Chapter 9
It was still in the middle of the night when Allie sat up and stretched. She turned to the left and looked at Inuyasha sleeping soundly and she kissed his forehead. Allie sighed as she stared upwards at nothing until she heard a voice.
'Come to me.' The voice was female and Allie stood up and followed the voice as if she was in a trance.
Allie followed the voice further as her feet moved on its own until she came upon a cave and walked through and passed the barrier.
'That's it, you're getting closer dear.' The female voice said
'Who are you?' she asked as she walked further into the cave. She came upon an array of demons frozen in stone and a priestess's body was in the middle of it all.
'What on earth?' she thought as the priestess's body formed in front of and hovered above her.
'My name us Midoriko, I am the one who created the sacred jewel. You have been chosen to carry on my legacy and protect the jewel at any cost.' The female voice now named Midoriko says
'Why did you bring me here?'
'Because it is your destiny to receive this power.' Midoriko held out her hand and a bright ball of pink energy formed that flew into Allie's chest and raised her body high into the air. It cause excruciating pain in her chest and she screamed loudly.
'Dear, just hold on it will be over soon.' Izayoi said in an attempt to comfort her. Allies body started glowing brightly and it covered the entire cave in a blinding pink light.
'Now I must give you all the information on the jewel dear.' Midoriko says as she floated to Allie's eye level and transferred the information by touching her forehead. The barrier in the cave strengthen as Allie retained the knowledge of Midoriko.
'This Naraku must be stopped.' The priestess says and Allie agreed. 'Naraku will try to cause a wedge between you, your mate, and sister. You mustn't let him and stay strong. Lastly you will remain in sleep for a few days so you will become one with your new powers.'
-With the dogs and Nyx-
Nyx woke up and stretched out of the makeshift shelter and looked up to the sky. She stares at the moon and sighed at it, she could feel some sort of energy from it. Sesshomaru growled at the departure of his make and stood up and walked to her. He wrapped his arms around her as he approached her and kissed her neck.
Inuyasha woke up grumbling because of the loss of body heat. He rubbed his eyes and blinked the open. He looked down and saw Allie wasn't there.
"Allie?" he called and rubbed his eyes hoping that what he is seeing was a dream, but unfortunately it was not and he
"ALLIE!" he yells and shot up and ran out of the makeshift shelter to where Sesshomaru and Nyx was standing.
"Allie's missing!" he yells
Nyx stiffens and looked at Inuyasha intently "What the fuck did you say!?" she yells and Inuyasha repeated and explained what happened quickly. She growls and punches the tree, Sesshomaru placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Calm yourself." Sesshomaru says.
*Touch the ground and feel for her energy* Okami says to Nyx.
Nyx bend and touch the ground, closed her eyes, and concentrated for a minute. Then they snapped open and she quickly ran to Allie's location.
-At the cave-
Nyx arrived to the cave and ran inside it. She quickly came across the barrier and started to punch at the barrier repeatedly. "ALLIE! SISTER!" she yelled in anguish as she tried to remove the barrier, but the barrier didn't come down until Inuyasha used Tetsusaiga and it turned red and slashed at the barrier.
Allie was laying on the ground with her body still glowing. Inuyasha gathered her in his arms, he shook her to wake her but it was all for naught as the elemental stayed unmoving.
"A-allie…wake up…please…please wake." He tried to say even though his voice was wavering. A tear came down his cheek landing on his unconscious mate
Nyx went to Allie's side and touched her neck. 'Still breathing but what happened?'
*She was awoken her powers.* Okami grunted
'Son, she has absorbed Midoriko's power she needs rest dear.' Izayoi says as she tried to ease her son's worry.
"Rest? Alright mother." Inuyasha whispers as he held Allie. Her body slowly stops to glow and but her body was undeniably warm. Midoriko's spirit floated in front of she smiled at them and disappeared.
Nyx leaned against the cave wall and observed her longtime friend and sighed. 'Wake up Allie.' She thought as Sesshomaru had held her and kept silent.
'She will need to rest for a few days.' Touga voiced.
'Alight old dog.' Nyx replies
-Three days later-
Nyx returned back to the cave with a boar that she had hunted. She starts to prepare lunch for them all, her eyes shifted and saw Inuyasha still holding Allie.
"Don't worry Inuyasha Allie will wake up" She says and received a nod from dog boy.
Sesshomaru walked in and pulled his mate to the side. "It's been three days are you sure?" he questions
"I can feel her energy its strong she will be waking in a few minutes." Nyx says as she looked at Allie then smirked as an idea came to her mind. "Hey Inuyasha why don't you wake sleeping beauty with a kiss." Inuyasha looked at Nyx then at Allie.
Allie groaned in her sleep and squinted her eyes but she didn't wake up.
"Sleeping beauty?" Sesshomaru asked with a raised eyebrow
"It's a story of a princess who was put into an eternal sleep and the only to wake up was to receive a kiss from prince charming." Nyx lightly chuckled and Inuyasha shrugged and kissed Allie.
Sleeping beauty groaned against the kiss and when Inuyasha pulled away her eyes opened. "Inuyasha? What happen?" she asked rubbing her head.
"See she woke up, guess sleeping beauty found her prince charming." Nyx says as she watched Inuyasha hug her friend.
Said friend blushed at Inuyasha's sudden affections but had a smile plastered on her face. "How long was I out?"
"Three days love." Answered Nyx.
"Well shit…damn my head hurts. Inuyasha are you alright?" asked a concerned Allie
"Im fine now that you're awake." He responded with a smile.
"Let's leave them be." Sesshomaru whispers into Nyx's ear and she nodded and stood but not before letting her friend know there was food available for her.
"Where are they going?" Allie asks.
"They're giving us some alone time. I want to hold you…just hold you." Inuyasha says as he gathered his mate into his arms.
Allie blushed at that but didn't complain as she snuggled up to Inuyasha. "I love you."
"Love you more." He responded and she kissed him on the cheek and removed his beads. "You don't need them anymore." And he smiled down at his mate.
Allie stood up and took his hand. "Come on dog boy let's go."
-Outside of the cave-
"Are you alright now that she is awake?" Sesshomaru ask.
Nyx flickered her eyes to Sesshomaru as she leaned against a tree. "Yeah I am…you may have or haven't noticed but I was on the brink on going berserk. Allie is the only one so far who can calm me in that state. Last time I went berserk I killed ten people who were tormenting her."
Sesshomaru's eyes widen marginally. "What made you go into a berserk?"
"I got angry, some kids were bulling her because her parents were murdered, and it caused her to come home to me crying her eyes out. I made her tell me what happen which caused me to become angry. So I found the bastards and started beating them uncaring that I was outnumbered. I beat them until they stopped moving..." Nyx says as she looked off to the distance.
Sesshomaru puts his arms around her waist and held her.
"I was ten years old when that happened…ten years old." She mutters
"I did much worse, you did what you had to do." Sesshomaru responded
"Yeah I guess so. After it happen I was nonchalant and indifferent about, now that I think about I liked the adrenalin rush and the feel of their blood on my hands." She says
*Definitely my descendant.* Okami commented
Sesshomaru just nodded unsure of what to say and he pointed towards Inuyasha and Allie with his head.
"Thank you Sesshomaru, I love you." Nyx leaned into him and kissed him on the lips.
"I love you too." He whispered only for her ears only and kissed her back.
"Well is this a bad time you two?" Allie asked trying not to laugh.
"No it's not a bad time Allie love." Nyx grinned as she walked towards her and pulled Allie into a hug. "I was so close to losing it Allie…so very close." She whispers to Allie.
Allie nodded in understanding and hugged Nyx. "It's alright everything's fine now." She reassured her.
Nyx kissed Allie's cheek. "I know it is sister." She says as she took a step back.
Allie thought this was odd and cocked her head to the side. "Nyx what are yo-" but was interrupted with Inuyasha sniffing the air.
"Son of a bitch." Inuyasha grabbed Allie to have her behind him and he took out Tetsusaiga.
Sesshomaru sniffed the air and his lips curled into a snarl. He got on the defensive but didn't unsheathe his sword just yet.
Nyx looked confused and looked at Inuyasha's line of sight. 'Shit him again. Fuck me in the ass hard.' She thought as she saw a whirlwind coming towards them.
'That can be arranged!' Touga says excitedly
*You are a fool!* Okami grunted
"There's three jewel shards." Allie mumbled and took arrow preparing to shoot. The arrow started to glow a bright pink and it mixed with some of her elemental powers. A gust of wind was carried with it as she shot the arrow towards the tornado causing it to dispel. The arrow pierced Koga in the arm.
'These are your new powers dear.' Izayoi said.
"Good going Allie, but I taught you before never attack an unarmed opponent makes the fight less fun. And we do not know of his intentions." Nyx says calmly, for some reason her persona changed and became calm and indifferent and her face void of emotion. She walked up to Koga and removed the shard from him. "Explain your intentions wolf."
Allie glared at Koga. "He has two more shards in his legs and I will be getting them." She growls
"You bitch! What the fuck you do that of-" he pulled the arrow from his arm and started sniffing the air. "So you're the mutts woman…you're not so great you don't hold a candle to Kagome." Koga spat at Allie.
"How dare he-" Inuyasha growls
"Hey calm down it's alright." Allie says as she put her hand on his chest. She turned to Nyx. "Don't kill the wolf Nyx."
Nyx's eyes twitched violently and she bared her fangs, grabbed Koga's throat lifting him in the air and electrocuted him with lightning and watches as his body spasms in her grip. "Hn…pathetic fool dare insult my little sister…" she drawls
"If you value your life tell us why you're here or I'll purify you." Allie says calmly.
"Taught you so well sister, soon I'll have you bathing in the blood of our enemies." Nyx says as she continues to watch Koga's body spasm.
*hmm the thought of a blood bath sounds good right now.* Okami commented
Nyx stopped the lightning and allowed the wolf to breathe. "You try my patience…speak wolf." She growled.
Koga eyes widen as he looked over Nyx. 'Black jewel in forehead, tribal markings, and bloodlust. She's his descendant!' Koga thought as he shivered in fear. "I'm here b-because I caught y-your scent alpha. And I n-need those s-shards to protect my pack." He says
"You don't need those shards I'll be taking them now." Allie hissed out.
"I never said I was giving them to you!" Koga yelled
"You don't have to." Allie responded as her eyes glossed over and held out her glowing hand. The jewels ripped themselves free from Koga's legs and flew into her hands. "Thank you kindly wolf. The pain in your legs is a gift for insulting my mate." She snarls and Koga's legs started to burn
Nyx growled and threw Koga to the ground, she watched the jewels leave his legs. "Pathetic wolf! Where is your honor and pride! You dare use another's power instead of your own! The jewel is a disease wrought on this plane." Koga looked up at Nyx and shivered from her gaze.
"Please Lady Nyx…you must lead my pack, you are strongest of the wolves, I am not worthy to lead if you are not around." Koga said as he bowed his head and winced from the pain.
Nyx stared at the injure wolf and narrows her eyes. "Tell me wolf, do you have something to protect?" she asks as her eyes took on a gold color.
Sesshomaru's eyes widen and looked straight at Nyx. 'My father's words.' he thought.
"Just my pack…and this orphaned pup we found." Koga said as he hung his head low and the wolf pup walked up to Nyx. The pup was weak and sore and whimpered with each step he took. Nyx looked down at the pup and healed him as well as Koga.
"Hn…then you are no wolf. A wolf will protect his or her pack to their dying breath. They would work to strengthen themselves to better the pack's survival. You are no wolf but a mutt, I shall rectify this soon. I will make a strong wolf out of you." Nyx lectured as she turned to the other. "I will return in three days to train the whelp." She turn around and grabbed Koga's leg and dragged him off to who knows where.
"Wait! Nyx!" Allie yelled after her but it was too late. "Son of a bitch." She mumbled.
Sesshomaru looked at Nyx's back has she left. 'You better stay okay and I'll gut the wolf if he thinks of touching her.' Sesshomaru thought
-Three days later-
Nyx approached the camp dragging a yelling Koga, who changed physically. He was more muscled and held some intelligence in his eyes.
"Alpha please I don't want to!" he whined causing Nyx's eye to twitch in agitation.
"You are a fool." She says simply, Okami had started to influence some of her mannerisms and personality during the three days.
Allie awoke to the sound of a screaming Koga. "Sesshomaru wake up she's back! Inuyasha you too!" Allie says as she shook them both. She stood up and walked to Nyx and saw Koga. "Wow Nyx you turned him into a man."
Nyx smirked "Of course I did, put the mutt to work." She says then threw Koga, who landed on his ass in front of Allie. He turns his head and glares at his designated Alpha.
"Watch who you're glaring at pup or do you not remember what happen last time." Nyx says and Koga pales in remembrance and Koga turned back to Allie.
"I, Koga of the wolves would like to formally apologize to Allie mate to Inuyasha for my insult on both her and her mate." He says as he bows lowly.
"Damn alright not bad Nyx. We accept, right Inuyasha?" Allie smirked and looked back at Inuyasha as he crossed his arms over his chest. "Inuyasha just because I took those beads off doesn't mean I can't put them back on."
"Alright fine I accept." He says and she kissed his cheek.
Nyx nodded her head accepting the apology as acceptable. As a reward she handed the wolf some daggers and some gauntlets. "Leave before I change my mind mutt." She grumbled
Koga eyes lit up and took the weapons. "Thank you Alpha!" he yells as he hugs Nyx and went all fanboy over the weapons. "I promise to look after the pack!" he then took off in a whirlwind.
*Damn that wolf was a pansy.* Okami muttered
'That was boring as hell, training always been boring.' Comment Touga
*Maybe that's way you aren't strong.* added Okami
'I will kill you!' growled the dog general
*Fool I'm already dead!* retorted Okami
Sesshomaru made an appearance after the wolf left and walked up to Nyx. "He didn't try to take you did he?" he growls
"Wow, who knew Sesshomaru was the jealous type…are you like that?" Allie ask looking at Inuyasha, who just looked away and grumbled. "Oh you are, and that's so cute." She leans and kissed the hanyou's cheeks.
Nyx raised a brow at Sesshomaru's comment and smirks. "Now Sesshy you know you're the only man who can handle all of this." She emphasize her point by squeezing her breasts together.
Sesshomaru pulled his mate into an embrace. "Good, I missed you." He whispers into her ear.
"Missed you too Sesshy." Nyx kissed his cheek.
Sesshomaru held Nyx a bit longer and they parted. She turned her attention to her friend and Inuyasha. "Are you two done?" she ask
Allie blushed and crossed her arms over her chest. "Shut up are you two done?" she joked
"Yeah." The she-wolf said as she waved off the elemental's joke.
Allie started counting the shards and held them in her hand, they started too fused and became one bid shard.
'You are using your power well.' Izayoi said
'I guess so…' Allie thought back.
Nyx looked at the jewel. "It needs to be destroyed, there is no such things as a selfless wish, and all wishes are selfish to a degree,"
Allie nodded in agreement. "We need the full thing in order to destroy it. Who has the rest of the shards?"
"That would be Naraku." Sesshomaru answered
Nyx thought for a second. "Wait can't you just summon the jewel away from Naraku?" she asks
"I can try." Allie said as she closed her eyes and gathered her energy and it swirled around her in a bright pink tornado.
'Dear this is dangerous! You haven't fully tested your powers yet!' Izayoi yelled
'I need to try' Allie said to Izayoi and her body started glowing brighter, cuts appeared all over her body.
'Stop if you use this much power now you'll only get killed! Naraku is too far away from you to use your powers in this way.' Yells Izayoi
'I'm almost there I can sense it.' She used more power and started to scream in pain and the cuts on her body became deeper and she bled.
'You have to stop her! Naraku's powers and hold on the jewel are combating with her power. It's tearing her body apart!' Touga yelled loudly enough to be heard and a barrier was formed around Allie.
Nyx went up to the barrier ad touched it and it shocked her. "Tickles…" she mumbles as she coated her fist in a red energy and punched through the barrier and parted it with her other hand. "That's enough sister!" she growls as she pulled Allie out of the barrier and healed her as soon as she touched her.
Inuyasha started fussing over her annoying Nyx, who was healing her so she punched him in the jaw knocking him unconscious.
Allie was dizzy and she was angry. "I almost had him!" she yelled angrily and then rubbed her head. She blinked as she saw Inuyasha passed out and crawled to his side. "Nyx, why is he passed out?" she asked frantically as she lifted his head into her lap.
"Had him my mother fucking ass! My fucking question required a yes or no answer Allie! I will not have you put yourself in danger or injure yourself!" Nyx growled as she turned her back and pinched the bridge of her nose to stave off her anger.
"He annoyed Nyx." Sesshomaru answered while looking at Nyx. 'Sexy when angry.' He thought
"Well I didn't have a yes or no! I had to try!" Allie growled and she looked down at Inuyasha and rubbed his ears. "You didn't have to knock him out." She mumbled
"You have yet to train in your newly awaken power. And he's a demon he'll wake in a second." Replied Nyx
"Well it's not like I know anyone who can train me." Allie mumbles. "You know I've always been a trial and error type of person." She says as she kissed Inuyasha's forehead and continued rubbing his ears.
Inuyasha grumbled as he woke up and rubbed his head. He growled at Nyx "Hey! That hurt you bitch!" he yelled and Nyx only raised a brow.
Allie grabbed Inuyasha's ear and pulled "Don't call her a bitch!" she yells "I won't hesitate to put those beads on you!" she added.
Inuyasha whimpered and rubbed his ears. "Alright." He grumbled
Nyx snickered "Technically he's right Allie, I am a female wolf, a member of the canine family. Female canines are called bitches except foxes who are called vixens."
"Oh whatever! I wonder what I would be called then." Allie wondered
'I'd say sexy as hell daughter in law…well one of them' Touga says
*You're a fool.* Okami growls
'What the fuck do you mean of them mutt!' Nyx glared at Touga
*Now you done it dog.* Okami piped in
"His bitch since you're his mate and being that he is a male dog even if half makes you his bitch. It's all pack mentality." Nyx explained as she tighten her grip on Touga's hilt.
'No you misunderstood! I meant she is just one of my sexy as hell daughter in laws!' Touga yelled in his defense.
Allie scowled at that explanation and faced Inuyasha. "I love you, but I'm not anyone's bitch."
"Don't take offense to it Allie, the term isn't meant as an insult in this time period. And as for pack mentality if you want to know Sesshomaru is the Alpha while Inuyasha is the Beta." Nyx shrugs
'You better fucking hope I misunderstood dog or I'm melting you!' She thought to Touga
"Still…" Allie mumbled as she stretched and sensed running water. "Nyx theirs is a hot springs near here, let's go relax."
Nyx nodded and the two demonesses walked to the hot springs to relax, but not before warning their doggies to not peak at them which they agreed begrudgingly.
