Chapter 3: Uncontrolable
"Kagome! Lady Kagome! Open up hurry!" Isako's voice carried on loud and desperate. Quickly Isako rushed in ignoring Shippo and his sword, grabbing on to Kagome, "The Lord! He's on his way! Ojai… He told our Lord of your presence in the castle… I'm afraid he's coming to kill you!" Isako pulled her Lady into a hug and cried, "You must leave! Go and save yourself!" Shippo pulled the one he once knew as his adopted mother away from Isako. "Shippo, it's all right." She turned away from him to Isako who was now wide eyed and speechlessly looking at the demon. "Your coming with us, he'll kill you for helping me. It is not an option." She nodded sheepishly.
Shippo looked over the girl before deeming her safe and placed the intimidating weapon back in its sheath. "Have we anything to get us away from here?" Shippo clicked his tongue and a dragon demon came into the view of the balcony. "That's AhUn. What are you doing with Sesshomaru's dragon?" He snatched up both women and jumped onto the beast, causing a shriek from both females, "Don't worry, I'll answer all of your questions as soon as we arrive at camp."
Inuyasha ran as fast as demonly possible toward his home. He could smell the bitch in the air. Eyes bleeding through the corners with a menacing red, he tore away the gate to his castle. Guards trembled away from the rabid Taiyoukai.
Kagome's hair battled the wind as AhUn's wings pushed against the air. Shippo kicked at its sides urging the beast to go faster. Inuyasha, only meters away, was leaping through trees below them. Catching the wind with his sword, Inuyasha threw demonic energy through the air.
With immense force AhUn was thrown through the air. Kagome and Isako held dearly to one another fearing death. Shippo created a strong barrier around them luckily before AhUn's side crashed into the thick under brush. The great beast groaned in pain, jerking it's heads toward a tree branch protruding from its middle neck.
Sesshomaru sat pensively in his tent. After the war, he thought, I shall treaty with East and South through their newly found Queen. Perhaps preserve our species? Thinking back he could remember all the times he had secretly tried going through his brother's wench's well into the future. Their little group had not been smart, talking about time travel out in the open, as if no one could be listening.
It had been a long time since Sesshomaru had been shocked, and the last time it had occurred he remembered like it had been only seconds ago.
Kagome and the demon slayer, Sango were walking peacefully through the forest, or perhaps as peacefully as one can in their profession. Sesshomaru stayed far in the dense trees listening to their unique conversation. He was not eavesdropping, that being very much below him, but instead gathering information.
Kagome, going on about this place in what she said was the future, Sango nodding accordingly. He had been learning quiet a lot and was very much engrossed in their conversation until her caught he caught wind of what was ahead. A perfect steamy hot spring gurgling up ahead. Exotic flowers surrounded it, and vines climbed the rocks and trees; covering it in a lush green. Sure enough the two women began to unclothe. He laid in a tree above them staring up at the fading sun in the dimming sky. Beautiful blues, reds, violets, and pinks tailed the retreating sun. Giving them enough time to submerge themselves in the warm bath, he turned back to them.
Inuyasha's wench, that Kagome creature, washed her hair with a sort of foam. He stared intently as she leaned back rinsing, her chest rising as her head fell back. Water ran down the valley between her breasts. And for a moment, the smallest millisecond, Sesshomaru forgot his heritage, almost following the slightest impulse to quench his thirst by kissing every trace of water off her creamy skin, and just as the impulse came, it went discarded. Sesshomaru growing impatient, was almost ready to leave when the slayers voice broke the sounds of nature. "There's something I don't quiet understand,"
Kagome looked up from the water as Sango spoke to her, "What is it?" Her voice never failed to have her school girlish charm embedded into it.
Sango continued, "Why is it that you never mention the demons in your time?" Kagome's eyebrows knitted together, unable to think of what to say. After a long silence she spoke, "There aren't any in my time, well if there are, they are all in hiding."
"Sesshomaru almost gasped, but his excellent control would not let him do so, and he left, taking all he had learned with him.
He ran his perfect immaculate claws through his silver hair, remembering the scene. A sigh parted from his strong lips. Sesshomaru leaned back on a thin cushion, resting for tomorrow's continued battle.
Kagome wept silently into her hands. Shippo distracted Inuyasha in order for Isako and herself to escape. AhUn died on the spot, the tree branch had severed major arteries. Her heart ached in her chest, she had so much to discuss with him, how she missed him so for all those years. Now in his valiant acts he may have caused a more permanent separation? What if Inuyasha killed him?
Sniffing up her tears, she stared at Isako's sleeping form. What had she gotten her in to? Guilt hit her as she rose to tend to their fire. She wondered if now, in this time of desperation, if just may be her strength was up enough to use her miko powers. Inuyasha had always kept her weak, with blood loss, extensive…exercise, and such. She tried healing a cut on Isako's ankle but nothing happened. The tiny slice went unchanged, and left the ageless forgotten miko to weep until the morning sun stretched over the forests and hills.
Shippo moved his tired muscles. He had been so close, silently he cursed himself. So close he had come to killing Inuyasha.
"Kagome, take Isako and run! Don't argue! Just run as fast as possible!" Shippo left the side on the women to take his stance in front of them. "Fox Fire!!" A huge ball of green fire hit Inuyasha hard, but barely made him stumble. Shippo looked back, making sure Kagome had done as he had instructed her. "What are ya doin here Shippo? Come to steal my little slut? That's almost like incest id'nt it?" Inuyasha played with the Kitsune, his words poisoness.
"Fuck you! You piece of fucking rotten shit! How fucking could you do that to her!? She fucking loved your sorry ass!" The two swung swords at each other as they spat words. "You're the one who abandoned her Shippo, running away, turning into Sesshomaru's little pet boy!" Inuyasha threw more demonic energy at Shippo, knocking him into a rather hard tree. Shippo found his feet and rose. Now was the time, he had not yet mastered his fox fire, and he could feel it bubbling inside himself. The green light surrounded him, coursing through his blood. With a mighty roar he threw it all at Inuyasha. The fire twisted with electricity, crashing hard into Inuyasha, he screamed. The force blew him through hundreds of trees. Shippo fell out of breath, the rotten tree roots caught his fall.
Shippo screamed to the heavens, he wished so much to avenge his adoptive mother's mistreatment. He wished so much to release his guilt, he had never returned to rescue her from Inuyasha. He should have known she wasn't dead. He looked at his shoulder, the throbbing pain unbearable. A howl escaped his clenched teeth as he put it back in place. Catching the women's scents in the breeze he began to run. He needed to find them before Inuyasha did.
Kagome sat in silent tears, staring at the sun. She prayed to Kami, asking for the strength to use, and to remember how to use, her powers. It was hard to accept that strange fact, she'd forgotten, forgotten everything there was to know of her past miko powers with one exception, she knew they were there and once long ago she'd used them. Now she had to follow blindly on instinct, hope that they would lean her right, that they'd tell her how, until she could get proper training. Time seemed to be against her.
The first time she'd met Inuyasha crossed her mind, he'd been so different then. When her life had been at stake the power took control and saved her. If necessary, she could only hope they'd be there to protect her and save her entourage once again.
Softly Kagome shook Isako awake. Little murmurings of sleepiness drifted from the girl's parted lips. "Hurry, wake up. We need to go." Kagome shook her a little harder now. "I was not asking. Isako! Get up!" "I'm up." Isako lifted herself and dusted off her kimono, leaves and dirt stuck to it as if it were magnetic.
"We have to move, keep going till we reach the West." Kagome began to climb up the immense hill that stood before them. "Lady, if I may," Isako followed up the hill, finding small nooks to place her hands in so she wouldn't fall. "The Western lands are they not the demon lands?" Kagome ignored her question for some time as she slowly made her way up the hill. "Not all demons are barbaric," She breathed in deeply lifting herself into another edging, "Some believe it or not do have honor, some even more than us humans." She thought about Sesshomaru, he was the most honorable person she'd ever met, and he was a Taiyoukai. She put pressure on her palms as she made it to the top, and helped up her fellow refugee,
"Your Lord, he must have enjoyed the ignorance of his people. "Isako almost barked back an insult, but she couldn't manage. Inuyasha had taken advantage of their peasant minds. Their journey continued in silence.
Inuyasha growled, the birds over head as if a gun had been shot into the skyline. He transformed in to a majestic enormous dog. His coat shimmered as his almost mechanical muscles quivered in his run.
Shippo came upon a huge flowered hill, Kagome must have been just on the other side. Just as he began to climb, a huge dog jumped over him and the hill, causing two very familiar screams. Quickly he climbed as fast as he could, clumps of dirt rained from his hands, brown clinged beneath his claws, and it scoffed his near perfect skin. Thorns tore into his kimono and skin leaving blood trickling scratches.
Only barking and growls filled his ears, Shippo cursed himself. Why could he not go faster? He grunted, lifting himself up on to the top of the hill. The sight utterly shocked him.
Kagome almost cheered, cherishing the powers she possessed. A small but powerful barrier erupted from her inner core just as Inuyasha's mighty claw had been inches from crushing them. She began breathing easier, relishing in the fact that she'd been right, her powers saved her. Isako cried, clutching tightly to Kagome, her knuckles turning white. Her eye's were clenched shut as she whispered to Kami. Kagome held on to her servant. Sympathy for the poor girl poured through her veins, had not Isako seen any violence before now? Her eyes grew wide watching Shippo. She stared intently as he drew his sword, and in one fluid moment Inuyasha lost his tail.
A great roar erupted from Inuyasha's gnashing teeth. Quickly he began to attack Shippo. The still young Kitsune changed his shape to match Inuyasha's. Kagome watched in awe, her little Shippo transformed in to large proportions. Fiery orange and white fur, and huge razor like teeth, yes Shippo matched, and maybe even exceeded Inuyasha's beauty. Kagome hoped his strength was as great as it seemed. Shippo roared out a huge ball of green flame, spraying Inuyasha.
Sesshomaru sliced through men, with his whip, easy as butter. He looked around for the one in charge, knowing very well Inuyasha had left. Cut down the one in charge, the rest will be lost. He grinned slightly, finally catching the scent of Ojai. His claws crept around the hilt of his sword. Tokijin pulsed with excitement, blood about to feed its craving.
Ojai cut through the centipede youkai. He grunted, his muscles were worn, sweat beaded down his face. It trailed his armor and dropped, mixing with the disgusting composition of the field. Quickly he turned sensing someone behind him. This instinct alone being one that had kept him alive countless times. The magnificence that was Sesshomaru stood stolidly before him. He had not a chance.
Before he had a second to blink Sesshomaru's Tokijin severed his arm. Blood spewed and a scream ejected from the man's throat. Ojai gnashed his teeth and swiped blindly with his sword. All he could think about was the pain, the numbness. Nothing left of his arm but blood, spewing, gushing, leaving his body, blood.
Gracefully Sesshomaru, the great Taiyoukai of the West, spun. The thin yellow ribbon danced through the air, cutting Ojai to pieces along with his open eyed head. Now with no military guidance, Inuyasha's army would be no problem at all.
Shippo and Inuyasha continued fighting, a dance of giants. Almost beautiful, blood swirling in the flow of air till it reached the ground once more. Muscles moving beneath thick silky fur.
After twenty minutes or so of continuous fighting the Kitsune grew tired. He had not had a whole lot of experience in his true form. After all Shippo was still a teenager in demon years. How he managed to become a captain, and his being so fierce in battle, was all due to Sesshomaru's mentoring.
He morphed back into his human-type form, drawing his long sword. "Kami give me strength," Quietly he whispered. Cutting through the air he blocked Inuyasha's enormous sharp teeth. The dirt began to rise in clumps behind his heels. Inuyasha pushed his back and swiped a huge paw at him, batting Shippo away like a fly. Shippo slammed hard in to the ground, blood gushing from the wounds Inuyasha's claws had made.
Kagome looked around franticly. There was nothing she could use to transfer miko energy, and she still didn't know if she could do it at all. Isako still cowered behind her back. She looked at the ground, rocks. "Kami please work" She spoke softly quickly grasping the biggest rock she could reach and forced miko energy inside it, to course through it, to dominate it. It was her last hope. Kagome chucked the rock into the air, breaking her barrier. A howl flew from Inuyasha's lips, the fur on his back burned off and a hole gaped from where the rock had melted his skin.
The fierce dog demon turned, his gnashing canines set for Kagome and Isako. "No!" Kagome screamed, pushing the pitiful Isako from her clothing. Every terrible memory she had was soaking her mind like a sponge and water. "I will not live in fear!" Pink electrified her body, her eyes. It flowed around her. Strands of hair went wild.
Shippo watched in amazement until Kagome screamed his name. Her voice was that of the Goddess of war, "Shippo! Go! Now!" He then realized what was happening. She could not remember how to control her power. Now in this time of desperation, it wanted revenge, like that of the Earths volcanoes. He ran like a bat out of Hell.
Her power raced exceeding the light of the sun, "Isako!" Kagome's voice raged, "Close your eyes!" Isako whimpered but did as she was instructed. Slowly and calmly she stepped from the barrier. Inuyasha began to panic, his fur started to singe. He tried biting her to bits, but was met with a powerful force, knocking him back. Like lightning he transformed in to his normal self. Blood surged from his wounds. He laughed, "My my Kagome, never thought you'd have it in you." His smirking face enraged her further. "To what? Kill you?" She smiled, picking Kokoris from the ground. "Too bad Shippo made you drop this. Guess you can't even manage to beat a mere teen." With each word she stepped closer. The sword glowed pink with her body as she purified its demonic aura. "You see your sword Inuyasha?" She took the sword in both palms, smiling as it pulsed. He stepped back. "It craves your blood Inuyasha." His name ran to the tip of her tongue and through her lips wickedly.
Inuyasha began running. Faster. Faster. "COWARD!" She screamed, and with her reverberating word came a wave of power. Miko energy flew from her body, covering the land. The forest glowed with a bright translucent pink. Kagome's body began to grow tired. Her legs failing. Her knees hit the dirt, all the while still she screamed that one word. Her lungs burned, her vision blurred, numbness took over, she fell unconscious.
