InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ For the heart of a demon ❯ Chapter 5 ( Chapter 5 )

For the heart of a demon

Chapter five!!!! Moving along now, no? Good times. Oh yeah, disclaimers not owning stuff and whatnot. Adding it now. Sue me, you'll get about five bucks.

Naraku was wide eyed for a moment. `She is, was the human girl Kagome. Why she knew hanyou well, traveling with him, and she was human for sixteen years- demon now, miko barrier." He turned to Kagura who was just as confused. `And if she kills Kikiyou she will be killing herself, since she has part of her soul. What the hell happened to Kagome?'

"If you were not so brute, you would have known I to be behind you half breed."

Inuyasha jumped to the side holding Kikiyou with him. "Damn bitch."

"As you can see I am. I will tell you now, my sword and your sword can not harm each other. If you wish to find out though you know I am not lying to you, you may attempt to cut me, use the back lash wave or whatever you deem fit within your small mind."

And, just like Inuyasha , he attacked with no success. "Where did you get that sword from Noriega."

"Japan."

Angered, Inuyasha attacked the black inu every possible way he could think of. Kikiyou soon began to shoot her arrows filled with purification energy, and one cleanly went through Noriega's right shoulder. Naraku and everyone else noticed unsure of what to think. Kikiyou spoke.

"Explain to me how even if you are still miko a purified arrow could go straight through you with no blood."

Noriega smiled. She squatted from one of Inuyasha's attacks allowing herself to be clawed in order to grab his arm and purify him to his human state. She then slashed across his throat messily killing him. Avoiding angry miko arrows, Noriega attached Tetsiga on her side. She went behind Kikiyou holding her up by her hands with dark energy and spoke to all.

"I grew tired of waiting. Have someone not effected by the undead miko kill her now." Noriega took the shards from her neck with her tail and then healed the slash she had received on her face. "One not of her in any form. Neutral to this, dirt of death."

Nakaku had sent a servant out to one of the near villages. The spider demon went inside of the small human village and captured a young boy blindfolding him. When the returned to where Kikiyou was held up, the servant gave the boy a knife and spoke to the boy.

"Swing this tiny blade around if you wish to have your life spared…Do so now!"

The boy was in tears. "What is going on? Where am I? I want my mother where am-"

"Insolent ningen do as you are told or I will kill your mother!"

And with that the boy began chopping down unskillfuly onto the dirt body not understanding what the thick substance was that grew more dense on his hands. Once Kikiyou seemingly had no more blood in her body Noriega dropped her catching the rest of her soul. Once absorbing it she became angry and began walking as the servant disposed of the young boy.

"Washi. We leave now."

Naraku spoke. "She looked ready to kill Washi."

Kagura was confused but remembered something of more importance. "Naraku, she has the jewel shards. Go to her my lord."

Washi flew after. He had never seen Noriega like this. `What is wrong?'

"Still with my entire soul, Kikiyou dead and the jewel shards I am not able to prevent one damn arrow from being my end-"

`But Norie-`

Noriega hit Washi into a tree. "When and if you have something to say do not!"

Naraku stopped his run knowing he would lose Noriega. But he had an idea of to where she was going. He turned to see the falcon like bird youkai bloody, crying to himself. He picked him up and continued running.

`Noriega has hate for me.'

"So, the psychic finally decides to communicate with me. What is wrong with Noriega, but how did she turn into a demon first of all?"

`She was always a demon, born a demon. But for her to have a life after her parents were killed… She was born youkai, but they put her under a spell to be a human until her fifteenth birthday. Her foster mom explained it to her once Noriega, well, knew. She went back here and has been here for most of her time. Noriega was not always so, cold.'

"And now?"

`I know if I tell anyone she will kill me, or be really mad. Even I can smell it and I am a bird demon. You might even be able to see it soon.'

Noriega sat in front of the well. She moved her top to conceal her right shoulder. It had grown much larger, infact it now caused peril to more than just her shoulder. She slaughtered everyone in a village and took bandages to buy herself time. She spoke to Washi as she healed him, still trying to wrap the bandages on herself.

"I apologized that I nearly killed you Washi."

`It is okay. You were really angry.'

"It will never be okay for me to harm you Washi." Noriega's words were then addressed to Naraku. "Why are you here."
"The jewel shards."

"Then take them. Since you have eyes to view with you are able to see that I have eyes to view I am unable to give them to you currently on my own."

Naraku did take the jewel shards and put them together. "What happened to you."

"An arrow twenty days ago went through me. In a few mere days I will be purified to death."

"No more games."

"It is still a game. Life. To see if I can get what is necessary done for Washi before I am dead."

"What if I told you, I would us the wish to save y-"

"I will tell you not to because you are missing three shards and do not waste a wish on such a trivial matter."

Naraku looked down at the jewel to avoid eye contact. True, there were three shards missing, but what bothered him the most was the fact that his feelings for the black inu were no longer completely under his control.

`At first, I had only felt such a strong lust for this youkai who truly possesses godly looks, but now…No. I will accept that I am attracted to and want Noriega, but…This will work to my advantage.'

Naraku then spoke. "I thought that I asked if you had any jewel shards two years ago, you lie to me?"

"The question pertained only to the origin of the shard around my neck."

"Then you did lie to me."

"Death is not a lie. It is a fact. The one vow I did make to you that I will keep is my opinion of you hanyou as youkai."

Naraku raised his head and looked down somewhat at her. "Will it matter?"
"For nine nights. And if your smelling would have improved, it would have been an interesting game."

"Monotone to death."

"True, once I am finished here I will retrieve the rest for you."

Naraku went up to her, taking the bandage from her tail and left hand wrapping her for her sake. Afterwards, she went to the well speaking to Washi too quietly for Naraku to hear.

"Washi, make sure Naraku does not follow me." She jumped in returning within minutes. "Naraku, give me the jewel to purify."

"How long will it take."

"I am unsure, pending on the evil that all of the shards have encountered, five minutes." And Noriega handed the jewel back to the hanyou after it was purified. "Make your wish. I no longer wish to be in the presence of a half breed."
