Miroku ran the occurrences of the past few weeks over
and over in his mind, looking for one single incident that
would make Jakotsu attack Kagome like that. But he could
find nothing, and he new that Jakotsu wouldn't do anything to
hurt InuYasha. It just didn't make sense.
He wasn't the only member of OmegaNihon who felt this way. Sango, Shippou, Sesshoumaru, Juuroumaru and even Kagome couldn't believe what had happened. Unfortunately, InuYasha did not feel this way at all. He never liked Jakotsu and was always looking for a slip up. Last night, that slip up had occurred. Blood would be shed very soon...
Kikyou had regained consciousness, and told everyone about what had happened that night. She said that it was InuYasha who had done this to her. And much like OmegaNihon with their problem, most of Kikyou's band didn't believe he would do this. Bankotsu, Renkotsu and Mukotsu were absolutely flabbergasted.
Jakotsu on the other hand, saw things a little differently. InuYasha could have killed Kikyou, and he could have killed the unborn child that she was carrying. Even if he didn't love Kikyou, he would want to be with his child. That almost would have never happened. Despite his feelings for him, InuYasha would pay...
As soon as the news of the attack had reached Kanna and her little clique, they rushed to the hospital to check up on Kagome. Tsuyu and Nobunaga, who had gotten over his cold, were there to meet them.
"What is going on?" Kanna asked Nobunaga.
"I'm not sure," he answered. "It seems that Kagome was attacked last night by Jakotsu."
"What?" Kohaku exclaimed. "That doesn't make any..." He trailed off because something had bit him. He slapped his neck and the flat body of a flea floated into his hand.
"Why do you people always have to do that to me?" the flea, Myouga, exclaimed as he returned himself to normal.
"You always seem to recover," Kohaku muttered. "Do you know anything about this?"
Myouga shook his head. "For once, I don't have the answers. It just doesn't make-"
"Any sense," Hakudoushi finished for him, "Yes we already know that. But I bet the ice demons have something to do with it."
The six of them went into the hospital and asked the clerk where Kagome's room was. Once they had obtained their information, they went to her room. InuYasha, Sesshoumaru and Juuroumaru were nowhere in sight, but Miroku, Sango and Shippou were staying by Kagome's side. Kohaku went to his sister's side and asked her if Kagome was going to be all right.
"She'll be okay," Sango answered. But she didn't say anything else. Kohaku didn't need to ask what she was thinking about. He could easily put two and two together.
"What do you think InuYasha's going to do?" he whispered. Again, she didn't answer.
"I'm gonna kill him!" InuYasha exclaimed. He, Sesshoumaru and Juuroumaru were walking around outside the hospital, trying to clear their heads. It wasn't working.
"Calm down," Sesshoumaru said. "Killing Jakotsu is not going to make anything any better." All he got for a response was a muttered 'feh'. "I see," he sighed, "I still think you should sit down and think this through a little more."
InuYasha smiled. "I will," he said. "Right after I beat the shit outta Jakotsu."
As the two brothers continued to argue, Juuroumaru began to feel a little uneasy. It was almost as if something was watching them. He glanced around the grounds, but didn't see anything out of the ordinary. He had been feeling weird for the past few days, and he couldn't tell why. It was as if something was trying to get into his mind.
(Naraku...)
But was it really Naraku, and if it so, why? As far as everyone was concerned, Naraku was at home, doing stuff... Juuroumaru stopped walking. Come to think of it, he hadn't seen Naraku around lately at all.
(Meh, good riddance.)
But still, as glad as he was that Naraku had suddenly vanished, he still had a nagging suspicion that Naraku might be with the...
"Alright!" InuYasha exclaimed, breaking Juuroumaru free of his thoughts. "I'll leave him alone!"
"Good," Sesshoumaru said. "We'll sort this out later. But for now we should go see how Kagome is doing."
"You're right." The three of them headed back into the hospital, each thinking about something completely different than the others.
(I don't care what Sesshoumaru says... Jakotsu hurt Kagome, and now it's his turn to feel pain.)
At a little less than an hour before dusk, InuYasha got ready to go over to Kikyou's village to pay them a surprise visit. He grabbed the Tetsusaiga, and ever so quietly, left his home. No one heard him leave. No one saw him leave. He ran swiftly through the forest that separated their villages. He wanted to get this over with as quickly as possible.
("Killing her attacker won't set things right," Miroku warned. "You should stop being so rash. It will end up really screwing you over.")
He snarled at that very thought. What did Miroku know anyways? Compared to even a half demon, Jakotsu was nothing. This'll be a piece of cake. Still though, a thought of letting this go lingered in the back of his mind. Unfortunately, he was too hotheaded and mad to even give it a try.
Almost through the forest now, he smelled a familiar scent, the scent of a human. He gritted his teeth. It seemed that Jakotsu had somehow known about this, and was waiting there to meet him. What he didn't realize, however, was that Jakotsu's ideas were no different from his own.
They gasped when they saw each other. Neither one of them really had thought this out far enough. It all seemed like a weird nightmare. But would it end? Would either of them wake up? InuYasha smiled wickedly. One of them would definitely enter that eternal sleep; that was for damn sure.
Talk was quick and effortless. Neither one of them would give the other a chance to explain anything. Rage clouded their reasoning abilities quite well. InuYasha tightened his grip on the Tetsusaiga and rushed at Jakotsu. Their swords struck each other with a loud crashing sound that send a flock of birds fleeing in terror to the sky.
Jakotsu jumped back. With a flick of his wrist, his sword uncoiled and struck the ground right under InuYasha's feet. He just scoffed and rushed to his opponent again. He lifted the Tetsusaiga over his head and swung it down to try to hit Jakotsu over his head. But he missed. Jakotsu flung his sword up and struck InuYasha's hand, causing him to release his sword from his grip. The Tetsusaiga landed just out of immediate reach.
"Feh," InuYasha smirked, "I don't need my sword to kill you. I'll just use my own claws."
"You do that," Jakotsu smirked back. He dashed towards the dog demon and struck his arm with his sword. However, InuYasha didn't even flinch. Instead, he just scoffed and slashed at Jakotsu with his claws. He was flung back and upon hitting the ground, the Jakotsutou released from his grip. "Shit," he muttered as he struggled back to his feet.
With this split second to spare, InuYasha made a mad run to his sword and picked it up, and then dashed to his opponent, who had also gotten back his sword. The two swords clashed yet again, and again Jakotsu was flung back by the force of InuYasha's swing.
The hanyou leapt into the air and landed on his opponent, his sword inches from his face. If it had not been for his quick thinking, Jakotsu would have been done for. All he had to do to get InuYasha off of him was blow him a kiss. He jumped off of him in disgust.
(Don't let him trick you like that again...)
He growled and made another dash to Jakotsu. All his attacks seemed to be nothing but charging and brutal assaults. He wasn't thinking clearly anymore. But he didn't care. As long as he could keep this up, he'd win for sure. Jakotsu was showing signs of weakening. This battle was in the bag.
InuYasha slashed wildly at his opponent, clashing against his sword, and even cutting his arm. A few more attacks like that was all he needed. Fate, on the other hand, was apparently quite fed up with the half demon. The sun went down behind the mountains, and the moon had risen. He could feel his strength leaving him.
"What's wrong, InuYasha?" Jakotsu taunted. "Don't tell me you're giving up already."
InuYasha looked at his hands. His claws were becoming smaller. Out of the corners of his eyes, he saw his hair grow darker in color.
(Oh shit, not tonight!)
Then he looked at the Tetsusaiga. It had transformed back into its useless form. He had become completely human, and was now no longer strong enough to beat Jakotsu. 'You should stop being so rash,' Miroku's voice echoed in his mind. 'It will end up really screwing you over.'
"Damn it Miroku," InuYasha muttered under his breath, "Why the hell do you always hafta be right all the time?"
Jakotsu smiled and dashed to wards is enemy.
He wasn't the only member of OmegaNihon who felt this way. Sango, Shippou, Sesshoumaru, Juuroumaru and even Kagome couldn't believe what had happened.

Jakotsu smiled and dashed to wards is enemy.
