Chapter 10
Kagome followed Sesshoumaru and into his study and was soon headed to the kitchen while she inspected her sword. They heard the troops outside gathering as she came back from eating. She gave a quick bow and left, you could hear her barking out orders to the troops and speaking with the generals. They left heading Northeast while Kagome ran threw the castle to the armory.
InuYasha poked his head in with Shippo. "How long will you be gone this time?"
They watched her put on her breast plate and strap it to the back plate. Then the shoulder guard and the arm guards. The armor was silver with swirls of purple on it and the crescent moon on the back. She began redoing her hair in the braid while she talked. "It should be a quick battle if all goes well. The war should be over soon, I have stopped this mornings attack of about 30 warriors and 1 general. I should be going up against Hayato the falcon demon."
InuYasha stomped into the room. "Isn't he a rank higher than you in power?" She nodded. "Then why are you battling him, Sesshoumaru should be doing it, hell send one of those other dudes like Youko, he has nine tails."
She shook her head. "This is my battle InuYasha. I'm the next in rank after Sesshoumaru in his lands. This is not Youko's battle, anyways, Kuronue has a plan to end the war so you will stay here and listen in for me. I need you to be my eyes and ears here while I'm gone. I will be fine, its night and I have two moons here for power and the shadows of the night to aid me. Just wait for my return please. I should be back within a few days. Now, I must leave." She made her way past InuYasha then Shippo grabbing her headress and left, heading to the front.
She put the headress on while braiding the beads and silk pieces to her braid and the rest free flowing while the front was clipped into her hair as the metal strips went down the sides of her head and the top was similar to a tiara but not as delicate and had beads going from the front of the tiara to the back. She left the castle going through the fort and making her way to the front where Sesshoumaru awaited her.
"When you get back then we shall fit you into the gown for the ball. If I have to attend such an event then you shall share the humiliation." She scowled at him and nodded. She checked that her sword was secure and sash tight around her slim waist. She bowed to Sesshoumaru and left before Youko or anyone else could object to her leaving.
Youko walked out hoping to see what has Kagome in a rush and watched her depart dressed in battle gear. He looked at Sesshoumaru who was still looking into the forest she dissappeared in. "Where is she going?"
"To battle Hayato. If she defeats him then we will be able to storm Lord Taj's castle and win the war. If she suffers defeat then depending on the circumstances we may or may not be on the defensive." He waited to let Youko figure out his hidden message while he place a hand on Tenseiga.
"You mean, if she survives but is defeated we will be waiting on her wounds to heal and be on the defensive. If she dies then we will be on the offensive still because you will just bring her back to life with Tenseiga." He stated. "Kuronue has an idea to end the war. We can enforce it right after this battle before they can find more demons."
Sesshoumaru nodded and left to go back to his study and listen to the new battle plan. He would have to take Kagome's spot in accepting or declining the plan since she will be away. He figured those two would not be very happy that she is fighting battles all the time even though there was a wish for peace. That wish stayed in Ningenkai and shortened itself in Makai.
Kagome was jumping through trees like a blur cathing up to the army and the general she put in charge. She knew that it would be foolish for her to battle Hayato but she has been up against other strong enemies including back in the day against Sesshoumaru, and she survived all of the encounters. She has made it this far, having one more battle where the enemy is stronger than yourself would not be much of a difference to her. She closed in on the army of warriors and they stopped like she had ordered. She went ahead of them and looked at the enemies forces just over the next hill.
She pushed them on to the top of the hill and watched as Hayato prepared for the attack and she sent command to charge. Her and Hayato were both watching the attacks both pleased and made there way away from the battling warriors about a thousand on both sides.
"I see you decided to show yourself today. You have been eliminating our forces by yourself and I'm sure those attacks were designed by you, were they not. You could join our forces Kagome, I wouldn't have to make you suffer the humiliation of defeat in this battle." Hayato suggested as he gave her a quick scan with a wicked smile. "Sesshoumaru shouldn't have his best female out battling his war when he could have you warming the bed instead. I know Lord Taj would love to sweeten the war by having you as a prize. I should have known that when he retreated from his castle 6 years ago, that you would have been of value to take you with us. I should have known you were the one Sesshoumaru had been searching for since he arrived in Makai with his allies and half brother."
She looked at him disgusted. "As if, the second you would have taken those chains off I would most likely have purified you. I would never serve against Sesshoumaru, my friends, family and allies. Scratch that, they are my family and no one could ever force me to go against them and not under demons like you."
She pulled out her sword while he did the same. They were fighting on barren ground except for the stalks of land the looked like columns.(do you know what i'm talking about, those things where its a flat circular shape up top and then a narrow mound of rock like a trunk of a tree. I have no idea what they are called but its YYH, so yeah its like the episode Yusuke turned demon) They charged at each other at the same time dodging blows and clashing swords as they kicked up dust. Soon a dust cloud formed and they broke apart leave 200 ft between them. Kagome held her sword horizontal and sent a pink blast at Hayato who countered it with his green youki.
The power generating from the blasts was getting larger and larger as they kept trying to dominate one another. She fed her miko ki into the attack purifying his energy but soon the attacks broke through eachother and they were both hit with the others blast. Kagome flew into one of the columns while Hayato was sent into the forest still trying to fight the miko ki with a barrier. He deflected attack with his sword finally and sped after Kagome where they met with sword using any dirty trick while the swords were at a lock. He brought his left arm back and went to punch Kagome who ducked and try to sweep his feet from under him, the pink energy from her blade and the green swirling around his had an unnatural wind blowing while blue sparks picked up between the blades. The winds strength picked up and Kagome and Hayato grabbed there swords with both hands. A blue twister formed from the sparks and reached towards the skies getting wider as it reached its height. The pink swirling horizontally outwards and the green dancing around them. They were both reaching their own peaks but Kagomes was coming much faster than his. She fed in her demonic energy using a barrier between it and her miko ki so they don't fight eachother but more like fly and swirl around each other.
The power radiating from that area stopped the battle not far away as everyone watched it blow sending them flying away from it with a great amount of force. When the warriors were getting up rubbing there sores the powers were gone. Many eyes were still wide and some still flinching from the miko ki.
At Sesshoumaru's castle they got a view of the unnatural twister and Shippo tried to flee to his adopted mothers aid but he was held solid along with Rin and InuYasha. When the blow was gone the couldn't detect either aura and Youko's teeth grinded together and Sesshoumaru narrowed his focus hoping for at least a spark from Kagome. There was nothing. He bowed his head slightly and flexed his fist and turned around towards his army. "Move out! We storm the castle Hayato is disposed of."They all took off to the enemy castle.
InuYasha spoke up. "If Hayato survived the blow, what would he do if he found Kagome? Isn't he known for his lust and raping woman?" He questioned Sesshoumaru.
"Yes he is and Kagome knows that. This is why she wished to continue her battle with Hayato so she can bring justice to the woman he has forced himself on."
Hayato woke up to find his warriors gathered around him as his leading general stepped forward to help him back to the castle. They made it back in good time but the opposing aura's were gaining ground. They heard Kagome's warriors breaching the walls. They were still in the entrance hall when the doors blasted open to three demons and worn out beaten up one being Kagome. Lord Taj entered from another door way.
"Hayato, dispose her, she can barely stand." Lord Taj ordered as he looked at the battered demoness miko.
Kagome held herself up by her sword and spoke to the two warriors holding the doors open. "Storm the castle, Lord Sesshoumaru has arrived and I have completed what needed to be done." She looked at Lord Taj. "Your fight to the death with m'lord has come. I merely needed to clear the way and weaken Hayato so he would not have any nuisances in the way like you running away from a fight like you did six years ago. Coward. Its like Naraku, doing whatever it takes to save himself while everyone else suffers. I will let you know that he was defeated and like an idiot he thought sending me to the pits of Makai would kill me or taint me. Neither has happened, and you will not flee this time because Lord Sesshoumaru is already here."
Just then he appeared behind her while Youko, Yomi and Kuronue with their thieves came from other parts of the castle with full bags swung over there shoulders grinning at Lord Taj. He looked around him not seeing a way out of this. He saw Hayato shove the general away and stand on his own. He drew his sword pointing it at Kagome who also stood upon her own feet still clutching her sword with a death grip. Youko stepped forward and she shook her head.
"GUARDS ATTACK!" His guards and warriors fled into the castle and Kagome and Hayato were at it again tearing up the castle while Sesshoumaru drew Toukijin.
"Fight your own battles, don't cower in fear, have you no pride in yourself?" Sesshoumaru snarled. Youko and the rest of them took care of the guards while Lord Taj drew his own staff with a chained scythe attached at one end.
The castle began to fall apart all around them and Hayato fled to the safety of the outside. Kagome chased him into the forest, her domain, he cannot move as easily in here. She stalked around in the forest sheathing her sword. She barely dodged an attack, it catching on her cape. Hayato jumped from the trees and punched her hard in the stomach. Blood flew from her mouth as her eyes widened a choked gasp escaping her. She grit her teeth and sunk her claws into his side bringing the poison into her claws.
He smacked her as he had her pinned underneath him. He reached back pulling a light brown feather from his wings. He blew on the feather and it flashed a bright white blinding Kagome and when it finished her hands were being held down by an invisible force while the bright light hovered over her. She watched him smirk above her. Her eyes widened even more and she tried to put up a fight but her arms would not respond in the slightest. She used her legs to kick him in the gut sending him into a nearby tree where the vines began to restrain him. He ripped them apart and lunged onto Kagome punching her in the gut and then the cheek.
She squeezed her thighs together while he pried them apart with his strength. "Youko should have taken you for his own when he had the chance and the same for the others. If they won't take the chance then their lost will be my gain and I will enjoy every ounce of pleasure I get from you."
Youko was still battling when he caught the scream from Kagome coming from the forest. He stopped and stood tall looking in the direction of the forest. Sesshoumaru approached him and whipped the blood from his blade and sheathed it. He took a sniff of the scent on the wind while his eyes narrowed. He wasted no time in leaving the battle with the others in tow. Sango appeared with Miroku and Kirara still wearing there normal clothes. They followed after them into the forest where they could smell Kagome's blood. Kohaku landed on a tree branch where a puddle of her blood lay but it was different smelling than the other blood.
Hayato came out from the underbrush licking his bloody claws while his fangs also dripped of blood. He looked at the group with his yellow eyes. "She tastes good. Too bad for you guys, she would have been good for warming your beds but now she won't be doing that. Females exist to pleasure men, not fight your battles and I'm quite sure she has no learned that lesson. She just has a few more areas that need to be broken and she will then be obedient to me and wait for me every night. I wonder what kitsune and falcon would be like for breeding. I only have 9 months to wait until my mate gives birth to my offspring." He grinned.
Youko's eyes glowed red while Sesshoumaru also was beginning to lose it to his beast. The others shook with their fury and Sango released Hirakotsu at him as she screamed her anger. He dodged the attack and looked Sango up and down while tasting the blood on his lips. "Kagome has already learned her lesson but perhaps that lesson has not been taught to you yet." Miroku stood in front of Sango glaring at the demon.
"Where is Lady Kagome, what have done with her?" His eyes hard and furious as he watched this demon continue to savour her blood one clawed finger at a time. Miroku gave a disgusted face and moved to uncover his prayer beads if needed.
"She ran away but I will find her soon. She can flee all she wants but I will find her soon and when I do, she will learn that the male dominates the female and all she will do is a womans work. She will have to give in some day." He gave one last smirk and disappeared.
Youko's eyes still glowing red and his fangs slightly lengthened he took off in search of Kagome. He headed to the last place most would go but for her she live there for over five decades. He made his ways to the pits and without stopping he jumped in and when he neared the ground he grew a butterfly looking plant from his back. He looked around down there noticing a lot of similar plants to his own.
Once he reached an area of similar roses and moon flowers surround a giant Sakura tree, he caught her scent. He looked up at the top of the trunk and began his way up. He landed on a branch and saw a bloodied figure huddled at the base of the limbs. He caught the scent of salt and narrowed his eyes. He jumped down to her and looked at all the bite and claw marks he gave her.
He kneeled down her back facing her. He watched as her teary blue eyes opened a little to look at him, noticing that his eyes were that glowing red. She watched him wearily before closing her eyes and curling into herself even more as she lay in the fetal position.
Youko reached his left hand out and set it on her upper arm. He lay down behind her, pulling her to him while he tried to comfort her while licking her wound and the blood on her. It wasn't long till she turned over and buried her face into his chest. His arms tightened around her and he let her stay there while she cried in pain both emotional and physical while the blood still slighly leaked from between her legs.
She fell asleep in his arms while he continued to clean her wounds and then he growled seeing the mating mark. His demonic blood and instincts still in main control provoked him to snarl at it. He went to the opposite side and was sucking and lightly nipping the crook of her neck, leaving his own love bite as a promise that she will be his. All he has to do is kill the male who trespassed and violated his female.
Sry but I decided to add that to the story to spice things up a bit. Otherwise him and Kagome would have been together a lot sooner than I wanted them to be. Well yeah I gave you extra cuz I went to sleep after I got my baby calmed down. She was very upset after her shots so the whole days events really drained me out. Well, I'm going to take a nap before she wakes up and then I'll continue with writing Chapter 11 and kill that piece of scum Hayato. I don't like rape scenes and didn't want to offend anyone cuz I myself am sensitive to the subject so I didn't write it and I will never write one. So hope the chapter went great!
