On The Threshold of Fear

Fifteen

Miroku walked with his head low, staring exhaustedly at the ground as he walked beside Sango, slightly ahead of the others. It seemed they had been walking for hours and hours, yet the sun had only just begun to peak over the horizon as they walked through the forest, the first of the sun's rays trickling through the branches of the trees and down on them. Kilala straggled along behind them, Kagome still sleeping on her back with a dozing Shippo in her arms, and Inuyasha walking at Kilala's side.

'It just makes no sense,' Sango muttered to Miroku, 'how can there be two new moons less than a month apart, Kazuya being brought back can't have that much effect on the world; can it?' Miroku looked thoughtfully at her for a moment, before shaking his head.

'I guess not…but I believe that Sesshomaru might.'

'What?'

'Why do you think it took him so long to get back to us, he wouldn't have left Rin with us with Kazuya after us, not unless he had a really good reason.'

'So what are you saying he was doing? Trying to find a way to kill Kazuya?'

'Exactly, it's been bugging be for some time, why didn't Kazuya attack us when Inuyasha was human? Why would he have passed up an opportunity to take us down when we were at our weakest? Unless, he is afraid…'

'Of what? The new moon? Human Inuyasha?'

'Not exactly... My theory is that there is something more to this than Sesshomaru stated. Did you not notice that he failed to specifically say there was a new moon? I don't believe he knows of Inuyasha's human night, so there must be something else about the day after tomorrow which will affect both Kazuya and Inuyasha, tilting the odds to our advantage... That's why Sesshomaru made inuyasha swear to go at that precise time...'

Sango looked at her feet as she walked, thinking about what he had said, and decided silently that it was true.

'But that still doesn't explain how there is going to be a new moon tomorrow night.' Miroku looked up at the winding path ahead, as the sunlight became more dazzling through the trees.

'I think that…maybe, because Sesshomaru was gone for so long, he has discovered something is about to happen that is beyond our control...something to do with the new moon.' Sango shifted her Hirakoitsu higher up over her shoulder, trying to think about anything but how tired she was. She looked back at the others, and saw Inuyasha walking with his arm over Kagome's back to stop her slipping off Kilala; the youkai exterminator smiled, and turned back to face the sunrise with Miroku.

'I hope Kagome is going to be okay,' she muttered to him, 'lately she hasn't seemed to catch a break. Why does Kazuya have to be after her?'

'I guess because he wants to piss off Inuyasha,' he joked, stealing a glance back at the doting hanyou.

'Inuyasha's being really protective of her now,' she added.

'He's probably feeling guilty about letting her go, and her getting caught.'

'Good, it's his fault anyway.'

'Sango,' he muttered.

'No, she asked him not to leave her, and he still did, after promising he wouldn't, and she got caught, and…' she trailed off, not wanting to finish her sentence.

'Love makes things amazingly complicated Sango,' he replied, looking fixedly ahead of them, not meeting her eye.

'I guess so,' she agreed, falling silent.

'I mean…look at us.'

'What?' she asked, looking up at him.

'Come on, it wasn't that long ago, don't you even remember?' Sango didn't reply, she just flushed a violent red. 'I asked you if you would marry me after we killed Naraku.' Sango's eyes widened.

'Of course I remember, I thought you had forgotten about it.' Miroku smiled at her.

'I wouldn't forget something like that,' Sango looked away from him, feeling stupid; of course he wouldn't forget something that important. 'But I…I asked you then, thinking that my Wind Tunnel would have disappeared after Naraku's death. And it didn't, did it?' his voice was low, and she thought it sounded rather sad and hopeless.

'But…that doesn't mean anything; do you think I care about that?'

'No, but I care…' Sango looked at him in confusion as they walked, him still refusing to meet her eyes. 'I could never ask you, never expect you to do something like that when I…I don't want you to fall in love with me, only to have your heart broken if my…my Wind Tunnel will eventually swallow me whole if I can't rid myself of the curse, and I don't want you to fall in love with me for that reason.' Sango looked back at Inuyasha for a moment, making sure he hadn't heard them, and looked back at the monk.

'It's a little late for that kind of thinking, isn't it?' she asked. Miroku didn't look back at her, or reply, just thought about her reply. Does that mean…is Sango saying that she…loves me?

The time had passed into early morning by the time the trees thinned enough for them to see any way out of the maze of the forest. It was cold, and misty, The Temple of Lost Souls was just visible in the distance straight ahead. The party stopped as they reached the edge of the trees. Inuyasha took off his kimono, laying it over the sleeping Kagome, and stood beside Miroku and Sango.

'There it is, it would take us less than a day to get there if we walked straight on,' the two looked to him. 'But we have to keep out of sight until the new moon, so we'll follow the edge of the forest all the way round,' he pointed to where the edge of the forest curved round the temple, 'then we should be there by tomorrow morning, and we can rest until dark.' They agreed, though they couldn't deny that they wanted to rest now as well, they were so tired.

***

Kazuya traced his spindly, clawed fingers lightly over the runes on the wall, the firelight flickering over him, casting a deformed shadow across the wall, which seemed to move of its own accord.

'Umm…my - my Lord?' Kazuya sneered, and turned to face the snivelling servant at his side. 'There have been no sightings of Inuyasha and the others in the mirror,' he muttered with a low bow.

'Damn, something, some sort of magic must be protecting them,' said Kazuya, more to himself than Nikaido. 'Are you completely incompetent you filthy snivelling worm? Remind me again why I haven't killed you?'

'P-p-p-p-p-please S-s-sir, you said you r-r-required my help,' he stammered, fear flashing in the quivering grey orbs.

'Help?' muttered the demon, closing his eyes and rubbing his temples with his fingertips as if he had a migraine. 'What can you help me with? Insolent creeping wretch!' Nikaido bowed lower, sensing his master's temper.

'Please Sir, I-I-I have d-d-discovered something in the alignment.' Kazuya turned to look at him, suddenly interested now.

'And that is?' Nikaido looked fixedly at the ground, before daring to speak.

'It seems s-s-sir, that the moon's path is...acting strange...if it doesn't steer off it's current course, it will pass the sun.'

The crimson orbs of Kazuya's eyes shimmered, temporarily showing fear, and then panic.

'No, there can't be, if he comes here during the eclipse he will…'

'Begging your most humble pardons Sir, but if - as the runes read - an eclipse occurs, the half-demon Inuyasha will become human, and will surely avoid you if he is-'

'-No!' interrupted Kazuya, looking thoughtfully at the ground, 'Sesshomaru knew about the eclipse, I know that, and he has - a brief idea of why Inuyasha must not cross my path at that time. He was working alongside Inuyasha in the battle, I thought I had killed that damn demon, but I sensed his presence again, after Inuyasha took Kagome from me. Inuyasha knows to come here during the night where the moon crosses the sun…' Kazuya stood before Nikaido, silent, and thoughtful for a moment, before roaring in anger, and punching the wall sharply with his fist. 'DAMN IT!' he screamed, as his bleeding knuckles healed instantly. 'I am immortal! I am all-powerful, a stupid insignificant half demon shouldn't pose such a big threat to me, so why this one?'

'Please sir, not that it matters, but…the demon Inuyasha has faced innumerable great warriors, demons and creatures that have posed enormous threats to this world, and he has killed every one of them.'

Nikaido flinched as his master looked up at him, his crimson eyes staring ominously. The demon stepped slowly towards him, and he swallowed hard.

'Are you saying, Nikaido, that I will fail?' Nikaido shuddered as his master held him up by his throat, his claws digging into his neck, and he shook his head.

'N-n-n-no! No Sir!' he choked as the claws dug in deeper.

'Good, because if I go Nikaido, you go with me, understand, Inuyasha will kill you for serving me, got it?' Nikaido nodded again, and his master dropped him to the ground. 'Get to your feet!' he ordered, and the snivelling coward at his feet leapt up. 'Now to think…how can I possibly fix this?' muttered Kazuya to himself, pacing a circle around his servant. Nikaido shuddered, and looked up at the ceiling as he spoke nervously.

'Please Sir, I - I have an idea.' Kazuya grinned evilly as he stopped his pacing, and looked at him curiously. 'We may not be able to stop Inuyasha from coming here, but his arrival doesn't mean the end. We - that is you, could summon the power of the Sages, and resurrect lost ghosts of The Glass.'

Kazuya looked at him as if he were crazy for a moment. Before his pale, lifeless face eventually broke into a slow, grimace, and his insane, evil laughter filled the temple. Nikaido tried not to shiver, though he could not help it, even when his master stopped laughing. Kazuya strutted past the cowardly Nikaido, and stopped before the black waters of the mirror. He looked into its depths, and flickered his eyes towards the torch on the wall, burning a blue flame, sending it flying into the Black Mirror's depths. Just as it was when he was resurrected, the fire spilt over the surface like fire on oil. Kazuya raised his arms out either side of him, causing Nikaido to be paralysed with fear as ancient, foreign words were uttered from Kazuya's mouth, echoing throughout the temple. Nikaido struggled to interpret the words, but all he got was random words that he could understand something about powers, and the sun, the moon and the dead. Suddenly the thousand upon thousands of the firefly looking spirits from the Glass Path materialised amongst the flames, and shimmered there for a moment, the fire roaring about them. Kazuya grinned evilly, but Nikaido far from grinning, as he watched in terror, the spirits slowly changing, mutilating, morphing into totally new forms. Nikaido's grey eyes widened in fear at the new shapes, as they became more distinct, and they walked out of the roaring sapphire flames, bowing down before their master, Kazuya.

***

Sango shot up, waking with a start. She didn't know if what she had seen was real, or a dream, all she saw now was the others sitting idly round the fire in one way or another. Shippo and Kilala were curled up close to the fire, Miroku was close beside herself, trying not to nod off, and opposite her, across the fire Kagome sat, Inuyasha bandaging her wrists once more. Kagome looked over at Sango and smiled at her; Sango, who was somehow out of breath, tried to smile back, though found it near impossible.

'Sango?' asked Kagome, 'are you okay?' Sango swallowed hard, trying to steady her breathing, and nodded her reply.

'Are you sure?' asked Inuyasha, not really looking at her, 'you look like crap.'

'Thanks Inuyasha,' she replied, looking through the trees where they sat, and out across the horizon. The ominous shadow of the Temple of Lost Souls sat not far off; they had reached the edge of the forest where they needed to be, it had taken them a little longer than expected to get there, and there were only a few hours until the new moon.

Sango sighed as her breathing stabilised, and she got steadily to her feet. Miroku and the others looked up to her in confusion.

'Where are you going?' asked a sleepy Shippo, his eyes only half open.

'I just…I need to…be back in a moment,' she turned and walked further into the forest, making Inuyasha shrug slightly, continuing tightening the bandages. Miroku watched her go, and Shippo smiled evilly at him.

'Maybe you should go after her Miroku,' suggested the kitsune, making Miroku look to him. 'But no funny business, go it?' Miroku smiled back, and got to his feet, following Sango's footsteps.

'Do you think that was such a good idea?' Kagome asked Inuyasha. Inuyasha shrugged again. 'I think that Sango might have wanted to be alone at the moment.'

'Good, those guys always mess with me all the time; it's time they got some of their own medicine.'

'Inuyasha,' she sighed.

'What?'

***

Miroku followed Sango only a little way away from Kagome, Inuyasha and the others. She dropped down beside the radiant stream that flowed silently through the forest, and he watched her as she gazed at her reflection for a moment, before she cupped some of the water in her hands, and splashed it over her face. Miroku smiled slightly, and knelt down at her side.

'So, you going to let me know what's wrong or…?' Sango didn't look up at him; she just continued to gaze at her reflection, not moving.

'Nothing really, I just…I had this dream, or maybe it wasn't a dream…Kohaku was there, and you, and everybody…I don't really remember much about it now but, I just know it was really terrible, and I lost you all.' Miroku placed his hand on her shoulder, and smiled at her.

'It's just Kazuya; he is a fear demon, naturally when we're this close to him our dreams will be affected by him.'

Sango pulled away from his hand slightly, still not looking at him.

'I just think that, we're sitting on the threshold to fear right now, and I can't help but think that somehow…there's this feeling at the pit of my stomach…'

'Yeah well, I don't exactly know what was in that food we just had but it wasn't that-'

'-No,' she interrupted, 'I don't feel sick, or maybe I do…all I know is that I have this feeling, that something is going to happen when we go in there, and we're not all going to come back out.' She looked up at him now, and he was shocked slightly to see fear in her brown eyes.

Now Miroku thought about it, he could feel the same ominous feeling inside him, which entering the temple would mean that some of them might not come out. 'The odds are pretty much against us right now, aren't they?'

'I know what you mean, Sango, I really do, but…the odds are always against us, we can be outnumbered fifty to one and we have always won.'

'But almost always at a price,' she replied.

'Yes, but though it may not seem like it to us, in the long run, the prices we pay, the things we have to sacrifice, they're worth it.' Sango looked back at her reflection for a moment, and Miroku knew she was thinking about Kohaku when she had spoken about prices.

'Is it so hard…is it too much to ask to be able to keep something good? With all the good we do for this damn world! When was the last time we got repaid for everything we have done, everything we've had to give up?'

'That's not how it works.'

'I know, I know I just…it seems so unfair…'

Miroku slid his hand over hers, and he smiled at her once more.

'It is unfair, the world can be unfair, but that's what we're fighting for, and you can't tell me you don't think it's worth it, can you?' Sango looked as though she might say no for a moment.

'I guess that, sometimes I think that it's not, and then I realise what I still have, as opposed to what I've lost and I realise that there is still something left worth fighting for.' Miroku stood up slowly, Sango drawing to her feet beside him. 'But what if…what if you die in there, or Kagome, or Inuyasha or-'

'-Hey,' he interrupted, 'life is far too short to stand about and keep saying: "what if, what if," stop thinking how terrible life might turn out and don't be afraid to live it, okay?' Sango smiled, and nodded. They turned, starting to walk back towards Inuyasha and the others, when suddenly Miroku stopped.

'What is it?' asked Sango nervously.

'Can't you…didn't you hear that?' she stopped, listening, her eyes meeting Miroku's as she heard it too, 'Inuyasha!'

***

Kagome winced as Inuyasha tightened the last bandage into place, and sat back on the ground beside her, staring pensively up at the sky through the treetops.

'Where the hell are they?' he thought out loud, 'the sun is going to set soon, we need to be going.' Kagome sighed, lying back on the grass, ignoring him.

'Why are you in such a hurry? It's only just sunset,' she muttered to him. He turned to her, wearing a bemused look on his face.

'You know why, why are you being such a-' he stopped, thinking better of what he was about to call her. 'What's up with you tonight?' Kagome shrugged, not tearing her eyes from the sunset. 'You're acting really…are you okay?' She made no reply, no gesture that she had even acknowledged his question. 'Alright you're pissed at me, what did I do now?' he demanded of her, but still no reply.

Inuyasha sighed, his face scrunched with concentration, trying to think of a reason she could be angry. 'Is it because of what happened before Sango and the others came?' no reply. 'Take that as a yes. Hey listen, if I offended you in some way…or was it - I know I crossed a line, touching you and all, but I was trying to help you. And you didn't seem angry back there - Damn it Kagome will you say something!' He grabbed her shoulder roughly, turning her to face him. She stared at him, or rather through him, as if he wasn't even there, as if she were sitting alone on the grass. 'Kagome?' he asked, though she still did not reply, I must have really annoyed her; she isn't even looking at me…wait a second! His eyes widened then at his horrific realisation, her eyes - they weren't normal.

The brightness in the hazel of her eyes, usually glistening with life were not the same anymore. Inuyasha's breath caught in his throat as he looked into her dull, lifeless hazel eyes, hoping beyond hope that there was some mistake, hoping it was some trick of the light. Without really thinking what he was doing, he grabbed her roughly by the chin, turning her face to the light slightly, and his heart sank, it wasn't a mistake, even as the fast disappearing sunlight silhouetted her smooth face, her eyes were as dull as ever, not even a reflection of the light within them, as if they were somehow otherworldly. But she's not dead, he thought, and he was right, she was still breathing, and she was sitting perfectly still beside him.

Suddenly as the light flickered into her dead eyes, she flinched, pulling sharply out of his grip, and retreated slightly from him, all as fast as ever he had seen her move. 'Kagome?' he asked, hopefully, crawling towards her slowly, only to see her lift her head slightly, so that her eyes and nose were visible above her arm which she had held over her face as she shrivelled into a heap on the ground. His hopefulness evaporated, her eyes were still blank, and showed no pupil. Inuyasha sat her up again, and once again her body posed the way he sat her with relative ease, like a puppet. Inuyasha's eyes widened even further as he watched her recoil from the sunlight once more as it struck her eyes, and she curled up into a shivering bundle at his side.

Inuyasha was beyond confused. Why does she shrink from the light? Unless she's possessed, but that makes no sense, she would have attacked by now. Inuyasha shot up as he realised that Kagome was no longer at his side; he scanned the camp, and saw her making her slow way out of the camp and towards the temple. He leapt after her, and grabbed her roughly, turning her to face him. 'I know that you're not Kagome, but I know she's in there somewhere, and you ain't taking her body anywhere near that place, understand?' Inuyasha watched her pale, expressionless face, expecting some form of reaction, waiting in silence.

Suddenly Kagome lifted her hand, and slapped him hard across the face, knocking him off balance. Inuyasha was surprised that he needed to wipe a trickle of blood from his mouth, 'Okay, I know Kagome well enough to know that she couldn't hit that hard, and even if she could, she'd never draw blood. What the hell are you?' he asked Kagome, getting steadily to his feet. He thought he saw a flicker of a cruel smile on her face as she watched him, before she reached behind her back, pulling a scared arrow from a quiver, which Inuyasha had only just noticed was there. 'Wh-where did you get that from?' he asked her shakily as she put the arrow to a bow that until now, had also been invisible to him. Inuyasha gulped, as she held the bowstring taught with the arrow. 'Kagome wait!' he shouted, but too late. The arrow sped through the air, the fuchsia energy flying towards him. Inuyasha winced as it skimmed his cheek, leaving a great gash behind, and taking a few strands of silver hair with his blood as it stuck in a tree behind him. Inuyasha turned to look at it in surprise as it hit the bark, only to see to his horror, that as the fuchsia light faded, a blackness spread over the bark from the arrow, the bark, the leaves, the roots, the tree was dead. 'But…sacred arrows aren't supposed to do that?' he questioned Kagome, turning to face her, but something in her face told him that those were not sacred arrows.

Inuyasha leapt up to avoid another arrow, stopping quickly and hurtling to the ground as one skimmed over the top of his head. An arrow stuck in the ground by his foot, barely millimetres away from it, and he rolled over sideways to avoid the following arrow. Dirt flew up from the ground as he skidded in a misshapen zigzag pattern, trying to avoid the attacks. Suddenly he had wound his way to her side, but instead of shooting him, she punched him in the face, sending him flying backwards. Inuyasha skidded to a halt, not far from Shippo and Kilala who had just awoken, and had no idea what was going on. Inuyasha watched the fuchsia light hurtle towards the two. 'KILALA, SHIPPO RUN! IT ISN'T KAGOME!' they leapt in opposite directions, safely evading the attack and the impostor Kagome nearly smirked as she turned her attention back towards Inuyasha.

Inuyasha jumped forwards, landing before Kagome. 'Listen, stop this now!' Kagome punched him again, though only winding him, and this time he snarled nastily at her. 'You bitch will you listen! I don't want to hurt-' he stopped as she punched him again. Inuyasha wiped the blood from his nose, growling savagely at her once more, and before even thinking, he punched her back in the stomach. She skidded backwards on her feet, blood dripping from her mouth. Inuyasha's eyes widened at the blood, and not realising she still wasn't Kagome, ran forward and pulled her into a hug. 'Kagome I'm sorry! I didn't want to hit you - please forgive me!' Inuyasha was reminded painfully then that she was not Kagome, as she kicked him hard in the stomach. 'You fucking little whore!' he shouted, turning her sharply, and pulling his arms round her throat, choking her. 'Get out of her you hear me!'

'Inuyasha stop it!' pleaded Shippo as he and Kilala recovered from their escape and realised what was happening.

'I SAID GET OUT!' Kagome wheezed slightly, and Inuyasha realised whether the thing was Kagome or not, it had her body, and was about to let go, before she held his arms there, sinking her teeth into his flesh. Inuyasha screamed trying to pull away but finding himself unable to. 'Bitch! Let go!' Inuyasha tightened his hold on her windpipe again, and her teeth let go of him, but Inuyasha did not let go.

'Inuyasha stop!' shouted the kitsune, hearing the violent wheezing from Kagome as she struggled to breathe.

Kagome threw her head backwards, smacking him in the face. Inuyasha screamed in pain as more crimson blood poured from his nose. He knocked her to the ground and pinned her to there, his clawed hands on her throat once more. 'GET OUT OF HER!'

'INUYASHA STOP!' Kilala and Shippo leapt towards him, pleading him to let her go. To their horror, the purple marks grew across his cheeks, and his pupils disappeared amongst the blazing redness of his full demon iris.

'You don't know Shippo, she's not Kagome!' he growled, the real Inuyasha still not fully lost yet. 'There's something in her, and I'm gonna make it come out!'

'But she'll be killed, Kagome is still in there and she can't breathe!'

'Silence you wretched kitsune!' he snarled, one clawed hand momentarily leaving Kagome's throat, and sending Shippo flying into Kilala.

The full demon Inuyasha was taking control, and as the pupils re-emerged, but now a frightening shade of dark green, his hold on the trembling girl's throat tightened, even as the brightness and life returned to her eyes.

'Inu…yasha…' she gasped as she regained the control of her body. 'Inuyasha, it's-' She choked on her words as he tightened his grip even more, not allowing her to speak. Kagome ran her fingers up his arms, digging her nails hard into his skin, but this only heightened his ferocity, making him bash her head against the ground, and she winced. Kagome grabbed his kimono, and with all the strength she could muster, pulled him forcibly down towards her, pressing her lips against his. Kagome knew this would work, it had before; this was her only hope. She gasped in shock and pain as he pulled back, snarling at her even more, and as he did his fang scratched her lip, making it bleed terribly. 'But Inuyasha…' she choked, 'I…l-l-love…' he pushed down as hard as he could on her throat, and Kagome closed her eyes in pain, she was sure her neck would snap any moment now.

The demon Inuyasha howled as a fully transformed Kilala sank her teeth into his shoulder, Inuyasha released Kagome slightly, and she pushed his arms away, pulling her own tightly round him, hugging him fiercely. Inuyasha was still at Kilala's mercy, and he did nothing but snarl at Kagome's affections. She took his hand in her own, and nuzzled it against her cheek, taking one of his clawed fingertips and running it over the nasty, bleeding cut on her lip. 'Inuyasha, I know you're in there somewhere,' he snarled again, making her recoil slightly, but not move or release him. 'You did this to me,' she whispered to him, as his finger paced over the blood dripping out of the cut on her lip. Kagome closed her eyes as his still remained as red as ever, she had no hope left, he was stuck in his demon form.

'I'm - I'm sorry,' she opened her eyes again hastily as she heard it. His eyes were a paler red, and the marks on his face were faded slightly, the real Inuyasha was not back, he was just there for one split second. 'I don't - I never wanted to-' He leant down, taking back control of his body for that moment, though still under the attack of Kilala as well as his demon side. Inuyasha closed his eyes, nuzzling his face close to Kagome's.

Kagome watched as the sun descended even further. The sun, if it crosses the moon and Inuyasha is still in control of his body, he will be human. Even at these thoughts, Inuyasha jerked slightly, his demon side trying to take back control of him. Kagome looked desperately up at him, just a few more seconds and they'd be safe.

'Kilala let go of him!' she screamed, the cat demon did not move, knowing she was the only thing stopping Inuyasha from ripping out Kagome's throat right now, she couldn't see Inuyasha fighting it, she couldn't see his eyes flittering from red to gold rapidly, back and forth. 'Kilala do it!' Kilala reluctantly released him, only to see that Inuyasha and Kagome remained much as they were, Inuyasha was still fighting. Kagome stood on tiptoes, nuzzling against him once more, catching the real Inuyasha for a brief moment. 'Inuyasha…' she muttered, her eyes closed.

'Ka-Kagome…' he replied hoarsely, the demon side overtaking him slightly more with each second.

'Kiss me…' Inuyasha, not fully himself, or fully demon, met her movements halfway, and pressed his lips softly against hers.
