Naruto Fan Fiction / InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The War of Survival ❯ Kagome's True Form ( Chapter 5 )

Chapter 5
Kagome’s true form

“Kiba, why is Akamaru trembling?” Hinata asked.

“Akamaru has the ability to sort out a person’s chakra. I guess he’s never sensed someone this powerful before. No wonder why the poor guy is scared.” Akamaru crawled beneath Kiba’s jacket for safety.

“Hinata, can you look what’s happening in a couple of meters from here?” Shino directed. She looked at him and nodded. Hinata put her hands together and said “Byakugan!” Veins popped out from the sides of her eyes as her power mentally took her to the source. Hinata gasped as she saw a girl crouching on the ground with enormous black chakra leaking from her body. Only the sound of Kiba’s voice brought her back.

“It’s that girl with the mask. Black chakra is leaking from her body and she made short shrieks of pain.” Hinata said quietly. Kiba looked down in thought.

“Kiba, should we see what is happening?” Shino’s voice broke his train of thought.

“We should check it out. Just in case. Let’s go.” They all took off towards the source. ‘What ever this girl is, she’s definitely not human.’ Kiba thought as he leapt from tree to tree.

As Sasuke leapt from branch to branch, he realized all of the chakra that was flowing around him. He knew it was getting a little bit harder to breathe because of the pressure in the atmosphere around him. Finally, he saw who was creating such power. As shocked as he was, he couldn’t believe it was his own teammate, the mysterious and suspicious one out of the bunch. He watched the black chakra leak from various spots on her body. Kagome was on her knees, her head bowed and the chakra whipping her wild dark red hair. From where he stood, he noticed that from her nose to her chin stuck out a little more and her back was arched so far that he thought it wasn’t possible for a human to do. He watched Kagome fight her way to stand and turn to look at him. He saw her glowing red eyes for the first time. She then squeezed her eyes shut and let out another loud yowl as a tail grew out from her lower back.

‘I have to get out of here! Further into the mountains should cover it.’ Kagome thought. She still had control in her legs so she sped off towards the snowcapped mountains. Sasuke stood there in disbelief. He quickly decided that staying quiet would be the best thing to do. Soon he heard footsteps behind him so he turned.

“Sasuke, did you find out who it was?” Naruto questioned. He looked around and noticed the scorched ground and trees. Naruto turned and heard footsteps become louder as they neared. It was Team 9.

“I suppose you felt it too?” Kiba said

“We need to go.” Sasuke said abruptly.

“Huh?” Naruto said, obviously confused.

“In a few minutes this place will be crawling with Shinobi and ANBU. I don’t know about you but I don’t feel like getting interrogated right now. If you choose to go, then that’s the better choice.” Sasuke dashed as far away as possible from the spot.

“Sasuke is right. We should leave before we get into any further trouble. Come on, Naruto.” Sakura said. Kiba watched them go.

“Sasuke was the first one here before anyone of his teammates got here. He must’ve seen something.” Shino said suspiciously.

“You’re right Shino. He must’ve seen who this person was.” Kiba looked at the scorched ground.

“We can interrogate him later, for now; let’s get as far away from here as possible.” Shino said as he dashed off. Kiba nodded to Hinata and both quickly followed suit.

Kagome struggled with the demon inside as she ran through the snowcapped mountains. The strain had soon gotten to her so she stopped in a valley and continued to fight the demon within.

“I am like you’re sister, Kagome. I am apart of you! But as a dog you can not keep me caged in forever. The jewel has awakened me. I must be let out!!” The demon raged.

“Why, so you can kill any innocent that is close by?” Kagome held her head as it thrummed.

“I need to run free. We are too far away from civilization of any kind. Trust me.” Kagome hesitated but knew they were in the middle of nowhere and that every town around them was far out of danger. She loosened her hands and untied her mask to let it fall to the ground.

With a small whisper she said “You can come out now.” She felt herself change and shift like nothing before. Her mouth and nose turned into a snout while red fur covered her body. Her hands and feet turned into massive paws, her ears grew into dog ears. Her body transformed into an enormous dog that towered over the trees in the valley. The bright Red Crescent moon could be seen on her forehead, her black stripes stood out on each side of her face. The demon tilted her head back and roared into the moonlight.


Somewhere in the mountains a couple of miles away………….


“Huh?” A man with strangely long white hair looked toward the valley. ‘This aura, it’s so powerful.’ He thought. A roar echoed through the cold air as the moon was uncovered by the clouds. With great speed, he dashed off towards the valley. When he reached a cliff, he looked down and saw a demon dog running around and tearing up the trees. He narrowed his amber eyes as he watched the destruction. The moon shone upon his pale face, revealing two purple stripes along each cheek and a blue crescent moon that was almost hidden by his bangs. Suddenly, the dog stopped and looked his way. The dog barred her teeth at him as he started to transform. A much bigger dog with white fur accepted the challenge.

‘A pup, interesting.’ He thought as he landed in front of her. He growled at her and used the dog language to communicate.

“Submit.”

“Female will not submit!” She lunged for him but he was too quick. He rolled her over and smacked his paw on her chest, pinning her down with much pressure.

“Submit.” His patience was now wearing thin.

“Female will not submit to male!” She wrapped her tail around one of his hind legs and pulled him off of her. She then swung one paw at him and hit him square in the face. She lunged again but missed as he jumped aside. He took his jaws and dug them deep in her side until she began to bleed. She howled in pain and swished her tail to knock him away. He let go and dodged her attack. She then faked one way and went the other and sunk her teeth in his arm. She held him there while clawing him with her claws. He then pushed her off and pinned her with all of his weight.

“Submit!!” When she didn’t answer, he slid his paw to her throat and watched her narrow her eyes before her body went limp.

“Female….submits.” He got off of her as she struggled to get on all fours. He then transformed back into his humanoid form. She hesitated but transformed as well. Kagome was on her hands and knees, her hair covering her face as she tore two pieces of cloth that served as her temporary mask. When she was done, she stood and faced him.

“Who are you?” she asked. He was wearing a white juban with a white haori that had red sakura blossoms and matching hakamas.

“It should be me asking you the same question.” His voice was deep and dangerous and said it without emotion at all. His face was an emotionless mask. Not a hint of happiness or sadness, anger or hate.

“My name is Kagome Higurashi of the spirit village. Who are you?” she saw him hesitate.

“I am Sesshomaru Akanata of the leaf village. A pup like you put up a good fight. Usually no one gets me to a bleeding point, demon or human.”

“Why are you here?”

“Hmm, I was passing through the mountains when I heard your call.”

“Why didn’t you ignore it?” Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes.

“You don’t know anything about yourself, do you? Who were you raised by?”

“No I don’t and I was raised by humans. Both my mother and my father were human. My father left when I was born and my mother was slaughtered but the village men. They thought she carried the same traits.”

“That can not be possible. To be a demon, you must have demon parents. To be a half breed, you must have one demon parent. What you say are lies.”

“Believe what you want. As long as I know that I’m telling the truth, it doesn’t bother me.” Kagome spotted her head band a few yards away and started towards it. She then picked it up and shoved it into her pocket. She suddenly remembered that Hikarimono was looking for a Sesshomaru Akanata. “Hikarimono said that he had business with a Sesshomaru Akanata. What do you know of it?”

“I don’t know any by the name of Hikarimono.”

“Hmm, very well. Good bye Akanata.” Sesshomaru watched her run off toward the leaf village. He then turned to the northwest and continued walking in that direction.
