Chapter 6-A Wolfs words on War
(A/N: I just thought I'd let you know that I have been giving things a considerable thought as to the way this story is going and since I have 6 chapters counting this one posted and only 2 reviews means I'm not getting my fair share of things. Meaning that if I don't have at least 4-5 reviews soon I am deleting this story and the others. Just so you know ahead of schedule. Anyway enjoy! Please Review.)
They walked through the passage way and into a corridor that took to a flight of stair that led upward. Every once in a while Miroku would stop and try to slow down the walking so he could plan their escape being made in his head. However, the idea of the escaping was quickly destroyed when Inuyasha shoved Miroku when he stopped the fourth time and force him to be slammed into a nearby wooden pillar before forcing him to continue their trip to their cells of confinement.
"Don't do that again monk," said Inuyasha who made it a clear sign to everyone that any attempt in stalling the walk would only cause some form of injury to them.
They finally made their way out of the corridor to another with the view of a luscious tranquil garden that was very beautiful on one side and on the other were guards next to several large sliding rice paper doors. Inuyasha abruptly stopped as did the guards around the prisoners forcing THEM to stop as well. Inuyasha then snapped his fingers and the guards slid opened the doors almost immediately. "Enter," said Inuyasha in a dark voice as a sign that he was in no mood to be nice to them.
"What?" said Kagome unsure of why they were being imprisoned in such a nice place.
"Did I stutter. Enter. Or else!" said Inuyasha who grabbed Shippo and threw him against the hard wood wall as a sign he wasn't kidding around.
"What's or else?" said Sango curiously in hopes she could take her chances and escape or at least take a few of the demons down.
"Why don't you ask the two who are in their with Shippo. They already know what happens when you try the alternative," said Inuyasha who pointed to the shadowy figures barely seeable near the different walls of the room.
Sango along with Kagome and the others looked carefully and saw to their horror that the other two figures in the room with Shippo were both Koga and Kikyo. "This cannot be! How did you imprison Koga much less Kikyo in their?" said Miroku in surprise.
"My master knows many things monk. It's...only natural that she is able to tie down any loose ends other then yourselves. Did you really think that I would let you near Tsubaki knowing all that you are? Don't take me for some half-witted fool who doesn't know you as I do. This room was prepared to counteract ALL of your powers and abilities since you've arrived here. Barriers and seals all around thanks to the Dark Priestess and all the knowledge I have given her about ALL of you. You will enter your prison or I will do something that will make you feel...spineless inside. Heheh," said Inuyasha with a smile in a really dark voice that made Kilalas fur rise up in fear as the fire cat demon easily remembered what Inuyasha did to the previous General.
Inuyasha pointed to the opening as an order for them to walk into the room prepared for them and the reluctantly entered only to have Kagome face him at the door. "How could you like Tsubaki Inuyasha? After what she tried to do to you the last time? What about me?" said Kagome as she stared into the endless blood red demon eyes of Inuyasha.
"What about you?" said Inuyasha coldly as he made motion of the hand to slide the door shut, but he stopped half-way.
"Inuyasha?" said Kagome curiously.
"I know why I have become slightly weakened by your presence Kagome. It is because somewhere in my heart I felt something I thought was dead. It was that something that has aloud YOU...and the others to stay alive. If I had felt nothing for you I would have let them kill you on the spot. Just thought you should know," said Inuyasha who motioned his hand again for guards to shut the doors all the way.
Kagome turned around and found she found herself staring at a bloodied up Koga and a partially hurt Kikyo who found that even though she was wounded she was not loosing any of her strength due to what was done to this room. "Koga...Kikyo what happen to you?" said Miroku as he, Sango, Kagome looked over their wounds.
"Inuyasha happened," they both said at the same time with the sound of pain in their voice.
"How?" said Shippo who finally got up from the impact of the wall he was thrown into by Inuyasha.
"I'm still wondering that myself," said Koga as he tried to move his body to a better looking sitting position as blood from his head slowly dripped from his face and onto the ground.
(Flash Back)
"Koga the enemy army is approaching out from the trees as you thought they would," said a wolf demon that kneeled next to him.
"Anything else?" said Koga who was standing over a small cliff over what would soon be a battlefield.
"Yes. Their leader is...a half-demon," said the wolf demon that saw that Kogas face was filled with surprise and some delight mixed in with disbelief.
"You're serious? That's interesting. Either the half-demon is strong due to a sacred jewel in him or...his army is weak. No demon in their right mind would follow the orders of a half-demon regardless of how strong they were, but still," said Koga with his words trailing of who could feel something in the pit of his stomach forming as a sign of bad things to come.
"Shall we proceed to engaged them with our army Koga?" said the wolf demon.
"Yes. Lets show these fools why they should never let a half-breed do a demons job," said Koga as he took off a giant whirlwind.
(On the other side)
"General Inuyasha all is prepared as you asked for," said a loyal servant as he kneeled before is commander.
"Good. Remember the wolf with the two jewel shards on his back is mine and mine alone. The rest you can kill or do as you please, but my orders stand as they are. Understand?" said Inuyasha as he looked on as his troops marched out of the forest to meet the other army.
"Yes General Inuyasha," said the soldier as he got up from the ground and left his masters immense presence that he generated.
Another figure came behind Inuyasha and kneeled in a similar fashion before the General before being acknowledged by his master. "Yes Lieutenant Shinn. What is it?" said Inuyasha without even a backward glance at his key officer.
"Your second-in-command is in position for the surprise attack my General and will await the single to engage the enemy when you see fit," said Shinn as he waited to hear his commander's response.
"I don't think that will be necessary Shinn. I've decided to hold off the surprise attack on them till after we win the battle in order to cut them off from retreating," said Inuyasha as he finally turned around to face his Lieutenant.
"Yes General I will inform him immediately. If I may General Inuyasha...isn't HE a bit young to have as a second in command?" said Shinn as he got up from the ground and looked into the Generals eyes that were red as they were empty inside.
The eyes alone sent a small chill down Shinn's spine as he saw his commander give a surprising smile to his question. "HE...maybe young my dear Lieutenant, but...he is an expert in killing demons...just like his big sister," said Inuyasha as his voice seemed to darken with every word that came out of his mouth.
"His...sister?" said Shinn who was somewhat surprised at the Generals words.
"Yes, I know her too, but that is the past my Lieutenant and right now we focus on the present...to achieve the future," said Inuyasha as he drew Tetsuigia and turned back to the battle unfolding.
Suddenly, to Shinn's surprise Inuyasha leaped at great speed from the ground high into the air, passed the trees, and onto a hill with a very steep slope meant for increasing ones speed if someone or something ran down it. Shinn watched in amazement as ran down the steep slope that seemed to make him go faster with each passing second that made him look like a silver blur with red eyes that almost seemed lidless and the very sight of them could make even the strongest of warriors hearts run cold with fear. The great General Inuyasha: The Silver Devil. It was times like those that he was glad he was fighting WITH his General then AGAINST him. "I better report to my General's second-in-command before it's too late," said Shinn as he slowly regained his composure from seeing his General charge the battlefield.
(On the battlefield itself)
Kogas army put up a decent fight, but decent to Koga was only good if they were slowly yet surely winning the battle. They were not. Koga found that he was strangely being avoided by the enemy as if they had been instructed to leave him alone. Granted some fought him if only to defended themselves from his attacks, but none of them attack him aggressively, which he found strange. "What the Hell is going on?" said Koga.
It was then in the distance Koga could barely see something coming that's demon aura that seemed to be screaming for blood. Koga saw the silverfish figure pierce through his ranks of wolves and other demons loyal to his clan causing major devastation throughout his army. "TODAY I WILL FEAST ON THE BLOOD OF WOLVES!" said the figure in silverfish armor now stained with the blood of Kogas comrades as he sliced, cut, clawed, and bit into the countless wolves before him.
"I don't believe it," said Koga for it was then that Koga recognized the voice to be none other then...Inuyasha.
Inuyasha killed another wolf demon before seeing Koga from beyond the dead demons body and smiled at him. "Fancy meeting you here wolf boy," said Inuyasha as he let out an evil laugh with smile to match.
"Hey mutt what are you doing here? I thought..." that was all Koga got out for Inuyasha swiftly attacked Koga by kneeing him hard in the chest sending him flying into a somewhat clearer space of the battlefield.
"Don't think wolf just fight. Less talking more fighting and killing," said Inuyasha as he cut through the wolves that stood between him and Koga before they were both several feet apart.
"Why you little..." said Koga as he let out an angry growl at Inuyasha only to have it silenced by Inuyashas own that seemed to make Kogas look like a weak whimper in comparison.
"I'll make you deal Koga. You give me the shards in your legs and I will let you become one of my loyal Lieutenants in my army and to serve me. What do you say?" said a calm sounding Inuyasha as he put away Tetsuigia as a show of good faith.
"The day I serve you mutt is the day I'm not the leader f the wolves anymore," said Koga as he attacked Inuyasha with his own legs.
"That's quite a shame Koga. I really thought you would have given more insight into what I'm offering you then just this land to rule if you served me and my master. However, I now see you are too narrow-minded to understand such things," said Inuyasha as he blocked Kogas attacks with ease with the sides of his arms and unleashing his own counter attacks to them causing Koga more harm then good.
"Oh really then why don't you explain it to me?" said Koga who out of desperation tried to kick the side of Inuyashas head only to have his leg of a weapon stopped by Inuyashas hand as he grabbed Kogas leg and slammed him into the ground nearly becoming unconscious from the impact.
"As I said Koga you are too narrow-minded to understand what I am offering. Perhaps when are more...perceptive then you are now in my dungeon for demons like you," said Inuyasha as he saw Koga slowly get up from the ground with an angry look on his face.
"Never!" said Koga as he tried to land at least one punch on Inuyasha before all his strength left him.
"You fool!" said Inuyasha in a dark voice as his smile left his cocky face and turned into an enraged one as he grabbed Kogas stretched out arm with his left hand and with the right slammed it into Kogas shattering the bone in four difference places making it useless.
"AHHHHHHH! My arm! You broke my...arm!" said Koga as he shut one of his eyes trying to block out the pain.
"Please wolf boy when I'm done with you I'm going to break much more then your bones," said Inuyasha as he then moved incredibly fast behind the severely bleeding Koga and slammed his fist into Kogas head knocking him out cold.
At that point Inuyasha realized that the battle had started to end and the opposing demons that weren't dead or dying surrendered to the victors of the fight rather then run away from the fighting. Inuyasha could hear the men's roaring cheers as they were victorious once more as they raised their weapons high as proof they were once more triumphant in battle once more. "GENERAL...GENERAL...GENERAL...," said the troops as they continued to call out the name "General" to honor him with the victory in the fight.
Inuyasha smiled at his men as they went into wild frenzy of sorts in the form of celebration when he acknowledged them for it, but quickly turned his attention to Koga. He then remembered what he had planned to do when he defeated the wolf leader...take his jewel shards from his legs. With keen and almost surgical precision Inuyasha did just that as he opened up Kogas legs carefully to pry the jewel shard from them. He could have been messy and just clawed them out, but he had decided against it. Inuyasha believed that saving him now would benefit himself later on in the future when he would count on it the most.
Inuyasha felt that with the leader of the wolfs injuries he had personally delivered were so severe that clawing them out would cause Koga to die from the lack of blood in his body. And Inuyasha didn't want to do that...at least not yet anyway as he took the jewel shards and put them away securely in his armor. "Now that I have the shards of the sacred jewel to give my master I have yet to decide what to do with you? You'd probably want me to kill you to end the shame of loosing to half-breed. Well I'm not going to do that because like you Koga...others have fallen to me that were just as strong as you were with and without the jewel shards in them. Some were even stronger then you and they still lost to me so don't worry about being ashamed of loss and dying. In fact I think I'll take you back with us to the castle as my prisoner till you see what I have accomplished and then maybe just maybe...you'll see light in the darkness," said Inuyasha as he the picked up a bleeding Koga and put him on his back as he motioned his troops forward back home with the wounded and defeated warriors in tow.
