Here is another chapter to end the weekend!
Enjoy readers!
Talia's POV
"You should have remained with Sesshomaru your wounds maybe almost healed but it would be safer to be with your mate" Ballerion suggested flapped his wings.
"I know but I'm worried for Inu he's still weak from our fight against Kagura and Kanna" I told the dragon. "I might be needed to fight"
"You have a point there it is a good thing you have wolf blood in you since your kind heals pretty quickly" Ballerion then made his descent and he landed outside of a hut.
I got off the dragon's back along with my swords before he reverted to his smaller form. The others weren around but they weren't at the hut at the moment. I went inside the house and Inu lay asleep on the straw. I felt my face turn red when I realized he was shirtless and he was wrapped up in bandages on his torso. As though he scented me Inu opened his eyes. Sango was sound asleep with Kirara next to her.
"Tal are you here?" he asked. Smiling I went over the injured hanyou and sat beside him. I placed a hand on his face.
"How are you feeling?" I asked Inuyasha.
"I hurt like hell but I've been worried sick about you as have the others" Inu tried to sit up but I growled and he sighed and stopped moving. "Miroku told me you were also hit by a Wind Scar"
"Yep that I was and it hurt like a bitch I might also add" I told Inuyasha. "But I'm fine now but you are still recovering it would be wise if we get attacked I fight"
"Heh my wounds will heal" Inuyasha said.
I merely shook my head at Inuyasha's stubbornness. Inu grunted before he closed his eyes and I decided to watch over him while he rested. He didn't need to know that I had actually died and was revived by Tensaiga. He didn't need that stress right now. Inuyasha slept for an hour while I kept watch; suddenly my nose caught a new scent. Then orbs of white light appeared in front of me and Inuyasha, and Kikyo's soul collectors slithered through the orbs and hovered in front of me and Inuyasha. Immediately Inuyasha opened his eyes.
"Soul Collectors" He said as the white snake like creatures turned around and went outside.
"Kikyo must be nearby" Inu grunted before he grabbed Tetsusaiga with one hand.
"Hold it Inu" I said placing a hand against his shoulder. "It isn't a good idea for you to go after her especially since she handed over more shards to Naraku"
"Yeah I know but I need to talk to her" Inuyasha said. "Tal help me"
"Alright but when Kagome finds out don't expect me to come to your rescue" I told my best friend as I wrapped his arm around my shoulder and helped him to his feet. He used his other hand to use Tetsusaiga as a cane and the two of us walked outside. Shippo was being held down by two soul collectors. However Inu was determined to see Kikyo and he and I slowly followed the soul collectors.
"These things are creepy" I said. Inu grunted as the he agreed with me. Suddenly Inu almost fell but I was able to catch him and I carefully led him down the hill. The soul collectors hovered over us before they headed in the direction of a tree. A white light shined and Kikyo appeared in the branches seconds later.
"Inuyasha"
Inuyasha's ears wiggled and he opened his eyes to look to Kikyo.
"Kikyo" He said as he struggled to stay standing.
"I see your still alive as is Talia good to see you again"
I didn't say anything, even though I didn't hate her, I was mad she handed over jewel shards to Naraku. I only replied with a nod while Inu demanded.
"I want answers Kikyo is it true you gave Naraku the shards of the sacred jewel you stole from Kagome?!"
"Yes I did to cast Naraku into oblivion" Kikyo answered.
"What do you mean by that?" I asked. "Naraku is a hell of a lot stronger now, strong enough he made two incarnations, Kagura of the Wind, and Kanna of the Void, and a third will follow"
"F**k" Inuyasha growled.
"So you are from another reality" Kikyo said getting my attention. "It explains how you know so much information"
"You wanted me dead most likely which is why you gave Naraku those shards" Inuyasha said.
"I would never allow that" Kikyo said. "Take heed both of you Naraku is our bitter enemy, and Talia you of all have the most hatred for him"
"Yeah no s**t" I snapped. "Why are you pointing this out to me?"
"Because at some point your hatred for Naraku might take control of you without you realizing it, as will I warn you now, like Inuyasha you are a half demon, dog demons and wolves value their friends and family, if something were to happen to either one, you might go into a frenzy"
My eyes went wide at this. Was it possible I could lose control of my demon and wolf side?
I mean I always had no issues with both sides; however I guess it was possible. Then Kagura's scent suddenly got my attention as did it with Kikyo's. Kagura's wind blew nearby and the damn incarnation appeared. She was about to attack until Kikyo shot a sacred arrow at her. Kikyo strung another arrow just as Kagura conjured her wind and she leapt into the air and was on her feather making her escape.
"Hmmph" was all I said.
"Talia take Inuyasha and leave" Kikyo said not looking at me.
"But Kikyo!" Inuyasha protested.
Her soul collectors then went to her and Kikyo glowed a purple aura before she was gone.
"Come on Inu let's get you back to the hut to rest" I told him. Inuyasha looked down in the dumps and all I could do to comfort him was press a kiss against his forehead.
"Thanks Tal" Inu said as I turned us around and we headed back to the hut. I was glad the hut wasn't that far and after a five minute walk, Kagome came running towards us.
"Talia your okay!" Kagome said seeing I was supporting Inuyasha. I flashed her a smirk before I finally made Inuyasha sit down for a second. Kagome hurried over to him and she bent down to her knees.
"You jerk!" She said and she grabbed his bangs. Inu grunted in pain and she let his bangs go.
"Sorry" she said. "You saw Kikyo didn't you?! It's written all over your face!"
"Talia!" I heard Shippo shout. I turned and Shippo leapt into the air and flew into my arms. "I thought you were dead"
"I'm still alive little one" I said before I ruffled the fox demons hair.
Inuyasha didn't answer Kagome's question and she said.
"You can't even look me in the eye just like always"
"Listen it wasn't some kind of tryst or anything"
"Oh come even I figured that out stupid"
Miroku and I only shook our heads. I tuned out the rest of the conversation until Kagome stood up and walked away.
"Inuyasha you need to be careful what you say around Kagome" I scolded him. "As I stated before Kagome is starting to develop feelings for you, hell I can even sense those feelings, and every time you go to see Kikyo, it really hurts her"
"It's not that simple Talia" Inuyasha said.
"I understand that but just try and think about Kagome as well, you may not realize it now, but eventually you will learn to love her" I then turned around and followed Kagome.
"Man your are fast "Kagome said as I came up to her side as we walked back to the hut.
"Half demon and half wolf" I told her. "Don't let Kikyo bother you right now Kagome, I know it's hard not to, but now isn't the time, we need to be on guard because Naraku's third incarnation will show up"
"Another one just how many of these things is Naraku creating?!" Kagome shouted. I winced because her shout made be wince.
"Sorry I forgot you have powerful hearing"
"Meh don't worry about girlfriend, I forgot how many incarnations Naraku has created"
"This is why I'm glad you're from a world where this one is fictional" Kagome stated. "By the way does anyone like me in your time?"
"Oh hell ya a lot of people adore you, your actually Irene's favorite character, she's a good friend of mine"
Kagome smiled at this.
"She sounds nice"
"Believe it or not she's mated to my other friend Peter who has the hots for Sango"
"Oh boy he sounds like another Miroku"
"Not even close, he doesn't go around asking random females to have his children, and he is loyal to the core to Irene, if Inuyasha could cross through the arch maybe it's a possibility you could"
"I would love to meet your family and friends I could use a break from my time and from Inuyasha"
Sango was awake by the time Kagome and I got back to the hut. She was glad to see I was alright and Kirara had hopped into my arms. Shippo was hanging with Miroku and Inuyasha.
"Hey kitty" I greeted Kirara as I began to stroke her head. The demon cat repeatedly meowed and I had a cute attack.
"Man my friends would love to meet Kirara" I told Sango and Kagome as I sat down with Kirara still in my arms.
"Sounds like your friends like this supposed manga and anime" Sango said.
Kagome had explained to Sango, Shippo, and Miroku where I was really from.
"Yep Kirara is well liked so you couldn't blame me for getting all gitty when Kirara acts cute"
Kirara purred her head against my chin as she did this. The boys returned a second later and Kagome turned away from Inuyasha. Miroku helped Inuyasha sit down and the monk began to undo the wrappings so he could check on Inu's wounds. I went over to Miroku and him with Inu.
"Damn you did really get beat up" I told Inu as I saw his injuries.
"Heh these wounds will heal in no time" Inuyasha said to me with a smirk.
I simply sweat dropped at his confidence. Miroku used Kagome's peroxide to clean Inu's wounds and I put new bandages on him. My face would turn red from time to time, because Inuyasha did have well built muscles.
"What are you blushing at Talia?" Inu suddenly asked as I finished tying the bandage on his arm.
"Drop it Inu" I growled.
"I think she finds your physical form attractive" Miroku added.
This earned Miroku a smack on the head and a yelp from him. Inu flashed me a teasing smirk and I shot him a death look back to not push it. Then both Inuyasha and I perked our heads up.
"What is it you two?" Miroku asked.
"The scent of a dead man" Inuyasha and I said in unison.
Miroku stood up as did I. The two of us left the hut to see a human man approaching us. Immediately I knew he was under Kagura's Dance of the Dead. Inuyasha came out behind me.
"A demon has come it has devoured the entire village"
Kagome helped bring Sango out just as the human said the demon had a spider mark on its back. The man then fell to the ground and a second later he was lifeless.
"Has that man been dead the whole time?" Kagome inquired.
"Yep Kagura knows we're here" I told the others turning to them. "That was her Dance of the Dead so it might be a good idea and get the hell out of here"
"And kill this demon" Inuyasha added.
"Not a good idea Inu" I told him.
"But Tal!" Inu began to argue.
I sighed realizing arguing with Inuyasha would be pointless. So it was settled we all gathered our stuff and we left the hut heading towards the village. Inuyasha had his dark white undershirt on him; Ballerion was rode on my shoulder as we walked. The walk to the village took less than five minutes; we all looked around looking for the demon. A second later purple skin got my attention and I saw Goshinki. Inu and I hurried and Inu swung Tetsusaiga at him while I held So'unga in my hand and stood in front of the children Goshinki was about to eat.
"Get outta here" Inuyasha said to the two siblings. The brother took his sister into his arms and they fled.
"Damn your ugly" I told Ghoshinki.
"You must Naraku's third incarnation" Inuyasha added. Goshinki laughed and it sent shivers down my spine.
Ballerion flew off of my shoulder and became his true form behind me and Inuyasha.
"You're thinking I dodged the Tetsusaiga, you are surprised at my speed despite my enormous size"
"Inu he can read minds" I told the hanyou. Goshinki looked to me.
"What are you looking at you ugly m***er***ker?" I snapped at Goshinki. I then leapt into the air and was able to make a quick stab into Goshinki's face. Inu then did the same and swung Tetsusaiga forward but Goshinki leapt out of the way.
"Damn" I said as I landed back on the ground when Inu did as well. My eyes then went bug eyed as Goshinki was about to fall right on me and Inu, I quickly grabbed Inuyasha's hand just as Goshinki landed. Inuyasha grunted as I stood up. Goshinki taunted Inu and Inuyasha huffed before he jumped into the air ready to use Tetsusaiga again. However with his speed Goshinki got out of the way and he was near me. I hurriedly went to Inu's side again. Goshinki then swiped his claws at us and both Inuyasha and I were caught into it. We both went flying in the air and landed on the ground onto our backs.
"Inuyasha! Talia!" Kagome shouted.
Miroku was about to use the Wind Tunnel but the Saimyosho appeared. Ballerion roared and he flapped his wings and took flight. Goshinki turned to see the dragon flying towards him in a spiral dive. Goshinki then sped off and was then behind Ballerion. Goshinki sank his fangs into Ballerion's flank and the dragon roared in pain. However Ballerion wasn't ready to give up the fight, before he knew it, Goshinki had flames being spat at him, and this made Goshinki release Ballerion. Ballerion flew away from Goshinki however he was surrounded by fire and crashed into the ground in his smaller form. Kagome hurried over and scooped Ballerion into his arms.
"You're gonna pay for hurting Ballerion" I hissed at Goshinki.
Goshinki shook his head trying to find relieve from the burns Ballerion gave him. The demon then looked to me.
"You think you can defeat me little pup?"
I felt an anime vein come to my face.
"F**k you" I said. I then noticed the children from the stable were behind us.
"I thought I told you two to run" Inuyasha told them. Both Inuyasha and I noticed the two siblings held their parents clothes.
"Get out of danger you two" I told them. The brother and sister nodded and they fled just as Goshinki walked over to us. As usual his taunting was pissing me off.
"You have demon blood coursing through your veins but yet you take pity on humans"
"Get off our back!" Inuyasha roared. "I'll slice you in half!" Inuyasha roared as he held Tetsusaiga up. The wind around us began to blow and Inuyasha smirked when he saw the Wind Scar. Then he leapt into the air ready to attack. But Goshinki suddenly broke through the Wind Scar and Inuyasha threw Tetsusaiga forward. Goshinki sank his fangs into the fang and my eyes went wide watching this happen. The Tetsugaiga cracked and then it finally broke. Inuyasha had a shocked look on his face as did everyone else. Goshinki spat out Tetsusaiga's broken blade before he swung his claws forward. The claws struck Inuyasha and my best friend's shirt was ripped to shreds and new wounds opened. The hanyou was flying through the air backwards and he landed on the ground.
"INUYASHA!" I yelled. I hurried over to him and eyed his unconscious form. I dropped So'unga. As I did something inside me woke. Anger surged through me because of what Goshinki had done to injure Inuyasha as well as breaking Tetsusaiga. Also the anger I felt for Naraku sparked into intense hatred and flowed through my blood in waves.
Kagome's POV
My eyes went wide when I saw Talia's hair turning silver. Her ears became pointed and I realized she was transforming into her demon self. Her eyes became red and they held anger and blood thirst. Her claws were now sharp as knives and her two magenta stripes were jagged.
"I don't understand how is it you transformed into your demon form without the full moon?" Goshinki asked Talia.
Talia didn't say anything as she stood up and she ripped off her kimono leaving her in her black tank top and the rest of her black outfit. She then leapt into the air and she used her claws to slice off Goshinki's right arm. A second later Inuyasha was beside her. His face resembled hers, the same red eyes, the same jagged stripes.
"Is there something wrong Goshinki?" Talia taunted.
"I thought you were able to our minds" Inuyasha added.
What on earth has happened to these two?
They looked like they were in full demon mode.
"How is this possible that the two of you are able to possess demon abilities?"
"Heh how would we know that?" Inuyasha taunted.
"You should be less concerned about us and more concerned about judgment day" Talia finished. Goshinki glared at the two of them in surprise but then he stormed forward towards Talia and Inuyasha.
"I shall rip you two apart with my fangs half breeds!"
Talia sneered before she was the first to leap into the air and she opened her claws. She quickly sliced off Goshinki's other arm just Inuyasha had leapt into the air behind her.
"The demon blood that flows through our veins" Talia began.
"Silence!" Goshinki roared.
"Is unlike yours!" Inuyasha sneered.
"You half demons!"
"We're in a class of our own!" Inuyasha roared as he used his claws to swipe at Goshinki. A second later Goshiki's body broke apart and my eyes went wide.
Both Talia and Inuyasha landed onto their feet just as Goshinki's body fell all around us.
"Goshinki we enjoyed that" Talia finished.
Talia's POV
One minute all I remember was feeling the intense hatred and anger I felt after Inu got injured, the next I realized I was on my feet. I looked around and I saw Kagome with a shocked expression on her face.
"What the hell?" I said and I looked around. Goshinki's body was literally in shreds all around us. I then smelled blood and I looked to my hands. My eyes widened they were stained with Goshinki's blood, both of them on my claws. I then felt my ears and they were pointed. I was in my demon form!
"Talia" Kagome said and I turned to her. "Are you ok?"
"Yeah but I don't remember becoming my demon form"
She and I then looked to Inuyasha who was his demons self. His claws were soaked in blood as well. His eyes were red and they looked evil. He was looking at his claws.
"What happened to Inuyasha?" Kagome asked turning to me.
"Because of Tetsusaiga breaking Inu's demon blood woke up" I told her. "Apparently the need to protect Inuyasha as well as the anger I felt when Goshinki hurt him made me transform into my demon half as well"
"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked as she approached Inu. Inuyasha turned to her growling dangerously.
"Stay away from me" he told her. "I can't say what I'm going to do next"
Kagome however had no intention of staying away from Inu so she began to walk forward.
"Inuyasha please you destroyed the demon" Kagome said as she approached Inu.
"I said stay away!" Inu said to her. But Kagome only got closer to him and the others protested.
Inu glared at her unsure what to do.
"Inuyasha sit" Kagome said.
Inuyasha's beads lit up and he fell face first into the ground.
"Will you stop doing that?!" Inuyasha roared at Kagome as he lifted his head up. His face returned to normal. Kagome got to her knees and she then threw her arms around Inu.
"Thank goodness your back"
I smiled at she did that. Both she and Inuyasha blushed and Kagome hurriedly pulled away from Inuyasha.
Later.
We all were able to find a safe camping spot for the night so we could rest. Ballerion was asleep near the fire his flank had been patched up thanks to Kagome. My demon self was gone and I was now back to my usual self. Once we made camp I bathed so I could get rid of the smells of Goshinki and his blood. Kagome had told me my demon self emerged and like with Inuyasha I had no control over what I did, it turned out I cut off both of Goshinki's arms with my claws. Right now I sat by the side of the small lake I had bathed in. Ballerion sat in my lap and I thought of what Kikyo had told me. If something were to happen to those I cared for I might go into a frenzy, so she had been right. I had gone into the same killing frenzy as Inuyasha went through.
"Hey" Inuyasha's voice broke my train of thought. I turned to see my best friend walking over and he sat next to me a second later.
"You're still thinking about what happened huh?"
He was back in his robes, only he wouldn't have an undershirt for awhile.
"Yeah the only thing I can remember was feeling a lot of hate and anger before I lost control of myself"
"Probably seeing me hurt triggered it" Inuyasha added. "Kikyo said you might go into a frenzy"
"She was right" I then closed my hand into a fist. "I don't want it to happen again"
"You don't know that Tal" Inu said as he placed an arm around me and brought me into his side. "But you can count on me to help you if you need control"
"As you will have the same from me" I told Inuyasha. "The reason your demon half woke up was because of Tetsusaiga, the whole reason it was given to you was to seal off your demon half, you see since you are both demon and human, both sides need balance, however when Tetsusaiga broke it threw the balance off and that's what made you go into your own killing frenzy"
Inuyasha only nodded. He then had a worried look on his face.
"What is it?" I asked him.
"Talia if I transform again I want you to stay away"
"F**k that" I said. "I ain't doing that I never once left you to fight your battles alone and I sure as hell won't do it now Inu, your very important to me and I would give my life to protect yours"
"As I will do the same with you pack mate" Inuyasha said as he kissed my forehead. "I will never leave your side when it comes to you suffering"
I simply chuckled and both of us gazed at the stars in the night sky for awhile before heading back to the others.
0.0
If you thought demon inuyasha was scary, imagine two demons going into a killing frenzy!
