The Truth Behind The Past

Chapter 5:Demons

---*---

Inuyasha raced on with Kagome tightly against his chest.He looked down to Kagome's beautiful face and started to think.This isn't good.Kagome's condition is getting worse and if I don't get to Kaede's hut soon,I might...I might...Inuyasha thought as tears sprung to his eyes.Since he was securely holding Kagome with both hands,he allowed his tears to fall.One crystalline tear slowly rolled down his right cheek,landing on Kagome's torn blouse.Another joined it from the other side.First they had came slowly,but had picked up the pace after a while.All the while when he was crying,he brang up Kagome's body closer to his face and his shoulder's shook violently.To Inuyasha,he had failed the woman he loved.In his mind,it was HIS fault that Kagome was in this condition and was dying.Inuyasha had conviced himself that if he had protected Kagome better,he would be able to see her gorgeous sparkling brown eyes and her glistening smile.But he hadn't protected her.And for that,he could never forgive himself for his lack of being able to protect 'his' Kagome.Inuyasha had also convinced himself that he would officially call Kagome 'his' Kagome or 'his' mate,but not out loud,of course.And when the right time came,Inuyasha would suck up his overly sized pride and tell 'his' Kagome he loved her.That he loved every part of her.That he loved everything about her.But if she were to die,Inuyasha would be devasted.No...I'm not going to let her die.Not today.Not ever.I'm going to make sure she never gets hurts again...Inuyasha thought as he tried to quicken his pace.But a horrible thought struck him,the thought he had decided to avoid.What if Kagome dies BEFORE I get her to Kaede's?The thought seemed to echo in his mind.Asking him over and over again.

Inuyasha just shook himself free of the thoughts and looked back up to the path.His golden eyes darted around to try and see if anything was familiar.His two snow-white fuzzy dog ears twitched to hear everything around him,rotating every once in a while.And most importantly,Inuyasha sniffed the air to try and pick up the scents of the village.That's when he found something.Something that made Inuyasha very happy.

He had just picked up the scent of Kaede's village.Faint,yes.But still,he had finally found it.After about an hour and a half of top speed running,he had finally found it.Inuyasha's eyes light up with a new hope,his golden eyes shimmering with excitement.His ears twitched happily on his head in anticipation.Inuyasha let out one of his rare smiles,a small part of his fang peeking out from the corner.

Finally!I'm almost there!Just hang on for a little bit longer!Inuyasha thought as he put on a burst of speed.Green blurs went by him, the woodland creatures scampering out of his way.Inuyasha smirked as he smells of the villages grew more intense and the sound of the villagers softly drifted into his ears.Inuyasha just smirked in triumpth as he was getting closer to the village.But this smirk faded as he started to pick up the scent of demons and blood.Lots of it.There was a lot of blood,which was human.DAMN!Looks like demons are attacking Kaede's village!DAMN IT!I got to pick up the pace!Inuyasha thought angrily as he urged his body to go faster.For the demons would be getting to Kaede's village soon because they weren't that far off.

Meanwhile with Miroku,Sango,Kouga and Sesshomaru,everything was going smoothly for them.They had not found a single demon so they hadn't stopped.No one was concerned about this.That is,except Sesshomaru and Kouga.But they decided not to tell the others of their concern.

Shippo,being the child he was,got bored and decided to talk about something.Actually,he had been bored since they had first defeated the demons,which was about twenty-five minutes ago.He had just been thinking about what to talk about.He had thought hard about the question,but gave up eventually since it was starting to give him a headache,and decided to ask Miroku a question that he wanted to know ever since he met him.So Shippo shyly pulled on the sleeve of Miroku's robe,trying to catch the monk's attention.

Miroku turned to Shippo,question in his dark blue eyes."Yes?What is it Shippo?"Miroku asked him as he turned his body around to face the small fox child.

"Uh...Miroku,there's something that I've wanted to ask you ever since I met you."Shippo said in a curious voice as he looked up to the tall monk.

Miroku raised an eyebrow at this."And that would be..."Miroku started off for him,making circles in the air with his hand.

"Why do you rub women's...er...behinds?"Shippo asked curiously,a cute blush coming to his cheeks.

Miroku smiled boyishly(uh-oh,we know what this means)at Shippo."That's easy!There just so firm,but so soft.So luci-OW!"Miroku said, but didn't get to finish because Sango's Hiraikotsu came in contact with his skull."OW!SANGO!WHAT DID I DO NOW?"Miroku asked as he rubbed his new bump on his head.

Sango just turned to Miroku in a flash.Flames seemed to surround her,her eyes had gone huge while her pupils shrank,her left eye was twitching,and she was giving Miroku the 'Sango' glare.Miroku gulped nervously and laughed nervously,his actions telling Sango he was VERY scared.Very scared,indeed.

Sango nodded her head and turned back around.Miroku,in the meanwhile,was currently in a fetal position.His eyes were wide and he was muttering incohert things under his breath.Though,Sesshomaru and Kouga both heard,and are currently straining not to laugh.

Shippo,being the ever curious one,decided to ask a question that just popped into his head.And that was...

"Miroku?Where do babies come from?"Shippo asked not-so-innocently.Hehehe...let's see if that idiot gets this time!Shippo thought as he eagerly waited for his answer.

Miroku stopped his fetal position and looked to Shippo.Being the pervert he is,zoomed over to Shippo and had his oh so famous I'm-about-to-do-or-say-something-perverted smile on.His eyes were sparkling and he sat Shippo on his propped up right leg,much like a father would.Miroku was about to tell Shippo every little detail about 'birds and bees' when he felt an evil aura.No,not evil.Just San-SANGO!OH NO!Miroku thought as he slowly turned to Sango,who looked VERY mad and red.

"S-Sango?N-Now don't b-b-be rash!"Miroku said,trying to calm down the furious and enraged Sango.

"Miroku..."Sango said slowly as she quickly grabbed a hold of his robes and hoisted him up to her face level."Now,Miroku...you don't want to fill Shippo's mind with perverted thoughts,do you?"Sango asked slowly as Miroku just nodded mekely."Good.Now,you DO want to keep the few brain cells you have,right?"Miroku nodded again."Good,good.Now,I suggest you go sit down,be quiet,OR I'LL TURN YOU INSIDE OUT AND HANG YOU BY YOUR INARDS!"Sango yelled loudly as she gently set him down.Then she sat down as if nothing had happened.Miroku just looked at her,stunned and afraid,but mostly afraid.He just gulped slowly and crawled back to his seat.Miroku decided he wanted to live so he sat there quietly,nervously humming a song to himself.Always remember...never get women mad.Especially Sango!Miroku thought in fright as he started to prey to Kami that he wouldn't meet any women like Sango in the near future.

Shippo laughed silently as he thought,Idiot...Shippo had some entertainment,and now that it has ended,he decided he would play with the so called 'playing cards' from Kagome's era.So he reached inside in blue haori with the light blue seed prints on it and grabbed hold of the pack.

Meanwhile,Sesshomaru and Kouga were having a hard time trying not to laugh at the poor and stupid monk.Kouga had to keep his clawed hand over his mouth to keep a giggle from escaping his lips.And with Sesshomaru,he was having to tell himself to be cold and emotionless.But a small,like microscopic small,smile formed on his lips.I did not know that monk had any brain cells left.Sesshomaru thought to himself,almost laughing at the idea.But his smile turned into a grim grimace and his eyes turned cold with hatred.He had just picked up a scent he thought to be long gone.Black Dragon...Sesshomaru thought as he turned to Kouga,who had a confused expression on his face.

"Lord Sesshomaru,did you pick up on that new scent?Do you know it by any chance?"Kouga asked under his breath,so only Sesshomaru could hear him.

"Yes,I did, and I know that wretched scent anywhere."Sesshomaru,too,said it under his breath.

"Do you know anything about it?Anything we should know?"Kouga asked him,still talking in hushed whispers.

Sesshomaru didn't answer that time.Kouga got the message and didn't dare ask another question.But he decided to tell the others about the new scent and it was demon's.So Kouga speed up and to Kirara easily and was right next to their left.He kept up his pace easily and shouted for them to come closer.They complied and know they were at Kouga's level,Kirara dangerously coming close to the ground.

"Sesshomaru and I just picked up on a new scent.And we don't like it.And to make it worse,it's a demon's."Kouga said to them as he turned his gaze to the direction they were going."And it looks like whoever they are are trying to intercept us."Kouga growled out,the scent now getting stronger.

Sango nodded and readied her Hiraikotsu for any sudden attack.Miroku got out his sacred sutras because he no longer possessed the Wind Tunnel.Shippo hid behind Miroku's back and Sesshomaru kept his right hand on the hilt of Tokijin.

However,they all heard the little squeaky voice of none other than Myoga.Myoga had hopped onto Miroku's shoulder and was jumping up and down,screaming about how he knew something about the new demon.

"What's wrong,Myoga?Isn't it just another demon?"Sango asked as she leaned down to Miroku's shoulder.

"No!No!This is no ordinary demon!This demon will be much more difficult to defeat!"Myoga shouted to him,jumping up in down in emphasis.

"Really?Whis is that Myoga?"Miroku asked him as he turned turned his head to the old flea demon.

"Because!This demon was sent by Black Dragon!"Myoga said in a rush,urgency in his voice."Only the power of-"But Myoga was cut off as they heard an extremely loud roar.And it was close.Very close.

Meanwhile with Inuyasha,he had just reached Kaede's village and was rushing to Kaede's hut.Once he reached there,he violently shoved open the bamboo door and layed Kagome down gently near the fire.Kagome,in turn,scooted closer to the fire,trying to take in the heat.

"Kaede,ya old hag!Are you in here!"Inuyasha boomed,the old hut shaking at his loud voice.His eyes darted around wildly as he searched for the old priestess.His golden eyes rested on the other side of the room as he watched Kaede come in with an annoyed look on her face.

"Aye,I am Inuyasha.But did ye have to yell so loud?"Kaede scolded him as she looked to him with her good right eye.

"Yeah yeah,WHATEVER!But we got a problem here,ya old hag!"Inuyasha yelled at her as he pointed down to Kagome.

Kaede gasped as she looked upon Kagome.Kaede ran as fast as she could,which wasn't that fast considering she's very old,and knelt down to Kagome's side.No,this wasn't good at all.Kagome's skin had no color what-so-ever,it was ghostly white.Her lips were blue tinted like she had hypothermia,which was probably why she was so close to the fire.Sweat covered her face,along with dried blood,matting her messy black hair to her face.Her school uniform was torn and was badly stained with blood.Her breath was almost non-exsistent,and when you listened close enough,it sounded as if it took every ounce of Kagome's energy to take in every breath.Kaede shakily reached out her hand to Kagome's neck,trying to see if she could find Kagome's pulse.When her hand touched Kagome's skin, she found that she was ice cold,so cold that it made her fingers tremble.But she checked for pulse anyway and found that it was slow, and very hard to find.Kaede's hand moved up to her forehead and found that Kagome was burning up with fever.Kaede,wondering where the blood came from,lowered her hand back down to lift up Kagome's blouse.When she did,Kaede gasped in shock.There,in the middle of her stomach,was a huge gaping hole.Dried blood was caked around it and Kaede could see some of Kagome's inards and ribs. But what was worse,that there was a sickly white puss in there,indicating that there was an infection caused by poison.

"I-Inuyasha?H-How d-did this happen t-to Kagome?"Kaede asked shakily as she hurried to get a cloth and some water.

"Naraku attacked her,Kaede!He was the one who wounded her and crap,but I have some bad news!"Inuyasha yelled to her as she stopped half-way to the doorway.

"What is i-it?"Kaede,once again,asked shakily.

"Demons,Kaede!Demons are-"But Inuyasha was cut off as the scent of human blood drifted to his nose."DAMN!They're HERE!Take care of Kagome and I'll take care of the demons!"Inuyasha ordered as he ran outside to the chaos.

Kaede sighed sadly as she turned to Kagome's corpse like body.Inuyasha...I am not sure that I can help Kagome.For this is something that I have not encountered.Ye must take Kagome to her era,Inuyasha!Kaede thought as she tried her best to heal the dieing Kagome.

Outside,Inuyasha had gotten out his transformed Tetsusaiga and was slashing at every demon he had smelt earlier.But the strange thing was,there was only four.Well,four big and strong ones,that is.Everytime he attacked,they either blocked or counter-attacked.He tried his Wind Scar,but it didn't seem it was working.Inuyasha was getting irritated,like he always does,and dodged a claw that was meant to squish him.Inuyasha was about to attack when he got an idea.Wait...they keep on blocking my attacks and irritating me,so I would attack,so then I'll get tired.That means if I irritate them,they'll eventually get tired!BETTER YET!I can use my Back Lash Wave!Inuyasha thought as he smirked at them in anticipation.

Inuyasha jumped up in the air and landed on one of the demon's head.He smirked as he began to beat on it's head like a drum.It didn't take long for the demon to get irritated and tried to hit Inuyasha.Of course,Inuyasha jumped off in time and made the demon hit itself. The demon growled menacily at him as he showed his sharp fangs,the fangs stained red at the tips.

Inuyasha merely smirked and jumped on another one.He smirked wider as he pulled on it's ears very hard.The demon,in turn,shrieked in pain and started to claw at Inuyasha.Inuyasha just smirked,and once again,jumped off in time.He landed back onto the ground with the smirk at his face as the demon growled at him with blood lust in it's eyes.

Inuyasha jumped up into the air again and landed on the third demon's head.This one had horns,so he decided to cut them off.With his Tetsusaiga still in hand,he made a graceful arc with it and the horns where reduced to stubs.The part of the horns that he did cut off fell to the ground with a loud 'crash' and shattered the fragile horns.Inuyasha,knowing that demon would try to kill him now,jumped off again and landed on the ground,smirking at the three overly ticked off demons.

One more to go.Inuyasha thought as he looked to the last,which had a long tail with a spikes at the end.Inuyasha looked to the demon with humor in his eyes,and jumped over it's head,landing behind the confused demon.And in an instant,Inuyasha brought down Tetsusaiga on the tail,cutting it off from the body.The demon gave a howl in pain as the heavy tail brought up dust from the ground.With the tail being cut off,it had sprayed blood,splattering all over Inuyasha's kimono,making it a little redder than before.Inuyasha smirked in triumpth and jumped over it's head and landing right in front of them,all four of them glaring heatedly at him.

"So are you going to attack me or what?Because from what I just did,you four are weaker than I thought."Inuyasha said cooly as he stuck Tetsusaiga in the ground,leaned on its hilt,and studied his claws in a bored manner.

The demons gave a loud roar and each sent a energy blast to Inuyasha,four powerful energy blasts.One was a ice blast,the other fire, another dark energy,and the last,electricity.They joined to gether,three of them swirling around one,and shot towards Inuyasha with inhuman speed.

Inuyasha merely smirked as he saw them finally attack.This will be your downfall.Inuyasha thought as he took Tetsusaiga out of the ground and got into his battle stance.His eyes glowed with anticipation as he watched the energy blast head straight towards him.And when it was close enough,he raised the mighty sword above his head,and boomed over everything:

"BACKLASH WAVE!"

The blast errupted from the sword and headed towards the energy.When they met,the unexpected happened.

It exploded.

In a forest far off in the distance,a lone figure stopped walking and turned their head.It revealed to be a beautiful young demoness with royal markings upon her face.The woman narrowed her eyes at the direction she was looking at,for she had caught the scent of her most hated enemy.Black Dragon.The woman thought as anger radiated off her body.Her eyes glowed red for a second,but it would have been unnoticeable to anyone who was there.The unknown woman narrowed her eyes a little more,malice and hate shining in her eyes,and broke into a run towards the north.Green and brown blurs passed by her as the creatures moved out of the wayof 'The Great One' so that she could run.Her eyes glowed with a great hatred and loathing as she ran past trees,boulders,and any other thing that crossed her path.Black Dragon,you will not hurt my sister again.You took her away from me eleven years ago,you killed my parents five years ago,and know youare trying to kill my sister.I will not allow this.Not now.Not ever.The Great One thought in determination as she picked up her speed,the wind rushing past her,making her clothes and hair billowing in the wind.Do not worry sister.I will not let Black Dragon take you again.
