The sun had gone to sleep, and with it, it had taken
InuYasha's strength. That night was that of the new moon,
which meant he would become completely human. And he did.
He watched in absolute horror as he changed. He was no
longer strong enough to continue this fight that he had
started. Even the Tetsusaiga couldn't help him anymore.
"I hate it when you become human," Jakotsu whined. "You lose your cute little ears."
InuYasha clenched his teeth. He may have weakened Jakotsu enough to finish him off. But would he risk it? If he could just get that sword away from him... But how would he do it?
(Well, you could stoop down to his level and-)
"No!" he shouted out loud. Jakotsu raised an eyebrow. "I mean," he muttered as his eyes darted left and right.
(Damn. What am I going to do? Perhaps I could-)
"Stop wasting time!" Jakotsu called out, snapping his enemy out of his thoughts. He ran over to him, wielding his sword in front of him, ready to strike. He tilted his sword to one side, and brought it down on InuYasha's head. It hit with a clang sound, and it was almost as if he wasn't hurt at all.
(Guess he doesn't have much in there to be hurt... ^_^')
InuYasha rubbed his head and realized that, no indeed, that didn't hurt as much as other people had said. Then he stopped. What if the blow wasn't supposed to cause him pain? Could Jakotsu just be...?
Jakotsu lifted his sword out in front of him and pointed it at InuYasha. "Before we continue, may I ask a question?"
"No," was his muttered response.
He smirked. "I just want to know why the hell you did what you did."
"What are you talking about?" InuYasha asked, shocked. Had he done something?
"You know very well what I'm talking about." Jakotsu narrowed his eyes. "Why did you attack her?"
InuYasha, for once, was silent. He honestly hadn't the foggiest idea what this baka was talking about. He didn't attack anyone. Well, except for Jakotsu obviously. "What?" he finally managed to say.
"Kikyou," he whispered. "Why did you attack her?"
The all-human demon clenched his fists. How dare he say that! He was the one who had attacked Kagome in the first place, and now he was insinuating that he had attacked Kikyou?
"You've lost your mind!" he shouted. "I didn't attack Kikyou! And if anything, you should be answering to me! Why did you attack Kagome?"
Jakotsu lowered his sword. "Kagome?" He had no idea what he was talking about. Silence took over the battlefield. The only sounds were their heavy breathing, and the sound of wind howling through the surrounding trees. They both looked into each other's eyes and realized that they were both telling the truth, that neither one of them had attacked either Kagome or Kikyou. But if they didn't, then who did...?
~*~ ... I think they've had enough, don't you? ... ~*~
Without warning, a snowstorm had begun. The snow came down in thick lumps, obstructing their view. Then, out of the corner of his eye, InuYasha saw a shadow move towards him. He noticed that he was still holding the Tetsusaiga. He tightened his grip on it. The figure was also holding a sword. It sprung out at him, but he just barely dodged it. It was the Jakotsutou.
Meanwhile, Jakotsu had realized that a figure holding a big sword was standing behind him too. But because of the blizzard, he couldn't see who it was. But he had an idea. He noticed the dog-ears right off the bat.
"I understand now," he whispered. Without thinking, he slashed his sword at the figure, ripping it in two. Then the blizzard lifted, and revealed to him what he had cut up. It was InuYasha. Or at least, it was what looked like him. He glanced over at the real InuYasha, who was fighting a copy of himself. When he saw it, he instantly became disgusted.
(I definitely do NOT look like that...)
He ran over to his doppelgänger and sliced the abomination into two pieces. "Eww," he muttered as its body fell to the ground.
"Well," InuYasha said, "That answers some questions." Jakotsu nodded in agreement. "Umm," he continued, "about the whole trying to kill you thing..."
Jakotsu smiled. "Anytime," he said. He was interrupted just then by the sound of evil cackling. Then the shadowy figure of Urasue formed right before their eyes.
"You have done well to destroy my copies," she said. "But alas, they were nothing compared to me." She smiled wickedly, revealing her horrible teeth. "I sent them to attack those girls to frame you. I think it went pretty well, don't you agree?"
"Not really," Jakotsu muttered. Urasue just shrugged.
"You obviously have no taste," she muttered. "Now, the original plan was for me to come over hear and beat the shit out of you. But I see you've already done that."
Then a second female voice spoke: "So allow us to finish the job." For the first time in a long time, Sekka had revealed herself to her enemy. She looked over at Jakotsu and winked. "Nice to see you again," she said, blowing him a kiss. Then she walked over to InuYasha. "Aww," she said, giving a fake frown, "What happened to your cute ears?"
"Do I know you?" he asked. Sekka sweatdropped.
"I'm the bad guy!" she exclaimed. She turned to Jakotsu and said, "Surely you remember me."
Jakotsu's eyes squinted and he said, "I'm trying to forget."
"Well," Sekka muttered in an annoyed tone. "Here's the deal: you two come with me nice and easily, and I won't make the last few moments of your lives a living hell."
"I have another deal," Jakotsu smirked. He lifted his sword and lunged at Sekka. But she just scoffed and swung her arm to block the slash. The sword struck her arm and barely even scratched it. She then grabbed the sword from out of his hands and threw it behind her.
"You obviously don't know what you're dealing with," she smiled wickedly. "Mere swords cannot hurt me." Then she snapped her fingers, and Urasue uttered an incantation. Before InuYasha or Jakotsu had time to react, they were both instantly put to sleep by the spell.
"Take them back to the fortress," Sekka instructed. "Phase two of our plan is now complete." Urasue nodded, and took the two prisoners to the ice fortress.
Sekka stayed behind in the forest, and began to wander aimlessly around in it. It was beginning to get to warm for her. So she decided to make it a little cooler. Storm clouds gathered above the forest. Snow began to rain heavily onto the ground. Mixed into it was rain and hail.
"There," she smiled to herself. "That's better. I hope that dog-boy and his friends don't think they're gonna beat us, because the ice army does not lose. And even when we're about to lose, we never give up. We never know when to stop, actually." She looked around and blushed a little.
(Who the hell am I talking to!?)
She laughed.
Fuyuka sat on top of the look out tower and watched Urasue return with her captives. He was really hoping that Sekka would come back with her. Lately, he had been having urges. But she was with that lightning demon. That stupid, ugly lightning demon.
(Jealous, are we?)
He sighed. Yes, he was jealous. In fact, he was insanely jealous. Sekka was supposed to be his property, and now this new guy showed up out of nowhere. Well, for his sake, he better be good at watching his back, because one of these days...
He shook his head. No, he couldn't hurt Sekka like that.
(Yes, YOU couldn't... but maybe someone else could...)
He smiled. Of course, he would get someone else to kill Hiten for him. Then Sekka would run into his arms to seek comfort. And he would be right there for her. But another thought came to his mind: his little brother. What was he going to do with him?
Meanwhile, Frostbyte, inside the fortress' main hall, was thinking about Kouga as well. She knew that there was something between him and Kagura. It was obvious. He was in her way, and she would do anything to knock him down.
If only there was a common solution to both Frostbyte and Fuyuka's problem...
"I hate it when you become human," Jakotsu whined. "You lose your cute little ears."
InuYasha clenched his teeth. He may have weakened Jakotsu enough to finish him off. But would he risk it? If he could just get that sword away from him... But how would he do it?
