Chapter 17

Lady on the brink of death

 

 

Inuyasha looked to the top of the tower, “K, K, Kagome?” her frame was tacked up in the bark from Naraku's body in the shape of a cross (this is not in a blasphemous or religious ways it's just a imprisonment thing I didn't want her to just be chained up it'd be too easy) with thorns. It wrapped around her whole body leaving new and old blood stains on her disheveled uniform. Still unconscious she was unaware of the events about to occur in the afternoon warm summer air of the Ryuku islands. As they gotten closer to the battle ground Inuyasha's growls became louder due to the site of Kagome's injured body. Sesshomaru finally noticed Rin's small body shackled and he didn't hide his concern, “Rin! Rin are you alright?” she nodded her head. “Let's make this the last time we are used little brother.”

 

He jumped off of Sesshomaru's back, “You aint gotta tell me twice!” he landed on the top of the castle, “Naraku let Kagome go and then I'll kick your ass!” Naraku never showed up. Sesshomaru finally touched down on the castle ( I forgot to mention this looks like the traditional Japanese Castles moats and things of that nature but the pagoda is very flat at the top instead of arched like a pyramid. And the battle is taking place on a open area think of a Bruce Lee movie where you see all those people training in the courtyard oh that's what it's called I forgot sorry for the flow interruption) and everyone was ready to battle.

 

They all stood ready Kagura versus Sango, Miroku versus Kanna, Sesshomaru versus Kohaku, and Inuyasha versus Naraku's demon puppet. “Ahem, my lord I am here.” Inuyasha looked to his right shoulder, “Myoga! W…why are you here? I would have thought you'd never come here”

“That is where you're wrong milord. Kagome has been a very dear friend to you and the rest of us… I will go up there with her away from battle to make sure she is safe.” He hopped off of his masters shoulder but Inuyasha caught him, “Make sure she's alright, I couldn't bear it if anything happened to her again.” Myoga bowed and made his trip up the wall.

 

They all stared into each others eyes; each stare held some form of meaning. Kagura's meant freedom to control her own destiny, Sango the will to take her brother away from evil, Miroku the desire to be rid of his cursed hand and to start a family of his own, Kanna's desire was to just be a normal demon child (I added that one in), Sesshomaru's was to get Rin back safely and take his place in the west, Kohaku just wanted to have a purpose in his life since he had no memory of anything except for the strange girl that always appeared in his dreams, and finally Inuyasha purpose is to take revenge for everything Naraku had done to himself, Kikyo, and Kagome. (The demon puppet just had orders to destroy.)

 

It was complete silence no one moved, no one blinked an eye, and it almost appeared that no one was breathing. Rin picked her head up and blurrily, “Ses…sho…maru. I'm glad you made it.” For a second Sesshomaru forgot he was in battle, “Rin!” he tried to walk toward her but Kohaku threw a throwing star to block him. “Sorry I can't allow you to avoid this.” Sesshomaru growled evilly at the boy and sprinted towards him, “Sesshomaru don't kill him!” said Sango, “I don't care if he is your brother he has no right touching my wife!” the clash of the two started the battle. “Fuujin no MAI!” Sango attempted to block the attack with her boomerang but went flying off the side of the castle, but Kirara caught her. “Thanks Kirara, lets go!” Inuyasha swung at the surprisingly powerful demon puppet, he averted his eyes to the location of Kagome hoping that she was alright. Miroku was caught in Kanna's mirror trance when he tried to suck her up into his wind tunnel. He saw visions of children with a wind tunnel like his meeting their demise at a much younger age than he. “No! No, who is that child could that be? Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!” he sealed up his hand and tried to fight Kanna in hand to hand combat.

 

Meanwhile, Myoga finally climbed to Kagome's spot on the tower and jumped onto her shoulder. “Oh Lady Kagome! You're alive but barely…Master Inuyasha is down there fighting in your honor you've go to be okay for his sake please wake up!” He poked his proboscis (his nose to suck the blood) into her hoping to stir her awake but it was to no avail she neither slapped him or moved, “Oh no this is not good!” he decided to wait until the right time to tell him of her status.

The first person injured was Kagura who thought she was clever when Sango attempted to hit her with her hirakotsu, caught the boomerang in a twister to prevent her self from getting hurt but Sango anticipated that and came up from behind with her katana slicing Kagura's arm which affects the flow of wind. The second she yelled from her injury everyone stopped. “Damn you, you wench! How dare you strike me! The Goddess of the Wind! I will make sure you die for this!” Kagura lifted her arm though in pain she was determined to kill whoever hurt her. “Fuuuuuujin nooooo M…” her bansho fan was snatched from her hand. Miroku was just closing up his cursed hand, “I got you Kagura.” He said with a devious smile. Kanna was about to put him into another trance with her mirror just when Kirara bit her arm letting her grip on the mirror fade where it shattered.

Shippo ran up from the side, “Fox Magic!” he created an illusion of himself to get Kanna's attention and kicked her in the ribs, “Ow.” She said without any feeling. Miroku was now helping Sango who was very dizzy suddenly. “Kagura DIE!” Kirara ran and pushed Kagura near Miroku, “Wind Tunnel!” she got sucked into the tunnel. “Yeah!”

Sesshomaru was still fighting Kohaku both were bloody and bruised. “WHY! Why did you kidnap Rin? She has no place with you!” their weapons clashed, “And you think she belongs with you demon! Her life is in danger everyday because of your many enemies and the reckless ways you live yours she needs to be with HUMANS!” “Do you think your human boy? You don't even know or understand why you're here you're just a mere puppet to some cowardly demon who is too afraid to fight! What possible life do you think you could have with Rin if you don't remember a damned thing about your own!” Right then Kohaku stopped his attack and clutched his head in pain. “No father! Kenji (a made up name for the other demon slayer), Kaoru, Jin, Sango! Sister I'm sorry I hurt you! Naraku I wish to forget what I've done, I can not continue living on knowing I've taken the life of my fellow demon slayers, family and hurt my sister please…make it all go away.” Sesshomaru was going to complete the blow but just in time Sango stopped him, “No Sesshomaru leave Kohaku!” she ran in front of his sword. “Move woman! I promise if you don't move you will taste my blade!”

 

Rin looked into Sesshomaru's eyes even though his were not affixed to hers, “Sesshomaru! Don't hurt him, he just needs someone to love him, just like you did! I understand him he just is a lost person who needed a reason to find someone, isn't that why you've kept me by your side all these years!” He looked to her with love in his eyes which was now flooded with passion instead of hatred, “Yes Rin. I understand but I thought I lost you do you know what its like to lose someone that you've loved?” Rin began to tear, “Yes my lord I do. While I watched you fight him I thought I was losing that compassionate person that I've loved for a long time it's like once you taste the heat of battle I lose you!” He walked over to her and removed the shackles and hugged her, “Rin, I'm so glad you are safe. I want you to leave this island and wait for me until I return.” “But how?” Ah-un screeched in the distance, “Oh! Ah-un your okay!” She ran up and hugged the two headed dragon.

 

Meanwhile…

Inuyasha was battling the demon puppet who was putting up quite a good fight, “Damn you Naraku come out and fight me! I'm tired of fighting your fucking minions I want to fight you NOW!!” A voice finally came from the puppet, “Are you sure you're not fighting me now!” the baboon costume flew off and showed Naraku's strange mix form. Everyone gasped; Kohaku still was having a breakdown as everyone watched the main battle begin.

 

“NARAKU! I and everyone here have a personal vendetta against you but no one's is stronger than mine. You posed as me fifty-five years ago in order to steal the shikon no tama to become stronger and in the process killed the one I loved and she in turn killed me, and now you have the reincarnation of the woman I once loved but now I have a new lover and you have her hostage! Not only to I despise you for all you've done to me you have gone an spread over to my family and there is no way I'm going to let you live to torture another generation! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!” he ran and unsheathed tetsuaiga and seen the opening he needed for the Wind Scar and slashed. Naraku just got cuts. “Inuyasha believe it or not, yes all that you've said was true except one thing, I didn't steal the jewel to become stronger, I stole it to become a full demon!” Sesshomaru finally spoke, “So it makes sense.” Inuyasha spoke to his brother without moving his eyes off Naraku, “What makes sense?”, “Simply that the reason he absorbs demons of lesser power to increase his. But by using the shikon jewel he can make himself a full demon.” Inuyasha growled, “Is that your plan Naraku?” Naraku smiled, “So you needed your big brother to help you, awe that's so nice ha, ha, ha.” Inuyasha ran wildly at Naraku.

 

At the top of the tower…

 

“Lady Kagome you must wake up!” Myoga struggled in vain to wake Kagome but she was still out cold due to her injuries, “I guess I have to tell Master Inuyasha…” he hopped down the wall and landed on Inuyasha's heavily panting form. “M…Master?” “Myoga don't you see I'm busy!!”
“But Master Lady Kagome is unconscious and is not responding….in fact her blood is flowing rather slowly.”

“WHAT!!” when Inuyasha looked to Myoga, Naraku took it as an advantage and used one of his wood tentacles and gouged a deep hole in Inuyasha's shoulder. Inuyasha screamed in pain.

 

The sky turned completely black and desolate, Naraku spoke giving details of this awkward occurrence in the atmosphere, “By the way Inuyasha, did I forget to tell you one of my reincarnations can manipulate the course of the moon?”
