Chapter 15
Sango and Miroku leapt on Kirara then soared towards the soulless bodies lying on the floor. Picking up about five bodies, Kirara flew beyond the trees as Miroku ran with a couple smaller individual people on his back and Sango carried a couple at a time towards the trees where Miroku and Kirara would retrieve them.
Kouga pounced forward attacking Goyasanku on his side but was blocked by a wall of adamant that came shooting upward. Using the wall as a spring board, the wolf demon pushed off as his feet collided with the adamant then lunged forward again. InuYasha smirked at the Kouga's attempts then ran forward rising his tetsuiga over his head. Bringing it smashing down he cried "WINDSCAR" as the demonic power ripped over the ground heading for the fighting demons; Goyasanku and Sesshomaru. Realizing the attack, Sesshomaru clashed Tokijin with the two adamant based swords that Goyasanku had revived from his hand. Before the demonic power from InuYasha could reach them both, Sesshomaru swung at him one more time before backing up and letting the futile attack be reflected by the adamant demon's barriers. Once Goyasanku saw the dog demon step back, he blocked InuYasha's attack in time still keeping an eye on both Lord Sesshomaru and the half demon but being careful about the wolf too. After InuYasha attacked, he sprung forward swinging his tetsuiga then brought it down on Goyasanku's blades. Watching Sesshomaru lunge forward and try his offense, Kouga remembered something looked to find the priestess he loved.
Kagome was standing by the platform that Kikyo was still bond to. Taking one of her arrows out of her quiver, Kagome jammed it into the adamant, summoning her powers. Kikyo's aura started to get stronger as she strained against the adamant. Not remembering the jewel shard was in her hand, the priestess squeezed it as she continued to force down on the adamant. Soon the mineral began to glow and it broke; shattered pieces flew off in different directions. The trapped priestess was no longer imprisoned, sitting up and pulling her legs over the edge. Snatching the bow away from Kagome, Kikyo stole an arrow then loaded it in the direction of the fighting scene.
"Kikyo…what are you doing?" Kagome screeched as Kikyo merely released the arrow, it blazed by striking Goyasanku in his chest. The adamant weakened as some crumbled off while Kikyo kept her eyes on the demons fight each other. The adamant demon had barely anytime to notice as he was attacked by Lord Sesshomaru again. The dead priestess dropped the bow as her soul collectors swirled around her body, picking her up then disappearing from the battlefield. She stated, "You should be able to destroy that bastard, I have done my part so I will leave." While she floated away with her soul collectors, the priestess merely whispered, "Be careful, InuYasha." As soon as Kikyo vanished from her sight, Kagome turned her attention back to the duel between the four demons.
Goyasanku's blades blocked both InuYasha's and Sesshomaru's swings. Kouga tried to attack from behind but the adamant demon released back from behind but the adamant demon released back from the brothers' swords then raised a large dome; in order to protect him self from other their attacks. InuYasha growled, "Come out of there and fight, you coward!" He brought his tetsuiga down upon the dome which didn't break and only withstood his attack. Goyasanku laughed as he put his arms by his side then forced them upward, resulting in his body drilling a crater into the ground. After his body was completely under the mineral, red glimmered from his body as the ground shook. All three demons shot back as Goyasanku emerged covered in adamant. He slowly crawled out, his body slowly being contoured by the adamant. Not only was he surrounded by adamant but he was about ten times bigger than originality stood. Gazing at his new appearance, he chuckled as he announced; "Now die, you wretched fools!" Adamant shoot out from off of him, heading towards Kouga, InuYasha, Sesshomaru, and Kagome. Kouga zipped out of the way; Sesshomaru jumped backwards then over as they barely missed him. InuYasha leapt towards the priestess, shouting her name in the process as he lifted her up and piloted upwards. Landing in a distance location, he held Kagome tightly as he searched for the where about of any other adamant heading their way.
"How many arrows do you have?" InuYasha asked while Kagome checked her quiver, "Four…I used to have five but Kikyo shot one at Goyasanku's chest." InuYasha remembered seeing an arrow hit him but merely thought it was Kagome and attacked after Sesshomaru. Steadying his tetsuiga, the half demon growled, "Then we'll have to hit him at the right time. WIND SCAR!" Releasing more demonic power towards Goyasanku, who's adamant merely, reflected his attack with his hand. He smirked, "You're insolent attempts will not work on me. Feel my power!" Goyasanku shot off more adamant towards everybody but Kouga dodged them and lunged forward trying a mid-air turning kick. His attack did nothing as Goyasanku's hand punched him sending the wolf-demon flying. Kagome gasped at how far the demon flew but InuYasha gave a slightly satisfied grin. Kagome aimed her arrow at the adamant demon while shouting to InuYasha, "You ready?" The half-demon looked back towards Goyasanku as he gripped his tetsuiga. Kagome's sacred arrow blazed with spiritual power as she shouted "HIT THE MARK!" and released the arrow. The wind scar swirled around the tetsuiga as InuYasha brought it over his head. Swinging it forcefully, his demonic power entwined with Kagome's arrow. Their shot went a little off course and hit Goyasanku in his shoulder resulting in the arrow taking off his entire right arm. The demon screamed as his arm hit the floor and the adamant disintegrated from his body part.
"Damn, we missed!" InuYasha huffed as Goyasanku down at the two.
"Die at my other hand!" He whipped his arm sending adamant from several ways down towards them. The two leapt back but Goyasanku also sent a wave of demonic power towards them. InuYasha pushed Kagome out of the way right as it was heading towards them. Kagome fell backwards as the blast from Goyasanku pushed her past the trees. InuYasha was hit forcefully taking in every part of the excruciating pain. The priestess could hear his yells as she tried to find her way back to him. Picking up her dropped bow and quiver she then headed towards the path she was pushed from. ON her way back, Kagome was surprised to hear cursing of, "That bastard, right now he's probably fight that mutt and he can't protect my woman!" Walking towards the voice Kagome found Kouga straining to get up. There were tiny fragments of adamant piercing out from his tough exterior and he was a little hunched over from where he was hit. She announced her presence by saying, "Kouga, are you alright?" Kouga's head shot up to see the priestess with her bow clenched tightly in her hand. Springing to life, Kouga shot towards her capturing her hand in his, "Kagome, how did you get back here? I knew that the mutt couldn't protect you." Kagome uneasily slipped out of his hands then started a statement, "Your body had been punctured with adamant fragments…"
"This is just flesh wounds, I'm alright but I'm getting you out of here." Pulling on her arm, he was about to lift her up until she opposed, "NO, Kouga. I need to help InuYasha, you go back to the village where Miroku and Sango are." Right as she said their names the monk and demon slayer came insight on the twin-tail demon cat.
"Kagome, how did you get all the way out here?" Miroku asked as he approached Kagome and Kouga. Kagome pulled away from Kouga then scattered towards Sango, whispering in her ear. Sango nodded then jumped forward as Kouga starred suspiciously at the two. Sango threw her gas pellets which knocked Kouga out then Miroku ran over and picked up his unconscious body. Kagome stated, "Okay can you guys take me aback to InuYasha and Sesshomaru?" Sango replied with a "yes" then helped Miroku steady Kouga on Kirara's back. All four of them hopped on Kirara's back as she carried them towards the battlefield.
InuYasha knelt in pain as he implanted tetsuiga's blade into the ground for balance Goyasanku laughed until a shot demonic power came at him, hitting the adamant demon in his stomach. InuYasha looked up to see Sesshomaru with his Tokijin out, "You are wasting my time. If you are done with my pitiful excuse of a brother then I will destroy you now!" Sesshomaru's eyes began to turn crimson red as his demonic aura heightened and he gripped the sword tightly. His blue demonic power surrounded his very being as it began to tear away at the ground, he stood on. Goyasanku smirked as he replied, "Now Lord Sesshomaru, would you really want to destroy little Rin in the process?" The dog demon's face suddenly cleared from anger as he looked down at Goyasanku's feet. There Rin stood, in an adequate condition. Her eyes glowed the same color, Sesshomaru's eyes would have been. Her arms laid limp on her sides as her head was tilted downward; she looked as though she wasn't breathing very well but she was functioning alright. The look in his eyes made Sesshomaru seem slightly distraught but then a surprised expression appeared on his face. Tensuiga pulsed on Sesshomaru's hip, as though to call out to Rin. Gripping the hilt, he slide Tensuiga out of its scabbard and pointed it towards Rin. Swinging it, an amount of tetsuiga's power shot out and stroke Rin in her chest. The adamant piece embedded in her being surfaced but did not fall out. Afterwards the little girl fell to the ground unconscious. Goyasanku stated, "You may have stopped me from using her but I can still kill her." Turning his hand downwards, Goyasanku pulled his hand up for momentum but was stopped by a shout, "DRAGON STRIKE!" The powerful shot was soon combined with a sacred arrow flying from the trees, "GO!" Kagome shouted as the two attacks entwined together and shot at his other arm.
A/N: I think this is a good spot to stop. Like I said on my profile, I will finish this story up first so I won't get confused or anything. There's going to be about one or two more chapters and then it will be finished so it's almost to the end! PLEASE REVIEW and thanks to those who have!
