*Author notes: The story moves slow due to school, but it will be finished eventually. Another chap goes up, another review comes in. Hmm….I feel dumb. Oh well, I already knew that. J.*
Kelvin: That is a major possibility. I have it down to Gourry and another. This chap will alleviate. What does alleviate mean? I have no idea. BUT IT SOUNDS GOOD!
Chap 8:
The Start of the End of the World
Kagome screamed as a claw cut into the flesh of her shoulder. Naraku did it slowly, savoring her scream. Inuyasha approached Naraku. He stopped twenty feet away.
"YOU BASTARD!"
Naraku's face was hidden behind a skull, but it was evident that he was smiling evily. He bent his head forward and licked the blood. Inuyasha was ready to kill the bastard at a moment notice.
Naraku looked at him with a glint in his eyes.
"Miko, extremely pure. Excellent quality. And a reincarnation of Kikyou? My, my, you are useful to me."
Kenshin watched from a painful crouch. His leg had a long cut in it. Apparently he had taken more damage than he had thought. He wouldn't be able to do anything to help Inuyasha. He looked back at Cloud. He was a short distance away in the same position. But his aura…it was light, friendly, good. He was no longer dark and revengeful. He was thinking about something that was important to him. Kenshin looked back to Inuyasha and Naraku. They were in a standoff of glares.
Naraku laughed at the pathetic creature in front of him. The half demon was trying to compete with him? Hopeless cause. Naraku took the claw from the miko's shoulder and plunged it into the strange sack on her back till, at last, he sensed the shards in his grasp. He wrenched it out, tearing a new hole in the sack. Inuyasha was even more pissed off. He no longer saw the forest or the town in the background, all he saw was Naraku, holding Kagome and the Shikon shards. He raised the tetsusaiga and charged. Naraku flew backwards to fast for him to see. Naraku flew through the air, still holding Kagome, and landed on a giant floating feather. Inuyasha cursed.
"As you can see, you are no match nor any use to me. You need to be destroyed."
Naraku raised his hand. A red light briefly shined, and then a large red beam shot out and slammed into Inuyasha. He was thrown back and hit the ground and skidded. He rammed into a startled Kenshin and, in turn, hit Cloud. All three of them rolled back and lay on the ground in much pain. Inuyasha tried to stand, found himself in the most pain of his life. Naraku was flying away on the feather, but not before raising his hand again.
"He's going to fire that ray again!" Kenshin yelled from the ground.
Cloud groaned. But his thoughts weren't about Naraku. It was about what would happen if he was to die here. She…would be gone too…
Inuyasha growled. It was over. There was no way he could dodge with his newly broken leg. He had lost. He had failed…Kagome…
"KAGOME!!!"
The red beam appeared, larger and brighter than before, streaking across the sky instantly. His vision went red suddenly and he shut his eyes. The sound was deafeningly loud. His vision changed to white, and a zapping noise went loud in his head. Was it over?
"Don't give up the fight yet!"
His eyes snapped open. Cloud was a black figure from the blinding light. His hands were in the air, as if they were stopping the beam in their tracks. And as if the sun had gone out, it went dark instantly. The red beam was gone. Cloud stood still for a second, then fell to his knee's and then to the ground. Behind him Inuyasha stumbled as well. Kenshin was already on the ground. Cloud fumbled with a hand in his waist pocket. He pulled out a small bottle of blue liquid and quickly drunk it. The hi potion took over quickly, healing his wounds. He stood up and walked to Inuyasha, who was amazed at this and hand his mouth wide open. Cloud handed him another bottle of the liquid.
"Drink."
Inuyasha eyed the bottle, then slowly, drank it. His eyes lit up. He propped himself up on his elbows. He couldn't feel the pain anymore. He jumped up in wonder.
"Why? Why do all this?"
Cloud smiled.
"I had a last minute revelation. If Naraku steals all the shikon shards, I wont be able to save her. And since I know I cant do it alone, might as well help you guys. Besides, I'd have to kill Naraku eventually, and any help would be good. Anyway, lets get sleeping boy up. We have shards to gather and a maiden to save!"
***
And so, three souls unite for a similar cause. These same three souls will help to lead the fight for humanity. But as they come together to fight, three other souls draw near. In a time not far in the future, a clueless swordsmen travels with a powerful sorcereress and a girl, unknowingly drawing closer to his own destiny. In a future far from then, a detective for the spirit world feels a vibe not often felt, like his own soul is responding to a call. And around the same time, a warrior who wears red armor and carries twin sword feels a unusual call to a volcano, a place he often goes. Neverless, tho these three do not know it, they are being drawn together by fate. However, this will not be an easy task. Can they do it?
Lets hope so!
