InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Kagome and The Silver Hanyou ❯ Chapter 12

Meanwhile, Sesshoumaru and Vurumugum managed to sneak themselves in the Higurashi treasure room. She was 100m underground. There was deposited all of the Higurashi's gold. Sesshoumaru's eyes begun to shine like the gold coins. They wished to steal it and leave before anyone realized, but before he could touch a bag of money, Sesshoumaru heard a voice that he hoped that he wouldn't hear it again:

-“Stop right there you two-timed, good for nothing, money-hungry bastard!”

Sesshoumaru turned quickly to see Inuyasha, Kagome and his crew. Sesshoumaru growled:

-“Damn brother! You don't want to die!” But thought, `How could this be possible? Vurumugum had stolen his demonic powers with the mirror!'

Inuyasha prepared Tetsusaiga.

-“Keh! I won't die so easily until I see you dead! And this time, I will finish this fight once and for all!”

-“You read my thoughts, brother,” said Sesshoumaru before he attacked Inuyasha.

-“We're coming Captain!” shouted Riku, but was stopped by Vurumugum, who appeared in front of him.

-“You won't interfere in Sesshoumaru-sama's way! If you wish to fight, you have an opponent right here! Fire ball!!!”

Riku was hit by the fire ball.

-“Riku!” shouted Inuyasha seeing that.

-“You're fighting with me!” said Sesshoumaru, attacking him with his poisonous claws. He managed to wound his shoulder.

-“Inuyasha!” shouted Kagome.

-“Stay back, Kagome! I will take care of this bastard! KAZE no KIZU!”

Sesshoumaru defended himself with Tokijin. He managed with difficulty to break the blast of light and heat, then he fell on one knee.

-“Hmph…It seems you learned to use Tetsusaiga well, but this won't be a obstacle to stop me!” he said as he transformed in his full demonic form, a dog, 50m from his withers.

-“Let's see if you manage to fight me now!” he barked as he lunged for Inuyasha.

Inuyasha jumped to the side, dodging the poisoned bite. Sesshoumaru didn't give up, he hitting with amazing speed, with his poisonous claws. Inuyasha barely could defend himself. Sesshoumaru chased him through the entire treasure room. The last time, Sesshoumaru bitted the ground.

-“Keh! You've got to work on your target,” Inuyasha said smirking.

Sesshoumaru turned growling, his poisonous slaver dripping from his mouth. These fell on the gold underneath, and he began to melt, eliberating a poisonous vapor. Sesshoumaru looked hungrily at Inuyasha.

-`Damn! Poisonous vapor!' thought Inuyasha before turning to the others, “Everybody get out! It's not safe!”

Kagome, who shot an arrow towards Vurumugum, asked:

-“What do you propose to do?”

-“Climb up! Get out!”

Kagome said nothing. Everyone climbed the stairs but, close to the exit, they met Jakken. He started to threaten them with his two-headed staff.

-“You won't lave this place alive!”

Miroku got annoyed and came and hit him with his mace, leaving him unconscious. At Inuyasha, the fight continued, but it was getting harder and harder because of the toxic vapors. Sesshoumaru hit Inuyasha that went in the nearby wall. Inuyasha lifted himself heavily.

-“Dammit! The air is starting to get too toxic even for me! I got to get out!”

He jumped to the platform of the exit. He managed to exit the toxic vapors. His vision began to get blurry because of the poison in his bloodstream. He managed to grab the platform.

-“Dammit! My body is starting to numb!”

Suddenly, Sesshoumaru came from behind him and grabbed him in his fangs, and dragged him back in the toxin. Down there, he began to crush him. Inuyasha was struggling in his grip.

-“Even a wooden-toothed mosquito bites harder than you!” he said before he jabbed tetsusaisa in Sesshoumaru's eye. Sesshoumaru shook his head in pain, rolled over and exited through the roof. Inuyasha was freed from his grip and Kagome came to him.

-“Inuyasha, are you alright?”

-“Yeah, I'm fine, but I don't think that Sesshoumaru will forgive me any time soon for destroying his beautiful face.”

Sesshoumaru returned to his humanoid form.

-“Damn you, Inuyasha! You will pay with your life!” Sesshoumaru said as he held his hand on his bleeding eye.

Inuyasha turned to defensive stance. Kagome went behind him, and the others joined them. Sesshoumaru began to laugh.

-“Well, Inuyasha, what good friends you have! You wouldn't like that one of them to die, would you?”

-“You won't touch a single hair of them!”

Sesshoumaru smirked malefic.

-“But who says that I'm going to do it? Vurumugum, you know what to do! He's all yours!”

Suddenly, Vurumugum appeared in front of him, throwing the others with a force field. A shield appeared around them and all went black. Inuyasha ran to him, prepared to slice him, but Vurumugum hit him with a force field that made him loose his sword, and froze him.

-“What did you want to do, Inuyasha? Cut me with your sword? Don't make me laugh.”

Inuyasha growled. Vurumugum came to his face.

-“How I waited for this moment, Silver Hanyou. To see how you kill your own friends, and then suffer, like I did after the loss of my brother!”

Inuyasha smirked.

-“You've got to be eyed on him. I didn't know that the Wind Scar was rushing towards him.”

Vurumugum electrocuted him with a Lightning.

-“You bastard! How dare you make fun of my brother's death! You will feel the same pain as I did when you will kill your friends with your hand!”

-“As if I will do that!” Inuyasha yelled as he managed to break free from the spell for a second before he was hexed again.

-“Inuyasha, tell me, it is true that you wanted to be full youkai? To be stronger?”

Kagome froze. He wanted to be that killing machine?

-“I thought that I could accomplish that wish of yours,” he holds the mirror. “Look in the mirror, Inuyasha. The dark soul that lives inside you and wishes to get out.”

Truly, in the mirror, the dark side of Inuyasha could be seen, struggling to get out.

-“What are you talking about?!” asked Inuyasha.

-“This is the true form you wish, isn't it? I will grant you that wish.” Then he begun a spell, „Ombojishita godahayami omayasatoban boghearu…”

Suddenly, a powerful pulse went trough Inuyasha when his demonic image pulsed. Strong heart bears began to hear themselves. Inuyasha began to lose control. The transformation began.

-“Inuyasha! Inuyasha!” shouted Kagome behind the force field.

Vurumugum dispelled the force field, knowing that they couldn't do anything against Inuyasha's transformation. He said:

-“The night is the domain over I rule. The darkness is the power I wish. Free your side that you see in the mirror!”

The transformation advanced, Inuyasha starting to struggle.

-“Captain!” yelled Sango.

-“He's beginning to transform into a demon!” said Shippou.

-“But it's different this time,” said Miroku, everyone's eyes turning to him.

-“No! You mustn't transform!” Kagome shouted running to him, but Vurumugum trapped her in some veins that made any of her moves impossible.

-“Kagome-sama!” everyone shouted.

Shippou ran to her.

-“Don't worry, Kagome! I will get you outta here!” But before he could touch her, an electric current unable him to touch her.

Inuyasha started to loose more of his human side, becoming closer to a demon. The mirror image was changing too.

-“Look,” said Sango. “The Captain from the mirror is starting to change into a hanyou.”

-“This is your true nature,” laughed Vurumugum. “Become a true youkai as you always whished! Seal you human blood in this mirror for eternity!”

Kagome gasped.

-“What did he want to say with that?” asked Riku.

-“It means that he would never turn back to a hanyou if he transforms into a true youkai,” Miroku responded.

-“What?!” said Shippou.

-“But the Captain could stop the transformation,” said Sango.

-“This is the world from the mirror,” Miroku continued. “It is possible that the darkness in Inuyasha's heart to be much powerful here.”

-“So you mean to say that he's just a violent monster?” asked Hikaru.

-“Indeed,” said Miroku.

Sango lifted her giant boomerang.

-“Then, if I break that mirror, it will stop!”

But before she could throw it, Vurumugum throwed the same kind of veins that trapped Kagome, and trapped her too. Kirara tried to free her, biting them, but she also was caught by them.

Miroku got up and ran in Inuyasha's face and grabbed him by the shoulders, trying to wake him from his state.

-“Inuyasha, get a hold of yourself!” he shouted. “You really wish to sell your soul to Vurumugum and forget about us?!”

Everything was in vain, Inuyasha sliced Miroku across the chest. Miroku fell, holding his wounded chest.

-“That's how it should be,” said Vurumugum. “You will have absolute freedom when you will free the power of darkness.”

Miroku shouted to Kagome:

-“Kagome-sama, Inuyasha still hesitates, but we can't do anything. Only you can stop him.”

Kagome looked to Vurumugum. She looked in his mirror and saw that Inuyasha's image was now a human. Inuyasha yelled wildly as he lost more and more of his human side.

-“Inuyasha, no!” yelled Kagome. “NO!”

Then the necklace received from Inuyasha started to glow.

-`The necklace…That's it! With him I could rescue Inuyasha! The necklace always had saved us!'

She yelled to Shippou:

-“Shippou-chan! Do you think that you could get the necklace off my neck?”

-“I will try.”

Shippou climbed on her and took the necklace from her neck.

-“Now throw it to me!”

Shippou throwed the necklace and he dissipated the spell. Kagome broke the veins and freed herself. She ran towards Inuyasha and hugged him.

-“Inuyasha! Stop!” she said. “Please! Don't transform!”

But she saw that Inuyasha wasn't coming back to normal, his transformation becoming complete, his eyes being of the color of fire and ice.

-“Inuyasha…”she whispered.

-“Anything you do, it's futile,” said Vurumugum. “What is left of his human heart is totally sealed in this mirror. He will never return to his hanyou form.”

In the mirror was Inuyasha's human form, showing that Vurumugum was telling the truth.

-“Kagome! Get away from him! He's going to kill you!” Shippou cried.

Kagome renewed the embrace and yelled:

-“I like you as a hanyou, Inuyasha!”

Inuyasha was struggling more and more in her arms, his mind being controlled by Vurumugum. Suddenly, Kagome appeared in his mind.

-“Inuyasha! Inuyasha!!!”

Inuyasha lunged to slash Kagome with his claws, but before he could reach her, she said:

-“I love you as a hanyou, Inuyasha.”

He stopped in his tracks.

-“What's the matter, Inuyasha?” asked Vurumugum. “Why are you hesitating? Ombojishita godahayami… ”

Inuyasha yelled, Vurumugum taking control again of his body. He jabbed his claws in Kagome's arms, making her wince. She looked at him.

-`How will I make him stop?'

She looked at Inuyasha who was loosing control of himself. Her eyes filled with tears. Se began to approach him until she kissed him on his cheek. Vurumugum ordered:

-“Now, free the beast that lies inside you and bring me that girl's body!”

As she kissed him, Kagome thought:

-`Inuyasha…you want for us to be together, won't you?”

Then, Inuyasha's eyes cleared and returned to their original color. The strikes on his cheeks disappeared. He draws out his claws from Kagome's arms, and they returned to their original size. The picture from the mirror closed her eyes, and the mirror broke.

-“What's happening? How is this possible?” said Vurumugum.

Inuyasha's fangs reduced and he saw Kagome.

-`Kagome…' he thought before kissing her. After they broke the kiss, they looked each other in the eyes and Kagome asked:

-“Inuyasha, are you alright now?”

-“Kagome!” He said as he embraced her tightly, as if he wanted to forgive him. Then he said, “Kagome, I'm so sorry for what I did! Please forgive me!”

Kagome backed a little and put a finger on his mouth.

-“You don't have to. I forgive you for everything.”

Inuyasha smiled and Shippou came and gave him Tetsusaiga. Inuyasha readied her. He turned her to Vurumugum.

-“Time to see your brother, you bastard! Go to hell, where's your place!”

Vurumugum started a spell.

-“Not if I resist!”

He began to say the magic words, as a giant ball of energy appeared in his hands, and increasing. Inuyasha turned to defense. Vurumugum throwed it.

-“I will kill you all! Dragon Slave!”

The giant ball of energy was getting closer. Inuyasha just smirked. Vurumugum watched him puzzled.

-“What's the matter, Inuyasha? Laughing in front of death?”

-“No. I was waiting for you to do that, you idiot!” said Inuyasha. “Bakuryuha!!!”

Vurumugum watched with horror how his attack was combined with the Wind Scar and returned towards him. Tornadoes of energy began to shred his body, he yelling in pain:

-“Damn you, Inuyashaaa…!” That was all he said before he was no more.

-“We've finished with him,” aid Inuyasha lowering the sword.

Then, all began to tremble.

-“What's happening?” a frightened Shippou asked.

-“Vurumugum was destroyed and the energy that was supporting this world had disappeared!” said Miroku.

Outside, Sesshoumaru was waiting that the battle inside the dome to finish, and Vurumugum to come out with everyone's body. But he saw the dome disappearing and from the darkness, the shapes of Inuyasha and his friends beginning to appear.

-“Sorry to keep you waiting, dear brother,” said Inuyasha to a stupefied Sesshoumaru.
