High Part 2 Chapter 5
Well, after a long wait from school work and exams, I finally have the free mind to continue this little epic story, and I finally have a sense of how this fight will progress. So hold on to your hats, readers, we're diving in!
Standing eye to eye in the middle of a crowded dining hall put to dismay, Sesshomaru glared at the ruby-eyed Naraku, his fists clenched, taking deep breaths that seemed to soothe him from turning his physical demon power on Sesshomaru. However, Kagura looked in terror, holding the thin sheet of her kimono ever so close to her, and watched on.
"Kagura," Sesshomaru said in monotone. "Run."
Quickly getting up to her feet, they were the only parts of her body that seemed to work. Her hands were clenched and her eyes were a blur, and she jumped over scattered pieces of the dining table. A tentacle whipped out in front of her, but was cut off by the hands of Sesshomaru, with Tokijin in his hand, the steel smoking from the poisonous miasma. Naraku then turned on Sesshomaru and whipped him in the face, and then his hand grew out as if it were a giant katana. He viciously slashed the sword-like hand, Sesshomaru barely darting each swipe, and when the closing walls cornered him, he jumped up to let Naraku slash through the wall, the light-emitting moon grazing over his brow. Golden eyes began to narrow.
Still in mid-air, Sesshomaru whirled around, and quickly lashed out his boa, wrapping it around Naraku as it sent him flying upwards to Sesshomaru, and was then taken aback by the force of Sesshomaru's claws. Sesshomaru then continued to do this, until Naraku's face was covered in scratch marks. However each time he did this, Naraku's body regenerated, bringing him back only to smirk at him. Sesshomaru then brought Tokijin back out and both sword and hand went against each other. As the two fought on to break the hold, Naraku coyly talked to Sesshomaru.
"What puzzles me the most about this Sesshomaru's actions the most is, why does he care so much about a detachment, as from the one he so despises?"
"THAT IS ENOUGH!" Sesshomaru barked and flung Naraku into the ground, bringing up the panels of wood that were the floor. Floating back to the ground, he saw that Kagura had fled the scene. Good, now she could handle those guards easily, as he saw undead corpse soldiers being flung into the air. He quickly slashed Tokijin in midair to wipe the stench and the miasma off of its blade. Watching silently, he saw that the immense pile of wood began to float slowly, forming a sphere around what had to be Naraku. It was then sent flying off, each piece shooting out into the night sky, whirling past Sesshomaru's head, his hair blowing violently from the blast. Naraku then jumped on him, his eyes still all ruby, and saw that part of the inner beast had already taken over, now even more tendrils forming on his body and even some on his face. Miasma leaked from his mouth as if blood.
"Huh," Sesshomaru said as Naraku pinned him down. "Even the so called powerful selves give in to the greed in their souls, Naraku this Sesshomaru is not pleased to be even dueling such a monster from the depths of hell." He then quickly impaled Naraku with not only Tokijin, but also Tenseiga, and tossing him to the side. Naraku lay still for a few moments, Sesshomaru got up and wiped the miasma that dripped on to him. He disgustingly flung it aside. As he turned to look back in the direction where Kagura fled, a gush of miasma that was like a web latched on to Sesshomaru's arm, sending Tokijin flying into the distance, Tenseiga was already in its sheath.
"So, you think that you have defeated the great Naraku, heh," Naraku coughed up, the remains of his kimono flying off, as the rest of his lower body had turned into a thorax of multiple legs and tentacles, beginning to surround Sesshomaru. "When I am done with you, not only will you remember Kagura, but you will be a part of me."
"Again you try to absorb me, eh Naraku," Sesshomaru smirked. "You will terribly fail once again, too bad my half-brother won't be here to let you get away." He said quietly, his canines beginning to grow bigger. A strong wave of energy flew out from Sesshomaru, and he looked down.
"Oh, what's this…?" Naraku laughed insanely. "Is the great, powerful Tai-Youkai feeling the energy being taken away?" The miasma web began to make a pumping action upwards into Naraku's chest. Sesshomaru however continued to look down, looking as if defeated, and his hair nestled all around him, like a willow tree. Naraku continued to make fun of him, jeering and scowling, until another wave of energy blasted throughout the area. "Now, do you feel it still?" Naraku was answered by a growl. Sesshomaru finally looked upward, his crescent and stripes deepening and his eyes turning a deep red. "You…Bastard…. how dare you touch her…" The web was torn apart.
In a moment, Sesshomaru like a jolt of lightning went up into the air, and made zigzags and flew until he came crashing down, in the appearance of a giant dog, his true self.
"So now who is overcome by the inner beast, Sesshomaru?" An evil voice coming from Naraku. The giant dog not only did sneer, but it lowered its head. "This Sesshomaru shall never overcome the inner beast, I am much more powerful than you will ever wish for." He then took Naraku into his great jaws and dug his fangs into Naraku, miasma and his own poison seeping everywhere.
"You fool, don't you know that I cannot be killed this way?" he laughed, sending tentacles to open up Sesshomaru's mouth. But then he stopped. My power, where is my power? Naraku thought to himself. That's when he understood. He's taking his power back, along with mine. No, you selfish bastard, Naraku heard Sesshomaru's voice in his head, I wouldn't even dare taking power that wasn't even suited for this Sesshomaru. He then tossed Naraku far off into the distance, past the castle, over the mountains, and then into the sea. He then gruffed and squinted the great red eyes, until he could see a tattered feather in the southwest. Kagura, it won't be long until he returns, I must seclude you safely. He then galloped across the castle, destroying it, and stepped on the undead corpse soldiers and he headed in the way to her.
Yay! I was finally able to write a not bad fighting scene! I'm not that much of a fighting person, but I had some help from friends. Chapter 6 will be up soon! (Hopefully)
