Inutaishou's Gift By: OtakuSailorV
Chapter 9: The Gift Part 2
Kagome looked toward the 'doorway' with a brilliant, hopeful smile.
Sesshoumaru grit his teeth. His eyes narrowed.
He moved forward swiftly, pushing Kagome backward against the eye, while grabbing for Jaken.
He picked the toad up by the head and slung him backward.
Kagome moved her legs, not wanting the toad to have any kind of soft landing. The youkai groaned as he slammed against the wall, his head spinning.
She stuck her tongue out at him before returning her eyes toward the front of the eye.
There, in the distance was Inuyasha's red cloak, getting closer within the second.
Sesshoumaru stood rigid, staring at the red dot.
He turned back toward Kagome. "Looks as if your lover is not really dead."
Kagome blushed. "Shut up! He is not my lover!!!!"
Jaken groaned next to her.
Sesshoumaru glared daggers at her before turning back to face his brother.
"Sesshoumaru!!!!!!!!!!!"
Kagome's heart leapt at Inuyasha's battle cry. He had drawn Tetsusaiga and swung it downward at his brother.
Sesshoumaru dodged.
Inuyasha moved his blade so that it didn't even scratch his father's bones.
Sesshoumaru smirked and drew his own blade.
But his brother did not charge him as he though he would. Instead, Inuyasha moved inside of the eye without even looking toward Sesshoumaru.
Sesshoumaru grit his teeth again as he came back down to earth in a gliding motion.
He replaced Toukijin and jumped back into the opening of the eye.
Kagome smiled brightly at Inuyasha. Inuyasha smiled back at her.
Tears started to form in her eyes.
Inuyasha gave a worried look. Had HE made her cry?
He reached a hand toward her helplessly. "Kagome. . ." He started but she stopped him. The tears had flowed freely down her face.
"Inuyasha!" She raced toward him, her arms open, tears spilling from her eyes and falling on the ground.
Her fingers touched the lock that was drawn on the wall only briefly before she fell into Inuyasha's open arms.
He look surprised for a moment before he moved his arms around her. Kagome cried freely on his shoulder as he stroked her hair lightly.
"Kagome. . ." He started again, but her hold on his kimono tightened and she looked up at him.
"Inuyasha. . I was just. . .I thought you were. . ." She couldn't say the word. . .'dead'
Inuyasha gave her an indignant look. "You think I could be beaten by some toad, and so easily?!"
Kagome smiled and her head slumped back into his shoulder.
"I guess I should be more trusting. . .ne?"
Inuyasha smiled warmly and hugged her to him.
There was a slight noise, and Inuyasha turned to see his brother, just landing on the rim of the eye, smirking at him.
"You really are more like father after all little brother. . ."
There was another noise behind them and Jaken came into view.
Kagome clutched his kimono in worry. They couldn't back up, even Jaken was a threat now. They couldn't go forward, Sesshoumaru was standing there.
Inuyasha's eyes moved from one to the other.
"Here. . ." He muttered, moving his arm so that one sleeve feel off. He wrapped the kimono around her. "Be safe." He advised before jumping toward his brother.
"Tetsusaiga!!!!!!!!!!" He drew the mighty blade and pushed his brother over the side.
Kagome and Jaken ran forward to watch the commencing battle below them.
Inuyasha pushed Sesshoumaru back, Sesshoumaru pushed Inuyasha back. Blades screamed, teeth rattled.
Kagome and Jaken watched eagerly.
Suddenly, they noticed each other.
Kagome kicked at Jaken who swung at her legs in turn.
He placed the staff in the ground and prepared to attack her with fire.
Kagome wished for her bow and arrow, but made ends meat by grabbing the fire stick, and tossing it over the side.
Jaken's mouth opened and he watched the staff clatter to the ground below.
He looked back up at Kagome in worry.
"Hut, hut. . ." Kagome said as she pulled back one leg.
Jaken screamed once before her foot made contact and he was sent sailing through the air.
Kagome smiled at her triumphant victory.
But her eyes moved quickly to the battle.
Sesshoumaru was hit, but Inuyasha was. . .bleeding. . .and it looked bad. . .
Kagome felt her heart rate rise as she watched him try to fend off his brother.
New tears came to her eyes. "Inuyasha. . ." She mumbled, the tears starting to form.
Her heart gave out a pang of sorrow as she saw him take another hit. He fell to the ground, and she thought she saw his eyes travel up to hers, and stare at her as she started to cry again.
"INUYASHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
There was a blinding light that even Jaken and Rin from the forest saw.
Kagome heard the sound of a key clicking in a lock. Her head turned, but she only saw blinding light.
She gasped lightly and shielded her eyes against the light.
Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru looked up as the light took a form and raced down toward them, landing in the area between them in the fight.
As bone and light met, there was another flash that radiated upward instead of outward.
Kagome watched, half-blinded from the eye as the light took on a more solid form.
Her eyes went wide.
