It was dark, kagome could see a small light at the end 'A cave perhaps?' kagome wondered as the light grew brighter and brighter, once they reached the end and kagomes eyes adjusted to the new light she looked around to see some sort of training ground. "Where am I" she breathed but the man said nothing as he walked her into a stone house, he walked through a few room before spinning around to face kagome, once again she was caught by his eyes
"My Name Is Ryuu" he spoke in a deep but soft voice, almost like Sesshomaru just a pitch higher. "I have brought you here to protect me"
"Why?" Kagome managed to get out
"You are Strong in many ways; if you can survive here I will make you my personal body guard"
"Survive?"
"You couldn't possible think you are strong enough to protect me now, do you? He chuckled
"I guess not" Kagome breathed
"Let's put you to the test" Ryuu picked up her bow and added more arrows to her holder, He leaned in and brushed his cheek against hers "Protect me at all cost" He grabbed the top of her arms and spun her around to push her in and on to the field where a hundred other women and men stood frozen waiting for his call.
"Let s see who can protect me" He yelled "FIGHT"
Kagome watched as they ran towards each other weapons ready, she had a sudden urge to fight but tired to fight it. she didn't want to kill anyone "Do you not wish to protect me" the voice rang in her head 'I do' she called back "Then Protect me" it rang again as she felt a chill down her spine, she couldn't think anymore, she knew she had to kill everyone in order to protect him, She raise her bow and loaded an arrow, she aimed for a women running towards her sword ready yelling the word Die. Kagome Let go and sent the arrow flying.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Back to the Group~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
"Damn it!" Inuyasha cursed
"It s okay Inuyasha she has only been gone a few hours" sango tired to calm him
"GO AWAY" Inuyasha yelled
"Inuyasha we are just as worried as you" Sango snapped
"He isn't talking to you" Miroku places a hand on sangos shoulder and pointed to the nearby trees
"Who then?" Sango looked just as Sesshomaru walked towards them "Oh"
"I don't have time to play with you" Inuyasha spat
"Where is Kagome" He wasn't looking at inuyasha
"We don't know, she was taken a few hours ago" Sango explained
"Who took her" his words like Ice
"I-I didn't see him" sango admitted "But Inuyasha did" He turned to his brother
"Why should I tell you?" Inuyash crossed his arms
"If you don't she will die" Sesshomaru loosing patients
"He had Red hair with bright piercing Green Eyes, he also wore a light blue bandana" Shippo yelled fearing for his kagome
"When did you see him shippo" Miroku asked
"He asked me where to find the young miko of the village... asked him what business he had with her... then he smirked and vanished" Shippo hung his head "Then kagome was taken by him"
Sesshomaru close his eyes and held back a growl
"What s going on, you know something don't you?" inuyasha snapped
"You better pray the Miko can fight" sesshomaru spoke his eyes still shut
"What are you blabbing about?"
"The one who took her was Ryuu, A male siren if you will but instead of Singing to his victims he just has to look them in the eyes and he can take male and female victims, he takes those victims wipes their memory, and hold them hostage until he can gather 100 of the most powerful human usually Priest and Priestess , hanyou and youkai he can find"
"Then why aren't we part of this" inuyasha interrupted
"Kagome is probably more powerful than you" Shippo Smiled
"HA she is human"
"She is a Miko, half-breed" Sesshomaru snapped eyes glowing red. "He knows not to cross me, and as for you, like the kit said she is probably more powerful than you"
"What does Ryuu Want with 100 humans and demons?" Miroku asked before Inuyasha could say something stupid.
"He puts them in a giant room, filled with Trees and rocks, a battle ground if you will. He lets every person have one weapon, Kagome probably has her bow. He watches as they fight to the death" Sesshomaru clenched his fist "And each time they kill a person they gain a new skill, almost like Narakus spell he used except they won t merge physically just the powers merge"
"So let say kagome makes it out alive, she will look the same, act the same but just have 99 new powers" Shippo asked
"In a way yes, granted she won t be able to use the youkai powers but she will be able to use the human and hanyou's powers" Sesshomaru calmed down
"Why can't she use them?" sango asked
"It would be too strong for her to handle, just like Inuyasha, she would lose herself to the demon inside and eventually burn from the inside out until she finally died "
"Keh" Inuasha turned around knowing sesshomaru was right about his beast inside
"But never the less we won t find her till after the battle"
"Why not?" shippo cried
"He hides the battle behind a barrier 10 times stronger than Narakus ever was, and you don t have kagome anymore to help break it"
"How do you know so much about this guy?" Inuyasha spat
"Because he did the same thing 300 years ago, I was sure Father had killed him" Sesshomaru looked to the sky "He took the winner of the battles and made him his personal body guard. They took out countless villages and castles Ryuu wanted control over everything but he was a fool and crossed into the western lands. I fought the body guard and Father took on Ryuu. The body guard was a challenge, I tried to spare him. But he was too far gone 'Once their eyes turn the same green as Ryuu's they cannot be stopped' this is What Father said to me, so I was forced to kill the man. While father beheaded Ryuu."
"Then how is he back now?" Miroku asked before anyone else could
"That is a question I want to ask as well" Sesshomaru looked back to the group "Kagome has to either Win the battle and be killed by us or lose the battle and be save"
"Wait if she wins we have time to save her before her eyes turn right?" Shippo began to tear up again
"This is true" Sesshomaru looked to the child "But she won t remember us, and the only way to get her back is to make her remember her old life a task easier said than done little one"
"Like what?" sango asked
"Seeing your faces isn't enough, she has to hear/see/smell something that she remembers, then it should jolt her memory back but I would not get your hopes up"
"What if we kill him first" Miroku asked "Would that break his hold?"
"No, even if he is dead she will still fight"
"How did he even find Kagome?" Miroku asked
"He usually sends out demon bug to search out the strong demons, once the bug has found and nested under their skins, it takes over the body then sends a signal to Ryuu, once he finds the demon and his bug he takes them to the battle ground, he puts them into a trance until he can gather the rest, let s hope Kagome was close to one hundred, otherwise we will be waiting a while."
We? Inuyasha stared Sesshomaru down
"Wait a minute you said Kagome must have stepped in front of me at some point, so he must have wanted me instead" inuyasha Realized
"The bug would not have mistaken a human and demon; if he really wanted you he would have gotten you" Sesshomaru sighed "I was wrong in saying that, I did not recognize the bug demon at the time"
"So when is this battle thing over?" Sango asked changing the Argument
"I'm sure he will look for you four first to put her skills to the test, if she is declared the winner. but I wouldn't hold your breath, there are very strong demons with great skill in there with her, we will just have to wait and see. But for now rest and gain your strength for the upcoming fight with Ryuu and his Protector, wheatear it's kagome or not."
Everyone nodded and Inuyasha growled in agreement .
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~And Now To the battle ground ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Come out; come out where ever you are!" A tall lizzard demon slowly walked under the tree kagome was sitting quietly in. Kagome Pulled out an arrow and loaded it in her bow without making a sound, aiming for the man s head "THERE YOU ARE" He shot a ball of energy from his hand and into the tree kagome flipped backwards as the ball it the tree branch, as she rounded the flip to face him again she shot her arrow towards the man, shooting him through the eyes, he stood for a moment before falling backward with a thud on the ground. Blue lights flew out of the body and into kagomes as she walked away.
"SURPRISE" A women with scratches on her face and arms wearing a priestess outfit jumped down sword ready, kagome didn't even look up to see her attacker. kagome raised her left hand and shot a yellow ball of energy at the women.. She screamed in pain as the light enveloped her and melted her skin off, purple lights flew from her body in to kagomes as she kept walking
Ryuu was all smiles as the last two were beginning to fight, kagome walked to a tree where a man with long green hair and red eyes awaited.
"Are you the last one" he looked at kagome, she had no expression "Ready to finally die?" kagome smirked at him, he flipped his sword up and caught it while running towards kagome, she didn t flinch as the demon ran towards her, she reached back and grabbed another arrow and loaded it in the bow, the man swung his sword down and kagome side stepped easily dodging his attack. kagome let her arrow fly catching him in his side, he gurgled blood as he swung again, kagome flipped back, touching the bark on the side of the tree , thrusting herself off it, sending herself spinning head first towards the demon, while in the middle of her spin she grabbed the sword from its sheathe on her side, still spinning she sliced the man in two up the middle, kagome hit the ground rolling.
When she stood black balls of light flew out of his body into hers, kagome sighed as she watched her new sword change, longer, wider and much much sharper, kagome snapped around twisting the sword in her hands to keep fighting when she heard someone clapping
"WONDERFUL just wonderful" Ryuu was clapping from his front row seat. Kagome walked over and knelt in front of her new master "You can now protect me" kagome nodded "Let s put your skill to some use shall we"
Kagome stood in front of him; Her eyes beginning to turn green like his "Yes"
"Good, now come my love" He stood and kisses kagome on the lips, while wrapping his arms around her body, kagome wrapped her arms around his neck Deeping the kiss, after a few moments Ryuu Chuckled "We will have plenty of time later, but first we have an appointment
"For what Master?" Kagome was monotone
"Your Friends Deaths... but first you must change" Ryuu handed her a pile of clothes, kagome took the clothes and changed right there in front of him, he was not disappointed in his new body guards skills and looks, once she was done he pulled her in close and vashished racing to the group of friends he smiled an evil smiled the whole way...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~XXXXX~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The group was waiting in a small field surrounded by trees, inuyasha was sitting in a tall tree staring off into space as sesshomaru was below him eyes closed one arm resting on his knee as he focused on the surrounding area waiting for Ryuu, and praying Kagome was with him. Sango was leaning on Kiarar playing with shippo and miroku was sitting on the other side staring like Inuyasha.
A strong wind wrapped around the group and Sesshomaru's eyes snapped open and Inuyasha growled... both Sesshomaru and Inuyasha took off to the south, sango and Miroku were right on their heels, they didn't know why they two demons started running but they were sure it had something to do with Ryuu... The two skidded to a stop to see Kagome standing in the middle of a huge open field by herself. sesshomaru looked at her outfit.
Her hair was put up in a loose bun a few strands falling down framing her face. she was wearing a black Corset that showed off her breast beautifully with blood red ribbon crisscrossing around her enitre torso until it wrapped into a bow that rested just above her ass , she had long sleeves starting below her shoulder down covering her hands, she had jet black underwear like bikini bottoms on that were high on her hip showing off her soft hips and long smooth legs. She had skin tight black fabric that reached the middle of her thighs and wrapped around her right thigh were 5 sharp daggers (throwing Knifes) she wore black boots that reach the bottom of her knee. Her bow was resting diagonally on her back and she had a long sharp sword on her side her eyes were more than halfway green
"Kagome?" Inuyasha spoke fist, she did not budge
"She is not kagome right now. She is Ryuu's Protector" Sesshomaru and inuyasha heard a chuckle from behind kagome
"So you found me" Ryuu appeared behind kagome and wrapped his long fingers around kagomes bare shoulder "She is much better than my last one"
"LET KAGOME GO" Shippo yelled from behind Miroku
"Hmmm now here is a question, who will she go to first? The Hanyou or you sesshomaru"
"I will take her on" sesshomaru said cold as ice
"The hell you will, you'll end up killing her" inuyasha spat "I can handle kagome, you take care of Ryuu" Inuyasha drew out his sword
"Hahahah Wonderful I love a good show, and this one can entertained me for hours" he smacked her uncovered hip, both boys growled. Ryuu leaned in to kagome right ear and whispered softly "Protect me at all cost"
"Yes Master" Kagome confirmed her order, which caused both boys to growl even louder
"Get them" Ryuu pointed. kagome began to walk towards them slowly like a animal stalking its prey, Ryuu vanished so he could watch from a safe distance.
"Kagome Stop it s me Inuyasha!" He tried to get her memory back but she continued to walk with an emotionless face, sesshomaru held his ground. kagome stopped a few feet from them both, waiting to see who would attack first but neither man moved, sango and Miroku were yelling a thousand different things to help gain her memory back but nothing seemed to work.
"Well so far this is boring" Ryuu spat, so he appeared next to Inuyasha to make him swing, which would cause kagome to attack. And sure enough Inuyasha swung down to tiring to hit Ryuu but was surprised when he hit kagome's sword, she was on the balls of her feet crouched down in front of Ryuu "Now the fun begins, Thanks Hanyou" He vanished again with a wicked laugh
Kagome pushed Inuyasha off her sword with ease causing him to back up, Kagome didn't wait anymore, and he had tried to hurt her master, so he needed to die. Inuyasha tried to block and doge all of kagomes attacks, but she was faster, she jumped and twisted in the air cutting his left arm down to the bone. kagome touched the ground as inuyasha grabbed his hurt arm blood pouring out, kagome was emotionless as she turned around to finish the job. Sango began to throw her Weapon to stop kagome but Sesshomaru yelled at her
"She will attack you and unless you want to fight her, I suggest you stay put"
Sango could only watch as kagome lifted her sword to the hurt hanyou.
