When your in the heat of battle you can't think of anything else. All you can think of is your heart pounding a million miles an hour. You can feel the adrenaline course throw your veins. It was a feeling of ecstacy.
And the hunters lived for this feeling.
Sango took out her samurai sword and stabbed a zombie in the stomach, twisted the sword, and pulled it out. The zombie fell to the ground and moved no more. Miroku threw spell charms at two zombies. The zombies screamed in pain as they were engulfed in a blue light and caught fire. Their bodies soon fell to the floor and no longer made a sound. Meanwhile, Kagome hit a zombie with an uppercut, the zombie flew back ad fell to the floor. Kagome took out her sais and stabbed the defensless zombie in the chest.
" Come on is that all ya got?? " Inuyasha said with a smirk as he sliced off the heads of the three zombies who had dared to come near him. Meanwhile, Kagome threw her sais and each sais hit a zombie square in the head. " Score one for me and zero for the zombies! " Kagome said. Sango finished off the last zombie by slitting it's throat.
The hunters stood there gasping for air. Indeed, this is was they lived for.
" Well I guess we should keep moving. " Sango said as she cleaned her blade. The rest of the hunters nodded in agreement.
The hunters walked for what seemed like hours. And the more they walked. The more horrific sights they saw. The walls were all covered in blood. Kagome could've swore she saw human limbs sticking out of the blood.
" Nice place. I must get the name of the decorator. " Inuyasha said, breaking the silence.
The hunters looked at him with shocked faces. " What did I do? " Inuyasha said with a look of fake innocence on his face.
" Sh! Listen, don't you hear that? " Kagome said.
They all remained quiet to hear. Slow footsteps were hear. The steps were rather casual. As if the follower didn't mind the horrific sights on the walls.
The hunters peered into the darkness behind them.
As the follower stepped into the light they all looked in shock.
It was the hooded figure from the church.
The hooded figure began to clap. " Very well done. I think i didn't give you guys enough credit. " the hooded figure said with a low, haunting voice.
" Once again who are you? " Inuyasha said as he was reaching for his desert eagle.
The hooded figure raised its hand in defense. " I mean no harm. But the creature down this corridor does. " the hooded figure said.
" Well that still doesn't answer our question. " Sango said as she began to reach for her boomerang.
The hooded figure shook his head. " Nothing please you does it? " the hooded figure said.
" Damn right. " Kagome and Miroku said in unison.
The hooded figure reach for the hood and pulled it back. The hunters looked with wide eyes.
He was a demon, his skin was a greenish color, his eyes were yellow with black slits, he seemed to have small scars on his face, no doubt from the evils he had faced before.
" They call me Jaken. " Jaken said.
" Jaken? That's a funky name. " Inuyasha said trying not to laugh.
" So is Inuyasha. " Jaken said with a smirk.
Inuyasha's eyebrow twitched. " What did you say!?! " Inuyasha said angrily.
" Enough! Listen Jaken how do you know his name and how on earth did ou survive his long without any weaponry? " Kagome asked.
Jaken nodded and said, " Very well, I know his name because I too am working for the same organization as you. Who else told Sesshomaru about the darkness consuming the city? I was sent here to keep the evil from escaping. As you can see I have miserably failed. And to the matter of my survival... ".
Jaken put his hand in his cloak and took out a small cross. It was gold, and very old, and tarnished, but it glowed like it was brand new. It glowed like the sun, bright, and it seemed to give off a feeling of hope. " It is God who is keeping me safe from these creatures. Sometimes faith, is all you need to make your way through. " Jaken said.
" Well...that makes sense... I think. " Miroku said, quite unsure of what to make of Jaken.
" Make what you want of it. What you need to focus on now is defeating Naraku and closing the gate to hell. If you don't close the gate to hell, more monsters shall surface and soon they will break out of Catacomb city and the darkness will prevail over this world. " Jaken said with a grim look on his face.
" Not much pressure is there? " Sango said with a sigh.
Jaken chuckled and said, " I shall leave you now. Good luck hunters and send that Naraku to hell where he belongs. " Jaken then backed away and walked back into the darkness.
" Well if you ask me that wasn't at all weird. " Kagome said with a shrug.
" You got that right Kags. " Sango said with a nod of agreement.
The hunters continued to walk, when they came to the end of the corridor, they came to two huge metal doors, dried blood was smeared all over it.
This was it. This was the end. It was either the hunters or Naraku who was going to die. There was no turning back. There was no way they could run now.
" Well if theres anything we want to say to eachother, now is the time. " Miroku said.
" Kagome I need to talk to you. " Inuyasha said as he grabbed Kagome's hand and led her away.
Kagome was unsure of what to say. She just let Inuyasha take her where he wanted to go. ' He's so warm. ' Kagome thought. A red tint was finding its way to her cheeks. When Inuyasha thought it was safe to talk he let go of Kagome's hand and turned to look at her. Kagome let out a gasp of surprise, his eyes held so much emotion, sadness, fear, and love. Inuyasha let out a sigh and said, " Kagome you were right. I didn't think you could take care of yourself. It's just that after the Chicago incident, I got really scared. I got scared because I almost lost you and I couldn't stand it. But I didn't realize how much stronger you've gotten since. I didn't give you the credit you deserved. And I wanted to tell you that I love you and I always will. No matter what happens, you'll always have my heart. " Inuyasha said with such raw emotion.
Kagome smiled and said, " Thanks Inuyasha, I love you too. And I always will love you. No matter how much of a jerk you can be. "
" Is that a promise? " Inuyasha said in a hopeful tone.
" Hell yeah it is. " Kagome replied.
Inuyasha then leaned in, Kagome noticed his move then did the same. Their lips had met, it was a heated, passionate kiss. After a minute the two broke for air. " Ready to kick some ass? " Inuyasha asked with a smile. " Ready as I'll ever be. " Kagome said with a wink.
As the two found their way back to the double doors. They found Sango and Miroku also sharing a kiss. Kagome and Inuyasha stifled their laughs. They also noticed Miroku's hand slowly going down Sango's back, it's goal right in its grasp. Unfortunately, Sango had indeed noticed, she broke the kiss and smacked Miroku with an open palm. Inuyasha and Kagom both broke out in laughter. Sango looked in Inuyasha and Kagome's direction and blushed.
" So ummm you guys are ready? " Sango said, her blush still tinted her cheeks.
" Yes we are. Lets do this. " Miroku said as he rubbed his red cheek.
The hunters walked up to the double doors and pushed them open.
Now all hell is going to break loose.
