Sesshoumaru watched proudly as the black shield surrounding his mate started to crack. He smirked at the evil hanyou in front of him.
"She will beat you..." he said coldly, locking his knees and forcing himself upright. Pain lanced through his body and he gritted his teeth. Pain was irrelevant and definitely not new to him.
Naraku snarled, his beautiful cold face distorted into an ugly mask of rage.
"She will not!" he spat, gathering his youki for another attack on the injured taiyoukai. "She will stay in that prison... tormented by darkness... and I will show her your image and that of your offspring..."
Naraku sneered at the prone forms drenched in blood behind the usually stoic youkai.
"She will see how you felt nothing when her children were killed!"
Sesshoumaru started gathering his youki as well, shielding what he was doing from the crazed demon before him. He was not a fool and could see what the half-breed was doing. Fortune must have been on his side however, as he could tell it would take Naraku longer to gather his ki because of his numerous injuries.
Sesshoumaru bared his fangs and tightened his grip on the sword buried into the ground at his feet.
"You obviously do not know my mate," he growled. Naraku grinned evilly.
"I know this, taiyoukai.." he said. Then his face contorted, giving him a maddened look of rage and yet at the same time, satisfaction.
"She. Will. DIE!!!"
Naraku attacked, spreading his miasma to suffocate the dog demon and then sent ut his many tentacles to strangle him to death.
In a quick move, Sesshoumaru pulled his Toukijin out from the ground and crossed it with his Tenseiga which had, until then, rested at his hip. The two swords balanced each other perfectly and started to glow, working together in order to protect their injured master.
Tenseiga glowed a bright neon green, it's aura clashing with the blood red of Toukijin's light.
The two aura's merged and formed an unbreakable shield around Sesshoumaru, Toukijin lending strength while Tenseiga purified the air to reveal the scheming hanyou.
The black shield to Naraku's left crackled loudly, violet lightning circling around it. Naraku screamed, seeing beams of light escaping from several cracks. Desperately, he tried to apply his youki to make the shield stronger but the green holy energy escaping purified it before any could reach the black dome.
Naraku looked on in horror as the cracks gave birth to more cracks and so on until the whole dome had a green glow around it from all the energy.
Sesshoumaru lowered his swords and smirked weakly at the outraged and terrified hanyou.
"I told you, half-breed..." he said, swaying a little. "She will beat you!"
The glow around the shield intensified and it shattered like glass, releasing the flood of green hold energy it had been holding within. The energy gathered and took the form of a hawk before shooting straight into Naraku's chest, purifying him from the inside out. Naraku screamed in pain as his body turned to ash and an unnatural wind blew the ashes away, destroying what was left of the evil being.
Sesshoumaru sighed and dropped his swords, barely registering the loud clang of metal hitting stone before he fell forward, losing consciousness.
"Ka...go...me..."
