The Dragon's Fate:
Disclaimer: *Spells out "I don't own Inuyasha" in midair using lightning* *Yawns*
A/N: *Wonders why it is so hard to get reviews* Oh, and about halfway through this chapter I encountered a major case of writer's block concerning how to finish the fight, so that would be why it took so long.
Chapter 6: The Revelation
*After making her way through the forest for awhile, Kagome spotted the comb. It was in a clearing, atop a pile of skulls, that was on a "platform" made of hair*
Kag: "Found it. Now if I can just hit the Jewel Shard..."
*As she spoke, Kagome started to reach for her bow, when several clumps of hair shot out of the shadows and bound her wrists and ankles*
Kag: "Sango, Miroku, be careful!"
Mir: "Sorry Lady Kagome; we were also caught."
Kag: "Oh no!"
*While Kagome, Sango, and Miroku had gone ahead, Kilala flew over with Shippo on her back, and Inuyasha and Ryei kept attacking Yura to slow her down. However, when Kagome tried to warn Sango and Miroku, Inuyasha heard her*
Inu: "KAGOME!"
*Inuyasha tried to sever the hairs, but was also caught, and was bound to a tree trunk on the edge of the clearing. Meanwhile, Yura was able to focus completely on Ryei and managed to wrap him in enough hair so that only his head could be seen*
Yura: "Did you think I wouldn't protect my comb? I had a trap ready incase anyone tried to damage it. Now I'll just go and get that little fox."
*After saying this, Yura left to look for Shippo, not realizing that he and Kilala were nearby, in the sky*
Ryei: "I wonder if this hair is flammable..."
Inu: "Yeah, Yura has an attack using flaming strands of hair, so?
Ryei: "Fire could easily be used to weaken the hairs binding us, so we could get loose."
Inu: *Blink* *Blink* "Where's that stupid fox when you need him?"
Ship: "Right above you."
Inu: "WHERE'D YOU COME FROM?"
Ship: "I was on Kilala, I heard everything. I'm just glad Yura didn't see me."
*As he spoke, Shippo used his Fox Fire to break the hairs binding Inuyasha and the others so they could do something about the comb*
Inu: "Yura probably felt you burning her hairs. Kagome, you'd better deal with the comb. The rest of us will keep Yura off your back."
Ryei: "Speaking of which..."
*As he spoke, Ryei swung around with his gauntlet's blade out and took a swipe at Yura who had just come charging out of the trees behind him. However, Yura managed to dodge his attack by jumping backwards, and as she did so, she twitched her fingers causing a few hairs to wrap around the wrist part of the gauntlet and pull it off*
San: "Ryei, your hand..."
*With the gauntlet off, it could now be seen that Ryei's hand and arm were covered with electric blue-green scales*
Ryei: "Like I said before, I'll explain later."
*Ryei leapt back to dodge an attack from Yura and then threw back the right side of his cloak*
Inu: "WHAT THE! WHAT'S THE WIND SCAR DOING AROUND YOUR ARM?"
*Inuyasha's reaction, while the loudest, wasn't the only one of it's kind, for they were all surprised to see the Wind Scar wrapping around Ryei's arm and hand from the elbow down just as it had wrapped around the Tetsuiga ever since Inuyasha's battle with Ryokotsusei*
Ryei: "As I told you before, I am able to analyze attacks that are used around me, and in the case of energy attacks, I can also recreate them, as well as see other ways they could be utilized."
Inu: "What are you talk....."
*As he was talking, Ryei pulled back his arm and thrust it straight forward as he yelled out "KAZE NO KIZU!" as he did, a yellow beam shot forward and was barely dodged by Yura. They were all stunned for a few seconds by the beam, and then there was a flash and every thing that had been in the beams path was gone, the ground awash with heat, but it wasn't just where the beam was; since the beam had been relatively narrow, everything that had been within three meters of the attack had been destroyed*
Ryei: "Remind me ... not to ... do that ... again ..."
*Everyone turned back to look at Ryei and noticed that the part of his arm that the Wind Scar had previously been wrapped around was now very different. The scales were gone, as if they had been blown away by the attacks power, the flesh looked as if it had been severely burned and there were numerous cuts covering his hand and arm*
San: "A ... wing?"
*When Sango spoke, the others, whose attention had all been focused on the now injured arm, looked at what had been revealed of Ryei's form. He was wearing a common pair of brown pants, but if his feet and the scales that could be seen above the waist of his pants were any indication, his lower body was similar to his arm. He wore no shirt, but this was probably explained by the large feathered wing coming out of his right shoulder, it was currently folded, but it looked like the feathers where white. It could also be seen that the scales which normally covered his lower arm continued up to his shoulder, but the majority of his torso appeared to be that of a normal human*
Ryei: "Um... wouldn't this be a good time to deal with that comb?"
*Kagome put a hand to her mouth and her eyes widened before she spun around and fired an arrow at the shard connecting the two pieces of the comb* *As she did, Yura started forward as if trying to stop Kagome, and Ryei's visible wing suddenly opened fully and one feather flew out* *Just before Kagome's arrow hit the shard, a twang, like a taunt cord, could be heard through out the clearing*

A/N: Well that should be it for the battle with Yura. And considering how long it has been since I posted a chapter, and I haven't gotten any reviews in that time, I'm wondering if anyone does read this fic...Ja ne.
