Part 10- The End of Triggu
Triggu had stayed underwater for a while as Selfina and Jet began to loose air.
"I'm able to stay under here for a little more," thought Jet to himself. "But I don't know about Selfina. I have to help her." He managed to grabbed Selfina's hand as she seemed almost lifeless, and pulled her closer to him. Jet put his lips against hers and began breathing into Selfina.
She opened her eyes as he moved back from her, and lifted one of her hands up; pointing at the two figures that were approaching them. It was Sephiroth and Kenshin. Kenshin swam over to Selfina as Sephiroth went to Jet. The two used their swords and sliced the tentacles that blinded Selfina and Jet. In doing that, Triggu let out a loud, strange cry and splattered a black ink smoke like substance everywhere.
Sephiroth gave Kenshin a signal to head to the surface with Selfina. He nodded in response and made his way to the top with Selfina at hand.
Sephiroth looked at Jet and began talking through his thoughts. "It seems you have the ability to talk this way."
"Yeah, I can," responded Jet. "Do you have a plan in mind?"
He nodded. "Yes, I do. I need you to help me weaken this monster and make it come to the surface. A surprise will be waiting for it there."
Jet smiled. "I see. Well, lets do this them."
Triggu started to swipe its tentacles around; which made it hard for the two to dodge it in the black substance where they couldn't see. Jet was hit very hard by one of them, but countered by shoving his gun through the tentacle since he couldn't shoot underwater. Sephiroth moved out of the way of the incoming tentacles with ease, and cut two more of the tentacles off; leaving it with only three. Triggu grew angry and swam at them at a rapid speed. Sephiroth signaled Jet to head to the surface.
*************************************************************************
Kenshin and Selfina were able to reach the top.
"Kenshin...Selfina," said Kagome running to the side of the ship. "Are you two okay?"
"I'm fine," replied Kenshin. "But Selfina isn't doing so well. She's been under for a while."
Kagome looked closely at the water. "Something's coming." She aimed her bow and arrow at the water as it began to bubble.
The bubbles grew bigger as Sephiroth and Jet popped up to the surface also.
"Kagome, it's coming" shouted Sephiroth. "You know what to do."
"I do?" she asked. "But you never told me what-"
Kagome was interrupted by the giant octopus, Triggu rising out of the water. She examined it as it jumped out of the up, and found a small, green, and shiny rock that looked like a diamond attached to its forehead.
"I see what Sephiroth was talking about," she said raising her weapon to meet Triggu. "Come on...make the shot." Kagome released the bow as the arrow flew towards Triggu.
As the arrow made its to the octopus; it began to glow a bright purple color. When it hit the green rock directly; the arrow made a huge explosion sending parts of Triggu splattering everywhere.
Kagome blinked. "Whoa...I did all that?"
The others looked at her in shock.
"It seems she has discovered a hidden power of hers," said Sephiroth.
Kenshin nodded. "It seems that way..."
"Uhh...as much as I'm amazed at what just happened, "said Selfina. "I'd like to get back on the ship cause I'm like really tired..."
"Oh sorry about that," Kagome said. She helped them all on the ship one by one.
Just as Selfina began to walk; she closed her eyes and fainted. Jet caught her just before she fell.
"She wasn't kidding about being tired," Kagome said.
"I'll get her to bed and I'll be on way to sleep as well," said Jet as he walked downstairs.
Sephiroth stretched and made his way back to the control room. "I'm going to rest for a bit..."
"Okay," said Kagome. She looked around. "I'm not tired to I guess I'll stay up for a while longer. What about you Kenshin? I see you look like your old self again."
Kenshin looked up at Kagome as he sat down and smiled, "Yeah, I am. I'm sorry if I scared you before, and yes, I'm going to stay up also."
Kagome grabbed a broom nearby, and began sweeping parts of Triggu off the ship. "Hey Kenshin. What exactly happened to you? Back then when me and Sephiroth found you downstairs with InuYasha and Sarah...your eyes...and face expression didn't seem right. You looked like someone else."
"I guess you could say that was my true self," Kenshin replied. He stood up and helped her with the cleaning. "It's kind of hard to explain. To make a long story short; back then I was known as Battousai the manslayer, because of the awful things I did. Till this day, I'm trying to repent of what I did back then by taking an oath to never kill again."
"I see," said Kagome. "It seems that Battousai dude hasn't left you yet."
He shook his head. "No. He's still here. He will always be here. All I can do is stop him before he strikes, but unfortunately I can't."
Kagome placed the broom onto the floor and looked ahead. "What's that?"
"I think it's the magic barrier Vix was talking about," replied Kenshin. "We should be able to pass through it according to her."
Up ahead, there was a rainbow-colored wall that stretched across the ocean. Just as Vix said, the ship passed through the barrier with ease. When it went through, Kagome and Kenshin saw a little hump in the water from a distance.
"That must be Moon Island," said Kenshin.
Kagome smiled. "We got here pretty fast...maybe to fast. I bet Sesshomaru knows we are almost to the island."
Kenshin looked over at her. "That shouldn't matter, because whatever traps he may have set won't stop us from saving your and Selfina's friends. We are going put an end to whatever he's plotting."
"That's right," replied Kagome. "He won't stand a chance with all of us!"
