Chapter 8: Naraku.
It had been a week since they had fought Sesshomaru and Inuyasha and Yunikoon had been at each other ever since. The others had never seen them fight so hard agents the demons, Yunikoon was madder at her feelings for Sesshomaru, her wounds had not yet healed all the way and each pain reminded her she let weakness take her over. Inuyasha was mad Yunikoon saved Sesshomaru. On their travels a small village had asked the group to kill the demons in a nearby forest; they had not seen the demons they just knew that villagers were being killed. Inuyasha walked in front as always Kagome behind him rolling her bike next to her, and Shippo sat in the basket, Miroku and Sango behind them Kirrara beside Sango. And Yunikoon walked behind them all looking to the ground as she thought back to the battle, the group a head of her speaking drowned out as she thought.
Why, why did I save him….. It wasn't because I wanted to kill him, if so I would have let it hit him.. I could have stopped why did I jump in front of Inuyasha's attack.' Yunikoon thought to herself.
What is this urge I keep feeling, why can't I seem to fight him to my full power. Maybe there is something wrong with me…?' Yunikoon sighed.
Kagome turned and looked back at Yunikoon and sighed, Shippo blinked and looked up at Kagome.
"What's the matter Kagome?" Shippo asked.
"Oh, nothing!" Kagome smiled.
"You worried about Yunikoon?" Inuyasha muttered.
"A little." Kagome muttered back.
"Well don't she is a demon and she can take care of her own feelings." Inuyasha explained.
"Its still nice to talk about it." Kagome announced.
"Feh, Not for demons." Inuyasha muttered looking away.
'Inuyasha… what are you hiding inside, what wont you tell me?' Kagome thought to herself as she watched him.
Suddenly Inuyasha stopped and sniffed the air, Kagome stopped dead in her tracks as she looked around, Sango and Miroku stopped as well they both sinced the demon as well, Yunikoon walked up to Inuyasha as she sniffed the air.
"This smell is strong, it smells like a strong a demon." She muttered.
"Its Naraku's stench!" Inuyasha growled.
"What!?" Yunikoon asked.
Inuyasha took off a head of them, the others quickly fallowed, Yunikoon had heard the stories they all shared about Naraku and she agreed to Inuyasha if they had ever encountered him she would let him fight and she wouldn't interfere unless needed. But this would be the first time she had seen him, or smelt him she let his sent in remembering it for any more encounters they would have with him. Inuyasha stopped dead in his tracks, as the sent grew stronger, he touched an area just a head of him and was pushed back by a force field. The others stopped as well Kagome dropped down beside Inuyasha helping him up.
"It figures he would have a force field around him!" Inuyasha growled.
"What are we going to do Inuyasha?" Kagome asked.
Inuyasha smiled and pulled his sword from its sheath and everyone stepped back, he pulled the sword back and trusted it down strips of lighting cracking over it, smirking Inuyasha walked up to the force field and touched it again but was pushed back again. Kagome ran over to him putting her hand on his shoulder. Yunikoon sighed and walked over to the force field lifting her hand up.
"Yunikoon don't!" Miroku yelled.
Yunikoon stopped for a moment then shook her head and put her hand throw the shield then her arm but when she tried to pull herself back the force field pulled her all the way in, she was drug throw to the other side falling to the ground on the other side. Miroku and Sango stared at her as she looked back at them.
"That isn't good, come back throw!" Miroku announced.
"How come she can go in!?" Inuyasha growled.
"Probably because its Naraku's plan!" Miroku explained.
Yunikoon walked over to the force field and touched it but was thrown backwards she fell hard on her side scraping her arm and side, Yunikoon growled at the pain and laid there for a little bit, Inuyasha jumped up and throw another blow at the force field but nothing happen.
"Gah, I… WANT… IN…. THERE!" Inuyasha growled as he tried to enter it being thrown back again.
"Inuyasha stop!" Kagome yelled.
"Yunikoon are you ok?" Sango yelled.
Yunikoon sighed and pulled her hand down under her and pushed her self off the ground and sat up looking at her arm wiping off the dirt as she blew her bangs out of her face. Kagome sighed as she helped Inuyasha to his feet again. Yunikoon felt eyes on her again, it wasn't the others, it was someone else, she turned her head to the side and watched as Sesshomaru appeared at the barrier he stood on the same side as the others but he was out of sight of them, Yunikoon felt her heart jump at the sight of him. He looked at her and raised his hand touching the force field he couldn't enter either, it shocked him but he wasn't thrown back. He growled lowly and looked at his hand then looked back up at Yunikoon who had stood and was brushing herself off.
"YUNIKOON LOOK OUT!" Kagome yelled.
Yunikoon looked up and caught sight of a demon his bright red eyes stared at her, black curly hair flowed behind him as he landed on the ground in front of her. Yunikoon stepped back and grabbed her swords sheath and glared at him.
"NARAKU!" Inuyasha Growled.
Yunikoon jumped back at the yell as Naraku grinned.
"What do you want!?" She growled.
"You." Naraku smiled looking her over.
Yunikoon pulled her sword out and pointed it at him growling as she watched him walk closer to her, she watched closely till she heard the scratching of the shield being touched to the side of her witch meant Sesshomaru was trying to enter again. Yunikoon for a moment looked over to Sesshomaru who was now in the barrier. Felling his hand come at her Yunikoon looked back at Naraku and pushed his hand away with her sword, Naraku smiled and jumped at her she wasn't in time to stop him this time his hand touched her forehead and Yunikoon fell to her knees unable to move. Yunikoon began to breath hard trying to stand back up but her body wouldn't listen to her. Sesshomaru slowly walked up to the two. Naraku looked over at Sesshomaru and smiled. Inuyasha who was still trying to get in growled at the fact he had two enemies in front of him and couldn't get to them.
"What did you do?" Yunikoon growled.
"It's a paralyzing herb, for demons.." Naraku answered.
Sesshomaru looked down at Yunikoon as she struggled to try and stand. Naraku bent down and picked her up bridal style, Yunikoon unable to move her hands or legs turned her head away from him, and closed her eyes. Sesshomaru stared at her but didn't move the wind blowing his full white hair back.
"Sesshomaru…." Yunikoon muttered just as she passed out from the herb.
