Chapter 4
"Lord Sesshoumaru!"-"You don't belong here Rin." Rin fell silent to the stern tone of her protector's voice. "You could of caused more trouble for yourself and I if the monster saw you." He answered quickly.
"I'm sorry Lord Sesshoumaru…" She admitted sadly.
"Where is Jaken?" He asked in a firm voice; ignoring her sad expression.
"Down there…running away…" She admitted; pointing to the fleeing toad youkai as the two dropped to the ground.
"As always…" He muttered.
The serpent demon roars as he blasts another fireball in Sesshoumaru's direction.
Seeing the fireball Sesshoumaru immediately gets in front of Rin and defend against the attack with Tokijin.
"Wretched beast…" Sesshoumaru growled as he kept his guard and deflected the fireball attack.
"What's wrong Sesshoumaru! Too much for you!" The monster teased as he watched Sesshoumaru defend instead of attack like he did earlier.
"Forget about him! You should worry more about ME! Inuyasha yelled proudly as he gathered up the energy necessary to perform Tetsuagai's second most powerful attack.
"SHI'NE!" The beast's eyes glowing as he started to attack.
Through the misty winds of Inuyasha's oncoming attack; Kagura smiles; awaiting the blast.
"WIND SCAR!" Inuyasha yelled; the torrents of wind thrusting themselves off of his blade.
"Inuyasha…!" Kagome yelled. "Kagura is there!" "She'll reflect the Wind Scar back at him like last time!" She thought; remembering what happened the first time Inuyasha dealt with Kagura.
"Oh no Inuyasha…not yet…" Kagura smiled as her sister began to reflect his attack with her mirror.
"The Wind Scar will be thrown back at us all!" Jaken cried as he watched the Wind Scar change direction.
"…Stupid half-breed…" Sesshoumaru growled.
"Not this time Kagura!" Kagome yelled as she sent her purity arrow towards the ever changing direction of the Wind Scar.
"Come back now Kagura…" Yume ordered.
"YOU!" Kagura complained. "You're giving orders now!"
"Uh!" Kagura choked; feeling Naraku's hold. "F-fine…" She muttered; taking to the skies on her large feather.
"Good work Kanna." Narkau replied; placing a hand on the child youkai's head.
"Now…it is time for Yume to take over."
"Yes…" The girl replied as she stepped away from her position and allowed the beautiful demon to continue her work.
As Yume took center stage her demonic aura began to rise off her body and surround her.
"What power…" Kagura muttered; amazed by the obnoxious demon's potential.
"Now Yume…take control of Rin…"
"Yes, my Lord…" She muttered in a God like voice as she put full force into her ability.
"What's…happening…?" Rin wondered; her body growing even weaker.
"Rin-chan…you are now mine to control." Yume smiled as she felt her curse working on the girl.
Sesshoumaru looked down for merely a second to see his pup and his retainer hiding behind him; afraid of the demonic beast in front of him and the others.
"Prepare to die…" Sesshoumaru muttered as he powered up his Demon Strike attack.
"Rin…"
"Wha?" Rin's eyes widen as she hears a strange voice in her head.
"Do something for me…"
"Doko desu ka!"
"Get the sacred jewel…"
"The…"
"Get it…"
"Jewel…?"
"The Shikon Jewel…that girl with the arrows…she has it…"
Rin's eyes soon lost their lively hood and became a shaded brown color; she was now under Yume's possession.
"What the?" Kagura asked; baffled as she saw Yume using such amazing power. "What is this Naraku?"
"See that Kagura? It seems as though this dark priestess of the Dream Realm does possess more power then you."
"…You…!" Kagura growled as she watched the dark priestess perform perfectly for Naraku.
"Do as I say…and you shall be granted a wish…" Yume continued; controlling Rin's mind.
"Sesshoumaru…sama…" She muttered weakly; gripping the cloth of his right sleeve as she felt her soul leaving her body.
"Rin, stay back…" Sesshoumaru ordered; gently shoving the girl away from him as he dashed into the enemy. "That scent…" A familiar scent burning his nose as he spoke to Rin.
"…Y-yes…"
The fierce rumbling from the fight below causes the sacred jewel in one of the trees to fall.
"The sacred jewel!" Sango replied as she noticed something shinning falling from out of the sky.
"WHAT!"
"I've got it!" Shippou yelled as he caught the glimmering jewel in his hand.
"Great work Shippou!" Kagome smiled as she watched her little fox friend emerge with the jewel.
"Ha!" The fox demon smiled as he handed over the sacred jewel to Kagome.
"Take it from her. The girl called Kagome…she is now in possession of the sacred jewel! Take it from her and bring it to me."
"Yes!" Kagome cheered as she watched her arrow cancel out Kagura's reflection attack and allow Inuyasha's Wind Scar to penetrate the serpent.
"Another one of Naraku's fowl beasts defeated. Sango replied as she jumped off of Kilala. Watching as the beast crumbled to bits.
"Just as I said he would…Inuyasha and the rest of his friends have defeated the beast…" Kagura muttered sarcastically.
"Keep watching Kagura…Yume WILL get the job done." Naraku persisted.
"Right…" Kagura muttered as she kept her eye on the beautiful priestess and the events being shown in Kanna's mirror.
"The sacred jewel!" Inuyasha replied excitedly as he saw the nearly form jewel in Kagome's hand.
"Shippou caught it as it fell out of the air."
"How can this be?" Sango asked.
"It was up in the tree originally…but with all the shaking going on down here I guess it caused the jewel to fall from wherever the demon girl had placed it." Shippou replied.
"Whatever…finders keepers!" Inuyasha replied excitedly. "Right Kagome?"
"Right!" Kagome smiled as she gripped the jewel in her hand and purified it.
"They have the jewel Naraku!"
"Of course they do…"
"And you're okay with this!"
"Just shut up and watch Kagura!" Yume growled; hitting her with her demonic aura.
"Damn you temptress!" Kagura growled as she sat up from the attack.
"I'm going to use Sesshoumaru's human to get the jewel back for us…along with the remaining shards Kagome has collected." Yume replied as she continued on with her spell.
"What will you do with Sesshoumaru's human child?"
"Hahaha…you'll see…" Yume snickered.
"Tell me!"
"Stay silent and watch Kagura…trust Yume…you will find out her intentions soon enough."
Kagura just frowned and stayed in her place; watching as the strange plan; formulated by this devious demon and her master work in action.
"Rin!" Jaken yelled as he searched for the little girl. "Don't worry master! I'll find her!"
Sesshoumaru ignored his sidekick and surveyed the area for Rin when he suddenly heard a scream.
"Ahhh…! What are you doing!" Cried Kagome as she felt small hands reaching out for the nearly formed Shikon jewel she held in her hand.
"Ehhh! Who was that?" Jaken wondered.
Sesshoumaru only looked in the area of the screaming to find Kagome struggling to hold onto the Shikon Jewel.
"There she is!" Jaken yelled as he scrambled over to Inuyasha and his friends.
"It's that girl. The one Sesshoumaru calls Rin!" Miroku replied as he noticed the familiar kimono and wild black hair.
"You keep away from her you brats!" Jaken yelled as he ran into Inuyasha's group.
"Jaken…" Sango muttered in disgust as she watched the little toad demon get involved.
"No surprise he's here…" Inuyasha muttered.
"Witness the power of the staff with two heads!" Jaken yelled as he pointed his two headed staff at the girls and surround them with a ring of fire.
"Kimi no baka!" Inuyasha yelled; swiping at Jaken with Tetsuaiga.
"Rin! Stop this nonsense! Release whatever it is you are trying to take from Inuyasha's wretch and…"-"What did you call Kagome?" Inuyasha growled; surrounding Jaken with Miroku and Shippou.
"Uhhh….p-please…I-I was just…s-saying…t-that…" Jaken stuttered; afraid of the three overpowering opponents.
As Jaken tried to capture Rin all he felt was Miroku lifting him up by his collar with his priest staff.
"Let me go! Let me go! Insolent Monk!" Jaken protested.
"Get the jewel…take it from the priestess that carries the bow and arrows…" Yume insisted.
"Please Rin?"
"Do it now!"
"Please stop!" Kagome begged as she struggled to hold on to the sacred jewel. "Ow…" Kagome muttered; feeling something cut her hand as she struggled to hold on to the nearly formed jewel.
Rin without conscious kept struggling with Kagome to take the jewel out of her hands.
"Rin…" Sesshoumaru muttered as he sensed something peculiar of his pup.
"Iie, Rin! Kudasai?" Kagome yelled as she struggled to keep the jewel out of the girl's hands.
"I'll take care of her…" Inuyasha growled as he pointed Tetsuaiga at Rin's back.
"NO! Inuyasha! She's just a little girl! She's not evil!" Sango begged as she got in front of Inuyasha's sword.
"She's with Sesshoumaru! In my book she's evil!" Inuyasha yelled as he gripped his sword tightly and ran for her.
"INUYASHA!" Kagome screamed.
"I'm coming Kagome!" Inuyasha roared; his Tetsuiga, high above his head.
"OUSWARI!"
As Inuyasha's face slammed into the ground Sesshoumaru used his sword to extinguish the flames.
"Sesshoumaru!" Sango and Miroku replied in unison; getting into defensive positions.
"Get out of my way or else…" He threatened; pointing Tokijin in they're faces.
"We won't let you harm Kagome…" Mirkou replied; using his staff to block Sesshoumaru's path.
"I have no business with your priestess."
"What…?" Miroku muttered; baffled by Sesshoumaru's response.
"Get out of my way or suffer the consequences." He warned as he lightly pushed through them to get to the two humans.
"He doesn't want the sacred jewel?" Sango wondered.
Sesshoumaru just ignored them and walked towards Kagome and Rin.
"Sesshoumaru…" Kagome gasped as she saw the tall and unrelenting demon heading straight for her.
"You touch her and I'll…!" Inuyasha growled as he leapt into the air with his Tetsuaiga high above his head ready to strike his brother.
"No don't!" Kagome managed to say as she struggled with Rin.
Sesshoumaru saw him coming and shoved him back with his demon powers; launching him into the ground.
"Please…!" Kagome begged; watching as Inuyasha was separated from them while she struggled to hold on to the nearly formed Shikon Jewel.
"Do it! Take it from her! NOW!" Yume ordered.
"She's so strong…she must be possessed…" Kagome thought as she continued to hold on to the Sacred jewel.
"Rin…" Sesshoumaru muttered in his usual voice.
Kagome's eyes widened as she came face to face with Inuyasha's older brother.
"Rin…" Sesshoumaru replied; placing his hand in Rin's free hand. "Enough now…" He commanded softly. "Leave Kagome to the Shikon Jewel…"
"What is this…?" Yume wondered.
"Your curse isn't working…" Naraku replied.
"My spell has been broken again…" Yume answered in an agitated tone of voice.
"What did you do wrong now?" Kagura questioned harshly.
"Come now Rin…stop this foolishness…" Sesshoumaru muttered in a neutral tone.
"The Sacred Jewel belongs to Kagome…" Sesshoumaru muttered. "Stop this so we can go home."
"I…I can't believe what I am hearing…!" Myoga replied in shock.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Inuyasha asked; annoyed by Myoga's late appearance. "Late as usual."
"He...he's not after the jewel!" Sango asked in shock.
"Of course he's not…" Kagome muttered in slight amazement; feeling Rin's grip on the jewel loosen.
"I see now…" Miroku muttered; smiling softly as he watched Kagome set Rin down on the ground in front of Sesshoumaru.
"See what?" Shippou questioned as he watched Kagome tend to Rin.
"Sesshoumaru cares for Rin…as if she were his daughter." Miroku answered.
