Chapter 20- New situation pt. 2
In case you didnt see yet, I posted the revised chapters 1-8 so check them out if you want.
I know that probly most, if not all of the people who have been reading my fic want to rip my face off and eat it because of the massive wait. But its just been several things happening: Lost intrest due to re-writing chapter four, re-writing the entire fic is alot harder than I originally thought, school work, recently got a girlfriend, and I kinda lost alot of ideas and enthusiasm since I havent watched an episode of Inuyasha, or Yu Yu Hakusho in God knows how long. But if I have any free time I will ussually type up a few paragraphs or so. So...uh...sorry...yea, enjoy the new chapter and please dont hurt me...
------------------------------------------------------------
Sango readied herself for a quick kill, if she missed its vital points then she would be assured death. She was in no condition to fight so she had to finish it in a single shot, It brushed the vines to the side and was quickly attacked with a small blade hidden in the demon slayers sleeve.
It made contact but had no effect on the creature at all, it seemed as if its fur acted as a natural armor as the blade was ignored. The demon then grabbed her by the wrist and lifted her off the ground. It looked at the medicinal herbs that were covering her wounds and then gentley placed her back on the ground.
It walked out of the cave for a moment and returned with a boar in its claws that was easily twice its size. It dropped it in front of her with a large crash. The soil and debris that littered the ground hopped up for a moment from the jolt of energy caused by the small quake. Even Sango stumbled from the shock of the giant animals body crashing into the ground.
"It must be incredibly powerful to have been able to kill a boar of this size without a scratch on it." She thought as she stayed poised for attack. But as she was thinking, the monster did something unexpected: It tore off a large portion of the boars flesh, dropped it, and pushed it towards her.
At this point Sango was extremely confused. At first she thought that the creature had kidnapped her and intended to eat her. But now it seemed as if it was trying to help her. "Could he be the one that covered my injuries with these plants?" She thought. At this her stomach growled loudly as she looked at the beast, eating its fill. "I guess I should eat it, I mean I havent had anything to eat since Inuyasha barged in while we were talking at the inn."
She slowly sat down while not taking her eyes off the demon, still not completely convinced. She used her katana to slice off a piece of the meat that she had been given. She gathered some nearby sticks to start a fire so she could cook it.
After eating her fill and watching it sloppily finish the remains, the demon rinsed off its blood soaked face in a puddle of stagnant water that had formed from water droplets coming in through the ceiling. It looked at her wounds again, then made a grunting sound while lowering its head. Sango looked it in the eyes and instead of seeing a ruthless monster as most demons she had encountered, she now saw a pair of gentle eyes that she knew she could trust. She then climbed on its back and it ran out of the cave and through the forest with great speed as the sun came up over the horizon.
---------------
Meanwhile up on a ridge a demon was watching the slayer as she was riding on the demons back.
"Finally, I found one. I dont like serving that spoiled brat. But if Chronos really is dead then I have no choice. I think its a female, she's probably Kagome so all I have to do is kidnap her and-" "A spoiled brat am I? You're lucky your one of my last minions otherwise you would be with my father right now." Big brothers voice interupted the thoughts of the demon who was apparently one of his "guardians".
The demon sighed and started thinking in his mind, talking to his new master "Well anyway, she has a large...thing on her back, is it her?" "No thats Sango whos with her?" Big brother asked him. "Its just some sort of wolf demon, or something, I cant tell from here."
"I dont know how a couple of kids could give you so much trouble. If your father was still alive they would have been dead a long time ago." The demon said. "Dont ever compare me to him! He was a fool! He couldnt defeat the ruler of spirit world even though he was an old man! I'm not going to make the same mistakes he did. I've made sure that any weaknesses he had are now my strong points and I make much better use of his powers then he did." Big brother said.
"If he had found out that you stole his powers he never would have lost to the king of spirit world." The demon told him. "Like I said he was a fool. But if it makes you feel any better, he managed to screw me one more time before he died. I still dont know where or when his castle is and thats where he put the other guardians, and without them I cant go through with my plan, thats why I need the jewel." Big brother said with an annoyed voice.
"Heheheheh. Your right that does make me feel better. Anyway, what should I do about the two of them?" The demon asked. "Hm...You can kill them both, I dont want any thorns left in my side when I finally raise my army. HAHAHAHAHA!" Big brother then broke the mind link between them. "Dumb ass." The demon thought.
Not even the demon noticed but there was a second pair of eyes watching both the demon and Sango...
-------------------------------
"So you never explained what happened to you. Why were you so beat up? Where did you come from?" Sakura asked Miroku as they walked through the village that he had been brought to while still unconcious. It seemed as though the villagers weren't human either. All of them had a demonic aura but it was very faint, not unlike Inuyashas'.
"I still don't know where I am or who these people are so I dont think I should tell her what really happened just yet. Until I know I can trust her I will have to be careful not to give away too much information" The monk thought to himself as he walked with her. "Well...I was attacked by a group of bandits. They surrounded me and threw me in a river after stealing all of my valuables." He quickly came up with a story.
"Well those wounds were pretty serious for just a bunch of thugs." She had said, giving him a disbelieving look. "Your bones were crushed to bits and you were about to die. A more believable story would have been that you fell off a cliff and a bunch of boulders landed on you." She then said to him. "But if you dont want to tell me then just say so! You dont have to lie!" She told him as she looked at him with a dissapointed expression.
Miroku sighed and rubbed the back of his head as he thought of what to say next. As he was thinking he saw something coming through the village gates. "Oh good! He's back! Come on I want you to meet a friend of mine!" Sakura said as she grabbed Mirokus arm and began running toward the gate.
Miroku was in shock when he saw the behemoth that was the priestesses friend. He looked like some sort of wolf demon but very unlike Koga. He stood upright like a human but was completely covered in fur and had the face and ears of a wolf. Not to mention its' claws, tail, and fangs.
But what surprised him more was who was riding on it. "Sango?" Miroku asked in great astonishment,as the wolf demon let her down. She looked up to see the monk and suddenly all of her pain seemed to vanish. "Miroku!" She cried as she ran over to him and hugged him tightly.
But just as quickly her pain returned and she fell down at the sudden jolt of pain, bringing Miroku down with her. "I'm guessing that she's a friend of yours?" Sakura giggled as the two lifted themselves off the ground. Sangos face turned a faint red at this comment as she realized what she had just displayed.
"Dont worry, I'll have you fixed up in no time!" Sakura then said as she led them back to her house at the back of the village.
----------------------------------
Kagome had decided that she wouldnt get much done just sitting around on the small beach she had ended up on. So she started to walk through the forest to see if maybe any of the others had landed somewhere in the forest or beyond it.
As she was walking she felt the pressence of quite a few demons. She got her bow and arrow ready as she cautiously continued walking through the veil of darkness.
Just then a tiger demon jumped out of its hiding place in one of the many trees. It was getting ready to slash her apart with its calws, when of nowhere a a wave of white energy hit it in the side, which caused it to crash through a nearby tree and quickly retreat. Several more cat demons were exposed as coutless waves of energy shot through the forest, flinging them out of the trees and other hiding places.
"What was that?" Kagome thought as she watched as the demons retreated quickly. "Hey, Kagome! You okay?" She then heard a familiar voice say. She looked over at the source of the voice to see the relieving sight of Touken with his swords still glowing. "Touken!" She cried out as she waved to him. He quickly ran to her using his great speed and looked around again to see if any demons were left in the area.
"Hey, what were you doing out here? You should have stayed out of the forest, where it was safe." He told her in a stern voice. "Well, I figured that if you guys were looking for me, then I should try to find you too. I didnt want to seem like the helpless one again. I guess that didnt work out so well huh?" She said as she began laughing nervously.
"Where did you come from anyway?" She then asked him. "Well, one minute we were fighting Big Brother and the next, I was surrounded by guards. So after I fought my way out, I came through here and felt a small pressence so I decided to check it out and, well, here we are!" He finished with a smile.
"But seriously, we should get going. I'm starting to feel something much more powerful." He told her, going back to a serious face. "Now that you mention it, I can feel it too." She told him as they both looked in the direction of the pressence.
--------------------------------
"Master, There are two of them. One has a mask over his face and the other has long black hair. I think she is a female, then again I cant tell the diffrence between any humans." A demon thought to himself as he was contacting his new master. "Thats her! Take her, but DO NOT KILL HER!" Big brother made sure it was clear tht she was not to be harmed.
"What about the other one? Can I eat him?" The demon asked eagerly. "If you can defeat him, then by all means! Thats Tentou Touken, he wont be easily defeated. You will most likely have to kill him before you can get to Kagome though. So I suppose you can do whatever you like with him!"
"Finally! I will taste human flesh again!" The demon squealed with excitment. It jumped onto one of the branches of a nearby tree and began hopping from one to another as it closed in on its target.
----------------------------------
"Kirara!" Shippo cried out as the cat demon was flung several feet away by the powerful attacker. It looked like a normal human but its strength far surpassed that of any normal humans. It looked like an old man, his back was hunched over and he used a cane. He was wearing a brown robe with intricate writing in another launguage. He was completely bald but his beard would have touched the ground had it not been curled at the end.
"Hehehe. So this is the "mighty" Yusuke? Bah, I could take him down even if he was awake!" The old demon said in a very raspy voice. Shiro then attacked him from above but to the same effect as Kirara. The old demon just pointed his cane at him and a burst of invisible energy sent him flying even further than Kirara.
"Fox Fire!" Shippo yelled as he threw his small blue flame at the old demon. He simply raised his cane in front of him and the small fire was extinguished before it even came withing two feet of him.
"Who are you anyway?" Shippo then asked in a frightened tone. "Oh! I didnt introduce myself? How rude of me! I am Takai, I'd bow but this old back of mine would give out! Hehehe!" The old demon laughed.
"He sure doesnt seem too threating when he isnt fighting." Shippo thought to himself. "Now to kill Yusuke." Takai then walked over to where Yusuke was still laying and pointed the tip of his cane at him. A small blade shot out about four inches and was about to be plundged into Yusukes chest when Kirara came back and tackled him from the side.
He bounced and rolled for about five feet before he came to a complete stop. "Ow ow ow! My back!" The old mans' back was arched even further than usual and he seemed to be in alot of pain as he didnt move off the ground.
He quickly cracked his back into place and then picked up his cane as he stood up. "You dumb animal, you could've killed me!" Takai then exclaimed. "Is this guy for real?" Shippo asked Kirara. She just shrugged slightly and got reay to attack again.
"Fine then! Ill just kill all of you before I get rid of Yusuke!" He then cracked his jaw and it opened about twice as big as his own head. He had several sharp teeth lining his mouth, some missing here or there. He then inhaled deeply and exhaled a large cloud of flames at them.
Shippo closed his eyes and Kirara jumped in front of him but neither of them took the blow. Shiro had pushed them out of the way and got hit with the worst of the attack. He then fell to the floor with half of his body badly burned. His grey fur had burned away and left only blackened skin in its stead.
"Oh no! Shiro!" Shippo then ran to the demon cat as he reverted back to his smaller form. "Oh well, that is unfortunate isnt it?" Takai then said without closing his huge mouth. He then inhaled deeply and exhaled another large fire ball.
This time Shippo wouldnt budge no matter how much Kirara pushed him. The flame was about to engluf them when a blast of blue energy flew by and extingushed the flames.
"Alright, now your through!" A newly awoken Yusuke said. He was nowhere near full power but he was still able to fight. "Well well. You may not be at full power but at least you will be able to provide me with more of a challenge then these weaklings." Takai said.
"Okay then, but I think I may put up a little too much of a fight for you old man!" Yusuke said as he charged up his spirit gun.
