The Second battle, the unwanted Prophecy.

 

 

 

“Kaede!”

 

Kagome grabbed a hold of the old woman's arm, helping her against a tree. The woman was out of breath, and it looked like she had been running for hours. The others paused, still watching the dark cloud.

 

“Kagome…two demons…”

 

“We know.” Inuyasha said. “They attacked us yesterday and stolen all the jewel shards we had collected.” He frowned.

 

“Kaede…describe them to us.” Sango said.

 

“There is one, a giant cat demon. She is brown and black, and…”

 

“That's Neko.” Inuyasha replied

 

“Then there is another, same height, with scales and wings. A giant dragon demon.”

 

Sango paled. “Ryu…he's used a jewel shard.”

 

“Kaede, go back to the cat demoness. Is she still naked? Can you describe…” Mirkou went down hard, Sango fuming.

 

“That demon tried to kill us, you stupid monk!”

 

“That doesn't mean I can't appreciate her beauty!”

 

“I'll beauty you!” Sango said readying for another slap. Kagome stepped between them, settling the two friends down.

 

“We don't have time to worry about this, we need to stop those two, now, before they get too powerful.”

 

“Kagome.” Kaede said gently. “Be careful…they are intelligent. Very intelligent. I sense doom if you all rush into this.”

 

“We'll remember that, thank you.” Kagome said, running off as the rest of her friends headed to the village. Kaede watched them leave and turned, heading away, her heart grow worried.

 

Something bad was going to happen.

“Look Neko!” Ryu shouted, standing on a hut. “Our guests have arrived!”

 

The group looked up to see the transformed Ryu, and he merely nodded. Neko purred and sat up from her makeshift throne.

 

“Welcome to our home.” She said. She leapt up to the roof, and nuzzled Ryu's chest, before standing in front of him, his hands around her waist. “We are so glad you could all come.”

 

Inuyasha readied his blade. “So you are a bit bigger, I see. Just more of you to slice!”

 

“have you forgotten our last fight hanyou?” Ryu said quietly. “It took all your power to bring me down. Now…you don't stand a chance.”

 

Neko smiled and licked her claws, then waved to Miroku. “You and I have to finish our game.”

 

“Before we begin, can I ask something?” Miroku asked. “If, let's just say, you were to decide to stop fighting us and joint he side of good…would you bear my children?”

 

Neko frowned and shot a claw at him, sending him into a tree. “Lecherous monk.”

 

Sango sighed. “You are an idiot.”

 

“Ah, Sango!” Ryu said, turning to her with a shit faced grin. “Already prepping for your role in these events?”

 

The demon-hunter shook her head, gripping her Hiraikotsu. “Nope, but I did prepare for how I am going destroy you and your partner there.”

 

Ryu shrugged and let go of Neko. “Very well, let's get this over with.” He smirked and leapt into the air, driving right at Inuyasha, the two rocketing deep into the forest. Neko leapt down and began to fire her nails, causing Kagome and Shippo to duck for cover.

 

“Your mine demon!” Sango yelled, throwing her weapon.

 

“Your part comes later!” Neko yelled, and kicked the weapon back. It flew, and caught Sango in the gut, slamming her into a house. She grunted, but couldn't free herself, her boomerang having locking her in place.

 

Neko walked over to Miroku, who held out his staff. “This is because of that whole `bear my children comment', right?”

 

Neko punched him hard between the legs, causing him to double over in agony. “You think?”

 

“Leave him alone!” Kagome cried out, firing an arrow. Neko dodged it easily, and then grabbed some lumber. She held it like a club and swung at the miko, causing her and Shippo to try and run for cover.

 

“Kagome!” Sango shouted, still struggling with her own weapon. “I'm coming!”

 

“What about me?” Miroku whimpered, still holding himself.

 

“You deserved that!” Sango shouted. “Idiot, asking a demoness to mate with you.” She muttered.

 

“Burst Back!”

 

“Wind Scar!”

 

Everyone paused and watched the flashes behind the trees, then hear Inuyasha scream as he was sent flying. He smashed into Kagome, and the two of them landing in a heap. Neko took the lumber she had grabbed and used it to pin them to the ground. Ryu had already managed to restrain Kirara, and Miroku was no problem, since he was still seeing spots.

 

The two demons glared at Shippo.

 

“I'll just bind myself up!” he shouted, leaping under the lumber that had Kagome and Inuyasha trapped on the ground.

 

“You lousy little fox!” Inuyasha shouted.

 

“Don't blame me, I'm just a kid!” Shippo sobbed. “You expect me to try and fight two giant demons?”

 

“What do you want with us!” Kagome shouted.

 

Ryu turned and walked over to her, leaning real close. “It's not you I want.” His eyes slide over to Sango, who gasped and struggled harder.

 

“No!” Kagome yelled, trying to free herself. “I won't let you do this! You lied to her! She will never fight for you!”

 

Ryu chuckled. “My dear…when Neko is done with her…she'll hug us close and call us friend.”
