Chapter 10

Sota stood his ground as he waited for the demon to make his move. He knew that he wouldn't have to wait long because he could feel Emeri's surround him and slowly change his scent so that he smelled like her while her scent changed so that she smelled like him. Just as he was about to make the first move, Sota easily avoided the dragons first attack as he heard Kyashi roar out, "What the hell have you done to my mate?!"

"First of all she's mine…secondly I suggest you keep your guard up." Sota growled as he easily countered the attack so that he had Kyashi on his knees.

"Fool…all I have to do is kill you and I'll once again have princess Jezebeth all to myself." Kyashi growled as he began to transform.

"Jezebeth is dead, she's been dead for years. My mate's name is Emeri so you better not forget it." Sota growled as he got ready to fight.

"Sota!" Kagome yelled as she aimed her arrow at the dragon demon that stood ready to fight.

"Inuyasha, we cannot fight here…our people are in danger." Sesshomaru growled as he held a crying Rin alongside his mate.

"Stay out of this sis…this is between me and him." Sota growled as he continued to change until he had the form of a pure demon and the scent of a pure blooded demon.

"How…when…why…?" Miroku tried to asked as what was going on with the boy.

"I think…Emeri has gotten a power boost from her family's line." Sango answered as she and Kirara got ready to defend the surrounding village.

"Rin…it's alright…Rin hold on to me." Kagura whispered as she pulled out her feather so that she and her daughter could get out of harm's way.

"Oka….Otu I'm scared." Rin cried.

"You have every right to be scared…for you all will die." Kyashi growled as he easily took form of a fire dragon.

"Otu!" Rin yelled as Kagura took flight with both Rin and Shippo.

"Kyashi you will die here and now!" Inuyasha growled as he withdrew the Tetsusiga to fight.

"Sota…you can't do this alone." Kagome called as she watched her brother easily avoid a fire ball that was thrown his way. She had been so busy worrying about her brother, that Kagome had failed to notice the fire ball coming her way.



Not wasting any time, Inuyasha quickly pulled his mate out of the way and covered her up with his hairo. Once she was out of harm's way, Inuyasha turned angry eyes to Kyashi only to find that he was struggling with Sota; who had managed to get on top of him and claw at his wings. Once he was sure that he would be unable to fly, Sota jumped off of the dragon and smiled before he said, "Told you that you would not get it your way."

"Foolish boy…I will kill you and I will take Jezebeth as my mate. Emeri may be her reincarnation however she was meant to be MY mate!" Kyashi growled as he prepared another fire ball.

Without a second thought, Sota extended his arms forward as closed his eyes. He could feel a strange power waiting to be freed and what struck him the most was the small voice that had been telling him what to do. Sota opened his eyes only to find a shield made out of ice slowly melting as the fire ball began to disappear. Once the fire was gone, the water that had come from his shield quickly surrounded him as Sota said, "Shield of the hells frozen river. Protect me and my family."

"Sota…you're not alone." Kagome side as she easily managed to hit one of Kyashi's wings.

"Wind Scar!" Inuyasha roared as he added his attack to Kagome's still lingering miko powers.

"Dragon Strike!" Sesshomaru roared.

As they all combined their attacks, Kyashi quickly got out of the way by turning back into his human like form. He had no other choice but to fight in a weakened state or to give up his claim on Jezebeth. 'I will not lose her again.' Kyashi thought as he pulled out his own sword. Kyashi slowly extended his sword so that the tip was pointing directly at Sota. Sota however seem unfazed by his attacks as he kept his smile. 'I'll kill his sister…and then I shall kill him.' Kyashi thought as he got ready to attack.

"You will die here Kyashi. For your foolish attempt at harming my family." Sesshomaru growled as he began to transform.

"Oh, I beg to differ Lord Sesshomaru…you see I am the only one that knows where Jezebeth is. No demon, human or hanyou can enter my castle without my letting it so. Even if you kill me you will only ensure that she is stuck in my castle until I am reborn." Kyashi growled as his sword was surrounded in flames.

'What the hell is he thinking? He knows that my brother can easily block that attack.' Kagome thought as she began to look around. It wasn't until it was too late that she had realized what she thought he had planned to do. Without a second thought, Kagome threw the hairo back at Inuyasha in hopes of stopping the flames from killing him. But just as they were about to reach her mate, Kyashi pulled back on his sword and redirected the flames toward her. 

'No…Inuyasha…I'm so sorry.' Kagome thought as she tried to gather enough miko energy to stop the attack.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha roared as he tried to reach her side only to be stopped by one of Kyashi's other attacks.

"Dragon Strike!" Sesshomaru roared as he tried to cancel out the dragons attack so that Kagome would not get hurt.

Just as the attacked had touched her barrier, there was a huge explosion and soon the battle field was filled with dust. AS the dust began to die down, Sango and Miroku turned to see Inuyasha starting to transform even with Tetsusiga in his hand. Sango and Miroku slowly to small steps as they waited for him to finish. Kyashi however was heard laughing at the two as he said, "Now let's see you win now that your mate is dead. Soon you'll join her in the underworld."

"Sis? Sis you have to be alright." Sota growled as he also began to transform.

But before Inuyasha or Sota could completely lose control, they all heard a familiar voice say, "And here I thought that you would be able to handle things like you wanted to…mate." As a sudden guest of wind pushed all of the dust out of the aura to reveal Kagome on her knees taking in slowly and deep breaths while Emeri smiled as she pulled out her weapons.

"Jezebeth…come to me my mate." Kyashi growled as he tried to approach her only to be held back by the purifying energy that had suddenly surrounded him.

"Jezebeth? My name is Emeri, mate of Sota." She growled as she allowed Inuyasha to reach Kagome before she stood next to Sota.

"Jezebeth…come to your mate." Kyashi growled as his eyes began to glow red in fury.

"My mate stands next to me Kyashi." Emeri growled as she turned to kiss Sota to prove her point.

Once their lips meant, Kyashi had broke, he quickly attacked anyone that stood in his way.
