Chapter seven Lord Seshomaru meets his nephew and nieces
"So how was it at your mum's place Kagome did you get up to anything last night, Miroku and I did" said Sango while holding Miroku's hand as they walked into the fprest starting on there journey to recover the remaining pieces of the jewel of our souls.
"No we didn't" answered Kagome "however before we left I saw my mother give Inuyasha something" said Kagome. "What did she give you Inuyasha?" asked Sango "that's none of your business" yelled Inuyasha defensively, Kagome smiled "it must be something to help the love life then", Inuyasha went red "no it's not" Kagome was right though. Suddenly Sango stopped, "do any of you sense that?" Inuyasha answered "sense what" Sango began to shake "a dark demonic force is heading our way" they readied themselves for an attack, they had already walked into a wasteland so nothing could hide from them. Suddenly Kagome exclaimed "It's Seshomaru" Inuyasha turned and drew the Tetsuiagai from it's sheath as it transformed he turned to Kagome and said "where is he" asked Inuyasha gritting his teeth together, as Kagome honed in onto where Seshomaru was Inuyasha took the babies and put into Kagome's pouch where she could protect them but still fight, Shippo climbed up onto Kagome's shoulder as a last line of defence, Sango put the babies in the same pouch as where Kagome's babies were. They readied for battle Kagome looked up into the sky as she looked up so did all of her comrades they noticed that a small speck in the sky was getting larger, and larger until they saw that it was Seshomaru riding on his beast with Rin and Jauken. The closer he got the more Inuyasha became angry readying himself for a fight to the death.
Seshomaru landed on the ground, Rin and Jauken hopped of the steed with him and followed close behind him as Seshomaru drew closer to Inuyasha.
"So what is this I hear of someone bearing you a child", Inuyasha sneered "actually she bore me three children" Seshomaru face grew a little more serious as his eyes made there way over to Kagome standing they're with her bow at the ready. Suddenly Seshomaru disappeared; Inuyasha predicted this and prepared for Seshomaru to reappear anywhere. Seshomaru appeared right behind Kagome, She felt his presence and spun around to find that he had taken one of the children out of the pouch and was holding it in his arms. Inuyasha couldn't take it he had touché done of his babies, Inuyasha flew towards Seshomaru, however he could not use the wind scar he would kill his babies and Kagome in the attack. Seshomaru knew this so he let out a little smile, that is until he looked at the child and saw it's glowing red eyes, Seshomaru for some reason feared this and backed away from the child in fear after placing it on the ground Kagome picked her up and saw the eyes, they were still red. Seshomaru still looked at the child, that is until he shook the feeling and continued to speak to Inuyasha "you know it really is sad that I have to kill her and your babies, now tssk tssk tssk" he said shaking his head
Inuyasha could stand no more, he moved to Seshomaru at great speed and swung his sword, but Seshomaru was still faster Seshomaru appeared behing Miroku and Sango they had enough time to turn around before Seshomaru had used his whip of energy to strike down Miroku then disappeared, Sango rushed to catch Miroku as he fell, turned welled up in Sango's eyes, they didn't last, Seshomaru appeared behind her and struck her in the back with his poison claws. Inuyasha wouldn't be able to do it Seshomaru was to fast, he would pick them of with ease then he appeared behind Kagome he attacked to fast however Kagome didn't even see what he did, then there was a cry from the babies, tears sprung to Kagome's eyes, he attacked my babies thought Kagome. Then Kagome found it, she found out a pattern in his movements, she could sense where he would move to, she drew her bow back and released her arrow, at the exact moment Seshomaru appeared frowning at Inuyasha, he was hit by the arrow in the elbow, normally this wouldn't hurt a demon of his power but the arrows were sacred and easily pierced his skin and went right through.
Seshomaru fell not able to move from the pain, he forfeited, but Inuyasha was not in the mood, he looked at Seshomaru with true hared the kind that meant that he had really crossed the line, Inuyasha was going to do it, he was really going to kill his only brother. "you attacked my friends, you harmed my newborn pups, and attacked Kagome, I'll kill you" Inuyasha screamed as he reached back with the Tetsuiagai, but the a hand appeared on his shoulder he turned to see Kagome shaking her head slowly back and forth "do-don't – do – it" she said as she collapsed onto Inuyasha.
Inuyasha didn't care about Seshomaru anymore he just wanted his friends alive, he ran back to the village with all of them, which of course was difficult without Kirara "why did Kirara have to leave exactly when we needed her most" exclaimed Inuyasha. "Kaede" Inuyasha screamed he then saw Kaede emerge from the tent and watch him draw nearer. Kaede looked at the wounds in shock "who did this?" asked Kaede "my brother Seshomaru" replied Inuyasha "help them" said Inuyasha with a whimper in his voice "these wounds are very extensive there are poisons and deep cuts in the bodies there is only one thing I can think of" said Kaede "follow me" Inuyasha gathered his friends up and followed Kaede.
They came to a small river Inuyasha placed them all on the ground "place them in the water "said Kaede "place them in the river while I begin the incantation" Inuyasah followed the instruction saying over and over again "don't die, please don't die" crying. As he placed them in the water he saw all the grave wounds, Sango had almost had a whole made through her, Miroku a very deep cut and was bleeding to death, Kagome had not be deliberately punched or had she thought Inuyasha but the poison had made it's way into her veins whilst melting some flesh, Shippo was poisoned no doubt trying to protect the babies, and then the babies Inuyasha cried intesily at that point Kiyoko was poisoned and left half dead he didn't even have the strength to cry his last. Sango and Miroku's babies were dead, it was far too late for them, but Inuyasha placed them in the water anyway when he looked at Hitomi he saw her open her eyes they were light blue, Inuyasha wailed with tears, Kaede continued to use her incantation and finally Kaito, he looked at her puzzled she seemed fine, in fact she was giggling. "Kaito's alive and well" said Inuyasha "looks can be deceiving Inuyasha just to be safe place her in the water Inuyasha did as she requested and placed Kaito in the water. As he sat and cried looking at the bodies of the dead and soon too be dead he looked at his babies, and saw that Hitomi, Kiyoko and Kaito had opened they're eyes Kaito was laughing and giggling she really liked the water but Kiyoko and Hitomi were lifeless their eyes were dead soulless. Inuyasha continued to cry and then he noticed someone standing beside him, he turned and saw Seshomaru, followed by Rin and Jauken. Inuyasha had lost hope "help them" he cried "please help them" Seshomaru looked at him without sympathy he turned and began to walk "you soulless bastard" cried Inuyasha Seshomaru turned whilst still nursing his wound from the arrow and said "there is no need for the Tensaiga here, they will be fine in moments, Seshomaru turned and began walking, Rin saw the bodies and went up to hug Inuyasha, Inuyasha pushed her away, and in doing so he hurted her, Rin left Inuyasha and caught up with Seshomaru, Inuyasha continued to cry. Inuyasha looked up once again to see his friends and family dying or dead, he was about to give up before he looked at Kaito a bright light started to shine form her, it began to build up in the water spreading itself light outwards, as the light passed through the water and then touched Inuyasha's friends and babies, he saw that there wounds were glowing brightly just like the light, the light touched all people, and then it was drawn back into baby Kaito. Inuyasha looked at the bodies as they began to reanimate, Inuyasha wiped the tears form his eyes as the bodies stood up looking better than ever "Kaede it worked" yelled Inuyasha bursting with joy, Kaede looked puzzled "strange the incantation should not have taken effect by now" she decided to keep this comment to herself as Inuyasha and the rest of the wounded arose from the water and stepped out.
"What did it feel like?" asked Inuyasha "well it was just darkness, nothingness and then there was a bright light" said Kagome "that was Kaede's spell" everyone thanked Kaede and then Inuyasha remembered who needed to pay for this. "I'll be back, Kagome take care of the pups" Inuyasha turned to run but Sango grabbed his cloak "Inuyasha do you really think that Seshomaru would hang around" Kagome the remembered about the arrow "but I shot Seshomaru with a sacred arrow he'll still be there, won't he?" Inuyasha then replied "no Seshomaru came here, and I told him to use the Tensaiga to heal you, but then he said it wasn't necessary and left" Kagome looked at Inuyasha realising that he could have killed Seshomaru when he came but for some reason he hadn't. "how dare he", said Inuyasha opening his fists showing his claws", kaogme reached up and put her hand on his shoulder "forget it Inuyasha, he knew we would be fien" said Kagome, Inuyasha looked at her startled, "he just our friends, babies and even you, how can I not try to kill him for that" Kagome looked at him, and moved in close and hugged him, "its okay Inuyasha" said Kagome, he calmed down his rage subsided.
He held onto Kagome and was able to calm himself down before breaking there leaning away so he could look at his mate
