Chapter 7: Treachery and Death
"Fool. That was too easy. There should be no trace of that disgusting hanyou left; not even his bones. "
Tekkei settled back down on her mountain nest. However, all wasn't quite for long. As the smoke began to clear, several tentacles flew towards her and pierced her through the chest.
"*choke* What the…."
"Ku, ku, ku, ku…….do not underestimate me Tekkei. Your flame breathe was not powerful enough to pierce my barrier."
The smoke finally cleared to reveal Naraku unharmed.
"*choke* You bastard….my daughter…." Tekkei began.
"Will be joining you shortly." Naraku finished.
Naraku transformed his other arm into a vine of three tentacles and drove them through Tekkei's head. Tekkei's body thrashed as she fell from her mountain perch and landed hard on the valley floor.
Naraku noticed a figure flying toward him in the distance. 'So, she finally made it.' He thought to himself with a smile. Naraku turned his attention back to the dying demon bird lying before him. "I want you to sit back and watch as I kill your daughter."
"…………."
Naraku rose into the air to greet his new guest.

Abie was lost in her thoughts, thinking to herself how much she was going to enjoy killing Naraku and that bitch Kagura. 'Mother should be all better by the time I return, and then….' She began with a vengeful smile. 'I will pull out Naraku's heart and personally hand it to him.'
Abie was pulled from her thoughts when she noticed a commotion in the distance. As she flew closer, she could not believe her eyes. Naraku was hovering over her fallen mother's form. She could sense that she was dying….
"O……..Okaasama…..IIIIIIYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"
Abie sped straight ahead towards Naraku in a blinding rage.
"I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL KILL YOU A HUNDRED TIMES YOU BASTARD!!!"
Naraku simply smiled and turned to greet the flock of birds that Abie sent towards him. Naraku used his arms in tentacle form as whips and spilt each bird in two, their bodies falling like rain onto the valley floor. Abie was still racing towards him, the halberd poised to attack….
'No Abie, run….run away.' Tekkei was still conscious, but her strength was fading fast. She could not even talk. But she had to do something. With the last ounce of her strength, Tekkei raised her head and yelled a warning to her daughter.
"NO ABIE *choke* IT'S A TRAP!!"
Abie stopped and saw her mother……but it was too late. The halberd that Abie held in her hand turned into a tentacle and pierced through Abie's chest. Abie's eyes went wide with surprise and she looked from her mother, to Naraku and back to her mother. She moved her lips, but no sound came from them. Tekkei looked back into her daughter's eyes and watched as she fell from the sky to the ground below.
The halberd flew from Abie's body to Nareku who simply engulfed it with his own body. "Fool, that weapon I gave you was a part of me. How were you going to kill me with a weapon that I control?"
Tekkei lay her head back down and slowly closed her eyes. How could she have been defeated by a hanyou……a worthless hanyou. Suddenly she felt a bone crushing weight on her neck and she shot her eyes open only to see Naraku standing over her with his foot on her neck.
"By the way, Tekkei my dear; I am not a hanyou, not anymore. I expelled my human heart from this body. You couldn't kill me no matter how hard you tried. Ku, ku, ku, ku, ku……..serves you right for underestimating me."
With that, Naraku raised his foot and stomped down on Tekkei's neck with such force that he severed her head from her body. Tekkei watched as her killer walked off into the distance as she felt her life slowly slip away. She closed her eyes and said, "I'm….sorry….too" before the darkness of death took her.

He saw the entire incident and watched with interest. He was usually not one for spying but the information he learned from this incident was very valuable indeed. Not only was he able to observe and analyze Naraku's fighting technique, but he learned some interesting information about him as well. Naraku's heart was located elsewhere. In his many years of experience, he knew that if the heart wasn't in the body, it had to be somewhere else; a demon, no matter how powerful he was cold not live without a heart.
'That must be his weakness, which is why he removed it.' He thought.
There was a light breeze that blew through his long silver hair and he noticed a new scent not far away. 'That woman Kagura is not far away.' He debated whether or not he would stick around and wait for Kagura to appear. 'She may have more useful information.' But, before he could make a final decision…..
"What the hell are you doing here Sesshoumaru?" Came an irritated voice from behind. Sesshoumaru turned only to be met with a pair of amber eyes just like his.
A/N: hanyou – half human and half demon
Okaasama – very respectful form of okaasan, which is mother. I chose to use the suffix –sama instead of –san because Abie's mother Tekkei is the leader of all birds. So Abie was addressing her mother similar to the way a princess would a queen (if that makes sense).
