I own my pets. That is all.
Chapter 21
Miroku, Inuyasha and Sango were all pelting Sesshomaru with everything they had. Claws, the shakujo, Kirara and a katana, all ramming at the few soft spots they could find. Sesshomaru was not enjoying the group ganging up on him, but he figured it was nothing, so he wasn't too annoyed. He got his small revenge by kicking and snapping at the group, occasionally finding his mark.
'Ok, everybody stand back!' Miroku yelled, preparing to use his Wind tunnel. (A/N: I know he probably would have tried this before but. . . oh well)
Jaken's annoying laugh again filled the hallway. 'Are you really going to use that thing in here? Did you not notice that you cannot take in Sesshomaru without dragging in at least one of your friends? This hallway is much too small for such a large attack. I consider you revise your plan.' Miroku growled, but re-wrapped the beads around his wrist. He wasn't going to risk losing anyone; especially not Sango. . .
Comforting Kagome, Akako witnessed it all. The three were doing alright at keeping Sesshomaru at bay, but at the rate they were going, there wasn't much chance for victory. They might be able to run, but she wasn't sure they could find their way out, especially not if Sesshomaru was on their tail. He was sure to know short cuts in his own house.
'I guess I should help,' Akako thought. 'Oh well, I guess I hid it from the world long enough. And it's not like the whole world will find out. Just these people who I've come to think of as my friends. Could be worse, I suppose. . .'
Akako stood up and closed her eyes. Sesshomaru, sensing a threat, turned around and faced Akako. Realizing she was summoning a great power, Sesshomaru headed towards her, teeth flashing in the bright lights. Inuyasha flew towards Sesshomaru's neck, screaming 'Iron Reaver Soul Stealer!', hoping to distract Sesshomaru long enough to give Akako time for whatever she was doing. He figured that they could use all the help they could get.
Akako's red hair suddenly turned flaming red. Then they realized that it wasn't just the color, but her hair had actually turned into fire. She started to open her eyes, and every one else expected her eyes to be of flame too. However, when she opened them, they were an even more startling blue then they usually were; a blue like the sea. She lifted her hands up and a howling wind ripped through the hallway, seemingly from nowhere. Vines started to crawl around her arms and pop out from underneath her kimono. Akako smiled as a startling power surged through her. Light streamed out of her ears and mouth as she began to chant. Sesshomaru started to rush at Akako, hoping to stop her before her ritual was complete, but as he ran towards her he was knocked back. Akako smiled and looked at Inuyasha. Inuyasha backed away, scared of this lighted torch of a woman. Akako smiled even wider as she sent a spiral of flame and air towards Inuyasha. On reflex, Inuyasha held up Tetsusaiga. Akako's smile widened. Tetsusaiga grew back to it's natural strength, and Inuyasha could feel it pulsing. Inuyasha looked at Akako, amazed, and then back at his sword. 'Couldn't hurt to try. . .' Inuyasha thought as he jumped towards the struggling Sesshomaru. Cutting at his stomach, Inuyasha cut deep into Sesshomaru, allowing massive amounts of blood to seep out onto the floor.
Inuyasha was still pissed about Sesshomaru kidnaping Kagome, so wounding Sesshomaru wasn't enough for him. He headed towards Sesshomaru's neck, ready to cast the final blow. As he raised Tetsusaiga, a giant wall of dirt, wood and plants rose between him and Sesshomaru.
'We cannot allow you to kill mercilessly,' Akako said in a trance like tone. 'It is not right. Now leave here.' As Akako said these last words, the fire from her hair sprang up and danced around her, then headed towards the door. The door burst into flames, so hot that Sango and Miroku had to step back quickly. As soon as the door was completely obliterated, Akako's hair went out, her eyes went back to their normal turquoise color and the vines disappeared with the wind and Akako collapsed.
***
Akako awoke with the air swirling around her and a soft, furry body underneath. She smiled, knowing that she had helped in some way, and they were all now safe and leaving Sesshomaru behind. She kept her eyes closed, enjoying all the other sensations around her. She knew as soon as she opened her eyes she would be bombarded with questions, and she was enjoying the peaceful silence. She was still incredibly tired from the fight, but she couldn't fall back to sleep. She decided she mine as well get the interrogation over with and she sat up, stretching and yawning as she did so.
'You're awake!' Sango noticed, smiling widely. 'Thanks a lot for what you did back there. That was amazing! You never told me you could do that! It's so cool.'
Shippo nodded in agreement with Sango. Akako realized he had a giant bandage on his head that was protruding from his forehead because of the giant bump underneath it. She smiled at them for the praise, but realized they had no idea what it really was she did. She was glad about this and didn't bother to tell them. Maybe she could get away with being who she was and they'd never have to know. . .
She then looked at Miroku, who was holding Sango's hand, and immediately knew that he, in fact, knew. However, he didn't seem bothered by the fact, only. . .puzzled? She couldn't really read the expression on his face, so she decided to leave it alone.
'Is anybody else famished?' Sango asked. Kirara was closer to the ground so as to be closer to Inuyasha who was running with Kagome gladly on his back.
'Yeah, I could go for some ramen,' Kagome smiled up at her. Inuyasha's ears perked up at the sound of "ramen" and he quickly agreed that they should stop.
'Wait, where's the ramen? Who has it?' Inuyasha asked. 'Wait. . . did anybody pick up Kagome's bag?'
They all shook their heads and realized that they had left Kagome's bag back in the clearing where Sesshomaru had first captured her.
'Wait. . . where are the jewel shards?' Inuyasha asked.
Everyone stayed silent until Kagome burst out laughing. 'You guys worry too much! I got food from Sesshomaru's palace and I took back the jewel shards he stole from me. But wow, I really had you guys going! You should of seen your faces!'
Everyone else started laughing with Kagome, except for Inuyasha, who failed to see the humor in what Kagome had done; the jewel shards were no laughing matter. Kagome noticed this and ruffled his hair, smiling hugely. Inuyasha decided to let it go, just this once, and a tiny smile crept onto his face. It was good to have Kagome back.

A/N: ok, not that long, but I'M NOT DONE YET! Although that would be a good place to end it. . . BUT! Do NOT think that this is the end! There is more coming! It's not MUCH more, but it is more. I know, I know, you were hoping that the torture was over, but not yet! Mwahahaha! (There ya go Caitlin, just for you) oh, and I just saw the amount of reviews I have and DAMN! 92! BUT, I would like to break 100. . .please! That'd be AWESOME! Thanx! Luv y'all! -Abster
