Chapter 20: The First Act Of An Conspiracy
Disclaimer: I am going to be rewriting this story all over, so I hope you enjoy the improve one a little more than this one. I will still be working on this one too, but the other one will be a little different story and a little bit more confusing.
''We do not have much time before they come and begin to search for us.'' Ryura frowned as he turned toward Kagero and freed her hands from there binds.
''I don't understand.'' Kagero frowned at him puzzled as he warmly smiled at her.
''You need to hurry and leave this place, for it will become a battlefield soon. If they are to find you, you must do exactly as I say.'' he stated as Kagero only got more confused.
''I don't understand, why are you helping me?'' Kagero questioned as Ryura began to dangerously stare about them.
''Revenge.'' he flatly stated as Kagero frowned in curiosity.
''There is no time for me to explain, but if you travel just a little ways further to the North, you will come across two thunder yokai who are going to take you the rest of the way to Lord Prince Sesshomaru and Naraku. If those two idiots were able to followed my instructions properly.'' Ryura stated as he began to dislevel and tear at his armor.
''What are you doing to yourself?'' Kagero questioned as Ryura unstealthed both of his swords, each resting on either side of his hips.
If his brothers found out that he had betrayed them he would not hear the end on it and they would turn on him. So he had to make it appear that he had got into an altercation with someone and Kagero was stolen from him by the said person.
Suddenly and unexpectedly Ryura appeared in front of Kagero, blocking a glowing black sword that was about to severe her head.
''Jiru!'' Ryura angrily spat as the Inu yokai before bitterly smirked.
Damn! He was not who I was expecting!
Ryura frowned as the yokai known as Jiru smiled as he hovered upside down in the air with his blade still against Ryura's.
''I knew you were a traitor, Ryura and that is why Yura had me follow and watch your every move.'' he smirked as Ryura glared at him.
''Go now!'' Ryura commanded as Kagero stared between the two before hastily running off in toward the direction Ryura had told her.
''She won't get far! Yura made it clear that she wants her and the rest of the Shitoshin dead!'' he chuckled as he turned slightly bring his sword down in Kagero's retreating direction which caused a black creature of some kind to follow after her.
''Earth Dragon Gale!'' Ryura yelled as he turned in the same direction also swinging sword down so that a spiraling dome of wind imprisoned the black creature in what resembled a purple barrier created from wind compressed together rather a barrier generated by Ryura's Yoki, which resulted in the creature slowly beginning to dissipate.
''You just aren't going to make things any easier for me Ryura, are you?'' Jiru smiled with a dark gleam in his cold amber eyes as Ryura fiercely glared at him.
This is not good, hurry Lord Prince Sesshomaru!
Ryura frowned as he worriedly stared in the direction that Kagero once was
''Worried about that girl, are we? Well, you should be!'' Jiru snapped as he swung his sword down in the direction of Ryura's head.
*O*O*O*
Kyora eyes snapped opened as Jura hurried to his feet.
''Do you feel that?'' Kyora questioned as Jura glared at the land where Ryura took Kagero a few moments ago.
''Yeah, it's Ryura and he fighting Kojirou!'' Jura growled through clenched teeth.
''If he's battling against Kojirou, doesn't that mean Horaijima's in trouble too?'' Kyora questioned as Jura and Gora became very uneasy.
''Gora, you go back to the island and save the children while the two of us go and aid Ryura against this act of treason against the sons of the Eastern Lands.'' Jura snapped as he and Kyora flew in the direction of where they last saw Ryura heading in.
*O*O*O*
Kagero raced through the forest until she came upon two individuals surrounded by tons of dead animal bodies. One of the individuals appeared to be 10-year-old albino child dressed in a white dress with ghostly white pale skin, doll-like black eyes and ghostly snow white long lower back hair. The other person appeared to be a 17-year-old woman with fair skin, black hair tied in a ponytail with a feather sticking out of it and almond shaped red eyes.
She wears a traditional kimono of the Kagura dancers which is a blue robe with a floral pattern, her obi is much slimmer and is tied by the front instead of back. Her obi is in a yellow patterned style, with both versions of her outfit. She also wears a pair of bright green beaded earrings, each bearing five beads and a feather on each end and she held a fan in her right hand.
Both of the individuals were completely barefooted and they appeared to be waiting for someone. Kagero smiled as she slowly began to approach them.
These must be the two thunder yokai that Ryura told me about.
Kagero thought as the the girl with the fan turned and smiled at her over her left shoulder.
''Ah, you must be Kagero, the girl Yura told our masters about.'' Kagura smirked as the albino girl flatly stated. ''Kagura, we are not to harm her. We are only to render her unconscious and then take her back to them,''
''Yeah, yeah, yeah, Kanna I know what they asked of us. I do not know why they sent you along with me I can handle this mission by myself.'' Kagura devilishly smirked as she flicked her fan up and the dead corpses rose as if they were puppets.
''Dance of the Dead!'' Kagura smiled as she twirled her fan about in every direction.
The slain corpses began to slowly surround Kagero and fear consumed every inch of her of body, mind and spirit. Kagero was utterly and completely shaking up, her heart was rapidly beating and her knees were buckling. She had spent many years inside of a Dojo only to find it completely useless here in the Feudal realm.
Suddenly lightning bolt fired from the sky and incinerated the corpses bodies. Then an intense yellow blast also rain down from the sky landing directly between Kagero and the two girls, creating a large crater and setting anything within the vicinity to burst into flames.
''Kagura, she is currently not within our reach. We must retreat before he gets here.'' Kanna stated as Kagura scoffed.
''Fine, but I'm not explaining this failure to them.'' Kagura snapped as they disappeared into a black vortex that suddenly appeared behind the two of them.
Kagero was so shaken up from those two women and the mysterious bolts of lightning and the yellow blast that she fainted into another pair of clawed hands.
''Brother, is she dead?'' a voice questioned as it tightly held onto her.
''Nah, she just unconscious.'' another more masculine voice declared as he towered over her.
''What do we do now, brother?'' the other questioned as his brother smirked.
''Why, we take her to her Prince, after all he is searching for her, isn't he?! a wicked grin form spread across his devilish handsome face.
