Chapter Six: Naraku Reborn
"Naraku!" Kai hissed. She had never met the evil demon but she has grown to hate him from the stories she heard from the crib. The sole reason of the suffering of everyone she loved was stared at her in a body that barely resembled the man whose life she had saved earlier. Her knuckles turned white are began to shake with rage. "What the hell do you want!" She demanded her voice ringing with wraith that couldn't be matched by anything on the face of the Earth.
Naraku started laughing. "Dear Kai." She flinched. "You are so much like your pathetic half-breed father." Kai's glare sent chills down Naraku's spine, but he managed to supress it. "But can you fight like him? Or do you stand by like your weak mortal mother?"
Kai brought up her Akahoshii and charged at Naraku with a precisely aimed swipe. Naraku coolly jumped out of the way. Kai's blade was inches from his face. After she swung Kohaku threw a large rock at Naraku and faultered at the surprise attack. Spotting her chance Kai lunged again. Naraku brought up his sword blocking her, but not before she sliced off a section of his black snakelike bangs. Naraku said. "This is our fight. No interference!" Suddenly a red barrier appeared between Kai, and Naraku, and Kohaku and Shippo. Kai cursed as her friends were slamming against the barrier only to be repelled.
"Damn you, Naraku!"
Miroku was chopping wood for the fire and his right hand began to throb suddenly. Surprised he dropped the logs and grabbed his palm and his eyes widened in horror. "Oh, no!" His heart dropped through the ground as a hole began to swirl in the center of his hand where his wind tunnel was until fourteen years ago. Sango heard the commotion and went to see what was wrong. Looking at Miroku's face and then at his hand her heart stopped.
"Miroku!" She cried out. The air was being sucked in but not at a fast enough rate. The hole wasn't completely restored it is orignal size. "Oh god!" She cried out. If they didn't do something quick...Sango feared the worst.
"Sango," Miroku said his voice straining. "Get the prayer beads from Kaede!" Without a second of heistantation Sango bolted into the village the wind at her heels. Leaving Miroku to deal with the wind tunnel. He began to feel the familiar and hated presence of Naraku's evil demonic aura. Somehow he surived and he was here! Miroku suddenly realized that if the wind tunnel was returned to him, what about his children. He went numb as he thought of all his children's lives would have a cursed timer before they too were sucked in. He couldn't bear it. "DAMN YOU!"
Sango arrived at Kaede's hut in a hurry. The old woman was startled by the veteran demonslayer looking so desparate. "Kaede, I need Miroku's prayer beads!" In any other circumstances the old priestess would have questioned her, but Miroku was in grave danger. The woman handed it to Sango and she tore out of the hut to find Miroku before something happened to him...
Sayuri and her siblings grew restless as they overheard their mother near despair. Sayuri ran to find Uncle Inuyasha. "Uncle Inu! Uncle Inu!" She cried, her shrill voice grinding in the half-demon's sensative hearing.
"What the hell?" he demanded.
"Something's wrong! Mommy was shouting at Kaede about Daddy's prayer beads and she thinks he is gonna die!"
Inuyasha blinked as his mind began to process what he was told. A foul stench filled the air. In an instant he realized it as the horrid scent of Naraku! There was no mistake, he was near. He didn't bother to rationalize this information behind he ran back to find Kagome. Sayuri watched him leave to left herself to find her parents.
Inuyasha didn't have far to go before he caught up with his wife. She had sensed something was wrong and had her bow and a quiver of arrows slung across under her shoulder. "Inuyasha!" She cried out.
"Kagome, " He said. He stopped in front of her. "I smell Naraku!" Kagome's head spun for a second. How? Her thoughts were interrupted by Inuyasha's swearing.
"What is it?" she asked impatiently.
"Kai's in danger!"
"Dear Kai you are quite the fighter, "Naraku said. Kai growled at him. "Save me the flattery, bastard." She snapped. Naraku grinned coldly.
"I am going to enjoy killing you," he said. "But first I must test your strength..." He readied his sword and attacked Kai's left side. Not anticapting a harsh blow Kai slide-stepped but ended up being knocked backwards by the force of Naraku's attack. She felt backwards on to the ground knocking the wind not of her lungs. She couldn't hear her friends cheer her on. Occasionally the barrier would sizzle as objects were being thrown at it, but other than that nothing had any effect.
Naraku rushed to take advantage of his fallen prey. Kai saw him advancing did a backwards somersault until she was on her knees and she brought her sword up to deflect Naraku's next attack. The blow fell in the center of blade, right where her head would have been. Her arms were forced back a little but she stayed defiant against his pressuring. They were stuck in a lock and Naraku was placing his weight into his sword, exploting the uncofortable postion Kai had fallen into. Unable to bare this, Kai swung her right leg out and kicked Naraku's knee cap. He discontinued his attack and recoiled in pain. Kai shifted her weight so it was supported by her hands. She pushed off the ground and embedded her left foot under his chin. He gasped for air as Kai got to her feet.
The muscles in her arms screamed in pain from the strain of blocking Naraku. She gritted her teeth and trying to ignore her pain. Naraku had his left hand on his throat and his right hand tighened on the hilt of his sword. "Bitch!"
Kai rolled her eyes, "How orignal," she muttered. (This is for you, Shanon, I did use your joke. It has to do with the fact she is a dog demon...of course you probably got that but just in case...ok ill shut up now)
Naraku lunged at Kai and she backed away. He attacked again and again. Suddenly Kai found herself backed against the red barrier. She cursed herself as Naraku closed in trapping her. Kai swang Akahoshii at him and he batted it away. A moment of fear flooded Kai's system as she was left weaponless.
The demon was less than five feet away and Kai slashed him acrossed his face with her claws. Naraku paused and brought a hand to his cheek that now had three long gashes that was bleeding heavily. "You will pay for that bitch." He brought his sword down on her retreating form...
Inuyasha and Kagome reached the God Tree and saw a red bubble and Kohaku and Shippo screaming at it. "What the hell?" Inuyasha shouted heralding his arrival.
Kohaku and Shippo whipped around to see the parents of the girl behind the barrier get closer.
"Inuyasha, " Shippo cried. "Kai is battling Naraku!" Kagome emitted a noise that was a cross between a gasp and a squeak. Inuyasha's face paled. His daughter was get in Naraku's trap!
"You bastard, Naraku!" Inuyasha roared. It carried through the barrier and Naraku looked up at the enraged half-demon and grinned like Christmas had come early for him. In his right hand he held a dark figure. Suddenly they realized it was the unconscience body of Kai. "No!" He gasped. Naraku's grin grew bigger as he dangled her limp form in front of him. Inuyasha drew his Tetusaiga and slammed it on the barrier. For a split-second nothing happened, then a small eruptation forced Inuyasha backwards. Kagome drew her bow and burried an arrow in the cursed wall. Instead of repelling the arrow it absorded it and began to crumble.
Naraku cursed and jumped in to the air. Kai was still in his right arm. He threw the sword he was carried down at Kagome. She wasn't quick enough to dodge it but Inuyasha jumped forward and hit it away with the Tetusaiga. Both watched as Kai and Naraku disappeared into the night sky. The nearly full moon had an eerie glow.
"Damn it," Inuyasha exclaimed as he shoved his sword in to the ground. "That bastard has Kai!" Kagome began to cry. Inuyasha smelt her tears but didn't look up. He felt like crying too. He couldn't protect her...
"Oh shit," Kagome said as she remembered something. "It's almost a full moon!" Kohaku, Shippo, and Inuyasha looked at her and paled. This made matters so much worse...
