Inuyasha rushed into the hut to put on his shirt, as I helped Kagome put Sango onto Kirara. Agh. A sharp pain pierced my abdomen when I got on Kirara. Damn, I may be healed of my major wounds, but these bruises are still brutal. No one noticed as we all headed towards the direction of the village. Screams could be heard in the distance. "Damn," I muttered as they seemed to get louder and louder. Cries of pain and fight kept coming again and again, making us all agitated. Inuyasha began to run faster, getting far enough for us not to see him. A metallic smell began to roam in the air, getting stronger as we got closer to the village. This scent, I thought. That can't be. . . blood?
"I can smell blood, and lots of it. I can also smell the stench of that mongrel Naraku," I muttered. "Disgusting piece of filth, what the hell has he done now." Suddenly, a large figure stood before us as we past be a collapsed house. It was the most hideous thing I had seen in all of my life. A huge purple monster stood on its short legs, crouched ready to fight. The mark of a spider spread throughout his back side. "That thing. . . " I gasped.
"Another one of Naraku's incarnations I suspect," said Miroku as he put his hand over his mouth. The destroyed town reeked of decay, making my eyes burn and become teary. There were no bodies in sight, but those of two children that were hiding behind Inuyasha's body.
The monster cackled at Inuyasha, not turning to acknowledge our presence. "You must Naraku's third incarnation," Inuyasha yelled confidently, raising his sword to a fighting stance. The monster laughed again, its yellow teeth gleaming menacingly.
"You were thinking that I dodged the Tetsaiga. You were surprised at how quickly I moved despite my large size," the demon chided. He laughed some more approaching Inuyasha. "Just as you expect I able to read the minds of others Inuyasha. My sisters Kanna and Kagura were only the beginning." The demon turned its head to look at us, its huge red eyes narrowing at Sango and I. So he is trying to figure us out fast to finish his mission. Is that all Naraku is after? Killing us and showing off his power? What would be the point in that exactly? I stared back at the demon defiantly, grasping my sword in a death grip. What are you after? The demon's mouth widened to what seemed to be a wide smile, but the sight was too disgusting to me to call it that. I suddenly got irritated at the thing, getting the urge to go up to Inuyasha myself. I decided to address the beast. What are you, you filthy demon! The demon merely cackled some more, before turning back to Inuyasha. "I am called Koshinki, and the one who will be your demise."
Pissed off I slid off Kirara, and started to walk towards the battle, but Miroku came in front of me, blocking my way. "What the hell are you doing!" I whispered, punching him in the shoulder, so as to move him. He didn't budge, coming over to grip my shoulders tightly. He stared at my face, his eyes serious with concern.
"Do not go in, we should let Inuyasha fight this he wouldn't allow it if you interfered." I raise my hands shoving him at the chest, trying to get past.
"Move, " I snarled at him, pissed that he would dare to hold me back. "You think I give a damn what Inuyasha thinks right now, that thing isn't here to simply kill us." Miroku looked confused at this, loosening his grip on me. I yanked myself away from him, brushing at my clothes. I started to walk ahead, but again he blocked my way.
"What do you mean he isn't here to simply kill us? He came at a time-" Suddenly the ground began to shake violently making us nearly fall. I turned my head to see that Inuyasha was desperately trying to hit Koshinki, but Koshinka was like a blurr. Is that his speed? How can he be this fast with that size of his? Koshink jumped towards Inuyasha, intending to crush him, but was a second too late as Inuyasha had dodged him by jumping away. Inuyasha landed on his knees in front of us breathing heavier, clutching his chest tightly. He is in pain, I thought. That barrier I- I stopped myself realizing that Koshinki would hear me. Clear your head. Think useless things, uh, ponies! Pink pink ponies! How amazing they are! I started to repeat this again and again in my head, as I watched Inuyasha struggled to get to his feet.
Koshinki laughed maliciously at Inuyasha, taking his time to attack again. This bastard, he is playing with Inuyasha. Ah no! Ponies ponies! I put my hands on each side of my head, shutting my eyes tightly. "Ah, so your injuries from your very own wind scar are holding you back. Haha I know everything that crosses your mind. You seem to be suffering greatly, tell me could this be the end of you." Kashinki laughed some more, his eyes gleaming with delight at the sight of Inuyasha's pain. Inuyasha spat at the floor, getting to his feet. Irritation spread across his face, his yellow eyes narrowing at Koshinki with a murderous intent. He ran at Koshinki, letting out a roar as he swung his sword at the monster. Koshinki didn't move, instead he merely looked at Inuyasha approaching with his fangs spreading into a wide grin.
"Oh crap, Inuyasha don't!" I yelled, but it was too late as Koshinki disappeared at swung his hand at Inuyasha pushing him far off. Inuyasha landed hard lying there still for a few seconds, before I saw him try to get up. Damn that thing. I grabbed my sword as Koshinki raised his hand to strike Inuyasha again. But when I went to stab at Koshinki, he disappeared. ''Dammit,"I muttered knowing where he would appear. I quickly dropped to the ground to dodge the beast claws; rolling away towards Inuyasha, I glared annoyed at its persistance. "Heh clever little beast aren't you," I said smirking. I proceeded to block Koshinki's view of Inuyasha as he tried to get up. "You alright," I whispered. I heard Inuyasha grunt and turned back to Koshinki, readying my sword.
"You idiot I told you I could handle it, didn't I?" growled Inuyasha standing next to me. I ignored him concentrating at Koshinki, as he just stood there smiling at me. "Hey are you listening to me, go back and protect the others, your wounds haven't healed!" Inuyasha yelled. I laughed bitterly, glancing at him.
"Your one to talk," nodding my head at his torso, which was threatening to bleed again. I turned back to Koshinki, startled that he hadn't attacked again. "So Naraku sent you to kill us, but that couldn't have been all? Why are you holding back Koshinki?" I sneered at him as he was getting closer to the others. He ignored my questions and started to turn to acknowledge the others.
"Miroku I can hear you very clearly, you want to release the wind tunnel, but you can't be that foolish can you?" Puzzled I looked at saw that there were a number of bees swarming in the air. "Sucking them in would kill you wouldn't it?" Miroku glared at Koshinki, his arm itching to release the beads sealing his power.
"Kagome I wouldn't release any arrows or I'll kill you on the spot. Sango you are way to injured to even attack me so don't waste my time." Koshinki turned again to face Inuyasha and I. Inuyasha laughed.
"You talk big for a demon that's about to die that is!" he cackled standing in front of me again. Koshinki laughed readying himself to fight.
"So you've figured it out have you? Yes I was sent here to kill you and take that girl behind you back to Naraku, and you know this don't you Kaname?" What! Take me back, why that arrogant little. . . Koshinki laughed menacingly. "Now I shall eat you all and force this half-demon back to Naraku!"
What! Half-demon! "What uselessness are you spouting!" I yelled. "Let me at him Inuyasha, I'll crush him to pieces I will!" I pushed at Inuyasha to move but he didn't budge, holding me back and away from the beast.
"Stay back you'll only get in the way, I need you to watch over the others!"
"But-"
"NOW!" he yelled, running ahead to attack Koshinki. I stood there stunned for a minute. I can't just stand aside! I glanced at Miroku, Kagome, Sango, and Shippou to see them motioning me to them. Agh suck in your pride stupid, I thought to myself, as I started to run at them.
"Not so fast!" called Koshinki and a fierce wind zoomed past me and there he was blocking my path. I growled at the beast. He's stalling, like he is playing a game. "Out of my way!" I aimed my sword at his arm, which he dodged. "Will you stay down!" I screamed.
A gush of heat burst through my hands, glowing a bright red. The heat burned my hands, making me scream in pain. I fell to the ground, grasping my hand, tears threatening to burst out. I looked down to see that Koshinki dodged the blast of energy I released. "Oh god," I let out, as I stared at the marked earth before. It was scarred and a gaping hole revealed itself. What the hell is going on here?
"Kaname, come on!" screamed Kagome. My head snapped up and I quickly shook off the shocka dn started to run toward Kagome. I fell to the ground when I arrived, grasping my hand tightly.
"Agh, its burning. What is going on?" I said, staring at my hand with worry. There were searing burn marks all over, a radiating red.
"That's right I'll kill you, you bastard!" yelled Inuyasha in the distance, swinging his sword. He is gonna do the wind scar! Koshinki rushed forward, biting at the Tetsaiga until we al heard a dreadful snap, A bright light released making me squint my eyes at it.
"As I thought this sword is nothing more than a annoying dog fang," growled Koshinki, as the Tetsaiga fell to the ground in pieces. Inuyasha looked dumbstruck, not even noticing as Koshinki rose his hand and stabbed Inuyasha in the abdomen. Inuyasha was thrown to the ground where he lay motionless.
"INUYASHA!" Kagome screamed, running forward to reach Inuyasha. Miroku blocked her raising his hand to release his wind tunnel. Suddenly, out of nowhere a huge hand smacked Miroku away. Miroku cried out in pain as he landed roughly on the ground. Koshinki was then right in front of Kagome and I. Kagome gasped, clutching my shoulder in a painful grip. I glared at the beast, trying to ignore the fact that he had us cornered.
"Inuyasha hahaha your mind is blank, could you be dead? Ah you went down so easily, such a waste of time. Hahaha Miroku I knew you were about to use the wind tunnel, even if it meant risking your life, how pathetic." Koshinki chuckled maliciously his eyes gleaming brightly. I acted fast shoving Kagome behind before I drew my sword, but I was too late. Koshinki came at me and grabbed my body in his hand, crushing me in his grip.
"KANAME!"
"KANAME!"
Anger penetrated my mind. I will not be some helpless girl to be taken to her death. I will kill this animal! "Get off me you disgusting pig! I'm going to tear you to pieces!" I roared pushing back at Koshinki's grip, struggling to get my sword out to stab something. Koshinki laughed at that squeezing even harder, making it impossible for me to breath. "Damn you," I wheezed, trying hard not to scream at the crushing pain he was inflicting on me.
"Now I shall eat all you humans one by one, starting with you Kagome," Koshinki chucked approaching her slowly. "RUN KAGOME!" I screamed struggling to break free. Koshinki ignored me approaching Kagome more. "Inuyasha is dead little girl, there is n use in calling him out anymore. No one will save you now!"
"You wanna bet!" growled a voice.
