chp 17
Naraku had called the meeting to its final phase. Tonight...yes tonight would be their greatest victory. Tonight he would rise over all these people who laughed at him, who tried to outwit him. These fools who dared to defy him, the one who betrayed him, all of them would feel his wrath. They would kneel to his power, sucome to his desires...
Power was good...
He would reign from this city...
He had only one tiny thorn to take care of beforehand.
"Kyokotsu..."
The huge man stomped into the room. His boulbous eyes popping out of the sockets, his sharp teeth beared liks fangs. Naraku smiled...
"Kill the wretch Silver Scar. He'll find you, if you leak this scent."
Naraku held up a bottle of his own blood. Kyokostu smiled maliciously...
"Yes..."
The giant of a man stumbled out of the room, the floor beneath him nearly cracking form his emormous size. He grinned, his bloodshot eyes staring in a way as if he was about to take a bite out of you. Midori waited for him at the end of the hallway, her hair in pigtails again. She wore a pink kimono with blue and gold hues, her green eyes shinning brightly. She nodded, and put him into a cocoon of energy, sending him o to his destination...
Your first challenge...are you truely ready?
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Inuyasha held Kagome, their hair tangling in the wind. Her soft skin pressed against his cheek, he gently grazed up and down. She felt his chest suddenly spasm, and saw his nostils flare. He was sniffing...
"Kagome I have to go, get inside and don't come out no matter what."
"But Inuyasha..."
"Do as I say, unerstand?"
She stood silent, her lips pressed together tightly. She sighed out, nodding her head reluctantly.
"Please stay safe..."
He quickly kissed her lips, and jumped out the window. He landed a milisecond later, and soared to the next building. He ripped off his clothes as he ran, exposing his suit. He quickly dipped his fingers in black paint, and quickly decorated his eyes. His untied the Tetsusaiga from his back, and placed it at his side.
Shit SHIT! Naraku's out of hiding...
He cursed to himself, and followed the scent.
Blood...either a good or a bad sign...
He raced towards the source of the scent, quickly gliding over the rooftops, speeding as as his legs would take him. His hand on his Tetsusaiga in case of any surprises. He smelt the scent coming down from the alley coming up next. He jumped down, gripping the ground with his hand. A shiver of anger ran down his spine as he realized this wasn't Naraku...
What is this scent? Human blood, and burned flesh...
He unsheathed the Tetsusaiga, his eyes glowing in the dark shadows of the alley. His eyes flickered from left to right, trying to sense anything in the shadows.
"Kyokotsu squash you!"
Two giant fists came slamming down, shattering the concrete beneath them. Inuyasha jumped up, just out of reach. He jumped off the knuckles, slamming the Tetsusaiga down on Kyokotsu's arm. But Kyokotsu pushed him back with his elbow, and sent Inuyasha back into a wall. Kyokotsu growled and stared at the wound.
" Yea take that you bastard..."
Inuyasha held up his Tetsusaiga, trying to find a path for the Wind Scar...
But he could only see his aura, not this Kyokotsu's aura...
What is this? Why can't I form the Wind Scar...
He stared stupidly at the sword, then dodged another set of fists. He moved his lean body from left to right, dodging a shower of fists. He grimaced, shards of cement piercing his skin. He jumped up and flipped around, and slashed the Tetsusaiga down, trying to cut off his arm.
But Kyokotsu moved it just in time, and just his other arm to punch Inuyasha through a wall. Inuyasha felt a numbing pain spread through his back. He felt himself become momentarily stunned, until a huge fist came ramming into his gut. He felt something spew from his mouth.
He dared to give his gut a quick glance...
He was impaled with two metal rods...
He felt his vison blur, and his life began to slip away. Hie felt his pulse begin to weaken.. God was this the end... Beaten by the likes of him...
He saw another fist aim striaght for his gut. This time he would surely smash his body organs and he would die instantly. He tried in one last effort to save himself. He lifted the Tetsusaiga at an angle so that is Kyokotsu hit it, it would slice him in half. He held it as best her could, praying that he would be spared from death. He needed to live...
"I refused to die!"
He thrusted the sword out and split the man in half. His body shook, and disinagrated into dust...
Inuyasha gasped, and threw up more blood. He pushed himself off the metal rods, looking at the gapes inside him. He grit his teeth and fell to the ground. He propped himself up on one arm, struggling to stand. He hobbled to his feet, and slowly walked away. He used all his remaining strength to jump to the top of a nearby building, and collasped on the cement...
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
He felt the sunlight prick at his skin, his body crusted with dried blood. He turned onto his back, feeling his stomach. The puncture wounds were gone. He nodded to himself, letting his arm fall back onto the concrete. He took in a deep breath, and got up, letting the blood rush to his head.
"God, what time is it..."
He placed a hand to his head, and look down at the sidewalk. Thousands of people carved the streets, it had to be around noon or so. He sighed and layed back on the cool cement.
You need to get up and tell Kagome you're ok...
But he lazily dozed off, trying to regain his strength...
Wait Kagome will have food...food is energy.
He stood up, and slowly jumped over to Kagome's building. He kinda tumbled through her window, falling to the ground instead of to his feet. He heard a gasp, and feet runnign towards him.
"INUYASHA!"
She dropped to the floor and wrapped her arms around him. He couldn't breathe...
"Ka..GO...me..."
"Where were you! I was worried sick about you..."
"I was recovering from being impaled with a metal rod..."
"Not again..."
"Its ok, I get stronger everytime it happens. Soon it won't even make me flinch..."
He kinda went loopy after that, falling onto Kagome's lap. She sighed, and stroked his hair.
"You must be thristy..."
"And hungry..."
"Come on, lets get you rested up..."
"Kagome, whats going on? I feel something's different with you."
She gave him a startled look, and glanced away...
"Nothing...come on I've got some Marie Callender's pot pies in the freezer, you can have those."
"Please don't lie to me..."
"Of course I'm not, I'll go heat them up now..."
He looked at her, and sighed...
Something was wrong, he could sense it...question was...what?
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"WHAT?"
"He killed Ryokotsu, singled handedly..."
Midori kneeled before her master, the burden of telling him the bad news had been unanimously given to her.
"How could I let this happen, why didn't I kill him sooner..."
"Master Naraku, please...Mukotsu will be able to stop him. With his poisons, it will be a matter of seconds..."
"But with his nose..."
"That will be his downfall, his powerful nose will be overpowered with poison..."
Naraku smiled, and nodded.
"Yes, Mukotsu will be useful after all. But send Jyakotsu along as well, the two combined should be a powerful duo..."
"Yes sir..."
She trailed off, cursing herself. Inuyasha wouldn't stand a chance against Jyakotsu...would he? He could easily defeat Mukotsu, but Jyakotsu, with his snake-sword, who really did stand a chance...
This would end up to be an interesting match...
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
