Chapter 9 of A Little Twist in the Prophesy
Naraku had been oddly inactive for the past month and the group was beginning to think he had something extremely foul up his
sleeve. A week after Kagome was kidnapped they decided to see what the evil hanyou was up to so they set off to find him. All
were impatient for the final battle and they all felt they were prepared to kill him once and for all.
-----------------------------------------------
Naraku laughed with evil intent as the month went by smoothly as he readied for the battle to kill the damn miko that would threaten
his very existence. He had been quiet for a month while he built up his strength to immeasurable proportions and he had found allies
among the strongest and vilest demons and humans that he could muster for his cause. His little plan was ready to set into action as
he watched the group prepare to hunt him down. He hadn't been totally quiet though being as he was the one who had sent Ruyo to
break the defiant miko, which had failed miserably when those two meddling brothers had saved her. But he was certain he had
enough to take them all out without to much effort on his part.
--
He told his enormous evil army to prepare for battle they were heading out to meet the small rag-tag group. They should meet in a
day for the battle that would decide the future of the world.
------------------------------------------
Sesshomaru walked protectively next to Kagome as they began their search for the hated hanyou. He was on full alert for the sign
of danger and to his frustration Kagome was completely calm next to him. He was irritated at her calm demeanor, she was walking
into a battle that might take her life but she acted as though she was on a morning stroll. Gritting his teeth to keep from growling at
the thought of her dieing and leaving him alone when he had just found a companion for his long rather solitary life. He had yet to
claim her as his mate and that only furthered his aggravation.
--
Kagome was deceptively calm on the outside, but on the inside she was bursting at the seams to get it over with so that her and
Sesshomaru could be together. She could feel his emotions as they brushed against her aura and wondered what had him so uptight
at the moment, she wouldn't dare ask him though out of respect for him due to the fact that they weren't alone. So she just resigned
to walk beside him silently as she tried to soothe him with her aura, but it was a fruitless try on her part.
--
Inuyasha had been oddly silent after Kagome was rescued, he didn't know how to act now that he had lost Kagome to his brother.
Yeah they could still be friends but it would never be the same, Kikyo had been missing for months now and there wasn't any way
to find her. So his only goal in life for the moment was to ensure the death of Naraku no matter what. He would give his life in order
to kill the filthy hanyou that had taken his first love from him.
--
At the end of the day they made camp and settled in for a restless night with little sleep. All of them could feel the evil that had
grown closer throughout the day and now it was unbearably strong. Certain it was Naraku they set sentries for the night to be
changed every few hours, so that all of them could get some sleep before the impending battle.
--
On waking they ate silently and packed as fast as they were able to. Traveling in the direction of the evil feeling as it grew stronger
by each stride in its direction. Topping a large hill they stared into the massive army below them with apprehension running high
around them. Something caught their attention and they saw Naraku hovering in the air above the army.
--
Hissing, Kagome made ready to charge directly for Naraku followed closely by Sesshomaru.
--
Yes the evil cliffy, I promise not to leave you hanging for too long. I just need to set up a good battle sequence, which I
am currently lacking. So till next chapter and I do apologize for it being so short, my mind is elsewhere tonight so I
can't concentrate very well.
