Disclaimer: I do not own Inu Yasha or any of the characters in it! ^-^
Figures that the half breed would be hiding in his lands, behind trees …without anyone finding him. Sesshomaru almost growled at the thought…almost.
'Someone is getting punished when I get back,' he thought angrily. Back at his home, he had ordered that there be patrols at all times of the day, every day until Naraku was found. And not only was he never actually found, but he was hiding in Sesshomaru's own lands. 'Stupid half breed.' Sesshomaru drew his Tokijin, and held it out parallel to the ground in front of him.
"Dragon strike," he said calmly, seriously, without emotion. The bamboo like trees in front of him blasted apart, showing him a direct view of Naraku's castle, and with it, something else; Sesshomaru nearly rolled his eyes as the trees opposite him were blown apart.
"Wind Scar!" Inu Yasha yelled. A golden light tore from his Tetsusaiga, and next he knew, he was not only looking at broken trees, but Sesshomaru, and beyond him, Naraku's castle. He growled loudly and brandished his sword, pointing the tip at his brother. "Sesshomaru!" he yelled accusingly.
Sesshomaru ignored his brother and quickly scanned Naraku's castle, noticing that towards the bottom of the east side, there was a large amount of magic, much more magic then a half demon should ever possess.
'A barrier?' he thought almost curiously.
"What are you doing here?!" Inu Yasha yelled. Sesshomaru glanced at his younger brother.
"That is none of your concern half breed," he stated coldly.
"The hell it isn't," he said as he bared his fangs and tightened his grip on the Tetsusaiga.
"InuYasha, Sesshomaru," Naraku said amusedly, "not arguing again, are we?" Both brothers turned their attention to the enemy as he stepped from his castle; behind him Kagura stood, with Kanna beside her.
Just as he spoke, Sango and Miroku burst through the trees, Kirara and Shippo in tow. "And the monk and slayer…how sweet. Tell me monk, how is your hand?" Miroku gripped his staff, but kept silent. Naraku smirked and then looked at Sango. "My dear Sango…I have a surprise for you." He glanced over to his right, and nodded his head.
Sango watched as from behind the castle a horde of hundreds of demons appeared, leading them was Kohaku. Tears began to form in her eyes, and she nodded her head…this was her final mission. Mirkou stepped up beside her and gripped her upper arm.
"I'm here," he whispered. She nodded back quickly and hastily wiped the tears away.
"Have fun," Naraku said simply, before the demons surged forward. Sango and Miroku ran forward, each cutting down demons as they went. "Now, back to our business," he said with a laugh as he looked back to the brothers. "Inu Yasha, I'm sure you'll be glad to hear that while here, the girl has had some…interesting company." Inu Yasha visibly paled.
"What did you do with Kagome, you bastard?!" he yelled. Naraku's smile merely widened. Sesshomaru's glanced flickered from Naraku, to his half brother and back again.
'He took the human?' he thought almost confusedly, 'Why?' Naraku then looked at him.
"Sesshomaru…Lord Sesshomaru," he said mockingly. Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed and he glared out right at the filth in front of him. "I'm sure you're dying to know who this company is." Sesshomaru remained silent. "I'll show you," he said simply. He brought his hand up, and snapped his fingers, making the barrier in the lower part of his castle disappear. Sesshomaru's eyes darted there for a quick second before widening. An, aura the likes of which he had not felt in nearly a century, permeated the area, engulfing it. Naraku smiled, and snapped his fingers again, however, the aura did not fade. He glanced uneasily over his shoulder before back at Inu Yasha and Sesshomaru.
"It looks like you lost a prisoner Naraku!"Inu Yasha yelled as he pointed the Tetsusaiga at him. Naraku sneered before his body quickly changed, until it was a mass of writhing tentacles. Sesshomaru and Inu Yasha both jumped up, and back as the tentacles aimed for them.
"Stay out of this Sesshomaru!" Inu Yasha yelled as he sliced a tentacle from the mass. "Naraku is mine!" He jumped forward wildly, swinging his sword left and right. Sesshomaru growled low.
"You fool, stay back," he shoved Inu Yasha out of the way of a striking tentacle, and sliced it in two. Naraku smirked from the safety of being behind so many limbs.
"So brotherly of you Sesshomaru, pushing Inu Yasha out of harms way," he cooed. Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes, and held Tokijin up.
"Dragon strike," he said almost angrily. The blue light shot forth again, and Naraku grimaced as hundreds of his appendages fell to the ground. He narrowed his eyes as he shot more than half of his tentacles at Sesshomaru before switching his attention to Inu Yasha.
"It looks as though your companions need your help Inu Yasha," he said with a laugh. Inu Yasha ignored the jibe and pressed on. Sesshomaru glanced at his brother again and frowned.
"Sango!" Miroku yelled. A centipede demon had just shot a spray of acid at her, missing her by just a hair of her boomerang. She fell to the ground and looked up just in time to tumble away from another worm like demon.
Inu Yasha glanced over at his companions and yelled as a tentacle got past his Tetsusaiga and grazed his side; he fell to the ground, but quickly jumped back up. Sesshomaru glared at him furiously.
"Remember the past Inu Yasha!" he yelled again. Inu Yasha growled at the old reminder, and forged on.
"Shut up!" he yelled over at his brother. Naraku smirked once more as he glanced over at the monk and slayer, they were almost spent, and advancing on Sango now was her own brother. He smiled slightly as he sent one of his demons forward too.
"Kohaku!" Sango screamed. A demon, one of Naraku's own, flew forward, and cut a clean line through Kohaku's shoulder, and right through his arm. Mirkou looked over at his friend, and shook his head worriedly.
"No! Sango! Look!" he yelled desperately. She looked up and her eyes widened. Standing above her, was a demon, fangs bared, and acid dripping from its mouth. Miroku shook his head as he removed the beads. "Wind tunnel!" Inu Yasha's gaze shot to his friends as his eyes widened, hundreds of poisonous wasps were flying into Miroku's hand, and he had yet to shut the wind tunnel.
"Miroku! You idiot!" he yelled. He jumped to the side, but was instantly blocked by Naraku. The tentacle threw the Tetsusaiga from him, and the next thing he felt, was a tentacle jabbing through his stomach, pinning him to the ground. Inu Yasha's eyes widened as blood spurted up from his mouth.
"Inu Yasha!" a voice screamed. Naraku smiled as he pulled himself from the dying half demon. Sesshomaru looked over at his brother, eyes widening slightly, before continuing to slice Naraku down. Inu Yasha gasped.
"K-K-Kagome?" he whispered.
A/N: *hides behind a notebook* please don't hate me. I have good reasons for stopping it here. Like, it's late, and I'm tired. And, I'm tired because I've been spending my days at the hospital (my dad is there –long story-) instead of sleeping. I'll have more posted soon, I promise!
A/N: Please review, although I'll understand if you're too mad ^-^
