InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Prologue - A Test of Memory (The Coming of Rinkatsu) ❯ The Servants of Rinkatsu: Sesshomaru, Miroku and Kohaku ( Chapter 26 )

Kagome jumped out of the way just in time to avoid Sesshomaru from flattening her.

"What the hell is wrong with you!" screamed Inuyasha.

With a very quick and smooth motion, Sesshomaru turned on Inuyasha and drew his sword at his neck.

"Inuyasha, you must die," said Sesshomaru with a very emotionless face.

He thrusted the sword at Inuyasha's neck but luckily, Inuyasha dodged it and drew his sword to counter. Sesshomaru gave a few powerful blows with his sword which threw off Inuyasha's balance and threw him to the ground... more powerful than Inuyasha had ever seen him.

"Damn..." thought Inuyasha, "Where did he get all this strength and skill?"

Attempting to lend a helping hand, Sango threw the Hiraikotsu at Sesshomaru while Kagome mounted three arrows and fired. Inuyasha noticed this and was going to strike when Sesshomaru was busy blocking the projectiles. Sesshomaru glanced out of the corner of his eye, and in a lightning fast movement sliced the arrows in half with his sword, caught the gigantic boomerang and still had time to turn around and stop Inuyasha's counter. Sango, Kagome and Inuyasha were breathtaken. Where did this new Sesshomaru come from? Then, something that Kagome was too worried to notice caught her eye. Sesshomaru donned a new attire and was wearing black robes similar to Rinkatsu's and a blood red veil.

"Inuyasha!" said Kagome as Inuyasha got to his feet and still managed to maneuver around Sesshomaru's thrusts. "There's something wrong here! Sesshomaru looks like-" she stopped because a very painful feeling in her back.

Kagome feel to her knees with the wind knocked out of her. She fainted. Sango looked back and saw Kagome on the ground in front of a ghastly black-robed person holding a staff which was used to hit Kagome...... which looked like that of a monk's....a very familiar monk.... the person looked up and Sango caught eyes with the person. It was Miroku.

"M-miroku!" said Sango. She was frightened when she looked at him because she noticed that his eyes were a glowing red. This was not the Miroku she knew.

"Ah, Lady Sango... it appears that Lady Kagome has cleansed your memory of Master's spell.... no worry," said Miroku, "I will just have to kill you."

Miroku walked over Kagome's body towards Sango with an evil smirk. She didn't have her Hiraikotsu because Sesshomaru had thrown it away from the area, but she still had her katana. She unsheathed it and held it behind her head, ready to strike. Suddenly, she felt something rap around her weapon and it was pulled out of her hands. Sango turned around and saw Kohaku. He looked exactly like Miroku, dark clothes and eyes.

Miroku and Kohaku closed in on Sango and snickered evilly. Meanwhile, Inuyasha and Sesshomaru were still pitted in an intense fight. Suddenly, there was a loud bang and flash of light. A red beam shot from the ground into the sky about five or so miles from the battle.

Sesshomaru, Kohaku and Miroku stopped what they were doing. Sango and Inuyasha froze as well to see what this light was.

"Master wants us," said Kohaku. The three nodded and they disappeared in a flash of smoke and light, leaving Sango and Inuyasha dazed and confused.
