Chapter 9

"Dammit Myoga, why didn't you tell me this before?"

"Well Master InuYasha, I thought you would do something rash and regretful but now I see that you don't have much time."

"InuYasha, you don't have a lot of time until tonight. You will be useless and we're gonna need help." Miroku tilted his head in deep thought.

"For once, you idiotic lecher, your right and we will need help. There's only one person that I despises that will help to save Kagome." InuYasha let out a deep breath not believing what he said as he looked in the contrary direction of the adamant tavern.

-----

"So you're asking me for help, mutt?" a pair of icy blue eyes pierced through the darkness of the cave as light from the dawned sun emitted in towards the tavern.

"Maybe, you son-of-a…"

"InuYasha! Yes, he is asking for your help. Now we know you don't like him very much but please remember that Kagome's life is at stake." Miroku interrupted InuYasha to talk to the person lurking in the cave.

"I knew this jackass couldn't protect MY woman!" the person stood up and walked in plain view. He was a wolf demon that had pointed ears and claws much like InuYasha's. He wore his hair in a high ponytail with a brown fuzzy headband, two different brown fuzzy wristbands, grayish-black armor, and a brown tail.

"Whatever Kouga, I doubt you could of done any better." InuYasha crossed his arms.

"From what you told me, this 'Goyasanku' is weak making you weaker since you couldn't defeat him." Kouga smirked at the expression plastered on the half-demon's face.

"YOU BASTARD, I will…" InuYasha started until Miroku signaled him to stop.

"There's no need tot continue."

"That's right so back down before Goyasanku kills Kagome." Kouga stated calmly as Myoga began to further explain.

"I will continue my story so as I was saying some people from the adamant ward didn't want to control humans or demons because they fell in love with them. That was their weakness. InuYasha, I know you have noticed the strange mark imprinted upon his chest shaped like an adamant, correct?"

"Yeah…so?"

"Well not only does that symbolize that they are a member of that ward but that is their weak spot. Under that specific mark is his heart. If you pierce heart then he will peril."

"So that's all we have to do?"

"Yes just about, it sounds easy but it will be quite difficult."

"Whey do you say that?"

"Well, I think that's the reason." Miroku pointed towards the cave where hundreds of people and humans stood, red piercing eyes a glow.

"Half of them are puny humans so it'll be easy." Kouga huffed as he stood with confidence and cracked his knuckles.

"Shippo and Kirara can take care of them. We'll take care of the demons and Miroku can get either. Kouga don't kill any humans while you're trying to get to Kagome!" InuYasha glanced at the wolf-demon who had his heart set on the young priestess.

"I'll do whatever it takes to save my woman!"

"She's not you woman, asshole!"

"To hell, she isn't!"

"Go to hell then because she's not!" Kirara roared with an intensity stopping the demons from arguing. While the two continued to bicker, Miroku searched for the old flea demon, "Myoga, where are you?" a small voice tried to call out until Miroku smacked the back of his hand. Once Myoga was smashed, he soon became visible and talked to Myoga.

"Myoga, how is it that I get my dear Sango out of this binding spell Goyasanku has on her?"

"Well, it would have to be the same way InuYasha did, True Love's Kiss. The man, she truly loves, must kiss her to break the control. That was why the people of the ward died. Their weakness was love or in this case, their heart." In the background, the two demons began to squabble as they heard the monk and the flea demon's conversation.

"YOU KISSED MY KAGOME?"

"YES, BECAUSE SHE LOVES ME AND LIKE MYOGA SAID 'TRUE LOVE' WOULD BREAK THE SPELL."

"You do NOT deserve Kagome because you do not love her."

"WHAT?! What makes you think that?"

"Well, when you went there the first time, you didn't rescue Kagome. You still love the undead wench and that again hurt Kagome." Both of them began to growl as they heard a loud yell of, "FOX FIRE!" as Shippo, Kirara, and Miroku headed towards the tavern. Realizing this, both InuYasha and Kouga leapt out towards the demons coming from the sides.

"IRON REAVER SOUL STEALER!" InuYasha shouted while ripping through demons as Kouga sent whirl winds of kicks at the demons. Humans were knocked unconscious while demons were tore apart. Miroku stabbed many demons with the end of his staff then pushed the humans with the end bearing the jingling rings. Shippo used his fox magic on the humans while Kirara ripped through the crowd flinging anyone out of her way. Finally taking out his tetsuiga InuYasha began swinging it cutting through the creatures.

"Dammit, I can't use tetsuiga's power since these demons are mixed with humans."

"Well think of something else mutt, cause we have to get to the front." Kouga shouted as he continued to kick and punch both humans and demons while the sky was getting darker.

-----

Goyasanku laughed as a half-demon, wolf-demon, a monk, a little fox demon, and a two-tailed demon cat tried to get through the swarm. Soon, he decided to go back to the tavern that his hostages resigned in. Kikyo was still regaining her strength while her sold collectors feed her souls. Kagome stirred a little while she laid imprisoned onto the platform. Sango stood beside her with over glazed, blank eyes that had no emotion. She watched as Kagome tried to struggle against the adamant. Fusuri sat cross legged next to the cage holding Kikyo while focusing out of the tavern.

"KAGOME!" a voice called out.

'INUYASHA?' Kagome recognized the raspy tone calling out to her.

"KAGOME!" another voice echoed through out the cave.

'KOUGA?' She laid slightly surprised at the person calling her name.

'What's he doing here and…with InuYasha?!' Kagome's thoughts got the best of her when she tried to wake up and see the battle scene. InuYasha and Kouga pushing through the mob while Miroku, Kirara, and Shippo trailed close behind them.

"SANGO!" the monk shouted into the air like the previous demons did. The demon slayer turned her head towards his direction with her eyes still blazing and a slightly displeased look on her face. Miroku was the monk who might have stole her heart but crushed it when ever he was around other women. He constantly flirted or groped other women without a care in the world then one day says he loves her and she denies that he means it.

(Flashback)

"Sango my dear, I have something to discuss with you."

"What is it, Miroku?"

"I know it may seem like I go to a lot of women but it seems…" he paused for a second then started again, "That you are the one who I truly desire." Sango gave him an offended look before replying with anger.

"Right…you basically propose to other women then try and settle for me when they don't want you." Miroku snapped back after her comment.

"I don't propose to other women!"

"You ask them to 'bear you children'. That's close enough to proposing if you ask me."

"Sango, Sango, Sango, I am truly being honest with you. I am sorry if I have hurt you in anyway before but I was not trying to deceive your heart."

"You expect me to suddenly believe that you want me after all. Well I'm not going to fall for your bullshit…"

"But Sango…" Miroku looked into her eyes while trying to hold her hands in his. Her face was colored with a light blush before she jerked her hands back then stood up.

"Whatever…I-I…have to go." The monk let out a sigh as he watched the demon slayer disappear into the forest. Sango hide behind a tree trying hard to hold back whatever she was feeling. Leaning against the tree, she took a quick glance at him sitting with his head dropped down. A glistening tear stained her face as their conversation repeated in her mind and she returned to the village.

(End Flashback)

"That's right Sango; let all your hatred flow through your body. The monk doesn't want you, why does he need you when there are hundreds of more women to feed his desires." Goyasanku smirked as he read the demon slayer's thoughts and saw the reminiscing experience go through her head.

"Fusuri, Sango, why don't you two have a reunion with our guests, yes?" Fusuri stood up then swung his arm holding the adamant. In a flash it extended into the staff with blades precariously perched at each end. Sango walked over and grabbed her hirakotsu and sheathed her katana. Waving his hands, adamant formed stair down towards the field. The little boy and the demon slayer fled down the flight of steps.

"Sango!" the monk shouted again as he plunged more sacred sutras at the neighboring demons in front of him and punched the humans beside him.

"Fusuri!" InuYasha growled at the little boy who stood starring blankly in his direction.

"Let's watch this again, shall we?" Goyasanku laughed at the half-demon that spring at the possessed child while Sango attacked Miroku.
