Part 2: Open Your Eyes
Chapter 11 - Out From the Frying Pan, and Into the Fire.
************************************
Kikyou and Kagome exchanged a few arrows, each missing by centimeters. They went on like that until an arrow grazed Kagome's side, drawing blood. Kagome cried out, and replied with an arrow of her own, scoring a hit on Kikyou's shoulder, similar to the one she had received from Naraku all those years earlier. Kagome felt weakened by blood loss, but managed to stand her ground.
~~~
Meanwhile, Inuyasha wasn't making much progress with the ninjas either. A few sword blows here, a few parries there, neither gaining nor losing ground. He heard Kagome cry out in pain, distracting him for a moment. The ninjas took advantage of his distraction and pulled out a few metal stars, with sharpened points. Inuyasha heard the stars coming, and blocked with his sword. The stars ricocheted and embedded themselves in the nearby trees. Inuyasha chanted a quick spell, tiring of the game. The ninjas were caught of guard, and were blown to pieces by the expanding ball of energy. Inuyasha took a look at the strange stars they had thrown; they were unlike anything he had ever seen. A second scream reminded him of Kagome. He tore of in the direction of her scent, forgetting about the stars, picking up another smell along the way. One of death and earth.a smell he thought he had rid himself of a while ago.one he would make sure went away and stayed there.
~~~
Mental was enjoying himself. They had all fallen into his trap, soon he would be able to dismantle the group from the inside, severely lowering their odds of survival. He exchanged a few sword moves with Shiron. A figure eight swing here, a couple of fast strikes here and there, nothing too fancy. He wasn't here to destroy Shiron or his mate, he had long since realized that would be impossible to beat them without help, as was the same for them. That's why he knew he had to worm his way to the center of the little group and destroy the one who held them together; then nothing could stop him from taking the last key fragment. Then all that was left would be to retrieve the other half from Shiron, and he would have control of a vastly powerful weapon. This was just a distraction. Soon he would be able to easily destroy all that Kagome had worked for, all with a little trickery and deception. It was time to put into motion the second phase of his plan. Mental made a giant leap backwards, and disappeared into the shadows. Shiron had experienced this many times before, fighting until Mental grew tired of them and disappeared to do more dirty work. He felt an odd feeling; something that told him they were going to fall into some trap, but he couldn't place his finger on what Mental was planning.
~~~
Inuyasha rushed towards the two scents that were Kagome and Kikyou. He was bewildered over the fact that she was back after he had destroyed her. He smelt the coppery scent of blood.Kagome's blood. He felt his own blood begin to boil, and a possessiveness he never new he had come up from nowhere. "Damn instincts," Inuyasha thought, cursing his 'natural tendencies'. He hoped he would get there in time.
~~~
Kikyou and Kagome looked pretty bad off. They had continued their little duel for quite some time now, and each only had an arrow left. Kagome felt Inuyasha's presence getting closer, and she knew she would have to get rid of Kikyou soon, or the dead priestess would haunt her for the rest of her life. Kikyou was faster in stringing here bow, preparing her last arrow, the one that would rid her of this pesky reincarnation. She released the arrow.
~~~
Inuyasha was fast approaching the clearing Kagome and Kikyou were using as a battlefield. As he neared the clearing, he saw each of them were down to their last arrow. He saw Kikyou draw her arrow with speed born from years of practice. Kagome was a sitting duck. He hope he reached her in time.
~~~
Kagome saw the arrow coming closer. She shut her eyes knowing she had lost. She waited for the end to come, but it never did. She opened her eyes to find Inuyasha standing in front of her, with Tetsusaiga drawn. He had deflected Kikyou's arrow, giving Kagome a chance. She drew her last arrow, and aimed for Kikyou, behind the protection Inuyasha offered. He offered no resistance to Kagome killing her, and maybe it would be better that way. Before Kagome could let go, Kikyou spoke, an evil laugh coming deep from within her. "You couldn't get rid of me Inuyasha, what makes you think my reincarnation can?" Inuyasha responded in a cold voice, surprising Kagome with just how cold it could become. "You have become nothing more than a servant of evil, Kikyou. That is why I could get over you. Now you shall die, and stay that way." On cue, Kagome released her arrow, surrounded by a strange purifying white light, instead of the usual purple. Kikyou opened her mouth to declare that she would have her revenge, but no sound came out as she was completely purified.
When the smoke cleared, a ghostly white form of Kikyou was floating there. She was not injured, and wore a smile, instead of the usual scowl she wore when she was undead. "Thank you for releasing me." was all she said as she faded into nothingness.
~~~
Miroku was battling his ninja, and was getting nowhere fast. Whenever he opened his wind tunnel, the ninja would throw a star into it, nicking the void. He used his staff to block the sword, but wouldn't be able to get close enough to knock him out. He hoped some one would come along and help him out of this useless battle.
~~~
Mental was tiring of this little game. The clearing he had chosen to fight Shiron in had picked up numerous scars and slash marks from missed sword moves and power surges. He felt the doll that was Kikyou have it's life force extinguished. He new that the puppet had failed just liked planned. With this Kagome person injured, that would put her out of commission just long enough for him to manipulate the girl right into his little plan for the ultimate demise of the group. It was time. He pushed back and did a back flip, landing in the darkness, disappearing into its depths. Shiron blocked the last slice, and sheathed his powered down sword. Mental's wife had also disappeared. He felt a slight unease, for whatever plan Mental was concocting had just been put into motion. He knew from experience that he better hurry and try to figure out what was happening and put a stop to it. His mate walked up, and placed her head on his shoulder, giving him a hug. He returned the hug out of habit, thoughts deep in the mess that Mental had created.
~~~
Sango was knee deep in her fight with Kohaku. She still could not bring herself to kill Kohaku, and it was becoming a major disadvantage. Kohaku suddenly stopped and took of into the darkness, leaving Sango behind. She puzzled over his disappearance, but her thoughts were centered on Miroku when she heard his cry of pain. She took off in the direction she had last seen the priest.
~~~
Miroku was quickly losing. The ninja were becoming a pain in the butt, and he saw no end to it. Suddenly out of nowhere Kohaku appeared and stabbed him in the back with his chain sickle thingy. Miroku let of a cry of pain and slumped to his knees. The last thing he saw was Sango hurtling her boomerang.
~~~
Kagome had passed out after her ordeal, forcing Inuyasha to haul her back to the den. He had her cradled in her arms when Sango came rushing by with Miroku in tow on Kirara. Inuyasha saw his condition and simple stated, "To the den".
A big ass demon suddenly reared up behind them. It was as ugly as hell too. "You thought you got off that easily?" it bellowed, catching the group of guard. Before they could do anything a glowing sword blade popped out from its forehead, killing the beast. It fell to the ground with a loud wummf and disintegrated. "Go to the den, and take my mate with you. She is a healer and can help you. I will finish up here." Shiron was standing behind the bones of the demon, and picked out his sword. Inuyasha glanced back and gave a nod, before continuing on. Rynn, caught up with the group and followed them down into the den.
~~~ Shiron stood there and reached out throughout the desolation. He felt emptiness, save a few retreating demons. He felt Mental was also nearby, but was shrouding himself from his perception. He dismissed Mental and set to work on fixing the damage Mental had caused. Shiron sheathed his sword and closed his eyes. He felt his power flow through him as he returned life to the section of forest that was the battlefield. 'This is strange. Usually the battles we have with Mental are long and drawn out, not this quick.' Shiron thought. 'Something is not right here.'
~~~
Inside the den, Inuyasha had brought Kagome to his bed and gently laid her down. Rynn followed him in with some water, a cloth, and a few other items. She laid her hand upon her forehead, and concentrated. In a few moments she spoke. "She will be all right. I trust you can take care of the wounds?" Inuyasha nodded. "Good. I am of to take care of Miroku if you need me." She got up and left to tend Miroku's more pressing wounds. Inuyasha delicately cleaned and dressed her wounds, having watched Kaede so many times. When he finished, Shiron walked into the room. Inuyasha sensed his presence and gave of a low growl while placing his hand on the hilt of Tetsusaiga. Shiron chuckled.
"You have nothing to fear from me Inuyasha."
"Just who the fuck are you anyway?"
Shiron laughed again.
"I guess I haven't formally introduced myself yet have I? I am Lord Shironseki, and you have already met my mate, Lady Rynn, the daughter of the lord of the Southern lands."
"Feh"
"Come. I have much to tell you and little time to do it in."
Inuyasha glanced back at Kagome, lying there on the bed.
"She will be all right."
"Feh"
Inuyasha and Shiron walked outside.
"The person you met out next to Naraku's puppet is Mental, the most despicable vile evil creature this world has ever seen. He is my enemy, and unfortunately, has allied himself with Naraku."
"So? Why should I care that he has allied himself with that bastard Naraku?"
"You should. You will be unable to touch Naraku now that Mental is with him. The only way we can defeat them is for us to fight together."
"Feh. I don't need your help."
Shiron cut him of with a wave of his hand. "Then Mental has already won. Naraku will get the Shikon jewel, and Mental will get this piece of the key."
"Wait just a fucking minute here, what is this about a key?"
"Oh. That is the entire reason Mental, Rynn, and I are here. It is our quest, much like yours is to complete the jewel and kill Naraku. In short, the key, when completely assembled, opens the door to a vastly powerful device that is capable of completely destroying a planet. Basically, the key parts are scattered over time and space, so we have to go time hopping to find them. The next one will appear here in Japan in a few weeks."
"Feh"
"I'm sure this is just mindless babble to you, but without our help, you and your friends lives are in severe danger."
~~~
"Kukuku. He doesn't suspect a thing." Mental chuckled to himself, hidden deep in the shadows. "Tigi, is the trap ready?" Mental's mindless servant, Tigi, came up behind him. "Yes, mi lord." "Good. It is time for that girl to wake up."
Kagome woke up. She vaguely remembered what had happened in the battle. Soon the world came into focus and she remembered what had happened. She noticed the bandages on her. She removed them to find no wounds. Rynn had been back to help her with a speedy recovery. Then she remembered something. "Oh my gosh! I have finals tomorrow! And I haven't studied! I hope Inuyasha wouldn't mind if I went off for a couple of days." Kagome got out of bed and got her big yellow backpack. She snuck through the halls expecting to find Inuyasha somewhere. She hadn't though, only the sight of the snoozing Sango and Miroku. They made a cute couple and she made a mental note to tease them later for it. She exited the den, and still she had not caught sight of him. 'At this rate I will be able to go home without being pestered.' Kagome thought happily as she headed towards the well.
Kagome had made it to the well, and no Inuyasha yet. She breathed a sigh of relief. She chunked her backpack over the well ledge. "Just where do you think you are going?" a voice came from behind her, startling her. She turned around to find Inuyasha standing behind her. "Oh, it is just you Inuyasha. Look, I have finals tommorow, and I really need to study for them..."
~~~ Inuyasha was talking with Shiron, when he smelt a demon near the well, along with Kagome's scent. "I sense it too." Shiron looked off in the direction of the well. Inuyasha took off, followed by Shiron. 'What is going on here.OH SHIT! OH SHIT! OH SHIT!' "NOOO! Inuyasha.you mustn't go. ah shit," Shiron screamed after him. Inuyasha was too far ahead, and disappeared into the depths of the forest.
"Oh shit.this is not good."
~~~
"You aren't going anywhere with these, wench." Inuyasha snatched the Shikon fragments that were hanging from her neck.
"Hey! What do you think you are doing?
"Sit!"
The beads around his neck began to glow, but then stopped as he muttered something and ripped them off.
"Finally I am free of these stupid beads and you. At least those spells were good for something." Kagome was in shock.
'He. he. just removed the prayer beads. How could he? I thought they could only be removed by me.'
"And now it is time to remove the pesky thorn in my side, my shard detector."
Kagome was in a state of shock, fear and grief. He had just confirmed all of her deepest fears. Tears flowed as she looked around in panic. She noticed her arrows that had fallen out of her backpack unnoticed when she had tossed it down the well. She rushed over and picked them up and strung an arrow.
"Kukuku. do you really think your arrows can hurt me now that I have my new powers?"
Kagome grunted and pulled back. Inuyasha moved to give her a clear shot.
"Take your best shot."
Kagome let the arrow fly. Inuyasha broke the glowing arrow in half with his staff. Inuyasha chuckled and started walking towards her.
"You'll have to do better than that."
Kagome backed up and fell into the well, tears streaming and a new emotion forming: hate. She screamed one last thing as she fell:
"I hate you Inuyasha."
~~~
Inuyasha was flying at top speed towards the well. He saw Kagome standing there with her arrow drawn. It clicked in his mind that this was a trap, but why by Kagome? She let the arrow fly. He mustered up as much of his spiritual strength as possible, and tried to stop the arrow. The arrow slowly pushed him back against the god tree. He felt his strength leaving him as he fought the arrows strength. He felt his power leave him, and the arrow pierced his heart. He was pinned again. The last thing he heard before he slipped into the darkness was
"I hate you Inuyasha."
