Chapter 20

Akito and Renshin flew until they got to a large castle hidden in the mountains. Akito roared and the gates opened for them. Taka was asleep on Akito's back. He had put her there lightly when she fell asleep. He landed and transformed now holding Taka bridal style. Renshin also transformed.

"Young lords, your father wishes to see you," said a soldier.

The brothers nodded and walked towards the room where their father rested. Renshin opened the large doors for his nii-san. Akito walked in. Their father, Hatori, was a long snake like dragon youkai. He still had front and hind legs, and he was silver, meaning if he turned into his human looking form he'd be all silver

"Akito..." he growled.

"Hai father?"

"Did you get the inu youkai's hanyou son?"

"Iie..." Akito was about to continue when his father lost it.

"Nani! I want the hanyous energy to revive me! I told you to retrieve the hanyou!" his father's head moved right in front of Akito, "Do you not care for your own father?"

"Father... we wouldn't have been able to get the hanyou... his sword is powerful... the fang of his father. Instead we found her," he showed his father Taka, "she is as powerful as Inuyasha... I hear she has some of his blood."

Hatori sniffed Taka.

'You are right Akito. I scent Inuyasha's blood. She will have to do," he stood weakly, "get the sage."

Renshin nodded and walked out. Akito chained Taka's wrist's and ankles and lay her down. After a while Renshin returned with a old dragon youkai who was in his human looking form. He put a hand on Taka's forehead. Taka didn't awaken.

"I'll begin on your command Hatori- sama," said the elder.

"Now! Do it now! I want my strength!" snarled Hatori.

The elder nodded and chanted. Taka's eyes shot open. She cried out. Her energy was leaving her body.

'What's happening?' she thought, 'my energy!'

Hatori stood this time he was able to. He smirked. Taka struggled from the chains. She was getting weaker by the minute. Finally after about an hour of this Taka fell limp. Her energy was gone. She had barely enough energy to breathe. But she was. Very slowly.

"That's all of it... do you feel like your normal self my lord?" asked the elder.

He turned to see Hatori in his human like form. He was smirking.

"That was more then enough," he clenched his fist.

He looked in his mid thirties. He walked over to Taka. He lifted her chin with his hand.

"You've been a lot of help to me," he said with a grin.

Taka growled and failed to move her head (A/N she was that weak). Hatori released her head.

"When does she turn human?"

"I believe tomorrow night, the new moon," said Akito.

"Good then... we'll kill her then. Lock her up until then," he turned and walked out.

Akito called two guards to take Taka away and also left. Renshin walked after his brother with the sage.

The guards dragged Taka towards a jail cell. Taka opened her eyes.

"Inuyasha..." she whispered.

"What was that!" growled one of the guards.

When Taka wouldn't answer he kicked her in the stomach. She cried out. The guards threw her in the cell and locked the door.

"Pathetic hanyou!"

Taka rolled over with whatever strength she had so she was on her back. After a while she drifted to sleep.

xXx Next Morning xXx

Taka awoke. Her energy was back. She stood. She grabbed the bars and bent them open.

"They call me pathetic," she growled as she stepped out of the cell.

She ran down the halls.

"So many hallways and doors... they must've built the castle right in the mountain," she said to herself as she ran.

She ran down one more hall until she heard someone coming.

'Kuso!' she thought.

She looked around for the nearest door and opened it. She closed it behind her and whoever was coming past by. She sighed and turned. Akito lay on his bed. She was in his room! She held her breath. After a minute she figured he was asleep. She sighed again and walked up to him. He looked peaceful when he slept. She thought he looked... cute. But then his eyes shot open and he grabbed her arm.

"How the hell did you get out!" he growled.

Taka pulled away.

"Those bars were pathetic and my power is back," she growled back.

Akito drew his sword and jumped at her. Taka drew hers and threw him back with it. Akito jumped at her again. This time Taka used the black energy in her sword and he flew back again. His kimono looked like it had been burnt. Taka made a run for it but Akito grabbed her arm and dragged her back. Taka snarled and slashed at him with her sword. It missed and Akito threw her sword out of the way. He grabbed her other arm and held her by both. Taka struggled again. Akito growled and released her arms and grabbed her throat. Taka gasped for breath.

'Not again,' she thought.

She passed out again. Akito lay her on his bed and walked out of the room.

'She won't wake up for awhile now,' he thought as he walked down the hall.

xXx night xXx

Taka awoke as a human.

'Kuso!' she cursed.

She picked up her sword and walked to the door where she was met by Akito. He grabbed her arm and dragged her towards the 'great hall'. He pushed open the door and all the dragons sat in the room. They were all in their dragon forms. All were there except Renshin.

'Where is he!' thought Akito.

He threw Taka into the center of the hall. She cried out.

"Can we kill her now my lord?" snarled one.

Hatori smirked.

"Hai."

One dragon flew at Taka. She barely dodged. Another flew at her. They were taking turns attacking her. She managed to dodge every attack but finally she got hit. She cried out and fell. Another got her and she skidded across the floor. They continued getting her.

'Inuyasha!' she screamed in her head as another threw her against the wall.

She fell limp onto the floor. The dragons all laughed. She looked up at them. She coughed up some blood.

xXx Inuyasha xXx

Inuyasha was also human and he ran in the castle.

"Taka!" he called.

He then heard a lot of commotion coming from a pair of large doors. He opened them to see Taka being thrown into the air. She landed in the center of the room. She tried to go on her hands and knees but fell back onto her face. She opened her eyes. They were blank.

"Iie!" exclaimed Inuyasha.

He ran into the middle of the place and lifted Taka's body. Taka looked at him and smiled.

"Inu... yasha," her head then went limp on his lap.

"Taka!" sobbed Inuyasha.

Hatori snarled.

"Inuyasha!"

Inuyasha looked up.

"Perfect," Hatori smirked, "Now i can kill you to."

He flew at the two hanyou's.

"Father stop!" Renshin's voice rang out in the hall.

All the dragons looked to the door to see Renshin looking frightened.

"Renshin!" snarled Hatori, "I will not stop! I am going to kill Inuyasha!"

"Father... Please... Stop," he whispered.

Hatori snarled and was about to continue on when a quick movement sliced his younger son's head off. Sesshomaru stood where Renshin once stood.

"He said please," he said in his usual cold way.

"Renshin!" cried Hatori, "You killed my son! You shall pay."

Hatori charged at Sesshomaru.

"Go Inuyasha! Now!" Sesshomaru transformed to his dog form and met Hatori's attack with his own.

Inuyasha picked up Taka and ran out the door. Once outside he checked Taka's wounds. Nothing bad she would be better by the next day. He picked her up again and ran to a small cave just as it started to rain. He lay Taka down and sat next to her. He closed his eyes and went to sleep.

xXx Sesshomaru xXx

Sesshomaru stood in a mess of dead dragons. He transformed back.

"There's one missing," he said aloud.

Just then Akito came out of the shadow's with his sword drawn. Their swords clashed.

"You killed my father!" he swung at Sesshomaru, "You killed my brother!" he swung again.

"And now I'm going to kill you," said Sesshomaru as he put his sword away.

Akito ran at him again. But this time Sesshomaru stabbed him with his poison claw. Akito gasped and went limp. Sesshomaru pulled out his claws and walked away.
