Chapter 11: Trapped!
Once Maya reached the front porch of Akuma's house, the door opened for her.
"Maya? What are you doing out at this hour?" Allia asked, her brown eyes holding concern.
"I-is Akuma awake?" Maya asked.
"Yes, come in." Allia said.
Maya walked in, easily spotting Akuma sitting on the couch.
"Maya? Is that the..." Akuma stood.
"Yes. I can't stay long, but..."
"Can I see it?" Akuma held a hand out.
"Yeah, but just a minute." Maya said, handing him the heavy sword.
Akuma unsheathed the sword, and it shimmered a light blue in his presence.
"Fascinating." Akuma said.
"Yeah. It is. I should go now. So." Maya said, preparing to grab the sword.
"Foolish girl." Allia sounded behind her.
Maya turned in time to see Allia's eyes turn golden and her brown hair turn black.
"You give into people so easily." Allia said.
"Uh...Akuma, what is going on?" Maya asked.
"I'm sorry Maya." Akuma said sadly as he backed away, still having the Tensaiga in hand.
Maya gasped as slimy tentacles surrounded her, tightening around her body, and her back was pressed to the wall.
She watched terrified as Akuma handed the Tensaiga to Allia.
"At last. We can finally have out own life back. All thanks to you. Stubborn half-breed." Allia said, smirking up at Maya.
Akuma left the room, only to return, dragging a golden casket.
"What's going on? What are you doing?" Maya asked, a couple tears falling down her face.
"We are bringing back a dear friend, whom your father destroyed many years ago." Allia said, opening the casket.
"Naraku?! He's your father!" Maya screamed surprised to Akuma.
"Yes." Akuma said plainly.
"Now shut up, before you draw the whole litter here!" Allia growled, and a tentacle covered Maya's mouth.
Maya watched helplessly and in fear as the Tensaiga pulsed rapidly, as if it was having a hard time accepting it's master and who it was reviving.
"Ah... So this is what Sesshomaru sees when reviving someone." Allia said, and soon, she sliced the blade right above the figure that lay in the casket.
It was silent for a long time.
Suddenly, Allia knelt down to the casket, and Maya could hear a faint gasp for air coming from the figure in the casket.
"Shh. I know you need energy. I have just the snack for you. My love." Allia said, and Maya was dragged forward.
Soon, she to was kneeling before the casket, and was staring down at two pairs of light red eyes.
The tentacles evaporated.
"A little help on your part. Brat." Allia growled, and Maya whimpered as she was pressed down further towards Naraku.
Maya could feel and smell his dead skin, it reeked, and she had to hold back a gag in between her cries.
Suddenly, a sharp dagger like pain came from the side of Maya's neck, and her eyes widened as she felt blood being sucked from her neck.
"No! Stop it! Please!" Maya cried in pain as she tried to pull back, but just a few ounces of blood from her was all Naraku needed to be able to sit up himself, and his limbs to work enough to where one of his arms wrapped around Maya and returned to the puncture on the side of her neck.
Maya screamed, but slowly, her voice faded into little squeaks.
Suddenly, her body felt as if it were going numb, and she felt really really tired.
She couldn't make anymore movements, or sounds, she just wanted to sleep.
In that moment, the walls broke down caused by a medium huge sized dog demon, and Maya was soon dropped to the floor, and she could hear a loud growl or bark.
'Austin' Maya could see with her blurred vision.
Austin growled as he landed in the house, both Allia and Akuma were thrown aside.
Austin stood before Naraku who now had enough strength to stand.
"Sesshomaru." Naraku said.
"Wrong!" Austin growled angrily and lunged at Naraku, but a tentacle wrapped around his throat coming from behind.
Austin let out a squeaky yelp as the tentacle severely cut off his air supply, and he was slung into another side of the walls, which didn't stand a chance, and fell around him.
'Austin...No' Maya thought, since she was too weakened to say anything out loud.
Then, another growl sounded, and Sesshomaru arrived in his dog form, Rin not far behind.
"Maya!" Rin rand to her daughter.
"I was hoping you would come later." Allia said sounding annoyed, and her eyes filled red, and her body grew, transforming into a huge moth, grabbing Sesshomaru's attention.
Sesshomaru had no choice but to get her off his back.
"Maya! Can you hear me? Austin!" Rin cried worriedly, glancing at Austin a few feet away, he lay in his dog form, unconscious.
Suddenly, Naraku stood before Rin and Maya.
'Mom...Run.' Maya thought weakly, but couldn't say aloud, as blood continued to rush down her neck.
" I was hoping for some full demon blood after Maya's. But you'll do." Naraku said, now powerful enough to release a tentacle and wrap it around Rin, and raise her up to him.
"Mom." Maya whispered weakly.
'Rin!' Sesshomaru turned his attention away from the moth demon.
"I am your opponent! Don't turn your back on me!" Allia said, swooping down to return Sesshomaru's attention on her.
Naraku smirked as he bit into the same place he had Maya, and was enjoying all the power he had returning to him.
Austin awoke, and the first thing he saw was Naraku biting into Rin. No... Not Maya, not Rin...Not... "MOM!" Austin pushed himself up and he lunged at Naraku, making the two fly out of the hole in the wall and outside.
Rin gasped as she pressed her hand against her neck, and pressed a part of her Kimono into Maya's still pulsing wound.
Rin noticed the Tensaiga just a little distant from them.
She reached over and grabbed the sword, out of harms way.
"Rin! Maya! Get out of here!" Sesshomaru growled as he continued to fight Allia who had many scratch marks and no wings.
"Come on Maya." Rin said as she put on of Maya's arms around her neck and they stood.
Rin hadn't been as injured as Maya had.
The two were stopped by Austin, who was being thrown back, by Naraku.
"Austin!" Rin cried out to him.
Austin tried to push himself up, but he was out of energy.
"You leave them alone!" Sesshomaru growled, abandoning Allia and lunged towards Naraku who was now inches before Rin and Maya.
"Come and get it!" Naraku smirked challengingly.
Suddenly, a bunch of tentacles released from Naraku, and enveloped Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru scratched and bit at the tentacles that enveloped his full dog form, but there were too many.
Soon, he grew weak of fighting, considering he had wasted most of his strength fighting Allia.
More and more tentacles continued to surround Sesshomaru, and soon, he was no longer visible, and he grew still.
"Sesshomaru!" Rin screamed.
Maya had healed a little and was beginning to gain strength, enough to scream, "Daddy!"
"Now, you will become a part of me." Naraku smirked as the tentacles began enclosing Sesshomaru, and little by little, the shape shrunk.
Maya and Rin stood there helpless.
Maya wished it was her, she wished it was her that was in that painful grasp, it was all her fault, she brought the Tensaiga here. What other reason would someone want a fantastic sword like her dad's other than to have more power?
Maya and Rin's tears fell as they watched the form stuck in the tentacle shrink.
He was gone.
Sesshomaru was gone.
Daddy was gone...
