*Smirks* I love leaving people at cliffhangers for a long time... Well, I am
currently at my grandparents' house and typing this chapter, since I don't
really have anything else to do. Well, I am learning 10 kanji a day right
now, so I know 120 at the moment... I guess that's nothing grrr8, but, hey,
leaf me alone- I'm only a gaijin. Oh... right... chapter writing ACTION!
Disclaimer: I don't own Inu-Yasha, m'kay? M'kay.
Just as Kagome was falling into the rushing river, she thought with a gasp, 'Inu-Yasha... He had... sacred jewel shards?'
(A/N: *Gasp* what was Inu-Yasha doing with the jewel shards? Maybe you'll find out if you read on and leave me a friggin' review! Those of you, who already review, thank you and please continue to review.)
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ *
Everyone hustled out of Kaede's hut, grabbing their weapons for battle.
"Kagome! She... the last time I saw her... She was heading to the river to go get the water for us... she must be somewhere near there!" Sango explained, exasperatedly to everyone, with a worried look on her face.
Kirara transformed into her larger form, and Miroku, Shippou, Myouga, Kaede, and Sango somehow all fit onto Kirara's back while Inu-Yasha ran after then, heading towards the river.
(A/N: What's this? Inu-Yasha followed after them? But wasn't Inu-Yasha was the bad guy who was over by the river who just pushed Kagome off the cliff? Maybe you'll find out exactly what is going on if you read on & and review!)
"What do you think happened to Kagome? Do you think she's okay? I've never heard her scream like that before... She sounded really scared..." Shippou asked Miroku, pulling on his robes, "Miroku, why won't you answer me?" Shippou asked with more worry in his eyes.
"I... I think that she'll be fine... maybe she just saw a monkey or something that startled her... Kagome's a tough girl, she even survived being hit by that giant metal transportation thing, I'm sure whatever it is, she'll be okay..." Kaede assured the kitsune.
When they reached the river, they all gasped, astonished at the sight of seeing Inu-Yasha standing before them, smirking with evil clouding his eyes.
"Who in the seven hells are you?! What are you doing impersonating me?! I can smell the demon in you..." Inu-Yasha barked at the demon that looked precisely like Inu-Yasha.
"What have you done to Lady Kagome?!" Miroku challenged, jumping off of Kirara, holding his staff, ready to knock the sense out of the guy if he didn't cooperate.
"Where is she?!" Sango hissed.
Myouga, of course, stayed on Kirara's back with Kaede, not intending to go any further to the dangers of battle.
"Keh! I pushed that girl into the river. Just what do you think you're going to do about it? She was in my way." the demon replied in the same voice that belonged to Inu-Yasha.
"Who are you?!" Shippou growled, trying to sound brave.
"I am Aku-henkan." He replied.
(A/N: Aku= evil; henkan= transformation. Please don't hate me if I make anyone say anything that sounds so... corny...?)
'Kagome... please hold on... I hope that you're alright...' Inu-Yasha prayed to himself.
"I bet he's the demon with the jewel shards that we heard about..." Miroku whispered to Inu-Yasha.
Inu-Yasha nodded his head, acknowledging Miroku's statement, and then Inu- Yasha whipped out Tetsusaiga with a determined and very angered look on his face.
"Aku-henkan, you'll pay for what you've done! I'm going to annihilate your sorry ass!" Inu-Yasha warned.
"Oh really? I look forward to the battle," Aku-henkan put his fingers to his heart, letting the four jewel shards embedded there glow, "I wouldn't mind adding all of your jewel shards to my collection after slaughtering all of you."
While smirking, Aku-henkan mentally counted, 'One down; five to go...'
(A/N: He's counted Inu-Yasha, Miroku, Sango, Shippou, and Kaede.)
Sango threw Hiraikotsu at the villain in a split second, but he glided to the left, dodging her attack easily and catching the Boomerang Bone and throwing it right back at Sango with more force, knocking her to the ground with a thud. Miroku rushed to her side to make sure that she was okay.
"Sango, are you alright?" the monk asked her in a worried tone, gently caressing her stomach, where it began to bleed from the impact of her weapon being thrown back at her.
Sango gritted her teeth, wincing at the pain that shot through her body, and nodded her head grimly, and a tear twinkled in her eye as she squeezed both eyes shut from the pain.
"I'll be fine, houshi-sama... Just, please, fight him... for Kagome..." Sango whimpered to him before passing into an unconscious state.
Miroku looked at the demon exterminator helplessly, and then with a vengeance, he stood and charged at Aku-henkan throwing ashen salt on his and beating him senseless, relentlessly with his staff. Aku-henkan was able to block some of Miroku's attacks, but not all.
Then, Aku-henkan snickered defiantly, and then he licked the blood that dripped from his arms.
"I won't give up so easily." he informed them as his eyes flashed red for a second.
Aku-henkan gripped the dagger that came from his wrist, a dagger that was part of himself. (A/N: If you've seen Ceres, it's like the dagger that Toya has.) With a flick of his wrist, the dagger was sent flying at Inu-Yasha. The hanyou, unfortunately, wasn't able to miss this attack completely, though at least the dagger missed his heart (and other vital organs) by a mere a centimeter. Inu-Yasha's eyes widened as blood slowly dripped from his mouth, and he began to cough up this crimson matter. Inu-Yasha looked with surprise at his chest, where with every beat of his heart, more blood stained his already red kimono. Without his knowledge, a deadly acidic miasma was emitting from the dagger, into Inu-Yasha's body.
Shippou didn't want to risk his Fox Fire on Aku-henkan, for he valued his life. Kaede tried desperately to hold the demon with a chant, but failed, because Aku-henkan's power was at such a high level.
"Keh." Inu-Yasha sputtered, letting more blood flow from his mouth and chest, raising Tetsusaiga, "KAZE NO KIZU!!!"
(A/N: For the dumbbells who DON'T know that that means, Kaze no Kizu is the "Wind Scar".)
Inu-Yasha's eyes pulsed from their normal golden color to the crimson red color that his eyes normally are like when he transforms into a full- fledged demon. His attack hit his opponent directly, tearing at his clothing and ripping at his flesh. Aku-henkan didn't feel much pain though, thanks to the four Shikon no Tama no kakera (Sacred Jewel shards). Blood dripped from his open wounds, yet all Aku-henkan did was laugh, as he held out his palm, making the dagger in Inu-Yasha's chest disappear and reappear back in Aku-henkan's palm, going back into his injured body. His power was, indeed, weakening, and Aku-henkan transformed back into his true form, unintentionally.
Miroku gasped at the sight of the true Aku-henkan; he looked remarkably like Inu-Yasha in his human form, with the exception of his blood-red eyes, demon like ears (like the ears of Shippou, Sesshoumaru, Kagura, and Kouga). His crimson colored eyes shifted from Inu-Yasha to Miroku, shooting the dagger at the monk now.
Sorry for the somewhat short chapter! I need to go to bed; I have school tomorrow! I'll try to post the next chapter this week! Sorry for the long time it took me to update!
Responses to reviews-
demon-kim demon carey-12- Just wondering, but are you friends or sisters? I'll tell you a secret... *whispers* Kagome isn't dead. I would've put that in this chapter, but I didn't have the time, because I was working on cosplay this weekend. Thanks for reviewing again!
Eternal Serena- I hate how my little brother and sister bother me, telling me to get off the computer... *twitches* If I had a cool staff like Miroku's, I would SO whack them senseless... Oh, I hope that the wait for this chapter was at least somewhat worth it. I was visiting uh... the Manteca and Livermore in CA, but it was boring (except going to Coldstone Creamery!), all I really did was stay at the house studying kanji, thinking that we'd go shopping, but only going to the grocery store *falls out of chair*. Entertaining, ne? Thanks for reviewing again!
LadyKoneko- Wow! ^_^ I've no clue whether you're on this chapter yet or not, since you don't review for every chapter, but I hope that you feel special when you see this response, even though it's mainly babbling! Thanks for all of the reviews!
Mina-chan- Yes, Inu-Yasha is possed, no it's the sword! Just kidding lol. Sorry for confusing you and making you wait long again for an update... Ugg... I don't want to go back to school tomorrow... I really am starting to not like Creative Writing, but that class is with all of my friends, so it's really not that bad... Oh, my friend FINALLY finished the Cowboy Be-bop DVD, so I'll give it back to you... Thanks for reviewing again!
MoonlightDarkness- Wow! Is my fanfic really that good ^_^? I know that I can't talk on the phone when I'm watching TV (or reading good fanfics), so I normally just tell them to call back once they get annoyed with my lack of responses on the phone lol. Thanks for reviewing!
Zazha- I'm glad that you like my fanfic! Did you recently read all of the Inu-Yasha manga or did you watch the anime? I live in the USA, but I would love to live in Asia :3. Which country do you live in? Finland? Lol thanks for saying that my fanfic is interesting! I am sleepy right now also... I am thinking about translating one of my stories into Danish and posting it on fanfiction.net, but I doubt that I'd get reviews, but that's okay... I love getting reviews! Thanks for reviewing!
