Chapter 13
"No! No! Let me go I have to help him! Miroku!" Sango yelled as they tried to hold her back.
"He was protecting you…should you got back and die his fighting would have been for nothing." Sesshomaru told her.
"No…he didn't want to lose me…but that stupid idiot never thought about how I would feel if he left me!" Sango yelled as she broke out into tears.
Sango feel to the floor in tears as she let out all of her pain, grief and anger with her tears. She had never loved anyone as much as she loved Miroku and just the thought of losing him killed her inside. 'Miroku you idiot…if you die I'm going to follow you in death.' She thought sadly as she couldn't help but cry. 'I'll follow you just to kick your ass.' She was brought back and out of thought when she heard a voice say, "That will not bring him back dear…that will only sadden him."
"What the hell do you know!" Sango yelled in rage as she turned to face Yumi.
"I know that when you lose a loved one that dyed protecting you , you should live like they had fought for you to do. You shouldn't throw their sacrifice away." Yumi spoke as she walked over to her.
Hearing this only made Sango feel worse. Sango threw herself into Yumi's arms and cried. There was nothing else she could do as she waited for Miroku to come back to her or to be brought to her dead. Meanwhile Kagome slowly opened her eyes and found herself in an unfamiliar room. She quickly sensed for anyone that might be near her to find Sango's aura's dark and depressing. Without a second thought she jumped out of bed and ran to find Sango. When she finally reached her she ignored the shocked faces around her and said, "Sango…Sango what's going on? Where's Miroku? Where's Inuyasha?"
"They're…they're…oh god Kagome." Sango said as she then fell into her arms and cried.
"They're here and just find." A voice was heard.
Both Sango and Kagome turned to see Saya and Inuyasha walking in with a passed out Miroku. While Sango ran to Miroku's side Kagome froze as she made eye contact with Inuyasha. The two seemed to have lost all sense of reality as Inuyasha moved and wrapped his arms around her. Before she could say anything she heard Inuyasha say, "don't eve leave me again…mate."
"Mate?" she replied.
"We're mate's by blood." he answered.
"Kagome…we need you to listen to this." They heard Yumi's voice say.
"No, first I'm going to heal Miroku." Kagome said as she walked over to Sango and Miroku.
"He's just sleeping…Kagome he's alright." Sango said as her tears began to die down.
"I know, here I'm going to heal him…Sango are you hurt two?" Kagome asked.
"All I have is a cut on the head." Sango answered.
"Ok…Just hold on to Miroku and close your eyes." Kagome replied.
"Alright." Sango said.
Kagome began to glow a deep blue color as she began to heal the two of them easily. She was amazed that she had complete control and could from her miko energy to whatever shape she wanted it to be. Finally after healing the two she turned to the others that waited for her to finish and said, "Who's Naraku?"
"Naraku is the demon who is responsible for my daughter's death. He attacked the eastern lands months after you were born." Yumi answered.
"Can he change forms?" Kagome asked.
"Yes, that is why you must memorize each other's aura. That is the only thing he can not copy." Yumi explained.
"So what do we do now?" Sesshomaru asked.
"Now, I go and kill the bastard and get my lands back." Kagome hissed.
"You're not going alone." Yumi growled.
"I won't be…I have Sango, Miroku, and my mate…and that's all I'll need." Kagome said as she walked over to Inuyasha looked him in the eyes. 'It's time.' She told him with out words.
All Inuyasha did was nod before the two began to merge their auras so that it felt as if they were one giant one. Once that was done Kagome chose their new form and began to change. Everyone covered their eyes and the two were covered in a bright light, when the light dimmed they couldn't believe what stood before them. There for all to see was Kagome and Inuyasha standing hand in hand in what seemed to be a cross over between a inu-hanyou and an dragon hanyou. Kagome had long black hair with silver tips at the end and the same dog like ears Inuyasha had. However what gave away that they weren't regular hanyou's were the demon marking and the dragon like fans and claws they had obtained.
"Kinata?" Yumi whispered.
"No, she's the one that helped me…we'll be back and don't follow us." Kagome ordered as she and Inuyasha walked over to a waking Miroku and a relieved Sango.
"I wish to aid you." Saya was heard as she approached them.
"You can come but if we tell you to retreat and to come back here then you have to listen to us." Inuyasha growled as he helped Miroku up.
"Thanks inu." Miroku said as she began to get his strength back.
"Do you still feel drained?" Kagome asked.
"I understand." Saya replied.
"No, but thanks for the help." Miroku answered.
"When are we leaving?" Sango asked.
"Once you got your weapons and armor." Kagome answered before she turned to Yumi and asked, "Do you have the fan weapons?"
"How do you know about that?" Yumi replied.
"Kinata…may I please have them to fight?" Kagome asked.
"Zen!" Yumi called.
"Yes my queen?" the small dragon replied.
"Give my daughters weapons to this girl." She ordered.
"Thank you." Kagome said.
"How long will you be gone?" Lady Takahashi asked.
"I will be joining you as well brother." Sesshomaru said as he walked over to the small group.
Kagome suddenly felt dizzy and reached to hold onto Inuyasha. Inuyasha's quickly caught her and picked her up but before he could ask her what was wrong he was thrown back by the blast of miko power while the others were unable to move. Before anyone could try anything they heard a cold voice say, "Thank you Kikiyo…Kagome…my pet how dare you think you could beat me."
"You're welcome Naraku." Kikiyo was heard as she continued to drain Kagome of her miko powers.
"Let her go!" Sango yelled out in fury.
"Shut up!" Kikiyo ordered as she knocked Sango out with a powerful blast of miko energy.
"Sango!" Miroku yelled as he got ready to fight.
"Don't, you've just woken." Kagome was heard as she began to fight to keep her miko energy.
Naraku slowly walked over to Queen Yumi and graced the side of her face with his pam. Yumi tried to turn away but couldn't, just like the others she was unable to move. Kagome watched as Naraku began to place his filthy hand on her. 'Don't touch my mother!' Her inner dragon growled as it began to take control of her. Naraku placed his lips over Queen Yumi's and said, "you taste the same as you always have…sweet and bitter."
Naraku was forced to turn his attention to Kagome and Kikiyo when he heard a loud crash. Before he could even do anything he was thrown away from Queen Yumi as he heard an enraged dragon's voice say, "Stay away from my mother you bastard."
"so the dragon princess still lives within a hanyou child. Howe pathetic." Naraku growled as he got up. "But you wouldn't want to get the child killed now would you…Kinata?" he added as he took hold of her and held a dagger to her chest.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled as his aura began to darken and grow.
"Queen Yumi…you chose a dragon over me and now…now you will live in torment with the fact that I forced your only daughter to be mine." He growled in anger as the two were surrounded in miasma.
"Inuyasha!" was the last thing Kagome was heard yell out before the two disappeared.
"Saya transform! Miroku, Sango, Sesshomaru lets go!" Inuyasha roared as they all began to move.
Before anyone could stop him, Inuyasha took Kikiyo by the throat and threw her against the wall before taking hold of her again. Finally when he was unable to take the pain any more she yelled, "He's in her house! That's where his going to force her to be his!"
"Inuyasha we do not have time for this…we must go." His father said.
"I am going as well." Queen Yumi said.
"Stupid bitch…if I ever see you again I'll kill you." Inuyasha growled before he took off to go get Kagome back.
Inuyasha wasn't surprised when everyone but Rin and his mother joined them. They were all going to fight against Naraku and they were all going to fight to get Kagome back. Inuyasha could feel her trying to fight the sleep and he could feel her aura weaken the longer he took to get to her. 'Damn it Kagome…you better not let that bastard touch you.' He thought as he continued to run.
Kagome was surrounded in darkness and unsure of where she was. As she walked blindly in the darkness she could hear a familiar voice calling to her, telling her to wait for him. 'Inuyasha…where are you?' she thought as she fell to her knees and curled up into a small little ball. She had no idea that she how to fight back to get back to the one she loved.
