Chapter 2 - Helpless
With his eyes scanning the area for youkai, he stood up. He looked down and saw that his fleece was dirty and his head began to clear a bit. His ears perked as he heard the sound of thumping from distance. He frowned and lifts the mask to conceal his face.
An army of youkai disguised as human was surrounding him. All of them pointed their spears toward him, waiting. Another figure on a horse emerged from the crowd and look at Naraku. A samurai headdress concealed his head but Naraku saw dark hairs escaped from it.
"You there! What business you had on this sacred ground?" The samurai said beneath his armor. Naraku looked around him and noticed that all of them were elite warriors. Nevertheless, neither matched his strength. Naraku then smirked under his mask and turned away.
Suddenly, the ground beneath his feet starts to spark with electricity. A huge power hit Naraku hard, which made him thrown back. He staggered and saw that there were markings on the ground around him.
Naraku frowned and held out his hand. The spark came back and tried to attack him. Hints of red haze merge on his palm and absorbed the lightning. Huge gust surround the clearing as the markings on the ground began to fade.
The Samurai stiffened as he witnessed the demon replenished his energy by wiping out the magic of the ground. Naraku lowered his hand as the marking had faded and turned toward the Samurai.
"Anymore tricks for me?" He taunted.
The rider noticed the power that surround the demon and motions his soldiers to attack him. A battle cry filled the air as the soldiers ran toward Naraku. Naraku flicked his fingers and a series of sword slashing surround him. All of the soldiers were thrown back, with most of their body parts missing.
In the Samurai's amazement, all of his troupes were killed in the midair in just a blink. The few soldiers behind him began to shifting restlessly.
Suddenly, a soldier that had his left arm severed and his left-brain sliced in half, stood and started to shivering and stiffened. The rider's eyes narrowed toward the figure as it lift its face to the demon in the middle.
"Take him home." A female voice reached his ears. The soldier looked up and stares blankly at the rider. Its eyes were oddly red.
The rider quickly jumped down from the horse and knelt to the soldier. "My lady, it is unwise..."
A huge smack hit the rider's head with its right arm that made his headdress thrown on the ground. Naraku widened his eyes as he saw the face of Musou.
'Musou' was looking guilty and bowed down to the soldier. "My apology, my lady." He looked sideway toward Naraku and stiffened. "As you wish."
The soldier sighed and looked at Naraku and smirked. "I will be expecting." With that, the red eyes began to fade. The soldier staggered and falls on the ground, dead.
The beautiful face warrior stood without shame and glared at Naraku.
"You are saved, this time." He reached beneath his armor, produced huge amber, and held out to Naraku. Naraku saw what the samurai was doing and cast a shield. The amber glow and its light shone toward Naraku and hit the shield hard. Suddenly, the shield broke and the light hit hard on Naraku's chest. Naraku gasped as a red-hot fury in his body began to boil. He screamed and gasped on his breath.
"What... you... have done..." Naraku wheezed before he fall on the ground in pain.
The samurai threw away the once amber that had turned into an ordinary rock and marched toward the fallen Naraku. He nudged him with his toe and kicked him hard on his stomach. He then pulls Naraku's mask away which reveal the face of Naraku in pain.
"That was for my men, whoreson." The man said in satisfaction. He turned away and motioned his soldiers to pick Naraku up. The youkais comply, dragged Naraku, and tied him up.
Naraku tried to keep his conscious but he felt his power slowly fade away and he became weaker.
(Sorry for waiting so long, I was having my exams. So no time to type. And as you expected, Naraku is powerless right now... Hohohoho...)
