Chapter 9
AN: Happy Holidays and Happy New Year Everyone. Hopefully everyone is doing well and is happy. I didn't really plan much a scene for this chapter. The writing just got carried away. But I'm very proud out it. Read and review for sooner updates.
The armory walls began to shake and the ceiling had stones fall little by little. The group didn't have much time left considering the walls were starting to crumble. Dressed in his new battle attire, Sesshomaru felt reborn with a new determination in his golden eyes. He placed bakusagia and tenegia at his left hip readying himself to the upcoming fight outside. Observing the other party members, he noticed Kagome strategizing with Jak and Bank about escape routes. Sumi leaves Inuyasha's side and joins in the discussion while Sesshomaru comes up on Kagome's left side. "Bank and Jak will be up front of the group creating a path to the routed exit after Sesshomaru releases bakusagia. I will keep our defense stable. Sumi and Inuyasha will cover the rear from any cross fire. Understood?" Kagome explained. They all nodded with the acceptation of Sesshomaru. He never knew Kagome to be much for battle strategies.
The celestial seals on the wall began to weaken around the room Kagome noticed. She examined the seal with her eyes one final time before placing her hood and mask back on. "We don't have much time. Let's move." She commanded as she formed her hands in to different shapes and opened a portal on the east wall of the armory. Bank and Jak first jump through followed by Kagome Sesshomaru, Inuyasha and Sumi before the portal closed behind them. Out the other side, they landed in the alley way close to the eastern wall of the fortress.
A serpent snarl was heard through the fortress as soldiers filled the streets. Kagome and her group were move as fast as their feet could carry them without drawing attention. Making it to eastern gate, they entered an open clearing where they were easily spotted. Enemy soldiers flooded in from every direction as a giant purple dragon circled above them. Sesshomaru unsheathed bakusagia instantly, racing forward, "Move!" He commanded bring his sword down as Bank and Jak side stepped out of the way. Bakusagia's green aura was released, destroying every living creature in its path and vaporizing the eastern gate.
The dragon from upon screaked as it took a nose dive. It came crashing down on the barrier protecting the group; sending out massive pink lightning around the barrier. Kagome threw up her hands reinforcing the barrier with her celestial energy. Moment pass, blood began to drip from her blue eyes as she let out a loud whimper. Sesshomaru glanced in the direction of his mate witnessing her struggle and his golden orbs bled through colors of green and red.
Inuyasha swung his sword in the direction of the massive beast hoping to cause major hit. "Wind Scar!" His sword energy wrapped around the dragon, slashing the right shoulder of the dragon. It screamed out in pain as Sesshomaru and Sumi reached for Kagome to steady her. Sumi rested her hand to on Kagome's shoulder to release a healing aura; speeding up her healing. Kagome fell to one knee as she pulled one of her arms down the reach behind her back for her naginata. "Sesshomaru, Sumi step back!" she grunted out but they didn't listen. She expanded the chain links on her naginata as a pink celestial seal lit up underneath her. "Let's play your shit head! REAP WITH FEAR!"
With her aura surging through her weapon, the chain rooted in the earth and shot up fifty feet away from her; latching onto the giant beast. Her hooded cloak and mask was shredded from her head revealing her now unbowed raven hair. Her blue were lit to a floral pink as her energizing aura flung all her allies out of her barrier as it shattered.
Sesshomaru fell to one knee, releasing his green aura into bakusagia to steady himself from being thrown back anymore. He glanced around, watching his allies being hurled against the wall. Kagome got to her feet glaring at the beast in front of her as she yanked on the chain to choke out it out. But what she didn't count on was the dragon's shape shifting back into human form. Sitting back on his knees was Lord Ryu with a devilish smirk in his black Japanese clothing and his purple hair pulled back in a high braid. Staring off into his black abyss eyes, she found nothing but the promise of agonizing pain.
"Oh my dearest Kagome! Who would have thought you be such spitfire?" The dragon lord laughed out. He grasped her weapons chain and gave a forceful yank, knocking her off balance and falling toward his direction. A green blur rushed into between them. Lord Ryu reacted quick pulling out his katana from his side as the enchanted chain dissolved from his body. Sesshomaru's bakusagia and the dragon lord's katana began to clash at a quick pace.
In the distance Bank and Jak dashed toward Kagome's exhausted side. "She is drained she have never released this much of your energy before. We need to get out of here." Bank stated bluntly. Jak nods in agreement while picking Kagome up under each shoulder. "How in the fuck are we supposed to get out of here with her weak?" Inuyasha spoke up. Kagome lifted her head and grunted out, "A….pp..oorrtal….hold me up steady please." She weakly raised her hands up trying to work to last of her celestial magic. It took a few tries when finally a portal appeared.
Back and forth the demon lords' battle fought on. Sesshomaru's release his acid whip out, wrapped around Ryu's left shoulder. The whips acid ate all the way through dragon's shoulder joint; ripping it completely from his body. A rippling roar came from Ryu's throat from the immense pain. He dropped his katana cuddling his shoulder wound as he glared up at the killing perfection. "Vermin…you will never have what is mine." Sesshomaru growled out. "Oh but why not? She is such a fine specimen!" Ryu mocked while letting go of his shoulder and dropping his hand behind his lower back. He silently drew out his poisonous dagger from its sheath; trying not to be noticed. Sesshomaru stepped forward ready to end this nightmare once and for all. With quick reflexes, Ryu drew back the dagger and flung it in the direction of the inu lord. Sesshomaru flashed stepped to left; missing him completely.
The dagger went sailing in the air and embedded three quarter of itself in Kagome's back; dead center on her left side. Kagome's raven crown tilted upward to the sky with a silent scream as her blue eyes widened. Splashed of her blood dripped down into the dirt as she began to go limp between Bank and Jak. The portal began to dissipate flashing pink lightning around it. Sesshomaru gave a thundering snarl while rushing towards her. One had time to think but Inuyasha and Sumi so they grabbed a hold of each ally and threw them through the portal before it closed behind them.
Out on the other side of portal, everyone landed on their banks or sides in front of the InuKimi's Sky Palace. Inuyasha lifted his head, "What the fuck just happened…." He was cut off by Sumi's hand covering his mouth. Everyone was wide eyed to the sight before them. Sesshomaru was sitting with Kagome placed in his lap; his arms wrapped around her. He hide his face in her raven hairs as he cried letting out sorrowful whimper.
