Chapter Seven: Nightmares become reality
Punkwolfdemon: The new evil character in this chapter is mine! So no stealing! Miney mine! *eye twitch*
**********************************************************
Sesshomaru walked through the clearing, he had been following Naraku's scent for a while now and he was getting closer. He stopped in the middle of the clearing, his eyes narrowed and his voice was cool but had a steely edge to it.
"Naraku I know you are here, show yourself."
Sesshomaru was answered by silence, then he felt a searing pain through his back and stomach. He looked down to see a clawed hand go through him then pulled back, making the wound larger.
"Ku, ku, ku, you should have stayed at the castle you fool."
Sesshomaru's eyes lit up with pain, he turned to strike Naraku, but was countered with something.
Sesshomaru looked at Naraku in shock. Naraku held Tokijin in his grasp, it was glowing a dark purple and Naraku was grinning evilly.
"Didn't expect that one did you, Lord Sessahomaru."
Naraku brought Tokijin down, slicing Sesshomaru across the chest, cutting his heart in open.
'How-how did this happen? He was just too fast for me this time...' Those were Sesshomaru's last thoughts as he fell to the ground and slipped into darkness.
**********
Nia woke up screaming and drenched in sweat.
"Sesshomaru!? Sesshomaru?! SESSHOMARU!?"
Nia ran through the castle frantically calling his name.
"SESSHOMARU!!!!!!"
Koga appeared, "Nia what's wrong?! What's happened!?"
"Where's Sesshomaru! Where is he!?!!!"
"He went out to think for a while since you were sleeping, he said he would be back shortly."
"WHAT?!"
Koga looked at her worriedly. "Nia what happened?"
Nia pushed past him, running for the front door of the castle. She had to find Sesshomaru.
Koga raced after her yelling for everyone to wake up because something was wrong.
Miroku, Sango, Inuyasha, and Kagome all appeared ready. Jaken, Rin, and Shippo also came but Miroku told them to stay here. The nodded and headed back to their rooms, confused and worried.
Koga turned to look back at the group and noticed that Larka wasn't there. "Hey! Where's Larka?!"
The others shook their heads, they didn't know.
"Go on! Follow Nia, I'll find Larka then meet up with you." The others nodded and went off in pursuit of Nia who had now disappeared into the forest.
*
Koga raced back to the castle intent on finding Larka, but stopped dead in his tracks when a scream pierced the night. Koga's eyes widened, "That sounded like Larka!"
He quickened his pace, making it back to the castle in record time. He headed up to Larka's room, and ran past Rin, Jaken, and Shippo who all had puzzled looks on their faces.
Koga reached Larka's room and the moment he stepped inside he smelled blood, and lots of it.
***
Back at Naraku's lair he watched all of this through Kanna's mirror, an amused look on his face.
"Excellent, everything is working just how I planned it. Higosia! Come here!"
"Yes master." A beautiful demon wearing a white Kimono with black strips walked in, her black hair was tied in a bun with a few lose strands flowing around her.
"Higosia I need you to send the dream of what happened to Larka, then show how she looks now."
"Of course master." Higosia took out a clear, flat piece of glass and touched it gently in the middle with her finger. There was swirling mist inside the glass, which cleared to show an image before her. Higosia chanted several words, then touched the glass again.
"Master it is done."
"Excellent, leave me now."
"Yes master." Higosia bowed and backed away into the darkness.
Naraku smirked, 'Yes this will work for sure.'
***
Koga looked about the room but all of the sudden his eyes clouded over and he saw a scene before him.
DREAM/VISION
Larka was walking into her room when an arrow flew out of no where, hitting her in fighting arm. She let out a cry, and fell the ground. The arrow was a poisoned one.
Koga watched in horror as her wound oozed green liquid and burned the floor around her, charring it black Larka lost all consciousness and as soon as she did a figure dressed in white appeared.
As it got closer Koga realized it was a demon he had never seen before. 'It must be one of Naraku's new minion.' He thought.
He realized she was holding a bow with a dozen or so more poison-ness arrows in a quiver on her back. She smiled and knelt down beside Larka.
She removed the arrow and place something glowing a slight pinkish color into the wound. The demon waved her hand over Larka's arm once and when she moved it away the wound was completely sealed.
The demon turned and started to walk away but right before she disappeared she turned and said. "Good luck Larka. You'll need it."
She smiled evilly and disappeared into the black night.
END DREAM/VISION
Koga shook his head to clear his thoughts, then gasped.
'That was a shard of the shikon jewel!' He scanned the room and saw Larka curled up in a corner, trembling violently.
He ran toward her yelling. "Larka! Larka! Are you ok!?"
"Stop!"
Koga stopped in her tracks and looked her questioningly.
"Koga get away me! Hurry! Get away! He can control me now! And he will use me to kill you all!!!"
Koga looked at her in shock, he argued with her, "No! I won't leave you to be controlled by him! I can't do it!"
"Koga! Listen! You must go! Get the others away from here! Warn them! You must leave! I am the most powerful demon and he knows that! And he knows how to unleash it now! You must get out!!!!!"
Larka's face was streaming with tears and her voice was filled with pleading.
Koga gave in and nodded, he ran up to her and gave her a kiss on the lips.
"Try to fight it Larka!"
Koga ran out of the room to get Shippo, Jaken, and Rin.
Koga grabbed all three of them and ran while Jaken cursed at him.
"Put me down this instant! I am the servant of Lord Sesshomaru!"
"Jaken shut up. Larka is being controlled by Naraku and we have to get out of here unless you want to die." He glared the toad, then continued running. He had to warn the others.
Jaken shut up and remained silent.
***
Nia ran through the forest as fast as she could, completely oblivious to the worried calls of her friends.
"Sesshomaru!"
For a split second her eyes clouded over and she saw Sesshomaru lying some where in a clearing surrounded by a pool of his own blood.
"SESSHOMARU!!!!!"
Nia continued running until she stumbling into a clearing. She let out a cry at the scene before her.
Sesshomaru lay a few feet away his eyes were closed and he wasn't breathing.
"Sesshomaru!!!!!"
She ran over to him and flopped down beside him.
"Sesshomaru? Sesshomaru? Please, please wake up!"
She started shaking his cold corpse, which was now starting to stiffen.
"Sesshomaru!!"
For the first time she looked around at the clearing and saw the Tokijin several feet away, glowing a slight purple. It had been thrust into the ground.
Nia's eyes narrowed to slits and turned red.
"NARAKU!!!"
***
Larka sat in the corner, willing herself not to move no matter what he did to her.
Larka felt a jolt go through her body and a voice started speaking in her head.
"Larka, Larka, Larka. You think you can defy me. Beat me at my own game. Control your own will. I think not, your will and your power are mine now and there's nothing you can to do stop me."
"Wanna bet!"
Larka lunged for her sword, which was lying on the bed, even killing herself was better then being controlled by him.
Larka was thrown back against the wall. "Now, now I can't have you go hurting yourself when I'm going to need you later."
Larka growled but otherwise remained silent. She was just going to have to wait it out.
***
Nia grabbed the Tensaiga and stood over Sesshomaru. 'Maybe just maybe it will work.'
Nia brought down the Tensaiga and slashed Sesshomaru across his chest.
She held her breath. "Did it work?"
