"You fools are so pathetic!" seethed Kagura. "You would have done well to sly them all. Now as you fight me your dear Kagome is having her should sucked out of her body!" What?! "The same can be said for all these villagers, a body without a soul is like a corpse," she said sweetly. Agh, so she is the one who's controlling them.
"What!" yelled Inuyasha. So you're the one who is controlling these people!" Kagura smiled nodding at him.
"You're all fools. Kill them then these humans wouldn't keep going after you. Oh well if you were capable of killing them you would have already done it by now," Kagura hissed, her snake-like fingers curling with relish. I spat at her.
"Heh don't underestimate us witch," I smirked, showing my teeth at her. She frowned. Inuyasha took out his Tetssaiga nearing himself in Kagura's direction.
"Kaname, Miroku, go check on the girls and help them!" he shouted at us, as he blocked us from Kagura's sight. Miroku nodded and started running toward the house. I watched him go, throwing a stone at the man who tried to hit him. "Kaname go now!" Inuyasha yelled.
"No way in hell, I have a score to settle with this witch," I said glaring in Kagura's direction. "Don't you dare try to change my mind. Miroku is the best person to help Kagome, this demon I'm sensing. . . its different you can't just attack it." Inuyasha said nothing but just stared at my face, as if looking for an explanation. He sniffed the air looking at the direction of the house quickly right before we both heard Kagura yell, "DANCE OF BLADES."
We both jumped to the side dodging the slashing of the white blades that came from her fan. I unsheathed my sword quickly, keeping my sheath on my other hand as a guard. She sent more slashes of blades towards my and Inuyasha's direction. I blocked each with my sword, making my way to her seeing as Inuyasha was getting most of the blows. She is going easy on me, why? Is she underestimating me? The hairs on my nape rose, as I felt that something was wrong. I stopped abruptly. I looked around me and noticed more men coming at me. Damn that woman, she intends to use the humans as her shield. I heard someone from behind me and I quickly went to block the attack. Dammit!
"Inuyasha lower your sword Kagura is trying to get you to kill the humans! We have to get them out of the way otherwise we'll have no-"
"Dance of Blades!" Cursing under my breath, I quickly grabbed the man in front of me and pushed him away. I rolled down missing the blades by mere inches. "Damn you you wench," I seethed getting up to rush to Inuyasha. She kept attacking us with her blades again and again, trying to get us to kill the humans. Why is she so desperate for us to try and get a chance to attack her?
'Inuyasha distract her, I'm going to deal with the men there aren't as many now," I whispered getting behind him and running to deal with the men. It didn't take long, as they seemed so droopy that one hit was enough to knock them down. I turned back to see that Inuyasha had gotten closer to Kagura, readying his sword to attack. A huge gust of wind started to swirl around centered at where Kagura and Inuyasha were.
"What's wrong Inuyasha, why aren't you using your wind scar don't tell me your injury is still there," she said smiling cruelly. What his arm? I looked at his arm noticing him glanced at it. I backed away knowing that this attack would be dangerous.
Something is wrong, why is Kagura just letting herself be the target. This doesn't make any sense.
"Kaname!" a voice yelled from behind. I looked back to see Miroku holding Kagome and Kirara holding both Sango and Koharu unconscious. What the hell?
"Miroku, Shippou what happened? Was there a demon there?" I asked, my eyes widening at how cold and pale they all were. Miroku nodded, placing Kagome down on the ground.
"Kaname we have to stop Inuyasha, there is a demon that has a mirror that sucks souls. I tried to attack her but it rebashed. Any demonic energy that is sent her way is reflected. Don't let her appearance fool you she may appear like a child but she is indeed Naraku's incarnation." What! So that was the uneasy feeling I was getting. I looked back at Inuyasha as he was about to raise his sword. NO!
I started to run at Inuyasha's direction, seeing Kagura switch sides. NO INUYASHA IT'S A TRAP! But before I could yell that out Inuyasha, had swung his sword releasing a trembling energy that seared the ground with slashes. As it neared Kagura, she turned and a little girl, white as a ghost holding a mirror appeared. She had a vacant expression, just standing there, as the wind scar cam at her. When it approached it slowly disappeared and then came back, coming at us in an alarming speed. I ran at Inuyasha trying to grab him and drag him away. No! Don't let Inuyasha die! No! That wench will not win! Protect him! Protect us!
A glow of green energy released from my hands, appearing in front of Inuyasha, partially blocking the blow from the wind scar. The wind scar began to come at me and pain began to come from all sides of my body. I could feel myself being forced backward and hitting the ground hard. Agh, damn. Everything went black for a little bit, before I heard Miroku's voice in the distance. I struggled to open my eyes seeing Miroku and Shippou looking at my face, worry stretched across their expression.
"Wha- agh damn that really hit," I spat out blood on the ground, getting to my feet, pulling all my weight on Miroku's shoulder. I was bleeding along my arm, and I could feel that the cuts on my shoulders had opened. I could also tell that I had cuts all over, but I couldn't pay any mind to those. I looked at where Inuyasha had been before. Dust was everywhere, blocking our sight. The Earth was marked with what looked like cracks, and huge ones.
GASP. There was Inuyasha laying on the ground, motionless, and his eyes vacant. "INUYASHA!" we all yelled, including Kagome, who seemed to have woken up. I started to ran at his direction, my eyes all on inuyasha's still form. I fell at him looking at where he was hurt. He was cut all over, especially in the rib regions, from what I could assess. His eyes were open, but empty. I quickly checked for a pulse, dread etching at my stomach. I cried out in relief feeling the rhythmic beating of his pulse. His pulse is weak we have to get him out of here.
The smell suddenly began to creep up as Miroku and Shippou approached, looking over inuyasha. That scent! That poison. I looked up at the sky, as the smell was getting stronger and stronger. "Something is coming," I said getting up and unsheathing my sword. Miroku nodded standing beside me and beginning to touch his hand to release the wind tunnel. "Shippou watch over Inuyasha and Kagome," I whispered seeing that Kagome was a few feet away, struggling to stay awake.
A violent purple spread across the sky, displaying a tornado of some kind. The smell was horrid and foul, burning the insides of my nose. I grew nauseous as the tornado descended more violently are Kagura and the white girl demon. I swallowed back bile as a figure appeared out of the blackish smoke. "AAAHH," I gasped, feeling the ominous demonic aura around the man there. His eyes glowed a bright red, glancing at the body at our feet that was Inuyasha. He had black hair and almond shaped eyes, that accompanied his strong jaw line. He had the form of a human, but the look on his face didn't say so. His eyes went to me as I put myself between Inuyasha and him.
"Its him," growled Miroku in contempt, "Naraku." I glared at the demon, realizing what this man was. So this is the demon who brought me here is it? I tightened the grip on my sword, ignoring the blasts if pain that were radiating throughout my body. Naraku let out an evil smile, while keeping his eyes on me. He started to laugh maliciously, a noise that sounded disgusting indeed.
"Hahahahaha that was indeed simple enough. I came to ask Inuyasha himself what it felt like to have all of your power turned against you, but it seems the fool died before I could." I surveyed me with his eyes, as if trying to figure out a puzzle. "It seems though Inuyasha would have been put to pieces would it not had been for the barrier this woman put to protect him."
"Was it worth it dear Kaname? To have yourself injuries that put you in such extreme pain as this?" Disgusted I spat at the floor, revealing my teeth. Naraku laughed at this. "Well what will you do now that Kanna has stolen your friends souls and Inuyasha is dead?"
"Heh what the hell is this Miroku?" I said calmly, straightening my stance. "You told me we were dealing with an ominous demon of some sort. All I see before me is a tasteless beast who doesn't know when to shut up." Kagura laughed at that.
"Well what do you know this human can talk big, but se if she can back it up," Kagura started to open her fan, but Naraku rose his hand to stop her.
"I see, now you can assess that drawing your wind tunnel is foolish young monk," exclaimed Naraku, turning his head at Kanna. I gasped turning at Miroku as his expression darkened. That's right, the souls, they are stuck in there.
"Heh you coward making yourself some puppets to do your dirty work I can see," smirking Naraku.
"Oh and what exactly am I to waste my time on I wonder? You?"
"Heh you underestimate me," I said. Naraku laughed.
"No, but you are the woman Utsugi spoke of and we must take you," he growled. Suddenly a huge gust of poison burst from his hand, aiming directly at me. I wasted no time, raising my hands and screaming in the inside of my brain to raise a shield from before. PROTECT ME! A large green screen appeared and I directed all my attention on it, not letting Naraku's cackling distract me. I gritted my teeth at he pain coursing through my shoulders, and kept my eyes on the screen. The miasma was being repelled but just barely, as I could still smell that foul odor just inches from me and the wall. "Impressive, Kaname but not enough I might add." He suddenly appeared right in from of the shield taking out a sword of his own. What the hell?!
"MIROKU! SHIPPOU! TAKE INUYASHA A RUN NOW!" I screamed backing away slashing at Naraku. He blocked my attack, cackling softly. Oh no my body can't take this much damage. I fell over from behind, just as Naraku was about to take a grab at me.
A flash of light whipped through the air hitting Naraku. He backed away hissing. Gasping in pain, I turned to see Kagome aiming another arrowing at Kanna's direction. "Hah I wonder what Kikyo would say to this indeed, seeing her beloved fall from the power I received from her jewel shards," Naraku said smugly. He took out a little jewel that looked chipped at the side. This must be the Sacred Jewel. "She really is some piece of work that Kikyo."
"Kk Kikyo," whispered a voice. I looked behind me to see Inuyasha's eyes open slowly, shock stretching throughout his features.
"Inuyasha, your alive thank the heavens," shouted Shippou. I sighed in relief, turning back to see Naraku completely relaxed as before. I could hear Inuyasha's grunts of pain as he struggled to get up.
"I'm tired of hearing your voice, just die already," Kagome muttered drawing another arrow at Naraku's direction.
