Invading Hadjinn's Palace: Part 2
An angry Sesshomaru stormed through the woods heading back to the palace of that retched demon that had kidnapped Kaname, imprisoned Michiru, and had the gall to throw him out of a seven story window! Now he was going to pay!
"Erm, Lord Sesshomaru?" Jaken squeaked out.
"Shut up, Jaken!" Sesshomaru barked harshly. "I'm in no mood for conversation!"
Jaken shut up. He was going to ask what the plan was, but knowing his master, he figured the plan was leap right in and find a way to kill Hadjinn by force.
I only hope it works... Jaken thought to himself. Hadjinn was a foe that was virtually immortal, it might take a lot to find another weakness in him. But if anybody could do it, it was Lord Sesshomaru.
-
In the dungeons of Hadjinn's manor, the Shikiga rested in the hand of a sleeping Michiru Kururugi which meant that in his dreams, Michiru was about to have a conversation with InuTaisho himself.
"Ugh, my head..." Michiru in his dream complained looking around at the surroundings. "This place...it looks like the place where I had that conversation with InuTaisho."
"It is." The voice of InuTaisho spoke from behind.
"So I'm asleep with the Shikiga in my hand again," Michiru deduced when suddenly a thought occurred to him, "Then I lost the battle with Hadjinn!"
"Yes," InuTaisho replied. "You lost the fight. As good as the plan you had lost, it failed due to that monk's perversion when he saw your sister, Kagome, and your wife in the nude."
"S-S-Sango," Michiru remembered with a gasp, "Is she alright?!"
"She's fine Michiru, but she's back under Hadjinn's spell." InuTaisho explained, "She's going to be at his side for the ceremony tomorrow morning."
"Ceremony?" Michiru asked, "What ceremony?"
"Your execution." InuTaisho explained. "She's going to watch as Hadjinn hangs you by a tree with a hypnotic smile on her face."
"And you're here to help me stop that from happening?" Michiru asked hopefully.
"Yes," InuTaisho replied. "I'm here to help you. When you chopped off one of Hadjinn's heads before three more grew back, I noticed something you should know about. Something you have the power to exploit," InuTaisho explained, "And so can my son, Sesshomaru..."
-
"There's that bastard's castle!" InuYasha cussed atop of Kirara's back as the sun began to rise, "I'm taking him out once and for all, even if I have to spend my entire life chopping off all of his heads!"
Drawing his Tetsusaiga, InuYasha glowered as the massive fang began to grow.
"The time for fancy strategies is over!" He declared. "Now it's time we go old school!"
Seeing a handman's noose in a tree in a garden, along with an ax on a stone, InuYasha assumed that this was where Hadjinn was planning on doing away with his friends.
"Gotta find a place ot hide until the opportune moment." InuYasha deduced perching in a well-concealed treetop. "Once Michiru and that bastard appear in this courtyard, THEN it will be time to strike!"
So InuYasha sat in his hiding place as the sun continued to rise...
-
In his bedroom, Hadjinn awoke. It was dawn, and thus time for the execution to begin. He got out of bed, all of his heads shivering in anticipation. The last things that threatened his living in Japan were about to be taken care of, and soon his plan to take over Japan would come to the fore.
"By the time I'm done taking over, people won't even remember who Naraku wassss! The thingsssss I plan to do with thesssse humanssss will make Naraku sssssseem like a mere ssssschoolyard bully!" Hadjinn hissed to himself.
He had plans to invade every village in Japan armed with his hypnosis powers. He planned to enslave every beautiful woman in Japan and force the men to work non-stop keeping them alive only for the purposes of work and breeding. He would be dining on the loveliest human flesh while demanding human sacrifices from every village. Sacrifices of babies for him to eat. It was a most sinister plan.
"And with Michiru and that monk out of my way, it will come to passsss!" Hadjinn gloated. "Oh, Fathhhhher, you would be sssso proud of me!"
Remembering how his father was sucked in by the monk's father so many years ago, Hadjinn was also ecstatic about the thought of revenge.
"Well, I guessss it'ssss time to get my sssslavessss." Hadjinn spoke leaving for the bathhouse where he had ordered Kaname, Kagome, and Sango the previous night. Once there his smiled at the sight of his naked love-slaves still sleeping together. Admiring how their skin pressed against each other, and how their lovely bosoms collided for a second, he cleared his throats.
"Good morning my sssslavesss." He whispered, "It'sss time to get up."
Stirring awake, the trio of nude beauties rubbed their eyes and smiled at the sight of Hadjinn in their presence.
"Good morning, Master." Kagome spoke.
"How may we please you?" Sango spoke.
"Get dressssed, all three of you, and head for the garden." Hadjinn ordered, "We'll sssstart the morning with the exxxxecution of the one that threatened to take you all from me. I'm ssssure you wish to see that, don't you?"
Kaname nodded.
"Of course, Master." She answered, "Anybody who would try to separate us from the one we love with all our hearts, and plans to take away our own pleasurable deaths from us deserves to die in a most cruel way."
"I'm glad you feel that way," Hadjinn smiled, "Now get dressssssed."
Kagome rose from the water, dried herself off, and put her green thong and sarong back on her rear, put her gold bikini top back on, put on her veil, all of her jewelry, and did her hair back in its ponytail, and put her emerald in her navel. While Kaname put her own thong and see-through pants back on along with the Shikigami pentagrams on her chest, and put her ruby in her navel. Sango put her pink bikini top on with her see-through green pants and black thong along with the black pearl in her navel.
"We're ready now, Master." The three girls spoke.
"I can ssssee that." Hadjinn spoke. "Now let ussss get the prisssoner."
Following Hadjinn through the dungeon, they passed by a sleeping Shippo until they came to a stop at Michiru's cell. He was awake now with a worried look on his face as he observed Sango under a spell and in an outfit that marked her as a slave.
"Ahhh, awake for your exxxxecution I sssee," Hadjinn observed looking above Michiru's head, "And your ssssword sssstill out of your reach. That'ssss to bad. You might have been able to esssscape if you had it." Then Hadjinn noticed where Michiru was looking at, "Ah, do you like how I've decked out SSSSango here?"
"That'sss my wife!" Michiru hissed out to taunt Hadjinn. "I swear I'll kill you for this!"
"Oh, your wife issss perfectly happy with me now," Hadjinn smirked, "In fact, she'sss happier with me than she'ssss ever been with you."
Hadjinn turned to Sango.
"SSSSlave, show this ssssstranger what he meanssss to you sssssince he wishes to take you from me." Hadjinn ordered.
Sango walked over to her husband with a look of fury on her face as she made a nasal sound in her throat, and opened her mouth letting a massive wad of mucus and saliva out of her mouth that hit Michiru right in the eye. Then she reached through the cell with an open hand and slapped Michiru right across the face with all her anger, strength, and hatred.
"You bastard!" She roared out at Michiru hatefully as she returned to Hadjinn's side passionately kissing one of his heads.
"You ssssee, boy?" Hadjinn gloated enjoying the feel of her lips, "You mean nothing to her now! I am everything to her now." Smiling in a taunting manner, he continued with, "In fact, you might sssssay this exxxxecution issss a good thing for you. For ssssoon you'll be free of your heartbreak and pain."
"It is you who will die today, serpent!" Michiru barked back.
"We shall sssssee..." Hadjinn replied turning to the prison guards. "Bring the prisoner to the garden!"
Two guards came as they put a leash on Michiru's neck escorting him to the garden and the execution area. Hadjinn and the three girls were already there feasting on fruit.
"The prisoner is here, my lord." The guard spoke.
"Exxxxcellent!" Hadjinn admired. "Put his neck in the noosssse!"
"I don't think so!" A voice cried out from the treetops.
"Huh?" Hadjinn spoke as a familiar canine half-demon in red leaped from the trees. His large sword in his hands as he held it in the sun!
"InuYasha!" Michiru exclaimed as suddenly, to the shock of Hadjinn and his slaves, drew out his own sword, the Shikiga from the folds of his clothing, "Am I glad to see you!"
"Heh! Like you could keep me away!" Inuyasha gloated.
"Th-th-that sword...!" Hadjinn studdered, "But...but...but...it was sssstill in your cccccell, out of your reach! I saw it in there mysssself!"
"No, you're mistaken," a younger voice cried out as everyone turned to see the young fox-demon, Shippo arrive on the scene.
"You!" Hadjinn cried out.
"What you saw was me in disguise!" Shippo declared.
"But you were in your cell sleeping!" Hadjinn protested.
"Oh, that?" Shippo asked. "Just one of my doppengangers. Oh, and speaking of doppelgangers..."
The two guards that were at the side of Michiru suddenly burst into smoke and disappeared right before everyone's eyes!
"You...you...you troublemakerssss!" Hadjinn roared, "I'm going to kill you a-"
"HADJINN!" A voice boomed from the outskirt forests.
"Uh-oh..." Shippo taunted at Hadjinn,
"Sound like someone's not in a good mood..." Michiru taunted as well as the full-demon form of Sesshomaru burst from the scene glowering furiously at Hadjinn.
Hadjinn looked at his four opponents for awhile and then laughed.
"Foolssss!" He gloated, "There'sss no usssse in attacking me again! You plan didn't work lassst time, what makessss you think it will work thissss time? Esssspecccially sinccce I will ssssee all your movessss coming!"
"We're not using the same plan!" Shippo declared as he drew out his chakram hurling it with all his strength at the nearest neck that was positioned near Michiru. It grew in size just as his top did and sliced the head clean off!
Hadjinn only laughed at this.
"You desssperate imbecilessss!" He laughed, "Did you forget that three heads grow back every time one of my heads is chopped off?"
"Not this time, Hadjinn!" Michiru declared drawing his Shikiga above the dead stump of one of Hadjinn's many necks. "Shikiga! Help me! Restore life to this stump!"
"Huh?" Inuyasha asked, "R-R-Restore life...?"
"In invoke the power of the TENSEIGA!" Michiru cried out to everyone's shock as he waved his sword, channeled with the life-giving power of the Tenseiga he inherited from Sesshomaru's inherited blade, over the dead stump restoring life to it.
"Are you mad?!" Inuyasha cried, "We're trying to kill him! Not give life to h-"
But his words were cut off as he saw the stump thrashing about, but for some reason three heads weren't growing in its place!
"What?" Hadjinn spoke, "I-I-Imposssssible! I should have three more headssss here! I alwaysssss grow three more headsssss in the place of a neck that gets sssssevered off!"
"No, Hadjinn," Michiru answered, "You see, in Greek Mythology, the Hydra had several mortal necks that always grew back when they were severed off, but it had one immortal head whose neck didn't grow back when Hercules chopped it off and buried it under a rock. In order for you to grow three heads in the place of the one you lost, the stump of your neck has to be dead. But, if for some reason the stump is still alive..."
"...then it can't regenerate or grow back!" Inuyasha declared.
"Exactly!" Michiru answered, "So go, Inuyasha! Help Shippo chop off all of Hadjinn's heads!"
Drawing his Tetsusaiga, Inuyasha grinned, "It would be my pleasure! Wind Scar Barrage!"
The chakram came at Hadjinn severing off several heads from the right while a barrage of disturbances in the ground began blowing off more heads from the left!
"NOOOO!" Hadjin cried as Michiru's blade glowed once more with the power of Tenseiga.
"Sesshomaru!" Michiru cried out to his ally, "I know you want revenge, but I need your help here! Use your inheritance! Work with me to use your Tenseiga to destroy Hadjinn's ability to regenerate himself!"
Sesshomaru's giant canine form looked at Michiru for a moment, then reverted back to his human-resembling form while drawing his own blade, the legendary Tenseiga, and combined with Michiru they began waving the power of their two swords over the stumps of heads that Shippo and Inuyasha severed off of Hadjinn's body while the four successfully evaded Hadjinn's bites and thrusts of his other heads that all got blow or chopped off.
Finally, only one of Hadjinn's head remained standing as it hissed hatefully at the four executioners. It tried to revive the other stumps, but it was to no avail. The boy had discovered a weakness that even Hadjinn didn't even know he had, and it was costing him his life!
Suddenly he remembered his captives and brought his claws to their throats.
"Not ssso fasssst!" He hissed out as Inuyasha was about to leap and sever off his last head. "None of your move, or your loved ones die!"
"Foul demon!" The voice of Miroku cried from behind him. "Take that!"
Suddenly, Hadjinn felt a painful sting on his back. It was one of Miroku's sutras that had hit him subjecting him to pain and anguish that made him lose focus on his prisoners enough for Inuyasha to lay the final blow upon Hadjinn's final head.
"NOOOOOOOOO!" Hadjinn cried out just before Inuyasha's blade made contact with the final throat followed by Michiru and Sesshomaru waving the power of Tenseiga over it keeping it alive and ensuring that it would never grow back again.
Seeing the headless body of Hadjinn thrashing about, the others thought about what to do next.
"He's still alive," Shippo observed.
"Not for long," Michiru replied, "Without a head, he can't eat, drink, or even breathe. He has neither a mouth or nose. Even if he could breathe through those stumps of his neck, he doesn't have a brain to do that."
"So Hadjinn will die of suffocation," Jaken observed.
"Yes. A fitting end for such a vile creature," Michiru baled hatefully as the body of Hadjinn gasped for air but was unable to get it.
"You!" The voices of Kagome, Kaname, and Sango cried out, "You all killed our master! Now we're going to kill-"
"Oh, be quiet!" Shippo cried out popping all three of them on the noggins!
"Shippo!" Everyone cried.
"What? It will wake them up like it did the last time I did it to them!" Shippo explained.
Shaking his head at how silly Shippo could be, even as an adult, Inuyasha made his way to Kagome, Michiru to Sango, and Sesshomaru tended to Kaname.
"Ohhh, my head..." Kagome grumbled looking up, "I-I-Inuyasha..."
"It's okay, Kagome," Inuyasha whispered, "It's over now. Hadjinn is about to die."
Stirring, Sango opened her eyes, "M-M-Michiru...?"
"I'm here, my love," Michiru nodded, "I'm always here for you."
Blinking her eyes, Kaname looked up at the one who held her, "Oh, it's you...Sesshomaru."
"Hmmm." Sesshomaru grumbled out as he helped Kaname to her feet.
"Well, everyone's safe and sound now," Shippo proclaimed, "Well, all except for Hadjinn, that is!"
Everyone laughed as the watched the headless remains of Hadjinn jerk around for a minute more until finally, it slowly began to fall to the ground and twitched for the last time, and the all movement ceased and the body decayed to dust in front of him.
"Well, the plan you came up with in that prison worked, Michiru," Shippo said, "He's dead."
"And good-riddance!" Kagome declared. "I can't believe he forced me to wear something like that and...and...and made me kiss Sango!"
"What?" Michiru spoke.
"WHAT?!" Miroku cried out, blood oozing from his nose, "Oh, please! Tell us mor-"
Sango smacked Miroku across the cheek.
"You know, I preferred it when he took that whole 'vow of silence' thing," Kaname grumbled annoyingly.
"You said it," Kagome grumbled in agreement.
"Hmmm? Vow of silence?" Sango asked, "What do you mean?"
Everyone went to explain how Naraku forced that witch that cursed Miroku before to make him tell lie after lie until just one more lie would kill him, and how Miroku had agreed not to casually speak lest he risk telling a lie that would kill him. By the time they were finished, they all got up.
"I think it's time we snapped the other girls out of their trances," Shippo suggested, "Then we need to get back to the Well and send Sango back to the Modern Era. She's still pregnant, and not fit for battle, after all."
"Yes," Sango replied stroking her belly, "Yes, you're right, Shippo," she then let out a tear that was a cross between a happy and a sad one, "I'm so glad I didn't give birth under Hadjinn's control. He...he...he was going to eat my baby!"
Everyone comforted the sobbing Slayer to the best of their ability before setting back inside to snap everyone out of their trances, as they made their way inside, Inuyasha went to Michiru.
"Hey, Michiru," Inuyasha spoke, "Would you mind telling em something?"
"Yes?" Michiru asked.
"Just how DID you know that using the Tenseiga on Hadjinn's necks, after they were severed, woudl stop them from growing. That the necks needed to be dead to regenerate, and couldn't if they were still alive?" Inuyasha asked.
"Oh, that?" Michiru asked, "Someone who observed the fight told me."
"Who?" Inuyasha asked.
"Oh, nobody important in the here-and-now," Michiru replied, "Just your father, InuTaisho."
At this, Sesshomaru and Inuyasha turned to Michiru in shock upon hearing this name.
"What?!" The both cried out!
