The Goddess Who Brought Hell

Ch. 10 – Thunder Terror

KAGOME POV

[({..**..})]

"Shippo? Shippo? What the heck just happened to him? Sesshomaru?" I was panicking and I had good reason to. I mean, wouldn't you if you just met a cute kid and then they fainted and you couldn't do anything about it? Well, hopefully it was just fainting…

"I'm not sure what just happened but I think he just fainted out of shock." Sesshomaru suggested quietly. He sniffed the air around him and for a second I forgot he was a demon and I looked at him in disgust.

"KOUGA!" Sesshomaru barked all of a sudden. "GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE AND EXPLAIN YOURSELF!"

Woah… I never knew he could swear. He always seems like the type to be calm and collected. I felt a rapid burst of air whip my hair around and temporarily blind me as well. I opened my eyes to see a guy with a black ponytail and blue eyes staring into my eyes and holding my hands. Uncomfortable, I tell ya. "Who are you and what do you want?" I asked, not hesitant in the slightest.

"My name is Kouga Ookami, and I have had my eyes on you for a while." Way to make me feel like an item, wolf.

He chuckled, looking at me with amusement clear in his eyes. "What?" I asked instinctively.

"It's just what you just said. Calling me a wolf and all that." Oh. I didn't realize I said that out loud. He chuckled once more seeing the dawning realization in my eyes and abruptly said, "You're mine. I'm never letting you go." And with that he crushed me to his chest. Cocky much?

I heard a growl behind me and I was glad for the distraction. Seriously, I think the guy has problems.

"She's with me." Sesshomaru said. "And stop trying to distract her from Shippou."

"The fox kit? What about him?"

"Your wolves tried to freakin' eat him."

"I know. So?"

"So? So, Kagome loves him. And you just hurt him. You really think you have a chance now?"

"Oh. I see where you're going with this."

"Sorry, Kagome. It won't happen again." Kouga promised me.

What I didn't understand was what just happened. I was totally lost here. I mean, clearly I'm not a demon. So why does he freakin' think he owns me?

Sesshomaru seemed to see my face and smirked. "Kouga, I suggest you run now before she recov-"

"Too late." I murmured loud enough for them to hear a mile away. A howl tore through the momentarily still air. Time seemed to freeze as howl after howl was heard throughout the entire island. Anguished again and again. "Sorry!," was one of the few words heard in the howl. Meanwhile Shippou and Sesshomaru were looking on in sheer amusement.

The moment of enjoyment was cut off as everyone heard the soft moan that erupted from behind the bushes. I stopped as I remembered Shippou's mother and ran to her, leaving Kouga mid-air for a few seconds before he fell down on his butt.

"Miss… Are you okay? Is your head still hurting?" I asked, concerned for not only her but also Shippou whose eyes seemed to instantly fill with tears when he saw his mother.

Her eyes immediately searched after Shippou's terrified voice and murmured a soft, "Run, my boy," before she looked back straight up into the darkening sky. Wait, darkening sky? Kagome looked up to see two hideous shadows peering down at her with sheer malice. She couldn't help but shiver and muttered a small help that was sure to alert Sesshomaru and maybe even Koga. But until then it was up to her to protect Shippou and his mother.

The next second a thousand booms were heard with paralyzing cackles adjoining them. A millisecond later a blue shield was around Shippou, his mother and Kagome herself. At that moment Sesshomaru reached the grounds and smiled inwardly to himself. It seems as if she is unconsciously using her powers to save herself. At least her subconscious remembers it. He scoffed. Stupid girl.

"Who are you?" He asked in his cold, calculating voice, knowing that the enemies would hear. They are demons after all.

"We? We are the Thunder Brothers. Surely you have heard of our great destruction and terror." The ugly one said.

"No." Sesshomaru coldly replied. "Good luck with getting your name around after you die."

"Ooohh. A death threat. Leave this one to me Manten." The human looking one ordered.

"Alright brother Hiten. I shall take to the one with the beautiful hair." He cackled in pleasure. "Finally, I shall gain some hair for my beautiful head."

"We'll just see about that, ne? You will not be getting a single millimeter of MY hair. Just you watch. You'll probably be leaving this place with only your soul once I'm done with you."

"Hmmm… feisty too… Gutsy… You are clearly the one destined for me." Kouga said as he reappeared. Kagome groaned silently but didn't let him get to her when her life was on the line.

"Yo, you fat balding demon!" She goaded Manten, "Wanna try and catch me?" She ran as fast as she can with her hair flying behind her only adding to the immense frustration that Manten was already feeling. She could sense the green demon following her and was glad that Shippou had left her. As she sighed out loud she heard a whimper behind her and turned around. "Shippou?"

"Kagome I'm scared…!" Well there goes the safety of the kid… She thought sadly. Well, might as well get this show on the road. She expanded her powers that she had secretly been practicing and shielded Shippou and threw him to the ground. "Sorry Shippou but you gotta stay somewhere you won't get hurt!" She said as she kept on running.

Manten kept following her without tiring and she finally came to a stop. "So you big bully… ready for a fight?" The great demon let out a deep and long laugh that echoes through the air. "You think it's funny don't you? Well, I'll show you."

And show she did.

She jumped into the air and produced a sword out of nowhere as she started to slash at Manten relentlessly. Back at Sesshomaru and Hiten's fight they could hear Manten's last cries and Kagome's victorious squeals. Hiten immediately became more serious about the fight as he seemed to want to go to his brother and called to the Thunder. His two swords lit up as he charged at Sesshomaru forgetting that Sesshomaru was one of the last heirs to the Western Lands.

And Hiten was easily murdered. Kagome appeared through the bushes with Shippou riding on her shoulder. She and Sesshomaru exchanged smirks and she put her hand up to show him the shining jewels in her hands. "Hold on." She warned and went to Hiten. She bent down and plucked out a few pink jewels out of his head.

What the hell? Sesshomaru thought.

"These are the Shikon jewels of the famous Feudal Legends." She said as if answering Sesshomaru's thoughts. "You know the legend right?"

"Of course." He said immediately. All demons have heard of it. "Well these are parts of the jewel."

"Parts?" Why parts?

"Because the jewel was shattered a few millennia ago." A mystical voice answered his thoughts.
