He was pulled from the halls of the dungeon harshly. He was being lead the general and followed from behind with the torres. One turn of the corner and came to the door that lead to the outside. The door opened to the bright light of daylight. It was hard to focus to golden eyes when it was so bright as he was pushed and pull forward by the two demons. The crowd became amped up when he was pushed through. Inuyasha tried not loose it when he saw the sight of his half-brother. His hair was cut short and pulled back into a short ponytail. They left him ware his signature style white color with red sakura pattern on his right shoulder. But it was the look on his angelic face left him ready to a bloody rage. Sesshomaru's face was pale with no sign of hope like he was accepting his fate before. "What the fuck is that bastard thinking? He whisper low to Sumi and Bank. Sumi put her hand on Inuyasha's shoulder, "That is the look of losing everything and having nothing left to loose, Yasha. " He hand reached for the hilt on tessaiga, inching draw it and take action. Sumi puts her hand over his own. "Trust in Kagome, Inuyasha. She won't let him die. Believe in her." She whispered.
Up in the tower, Kagome watched as her lord was pushed through the crowd. She covered her mouth gasping at how he appeared. My love! She cries in her mind. The creature that followed him shocked her at an alarm rate. She didn't see this one coming the ancient torres follow right behind Sesshomaru. He was going to be a charge to execute him but she knew she had to try and succeed period. She quickly snapped her fingers and her arsenal trunk appeared before her. She wasn't planning to use this particular arrows til she vanquished Ryu but she had no choice. She pulled celestial arrows from the trunk and placed them in her quiver. "Gome why so worked up?" Jak asked. Kagome took a deep breath. "There is an ancient titan creature accompanying Sesshomaru. The Torres. I am going to need to defend more than ever as I focus on this creature, Jak." "He doesn't look too tough, just ugly!" He joked smiling as Kagome smacked his shoulder.
Sesshomaru was lead to the execution platform and walked up the small stairs. Up on the platform he could see the people in the crowd. There was a mixture of emotional hate, sadness smells hitting his nose. He was sad to him though he didn't see a familiar faces like Inuyasha. He thought he would able to get his far wells from him with one last glace. The traitor general stepped forward to address the crowd and his lord Ry who stood up on the main balcony with others. To my lord, lady and gentleman, we gather to witness a change today. The death and beginning of a new era where we will begin to reform the land of Japan." He looked at his lord and Ryu gave the nods to proceed. So general stepped back and the torres approached Sesshomaru. "It's time. Is your soul prepare, Sesshomaru?" Sesshomaru only nods. Drums began to pick up a steady beat. Solders came forth and bent Sesshomaru's body forward and over the chopping block.
Kagome notched her two celestial arrows across her silver bow as she watched the events unfold. She was taking deep breaths to ease her nerves. She was filled with rage and her grip tighten as she saw Sesshomaru was bent over the chopping block and the torres picked up his batter ax. The torres marched over to the side pulling the ax over his head ready to give the fatal blow.
Once the drum beat stopped, she pulled back the string of her bow, infused the two celestial arrows with her aura and released them through the tower window. The arrows went sailing in the air down below, making a direct hit on each shoulder of the torres. Upon shoulder contact, thunderous shock waves surged through the torres's body, paralyzing him. The creature roared with immense pain when sudden his arms exploded off his body and dropping the ax. She immediately pull another celestial arrow from her quiver onto her bow. She release it and it sailed through the air, hitting the mark on the forehead of the torres. It silenced the creature followed by its head exploding upon impacted.
The crowd disbursed within thinking and Bank, Inuyasha, and Sumi pushed forward on the platform releasing the disguised enchantments. Inuyasha unsheathed tessaiga, slashing the soldiers that head Sesshomaru down. Sumi reached his other side and infused her aura that broke this chains seal on him. Bank began defending off the platform from oncoming soldier attacks.
Ryu was enraged. How could this happen? There was no way with this careful drawn out plans. He witness a sniper from the western tower obliterate the executor like it was nothing. It had to be her. "GET YOUR ASSES UP TO THAT DAMN TOWER NOW!" He roar. Soldier reinforcements marched the way to the wall of the tower. Jak licked his lips with the beautiful sight before him. Pulling his sword out, he releases this swords abilities on the upcoming with little effort. He chuckled, "Keep them coming kiddos." Kagome was on an adrenaline rush as she let her arrows fly providing cover for her team on the ground collect Sesshomaru. She watched them leave the platform and retreat to armory hall. She immediately pick up her belongings, 'JAK, TIME TO GO!" Jak wasn't having much luck stopping though. He was still trying to fend off a hug group of soldiers. She joined him at the doorway of the tower letting her arrow fly again and caused explosion to finish off the group of soldiers. She grabbed him and jumped off the wall into the crowd of demons. They didn't have time for this so she pulled out her naginata and when to work with Jak to clear a path for them.
Ryu watched the pair leave the western tower, a man and woman. Its her. It had to be. He thought. He let out a roar that shook the castle. "Capture the shikon miko at all cost! She must no escape!" He slammed his fist on the balcony before retreating into the fortress.
Using the weapons, Kagome and Jak made a path toward to armory hall. Up in the air, Totsai called from above them, "Kagome!' She looked up and two swords came flying down towards her. Bakusaiga and tenseiga. She held them close as her and Jak ran while sending silent thank you to Totsai.
They banged on the heavy door. The door opened letting them through. Once the door closed, Kagome let out breath and turned to assess the situation. Sumi was working her healing magic on Sesshomaru who was resting on the armory back wall. He wasn't being very responsive to them efforts. Inuyasha kneel down, put his hand on his shoulder trying to get a response from him. "Hey bastard time to wake up." Sesshomaru instant grabbed him by the throat and growled, "Why fuck would you fools risk your hides on a lost cause?" With Inuyasha being chocked, Sumi rested her hand on her lord's shoulder. "Because you aren't one. "FOOLS" He roared out.
"Pick your head up Sesshomaru. The fact is we came to your aid. So deal with it." Kagome addressed him for the first time. Sesshomaru eyed her closely. He didn't recognize this woman. She knew this so she let her aura roll off he; reaching out to him like she used to. His golden eyes bleed through with green and red while narrowing at her attempt. It couldn't be her. He thought. She knelt before him removing her facial mask and hood. He was confirmed before his own eyes. The soft raven lock pulled back into a low bun, the deep blue eyes he dreamt about and the fair skin of his mate. He was enraged for her being here and yet is was relieved that he got to see her for himself.
"Damn it. You all were supposed to protect her not deliver to the enemy." He yelled out. Kagome reached out with her hand and grasped his chin, "They didn't have a say in this Maru." He could say nothing but stare back at her, "I told you will have to find the answer in your immortal soul to forgive me but I stand by your actions." His actions startled her though. He reached for her, pulling her in his embrace, and locked his mouth to hers. He opened his lips slightly, licking her bottom lip and she accepted his invitation to deepen this kiss. The instant her mouthed, his tongue swept in to devour her. The twisting of their tongues, the slightest grazing her tongue over his fangs caused a grumble from his chest and soft from her. He released her while replying, "You have a lot to answer after this is, Koi." She could only nod her head in acceptance.
She pulled herself from him as they both got to their feet. Kagome's hands began to form shapes being forth her aura and an enchanted trunk appeared. With her hand she opened the trunk and reveals a new set of armor for Sesshomaru. "We don't have much time. You need to battle ready." He smirk, "Help your lord put it on, miko!" he taunted playfully before giving her light kiss. Piece by piece the armor with put into place from the different ties and straps and he became to war lord named the killing perfect everyone knew he was. She asked for him to kneel for her and he obliged her. She pulled the tie in his silver hair and regrouped it to being half pulled back. "Still soft as I remember." She whispered. He brought her hand to his lips and kissed it. "it s hair, Koi. It will grow back." He stood to his full height looking like another split image of his father. She handed off bakusagia and tensegia to him. The swords hummed on contract acknowledging their master. The group gathered around waiting for the next step.
