An Unlikely Alliance

 

 

 

 

“OW!”

 

Inuyasha sat up, and had smacked into something hard. He heard someone stifle a cry, and then had been pulled to the ground.

 

“Damn it Kagome!” He screamed, rubbing his head. “Why the hell did you sit me!”

 

“because you smashed into my head you stupid half breed!” Kagome shouted from her spot on the ground. Her forehead had a large red spot on it, and she was rubbing it, wincing.

 

“Are you ok?” Miroku shouted, rushing into the door and promptly kicking Kagome in the stomach. He tripped, and tumbled into the wall, beginning his teeth down on his tongue, bitting it hard. “ARRGH!”

 

“Damn it Miroku!” Kagome shouted. Inuyasha winced in pain.

 

“Would you please talk a bit quieter, my head is throbbing.” He paused. “Since when do you swear?”

 

“When you two are being idiots! And I can swear and talk as loud as I want.” Kagome took a deep breath. “BASTARD , SHIT, DAMN DAMN SHIT, BASTARD SHIT!!”

 

“hey guys…” Shippo said, running in.

 

“WHAT!?!” All three shouted, causing the little fox demon to jump and hide under the table, whimpering.

 

Kagome frowned, and trying not to scream as she dragged herself to Shippo, who pulled away. “I'm…sorry Shippo….we just…got hurt.”

 

“Why were you hovering over my head!” Inuyasha shouted.

 

“Because I wanted to make sure your wounds weren't infected. What the hell happened to you.”

 

“Guys…” Shippo said.

 

“Sango…attacked me. She was at the hot spring…she killed Naraku.”

 

Miroku frowned. “Ow ee oo at?”

 

“what?” Inuyasha asked?

 

Miroku muttered a curse at his swollen tongue and took one of Shippo's crayon's writing on the floor.

 

“'How did she do that?'” Inuyasha read. “She…uh…ate him.”

 

“ATE HIM!” Kagome said, eyes wide. “EW! How could Sango…she ate him? Are you sure she didn't…bait him, or slate him or date him?”

 

“She is a demon!” Inuyasha said. “Her, Ryu and Neko ate Naraku, apparently while he was in his human form during his one night of th month. Now, they have his regenerative powers and are in league with Kagura and they have taken over Naraku's…date him!?!”

 

“Well ,it's better then eating him!”

 

“Guys….”

 

Miroku wrote something on the floor again. Inuyasha read it and frowned.

 

“Kirara….has been turned too. She has a jewel shard, and is a lot bigger.” Miroku let out another clumsy curse. “Ryu showed up when I had Sango in sight…he must have used his Serpent's Tongue on her, because all I know is, I am inches from removing that damn shard from her chest, and Kirara ripped into me like a fish!”

 

“guys…”

 

“Not now Shippo! Just be quiet!” kagome snapped, rubbing her head, which was throbbing. Shippo looked at them, tears in his eyes and just ran. “Shippo! Wait, Shippo, I'm sorry…come back…” Kagome groaned. “Shoot!”

 

“Let the little fox go.” Inuyasha said, annoyed. “We need to deal with the fact that Ryu, Neko and Sango are the most powerful demons around.”

 

Kagome frowned. “We have to get Sango back.”

 

“We will…just…don't take her up on a bath.”

 

Miroku raised an eyebrow. “See axed you to baaatthhh with har?” Inuyasha nodded. “Naaakid?” Once again, Inuyasha nodded, and Miroku began to curse loudly.

 

“Would you three knock it off!” Kaede shouted, entering the hut. “Didn't Shippo tell you to get out here?”

 

“No…” Kagome said softly. “Wait…why did he want us out there.”

 

Kaede frowned. “Did he not try and tell you?”

 

“We…kinda told him to be quiet.”

 

Kaede muttered something about kids and shook her head. “Had you bothered to actually let him talk, Shippo would have told you that we had guests that want to talk to you.”

 

The three all looked at her and managed to get to their feet, walking outside. There, their jaws nearly dropped.

 

Sesshomaru was standing their, 3 large slashing running along his clothing and chest that refused to heal, which a very nervous villager was bandaging. Jaken was looking around nervously, and Rin was playing by chasing a chicken around.

 

“Sesshomaru…what are you doing here?” Kagome asked.

 

“A friend…of yours…visited me.” Sesshomaru said. “Not so tight woman.” The woman promptly fainted. The Lord of the West would have frowned, had he wanted to, and ripped off the bandages. “I'll heal quicker then one of these villagers learn how to wrap my bandages.”

 

“Lord Sesshomaru-sama!” Rin shouted, running up to him. “Did that big kitty hurt you?”

 

“No Rin.” He said calmly. “Go play.”

 

“I wish I could play with that little boy that ran into the woods.”

 

“Little boy?” Kagome asked. “Shippo…”

 

“She said kitty.” Inuyasha asked. “Neko?”

 

“You've met her too little brother?” Sesshomaru asked, more of a statement then a question. Inuyasaha nodded. “She wanted me to become allies, I turned them down. She showed her honor by attacking me and running off before I could cut her down.”

 

“Why are you here then?” Inuyasha asked his brother. “Not a social call.”

 

Sesshomaru sighed at his brother's attitude. “Let's get some things settled: We hate each other. I am a grand lord, you a half breed mutt.”

 

Inuyasha growled. “I'm a smart, fast, hard killing warrior; you are an egomaniac.”

 

“Good to see that's settled Inuyasha.” Sesshomaru said with a grunt, running his fingers over Neko's handy work. “But the fact of the matter, judging by the bruises you have, that both of us have had the same luck with the two of them.”

 

“Are you saying we should team up?” Kagome asked.

 

The demon lord closed his eyes, and said the next words as if they hurt him worse then the wound. “yes.” He stood up. “By myself, I can take one..but I would prefer if there was something to keep this other demon busy until I got to him.”

 

Miroku smirked. “We're your diversion?”

 

“In a way.” He muttered. “With the 4 of you…”

 

“three.” Kagome said. “Three now.”

 

Sesshomaru looked around. “What happened to the demon hunter?”

 

“Ryu has turned her into a demon.” Kagome said softly.

 

Sesshomaru eyes flashed. “He's turning humans into demons?” The lord felt like cursing, but remained calm. “He is worse then I thought.”

 

“Ya, just forget about him turning our friend into a monster, worry about your prestige!” Inuyasha grumbled. His brother stood up, hand on his sword.

 

“Enough!” Kagome shouted. “All of need to put past experiences aside. If Ryu and Neko have their way, they will use jewel shards to turn anyone they want into their servants, and then attack those who are left. Now, shake hands you two!”

 

Both brothers frowned.

 

“SHAKE!” Kagome shouted. The two looked at each other and begrudgingly shook hands. “Now, let's get a battle plan.”
