Chapter 21: Hello and Goodbyes
Sango noticed he was edging towards her sister, with one hand reaching out to her limb pale form. The words floated back to her mind of what Inyana had said. . .one touch and she would be gone.
"NNNOOOO!!!" Sango yelled and all time seemed to stop before them
* * * * & * * * *
Inu-Yasha saw what was about to happen, there was no way he could stop it, He saw Sango, he knew she could not use her boomerang, they were to close to Kagome. No one could stop this act that was about to take place until."KOUGA!" Inu-Yasha shouted
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Kouga pushed himself to the limits, he was thrown across the large room when Sango had entered, and he saw what she saw. He was going to make it, he dashed with his inhuman speed he quickly but gently lifted Kagome into his arms. Time stood still as Yuurei's hand was only inches away, he heard Inu-Yasha's shout his name, he looked over his shoulder with wide eyes, his black ponytail slowly catching up to him from his fast movements.
He never had time to move, he could not even say a simple word, but his face showed all as in an instant Yuurei switched his position and ran his katana through Kouga's chest, the blade went completely through the other side, the blade never touched Kagome though. He heard his name being called out again. Kouga smiled gently and raised a clawed hand and caressed the raven-haired girls face.
Yuurei then twisted his blade sideways, causing the okami youkai to howl in pain, the specter then yanked the blade out of the okami's chest, having put his foot on the okami's back for leverage. Kouga then fell forward with the miko in his arms as he took his last breath.
"KOUGA!" Inu-Yasha cried out followed by the gasp of Sango and Miroku. Sessho-maru said nothing, but Kouga had done a noble deed that would be remembered and honored. Sango shook her head as the tears flowed down his cheeks, though she did not know the wolf for very long it still pained her. She then rushed towards the two figures upon the floor before Miroku could stop her.
She dove for her sister and quickly picked her up, Miroku followed suit and dragged Kouga before Yuurei could further attack the them. Yuurei rushed at the slayer but he was stopped by the human Inu-Yasha. "You will pay for that." Inu-Yasha growled at the loss of his friend. Sessho-maru stood behind Yuurei with his sword raised, Sessho-maru smirked though as he looked out the window to his side. Only in a few hours the sun would be up and the tides would change.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Sango held her little sister in her arms; she was so pale, so cold. "Kagome." She spoke gently and hugged her, then gently sat her down. "Miroku watch over them, theirs nothing we can do for them now.my sister.is dead." Sango said holding back her tears as Miroku lowered his head. "But her soul is still with her, Kouga did not die in vain." She said and detached Hiraikotsu from her back and held it over her shoulder with one hand as she placed her mask on her face.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Yuurei laughed as he easily ripped through Sesshy's armor and threw him across the room, Inu attack Yuurei with everything he had, he wished the sun would rise soon. He hated to be human and he hated not being able to protect his friends! He was lifted into the air by Yuurei's clawed hand but was dropped when a huge object smacked Yuurei in the head causing him to fly into the wall. Inu-Yasha fell hard onto his backside. He looked up as Hiraikotsu went back to its master's hand. "Sango." Smirked Yasha as he stood back up and looked to his half brother that was shaking dust out his hair. Inu-Yasha smirked again, he looked at Yuurei, and the specter was badly beaten as the where. This was a good sign. Yasha spat out some blood, sadly though his human body was growing weak unlike his brother.
"Inu-Yasha move out of the way." Sesshy said as he walked up to his younger brother, normally Yasha would snap a nasty comment and not move, but right now. It seemed very wise to listen to his brother. Sesshy sheathed the bloody Toukijin and watched as he attacked Yuurei with his green whip, catching the specter by the neck. Yuurei never knew what hit him when Sesshy used that whip and slammed him against the wall a few times then, he rushed at him using the Dokkasou successfully upon the enemy, poisoning him.
Yuurei growled and slapped the dog-demon away after he had done that, He then felt his head ringing in pain as he felt the bone boomerang hit him again this time taking an arm off and part of his shoulder. The tables were turning! Yuurei looked towards the window, the sun! It was coming up! He had twenty minutes! Twenty minutes to get the girl and kill these annoying pest!
* * * * * * * * * * * *
These twenty minutes flew by quickly as Yuurei pounded down his enemies, Yuurei laughed as the monk tried his best to stand guard over the fallen but he wasn't much of a challenge, though he did receive a good many injuries. He then decided to have a little fun, he looked over to his left, the sun was coming. He then looked over to Inu-Yasha who was slumped up against the wall next to his dead love. Inu-Yasha knew she was dead and it pained him, he want to cry, he wanted revenge! He never got to tell her how he felt.he looked towards the window. Oh the sun! He couldn't wait!
Yuurei noticed the look on his face and ran towards the mutt and grabbed him by the throat and slammed him into the wall. He quickly glanced around the room Sango was by the weary monk. Sesshy was to his right, holding his wounded side in a crouching position. Yuurei laughed and tightened his grip on the human Inu-Yasha. "Time to die Inu-Yasha." With that said Yuurei took his blade and stabbed Inu-Yasha through the gut. But when he did so, all he received was laughter, eerie laughter, from the human.
Yuurei's eyed him closely then his eyes widened as he watched the human shed his black hair like rain. His human ears ran up to their rightful place upon his head. His hair shown brightly from the suns rays, Inu-Yasha laughed and looked up into the eyes of his lovers murder. His eyes were once again golden! His nails became claws! Yuurei jerked his katana out of the hanyou and stared at him. The wounds began to heal, Yuurei dropped him and stood back. "Damnit!" He growled and thrust his sword at the hanyou, but Inu-Yasha dodged with quick speed and twisted on the balls of his heels and stood behind the specter.
"Sankon Tetsusou!" he cried as his claws ripped through the specters flash. Yuurei let out a cry and turned to hit the Hanyou, but the hanyou was far from his reach, Inu-Yasha unsheathed his sword, the Tetsusaiga! The blade instantly transformed when it recognized its masters call. "Now . . . you die!" Inu-Yasha yelled at the specter and raised his sword over his head.
Two colors emerged from the fighters, red from the hanyou and black from the youkai specter, A bright light shone as the two colors fused together, creating the long awaiting wind scar! Yasha smirked as Yuurei charged at him, Yasha moved to the side as he took aim. He brought down his sword in one single swap. The Kaze no Kizu was released and a bright light followed it as it ripped apart the youkai. Inu-Yasha held his position as he felt the attack smack into the specter and he performed the attack again, the sword slammed into the floor.
Their was nothing left of the Yuurei. Inu-Yasha took deep breaths he has won. Suddenly the palace shook and parts of the ceiling fell around them. "Shit! This place is falling part!" yelled Sango. "Get Miroku! I'll get Kagome and Kouga!" Inu-Yasha yelled as he sheathed the sword and ran to Kouga and slung him over his shoulder, then picked Kagome up bridle style. Sango lifted Miroku upon her back and ran off down the stairs. "Sessho- maru." Yasha spoke, but his brother was gone, Yasha smirked and took off down the stairs following Sango. They both ran as fast as they could as the palace fell to piece around them. They came to the fourth floor only to find their path blocked. Yasha looked around. "Sango the window!" he yelled and ran to it, Sango looked down. "Are you nuts! Well never make it!"
"Well it's the only way." He stated and then climbed up on the window ceil only to find a giant flying cat in front of him. "Kirara!" Sango cried, Inu- Yasha backed up and let Sango get on Kirara, he then laid Kouga upon Kirara's back. "Get going!" He cried as he held Kagome, they nodded and flew off. Inu-Yasha jumped on the ceil as it feel from under him. "Damn!" He held as he klutzily jumped off the ceil and onto a gargoyle, he jumped from that to another and another. He raced across the outside of the roof upon the third floor then jumped as it caved in from under him.
He landed safely onto the cold hard ground and looked up at his companions. Then down at Kagome, he frowned and laid her down by Kouga's body. He said nothing. "Am sorry." Sango said as she realized he loved her sister. He said nothing once again. Inu-Yasha heard his brother walk up next to him. "Inu-Yasha." He spoke, his half brother did not move. Wordlessly Sesshy unsheathed the Tenseiga. "Move." He spoke, Inu-Yasha heard a sword being drawn, and he turned and looked up at his brother with wide eyes. Was. . . was that the Tenseiga he was holding. "Sessho-maru?" he asked as he moved. Sesshy said nothing.
He felt the power of the sword flow through him and then with a one quick swing over the two dead bodies, a light exploded from them, Sesshy put away his fathers sword. "." He then turned to leave his brother as Rin ran up to Sesshy and smiled at him then hugged his legs. Inu-Yasha watched his brother leave with the human child. He always wondered if it was Sessho- maru who saved his love and friend or was it Rin?
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Kagome hugged her sister, "Are you sure you don't want to stay here?" Kagome asked her sister. "Ite, you two need sometime for yourselves." Sango laughed and looked to Inu-Yasha. "Thank you for taking care of her and myself." She said with a slight bow. "Don't worry I'll come and visit you two." She giggled slightly as Miroku put his hands around her waist. "Sango." He said sweetly. Shippo ran around them, "I have a mommy! I have a mommy!" he sang out loud as little Kirara ran in circles around her friends with the kitsune. They all laughed at this site.
Kouga had returned to his tribe after he had said his farewells and thank you's. He never would of thought he would be in that mutts, debt. He laughed to himself though, but he frowned as he remembered there was business to be taken care of at his tribe. Some business he wishes he would not have to do.
Sango and Miroku of course left to travel other places for a while. Miroku and her decided it would be best to spend time together before they made any plans for the future. Then again Kirara and Sango had to 'conduction' the monk to keep his hands to himself many, many times.
Shippo of course had gotten himself a mommy; Kagome had agreed to be the hanyou's mate. Shippo hoped one day he would have little brothers and sisters to play with. His wish was granted as the years went by, Kagome gave birth to beautiful baby girl that was quarter demon. She herself had silver hair with black tips and golden eyes from her father, also his silver ears with black tips. She had her mothers looks and charms, but her fathers mouth. Sesshy brought Rin to visit, he could never say no of course. Heh, funny though Jaken had seemed to disappear. No body knew or they just did not care, either way though that he was still stuck to that very same tree to this day.
As their Kagome and Inu-Yasha's child grew she became strong and more beautiful, though she had one problem she was blind when she was born. But she had over come that disability a long time ago. No one knew she was being watched as she grew or the strange green eyes that followed her.
But that as they say. . .
Is another story.
