inner demon
Ami awoke with a jolt. 'Something doesn't feel right.' She thinks as she stares into the inky blackness of the room. She had fallen asleep in the nursery. Koushaku was not fussing. In fact, he wasn't moving or yawning or making any sound. She turns on a light only to find that Koushaku is not in his crib. He is not anywhere in the castle. She spins around after hearing dark laughter. "My dear Ami. It's been too long. It would be a shame if your precious child died wouldn't it?" Ami glared at the creature before her. "What have you done to my child, Naraku?" She spat. "Kukuku He's alive for now. I can't say how long he'll survive though." Ami rushes at Naraku with an intent to kill. "It was a puppet. Damn it!" Ami exclaims.
Ami is consumed by worry and rushes from the castle without waking Sesshomaru. 'I can smell him. He's close by.' Thinks Ami as she draws her sword."Show yourself you bastard!" She shrieks. "Ami. Were you really so foolish as to come alone? You know what I did to your parents. What is going to stop me from killing you the same way?" Naraku says with an eerily calm voice. "Where the hell is Koushaku? I swear if you so much as displaced a single hair on his head I'll savor your blood on my hands." Ami threatens. "Kukuku. Koushaku is already being whisked away by Kagura. I can't guarantee his safety on that feather of hers. It is such a windy night." Naraku says with a dark chuckle. "Damn you! Where is your wind witch taking my child?!" "He'll be safe for now as long as he survives the feather. I wonder how long he can last in miasma." Naraku says. Ami's pupils dilate. "I am going to fucking kill you!" Ami screams as she charges Naraku with her sword. He dodges. "You'll have to be faster than that." He taunts. Ami's speed increases as she lashes out at him. Slash. Dodge. Slash. Dodge. Neither opponent was landing a hit on the others body. "Ahh! You bastard." Ami says as a tentacle forces its way through her arm. 'Damn. He got me. If I could only land one blow I could take his soul and lock it in my sword forever.' Thinks Ami. She slashes away but to no avail. Ami finally lands a blow on Naraku and smiles at his small wince. "Your mine now." Ami says with a smirk. Her sword glows a dull red as it tries to force Naraku's soul from its body. "Foolish Ami. I am made up of many demons that each have their own soul. You'll drain your own power before you drain mine." Naraku says smugly. 'Damn! He's right. What can I do? Touch your mating mark. If you do Sesshomaru will come to help. I will.' Ami thinks as she frantically touches the mark. "He won't be able to help you." Naraku says. A sickening crack is heard when his tentacle shoots through the bone is Ami's already injured arm. She cries out in pain. "Where is my Koushaku? Tell me you evil bastard!" "No. I don't think I will. The only way to save him is to kill me."
Sesshomaru felt a jolt of pain that was not his own. His instinct told him that Ami, and his baby were in trouble. He caught Naraku's scent and quickly but calmly ran to the battle scene. He arrived in time to see Ami hit in the stomach and cough up blood. Sesshomaru growled deep in his throat. "Naraku." "Ah Sesshomaru. How nice of you to join us." Naraku says as he picks up a bruised Ami by the collar. "Put her down." Sesshomaru snarled. "Oh. I've touched a nerve have I?" Naraku said as he roughly threw Ami onto the ground. Ami groaned and tried to move. She fell back down. Sesshomaru briefly looked at Ami. Then drew Tokijin. Naraku looked at Sesshomaru then back at Ami. Ami's eyes were beginning to bleed red. Her nails were growing longer and teeth sharper. Sh transformed into a giant dog with twin blue tails. "Do not lay a finger on my loved ones!" She exclaims while rushing to Naraku in a fury. She barely dodged a tentacle coming her way. She turned and stood next to Sesshomaru baring her fangs. "Where is my child?" Sesshomaru asks. "Find out for yourself." "You bastard" Ami says with blood still trickling down her mouth. She ran at him and managed to bite his arm which caused miasma to fill her mouth. Ami yelped in pain and jumped back. "Kukuku. That miasma will take effect." Naraku smirked evilly. He reached for the jewel around her neck. Sesshomaru growled and clawed at Naraku's hand. "Don't touch her." he snarled. "A little protective are we?" Naraku sneers. Ami slowly turns back into her normal self. "Please, Sesshomaru find our baby boy. Forget about killing Naraku. Just find our baby prince." Ami whispered as she slipped into unconsciousness. Naraku smirked as he said "She is dying. You were too late, Sesshomaru." Naraku says as he disappears in a swarm of Saimyosho. Sesshomaru lifted Ami off of the ground. "No. She'll be okay. She will." he said to no one in particular. Ami's breathing became rigid and shallow. She spoke to Sesshomaru her voice barely audible, "I am dying. I can feel it. Please save Koushaku take care of our family. Send Rika my thanks for training Kizu." "Don't give up. You aren't leaving. You aren't goin to die." Sesshomaru said. Ami gave a weak smile before coughing up more of her own blood. "Yes, I am dying. I accept my fate." "No! No, don't talk like that. I could save you. I could revive you."
Another meek smile from Ami. "No, it wouldn't work. The miasma is destroying my internal organs. Please, just hold me close during my final minutes and please keep our family safe." She says as more blood trickles down from her mouth. Sesshomaru bends down and captures her lips for one final time. He looked down at her with love in his amber orbs and Ami looked up at him and said "I love you,Sesshomaru." "I love you too, Ami." After this final display of love, Ami sighed her last breath and closed her emerald eyes for the final time. Sesshomaru vowed to keep their children safe and to never forget her memory. For the first time in his life, Sesshomaru, The Great Taiyokai of the West, let tears fall from his sad, amber eyes. His tears dripped down to Ami's to face as one question passed his lips, "Why?" He returned home and gave his beloved Ami a proper burial. Sesshomaru murdered his sister Rika after finding out that she had been on Naraku's side the entire time. Kizu was never the same.
This has been the story of the life, love, and death of Ami Taisho.
