Suuki-Aldrea-Hey, good to hear from you again. Last time I heard, you were sick. Hope it wasn't anything to serious. Yep, Usagi will use her sailor moon powers.
Rena Moon- Of course, trouble, when is the Inu world ever quiet? Ne, it is all most time to free Kagura, I promise. No problem about the reviews, I like your stories.
Clueless 97- (laughs.) Ne, sorry about that, but come on, Sesshomaru is an ice personality. He will thaw in time. InuYasha will, pretty sure Kagome and Usagi will see to it. It is almost time to free Kagura just hang on a little longer.
Liza- Keeping me on my toes huh? Hmm, I wonder.
Queen Diamond-Thanks, I really liked that scene too.
Thanks to everyone who reviewed, no ownership.
The awaiting group tenses, as something slitters from the trees. InuYasha nearly crows at the fact that detachment isn't even fully formed yet. Drawing his Tetsusaiga from it sheath's he smirks, and locates the wind scar. "This will be easy, Wind Scar!" He yells out and watches as the yellow energy tears across the land hitting the blacken glob. "Naraku's puppet's are getting weaker." InuYasha states, and slides back his sword.
"Look out!" Usagi cries out, seeing the attack had no affect. "Mercury Ice Storm Freeze!"She yells out, blocking the on coming attack to the distracted Inu-tachi. The smoke clears, and they can finally see the detachment again. This time, it is fully formed, as with any of Naraku's detachments, they hold some of his powers.
It has the figure of a male, medium long azure blue hair brushes his shoulders. Red eyes peered at them with power burning in them, his face is covered in green striped markings. Beneath his eye lids, are two jagged shaped black lines. He is clothed in an black kimono, with a deep purple sash. Lightly strapped over it is metal smithed armor over his chest, arms, shoulders, and legs. However, what is most noted is the spider marking pulsing on his forehead. "I am Tosoumaru, I have come for your jewel shards, and your lives." He stated, and raised his arm. They watched in awe as his limb shuddered and changed shape to a long whip. He flung it straight at the distracted Usagi, who was sensing for his weakness. The whip was locked with a lime green one that shot from the trees. Sesshomaru walked out from his position, his whip glowing from his hand.
Usagi blinked amazed at two whips locked in front of her face and she stepped back, bumping into the advancing taiyoukai. He sent a scathing gaze down at the demoness, a hidden flick of worry delving in his subconscious. "Tell me, where is Naraku?" Sesshomaru ordered from his position. Tosoumaru merely warped his limb again, changing it into a sword. "If you won't spare information, then you are useless." Sesshomaru grounded out, and charged at the smirking detachment. Usagi saw the demon's form shuffle, and become dough-like. 'Damn, he can absorb things like Naraku!' She thought anxiously, worrying about her savior.
"Akuryou Taisan!" Usagi called out, drawing out some slips of Martian priestess papers. She flung them at the doughy form of the demon, when Sesshomaru's strike made no purchase. It froze the demon for a moment, allowing the taiyoukai to flip back. Sesshomaru glanced back at Usagi with a nod, and turned back to the detachment. Drawing out a few more slips, she thanked the senshi who visited her dreams while she slept last night. "Akuryou Taisan!" She cried once more flinging the papers up, instead of at the demon. Placing her fingers in a mock gun position she aimed at the papers. "Mars Fire Ignite." She ordered and watched the flame make contact with the paper, holding up two fingers she concentrated heavily. "Mars Firebird Strike!" Usagi ordered and watched as the burning slips change form into the raging phoenix.
Seeing Tosoumaru readying to absorb her attack, she turned to the rest. "Everyone, strike him now, he will not be able to absorb everything." She informed them, observing quickly as InuYasha struck with his Tetsusaiga, Sesshomaru with Tokijin, Kouga with his strike of wind from his tornado, Miroku with his prayer slips, Sango with her boomerang, Kirara with a burst of flame, and Kagome with her purity arrow. "Moon Scepter Elimination!" Usagi added along with the Mars Phoenix. The absorb power of Tosoumaru could not hold up under the different onslaughts of attacks crumbled away.
However, he died laughing as his pieces twitched. Kagome cried out, mentioning the jewel shard, which resided in his pulsing head. Usagi sighed as everyone stinted at the yell, and she charged forward, picking out the pulsing spider mark. Extending her claws, she stabbed through his forehead, and locked her fingers around the jewel shard. With a disgusted push of breath, she tugged her bloodied claw out. Yet, it seemed, Tosoumaru was not through as his flesh pieces grabbed a hold of Usagi's body. 'Oh, no, is this thing trying to eat me!' She thought in worry. She struggled trying to free herself from the flesh, she was saved by the fall of two swords.
InuYasha pried off the flesh covering her left side, being careful not to nick Usagi or else the flesh would climb into the wound. On her right was the ice taiyoukai, his tokijin slicing off the putrid masses. With her hands free she nodded to them to step back. She brushed a hand across her locket summoning out the ginzuishou to eradicate the nuisance. All of them missed a small piece creeping away toward Naraku's castle, full of the many different energies that had attacked.
Naraku cackled evilly when the piece returned, using a tentacle to split the small mass into two. He absorbed one, and picked up the other one with a derange grin. Walking down into the dungeon, he shoved it upon Kikyo. "I do believe, you will be ready soon." He remarked, as the mass spread over Kikyo, slipping into her open mouth, and into her nostrils. Kikyo's earthen browns turned to darken orbs, as the evil infected her core. He laughed again as he brushed a hand over the villain Kikyo. "The fools." Naraku sneered out as he opened the cage door. "Follow me." He ordered to Kikyo, who followed mindlessly.
Arriving back into his room he noted Kagura standing there. Filling his new power coursing through his veins, he summoned Kagura's physical heart. It pulsed sickly, and he smirked in achievement. Without a word he tossed it to the glaring wind demoness, who caught it, and swallow it. "Good, I grew tired of your rebellion, attack the group on the mountain." Naraku ordered, seeing the same lifeless gaze in Kagura that now lynched Kikyo.
Usagi sighed in relief, nodding to the two inu brothers. She got a scoff from InuYasha, who gestured for the jewel shard. With a shrug of nonimpact she handed over the now purified jewel shard. Sesshomaru gazed at her evenly, revealing none of his thoughts, then turned away and walked off. InuYasha walked back over to his group and handed the jewel shard to Kagome, before turning back to Usagi. "Finish talking wrench." He ordered, and watched as Usagi raised an eyebrow.
"InuYasha?" Kagome called sweetly, observing as the hanyou turned in question. "Osuwari!" She yelled out, and everyone watched as the hanyou hit the ground hard.
Usagi blinked, walking back over to the shielded children. With a wave of her hand, brought down the two shields, the children ran toward her hugging her tightly. Usagi hugged back just as tight, and ushered them to walk with her toward the Inu-tachi. The children giggled at the sight of a grounded face InuYasha, who leapt up and growled at them. Rin, Shiori, and Kanna squeaked, ducking behind a frowning Usagi, while Kohaku jumped in front of the females, his chain scythe dangling threateningly. "Osuwari." Kagome called out from behind InuYasha, and once again the hanyou met ground.
"Stupid." Shippo muttered from his hiding place in Kagome's hair. InuYasha leapt from his spot reaching for the mouthy fox demon.
"Okay, why don't we make camp for now?" Usagi suggested and watched as the Inu-tachi other then Shippo, InuYasha, and Kouga nod. Kouga walked up to Kagome and caught her hands with his own.
"Kagome, fare well, I will bring you Naraku's head the next time we meet." He swore, with a nod to Usagi in respect, and a two finger salute to the rest, he took off. InuYasha stopped chasing Shippo to yell at the fading twister of Kouga's. The rest of the group just sighed, shrugged, and went to set up camp.
Unaware that the pieces wielded by evil were moving. Usagi glanced up at the still full moon with only a sliver missing, and noticed a ring around it. "That spells trouble." Usagi murmured, and raised an invisible barrier around the camp site. As the group settled down, they were shocked by a heavy cackling in the woods. Sitting up, they gazed around the campsite, as a shadow flew over them. Usagi seeing the shadow on the ground gazed up and gasped. "KAGURA!" She yelled out.
Well, what exactly will be the repercussions of the absorbed Tosoumaru. Oh, speaking of Tosoumaru, it means Strife. Maru-is normally added at the end of a male's name. Enjoy, and please review.
Best Wishes,
