Chapter 9: Naraku

It's been a couple months since I've joined Sesshomaru's group. You can say I've grown accustom to this group. Not only that but Rin has become nothing but closer to me. How can everyone not be her best friend? She's just so lovable. Just like my own little sister. I guess you can say that I've begun to love my life here a lot.

I've completely forgot about my mother…When so many good things, positive experiences happen to you…You begin to forget the negative ones. At first that's all I thought about but now I'm just so happy that I don't need to think about that. I have a life, friends…What more could a girl ask for? Perhaps one day my mother would be able to surpass the anger she has for demons and realize that she was not only married to a demon but was a mother to one as well…

Sesshomaru has been as quite as ever but I do feel closer to him. I can tell that he cares a lot for Rin…He protects her from everything, takes her feelings into consideration…How did Kagome not see this? How could she only see the negatives…There is more to people than the shell that they project…You have to get to know them to realize exactly who they are, and Kagome didn't give him the chance in a day. But than again he may have tried to kill her so than I may not blame her.

Suddenly Sesshomaru stopped walking and everyone else stopped walking. Sesshomaru's head perked up and his hand immediately went onto his sword called Tokjin. I looked up and immediately stood in front of Rin. I saw Kagura come down on her feather and land in front of Sesshomaru. I put a hand on my sword and felt a growl come from my throat.

"…I do not wish to fight you Sesshomaru…"Kagura said as she looked at me.

"…S-She is on your team?"Kagura asked as I smirked

"Yeah! What's it to you?" I asked her as she chuckled

"Just curious…I'm only going to say this once…Naraku's castle is to the west in a village called Minamo…You must hurry…I do not know how long he plans to stay there." Kagura told us as I gave her a confused look

"Why are you telling us this?"

"…I wish Naraku to be dead…That is all."

We all stayed silent but she just laughed. She grabbed a feather that was on her bun and put it to the ground. She jumped on it and looked back at Sesshomaru.

"Believe me if you wish to. But I am not lying." Kagura said as she flew off into the sky.

"Rin stay here. Jaken stay with her." Sesshomaru said as she nodded.

She sat on Ah-Un and Sesshomaru began to walk towards the west. Jaken leaned up against Ah-Un and closed his eyes. I was following Sesshomaru but…I felt scared.

"This can be a trap Sesshomaru." I told him as he turned to look at me.

"I'm just saying you can be walking in to a dangerous place without a back-up plan to protect ourselves from the many dangerous traps that they could have set for us is pretty stupid." I continued as I could see he was getting annoyed by my comments.

"Don't get annoyed because I am right! You know that this could be the truth!" I said as I took another step closer to him

"…Let's go." He said as I could tell he was gritting his teeth at me in his mouth.

"Fine, your fault if we die." I muttered as I followed him towards the west which lead into a forest.

(Time passed)

So basically we made it to the castle…It defiantly looked scary. The sky was pitch black, the clouds were dark. The castle was shrouded in a dark atmosphere. I felt my body shake in fear but I kept that to myself. I slowly followed the fearless Sesshomaru up the street that lead to the entrance of the castle.

I looked around at empty village houses that were at the bottom of the castle, surrounding the castle. I felt my body shake again in fear. Though I did not wish to tell Sesshomaru about my fear…I did not want to burden him with such nonsense…

We continued to walk and I began to feel more scared. I kept on checking behind me with such fear of something being there. Even though nothing was there every time. But while I was walking straight ahead…I felt something touch my shoulder. I couldn't hide it anymore. I screamed at the top of my lungs and ran in front of Sesshomaru. He gave me an annoyed look as he looked back to see what had scared me so.

There was a man laying on the floor. He wore a blue kimono top with brown pants. He had dark blue eyes that showed the pain that he was feeling. He had short white hair and he had wrinkles on his face. He perked up his head from the ground and looked at Sesshomaru and me.

"D-D…D-Demon…castle…k-killed…v-vill..ag…e" He breathed in as I could see his head hit the floor.

Sesshomaru turned around and began to walk up the street towards the castle. I gulped and ran up to him. I began to follow closer to him. I knew he was annoyed by me but I couldn't help it. I was terrified of this place.

When we reached the entrance of the castle I gasped when I saw a man looking thing sitting on the porch of the castle. I turned to Sesshomaru who immediately put his hand on his sword.

The man had long black hair that was curly and had it tied into a high ponytail. He had dark red eyes and blue eye shadow. He wore a blue jacket that ended after his knees. He wore bone amour that curved out of his back and around his shoulders, coming back into his back. He had two bone pieces on his shoulders pointing straight out. He wore bone shoulder and forearm pads. On his hands was a piece of bone that had a red demon eye on it. On his bone armor chest plate there was another red demon eye popping out. He wore a dark blue kimono and dark blue pants. He had a yellow ribbon that tied around his waist and part of the bone chest plate. He had black boots that ended at his knees. He had a couple of green tentacles coming out of his back.

Okay…creepy. He's got tentacle demon arms coming out of him. How the hell does this work? So this is Naraku…God…He's really creepy…And I didn't like that evil aura around him. I could tell he was up to no good.

"Naraku…" Sesshomaru said as Naraku laughed

"Hello Sesshomaru…I see you added a new member to your team." Naraku said as I put a hand on my sword.

"She's like Kagome…Not from this world…Hmm that is interesting." He continued

"Screw off! You evil bastard! You've destroyed so many happy lives! How could you?" I yelled as he smirked

"…You must have met Inuyasha's group."

"…Go to hell."

"Yune!" I heard a familiar voice say from behind me.

I turned around and saw Inuyasha's group running towards the castle. I nodded to them as I pulled out my sword. Sesshomaru just glanced at me but he knew I was pissed. I hated this man. How could he hurt so many people?

I felt my fists clench tighter on the swords handle. I felt my fangs grow and my claws grow as well. I knew my eyes have become blue and red like those couple of times before. Naraku smirked as he knew I was getting angrier at him.

"Let's kill this bastard." I told Sesshomaru as he was already running towards Naraku.

I held my sword towards the sky and smiled.

"Lightning eyes!" I screamed as a bolt of lighting came flying down towards Naraku.

He barley dodged it and by than Sesshomaru was by him. Sesshomaru began to swing his sword at him as Kagome and the others made it beside me.

"Yune." Kagome said as I smiled at her

"Hello Kagome. Can we kill this bastard now?" I said as she gave me a confused look.

"Why are you so angry at him?"

"He hurt my friends."

I quickly charged at him, slicing an arm off because he was too distracted by Sesshomaru. He gave me a disgusted look and one of his tentacles came shooting at me. I jumped up as the tentacle smashed into the castle. I jumped so high that I was casually gliding down. But than I felt something wrap around my foot.

I screamed as I got pulled down into the castle. I felt the tentacle pull me down the floors and than out the front door of the castle. Than when I was outside the tentacle chucked me. I went flying into the castle's wall. I felt my back contact with the wall and than bounce off due to the force. I coughed up blood as my body fell to the ground.

I quivered on the ground in pain. I felt my body curl up into a ball trying to deal with the pain or push out the pain. I clenched my sword that was in my stretched out arm.

"Yune!" Kagome screamed as she came up to me.

She knelt down to me and put a hand onto my back. She than flipped me over so I was laying on my back. I moaned in pain but slowly sat up. Kagome gave me a worried look as I just smiled to her.

Just than I saw Sesshomaru slide on his knees a couple feet away from me. I looked at him to see his sword was pushed into the ground to keep him there. He was getting worn out. Naraku sure knew how to put up a fight. But that's when I noticed it. A tentacle was aiming for Sesshomaru and he didn't see it…

I didn't even know what happened. I just felt my body move so quickly that I didn't even feel the pain. I ran in front of Sesshomaru…And…I felt something pierce my stomach. My eyes widened and I felt the blood pour out of the sides of my mouth. My eyes began to get extremely heavy. I felt the pain but couldn't scream. The tentacle pulled out of my stomach and my body feel to the ground.

I looked up to see my eyes become blurred. But I saw Sesshomaru's widened eyes and he was giving me an angry look. So he could have dodged that…Well…It doesn't matter…I had to protect him…He…well…I felt my eyes close and breathed out the last breath I would ever take.
