Disclaimer- I don't own Inuyasha
Kagome the Cat Demon Chapter 9 Spawn #7
The Inuyasha-gumi had left the lord's manor.
" Hey Miroku, why were you so eager to leave?" asked Shippo. Miroku coughed nervously.
" I thought it was time for us to continue our journey." He said.
" You wanted to leave because the lord was about to kick us out because you wouldn't leave his daughter alone! Lecher!" said Sango. Miroku sweatdropped.
" Inuyasha, when will you teach me to use a sword?" asked Kagome.
" I'm not going to." He said.
" But you promised." Said Kagome.
" I never made a promise like that!" he insisted. Kouga's eyes went wide.
FLASHBACK
" Kouga you promised!" said a red haired female wolf demon.
" I never made a promise like that!" said Kouga.
" Yes you did! You promised to marry me when I was older and came back from the northern mountains!" the red head insisted.
" I never made such a promise!" said Kouga and ran. The red head fell to her knees and cried her heart out.
END FLASHBACK
"Hello? Kouga? Are you there?" asked Shippo, he was waving a hand in front of Kouga's face.
" Get away from me!" he said and backhanded Shippo.
" Kagome! Kouga's being mean to me!" he said. Kagome shot Kouga a reproving look.
" Kouga! Stop picking on Shippo, He's just a kid." She said. Kouga withered beneath her gaze. He also heard Inuyasha snicker.
" Lady Kagome, I've heard the lord of the nearby lands has been acting strangely. He may be possessed by a demon." Said Myouga.
" Feh, I'm tried of doing all these good deeds for nothing." Said Innuyasha.
" But milord, the demon might have a shard of the Sacred Jewel." Said Myouga.
" In that case what are we waiting for?" he asked. Everyone sweatdropped.
" He sure has a one track mind." Said Sango.
" All he ever talks about is the Jewel or Kagome." Said Miroku. Myouga lead them to the Manor.
" We wish to see the lord of this manor." Said Miroku. " We hear he is under the weather." The guards gave them pass.
" Milord, a group of travelers have requested an audience with you." Said a footman.
" What are their names?" asked the lord.
" A miko named Kagome, a dog Hanyou Inuyasha, a Kitsune."
" Did you say Kagome and Inuyasha!" demanded the lord.
" Yes milord."
" Send them in." said the lord. The Inuyasha gumi walked into the room, Innuyasha's nose twitched.
" I smell Naraku." He said. Everyone stiffened.
" The lord will see you now." Said a guard. The lord was covered in Bandages.
" Hello milord, we have come to see if we can assist you in your recovery." Said Miroku.
" You can help me by DYING!" Said the lord. He began to change. His shoulders become broader, he grew dangerously sharp claws, his height and width at least doubled. His body changed from skin to stone. His head resembled Gushingki.
" I am Naraku's 7th incarnation, Kohakamaru!" Said the Demon. He raised his hands and began glowing, the earth began to shake.
" Everyone run!" shouted Kagome. They all got out of the manor as quickly as they could. Everyone drew his or her weapons as Kohakamaru emerged.
" Lord Naraku gave me strict orders to get rid of all of you." Said the spawn. Miroku reached for the prayer beads on his cursed hand.
" I wouldn't do that monk!" said the spawn, swarms of bee demons appeared around him.
' Naraku's poisonous insects." Thought Miroku. Sango threw her Hiraikotsu, it thudded against the demon's stone skin but did no damage. She drew her sword. Inuyasha looked for the wind scar. He drew Tesiguia and slashed right through it. The demon was reduced to ruble.
" No problem." Said Inuyasha. The stones started to move and reformed.
" Nice try Mutt Face!" said Kouga. He turned to Kagome. " Never send a half-breed to do a full demon's work." He ran toward Kohakamaru and slashed at him with his claws, he continued attacking until he was batted away by a stone hand. All of Kohakamaru's injuries healed themselves.
" You can't beat me. I'm a combination of bits of Naraku and stones that were drenched entirely with the vengeful blood of others, their malice is an unlimited source of power for me."
" What's wrong Mangy wolf? He too tough for you?" asked Inuyasha mockingly.
" You shouldn't talk Mutt face."
" If you guys quit fighting each other and fought him together, we'd have won by now." said Kagome
" I'll get him sister." Said Kathy.
" Inuyasha, Kouga, help her." said Kagome , she notched some arrows to her bow and shot them off at Kohakamaru. He swatted them away but winced in pain each time. The three demons all attacked at once. Inuyasha with Tesiguia, Kouga and Kathy fought tooth and claw. But after every attack, Kohakamaru would just regenerate. His hands turned to spiked maces and he bashed Kouga and Kathy aside. Then howled in pain as more scared arrows were fired at him. A piece of rock in the shape of a spear emerged from within him. He hurled it Kagome, then stuck his hands into the ground. She tried to dodge but Kohakamaru hands had grabbed her feet from underneath her. She closed her eyes and braced herself. She heard someone gasp. She opened her eyes and was ready to cry.
The rock spear was growing out of Inuyasha's back. He fell backwards, but the rock spear propped him up so he lay limp in the air.
' He was trying to protect me.' Thought Kagome, she felt immense sorrow for Innuyasha, but it quickly turned to hate towards the one that hurt him. The hands let go and Kagome ran to Inuyasha. She got him off the rock spear and lay gnetlyon the ground.
" Inuyasha, are you ok? Say something!"
" Just... a ...fleshwound." Inuyasha managed to get out before collasping.
" Take care of Inuyasha." Kagome said to her friends. " I'll take care of rock head." Kohakamaru lunged at Kagome, she avoided easily. After several passes Kohakamaru grew impatient.
" You can't run forever! You'll get tired soon " he shouted.
" So will you." Said Kagome. The evil Spawn decided another tactic.
" Your right. I will get tired eventually. Too bad your strategy will take too long. By the time you beat me, your precious half-breed will already be dead. You'll never get to say goodbye." he said with a taunting smile. Kagome was filled with rage. She charged, her foe sidestepped and brought his stone hand heavily down on her back. If she had been in human form, the blow would have broken every bone in her spine. But since she was a demon, it only hurt like hell. Kohakamaru made to stomp on her but she rolled aside. Kohakamru stomped on her stomach and Kagome coughed up blood.
'This is usually when Inuyasha saves me, I wish he was here now.' She thought.
'But he already saved you once this battle. He can't always be there to protect you. Are you going to be a damsel in distress for the rest of your life?' asked a voice.
'No, I can do this!' thought Kagome. She dug her claws into Kohakamrua's skin and felt him move his foot and howl in pain.
'My miko powers must be especially effective.' Thought Kagome. ' I wish a had an attack like Innuyasha' she thought. Then had an idea. She lunged at the evil spawn, with her claws extended, they began to glow with a pink light.
" Miko Tessou(Shrine Madien's Iron Claw)!" she yelled when she dug her claws into Kohakamaru's stomach she went right through, creating a big hole in his middle.
' I did it, I did it!' she thought. Kohakamaru started to laugh. The hole in the middle mended itself.
" I told you, I'm invincible!" He said, but then his body started to expand, with beams of light cutting through him. " This can't be!" he shouted as his body exploded, this time not reforming. Kagome ran to catch up with the others. She found them in the Manor's infirmary. All of them had some kind of injury, but Inuyasha wasn't there.
" Is Inuyasha ok?" Kagome asked Sango. Sango shrugged and pointed to the door at the end of room. People in there were franticly trying to heal him but to no avail.
" Everyone out. I can handle it." At first everyone was hesitant, but she told them she had miko powers so they left. Kagome walked over to Inuyasha. She placed her hands gently in his stomach and let her miko energy flow into him, within moments, his wound was healed. Innuyasha opened his eyes.
" Kagome?"
"INUYASHA!" Kagome hugged him. Innuyasha looked at her face, she was beaming with joy.
' She really cares for me. I should tell her the truth.' Thought Inuyasha. "Kagome, the reason I can't bear seeing you hurt, and the reason I get so mad when Kouga courts you is...I.. I love you." He said softly. Kagome's heart skipped several beats.
' He loves me? But I thought he loved Kikyo." Thought Kagome, as if reading her thoughts Inuyasha spoke up again.
" I don't love Kikyo, I just felt lonely back then, and I thought she understood me. I was happy when she was revived but when I saw what she had become, I wasn't anymore. She had become hateful and .evil. You're my true love Kagome." Then he gently cupped her face and kissed her. Kagome was still shocked by what happened but soon kissed him back. Her arms went around his neck, and his fell to her waist as the kiss deepened and became more passionate. Kagome parted her lips and allowed Innuyasha's tongue entry. After 10 minutes(Demons have greater lung capacity then humans)They reluctently broke the kiss. Kagome rested her head Innuyasha's chest.
" Oh Inuyasha, I love you too." She said. Soon after she said that. Her breathing became more even and relaxed.
' She fell asleep. The battle must have worn her out' Thought Inuyasha. He gently rolled over so she was on the bottom and tried to pull back, but Kagome's arms were still around his neck, she meowed in protest subconsciously pulled him back sensing the loss of warmth. Innuyasha couldn't bring himself to wake her. So he lay down beside her. Kagome snuggled closer to him. He slipped his arms around her waist and her held her close, this caused her to purr happily.
'Sweet dreams Kagome.' Thought Innuyasha as he too fell asleep.
I apologize if the first part was boring. But I'm happy with how the rest of the chapter went. Please Review.
