Zero
Chapter five ~ Tiger's Blood
Zero extended her claws and started digging in the goo for her friend. If she didn't hurry he would suffocate. "What do you think that you are all doing?" She yelled at everybody. They were just standing there in shock. But when Zero yelled they snapped out of it.
"I am going to suck this. . . thing. . . into oblivion!" Miroku grabbed his covered hand and uncovered it, including the rosary. " Brace yourselves!" He cried out just before the hellhole was opened.
The shadow had no idea what was going on and stood still, watching as the monk uncovered his hand. Suddenly it saw everything around it being pulled toward the monk's hand and into it. It felt no pull though.
"Bwahahahaha!" The shadow started laughing.
"It's not working!" Miroku yelled.
"You mortals are such fools!" It laughed, "I am a shadow! I can not be pulled into your vortex because I am not a solid!"
"But I felt your slime! And it is on Inu-Yasha!" Zero cried.
"Bwahahahahaha! I have the power to change from a shadow to a slime!"
"Dang it!" Miroku closed the hellhole.
"Sango, you are an exterminator, how do we finish off a demon like this?" Kagome asked.
"Shadow demons shouldn't have the power to become a slime. He must be using the Shikon Shard for that. . . I don't know. . ."
"Great where's Myoga when you need him?" Kagome wondered.
"Probably ran away awhile ago." Shippo said, and Kagome had to agree. That would be just like him.
Zero had just gotten all of the slime off of Inu-Yasha and she knelt beside him, his eyes were closed. She put her ear to his chest, he was still breathing. He was only unconscious. She took a deep breath and thanked her lucky stars he wasn't dead. Zero noticed that he was slowly opening his eyes. She leaned over him, "Inu-Yasha? You okay?"
Inu-Yasha's eyes slowly opened and there was a strange blackness on the edges of his vision. He could see Zero staring down at him. Words seemed to come from her mouth, but they were so far away he could not understand them. Inu-Yasha's body was completely numb. He couldn't feel his fingers, toes, or any other part of his body. He tried to groan, but his voice was not working.
"Inu-Yasha?" The words came from her mouth and very slowly reached his ears. (It was like those old bad Japanese movies where they move their mouths and then the sound comes a few seconds later.) Her eyes looked so worried. He wanted to tell her that he was okay, but then he sat up. What was he doing? He didn't tell his body to do that! What was going on? He stood up. He moved his face away from Zero. It was as if his body was looking for something.
"Inu-Yasha, are you all right?" Zero asked him. He turned around and smiled at her. He knelt down and picked up the Tetsiaga. The sword transformed into the Steal Fang. He held it up and pointed it at Zero. What was he doing? He had to stop it! He had to control himself. But he couldn't his body was acting on its own. He pointed the Fang into her throat.
Zero looked up at Inu-Yasha, she was scared. What had happened to Inu- Yasha? This wasn't him. She looked into his pupilless eyes. They were so cold. She shivered. He smiled at her but then the smile vanished from his lips and he dropped his sword from her throat and brought it to his side. He obviously wasn't after her. He turned and walked away from her.
Zero saw everyone fighting the demon; so far it looked like the shadow was winning. Sango threw her boomerang bone over and over, it looked like she was trying to keep him occupied while the others went and surprised him with as attack on the other side. Miroku snuck up behind him. He was in slime form, good. He grabbed his hand and was ready to pull the rosary off of his arm when suddenly the shadow turned around. It looked at Miroku and seemed to smile at him. "So, planing to suck me in while I am a slime, huh? Nice try, but let's bring your fear to reality." It waved his hand in Miroku's face, "Ah, I see your fear. I'll let you see it now, too."
"Miroku!" Sango cried, "Boomerang Bone!" The demon was sliced in half, but to slow.
Slime went into Miroku's eyes. He tried to clean them and slowly got the slime out. Pain shot out in his hand he looked at it and saw the hellhole getting wider. It was engulfing his palm and it didn't stop there. He had to do something. It was going to swallow him up, and he hasn't gotten his revenge on Naraku and he was without an heir. He started yelling, but didn't notice. He was too preoccupied with his hand. What would he do? Just die? Like all of his ancestors up until his grandfather?
Sango watched in horror as Miroku was taken over by the hellhole. She didn't even notice as the shadow waved its hand in front of her face.
"Oh, I see your fear. You are afraid of loosing the monk. That works out nice." It watched as Sango fell to her knees and tears streamed down her face. She started shaking violently and screaming bloody murder. "Now let's see how Inu-Yasha's doing."
Kagome watched as her two friends were being destroyed, physically and mentally. She started shaking. It was the worst thing that she had ever seen. Suddenly a force knocked into her and pushed her to the ground. Kagome saw the Tetsiaga next to her shoulder; whatever knocked her out of the way just saved her life. She looked to her other side to see Zero. The cat-demon quickly stood up and grabbed her arm. Kagome looked up to see who wielding the sword. She looked up to see a smiling Inu-Yasha. Why was he attacking her? The shadow's words repeated themselves in her head, 'You fear losing her just like you did the other that looks like her. But you fear killing her with your own hands more than someone else's. Watch, as your fear becomes reality!'
But before she had time to think it over, Zero grabbed her hand and pulled her away from Inu-Yasha who was already bringing the Tetsiaga back up. Zero ran as fast as she could to get away from the dog demon.
When they got far enough from Inu-Yasha to stop running for a while Kagome asked a question, "Why did you save me? I thought that you hated me."
"Don't get the wrong idea. I don't like any mortal, especially you. I just can't let Inu-Yasha's worst fear come true. He would never forgive me."
"That isn't Inu-Yasha, is it?"
"No, he is being controlled." She looked sad, "Just like all of those years ago. . ."
Kagome didn't know what to say, she didn't know hat what had happened to them, but it didn't look good from the expression on her face. Suddenly she noticed that the shadow's hand was coming toward them. Instinctivally she (No, she didn't lie down and scream) grabbed her arrows. She pulled back the arrow and let go just in time to hit the hand. A white light swirled around the arrow. The arrow struck it and the black hand vanished. The demon was shocked, but quickly grew its hand back.
"Nice try." It went right back after them as if nothing had happened.
"Zero, what do we do?" Kagome looked over at Zero. Zero's eyes lost their pupils and her fangs grew three times their normal size, "Zero?" Kagome stared at her, not knowing what to do.
"Inu-Yasha, I will not let your fears become reality!" Zero cried.
Zero's paws grew, too, and her stripes became darker. Her hair stood straight up and Zero let out a cry as she transformed. Her claws grew and she stood on all fours. Kagome couldn't believe what she was seeing.
Before her stood a gigantic white tiger.

Liger003 ~ You know what I noticed? I have the hardest time spelling all of those names, heck, I have trouble spelling period! So sorry if I spell anything wrong. Mainly Miroku's name. For some reason I keep wanting to sell it Miruko. Don't ask, I don't know. So if I missed something when I was proof reading it, sorry! Remember to review!
