Chapter 15-Dark and Divine Intervention
In the past Kikyo could have normally taken down Inuyasha with ease with a single arrow. She could follow his movements with ease and make the necessary shot before he could ever react to it. However, the past had caught up to her and Inuyasha was a different person now then he was 50 years ago. He was taller, stronger, faster, smarter, and now wielded two powerful swords that made her sacred arrows look weak in comparison. Inuyasha sent wave after wave of energy from the two swords at her that she barely dodged only to have Inuyasha come at her and give her a swift kick in the gut. "How does it feel Kikyo? To be on the receiving end of an attack from someone who you've persecuted for so long? It's not nice to feel pain like that now is it? Well get use to it. I have had to deal with persecution my...whole...life!" said Inuyasha angrily as Kikyo slowly got up from the ground.
"Inuyasha...stop this please! Your mind is being poisoned by Naraku. All he wants from you is to kill us. When you have completed that task he will kill you and send all of Japan into darkness," said Kikyo as she shot an arrow at Inuyasha who knocked it away with Tokijin.
"Shut up! You have no idea what my master has done for me. He saved me from dying at your hands...ALL of your hands. He helped me unlock my full potential. He has been more like family to me then you and all the others combined. And if anyone deserved to truly die today its YOU!" said Inuyasha pointing Tetsuigia at Kikyo.
"I'll get you!" said Sango as she drew her own sword for battle. She had been preoccupied checking up on everyone that Inuyasha defeated.
"So you've come back to even the odds Sango. Well it won't help you now," said Inuyasha as he blocked her attack with Tokijin without even trying and then moved around her and kicked her in the back sending her flying across the grass.
"Shame really. In another lifetime...I might actually feel sorry for you," said Inuyasha.
"What is a shame Inuyasha is your lack perception!" said Kikyo as she fired another sacred arrow at him.
"You should heed your own advice! Sometimes those who say you lack perception are often the ones who...DO!" said Inuyasha as he sent an energy blast from Tokijin at the sacred arrow causing an intense explosion that hit both Kikyo and Inuyasha.
When the smoke cleared only Inuyasha remained standing at the end the victor of the fight. Kikyo lay on the grass under a tree that from Inuyashas point of view she hit from the force of the explosion. "Well done Lord Inuyasha! You have defeated them all. Congratulations," said Narakus voice telepathically into Inuyashas mind.
"Yes. And now they shall receive the final blow that will send them to hell," said Inuyasha as he raised Tetsuigia over his head.
"NO! Lord Inuyasha you must not kill them...yet! Bring them here to the castle. It will be here that we dispose of them all in one motion," said Narakus voice in Inuyashas head.
"Yes master I will do what you ask of me," said Inuyasha who put away both swords picked up Kaguras head and stuffed it away and then picked everyone up on his back, except for Shippo and Kilala who he put in each hand as he headed back to the castle.
(At Narakus castle at that moment)
"NO! Lord Sesshomarru! You can't be...defeated," said Rin in shock as she fell back in complete surprise of the events that had just taken place.
"Don't worry Rin there is still hope," said Kagome, but even she knew that hope seemed so far away right now.
"There is no hope for you or any of you now. You will soon lose all you have loved and lost all you hold dear," said a voice from the opposite side of Rins wall.
"Whose their?" said Kagome knowing the sound of the voice was familiar.
"I have already said too much," said the voice as the sound of footsteps soon came from that room as the person in that room left it.
"Who was that?" said Kagome curiously.
(Hours Later)
Inuyasha entered Narakus castle and passed the barrier that protected it as well as his master that lived in it from harm. He walked along the corridors of the castle until he reached a specific door. It opened for him automatically as if the castle itself was alive. He placed each of the unconscious bodies he carried on the ground one by one near each other. He then proceeded to bind their hands and feet with chains and weights that they had done to him when he was their prisoner not long ago. When he was done the wall to his right turned into a rice papered sliding door and opened for him like the first one did. "Master will have to teach me that when this castle becomes mine when he passes away," said Inuyasha out loud as he entered the room to find Rin in a corner farthest away from the new door.
Another door also appeared to the left of Rin that also slid open and he found Kagome standing their in total surprise. "Inuyasha?" she said in total shock.
"Hello Kagome. We have to talk," said Inuyasha as he walked into the room passed Rins shaking body who with her head buried in her knees and eyes closed couldn't hear or see a thing.
Moments later, after hearing muffled sounds in the next room Rin was still trembling with her face now buried into the wall not wanting to see if Inuyasha was their. She feared he would strike her down at any moment as the sound of his footsteps could be heard on the hard wooden floor. Inuyasha walked over to the little child till his shadow consumed her whole body. She finally looked up at him to see the powerful presence that was him. "Hell...hello," said Rin who was hoping that Inuyasha was in a good mood.
"Hello Rin. Remember me? I'm Lord Inuyasha. I'm the one who took you away from Sesshomarru and brought you here through Narakus insects before my capture. If you follow some instructions I have for you then you then you will be fine. Disobey and I will send you to the other side. Agreed?" said Inuyasha whose eyes seemed to soften just a bit.
"Agreed. What are your orders...Lord Inuyasha?" said Rin who slowly got up from the ground out of fear.
"Their very simple Rin. First you must follow me into the next room. After that I will give you the next set of instructions to follow. Now follow me child," said Inuyasha as he started walking to the next room.
"Yes...Lord Inuyasha," said Rin who bowed her head and walked behind Inuyasha into the next room.
It was their she saw her TRUE master Lord Sesshomarru along with Kagome and everyone else that were all still unconscious and tied down. She wanted to run to him and hug him, but she knew better then that even at her young age. "Now for the next set of orders. Sit down next to Lord Sesshomarru with feet and arms stretched out in front of you so I can put restraints on you," said Inuyasha who saw Rins mixed feelings when he said that.
She immediately ran up to Sesshomarru and sat down next to him with her arms and legs stretched out in front of her. "Ready Lord Inuyasha," said Rin whose feeling of happiness clearly showed over the fear of the half-demon who was giving her instructions.
"Do not think this will be enjoyable Rin. This will be your last bit of happiness before tomorrow," said Inuyasha who put the chains and weights on Rin with ease.
"What happens tomorrow?" said Rin curiously.
"Simple child. You like your master and all the others here in this room you see restrained will...die!" said Inuyasha whose face finally revealed a nasty and evil looking smile as he used his power to make Rin go to sleep.
