Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha

Chapter 35

Kagome held her neck as her and her new mate walked into camp. She sat next to Taka and Kuragari sat next to her. Taka sniffed. Inuyasha also seemed to catch the scent and also sniffed. Taka leaned over to Kagome and sniffed again. The mark was on Kagome's left side so Taka didn't see it, for she was on the right.

"Nani?" asked Kagome nervously.

"He marked you didn't he?" Taka smirked.

"Eh?" Kagome blushed.

"Hai sister, I did," Kuragari smirked, "we are now mates."

Inuyasha tapped Taka's shoulder and pretended to faint again. Taka snickered.

"So when are you going to mark Taka, Inuyasha?" Miroku seen them laughing and grinned.

Both of them shut up and blushed. Sango and Miroku laughed.

"What about you and Sango, Miroku?" Kagome grinned.

Sango blushed but Miroku smiled widely.

"Have no worry Kagome-chan," Miroku said happily, "I'll mark her... if you know what I mean," he winked.

Taka and Inuyasha burst out laughing again.

"Hentai!" Sango picked up the Hirakotsu and hit him yet again.

Taka and Inuyasha still kept laughing. Kagome rolled her eyes.

"Inuyasha... osuwari," she said softly.

Inuyasha smashed into the ground and Taka continued laughing. Miroku closed his eyes in annoyance. He stood and walked Taka's way.

WHACK!

Taka was face first on the ground next to Inuyasha.

"Miroku!" Taka growled as she looked up.

Miroku smirked. Taka was about to go after him when Kuragari grabbed the back of her kimono. She was running in one spot for a second before she sat again. Miroku stuck out his tongue playfully. Taka rolled her eyes.

"Come on you girls," Kagome said with a laugh, "Let's go for a bath."

Taka and Sango stood and they followed Kagome off to find hot springs. They took of their clothes and sat in the hot water. Taka sighed. They sat in silence for awhile. Taka twitched her ear and looked around.

"You feel it to?" Kagome asked.

"Hai... a youkai presence," said Sango.

"And it smells a lot like Naraku," Taka growled.

They got out of the water and got dressed. They made their way back to camp. Inuyasha snarled and turned. His look softened when he seen it was them.

"Something's here," he growled.

Miroku kept looking around cautiously. Kuragari walked up to Kagome. Just then a tree root burst from the ground wrapping around Kagome. She screamed.

"Kagome!" snarled Kuragari as he slashed the root.

He caught Kagome bridal style. He looked over his shoulder. A large flower bud burst from the ground and opened revealing a young girl. She had green hair and red eyes. She was cute... but she looked evil. She wore a pink necklace and a green fairy like dress practically made of leaves and flowers. She sat in the center of the flower and smiled.

"My name is Chika," she said, "that was really mean of you... slashing at my tree root."

"You're an incarnation of Naraku aren't you!" snarled Inuyasha.

She laughed.

"How did you guess?"

"You reek of his scent," growled Taka.

Another flower blew up from the ground. It opened and a teenage looking girl sat in it. She had light pink hair and wore the same type of clothes as Chika. Her eyes wear red. She smirked.

"You must be Taka," she said to Taka, "I am Ayaka. Master Naraku sent us to kill you for being a fool and rejecting loyalty to him."

Taka snarled at them.

"Oh that's not nice to go snarling at us," said Chika.

"We might just get mad!" Ayaka threw her arm above her head and as she did more roots burst out at Taka.

Taka dodged them and her hands burst to flames as she slashed at them. She snarled again.

"Hirakotsu!" Sango slashed at some vines sent at her.

Taka continued slashing and burning whatever was thrown at her. Chika took out a flower and blew it. The petals turned razor sharp and slashed at Taka (got the idea from the first movie). Inuyasha made for Ayaka. A shield of hard vines blocked her. Everyone continued fighting off the vines. Isamu and Kirara transformed snarling and biting the vines. Taka cried out and the fire went out on her hands. She stared at them. They were burnt. She growled.

'I can't keep the flame on long without burning?' she thought as she stared at the burnt flesh.

"Don't look away," said Chika with a smirk.

A sharp vine shot at Taka and stabbed her through the stomach and lifted her to the sky. She cried out.

"Taka!" exclaimed Inuyasha as he blocked three vines that shot at him.

"Still want to make us mad?" asked Ayaka.

"Go to hell," growled Taka.

"Oh... that's not nice at all," Chika sent another at her.

Taka cried out and slashed at one. It withered and fell back to the ground. She got the other one and fell to the ground. She moaned and tried to get up. She collapsed in her own blood. She was unconscious.

"Taka!" Inuyasha slashed through some more vines and grabbed Taka.

From both the wounds she got she was bleeding heavily. More vines shot at Taka. Inuyasha growled and moved in their way. He slashed through them.

"You can't keep this up much longer, can you Inuyasha?" Ayaka smirked.

Inuyasha fell to one knee and panted. He knew he couldn't. He looked back at Taka.

'Can you protect the one you love?' a strong male voice played in his head.

He looked around to see Isamu staring at him.

"I don't know," said Inuyasha.

'You must prove yourself, prove you really love her,' Isamu looked away and slashed at more vines.

Inuyasha stood. He staggered for a second but then he stood straight. He growled when three more vines flew at them.

"Iron reaver!" he slashed destroying them.

Chika growled.

"You should be dead," she growled, "so die!"

More vines flew their way. Inuyasha drew the Tetsusaiga and slashed through everyone of them. Kuragari glanced his way. Then at Isamu, who watched Inuyasha at the corner of his eye intently as he fought. Kuragari smiled.

"Hai Isamu, make sure he proves himself before you change," he said.

Isamu twitched his ear and nodded. Inuyasha roared angrily, racing at the sisters while slashing through the vines and roots.

"Heh," Ayaka smirked, "You should keep an eye one her."

Inuyasha gasped and looked back. Three large sharp looking roots blasted from the ground and shot swiftly at Taka. He ran back and grasped her, shielding her with his back. One vine shot into his back. He gasped. The second followed and after that the third. He panted and blood dripped from his back to the ground. Isamu narrowed his eyes.

'That's all the proof I need,' his voice played in Inuyasha's head again.

next chappie you get to see Isamu's strongest and final form :) please read and review
