Chapter 8
"My Lord, look down there! It's Inuyasha and his friends, and he took out those dragons with one swing of the tetsuiga!"
'Hmm, Senkotsusei, what is your reasons for this?' Sesshomaru continued to fly overhead, seeming to travel unrecognized by Inuyasha. 'That pup needs to learn his place, and this is not one of them. He may possess the blood of our father, but that doesn't make him worthy of fighting our father's battles.'
"Hey look Inuyasha, isn't that your brother up there?"
"What's Sesshomaru doing here?" Inuyasha sheathed his sword.
"Looks like Senkotsusei has bigger plans than we could have imagined. We better be off Inuyasha. We still need to find what is wrong with Kagome." Miroku frowned and looked towards the mountain. 'The ora is emanating from that mountain. I bet that's where he's hiding.'
The mountain loomed high overhead. Dragons continued to fly overhead, entering and leaving the cave at their own will.
'They have come.' Senkotsusei laughed. 'Kagome, it is time. You will kill your friends, and I will finish off Sesshomaru and Inuyasha.'
My body pulsed. With eyes wide, that unnerving feeling gripped my body, forcing me back into an unresponsive state. I was still riding on Inuyasha's back when I felt it. I was semiconscious through it all, but I knew what I was doing was going to end in heartbreak.
My grip tightened on Inuyasha's shoulders. My fingernail dug their way into his skin. My eyes took on a glazed appearance, and my movements were jerky. "Oww, Kagome, what the hell are you doing?"
I pushed my way off of Inuyasha, forcing him to stop. I fell to the ground and skid a ways. I was unable to show how much it pained me. With a blank expression, I turned my way towards Miroku and Sango. "Kagome? What's wrong?"
They didn't even have a chance. The blood of the dragon clan flowed through my veins, and Senkotsusei held most of the control. With a quick enchantment, my blood felt like it was boiling. I raised my hands to my chest and, with a few quick gestures, made a fist with my pointer and ring fingers pointing straight up. I put them to my lips and blew. Out of nowhere, a fire ball erupted from my very flesh. It twisted and twirled around my friends, engulfing them in a ball of flames, looking exactly like a dragon. It grabbed them and took them towards the mountain, up and out of sight.
"Kagome! What's going on! Is this Senkotsusei's doing? When I get my hands on that bastard I'll..."
~Inuyasha, don't imagine you even have a chance to defeat me! Your words are powerful and yet you are not. I am not restrained by a mortal, I am not responsible for anyone's fate but my own, and yet you have chosen such a life. Your friends are important to you, but you can't protect them. Kagome is an example of such a weakness. Instead of kill her, you will simply allow her to rampage and to suffer, to do as she pleases, and kill your friends. ~
"Shut up! I will not kill Kagome! Let her go!"
He materialized out of nothing. That bastard. I can't reach through to Kagome. "You're dead."
With sword drawn, he raced towards the dragon. "Wind scar!" The tetsuiga released its power and he watched it race towards the demon.
"Ha! Fool! You cannot defeat me! I am more powerful than you could ever hope to be!"
Senkotsusei finished his statement with such venom. His eyes flashed red once, and he started to transform. His face grew longer, his body thickened. His size was increased, and he looked a lot like Ryukotsusei. The wind scar ripped unsuccessfully through the thick ora and hit Senkotsusei, doing no damage to the fully transformed dragon. His voice, now deep and angry, echoed. "Inuyasha, your father sealed us away for all these years, and you have been so kind as to release us. I hope you're ready to die for the misfortune you've released upon yourself."
"I don't think so! I defeated your old man, you should be a snap."
'I can tell he's a lot stronger than the demon my father fought. How can that be?'
"Get ready to die dragon breath!"
The dragon shifted its massive paws and flexed his talons. "It is you who shall die Inuyasha!"
