Hey guys. Thanks for all your lacking reviews. I say lacking, because this is just pitiful. I have thirty something reviews for 8 chapters. 8! 'No Way To Return' was way over that at this point. I refuse to end a story with only 40 somethin' reviews. Because, this story will be finished in about 5 or 6 chapters. So, after this chapter, updates will come later and later. Due to my huge lack of reviews.
Curse The Fates
Time stopped.
No one spoke.
Not even Naraku himself.
Kagome's limp body slumped and she fell to her knees, not too surprising, she was unconscious. She was still, breathing, but from where Inuyasha was kneeling it looked as if she didn't have an ounce of life left within her.
Akira's eyes were as wide as saucers. "K-Kagome?" He gasped. She actually took the hit from Naraku's tentacle.
Naraku chuckled. "It looks like your miko still hasn't learned about the consequences of interfering."
Inuyasha growled a fearsome growl. "You son of a bitch. How dare you!" He said, suddenly gaining his strength back, and jumping in front of Akira to check Kagome's unconscious form.
He picked her limp form, while he was still kneeling on the ground and checked her injuries. They looked pretty bad. Her cheek had a deep gash that kept oozing out blood. Her chest, was what had him worried the most. The huge gash there, and a very, very, deep gash at that, was constantly bleeding. Every time she breathed, it looked as if it hurt.
"Kagome! Kagome! Hold on, okay!" Inuyasha said, moving a small strand of hair away from her mouth.
Kagome took in a shaky breathy of air. "Inuyasha..."
Inuyasha's eyes widened. "Kagome, you're awake? I need you to hold on! Dont die on me!"
Akira flinched. He really loves her. And Im doing this. But, I have my own feelings as well. She can be loved by more than one person. He thought, as he watched Inuyasha talk to Kagome.
"I... it... it hurts." Kagome said, weakly.
Inuyasha nodded. "Im so sorry. I should've protected you better." He said, his ears and head drooping in shame.
Kagome shook her head and tried to manage a weak smile. "No, I-I wanted to protect Akira. T-t-this is m-my fault. Ahh!" She said, screaming in pain after explaining her reason.
Inuyasha flinched. She wanted to protect Akira. Could it be for more than friendly reasons that she did?He thought, feeling a pang of hurt. But, Kagome would never do that to him. Right?
"Kagome, you'll be alright. We'll be alright. We'll defeat Naraku. Just think of our life after we defeat Naraku. You and me. As official mates, with pups." He said, trying to smile reassuringly.
Kagome smiled. "You're such a bad liar."
Inuyasha blinked. "Huh?"
"Knowing you, we'll have pups before Naraku is defeated." She said.
Inuyasha smirked. "Maybe."
Naraku scowled. "If you're done, I'd like to continue the process of killing you!" He said, sending multiple tentacles at the group.
Akira jumped out of the way and Inuyasha scooped up Kagome and jumped to where Akira was now standing.
"Ahhh!" Kagome shrieked in pain, as Inuyasha landed. Inuyasha sent her an apologetic look.
Kagome smiled weakly. "I'll be fine. You do what you can, Inuyasha and Akira. Destroy Naraku." She said, closing her eyes.
Akira and Inuyasha had panicked looks. "Shit!" They both swore, as they got a closer look at her.
The color in her face was quickly draining. She still had her smile, but her breathing was slowly stopping. Slowly stopping, to a complete stop.
Akira's pupils shrunk. No, this wasn't supposed to happen yet! She's not yet meant to die. Everything will fall apart if she dies now! He thought, as he placed his hands on her.
Inuyasha fought back his tears. "Kagome! Kagome! Dont close your eyes! Please, open your eyes. Do it for me!" He yelled, practically shaking her limp form.
Akira slapped Inuyasha. "Calm down! I can save her."
Inuyasha punched Akira. "How?"
"I have powers that can keep her alive for a bit. If possible, even heal her. It depends on how close to death she is."
Inuyasha growled. "Looks pretty damn close to me! Do what you can for her. Im counting on you. I cant believe I would entrust her life to you, though."
Akira smirked. "I saved her once, I can do it a second time."
Inuyasha looked wary, but then he nodded. He walked in front of Naraku and Byakuya, who were now standing side by side.
"Well, well, the half-breed fights alone." Byakuya said.
Inuyasha growled. "You both can go to hell!" He yelled.
Naraku chuckled. "My, my, haven't you ever heard the rhyme Im rubber, you're glue whatever you say bounces off and sticks to you? Or shall I say, your miko?"
Inuyasha gripped Tetsuiga's hilt tighter. "Bastard. Just what the hell do you mean?!"
Byakuya started cracking up, while Naraku smiled. An awful, ugly smile. "I mean, half-breed, that your miko is soon to die. It wont be this battle, maybe not the next, but soon, very soon. Maybe you'll go with her."
Inuyasha's knuckles turned white from him gripping the Tetsuiga's hilt so tightly.
Akira gasped. Why would he say that?! The fool! HE thought as he stared on. "Inuyasha, dont listen to him! Destroy him!"
Inuyasha growled. "You dont have to tell me twice. Go to hell you bastard!" He yelled, lunging.
Byakuya flung fire at him with his lily, and Inuyasha evaded it with his Fire Rat Robe.
"Die! Windscar!" He yelled, as the familiar glow of the attack was sent flying at Naraku.
BOOM!
It hit. It actually hit. But, Naraku was hardly as injured as Inuyasha wished he was. Half of his body was gone, the lower part, that is.
Naraku scowled. "Wretch."
Byakuya's eyes became wide as saucers at Naraku's current state.
"Uh, ya, see ya Naraku!" He said, getting on his crane and flying up above them.
Naraku's scowl only deepened. "Where the hell are you going?!"
"To Fiji! I aint getting killed!" He yelled, flying off into the distance.
Naraku scowled. "Damn."
Inuyasha chuckled as he brandished Tetsuiga. "Well, one less asshole to kill." He said, as the Tetsuiga started to take the shape of a spear of adamant.
Meanwhile, Akira was doing all he could for Kagome. A bright green light was emanating from him. And it was slowly going into Kagome. Akira sighed and clapped his hands together twice, then he blew the strange light out of his mouth in one exhaling breath. He pulled his hands apart and laid one hand on the wound on Kagome's chest. He plucked out a strand of his own hair, and it glowed green just like the light around him. This had better work. He thought, as he somehow started to stitch her wound with his hair.
Inuyasha growled as just as he was about to strike Naraku with the Adamant Barrage, Naraku knocked the Tetsuiga out of his hands. It was way across the forest now. There was no way in hell that Naraku would let him hop over there and grab it so easily. Too bad Miroku and Sango were knocked out. They could've distracted him.
Naraku chuckled. "Thought you could take me out that easy? You fool!"
Inuyasha growled as Naraku continued to speak.
"Your so-called mate, is ready to die for another man. Pathetic. It's your own fault, hanyou. You let her run into the arms of another. Maybe if you had watched her better, you both would be safe from dying this instant."
Inuyasha growled and his eyes flashed a quick red. "Shut up! You dont know a damn thing! Kagome would die for any friend!"
"And lover."
Inuyasha growled as his eyes steadily flickered from red to gold, gold to red and so on.
Naraku flipped his hair back and chuckled. Ew. "Dont you see it? Kagome's heart has went to another. Not to mention, her body. What a slut."
Inuyasha's growling increased. He opened his mouth to speak but Naraku beat him to it.
"You didn't know, did you? Kagome is such a whore and a unfaithful bitch when it comes down to Akira. You were too naive to realize her increasing feelings. But, deep down, you suspected it, did you not? Kagome isn't as innocent as you thought her to be."
"She is a manipulating, sneaky, disgusting, vile, and lustful whore."
Inuyasha pulsed.
Vile,
His nails elongated.
Sneaky,
His eyes turned a complete blood red.
Manipulating,
His fangs grew longer.
Lustful,
Two purple stripes appeared on both sides of his face.
WHORE
Inuyasha released a loud howl of fury.
Vile, lustful,manipulating, sneaky, WHORE
The words replayed over and over in his mind and Naraku just smiled.
Inuyasha released another howl as he charged. He speak untrue stories about mate. He dishonor mate's name. He dies. Demon Inuyasha thought as he slashed Naraku's face.
Naraku yelped in pain, but flew back to put some distance between him and the hanyou gone demon.
Naraku chuckled evilly. "Two can play that game, hanyou!" Naraku yelled, as his face suddenly grew longer.
Demon Inuyasha stopped the attack he was getting ready to hit Naraku with and watched. Person who dishonors mate is no longer person. He thought dumbly as he watched.
Naraku's legs grew and and brown fur coated them. His body expanded. He gained more legs. His eyes grew a fiercer red. His hair started to merge with the rest of his body.
Inuyasha and Akira stared as a transformed Naraku stood there. Or shall I say, Spider Naraku.
The huge Spider Naraku had a giant red spider mark directly on it's back. Weird. He looks just like he does in the second movie, Castle Beyond The Looking Glass, in the beginning where he turns into a huge spider and Inuyasha was still human for a moment. Well, ya, that's how he looks.
Akira stared at the transformed Naraku. Hopefully, things go as planned with Naraku. I dont intend on helping other than this with Kagome, and only because she's essential to this plot. But, is it just that why Im helping her? Or is it because of how I feel as well? There's on feelings of doubt in my mind, but this is something that has to be done. For Master Naraku.
Miroku groaned as he regained consciousness. Sango was still knocked out, and Shippo was cowering in a tree. Not too surprising. Let's take a look here. Well, you've got one half-dead miko, one ΒΌ dog demon, who seemed to be helping with his hair, one transformed hanyou, and one giant spider demon is Naraku's stead. Yup, this was great. Miroku sighed, as he sat up some.
Curse the Fates.
