Chapter 9
Demon Blood
Kagome had to blink several times before she could get her vision clear again.
The two warriors were still on their feet. Bloody and bruised, but alive.
Kagome didn't know whether or not to be overjoyed or to be devastated.
'What was that?!' Umoniku thought in disbelief. He had never imagined the force that the Tetsusaiga could issue forth! This power had to be put to a stop at once.
'He could have killed me! But his aim was thrown off by the poison in his bloodstream.' He glared at InuYasha, who seemed to be angry because Umoniku was not dead, but also not very surprised. As if he had been unsure that he would survive, unsure of his own strength.
'Damn!' InuYasha was barely clinging to consciousness; he could feel his grip on the Tetsusaiga beginning to loosen.
He tightened it again quickly.
'No . . . he survived the Wind Scar, Tetsusaiga's best attack!' He thought feverishly, he cringed in pain; 'I can barely feel my limbs!'
Kagome seeing his struggle, started towards him.
"Don't come any closer Kagome."
She was frozen by InuYasha rough voice.
"I don't want anything to happen to you. Stay back so you won't get hurt."
He glared back to the tiger demon with utter loathing.
"I'll finish this bastard off."
Pulling the Tetsusaiga back up to waist height, he felt dizzy, but didn't sway.
Kagome put one hand close to her chest.
She had a very bad feeling about this.
InuYasha leapt at his opponent slicing him across the chest. Umoniku jumped away, pulling out his own sword.
There was an earsplitting clang as the two swords collided in sparks.
Taking the upper hand on InuYasha, Umoniku thrust the hilt of his sword upward and threw the Tetsusaiga to the side. It flipped several times and then landed stuck in the ground, on the other side of the court. The soft glow of light that flared up and then died told them that it had transformed back.
"No . . ." InuYasha gasped; that had been his only hope left to him.
The sword came out of no where! Slicing deep across his chest, sending him flying backwards!
Umoniku laughed; Kagome gasped.
"Inu- . . . Yasha . . .!"
'I wouldn't have been able to survive another attack from his Wind Scar,' Umoniku thought, looking over to where InuYasha lay, his eyes glazed over.
'But without his little sword, he was easy enough to beat.'
He turned once again toward Kagome-
"What the-?!" He spun back around just in time to see a mess of white and red . . .
"ARRRRGGGGGHHH!!!"
Umoniku dove to the ground, barely escaping a fatal strike from the extremely sharp claws.
InuYasha landed in front of Kagome, his back turned to her. But she knew . . . in the way he moved, the way he breathed, his posture . . .
He had transformed.
InuYasha's once deep, enchanting amber eyes were now blood red and his pupils were intense, sky blue. There were purple, jagged streaks one on each cheek and his canines were longer, now maliciously visible over his bottom lip.
"So, Umoniku, you tried to kill me?"
He cracked his knuckles by flexing his claws.
"Well you're going to have to try harder then that."
Umoniku stepped back,
'What sorcery is this? He-he changed! He is no longer a half demon runt!' He locked eyes with InuYasha.
All that was left there was anger and hatred . . . and a need for blood.
InuYasha leapt at the tiger demon, making him scramble back.
Kagome closed her eyes and shook her head.
'No! No! No! Not again!'
The only way Kagome could stop InuYasha from his demon side was to 'sit' him. But if she did . . . Umoniku might kill him!
Umoniku tried to slice InuYasha with his sword, but it was useless. Umoniku had only one option. He had to use InuYasha's own weakness against him.
A snake demon slithered out from under the building closest to Kagome. Before she knew what was happening it had wrapped itself around her and had its sharp fangs bared and dripping deadly venom inches from her neck.
InuYasha grabbed the tiger demon by the neck of his shirt and was about to run him through with his needle sharp claws.
"STOP! You can't kill me!" Umoniku cried.
InuYasha huffed a sinister chuckle.
"Can't I?"
Umoniku sneered back.
"If you kill me . . . the girl will die."
InuYasha shot a furious look to his right, where Kagome stood, trembling slightly, with the demon wrapped around her.
"Do you think I care?" he huffed. But the look in Kagome's eyes wouldn't let him go. They were trembling with unshed tears, from fear.
For her and for him.
"InuYasha . . .!" she gasped; the fear mixing thickly with her scent.
InuYasha faltered,
'I don't have to time for her, I have to kill-!'
'You can't!' cried a voice in his head.
The demon shook it off.
'Shut up, human weakling!'
'I will not shut up, you monster! Now, go save Kagome!'
'Why should I?!'
'Because we care about her, that's why!!!'
'Stop!!!'
'KAGOME!!!'
Umoniku was dropped back onto the ground, panting for air. InuYasha dropped to his knees, his clawed hands on either side of his head.
"AAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!"
Kagome's eyes widened.
"InuYasha!" she cried, but not daring to move.
InuYasha's cries of anguish diminished to silence as rain began to fall lightly. His hands dropped down to his sides, his bangs covering his eyes from view.
"Your life for her life." Umoniku sneered, so quiet that only InuYasha heard.
There was a dreadful silence, only the sound of rain, quickening its pace slightly.
InuYasha looked up, his now amber eyes and soft features full of defeat and emotion . . . he opened his mouth to respond . . .
