Chapter 10 – Shikon No Tama Destroyed
"Senta," Poa said. "Is that you?" Poa did not really know why Senta was there. Her duty was to take care of Kingdom Sky when Poa was not around. Senta just smiled, and yet did not move.
Inuyasha was confused. He was considering whether he would have to fight Poa and Senta at the same time because it looks like they are on the same side.
On the other side, no one really had any reaction towards Senta. "She looks like a dragon in her human form." Miroku said to Kagome and Sango.
Senta suddenly walked towards Kagome, Sango and Miroku. Poa was confused thinking she was seeing things. "Mistress Senta! What are you doing? I demand an explanation at once!" Poa was furious because Senta was interrupting her battle with Inuyasha.
As soon as Senta heard 'mistress', her smile twisted into anger. Then she attacked Sango. She was still in her human form, so she was not strong enough against Sango. Miroku and Kagome helped out too. Senta was no match for the three of them, so she turned into her true form.
Poa's anger was building up. "SENTA! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Poa was going to go after Senta to stop her from attacking them but Inuyasha went after her. She blocked him again with Tetsuso. The two keep fighting and both blocking each other.
On the other battle
Senta was breathing fire towards them and Miroku tried to hold the fire up with his staff as long as he can so Kagome and Sango can attack her. Kirara took them up in the sky without Miroku, who was still trying to block the fire. Kagome takes aim with her bow and arrow and shoots Senta in her neck. She falls on the ground with Kagome's arrow stuck in her neck. They came back down and thought that Senta was dead, but she was just moaning in pain while she turned back into her human form.
Back to Inuyasha and Poa's Battle
Poa does not seem to be paying much attention to their battle. Finally, they break off just for a while. "Why are you playing so easy?" Inuyasha complained. "Come on! Act tough!"
Suddenly the wind blew. Inuyasha wanted to use the Wind Scar. He was so close when someone arrived. It was the mysterious man in the forest who had met Senta.
Lenos recognized him and yelled to Poa. "Hey! That was the man Senta was with last night!"
Senta got up and ran to the man. He was still not visible. Kagome gasped. "That man has a shikon shard!" Kagome pointed at him. "It is in his hand. But that's not possible."
"I recognize that smell!" He took his place ready to begin another battle. "Naraku, show yourself!"
Shippo got scared while the others took caution. The man showed his face at once and it was Naraku. Poa was so confused because she had not seen Naraku before. "Who are you and why do you have my – Senta?" Poa was so upset. She could not believe that Senta would betray her after what she had done for her. "How could you do this to me?"
"Pathetic humans." Senta said with a nasty look on her face. "I had to put up with you all my life!" You are younger than me and I have to listen to you?" Senta is a five hundred year old dragon still looking young in her human form. "I am not really in the mood for talking. All we have to do here is kill you all and take the shards!"
Poa's hands started bleeding again. She was in pain for some reason. Inuyasha was pissed and very eager to kill Naraku, so he ran to Naraku with the Tetsusaiga and yelled. "Shut up! You bastard!" When he slashed his sword, he flew back falling on the ground really hard because of Naraku's shield. Inuyasha could not get up; he was stuck on the ground and could not see nor speak. Suddenly Poa was afraid and she breathed heavily with her hands still bleeding.
"Do not try to get up Inuyasha." Naraku said. "You are stuck there this time.
The gang tried to help him up but it was no use. Naraku and Senta were laughing then he turned to Poa and stopped. Lenos turned to his enormous dragon form and stepped in front of Poa to protect her. Senta was going to go with Naraku, but he held up his right hand stopping her. Lenos growled and roared at him. Naraku chuckled then hit Lenos with his hand (the one with the shard). Lenos was stuck on the ground just like Inuyasha. Sango, Miroku and Kirara (with Shippo) ran to Naraku and tried to attack him as well, but they got stuck on the ground similar to Inuyasha and Lenos. "You are no match for me at all. Very weak and despicable!" Naraku said with disgust. He walked forward to Poa, who was in great pain. Her chest started hurting and burning up that made her sit on the ground. Poa throws her arrows towards Kagome. What the heck am I supposed to do with this? Kagome thought. Naraku then held up his right hand and said nicely. "Let me help you."
With all of Poa's might, she stabbed Naraku's hand while the shikon shard flew to Kagome and formed the whole shikon no tama, which floated in the air. Poa fell on the ground again and yelled to Kagome. "Shoot the jewel with my arrow and destroy it!"
Kagome, who still looked blank, was confused and thought that Poa was crazy. "Are you crazy? The jewel will scatter into little pieces again like what happened before!"
"No! My arrow is just different ok? JUST DO IT!" Kagome got scared and just obeyed her. Kagome finally shot the Jewel. It glowed so bright and disappeared into thin air. Poa smiled and still in great pain while the others were still stuck on the ground.
Naraku screamed and growled in anger. He walked up to Senta, who was so frightened, and cut her into pieces. "I do not need you anymore!"
"No Senta…" Poa cried.
Naraku walked towards Poa, who tried to back away, and grabbed her by the throat, choking her. She tried to get off, but she hardly had any energy left. Kagome shot Naraku in his chest using her own arrow. He looked at Kagome and she too was stuck on the ground.
Poa leaned on a tree and Naraku walked towards her with her Tetsuso. "I hear this sword can do great things." Naraku smiled with his bleeding arm and chest. "Let me test it…"
"You shall burn in hell!" Poa tried to speak, but it was too late. Naraku stabbed her in her heart. She then slowly died.
Naraku was laughing so hard. Proud of his work that he had done. He walked towards Inuyasha and everyone on the ground. "I'll leave you all to rot!" He said. "Have fun!" He disappeared leaving drops of blood on his track.
At the end of Inuyasha's forest lay Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango, Miroku, Kirara, Shippo, and Lenos blind and stuck on the ground sweating. Poa leaned on a tree dead. Her blood flowed all over, in the soil and in the water.
