Chapter 12:
The Battle
"Another level cleared," Lt Fukizawa said.
"What's going on?" Cptn Higurashi, "These levels look unfazed".
"No kidding," Inuyasha said, "I can't smell anything. Naraku is up to something!"
They went through several levels, not a soul had been found in any level. All of Kagome's troops were inside and they were rapidly going from floor to floor. It was going to well. A week long artillery would be demoralizing, but not this demoralizing. There was no one there in the first place, or it was a trap. They continued down through the levels. Down many levels. They had to stop after a while. And let all the groups get back into position. They had went down so many levels that many groups had gotten a little ahead, and others a little behind. They went deep underground. At least thirty levels. And not a single contact made. Not even a sign of life there. Not until the number of entrances to the next floor became one, and forced the Cptn. Higurashi's forces to go as one larger force.
"Great," Lt. Fukizawa ohh so sarcastically said, "Choke point".
"Lt Fukizawa," Cptn Higurashi said.
"Ma'am," Lt. Fukizawa answered.
"You and your forces are to are going to come with me," Cptn Higurashi ordered, "Every one else keep control of this spot".
"Yes Ma'am," Lt. Fukizawa answered.
The majority of the army took up defensive positions, while the Lt. Fukizawa and her section of the army went with Cptn Higurashi and Inuyasha. The next portion of the underground bunker changed in style. The went on down through a hallway a long one that was a spiral heading down. Farther and farther, underground. It didn't last to long though. They finally made it all the way through. They came out into a ledge overlooking a massive complex.
"Ohh shit," Inuyasha said. Finally drawing his Tetseiga.
"There are a lot of demons there," Kagome said.
"Yeah," Inuyasha replied, "Too many!"
"What are those things?" Lt. Fukizawa asked.
"We should try to get to the surface," Inuyasha said, "Those flying things might be able to something to help fighting them".
"That many floors?" Cptn Higurashi replied.
"Too many for both of to handle," Inuyasha said, "I doubt that there strong enough".
"Everyone to the surface," Cptn Higurashi ordered, "Radio the majority of the army tell them to retreat to the surface, radio the forces on the surface tell them to prepare".
"If we are going to draw them to the surface, shouldn't we do something to get their attention," Lt. Fukizawa said.
"They already know we're here," Inuyasha answered.
They quickly followed Captain Higurashi's orders, Kagome and Inuyasha were at the rear. Being the only two who were able to actually do something to the demons. The occasional demon came up on them down Kagome quickly gunned them down. The majority of the demons were fighting to get into the hallway. They made it to the choke point.
"Lt. Fukizawa your in charge prepare for them," Cptn Higurashi ordered.
"But...," Lt. Fukizawa replied.
"Just go," Kagome said, "We'll hold them off, then we'll catch up. Don't worry about us"
Lt. Fukizawa rushed off, towards the surface. While Kagome and Inuyasha stayed behind.
"Finally, were alone," Inuyasha said, "Even if we're in a battle".
"Stay on the task at hand," Kagome replied.
"I'm not going to let anything happen to you!" Inuyasha said, "If I don't get through this, I want you to know that the incident with Kikyo was not what it looked like!"
"Not now Inuyasha," Kagome said, "We have something to do!"
"Stop using that as a shield!" Inuyasha snarled, "You're doing that a lot since I came back!"
"I'm not going to be a second to Kikyo!" Kagome snapped.
"Kikyo's dead," Inuyasha replied.
"Yeah, I know," Kagome said.
"I killed her," Inuyasha said, "She was the one who made us go separate ways".
"That's the part I don't believe," Kagome replied.
"What?" Inuyasha snarled.
"I don't believe you killed her!" Kagome replied.
"Shippo can back what I say," Inuyasha retaliated, "Sango, and Miroku believe me!"
"Really," Kagome sarcastically answered.
"Go back to the feudal era and find out!" Inuyasha said.
"I will!" Kagome replied, "When this war ends!"
"That's fair," Inuyasha replied, "Hear that, they're coming!"
They readied their weapons, and prepared for the attack. The demons came, bursting through. Kagome opened fire. The demons fell like flies, they couldn't retreat, the demons behind were pushing them forward. When Kagome was reloading, Inuyasha used his wind scar. There was a couple demons got close enough to do damage but, Inuyasha struck them down, before the could do anything. They did that for what seemed like hours, but in combat five minutes can seem like an eternity, so it was like on fifteen twenty minutes.
"Inuyasha," Kagome said, "I'm getting low on ammo"
"Then let's get out of here," Inuyasha replied, "Get on my back, we'll regroup with the others"
"Alright," Kagome replied. She climbed onto Inuyasha's back.
"Wind Scar," Inuyasha yelled. Then immediately ran though the bunker, towards the surface. With Kagome on his back. Even with his speed, it took him a while to get to the surface. They made a ways up, but they stopped. They seen many bodies littered the floor.
"Some demons must hid themselves," Inuyasha said, "I don't think it was only one or two of them either".
"Not all have been killed yet," Kagome said, "Let's hurry!". Kagome and Inuyasha went on. They went considerably slower, but went at a fast pace. They went through many rooms, with a number of bodies in each one. They did see a couple demons killed, but not many. They kept going onto that one room.
"Ayumi," Kagome said.
"Kagome," Ayumi said, "We tried to get to the surface, but they somehow got behind us".
"Don't talk," Kagome said, "It will only make worse for you!"
"It's to late for me," Ayumi said, "Just do everything in your power to stay alive! Here take these!"
"It's not to late for you!" Kagome yelled.
"We got to get going," Inuyasha said urgently.
Then it happened Ayumi stopped breathing, Kagome tried everything to get her breathing again but couldn't. She kept on trying though.
"Kagome it's to late," Inuyasha said, "She's gone, we were to late".
"No!" Kagome screamed, "It's not to late!"
Inuyasha tried to put some sense into Kagome, but Kagome just stood over a her close friend crying.
Someone who hadn't made an appearance, just made his appearance. In his typical manner he said, "Get up woman, get up this is a battle, there is no time for that!"
"No," she replied.
"Inuyasha, can you pry her off," he asked as he drew on of his swords.
Inuyasha seen which swords he was about to use, and didn't hesitate to pry her off.
"Let me go!" Kagome screamed.
"Shut up woman," he said as he swung the sword at Ayumi. She immediately woke up. It was Sesshoumaru who came into the room and revived Ayumi. "Are you going to get up and fight now woman?"
Kagome helped Ayumi get up. "How am I alive?"
"We'll answer that latter," Sesshoumaru replied, "We have to go!"
They left the room and continued to the surface. It didn't take long, they only two floors short. Once they made it out, they went and seen him.
"I see he hadn't changed his appearance all these years," Kagome said.
"Nope," Inuyasha replied.
"Who is he?" Ayumi asked.
"Naraku!" Sesshoumaru answered.
