InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Evil Eye, The Serpent's Tongue ❯ The New Lords ( Chapter 16 )

The New Lords.

 

 

 

Kagura looked herself over in Kanna's mirror. The soulless child had survived Naraku's death, no worse for wear. Of course, she had done nothing except follow Kagura's orders, confirming in her mind that since Naraku was dead, she was next in line to take over his puppets.

 

Perfectly fine with her. She didn't mind that role in the slightest. Though she doubted she would be needed any of Naraku's failed puppets, if any were left. Her new allies were more then a match for the hanyou monster.

 

I doubt he could have won, had he been at full strength. She mussed, glancing at her back once again.

 

She had made her use of the jewel shard simple. Unlike the others, who had radically changed their bodies into powerhouses, she was focused on magic. So, other then increasing her wind powers ten fold, she had raised her height to match them and given herself wings, so she wouldn't need the feather again, or the fan. At least, not for battle.

 

After she was satisfied, she left her room and walked to the roof, where Ryu and Neko were watching out over the land. Sango was keeping watch on he other side, to insure that there wasn't a final surprise from their dead host.

 

Each of the three had managed to find where Naraku had kept the spoils of war, items taken from those he captured and tortured. Most of it were weapons, but their had also been some clothing.

 

Ryu had chosen a simple open robe, slit up the back to allow his tail and wings free movement. It was sleeveless, and served no purpose over then making him look regal. On his side he wore a sword he had found, a nasty looking weapon with large juts in the blade, making it twice as painful if he slashed your body. He had seemed very keen on that weapon, instantly taking it and muttering, “Suohdanna.”

 

Neko had gone with no weapon. As she had told Sango, “We aren't very sophisticated demons.” She too wore an open robe, only for looks. She had, however, used Naraku's bedroom as her own scratching post, sharpening her claws till they could cut steel.

 

Sango had done the most. She had found a shirt wear under the shreds of her old shirt. It was cut down the front in a large V, showing off her assets very well, which her old garment was also allowing everyone to see. The neck was high, though it did allow her to look around rapidly. It was a dark green and black piece, matching her tail. On her side she wore a cat o' nine tails.

 

“Anything like my old weapon merely reminds me of my foolishness back then.” She had told Ryu.

 

“Hello Kagura.” Sango said. “Your transformation was a success.”

 

“That it was.” Kagura said, remembering to be nice to the former human, less Ryu show his anger. “What is our next plan of action?”

 

Ryu smiled. “I think it is time we dealt with Inuyasha and his friends. I have big plans for them.”

 

“What kind of plans?”

 

Neko purred, leaning against Ryu. “Can I tell her, pwease?” Ryu nodded and she smiled. “Those fools do not know the truth…the power that our race has…against us, they are betrayers and enemies.”

 

Sango growled.

 

“But with us…they can make great allies.”

 

Kagura's eyes went wide. “You are going to turn Inuyasha and his friends?”

 

Sango growled. “You would bring those monsters in…treat them as you have me?”

 

“No” Ryu said, smiling gently at her. Sango settled down, learning rapidly to listen fully to Ryu's plans. “We are going to turn all but Inuyasha and Kagome. There is hope in the fox demon, the monk and Kirara…the possibility that they were merely tricked, like you Sango.”

 

Sango nodded, understanding. “We need to save them!” She looked at them, her eyes bright. “They are merely living in the shadows, as I had been. Neko, please let them see the light!”

 

“We will Sango.” Ryu replied, pulling Neko close to him.

 

Neko licked Ryu's neck softly. “And my lover has the perfect plan.” She glanced at Kagura. “You will go spread the word that Naraku is dead. Brag, show off your power. While they focus on you…”

 

“We will take them out, one by one.” Kagura finished, grinning. It made perfect sense. Soon, all by Inuyasha and Kagome would be left to fight. “Then we kill Kagome and Inuyasha.”

 

Sango frowned, something stirring in her heart. “Ryu…is there not a chance that Kagome…is also…”

 

Ryu let go of Neko and walked over to the demoness. “You still care for her?”

 

Sango nodded. “She betrayed me…but…I have been with her, alone. I know she does this all for the love of the hanyou…if we could only show her what he truly is…she would…”

 

Ryu smiled and gently hugged the demon. Kagura considered it a strange sight: The demon that had brainwashed her, now holding her close.

 

“We will see my dear Sango…if we can find a way, we will bring Kagome into the darkness…and the two of you, with the rest of us, will destroy the hanyou that ruined all our lives.” He paused. “Sango…I think it's time we talked about your first mission, about your first act for this clan.”

 

Sango nodded and took in everything Ryu told her. After a bit, she nodded, grinning happily, and rushed to get out of the castle.

 

Here I come Kirara
