Inu Yasha arrived at the scene; the ground soaked with crimson blood, the
metallic smell overpowering his canine senses. He quickly covered his nose
with the sleeve of his red haori. "What in the hell happened here? It's
manslaughter; it looks like a one-sided battle, but then who would've slain
all these men?" he spoke, not expecting the answer that came; "they
happened... the army, someone warn them...there's more coming." A ragged voice
spoke, unclear but obviously feminine.
Inu Yasha searched for the voice and found it smothered underneath a large piece of red-stained wood, he lifted it up effortlessly as Miroku dove underneath with and came back up with a woman in his arms; she had long beautiful sapphire locks, which matched her eyes; her pale skin was stained with her both partially dried and flowing blood, her kimono, clearly once a white silver as the edges still that pure color now drenched in dirt and blood from herself as well as others.
"What happened?" Miroku questioned the woman looking down at her in concern. She turned her young face to him, opening her sea-blue colored eyes "I had to save my Kagome-daughter, please warn her they are still coming." The woman explained, her voice almost unclear with such a strong rasp. "Kagome?!? Where'd that wench go off to?" Inu Yasha questioned the woman, suddenly becoming interested. Her eyes widened as she looked at Inu Yasha, realizing just who he was.
"I will not tell the likes of you! You are the very one she carries hatred for. Inu Yasha, you're name shall forever bring hatred in her mind, leave her be" Kameko defended her daughter, as she became cross. "Fine wench, die!" Inu Yasha yelled, effortlessly slicing her head off with his free hand, shock Miroku as she dropped her head-less body. "Inu Yasha! You are becoming dangerous! Stop this now!" Miroku yelled with shaky breaths. "Shut up monk! We need that wench, we need Kagome." Inu Yasha said as his eyes flashed the crimson of his demon form. Miroku dropped silent and pale as he nodded, in fear of what would happen if he didn't.
Sesshoumaru was still a good few miles away from Kameko's home, where he had left his beloved Kagome, but with thoughts of her flooding through his mind, he quickly increased his running pace, ignoring the green braches hitting his face and body. He breathed in, imagining her scent, which seemed so real but buried within time and the forest. He skidded to a stop and sniffed again, it was her scent! He felt a sickening feeling of worry arise in him as he quickly ran, faster than what he had thought possible to Kameko's home. He arrived in what seemed like hours but was merely seconds to see the blood soaked ground, Kameko's body, as well as countless other bodies, her house destroyed, and the thick metallic scent stuck in the air as well as the scent of his half-brother. "Inu Yasha!" Sesshoumaru shouted.
He ran over to the bodies, searching for Kagome's, which he never found. He felt his honey colored eyes water, he shook his head however knowing that Kagome must be alive, remembering her scent within the forest. He quickly knelt in pray for Kameko's soul, and quickly leapt up following Kagome's scent back into the forest. 'Kagome, I will kill Inu Yasha for killing these men and Kameko and most likely nearly killing you as well.' He thought to himself, becoming even more furious with his half brother.
Kagome sat in the room in silence, waiting her Leiko to return with her father, she closed her eyes and breathed deeply, trying to relax herself, to slow her still racing heart. She relaxed herself completely, she was in a village, and she was safe here. It was that exact moment that thought echoed through her mind that a hand wrapped over her mouth and arms, as another set of arms wrapped themselves around her legs. She gasped as her eyes flew open in shock, her screams were muffled, but she quickly focused on her strength within herself, and then pushed out a blast of energy sending the two men flying. She scurried to her feet, grabbing her backpack, which was by the door, which she quickly raced through out to the dirt walkway that connected the village.
She looked at things, using her powers to discover this whole place was corrupted! There wasn't one thing pure in the area! Kagome looked around as it felt as if time slowed, turning around, sensing everything with a more clear light. 'I can't escape this . . . I can't fight them . . . Sesshoumaru, where are you?' Kagome thought to herself, as the countless demons, of every color, every size attacked her at once, engulfing her within their massive combined power.
Sesshoumaru inhaled deeply, smelling traces of Kagome, her beautiful scent, which had been engraved in his memory, the very scent he would always love so much. Two other scents quickly entered his nose however, one of a monk and his half brother, Inu Yasha. He halted to a stop, he would take care of his brother before he saw Kagome again, no matter what. He turned slightly and began running again following Inu Yasha and the monk's path.
He quickly made a mental note to not kill the monk he has remembered Kagome telling him how he was her friend and the Demon slayer's lover. He continued onward, sensing his brother's presence and smelling the stench of Inu Yasha. He cringed internally, something wasn't right with it, he put the though out of his mind and rushed faster, feeling them so close. He halted to a stop suddenly in the middle of the dense sea of green, creating a brown-white cloud of dirt.
"Inu Yasha. I had never imagined that even you would kill so many humans, a dear friend of our family and nearly Kagome as well, if you had ever once carried honor you half-breed, tonight you have lost it all. You hurt the one I loved repeatedly, you hurt me, you killed countless humans and demons alike. Say goodbye Inu Yasha!" Sesshoumaru yelled, charging at red clad hanyou who was frozen in shock; Sesshoumaru threw his hand across him, grabbing the hilt of Tokijin and quickly unsheathing the blade as soon as he was a foot away from Inu Yasha pulling the sword up, slicing the hanyou across his abdomen. Inu Yasha screamed as he tumbled backwards, falling into a sitting position as he quickly pushed himself up, grabbing the hilt of tetsusaiga he pulled it out of the sheath, to real the old sword, rusted and falling apart.
Inu Yasha went pale with shock and worry; he looked at his brother, with a smug grin stretched across his face, his eyes slowly becoming red, as his fangs became longer. "Inu Yasha, it seems you can no longer use the fang our dear departed father left you." Sesshoumaru said grinning openly for the first time in years, besides the times he had been with Kagome and Rin. "It doesn't matter, that blade is useless anyhow, I don't need it to defeat you my brother, just my claws will do." Inu Yasha said, throwing the tetsusaiga aside, allowing sliding on the ground away from him. "Blades of blood!" Inu Yasha yelled as he raised his bloodied clawed hand high above his head and dropped it suddenly releasing the blades created from the blood of his wounds. Sesshoumaru jumped up, high in the air, avoiding the useless attempts of attacking him down below him.
"This is rather entertaining isn't it? I must say, my handy work is beautiful, no one, not even his lovers could tell the difference, they were unable to tell the real thing from my puppet." Naraku chuckled, his red eyes filled with sadistic pleasure. He quickly stood from his black marble chair, walking through the black stone hallway, over to the cage, where the silver haired man was kept, the curse is all the kept him in; "Don't you love this? Your little lover couldn't even tell it wasn't the real you, she didn't know. I'm so close to getting her, I'm going to get Kagome, since I already have Kikyou." Naraku laughed at the anger he could see in the honey eyed boy as he mentioned Kagome.
"You hurt her! I will never forgive you! She is mine to protect! I love her! Naraku you will die for this, you first cause Kikyou and me to hate each other and for her to die, now you made Kagome think I betrayed her! You made her fall for my brother!" Inu Yasha yelled, tears flowing from his eyes as he tried to grab Naraku's purple top, but was blocked by the black energy field keeping him contained, he screamed as it burned his flesh, blood hitting the ground from his severely burned hand. He pulled it to his bear chest, applying pressure to it. "You're the reason of this war . . . You cause it all! You were planning this all along!" Inu Yasha yelled, sinking to the ground. "Very good little one, but not good enough, it's too late to save anyone now." Naraku laughed, his ebony locks shacking. "She is already dead I'm sure Inu Yasha. If not she will come here and become mine sooner than you think." Naraku's voice echoed as he pointed to the screen of which he had been watching Sesshoumaru fight his "brother". It quickly changed to a scene of thousands of demons in a green field surrounding something, overpowering it and incasing it in some kind of web. "In the center of that is Kagome." He laughed. Inu Yasha stared at the screen in horror, 'Kagome.'
'I. . . I can't go on like this for much longer . . . they're too strong . . . I . . . I don't know what to do, I was so blind, how did I get into this?' Kagome thought to herself, keeping what small shield she had around herself up, the white glowing too pure for the demons to break. She was so afraid, she was stuck, huddled in a little ball, her knees pulled tight to her chest and her arms wrapped around her legs; she buried her head in her knees, her ebony locks creating a veil, 'What am I going to do?' Kagome asked herself. 'Kagome don't give in yet, think, you know you can't give in, you have someone to live for now. All of these demons carry bug like characteristics, bugs live on plants, plants weakness is fire, so if I use a fire incantation, they'll be blasted away!' Kagome remembered to herself, 'Thank you Kameko!' She said smiling.
She stood up in her shield and intertwined her fingers together, intro a praying style, she closed her blue-gray eyes, "Passion burning with in my soul," She began, she pulled her hands apart, keeping her hands lightly cupped, "Eternal flame burning within my soul" she lifted both her hands above her head, as sparks began flying in-between them; "Burn all of the impurity around me; Embers of purity!" Kagome shouted opening her eyes, and dropped her shield the exact moment she sent her flames flying in every direction, the screams of her enemies ringing in her ears as the smell of their burning flesh entered her nose. She coughed as she sank to her knees in relief.
