TO OUTDO TIME, CHAPTER 3:
Inuyasha and the gang stood dumbfounded to the whole proceedings as realisation began to settle in that another of their allies had died, leaving behind a devastated, regretful wolf.
"No..no..NOO!" Kouga screamed disbelieving, "You can't die! You're too good to die! Wake up!" Kouga tried to shake her a little, however, being careful to not hurt her. She gave no response. Kagome tried to step up a little, but Kouga scared her back.
"Stay back!"
His response made Kagome jump slightly back into Inuyasha, who stabled her. After some time, Kouga's sobs began to soften to a mere sniffle. He leaned his forehead on Ayame's lifeless body, for one more minute, whispering a simple statement only the youkai-blooded could pick up.
"I promise...you will be avenged."
After seemingly much more settled, Kouga stood up tall and silently. He turned.
"NARAKU!"
His bellow echoed throughout the surrounding forests, much like a booming bass where popular rock music would keep being belted out through. Birds and small youkai alike scattered in all directions as their nearby habitats were pelted with a single loud yell, almost causing earthquakes to occur. 'I bet even I could've heard that in my own era,' Kagome thought to herself.
"Kukuku. I know I'm popular and all, but please..must you continuously scream out my name? I mean.." Naraku never finished as Kouga suddenly charged at him, swinging kicks and punches all over. Left. Right. Up. Down. In. Out. Naraku soon picked up the pace as he began to defend himself. Not accustomed to doing so, Naraku was overwhelmed with an abrupt vigour, he too started on the offensive, only to be matched in speed by Kouga. Out of the blue, Naraku beckoned quickly with one finger for Kohaku to step forward. He obliged easily, and swung his scythe swiftly forward, chain rattlings, attracting the attention of Kouga. Just barely able to evade the incoming weapon, Kouga jumped up and away, letting out a warning growl, which were drowned out.
"KOHAKU!"
All heads swivelled to the voice, missing the small stumble Kouga made as he made a sudden landing, surprised by the force of the words. It was Sango. Distraught and angered by the family ties which held the two – Sango and Kohaku – together. Her emotion became tremendous as she looked upon the now, zombie-like brother she used to love and care for.
"What happened to you?" Sango continued, tears threatening to fall.
"Do I know you,lady?" Kohaku inquired back. Salt-watered tears let loose as Sango burst into tears washing all over her face to drip from her chin. Quietening down a little, she took a deep breath and resumed.
"What has that monster done to you?"
Amused once again by the situation at hand, Naraku frowned at being called a monster. He shrugged slightly and returned once more to the smiling devil he was.
"You always had a pure, beautiful, strong soul," Sango's words barely audible. Taken back by the genuine care in her voice, Kohaku faintly realised a familiarity about the woman. Flashbacks raced through his mind, as he tried to capture at least one image and comprehend his thoughts. Something intercepted this however, only allowing pain to erupt in his mind, forcing him to let go of any thoughts that may have evaded a memory block.
"AARGH!"
Flinching a little at the agony her younger brother was going through, Sango continued seemingly unaffected by the pain she knew she had half-caused. After all, Naraku was the bringer of hurt and inflictions.
"You were always a good boy…"
More flashes. More pain.
"A kind kid…"
Splitting pain coursed throughout his entire skull.
"A cool squirt..and.."
A fire built within his brain, feeling it spread within.
"Don't listen to her!" Naraku exclaimed.
Knowing the pain would not subside if he didn't do anything, Kohaku made a quick decision. Attack and make her shut up, or keep the pain coming in order to remember details from his past life, possibly never to receive it or even die trying. He attacked. Reflexes kicking in, Miroku jumped in front of Sango as chains rushed at her desperately trying to stop her mouth. Miroku blocked with his staff, only for it to be knocked out of his hands, sending him flying in the dirt.
"Miroku!" Sango exclaimed as she rushed to his side. Kohaku's brain began to slow and cool down.
"Are you alright?"
"Ow. Yeah. I'm fine. Just a hard landing," he replied, rubbing his backside.
"Good," Sango whispered, giving the monk a slight smile, making him paralyse for a quick second by the genuine concern and truth within a simply word. Getting back up, Sango picked up her boomerang, Haraikotsu, and strode forward a few steps. 'What's happened to him?' Sango thought staring at her supposed-to-be dead brother.
"Kill her!" Naraku commanded. Sango got into a fighting stance, prepared for any blow that came her way. What she wasn't expecting was an attack to her rear.
Inuyasha could only watch in shock as Kikyo lifted her bow and arrow, releasing the strings at Sango. Kikyo had been quiet throughout all the processions, but Inuyasha's eyes could only wonder in amazement as her stared at her dirt-clad and made form, danger momentarily forgotten as he looked on in deep thought.
"Sango! Watch out!"
At the sound of Kagome's voice, Inuyasha turned his head to the threat at hand. He had been in such deep thought, his eyes had watched the whole thing, but had not processed a single detail to his brain. Sango turned around just in time as an eruption of a bright, pink light blinded her.
