InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Raiden no Ai ❯ A Warrior's Resolution ( Chapter 18 )

 Ok...For the third time. Since my computer loves to delete things when I try and write them. Here is chapter 18...*getting frustrated* It might be short. Forgive me if it is, not much is happening here. I’m going to watch the Thunder Bros. arc again because it’s been a while and I really want to get the battle scene right because I’m weird and because it’s a very important scene to the fanfic. Well, read, review and enjoy!

Chapter 18: A Warrior’s Resolution

Hiten and Manten flew through the air with colossal speed. Hiten was doing his usual aerial acrobatics while Manten lumbered a few feet after on the ominous dark cloud. Kagome was tightly in his grasp. After all, they wouldn’t want Inuyasha’s “lover” to plummet to her death, not just yet anyway.

There was always the possibility that she was lying, but even if she were, it would only result in a quicker, more painful death at the hands of the Raijuu Brothers.

After a while, Hiten flew up beside of his younger sibling. The reptilian glanced at his older human looking brother and broke the silence...

“An-chan.” He started. He had been thoroughly confused with his elder sibling and his seemingly hidden affections for his human captive. “How come we haven’t eaten that red-chaired maiden yet?”

“Nani!?” Hiten asked, coming to an abrupt stop, Manten’s cloud nearly ran into him.

Kagome could feel her body fling itself forward into Manten’s thick arm, then fly back into his body.

“Ouch..” She whimpered.

“Did I say something wrong?” Manten asked, not wanting to upset his brother again, and at this point, fearing to open his mouth.

“Hmpf!” Hiten jerked his head away from his brother and Inuyasha’s proclaimed “lover”. He thought to himself for a minuet, trying to find a reasonable excuse for keeping her around and yet killing his mate, which was the first thing his little brother brought up.

“Um...” He stuttered shakily. “No o-offense...a-an-chan, but, you killed another youkai before you killed her. “

“It was rage, nothing more.” Hiten protested. “Do you think I’m stupid Manten? Have you forgotten? She’s the only one who knows where the villages are that are full of women...”

That was the best excuse he could think of at the moment.

“But An-chan...All of the villages Akina has shown us are already destroyed. She told us she can’t point out anymore.”

“Fool! She’s hiding it, can’t you see?” Hiten turned around and glared at the two.

“Well, I can see something..” Manten said under his breath. “It’s really not fair, you yell at me for sparing a girl and your over there falling for one..”

“What was that?”

“Nothing! It was nothing!” Manten spoke.

“Oh, I think you said something...” Hiten glared. “Tell me.”

“I said it’s not fair, because you yelled at me for sparing this girl, but you won’t let me kill that one.” Manten eeped.

Hiten looked at his younger sibling questioning what would make him believe he loved a human. All of the actions he and Akina have done, he was sure no one knew about his hidden affair...Maybe Akina told him...

“What did that human sway you into thinking?” Hiten crossed his arms, still grasping the Raigeki-jin.

“Ha?” Manten questioned.

“What did she tell you to make you think that I would ever love such a weak creature?” Hiten’s voice monotoned.

“She didn’t tell me anything. You were the one I saw....” He trailed off. He didn’t want to tell his An-chan the truth, it might get his face pummeled in like Aida’s.

“Saw me what?” Hiten raised an eyebrow.

He thought to himself. What could Manten possibly have seen? The hot springs? The porch scene? What was it? He tried to remain his composure, but his mind was in a scurry. What would everyone think of him loving a human girl, such a weak and frail creature, and yet...She needed him...He weakness would be exposed to his enemy.. He didn’t want that to happen.

“You did kiss her...I saw it...Don’t kill me...” Manten seemed to pray.

Hiten laughed. “You really think that meant anything? Ha! I was simply toying with her! Don’t be absurd, it never meant anything, there’s nothing between us. I am her master, I command her and I shall do with her what I wish with her. I’m just making her think what I wish so she’ll comply with my demands.”

“How cruel!” Kagome decided to speak. “You made her think that you loved her, only so you can have your way! You disgust me!”

SMACK!!!

A strong hand hit Kagome’s face.

“Ah!” She shrieked.

“Silence wench! I never asked for your commentary. Let’s be on our way, Manten.” He put the Rageki-jin over his arm and flew off, leaving Manten and Kagome, who’s face was stinging from being slapped behind.

Kagome held her hot, stinging cheek. **Hiretuken! ** She thought. ** How could he use that poor girl like that!? It’s bad enough he has her thinking he loves her, not only that but she’s being treated horribly by them!! As soon as Inuyasha beats him, I’ll get Akina thinking on the right track again. Oooo!! I can’t believe him!! What a first class jerk!! **

Manten soon caught up with his brother, he couldn’t see his face. Hiten was in deep contemplation. He was devising a plan to live. He didn’t want to die and leave her alone. He had to win. He had only told her that he loved her, he hadn’t told her anything yet.

Their love had been secretive and scarce. Hiten cared about himself more then he did their love, and he was determined to show her that he truly did care, it wasn’t that he was a strong youkai who commands her, it was much more...

Hiten made a vow in his head, a vow to return to her, and show her how much of a lover he could be to her. He had thought his love to be more of himself then her, and he wanted to reconsolidate with his feelings, and see if he could find out what true love is. After all, he had never felt love towards anyone, and he wasn’t sure of his feelings...But that girl...That simple human girl could show him the feelings he had never been shown. He felt love for his brother, but it wasn’t the same...Something was different, but what?

Hiten stopped a few feet above a cluster of rocks below, he could see a small red figure speeding across them. It was Inuyasha! This was no time for Hiten to figure out his feelings, no matter how confused he was, he had to battle Inuyasha now.

This wasn’t the time for love problems...

Well, longer then I expected. What will Hiten ever do now? Akina’s still racing to him. Can she make it in time? No spoilers, but I am thinking of making a sequel to this. Not many Hiten fics out there...*sniff* Our poor little Thunder youkai gets no respect...

Anyway, what do you think Hiten should do? Am I annoying because I ask questions at the end of every chapter? How should it end, since I am at a loss right now? ^_^; R&R and tell me about it! I might use your idea in my fic. I’m already using someone’s who posted for a later part in the battle.

Review now!! Go!! Hiten’s life depends on it!!
