I DON'T OWN INUYASHA… BUT HEY, NEITHER DO YOU!
It was night time. The gang had passed through the village in hopes of finding some jewel shards but none were heard of. An old man form the village had took them in for the evening as guests while he told them the rumors of a demon who had been praying on priestesses and monks for some while now. The hut was small. There was a enough space for the gang to sit in though. Kagome sat next to Inuyasha as usual while Shippou found a spot as close to Kagome as possible. Miroku and Sango sat next to each other. The tiny Kilala found her spot on Sango's lap. The old man finally took a seat in the center where everyone could hear him.
"I've heard of a demon who has been a menace to Priestesses and Monks not to far from here. There is said to be caves deep within the forests where they walk through to get to the mountains." He said as he drank a sip of tea. As he finished he held his cup in his hands and continued as the others paid close attention. "I do believe there is a priestess around there right now observing the areas" he said and looked at Kagome.
Kagome looked curiously at the old man as he looked at her. He looked at the others and continued speaking.
"She actually looks a lot like you" he said. Everyone froze. They all knew he spoke about Kikyou.
Inuyasha looked down at the floor. His hair covered his eyes so that his friends couldn't see the look of sadness and worry in them. Kagome looked over to him and noticed how tense the ambient felt. She decided to proceed with the conversation.
"I see. So tell us more about this demon".
"I hear this creature attacks it's victims in their dreams" the old man said. That struck a cord in Kagome's memory.
Kagome grabbed her head as it began to hurt and she remembered broken bits and a pieces of the weird dream she had when she fell into a trance.
(Flash back)
"Is anyone here?" she asked. She wasn't surprised when she heard no response. She was getting worried and she felt lonely. She put her hands around her chest and hugged her upper body. She was scared and cold. What on earth was happening? She suddenly heard a voice talk to her.
"I see you have awakened Kagome. You do have a strong will" said a figure coming out of the dark. Kagome could only see it as a blur then suddenly the figure started to become clear and she could now see the outline of a person.
"You're a demon! Get away from me or you will regret it!" she said angrily.
The man laughed and stepped towards her.
"Clever girl. Of course I'm a demon but not just any kind. I'm an incubus" he said as he kept walking towards Kagome and she stepped back in fear. "I get into my victims dream and then kill them absorbing their power.
(End of flash back)
Everyone looked at Kagome with worry. Inuyasha took hold of her hand and made her face him while everyone else looked.
"Are you ok Kagome? What's going on" he said. He startled her a bit and she gained her composer. She looked into his golden eyes and relaxed. She then closed them and told the people in the room what happened.
"I'm fine. I just remembered a weird dream. It must have been when I passed out for a while the day you found me unconscious" she said. Everyone listened carefully.
"What did you see" asked Sango. Kagome looked down and gathered her thoughts. She tries to look back into what she had seen and describe what went on.
"It's a blur to me but I recall someone telling me that he was a demon and that he killed his victims by getting into their dreams. I think the demon said he was an incubus" she said. The old man was surprised. He nodded and spoke.
"That is exactly what this demon does. They attack their victims while they are sound asleep. Then they absorb one's soul and every form of vitality. It is said that they torment their victim's dreams till they die" said the old man said gaining everyone's attention. Inuyasha immediately stood up and made a fist.
"Well I say let's find this demon and finish it off. Besides, we have to put an end to the killing of priestesses and monks" he said.
Kagome understood why he wanted to go find it. It was his token to see and protect Kikyou. Even after Inuyasha professed his love for her he still cared for her deep down. What was she to do?
"Well then it's settled. We are off" said Inuyasha. Suddenly screams were heard all over the village. Everyone got up and rushed outside of the small hut and watched din horror as demons attacked the village. The demons were the same as the one who attacked Kagome earlier. The demons were tall and had their eyes in the deepest shade of red. They were muscular and strong but their appearance was repulsive. They brutally slayed a couple of villagers and damaged quite a few huts.
"These demons better get out of my way" said Inuyasha as he charged towards a small group of them. Inuyasha unsheathed his testsusaiga and ran towards the Oni. He took the demons one at a time swinging his blade through their flesh killing them quickly.
The others didn't hesitate to fight either. Sango rapidly grasped her Hiraikutsu and through it. It flew in the air tearing the demons apart in big numbers. Miroku sliced through others with his staff and through powerful sutras to destroy them. Kilala ran towards the demons and fought as well. Even Kagome got into the action. With her bow and arrows she aimed at various demons and hit them killing them instantly with her purified arrows. Shippou was seen running away from some demons till one of the gang eventually caught up and got rid of them.
"There are so many of them" said Sango as she leaned her back against Miroku's in battle. They were countless demons and so little battling. Miroku took a split second after hitting a demon hard in the stomach and sending him flying to the floor. Then he responded to Sango.
"Indeed they are great in number. We need to think of something fast or we will be in great danger" he said and both took off in opposite ways to finish off some of the other demons around.
Inuyasha cut through an Oni and landed safely on the ground. He grabbed his sword tightly and smiled. "This is a waist of time. These monsters are easy to beat. We will be done and out in no time". Then he heard Kagome scream. "INUYASHA!"
Inuyasha turned his head over towards her and saw how one of the demons lifted a giant piece of wood and was about to hit Kagome with it.
"KAGOME" he screamed as he ran towards her. Kagome turned her head the other ways and closed her eyes. She stood in one spot frozen and scared waiting for the worse to happen. Luckily Inuyasha made it on time and with a quick swift he sliced through the demon. The flesh of the demon fell around Kagome as she looked up to see Inuyasha's figure. She smiled and was relieved to be safe thanks to him. After landing from his previous move he ran towards Kagome. He put his hand on her cheek and looked into her eyes with worry.
"Are you ok Kagome?" he asked as he also examined her. She smiled at him and stared into his beautiful golden eyes.
"Yes. I'm fine. Thank you for saving me" she said. He gave her a grin that sent shivers down her spine. Then after making sure she was ok he leaped into the air and continued to slay demons.
Miroku was having a hard time not being able to get rid of too many demons so he extended his arm and undid the beads that sealed his wind tunnel. As he held the chain of bead he warned the others.
"Stay back and head for cover" he yelled. They nodded and moved away.
Sango whistled and Kilala quickly ran towards her. Sango mounted Kilala and unsheathed her small sword getting rid of the demons that got in her way. Shippou who was not to far away was being surrounded by the demons. So Sango rushed over and killed them with her hiraikutsu. Then she grabbed Shippou by his shirt and pulled him up onto Kilala's back. She then waved at Miroku giving him her "ok" to use his wind tunnel. Miroku nodded and unsealed his wind tunnel.
He reinforced the hand he stretched out with his other one as his wind tunnel sucked everything in. The demons were no match for Miroku's Kazaana for they were all being sucked into oblivion. Kagome had not been as lucky to be able to ran fast enough not to get caught. She was caught in the force and she was lifted into the air. Inuyasha kicked the oni he was fighting and rushed towards her rescue. He moved quickly and before anything bad could happen to her he grabbed her by her waist.
He swiftly carried her off bridal style and ran to safety. He ran to a safe distance and hugged Kagome while putting up an arm to cover her and himself from the flying objects heading towards Miroku. His haori flapped vigorously in the wind as did Kagome's Uniform. Miroku's wind tunnel took in every last demon and after all else was cleared he sealed his wind tunnel again with the prayer beads.
The village was partly destroyed and the villagers started to come out of the ruble and the places they took shelter in. Miroku hell on his knees and started to catch his breath. Sango and the rest joined them shortly. She hopped off Kilala and ran towards him. She caught him before falling to the ground and let him rest his head against her chest. He smiled weakly and spoke.
"I'm glad it's over. I see I got a great reward for taking in all of those demons" he said and moved his head slightly brushing his face across Sango's chest with the bit of energy he had left. Sango froze and her eyes flew wide open.
"This is hardly the time" she screamed and slapped him in the face. Then she elbowed his back down to the floor and pinned him there. Shippou looked at Kilala and sighed.
"Poor Miroku" he said jumping of Kilala. Kilala turned back into her small cat form and purred.
Inuyasha brought his arm down and looked down at Kagome. He rested his hand on her waist as he asked about her welfare.
"You ok Kagome?" he asked. Kagome nodded and flashed him a smile. IT was enough to make Inuyasha's stomach flip. Then they walked slowly towards Sango and the others.
After making sure everyone was alright they helped the villagers clear out the destructed parts and give the dead a proper burial. After that the villagers thanked the gang and offered them food and a place to stay for the night. The gang accepted and stayed in a hut that was luckily not really affected by the demons or the Miroku's wind tunnel. They all gathered by the small square with the fire place on the floor used for cooking and rested up. Everyone was tired and they decided to go to bed early. Miroku and Sango slept across Inuyasha and Kagome as usual and Shippou slept next to Kilala's small form. Inuyasha and Kagome were the only ones awake and they quietly got together in a corner of the hut.
"Thank you for saving me" Kagome said as she got closer to Inuyasha. She rested her head against his shoulder. Inuyasha blushed slightly and tilted his head down in order to rest his head on hers.
"It's nothing Kagome. I wouldn't know what I would do without you" he said earning a small giggle form Kagome. Then she got up and faced him. She looked into his eyes and placed a hand on his check. He looked into her eyes as well and they looked together. She was so beautiful. If only he would have seen it earlier. He was sure they would have a great life together if she accepted to be his mate. He would never let anyone hurt her and he would cherish her.
Kagome caressed his cheek and admired him as well. Gods why did he have to be so handsome? She asked herself. Then he leaned down and gave her a soft gentle kiss. He captured her lips and laid featherlike kissed on them. Then he pulled her close to him and hugged her.
"I won't let anyone or anything harm you Kagome" he said. Kagome nodded and with a big smile fell asleep in his arms. Inuyasha fell asleep shortly after.
Raidon cursed under his breath as he saw the image in the mirror. Apparently his demons were useless and weren't good enough to take on Inuyasha and the others. He would have to go to them himself if he wanted Kagome in his hands and the jewel shard under his power. Raidon waved his hand making the mirror disappear and turn into a light mist. When it vanished he turned around and walked towards the exit of his layer. Lia appeared out of the shadows and asked him what he was up to. Raidon stopped and still giving her his back spoke to her.
"I'm off to get the girl. The demons where of no use to me. Prepare everything and be ready for my return" he said and started walking again.
After Raidon left Lia ran to the big room where the altar was in and formed a mirror with her powers.
"I hope I get through them quickly before my brother can sense it. I just hope I'm not too late" she said as she looked into the image in her mirror. Inuyasha and Kagome were sleeping soundly in each other's arms. Lia closed her eyes and placed her finger on the image of Inuyasha. After that Inuyasha fell into a deeper sleep.
