Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha
Chapter 30
Inuyasha blocked her attack with his arms. He winced when her claws hit the sleeves of his kimono. She jumped back again and landed. Taka jumped again and Inuyasha raised his arms to meet her. But Taka didn't attack him again. This time she pressured on her arm and bounded Kagome's way. Kagome gasped as Taka reached at her neck only grabbing the shards. Taka landed again behind then and smirked. She crushed the bottle and the glass cut her hands. Blood dripped from her hand and the shards let off a black aura.
"Good Taka," said Naraku.
"Taka!" exclaimed Kuragari, "stop this!"
Taka laughed.
"Why brother?" she asked.
Kuragari growled. Naraku laughed.
"There is no way to get her to stop Kuragari," he said.
"Silence!" Kuragari pulled out a throwing star and threw it at Naraku.
Naraku sat and smirked. Taka flipped back over them. In the air she kicked the star and it landed on the ground in front of Inuyasha.
"Naraku!" exclaimed Sango, "release Taka from this spell!"
Naraku laughed again.
"There is no way dear Sango," he said.
Sango growled. She raised the Hirakotsu.
"Sango don't!" cried Kagome, "Taka will block it and get hurt!"
Sango stopped and looked at Taka. Taka was practically ready to take on the Hirakotsu. Sango bit her lip.
"This isn't at all fair Naraku!" yelled Miroku.
"I know," said Naraku.
Kanna came from the forest and held out a hand to Taka. Taka dropped the bloody shards into her hand.
"Naraku!" snarled Inuyasha as he bounded towards Naraku claws ready.
Taka jumped and grabbed Inuyasha's wrist and pulled his arm behind his back. She put a foot on his back and held like that.
"Inuyasha!" cried Kagome.
"Kazanna!" Miroku removed the prayer beads and opened the tunnel of wind.
Taka released Inuyasha and jumped out of the way. Miroku covered it again.
"It's a good thing you recovered it," Kagura said as some poison insects came from the forest.
Miroku growled. Inuyasha stood again this time he went at Taka.
"Inuyasha! What are you doing!" exclaimed everyone.
"Just a second!" roared Inuyasha.
Taka tried blocking him but Inuyasha grabbed both Taka's arms and held her against a tree, hard. Taka snarled and kicked, but Inuyasha held tight.
"Get Naraku!" he yelled.
"Hirakotsu!" Sango threw the weapon at Naraku.
"Dance of the Blades!" the attack knocked the Hirakotsu off.
It slammed into a tree. Kirara snarled and jumped at Kagura. The two-tailed cat held her down snarling viciously. Kagura kicked Kirara off.
"Dance of the Blades!" she exclaimed again.
Kirara roared in pain.
"Kirara!"
Sango ran up to Kirara. Inuyasha continued to struggle holding Taka down.
Inuyasha stared at Taka. Taka growled and thrashed some more.
'In her eyes,' he thought, 'is the same Taka... but why is she like this?'
He seen a glint of red when her eyes reflected the fire light. He widened his eyes.
'I remember seeing that glint in someone's eyes before!' he thought.
xXx Flashback xXx
Inuyasha and Kagome entered a village. This was around the time they first met.
'I have no clue why I'm coming here,' thought Inuyasha with a growl, 'the only reason I'm following this wench is for the shards.'
A young man spotted them.
"Hello miss," he said with a smile to Kagome.
"Hello, I was wondering if you had a place for me and Inuyasha could stay for tonight," Kagome gestured to Inuyasha.
Inuyasha nodded at the man.
"Why do you wear such strange clothing?" the man asked ignoring Kagome's question.
"She's from a foreign place," Inuyasha backed her up.
"Oh I see. Well you may stay with me at my hut tonite."
"Alright," Kagome smiled.
They followed him to a small hut in the village. Kagome had told the young man Inuyasha wouldn't hurt anyone. He said his name was Yuki. A couple walked past the door and Yuki sighed sadly as he watched the woman.
"What's wrong?" Kagome asked.
"That woman that past by... her name is Noriko and she once said she loved me... but for some reason she started loving him," Yuki growled.
"Oh... I wonder why," said Kagome.
Later that evening Noriko walked in the hut.
"Good evening Yuki-chan," she said with a smile.
"Hi," replied Yuki.
The man Noriko was walking with walked in.
"Noriko!" he growled, "come on!"
"Coming, love," Noriko smiled and walked after him.
Her eyes reflected from Yuki's small fire and glinted red.

'What did that he do about it!' he thought, 'I can't remember!'
