Chapter 54

Sango threw her Hiraikotsu once she managed to get to it, but it was no use. Damn. There are vines everywhere! Shida approached her. I can't look! Sango decided to run but she didn't see the vine that crept toward her. It snaked around her abdomen and around her arms. Shida got an orb ready. Mouko leaped in the way after he managed out of his rock-walled cage. Shida shot the orb toward the sky.

"Shida stop!" Mouko pleaded. He stepped toward her but he froze. I can't move…

"Of course you can't move…"

"Shida, snap out of it…"

"Master wants you. You should have never escaped."

"I will not go back!"

"You have no choice." She enchanted a few words. Mouko started to sway his head. "No… I will not… fall… asleep…" He shook his head and snapped out of the trance. He glared.

"Then…" She made a shield surround herself and Mouko. She picked up a scrape of wood and ignited it. She enchanted a few more words and tossed it in the air.

"Watch out!" Mouko cried but it was no use. Everyone was entwined in the snake like vines. Everyone embraced himself or herself for they knew it was for the worst. It exploded on contact. After all the rumble cleared, Mouko saw everyone unconscious except Sesshomaru who was barley hanging on.

"Stop Shida!" Shida directed her attention at Mouko while she readied an orb at Sesshomaru. A vine wrapped around Mouko. Shida looked up at the sky.

"Master beckons…"

"No! Shida!" She walked toward him and placed her hand on his chest. They teleported away. Everything disintegrated and everyone dropped to the ground.

Sesshomaru slowly got to his hands and knees and looked at where Sango laid. She took most of the impact. "Sango…" He coughed out. He rushed toward her and gathered her into his arms. She wasn't breathing. He checked for a pulse but there was none. He gently placed her on the ground and unsheathed the Tensaiga. He slashed the air above her, healing all her wounds and bringing her back.

"Sesshomaru?" She whispered as she slowly came back to the world. She got up and saw him approach Fubuki, Kirara and Jin. He also healed them and they too woke up. Sesshomaru sheathed his sword back and fell to his knees. Sango rushed to him.

"Curses… immobility… grass needles… bombs? What else can Shida do?"

"Shh… You need your rest. I'll get us out of here." Sango whispered in his ear. She directed her attention at Jin and beckoned him toward them. "We need you to teleport us to my friends."

Jin nodded as he transformed. Sango helped the wounded Sesshomaru on his back. Kirara jumped on Sango's shoulder and Fubuki managed to perch himself behind Sango. In one wink, they were gone.

InuYasha, Kagome, and Miroku set up camp for the night. They walked all day with very little rest. They sat by a fire. The sun was nearly down, leaving the sky tainted with orange. Miroku leaned gainst the tree as he stared at the fire in deep thought. His thoughts were broken when a giant neko appeared right in front of him. "Whao!" He bumped his head on the tree when he jumped in surprise.

"Sango you're back!" Kagome rushes to her. She gasped.

"What the fuck happened!" InuYasha approached them.

"I'll explain later. Can you please help me get him off?"

InuYasha grabbed his arm. "Can you be a little bit more careful!" Sesshomaru turned his head in his direction.

"You're awake."

"Of course… Anybody would wake up from your screaming."

"Why you… At least I'm not the one who got their ass kicked."

"You would be the same way half breed. As a matter of fact, in a worst condition then me…"

"Can you please stop?" Kagome gather her supplies out of her infamous bookbag. After everyone was settled once more, Sango explained to everyone what happened.

"So it was Shida after all…" Miroku leaned against his staff on his shoulder. "She's under Naraku's control and there's nothing we can do unless we get Mouko…"

"Keh. Watch me destroy me destroy that asshole…"

"I sincerely doubt that." Sesshomaru commented.

"What's up your ass! I didn't do nothing to you!"

Sesshomaru ignored him. He turned his head in the opposite direction and started to drift. Damn Naraku. He tried to take her away from me. He tried to use her against me…

Note: This is getting too cliché… What can I say?

I don't deserve your reviews right now because I haven't update in over 2 months…
