Chapter 4 The Demon Puppet
* * * * *
Inuyasha got to the village within moments. He looked around frantically. Many homes were burned to the ground. He knew what caused this. Inuyasha's instincts told him it was Jaken's staff. Two heads rested upon it and the head of an old man that blew fire was Jaken's protection and demolition tool.
Inuyasha listened closely, trying to overhear the painful cries of the people. And he heard it. Sesshoumaru's unmerciful laugh. He pushed off the ground with such force; he glided over half the town, landing right before his half brother.
Sesshoumaru's claws glowed with his deadly poison. "Ready to take a lesson, worthless half bred?" he sneered.
Inuyasha unsheathed the Tetsaiga, it transformed into the huge fang with a glow of gold light. The hanyou held it before him, his head down. "I'm giving you a fair warning, Sesshoumaru; leave in one piece, or stay in three. I haven't the time for you." He raised his head, an evil grin upon his face, showing sharp incisors.
* * * * *
Kagome dropped to the ground beside Miroku. He was still alive, his breaths shallow but continuous. Kagome let out a breath and then took control. "Sango, take Miroku on Kirara and bring him to Kaede. Sunoar, come with me." Kirara transformed into her demon form and Sango pulled Miroku onto the youkai's back with her. They took off into the skies.
Kagome and Sunoar ran towards the village.
* * * * *
Inuyasha spun around, thrusting the Tetsaiga towards Sesshoumaru but he was too slow and the youkai turned, slashing out with his claws. The two fought atop the roofs, Inuyasha wasn't getting many hits on Sesshoumaru but on the bright side, he was dodging most of his half-brother's attacks as well.
Kagome and Sunoar ran through panicked crowds and Kagome spotted the two sparring before Sunoar. She rose up her hand, about to release one of the powers she knew she held to hit Sesshoumaru but a hand covered her mouth and another grabbed her arm, twisting it behind her back painfully. She screamed but it was slightly muffled.
Inuyasha's ear twitched back, now aware of Kagome. He turned when he found her scent. She was in trouble. He saw her on the ground. Her mouth was covered by a hand and her hand tried to move it but her other arm was positioned behind her in a stronghold. Sunoar held her tight. "Kagome!"
The hanyou crouched down and jumped from the roof, aiming for the ground before them but his ankle was caught by something and he was yanked back, being thrown into a hut.
Kagome stilled, watching in horror as the dust fell and settled. Quickly, her mind told her to keep fighting. She opened her mouth, letting her sharp fangs sink into the soft flesh of Sunoar's hand. The youkai let out an outraged yell, letting her loose. Kagome spun around, facing the Sun-Lion. Her breath was ragged and fast from fighting him off but it was needed.
Sunoar smirked at her, lowering his wounded hand. It healed up in an instant. Kagome watched him then yelled "Nani o shiyagare, temee!?" He jumped forward, a ball of fire forming in his hands.
She ducked, skirting to the side, keeping her head turned towards Sunoar and her eyes focused. A fist collided with her stomach and she fell forward but an arm wrapped around her middle, holding her off her knees. She coughed; blood seeped from the corner of her mouth and she looked behind her shoulder. Sesshoumaru held her.
Kagome jumped up, trying to ignore the shooting pain in her gut as she reached her hand up to attack Sesshoumaru in the face with her sharp claws. His hand caught her wrist in the same moment. His other hand was holding the small of her back. His golden eyes looked from her wrist with her spread out fingers, ready to strike, to her own eyes.
Kagome caught her breath, her determined and angry look on her face vanishing and being replaced by fear.
Sesshoumaru suppressed a chuckle. He liked the way her frightened her.
Kagome's voice let out in a hiss, "No baka."
Sesshoumaru stared into her eyes, a look of sorrow almost forming. Ah well, what a waste of a bishoujo. Kagome narrowed her eyes and brought up her knee, trying to knee him in the stomach but he pushed her away, crouching in a stance to fight.
Kagome caught a streak of silver and red behind Sesshoumaru and she knew he also sensed Inuyasha. She encouraged herself, Ganbatte, Inuyasha will do the rest. She crouched into a defensive position, watching as Inuyasha quietly jumped from roof to roof and unsheathed the Tetsaiga.
"Die, bastard..." The hanyou swept the sword at Sunoar but the demon dodged each attack.
Kagome turned on her heel only to see a waiting Sesshoumaru grin at her. It only brought down her confidence.
She scowled and ran forward, her hand outstretched. She knew where Sesshoumaru was going to go from watching all his battles with Inuyasha so she pushed off to the right the very second Sesshoumaru did but she slammed into a solid object. Sesshoumaru formed a barrier in front of her to stop her.
She grumbled, getting up. But Sunoar was beside her in a moment. She looked behind her only to see Inuyasha lying deep in a crater. She let out a breath, calming herself. She couldn't react fast enough to stop the youkai's fist from punching her hard in the stomach which brought her crumbling to her knees.
She groaned and she felt Sesshoumaru haul her to her feet and place a hand over her mouth. She tried to scream but only let Sesshoumaru accomplish his intentions. The green gassy poison seeped from the youkai's hand and into her lungs. Gomen, my friends, Kagome thought, using the last of the control of her mind to apologize mentally to her friends.
* * * * *
Shadows seemed to cross over the unconscious face of the young girl tied and gagged at the base of an old tree. Sesshoumaru stood still, leaning against another tree, thoroughly bored. Sunoar stared at Kikyo's soul stealers as they eerily floated around the clearing, letting white orbs fall towards the priestess.
Kikyo paced back and forth, carrying her bow beside her. Suddenly she stopped, muttering under her breath as she made her way to the form of Kagome. "Stupid girl. A worthless waste of my time. You'll be gone soon and I won't have to worry about you interfering with my affairs!" Kikyo bent over a little, backhanding Kagome harshly across the face. Sunoar and Sesshoumaru winced slightly.
Kagome's eyes fluttered open then seeing who was above her let out a frightened shriek. She tried to thrust her hands to the ground before her to push off and escape but found they were tied and couldn't get her feet freed either which caused her to come crashing to the ground.
Kikyo watched her struggle then still and she rose up her leg, kicking Kagome onto her back and placing her foot on the middle of Kagome's stomach, applying a small amount of pressure there.
"Kagome, you have interfered with my plans one too many times and now..." Kikyo raised her bow, placing an arrow on the string, "you will die." But instead of aiming and hitting Kagome's heart, she turned up the bow, letting the arrow loose in Kagome's right shoulder.
Kagome tried screaming out, her muffled cries of pain ringing throughout the clearing. Blood seeped from her new wound, making a crimson stain on her once white dress. Hot tears slipped down her face from her eyes which were shut tightly.
"Oh, gomen, Kagome-sama," Kikyo sneered, "Did that hurt?" Kikyo took another arrow from her quiver on her back, placing it on the string, drew it then released. The arrow hit Kagome's right shoulder again, only two inches from the first.
And again, Kagome cried out in pain. Blood was starting to pool around her right shoulder and Kagome was feeling the effects of blood loss. Kagome took in a sharp breath but Kikyo leaned forward, placing pressure on Kagome's stomach with her foot. Kagome groaned, wanting to crawl in a hole and die but she was determined to stay. No matter what Kikyo did to her.
Kikyo, now satisfied that she had caused Kagome suffering, let her foot up and walked over to Sunoar. "If she moves a muscle, kill her."
Kagome winced as she felt the warm sticky blood start to roll down the middle of her chest, leaving a long trail all the way to her stomach.
* * * * *
The night air ripped past the hanyou, the youkai and the demon slayer. Inuyasha darted between trees, occasionally jumping high into their branches to try to find the scent of Kagome, the reincarnation of Kikyo.
"Inuyasha, are we getting any closer?" Sango talked quietly, for the hanyou could hear her fine.
Inuyasha's ears went back as if in a scowl, "I smell her, but I smell too much of her," He thought quietly for a moment, turning words over in his mind then he responded again "She's bleeding."
Sango glanced up at Inuyasha from Kirara's back as they made their way swiftly through the forest. "Are you sure?" Her voice was barely muffled from the mask over her nose and mouth.
Inuyasha responded with some hesitation, "Positive."
* * * * *
Kikyo had left the clearing as well as Sesshoumaru. He had gotten bored. Kikyo had contacted him, asking him if he wanted to rid himself of Kagome. He accepted. But now that he knew his work was finished with helping, he left, returning back to the Western lands.
Only Sunoar stayed and Kagome wondered why. He had seemed so nice and caring at first, maybe that's why she had trusted him. He was loyal. Yeah, loyal to Kikyo. She huffed, only causing a stabbing pain in her shoulder. The arrows had slowly dimmed from her mind but each time she made the slightest fraction of a movement, the shooting pain came rushing back.
Kagome made a slight groan, not really meaning for it to become vocal. She caught Sunoar's attention. The demon was sitting on the ground, sharpening a dagger but he flipped it, tucking it into a hidden spot near his ankle. He got up and walked over to where Kagome lay still.
"Are you in pain?" He asked the question without much worry as if it really didn't concern him. He removed the rag that was tied around her head as a gag.
Kagome sniffed but winced, her head now throbbing. "What do you think?" It was barely a whisper for it hurt to take the breath to speak.
Sunoar shrugged as if it was no big deal to be shot by two arrows while tied and gagged on the ground. "I could relieve you."
Kagome's eyes shot to him without even moving her head for he stood just above her. "Would you?" Her voice was just a bit hopeful and she pushed the memo of chewing him out later for betraying her.
Sunoar knelt down beside her on one knew, grasping the arrow with one hand and placing his other hand on her upper arm to keep her body down. Kagome took in a sharp breath. Sunoar looked at her then back at the arrow. In one fluid motion, he turned the arrow a quarter inch counter-clockwise and yanked it from her shoulder. Kagome let out a cry, tears welling in her eyes as she shut them hard.
"Are you alright?"
"Just get it out." Kagome was desperate, she knew it would hurt to the high heavens but it was worth it just to get those unholy arrows of Kikyo's out of her body.
Sunoar nodded, his face still expressionless. He dropped the first arrow to the ground then placed his hand on her shoulder, covering the first wound and wrenched the stone tip and shaft from her flesh.
Kagome just squeezed her eyes shut, her hands behind her back balling her hands into fists and biting her lower lip.
Sunoar got up, taking both arrows with him and simply chucked them to the base of another tree.
She lay on the ground, her breath rough and quick. Kagome wanted to just crawl into a little hole and die. She opened her eyes to find Sunoar sitting cross-legged beside her with a ripped piece of cobalt blue cloth balled up on her shoulder. He lifted the collar of her shirt, inserting the now folded fabric over her wounds then placed a hand on top, putting pressure to stop the bleeding.
"Sunoar..." Kagome whispered, still afraid to move since Kikyo had told the demon to kill her if she did.
The Sun-Lion looked at her, his face still expressionless.
"Sunoar, what do you care?" She shot it at him but still kept her voice to a minimum.
Sunoar leaned back, one hand on the ground, another on his knee. "It's a complicated story."
Kagome narrowed her eyes. "I have all the time in the world." She said it as if saying Obviously.
Sunoar nodded and started, "I was a simple Sun-Lion youkai from the East and I lived off destroying small villages and towns. I soon found a young priestess, Kikyo, following me," His eyes seemed a little downcast, "I got annoyed from her stalking me and one day, I sought her out of the forest. I fought her and it seemed I was winning but somehow, she knocked me out and I found myself under her... influence." He brought up his hand before his face as if seeing it for the first time.
Kagome watched him. Influence? "What do you mean, influence?"
"Sunoar placed his hand back on his knee and continued on, "I can't harm her and everything I do must be commanded by her. I can't even move if she tells me not to. She has to be specific."
Kagome thought his words over and it suddenly came to her, Kikyo was using him as her puppet. But before she could say anything, something came bursting out of the forest.
Kagome recognized the red blur as Inuyasha which went right for Sunoar. Sunoar stood up then disappeared, Inuyasha in his place, looking around for him. The larger form was Sango riding Kirara. Sango hopped off from the demon's back, landing silently next to Kagome.
"Sango." Kagome breathed thru clenched teeth.
"Kagome, lay still, we're getting you out of here." Sango Pulled Kagome up, untied her bondage and helped her onto Kirara.
Kagome knew what Sunoar had done. He had betrayed Kikyo's control on him and left. Where he went and what he did, Kagome would never know.
"He's gone, Inuyasha." Kagome looked at the hanyou who was searching all over the clearing. Sango jumped onto Kirara's back in front on Kagome and Inuyasha sprung from the trees, landing quietly behind Kagome so she wouldn't fall on their way back.
The youkai, the hanyou and the two humans took off into the skies, returning back to Kaede's village.

ooc| Phew, it took me a while to type this one out. Sorry people, I was offered a Mustang gelding from Iowa and some friend's of my mom's bought him for me so we went to pick him up today, 2-28, and we got him in the trailer fine then he tried to lay down! He then tried jumping out of the little door in the front. Even I can barely fit through it. o.O Poor little guy. He scratched himself up some when I tried to get him out and he got stuck. -.- Just GREAT!
We're not taking him now because I finally realized that he'll most likely end up jumping OUR fences and give my yearling Appaloosa, Tigger, bad habits. -sigh- Maybe it's better off that Tigger bonds with me instead of another horse. This really got out of hand. The Mustang's sick too. Too bad, I really would have gone far with him in competition. Oh well, I guess it just wasn't meant to be.
Ok! Please review! ^_^ Ja!
