Lucky Shots, Monsters And Blood
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha. If I did, Sesshoumaru would be tied up in my shed after shortly being joined by Bo Duke.
Goshenki, the demon who was causing all of this to happen, was coming closer to Inuyasha, Miroku and Sukai.
They had(With some help) managed to get into the forest but the demon followed, obviously bent on destroying everything in its path.
"Sukai! Take Inuyasha and get behind me!" Miroku shouted. "Don't ask. Just do what I told you!" Sukai had opened her mouth to ask something, but closed it as soon as she saw Miroku unwrapping his right hand.
but then the sound of buzzing made Sukai look up. They had been joined by the one thing that could stop Miroku: Hell Wasps.
"Miroku! Look out!" Sukai had unfruitfully stopped Miroku from sucking up the new arrivals.
He had sucked in three or four before she set her brother down and tackled him.
"Miroku! Are you alright? Miroku!" She rolled him over and shook him.
"Yeah, I'm alright, for now..." He trailed off.
"Will you need help gettin' up?" She asked, scared as hell.
"No. I'll be fine." He said, forcing himself up.
"I think." He said under his breath.
"Miroku, Sukai! There you are!" A familiar voice rose over the noise.
"Sango!" Sukai stood up and waved violently.
Sango, with Kagome and Shippo were riding on Kilala's back.
"Sango-you...made i-" Miroku stopped short and passed out, the poison of the wasps had spread through his body at an alarming rate. The last thing he saw was Sango sliding of Kilala then he was plunged into a world of darkness. He didn't hear Sango calling his name while trying her hardest not to cry.
"Miroku! Miroku, please wake up, please!" Sango cried, shaking him. But her voice was drowned out by Goshenki.
"Kagome, Sukai! grab the boys and get outta here! I'll hold 'im off long enough." She called Kilala over so the saber tooth like creature could help them.
"But I can stay and fight!" Sukai said.
"No, Sukai! You're too young! And you don't have complete control of your powers yet. So stay here and help Kagome!" Sango stood up.
"he's right Sukai. You need to stay here." Kagome said, putting an arm around Inuyasha and lifting him up.
"Oh yea? Watch this!" Sukai turned around and ran towards Goshenki, bent on proving them wrong.
Okay, powers I really need you. Please, please, PLEASE work! She thought to herself. Sukai waved her hand and her silver bow appeared in midair.
yes! She grinned. The quiver that held the specially made silver arrows had appeared on her back as if they'd been there all her life. She stopped a good 50 yards or so away from Goshenki, who luckily hadn't noticed her yet. Sukailookedup andpulled an arrow out and notched it.
Okay, lets see if Lady Kikyou's lessons helped. She thought about the day 70 years ago Kikyou had taught her how to shoot an arrow properly.
(Inuyasha and Sukai are running around, playing seventy years ago)
"'M gunna get you, Sukai! You best run!" Inuyasha said, chasing his younger sister around a field. Inuyasha had just met Kikyou a few months previous.
"Nu-uh! You can't get me!" She said in a sing song voice.
"Oh yeah?" He jumped out of Sukai's sight.
"Huh? What tha?" She said. Little did she know her older brother was just hiding in the trees.
"Boo! Gotcha!" Inuyasha jumped down and grabbed Sukai.
"EEEEKKKK!" She screamed just as Kikyou, with a shy Kaede on her heels, walked up. The young Youkai pulled away from her brother's grasp and ran over to Kikyou and hid behind her and Inuyasha fell over laughing.
"Inuyasha. What're you doing to the poor girl?" Kikyou asked, walking over to Inuyasha and smacking him on the back of his head.
"Ow! I's just playin'. Jeez." Inuyasha rubbed his head, giving Kikyou a cold look.
"Tell her your sorry. I want to ask her something but I can't until to say sorry." Kikyou pulled Sukai from behind her who had been talking with Kaede.
"Okay, okay. Sorry, sis." He flatly said. Sukai looked at him like he was nuts.
"Inuyasha!" Kikyou exclaimed.
"Fine! I'm sorry, Sukai." He said, actually being nice.
"Apology accepted." Sukai said.
"Finally. Sukai, how would you like to learn how to shoot an arrow, properly?" Kikyou asked her, knowing about her powers.
"I'd love to. But, I'm afraid I'll hurt either myself or someone else." Sukai frowned.
"Like I say a lot, never trust a chick with a bow. Specially a miniature one." Inuyasha sarcastically said. All three girls gasped.
"Inuyasha! Don't be so mean!" Kikyou said sourly.
"Worry not child. I can help you." She and smiled at Sukai but scowled at Inuyasha for his rudeness.
"Thank you, Lady Kikyou." Sukai bowed.
"No problem. Just promise me something." Kikyou said.
"Anything!" Came the answer.
"Keep an eye on Inuyasha, you know how he gets into trouble." Kikyou joked.
"Yes, ma'am" Sukai said in mock seriousness.
"Well, let us set up a target. Inuyasha, please stand in front of that tree." Kikyou stood, pointing to a tree about few feet away.
"Nothin' doin'. All ya gotta do is carve a mark on it cause I ain't a target. I'll see ya'll later." And with that he left.
"Well fine, don't watch your precious younger sister actually do something you can't!" Sukai called after him. He didn't answer back, but he raised his hand to show he heard.
"Hm. Well, let's get at it." Kaede said, holding on to a bow.
"Yeah!" Sukai waved her hand and a silvery bow appeared. Kaede asked if she could see the arrows Sukai used.
"Sure. Here ya go." She handed her pure white quiver to the young girl. Kaede gently pulled an arrow out and examined it.
"I've never seen arrows like these before. Do you have the power of purification?" Kaede ask, still examining the arrows with wide eyes.
"Yes. How could you tell?" Sukai's face had confusion written all over it.
"Well, even though you're a youkai, your arrows have a special aura around them, like if you were in a battle and you shot an arrow, it'd start glowing and stuff." Kaede explained.
"She's right, Sukai. Your powers are extraordinary. Different then any other demon." Kikyou said.
"Cool. Anyway, You go first, Kaede." Sukai and Kikyou stepped back while young Kaede notched her bow and aimed. She let go and missed the tree by a few feet. Sukai saw Kaede's shoulders drop down in disappointment.
"Don't be so sad Kaede. Hardly anyone gets a bull's eye on their first shot." Sukai tried to cheer Kaede up.
"Yeah I know. Anywho, it's your turn. Good luck." She took her place beside Kikyou. Sukai gently placed an arrow on her bow and sucked in some air. She lifted the bow, took aim and hit dead center. Kaede felt her jaw drop and she hurried to close her mouth before Sukai saw her jealousness.
"Well, that was a lucky shot. Don't know if I could make that again." Sukai said, trying to pretend that she didn't sense the jealously coming from behind her.
"Lady Kikyou! Please, you must come with me, my sister, she is sick. She's complains of her stomach hurting. I'll tell you the rest on the way back to the village." Said a woman from the village who had been looking for Kikyou for almost an hour.
"Anzuki is sick? Well, I must go tend to her. Stay here, children and practice, I'll be back as soon as possible. Come Asura, lets go." She placed a hand on Asura's shoulder and gently lead her away.
"Well, we heard her, so lets practice some more. Your turn" Sukai stepped aside and watched as Kaede prayed to God she'd at least hit the target, even if it was the edge. She didn't hit the target but she hit the tree. Both her and Sukai cheered and switched places.
(Back to the present, Sukai's aiming her arrow)
Sukai sucked in a deep breath of air and held it. She released the arrow and prayed it'd hit it's mark. It hit, not where she wanted it too, but it hit. So she shot a few more.
Goshenki roared angrily and tried to pull the now bloody arrow out but all it did was burn him. The monster ripped up a large tree out of the ground and threw it at her.
Kagome and Sango both screamed with fright and tried to get to Sukai but Sango pulled Kagome back right as the tree came crashing down on top of her. Kagome screamed and sang to her knees but Sango Pulled out Hirakotsu and out of pure rage viciously attacked Goshenki. After a mere 5 minutes the monster had been destroyed. Kagome had run over to Sukai, seeing if she was still alive. Sukai was alive, but barely.
Inuyasha was awoken by the rumbling off Goshenki's body and when he sat up he saw Kagome by a tree.
"What's she doing over there?" He mumbled and painfully stood up. That's when he noticed what looked like a white body underneath the uprooted tree.
"Oh no, Sukai!" He whispered. He hobbled as fast as he could to her. Within a 50 ft radius he could hear sobs coming from Kagome, Sango and shuddering breaths coming from his younger sister.
"Sukai, Sukai! What happened?" He said as he dropped to his knees by her.
"I-I tried t-to attack...G-g-goshenki" She said, sobbing.
"Ssh, your gunna be alright Sukai, don't you worry, 'kay? I'll lift this thing off you" He groaned as he stood up and feebly tried to lift the large tree.
"Brother, s-stop, you'll o-only hurt y-y-yourself more. P-please, stop" She begged while still trying to hold on to what life she had left.
"Sukai...I'm sorry" Inuyasha said, teaing up.
"What? W-why are y-" She coughed, making some blood splatter on the ground in front of her. The other girls gasped and put their hands to their mouths. Inuyasha gulped, tears welling up in his eyes. He leaned over and kissed Sukai's forehead.
"Brother, Don't worry about me. I-I can't feel any pain right now..." Her voice trailed off.
"Sukai? Sukai! Wake up, sis, you gotta...stay..awake" He shook her gently and started crying silently.
She'd never wake up again.
"Su..Sukai, W-wake up..." They heard Miroku whisper. He had woken up and was standing behind the girls.
"Miroku..." Sango silently stood up and buried her tear streaked face in his purple and black robes. Inuyasha And Miroku lifted up the tree enough that Sango and Kagome could pull Sukai's cold body out. Inuyasha Gently picked his sister's body up and hugged it tightly, tears flowing down his face...
