Disclaimer: sorry it's been a week since I finished my chapter of TKP, it's just my great grandpa died Saturday and there's been a lot of havoc. Oh and also I finally figured out the ending to this fic though I also figured out that including this chapter there are only five chapters left
Chapter 11:
Stealing Your Heart
"Hmph now that Kagura is gone there's no need for me to stay," Sesshomaru said calmly then turned to leave but found himself face to face with the white haired demon.
"I'm sorry but you're not going anywhere Sesshomaru," Kouyou told the dog demon then held out his hand and released a blue burst of energy. The western lord was barely able to dodge but his servant was hit by the attack. Rin tapped on the green demon and felt the cold sweep through her body.
"Master Jakken is frozen!" the young girl cried as she tugged at Sesshomaru's pant leg.
"At least he's quite now," he replied without even giving the girl a glance.
"What the hell just happened, he didn't even have a weapon?" Inuyasha asked out loud as he scratched behind his left dog ear out of confusion.
"My newest incarnation is derived from the four elements and all powerful, Kouyou has no need for weapons like his components," Naraku smirked then turned to his creation, "Now Kouyou finish them off."
"Of course, don't worry this won't take long," the incarnate smirked then held out his hand, "Thorns of Constriction."
Inuyasha could feel the ground before four giant vines burst from the ground and two of them attempted to wrap themselves around him and the others went after his half brother. "Iron Wreaver Soul Stealer."
"Whip of Light," the two brothers tore through the vines then once again faced the demon, "Hmm it seems you are not quite as powerful as we were led to believe." Sesshomaru sighed then withdrew his sword from its sheath.
"Hmm how amusing, you truly think that was my true strength. If I wanted to I could kill you in an instant but it's much more fun just to watch you squirm," smirked Kouyou as he raised his hand, "Scorching Inferno."
A ring of fire encircled the four and the hot embers began hitting their faces, slightly paining the two demon brothers and Rin and defrosting Jaken. "Lord Sesshomaru, Rin's face hurts," the young girl cried as she tugged at his pant leg.
The demon lord lifted the girl into his arms and jumped out of the flame, followed by his half brother. Sesshomaru motioned to Inuyasha then swung his weapon releasing his attack as did Inuyasha, "Wind Scar."
As the two powerful attacks headed towards him Kouyou just smiled smugly. At the last second the white haired elemental disappeared only to reappear seconds later standing feet away from Inuyasha, "I'd think that after all the time you've spent with Miruto you'd realize that you attack wasn't going to work, and unlike my weaker counterpart I can avoid your attacks without draining my energy," the incarnation laughed then walked closer, "Hmm I'm growing bored with you, maybe it's time I finish you off. I believe you'll be quite familiar with this technique."
Inuyasha suddenly felt a burning sensation throughout his body, he tried to scream but found that he couldn't open his mouth. His eyes darted toward his now swollen brother and he realized that they were being torn apart from the inside. "I warned you before that my incarnation is unstoppable," laughed Naraku maniacally. Inuyasha suddenly felt the pressure pressing against his skin lessen as the white haired incarnate turned to his master, "Kouyou what are you doing, destroy them now."
"You know I've been wondering, if I'm as powerful as you say then why do I need to obey you?" Kouyou asked as he slowly walked over to his master with his hand rubbing his chin.
"Have you forgotten that I have possession of your heart?" Naraku asked in a calm tone the held out the glowing orb that was the incarnation's heart.
"Of course not but what's to stop me from stealing it from you," the demon inquired then quickly disappeared. He emerged moments later and snatched his heart from his now former master, "You know father I think it's finally time that I take over the family business."
Once again the incarnate held out his hand and lifted Naraku off the ground, 'Damn it, I guess this is the end to my invincible servant,' the demon though then with the use of most of his strength reached out to touch the head of his assailant. Kouyou began to glow a bright white then seemed to melt into four mounds of flesh which immediately reformed into four bodies, "It seems I no longer have any need to keep these two alive any longer," Naraku said as he bent down next to the semi unconscious bodies of Takashi and Kagura and retrieved the jewel shards implanted in their necks.
Miruto woke to find his to elder siblings lying next to him beginning to fade, 'No not again, not again,' the water elemental thought as he crawled over to the two and shook them in an attempt tried to wake them up.
As Miruto pulled away in submission he wiped his moistened eyes with his blood-stained left hand, 'Blood to blood, maybe the amulet can save her,' Sesshomaru thought as he pulled the charm from his pocket then tossed it toward the incarnate, "Quickly use this to revive her, it requires a blood to blood connection."
"Right blood to blood," it took a moment for the information to register in Miruto's mind but once it did he realized what he had to do. H placed his reddened hand on the jewel in the middle of the amulet and it began glowing. He saw that his sister was now gone and quickly held the amulet up to the air in front of him and he saw the dim outline of his sister before he finally passed out from to much blood loss.
As watched as her sister came back into view but realized that her brother was still a mound of soil and her twin was in no condition to revive him. 'I supposed this means I'll have to do it,' the fire elemental thought as she walked over to retrieve the amulet in Miruto's hand.
"Come Kinbari, I think it's time we take our leave," Naraku told her as he began to walk away.
A look of furry came over the red-haired demon's face as she picked up the amulet then glared at Naraku, "I'm not going anywhere with you, you just killed my siblings again and you expect me to just ignore that and walk away."
"Have it your way but I hope you realize that you just made a very powerful enemy," warned Naraku before he summoned his dark cloud and flew away.
Kinbari turned back towards her brother's remains and cut a deep scar in her hand. As her blood began to spill out she dripped it over the item in her hand then watched as Takashi's body reformed, "Hey Takashi welcome back."
"Where's Naraku, nobody uses me as a flesh puppet," Announced the earth elemental as he stood up quickly and looked around.
"He's gone, we're finally free," Kagura informed her younger brother then walked over to Sesshomaru, "If you wouldn't mind I would like to join you in your travels."
"Whatever, are they coming as well?" the western lord asked as he pointed towards Takashi and Kinbari.
"No thanks, I'm done with following orders I'm going to find Naraku on my own and seek my revenge though you may join me if you'd like Kinbari," Takashi told Sesshomaru then turned back to his younger sister.
"Do you even need to ask, but before I go maybe I should unfreeze your friend there," the fire elemental said as she pointed towards Jaken.
"No thanks I could use the silence," the white haired dog demon told her with a small smirk on his face.
Half an Hour Later
"Where in the world are Inuyasha and Miruto, Inuyasha knows he's supposed to stay in bed," asked Kagome in a worried voice.
"Kagome I'm sure they're fine, they are demons after all and we know they can fend for themselves," Sango comforted her friend.
"I'm not sure if that so true," Shippou said as he pointed out the window.
Kagome went to look and saw Inuyasha walking down the hillside with the unconscious body of Miruto in his arms then ran outside, "Inuyasha what happened to him?"
"It's a long story," Inuyasha sighed as he avoided her gaze.
Finally done. Sorry it's so short but in my original plans this chapter was part of the last chapter. Oh btw next chapter is the moment you've all been waiting for, the birth of Miroku's and Sango's son. Now I'm gonna leave you in suspense until next time and don't forget to R&R.
