Hey everyone I'm back again with another edition of Freaky Feudal Era.
Before we begin the chapter I have a quick question. I really don't want to
embarrass anyone and I do admit that it is a common error that occurs quite
frequently when people see the name "Killabri". Many people mistake me for
a female and I am thoroughly confused as to why that is so. Ok maybe it
isn't the best pen name or gaming name, but this question has been nagging
me for a long time. I would really appreciate it if someone would explain
the reasoning behind the mistake. On top of this I have realized that I am
an evil person. Many of the reviews I received told me that cliff hangers
are not looked upon very well with the majority. Tough luck =). I'm most
likely going to be using them in my future stories/chapters so there! Well
sorry to keep you from the next sequence of events so I'll stop here.
Chapter 12: Race Against Time
Inuyasha paused in the center of the road that led away from the village. "How the hell am I supposed to find Naraku?" he complained to himself. "There has to be a way otherwise Kagome won't live."
Miroku, Sango, Kirara, and Shippo caught up to Inuyasha.
"Come on Inuyasha!" Shippo yelled jumping up and down. "We don't have time to stand around lets go!"
"And where do you suppose we look first Shippo?" Inuyasha asked with a snarl.
This silenced the kitsune who glumly stared at the ground.
"Inuyasha." Miroku said approaching the half demon. "You are the only person capable of locating Naraku. You have to try and sense the Shikon no Tama.
"That's right!" Inuyasha said surprised "If I find the Jewel then Naraku will be there as well."
At this Inuyasha closed his eyes in concentration. He cleared his mind of all distractions as he probed the landscape with every ounce of his ability, desperately searching for the only clue that the group had.
"Ah hah!" Inuyasha shouted. "I can barely sense it, but the jewel is most definitely in that direction." He said pointing to the East.
"All right then. We have no time to lose." Sango announced. "We will have to ride on Kirara's back in order to get to Naraku in the fastest means possible."
The youkai transformed and everyone piled on top of her back. With a grunt of exertion the demon leaped into the air heading East. The riders desperately grabbed onto any handhold within reach to avoid falling off. The wind whipped around them as the group traveled. It seemed that nature itself could sense the gravity of the situation as the sky had turned dark.
"We're getting close!" Inuyasha yelled over the thrashing of the wind. "In fact it's right over. . . THERE!"
Kirara landed upon the dirt and the warriors hastily slid off her back. In front of them was their destination. The target consisted of a huge stone wall that enclosed a large courtyard and a castle that could only be found in fairy tales. The ramparts rose high into the sky, and torches burned brightly casting an eerie light upon the setting.
Thunder shattered the ominous silence as water began to trickle from the heavens. Soon it turned into a downpour and lightning flashed, briefly illuminating the surroundings before fading back to black.
Kirara let out a low growl.
"So you are here at last." A voice said from the shadows. Another bolt of lightning sliced through the air once again revealing the depths of the darkness. Naraku stepped out from a corridor. Shirtless he stood with the complete Jewel in his left hand.
"Naraku!" Inuyasha roared.
"Yes it is I, Naraku. I knew you would come to save your beloved, Inuyasha. Your type is too predictable. But how long has it taken for you to find me? An hour? I wonder how much longer the miko can survive."
Inuyasha gritted his teeth and glared at his enemy. "You will die for what you have done." He said as he armed his bow.
Naraku merely smiled and turning to Sango he taunted her. "It's too bad that you could not save your little brother huntress. However, let it be known that right before I removed the shard from his back, Kohaku's memories returned and the last word to leave his lips was your name."
Tears welled in the exterminator's eyes as she coped with her failure. However, a look of determination overcame her features as she readied Hiraikotsu.
"Finally, the monk and the Kitsune." Naraku said addressing the final members of the party who bristled and prepared for action. "Soon I will relieve you of your curse monk and you of the memories of your dead loved ones Shippo."
"The only way that this hole in my hand shall vanish is when I suck your being into its confines." Miroku confidently stated.
Shippo stared back defiantly. "I won't be easy prey for you. I'll use every one of my tricks to bring you down."
Naraku's expression became even darker. "Very well it is time. I refrained from using the Jewel so that I could see your faces at the moment when I am granted its unlimited power." The demon raised his hand into the air. The Shikon no Tama had turned a dark color resembling the miasma that the evil one constantly used. The corrupt jewel was held aloft for a moment before Naraku plunged it deep into his forehead.
From the wound a stream of miasma spouted forth and began circling the figure of its origin. Through the poisonous cloud a horrendous transformation was taking place. The tattoo upon Naraku's back pulsated and sank into his flesh. Hundreds of teeth sprouted and Naraku grew huge, easily one hundred feet in height. He sprouted 3 new pairs of arms that ended in razor sharp claws. Numerous eyes popped up over his body and seemed to read our heroes' very souls. The being's skin hardened and became like steel from head to foot. A tail erupted from his flesh and sprouted a stinger that dripped with Naraku's patented miasma.
"The power!" Naraku shouted. "I can feel it pulsating through every vein of my body." Turning towards the small group in front of him bared his abundant supply of teeth in a hideous grin and asked "How do you like me now?"
Ok I lied. I don't really know EXACTLY how I will end the fight but I'm sure that when I'm spontaneously writing the next chapter something will come to me. This one was written just to set up the mood for the final battle. Hehehe I'm horrible like that. Any ways thanks for the reviews everyone, especially Mangolious Kiwi who has reviewed all but two of the chapters and InuShemeeko who has reviewed all but three of the chapters. I really enjoyed reading everything that everyone has had to say and I thank you for taking the time to write to me about my story. The next chapter I will wrap up the fight and Kagome's life/death? Hang in there everyone.
