Last:
Ryukotsusei had the same characteristics that Kagura had when she was controlled by the Beasts of Hell and was more powerful than ever.
Now:
The sounds of battle rang through the clearing as the Inutachi attacked the dragon.
The Inutachi were having a difficult time trying to defeat the dragon. With rock hard skin and a drastic increase in power, things were not looking good. Nothing seemed to get through the dragon's thick armor-like scales.
The dragon was furious. His rage at seeing his old enemies was bad enough. With the Beasts of Hell in control, and the power gained with, he was confident he could win. He swung his long tail down upon the group, forcing them to scatter to avoid being crushed. Ryukotsusei's dragon mouth opened and a thick, green haze spewed out, but Kagura summoned a rush of wind to dissipate the poison before it could reach them.
"Reaper's Twister!"
"Wind Scar!"
"Bakusaiga!"
"Dance of the Dragon!"
"Hiraikotsu!"
"Angel's Revenge!"
Everyone attacked at once, all aiming for the mask-face in the center of his forehead. Fortunately, they managed to land a hit and injured the dragon. But once the mask felt the pain of their combined attacks, his eyes flashed with anger. Rykotsusei's large body began to emit a bright red glow. The very ground began to tremble as he powered up, the Hell spawns within him edging him on to use one of their attacks instead of his yoki bullets.
Inuyasha sensed the rise in the Dragon Daiyoukai's power. "Get behind me! He's gonna use one of his demonic attacks!" He placed both hands on Tetsusaiga's hilt and smelt the power of the Wind Scar wrap around the blade in preparation for the Backlash Wave.
While he would not voice it at the moment, Touga was proud of his youngest son. Inuyasha surely was living up to his name despite the bratty attitude. Though he knew that Inuyasha most likely would not have come so far without the help of his friends, especially Kagome. She was the one who helped him through his darkest of times and he was grateful for her. Without her his son may have not survived this cruel world. Touga moved to stand slightly behind Inuyasha when something smelt off about Ryukotsusei's attack. The scent of his power was different than what he remembered. "Inuyasha!"
The dragon fired off his attack, a glowing red orb surrounded by a black aura.
"Backlash Wave!" the hanyou cried out, swinging Tetsusaiga before his father's words reached him. He waited for the technique to swirl into the many tornadoes that would rip the hellish youkai apart, but his eyes widened when the demon's attack absorbed his Backlash Wave, turning it into a swirling vortex of red. He froze when the attack neared him.
Shiori flew towards her beloved, her scythe raised above her head. "Angel's Shield!" She stood her ground as her barriers formed around her companions, negating the attack. The koumori hanyou grit her teeth at the sheer weight and pressure of Ryukotsusei's attack as it tried to push her back. "I...won't...let...you...hurt my Inuyasha!" she screamed as she pushed the swirling vortex back.
Kagome could not help the smile that tilted at her lips at Shiori's confession. They seriously were such a cute couple. Her eyes turned hard as she reached for her long bow and pulled an arrow out of her quiver. "Ryukotsusei!" She yelled as she notched her arrow into place, pulling the string taut. "You can tell the hell spawns that we will destroy them and save Sesshoumaru's mother!" With those words said, she fired her hama no ya, the glittering pink light trailing after it.
Ryukotsusei let out a pained wail when the sacred arrow pierced his flesh. He clawed at the thin weapon, trying to dislodge it before it could purify his body. While his thick skin prevented many things from hurting him, the arrow of a miko could really do some serious damage to him. After ridding his body of the hama no ya, he turned his burning red eyes down at the group. "Damn you!" he cursed them, still feeling the effects of the purification running through his veins. "We will settle this next time!"
When the dragon disappeared in a cloud of black mist, the inu-taichi let out a breath of relief. That battle was so much harder than what it should have been. If Shiori had not been with them, they probably all would have died when the Backlash Wave was absorbed into Ryukotsusei's attack. That was the main topic of their current situation. Everyone was so sure that the Backlash Wave was the key to defeating the dragon, but it was not.
"How the hell did that bastard absorb my attack like that?" Inuyasha fumed, throwing his hands into the air and pacing the area.
Touga sat down as his brow slowly began to twitch from his child's whining. It was clear that the reason how Ryukotsusei was able to do such a thing was that the attack was hell spawn acquired and not youki-based. He shot Shiori a look when she tried to calm her boyfriend down when she sensed the rise in the older inu's agitation. Quicker than what the eye could see, Touga had his younger son bent over his knee, Tetsusaiga posed to strike him on the rear. "Stop your whining, pup or I'll be forced to punish you."
That ended Inuyasha's bratty behaviour as fear settled in his soul. After that last bout of sword spanking, the hanyou has tried to refrain from doing anything that would piss his old man off. In a meek voice that he did not even know he possessed, Inuyasha said, "Yes, Father."
Everyone erupted into laughter as the tension broke.
