"Oh Inuyasha!" Kagome ran into his arms, putting her head against his
chest. "You're here... you're finally here again!" He looked down at her and
smiled in a way that warmed her to the bone. She looked up at him, and he
bent his head down to kiss her. Kagome stood on the tip of her toes, to
reach his mouth. Their lips touched, and she opened her mouth just enough
for his tongue to enter her mouth. They kissed deeply, and with passion.
She pulled back and looked up at him. "You're finally home".
But then the dream ended, and she was plunged back into the darkness, like she was being tossed into an icy bath. She opened her watery eyes slightly, still hanging on to the essence of the dream. "Inu—Yasha..." Her eyes dimmed, and she looked dead inside, as she lost all feeling of happiness, that had once surrounded her.
Suddenly, only about ten feet away, the portal opened again, and Yentano walked out. Her heart leapt when she saw Inuyasha behind him. She immediately felt a little warmer, knowing he was there. Although, this did not bring any soul back to her dull lifeless eyes.
Inuyasha saw Kagome and ran to her. He jumped down onto his knees, sliding next to her. He put his hand on her back. "Kagome!" He turned his head and looked back at Yentano. Kagome was still being pinned down by the odd tentacle like things that spurted out of the ground. "Please release her Yentano!" His voice was rough, as if it had been worn down over all the pain. He shook Kagome. She just moved her head up a little looking into his eyes.
Oh how she wanted to at least feel his hands on her body, but she had become numb. Weather it was lost circulation, or just plain sadness, she did not know.
Yentano glared at Inuyasha. "No, not yet. Remember our deal?" Inuyasha got up. "Yes... could you at least not pin her down as hard... she—she looks ill."
Yentano scrunched his face up angrily. "That was not part of the deal Inuyasha. Our deal was you win you get her and the child, I win, you all die. There is nothing in there about lightening up the restrains on her!" Inuyasha opened his mouth to comment back, but Yentano cut him off.
"So as for our challenge. I have decided that we will have a battle of the—"but Inuyasha cut him off, just as Yentano just did.
"No, I am choosing the contest! It was my Idea. So, we will be—"But once more, Yentano cut Inuyasha's sentence short.
"Well this obviously isn't going to work, so we need a neutral party to decide our challenge, yes?"
Inuyasha nodded. "Fine. But who? GAH! This is crazy! The challenge. A challenge of physical strength got it? A battle. Is that good with you?"
Yentano smirked. "Perfect. Your funeral. But let's make this interesting. Let's hold it in the world of the half dead. The Netherworlds."
Inuyasha nodded "Fine." Yentano smirked as he agreed, and thrust his hand forward, opening a new dark portal. This time, the other end looked like a mix of red and black colors. Yentano gave Inuyasha a look that told him to follow, and then walked into the portal. Inuyasha followed.
Suddenly, on the other side, there was a large platform-arena. Yentano snapped his fingers, and the portal closed. Inuyasha gulped. He felt trapped. Yentano snapped his fingers again, and Kagome suddenly appeared in the far end of the arena, unrestrained. Her eyes still lifeless and dull.
Suddenly, a servant that served Yentano came from behind him holding a bundle. He whispered something to her, and the servant ran over to Kagome. Kagome looked up and saw the servant with the bundle. Her eyes immedietly unclouded as soon as she saw that this bundle was her child!
The servant nodded, and held it out to her. "Yentano says you can hold him during the battle." Kagome looked up confused. "Battle?" The servant straightened her posture and answered her. "Yes, Inuyasha has chosen to compete against Lord Yentano. If it is my Lord that wins, you and your mate will give up the child as well as your lives. If it is Inuyasha that wins, then you get your child and m'lord goes away."
Kagome looked at her. "YOU MEAN HE BARTERED MY LIFE!" The servant looked very uncomfortable. "Er—m'lord calls." Then she ran off behind Yentano. Kagome growled in frustration, then suddenly she realized she finally had her baby. She looked down at her child for the first time. It was a boy, and he had black hair, and fuzzy little black ears. Her eyes began to tear up with joy.
"M-m-my baby..." She looked down at her little son's resting face. His cheeks were rosy red from the coldness. Kagome sat down and started to rock him.
Inuyasha looked back and saw Kagome with the bundle that was his son. He wanted to run over there so bad, but Yentano quickly stopped that. "Inuyasha! There is no time for 'side' affairs, let us begin our battle!" Yentano got to one side of the platform, while Inuyasha went to the other. Inuyasha got into battle stance, Yentano just stood there.
Inuyasha looked back at Kagome one more time for moral support, then felt stronger. He put his hand around Tetsuaiga's handle, then, he pulled it out of the sheath. It transformed.
Inuyasha tried to keep his eyes forward, watching Yentano, but it was hard. He wanted so much, just to run to Kagome and his son. The best he could do was protect their lives by killing Yentano. Inuyasha growled, getting ready to attack at the first sign of movement.
Within a blink, Yentano disappeared. Inuyasha quickly spun on his heel, looking for Yentano. Yentano bashed down in an aerial attack. Inuyasha was pushed down into the hard cement. Inuyasha growled, and stumbled to lift himself from the rubble. His right eye was closed due to injury. Inuyasha looked around, and up in the air. Yentano was no where to be seen.
Inuyasha's ears twitched, taking in every sound and processing it. Suddenly he heard Kagome scream. "Inuyasha! Behind you!" Sure enough, Yentano was there, flying straight for him. Inuyasha leapt backwards several yards to give himself more time. He readied his sword, pointing it towards Yentano. Yentano smirked, then landed on the ground, and crouched down ready to leap. He pushed off of the ground, and was high up in the air. He quickly landed behind Inuyasha and put his palm on Inuyasha's back, and hit him point blank with an energy burst.
Inuyasha screamed in pain and fell face forward, as the energy burst blasted through his body. Blood spurted all over, and it felt as if a thousand knives passed through his body. He groaned, trying to gather the strength to get back up, but he couldn't muster the energy.
Kagome screamed, but it felt like a feint whisper to Inuyasha. His eyes were dull as the life was escaping him. Soon enough, Kagome's screams woke the baby, who was also screaming now. Inuyasha felt one of his ribs snap as Yentano stepped on him. Inuyasha surged with anger as he heard his small son's screams. "My—child—I...WON'T LET HIM DOWN!" Inuyasha stumbled up, pushing Yentano off of him. Inuyasha's eyes were now pulsing Youkai red.
Kagome cheered for Inuyasha seeing that he got up. Inuyasha grabbed the hole in his side with his claws, then attacked. "BLADES OF BLOOD!" Inuyasha launched his signature attack. It hit Yentano, making him fly backwards. Suddenly the baby started to scream in horrible pain. Kagome rocked him trying to calm him.
Inuyasha roared in anger, he heard his child's bloodcurdling screams. Inuyasha held onto his head and thrashed around, hearing the horrible sound. He roared and then his eyes stopped pulsing, and stayed a steady red. He growled and started running towards Yentano on all fours, like a dog.
Yentano smirked. "finally you are at your top potential." He leapt backwards and fired a few blasts at Inuyasha. Inuyasha dodged each one of them swerving side to side and using his agility. Kagome noticed Inuyasha's odd behavior, and caught a glimpse of Inuyasha's demon eyes.
"Oh no, Inuyasha! Please! Stop! PLEASE!!!!" Inuyasha was deaf to Kagome's words. He continued his senseless fighting. Kagome gulped, and then started to run into the arena. She grabbed the untransformed tetsuaiga, holding her son in the other arm. She ran over to Inuyasha and jumped on his back. She wrestled him down for just an instant and rolled him over. She kissed him. He struggled around , and he tried to grab her, but she put her hands in his. His hands struggled, but soon softened and loosened up. He stopped struggling, and Kagome could feel him kissing back.
Yentano rolled his eyes and walked over coolly. He stepped beside them and kicked Kagome hard, making her roll off of Inuyasha, and to the edge of the arena. The lone child sat in the middle of the arena crying. Inuyasha yelled, then got up. Kagome didn't move.
"Damn you Yentano. You take my mate's dignity, you take my child, you take our hope, you crush my body, and you shatter hers. You are truly a monster. A monster that needs to be stopped. Not just for the sake of my family, but for the sake of the world." Inuyasha stood, slouched over slightly. He bent down and wrapped his hand around the handle of his sword. He lifted it up, its metal clanked on the cement as it transformed. Inuyasha pulled it up and pointed it at Yentano, then disappeared.
Kagome's eyes opened. Her blurry vision could make out the small bundle crying in the middle of the battlefield. She shook off the pain, and used her hands to pull herself across the field, inch by inch, towards her child. She moved herself within arm's length of her child.
Inuyasha reappeared behind Yentano. He yelled out and stabbed Yentano through the torso. Yentano yelled out in pain. Inuyasha pulled his sword out, and Yentano fell to his knees, then face down. He was soon drenching in a puddle of blood.
The baby's bloodcurdling screams grew to absolute pain. Kagome kept reaching the tip of her fingers towards the bundle with the last of her strength. "My baby—my baby..." Her lips were dry and cracked.
The pads of her fingers brushed against the bundle. The blue cloth that surrounded the baby soon started to seep with blood. The screams stopped, as Inuyasha beat the last of the life out of Yentano.
Kagome wanted to scream, or cry, or do anything! Her hand fell flat down, and blood surrounded her hand, as her eyes closed.
