No More Chances, No More Forgiveness
Chapter 17
Revealing Idenities
Sesshomaru and Kagome waited armed and ready for the hanyou to appear. They stood back to back as they scanned the clearing around them. Each having the others back if should the hanyou choose to attack in surprise.
The morning rays that managed to get through without getting blocked by the tall trees, scattered around them. The wind blew in silence, no chirps from the birds or the little scurrying of the animals were heard, it seemed all choose to be silent and cower away, as if they knew what was gonna occur.
Sesshomaru growled lowly as he smelled the scent coming from Kagome's side. He spoke silently in a small whisper, so quiet if Kagome wasn't near she wouldn't have heard.
"Hold on tightly on me."
Kagome turned her head confused at him and opened her mouth to ask what he meant by that, but was silenced when he wrapped his arm around her petite waist with Toukijin in hand, and formed his poison whip in his other. He then span around quickly making his attack offensive and defensive, if should the hanyou attack them. The whip snapped at everything and anything close by, melting and crumbling when hit.
Kagome had wrapped her arms around Sesshomaru's neck to hold for dear life, so she didn't fall off and get in the way of the attack. When Sesshomaru heard a hiss from behind him, he smirked, stopping his spinning and direct his attack on that person. The hanyou didn't fall for it twice as he grabbed the whip before it could hit. The poison whip started to sizzle into his hand, from what Sesshomaru's nose could smell, but the hanyou grinned and tossed the whip away. Sesshomaru then retreat his whip and faced the hanyou who continued to grin at him in the foliage of the trees. He let go of Kagome who was then supporting her dizzy head, where everything was spinning in her point of view.
"Come to cause more trouble Naraku?" Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes on him.
Naraku smiled as he walked out of the camouflage of the trees. Kagome shook her head off the dizziness and picked up her bow and arrows that Sesshomaru had made her drop when he decided to go merry-go-around all the sudden. She notched an arrow and carefully followed Naraku with her eyes as he approached and stopped feet away from the couple.
"I'm hurt Sesshomaru….how could you think such thing of me," he evilly smiled.
"Because this Sesshomaru can smell the fowl stench of a poor excuse of a youkai, even for a hanyou."
Naraku grinned further, "Ah…you say poor excuse for a youkai, ne? Well…for a taiyoukai, you must feel more pride rutting with a ningen perhaps?"
Kagome's eyes widened and her arms slacken a bit. How does he know!
Sesshomaru glared dangerously at Naraku, and then glanced down at Kagome who seemed to have been startled of his knowledge of something so personal. He quickly turned to Naraku and snarled.
"You either hand over the rest of the Shikon jewel or be forced to." he tightened his hold on Toukijin.
Naraku closed his head and bowed his head as he chuckled. His chuckle turned into laughs, and then finally hysterical as he raised his head to the sky. Naraku brought his head to face the two as they prepared to attack. His lips formed a thin line as his eyes twinkled in amusement. His lips opened slightly as he whispered.
"Make me."
Sesshomaru and Kagome expect as much, from the unwilling and swine of a hanyou. He wouldn't give it up without a fight, which the two didn't mind. It would make his death more enticing.
Sesshomaru then sped forward and went on the offense, while Kagome tried to sense where Sesshomaru could get the shards. She pinpointed a huge chuck of the jewel in his chest. It was growing darker by the minute, but she could still see the faint light to it. The good thing about this was the fact; it was the real Naraku, instead of his puppets.
As Sesshomaru grew close for an attack, Naraku's human body burst into his different form youkai body. His long length tentacles wiggled and waved around him, prepared to strike. He grinned as they straightened into one direction, that direction being Sesshomaru's, and then launched all them 2 at a time as he ran forward. Sesshomaru dodged each tentacle sent his way, as Kagome tried purifying them, to make a way for Sesshomaru to hit Naraku, but it just made it worst, since 2 just replaced the last ones.
Naraku grinned and side glanced at Kagome as he sent a tentacle after her. Sesshomaru caught this and growled as he changed directions and cut the tentacle that was sent for her. Sesshomaru was then standing in front of Kagome who was panting slightly.
"We…we…need to get those shards out of his body," she whispered, "With those shards in his body, they're just increasing his power and making his attacks unending."
Sesshomaru nodded his head in agreement as he held up his sword prepared to attack again.
"Where are the shards?"
Kagome turned her head to see past Sesshomaru's body. She scanned Naraku's body for the little lights and groaned as they were now scattered all around his tentacles, too many to count, so she couldn't tell how many where in each tentacle.
"It's hard to say…" she paused as Sesshomaru grabbed her by the waist and jumped away from another incoming tentacle. "It's all over his body"
Sesshomaru smirked as he jumped up in a tree and placed Kagome down, "Even better…stay here."
Kagome was about to protest about helping him out, but he left in a blink of an eye. She scowled as she spotted him cutting each tentacle, hoping to get the shards out.
Naraku chuckled, "You think you can defeat me that easily Sesshomaru-SAMA? Think again!"
Naraku formed more tentacles and spun around to confuse him. Sesshomaru growled as he jumped and cut the tentacles that were attacking at him when they came around in his direction. But it irrigated him further when the tentacles doubled and miasma was released with each one he took out. He jumped back and covered his nose, calling out to Kagome without looking back at her.
"Don't breathe it."
Kagome nodded as she covered her nose with Sesshomaru's haori. She felt so helpless, her in a tree, covering her nose from poison and unable to attack unless she could hold her breath long enough. Kagome's eyes lit up and breathed deeply before dropping the haori away from her nose and notched an arrow as she tried to get a good shot at Naraku. She narrowed her eyes on a sparkling speck at his chest. She released her energy into the arrow as she sent it sailing and hitting Naraku on the chest, stopping his attack. Sesshomaru jumped up in the air and took this opportunity. He slashed with Toukijin using its Dragon Strike. The blue energy spiraled and hit Naraku on the mark.
A blast was heard for miles and the miasma spread throughout the forest. Sesshomaru caught the image of Kagome in the corner of his eye loosing her breath that she inhaled some of the miasma. Her eyes closed and her hold on her weapon loosened, falling to the ground, along with her. Sesshomaru quickly caught her and landed on the ground. Kneeling, he pulled her face to his chest to stop her from breathing anymore. He growled as Naraku's aura still lingered.
The teme should be dead!
Sesshomaru then heard a chuckling as the miasma formed two crimson eyes, staring at the two.
"You haven't won yet Sesshomaru…why kill you when I could have your brother doing it for me?"
Sesshomaru growled louder that it vibrated in his chest to Kagome, "Naraku! You coward!" he snarled as Naraku disappeared, leaving his miasma and a shadowed figure behind it.
The figure seemed distant at first, but appeared to be running closer and closer by the look of his figure growing bigger. There seemed to be another figure closing in behind the first as well, if you looked past him from what he was running from. The first figure jumped through the miasma, and over to Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru snarled as he took in the image of the poor look alike of him as he grinned and a black flash of his mirror turned him back to his original body.
"Prepare to die Sesshomaru!" Genkaku cackled as he jumped to the trees to witness his destruction.
Sesshomaru was about to drop Kagome and kill the youkai then and there, until the second figure slowly past through the miasma, stopping him from doing so. Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes on the ragged youkai, fully drenched of his blood and others. His haori and pants were torn showing skin, which was colored in black and red from the wounds and continual spilling wounds. His eyes ruby blood red, stared dead at him with his canines snarling at him for blood. His lengthened claws twitched in preparation to shed blood of his maker.
The wind blew the two's hair as they stared each other down in hate and anger. One was of beauty and perfection, the other deadly and uncontrollable. Both brothers ready to fight for the death of the other's for the one they love.
Clearing the field off of the miasma, Sesshomaru laid Kagome away from the battle and tightly covered her with his haori. He kissed her on the forehead, earning a growl from Inuyasha, as he softly whispered comforting words before standing and facing Inuyasha. Sesshomaru looked down to his sword and then him to see he didn't have Tessaiga. His lips tugged upwards as he tossed Toukijin to join Tenseiga at the side. He raised his claws and formed green dokkasu as he nodded to Inuyasha. Inuyasha just grinned as his claws dug into his skin, drawing blood. He raised his hand and licked it off.
Sesshomaru made a disgust face as he waited for his otouto to make the first move, which Inuyasha didn't fail him to do so. Sesshomaru smirked as he jumped into the air and formed his whip. Sensing the attack, Inuyasha turned and jumped away quickly as the whip nearly hit him. He jumped up and blindly from his bloodlust, slashed randomly at his aniki. Sesshomaru moved side to side, dodging his attacks and found an open spot. He formed a fist full of dokkasu and smashed it to his stomach. The attack's force brought Inuyasha to the ground and formed a crater with him deep in it. He sat up and ignored the pain as he wiped the blood off his mouth. Sesshomaru looked from his grinning face down to his chest where his skin burnt from his poison. He winced at his otouto and shook his head.
"Inuyasha…you fool," he chuckled lightly, earning Inuyasha's attention. "You're in pain and yet you still want to continue?" he mocked.
Inuyasha didn't respond, yet he growled and ran forward, slashing and punching Sesshomaru blindly in his rage. Sesshomaru sighed as he low-dropped kick him and placed his foot on his wounded stomach as he fell to the ground.
"Do you wish to die?" he sternly asked. "Whether I kill you or not…you are still going to die from the way you're acting, hanyou."
Inuyasha turned his head to look at the knocked out Kagome, his eyes swirling with pain, hurt, and anger. Sesshomaru followed his gaze to Kagome and lingered there for a moment before returning to Inuyasha.
"You had your chance Inuyasha, you had a choice to pick her or the dead one, and you choice the wrong one…now you must pay the price." He said coldly.
Sesshomaru picked up Inuyasha by the neck, making him break his gaze of Kagome into his aniki's. Sesshomaru looked into the red eyes of his youkai brother. His eyes cold and free of any emotions he said.
"You may be a youkai for now…but that won't change the difference that I am still alpha and Kagome is mine." He proclaimed and dropped his brother.
Inuyasha snarled as he tried to stand only to fall down. Genkaku who was watching all this yawned. He lay on the tree branch, lying on his side, with his hand supporting his head up. Sesshomaru growled lowly at the youkai.
"That was short." He sat up stretching, "I would've at least expected a performance, but that was hardly even for an encore."
Sesshomaru disappeared and formed right in right of Genkaku. He grabbed him by the throat and hoisted him up against the tree as he let out a little bit of his dokkasu. He glared coldly at him as he grinned at Sesshomaru, with no fear.
"Where's that coward?" he snapped getting to the point.
Genkaku raised an eyebrow and shrugged his shoulders, "How should I know? I'm not him, I'm not his mother, I don't control where he goes and-"
Sesshomaru tightened his grip that made Genkaku gag. He narrowed his eyes into slits and bared his canines at him warningly.
"Do not lie to this Sesshomaru! You are his servant, his incarnation! Tell me where he is."
Genkaku grinned and raised a fisted hand. He opened his hand to show a corrupted shard glowing in his hand. Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes further if possible, as he moved only his eyes down from his shadowed face over to the shard in his hand. Genkaku lifted the shard into his forefinger and thumb. Using his forefinger, he flicked the shard from his thumb away from him. Sesshomaru followed the shard to see it get pierce into the skin of Inuyasha's. His eyes widen a fraction as the corrupted shard began to take its effect on the hanyou. He turned to Genkaku as he grinned maliciously. Sesshomaru snarled and buried his poison into Genkaku and twisted his head to break it. Genkaku then fell back limp against the tree as Sesshomaru let go of him. His breath labored as he smiled up at Sesshomaru and with his last breath said.
"I'm not telling you shit! So go to hell Sesshomaru!"
The youkai then died at the feet of Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru turned away from the demon corpse to his brother who was holding his head in pain. Sesshomaru growled as he jumped down and walked over to Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha…"
Inuyasha snapped his head up to Sesshomaru's voice. Sesshomaru's eyes widened from shock for the first time of the sight before him. He stared into the black voids of his brother's eyes. His bloody pale skin was now ghostly white as his hair. The blood that seeped out of his skin had turned black as the corrupted shard. For once in his whole life, he feared Inuyasha.
Before Sesshomaru could blink, Inuyasha was in front of him and was slashed in the chest. Sesshomaru managed to dodge from Inuyasha's suddenly quick attacks from any further damage. He staggered as he placed his hand over the 5 slashes on his chest. He looked down at the blood drip into this palm and coldly stared at it. He looked up at Inuyasha, licking his blood in pure ecstasy. Sesshomaru's eyes began to bleed red as he felt his transformation of his youkai trying to take over. Inuyasha snarled and was gone again. Sesshomaru sniffed for his scent and he growled loudly as he turned to see him picking his Kagome. He roared as he let his youkai take control. His skin grew white fur; his body expanded 10 times his humanoid form. His canines hanged out of his mouth as he snarled and huffed angrily.
His transformation smashed the trees and everything around. He looked down to Inuyasha, who held Kagome closely to his blooded chest. He howled and the fight began.
A/N: Intense isn't it? Well, let's get away from that for a bit and get to the others shall we?
XOXOXO
Sango and the gang were out of the village by sunrise. They had been on a look out for any sign of suspicious youkai and such.
Sango was the temporary leader, so she led up the gang, with Shippou on her shoulder and Kirara walking by her side. Ryu walked behind her not to far behind, and Miroku and Yuwakusha in the rear, having the time of their life. Sango occasionally looked back at the couple laugh it up or Yuwakusha whisper in Miroku's ear, which was too close to him for her comfort.
She bit her lip and tried to concentrate for the shards. She had made her mind up when she woke up, that she would be serious on her search for the shards. Once they found them all, destroyed Naraku, she would leave the group and Miroku and his 'wife' can spend all of eternity together for all she cared. Shippou looked to Sango and snuggled up to her to comfort her. Even Kirara noticed and jumped on her other shoulder to give some attention as well.
Sango giggled lightly at her little friends help and patted their heads in thanks. She might as well ignore the two and wouldn't let them ruin her last moments with her friends.
Ryu caught Sango sneaking looks at the couple behind him. He smirked mentally and silently congratulated the seducer. But when he heard that soft melodious laughter, he couldn't help but smile softly. Ryu mentally hit himself for doing such a thing. Ever since that kiss she gave him last night, he couldn't stop thinking about it. He softly growled and tried to concentrate on his mission or fear those worst from his master. Ryu looked back at the couple and could see the hoshi struggling to get away from her. But of course her powers kept him at bay, making it easy for her. He scowled and crossed his arms, grumbling how she got it easy, while he has to put up with the stubborn taijiya.
Miroku sighed in his head as he looked up at Sango. She seemed to be taking it well considering he could hear her beautiful laugh as she played with Shippou and Kirara. He didn't want this. Sure Yuwakusha was beautiful and all, but she was just plain annoying! She kept whispering nasty things of what she planned to do for him when they were alone. He kept grinning like a goof, but really, he was scared. He feared that someone actually enjoys what his mind and hand approves. He even feared what Sango would do to him when she found out. But most importantly, he feared and worried deeply about, is what would become of them.
Ever since he met Sango, he seemed to be attracted to her each day. The way she looked, the way she acted, the way she laughed, about everything about her. Sango was his everything and he would die if anything were to happen to her. He would hate himself when he hurt her, for making her mad for his stupidity…when she cried….
The thought of being with another woman or fulfilling his needs, he seemed to think how Sango would react if he did so. His lustful needs for other onnas seemed to have died out, become dull and boring to him. All he could think about was….Sango.
His eyes widened at the thought. He could hear Yuwakusha talking to him, but his mind and eyes went to the warrior just ahead of them. His body seemed to disagree with him for some reason, but in his mind and heart, they both agreed, that he has fallen and is, in love with Sango.
Yuwakusha grinned as she watched the taijiya turn once in awhile to watch in envy of her and her new lover. She would whisper in his ear to tell him all the great things she would do to him when they get alone. The look on his face was pure joy to her. She could feel him trying to get free from the spell she has on him, but she wouldn't give so easily. She continued to talk to him, but then noticed he wasn't even paying attention to her, at least with his ears and eyes. She followed his eyes to the warrior as she laughed. Her eyes grew dark and tried to pout that she was cold. If I can get this fool to put his arms around me and that bitch turns to see us, won't she be in for a surprise…she won't be laughing for long!
As continued to whine and whimper to him, he didn't hear her. Her eyes flamed as she forced his body to turn to her and kiss her.
Miroku felt his body betray him. At first he was dreamily thinking about Sango's warm body until he was turned and the next thing he knew, his lips were against Yuwakusha's cold ones. He heard a small gasp and he tried to turn to see who it was. His violet eyes widened as he gaze into Sango's warm chestnut eyes.
Sango was chatting with Shippou gleefully, without thinking about Miroku. But every time they tried to talk, they would hear that screeching and whimpering of the demoness. Sango had about enough of her aching ears, so she stopped and turned to see the two in a lip lock kiss. Her heart about stopped right then and there. Her tears begged and trying to force their way out of her eyes.
Miroku looked at the demoness who seemed to be smirking and taking this to enjoyment as he looked into her deep blue eyes that stared at Sango. He just had enough with this onna. Taking her shoulders, he shoved her off him, surprising her as she fell to the ground.
Yuwakusha looked up at Miroku with an angry death glare.
"Miroku-koiishi onegai, help me up." she pouted her lips.
Miroku felt the pull again and was ready; he used his strength and walked away from her. Ryu raised his eyebrows at the steaming demoness as she jumped up.
"Miroku-koi! Come here now!" she hissed.
Miroku walked to Sango and stood next to her. She glared angrily at him and edged away only to get trapped by his arms wrapping around her. Kirara and Shippou had jumped down and stared carefully at the scene before them.
Sango began to struggle, "Get off Hoshi! You're koi is calling you!" she hissed.
Miroku turned to Sango to face him. Her deeply hurt eyes that hid behind her angry glare looked into his soft violet eyes.
"Iie…" he whispered, startling Sango and the rest, "She isn't my koi Sango…I never loved her, nor care for her…for some reason my body was controlled by her…" he explained.
Sango turned her head away from him, her eyes glistening with tears. She seemed to be not convinced. Miroku's eyes hardened and took the back of her head with his hand and forcefully turned her to look into his eyes.
"Listen to me! I don't love her Sango, I never did! If I have anyone to love…it would be you Sango! I love you!"
Sango's eyes widened in surprised. Miroku could see her still having her doubts, so taking the risk, he pushed his lips and against hers for a passionate kiss.
Ryu raised his eyebrows in surprise as folded his hands behind him and he kicked Shippou in the head. Shippou growled at Ryu as he jumped up from the ground and waved his little paw at him.
"What did you do that for?"
Ryu rolled his eyes, "Kit, You're too young for this."
Ryu pushed Shippou's face in the ground with his shoe and held his foot there as Shippou struggled around trying to get out of his hold. Ryu looked back at Yuwakusha to see her in shock.
"No one…no one…has ever…broken my spell…" she whispered as she bowed her head in shame.
Ryu grinned down at her, "First thing for everything, ne huh? Yuwakusha."
Miroku pulled away from Sango to breathe. She was flushed from being out of breath. The two stared at each other for a long while.
"Is it true?" she whispered closing her eyes, thinking this is a dream.
Miroku smiled as she moved her bangs away from her face, "Hai, I've always loved you Sango."
Sango smiled as she opened her mouth to respond back only to be interrupted by a long explosion in the distance. The gang stopped what they were doing and looked up north, miles from them. Miroku and Sango saw the faint of black rising from the forest.
Yuwakusha stood up next to Ryu with a serious face. Naraku-sama… both of them thought..
"I sense a great jaki coming from there." Miroku's eyes hardened.
Sango nodded, as Miroku turned to her.
"I bet you anything that's Naraku….and by the looks of it, Inuyasha might be battling him now, and we must hurry."
"Hai…Kirara!" she turned to her neko companion.
Kirara transformed and was ready to get going. Yuwakusha got up on Kirara's back, narrowing her eyes on the neko youkai as it snarled at her. Miroku was about to start running up ahead, when Sango pulled his robes. He turned to her to see her blushing lightly.
"Miroku…I-I…."
Miroku smiled as he placed his finger on lip to silence her, "Shhh…I know…I know" he smiled.
Sango blushed and nodded as she boarded Kirara, while Miroku and Ryu started running, with Shippou clinging to Miroku now.
Just as soon as they started, they stopped dead in their tracks when a blur rushed by, leaving its dust in their wake. Sango and Miroku looked at each other confirming who the blur was. It was then they called out to their youkai friend.
XOXOXO
Sniffing the air he snarled. The teme is close…
He had been resting up north with his pack, taking a break on their search for Naraku. When the scent reached his nose of the teme not to far from him, he rounded up his pack and was out in a flash. His long black hair flying behind him as he smelled the scent of fresh sakura and vanilla, he knew Kagome had to be there, which increased his speed further. The calls of his companions long gone as the scenery around him came in a blur. His eyes narrowed as the thought of the mutt putting his beloved mate in danger. He heard the explosion and knew it wasn't long before he got his revenge for his brethren for it. Just up a head he zoomed past a group of people, who he heard them calling out his name.
He put his feet into halt, as they dug into the ground to stop him. He turned and his deep blue eyes came to see Inuyasha's group along with two new youkais.
He waited for them to catch up to him before asking.
"Where's Inu-no-baka and Kagome?"
Sango hopped off of Kirara and answered. "They should be battling Naraku right now."
He nodded and was about to head off when new questions emerged. "Why are they separated for you guys, and who are they?" he pointed to the two youkais, one demoness the other looking like a ningen.
Miroku placed a hand on his shoulder and sighed. "It's a long story, we'll fill you in as we go, might as well join us Kouga."
Kouga thought for a minute. He could get there sooner than they could, with them they would just be slowing him down. But with them, he'd get some answers to his questions, so he nodded. They were then off and headed north.
XOXOXO
Sleeping soundly, she sighed of the silence around her. It was quiet…too quiet. She jumped up and looked around her. Extending her senses she had then smelt death and decay. She growled as she jumped down from her perched to see a beautiful woman. She quirked an eyebrow at the onna as she had an arrow notched and ready to be shot at her. From what she could sense, she was a miko.
Sighing, she crossed her arms and tiredly asked.
"What do you want?"
The miko stared at her for a long while before putting down her weapon, finding the hanyou harmless. She then placed her arrow back in her quiver and placed her bow on shoulder.
"I was just passing by…excuse my intrusion."
Looking around her, she cleared her throat, "In a forest? It's dangerous."
The miko nodded and tilted her head to show her arrows. She sighed as she nodded to the miko and jumped up in the tree, back in her resting position.
"If you're looking for some baboon looking dude and a hanyou in a red haori…you missed them about 8 hour's ago." she closed her eyes.
The miko stopped where she was walking and looked back at the onna up in the tree.
"How do you know I'm looking for them?" she asked curiously.
Opening an eye to look down at the miko, she smirked, "Honey, I've seen crying kids, fighting saru and hanyou, and all that weird crap all in this forest. A dead one such as you isn't different from all of them, so I was just assuming."
Nodding her head, the miko took a step forward, before stopping again.
"They went north." she replied as if reading her mind.
The miko nodded to her, "Arigato."
The miko walked up until serpent like spirits came to her. Her glowing shinidamachuu wrapped around her and carried her off where their master requested.
Watching her disappear, the hanyou shuddered at the miko.
"Now there's something you don't see everyday."
She sighed as she picked up a light sheath beside her. She ran her claws up the old hilt of the sheathed katana and pondered as she sat back. She closed her eyes as she recalled 8 hours ago.
Flashback
She just return little Rin back with her servant and was about to drift off to sleep when she heard yelling and a fight going on. She hid back and watched a hanyou who looked to be in the verge of transforming, and a person in a baboon costume fighting. She tilted her head to the side to get a better look at the hanyou and confirmed her thoughts. He did look good even if he look a bit mad right now.
She watched as the hanyou swing his big katana, launching a strong attack that looked very impressive to her. She silent rooted for him, thinking he was gonna win, until of course, the words the saru kept saying got to his head, eventfully making him loose to the monkey. She groaned and rubbed her head with her hand. A hanyou, her type, just lost to a monkey…how insulting. She sighed and wanted to see what happened further, if it weren't for the miasma that blocked her entertainment.
She pouted and waited for it to clear up. She listened carefully of what was going on. She heard another attack launched by the hanyou, and then trees breaking. Her eyes lightened up thinking the hanyou won, until she heard him moan and the saru talking like he was all well. She then heard moaning and she nearly lost her lunch if they were doing what she was thinking in there. But listening further, it sounded an onna and another male. The hanyou and saru seemed to be discussing it.
The moaning stopped and the miasma wore off. She jumped up from her seat and saw the saru leaving, along with a little girl where she had no idea where she came from, but knew she must work for the monkey. Her eyes widened and hoped that saru didn't make that girl make all those noise.
She turned back to the hanyou to see him no longer holding his katana and he looked dangerous now. She watched another youkai come by, whom by the looks of it, worked for the saru as well. She watched him transform things and then finally turned himself into Sesshomaru. Her eyes widened and gasp at the look alike. If she didn't see it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed it. She scoffed, thinking he wouldn't believe that crap; after all he just turned into him right before his eyes. But then again, she was proven wrong when Sesshomaru-look-a-like ran off, followed by the hanyou. She groaned and hit her head against the tree.
"Why must the kawaii ones be so stupid?"
Her mind then wondered back to the sword. She looked around for anymore youkai, before jumping out of her hiding place and looking for it. It took 30 minutes but she found it under some tree debris. She sighed as she picked up the sword and dully looked at it.
"Is this it? It looks so…old…compare to the one he was using." she rolled her eyes and found the scabbard to the katana. Sheathing the sword she wondered out loud, "How did he make such a big sword in battle, but then look so old and rust when not?"
Shrugging her shoulders, she decided to hold on to it, until he came back for it…whenever that was.
Resting her back on her tree, she then fell asleep.
End
Bore out of her system she decided, that since she had nothing to do and she didn't want to carry around some old, rusted sword that's useless for her, to deliver it herself. Sighing, she jumped up and headed north.
"Serina, old girl…what are you getting yourself into?" she muttered to herself.
XOXOXO
A/N: Back to the fight! WEEE!
Inuyasha carried Kagome in one hand and fought the youkai Sesshomaru with the other. Sesshomaru growled and tried to attack Inuyasha without hurting Kagome in the process, which was hard. Considering he was 10 times bigger than Inuyasha and he could squash him anytime he wants, but if he did, then he kills Kagome with him as well. He tried to swap him with his paw so he could knock him, loosening his grip on Kagome, so he could retrieve her. But of course, being big has a bad advantage against someone that's quick jumping away from his attacks.
Sesshomaru growled frustrated and lifted his paw as he let out his dokkasu around the area, killing the remaining trees and plants around, making it look like a graveyard. Inuyasha slowed down a bit, but kept his hold on Kagome tight.
Sesshomaru snarled and whipped Inuyasha with his majestic tail, down to the ground. He managed to get him hit and down to the ground, only to take Kagome as well. So, when she wakes up, she was gonna wake up with a very sore body.
Inuyasha had then flipped them over so; he took the fall, with Kagome on top. When he hit the ground, his grip on her loosened and she rolled away from him. Sesshomaru saw this and used his tail to swoop Kagome up, given the opportunity. He then nuzzled her; relieved she was alright before placing her on his back. His soft face then turned vicious when he saw Inuyasha getting up. He snarled and prepared to end the sorry for a hanyou's life until a boomerang came by and stopped him in his tracks.
Sesshomaru turned his head and saw the taijiya riding the two-tailed neko from the sky. He looked down and saw the little specks of the rest of the tachi, along with the two youkai that worked for Naraku and the wolf prince, Kouga. He snarled at them as they stood in front of their friend to protect him, with the look of determination to keep him away and protect him to the death, evident in their eyes. He narrowed his eyes and watched as the hanyou snarled as he tried to stand up, his claws twitching at the group. When he stood, the group distracted of Sesshomaru, he pounced for the attack.
Sesshomaru then swoop the ningen and youkai onto his tail way from the dangerous youkai. Their eyes widened at the fact Inuyasha wasn't his regular or demon self, and the fact Sesshomaru actually saved their lives.
Inuyasha tried to kill those in his way of his prize, seeking for the blood of all and the love of his. Seeing the new people in front of him, he believed they were another obstacle to his prize.
The gang tried to get out of Sesshomaru's grip to help the hanyou get to his regular self, but Sesshomaru tightened his hold, and turned his head to snarl at the group behind to stop them, which worked. They froze where they were and watched as Inuyasha continued to attack Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru growled and threw his paw as Inuyasha came near. His attack worked as the hanyou fell to the side and hit the ground. He tried to stand, but ended up falling to the ground once more. Sesshomaru watched the motionless hanyou for any movement, before returning to his humanoid. He unwrapped his tail around the group and had them falling to the ground, with a thump. He floated down gracefully with Kagome cradled in his arms.
He felt the heated glares being directed at him, but paid no attention to them as he stared at the hanyou, shaking.
"What's wrong with him?"
Sesshomaru didn't turn to the hoshi and taijiya as they came to stand next to him. Worried and concern on their face for the hanyou was shown.
He looked down to Kagome who was still knocked out, sleeping peacefully in his arms. He sighed and looked back up.
"Sesshomaru…what happened? Usually when Inuyasha transforms into his youkai form, he-"
"He has a shard within him" he cut to the point.
"The mutt has what!" Kouga was observing the battle ground, before he overheard that the mutt has actually been controlled by a corrupted shard.
Sesshomaru scowled as he answered, "This Sesshomaru will not repeat, it is what as said."
"How?" they all exclaimed.
Sesshomaru's eye twitched in annoyance and sighed dejectedly, "This Sesshomaru has no idea what has happened to the hanyou, before he came. All I know is, right after I faced Naraku, he escaped, Inuyasha and that brother of that youkai over there…" he nudged his head to Ryu, where the gang turned to Ryu in shock. "..arrived."
Sango hesitantly walked over to Ryu as her face shown complete shock that someone she trusted, would be a spy to such a lowlife hanyou. Miroku's eyes hardened at the so called Ryu and felt his pride grow of his correction of the spy. He watched carefully as Ryu glared coldly at Sesshomaru, not admitting it nor denying it.
Sango reached out to touch Ryu's face and whispered, "Is it true? ….Ryu? …whoever you are…"
Ryu turned his head to reject her touch. Sango stepped back, feeling her eyes tear up and her anger grow.
"I trusted you." she hissed as she fisted her hands at her side.
Miroku walked over to Sango and placed a hand on her shoulder as she shook. He glared at Ryu, promising to have the honor of killing him, for hurting his Sango.
Sesshomaru watched all this in boredom. How the ningen, trust the youkai was beyond him. He then caught Ryu glaring at him once more. He quirked an eyebrow at him as he sent a death glare for his intrusion. Sesshomaru shrugged it off and continued his story.
"As I was saying…the incarnate decided that since he didn't want to tell I, the whereabouts of the hanyou was, he decided for an early death, which I gladly done for him." He smirked as Ryu's eyes widened and the anger and revenge emerged. "Well…that was after he decided to be foolish and place the tainted shard within the hanyou."
Gasps were heard around him, while as Ryu's chestnut eyes grew dark. His cover was blown, his aniki was dead, and it was all because of Sesshomaru. Reveling his black mirror before him and the glow of it erased the image of Ryu slowly vanished, showing his true shadow self. He snarled at Sesshomaru.
"I will avenge Genkaku…and I WILL kill you, Sesshomaru." Sakkaku snarled before his mirror glowed black and vanished along with him.
Sesshomaru then turned to the seductress as she stood there, backing away from the tachi. He smirked as he asked.
"Going somewhere wench?" he watched in enjoyment as she froze on the spot, as eyes were turned to her, "You reek that hanyou…you must be a reliever for him, ne?"
Yuwakusha snarled as her silver blue eyes turned to him. She concentrated as she tried to get Sesshomaru into her spell. She was gonna make him pay for those words. But his aura proved to be stronger and larger than hers so it drained most of her powers out of her. Sesshomaru felt the wench trying to control his body, but he just stood there as she grew wearily quickly.
"Are you done? A lesser wench like you couldn't control a cold" he smirked.
Yuwakusha panted slightly as she then jumped away from an incoming boomerang. She turned to the taijiya who was fuming in anger.
"You bitch! You whore!" she yelled as the boomerang came back and she threw it again.
Yuwakusha narrowed her eyes on Sango.
"Sakkuku you ass! Get me out of here!" she muttered angrily.
She then turned from Sango to Miroku and grinned seductively at him.
"Miroku-koi…if you ever get tired of that bitch…let me know." she gave wink to him before grimly snapping at Sango and licking her lips, "You know…for a ningen, he does taste delicious."
That was the last straw. Sango furiously ran out toward her and threw her weapon at the demoness, prepared to kill her with all her strength. A black void then emerged behind Yuwakusha and before the boomerang could strike, she jumped into the hole and was gone before their eyes. Sango clenched her fist tightly as she caught her weapon in the other; she swore when she met with her again, she wouldn't get away.
She then turned to the gang who was now eyes on Inuyasha as he stood once more. Apparently he had awoken while they were distracted with Naraku's spies. He snarled like a bull and growled like a hungry animal that hadn't eaten in days.
"How do we stop him?" Sango asked worriedly, anger gone for the moment.
Inuyasha ran forward once more after Sesshomaru, only to be thrown back once more, but not because of Sesshomaru. Inuyasha jumped back up to see Kouga standing in front of Sesshomaru with his arms crossed.
"I can deal with the hanyou on my own ookami." Sesshomaru said in his monotone voice.
Kouga laughed as he glanced back at him over his shoulder, "Not with Kagome in your arms you won't, and I won't take that risk of having her hurt any further."
Inuyasha didn't mind the new opponent he faced, as long as he had his woman. He charged forward and threw punches at Kouga, who dodged them with his speed. Inuyasha hissed as he bent down and waited for Kouga to come at him. When he did, Inuyasha acted to give a low punch, but at the same gave a low kick to his legs, bringing him down. Kouga fell back and Inuyasha hovered over him snarling. Kouga growled and brought his legs to kick Inuyasha to the stomach as he jumped up to stand once more.
Inuyasha sped away quickly, making him seem to have disappeared. Kouga growled and looked around him.
"Where did that mutt-"
Kouga was punched in the back, pushing him forward. Kouga turned to face Inuyasha, only to see nothing.
"What the hell-"
Inuyasha appeared once more behind Kouga and this time slashed his back and then kicked him to the ground. Kouga brought his head up to see Inuyasha's feet, he looked up and scowled at the hanyou as he crossed his arms before him, smirking down at him. Kouga growled louder as he brought his fist to wipe away the dirt from his mouth.
"You fucking ass…"
Sesshomaru mentally praised the hanyou for his techniques against the ookami. Even without Tessaiga, he was stronger.
Sango had just about enough as Inuyasha kicked Kouga's head into the dirt. She threw her boomerang at Inuyasha, only to have it knocked away and off coarse to be brought back to her. Inuyasha turned to her and snarled at her intrusion. He stepped on the ookami's head before charging at her. Sango unsheathed her katana ready to strike, when Miroku stood in front of her with his staff in hand.
"Inuyasha, if you can hear me, you have to fight this thing! I don't want to fight you." He said as he blocked Inuyasha's attack with his staff.
Sesshomaru scoffed, "The hanyou has lost it, if the shard isn't taken out, then of course he can not hear you, you fool."
Miroku blocked Inuyasha's attacks with some help from Sango as they struggled to keep their selves alive and to come up with a way to help Inuyasha without hurting him. Inuyasha managed to knock Miroku's staff away and tossed Miroku against Sango, causing them both to fall back unto to each other. Sango and Miroku looked up at Inuyasha as he grinned as his claw flinched with anticipation. Miroku narrowed his eyes into Inuyasha's black void ones before looking over his shoulder to see Kouga growl and tried to tackle him to the ground. Inuyasha sensed this and moved away, so Kouga fell beside the ningen.
"Chikusho" he muttered.
Inuyasha prepared to kill the 3, until he sniffed the blue electric energy coming from his left and jumped back up and out of the way of the attack. He snarled in mid-air at Sesshomaru who had an arm around Kagome and his other with Toukijin.
Sesshomaru grew tired of the ningen and the ookami's weak strength. If they didn't stop him, they might as well get killed, the fools. Sesshomaru retrieved his katana when Inuyasha was distracted and launched his Dragon Strike.
Miroku and Sango then angrily shouted at Sesshomaru when they saw it was him who attacked.
"Don't kill him Sesshomaru! It isn't him that's doing this!"
Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes on the ningen before rushing forward to them and then dropping Kagome into their laps. He then disappeared once more to be facing Inuyasha.
"I don't care." was all he said before attacking.
Inuyasha jumped away quickly before any Sesshomaru's attacks could hit him, with speed faster than Kouga's. Sesshomaru snarled at him as he combined his attacks, launching his Dragon Strike then using his whip to grab hold of Inuyasha and keep him at bay.
Sango held Kagome close to her as she watched the fight. She knew someone had to stop Inuyasha, but he could get killed in doing so. She looked down to Kagome's pale face and pushed the bangs away from her face, silently praying that she be okay and that she would wake up to stop this mess.
Inuyasha watched as the green poison wrapped around his chest and as the poison started to burn him. He then looked up to the blue electric that surged toward him. His eyes widened and struggled to get freed. He closed his eyes and figured this was the end of him.
Right before the attack could strike, an arrow surrounded in pink energy, countered the attack and stopped it before it could hit.
Sesshomaru expected to see the hanyou dead seeing as that there wasn't anyway he could avoid it with him bounded. His eyes slanted into slits when he saw his attack faded and the hanyou remained intact and standing. His eyes switched to the miko who walked over to them with her bow and arrows in hand.
"You fool." he hissed.
Kikyo came in time to watch the death of Inuyasha, but a part of her couldn't let that happen. Notching an arrow, she stopped the attack and saw the corrupted Inuyasha bounded to Sesshomaru's whip as it hissed against Inuyasha's skin. She gracefully went over to Inuyasha and saw the tainted shard in his forehead. She narrowed her eyes at it and tried to reach for it.
Inuyasha thought of this as offensive so he did what his body thought was rational and took his claws that pierced into Kikyo's stomach. Kikyo gasped, her eyes wide as she fell to the ground, her hand still in mid-air and Inuyasha's claw still inside.
Everyone gasped, with the exception of Sesshomaru who angrily glared at the miko for stopping his attack.
Sesshomaru heard shuffling around, followed by a groan, and the taijiya gasping afterwards. He turned to see in relief that Kagome was okay. She held her head, her eyes still closed and groaned, as she muttered absently.
"Stupid Inuyasha…osuwari."
All eyes were turned to the yelp as the beads glowed and pulled Inuyasha down with it. An Inuyasha figure was molded into the ground.
"Kagome-chan! You're okay!" Sango hugged Kagome to her stomach.
Sesshomaru released the hanyou from his whip and gracefully walked to the molded figure. He kicked Inuyasha with his foot, to see if he was conscious. He saw his otouto's pale blooded face and the still visible jagged stripes on his cheeks, showing he was not his fully self. He narrowed his eyes and saw the hanyou breathing slowly, indicating he was still alive, yet out cold. He followed his arm to the miko who removed the hanyou's claw from her body and tried to stand up.
"You shouldn't have interfered."
Kikyo held her stomach with one hand as her other hand held her long bow to help her stand. Her breathing was uneven as her shinidamachuu came and dropped glowing souls to her, healing her wound. When the wound was fully closed, she sighed closing her eyes as she then answered.
"I had to do something."
"And you risk the remaining life you have on a hanyou that does not care for you?"
Kikyo chuckled as she hooked the bow on her shoulder, "Life? …Sesshomaru-sama…I am yet a miko with half a soul that doesn't belong to me any longer, I have fooled fate, to take the appearance of clay…I hardly call that a remaining life. As for Inuyasha…he may care for my reincarnate, yet I will still have a part for him in me, dead or alive.
Kikyo opened her dark brown irises to look down at Inuyasha, then up to look at the ningen and youkai that stood around her reincarnate. They all embraced her warmly and spoke with concern. Kikyo closed her eyes once more and made a weary smile as she turned away from Sesshomaru.
"How I envy her…I guess that's all I am good for…hate, anger, envy…while as she is pure, caring, and loved. Take care of her Sesshomaru…I'm sure you don't want her to end up like me."
Sesshomaru glared at the miko and nodded his head once. Kikyo walked away with her shinidamachuu hovering around her as she went. He watched her disappear from sight and shook his head in disgust. Sesshomaru then felt a small hand on his arm. Turning his head slightly, he came to see Kagome's sweet face.
"Hey…you okay?" she whispered.
Kagome had woken up with the sound of her concern friends. She had been dreaming about fighting Naraku in the final battle, and then getting into an argument with Inuyasha in the middle of the fight. Leading her to get annoyed and mumbled for him to sit. After that, she just heard her friends calling out to her. She opened her eyes to see nothing but blurry surroundings, until she blinked the dark spots away until it became clear. She then noticed that she was surrounded by her friends, with her lying on Sango's lap, Miroku to her left, Shippou and Kirara to her right, and Kouga in front of her. She smiled weakly and assured them that she was fine and tried to stand up, with the help of Sango. It was then when Kouga and the rest gave her some space, to recognize the forest was a dead battle field. Dead trees and uprooted roots that once belong to the trees and plants. The dirt was colored in blood and by the looks of it Sesshomaru's poison, from the melted ground. The place made it look so gloomy and abandoned, like the end of a war or battle. She then looked around her and realized her youkai wasn't with her. She searched and found him, standing next to a knocked out hanyou, watching the older miko depart.
Kagome nodded to Sango that she could handle herself, before leaving the group and stood next to the taiyoukai.
She looked down to Inuyasha where she could see he and Sesshomaru had a bloody battle seeing as Inuyasha was still youkai with himself bathed in blood and wounds, and Sesshomaru with a few scratches, and the most major injury of all was the 5 gashes on his chiseled perfect chest.
Sesshomaru looked down to Kagome to see her wincing at the sight of his gash on his chest. His eyes softened as he took his hand and lifted her chin to have her look into his golden orbs.
"I'm fine…it's you I should be asking that question."
Kagome smiled weakly as a tear fell from her eyes. "Gomen ne…" she muttered.
Sesshomaru wiped her tear leaned his head on hers as he whispered, "For what?"
Kagome sniffled, "For being so weak…you wouldn't have gotten hurt."
Sesshomaru chuckled lightly, causing Kagome to back away and out of his grasp.
"You're not weak; I was careless to misjudge Inuyasha…leading me to give an opening for him to attack me."
Kagome looked down to the ground, having her bangs cover her eyes, "Iie…he wouldn't have come if-"
Sesshomaru's eyes hardened as he roughly grabbed Kagome's chin to look up at him once more, "Silence! Do not blame this on yourself, Kagome." Sesshomaru looked to the glossy eyes of his love, "The hanyou's lack of control from the tainted shard increased his power and I under estimated him! You are not to be blamed of that!"
Kagome's eyes returned back to its natural blue hue as the information hit her. She turned her attention from Sesshomaru to Inuyasha. She broke his grasp by turning her head away and walked around him as she bent down and looked for the tainted shard. She located the shard's black glow on his forehead and reached to get it. Only to stop to realize she couldn't get the shard, without piercing Inuyasha's skin. She looked around her and found the arrow; Kikyo had used to stop Sesshomaru's attack. Taking the arrow's tip, she carefully pierced it into the skin and out popped the tainted shard. Kagome held the shard and watched the jewel piece turn back pink. She connected it with the half jewel she had around her neck, before turning to see Inuyasha's skin return back to pale instead of ghostly white. Kagome furrowed her brows together in wonder. Sesshomaru immediately noticed this and asked.
"Problem?"
"Yea…he's still in his youkai form…he should've turned back."
"Perhaps, it's because he does not wield Tessaiga in his possession?"
Kagome around for the sword on him then looked up to Sesshomaru, "Did he have it during battle?"
Sesshomaru crossed his arms over his bear chest, "Shortly after you passed out, Naraku had departed and his incarnation and Inuyasha arrived at this state…I believe Naraku had faced off with him and he somehow was torn apart from it."
Kagome's eyes widened. "Then…Tessaiga is out there for anyone to take!"
Kagome jumped up and was about to explain this to the group so they could go out to search for the sword before Inuyasha awakened, but stopped where she stood when she felt a demonic aura enter the field. She then turned to Sesshomaru, to see him holding up Toukijin.
"Where are you hanyou?"
Hanyou?...He can't mean Naraku…Kagome looked out to see indeed a hanyou walking casually like strolling through a park on a normal day. Watching further, she found out the hanyou revealed it to be actually a she. Her golden hair swayed back and forth behind her kimono as she walked, with one hand swaying at her side, and the other holding up a sheathed katana. Her face bored, as her golden eyes stayed on the hanyou on the ground. When she was feet from them, she stood where she had stopped as the gang joined around them to see the new visitor.
"Another Naraku lackey?" Kouga sneered at the hanyou.
The hanyou raised an eyebrow at the ookami as she scoffed, "I ain't anyone's lackey fleabag, now if you just stop making assumptions, shut your trap and let me do what I came here to do, you wouldn't be thinking like that, now would you?"
Snickers were heard around Kouga as he growled at the hanyou.
"Wench, unlike you I am Kouga, the leader of the eastern wolf tribe! A FULL youkai and unless you want to be scrap like this mutt, I suggest you shut your trap!"
The hanyou raised a golden eyebrow in amusement, "Hmm…well…Kouga-no-baka…Did you do that?" She stared at him as she smirked. "If you did defeat a corrupted hanyou, I'd be more cautious and respectful to you… but seeing as Sesshomaru-sama did that to the hanyou and not you, I have no respect for a whelp the likes of you..."
Kouga watched as the hanyou grin victoriously at him as the winner of their argument and lost his patience with the onna. He snarled and lounged an attack at the female hanyou. The hanyou sighed as she tossed the sword over to where Inuyasha laid and jumped in the air as Kouga charged at her. She back flipped in the air to get behind Kouga. And before she hit the ground she pivoted and kicked Kouga in the back, knocking him to the ground.
Sesshomaru had long ago, placed down his sword, as he amusingly watched the onna beat the sense into the ookami. His eyes strayed to the sword near his otouto to see it was Tessaiga. The wench brought it back…why? Returning his eyes to the fight, he watched the ookami prince eat dirt.
Kouga jumped back up give the girl a few punches to the face, only to be dodged as she lifted her hand and yawned into it, as she kept moving her head left to right, evading the punches. When he gave a low punch, she jumped into the air once more and bounced on his head before jumping back to the ground in front of him.
"Done?"
Kouga growled, "I'm just getting started wench!"
He then tried kicking her to the ground, only to have her jump once more and land on his leg that was in midair. She held her hands behind her as she leaned forward and tilted her head.
"And you call yourself a leader, tsk tsk tsk." She grinned as he growled and lifted his weight into his next punch.
The hanyou rolled her eyes as she caught the punch with the palm in her hand, surprising Kouga. Kouga growled and tried to use his other hand only to get that caught by her other hand. He then grinned, with her hands full, that she was at a disadvantage. But the hanyou grinned as she leaned and gave a peck to Kouga's forehead before leaning back. Kouga blinked at her confused and before he knew it, her leg came in a full swing and knocked him in the stomach and away from her.
The hanyou twirled and laid in a grace as Kouga landed on the ground by Inuyasha, groaning. She then placed her left hand behind her and her right on her stomach as she gave a small bow.
She then stood up and grinned at Kouga who was sitting up and wiping the blood off the corner of his mouth.
"What a fun work out!" she giggled, "Arigato Kouga-san!"
The group gawked at her impressed, with the exception of Kouga and Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru just gazed down at Kouga smirking.
"Two hanyou in one day…pity." Sesshomaru turned away from Kouga's pissed gaze as he looked up to the girl.
Kagome smiled at the girl as she jumped from where stood over to Kagome. She then bent down on her knees to the hanyou who was still out, but the youkai features faded away. She pouted slightly and poked the hanyou.
"Aww…is he gonna be okay?"
Kagome smiled as she bent down to her height as well, "He'll be fine with a couple days of rest…"
The hanyou smiled and turned to Kagome. She tilted her head and slapped her head for her forgetfulness.
"Gomen ne! Introductions!" she grinned. "I'm Serina!"
Kagome smiled, "Well Serina, I'm Kagome, that's Sango, Miroku, Shippou…" she said pointing to them as she said their name. "That's Inuyasha unconscious…and you know Kouga and Sesshomaru." She smiled as she stood up and stood in front of Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes on Serina and nodded as he wrapped his arms around Kagome.
The hanyou smirked, "So this is the infamous Kagome…Rin has told me about you…."
Kagome smiled and tilted her head, "Really? …I haven't heard about you, sorry."
The hanyou waved her hand, "I met her last night and-"
Just as everything was looking up for the gang, Kagome's body reacted to the feeling tingling in her body, making her fall back against Sesshomaru. Pain and soreness stroke throughout her body as if a thunderbolt had just came out of nowhere and hit her straight in the head. Sesshomaru still had his arms around her, so he caught her easily.
"Kagome!" they all exclaimed.
Kagome groaned lightly as she hesitantly stood up with the help of Sesshomaru. With her arm still around Sesshomaru's waist and the other hand to her head to hold it up, she looked down at Inuyasha and glared at his health. She then looked around her and looked up to her friends who were waiting for her to speak up. Panting, she then said.
"This is it…the day has come…" she shuddered at the feeling, "The shards…Naraku is finally calling us out."
