New Devil
Chapter 6
It wasn't long until the snow stopped and melted away. Kagome stopped training with the sword when she found she had better luck with a bow and arrows.
Kagome lay tired on her bed, her arms sore from holding the bow and her fingers numb from shooting the arrows.
"Kagome" Shippo stood in the doorway his face white as the snow that had melted away
"Shippo what's wrong?"
"There's a big spider crawling up my window"
"Is it inside or outside?"
"Outside, but it's really big" Shippo spread out his arms and Kagome laughed at the exaggeration
"Come here" Kagome put Shippo on her lap, "There's a lullaby about a spider… how does it go… the itsy bitsy spider crawled up the water spout, down came the rain and washed the spider out. Up came the sun and dried up all the rain and the itsy bitsy spider crawled up the spout again."
"Eh? So the spider is going to get in?" Kagome sweat drop but before she could say anything the castle rumbled.
Kagome got up and Shippo screamed
"It's trying to get in!"
"What?"
"The spider" Shippo hid under Kagome's blankets as she looked out into the hall. Suddenly the window at the end of the hall broke in and a large demon spider stuck its legs in while trying to enter.
"Oh gods!" Kagome closed her door and sat down waiting for her heart to slow but before she could even breathe something hit on her door.
"Ah!" she jumped back and Inuyasha busted in
"Come on!" he grabbed her hand and they ran down the hall
"Wait for me!" Shippo came running after as they ran past the entering spider demon and down the halls into the main hall where Sango and Kohaku stood with Miroku.
"What's happening?" Sango asked as another window in the hall broke in
"Spiders, big ones!"
"Not again" Sango sighed, "The only Spider tribe left is the red stripped. Their fangs drip with poison and their two front legs end, in deadly claws they use to rip you apart."
"How wonderful…" Kagome sweat dropped
There was no time for anymore chatting as the door Inuyasha had been holding closed was finally broken through. Inuyasha was thrown back and Kagome quickly ran to his side,
"Inuyasha…!"
"I'm fine, now watch out and don't get hurt" Inuyasha pushed Kagome behind him and stood in a fighting stance as one of the demons came forward. Subconsciously he ejected sharp claws from his hands and growled.
"You are a half breed, you cannot defeat me!" the demon laughed
Inuyasha jumped forward and slashed at the spiders face but was thrown back by one of its legs and cut on his shoulder. He touched the blood and smirked as he jumped forward again and threw his blood at the spider's legs. The attack sliced threw the spider demons legs and he collapsed to the ground with a shriek.
"Bull shit I can't defeat you, I just did" he mocked as he thrust his clawed hand through the demons body, killing it.
"Inuyasha…" Kagome and the others looked at the now white haired boy in shock and amazement?
Sango and Kohaku killed a few more demons until the spiders seemed to retreat. Shippo looked out one of the shattered windows and screamed as a sudden claw rubbed against him. Kagome picked him up and Inuyasha threw the half alive spider demon against a wall where he was about to kill it but was stopped by Sango.
"Why did your clan retreat? Who sent you here?"
"Ku… aku…" the demon couldn't finish until it let out one final breath and slept for eternity.
"Aku?"
Soon after, the maids finished cleaning the halls, Naraku appeared from nowhere.
"What happened here? Kagome are you ok?"
"I'm fine" Kagome smiled, "A clan of spider demons attacked but Sango, Kohaku, and Inuyasha took care of them"
"I am sorry I was not here to protect you, I had some business to attend to" as Naraku took Kagome back to her room Sango eyed the mysterious demon.

"Lady Kagome it is time for us to become mates, the higher demons will allow us no more time. The ceremony is in 2 days"
"What! Oh my god I can't believe this… I can't get married I'm only 15" Kagome panicked and Naraku placed a hand over hers. She calmed down and nodded.
"I guess there's no other choice"
"Do you not want me as a mate?"
"No it's not like that I mean…" Kagome blushed, "I just don't think two people should be forced to get married…"
Naraku smiled though his smile seemed a bit more demonic than kind, as it was before. He walked Kagome to her room and then left to his own room.

As Sango walked down the halls she heard Kagome's panicking voice, peering from around the corner she saw Kagome and Naraku. She watched as Naraku put Kagome to her room to rest and then followed Naraku to wherever he was headed. She stopped and hid as Naraku went into his own chambers but then came back out with Kagura, the wind demoness; they walked into a hall and closed the door. Sango tip-toed to the door and opened it just a crack so that she could hear their conversation.
'Naraku has been acting strange lately' Sango thought to herself as she listened closely.
"The ceremony will be held in 2 days Kagura. Make sure there are no disturbances, none, do I make myself clear?"
"Yes milord Naraku"
"Heh, heh I much rather this name and body than the human Onigumo" Naraku laughed
'What's that supposed to mean… is he… a half demon!' Sango thought in shock, she heard them coming to the door and quickly ran into a room where she waited until they were gone. Hearing silence Sango cautiously left the room but froze when she found Naraku staring straight at her with a sneer.
"It's not polite to listen in on other's conversations"
"You're a half demon, just like Inuyasha"
"Yes, but I am much more powerful than that weak hanyou. I control my powers, I made myself this way" he smirked and roughly grabbed Sango's wrist.
"I'd respect if you'd keep your pretty mouth closed" he glared and Sango jerked away from him, she turned and walked back to her room.

"This is the ceremonial ring, once on not only will our souls be bound but your place as the queen, the Devil will be whole" Naraku handed Kagome a small golden ring with a red line around the center.
"You must put it on when the priests' blood falls to the ground. It becomes a spiritual sacrifice"
"Oh, ok" Kagome smiled uneasily and Naraku kissed her forehead just as he left.

An odd harmonic song played as she walked down the aisle. Her hair was up in a loose but neat bun and wrapped with white lace. She wore a turquoise corset and long flowing light green skirt as her gown. In her hands she held red flowers called 'spit-fires,' when dead they spit seeds that, on contact, burn through what they touch. She closed her eyes and breathed in as she drew closer to where Naraku and the priest stood. The ring practically part of her palm, she squeezed so hard; she looked at Sango and Kohaku who both wore Demon Slaying uniforms. Miroku wore a black and purple robe, Shippo wore a brown and blue vest with blue pants, and Inuyasha wore his regular faded jeans and a baggy black shirt. His golden eyes were so fierce Kagome felt as if she couldn't pull away from them, but she did and now stood in front of Naraku. Naraku wore red and black armor and his hair was in a loose ponytail that waved over his shoulders. Kagome forced a smile; she was happy but nervous as hell.
After what seemed to be forever the priest finally took a dagger and lightly cut across his palm. The blood fell to the floor and Kagome put the ring on, she looked up at Naraku, her eyes on him but her glance on Inuyasha who was looking at the ground with an almost sad expression. She tried to breathe in air but instead coughed out blood, her full attention on Naraku now.
Shippo yelled Kagome's name and Sango said something as she tried to run to Kagome but guards blocked her. Kagome fell to the ground and the tears streamed down, she looked to Inuyasha who was fighting to get to her. Naraku laughed and licked the blood from his knife, he pulled Kagome's face up to look at him; his hands became tentacles.
He raised the knife and thrust…
Disclaimer: I only wish I owned Inuyasha then again if I did I would have the pressure of coming up with new episodes so actually I don't hmm…
