“Speaking”

`Thinking'

 

 

 

As the clock struck for the twelfth time Sesshomarou was looking straight into his opponents' red eyes. Naraku had his usual cocky smile plastered on his lips as he said in a tone laced in sarcasm “Finally, I thought you would never make it here Lord Sesshomarou”.

 

“Not everyone is a coward as you are half breed” the demon lord retorted. “Do not be impatient, soon enough this Sesshomarou shall have the pleasure of ridding the world of your disgusting stench” he added loudly cracking the knuckles on his hand to silently signal that he was ready

 

Naraku's laughter resonated throughout the ball room as he said “my stench? Your bitch didn't seem to mind it. And neither did you, since you jumped in bed with her while she was still drenched in `my stench' due to her carrying my…” the half demon did not have time to finish, as Sesshomarou tried to rip his stomach out with his poison claws.

Unfortunately Naraku was faster and managed to barely get away by jumping backwards. A torn shirt was the only damage inflicted on Naraku by Sesshomarou.

 

The half demon chuckled as one of his tentacles erupted from his back. Looking at Sesshomarou with as much hatred as he could muster he said “Is this all you can do? Then it will be easier than I thought. It's my turn now, ready or not here I come!”

 

Naraku shot his tentacle in the direction of Sesshomarou, the latter was able to evade the attack by quickly stepping to the side. But just as fast, Naraku shot another tentacle to Sesshomarou. But this time instead of evading the attack, the demon lord shred the appendage to pieces with his poison claws.

 

A grinning Naraku produced two more tentacles from his back, and sent them flying into Sesshomarou's direction. The two appendages met the same fate as the one the half demon sent earlier.

 

Sesshomarou tried to rip Naraku apart with his claws, but he used his tentacles to prevent the demon lord from coming any closer. Sesshomarou was growing tired by Naraku's cowardice, so he decided to materialize his long poison whip in order to be able to finish him off from a distance.

 

Every time Sesshomarou tried to cut down Naraku with his whip, the latter would produce more tentacles to use as a barrier. This caused the demon lord to grow even more irritated. Sensing his inner demon boil inside of him Sesshomarou increased his speed and started flogging his poison whip at an incredible speed.

 

The whip had to cut down countless numbers of tentacles before finally making contact with Naraku's skin. As the half demon was ripped to shreds, his smile did not disappear.

 

At seeing Naraku's body dissolve immediately most of the people in attendance tried to walk up to the demon lord and congratulate him on an easy victory. The demon lord in question could not shake the feeling that his victory had been too easy. He was sure that Naraku had something planned. But before he had time to look around to see if this was really the end of Naraku, Sesshomarou found himself surrounded by people.

 

He half heartedly answered their questions as he tried to free himself from the ever growing crowd. Just as he managed to fend off some old thunder demon, he heard a sharp scream coming from the opposite direction, he quickly turned around because he knew who the voice belonged to: Kagura.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000

 

 

Sesshomarou was not the only to initially think that Naraku had not put up enough of a fight before going down, in fact Inuyasha took Kagome's hand and dragged her along as he started going around the ballroom looking for traces of Naraku's scent. To his surprise he found two young albino demons who had Naraku's scent on him. But before he could question them a scream was heard coming from the other side of the room. He turned around thinking `Damn Kagura?! Was it all a trap?'

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

As soon as she saw Naraku's body dissolve, Kagura sighed heavily, the only person coming in between her and perfect happiness was finally gone. She barely had time to get up in order to join her Sesshomarou that she felt a warm body pressing around her back. She felt two strong arms snaking around her body and she instinctively screamed as loud as possible when she realized none other than Naraku was holding on to her. She gasped as she felt his cold hand shut her mouth.

 

The spider half demon gently whispered in her ear “now that your pathetic mate is not here, we can finally have some fun”

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

Hearing his mate screaming, Sesshomarou rushed through the crowd, pushing aside who ever dared to get in his way. Horrible thoughts were running wild in his head, and he could feel rage building inside him.

 

As he finally came in view of the Lords' table where he had left Kagura, a vicious growl erupted from his throat as he saw two of Naraku's disgusting tentacles wrapped around his beloved. Luckily for Naraku, he was no where in view, otherwise the demon lord would have shred him to pieces once more.

 

As he stepped closer in order to free Kagura, Sesshomarou heard Naraku's laughter. The silver haired youkai turned around to see a pair of eerie red eyes among the crowd.

 

Not even thinking twice, Sesshomarou unleashed his poisonous whip and slashed through Naraku. Despite having shred the half demon to pieces once more, the full blooded demon could still hear his annoying laughter.

 

Seeing another Naraku pop up, Inuyasha growled out of frustration and screamed to his brother “What the fuck is going on?!”

 

Scanning the room for more `Narakus', Sesshomarou answered “the coward is using kugutsu”.

 

“Oh? So the almighty Lord Sesshomarou has seen through my plan? I'm impressed.” The real Naraku said as he stepped out of the shadows and walked up to the Lords' table.

 

Seeing Sesshomarou take out Tokijin and running in his direction, Naraku raised his hand and chuckled “Ku ku ku, Lord Sesshomarou, I wouldn't do that if I were you. After all, all I need is a fraction of a second and one of my appendage can pierce through your wind bitch's body and then you can say bye bye to your mate and the bastard she carries. The half demon then positioned himself just behind Kagura so that even if Sesshomarou tried to attack him, he would hurt the wind sorceress in the process.

 

Seeing that his hands were tied, Sesshomarou growled in frustration and gritted the handle of his sword so tightly that his knuckles turned white. He finally said “what is it you want Naraku?”

 

Naraku snickered “Has anyone ever told you how similar to your father you really are?”

Sensing Sesshomarou's rage swell at the mention of his illustrious father Naraku's chuckle turned to full out laughter. He then continued ”You should have seen his face when he came running to the summer house screaming his human bitch's name. He looked just like you right now. He really was a pitiful fool, just as I planned his injuries to the hands of the panther demon leader were not healed but he still came running for his bitch.”

 

“Don't you dare talk about my parents you bastard!” an enraged Inuyasha screamed.

 

Not paying any attention to him, Naraku interrupted his little speech long enough to lick the entire length of Kagura's neck, he purposely took extra time to go over the mark Sesshomarou left on her a few days ago. She shuddered under his touch, but not of pleasure but of pure disgust. At that point Sesshomarou could not contain himself anymore and stated walking towards them, but hearing Kagura whimper in pain as Naraku's tentacle squeezed her body, and fearing for both her and the child, the demon halted his movement.

 

“Good boy” Naraku shot at him. “He also tried to resist, your father that is. But in the end he gave up. You know he exchanged her life for the sword. Love makes you weak, don't you think? I wouldn't know I've never allowed myself to fall in love. I only had bed warmers”. He bend over to look at Kagura, tears of anger were now rolling freely on her cheeks.

 

Letting Naraku's words sink in Sesshomarou finally asked “what sword?”

 

Grinning the half demon took out So'unga. “Lord Sesshomarou in order to terminate your life, I decided to use a weapon dear to you”. Without another word, Naraku raised the Sword of Hell, and the ground started shaking wildly.

 

People started screaming and running around, thinking it was an earthquake. Not interested in the fight going on anymore, people rushed to the many exits. After a few minutes of screaming, trampling and running almost all of the people attending the ball remained in the ballroom, only two albino youkai, the Eastern and Northern Lords (their respective mates were put to safety and the coward Lord Shishinki was among the first to run away), The Inuyoukai brothers and Kagome stayed inside.

 

Seeing blood coming out of the blade a snickering Naraku was holding, Sesshomarou's eyes widened as he understood why the floor was shaking and screamed “Inuyasha watch out, they are coming”.

 

But before he had time to tell his little brother who `them' was a large cracked opened in the middle of the ballroom. To Kagura and Kagome's horror, out of the crack came out several living corpses.

 

Sesshomarou unsheathed Tokijin and seeing the small army of undead summoned by Naraku he said chuckling “Even with a sword as powerful as So'unga you are still pathetic. Is that only the number of dead you awakened, really pathetic” without wasting any more time, he started cutting down the living dead. Wanting to get rid of an even greater number, he used kenatsu and sent a blue wave of energy that dissolved fifteen enemies at once.

 

Not wanting his elder brother to get all the glory Inuyasha took out Tessaiga and positioned himself in front of Kagome so as to protect her. “Keh! I'll agree with the cold bastard, you really are pathetic. Hiding behind a woman and using corpses to do the fighting for you. I'll make you take back all the shit you said about my parents”.

 

He then dropped his large sword on the ground and screamed “Kaze no kizu!” Fifteen enemies were caught in the yellow light and dissolved immediately.

 

But by accident the Wind scar almost hit Kouga as well, the wolf demon who was kicking enemies, was not too happy. Inuyasha and the Wolf Lord then stared arguing.

 

“You stupid dog turd! Be more careful!” Kouga screamed.

 

“Keh! It's not my fault you're in the way mangy wolf! Why don't you try moving faster next time?” Inuyasha retorted with amusement.

 

“You two stop it! Now's really not the time!” Kagome screamed at the both of them.

Both the dog half demon and the wolf demon, growled, but none the less went back to hacking down enemies.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

Casting another glance at Naraku who was still holding on to Kagura, Sesshomarou grew even more irritated. As he raised Tokijin towards a large number of living deads he exclaimed “This Sesshoumarou is getting tired of this non sense” he then raised his sword and used the ougi of his sword: the Souryuuha. An impressive blue light shot from the blade and engulfed a large number of the enemies, reducing them to ashes.

 

Jumping and landing right next to his brother Inuyasha said “not bad for a new blade”.

 

Turning around to look at his younger half sibling, Sesshomarou asked surprised “where is your miko?”

 

Following with his gaze the direction in which Inuyasha was pointing with the Tessaiga, Sesshomarou raised his eyes, to see a rather uncomfortably looking Kagome sitting on one of the massive luminaries hanging from the ceiling.

 

Satisfied to see that his sister in law was relatively safe, Sesshomarou turned and faced his enemies once more. Very soon, both brothers were standing back to back, as most of the undeads encircled them.

 

Not raising his gaze from his opponents, Sesshomarou asked his younger brother “are you ready?”

 

Not needing anymore explanation, the younger sibling simply nodded and answered “Keh!”

 

Sesshomarou raised Tokijin and screamed “Souryuuha” as the same time that Inuyasha raised Tessaiga and screamed “Kaze no kizu”. The blue and yellow lights entwined and at that precise moment, the half demon once more raised his sword and screamed “Bakuryuuha”.

 

The force created by the mix of the two brothers' attacks blew away every single one of the undeads left. Even if the ballroom was extremely large, it could not contain the force of the two attacks. All the tables and chairs except for the Lords table behind which Naraku was still hiding behind were also blown to pieces. The walls of the room started to crack, the windows and doors were blown away as well as several of the large luminaries smashed to the ground, including the one the miko was taking refuge on. Luckily for Kagome, Inuyasha caught her as she was falling.

Menoumarou and Kouga barely had time to run to safety, which earned the Inuyoukai brothers a vicious glare from the Wolf demon lord.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

Watching the people she loved fighting, and not being able to help was driving Kagura insane. And feeling Naraku's disgusting tentacles on her made her feel sick. She had racked her brain to find a way out but she could find none.

 

As Sesshomarou and Inuyasha' combined effort got rid of the rest of the zombies, the wind sorceress sighed in deep relief. The action did not go unnoticed by Naraku as he tightened his hold on her. She was about to retort with her sharp tongue when a reflection at the other end of the ballroom caught her attention

.

Kagura focused her eyesight and looked towards the reflection which was none other than Kanna's mirror, in which images were floating.

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

“This Sesshomarou is through playing stupid games with you. Tell me what you want Naraku!” an exasperated Sesshomarou finally said.

 

“Well, Lord Sesshomarou since you ask so nicely, I shall answer. I desire to complete my little collection, by acquiring both Tessaiga and Tenseiga” the dark hanyou said with a small smile.

 

“Not over my dead body” Inuyasha screamed back.

 

“What about your dear sister in law's dead body?” Naraku asked raising an eyebrow.

 

The two Inuyoukai brothers growled in frustration, but stopped when a loud laughter resonated throughout the ballroom. It was none other than… Kagura's?!

 

The wind sorceress took a deep breath and turned around as best she could due to the tentacles still being wrapped around her. Looking straight into Naraku's red eyes, she gently raised her hand and stroked his cheek as she said

 

“Naraku, my love no need to make such scary threats. If it is the swords you want I can get them for you.”

 

Then pointing behind the table she added “besides I already got Tenseiga for you. Ever since the day you first told me about the legendary swords, I could tell how much you wanted them. So I thought of a way to get them for you. And using Sesshomarou was such an easy and smart idea, wouldn't you agree?”

A/N: So how was the fighting scene? I'm not too familiar with the genre so tell me what you thought about it. On another note, Kagura was working with Naraku all along?! Hum? Find out if it's true in the next chapter, it will have a MAJOR twist in it, and it will be named Betrayal. Only one chapter and an epilogue left, the story is almost done!!!
