Chapter nine: Kagome VS Tania the last of the hyenas.
~*~*~*~*~Author Notes: This is the last chapter that's full of action. So, enjoy it. The last chapter going to be kinda mushy and lovey dovey. (at least that how I had planned it.) The ended is completely unexpected at least when I re-read most the story that how it seems, since I didn't even plan it that why in the beginning. Oh well enjoy.~_~_~_~
As Kagome went into the cave, Inuyasha was still loosing some of the foot chains that were coming the sun was about to raise he come feel it. His wounds were staring to heal rapidly and he had gotten his hands loose and in a few minutes, he would be able to get his neck a loose too. This he caught the heavy scent of blood, fear, and Kagome. He worked harder trying to get a loose now. No way could see him like this besides he was naked. Tania got to where Inuyasha was first. She laughed at his depressing attempt to escape from bondage. Her laughter was cut short by one of Kagome's arrow cutting the side of her face.
Kagome: Hey you! where's Inuyasha?
She didn't really need to say that cause as soon as Tania turn around she saw him. Tania had been abusing him! Inuyasha had cuts, burn scars, and other wounds all over him. Of course Tania was blocking the fact that he was naked and not just topless. Inuyasha shook his head so his hair could cover up his manhood.
Inuyasha: Kagome! Get the hell out off here! She'll going to kill you! Forget about me and save yourself!
Kagome: NO way! After all the things, I had to do and see out there. Your insane brother Sesshomaru even out there and hurt badly by this demon. And no matter how nasty you brother is, she still doesn't have the right to kill him. Beside without you we can't look for Kikyo or..
Tania: Enough! I'm sorry to break up this unnecessary little reunion but it I think it's pay back time for what you did to me. Tenfold bitch!
Kagome: Whatever I did you probably desired it. Bitch!!!
Tania: What! You are stupid little bitch for that; I'll kill you and your man. After of course I'm done with seducing him and maybe his brother too. They both so weak. No man can stand against me. Or weak foolish humans such as yourself!
Seduce. It wasn't a new word for Kagome, she had heard it one the news back in her time and everything of that nature but right now, it seemed that way. Never had see heard in used in the war and state era via Inuyasha's world. This put her in a state of shock. Tania snicker at Kagome's surprised face.
Tania: Oh I know it's a shock for you. Him once being yours and all, but remember you're going to die very soon and all your other little friends very very soon. Sooner still, your faithful little doggie lover shall follow you all to hell.
Inuyasha was becoming quiet piss about this whole little conversation yet was still trying to get free of the chains that held him. He had to protect Kagome somehow, but first he would need clothes too cover himself up. God he wished he knew what the retarded demon did with his clothes. Besides, it was getting much colder in the cave than warmer.
Inuyasha: Kagome! Stop sanding there with your mouth open and try to fight her.
Tania: Fight me! HA! Worthless humans such as yourself can't even touch me. I'll be damned before.
She was cut short Kagome struck her on the side of her face with one of her arrows, on the same place where she struck her the first time; thus, making the pain much worst and the cut even deeper. Tania yell and start shooting her hyena fire fur attack at her. Kagome dodged most of them. One of the few dozen hit her in the leg. Knocking the bow out her hands. 'That it this bitch it going to pay. I going to fight her one on one' Kagome ran up to Tania at this moment to she didn't care if Tania was stronger than her or if she was a weak human. All she knew was she had to protect and save Inuyasha. He was one of her dearest friends and she wasn't about to let a horny ass demon stand in her way. It was all or nothing she was going to save Inuyasha. She punched Tania square in her face thus causing Tania to be knocked out and her nose bleeding.
Inuyasha: Damn Kagome you knock her out with one hit!
Kagome: Yeah I guess I did Inu.
She finally looked up and down at him. He was naked! She never had seen a naked man before nor a naked half man either. She tried to dropped her eyes resentfully. Inuyasha wasn't too happy about the situation either. He just hope she can now find his clothes now that Tania was knocked out. He knew he had to kill her before the night ended it was the only way. Kagome could control her breathing this was the first time she even saw him topless. Sure, he had fallen in river and thus he shirt sticky to his body. She knew he had a nice body but now he was naked! She didn't it look like that or was it supposed too after all Inuyasha only half human. Maybe the top half human and the bottom half. The more she thought about the whole thing the redder her face became. Inuyasha was embarrassed with himself and for her. This was a real blow to his ego and all his manhood. He could never again look her in the face let along her eyes. Kikyo never even saw him naked. Inuyasha shook his head. He knew the more they stayed like this the more time they were giving Tania.
Inuyasha: Kagome! Quit staring and give me some clothes!
Kagome: How come you didn't tell me you were naked in the first place!
Inuyasha: feh like that would have solved anything. Hurry up before Tania attacks again!
Kagome search around for some clothes more likely his. Finally, she spotted them under a pile off bones and rotten flesh. Half heartily, Kagome got them and tossed them to Inuyasha who had broken one of the chains that held his hand. He struggled to get more of them broken. Kagome rushed to help him get a loose and could catch serious cold from all this. She got his legs and waist freed with her eyes closed. While Inuyasha got his other arm and hand freed. No way was she going to look and enjoy this close to him while he was naked. As soon as his legs were free, Inuyasha fell down flat on top of Kagome breathing heavily. It was clear that Inuyasha had lost a lot of circulation in both his legs and arms.
Kagome: Are you okay?
Inuyasha: Do I look okay?
*Kagome thoughts* It was true he been abuse the whole night and wasn't in the best of moods. He wasn't in the best of mood since last night as Myoga had reported. If only he knew how sexy he looked with, his long black hair and whoa hold on! This was not the time for that. Yet that what he dose everything. No matter what the situation Inuyasha captures me in everyway. If only he felt the same way about me. To have him this close to me everyday. Just holding him and his strong body. Stroking his hair of course, it would be silver and playful tugging on his doggie ears. If only Inuyasha would learn to love himself, the way he was. I can't image how he would look if he turned full demon hopefully not like his brother Sesshomaur or his father. He looked better half human with his dog-ears and silver hair than now in her opinion. Despite his attitude problem and maturity issues. Inuyasha is the first guy I actually wanted to be with. I had to save and protect him even if he wasn't going to do the same for her. Even though she could never be with him. Even though he loves Kikyo more than he would ever love her. I feel like crying
*Inuyasha Thoughts*
Kagome, she was scared and worry about him. This was the first time I have actually been really saved and rescue by her. She too close to me I don't like it. I'm naked you dumb girl don't you realize it? Actually, she is hugging me, keeping me warm in her arms. This was the first in a long while someone had their arms around him. Mother yes my mother had kept me like this when I was a child. Is that all Kagome is another mother? Or more like a friend? Sure, I say but I don't really mean it or do I? I never had any friends any real friends anyway. Is this what friends do protect you? Would Kikyo do this for me? Was Kikyo ever a friend? I never called her that or at least I don't remember ever calling her that. Was it love or lust? What are my feelings for Kikyo? Fifty years have past, how could our love turn into hate so easily? If I do get Kikyo back, would Kagome leave me? Would she stay? (Looks up at Kagome) Yet, she's crying for me. She always cries for me. Did Kikyo ever cry for me? Did she ever protect me when we were together? (Smirks) At least their even now I can call it even for looking at her when she was bathing.
Tania eyes flutter open and closed. 'How dare that bitch knock me out,' she was the one of the strongest demon in the world yet a worthless and puny human girl knock her out. She lifted her head slight to see Kagome holding Inuyasha. They did look like lovers. True lovers the bitch didn't even care that he was still naked and against her. She noticed he had found his clothes. She was going to send them both to hell now. Her ego deeply damaged by Kagome. She was look down on and diss by Inuyasha. Plus her tribe was nearly wiped out. They were on the brink of extinction. She rose to her knees. Damn that black haired bitch and her damn lover! Tania would have to kill them both without any power. She scanned the room for her sword. She would be force to kill them both the one fashion way.
By this time, Inuyasha was getting colder and uncomfortable being this close too Kagome. Yeah she was scared but so what he needed to put on her clothes and.
Tania: DAMN IT! I will destroy the both of you now. I send you to HELL!
Kagome grip Inuyasha even closes yet he finally had enough of Tania, and pull away from Kagome. Kagome suddenly felt cold as he did so. She had forgotten the fact that he was still naked as he rose up beside. She shielded her eyes from him.
Inuyasha: We you have to finish her off Kagome. Hold her off as much as possible while I get my clothes on.
Kagome: I don't think.
Inuyasha: Damn It! Stop being so scared and beat her. Look how weak she is! She couldn't even laugh if she wanted to. She's finished. Shippo could even take her on now. That blow to her face did more than make her nose bleed and she bleeds in more ways than one.
Kagome: Right.
Tania: Stupid words for stupid fools. I had enough of this sappy love speeches! So sweet, I was getting cavities! However, I will enjoy devouring you both!
Kagome: In your dream witch. Bring it on!
With that, Tania swung her sword over in Kagome direction. Trying to slashed her back and front. Kagome managed to doge the attacks. However, Tania did slash pieces of her shirt and skirt. Kagome fell back near the Tessiaga. The Tessiaga? How did it get in here? She didn't remember taken it with her, nor carrying it. Tania flung the sword down to Kagome's arms. She missed mostly only giving Kagome a cut in her arm. Thus making her cry out in pain. If only she could reach the Tessiaga in time. Yet, Tania kicked it out of the way before Kagome could reach it. Then kicked Kagome in the ribs.
Inuyasha: Kagome!
He rushed to get dress in order to help her. No way was he about to sit back and let Tania kill her. Finally, he was dress and ready to fight. (A/N Yeah I miss my naked and defend-less Inuyasha already. Sighs) Tania was go to bring down the sword against Kagome who was down snuck between a hard rock and a cold steel. So to speak. She closed her eyes. 'No! It can't end like this! Please don't let it end like this.' As Tania's sword was going to take her head. Inuyasha with the Tessiaga knock it out Tania hand. He knew it could transform for him and at its normal state couldn't cut wet paper. Yet, it did make Tania yell out.
Tania: Damn you. YOU fucking worthless dog! I will teach you some matters. Then you will be the first to die! I will Destroy you will all that I am!
Tania kicked Inuyasha in his already sore groin. Causing him harsh pain. She knocked the Tessiaga out from his hand as he cradled himself. She grabbed a nice lock of his hair forcing him to be face to face with her.
Tania: Here the deal doggie boy! You and your woman are going to hell and the more you piss me off! The more I'll make sure you friends outside will die a slow and painful death. IS that UNDERSTOOD!
Inuyasha: The only thing that could kill me right now is your breath.
Tania: WHAT!
Inuyasha: Stop screaming your making my eyes water.
Tania: Why you little. . .
Again, another arrow was flung by Kagome and it hit Tania in her arm. Tania let go of Inuyasha's hair. As she pulled it out the arrow, gushes of blood pumped out. She growled and just ripped her arm off. That way it was less pain to deal with. This was a shock to both Inuyasha and Kagome. Tania was now bleeding from her face down to her legs. She was enrage but their was little she could do. She started yelling causing the cave to cave to shake and rumble and rocks started to fall around them all.
Tania: This is the last straw you two are dead! YOU HEAR ME DEAD!
Kagome: It's over Tania. I still have three arrows left.
Inuyasha: Then don't make a speech about it. Just kill her already.
Kagome: Don't get cocky. I will.
*Mean while. the sun was starting to rise. As Miroku, Sango, Kirira, and Shippo was still battling the last of the hyenas. Jaken was aiding his master Sesshomaur wounds. Sesshomaru despite the fact that he allowed himself to be knocked out in front of humans. This was a blow to his ego. He would destroy that demon. He also hated her more than Inuyasha, which he didn't think, was ever possible. The shield around the cave he sensed was weaker so, he could past though now. He got up slower and groaned a bit. No way could he fight with Inuyasha now. He would retreat if Inuyasha was still alive and well.
Sesshomaru: Jaken stay here. I am going to take care of that beast of a demon myself.
And with that Sesshomaru walked slowly to the cave. He would he kill her. He knew that what Inuyasha and Kagome was it not, were trying to do. He could smell the blood and sweat.
Kagome, Inuyasha, and Tania were still in battle. Kagome only had one arrow left now. The other to had landed nicely in Tania's other arms and stomach. Tania was bleeding all over now. The battle was just about finish. Tania was so close to tears. Her wounds were unbearable. She was kneeling on the ground, shaking and coughing up much blood.
Tania: Damn you, damn it, damn, damn it all!
Inuyasha: What the matter Tania can't handle defeated? You pick the wrong mutt to mess with. Feh now say you prayers cause the sun is about to raise and once it does you are finished.
So that why he getting so cocky Kagome thought it was true it was nearly 5:50am the sun rose at 6:00 it was getting close. So close. So close.
Tania: I sick and tired of you saying that! Now die.
Tania ran up and was knock back by Inuyasha's fist. Yeah he was playing with her as if she was a ball. It didn't matter now. Tania was breathing heavy after that. She was rubbing her arm. Growling and snarling at them both she look at the two lovers in such loathful way. Oh, how she hated them both for it.
Tania: That does it I will kill you two lovers! Once and for all, no matter if, I have die in the progress!
That when she started laughing. Kagome quickly let go of her bow and put the earplugs Inuyasha ears. Inuyasha was startled by her fast movements at first. Wait he couldn't hear anything anymore. It must another one of Kagome's tricks to protect him.
Kagome: HEY! If you kill us then you'll never get the shards of the Shikon jewel I promise you that!
This stop had Tania in her insane laughing attack of course, this why she had wanted Kagome and the others to come for Inuyasha was it not. To get the jewel shards! Would the stupid human actually give her some shards to save her and her lover sorry asses? Foolish human.
Tania: where are they or I shall be cross.
Kagome nearly smirked it was working. Hmm Tania almost sounded like Yura when she said that. She got out the bag of stick and sour candy. Good things then never fell out her pocket. That pocket she made in her skirt was coming in handy. She crushed some of it in her hands. Making it look like shards from the jewel. This had to work. Inuyasha stared blankly at her in a mist of confusion he couldn't hear what was being said. If he did, he wouldn't have been piss to no amount. Which is why Kagome put the earplugs in Inuyasha's ears in the first place.
Kagome: Here it only three that all we could find. The others were taken from us by a demon named Naraku.
Tania: Really! Hmm very well toss them to me now.
Kagome did as order. Tania studied them but she never had seen any of the shards nor smelled one. Though she had two of them, herself she had forgotten anyway. Thought it wouldn't matter she was bleeding and almost out of it. She quickly swallow what she thought was the jewel shards.
Tania: Ack! It burns what the hell is this I can barely speak. I can't .
Kagome: Laugh. (Chuckles) Too bad Tania we won't be going to hell with you today or any other day. How dare you try to seduce Inuyasha and for you FYI he is not my lover he one of my dearest friends.
Tania moaned and groan but the candy had such a sour and stick taste to it. She had been made a fool again by the human. How she hated herself. She could hardly whimper much less cry out in agony. It was over it, it was . . .
Tania cut all thoughts shorts as she let loose a series of attacks. From her hyena fire fur, attack to her punching and kicking. It was over her throat had been seal by the human girl magic and now it was no use for her. Kagome doge most of the attacks she really didn't need to only half of them were able to reach her and Inuyasha. Inuyasha watched the cave entrance it was time. Kagome doge another one of Tania attacks while in hit Inuyasha giving him another burn. Kagome watch the flames lick at his already injured arm yet it didn't seem to matter to him.
Kagome: Inuyasha?
Tania didn't waste no time she let of full series of attacks. Making both of them doge out of the way. The cave was starting to rumble again and some more rocks started to fall around it. So that what she was trying to do after all cause an avalanche! Finally, the burning in Tania mouth was going away, yet she knew she couldn't laugh or yell anymore.
Tania: You fucking annoying dumb asses! How dare you trick me and now I will have to kill you both. This is it get ready cause you two are gonna die!
Inuyasha: Feh, looks like you finally dove her mad. I protect you just give me ten.
Kagome: Ten what?
Before Inuyasha could say, anything Tania blasted him and Kagome away from each other. She used her Hyena whip attack to bind Inuyasha again to the wall. Funny it was wet. Kagome nearly crack her head open from the fall to the ground. She couldn't believe that Tania could pack such a punch. Once again, Inuyasha was tied to the wall like a dog. He smirked it didn't matter now thought he could feel his power coming back to him. Tania floated her way up near him. She bitch slapped him a couple times.
Tania: How dare you! How dare you! You mutt face scrum of the earth! You have to love me! I'll make you love me. Forget that wrench and come with me Inuyasha and we can become a strong powerful nation.
Inuyasha: Feh I don't want any thing to do with you. And look your half dead anyway. I don't need to listen to your pleas of mercy and weak promises. Now put me down you demented diva or else I do more than rip you in half in less than a minute.
Tania: In one second you'll be dead!
Tania came used her short claws to cause a huge rip in the bottom half of Inuyasha's kimono but Inuyasha grab her as he began transforming back to himself. His eyes turned blood red. His hair from black to silver and his dog-ears reappeared. Inuyasha was half demon once again. The sun was up and shining brightly throughout the cave and all across the land.
Tania: What the Hell?
Inuyasha: Feh, I told you to keep your damn dirty paws off of me! You damn dirty hyena.
Kagome: Inuyasha you transform back. Ow!
Kagome had tried to get up from the fall but it was clear that her ankle was badly injured from the fall. She slowly got up only to fall down again. Tania notice the weakness as she rushed over to finish off Kagome. Inuyasha broke the bonds that held him and did his iron reverse soul stealer attack. (Or what ever it's called. He says it so fast it sound like one big bark.) A vast amount of blood gushed out of Tania then. Inuyasha stood in front of Kagome and pulled her up to her feet. Yeah it was over now.
Tania: Damn you. You weren't in your full demon form all this time!
Inuyasha: I'm not a full demon now but that shouldn't matter to you right now anyway.
Kagome: Inuyasha I'm too weak to fight now.
Inuyasha: That's ok Kagome you fought well enough. I'll take it from here.
Sesshomaru walked slowly up to the cave. Something was up with Inuyasha his power had greatly increased, and yet he was so weak. If Inuyasha saw him, right now he could almost easily beat him. He thought about what he said to Tania a while back. How he wouldn't fuck her if that were the only way to kill Inuyasha.
Sesshomaru: Perhaps I should wait a little longer.
The hyenas were few and scarce Miroku and the rest were just as tired. Tania their leader were minutes away from her deathbed. Inuyasha had his Tessiaga in full form. He wanted to test his wind scar on Tania, but she was too weak to even stand.
Inuyasha: Aw come on I'll feel bad if I have to kill ya kneeling before me.
Tania: You think you won huh? Well think again.
Kagome: Inuyasha I think she going to start laughing.
Inuyasha: Let her. She can die with a smile.
Too bad for Inuyasha if he had knew how loud Tania laugh could be her would had finish her off right then and there. Tania laugh so loudly that it shook the whole cave. Inuyasha ears were rumbling and Kagome ears went numb. The Tessiaga broke transformation much to Inuyasha surprise. Rock slides and the water from the back of the cave was starting to leak and fall. It was clear this was an all of nothing battle and Tania was a sore loser. Kagome slowly crawled over to where her bow was. She only had one arrow left. She had to make the shot count but where would she hit? Kagome closed her eyes and prayed. It had to make it even though Tania was so far away and she really couldn't think right. She shot the arrow straight at Tania throat a deadly shot yes. Tania yelled in agony and screamed a thousand screams. The cave halfway collided around them. Inuyasha was have a hard time staying focusing on Tania but he got his Tessiaga to transform again and thrusted it into Tania heart. Of course she dropped nearly dead on the ground blood was over her and the cave now.
Tania: Damn it. I fail to get the man and the jewels. You must really love that human whore but heed my word mutt boy she be the end of you. You.
Silence Tania didn't get to finish her statement. Too much blood was coming out her mouth anyway. Inuyasha smirked the battle was over and Kagome and the others were ok. Most of his scars were already either healed or being healed. Inuyasha picked Kagome off the ground into his arms. The cave was still vibrating all around them. When suddenly Inuyasha was knocked back, while Kagome screamed out of pain and afraid for Inuyasha.
Sesshomaru: Well, well you two were able to beat the demon. Your not as weak as I thought you were half breed.
Inuyasha: Sesshomaru you bastard what the hell are you here for?
Sesshomaru: To make sure you don't survive or your human mate.
Inuyasha: She isn't my mate. She's my friend and what it too you.
Sesshomaru: Nothing at all. . . Yet. Kagome you should know half-breeds equal half size.
Sesshomaru blasted a side of the cave making it even move unstable and Inuyasha picked up his sword. Why the hell did Sesshomaru show up at the worst times? He started thrusting at him but even as injured as Sesshomaru was he could still out run Inuyasha. However, as Sesshomaur went by Tania and took a quick glance at her, Inuyasha like a mad man came up and slashed a side of his face. Sesshomaur knock Inuyasha back with his poison claws causing him pain. Inuyasha kimono ripped all the way now down to his cotton white shirt. Half naked once more. (Yay!) Well, at least he was just topless and not vica-versa. Inuyasha let out a growl as Sesshomaur pulled out his Tenseiga and slashed Inuyasha down with it causing Inuyasha to make a big hole in the ground below him. Kagome screamed out Inuyasha's name, there was little she could do. She knew Sesshomaur said he was going to kill Inuyasha after the battle, but she used all her arrows and she couldn't even stand up. Inuyasha climbed out his self made hole and snared at his older brother who was standing before him smirking. All she could was sit and cry. Inuyasha was more piss than he had been the whole night! Sesshomaur had to die now. What the hell? Had he seen him naked also? If that the case he was going to kill the bastard for sure, just as soon as he climbed out his self-made hole.
Inuyasha: Damn you! Your worst than Kagome.
Sesshomaru: I have better things to do than to listen to your whimpers Inuyasha. Just remember half demon half size.
And with that, Sesshomaru kicked Inuyasha back down in the hole. Kagome rushed over to Inuyasha on her sprang ankle. He wasn't going to waste time and try to kill her today anyway. Sesshomaru paid her no heed as he took Tania's body and left in a flash. Inuyasha once again worked his way back up the hole only this time to see Kagome sobbing near him. He gently gripped her on her back.
Inuyasha: Hey stop crying I'm alright.
Kagome: Ya sure?
Inuyasha: Come on let's go help the others.
Inuyasha picked her back up. Kagome noticed he had a wound on the side of his forehead now and blood was dipping from it. She didn't want to ruin the moment of victory so she said nothing to him. Actually, this was the first time Inuyasha had called her a friend and his heart pounding as he held her in his arms also like he was going to have a heart attack any second from now. Inuyasha was feeling sore, exhausted, and above all annoyed. He hated when Sesshomaur kicked him around, made a fool of him and disgraced him. How dare he tease him about his manhood. Plus he hated it when everyone thought Kagome and himself were lovers. It wasn't that he was embarrassed or nothing it was just he still had strong feelings for Kikyo. It contradicted one for the other. Although he was happy if didn't betray either one of them and that Kagome didn't seem to mind of about seeing him like that. For a moment, he wanted to smile. Almost. Kagome rested her eyes and rested her head next to her favorite half demon and best friend Inuyasha. Yet wondering what the heck was Sesshomaru meaning when he said half demon equal half size.
~*~*~*~*~*~ Author notes: Whew, this chapter was kinda long. At least I think so. I hate it when I don't know how to end stuff right. (Oh well) What did Sesshomaur want with Tania's body? She is dead right? What will happen now? Find out all the answers to these questions and more in the final chapter! ~*~*~*~
~*~*~*~*~Author Notes: This is the last chapter that's full of action. So, enjoy it. The last chapter going to be kinda mushy and lovey dovey. (at least that how I had planned it.) The ended is completely unexpected at least when I re-read most the story that how it seems, since I didn't even plan it that why in the beginning. Oh well enjoy.~_~_~_~
As Kagome went into the cave, Inuyasha was still loosing some of the foot chains that were coming the sun was about to raise he come feel it. His wounds were staring to heal rapidly and he had gotten his hands loose and in a few minutes, he would be able to get his neck a loose too. This he caught the heavy scent of blood, fear, and Kagome. He worked harder trying to get a loose now. No way could see him like this besides he was naked. Tania got to where Inuyasha was first. She laughed at his depressing attempt to escape from bondage. Her laughter was cut short by one of Kagome's arrow cutting the side of her face.
Kagome: Hey you! where's Inuyasha?
She didn't really need to say that cause as soon as Tania turn around she saw him. Tania had been abusing him! Inuyasha had cuts, burn scars, and other wounds all over him. Of course Tania was blocking the fact that he was naked and not just topless. Inuyasha shook his head so his hair could cover up his manhood.
Inuyasha: Kagome! Get the hell out off here! She'll going to kill you! Forget about me and save yourself!
Kagome: NO way! After all the things, I had to do and see out there. Your insane brother Sesshomaru even out there and hurt badly by this demon. And no matter how nasty you brother is, she still doesn't have the right to kill him. Beside without you we can't look for Kikyo or..
Tania: Enough! I'm sorry to break up this unnecessary little reunion but it I think it's pay back time for what you did to me. Tenfold bitch!
Kagome: Whatever I did you probably desired it. Bitch!!!
Tania: What! You are stupid little bitch for that; I'll kill you and your man. After of course I'm done with seducing him and maybe his brother too. They both so weak. No man can stand against me. Or weak foolish humans such as yourself!
Seduce. It wasn't a new word for Kagome, she had heard it one the news back in her time and everything of that nature but right now, it seemed that way. Never had see heard in used in the war and state era via Inuyasha's world. This put her in a state of shock. Tania snicker at Kagome's surprised face.
Tania: Oh I know it's a shock for you. Him once being yours and all, but remember you're going to die very soon and all your other little friends very very soon. Sooner still, your faithful little doggie lover shall follow you all to hell.
Inuyasha was becoming quiet piss about this whole little conversation yet was still trying to get free of the chains that held him. He had to protect Kagome somehow, but first he would need clothes too cover himself up. God he wished he knew what the retarded demon did with his clothes. Besides, it was getting much colder in the cave than warmer.
Inuyasha: Kagome! Stop sanding there with your mouth open and try to fight her.
Tania: Fight me! HA! Worthless humans such as yourself can't even touch me. I'll be damned before.
She was cut short Kagome struck her on the side of her face with one of her arrows, on the same place where she struck her the first time; thus, making the pain much worst and the cut even deeper. Tania yell and start shooting her hyena fire fur attack at her. Kagome dodged most of them. One of the few dozen hit her in the leg. Knocking the bow out her hands. 'That it this bitch it going to pay. I going to fight her one on one' Kagome ran up to Tania at this moment to she didn't care if Tania was stronger than her or if she was a weak human. All she knew was she had to protect and save Inuyasha. He was one of her dearest friends and she wasn't about to let a horny ass demon stand in her way. It was all or nothing she was going to save Inuyasha. She punched Tania square in her face thus causing Tania to be knocked out and her nose bleeding.
Inuyasha: Damn Kagome you knock her out with one hit!
Kagome: Yeah I guess I did Inu.
She finally looked up and down at him. He was naked! She never had seen a naked man before nor a naked half man either. She tried to dropped her eyes resentfully. Inuyasha wasn't too happy about the situation either. He just hope she can now find his clothes now that Tania was knocked out. He knew he had to kill her before the night ended it was the only way. Kagome could control her breathing this was the first time she even saw him topless. Sure, he had fallen in river and thus he shirt sticky to his body. She knew he had a nice body but now he was naked! She didn't it look like that or was it supposed too after all Inuyasha only half human. Maybe the top half human and the bottom half. The more she thought about the whole thing the redder her face became. Inuyasha was embarrassed with himself and for her. This was a real blow to his ego and all his manhood. He could never again look her in the face let along her eyes. Kikyo never even saw him naked. Inuyasha shook his head. He knew the more they stayed like this the more time they were giving Tania.
Inuyasha: Kagome! Quit staring and give me some clothes!
Kagome: How come you didn't tell me you were naked in the first place!
Inuyasha: feh like that would have solved anything. Hurry up before Tania attacks again!
Kagome search around for some clothes more likely his. Finally, she spotted them under a pile off bones and rotten flesh. Half heartily, Kagome got them and tossed them to Inuyasha who had broken one of the chains that held his hand. He struggled to get more of them broken. Kagome rushed to help him get a loose and could catch serious cold from all this. She got his legs and waist freed with her eyes closed. While Inuyasha got his other arm and hand freed. No way was she going to look and enjoy this close to him while he was naked. As soon as his legs were free, Inuyasha fell down flat on top of Kagome breathing heavily. It was clear that Inuyasha had lost a lot of circulation in both his legs and arms.
Kagome: Are you okay?
Inuyasha: Do I look okay?
*Kagome thoughts* It was true he been abuse the whole night and wasn't in the best of moods. He wasn't in the best of mood since last night as Myoga had reported. If only he knew how sexy he looked with, his long black hair and whoa hold on! This was not the time for that. Yet that what he dose everything. No matter what the situation Inuyasha captures me in everyway. If only he felt the same way about me. To have him this close to me everyday. Just holding him and his strong body. Stroking his hair of course, it would be silver and playful tugging on his doggie ears. If only Inuyasha would learn to love himself, the way he was. I can't image how he would look if he turned full demon hopefully not like his brother Sesshomaur or his father. He looked better half human with his dog-ears and silver hair than now in her opinion. Despite his attitude problem and maturity issues. Inuyasha is the first guy I actually wanted to be with. I had to save and protect him even if he wasn't going to do the same for her. Even though she could never be with him. Even though he loves Kikyo more than he would ever love her. I feel like crying
*Inuyasha Thoughts*
Kagome, she was scared and worry about him. This was the first time I have actually been really saved and rescue by her. She too close to me I don't like it. I'm naked you dumb girl don't you realize it? Actually, she is hugging me, keeping me warm in her arms. This was the first in a long while someone had their arms around him. Mother yes my mother had kept me like this when I was a child. Is that all Kagome is another mother? Or more like a friend? Sure, I say but I don't really mean it or do I? I never had any friends any real friends anyway. Is this what friends do protect you? Would Kikyo do this for me? Was Kikyo ever a friend? I never called her that or at least I don't remember ever calling her that. Was it love or lust? What are my feelings for Kikyo? Fifty years have past, how could our love turn into hate so easily? If I do get Kikyo back, would Kagome leave me? Would she stay? (Looks up at Kagome) Yet, she's crying for me. She always cries for me. Did Kikyo ever cry for me? Did she ever protect me when we were together? (Smirks) At least their even now I can call it even for looking at her when she was bathing.
Tania eyes flutter open and closed. 'How dare that bitch knock me out,' she was the one of the strongest demon in the world yet a worthless and puny human girl knock her out. She lifted her head slight to see Kagome holding Inuyasha. They did look like lovers. True lovers the bitch didn't even care that he was still naked and against her. She noticed he had found his clothes. She was going to send them both to hell now. Her ego deeply damaged by Kagome. She was look down on and diss by Inuyasha. Plus her tribe was nearly wiped out. They were on the brink of extinction. She rose to her knees. Damn that black haired bitch and her damn lover! Tania would have to kill them both without any power. She scanned the room for her sword. She would be force to kill them both the one fashion way.
By this time, Inuyasha was getting colder and uncomfortable being this close too Kagome. Yeah she was scared but so what he needed to put on her clothes and.
Tania: DAMN IT! I will destroy the both of you now. I send you to HELL!
Kagome grip Inuyasha even closes yet he finally had enough of Tania, and pull away from Kagome. Kagome suddenly felt cold as he did so. She had forgotten the fact that he was still naked as he rose up beside. She shielded her eyes from him.
Inuyasha: We you have to finish her off Kagome. Hold her off as much as possible while I get my clothes on.
Kagome: I don't think.
Inuyasha: Damn It! Stop being so scared and beat her. Look how weak she is! She couldn't even laugh if she wanted to. She's finished. Shippo could even take her on now. That blow to her face did more than make her nose bleed and she bleeds in more ways than one.
Kagome: Right.
Tania: Stupid words for stupid fools. I had enough of this sappy love speeches! So sweet, I was getting cavities! However, I will enjoy devouring you both!
Kagome: In your dream witch. Bring it on!
With that, Tania swung her sword over in Kagome direction. Trying to slashed her back and front. Kagome managed to doge the attacks. However, Tania did slash pieces of her shirt and skirt. Kagome fell back near the Tessiaga. The Tessiaga? How did it get in here? She didn't remember taken it with her, nor carrying it. Tania flung the sword down to Kagome's arms. She missed mostly only giving Kagome a cut in her arm. Thus making her cry out in pain. If only she could reach the Tessiaga in time. Yet, Tania kicked it out of the way before Kagome could reach it. Then kicked Kagome in the ribs.
Inuyasha: Kagome!
He rushed to get dress in order to help her. No way was he about to sit back and let Tania kill her. Finally, he was dress and ready to fight. (A/N Yeah I miss my naked and defend-less Inuyasha already. Sighs) Tania was go to bring down the sword against Kagome who was down snuck between a hard rock and a cold steel. So to speak. She closed her eyes. 'No! It can't end like this! Please don't let it end like this.' As Tania's sword was going to take her head. Inuyasha with the Tessiaga knock it out Tania hand. He knew it could transform for him and at its normal state couldn't cut wet paper. Yet, it did make Tania yell out.
Tania: Damn you. YOU fucking worthless dog! I will teach you some matters. Then you will be the first to die! I will Destroy you will all that I am!
Tania kicked Inuyasha in his already sore groin. Causing him harsh pain. She knocked the Tessiaga out from his hand as he cradled himself. She grabbed a nice lock of his hair forcing him to be face to face with her.
Tania: Here the deal doggie boy! You and your woman are going to hell and the more you piss me off! The more I'll make sure you friends outside will die a slow and painful death. IS that UNDERSTOOD!
Inuyasha: The only thing that could kill me right now is your breath.
Tania: WHAT!
Inuyasha: Stop screaming your making my eyes water.
Tania: Why you little. . .
Again, another arrow was flung by Kagome and it hit Tania in her arm. Tania let go of Inuyasha's hair. As she pulled it out the arrow, gushes of blood pumped out. She growled and just ripped her arm off. That way it was less pain to deal with. This was a shock to both Inuyasha and Kagome. Tania was now bleeding from her face down to her legs. She was enrage but their was little she could do. She started yelling causing the cave to cave to shake and rumble and rocks started to fall around them all.
Tania: This is the last straw you two are dead! YOU HEAR ME DEAD!
Kagome: It's over Tania. I still have three arrows left.
Inuyasha: Then don't make a speech about it. Just kill her already.
Kagome: Don't get cocky. I will.
*Mean while. the sun was starting to rise. As Miroku, Sango, Kirira, and Shippo was still battling the last of the hyenas. Jaken was aiding his master Sesshomaur wounds. Sesshomaru despite the fact that he allowed himself to be knocked out in front of humans. This was a blow to his ego. He would destroy that demon. He also hated her more than Inuyasha, which he didn't think, was ever possible. The shield around the cave he sensed was weaker so, he could past though now. He got up slower and groaned a bit. No way could he fight with Inuyasha now. He would retreat if Inuyasha was still alive and well.
Sesshomaru: Jaken stay here. I am going to take care of that beast of a demon myself.
And with that Sesshomaru walked slowly to the cave. He would he kill her. He knew that what Inuyasha and Kagome was it not, were trying to do. He could smell the blood and sweat.
Kagome, Inuyasha, and Tania were still in battle. Kagome only had one arrow left now. The other to had landed nicely in Tania's other arms and stomach. Tania was bleeding all over now. The battle was just about finish. Tania was so close to tears. Her wounds were unbearable. She was kneeling on the ground, shaking and coughing up much blood.
Tania: Damn you, damn it, damn, damn it all!
Inuyasha: What the matter Tania can't handle defeated? You pick the wrong mutt to mess with. Feh now say you prayers cause the sun is about to raise and once it does you are finished.
So that why he getting so cocky Kagome thought it was true it was nearly 5:50am the sun rose at 6:00 it was getting close. So close. So close.
Tania: I sick and tired of you saying that! Now die.
Tania ran up and was knock back by Inuyasha's fist. Yeah he was playing with her as if she was a ball. It didn't matter now. Tania was breathing heavy after that. She was rubbing her arm. Growling and snarling at them both she look at the two lovers in such loathful way. Oh, how she hated them both for it.
Tania: That does it I will kill you two lovers! Once and for all, no matter if, I have die in the progress!
That when she started laughing. Kagome quickly let go of her bow and put the earplugs Inuyasha ears. Inuyasha was startled by her fast movements at first. Wait he couldn't hear anything anymore. It must another one of Kagome's tricks to protect him.
Kagome: HEY! If you kill us then you'll never get the shards of the Shikon jewel I promise you that!
This stop had Tania in her insane laughing attack of course, this why she had wanted Kagome and the others to come for Inuyasha was it not. To get the jewel shards! Would the stupid human actually give her some shards to save her and her lover sorry asses? Foolish human.
Tania: where are they or I shall be cross.
Kagome nearly smirked it was working. Hmm Tania almost sounded like Yura when she said that. She got out the bag of stick and sour candy. Good things then never fell out her pocket. That pocket she made in her skirt was coming in handy. She crushed some of it in her hands. Making it look like shards from the jewel. This had to work. Inuyasha stared blankly at her in a mist of confusion he couldn't hear what was being said. If he did, he wouldn't have been piss to no amount. Which is why Kagome put the earplugs in Inuyasha's ears in the first place.
Kagome: Here it only three that all we could find. The others were taken from us by a demon named Naraku.
Tania: Really! Hmm very well toss them to me now.
Kagome did as order. Tania studied them but she never had seen any of the shards nor smelled one. Though she had two of them, herself she had forgotten anyway. Thought it wouldn't matter she was bleeding and almost out of it. She quickly swallow what she thought was the jewel shards.
Tania: Ack! It burns what the hell is this I can barely speak. I can't .
Kagome: Laugh. (Chuckles) Too bad Tania we won't be going to hell with you today or any other day. How dare you try to seduce Inuyasha and for you FYI he is not my lover he one of my dearest friends.
Tania moaned and groan but the candy had such a sour and stick taste to it. She had been made a fool again by the human. How she hated herself. She could hardly whimper much less cry out in agony. It was over it, it was . . .
Tania cut all thoughts shorts as she let loose a series of attacks. From her hyena fire fur, attack to her punching and kicking. It was over her throat had been seal by the human girl magic and now it was no use for her. Kagome doge most of the attacks she really didn't need to only half of them were able to reach her and Inuyasha. Inuyasha watched the cave entrance it was time. Kagome doge another one of Tania attacks while in hit Inuyasha giving him another burn. Kagome watch the flames lick at his already injured arm yet it didn't seem to matter to him.
Kagome: Inuyasha?
Tania didn't waste no time she let of full series of attacks. Making both of them doge out of the way. The cave was starting to rumble again and some more rocks started to fall around it. So that what she was trying to do after all cause an avalanche! Finally, the burning in Tania mouth was going away, yet she knew she couldn't laugh or yell anymore.
Tania: You fucking annoying dumb asses! How dare you trick me and now I will have to kill you both. This is it get ready cause you two are gonna die!
Inuyasha: Feh, looks like you finally dove her mad. I protect you just give me ten.
Kagome: Ten what?
Before Inuyasha could say, anything Tania blasted him and Kagome away from each other. She used her Hyena whip attack to bind Inuyasha again to the wall. Funny it was wet. Kagome nearly crack her head open from the fall to the ground. She couldn't believe that Tania could pack such a punch. Once again, Inuyasha was tied to the wall like a dog. He smirked it didn't matter now thought he could feel his power coming back to him. Tania floated her way up near him. She bitch slapped him a couple times.
Tania: How dare you! How dare you! You mutt face scrum of the earth! You have to love me! I'll make you love me. Forget that wrench and come with me Inuyasha and we can become a strong powerful nation.
Inuyasha: Feh I don't want any thing to do with you. And look your half dead anyway. I don't need to listen to your pleas of mercy and weak promises. Now put me down you demented diva or else I do more than rip you in half in less than a minute.
Tania: In one second you'll be dead!
Tania came used her short claws to cause a huge rip in the bottom half of Inuyasha's kimono but Inuyasha grab her as he began transforming back to himself. His eyes turned blood red. His hair from black to silver and his dog-ears reappeared. Inuyasha was half demon once again. The sun was up and shining brightly throughout the cave and all across the land.
Tania: What the Hell?
Inuyasha: Feh, I told you to keep your damn dirty paws off of me! You damn dirty hyena.
Kagome: Inuyasha you transform back. Ow!
Kagome had tried to get up from the fall but it was clear that her ankle was badly injured from the fall. She slowly got up only to fall down again. Tania notice the weakness as she rushed over to finish off Kagome. Inuyasha broke the bonds that held him and did his iron reverse soul stealer attack. (Or what ever it's called. He says it so fast it sound like one big bark.) A vast amount of blood gushed out of Tania then. Inuyasha stood in front of Kagome and pulled her up to her feet. Yeah it was over now.
Tania: Damn you. You weren't in your full demon form all this time!
Inuyasha: I'm not a full demon now but that shouldn't matter to you right now anyway.
Kagome: Inuyasha I'm too weak to fight now.
Inuyasha: That's ok Kagome you fought well enough. I'll take it from here.
Sesshomaru walked slowly up to the cave. Something was up with Inuyasha his power had greatly increased, and yet he was so weak. If Inuyasha saw him, right now he could almost easily beat him. He thought about what he said to Tania a while back. How he wouldn't fuck her if that were the only way to kill Inuyasha.
Sesshomaru: Perhaps I should wait a little longer.
The hyenas were few and scarce Miroku and the rest were just as tired. Tania their leader were minutes away from her deathbed. Inuyasha had his Tessiaga in full form. He wanted to test his wind scar on Tania, but she was too weak to even stand.
Inuyasha: Aw come on I'll feel bad if I have to kill ya kneeling before me.
Tania: You think you won huh? Well think again.
Kagome: Inuyasha I think she going to start laughing.
Inuyasha: Let her. She can die with a smile.
Too bad for Inuyasha if he had knew how loud Tania laugh could be her would had finish her off right then and there. Tania laugh so loudly that it shook the whole cave. Inuyasha ears were rumbling and Kagome ears went numb. The Tessiaga broke transformation much to Inuyasha surprise. Rock slides and the water from the back of the cave was starting to leak and fall. It was clear this was an all of nothing battle and Tania was a sore loser. Kagome slowly crawled over to where her bow was. She only had one arrow left. She had to make the shot count but where would she hit? Kagome closed her eyes and prayed. It had to make it even though Tania was so far away and she really couldn't think right. She shot the arrow straight at Tania throat a deadly shot yes. Tania yelled in agony and screamed a thousand screams. The cave halfway collided around them. Inuyasha was have a hard time staying focusing on Tania but he got his Tessiaga to transform again and thrusted it into Tania heart. Of course she dropped nearly dead on the ground blood was over her and the cave now.
Tania: Damn it. I fail to get the man and the jewels. You must really love that human whore but heed my word mutt boy she be the end of you. You.
Silence Tania didn't get to finish her statement. Too much blood was coming out her mouth anyway. Inuyasha smirked the battle was over and Kagome and the others were ok. Most of his scars were already either healed or being healed. Inuyasha picked Kagome off the ground into his arms. The cave was still vibrating all around them. When suddenly Inuyasha was knocked back, while Kagome screamed out of pain and afraid for Inuyasha.
Sesshomaru: Well, well you two were able to beat the demon. Your not as weak as I thought you were half breed.
Inuyasha: Sesshomaru you bastard what the hell are you here for?
Sesshomaru: To make sure you don't survive or your human mate.
Inuyasha: She isn't my mate. She's my friend and what it too you.
Sesshomaru: Nothing at all. . . Yet. Kagome you should know half-breeds equal half size.
Sesshomaru blasted a side of the cave making it even move unstable and Inuyasha picked up his sword. Why the hell did Sesshomaru show up at the worst times? He started thrusting at him but even as injured as Sesshomaru was he could still out run Inuyasha. However, as Sesshomaur went by Tania and took a quick glance at her, Inuyasha like a mad man came up and slashed a side of his face. Sesshomaur knock Inuyasha back with his poison claws causing him pain. Inuyasha kimono ripped all the way now down to his cotton white shirt. Half naked once more. (Yay!) Well, at least he was just topless and not vica-versa. Inuyasha let out a growl as Sesshomaur pulled out his Tenseiga and slashed Inuyasha down with it causing Inuyasha to make a big hole in the ground below him. Kagome screamed out Inuyasha's name, there was little she could do. She knew Sesshomaur said he was going to kill Inuyasha after the battle, but she used all her arrows and she couldn't even stand up. Inuyasha climbed out his self made hole and snared at his older brother who was standing before him smirking. All she could was sit and cry. Inuyasha was more piss than he had been the whole night! Sesshomaur had to die now. What the hell? Had he seen him naked also? If that the case he was going to kill the bastard for sure, just as soon as he climbed out his self-made hole.
Inuyasha: Damn you! Your worst than Kagome.
Sesshomaru: I have better things to do than to listen to your whimpers Inuyasha. Just remember half demon half size.
And with that, Sesshomaru kicked Inuyasha back down in the hole. Kagome rushed over to Inuyasha on her sprang ankle. He wasn't going to waste time and try to kill her today anyway. Sesshomaru paid her no heed as he took Tania's body and left in a flash. Inuyasha once again worked his way back up the hole only this time to see Kagome sobbing near him. He gently gripped her on her back.
Inuyasha: Hey stop crying I'm alright.
Kagome: Ya sure?
Inuyasha: Come on let's go help the others.
Inuyasha picked her back up. Kagome noticed he had a wound on the side of his forehead now and blood was dipping from it. She didn't want to ruin the moment of victory so she said nothing to him. Actually, this was the first time Inuyasha had called her a friend and his heart pounding as he held her in his arms also like he was going to have a heart attack any second from now. Inuyasha was feeling sore, exhausted, and above all annoyed. He hated when Sesshomaur kicked him around, made a fool of him and disgraced him. How dare he tease him about his manhood. Plus he hated it when everyone thought Kagome and himself were lovers. It wasn't that he was embarrassed or nothing it was just he still had strong feelings for Kikyo. It contradicted one for the other. Although he was happy if didn't betray either one of them and that Kagome didn't seem to mind of about seeing him like that. For a moment, he wanted to smile. Almost. Kagome rested her eyes and rested her head next to her favorite half demon and best friend Inuyasha. Yet wondering what the heck was Sesshomaru meaning when he said half demon equal half size.
~*~*~*~*~*~ Author notes: Whew, this chapter was kinda long. At least I think so. I hate it when I don't know how to end stuff right. (Oh well) What did Sesshomaur want with Tania's body? She is dead right? What will happen now? Find out all the answers to these questions and more in the final chapter! ~*~*~*~
