Disclaimer: NO I do not own Inuyasha. That awesome privilege belongs to Romiko Takahashi. Thank you!
Okay can I just say one little word here.....DAMN!!! Love the reviews, of course. And I found out why ya'll couldn't review, turns out it's my fault (Of courseXP) for deleting my authors note. So oops...':). And I have a new reviewer, who wrote the longest review I've ever seen, that's the reason for the DAMN!!! So to her(Or him which ever) kagomesbutterflyfeeling and I can tell that the character limit can be a pain for you. I think I've written chapters shorter than that review. So um yes the wall I spoke of was the prophecy wall, sorry I didn't specify that. I didn't want to kill Kia either, but I had to even though I was like 'NOOOO! Not Kia!!' even as I was writing it, though you should know, I do like pulling things out of my pockets some times ;P. I chose the less evil way. Uh...No Jenji is not Jeninji the medical herb guy, but I did steal his name and modify it for my own evil purposes. And Can I say your mind is very much like mine because you have thought of a lot of things I was planning on putting in here. And just to be curious, how did you dream Kagome would join the party. I just want to know.....See if it's better than my idea....Yeah I probably would steal it if it is. So what was it? I'm dieing of curiosity here....And just so ya'll know, this is a IxK fic, I'm just working on getting Kagome back into the story.
Chapter 8
Inuyasha ran to 0 point, but it was in shambles.
Worse.
Dark Mages were pouring through shooting their dark powers at anything that moved.
Nami, who was only a few steps behind him, saw this and tried to run out with her small dagger drawn.
Inuyasha grabbed the back of her tunic just in time. A flash of black power rushed past where she would have been standing had she continued.
"What the hell do you think your doing?" Inuyasha hissed throwing her behind him none too gently.
"I'm getting revenge! I'm stopping them from entering our home!" she cried with tears in her eyes.
"It's too late!" he said as the others, not nearly as fast as Inuyasha or Nami who was very fast for a human. "They're already here. All we can do is get everyone out safely." he fell back into his persona of Captain of the Royal Guard with ease he wouldn't have believed possible.
"Sango! Get our worriers! As many as you can! Tell them to hold off the mages for as long as possible!" he ordered.
"Sir!" she said with respect before running off, drawing a sword she had grabbed before leaving the training center.
Jenji! Miroku! Get all of the non-fighters out of here! Now!" he said next.
"Sir!" They said at the same time. Even Miroku, who could not remember Inuyasha in his past, or even knew what his past was, recognized his authority.
"Kira, Nami!" he turned to them.
"I suppose you're going to leave me out of the battle." she sulked.
Inuyasha looked her over. She was only fifteen, her hair was golden and she was a fine beauty and would be even more so as she grew into her figure.
But no, this wasn't her battle.
"Yes, I am." he told her with a sad smile. He had found Nami on the streets one day, she had escaped the castle dungeons, but not the castle guards. Her time in that hell had been so monstrous that she could not remember a thing beyond the night he found her, 6 years ago when she was just nine. He cared for her as if she was his own.
But that wasn't the only thing keeping him from letting her fight. Top in her class she might be, but she still was no trained warrior. He did not send his people to battle knowing there was no hope they would survive.
"You and Kira are on Self Destruct." he said. It was the mission they never liked or wanted to use. They collapsed the entire complex, including halls that led to other pieces of the city. Since this was the heart of it all, the mission would be even harder to carry out.
But it was a big responsibility, and both of them knew it.
"Yes, sir." Nami said looking determined. They had to make the choice to set of the explosions in time to keep the emperor's pigs from finding other halls to other places, even if it meant not all of their people had escaped.
"There is a detonator in my office, get that first!" he said pulling them away from the entrance before any mages noticed them. "Then go to the west wing! There's a door that is locked at all times. Use the bottom of the detonator as the key to get access inside. There you will find a lot of wires hooked up to even more explosives. Hook them to the panel at the far end of the room. Insert the detonator. That will trigger the magic and set off the explosives. From that point you will have one minute to get out. Use the door at the far end of the room. Now go!" he said speaking quickly and quietly.
The nodded and ran off toward his office, drawing their weapons.
Inuyasha did so as well and turned his attention to the hoard attacking his home for the second time.
Miroku had just helped a mother and her brood escape through one of the emergency tunnels and was heading back for more. He and Jenji had separated, agreed that they could get more people to safety by splitting up.
But Miroku hadn't seen Jenji once since then. He hadn't seen him helping out any families at all, but he probably just never saw him.
He stopped and gasped.
A family of three, an elderly couple and their still young daughter, were laying slain in the passageways.
"They must be getting closer." and ran off to perfrom his duties faster.
Sango sliced her blade across the back of one the mages, severing her spine. Then jumped out of the way in time to avoid the lightning bolt another had just thrown.
Mages were tricky yo fight. You could barely ever attack from the front because their magic would fry you. But you had to be quick if they came in large numbers or the others would fry you.
Sango had rallied as many of her people as possible, though not much needed done as they had all awoken and started to fight when the ground had first shaken.
For now she was just taken out as many as she could.
"Sango!" Jenji cried running to her side with his battle axe.
"Aren't you supposed to be evacuating?" she asked dodge rolling and taking the head of another mage as she came back up.
"I was. I found Inuyasha, he said Miroku has it covered and to come help you." he yelled swiping at and missing another mage.
"Great! Guard my back!"
"You got it!" and he placed his back against hers.
"Found it!" Nami cried in triumph holding up the small rectangular box imbued with magic.
"Let's go!" Kira called back who was guarding the door. So far she had only taken out two plain soldiers who found their way this far.
Together they ran down the corridor and headed for the west wing.
"Damn!" Nami cursed in a very unlady like fashion as she saw the smoke billowing from the hall.
"It's on fire. We have to hurry before the flames reach the fuses." Kira said calmly before running down the hall, Nami only a step behind her.
Inuyasha was tearing through enemies. He had his share of injuries, but they were mostly flesh wounds. The scrapes on his back and shoulders from falling rocks, the burn on his side from a mage who had a thing for flames, and an enemy soldier had got lucky and managed to sneak behind him and he now had a gash on the back of his thigh.
He was running down one of the family halls, it was deserted now. Jenji and Miroku must be almost done.
Another mage stepped into his path. She smiled and brought up her hands, glowing with sickly red power.
"I remember you." Inuyasha growled as he remembered being chucked out of a window by her power hitting him.
"Ready for a repeat performance?" she asked, her smile just as deranged as it was before.
"Bring it!" He growled.
"Gods bless you." and old man said as Miroku helped his family out.
Miroku was frustrated. He should have at least passed Jenji by now but he hadn't seen hide nor hair of him and none of the families he asked had seen him either.
"Miroku! It's time escape!" A man he didn't know said running up to him. "I just passed Kira and Nami in the west wing, they say their about to Self Destruct."
"What?" Miroku asked not knowing anything since he had just arrived.
"Their going to blow the whole place apart. Everyone is evacuating, even the soldier now."
"Go! I'll follow just as soon as I recheck the halls." Miroku said then ran off without waiting for an answer.
"Not at the top of your game, Jenji?" Sango asked, panting, surrounded by a group of enemy soldier. All of his attacks were either non-lethal or missed entirely.
"Guess not." he said turning around. "But I'm afraid this ends here."
"Wha..." was all Sango got out before he knocked her unconscious with the but of his axe.
"Hurry up!" Jenji growled as the soldiers relaxed. Sango lay limp in his arms.
"Yes, sir!" they all said before running of to continue the fight.
