Chapter 9: Attack!
After the Shikon no Tama's completion, surviving wolf demons had culminated their powers into a fierce, bloodthirsty force. They had combined into one fierce tribe in order to claim the Shikon no Tama. The tribe had killed many in their quest and now they had encountered the ones who held the legendary Jewel.
********
"Kagome." Shippo's voice shook as he called the miko.
Kagome and the others spun around in unison and were confronted by the terrors of the countryside.
The demons licked their sharp fangs in anticipation. Then, a solitary wolf demon, the largest ever seen, walked up from the center of the pack. All moved aside, for this demon was the leader of them all. The giant wolf demon stalked through the pack and without warning and with deadly swiftness, sprung and Kagome aiming to rip out her throat.
**********
Inu-Yasha's chest tensed in fear as he saw the cornered group. His hands balled into fists as he stood in turmoil debating what to do.
'I want to help them, but.. will they have my help? Or will they turn it away? I don't know what to do anymore! I don't want to be rejected again.'
Just then, he saw the wolf spring towards Kagome and his doubts were replaced by a single purpose.
'I MUST SAVE HER!' he thought in rage as he sprung down the cliff. 'Even if you reject me.I cannot allow you to die in vain!'
He leapt in front of the demons charge and absorbed the shock himself. The demons pointed snout went through his shoulder and he was thrown backwards into Kagome by the force of the charge.
'I had to save her.even though she hates me.because.because I love her.'
Inu-Yasha thought to himself as the force threw him into Kagome.
'Now I know she's safe..'
******** Kagome braced herself for the pain but was surprised when it did not come. She opened her eyes to see the demon plough its sharp snout through Inu- Yasha's shoulder.
"No! Inu-Yasha!" She cried out in fear.
'I can't let you die in grief; you must know how much I truly love you.. I must correct the mistake brought on by my temper.. I must save your soul Inu-Yasha!'
Her tortured thoughts were brought to a halt when Inu-Yasha was propelled into her. They both fell back into the cliff face. Kagome recovered first to find Inu-Yasha's body leaning against her soaked in blood. She gasped in fear and anguish at the state he was in.
"Inu-Yasha." she began tentatively "Are you.?"
"I'm fine." He answered swiftly "Kagome, make it out of here alive."
With that, he rose to his feet and walked into the fray. Miroku and Sango were standing back to back fighting off the enormous amount of demons. But, they were losing quickly to the sheer volume of the attackers.
But, before Inu-Yasha could move to help them, the leader came at him once again. Inu-Yasha spun around and crossing his arms over his head, absorbed the shock of the attack and protected his throat from the ruthless demon. Quickly drawing the Tetsusaiga as the wolf sprung back to prepare for another charge, Inu-Yasha brought the blade down in a fierce arc that blew the demon away.
With a fierce battle cry, Inu-Yasha leapt toward Sango and Miroku slashing any demons in his way.
'I must protect them.. even if it means my life!' With that binding thought Inu-Yasha broke through the demons circling Sango and Miroku.
Sango and Miroku were shocked by the look of their friend. His eyes were wild and his body language showed savagery. But the force driving him was protection. He had the look in his eyes of one who had lost the will the live, but carried on to save his enemies from a similar fate.
'My God! I know he was hurt, but, could Kagome's anger change him forever?'
Sango thought with distress
'I want the old Inu-Yasha back! The immature, violent and stubborn Inu- Yasha who's spirit we all loved.'
Then he spoke to them, his voice rough with pain both physical and emotional.
"Move back! I'm going to use the wound of the wind to defeat them! I don't want you getting hurt!"
They moved back to where Kagome was. She was still leaning against the cliff watching Inu-Yasha fight for their survival.
'Inu-Yasha.. come back to me! Let me make you smile! I want.to show you love! I can't let you die like this!' She thought with determination 'Inu- Yasha.. I want to save your spirit!'
******** Inu-Yasha was acutely focused on the task. As he stood before the force of demons he focused on the clouds of youki. As he saw them clash he raised the Tetsusaiga and brought it down in a devastating blow.
As Inu-Yasha channeled his energy into the blast, he was momentarily unaware of the surrounding area. With this moment of missed concentration and wolf demon in a humanlike form snuck up behind Inu-Yasha. Before his friends could call out a warning, the demon drove his sword through Inu- Yasha's abdomen. Jolted out of his concentration by the pain, Inu-Yasha was driven to one knee as the wound threatened to claim his consciousness.
"Silly half-breed," the demon murmured, "Even though you killed all my comrades, you thought you'd live to tell of it?"
"Yes! I did!" With a cry of savage rage Inu-Yasha drove his sword through the demons heart.
As the last vestiges of consciousness left him and he began to sink to the ground, he saw Kagome running toward him with tears in her eyes.
'Kagome.. she's crying..' He thought as he blacked out completely.
To Be Continued.
