The Bargain of a Lifetime: Chapter 10 The Night of the Calm and the Day of the Battle
On the way to battle, there was an eerie calm, there was no turning back. They had noticed the demon spies as they were traveling, that is why they had Shippo make some illusionary disguises. Sesshoumaru, obviously pissed that they were traveling in disguised, realized the reason, unless they killed the leader, they would be attacked by a precision force. After several days of walking it was dark agian, and they had stumbled upon a village and decided to take a rest. As it happens there were no spies in the area, not even any demons besides the ones in their party, so they just walked into town.
As they then realized why there were no demons in that town, Sesshoumaru, Inu-Yasha, Kilala, and Shippo were then weakened considerably. Then and only then, did Kagome see the barrier and Miroku notice it. As they pulled the demons out of the barrier, monks and a number of miko started swarming inside the barrier at them. Now it was Kagome and Miroku's job to explain the group. The barrier the two put up was just as strong as the barrier that protected the town, realizing this, the townsfolk approached them cautiously and curiously.
"We are not your enemies." Said Miroku, agreeing Kagome then said, "We mean you no harm." As the people of the town let them and the demons in they had weakened the barrier around them. "So what brings you to this fine town" said some villagers, Inu-Yasha replied, "They wanted a break, and besides, we need a place to attack the demons from." Then Shippo released the spell that disguised them. As though fate had a decided to have a little fun, people started to recognize Inu-Yasha as the hanyou, that when transformed, destroyed entire countryside, everyone had been petrified.
"Don't worry as long as I have my sword, the Tetsusiaga, I can't transform." Said the hanyou as he turned around "And besides, she has these beads around my neck that can stop me from doing things." Shocked, the townsfolk asked how beads could stop a hanyou. "Kagome, no matter how much you have the urge I'm allowing you to say it only once. Kagome shocked, realizing why decided to have a little fun, "You asked for it, SIT BOY!" As the beads glowed around his neck, he was plummeted face down in the dirt. Kagome then added, "If what I think is correct than any miko could do it, and Inu-Yasha" As she then looked at him, "Please don't give anyone a reason to sit you..." Boom and Inu-Yasha was face down in the dirt again.
When they were done getting ready, Shippo put the disguises back on everyone, and they headed off into a large plain where millions of demons were gathered. What they then saw messed up their plan as demons, which were challenging each other, were dodging arrows from each other. They had eliminated some of the advantages they had, "Our swords would be they best attack at this point. Besides, I don't think that the fox demon with us could even create enough illusions." Annoyed, Shippo threatened that his illusions would be the only thing that would be destroyed.
As they reached the area around the head demon, they noticed that there was an illusion barrier around him. While they listened in on what the demon was saying they heard that only a few demons had mastered dodging ranged attacks, but all the demons had trained to be decent at it. On top of it, not all the demons were even a threat, most were just targets for range attacks. Obviously word had spread out because they new that they were facing the group that had destroyed Naraku. Thinking of something, Sesshoumaru then asked, "What is your name?" The head demon replied "Granger, and you are?" Grinning, Sesshoumaru replied, "I am Sesshoumaru, Lord of the western lands, and you are dead." Sesshoumaru then swung and cut him in half.
With the head demon gone, Shippo released the illusions and they started to kill the surprised demons, as they started to attack. "You find this fun Sesshoumaru?" Replying coolly, "Of course brother, why shouldn't I?" As demons almost swarmed them Inu-Yasha smirked and released the Tetsusiaga's most powerful attack the Wind Scar. As the attack charged the demons, countless amounts of demons were destroyed. Was this really the best idea Kagome thought only to be pushed aside as she fired another arrow, purifying demons at great range.
