-Defeat-
Kagome closed her eyes as the wind softly blew past her. The last few hours
had been hard; she had explained the existence of angels and nephilim to
Inutashio and lord Kouga. Needless to say it was not an easy task. At
first they flat out did not believe her, even though they saw the
Oni-tenshi, they believed them only to be some kind of bird demon. In the
end she had to show them some of her powers to prove them wrong. They were
also baffled as to why she was undetectable to the oni-tenshi when she
could detect them just fine. It was then that she explained about her
pendent and its ability to disguise her aura as that of someone with
demonic blood.
She had also told Inutashio of her and Inuyasha's blood connection,
explaining why she held the scent of an inu demon. In the end the two lords
had gone to their own chambers to soak in all the baffling information she
had told them.
Now she was standing on the top of a tower watching the sun set. She was
worried about the oni-tenshi. She had killed several of them but the one
had gotten away, but not before swearing vengeance for his fallen comrades.
Though she was grateful they had given her two days so far to heal, she
also knew that they would come for her soon and that they wouldn't take
storming the northern castle lightly. No, she needed to think of a plan and
fast, before they caught them all off guard. Right now the demons didn't
stand a chance; they were unfamiliar with the oni-tenshi and nephilim, they
didn't know their weaknesses, or how to kill them.
She formed a ball of fire in her small palm; angel fire, the only way to
kill a creature with angelic blood. She was the only one, besides Haru and
Yukio, that could produce it. Together they could stand their ground for a
while, but not forever. As if knowing her inner turmoil, Haru and Yukio
came up behind her.
“How are you feeling Kagome?” asked Yukio.
“I am fine, just thinking of a way to defend the castle for the attack that
we all know is coming soon,” she said.
“That's what we came to talk to you about,” said Haru. “We think you should
escort the two lords from the castle back to the western lands tonight. Let
us handle the battle here, the lords need to be kept alive, as they will be
the ones the oni-tenshi come after.”
“And me, I killed some of them, remember?” she stated
“That is why we want you to lead them, with the three people they want gone
they may retreat and the battle may not be as deadly,” said Yukio gently.
“Yes Kagome, it could save many lives.”
“And it keeps me out of danger during a large battle that you two intend to
fight on your own. How convenient,” said Kagome.
“Now Kagome don't take it like…Do you sense that?” asked Yukio
“Yes, it's getting stronger. There's ten, no twenty of them, they will be
here within minutes,” said Haru.
“Yukio, go warn Inutashio and Kouga, Haru and I will stand guard on the
towers,” commanded Kagome.
Yukio nodded and disappeared into the castle as Haru flew to the west wing.
Kagome stood her ground, bow and arrow drawn, awaiting the approaching
battle.

“Sesshoumaru I am telling you, something is wrong!” yelled Inuyasha as he
dodged another blow.
“Nonsense, you are simply trying to avoid sparing,” replied Sesshoumaru.
Suddenly Inuyasha doubled over in pain on his left side. Sesshoumaru looked
on in curiosity as his half brother assumed the fetal position grasping his
left side.
“Kagome…she has be…been hurt!” he stuttered out.
“What is the matter with you?” asked Miroku
“I am feeling her pain,” he spoke through clenched teeth.
Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes at his younger brother. The only way he could
sense her pain is through the sharing of blood. Unable to think of the
possibility that his brother and kagome shared blood, he knelt to look
Inuyasha in the eyes.
“How is that possible little brother?”
“We…I…” he held out his palm to show the small scar, hoping Sesshoumaru
would piece together the rest.
“Why?” Asked Miroku looking at the small scar. He remembered seeing one on
Kagome as well.
“A sibling bond,” said Inuyasha, before another waive of intense pain shook
him from head to toe “She is in a lot of pain…she is scared…and hurt
badly…losing lots of blood” and with that Inuyasha passed out.
Sesshoumaru took in his brother's last few words…'she is scared, in pain,
losing too much blood.' He hoped his father and Kagome were alright.
------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------
Inutashio and Kouga had managed to get everyone in the large dinning hall
safely before the large group of oni-tenshi made it to the castle. Kagome
then set a barrier along with Haru to prevent them from being seen or
detected. Once the oni-tenshi believed the castle was vacant they began
attacking the three nephilim in their mist. They had wounded Yukio and he
now lay in a pool of his own blood, unable to move. If she didn't get to
him soon he would not heal fast enough to make it.
She watched as Haru took to the air to battle the remaining four
oni-tenshi, she yelled his name as the despicable being that slashed her
from behind impaled Haru on a long spear, causing him to come crashing to
the earth below.
She was a few feet away when the one who called himself Isaac landed in
front of her, the other three surrounding her. She looked at her two fallen
comrades and knew she didn't have much time left.
Noticing her distraction, the four oni-tenshi attacked at once, one of them
effectively sinking their sword into her side. As she stumbled back and
gripped the handle she realized it was a real sword and not one made of
angel fire.
She then fell to her knees. Pain overloaded her senses and made it near
impossible to breath. She managed to pull the sword out of her side and
weakly held her self up by her hands.
That's when she felt it, a warm tingling feeling coursing threw her body.
The next thing she knew the entire court yard was consumed in a bright
light and then all went black.
---------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------
Everyone in the dinning hall watched curiously as the evening sky was
illuminated by a blinding light, then went black again…black and quiet.
Inutashio and Kouga walked to the court yard and saw Haru and Yukio both
slowly getting up from the ground. Blood covered them and the two lords
could see their wounds were nearly healed.
Ash was everywhere blowing lightly in the wind.
They looked farther and saw Kagome on the ground. She was pale,
unconscious, and surrounded in a pool of her own blood. Inutashio icked
her up and ran for her room. She had lost too much blood and he could
barely feel her pulse beating weakly and hear her shallow breathing.
That night, for the first time since he was a pup, lord Inutashio fell to
his knees and prayed to the Kami's above, and for the first time in his
long life, Inutashio felt defeated.
