Chapter Five: The New Moon
Summary: When the gang discovers a sphinx and save a village that's being haunted by its riddle, they see Sesshomaru and another young demon girl… but she isn't his lover. She's his sister… so what does Inuyasha know about her! But then, suddenly, something threatens to kill ALL… and so Sesshomaru and Inuyasha team up to destroy that thing… but everything has a price. Supposed to be the third movie.
Disclaimer: Hikari Daeron doesn't own Inuyasha or any of its movies. Sounga is in Swords of an Honorable Ruler. She does own Koseina, though.
"WIND SCAR!"
Sesshomaru brandished Tokjin in a crescent, which cut the Wind Scar cleanly in two. He was then a blur, running towards Inuyasha, and would have stabbed him cleanly in the stomach if he had not brought up the Tetsusaiga to block. They were inches away from each other, but then Inuyasha broke away and aimed another Wind Scar.
Sesshomaru jumped up, into the air, and slashed with his whip. Sparks flew as it hit the Tetsusaiga's barrier. Inuyasha grunted before running towards Sesshomaru. His brother's hand flitted and went through his chest. Inuyasha stopped, but then wrenched himself away and, with an, "IRON REAVER SOUL STEALER!" slashed at his brother.
Sesshomaru paused, feeling his cheek where his brother had landed his attack. Inuyasha dug into his wound and flecked his wrist towards Sesshomaru. "BLADES OF BLOOD!"
Sesshomaru, the fury showing in his face, jumped. "You, a mere half-demon, able to land an attack on me?" His eyes pulsed red as he started to transform.
Night had fallen. The wind was still strong, and the clouds rolled away to show no moon.
"The night of the new moon," gasped Sango, glancing at her friends. "It's the night when Inuyasha turns into a mortal…"
"He'll be killed," said Miroku. "INUYASHA! GET OUT OF THERE!"
"Eh?" Inuyasha was busy dodging his brother's lunges. He was finding it increasingly difficult, but then, looking up, realized why.
"SIT!" shouted Kagome, pointing at him, as Sesshomaru narrowly missed pouncing on him. Inuyasha looked at his hair and realized that it was turning black. The night was dark, and so his brother wouldn't be able to see.
But suddenly, he had a great idea.
The Tetsusaiga in its scabbard, he lunged past his demon brother and towards the tree. Running as fast as he possibly could, he entered into the pulsing bubble.
It felt like jelly, but nonetheless he waded through it. He glimpsed a reflection of his brother, wildly looking for him. He smirked and made his way to the sword.
Once he reached the middle, he realized that it was no longer filled with the jelly-like substance, but just air. His sister was still in a trance in the center. He passed her and nearly reached the sword when he heard her voice.
Mortal, do not touch that sword.
He stayed silent, knowing that, the moment he spoke, she would know it was him.
You will be killed.
More silence.
Sounga draws its powers from Hell itself. It will unleash demons from that netherworld faster than you can blink. It will consume you, and then go looking for a demon that cannot control it, and consume it. One by one it will look for demons and destroy them, until it has found a full demon that has equal or greater power than itself.
Inuyasha looked at the sword calmly, and picked up the scabbard…
