Angel of the Night- I did that for a reason, I am surprised that no-one else called me on it.
Kitty-demon92-Yep, Kouga's like that. Yes, Usagi does, but they are just little jobs at the moment not really anything difficult. Hmm, Sesshomaru is going to be a little more than angry. Not only did they capture Rin who he cares for, even if he'd never admit, but they also subterfuge his superiority.
Clueless 97- I don't consider it a lack of knowledge, just more like a frontier you haven't explored yet. Usagi despises what he is making her do, but it would be no fun if she liked it.
I didn't realized there were so many Naraku fans, I wonder what he would think of that. Probably try to brainwash your loyalty for a more effective use. No offense I think it is kind of neat. Shiori and Rin's purposes will be revealed as time moves on although EvilMoonGoddess you were pretty close. As for the mama thing, Naraku when he made them lose their memories he had to keep a close tie on them so Usagi became Usa-mama, he reconstructed their memories like he did to Kohaku.
Thank you to everyone who reviewed.
I do not own these shows.
Naraku glared at the image of the battle, a figure quickly approaching, he wanted to burn the oncoming threat. He muttered out a few curses as he tried to figure out what he could do, none of his minions could take on that figure. He wanted to save Usagi for a different mission, and Kikyo was going to be used for a different reason. Naraku slammed a fist down on the wooden floor, and just when things were going his way. He sent some poisonous insects and one of his wooden puppets to detain the approaching, hopefully long enough for Kagura and the demon to eradicate the Inu-tachi. Angered he called one of his minions.
A boy about the age of twelve appeared, his raven-haired locked in a ponytail hiding his face. "Master Naraku." He said lifting his head to reveal blue eyes of dull remembrance. The boy was clothed in a demon-slayers uniform, black except the more padded places a light brown. His Konai whip chain hanging from his sash. Naraku smirked at him, while he thought of his plan.
"Kohaku, I want you to train Usagi, since Kagura is detained at the moment." Naraku ordered Sango's brother.
"Yes, Naraku." Kohaku said and stood up leaving the presence of his master. Naraku also stood when Kohaku left and vanished down to his dungeons. Walking toward the one he saw with the barrier. Naraku studied the pale miko, she was sickly from not having souls delivered by the skimmers.
"Kikyo." Naraku demanded her attention. Though weak, she stood and glared. Naraku said nothing, but merely let the soul skimmer's pass his barrier. 'Soon, very soon, all my waiting shall pay off.' Naraku thought as he saw Kikyo regain some life. He left leaving Kikyo with no clue with what he wanted from her.
Kohaku traveled the pathway of the castle, stopping before Usagi's door. Usagi's bamboo screen opened to reveal her standing there. She studied Kohaku, another child, she thought. Kohaku also studied Usagi, catching her long hair with pure gold mixed with molten silver and obsidian black. Her sapphire orbs with silver now flecked also with chips of red and gold. She appeared human enough till he saw movement from beneath the obi. Usagi hot from the added clothing slipped it off and laid it on the two resting children.
Now Kohaku could observe her demon features as well. Usagi tail was of a tiger's white with black and silver stripes. Two markings of red sitting on each of her calves. Her nails were pointed and sharp, and two bands of white fur were wrapped around her wrists. Kohaku narrowed his eyes, something was not right with the new puppet she didn't radiate Naraku's evil or the feel of a demon. She felt almost pure, more angel-like then demon. "Up, we train." Kohaku said and watched as Usagi nodded. He led her away into the back courtyard of the castle.
Without signaling an attack or waiting to see if she was ready he snapped his weapon at her. Usagi heard the sound of the weapon on the wind and crouched watching the sickle chain fly by her head. Well, then, she flipped from her crouched position to behind Kohaku. "How about a warning next time." Usagi simpered at him. Kohaku disregarded her statement and flicked his wrist bringing his chain toward her behind him. Usagi feinted left and grabbed his wrist that held the weapon. Trapped, because Usagi was behind him, he flipped up and over her head. Twisting with the movement Usagi disarmed Kohaku, and the boy landed behind her weaponless. Usagi tossed the weapon far from the battling pair, Kohaku's eyes followed the movement. Usagi dashed toward him, holding an open palm toward his face, Kohaku blocked, and Usagi's unforseen knee caught him the gut. Kohaku bowed out of the attack, winded and sent one arm to Usagi's leg. He pulled her down, and flipped toward his fallen weapon. Grabbing his kunai, he flung it at the down Usagi, she assembled her halberd and caught the weapon inches from her nose. Disturbed, she leapt up, moving her body so she twisted the kunai around the halberd's handle.
Minutes were spent in a tug of war, before Usagi freed one hand from her handle, and placed it one her head. A tiara showed up and she sliced the weapon's chain apart, making Kohaku loose his balance and the sharp end of his weapon. Usagi swirled the halberd as she ran making the butt end of the weapon make contact with Kohaku's stomach. Then she swung the halberd under Kohaku's legs bringing him down. Flipping the halberd around so the sharp part face Kohaku she leaned it slightly against his neck. "I don't understand why Naraku wants you trained, you seem very strong." Kohaku pointed out, amazed of the skill. Usagi bit her lip and thought it over.
"I wield weapons well, but my hand to hand needs a lot of work." Usagi explained. Kohaku nodded and they spent the next few hours learning basic moves. Usagi wasn't kidding when she said her hand to hand combat needed work.
Naraku watched all this through Kanna's mirror pleased at the results before switching back to the tall figure approaching the Inu-tachi and his minions. "Taiyoukai of the West." Naraku said as he cursed the tall figure. Peering closely he observed the long silver hair, the jagged markings of dark pink on the demon's cheeks and wrists, and the left crescent purple moon upon his brow. The long white boa, with the white kimono strapped with heavy plated armor of black and two very furious golden eyes.
This Taiyoukai was angry to say none the less, and he almost ran his sword through his devoted toad demon servant when he called out to him. "Lord Sesshomaru, the girl is gone." the green toad demon cried out. Sesshomaru knew this, her scent was faint from the area he had left her, under the care of Aun. He had just return with having a delightful 'chat' with the sword smith of the Tetsusaiga and the Tenseiga. Toto-sai had been reluctant to share any wisdom about the twin fangs, but a few well place glares, and his one hand cupped on tokijin was convincing enough. Returning with more information on the two swords, he was hit with the fading scent of the young human girl.
Sessho-maru walked up to Aun, seeing what kind of damage could of been done. Seeing not a single mark upon the dragon demon's body except for his close eyes from sleep. He drew tokijin and prodded Aun with the handle willing to give the demon a chance to explain where the child was. Aun woke up to the cold gaze of its master, and realized what exactly the Taiyoukai was looking for. He explain he had seen nothing, when he felt strangely pulled to the realm of dreams. Sessho-maru nodded at the information and place tokijin back in its sheath. He tilted his nose to receive scents better, several assaulted him, one the baboon pelted one, and clay and dirt, the last was unknown to him hidden beneath the other two. Sesshomaru walked off, his toad servant and the dragon following him, he followed the river bed to another scent, one that smelled strongly of the wind demoness that had asked his help.
The Taiyoukai was angry, because he knew not where Naraku resided, if he wanted information he was going to have to talk to his mixed half brother. Sesshomaru stared straight ahead as he felt his two traveling demons come up behind him. "Jaken, where is that half-breed?" He inquired to the toad demon. Jaken halted his steps and brought the staff of heads in front of him. The old man head's moved and pointed in a west-ward direction. Following the staff of heads they came across a field which smelled strongly of blood. Before they could investigate further, Naraku's wasps, along with his fake puppet appeared in their path. Sesshomaru drew tokijin and sliced it upward, without watching continuing pass the weak blockade.
His nose alerted him to the spilt blood of his half brother, the wolf youkai that always trailed the group, and others. Sesshomaru studied the battle he came upon, and sneered at the weak creature. If not for the fact they might have information of Naraku he would of continued on. Using his whip of light he struck Big Ugly's legs. This caused Big Ugly to topple mid-run and crash to the ground, his serpentine headed tail attempting to sever the whip with its venomous fangs. Moving quickly he used tokijin to slice the demon in half right in the middle of the large shell. Still, with three shards in its possession, it did not die. Sesshomaru, cared not and with a few well placed strikes, had Big Ugly laying in a pile of demon flesh. Sesshomaru watched distantly as InuYasha's wench came forward and grabbed the shards from the fallen demon. She quickly scuttled away from the Taiyoukai lord. His nose caught on Kagura's scent and he whirled on the battle between the demon slayer, the monk, and the demoness. His sneer grew, as he saw the weak mortals battle the equally tasteless demoness.
Rushing toward the battle, hearing the wench's cries for her friends, he appeared behind Kagura. Tokijin, had been placed back in its sheath, so he curled his one claw around her neck. Kagura, waved her fan nervously as she knew the aura of the one behind her. Miroku and Sango inching away from the two demons toward their fallen and hidden comrades. Sesshomaru tightened his gripped around Kagura's neck, watching as his poison spread to the tips of fingers. "Where is Naraku?" Sesshomaru ordered from the demoness. Kagura was in trouble if she showed the Taiyoukai where Naraku was, he would crushed her physical heart. If she didn't the Taiyoukai would have no qualms ending her life.
Naraku watched this little exchange in Kanna's mirror, he summoned Kohaku again. Sending Kohaku with his normally large army of demons to distract the Taiyoukai and let Kagura return here. Kohaku nodded for his orders and flew upon a worm like demon to obstruct the Taiyoukai. Kagura was close to cracking and showing Sesshomaru where her master resides when Kohaku showed up with his horde of demons. Kohaku order the demons to attack except for the one he road. Sesshomaru growled, but let the wind demoness go so he could destroy the attacking demons. Kagura quickly pulled a feather from her hair and leapt upon it rushing to Naraku's castle. Kohaku left as well, and by the time all the demons were cleared Sesshomaru had lost scent of the two.
Sessho-maru wheeled on his heel and stalked toward the damage party of InuYasha's. He watched as InuYasha's wench Kagome place the Tetsusaiga against the side of the unconscious demon. The group fearfully observed him as he stood a few feet away. Kouga attempted to stand to protect Kagome from the cold Taiyoukai, feebly he collapsed from the strain. Stirring from InuYasha's prone body drew everyone's attention, wounded mortally, but still stubborn he used the Tetsusaiga to stand. His golden orbs fell on his older half-brother, and he fell into a aggressive stance. Leaning heavily on Tetsusaiga, he glared at Sesshomaru. "What do you want?" InuYasha questioned his brother. Kagome shook her head and slapped the back of InuYasha's. InuYasha growled in pain and anger at the strike, but looked at her.
"Stop, he saved us." Kagome explained. InuYasha peered at his older half brother who had walked closer now that he had seen InuYasha conscious. InuYasha stood protectively beside Kagome, his one arm hanging uselessly and his stomach wound bleeding heavily. "InuYasha, you're in no condition to fight." Kagome said worried. InuYasha just feh'd at her concern, Sessho-maru was getting tired of this time wasting and spoke up.
"Naraku's castle." Sesshomaru declared. His whole stance suggesting someone answer or there would be more wounded. Kagome shook her head at the tall Taiyoukai, showing they knew not where the evil demon's castle resided. Sessho-maru apathetic expression did not change as he walked off. He mentally resided to the fact that he would have to shadow the Inu-tachi and wait for another opportunity to strike at one of Naraku's puppets. They should come frequently now that the Inu-tachi was severely hurt, Naraku would jump at the chance to eradicate his constant thorn in his side.
Kagome ordered Kirara to tracked down Hachiemon, the raccoon, shape shifting demon friend of Miroku's. Hachiemon, returned with Kirara and he morphed into his flying form to carry the tired and wounded back to Kaede's village in Musashi's Domain. Arriving at the village, Kaede came out and help the wounded into her hut to be tended to. Kouga and InuYasha resisting all help, until Kagome threatened InuYasha with 'the word,' and gave Kouga one of her more evil glares. Sesshomaru followed swiftly and observed the Inu-tachi from a far awaiting one of Naraku's pawns, they would not escape him next time.
Naraku watched as the group was tended back at the priestess village. Mentally, he formed a plan for Kohaku, and Usagi as Kikyo to strike against Musashi's Domain, either capturing or killing the priestess Kaede. Naraku smirked evilly, he really hoped she would be slain as the Inu-tachi watched on, maybe losing a few of its members too. First, though he needed a new detachment to send along with Kohaku and Usagi, after all it would not bode well to lose two of his more useful pawns. Naraku would of sent Kagura with them, but that Taiyoukai would know her scent. Perhaps, he needed to lure him away with one of his new acquisitions. However, he would have to send one of his trusted pawns with the young human child,because the Taiyoukai would not be in a good mood. Naraku pondered over his problems, he realized he needed a distraction. Smirking in satisfaction he called for Usagi to come to his chambers.
Kagura heard the summons for the blonde girl, and she eyed her with some concern as they passed each other. Kagura placed a restraining hand on Usagi's shoulders shaking her head. "Do not go." Kagura whispered to Usagi. Usagi offered her a small smile, but shook her head.
"I do not have a choice." Usagi explained.
"I will go and lie to him, saying the children are awake and need your assistance." Kagura said. Usagi placed a comforting hand on the taller demoness shoulder.
"I cannot have you do that, he could easily check your story and have you destroyed." Usagi told Kagura . Then she whirled on her heel and walked on. Kohaku appearing beside Kagura along with Kanna.
"She doesn't belong here." Kagura whispered to the two. The others nodded, but what could they do? Naraku controlled all of them one way or another. Kanna placed her void eyes on Kohaku and Kagura, before summoning her mirror. They all watched the blonde girl's next moments.
Usagi appeared before the bamboo screen, kneeling on the other side. "Bioijin-ko, come in." Naraku's voice ordered through the thin door. Usagi walked through and again kneeled before her dark master. "Come closer Bioijin-ko." He said. Usagi didn't want to, but had no choice in the matter. She felt Naraku's hands slide up her arms and tilt her head upwards. Naraku knew there would be no interruptions, so he let his hands slide to Usagi shoulders. Feeling her muscles through the thin cloth of her school uniform. He would enjoy this claim and ever so slowly he lowered his head to hers. Watching as Usagi try to pull her consciousness elsewhere, if only her hands could reach the ginzuishou. Naraku went slower enjoying the torment he felt from the blonde beneath his hands. His lips inches from contacting hers.
I hope you enjoy the next installment. Thank you for all your kind Happy Thanksgiving wishes, I hope the same to you and through out the holiday season.
