InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Tiers Of the Fallen ❯ Chapter 5

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
Authors note: I enjoyed having a long chapter, so instead of the five minute stories, your getting a whole hours worth! Just to let you know, most of the time when Takashi and Norio talk it goes in order as Takashi, then Norio, unless I say other wise. One thing, the fallens’ histories take place way before this story, so that gives me a reason to say things about their lives

Disclaimer: I’m out of witty comments for, I do not legally own any characters from the Inuyasha series, I do how ever own all 32 fallen, take them and die!

Chapter-05 Take me away

Kagome is resting on the couch, Inuyasha is still up and about along with Takashi, and Norio. Takashi grabs his automatic rifle, and checks the clip. Norio starts aiming at things with his. Inuyasha asks if we would need to use one of these things. They told him take one and defend Kagome.

“Do you think we can hold them? I never mentioned but we have an ten percent survival rate.”

“That high, wow we might have a chance.” Norio says in a sarcastic manner

“I called for reinforcements, they wont make it. Naizen is leading the attack against us.”

“The chief’s brother himself eh?”

“Yeah, good thing he follows orders, its most likely, they’ll take this opportunity to capture us four, despite the number we kill.”

“Well If its Naizen, they he will attack with forty guys.”

“Fuck, we will die then.” he says with a smile on his face

“Well what should we do, you all ways were the better strategist?

“You take one side of the entrance, I’ll take the other side, we attack once the third row passes.”

Out side light starts flashing, and thunder can be heard, it starts to rain pretty hard. Their tracks would be seen making it hard for them to act covertly.

“Yeah rain, now it’s more dramatic.”

“The rain falls, the hearts of the strongest warrior cannot face the power of the storm.”

“Was that an attempt at something poetic?”

“ Yeah, I’m no good at it, but at least I try.”

“You’re pathetic. Now we have about ten minutes, should we suit up?”

“We don’t have them here.”

“Well, I’m going to tell the kids that we might not make it.” Takashi leaves the room, and head towards where Inuyasha left

Kagome is up and showing Inuyasha the basics of a gun, they both look up at him, he doesn’t have the normally cheery look on his face, he looks more like he is going to die in a fight that he cannot avoid.

“ I never mentioned this, but there is a good chance we will fail you, you can run anymore, if you are caught we will save you. As far as you know, your lives are over, you will never be the same again... Forgive me.” He walks out of the room, slowly.

Norio is ready to go, he awaits his orders. Takashi just nods, and they both walk out of the room into the rain

“Our lives our over, we need to give them a chance at living.”

“Takashi, weren’t we dead from the start?”

“ Take your positions, they are just a click away”

“Roj that.”

The two take their respective positions, they kneel into the mud, sinking in a bit, they can hear them marching forward. They nod at each other. They wait for about five minutes until the first rank passes, then the next, and finally show time. The gunfire spreads too almost all the units, the third rank was obliterated, the second spread out far enough that they could take defensive positions. Takashi runs straight for the second rank, knowing no matter what, if he stayed put he would die faster. He fire multiple shots at three soldiers one hitting a soldier in the face, two hit the next guy in the chest and arm, but one bounces off what little armor the last one has on. They don’t nearly have as much armor as Naizen did. Naizen wore the same suit of armor as he did when he raided the Higurashi residence. Naizen walked straight into Norio’s line of fire, all the shots bouncing off his armor. He begins to run right at him, firing his weapon twice, hitting him in the shoulder, and one in the gut.

“Don’t kill a single one of them, despite how many they get of us, leave them where they lay, we want only two!” Naizen yells

Takashi drives his gun into the gut of a soldier and fires to kill him, he uses his body as a shield and continues to fire at the enemies though the corps. Naizen walk up to Takashi, and knocks the body out of his way, and fires right at his chest.

“How many did we loose?”

“Fourteen, sir.” a soldier says

“Good, now remember we want the next two. Only use tranquilizers on them.” He looks at Takashi, who is barley alive. “Impudent whelp, you shouldn’t have left.”

The rest continue their march towards the house, Inuyasha readies his gun, but draws the tetsusaiga. Kagome’s ears hurt from the gun fight, she had never heard anything so loud. They both hear the doors break down, Inuyasha readies his sword, as soon as the first man approaches, Inuyasha cuts him in half, he continues his follow through to attack the next man, and slices him, but no kill, he has enough life left in him to point his gun, but Inuyasha punches him in the face and finishes him. The next two fire shots off at Inuyasha both deflected buy the tetsusaiga. And Inuyasha starts to swing it, but a man hits him with a tranquilizer, and he slowly stops and falls. Kagome is next and is downed much quicker. Inuyasha still holds on to consciousness, when Naizen walks into the room, the second he steps in lighting flashes, and that’s the last thing, Inuyasha sees before he is knocked out.

“Take these two in...Funny, he wasn’t UXF-04 at all oh well.”

“Sir, what should we do about the other Fallen?”

“Leave them, their buddies, will pick them up.”

They begin to march out with Kagome’s and Inuyasha’s bodies being carted away. Takashi lies there watching was they leave, he isn’t going to die soon. Naizen kneels next to him.

“ I won’t kill you, you and your friend will be fine tomorrow. Now it’s not to late to plea forgiveness, and come back.” Takashi barely makes out a ‘never’ and just quits trying to move “ Suit your self. bye for now.” He starts to laugh

‘Kagome...Inuyasha... forgive me’ He thinks to himself
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next day, Takashi and Norio are in the house, being nursed by Asako, and Eiko, just two of the few female fallen. As soon as Takashi awakes, he tries to stand, but is told not to by Asako.

“ Asako, It’s good to see your face.” She smiles at him

“ I wouldn’t move if I were you, you took a bad hit, be thankful you weren‘t killed.” She says in a calm voice

“I wish he did kill me, that way, I could know I went out with a fight... Damn it I failed them, I can never face them now!”

“Takashi, you did all you could, we came as soon as you requested. You’ll be happy to know that we got in Roheito with out a hitch.”

“You did! Are they ok?” She nods

“We are going to get them back. The girl isn’t going to last long there if we leave her there, and the boy, well its obvious that he’s coming too.”

“How’s Norio?” She begins to show a sad face

“He’s not doing to well, it’s a miracle that he lasted this long.”

“ What, he took less injuries than me, he just go shot in the gut, I saw it myself!”

“ After you were out, he got up and tried to kill Naizen, he was shot in the heart.”

“Oh god no. I knew he would do something like that!”

“Eiko is looking after him, it’s killing her to see him like this.”

“Poor girl, she loved him so much. How is she taking it?”

“ I offered to take care of him... but she wouldn’t let me.” She hangs her head, so her eyes can’t bee seen. “I feel responsible, I shouldn’t have let her.”

“You didn’t answer my question Asako.”

“I think she’ll stop caring about everything if he dies. She’ll almost die of a broken heart.”

“I think she needs you more than I do.” She nods and walks away
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Norio, are you in pain?”

“I hear... voices, voices of angels. I must go soon Eiko.”

“Don’t talk like that Norio.” A tear falls from her eye, down to chin

“They say... They say you can see things clearly when you are moments from death.”

“Norio please stop.” Another tear falls from her eye

“ Please forgive me Eiko, I never wanted to hurt you. Heh, I was a damn fool to try an do that. Eiko, I ask you one thing.”

“Anything my dearest.”

“Take me away, a million miles away. I want to be freed from the pain, of having to live day after endless day in fear of them.”

“Norio, you mustn't talk like that!” She cries out to him

“I love you, Eiko, and I always will. Just please, don’t cry over me, be thankful others live. My death is meaningless, for all you know I never existed, there is no proof, but what was tangible were my feeling to you... God I hate pathetic last words, you know that.” She slowly nods, crying. “ Please, you must still go on my love, right now there are two people who need help, two young lives that still have a chance, I lived long enough. Pashaa! I would’ve been killed sooner or later by them.”

“Please Norio, please just stop, stop it!” She shakes her head, really trying to forget her pain.

“It’s time for me to go now, I will never leave you, as long as you never forget me.”

“Your so corny.” She kisses him on the lips one last time

“Thank you, please live for me.” Those are his last words. She shakes her head

“No.. No NOOOO! Please, no! Don’t leave me Norio... NORIO! Please, you can’t leave me!” Her body goes limp, she collapses on him, her face crying in his chest.

Asako, walk into the room at that time. She knows that she was too late, too late to even comfort her, she had loved him so much.

“ Eiko, it’s ok, I’ll miss Norio too, but” She gets cut off

“But nothing!” She yells at her “ Norio is dead, and there is nothing anyone can do about it! He’s gone, he’s... dead.” her voice goes silent. “Forgive me Norio, I cannot keep your promise” She reaches for her back holster and draws her gun.

“Eiko, no! Don’t do it, it’s not worth it please!” She hurries over to Eiko to stop her

“ I have nothing else, why should I live in pain, good bye.” She places the gun to her head, and pulls the trigger. Her lifeless body falls upon Norio’s lifeless body.

Asako backs away, before she screams. The scream was so scared and cold that it practically killed the other two in the house.

“I... I am a fool, damn it I knew she wouldn’t take it easy, but if she didn’t see him die with her own eyes, maybe, just maybe.” She begins to cry and slides down to her knees. Takashi, limps into the room, he knows as much as Asako would from her scream and the gun shot. He sits next to her and puts his head on her shoulder.

“There was nothing you could do, and don’t give me any crap about you could. Time was against you.”

“I know” she says in a soft quiet voice.

“Now, aren’t there some kids that need to be saved?”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kagome is thrown into a room, it is a white room. it has a whole wall window, the window overlooks a very dark room, she sees Inuyasha on a table, it looks like an operating table. she looks closer at it, Inuyasha has electrodes attached to him, the only light is from the monitor, that is monitoring his vital signs. Kagome goes to touch the window, as soon as she touches it, the door behind her opens, and two men dresses in armor walk in, one closes the door, the other stands by Kagome.

“What do you want with me?” She says in a very monotone voice. He just point out the window, with his gun

Two men are walking into the both dragging different carts, the both of them nod their head. one of them injects a needle into Inuyasha’s left arm, and begins to draw blood. The other man checks Inuyasha’s vitals.

“Shall we begin?” Kagome can hear them through the glass, almost as if she were supposed to hear.

“Indeed we shall.” The man puts Inuyasha’s blood sample in a machine, the machine interestingly has wheels and carts it’s self off. “We’ll get the results on him later, this one seems different some how.”

The two men begin a series of test on Inuyasha. The two men in Kagome’s cell begin to tense up, almost as if they were getting ready for a fight.

“ Believe it or not we are here to help” one of them says almost inaudible to Kagome’s human ears

“Why? Aren’t you with them?” He shakes his head no

“We are here to save you, there are eight of us in side this complex, and twenty outside, readying for an attack. No doubt we are the fallen, I bet you have heard of.” He says in the same tone. Kagome just nods

“What are they going to do to Inuyasha.” She points out the window

“ They are going to take his DNA and use it in human research... Now I know why you are here!” He says a little loud “They are going to try and change your DNA to that of a hanyou’s.”

“They can’t do that. Can they?” Kagome starts to tense up.

“By your outlook on modern tech, no they can’t, but the truth is these people could turn you into a sewer rat if they wanted. The public only knows that they are trying to break new grounds in human genetic research. They’re breaking new grounds all right! Just not how you were told.” He pauses “ Its just they never turned a human into a hanyou before, so they would need a test subject.” He turns to Kagome. He looks at a clock, built into his heads, up display, in his visor. “It’s time.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Out side there are twenty of people out side. All of them clad in the same armor as the two with Kagome. They are all crowded around blue prints of the building, there are many plotted points on it, and four paths, the map has a series of vertical and horizontal lines drawn on it. one man is briefing the whole group

“Ok, its 15:00 hours, this attack is meant to end at 15:30 a minute later would get us all killed! Now Taisho, take Baiko, Eichiro, Haru, and Jin. You will be team alpha, I am counting an you guys to lead the attack. now you will take nav point Charlie and hold for my signal, eliminate any one who gets in your way.” Taisho nods “Harumi.” She looks towards him. “Pay attention closely! I want you to Take Hitomi, Haru, Jin, and Ichiro. You will be team beta. You will B-line to nav point Zulu.” She nods. He goes on “Kaii, you take, Saya, Tokiko, Hideo, and Kadonomaro. You five will play as a diversion, while my team sneaks in, I’m sorry I have to do this, so you must take and hold nav point beta for three minutes. You will be team Delta. Now My team will consist of Koji, Masaru, Shihei, and Tetsuya. We will be team omega. We will extract the captives at nav point alpha. we have two men already at the second captive, we will save both, if either dies, or is lost, mission failed! We cannot afford this loss to happen again!” Everyone nods

“ Why am I not in your team Taru?” Hitomi asks

Taru stand up from the map, and looks at Hitomi. “Because, Naizen is waiting for us there.” He looks away “ Thanks to Yosai, we got eight people in before the raid, Anzai, Nami, Naoko, Rei, Jun, Kaz, and Sho. If they are found out, they will die, so we must draw their attention while they knock out the security system. We have a four percent casualty rate, lets make it zero and all come back alive!”

All of them break into their groups. Team Alpha flanks the left side of the building, team beta on the right, team delta rushes straight for the main entrance, and place the demolitions on the door. Team omega waits for the bomb to go off. Once it goes off, all the guards within an two meter radius of the door, are killed in the explosion. Every team except for omega rush into the building, bullets ping off of their armor, but their fire is more precise. About twenty guards are slaughtered in an instant. The massacre continues when the teams break into their separate groups and head into the specific positions they are meant to hold. At this time team omega rushes the door.

~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Alright go time” one of the guys guarding Kagome says as they take Kagome out of the room.

The other six in the complex, proceed to the control facility, once they get there, it is completely deserted. This is indeed what it looks like, but the defense system has been activated, and will take more time to deactivate it. more time than they can afford, they just proceed to help the other teams.

“ The defense system has no override we can’t pass it the time given, well just have to manage!” Everyone hears on the communications link in their suits.

Yosai and Anzai begin to make their way to the exit, when they are ambushed by three soldiers

“Cover your ears girl!” Both of them open fire and nail each of them in the chest “Target is neutralized! Now lets move our asses!”

Team Delta reaches their nav point and are immediately surrounded, by forty units, and Naizen.

“Ha! You Flaming idiots, prepare to meet your demise!” He give the signal and a large fire fight begins. some time in that fight a Fallen gets knocked down, never to get back up.

“Kadonomaro is down!” They can barely hear Kaii yell, the gunshots are almost deafening to them all.

Taru receives a transition, he can only make out a few phrases, ‘pinned down’ and ‘unit lost’ he gives a grim sigh and goes on. They reach the area where Inuyasha is, the two doctors in the room, pull out and guns. One shot heads straight for Taru’s right eye, he turns his head but it still shatters the glass in his helmet, so re removes it, making him very vulnerable. Inuyasha is immediately awoke, by the sound of gunfire. The two doctors are restrained as Shihei and Tetsuya dart behind them, faster than they could aim and shoot.

“Easy enough, now remove target A.” Masaru approaches Inuyasha, and begins removing his restraints.

“Who the hell are you?” Inuyasha says in a gruff voice

“Well if you don’t want me to save you I guess you can just stay here.” Taru shoots him an evil glare “Alright, alright, I’ll remove him from the table! Yeesh!” He does so, and Inuyasha isn’t limp at all, he goes to grab his tetsusaiga and it isn’t there.

“HEY! Where’s my fucking sword!”

“It’s in the second shelf to your right.” One of the doctors says.

Inuyasha opens the shelf and sure enough it’s there, he grabs it and Shihei falls to the ground. Naizen is standing behind where Shihei once was. Taru looks dead into his eyes, even though he can’t see them.

“Brother, so good of you to come back, your group of fallen annihilated my whole force, so I decided to get even, by having your half brothers die.” Taru then realizes the other unit was Kadonomaro.

“Damn it they were your brothers too you sick bastard!” Naizen just get a smirk on his face

“Only you and I are. Our ‘brothers’, they were just relatives, regular annoying relatives. Now, my orders are to let you go, believe it or not, but we all ready know how many were to die today, so your free to go.” Taru balls his fist and squeezes hard enough to break through the Kevlar, with his claws.

“ YOU BASTARD! How could you do such a thing to family? You are scum!”

“ I would suggest you leave before my orders change, you know we have enough men here to kill you all five times over.”
Taru just growls and Masaru picks up the corps of Shihei. Taru issues a full retreat. Since all the objectives have been accomplished all of them hurry outside, to their transport vehicle that was several miles away, so as not to get detected. It just so happened to be an aircraft.

Once airborne, Kagome rushes to Inuyasha, and embraces him, Inuyasha is a bit shocked at first, but soon holds her too.

“I’m happy we made it out alive. I though you died, when I heard Yosai say some one was killed.”

“Yeah, but I’m here, and Kagome...” She looks deep into his eyes “Get off of me.” Kagome lets go, and is annoyed With Inuyasha

“SIT!” THUMP!
