Chapter 6: On a Wing and a PrayerHello. Koji again, picking up where Yumi left off. Kikyo looked disturbed by the news of Naraku's new powers, but agreed to help us. Inuyasha and the gang had given up and returned a few hours after I woke up. After a long awkward moment between Kagome, Kikyo and Inuyasha (which were growing increasingly frustrating), we all got together to get a plan together.
"Ok, how about this?' I said, drawing little figures on the ground "We'll need to take out Naraku's barrier as quickly as we possibly can" I looked toward Inuyasha and said "You'll have to get in there fast, before he realizes we're there"
"Right" he said, nodding
I looked towards Kikyo and Kagome "After his barrier's down, you two will have to fire sacred arrows at him to lessen his powers" Both of the girls nodded. "Miroku and Sango" I said, turning to them "Will be making sure he can't regenerate. Inuyasha, you too. Yumi and I will be going after Yamiko, agreed?"
Everyone nodded. "Well then, let's go!"
We were all in position inside Naraku's Castle. Kikyo had opened the barrier for us, and we all made our way to Naraku's room. "Is everyone ready?" I asked quietly. They all nodded and we prepared to attack, but a voice form inside said "Please, come in"
The doors swung open and we saw Naraku sitting on the floor, Yamiko smirking behind him. "So nice of you to join us" Naraku said, getting up. "Shut up Naraku!" Inuyasha yelled "I'm gonna kill you right here!"
"Just try it" Naraku said. Inuyasha yelled and ran at Naraku, who put up a barrier, but Inuyasha turned the Tetsusaiga red and broke it. "Now!" I yelled, and Kikyo and Kagome started the volley of arrows. I looked around. During the attack, Yamiko had slipped away…
Yamiko smirked as he walked away. If Naraku was any kind of evil, he'd find a way to remain alive. He started talking to himself. "Yes, Koji's here… I don't know… Has the girl been taken care of? Good, we'll draw him to us, no matter where he goes. He'll probably find me soon, so get ready to deactivate the link if necessary. Over and out."
He rested underneath a tree, and after a few hours, I showed up there with Yumi. "I've been waiting for you" he said, pulling out a dark version of what looked like my Soul Blade. He put a small crystal vial in the end and a glowing blade came out, but it was an evil glow, nothing like a soul's light. "The Vial Blade?" I said quietly. I recognized it, but from where, I didn't know…
"That's right" he said "We shall fight to see who is more powerful!" he dove at me, but I dodged to the right and the attack missed. He growled and swung again, but I created a blade and blocked. Taking the offensive now, I jumped in the air and lunged down at him, but he threw the strike aside with his sword. I turned the blade into a propeller and charged again. He couldn't block all the hits from the rapidly spinning 4-bladed weapon. He fell back, his clothes torn and bloody. He lay down a minute but then struggled to get back on his feet. "Very impressive" he said, breathing heavily "But how well can you fight in the air?"
He jumped up, and unfurled a pair of pitch black wings. Flapping them, he started to fly away. Yumi got worked up into a panic. "Oh no!" he said "He's getting away and I can't fly yet and it's my element and I'm the worst demon ever!"
I hit him on the head and shouted above his stammers "Clam down, I'll get him" He looked at me and said "But… You can't fly…" I smiled and opened my pure white wings hidden in my back. Yumi gasped, and then asked "Since when do you have wings?" I stuck my tongue out at him before taking off after Yamiko.
Sorry this new chapter took so long, but with Midterms and everything, I haven't had time... Anyway, So Yamiko is all that remains between Koji and Yumi's next stop, but who was he taking to? Who is this girl he mentioned? What IS Yamiko anyway? And why can't I get any reveiws? (sigh) Next Chapter: One for the Angels. "Wait... could Yamiko be..."
