Inuyasha and the choice
(Chapter 10)
Kagome kept feeling sharp shooting pain go through her side, she looked down to her blood stained school girls uniform. Kohana must have opened up the wounded on the way here, Kagome thought to herself. Inuyasha when are you going to get here, Kagome wrapped her arms around legs and brought her head to her knees.
"Kagome are you alright?" Kohaku asked seeing the blood stain grow; Kagome looked up and flashed him a fake smile, "I'm fine. Don't worry about me, it's just a scratch."
"It doesn't look like your average scratch." Kohaku lifted up one of his shoulder plates and threw Kagome a vile of medicine. "I know it's not much but it should help. So your wound doesn't get infected." Kagome smiled at Kohaku gratefully, "Thank you so much." Kagome went into the darkness to apply the medicine.
"Kagome, when do you think they are going to get here?" Kohaku slumped against the wall, "As soon as they find out that I'm missing." Kohaku looked over at Kagome's cage only being able to see her outline. "They don't know your missing?" Kagome walked back over to the cage bars and threw back Kohaku's medicine. "I'm sure that they know now, but I was going to the hot springs to relax by myself."
Kohaku moved his should cuff back into place. "Don't worry they will be here soon." They heard the door open and close the both melted into the shadows again.
Kohana walked over to Kagome's cage and unlocked the door swinging it open. "Come on wench. Time to go." Kohaku's eyes widened in the darkness and he mentally screamed, Noooo!
"Where are you taking me?" Kagome stepped lightly from the darkness not ready to leave the confines of the caged, unless it's Inuyasha or one of her friends taking her from the horrid place.
"Naraku ordered me to fetch you." Kagome took a step back as Kohana took a step forward "Come quietly and obediently and you won't get hurt. Yet." A smirk covered Kohana's face; he let a malevolent laugh escape his lips.
Kohana clamped down on Kagome's arm hard and shoved her in front of him so he could keep an eye on her. "Enjoying yourself Kohaku?" Kohana smiled as he pasted the cage leading Kagome from the room. Kohaku ran to the bars and watched Kagome and Kohana disappear around the corner, before she disappeared from his sight he saw Kagome give him a scared look.
"Inuyasha how much further?" Shippo yelled worrying about Kagome "We are almost there." Inuyasha yelled back thinking to himself, please be alright Kagome we're almost there please hold on.
Inuyasha and the gang busted through the front gate of the village. When they entered they saw dead bleeding bodies everywhere. Inuyasha, Koga, Ginta, and Hakkaku coved their noses from the stench of the dead bleeding bodies.
"What happened here?" Ginta said from behind his elbow "Naraku happened here that's what." Koga muttered and then punched the wall, everyone jumped at the sound of it echoing throughout the village. "Koga!" Sango screeched "Now we can't follow Kagome's scent because it's been massed by all these other scents of blood."
Kagome was being lead to a very big room, when Kohana pushed her through the door Kagome saw Naraku had pieced his body back together and his chest was bare.
"Ah. There you are my dearest Kagome." Kagome scowled at Naraku's choice of words "Kohana bring her to me." Kohana shoved Kagome farther into the room and she landed on her knees before Naraku.
"Kanna." Kanna walked to Naraku and stood there staring at Kagome, her mirror started to glow and Kagome let out a little moan of pain as she felt her body lift off the ground and freeze in midair. A bright light started to seep slowly out of Kagome's body, enveloping her in the bright light, started to feel dizzy. Kagome's vision started to go black.
"Over there!" Koga and Inuyasha heard a sound coming from their right in one of the huts.
They busted into the hut and ran down the stairs.
As the came to the last step they were surrounded by flesh and bones.
Naraku laughed evilly, "It's just like you guys to fall for an easy trap as the flesh and bones cage." Koga punched at the cage, but without any luck.
"Your efforts are in vane Inuyasha. We almost have what we wanted." Kanna said that quiet voice of hers, Inuyasha looked at her glowing mirror; he turned his head when he heard Sango gasp.
There Kagome was suspended in the air glowing. This bright bluish light hung around her and was slow starting to form a ball around her. "Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled Kagome didn't move, didn't say anything.
Inuyasha and the others tried all that they could to get out of the cage.
"Your struggle is amusing me. Is this girl that important to you?" Kohana said snickering from his place by Naraku's side "Don't think lightly of Kagome, Kohana. She does have great power. That is why we are taking it from her." Naraku and Kohana smiled at each other
Kagome gasped and started falling to the floor. "Kagome!" Koga screamed, they couldn't do anything but watch her fall to the ground with a thud. Kagome landed on the ground and the way her head fell she was facing them.
Kagome stared at them with unblinking and vacant eyes.
Her powers, now a bright blue ball, just hung in the air.
Naraku smiled and started to reach his hand up to absorb the power.
Just as he was about to absorb the power an arrow sliced through his hand. Kikyo maneuvered her way around the flesh and bone cage.
"Kikyo?!" Naraku had a horrible scowl plastered on his face
"You will not be taking the girls powers. They do not belong to you." Kikyo said walking more into the room
"I don't think you can stop me." Naraku said the smile coming back to his face
Kikyo's gaze fell over Kagome and then she smiled watch me, "Watch me." Kikyo disappeared and reappeared next to Kagome. Naraku's mouth drops open
"Oh like a disappear act and a reappear act will so help you stop me." Naraku threw his head back and laughed. Kikyo smiled and reached down and grabbed something from around Kagome's neck.
"What did you grab wench." Kohana barked at Kikyo, Kikyo paced him no mind. Kagome placed the tips of her fingers together and in between her hands hung Kagome's yellow gemstone necklace. The black chain was knotted around Kikyo's fingers and the medium sized stone hung in between her palms.
"What is she doing?" Kagura asked speaking for the first time since they've been there. Kikyo started chanting something quietly and Naraku was growing agitated. His arm was almost done healing, Kikyo's chants started to bring the glowing ball of power streaming down and into the necklace between her palms.
"No! Somebody stop her!" Naraku screamed at the top of his lungs Kohana started for Kikyo. "Adamant Barrage!" Inuyasha sword came to life as shards came flying out of the flesh and bone cage and digging into Kohana, Kohana screamed in pain falling to his knees bleeding and broken.
The last of the power was about to be sucked into the necklace as well, when Naraku jumped reaching out of it. The last of Kagome's power slipped through Naraku's grasp and disappeared into the necklace. Naraku fell onto his stomach a few feet away from the motionless Kagome.
Kikyo knelt down and clasped the necklace back around Kagome's neck and a bright light incased Kikyo and Kagome.
The bright light grew brighter and exploded around the room. The cage holding everyone dissolved and they were free at last.
When the bright light disappeared they saw that Kagome had gotten to her feet. Kikyo and Kagome's hands were clasped and they were breathing hard, they both looked like they had just fought a war, just the two of them, and became victorious.
