midori mizo? I AM REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY SORRY FOR TAKING
SO LONG! THANK YOU FOR REVIEWING! YOU ARE MY FIRST REVIEW! Ya really think
it's so good? Do you have any pointers?
Surprised about my little "Kagura's pov thing?" Or Naraku's? I did say that I would be doing all of the characters..
Now, time for a little catching up. I'm sorry, but almost all of this chapter will be devoted to the action around Inu, because I have to get this next bit done in order to get on with the plot. I got a bit ahead of myself with the whole thing, but I promise that I will give you more Sess/Kag next chapter if you review!
Chapter 5: Of Wounds and Weapons
~.~.~.~.~.Inuyasha
My mind was in turmoil. Kagome would never join Naraku. Never! So why was she saying that she had? She hated him as much as the rest of us did-or, at least, she had in the past. Had I acted so badly that she had turned on my to hurt me, no matter who her allies were so long as they too hated me? But that made no sense! No more then the rest of it.
She couldn't have gone over to Naraku. It just was not her! But if she hadn't, why had she shot me? And if she had joined them. why now? There were other times that would have been much more likely, like all those times with Kikyo, and yet she had remained loyal then. So why?
I watched the blades of air rip toward me as if in a dream. The only reason that I was not sliced'n'diced was Miroku ran up next to me and sucked all of the deadly breezes into his hand, whipping the rosary beads back around his wrist immediately after as to avoid hurting anything or one else. Like Kagome.
"Kagome! I will give you one last chance! Leave here, do not side with Naraku! If you choose to, then you will die with him and his other allies."
Kagome snorted derisively in perfect syncronation with Kagura. A suspician began to creep into my mind, but I shoved it aside. 'Don't be stupid Inu yasha. There's no way. That has been proven more then once by now. Stop grabbing at excuses.'
"Miroku, do you really think that Kanna has no souls in her mirror?" Kagome sneered, a disgusted look on her face.
Miroku hesitated a second before answering, wearing a pained look. Whatever he was feeling, it couldn't be half so bad as what I was. My heart had been ripped from my chest and thrown across the road, where it had been stomped on unmercifully.
"There cannot be too many, and anything is better then eternal imprisonment."
Kagura rolled her eyes. "Caring little creatures you humans, aren't you? Would you change your attitude if I told you that the person being held in there is not just faceless person that you have never known and never will?"
"What are you talking about?!"
"Me."
~.~.~.~.~.Sesshoumaru
When the little human girl did the thing that few dared to do and fewer lived through, I, for once in my long life, was stunned. That she would have such nerve simultaneously enraged and intrigued me. I decided that I needed to find out the capabilities of this female.
I growled softly and smiled inside at her reaction. She was backing up slowly and feeling for her bow. Smart move. She knew that I would almost defiantly kill her for being so insolent and she knew that she would have no chance of defending herself without a weapon. 'Good thinking girl, smart move.' I allowed my yokai to flow through me, making my markings that declared I was Taiyoukai of the Western Lands glow softly and my entire form to be encased in a light green glow. Her eyes widened before hardening and she began glowing a radiant blue-white in return.
A drop of water balanced on the end of a leaf for a few seconds before falling toward earth.
Instantly I flashed forward and slashed at her with my claws, poison on each tip. A blue-white katana that came from nowhere whistled through the air to block my arm and force me back, simultaneously weakening the limb (Oh, and Sesshoumaru has both of his arms for now as this is his soul that we are talking about) and dissolving my poison with the miko energy. Immediately after she followed through, slashing at the same arm. The strike was a bit off-a fact for which I was glad-but she managed to slice the bottom bit of me sleeve off.
My eyes widened. She was good. Much better then I would have expected her to be.
The drop of water hit the ground with a soft splash.
~.~.~.~.~.Inu yasha
I started, my eyes approaching the size of dinner plates. She had Kagome's soul. So then she had control of Kagome. So nothing that Kagome had said or done recently had been Kagome, it had been Kagura. Which meant that she was just using her control over Kagome to torture me.
Why that-
~.~.~.~.~.Kagura
I smiled, my eyes beginning to glow a soft red with my bloodlust as the dog began to get more and more enraged. Ah, at last. Inuyasha was back in his normal fighting style. He would move now.
He lept towards me, flailing Tetsusaiga wildly. Kagome-or, rather, her body- of course, jumped in front of me, shielding me from any possible attacks that the hanyou could throw at me. He swerved away, sheathing his sword again as soon as he saw the human barrier. My smile broadened. Good people are so easy to manipulate.
And now for a little fun.
I straightened my fan, opened my mouth and, "Dance of the Drag-"
Kagura, do not fight. Come back to the cave.
"What?! WHY?! I could finish them all off now!"
My heart squeezed painfully and I dropped to writhe like a snake on the ground, my hand on my chest where my heart would be if not for that thief Naraku.
I do not need you to "get rid of all of them." None of them but that girl are a bother. Bring her with you. I have some rather special plans for her.
"Take the girl? But that-"
My heart tightened like steel bonds were around it again.
"Fine." I snapped bad temperedly, climbing back onto my feet. "Curse you, Naraku." I whispered, then doubled over, clutching at my chest again.
Good. Hurry.
I pulled a feather from my hair and threw it on the ground in front of me, a small whirlwind dancing up where it landed. When it finally cleared, there was a giant feather, which was identical to the smaller one in every aspect but size, lying in front of me. I climbed and kneeled, a suit followed rapidly by Kanna and the girl.
The (ehem) rather unique form of transport rose into the air and drifted toward the clouds.
************* As always, I love you, I want to update the story, but for me to do that, I need a review. Just one mind you, but I want one review-per-chapter. At least.
