Chapter 15: Rain the Youkai!
Kagome gasped and put her hand to her mouth. "Oh my God no!" she cried. Sango jumped up and ran for the trees "Miroku!" she called over her shoulder. "Lets go." He was only a few steps behind her as they vanished into the trees. Inuyasha sniffed the air. Damn it those things don't leave a scent." "Damn their scent!" Seven growled and drew his katana from the case. "Find Rain." Inuyasha sniffed for a moment. "I got her!" he ran for the woods. "Kagome come on!" Kagome blinked. "Right." She started after him. Seven stood for a moment feeling the surroundings, something wasn't right, he could smell Rain but it wasn't quite Rain. Then it hit him. "Damn them all to hell" he cursed and started to run.
He caught up to Inuyasha fairly quickly. Kagome was on his back and he had his spare hand on the hilt of the Tetsusaiga. "Were close." He called over to Seven. "She's just up ahead." Seven nodded and slowed down as they approached a clearing. They then knew why the scent of Rain was so muffled. The Clearing held over forty vampires. They were all dressed in black cloaks with the hoods drawn foreword. They stood in a semicircle facing Seven, Kagome, and Inuyasha. At the center of the clearing was a stone altar. Rain was spread out unconscious on its black surface. Behind her stood yet another vampire; this one however was different. Its dark cloak was throne back and his white hair rose and fell around his head as if blown by an unnatural wind. "Welcome Inuyasha!" he called "come foreword, I can feel you." Inuyasha gently put Kagome down and stepped from the trees. "Who the hell are you?" he called now with both hands on the Tetsusaiga, ready to fight. "My name is of no consequence to you, all you need to know is that it is time to die." Inuyasha smiled. "Your welcome to try me old man but you might as well dig your grave first cause I'm sure as hell not doing it." The old man laughed. "Foolish little Hanyou do you think Naraku sent us after you if he thought we would loose? You have much to learn. Your pitiful windscar has no effect on us." Inuyasha growled. "You wanna find out old man." Seven stepped out of the trees "he's right." Inuyasha jumped " what the hell do you mean by that?" Seven didn't turn his gaze from the altar. "Vampires can only be killed in two ways, the first is a stab through the heart." Inuyasha nodded and the second." Seven drew his sword " the second is a spell known as the Blood letting, it drains them of their power and turns them to dust." The Vampire next to the altar smiled. "Amazing that a mere mortal knows of the Kazal nakor but it will do you no good here." He reached down and touched Rains forehead. "Awake my child."
Rain gasped as if being hit with cold water. She sat up slowly and looked around the clearing. "Where am I?" she moaned softly rubbing her eyes. "You are newly awakened my daughter." Rain looked at the old vampire "yes father." She stood and looked over at Seven and Inuyasha "who are these men father." The elder vampire smiled at Seven "these are very bad men daughter, would you please kill them for me?" Rain smiled revealing elongated teeth. "With pleasure father." The vampire started to laugh. "Enjoy fools." Then in a cloud of dark smoke he and the rest of the vampires vanished.
Rain stood facing Inuyasha and Seven. Both men were staring in disbelief at Rain. Rain the vampire. Inuyasha looked at Seven who was starring at Rain. "Hey what the hell are we going to do about this?" Seven frowned, there is only one thing to do." He ripped his shirt in half and pulled it off. "I'm going to be out of commission as a fighter as a while so I'm going to need you to watch my back." Kagome burst out of the woods "Seven what are you doing?" Seven threw the torn shirt on the ground. "The only way to save her is to make her drink my blood. The dragons blood will work as a temporary cure but it wont last." He started to walk towards her. "You better take good care of us." Inuyasha nodded. "You can count on that." Seven smiled. Kagome started for him. "You idiot your going to get yourself killed." Inuyasha stopped her by grabbing her wrist. "Don't worry Kagome I think I know what he's doing." Kagome stared at Inuyasha; tears were in her eyes "but, Seve.." Inuyasha put a clawed finger to her lips. "Don't worry." He smiled "trust me." Kagome nodded and took his arm. She stood next to him and watched Seven walk towards Rain.
As Seven drew close Rain started to laugh. "You come willingly to be food? Foolish mortal. So be it." She ran to Seven catching his head in her hands. She wrenched it to the side and dug her fangs into his neck. Slowly he brought his arms around her. Blood started to flow from his body to hers. "Rain," he whispered. "Can you hear me?" Rain ignored him and continued to feed. "Don't die." Then he toppled backward holding Rain to him. He hit the ground hard; Rain separated from his neck and collapsed as well. Inuyasha and Kagome ran for their fallen friends. "Damn it Seven." Inuyasha growled. They reached the fallen pair to find Rain crying. "Seven?" she whispered through her tears. "What have I done?" she looked up at Inuyasha and Kagome. "What happened to me? I couldn't control myself, and now," she looked down at Seven. "gods what have I done?" Kagome put a hand on Rain's shoulder. "Its ok, it wasn't your fault." She helped up the crying girl. Inuyasha knelt and felt Seven for a pulse, nothing. "Damn it you moron." He slapped Seven "wake up."
Seven moaned. "Did you have to hit me so hard?" he asked rubbing his face. Inuyasha smiled and started to laugh, then just as quickly he growled and started to yell. "You baka what the hell do you think your doing you had Kagome worried sick." Seven smiled just help me up you sorry excuse for a friend." Inuyasha smiled. "Just don't you dare tell anybody I was being nice." Seven rolled his eyes. "You stubborn jack ass, sometimes I wonder how the hell you've managed to net a girl like Kagome." Inuyasha smiled and looked over at the two girls. "Sometimes I wonder that myself."
They made their way over to Kagome and Rain. "Hey Rain." Inuyasha called "you can stop crying now, you didn't quite kill him." Rain looked up with a tear stained face. She caught sight of Seven and broke out of Kagome's arms "Seven!" she cried running for him. She ran to him and buried her face in his chest. "I'm so sorry." She cried. Seven put his spare arm around her. "Its ok Rain, you weren't in control." She looked up at him "I know but it was me, I could have killed you." Seven rubbed her back comfortingly. "Not likely, but I am not as well as id like to be." She smiled and hugged him tighter. Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Man you sure cry a lot." Kagome glared at him. "It's only an observation." He said defensively. She motioned with her hand to Seven. "You better back away. Seven nodded. Inuyasha threw back his head. "Not this again." "SIT!" SLAM!
Kagome gasped and put her hand to her mouth. "Oh my God no!" she cried. Sango jumped up and ran for the trees "Miroku!" she called over her shoulder. "Lets go." He was only a few steps behind her as they vanished into the trees. Inuyasha sniffed the air. Damn it those things don't leave a scent." "Damn their scent!"
