurting her. She also knew that the exterminator wouldn't just hurt her, but probably kill her without remorse.

Inuyasha and Sango watched her leave and then turned to each other.

“I'm sorry she said all those bad things about you. I promise she'll never hurt you, Sango,” Inuyasha gently told her as he touched her cheek with his hand.

“Did you really mean what you said?” Sango asked with hope in her eyes.

“Every bit of it,” Inuyasha said without hesitation.

Sango lowered her head to hide the oncoming blush that was rising in her cheeks. “Including the part about me being your future ma-”

“C'mon, Sango, we better get back to the village. I'm sure the girls are tormenting Shippou and driving him crazy. You know how cute they think he looks,” Inuyasha said quickly to cut off her thinking. He started walking, leaving the stunned girl there. “Keh, you coming or not wench?”

“Huh?” was her intelligent remark.

“Let's go, it's getting late and you need sleep. You're only human after all.”

That comment got the reaction he was looking for. “Yeah, well this human could still kick your half demon butt, Inuyasha.”

“That a challenge, wench?”

“Not right now, dog boy. I'm sure Shippou needs us to save him,” she waved off his comment and gathered her things before joining Inuyasha as they walked back in comfortable silence to camp. They enjoyed their bantering back and forth. It was a game to them. They smiled while they walked and Inuyasha put his arm around Sango's shoulders. She in turned sighed and placed her head against him as they found the hut where a lot of noise emanated from.

 

The couple walked into the hut to find Shippou being suspended by Shiori in her aura barrier while Shina flew fireballs around him. Shippou was screaming and yelling at them.

“When my father gets back, you two wenches will be in trouble. Let me out of here now and he'll go easy on you.” Shippou struggled in vain to slash through the barrier with his sword. He growled in frustration, “I swear you wenches are so DEAD when I get out of here.”

Inuyasha smirked and inhaled deeply before bellowing at the top of his lungs, “WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN HERE?!”

Shiori immediately dropped the barrier and Shina extinguished the fireballs. Shippou met with Inuyasha's old friend the ground with a loud thud and began to mumble into the floor as his father had done so often.

Shippou sat up rubbing his nose and looked at his father. He surveyed the others in the room and found Sango to be very happy while the two young girls were slightly terrified. Shippou couldn't help but smirk as he stood and dusted himself off. “We weren't doing anything, father. They were just showing off their abilities to me since I hadn't seen them yet.” The girls quickly glanced to the young fox demon and look relieved.

“Keh, guess we'll never keep them from flirting with you. I guess that's another thing I'm thankful for since you travel with the other group more than us. I'd hate to see them have to fight over you.” Inuyasha smirked at his son, who returned the same devilish grin while the young half demon girls blushed crimson at being figured out.

“By the way, father, you look very powerful and commanding.”

“Yeah, Inuyasha. Menacing too,” Shina added.

“I think so too, Inuyasha,” Shiori piped up.

“Alright everyone, that's enough praise for one night. You three should have been in bed a long time ago. Let's get some rest,” Sango spoke with a motherly tone to the three children as they all prepared for bed. The next day would be a long day of traveling for all of them. Shippou needed to return to his group and the rest would travel on looking for strong opponents.

 

 

 

The next morning Shippou took off in the directions his group had been traveling. Inuyasha and his pack of females headed for a nearby forest where a fierce scorpion demon supposedly lived. It had been tormenting the village nearby for a long time and was killing off all the animals. They decided it would be a good chance to try out the new abilities of the girls so they would take up the fight alongside Inuyasha and Sango. Everyone was eager to see Inuyasha's improved skill as well.

 

As soon as they entered the forest, Inuyasha smelled the demon. He was amazed how much his senses had increased and how honed they were. He was able to pinpoint the location of the scorpion demon exactly, even though it was beneath the ground waiting for prey.

“What's the plan, Inuyasha?” Sango inquired.

“Shiori stays back, hidden preferably, and uses the aura barriers for all of us. Shina will stay back to make sure she's protected and throw fireballs. This is gonna make you a target, so don't either of you get stupid and lose concentration. Got it?” Both girls nodded. “You and I, Sango, will attack it. You ride Kirara as usual and I'll sharpen my claws on the bastard. Everybody got it?” Nodding all around and a mew from Kirara meant the plan was accepted.

The group crept towards the clearing. Inuyasha then jumped in the air and landed. The ground erupted as the scorpion demon sprung for it's prey, but Inuyasha leapt out of the way and swiped with his claws, slashing one of the claws of the scorpion. Inuyasha realized they were hard as stone, but his claws had been able to carve deeply into them still. Hiraikotsu flew towards the demon, but he swatted it away making Sango chase it down. Several fireballs flew at the demon engulfing it in flame. Screams of pain erupted from the beast and it lashed out at the girls. Sango quickly jumped in between them and the aura barrier repelled it.

“You girls need to be careful,” scolded Sango.

A feral roar was heard causing all to flinch and glance over to see Inuyasha clawing at the beast and dodging it's every move. His speed couldn't be matched by the scorpion and it began to get enraged. Sango and Kirara flew back into battle and Sango released Hiraikotsu again. It sliced one of the claws off causing the scorpion to bellow with pain and anger. Hiraikotsu was flying back to Sango when the scorpion swung it's tail and knocked Sango and Kirara to the side. The flying boomerang sped towards Shiori and Shina

“Lookout!” screamed Shina.

“AHHHHHHH!” shrieked Shiori.

The girls ducked out of the way as the weapon embedded into the ground behind them. Inuyasha saw this and quickly sprinted over to make sure they weren't hurt. This proved to be a mistake as the scorpion demon had turned on the unprotected Sango.

Sango was laying face down from when she'd been thrown from Kirara. She turned over in time to see a black stinger speeding towards her. There was no way she could avoid it. She did the only thing she could in such a dire situation; screamed. “Inu-” the rest was cut off as the stinger impaled her stomach injecting her with poison. Inuyasha turned to see her attack and immediately jumped for her with all his strength.

“Iron Reaver Soul Stealer!” he yelled as he clawed at the stinger. Inuyasha quickly cradled Sango in his arms.

She looked up into his face. She placed her hand on his cheek and began to whisper to him. “Inuyasha . . . . I . . . l-love . . . you . . . .” Sango then fainted.

A deep and rabid growl erupted from Inuyasha. He gently put Sango down and turned to face the scorpion demon. He saw Kirara and countless fireballs hitting it. Inuyasha grabbed the hilt of Tetsusaiga. It pulsed in his hand, acknowledging his new power. He withdrew the fang sword and transformed it. The sword was in it's red form as a result of Inuyasha's blood. “Everyone get back, this asshole is going down.” The winds began to swirl around the blood-red blade as Inuyasha leapt to the air with the sword over his head. “WIND SCAR!” he hollered as he swung the weapon down and unleashed the powerful attack. It was three times stronger than before and tore the rock-hard demon to shreds. He sheathed Tetsusaiga and ran to Sango. He picked her up in his arms and turned to Kirara. “Take the girls and head to Kaede's village. I'll be off ahead. Hurry up.” He commanded as he sped off.

`Please be okay, Sango,' Inuyasha thought as he tore through the woods with his new found speed. He pushed himself with everything he had knowing she didn't have long. He found the village a few hours before dusk and ran in, ripping the curtain off in the process. He startled the old woman as she jumped from her position on the floor.

“Inuyasha, what is the meaning of this?” she demanded.

“No time, Sango was poisoned by a scorpion demon. Help her.” He said as he placed the limp young woman on the ground.

The old priestess began working immediately. “Inuyasha, please go collect some herbs for me.” She gave Inuyasha a list and he set off. He returned shortly and they began to treat her. After a few hours, it was done and she would be fine. “Rest is all she requires now, Inuyasha. Why don't you sit and tell me of your journeys while we wait for her to awaken.” Inuyasha nodded and began his story, while Kirara and the girls showed up some hours later.

 

 

Elsewhere, the shard collectors were sitting at camp when a very weary Shippou walked into camp. He was exhausted and panting heavily. The sweat poured off his face and he collapsed near the fire.

Ayame sprang up and brought him some water. “Here, Shippou. Drink this.”

Shippou drank greedily and sat down against a rock.

Kouga recognized a new scent on the young demon that was familiar, but very peculiar. “Hey Shippou. What's that scent on you? It's like Inuyasha but it's more demonic. It doesn't smell like a half demon scent at all.”

Kagome and Miroku had a look of dread on their faces. “Please tell us, Shippou. Did Inuyasha transform again? Is Sango alright?” begged Kagome.

“Keh, he didn't transform. He embraced his blood, he's now more than just a half demon. He's stronger than ever and more powerful than anything. None of you could stop him,” Shippou said beaming with pride in his father's accomplishment.

“That would be what I smelled on the wind earlier then,” stated a cold voice from the darkness.

All heads turned to see Sesshomaru step from the shadows. “I smelled his scent heading towards the old priestess' village with amazing speed, and I believe that other female was with him. His scent was that of his full demon form, but somehow it was different. That would explain it completely. It appears my half brother has done what I never thought he could. He may yet be worthy of being my father's son after all. We shall see.” With that, the demon lord left back into the shadows.

The group looked around at each other, except for Shippou who sat on the ground with arms crossed smirking.

“If Inuyasha and Sango are headed to the village, do you suppose that she's hurt?” Miroku asked with fear in his voice.

“I don't know, Miroku,” answered Kagome.

“We'll head there at first light,” Kouga said.

“Let's get some rest then,” Ayame suggested.

The next morning they left on the two day trip to the village.

 

It had been two days since Inuyasha had arrived at the village carrying Sango. The poison had worked out of her system and her strength was returning. Kaede was currently out gathering herbs with the girls and Kirara, leaving Inuyasha and Sango alone.

“Sango, I've been meaning to ask you something,” spoke Inuyasha.

“Yes?”

“Do you remember what you said right before you passed out?”

Sango furrowed her brow in concentration. Suddenly her eyes widened and her face tinted with pink. “Y-yes.”

“Did you mean it?” Inuyasha focused his fiery eyes upon hers demanding the truth. He could smell the lie if she tried. Right now, he needed to be sure of a few things.

Sango couldn't find her voice. She simply nodded as she stared into his eyes.

Inuyasha closed the gap and gently put his arms around her in a loving embrace. “I love you too.”

Such was the scene when the Kaede and the girls entered the hut. Nothing was said and she went about tending to the herbs.

Inuyasha jerked towards the door of the hut, which he'd repaired without complaint already. He sniffed the air and growled.

“What is it, Inuyasha?” Sango asked as she got to her feet behind the half demon.

“Is it trouble?” Shina asked.

“What shall we do?” questioned Shiori.

“There won't be trouble if we get out of here soon. It's the other group, they're headed this way. Grab the provisions and let's move. We don't have much time.” Inuyasha gruffly commanded.

Everything was gathered and Kirara and Inuyasha were fitted with packs. The girls then mounted the demon cat and prepared to take off, when a noise behind them halted their movements. The noise was a voice, calling to them. It was female and joyous, two things which fueled Inuyasha's anger at that moment.

“INUYASHA! SANGO!” screamed Kagome.

The others stopped running when they saw the angered look on Sango's face as she sat cradled bridal style in Inuyasha's arms. His back was to the group.

“Inuyasha, wait. We need to speak with you,” came Miroku's voice. Sango gripped onto Inuyasha's chest plate. She looked into the face of her love and saw anger and hatred there.

“Just listen to them, will ya?” asked Kouga.

The young half demon girls looked at the group and each other, then to their sworn protector. He gently turned his head to stare at him. The look on his newly transformed face made all the faces staring at him pale. The two humans sank to the ground as their legs gave out. The two wolf demons stepped back, fear dripping from their scents much to the enjoyment of the ascended half demon. His glare focused on each of them, save Ayame and Shippou. He finally glanced at Ayame and a look of pity flashed over his eyes. He then turned his head and bounded off into the woods followed by Kirara.

As the group stood there watching as they took off, they each had different emotions surging through them. Shippou was proud of his father and the effect he had on the others. Ayame was awed and humbled by his new power. Kouga was terrified of what this Inuyasha was capable of. Kagome was heartbroken knowing Inuyasha was never coming back to her and she'd forced him to become a monster. Lastly Miroku was worried how safe Sango was with Inuyasha. All of them, however, were wondering why Shiori was with them and who the other girl was. They also wondered what the future held for all of them, and if Inuyasha's revenge would be as severe as they suspected.
