Hello every body! Thank you for the reviews which you sent me. To those who may not review, WHY! I'm joking, but yeah here it is.
Inuyasha noted that his half brother's front gates, blocking his entrance, fell quite easily under his claws wrath. The hanyou proceeded in taking the lives of the demon's that attacked him as he charged into his brother's closed in area. The boy received a cut across his right cheek and a sliver over his left leg but these small abrasions were all that Sesshoumaru's protectors could manage. This, of course, was pathetic because, not only were they guards, but they were demon warriors as well.
The blood of lives lost danced through the last rays of sun light, some droplets displayed themselves over Inuyasha's already, red haori. It may have been one's imagination but as the male struck these enemies down, one by one, he could have sworn to have heard a females scream. Yet, as he peered round him, there was no woman being killed or seen by his sun kissed golden eyes.
Then over the horizon, under a large tree which still bore the green he could see Kagome arching her back, screaming in pain. Akin stood over her body holding her hand, unsure of what to do. As the hanyou ran he could sense Naraku's aura surrounding the youth and some other with in the castle. Kagome's soul tried desperately to come forth from the confinements of her body. Her eyes were rolled into the back f her head and she continued to cry in such agony that Inuyasha swore for but a moment that he felt her own pain burning with in his breast. The youth turned to him as he came suddenly, ripping away from her protector.
Fear slid over her scent so quickly that Inuyasha stopped dead in his track as a sickening feeling rolled over him like a tidal wave. "Inuyasha what are you doing here?" Kagome's body calmed immediately, her soul pushed its self back into place. The young man who she had questioned ran toward her almost limp body. Her beautiful scent, wild flowers in the morning dew, had been laced with the smell of fear, which burned his nose like acid. This is what fear smelt like, acid burning flowers in mid morning.
"Why are you unnerved by my presence Kagome?" She didn't answer his pleading voice, or eyes. "Damn it what did I do?"
As his anger built she let it her voice ring. "Aren't you mad? I'm waiting for you to yell because I came here." Silence fell between the two as a small wind blew past them sending Kagome into convulsions again. She screamed and so did the other in with in the castle.
Akin stood abruptly and began running full speed into the castle as her soul tried its best to slip away for the third time this day. Inuyasha and her protective new ally swore that they heard a menacing, deep laugh filled with humor at Kagome's pain. The youkai guards opened the doors for Akin and the Inu half brother as each came charging up the steps. Inuyasha, as he entered, became slightly amazed at the sheer size of his foolish half blood brother's home. Yet those thought's lasted for only a moment because his dear friend who he was so fond of screamed in her immense pain once again. The boy's eyes lit in concern as Akin and he continued their motion. "Hang on Kagome, I know you can. Just a little longer please."
The dragon youkai came into a room, the room he had looked into earlier where a miko sat. Inuyasha gasped, catching his attention for a moment yet that was a moment. "My Lord, Kagome is very near death. Sesshoumaru turned just a moment after he struck Kikyo with his sword and sliced over Kagome. The female relaxed in her protector's hold and slept peacefully. Koga, who stood in the room, attacked Inuyasha while shouting. "You stupid jack ass! Do you know what you've done to Kagome?"
The hanyou did not answer his question, merely returned the punches given to him. "You don't know? Well then I'll tell you!" Koga managed to slam Inuyasha onto the ground and pin him. "You hurt her so badly you jerk. She's been drinking to num the pain and is weak. And for that I will never forgive you, not even if she asks me to." This last sentence the wolf spoke quietly.
"You to will cease your foolishness." The deep tones of Sesshoumaru made all become quiet with in the room. Yet that was only for a moment.
"Is that true Inuyasha?" Koga lifted away from the hanyou so that he could rise as Kikyo spoke. "Did you hurt Kagome's feelings?" Inuyasha walked to the, now, living woman.
"If I did I hadn't meant to." Sesshoumaru noted how controlled he suddenly became when speaking to her and how soft his voice was. The male's mannerisms changed completely as he sat so quietly, carefully upon Kikyo's bed, holding her hand.
"It's alright Inuyasha; I suppose you truly hadn't but please don't hurt the girl. I owe her so much." With that Kikyo lifted his hand and kissed it. At that moment, fate decided to play a cruel joke and so Kagome lifted her lids. Directly after spying the two together a deep despair filtered over her senses. She tore out of Akin's arms and fell into a table, causing it to knock over which gained everyone's attention.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to do that. I-I just-I…" Tears began to fill her eyes as she stayed in stillness, watching only Inuyasha and Kikyo. A shuddering breath came from her lungs, and another and then another. Her body was not doing what she desired but she could do nothing. Akin took action quickly for he did not wish her to be in pain. Koga also came to her side and each lifted her up, used encouraging words and took her from with in the room.
Sesshoumaru turned toward his brother and spoke these words. "Do not even have a thought of going to the little miko this evening brother or I shall have your head. I shall be speaking with Kikyo and Kagome but alone and in one hour." The hanyou went to disagree but the demon lord turned around to face him. "There will be no argument in this brother for, instead of being hospitable, I could make you leave this castle, even my lands."
With that the demon Lord left his brother and his brother's mate, or so he believed, alone with one another. Sesshoumaru was now looking for a certain blue eyed miko who was whisked away by her protectors. By the end of the evening he was indeed going to have a terrible migraine. The closer he came to the female the more he smelt despair. It was like snow cloaking flowers, deadening them with its frozen wrath. The demon lord could even hear her tears which fell to the ground, as well as her sobs. He noted that her breathing was irregular and that her miko energy crackled in great sorrow.
Sesshoumaru arrived on the scene as always, with a placid face. His emotionless demeanor didn't bother her, for this was how he was meant to be. Koga though, he had an entirely different opinion, though he didn't dare voice it. "Stupid bastard, he may be causing her more pain but he doesn't care."
The young woman, even though she knew it was alright to cry, didn't want to do such in front of this man. If only he would disperse from the area that she sat with in, if only he would make her leave. Yet he wouldn't do such a thing, even if she desired it. He was too honorable for that and so she didn't want to cry. Kagome began to make her self stop crying for she didn't want to be weak, not in front of him. "But why does it matter? It shouldn't, right?"
The young woman lifted her head in order to look into his amber orbs. There was of course nothing there but her reflection created of molten lava. Yet that made her happy. That made her so happy that she could view nothing, nothing that came over his mind.
She stood up and stepped toward him. No distain, no hate, anger or sadness trickled with in those depths.
She took another step. Yet-she paused for a moment- there is no happiness, glee or love there either.
She gasped as his hand came to her cheek. "Little miko's are unstable on their feet are they not?" And then she realized, she had fallen into the demon lord and had braced her self by holding to his shoulders. Her blue eyes blurred, caused him to become two instead of one. Kagome shook in his hold suddenly as she felt a chill roam her spinal cord. She swore that his eyes seemed to become concerned yet he was blurry and in double vision so to be honest she was unable to tell.
"Akin retrieve your brother and soar to the east in your dragon formation we discussed. I believe if we do not frighten the fool known as Naraku into desisting upon his tactics used against Kikyo and Kagome that they will soon die." Kagome glanced over toward her friend.
"It will be done with haste my lord." Akin bowed and then tore toward where the miko suggested to her self that his brother must be. His movements held a feared flurry that the miko missed, yet two youkai did not. Sesshoumaru smirked as he looked upon the miko for he found it so very comical that his guard cared for her so.
The youkai we speak of on the other hand took his task with extreme seriousness. He would protect the young woman no matter what it steps he was in need of taking. This man did not desire to find her dead one morning and so became even more determined to destroy the life of this hideous beast that showed so much cowardice. Akin spat, this demon, half breed or what ever he may be had absolutely no class, honor.
"Kyon, where is he?" Akin questioned the first military male that he had seen causing the young lad slight fright but yet he still held enough sense to answer.
"General Kyon is speaking with the other lord's at the moment upon battle tactics used, past wars and other such importance's." The protector nodded and tore in the direction of his brother.
He, in deed, was speaking with many a man. Some were human, others were demon. "And so you see it is…"
"Kyon, we must make haste, Lord Sesshoumaru has a great task for the both of us." Akin turned to the lord's and bowed. They seemed skeptical but said nothing.
"What is this task younger brother?" The male, full blooded, dragon demon's voice was deep and rich. It was almost alike to Sesshoumaru's own yet with held a small amount of emotion. He carried deep green hair, just as his brother, but brighter golden, green eyes. His skin was tan as a beaches sand while Akin's was as pale as the falling snow. This demon allowed his hair to fall instead of keeping it up with in some sort of wrap. It was about mid back length but, Akin noted, was normally longer.
"Naraku, you and I are to strike terror into his heart." At this sentence Kyon became much more serious. His eyes darkened, like a moonless night's blackness.
"You have been practicing since the accident correct?" Memories of the eastern wing's occurrence came to Akin's mind, settling uncomfortably with in his gut.
"Yes brother, I have been training my body once again." Kyon smiled and spoke soothingly to his younger brother.
"That is a good thing my dear brother. Also- He smirked –I believe Sesshoumaru is testing you which means he has faith in your abilities once again."
"Brother, we must prepare to leave." Kyon did not miss the determination, anger and hatred that swept across his face. Nor the fear lingering over his scent which was accompanied by worry.
"Yes, we must go." The elder then turned toward the lord's. "My apologies yet I must leave this area. It was an honor to speak with you all." After bowing to the already turning lords he made way to his brother who was currently transforming.
Green venom began to sprout from the ground which was soon followed by lava. Each ran around his body in mad frenzy and began insane when snow came from the sky. His body cracked and shifted multiple times in order to adjust to the correct form yet when chosen it was beautiful and deadly. A yellow and blue eye starred down toward his brother while his dragon scales were coated by fur.
Kyon smirked. "My turn." Fire shot from below him, his own temperature of boiling lava erupted about his frame. His eyes became large while the pupil contracted in pain. The front of his face became distorted as it lengthened, grew in width. Yet all ended just as quickly as Akin's. Kyon's body though, it was beautiful. Scales glistening like metallic gold and green with in the sunlight caught one's eye immediately. His eyes were more auburn than ever, hiding most of the emerald.
Both took to flight and rose so high that heat blazed from their bodies, but more so from the older brother. Akin, though normally slower than his sibling, rode at a quicker pace this day. Kyon could see that his nerves were wracked, but over what he could not tell. The Eastern mountain range came upon them quicker than thought possible, yet being able to fly always carries an advantage.
A weak, yet growing, aura surrounded the mountain top. The stench of it and its purple hue told Akin and his brother that they were in the right area. Naraku was in deed with in the premises and they were to strike terror into his heart, but if Akin could, he would kill the beast. The miasma seemed to grow in power the closer they came.
Kyon struck first, sending a blast of fire down upon the rocky service, causing it to begin melting away. Akin came soon after, using lava along with the fire of his brother's attack. The aura shot around them, slicing at their demon bodies, yet it did not harm them to terribly. The mountain opened partially, sending fourth many a demon. Akin froze them with his ice like breath, instead of using heat.
Thousands of beings flew at the two loyal servants of the western lord in large numbers. Each demon was destroyed fairly easy because they were so lowly classed. A large barrier came up, blocking any attacks from the brothers and so the wind sorceress Kagura came forward. Her body was thin yet her power was far from weak. "Dragon Twister!" The woman shouted as her attack left two fans, giving all the more danger to the brothers.
Akin dodged the first but was hit with the second, in the same place where he had gained his injury from the east wing. This area had not healed and so tore easily. The male screamed as he fell and Kyon dove after him. Thankfully because of Akin's mixed blood he was a great deal smaller than his half brother. Kyon caught and retreated with his only family left alive.
Though they did not kill Naraku, the general thought, they at least placed a slight bit of fear over him. This was probably what they were told to do in the first place but his little brother was young and so didn't understand when to quit. Kyon smirked as he flew home. "Young bloods, always foolish and yet wise in their own way. I was that way once." At times Akin whimpered with in his unwanted slumber because of the pain. Blood was beginning to fall from his mouth causing Kyon a small amount of fear.
"I apologize for this dear Akin, yet one must make haste." With those words spoken Kyon picked up his speed greatly. This caused the wound to tear slightly more every moment that past yet Kyon knew that if he was slow, his brother would die. "Kami, I'm not much of a believer but please, he is all I have left and you don't need him yet."
The elder, as his master's castle came in sight with his own power shifted hi younger sibling back into his humanoid form and himself directly after. Sesshoumaru was already coming in his direction. Akin began to convulse with in his brothers hold, urging the demon lord and dragon brother faster. Kyon landed and ran straight toward the western king, his eyes and movements were filled with an awakened fright, yet tired motion.
"My lord please, my brother he may die. I don't know what to do." Sesshoumaru's face was placed calmly enough, yet on the in side he was truly worried about his best protector and first class warrior. Kyon was obviously feeling the same way.
He sensed miko energy coming fast and so did Kyon causing his back to become straighter. "She is not to be harmed, understand?" The demon seemed shocked to say the least but consented to his lord's orders.
"Akin!" The young woman found new strength in her legs as she seen her friend lying in a pool of his own blood. She fell to the ground where they had laid him. The miko fitted her hands over is face as tears threatened to fall from her eyes. At the female's touch, he opened his apricot eyes which were filled with pain. And then he smiled. Her crying finally began because even though he was in pain Akin was happy to see her there with him.
Kagome bent over and hugged him, not worried about the blood coming upon her body. "I'm so sorry Akin-kun! I am so sorry." His hand came over her backside and rubbed the area in a circular motion. It soothed her wracked nerved into lazy thoughts.
Kyon watched in amazement at how his brother felt around the girl and how she must feel for him. She thought herself a close friend, an ally to the younger brother. Yet Akin, he may think more. Kyon wasn't sure. A small warm pink light came from where Kagome's body lay over the wound. The general looked to his lord who shook his head while watching the female. Akin fell into slumber as his eternal injuries healed themselves.
Inuyasha rushed out, along side Koga. "What the Hell are you doing Kagome?" This broke the girl's concentration and so the healing, that she hadn't known she did, ceased. At sight of the boy Kagome stood and began to back up when she bumped something very solid. She whirled around, for the heat of the armor hurt a bit, but other wise she was simply surprised. Then Kagome smiled at him, for there was gratitude with in his gaze.
"So your Akin-kun's brother?" The male nodded once. "What is your name?" She seemed so at ease in his presence which was shocking.
"I am Kyon my lady."
"Oh don't do that! Akin tries to call me my lady all the time. I'm just Kagome, okay?" Kyon grinned in a small way but nodded.
"Then Kagome you shall be called by I."
The young woman turned to her friend lying upon the ground. "What will we do Sesshoumaru-sama?" Her eyes filled with the deepest of blue as sadness sunk into their depths.
"Kyon carry your brother to the healing room. Kagome and Chiko shall care of him." The young woman looked up in surprise but smiled in happiness.
"Yes My Lord." With that the older brother lifted his younger up and took him to the castle with Kagome by his side, talking away.
Sesshoumaru watched them go, and the two boys follow. (Inuyasha and Koga) Yet the demon's mind was on one person. The little miko who was to turn his entire castle around. For if she could get Kyon to smile, she could do it to almost any one.
Yet then again, as he sensed a band of humans and at least to demons coming his thought's shifted over. Lovely, now he was to care for their friends to. Anger struck him, but they were Kagome's allies and so he could not keep them from coming. "Damn that girl. She may very well turn my warriors into foolish ninies." A loud noise came from his castle as Sessoumaru began walking back and it was in the east wing. He supposed some thing wanted Akin's blood. He smirked, this is his house of freaks no?
So was it good? Or did it suck? Next chapter I'll go a little into the east wing but not much. Also someone asked if this was Sessh/Kag and it is but there will be some bumps and lookers along the way.
