'Once I Was' : Ascension
Chapter 1: Week One
Blood, blood painted everything she saw the smell invaded her mind and pushed her forward. Heads rolled, bones broke, none stood against her fury. The once shine of her blade was dulled by the endless trails of blood. Vaguely she heard the others fighting as well, but even their sounds were drowned out by the screams of enemies falling to her blade.
She did not know long she had been fighting though she was tried but still she fought on nothing would prevent her from surviving. She was to slow and from out of no where there was an large gust of wind that threw her through the air. Time slowed and for a moment she heard not a thing except for the ringing in her ears.
BOOM
Just as quickly time started again as she felt herself impact with a tree. She felt her blade shatter against her flesh. One face flashed through her mind then . . .
Sango and Miroku had fought their way through the crowd of youkai that had attacked them until none stood where they did. The two looked at one another panting for a breath and took off to help Inu Yasha.
"Wind Scar," They heard, light filled the clearing then screams. When everything was once again quite the two looked at see only Inu Yasha standing in the now clearing leaning heavily on his sword. They rushed forward happy to see their companion alive, but still worried about their other two companions. When Sesshoumaru had decided to take Kagome with him on his patrol Inu Yasha, Sango and Miroku went as well to become familiar with the routine. As a gift to Sesshoumaru and Kagome after they mate, the three planned on taking over a few nights a week so the couple could have more time together. They were excepting to encounter a few fights but this this was insane. The youkai came from no where and attacked the group for seemingly no reason.
Inu Yasha stood after a few minutes and sheathed his sword looking around.
"Oi, where's Kagome and my brother?"
"We were going to ask you the same thing. It was hours ago that we saw Lord Sesshoumaru then we were separated."
"You think Lady Kagome is with Lord Sesshoumaru?" Miroku spoke.
"Kami I hope so . . Let's go . . there is fighting that way but I can't tell from the screams who's killing who," Inu Yasha pointed to the left of where they were.
An explosion filled his pointed ears from far away, he heard the sounds of her pain in his mind. Even as the fear of loosing her wrapped around his heart, he fought his way through the youkai. They were thinning then a sound ripped through the air and they stilled their attacks and fled.
Sesshoumaru whirled around preparing to cut down the intruders that we speeding toward him. Inu Yasha rolled out of the way as Tokijin sliced through the air. Sango and Miroku came to a complete stop staring at the red eyed Taiyoukai they looked around worried. Nothing but bodies and still no Kagome.
"Oi what was that for ?" Inu Yasha growled jumping to his feet. Sesshoumaru said nothing they watched as he turned his nose to the air and howled in fury. He couldn't smell Kagome any where, he turned in the direction the youkai fled toward and raced off. He could feel her and she was in pain. When he caught who ever it was they would pay with their lives for hurting her.
"COME ON INU YASHA," Sango yelled as her and Miroku took off in the same direction. They were thinking the same thing he had found Kagome. No matter how exhausted they were if she was still fighting they would fight as well.
"Keh, hurry up then," Inu Yasha spoke as he took to the trees jumping from limb to limb above their heads. 'hold on Kagome were coming, just hold on' Inu Yasha thought hearing his brothers' growls ahead of him.
The sight that greeted them was horrible, the forest was gone huge craters littered the ground. Mangled bodies and pools of blood painted everything that was standing. The ground was even burnt in one section . Sesshoumaru was just ahead of them seemingly doing nothing but growling. The three walked toward him slowly their eyes widen when they lit upon the scene. A group of youkai were gathered around the downed figure of Kagome. Every time she moved some unknown energy would shock her until she was still again. She was bloody everywhere her once white outfit was torn and bloody her raven hair bloody as well covered her face. She was bent forward on her knees only her arms kept her upper half off the ground. The three went to step forward only to stopped by Sesshoumaru as his arm shot out.
"Do I have your attention now Western Lord?" a bloody elemental youkai step forward smirking.
"And now that you have this Sesshoumaru's attention what is it you want scum?" His voice cold and sharp.
"Now now Western Lord," The youkai mocked and again the energy rose up shocking Kagome. They watched as her nails dug into the dirt under her, they heard the breath forcible expelled from her body then saw the blood as it hit the grass.
"Stop it you bastard. What ever it is you want with my brother leave Kagome out of it," Inu Yasha growled.
"That's where your wrong hanyou it's this female . . Kagome . . that we want," the youkai smirked.
"This Sesshoumaru will not let you take her, " Sesshoumaru growled stepping forward. "you will not leave here with your life."
"You seem to forget who has the upper hand," The youkai growled the energy whipped around her again this time her back arched as is she was a cat stretching, but the angry group knew otherwise. The youkai turned to her as her arms locked to keep from hitting the ground face first. "Your good bitch better than he said but I will have you screaming in pain before my game is over."
Sesshoumaru stepped back they couldn't do anything without Kagome being hurt. Her voice in his mind was getting weaker and by Kami he wanted nothing more than to rip the bastard in two.
She hurt everywhere there was no part of her that didn't scream out in pain. And being on her knees didn't help considering her left leg was out of place. How long had it been since this started she didn't know but it had to end. The muscles in her body spasm with the next shock but still she held herself ridged. She would not give this youkai the satisfaction of voicing her pain no she had other plans, she smirked through the pain.
The ground shook under the rise of her power. The youkai turned and kicked her in the stomach laughing. Kagome saw spots before her eyes, as the breath was again forced from her body along with another stream of blood. Only sheer determination held her rigid and concentrating on gathering her energy for her next move. The bastard might have stopped her from using her power against him but there were other ways to use ones powers. It screamed at her to be released to let go to free it from its long wait.
"Give it up bitch these bonds where made especially for you. You can't escape me besides I am having to much fun with this game of mine" her body spasm again and Kagome grit her teeth.
"Your killing her, " Sango cried out watching Kagome's body as blood poured from her open wounds, the way she trembled slightly as if forcing herself to stay up.
Sesshoumaru and Inu Yasha scanned the scene for any opening they could find. Still they could find nothing. But Sesshoumaru still felt the raise of Kagome's energy, her head jerked but did not raise. Her voice in his mind was gone and it left him cold and fill of fury.
Time stopped as did Kagomes breathing, her body jerked but remind prone in the same position.
The wind pick up whipping around them violently, the only trees that remained groaned under the violence of the winds. The glow around her body drew inward and took shape.
The elemental youkai and what was left of his men stepped back in shock as the glowing thing pulled from Kagomes back and sat up.
"What the--" Inu Yasha and the youkai spoke in unison but were cut off.
"So . .you . .want. .to play. . games do you?" it questioned its head cocked to the side. Glowing eyes stared from under flaming bangs at Miroku, Sango and Inu Yasha who shivered in fear staring at the glowing figure. It was light blue in color, with long flaming white hair everyone could almost see through the creature.
"What the. .it's not possible no one can do this. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU?" the youkai screamed in panic. it took a deep breath and rose to its feet leaving behind Kagome's prone body.
"Kujo," it growled into the vicious winds and whirled around its hair defying gravity as it swirled around.
"Lookout," Miroku exclaimed as the groaning trees fell and broke into pieces the splinters caught by the winds and flew toward them.
Sesshoumaru's head snapped to the side as he growled. "Don't move or you will die"
"What. .what the hell is happening Sesshoumaru ?"
"Silence" he hissed his golden eye moved back to the scene as the glowing spectral form came to stop before the youkai.
"You have entered my lands without permission . . Attacked this one, my Lord and my companions. For your crimes taste the fury of my lord," it hissed and spread its arms. The splinters of wood flew pasted the stilled group behind it and through its spectral form they existed in the shape of white Inu's that growled in fury as they flew toward the youkai as they tried to flee.
To Sango, Miroku and Inu Yasha shock hundreds of small Inu's attacked the youkai their screams joined that of the howling winds as they were torn to pieces before their eyes. The elemental youkai fought back as his men fell only to find himself pinned to the ground by the mass of Inu's his eyes widen with shock and pain. His mind awhirl with fear and questions nothing had prepared him for this.
"Who sent you?" the spectral figure hissed he could see its glowing eyes above him.
"You'll find out bitch," He gasped out with a pained chuckle.
"Kill him," the tiny Inu's let go of him long enough to all leap at his throat ripping it out. The creature watched smirking as they feed hungrily on the body.
"Enough," the growled was heard even above the winds, The winds stilled and calmed as the Inu's turned back to splinters and fell to the ground. "return," he pointed to the pale prone figure of Kagome on the ground.
"You do not order me around youkai do you have any ideal what . . I . .am?" it hissed turning flaming eyes toward the four. Power poured off the spectral figure it wasn't calm neither was it holy as it licked against the four choking Sango, Miroku and Inu Yasha. Sesshoumaru simply stepped forward his jaki rising up to defend again the energy. Of course he knew what it was and he also knew the longer it fought against him the less of a chance Kagome had to recover.
"This Sesshoumaru knows very well what you are creature as you know who I am. You exist because of this Sesshoumaru's bitch and his knowledge creature. Therefore this Sesshoumaru is your Lord and master. And you will do as you are told. Now return," he growled and pointed back to the prone Kagome. The spectral figure sighed and withdraw its power it knew that voice and it never was any fun.
"If my Lord commands it will be done," it gave a sweeping bow than floated toward Kagomes body. It kneeled and fell forward sinking back into the body from where it came. Kagome glowed for a moment then it disappeared, her eyes snapped open as her lungs filled with air suddenly sending her body crashing to the ground before anyone could move.
Sango, Miroku and Inu Yasha getting over the shock to their system rushed to Kagomes side. Sesshoumaru kneeled beside her and rolled her unto her back he brushed the hair form her face. He reached for the stone hanging from her neck and ripped it off, her blank jeweled eyes stared up to the sky seeing nothing. Sesshoumaru knew there was nothing to do but wait, if she did not snapped out it on her own he was prepared to help her as well.
"Slayer see to her wounds," he snapped hating the fact she would not like if he looked upon her. "Monk guard well this Sesshoumaru's intended and the slayer," The two nodded as he turned to Inu Yasha. "we will see to the one's that escaped."
"They will not escape with their lives," Inu Yasha growled taking one last look at Kagome than following his brother.
"What do you think that thing was Miroku?," Sango questioned pulling the bandages from her pack.
Miroku kicked the splinters and thought for a minutes rubbing his chin. "Energy my dear pure energy"
"That's impossible Miroku energy can be manipulated and used not take on form." she spoke working the bandages around Kagome with a sigh.
"It's not impossible Sango but that sort of skill takes centuries to prefect. I wonder just what kind of training did Lord Sesshoumaru put Lady Kagome through?"
By the time the two had returned Sango had finished the task of bandaging Kagome as best she could. She sighed and shook her head she would just have fix them when they returned to the castle. Sesshoumaru kneeled beside Kagome and looked into those blank eyes. He called out to her with his mind like he had so many times before since her return only to be met with nothingness. It bothered him that she still had not recovered. He frowned, he would face her angry over this that was assured.
Slap
The hit rang through the area for a moment than it was silent again. No one could believe it Sesshoumaru had hit Kagome and they could see the red print as it bleed to life quickly across her pale cheek.
She blinked not having enough strength to do much else. But Sesshoumaru's mind quickly filled with promises of death and few choice words to which he just chuckled relief washed over him. He smiled at those jeweled eyes as they turned and narrowed at him in angry.
"We are returning to the castle Kagome, you must stay wake," he carefully lifted her into his arms. Her slight whimper was unnerving but still he stood and walked away.
"What the hell was that thing Sesshoumaru it tried to kill us?"
"This is not the place to discuss such things."
