Naraku: the ability to control time huh?
He says and then chuckles, glancing up as Kagura comes into the room.
Naraku: Follow Sesshoumaru. You will await my orders until then.. do not get caught.
Kagura nods and turns to leave.
Naraku: I will have the chaos nekura .. and it's keiei ..
He says to himself outloud
Naraku: And once I absorb them I will control chaos and time... Inuyasha and that .. priestess won't stand a chance.
He says speaking distastefully.. pausing half way through and then laughs to himself.
The scene changes to a few days later as Sesshoumaru walks silently along a narrow mountain's path, Sakura walking behind him with Rin close to her.. Jaken coming up behind.
Sakura: Sesshoumaru.
She says looking up as he doesn't respond she moves faster to come up right behind him as close as the narrow path allows.
Sakura: I feel like there is something following us... I've been feeling it for a while but whenever I look back I don't see anything...
Sesshoumaru: It is just the wind.
Sakura: The wind..?
She repeats in a curious tone and glances and looks back, frowning as she see's no one she turns and looks back to see Sesshoumaru had continued walking. .she jogs up slightly coming up beside him again.
Sakura: What do you mean.. the wind..?
She asks groaning as he doesn't respond.
Sakura: You know that no responding shit really gets annoying sometimes.
She says and growls annoyedly.
Sesshoumaru: It is Kagura.
Sakura: Kagura..? The women on the feather?
She asks curiously and pauses to think, ignoring him as he walks away..allowing Rin to catch up.
Rin: What did you and Lord Sesshoumaru discuss?
She asks curiously, Sakura looks back and shrugs.
Sakura: It was nothing.. no worries.
Rin: Ok ...
She says and then her eye's widen as she steps onto a loose part of the path and begins to slip, she begins to fall right off the mountain's path.. Sakura quickly turns and grabs her pulling her up the force of it knocking her back and right off the edge she reacehs out grabbing the ledge before she falls.
Rin: Sakura!
She yells frantically as Sakura dangles there holding the ledge of the pathway... Nekura who was sound asleep on Aaun opens her eye's and looks up just as Sakura's grip loosens on the ledge, the rocks crumbling as it forces her to release and she begins falling down towards the tree's beneath them. .. she screams as she drops down shutting her eye's tight in fear and then all of a sudden she opens them as she feel her body stop running into something she blinks in disbelief as she stares up at Sesshoumaru.. him floating there holding her silently he looks down at her with his silent ,emotionless gaze.
Sakura: I didn't need your help.
She says pushing him away.
Sesshoumaru: Fine.
He says and lets go of her, her eye's widen in disbelief as she begins to drop again screaming halfway down and then her eye's widen and energy swirls out and she stops hovering in mid air, she swirls up to him and kicks him in the leg.
Sakura: You're such a jerk sometimes!
She yells angrily and growls slightly.
Sesshoumaru: You're the one who didn't want my help.
He says and then turns and begins floating back up to the path.
Sakura: Stupid annoying dog.
She says and then gasps, her eye's widening in horror as he reaches out for her grabbing her by the throat he pushes her all the way to the ground pinning her into it as her body shatters it slightly.
Sesshoumaru: Stop saying that to me.
Sakura can only lay there staring up at him with wide eye's as he gazes so coldly into her eye's, she breaks the gaze and looks off to the side notiing her scythe laying there she reaches out and grabs it before he can react swipes up with it, her scythe cracking his armor as it slams against him... he jumps back and draws his sword.
Sesshoumaru: I WILL kill you.
Sakura: Yeah ?I'd like to see you try! STUPID DOG!
She says screaming at the end just to piss him off, her eye's widen as a stream of energy surges for her she jumps out of the way and appears beside him in mid air ready to strike, screaming as he turns and hits her hard knocking her back into the ground. She falls with a loud thud the dirt skidding up with her as she forms a short path.
Sakura: Dammit..
She mumbles as she sits up, gasping as she see's him coming for her at full speed she raises her scythe as he goes to strike.. her eye's widening in disbelief as the scythe shatters at the force of his sword. .. she jumps up letting go as the scythe drops to the ground in pieces, flipping back as he goes to attack again she reaches out in fear .. pausing as he freezes.
Sakura: OH!
She says and moves off to the side, looking back as time unfreezes and he loses his balance dropping down as he misses.. he turns throwing out his hand as his poison whip forms and flies towards her, Sakura's eye's begin to glow as it stops freezing completely.
Sakura: You won't kill me if I kill you first.
She says coldly as a dark red light begins to pulse and explode out around her.
Sakura: I'm done being nice to you.
She says, her voice much colder and dark .. the cheery tone gone completely as her eye's glow completely red.
Rin gasps looking over as an aura appears around Nekura and her body arches up, her eye's glowing red as well.
Rin: What is going on Jaken.. why have Sakura and Sesshoumaru-sama not returned?
she asks peering over the ledge.
Jaken: Lord Sesshoumaru is finally putting that dumb cat in her place.
He says and then his eye's widen as he all of a sudden he feels a pulse slam him right off the cliff. Rin gasps looking over to Nekura who turns looking towards her with her cold and evil aura.
Rin: Jaken-sama!
She calls out reaching out as Jaken disappears into the tree's as he slams against the ground. .. Rin looks over the side again screaming and leaping back as an explosion of light shakes the ground below.. the tree's disappearing completely from the energy as it reveals Sesshoumaru and Sakura slamming against the ground with a thud.
Rin: Oh no!
She says gasping as Nekura collapses.
Rin: Every one...
She says looking in disbelief and then looks over the cliff as she see's Sesshoumaru, Sakura and Jaken laying motionless on the ground she gasps as after a long moment Sesshoumaru slowly begins to sit up.
Rin: Lord Sesshoumaru is getting up.
She says to herself not noticing as Kagura floats nearby overhead leaning down to watch.
Sesshoumaru stands glancing over to Sakura who continues to lays motionless on the ground, her clothing ripped all around her as blood pours from her body slowly.
Sesshoumaru: Foolish girl
He says glaring in her direction and then glances to the side noticing Jaken. He stands there for a moment and then begins approaching him glancing down noticing he's dead. .. he slowly draws his tenseiga, unsheething it and raises it pausing as he see's the creatures of the underworld.. he slices his sword straight through them and returns it to its sheeth turning asJaken groans and sits up, his eye's widening as he notices Sesshoumaru.
Jaken: I had died for sure..
He says looking down at himself.
Jaken: Did you revive me yet again mylord?
He yells happily and leaps up tearing up with joy, watching as Sesshoumaru walks over and picks Sakura up slumping her over his shoulder as he pushes off the ground and to return to the mountain's path. Sakura groans slightlly opening her eye's barely but closing them after not even a moment.
Jaken: Wait for me my loooorrddddd!
He yells as he runs quickly reaching out and grabbing onto Sessohumaru hanging on for the ride. Kagura gasps floating out of the way, she hides behind the higher rocks as he lands on the ground and looks to Rin who stands there holding Nekura staring with wide eye's.
Rin: Is Sakura-sama alright, Sesshoumaru-sama?
She asks looking to her curiously.
Sesshoumaru: She is fine.
He says and then dumps Sakura over the saddle of Aaun and turns, beginning to once again lead the way.. pausing after a few moments he groans slightly as he drops a little losing his balance though Jaken and Rin don't notice his moment of weakness.
Jaken: Serve's her right.
He says glaring at Sakura who lays motionless dangling over Aaun.
Jaken: Disrespecting Lord Sesshoumaru constantly, that dumb cat has no respect. I am happy that Lord Sesshoumaru finally put her in her place. .. though he should of finished her off.
He says to himself outloud, pausing and letting out an "eep" as he notices Sesshoumaru pauses and glare back at him.
Kagura: I wonder if I should try to take them now. .they are both unconscious.
She thinks to herself as she floats above every one watching silently and then shakes her head.
Kagura: There is no way that Sesshoumaru will let me get any closer.
She says and turns swerving off away from them.
The scene changes to hours later as darkness begins to set, Inuyasha sits alone outside on the porch of a castle.. the others sitting inside. Kagome gets up slowly and opens the door peaking outside she comes up beside Inuyasha who glances up looking at her curiously.
Kagome: Are you feeling alright.. Inuyasha? You've been so quieot.
Inuyasha: Hm? Oh yeah.. I was just thinking about that girl..
Kagome: The one that is with sesshoumaru?
She asks curiously as he nods.
Inuyasha: If Naraku were to get that kind of power.. power over time.
Kagome sighs and nods sitting down beside him.
Kagome: Naraku controlling time.. that'd be just great.
She says and then glances up curiously as she notices demons floating overhead.
Kagome: Those are Naraku's demons.
She says gasping and leaping up.
Inuyasha: Let's go!
He yells urgently and grabs her pulling her onto his back and begins rushing after them, Sango and Miroku rush to the door hearing him call out and take off after him on Kirara, Shippou in Sango's hands as they fly off.
The scene changes to Rin as she sits silently beside Aaun a little from the edge of a small cliff against the trees, Sakura slumped down against him.. Rin looks down concernedly to Nekura in her arms. .. Sesshoumaru nowhere to be seen.
Rin: Jaken-sama.. do you think that they'll be alright.
Jaken: Lord Sesshoumaru would do well enough dumping all 3 of you.
Rin: But Lord Sesshoumaru would never do that. .. sooo..
She says and silences to stick out her tongue.
Jaken: Why you little ---
He says and stops his eye's widening as all of a sudden white slices of light slam down nearby him. He whails leaping back as Rin jumps up and screams.. Sakura groans opening her eye's slightly as she looks up to see Kagura land with the demons around her.
Kagura: Give me the girl and it's human form and I will spare your lives.
Rin: NO! You can't have them!
She yells holding onto Nekura tight.
Rin: Aaun, please help us get away!
She yells to Aaun who opens his eye's and stands, Sakura groans again looking up to Kagura faintly.
Sakura: Where's that dumb dog at?
She mumbles looking to Rin who's eye's widen.
Rin: Lord Sesshoumaru is away right now.. sometimes he wanders off and comes back eventually...
Sakura: Idiot.
She groans and slides onto her feet, staggering slightly.
Sakura: Rin-chan... go.. leave with Jaken.
Kagura: Leave the nekura.
Sakura: Don't listen to her, Rin-chan.. just go it's alright.
She says and then smiles evilly as she turns to Kagura. Rin pauses looking at her curiously noticing that Sakura's hair had grown slightly longer and she seemed a little taller.
Sakura: i TOLD YOU TO RUN!
She yells looking back and then glancing over as Kagura holds out her hands and the demons charge out for Sakura.
Sakura: Go. Rin.
She says and then her eye's glow red as a red barrier explodes out and the demons slam into it sizzling on impact, Kagura's eye's widen in disbelief.
Sakura: I've grown more powerful during my nap.. it was unwise of you to challenge me. Sorcerress of Wind.
She says in a cold and chilling tone as the barrier subsides and Rin and Jaken on Aaun make their getaway.
Sakura: I didn't appreciate your behavior the last time we met at all. I'll make you pay this time.
She says and then flickers, and disappears, she appears right beside Kagura and grabs her by her hair jerking her head down.
Kagura's eye's widen in horror as she feels pressure enter her mind she whimpers in pain and drops down to her knee's.
Sakura: I'm a cranky little kitty when people interrupt my nap.
She says tossing Kagura aside slamming her to the ground. Kagura lets out a grunt as she hits the ground.
Kagura: You little ! ---
She yells leaping up she goes to charge for Sakura, gasping in disbelief as red aura surrounds her and she slams to the ground again.
Sakura: I'm going to kill you right here and now.
She says in her dark tone as her energy rages out again, the rags of her robes swirling out in the energy.
Sakura: You should tell this "Naraku" to leave Nekura and I alone... then again. .you're about to die.. so I suppose you won't be able to tell him anything at all now will you.
She says smiling as she begins to pulse as the energy becomes stronger Kagura stands there staring in horror, petrified with fear at the amount of energy she senses.
The scene changes to nearby as Inuyasha and the other's all pause sensing the strong demonic energy as it's red light can be seen lighting above the tree's in the near distance.
Miroku: What an amazing demonic energy ...
Inuyasha: It's that girl
He says and begins rushing towards it, kagome looks at him curiously.
Kagome: Sakura-chan? the one that travels with Sesshoumaru?
Inuyasha: Yeah.
He says the scene changing as they arrive, Sakura turns looking towards them curiously.
Sango: Woah.
She says as she see's Kagura on her knee's infront of Sakura unable to move.
Sakura: Do not interfere or I will kill you next.
She says coldly and then turns to Kagura about to make the final blow.. her eye's widening she let's out a breathless gasp as her energy pulses out and disappears.
Sakura: Oh no ..
She says in a whisper, letting out a cry as Kagura leaps up and grabs her hitting her so hard that she flies back through the air... falling right off the cliff.
Sakura: Sesshou... ma..ru...
She says barely in a whisper as her eye's flutter shut and she drops through the sky... Kagura turns about to go after her, her eye's widening as all of a sudden a light slams into her .. she coughs gasping for air as a poisonous cloud surrounds her.
Kagura: Poison gas..?
She mumbles in disbelief, as the wind swirls out around her shielding her from it and she takes to the sky.. Inuyasha turns leaping off the cliff to go after Sakura, his eye's widening as energy comes out of nowhere slamming him against the wall of the cliff and then a light shoots down and surrounds Sakura, swirling up to the cliff as Sesshoumaru appears holding her.
Kagome: sesshoumaru !
She says in a gasp of disbelief as he stands there staring at them silently he turns looking up to Kagura who's feather was already swirling off in the distance.
Jaken: Lord Sesshoumaru! You've returned!
He calls out happily as he scurries over to Sesshoumaru, pausing to glare at Inuyasha and his friends. Aaun walks out slowly with Rin on it's back. .Nekura curled up in her arms.
Rin: The nekura has fallen ill again.. did something happen to Sakura-sama once again?
She asks hesitantly as she slides off and walks up to him, her eye's widening as she see's Sakura.
Rin: She protected us .. she should of still been resting.
She says her voice cracking as she tears up slightly.
Sesshoumaru: Silence. Rin.
He says and then turns and begins to walk away. Rin turns looking at him hesitantly and then nods.
Rin: Yes. .my lord.
She says and begins to slowly follow.. watching as Sesshoumaru returns Sakura to Aaun.. Jaken following alongside her.
Kagome: Her power was amazing...
Miroku: It is clear she exhausted herself, emmitting all of that demon power. Her body wasn't ready for it.
Kagome nods.
Kagome: I hope that she'll be alright. ...
She says watching as they walk off into the forest, the sky becoming fully dark around them.. the moon shining down brightly on them as they too turn and continue on.
