Chapter 2 : Battle Between Brothers
A few minutes later, Kagome wakes up andwasshocked to see that she was riding on Sesshoumaru's flying mount, Aun. "Ne!" Kagome shouted out as she sits up. "Onee-chan! You're awake!" Rin exclaimed as Kagome turned to see Rin beside her, along with Jacken. "Your name is Kagome right?" Rin asked as Kagome nodded. "You must be Rin" Kagome stated as Rin cheerfully nodded. "It's great to have more friends don't you think? I really want to know you a lot more better especially since Sesshoumaru-sama was the one who brought you here" Rin cheerfully stated as Kagome's eyes widened in shock. "That's right. Sesshoumaru took me. But why?" Kagome asked herself as Rin looked closer at her. "Kagome onee-chan, daijoubo?" Rin asked curiously as Kagome turned to her and shook her head. "Nothing" Kagome replied.
"Jacken" Sesshoumaru called out as Kagome turned to see Sesshoumaru, flying beside them. "Hai Sesshoumaru-sama" Jacken stated. "Bring Rin and the girl to Naraku's fortress. I'll meet with you there soon" Sesshoumaru commanded. "Hey! I have a name! It's Kagome! Do you understand!" Kagome shouted out in rage as Sesshoumaru gave her a glared look making her shrug. "Shut up, kagome" Sesshoumaru demanded as he then flew away. Hearing this, Kagome's eyes widened in shock. "He called me by my name" Kagome thought. "That baka Inuyasha only called me by my name a day after we met. Demo…Sesshoumaru called me by my name right after I told him my name" Kagome continued to think as she watches Sesshoumaru getting farther and farther. "Sesshoumaru" Kagome stated.
"Miroku! Sango! Shippo! Kirara! Soukou!" Inuyasha shouted out as he barges in Kaede's hut. "Soukou? Nandeyo? We just got here. Plus, we're not leaving without Kagome" Miroku sighed as Sango, Shippo and Kirara nodded. "Baka! Sesshoumaru took Kagome!" Inuyasha informed them in rage as the gang's eyes widened in shock. "Nani! Sesshoumaru took Kagome?" Shippo asked as Inuyasha nodded. "Come on. Let's go!" Inuyasha called out as he then rushed out followed by the gang.
Meanwhile, in Naraku's fortress, Kagome, Rin, Jacken and Aun patiently waited for Sesshoumaru. "Rin, can I ask you a question?" Kagome asked as Rin turned to her. "Nani?" she asked. "Uh, how did you end up being with Sesshoumaru?" Kagome asked curiously as Rin looked down. "My family was killed by some bandits that attacked my hometown. Not long after that, I saw Sesshoumaru badly wounded in the forest near our town. I took care of him since he couldn't move. There's more to the story but it's really a blur" Rin replied with a smile as Jacken shook his head and sighed. "Jacken-sama, why don't you tell her?" Rin suggested as Jacken nodded and cleared his throat. "Well, when Rin went to her village to get some food for Sesshoumaru-sama, the village was attacked by wolves and killed everyone, even Rin" Jacken explained as Kagome's eyes widened in shock. "But Sesshoumaru-sama was so good that he used his sword to revive me!" Rin interrupted as Jacken sighed. "I thought you wanted me to continue the story" Jacken sighed. "Gomen ne Jacken-sama" Rin apologized scratching her head. "Sword? You mean tensaiga?" Kagome asked curiously as Jacken nodded. "As you already know tensaiga is far different from the tetsusaiga that Inuyasha has" Jacken grunted as he began to clear his throat. "It's kind of a long story but I'm willing to tell you this" Jacken stated. But before he could utter another word, Kagome and Rin, along with Aun began to walk way as Jacken's mouth fell wide open. "Nani! Aren't you two gonna listen to the story!" Jacken asked in rage. "Eh, you said it's a long story" Kagome replied. "Hai. Long stories make me feel sleepy, right Aun?" Rin asked as Aun nodded. "Baka" Jacken sighed as the two continued to walk away.
As Inuyasha follows Kagome's scent along with the rest of the gang, Sesshoumaru, flying above was quietly spying on them. "Hmph. Pitiful. He's bringing with him his friends" Sesshoumaru grunted with a deep sigh as Inuyasha's eyes suddenly widened. "This smell" Inuyasha said in shock as he then looked up. "Sesshoumaru!" Inuyasha called out, spotting Sesshoumaru above them. "I'm impressed Inuyasha. But then, you still look pitiful bringing your friends along with you to save your girl" Sesshoumaru stated as Inuyasha shrug. "My-my-my-girl?" Inuyasha asked in shock as Sango and Miroku sighed. "Don't deny it Inuyasha. I know you're falling for a puny human once again. Just like you fell in love with that miko that betrayed you" Sesshoumaru declared as Inuyasha felt enrage. "Kikyo didn't betray me! We were fooled by Naraku!" Inuyasha shouted out. "Baka. Which makes you much more clumsier than ever" Sesshoumaru sighed. "I'm warning you Inuyasha. If you bring your friends along with you, then you better prepare to say goodbye to your precious Kagome" Sesshoumaru said bluntly as he then flew away. "Mate! Sesshoumaru!" Inuyasha shouted out. "Inuyasha, what are we gonna do?" Sango asked worriedly as Inuyasha turned to them. "We'll have to play by his rules. Damn that Sesshoumaru" Inuyasha replied with a grunt. "Demo Inuyasha. What if it's a trap?" Miroku asked curiously as Inuyasha grunted. "I don't care. As long as Kagome is safe, I'm prepared to give up my life" Inuyasha replied with a sigh. "Bakeru Inuyasha! Don't be stupid! Do you think Kagome will accept that? That you'd die in return for her life?" Shippo shouted out as Inuyasha shrug. "Shi-ppo" Inuyasha stated. "Shippo is right. If we can't go along with you, we'll just watch nearby. Besides, we're worried about Kagome too" Sango stated as Inuyasha nodded. "Okay. Then let's get going!" Inuyasha demanded as he began to run fastly while Sango, Shippo and Miroku hops on Kirara's back.
As Inuyasha continued to run fast, he stopped on his tracks, finding the place somewhat familiar. "Inuyasha, daijoubo?" Sango asked curiously as Inuyasha shrug. "Mate. This place, it's where Naraku's fortress lies" Inuyasha informed them as Miroku nodded. "No wonder I felt weird as we passed by two humongous trees a minute ago" Miroku sighed as Inuyasha looked down. "Why? Why does Sesshoumaru want to fight with me in this place? I thought he felt disgusted with Naraku and never wanted to come back. Demo, he still wants to kill Naraku with his own hands" Inuyasha thought as Shippo jumps off Kirara. "Inuyasha, what's wrong?" Shippo asked. "Hey, I think you guys will have to stay here. If you go any further I'm sure he'll smell your scents" Inuyasha sighed. "Yeah. Knowing Sesshoumaru, he'd kill an innocent person without hesitation" Miroku sighed as well. "What's more, Kagome is a human and Sesshoumaru despises humans" Sango stated as she gave out a deep sigh. "Iye. I don't think he hates human as much as he says he does. Besides, if he does, why is he traveling with that girl, Rin?" Inuyasha reminded them. "You're right. He must have a soft side somewhere inside of him" Miroku stated. "Anyway, I gotta go. Kagome's waiting" Inuyasha sighed as he then began to run further into Naraku's vile fortress.
Meanwhile, Kagome and Rin were cheerfully playing skipping stones as they patiently wait for Sesshoumaru. "Jacken!" Sesshoumaru called out as he steps on the ground. "Sesshoumaru-sama" Jacken stated as he hurriedly walked up to him as well as Rin. "This arm that you provided me is useless!" Sesshoumaru shouted out as he then ripped his left arm out. "But Sesshoumaru-sama, that arm belongs to one of the most powerful youkai during your father's time" Jacken said as he cringed in fright. "You aho! It's deteriorating!" Sesshoumaru shouted out as Rin shrug and runs to Kagome's back. "Sesshoumaru-sama, sumimasen" Jacken apologized, bowing his head in front of him as Sesshoumaru grunted. "Having only one arm is even better than having some other youkai's pathetic arm" Sesshoumaru stated as he throws the arm to Jacken. Suddenly, as Sesshoumaru turned around, Inuyasha was already there.
"Sesshoumaru!" Inuyasha shouted out in rage as Sesshoumaru calmly smirked. "Inuyasha, I never thought you'd come here alone. How honorable of you" Sesshoumaru grunted as Kagome's face brightened to see Inuyasha. "Inuyasha!" Kagome called out. "Wait there Kagome. I'll get you out of here in no time" Inuyasha stated as Kagome smiled and nodded. "Baka. You're so pitiful. Risking your own life for a human, worst, falling in love with a human. You're just like your mother. Useless and defenseless" Sesshoumaru commented as Inuyasha's eyes widened in shock. "Aho! I will never forgive you! First of all, for kidnapping Kagome and next for insulting my mother. If father was here I'm sure he'd send you right away to the pits of hell!" Inuyasha shouted out as Sesshoumaru chuckled. "And you think that scares me?" Sesshoumaru asked. "My dear Inuyasha, I've been living in hell ever since father gave you me the tetsusaiga!" Sesshoumaru shouted out as he then began to draw his sword.
Sesshoumaru was moving fast as he attempted to attack Inuyasha. Inuyasha was fast to dodge his attacks as well. "If it goes on like this, Inuyasha will get tired and Sesshoumaru would never show his mercy not even if they're brothers" Kagome thought as he watched the fight between the two brothers. "Give it up Inuyasha! You're not that strong enough yet" Sesshoumaru stated. "Shut up! You really talk a lot don't you Sesshoumaru!" Inuyasha shouted out as he blocks Sesshoumaru's sword attacks. "Hmph, you do know that toukijin could break tetsusaiga if you keep using tetsusaiga as your shield" Sesshoumaru reminded him. "He's right" Inuyasha thought as he instantly put tetsusaiga back in its sheath. "Inuyasha! Baka! What are you doing! Don't get fooled by him!" Kagome shouted out. "Hissori Kagome! He's not kidding! After all, toukijin is made from that stupid goblin's fangs! Don't you remember! That aho easily broke tetsusaiga with its fangs!" Inuyasha reminded her while he evades Sesshoumaru's attacks. "He's right. That goblin did easily break tetsusaiga" Kagome stated as she remembers the scene wherein the tetsusaiga broke in the mouth of one of Naraku's detachments. "This is hopeless" Sesshoumaru sighed as he stopped on his tracks and kept his sword. "Huh? What the hell are you doing Sesshoumaru! Aren't you going to attack me!" Inuyasha shouted out as Sesshoumaru smirked. "You're not a worthy opponent yet Inuyasha. All you can do is dodge my attacks. You can't even lay a finger on me" Sesshoumaru grunted as Inuyasha got clearly annoyed. "Come to me whenever you feel like you've gotten stronger Inuyasha. But for now, why don't you go play with some youkais that might help you gain more strength" Sesshoumaru suggested as Inuyasha burst in flames. "Hissori Sesshoumaru! You coward! Why don't you fight with me now!" Inuyasha shouted out. "Sesshoumaru is right. Inuyasha is still no match for him even though Tetsusaiga has gotten stronger. Inuyasha can barely make a move on him. He can't dodge Sesshoumaru's attack forever. He just can't" Kagome thought as Sesshoumaru began to walk towards her, Rin, Jacken and Aun. "Mate Sesshoumaru! We're not done yet!" Inuyasha shouted out, running after Sesshoumaru as he draws tetsusaiga. "Inuyasha! Osuwari!" Kagome shouted out as Inuyasha instantly fell face flat on the ground. "Hmph" Sesshoumaru grunted as he then grabs Kagome and flies up while Rin and Jacken rides on Aun. "Sesshoumaru!" Inuyasha shouted out as he stands up, looking at Sesshoumaru getting farther and farther. "Think about what I said Inuyasha. I'm actually giving you more time to live. Plus, you really don't want to die in front of Kagome's eyes right?" Sesshoumaru said as he suddenly disappeared along with Kagome, Jacken, Rin and Aun. "Gomen ne, Inuyasha" Kagome sighed.
The instant Sesshoumaru uttered Kagome's name, Inuyasha's eyes widened in shock. "He called her by her name. He never calls anyone by their name unless he trust him or her" Inuyasha thought as Sango, Shippo, Miroku and Kirara arrived. "We saw Sesshoumaru running away with Kagome. What happened?" Miroku asked curiously as Inuyasha looked down. "I don't know. Kagome let him escape" Inuyasha replied in a low voice as Sango turned to Miroku. "I don't think Kagome meant for Sesshoumaru to escape" Sango told Miroku in a soft voice as Inuyasha walked away. "I know. It was for Inuyasha" Miroku sighed.
