InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Distorted Reality ❯ The city of the dead ( Chapter 7 )

 

(Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha)

 

Her eyes were fixated on the child in her arms. Her lips murmuring soft Latin. A tongue Inuyasha did not know. “She is blind.” Inuyasha's face turned his, ears perked. “What the hell did you say?” “She cannot see him, she only knows this is her child and you are her mate by your auras.” The boat lurched as it met solid ground.

 

“The city of Dis. The forgotten, foreboding…hell's finest in all their obliquity!” Virgil stood on the black ash sand and pronounced their arrival. Kagome glided out of the boat. Her feet nary touching anything. And so they walked. The philosopher and his band. A hanyou, a hanyou-miko and the child born of the discerned chaste. Something ripped there from the pages of homer himself.

 

A loud wailing and uprising of tongues surrounded the group. “Banshees.” Barely clothed the women floated down from the blood and dirt painted sky. Reeking of lust and things vile. Inuyasha held the bile down in his gullet, afraid to invoke the wrath of something in this godforsaken place. “Virgil! Another you have cursed us with. Have we not already shown you what will become of you if you keep helping these people?”

 

“Aye I have seen. And o'er everything I have seen I continue to do this.” “HE will show no pity for you. You have fallen from the grace of angels the day you parted your mother's womb.” Virgil laughed bitterly.

“And you have been as such since you were vomited from the dreams of lonely men.” They hissed; bat like wings erupted from their backs.

 

“We should eat you're guests, the ones alive will heat the battered flames with their screams.” A clawed, calloused and burned hand reached for Heiwa through Kagome's arms. The miko's face turned suddenly. “Operor non tactus meus parvulus.” Her voice was calm as just like Heiwa a blinding light flew forth and let loose the demons upon her spawn.

 

“A priestess! In the bowls of hell?! Oh yes Virgil, you will face reckoning for this.” The flew from their perches and took off towards the sky. Kagome put her head back down. “I would like to go home.”

Inuyasha nodded and knelt down on his haunches. “Get on.” Kagome traced fingers over his back, her hands now her eyes.

 

“You want me to ride you?” “Yes wench now get on.” A sense of familiarity struck Kagome. “Does she not remember me?” Inuyasha kept his face low, scared of the tears that threatened to fall. “Yes.” But when Kagome's thighs settled on his back there was something that told him all was not at a loss.

 

“Come now, for night will settle and all will become like…” Virgil stopped. His eyes trailed over to a building fire off in the midst. “There is where we shall go.” Inuyasha looked puzzled. “Is that the way to where ever we're going?” “The sea of Ardence? No, but I sense more harmful things over that way. If we go towards the flames we are sure to find aid there.”

 

“That makes no sense.” “Follow me.” The black haired male quipped ignoring Inuyasha's final comment.

The breathing of two souls on his back kept his mind on track. Something was beginning to ebb behind his mind.

 

Yes, there it was. Growing like a heated flame. He tampered it down. “Inuyasha I know you feel it.” His demon side invoked. “I am not a beast” “ I beg to differ.” Inuyasha stumbled. Before his very eyes stood the image of all he'd ever feared.

 

Himself. In his demon form he stalked around himself. Useless banter annoying his senses. Virgil stood between them. “Be gone beast!” The demon smirked. “Oi, what makes you able to tell me where to go? Are you not in hell with me?”

 

“You know not of which you speak.” Kagome stood from Inuyasha's shoulders. The demon grew lustful and latched himself on Kagome's lithe frame. “ Have you come back to your master bitch?” Kagome turned her head presenting her throat. Submission.

 

“Kagome, no.” The hanyou's eyes widened as he watched himself lower upon Kagome's neck a pair of fangs, Claws gripping her belly possessively. Virgil remained passive and sighed heavily “You are a foolish one.” The demon flew back as Heiwa stood 5 feet away. “EGO MUST SERVO!!” The child's eyes were a blood red now as he lower his hands and walked towards his father.

 

He offered his tiny hand to Inuyasha's. The hanyou glanced over at Kagome. “I've seen him before...”

AN: You will see why Inuyasha suddenly acts like that and splits. I feel as if I am missing something. Let's just say that it's now loosely based on the Inferno.
