Chapter 5
Kagome and the others had woken up a few hours ago, and were now continuing their trek around Japan in search for Taimu, the dragon of time.
"Myoga, how much longer is this?" Kagome asked.
"By my calculations, we should be there by late afternoon." Myoga informed.
"Well, that's a relief. I don't think my legs can take much more of this!" Kagome sighed. They had been walking up a steep mountain peak.
Suddenly, white, fluffy stuff began to fall from the sky (you should all know what it is…).
"Snow…?" Sango exclaimed, watching as one fell on Kirara's nose. Kirara then began to shake violently to get it off.
"Great! Just what we need…snow…" Kagome said drowsily.
"Don't worry, Kagome!" Miroku said cheerfully. "At least we'll get the orb! That's progress!"
"What's the point of getting the orb if Inuyasha's not around to get the cure?" Kagome wondered.
"Oh yeah…you've got a point!" Miroku said, sweatdropping a bit.
"My point, exactly." Kagome said.
"Alright, someone PLEASE explain what we're talking about! What's Inuyasha gotta transform back from? Who the heck is Taimu? What orb are we looking for? WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON!" Kouga asked all at once.
"Uhhh….long story!" was all that Kagome could reply.
---
SLASH! BANG! CRASH!
Inuyasha, for about the 100th time, crashed into the dojo-type room's wall. When he stood up, Kagura then used one of those chained sickle thingies and sliced him up a bit.
"This is no fun. He won't even yelp in pain, much less scream in agony…" Kagura muttered.
"I'm so bored. Why can't we just kill him?" asked Koto.
"Then Naraku would probably kill us both. That no good demon!" Kagura shouted the last part, using her fan to send the wind blades colliding with Inuyasha, sending him once again into the blood-stained wall.
Inuyasha stood up again with no complaint whatsoever. He then just stared.
"Alright, kid. Get this straight. We're supposed to train you under Naraku's orders. Now you need to fight back, or die from blood-loss." Koto explained.
Inuyasha then grabbed a nearby kodachi (AN: He would have had a katana, but they were far too big for him to wield!--;;) and charged towards Kagura. She used her blades, but Inuyasha dodged and used the kodachi to try and slice her in half. Kagura leaped away and only got a diagonal tear in her clothing.
'Hmph. It seems that he was just drawing out the battle to learn to perceive my every move. Oh well, it'll make easier training..' thought Kagura. "Well, that's better, runt. But we still have a ways to go. DANCE OF THE DRAGON!" she shouted, sending 4 tornadoes at Inuyasha, who got sucked up in one of them and hit the ceiling, falling to the ground.
"HA!" Koto took this opportunity to cast a cyclone of water, which banged Inuyasha into the wall again.
---
"Hmmm…it seems I will be gone longer than I expected. I guess I'll have to go back and fetch Rin." Sesshomaru muttered to himself, turning around and going back the way he came. 'If I keep going, I will be risking Rin's safety. But why would I be caring so much for the safety of a young girl? A human girl, no doubt. I wonder if…' Sesshomaru's thoughts were cut short as he picked up a scent. He jumped just in time to miss a large fireball.
Sesshomaru turned around to see a large black dragon with red eyes. It's leathery wings were folded up, and it was growling loudly. It's long, black tail had a single spike at the end of it.
Sesshomaru took out Tokijin, about to slay the monster. But then he stopped. He looked beyond the dragon for enough time to spot a nest of eggs along with a black orb before the dragon shot another couple of fireballs at him. He jumped out of the way, sheathed his sword and began to walk away. The dragon roared at him, as a warning not to come near her nest again. If Sesshomaru hadn't known better, he would have thought the dragon was actually laughing at him. But dragons couldn't laugh or talk, could they? At least an ordinary dragon couldn't. And it didn't smell of a demon, either…
Sesshomaru hadn't been walking very long, yet he was almost at the camp. Suddenly, a sharp scream pierced the air. His eyes widened. 'Rin…' was all he could think when he darted towards the camp where Rin, Jaken, Ah, and Uhn were. When he reached the clearing, he saw……
---
"Alright! FINALLY! We're here!" Kagome said, noticing a large fence made from thick logs, sharply carved at the end. In front of the group was a door made from logs that looked to be about 2 kilometers high and at least 5 decameters long. It had a picture of a large, white dragon on the top of it.
"Alright, now what, Myoga?" asked Kouga. While walking, kagome and the others had told about Inuyasha's curse and how to lift it.
"Well, Taimu should be guarding this door. So, where he is I do not know." Myoga explained. "Why don't we go inside and take a look?" he suggested, jumping off of Kagome's shoulder and landing on Sango's.
Kagome ignored this, and, with the help of the others, pushed open the door. What they saw they certainly weren't expecting.
---
Naraku reached the entrance of his castle and walked into the dojo thingy. He looked inside and saw Koto, Kagura, Kohaku, and Inuyasha.
"Kagura, Koto. Have you trained him?" Naraku asked.
"Of course, master." Koto replied, bowing.
"Well, duh," Kagura muttered under her breath.
"Then I want all four of you to go and attack Kagome and her friends. Make sure that they are all killed. Understood?" Naraku asked. The four nodded, bowed, and left.
---
Sesshomaru looked into the blood-stained clearing and saw Jaken unconscious by Ah and Uhn, who were also unconscious. They had no wounds. Sesshomaru looked around and finally noticed Rin. She lay in a pool of blood, some still pouring out of her stomach and mouth. One hand was held tightly over the wound, trying to keep her innards from spilling out. Her other hand was holding a sharp rock, and she was forcing herself not to pass out.
"Se…..Sesshomaru…" she managed to say before coughing up blood.
Sesshomaru dashed over to her side. "Rin, what happened?" he asked in a worried tone. His face forgot its emotionless state and showed 100% percent worry on it.
Rin, still coughing blood, could only sputter out uncompleted sentences. "Demon….baboon pelt…hurt….Jaken…..Ah and Uhn…..kill….me…" she managed to say, her vision becoming more and more blurry. Eventually, she gave up and lost consciousness.
"A demon in a baboon pelt?" Sesshomaru repeated. "Naraku…" he muttered, filled with rage. He then remembered Rin's condition and calmed down.
Sesshomaru picked her up. He looked over at Jaken, Ah, and Uhn and saw that they were slowly awakening. He and Jaken mounted on Ah and Uhn, and took off towards the nearest people who could possibly help.
Kagome and her friends.
