Flashback:
Kagome feel a pit a dread creep it's way into her stomach, it's was just like in the nightmare she had. 'No no this can't be happening.' She thought. Before Kagome could tell Sesshomaru that he was taking her with him. He pulled her into his arms and gave her a loving kiss. "Be safe my love. Stay with Sango while me and Miroku crush this threat." He said and zoomed off.
"SESSHHHHOMARU NO." She screamed.
Chapter28:A Life In The Balance/Hard Choices
(Miroku and Sango)
Miroku and Sango just made it to the gate that lead to the northern part of the castle when they heard a familiar voice scream know and their hearts skipped a beat knowing that it was Kagome's voice. As they opened the gate they instantly went into battle killing any demon that came at them and they were a force to be reckon with. (Kilala is in Kaede's village) Too bad she didn't bring Kilala with her to the western castle, but she had bigger things to worry about as she was charged by at least 12 demons. Sango unleashed her poison whip and did a spin like a pirouette and they all turn to ash.
Miroku took a quick look at Sango as she brought out her powers and tried it himself, but first he had to get rid of the demons that were surrounding him so he opened his wind tunnel and the sutra glowed brightly as he removed the beads. As the demon closed in and his wind tunnel opened. Something amazing happened, instead of the demons just getting sucked in, they were pulled. Hands of demons that had been trapped in the void of the wind tunnel came out and grabbed the demons around him and pulled them in and he closed the wind tunnel up once more. He was about to breath a sigh of relief but looked over at Sango and saw that she was about to be ambush by a big group of demons. 'It's now or never.' He thought as he took the moment to concentrate his new powers(He know he has powers because of the mating, but he doesn't know that he is a chaos vampire youkai) it took a few minutes but he felt the power flow through his body.
He held out his staff out in front of him and channeled the energy into it which was a bit challenging. His staff glowed purple, the head of his staff with the circle and the rings transformed into a cross with 3 spikes on each point and on the other end was a spears with spike as well. After the transformation was done he notice that the staff was shaking in a particular direction and realized that it was pulling him towards Sango. He didn't waste anytime as he head towards Sango who was death herself as brought demon after demon that came close to her. A dragon demon was closing in on her he took a sutra out of his robes and threw it at the dragon demon, as it was making it flight through the air, the sutra glowed purple and transformed into a arrow of holy energy and hit the demon dead in the forehead.
They looked around at the demons left and saw that they only made a small dent in their forces and it made them both angry, they knew they had to end this now to help Kagome. Lucky for Sango that most of the palace guards and staff had cleared the air for what she was about to do. She took out her katana and moved her finger across the blade(Think of Saya from Blood Plus) and let some of her blood drip onto the blade and the blade transformed. It turned red hummed with the power of it's master, it kind of of looked like Renji's sword from Bleach (Zambimaru). It's an attack she has been working on in secret from the others because of how powerful the attack was.
"Miroku please get back." She told him. She saw the questioning look in his eyes, but he nodded and moved back several feet away from Sango.
Sango felt the power gathered in her sword and she knew it was time to unleash the attack. "NOW ANNILIHATION." She screamed as she cut the air around them in a sweeping arc. thousands of red balls of energy went into the air and as they made their flight towards the demons, the red balls turned into large ninja throwing stars, the beautiful thing about this attack was that she had control over the direction the throwing stars went into. The drawback was that it used up a large portion of her demonic energy. Thank goodness that the demons were foolish enough to surround them so she spun with her swords and the throwing stars hit their mark and in a matter of minutes over half of the demon horde was killed.
(Kagome)
Kagome could feel Sango and Miroku and let out a sigh of relief at their auras and knew that they were okay, a little tired. But okay. She knew that their might be a great chance that her nightmare wouldn't come true, she prayed to the kami's that it would come true. She knew Sango and Miroku were close by and she tired something that she seen Sesshomaru do. She tried a mind link, she hoped it would work since Sango was brought into the Taisho clan through their blood which made her apart of this family.' .' She called in her mind hoping that her sister would hear her before it was too late.
(Sesshomaru)
Sesshomaru had just reached the northern courtyard, and nobody was there or so he though when he felt an aura a few feet behind him and before he could turn around he knew who it was."Naraku." He growled low and threatening as he eyes mixed with black and red to signify that both of his demon halves were out to play and Naraku was the prime target.
The next thing he heard evil laughter as he turned to look behind him and there Naraku stood. "Why Sesshomaru. You don't look very happy to see me." Naraku said slyly. Trying to get Sesshomaru worked up to make a mistake.
"SHUT YOUR MOUTH. YOU DISGUSTING PIECE OF FILTH." Sesshomaru roared at him as his aura rose and this aura was something he never felt before. It felt like Kagome's goddess powers as the part of his marks glowed and he was outlined in a aura of a strange color. It was mix of Kagome's powers, his vampire side and his taiyoukai side. "YOU WILL DIE THIS DAY. I PROMISE YOU. YOU WILL NEVER HAVE HER." As Sesshomaru threw his head back and let out a roar of death at Naraku.
"Ha ha ha. Oh you are so foolish. You will lose the battle before you win the war." Naraku taunted. What they others didn't know was that he had Kohaku and Kanna with him, cloaked so they wouldn't be seen or smelled by demons like Sesshomaru and Inu Taisho. Naraku send a telepathic message to them and he cut his eyes away from Sesshomaru for a moment to see them dart off to their destination. Once they were gone, he turned back to Sesshomaru and gave him a bone chilling smile.
(Inu Taisho and Kagura)
Inu Taisho and Kagura had just reached the northern courtyard of the castle as they witnessed Sesshomaru aura spike and Inu Taisho was a bit afraid and proud at his eldest awesome powers. 'Yes he is a true Taisho. Through and through.' He thought. But right now more important had to be dealt with like ridding the world of this evil. He turned to look at Kagura. " I need you to take me to where both of his hearts are being held." He told her and she nodded in answer. "They are in a underground room beneath his lair." She told him truthfully. Kagura knew she wouldn't be no match for all this high power out here on the soon to be battlefield , but she knew that there other ways that she could help them.
"Let Go" She said to Inu Taisho who was transforming into his dog form, but transformed back into his regular humanoid demon form.
Kagura was about to get out her feather when she heard a voice behind her. "DEATH SCAR." 4 lines of black energy shot towards her and Inu Taisho, he grabbed Kagura and dove out the way. When they dust clear, there stood Inuyasha. But human, he had a sadistic look on his face and a maddening smile. In his hand was Sensaiga and there was black mist surrounding the blade, radiating evil. "Hello father." He said with malice and then turned to Kagura." You will die with the rest of these traitors." Inuyasha said as he raised his sword to unleash another attack. "DEMONIC BARRAGE."Inuyasha shouted as shards of black diamonds sailed towards Inu Taisho and Kagura. She took at her fan ready to deflect the attack. "DANCE OF THE DRAGONS." Kagura countered canceling out Inuyasha's attack.
Inu Taisho knew that the more time they waste with him, the better chance Naraku has of winning. "Kagura you go to the lair and destroy his hearts." He said and turned to look at his once son. "I'll deal with him."
Kagura nodded and took off. Inu Taisho stood between Kagura and Inuyasha, so he wouldn't try anything. He looked upon Inuyasha and his heart broke to see how far his son has fallen. He really didn't want to kill him, but he will do what he must for the safety of the Taisho lined and the sake of the world, he prepare himself and drew Sou'unga. "Are we really going to do this Inuyasha?" Inu Taisho ask.
Inuyasha let his head roll back and let out a long laugh at Inu Taisho words and shot him a look. "What the fuck do you think. Old man?" He said as he charged Inu Taisho and their swords clashed.
(Sango and Miroku)
'Sango. Sango.'She thought she heard someone called her name at first she thought she might be going crazy until she heard it again. 'Sango. Sango.' She looked around her and Miroku and saw no one except the last of the demons who strangely enough wasn't attacking they were just watching them and almost creating a blockade so they couldn't get to the others.
Miroku noticed it too, like the demons just stopped on command. Like they were waiting for something. But that wasn't his main focus, he looked over at Sango who look like she was looking like she was searching for someone. "Sango what's wrong." He ask making his way over to her, but stopped when he felt a horrible pain in his chest and he look down to see a scythe sticking out from the middle of his chest. Miroku coughed up blood and gave Sango a smile before falling to the ground.
"MIRRROOOKU!" Sango shouted as she ran over to him, the scythe was attached to a chain and it was withdrew from his chest she looked up and saw her brother Kohaku holding the bloody scythe in his hand. Sango was hit with a emotions that she thought she wouldn't feel again: rage and it was for her once brother who had just struck down the man she loved and damn it by the kami's, if she couldn't save him. Then he was damn sure going to die today for what he has done.
(Kagome)
Kagome's heart clench as she felt Miroku's aura drop like a stone in a pond and also felt two more auras with her and she was left with a hard choice. Do she go to help her love or go and help her friends who also her family as much as Sesshomaru was. She didn't know and she felt like her head and her heart where in two different places, knowing either directions she go means that she could lose someone dear to her and even if they come out victorious in this fight. Their lives will forever be changed by these events and it won't all be for the better...
