Chapter 15- A Turn For the Worst
Miroku and Sango flew high above the woods looking for any sign of Kagome. Shippo sat between them on Kirara's back, he was peering, or attempting to peer below as well but every time he tried to look down he got a dizzying feeling in his stomach. He held on tightly to Kagome's bow and arrows, Miroku had suggested they bring them, in case they find her. He's also said something about an evil presence. The kitsune hoped the monk was wrong.
"She wouldn't have gone straight to the well would she?" Sango asked, "I don't think we are that far from Kaede's village."
"I think it's possible, but unlikely, she would have had to run back past Inuyasha and Hikaru to get to the main road." Miroku thoughtfully looked to the ground, "there is a clearing up ahead, let's land and Shippo and I will continue on foot." This demon aura I sensed earlier is getting stronger; we may be headed right towards it. "Sango...?" He started,
"I feel it." Was all she said as they changed directions and headed straight for the clearing.
Hikaru stood over the limp body of Kagura, making sure she wasn't moving before turning to help Inuyasha.
Inuyasha watched Naraku turn to face him. The blood dripping from the wound the half-demon had made on his under body was dripping slower and slower as it healed itself. Finally the blood stopped, "Is that all you can throw at me Inuyasha?"
With that Inuyasha charged again. Hikaru, seeing her friend attack in a blind rage, reached under the elegant blue and black kimono coat she wore, which was now torn and tattered from battle, and pulled out a dagger. She aimed and as Inuyasha jumped from the ground with the Tetsigua in the air, she threw the dagger into Naraku's back. Naraku heard the whizzing of the dagger and turned, too late, to stop it. His surprise at Hikaru's attack gave Inuyasha a chance to slash his chest with the Tetsigua.
Naraku kicked Inuyasha as soon as he landed from his attack, sending him flying through the air, and he turned and began to charge the other half- demon. Hikaru stood her ground and raised her sword.
Out of nowhere a large boomerang swept in and took out the front four of Naraku's new 8 legs, sending the front half of his spider-like body to slam into the ground. Hikaru took off running towards the demon. She too slashed him against his chest making an X shaped wound along with Inuyasha's. The only sign of discomfort that Narku showed was a furrowing of his brow before swatting Hikaru down like a fly with his arm.
Kirara landed and allowed Sango to jump up and grab her boomerang before landing softly on the ground beside Kagome. "Are you alright?" she asked her friend.
Kagome slowly stood with the help of the tree that Hikaru had walked her to. "Yes I just twisted my ankle." She hobbled to her friends, greatly favoring her right and healthy ankle.
Sango rushed to her aid, "Here sit on Kirara for the rest of the battle, if anything happens she will fly you and Shippo out of here."
As she mounted the cat Shippo handed her the bow and arrow, "We thought you might need these." He grinned. She patted him on the head, "Thanks Shippo."
With that Sango and Miroku turned to join the fight.
Inuyasha had gotten his wits together and watched Hikaru get swatted down by Naraku. He ran to her aid and knelt beside her, "Hikaru are you al..." He was cut off when she groaned and rolled over onto her back. She slowly opened her cat like green eyes and smiled at Inuyasha. Then something else caught her eye, something behind his left shoulder.
"Inu-"she didn't finish his name, "LOOK OUT!"
Inuyasha turned and managed to block Naraku's latest punches with the Tetsigua. Sparks flew as the pure evil demon made contact with the sword forged from Inuyasha's father's fang.
Sango threw her boomerang to divert Naraku's attention as Miroku ran up behind Hikaru and pulled her to safety. No one noticed Kagura stirring or the tornado of wind that sucked her off of the ground and out of sight.
Naraku swatted down the boomerang making it hit the ground, causing a large crack to appear. Inuyasha plunged his sword into the spider body. Before he could plundge it deeper Naraku turned and grabbed him by the throat lifting him in the air. Inuyasha clung to the Tetsigua.
Kirara with Shippo and Kagome on her back came over to where Miroku had pulled Hikaru to safety. "Hikaru we need to do something. If...if Inuyasha drops the Tetsigua he..." She couldn't bare to tell the half demon what would happen, knowing that the creature Inuyasha would turn into was the creature she had vowed to destroy.
Hikaru stood, ignoring the pain of the cuts and bruises she had all over her body. "What will happen Kagome?" She asked sternly.
"If Inuyasha releases the Tetsigua and he is a life and death situation his demon blood will take over, and he becomes an unstoppable full-blooded demon." She said somberly.
After hearing this Hikaru turned to see Naraku squeezing Inuyasha's throat. His hands dug in so deep that they were beginning to braw blood. His spider legs were beginning to grow back and Naraku wore a grin of impending success.
Inuyasha felt the tight grip on his throat, desperate to cling to the Tetsigua he only used one hand to try to pull out of the demon's clutches to no avail. He slowly became light headed and struggled to keep focused. I can't pass out, I mustn't let go...I can't become...a...demon...hold on...I might...hurt my...friends...Kagome... his thoughts became broken and he felt his grip loosen. His head fell forward and the Tetsigua fell to the ground.
Also, there are a lot of questions about Kagome/Inuyasha and Hikaru/Inuyasha, I hope you all don't hate me for keeping you in suspense, but I promise it will all be solved in a few chapters.... So keep reading and reviewing, I love all of you who have reviewed, YOU ROCK!
