They were all blasted back from the energy. Inuyasha held Kagome down and Kagome could've screamed when the head of Death landed infront of her. Suddenly Death's body and head was flung into Adeth and melted into her body.
Kagome looked at her with a disgusted look on her face,"That is so disgusting!" Adeth laughed that shrilly laugh as the energy grew stronger.
"You may have destroyed two of the crystals, but I still have the other three!" Adeth screamed as the energy swirled around her.
Inuyasha covered Kagome with his haori for any falling debris, but there was only a lot of wind. Miroku held onto Sango and the others protected thier daughters. The laughing continued as the wind and energy died down and Adeth was floating above them all.
Her hair was white with black streaked bangs and she wore Death's armor, but didn't show that much skin and she had two thick wings, on the inside of them were silvery white, but the shape and back were those of bat wings. Her eyes were red and she had large fangs.
She smiled at them,"Now let's see you destroy the rest of my crystals!" She had a new screeching voice.
Adeth stuck her hand out towards the tablet and the ramaining crystals shot towards her and they sank deep into her skin. The wind crystal appeared at her left shoulder, the water crystal at her right, and the spiritual crystal in the middle of her chest,"The crystals and I are one!"
"Damn this ain't good,"muttered Inuyasha as Adeth continue to fly in midair and laugh.
Everyone got up, ready to fight the new demon. Sango readied her boomerang and Miroku had his hand in his robes ready to bring out his sutras. Kagome was very sore and had her arm around Inuyasha's shoulder's for support. Adeth sent balls of hail the size of basket balls at them and they all ran for cover. Sango blocked them with her boomerang and the Mirokus sliced them with thier staffs and the Inuyashas protected the Kagomes by slicing them in half with thier claws and sword.
"Try this on for size then!" Adeth fired a giant icicle at them and they all had to jump back to avoid it. Then they realized that they were trapped behind the ice, because it turned out to be a giant wall of ice. Inuyasha growled.
"She was only stalling to buy some time,"he took out Tetsaiga and charged at the wall,"But a stupid wall isn't going to stop us!" The blade collided with the ice with the sound of slicing metal on frozen ice. But instead of the ice being broken, the Tetsaiga was stuck inside the ice. Only the handle was sticking out and Inuyasha gripped it and pulled on it, but it did not budge."Well this sucks. I can't get it out."
The other Inuyasha took out his sword,"Let me try!" He was just about to attack when the older Inuyasha grabbed his shoulder.
"If I couldn't do it, with a better and more expierienced sword, then what makes you think you can?" Inuyasha let go of his shoulder and the other one sheathed his sword.
"Well, if we can't get through then how will we-"Kagome stopped from Adeth's shouts.
"How the hell-AAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Suddenly they could see blue light from the other side of the glass, like flames.
Then the flames began to melt the ice and a giant hole was melted from the ice. They all peered inside and saw a tall demon with a fluffy tail and had fire balls in his hands.
"Shippo!" They all chorused.
Shippo smiled at them. He had the same kimono that he wore when he was little but it was bigger. He still had his green little bow and looked exactly the same but taller and a little muscualar in his teens.
"How did you get out of the crystals?" Sango asked him.
"I don't actually know, I woke up and I smashed the crystal and saw what happened with the ice and I melted it and she got in the way,"he looked over to his left and standing there fuming was Adeth.
She was gripping her face and had the look of hatred spread over it,"My face! You burnt my beautiful face!" She uncovered it and it was scared from Shippo's fox fire.
Inuyasha smashed the rest of the ice and allowed the others to pass through. Adeth growled and took flight and her wings flapped her hard into the air. Everyone prepared themselves for defence against the misshapened demon. Adeth fired an attack at them and both Inuyashas blocked it with Tetsaiga. Then Adeth sent attack after attack nonstop. They blocked all of them, but if she kept on slicing, they would never have thier own chance to hit her.
Sango approached herself,"Let me see your hiraikotsu." The other Sango nodded and passed her her boomerang. Sango took the boomerang and held it over her head,"Take this!" She shot it at Adeth, but Adeth saw the attack and used the power of the wind crystal and sent it flying back at Sango. It was too fast for Sango to dodge and Miroku pushed her out of the way and it struck him instead. "Miroku!"
Sango immediantly ran to his side. He clenched his side and she knew immediantly that it had cracked some ribs if not broken them all in half. He grunted in pain and tried to move but Sango put her hand on his chest,"Don't move, you'll make it worse. I'll handle her."
"Fox fire!" Shippo yelled. It wasn't like the weak attack of the young Shippo, but a lot more powerful.
A tornado of blue flames made its way at Adeth. She sent a powerful gust of wind that blew Priestess Kagome right into Inuyasha. But the gust only seemed to make it more powerful because the flaming cyclone roared in power and was coming after her. But Adeth put both the powers of wind and ice and made a blizzard and the flames were burned out. Adeth shot an ice dagger at him, but Shippo jumped up and kicked it into pieces. Shippo would die if he saw himself, thought Kagome watching the new Shippo.
Adeth flapped her wings and smiled at them,"Hm, dance my little puppets, dance!" Giant icicles the size of stalagmites came falling down and they all had to scatter. Both Sangos grabbed Miroku by the shoulders and pulled him out of harm's way, but they had to dodge each attack as it rained down. He looked at his wrist seeing if he could use his wind tunnel on her, but he couldn't move and wouldn't risk it.
Suddenly Kagome let out a shriek of pain. The school girl dropped to her knees. Blood showed up in the front of her blouse and the dagger was shoved into her back. The rim of her skirt was being soaked in blood. It was dramatic silence as she fell to the floor.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha ran over to her. He picked up her head,"C'mon Kagome, stay with us, don't die." He grabbed the dagger's handle,"It's okay, its very shallow. Sorry Kagome there's no better way to do this." He twisted the handle and pulled it out. Kagome let out a whimper and flinched with pain. Inuyasha carried her over to where Miroku was. He turned to Adeth,"You'll pay for that one! You will pay!" He took out Tetsaiga and jumped up and slashed at her.
She jumped back, but he had managed to strike her in her chest. She looked down and saw that the Spirit Crystal was cracked. She looked down at him with very little surprise or emotion,"How dare you attack my crystal. Now you will have to face the consequences!" She flew him back with a powerful gust of wind and he flew into Shippo. The future Inuyasha took out his blade.
"Let's finish this, once and for all!" Inuyasha jumped up, ready to slash at her.
"Yes, let's." She also charged at him, but did not use the power of the crystals, but her demonic powers from Death.
She slashed down at him with her claws, but Inuyasha blocked it with his sword. They clashed for a while, both attacking and dodging attacks. Then Adeth punched Inuyasha in the jaw and kicked him back in the gut.
"Iron reever soul stealer!" Came the cry of a little girl. Naori came from behind and slashed down Adeth's back. She shrieked in pain.
"How dare you, you half breed!" She did a spinning kick and kicked her in the jaw. Naori was thrown back.
"Naori!" Inuyasha dropped his sword and ran to catch her. She landed in his arms and rubbed her eyes.
She let out a gasp,"Daddy, is it really you?" She gave a great big smile and wrapped her arms around his neck. He also hugged her.
"I missed you Naori,"he muttered. She was just about to answer, when Inuyasha had to jump back to avoid an attack from Adeth.
"How sweet, but I rather don't like mushy stuff like this, so I'll cut it short!" Adeth made a whip appear and slashed down at them.
Mazuki shot infront of them and put her arm out to block it. The whip wrapped around it and she pulled it out of Adeth's hands and smached her in the face with it. She dropped the whip with the look of triumph on her face.
"Mazuki!" Sango shouted. Mazuki waved to her and Sango was about to run up to her, but Adeth swooped down and pulled Mazuki up in a head lock."Mazuki!" Sango and Miroku both shouted.
Adeth smiled while Mazuki struggled,"You didn't think I wouldn't take care of them, did you?" She squeezed tighter and Mazuki gasped for breath. Sango let out an angry whimper.
Mazuki glared at her arm and bit it. Adeth let out a shriek and Mazuki elbowed her in the gut causing Adeth to drop her. Mazuki landed on her feet and ran back to her parents. They hugged her and Sango was on the verge of tears. "How did you get out of her spell?" Miroku asked his daughter.
"I dunno, we just woke up and saw all the commotion." She wrapped her arms around his waist. Sango stood up and glared at Adeth.
"Enough of the small stuff, its time we get down to business!" Miroku also got up and so did Kagome. They all took thier stances. The Inuyashas walked beside them with thier swords drawn.
"Naori, you and Mazuki go with Shippo and stay out of this,"said Kagome.
"But mom-" Naori pleaded.
"No buts or your grounded. Now take the other Kagome and Miroku and get out of here." Naori looked at the determination on her mother's face and they turned and ran off to the wounded. Naori and Mazuki helped the young school girl and Shippo took care of Miroku. They ran back into the darkness, not really knowing where to go or how to leave.
