Chapter 14- The Battle Begins
Inuyasha and Naraku stared each other down as Hikaru came to his side unsheathing her sword. She bared her fanged teeth at Kagura.
"Ah, it is the half Cat demon from the village. I thought I'd slain you when last we met." The wind goddess smiled.
"When I'm through with you, you're going to wish you had." Growled Hikaru. With that Kagrua used her fan to kick up a mighty wind, Inuyasha and Hikaru jumped to different sides to dodge the attack. Naraku morphed into his true spider form and started a running attack towards Inuyasha.
Hikaru scrambled to her feet in time to raise her sword and block Kagura's fan from slicing her. The two were grid locked fact to face as Hikaru peeked over Kagura's shoulder and saw Inuyasha and Naraku charging each other.
Inuyasha leapt in the air with Tetsigua raised above his head. He didn't even get a chance to swing it as one of Naraku's spider legs came up and kicked him aside. The half demon went sailing backward through the air. He hit a tree with a thud and slid down the trunk like a rag doll. Naraku only laughed. "Stupid half breed, you think you can just charge me?"
Hikaru lost her concentration for a moment as she watched Inuyasha's lifeless body hit the tree, that was all Kagura needed and she pushed the other half-demon backward and swung again. This time the black haired half- breed was ready countering each of Kagura's attacks.
Inuyasha slowly got up and clenched his fists. Unfortunately Naraku was right, he needed a plan. Inuyasha stepped back into the clearing and raised the Tetsigua once more. Again he ran this time aiming for the massive spider's legs.
Dueling with Kagura was getting tiring, it seemed no matter what either of them tried they each could block it, and now Hikaru was in a position where she couldn't see what was happening at the other battle. But she knew Inuyasha couldn't take Naraku on alone, she had to finish Kagura and then go help him. Hikaru was covered in scratches while her opponent seemed unharmed. Kagura attacked with her fan again, Hikaru threw her sword on the ground and did a back flip, kicking the fan from Kagura's grasp. However as she stood back on her feet, the wind-goddess jumped at Hikaru and pulled her by her hair to the ground.
"YOU BITCH!" Hikaru yelled before digging her claws into Kagura's leg, causing her to howl and finally let go of Hikaru's hair.
Naraku ran towards Inuyasha as he lifted the Tetsigua the wind scar danced around the powerful sword. Inuyasha twisted it over his head then aimed and flung the wind scar at Naraku's spider form. Naraku lowered his head and some how blocked the wind scar. Inuyasha let the blade of Tetsigua fall to the ground, still holding the handle with a look of pure confusion on his face.
When Hikaru released her hold on Kagura's leg the wind goddess took the opportunity to kick her right in the face. That caused Hikaru to roll on the ground a few feet away from her. She slowly picked herself up suddenly someone stepped on her tail, causing her to hiss and quickly spin herself and kick her assailant in the back of his knee brining him to his knees, who happened to be Inuyasha backing up from an advancing Naraku.
"Ow, why the hell did you do that?!?" He yelled
"Sometimes I wish you had a tail so you knew what it felt like to get stepped on!" she yelled back.
"Will you two stop fighting with each other!!" They both turned to see Kagome on the other side of the clearing, bringing them back to the battle.
Inuyasha and Hikaru got up. Inuyasha took the opportunity; Naraku was too fast so he crouched down, letting Naraku run over him. Inuyasha stood under Naraku's spider body and thrust his sword up into, what he assumed was the demon's stomach. He kept the sword in Naraku then ran out from under him slicing his body. Blood dripped down from the open wound as the large spider Naraku turned slowly to face him once more.
Kagura and Hikaru watched each others eyes, then in unison realized the other stood by their weapons. With a final glance they ran towards the other and dove for their weapons. Kagura got to hers first and quickly turned to attack Hikaru. The cat demon stood her ground her sword in her right hand, feet spread slightly apart. Kagura charged swinging her closed fan wildly, she reached Hikaru and the demon leaned back to duck from her assailants attacks, but she was slashed against her cheek. Before she realized it Kagrua felt something latch on to her wrist holding the fan, it was Hikaru's free hand. Kagura looked at the half-demon in surprise and Hikaru just smiled and held her tight.
"This, is for my father." She growled before plunging her sword into Kargura's midsection. The wind-goddess' eyes widened and stared into Hikaru's vengeful eyes, the half demon turn her wrist, causing Kagura to scream in pain, "And that is for my village." Hikaru, with blood dripping from her sliced cheek, kept a firm grip on both her sword and Kagura's wrist as she fell to her knees. Hikaru removed her sword as Kagura fell limply to the ground.
