InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Forges of Love ❯ Happily Ever After ( Chapter 23 )

“Where are we going?” Tensei asked as Yoru pulled her from the castle.

 

“…Dunno papa said someplace safe…”

 

Just then, there was a loud crash as Sessho-maru came flying from the wall of the ruined castle.

 

"Sessho-maru!" Tensei cried, as she and Yoru ran to where he fell. She knelt by his side, pulling his head into her lap. Sessho-maru had lost consciousness, he was covered in his own blood.

 

"Sessh-kun! Please!! Open your eyes!!!" She wept. Naraku's cackling sounded from above them, he floated through the hole he had made when he threw Sessho-maru from his castle.

 

"Foolish dog, I thought you knew by now you could never defeat me" he smirked. "Now you and your pup will die here and I shall take possession of your woman"

 

Yoru growled, eyes glowing red.

 

"...No, Yoru-kun..." Tensei sighed, her voice eerily calm. Yoru glanced up at her, her eyes were also a blood red, rage coming off her in waves.

 

"Ho? Do you wish to die by my hand as well, Tensei?" Naraku smirked.

 

"I fear you no longer, Naraku. How dare you treat my mate so shamefully!" She roared. Tensei's form began to contort, her body stretched longer and longer, her skin became shiny silver scales. Her face jutted out in an angry snout, her eyes became green slits on either side of her head. Tensei had transformed into a dragon. She snarled at Naraku, baring her fangs, Naraku was frozen in fear.

 

"...You...you're a...dragon?!"

 

Tensei flew at him, catching his barrier in her mouth, she bit down on it until it cracked.

 

"No!! This can't be happening!!" Naraku cried. His barrier shattered and nothing stood in the way of him and Tensei's fangs. He screamed in pain.

 

"Have no fear Naraku...I do not intend to eat you..."

 

Flames flowed from between her fangs, roasting Naraku alive, his screams of agony were music to Tensei's ears. His ashes crumpled beneath the intense pressure, the Shikon jewel falling to the ground.

 

"Mama!" Yoru cried as Tensei resumed her human form, picking up the jewel. "Papa's awake!"

 

Turning, she ran to Sessho-maru who sat propped up against a tree.

 

"Sessh-kun..." she sighed kneeling at his side. He gazed at her, a soft smile coming to his face as he reached out to touch the side of her face.

 

"...It seems...you didn't need us...after all..."

 

Tears welled in Tensei's eyes, she took his hand in her's.

 

"Don't say that...I'll always need you...I love you, Sessh-kun..."

 

Sessho-maru sat up, leaning forward to kiss her.
