Inu-Yasha stiffened at this mention of his past. His eyes blazed hatred at the
woman who stood before him.
Kagome had drawn out her own bow and was pointing the notched arrow at the
woman. "Just try it."
The rest of the group took battle stances as well. Sango had somehow already
managed to change into her amour. (How DOES she do that?!) She aimed
Hiraikotsu, ready to throw. with a burst of flame Kiara changed to her larger form a growl
rising deep in her throat and Miroku's fingers hovered above the beads that were wrapped
around his hand. Shippo was, well, hiding behind Kagome.
"It appears your outnumbered," Inu-Yasha smirked.
The woman raised one prettily arched eyebrow at the hanyou, "Am I now?"
Her pretty face suddenly changed. It seemed to melt and reform until another
person stood before them.
Kikyo.
Inu-Yasha stiffened.
"WAHHHH! Not her again" Shippo cried, cowering behind Kagome.
But it couldn't be her. The woman was using an illusion. This infuriated the
hanyou. Even more so, how did she know about his past? About Kikyo?
The half demon raised the tetisugia and slashed it downward, "nice try witch!"
But then the face changed again, it wasn't Kikyo standing in front of him, it
was Kagome. Inu-Yasha hesitated, and the mere two seconds cost him. The woman
released the arrow.
It was the pain all over again, history repeating it's self. The arrow went
through his chest and into the tree behind him.
"INU-YASHA!" A voice screamed. Kagome was instantly at his side. But she had
shot him, had'nt she? He was having trouble thinking. Kikyo had shot him. No,
that was last time. He looked up at the woman who had shot the arrow. She was
changing again. Her body melded and reformed until an enourmas demon shoot in
her place.
She resmled a giant spider, only she was bright red and seemed to have too many
legs. She towered above them like some monstrous nightmare.
"History repeats it's self, half breed" she laughed in a menacing voice.
"falling in love with mortals has always been your family's downfall."
She began to scuttle towards Kagome, a hungry look in her huge red eyes, "Once
I have the shards I will make you watch me kill her!"
"Inu-Yasha!" Kagome cried and tired to remove the arrow from his chest. It
wouldn't budge. The half demon tried to move, to tell her to run, but it was all
beginning to go dark.
Kagome…
Hiraikotsu sped forward and whacked the approaching demon.
"Kagome run!" Sango cried, catching the boomerang as it returned to her.
"But Inu-Yasha-" The girl tried once again fruitlessly to remove the arrow.
"Run!"
Yes... Run Kagome, run while you still can...
The world went black for Inu-Yasha.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Inu-Yasha! Kagome pulled on the arrow but it would not budge. The spider demon
seemed to have recovered from the Sango's attack and was once again advancing
towards her.
A strong wind picked up as Kazaana came into play. Miroku had removed the
beads and glove from his hand and was attempting to suck the demon into his
void. Kagome wrapped her arms around the unconscious Inu-Yasha to avoid being
sucked in along with the unfortunate foliage and the occasional tree that were
being drawn into the monks hand.
"Inu-Yasha... Wake up!"
The void didn't seem to be working. Although everything else in the forest
seemed to be flying towards the Buddhist's hand, the demon was not. Sweat
popped up on Miroku's brow as he struggled to keep using Kazaana but Kagome knew
it was hard work. The monk was tiring.
Seeing this, Sango leapt forward, sword drawn. Kiara flew beside her, roaring.
Sango slashed downward at the demon, driving her blade into it's back. The creature cried
in furry and reared up on it's hind legs in an attempt to knock the demon exterminator off.
When this proved ineffective it reached up with one out it's many legs and struck her
with all it's might.
Sango uttered a little cry as she flew though the air and smacked into a tree.
She landed on the ground and lay motionless.
"SANGO-CHAN!!!!" Kagome cried.
Kiara attempted to injure the demon but the spider ignored her, acting like
the cat demon was no more than an annoying fly.
"Fox fire!"
In one last attempt to defeat the demon Shippo had leapt forward and was
attempting to use his magic, the demon didn't even flinch. Instead it set it's
sights on the tiny kitsune.
"It is death to oppose me!" the spider demon cried triumphantly.
Miroku attempted to stop her with his staff but was knocked aside. The demon
loomed over Shippo.
Kagome looked around in panic. None of her friends could beat this demon! Her
eyes fell on the tetesugia still clasped in the unconscious Inu-Yasha's hand.
It was their only hope. She took the steel-cleaving fang from the sleeping hanyou.
It was heavy but she would manage. She took a deep breath and faced the demon. It was
up to her.
The sword instantly transformed. The rusty blade became the true weapon that
it was intended to be. Kagome could feel it's power pulsing through her hands.
This is for you Inu-Yasha
Kagome lunged forward and swung.
The blade imbedded it's self in the spider's scaly red hide. She pulled it
out. Bright green blood poured from the wound. The demon screamed and whirled to face
her.
"The sword! it burns! Why can a mere mortal hurt me?!" she swung at Kagome, trying
to knock the sword from her hands. kagome ducked and swung again, more green gore flowed
out, covering her. If it had been any other time she would have cared. The demon screamed
and writhed. Again and again she swung. Her arms were on fire and the demons screams rang
in her ears. The only thing on her mind was Inu-Yasha. This monster had hurt Inu-Yasha.
She hacked on it until with one final blood-curling scream the demonit died.
Kagome lowered the sword, panting. She looked down at her creation of green
gore and red flesh and felt nothing. Only exhaustion.
She turned to Inu-Yasha, still unconscious. Was he dead? She half ran, half
stumbled to where he lay pinned to the tree. He looked dead.
But he was like this before.
Tentatively, as if he might bite, she touched one slime covered hand to his
cheek. He was so cold.
Was he so cold before?
She couldn't remember.
"Inu-Yasha..." She could feel tears brimming in her eyes. "Inu-Yasha!"
She tried to take out the arrow but fatigue and emotional drainage made her
weak.
She had to get the arrow out.
She looked around for Miroku. The monk had rushed to Sango's side and was
checking to make sure she was ok. He was cradling her head in his arms, a
concerned look on his face. Seeing Kagome's glance he smiled weakly, "Lady
Sango will be fine." He said reassuringly. She just got stunned."
As if on cue, Sango's eyes fluttered open. Seeing that the monk was so close
she got the wrong idea and slapped him on reflex.
She stood up, somewhat shakily and glared daggers at the monk, "Taking advantage
of me while I'm unconscious! You have no shame!"
Kagome stepped in for the monk, "he was only making sure you were allright!"
Sango looked at Miroku skeptically, but decided to let the subject drop.
She turned to Kagome, "what about Inu-Yasha? Is he alright?
Kagome felt her heart drop, "I don't know. I think the arrows got a spell on
it, just like when Kikyo shot him but I can't pull it out. I need you guys to help me."
She felt something pull on her pant leg, Shippo looked up at her with tears in his
eyes. "Kagome? Inu-Yasha's not going to die, is he?"
Kagome tried to smile, "I don't know Shippo"
The group walked back over to the tree Inu-Yasha was pinned to and with their
combined strength mange to get the arrow out. Free of the arrow, the hanyou slumped towards
the ground. Kagome caught him and held him close.
"Inu-Yasha?"
The half demon didn't move.
"Inu-Yasha!?"
Is he… Dead?
No, he couldn't be! Kagome had seen him take way worse than this and not even flinch!
How could an arrow-?
"INU-YASHA WAKE UP GODDAMIT!!!!!"
The hanyou stayed still.
Kagome could feel the tears glistening in her eyes. She pressed her face into his
fire rat kimono and cried.
"Oi wench, why are you crying?"
Kagome looked down at the hanyou in her arms. His bright amber eyes were no
longer closed but looking at her questioningly.
"Inu-Yasha! Your alive!"
Kagome hugged him, thanking whatever gods looked out for hanyous and
reincarnated shrine maidens.
Inu-Yasha pulled himself out of Kagome's death grip and stood up unsteadily.
He looked at what was left of the demon and feh'ed.
"If I hadn't thought she was you I would've toasted her at the start."
Kagome opened her mouth to speak but Sango intervened, "that's not fair
Inu-Yasha! Kagome saved all our lives just now! You should be thanking her!"
Inu-Yasha feh'ed again and turned his back to them. It took a moment for
Kagome to understand. Being shot with an arrow again had brought back painful
memories for him and he was using anger to mask them.
"Inu-Yasha…" she started to step towards him but stopped. He surprised her
when he spoke again.
"That demon was very powerful, admittedly, but it wasn't alone. It was sent."
"By who?" Miroku asked, "Naraku?"
Inu-Yasha shook his head, "I would have smelt it."
"Sesumaru?" Kagome suggested.
Inu-Yasha shook his head again, "No, my brother doesn't own anyone so
powerful." Her said brother like someone would say a swearword. Kagome sighed,
knowing that the half demon's family was even more dysfunctional up than her own.
"Then who? " Sango asked, "another demon?"
"Oh great, just what we need!" Shippo cried in dismay, "someone else trying to
kill us!"
Kagome patted the kitsune reassuringly, "Do you think so?" she asked Inu-Yasha.
The half demon shrugged, "Wish I knew."
"well i'm glad your ok." She smiled
Inu-yasha shruuged and feh'ed.
But kagome knew that he was glad too.
