§ Forbidden Allies §
The demon horde attacked.
The monk, Varon, quickly darted out of the way of Inuyasha’s sword. A good thing, too, noted Shippo, as he glanced at the hanyou’s golden eyes. The anger and bloodlust at losing Kagome had gone to the half demon’s head. There was no telling in this point of time whether he’d recognize friend from foe.
Inuyasha leapt from the ground, starting his counter-attack. The fully-transformed Tetsusagia swept through the demons’ weak forms with ease. Countless fell to the ground, unmoving, but the forest beyond was still emptying itself of their total numbers.
Shippo shivered. The sight of Inuyasha this way reminded of the times he’d reverted to his full demon form. The little kitsune only hoped things wouldn’t turn out now like they did back then.
“Inuyasha!” Miroku called from the edge of the clearing. “These demons must have lain in wait for us. Pay heed, there may be more in store then what currently meets the eye!”
A squeak escaped Shippo’s throat. A demon had found his hiding place, and now charged toward the fox. He scrambled for something to distract the demon and give himself time to escape, but the enemy was closing in fast. Abruptly a scroll flashed in front of his face, striking the demon directly in the chest. It howled, and exploded into light. Shippo looked around to see a smiling Varon. The monk gave the kitsune a thumbs-up, and turned to purify another demon behind him.
Hiraksou spun through another arriving batch, returning expertly to Sango’s hand. The demon’s advance had finally slowed to a trickle, of which Miroku quickly took care of. Shippo cautiously emerged from the pack, and ran to Inuyasha’s side. Not a single demon had escaped. The surrounding field was covered with mangled bodies. The slaughter had ended.
“Now what?” said Miroku.

Inuyasha drove the Tetsusagia’s tip into the ground. His chest fought for the air the intense battle had refused his body. His arms, burdened with the weight of the Tetsusagia, shook from the stress. Even so, he knew the fight was not yet over. A large demonic presence raced towards the group from the same direction the demons had emerged from. Whoever had taken Kagome was determined for him not to find her.
He was going to find her, even if it cost him his life.
“Inuyasha, I presume you can sense that aura?” said Varon. He nodded. “Good. Then I ask you this, do not do anything rash. This may be a chance to find out where the Lady Kagome is being held.”
“Whoever said I was being rash, monk?”
“You have this quality about you Inuyasha, one I don’t trust. Please do me a favor, and save your anger for later time? You’ll live a lot longer.”
“What makes you think you’ll be able to handle this?”
“Because I recognize this aura.”
A gust of wind rolled through the clearing. Inuyasha sniffed the air, and stiffened. The demon’s scent was unique, and one Inuyasha knew would haunt his life forever.
Miroku snatched up his staff. “Inuyasha,” he said, “that is the aura of ….”
The demon calmly strode into the clearing. Long white hair gently cascaded across the back of his kimono, and the markings of the crescent moon were clearly evident across his forehead.
“….Sesshomaru.”
“Lord Seshomaru! Have you new information on the whereabouts of the St’aler?” called Varon.
Sesshomaru stopped his advance, his eyes appraising the bloody scene. His gaze took in Inuyasha, and his face became cold and hard. “Varon, why do you conspire with these humans? Have you become that desperate to seek the help of a half demon?” Inuyasha growled loudly.
Varon glanced to his companions. “Miroku here is a friend from my village. He too is aware of the grave situation concerning our dilemma. I require his help to find the St’aler and dispose of it, nothing more. These people will be great asset to our search, Sesshomaru. I need them, and unfortunately, so do you. I’m sure you and this…” Varon smiled sympathetically at Inuyasha, “….half demon will be able to work out a plan.” The monk gestured toward the scene in the clearing. “I believe we were just attacked by those who know who we are, what we are doing. They would not have made such a reckless move if we not near our goal. Such an attempt has only made their position more open to our search. We need to keep moving, Sesshomaru, or else, we’ll never find them.”
Sesshomaru nodded. The ice gaze turned to his brother. “Inuyasha,” he said, “it’s been a while, hasn’t it.” The demon turned to Varon. “You may not have realized this, monk, but Inuyasha is my half-brother. He and I… may not be the best choice for a partnership. I will work alone on our plan. However…” His gaze shifted back to Inuyasha’s own. “I have some information my dear brother may want to hear.”
“What?” Inuyasha said. “Why would you come to me to give up information when the last time we met you tried to kill us?”
“Inuyasha,” said Sesshomaru, “as you now see, my interests have temporarily changed. I will be back to inherit what is rightfully mine, but as of now, situations require my attention elsewhere. If you want to continue our battle now, you may proceed, but you may not live to save your petty woman.”
“Where the hell did you find out about Kagome!” snarled Inuyasha. “Wait, do you where she is? Is that the information you came to tell me? Spit it out!”
“Patience, brother. I suggest you look for the girl in canyons east of here. Varon, if our enemies are indeed those who have taken Kagome, you may be able to find a clue to your search there.” Sesshomaru eyed the group. “I would hurry if I were you. They will leave by morning.”
“Then it’s settled.” Varon settled his pack upon his shoulder. “I’ll set out now, and make the canyon edge by sundown. It should be easy to gather some intelligence and journey back in the morning.”
“I don’t want intelligence of this… whatever new ‘threat’ this is!” sputtered Inuyasha. “I am going to get Kagome back tonight, whether you agree or not.”
“Inuyasha, may be it would best to wait…”
“Varon,” Miroku interrupted, “I believe Inuyasha is right. We must rescue Lady Kagome as soon as possible, lest the enemy find they have no more use for her. Now is only option we may have.”
“You must decide quickly, Varon. You have little time to waste.” Sesshomaru turned away from the group. “I must take my leave, Inuyasha. Use my information as you see fit. But remember this, the next time we meet, we are enemies once more.”
Inuyasha watched as his brother walked off to the forest, disappearing into the trees. His brother was a strange and dangerous man, he figured. However, in his heart, Inuyasha that he owed his brother one.
“Come on, Varon. We have no time to waste.”
