Shippo,Ginta and Hakkaku looked down at the scene in front of them. The Entire circle around them had shattered and Inuyasha was laying there limp.
Oh no! Inuyasha! Shippo yelled. he was about to soar down when ginta grabbed one of shippos Very,very thin arms.
Wait Shippo! Look! That thing that hurt him is flying away! We can catch him! Ginta told him. Shippo shook his head and soared down. With a *POP!* Shippo had turned back into his fox form and ran over to Inuyasha.
Inuyasha! INUYASHA! Can you hear me?! Open your eyes! Shippo yelled into his ear. There was no response from the Blood-soaked warrior. Ginta and Hakkaku walked over.
It looks like he s been poisoned. Hakkaku pointed out,pointing at his looked over at the shoulder. He felt his need for leadership and concern kick in.
Hakkaku! Run over to Kagome s bag and Take out the first aid kit! Its the white box with a cross on it. Ginta! Get me something to wrap his wound with! Shippo commanded them. They looked at Shippo for a second with Questionable gazes before doing what he asked. Hakkaku ran over to the yellow bag and opened it. He ran back with the white box,while Ginta took off his fur jacket and Wrapped it Tight around the wound. Shippo opened the white box and looked around.
Which one is it?! Come on! Come on Shippo think! Wait a minute! I think Kagome used this medicine after we fought with that moth demon! Shippo exclaimed as he pulled the bottle out. he opened it and took out some of the medicine. He grabbed a water bottle kept in there and Scurried to Inuyasha. He opened the dog s mouth and threw the pills in,then poured in some water. Inuyasha Choked and swallowed the pills before going back to unconsciousness.
All three of them looked at eachother before sitting on the ground. Shippo looked down at himself,clutching his hands. If only he d been able to was able to keep the wolves away,that was good, but he should have put them down somewhere and gone back to help! Damn him!
Stupid Inuyasha! Why couldn t you wait for me to get back?! I ve always got to bail you out of these situations! I can t let you out of my sight for a minute! You re so stupid! AGH! He shouted out while rapping himself on the head
*BONK* A Fist collided with the top of Shippo s head,leaving a big swelling bump.
OWWW! Shippo cried out,holding his head.
You wouldn t have been any help anyway Shippo.. Inuyasha Growled weakly,sitting up. Shippo s Eyes widened.
Inuyasha! You re awake! That was fast! Shippo Exclaimed. Inuyasha only smirked.
It s going to take alot more than a weak demon poison to keep me down for good. Those pills just got rid of the rest of it while I was asleep. Inuyasha grunted out,trying to stand up. He managed to get to his feet and Shippo joined him.
Wow Inuyasha..That s incredible! You re probably stronger than Koga! He d be down for hours if that happened to him Ginta exclaimed. Hakkaku nodded sadly,forced to agree.
You re just beginning to realize that ya puny wolves? Inuyasha asked them,but didn t wait for an answer. C mon, we re almost near the top.
Inuyasha started walking,but it was obvious that he was injured. He was walking alot slower. Ginta was carrying the backpack now and Shippo was walking behind Inuyasha,so as to not make any more burdens
Inuyasha,shouldn t we rest? You re still healing. Shippo asked.
Shut up! Inuyasha barked at him. I ve been through alot worse than this. Let s keep going.
Inuyasha picked up the pace a bit and they continued to follow him,baffled by his stubbornness.
Meanwhile,
Sango jumped above the Kusarigama and continued to run from Kohaku. She couldn t do it! Every move she would use would kill him! She can t use hiraikotsu, her poisonpowder,her sword,nothing! Kirara Flew down and She jumped up on her friend.
You re not getting away sister! Kohaku Yelled as he Threw the Kusarigama at Kirara.
*BAM!* Michiru jumped into the air and pulled out his Shikiga. He smashed the kusarigama back at Kohaku.
You re not Kohaku! Michiru yelled at the male Demon-slayer. You don t deserve to call her your sister!
Kohaku pulled back his kusarigama and caught it.
Then maybe I ll call her my late Sister! Kohaku Snarled as his Flaming eye glowed yellow. From the Darkness of his body,A figure began to emerge. Kohaku yelled out in pain in his real voice and it almost brought tears to Sango s Eyes.
The two watched as a wicked Creature jumped from the body of Kohaku. It had two lions heads, Claws for Feet and a giant snakes tail, but it was coated in complete blackness and it s eyes were blood red. Kohaku jumped on top of the creature and smirked. Michiru Recognized the creature.
It s a Chimera! Michiru yelled out.
How fortunate you know what this beast is,Kururugi. My master gave me this lovely pet to destroy you with! So! You ready for round two?!
The Chimera Reared its legs and Kohaku,using it s hair as reigns, Made it leap at Michiru. Michiru got into a stance.
Oh overflowing blue sky! Protect me with your ray of light! Michiru shouted to the winds. A Yellow Star appeared under Michiru and The Beast smashed into something invisible,right in front of Michiru.
What?! Kohaku Gasped. The Beast tried to claw at the Wall,but it didn t do anything. Michiru grunted a bit though. his energy was already waning from this beasts power. At this moment,Sango Jumped in,
HIRAKOTSU! Sango flew down and Thrust Her Boomerang forward. The Hiraikotsu Turned deep purple. The Boomerang attacked the leg and surprisingly,the leg came clean off! The beast fell to the ground and struggled to get up,black ooze pouring out of its wound.
What?! Kohaku snarled in a voice very unlike his. I cannot be hurt by mortal Weapons! How is this possible?!
Sango Caught her hiraikotsu and Landed on the ground,Brandishing it threateningly.
Now that I think about it, my Hiraikotsu isn t a mortal s Weapon! My Hiraikotsu is forged through the bones of Demons,and it contains their Spirits. After I ve visited the potions master and got my hiraikotsu fixed,I ve been able to Channel their Energy through Hiraikotsu,and I will use that to defeat you! She Yelled to him.
If that s the case then.. A calm voice came out from the darkness. A Sutra Flew and attached to The Chimera. Electricity Shot out and overwhelmed the Chimera.
WIND TUNNEL! The voice Shot out again. An unimaginable wind pulled kohaku and the Chimera towards it. Kohaku jumped off and sunk his Kusarigama into the ground,holding him down. The Chimera was not so lucky. It disappeared into a small hole in the hand of the monk who now appeared, Miroku. He covered his right hand with the beads and the wind stopped
Miroku! Michiru and Sango Chanted,before turning back to Kohaku. He Stood up and growled.
You may have defeated my pet,but I ll take you down! Kohaku yelled out as he charged towards michiru. michiru pulled out the Shikiga as Kohaku drew a sword and They collided. For a minute or so, Kohaku and Michiru continued to clash swords,but Michiru was clearly stronger now and his sword was channeling his spiritual power. The ordinary sword bounced off the shikiga and he thrusted forward. The Shikiga Shot into the Dark side of Kohaku s Shoulder and He Unleashed his shikigami Energy.
Kohaku Got to his knees and threw his head to the sky. he looked like he was choking. After a few seconds, Kohaku threw up and a Black Bug fell out of his body. in that instance, The dark version of his body began to fade,and he returned back to normal. Miroku Threw his staff down on the black bug and It was purified,destroyed
Sango Ran over to his Brother as Michiru ripped out the Shikiga. They Watched as Kohaku s Shoulder Began to bleed. Miroku Turned towards them as Sango took her brother into her arms.
Michiru Ripped off his Shirt,exposing his Chest. He had gotten alot stronger since he was with the group,and it shown now that Michiru was beginning to get a small build on his body. He tied the Shirt around the wound and stood up. He Turned to Miroku and nodded. They both closed their eyes. Michiru clasped his hands together as Miroku held his up.
Oh overflowing mighty river. Give us your blessing.. Michiru Chanted.
Miroku began to chant as well and he tapped his staff on the ground. A blue light and a green light enveloped Kohaku,and The bleeding soon stopped. The wound was rapidly healing as well,as they both dropped their hands.
Sango looked down at her brother..he looked so peaceful now. He may be free from Aku s control,but he was still under Naraku s..Eventually,he ll run away again..but for now..he s unconcious..and out of his control..She had him to herself..and she would cherish every second.
So Michiru s voice broke through her brain. Why did you follow us Miroku? Michiru asked Miroku,trying to sound pleasant.
Miroku looked a little stunned by the question. He just saved their lives and he chooses to bring that up now?!
Well..you guys were taking so long,I thought I would come check up- Miroku started up but Sango interjected.
So you were spying on us! Sango bursted now.
I was not! I was merely looking out for your safety Sango! Miroku retorted. Michiru Growled.
Oh,so not for Michiru s Safety? He can be left to die as long as I m alive?! Sango Continued,Lifting her brother off the ground and placed him against a tree. She Stood up and glared at Miroku,who was sweating bullets now.
O-Of Course I care about Michiru s safety! I was only stating you first because I was talking to you. Miroku stated flatly,his voice turned into a croak and he lost his sage like tone.
Hmph.. Sango only said that before walking over to Michiru.
I m not too happy with you either Michiru.. Sango said sadly. Michiru turned to her.
Wh-What did I do Sango?! Michiru asked,terrified now,though Miroku now had a gleeful face on.
Well..You stabbed my brother in the shoulder.. Sango stated flatly. Miroku jumped in.
Yes that was extremely foolish of you Michiru! if you were any closer you could have stabbed Kohaku in the heart. You should have just let me handle it and I wouldn t have Made blood shed. Miroku said in an almost arrogant voice. Sango Glared at Miroku again and his gleeful expression left his face,to be replaced with sweating again.
It was in the spur of the moment Miroku! Michiru had no choice! Sango defended Michiru. Sango was an odd girl..She said she was upset with him,and yet she still defends him.
but Miroku s Right Sango..I could have handled it better..I shouldn t have hurt Kohaku like that.. Michiru told her softly,turning her attention back to me. Sango sighed and hugged him Gently,causing Miroku to grow a jealous/furious look.
It s okay..I forgive you . She pulled her head back and gave him a quick peck on the lips. But I m still upset with you. She added. Michiru smiled a little.
That s okay..I d be upset with any of you if you hurt Kaname that way.. Michiru consoled to her.
KANAME AND KAGOME! All three of them Shouted with Shocked expressions. They were all so distracted by what just happened that they completely forgot about them! Sango Grabbed her Hiraikotsu and tied it around her. Michiru pocketed his Shikiga as Kirara flew down to them. Sango turned around to grab Kohaku,when she realized..
Kohaku s Gone! Sango shouted out. Kohaku must have awoken and ran away from them..oh no this is terrible! Kohaku s wound may re-open! She was brought back by michiru gripping her hand and bringing her towards Kirara.
Sango,He ll be fine! The Shikon Jewel is keeping him alive! he won t die that easily! Now C mon! Michiru jumped onto Kirara s back and helped Sango up in front of him. She Grasped Kirara s fur and was about to take off,when a shout came down
Excuse me! Aren t you forgetting someone?! Miroku chanted up to them. Sango and Michiru looked at Miroku, and then at each other. Miroku did save their lives..but they were still pissed at him spying on them. They sighed a bit. As much as they wanted to leave him there, they needed as much firepower as possible. They nodded and Miroku hopped on behind Michiru. They shot off towards the top of the mountain.
[hr]
Jack,Koga and Ayame were just a little below the top. Koga was walking around,looking at the surroundings,while Jack was sitting in a crouched stance. Ayame was next to him,and Jack was telling her the story of how Aku was born. Ayame didn t know that Kagome traveled through time,but there was no way around Telling how Jack got here without time travel,so Jack told Ayame about some of his travels and some of the things he did,and while he did,she became more and more interested. She moved closer to him and he found,that not only was it calming to talk to her,but it was also really easy. the way her sea-green eyes gazed at him made him feel warm as he spoke to her quietly.
So..the creatures took me to this area underwater and said I looked like this samurai from when they were younger, they led me to this Giant rock samurai that was chained underwater. I placed my hand on the creature and my body began to meld into the creature. Jack told her. She gasped a little.
So you and that giant samurai became one?! That s incredible! and you used that samurai to destroy that big red thing you said? Ayame asked. Jack nodded in return. Koga scowled
Don t listen to him Ayame,he s obviously making all this up. I mean,who ever heard about Time travel,and what the hell is a row-butt ? It sounds so stupid. Koga snarled out.
Ayame looked at Koga with a bored expression. considering we have Naraku out there,I m starting to believe that anything is possible Koga. Jack may know more about this world than we do. Ayame asked,then she looked over to Jack. Right? She asked him.
Jack frowned a bit. unfortunately,I don t know too much about Japan..I used to live in China,and although they were very close..I never heard much about them.. He said. Ayame cocked her head.
I never realized there was more than just Japan. I thought this whole place was just one big area. Ayame said in a soft voice,placing her hand on her cheek,wondering. Koga snuffed.
Of course there s more than just Japan. We can t be the only ones on this rock. Koga commented. Ayame tilted her head to him.
Oh,and you know this because you ve been to all these places? Ayame asked.
No,it s because it s common sense,stupid! Koga retorted to her.
The silence after he said that could be sliced with a knife. Ayame stared at Koga,who glared at her,while Jack had a shocked expression on his face.
H-How could you say that to me Koga?! Ayame Said with tears in her eyes.
Geez! You re gonna start whining after a little comment like that?! Koga grunted.
Maybe I wouldn t if you weren t so heartless! Ayame bursted out. Jack stood up in her aid.
Koga, That was extremely rude to Ayame, you need to apologize to her. He told the wolf-demon. Koga crossed his arms.
Let s get something straight pajamas! I m the boss around here! you re only here because I m allowing it! Koga growled at him,his tail snapping down. Ayame stood up as well.
Don t speak to Jack as if he were below you Koga! Jack s probably the most powerful asset to this team right now! Ayame yelled at him. Koga Blanched.
Are you telling me you think this puny human is better than I am?! Koga roared at her. Ayame flinched,but she felt jack s hand press her behind him.
Koga,I will not allow you to continue this badgering. Jack stated,trying to keep calm.
Badgering?! You re really asking for it now! Koga steamed.
Hey! A gruff voice came out from the other side of them. Inuyasha,Shippo,Ginta and Hakkaku were walking up to them.
Oh. Hello Inuyasha. Ayame Greeted. Koga just huffed while Jack made a small wave. Did you see anything?
you bet we did! Shippo said as he ran up to them. Inuyasha fought with this black creature that looked like Aku! He kept throwing out all these skulls and the skulls transformed into demons! Shippo told them.
Ha, you re telling me that a couple of puny demons roughed you up that bad mutt? Koga said with a laugh. INuyasha Growled at Koga.
No koga! Shippo told him. The demons wouldn t go! as soon as he killed one,more came out, even the wind scar did nothing! It was like he was fighting off a surrounding hoard at once!
Hmph. If I was there, I would have destroyed those demons 1-2-3. Koga scoffed with his arms crossed.
Before anyone else could retort, they all heard a woosh behind them. Kirara had landed and MIchiru,Sango and Miroku disembarked. The three saw how bad of a Shape Inuyasha was in and came over to him.
What happened Inuyasha? you look like you were in a war. Sango asked.
Inuyasha Shrugged off the comment but looked over at Jack,Ayame and Koga.
Let s just get this shit over with..I want to go and find Kagome and Kaname. He growled out to the others. Jack nodded and stood up,Ayame following suit.
The Demon witch Ursumane should be a little higher up. Ayame explained to the others. I fear that she may have already started preparing the spell.
Everyone nodded. Shippo transformed into his balloon form and Ginta/Hakkaku Jumped on board. Michiru,Miroku and Sango got back onto Kirara s Back. Jack,Inuyasha, Ayame and Koga turned to face the wall,and together,the three groups sailed up to the top of the mountain,where there was a cave ahead.
Alright! Koga Exclaimed. Let s get this over with! Koga Ran towards the cave mouth,but suddenly looked like there was an invisible wall in front of him,as he was smacked up against nothing.
A barrier? Miroku asked,as they disembarked Kirara. Michiru walked up and tapped in front of Koga,who was groaning aloud. He felt the barrier ripple in his hand,and then confirmed that a barrier was blocking them out. Inuyasha smirked then.
Alright Wolf-boy,get out of the way. Inuyasha barked as he took out his Tetsusaiga. Koga jumped out of the way as The tetsusaiga Began to glow a blood Red color.
RED TETSUSAIGA! Inuyasha yelled as Shockwaves Shot at The barrier. The Waves crisscrossed around the barrier and then the band grew tighter until finally *CRASH* The Barrier Completely shattered into thousands of pieces. No sooner did they do that,than everyon wasforced to cover their ears. The Chanting coming from inside the cave was so loud that the mountain was starting to shake.
What the hell is that thing making so much noise?! Inuyasha yelled out. Michiru answered,but inuyasha could barely hear him,even with his sensitive hearing.
I-It must be the witch! She must have used a spell to amplify her voice! Michiru yelled out. They looked at one another,before realizing that Ayame had moved away and had her head bent over the cliff. Jack moved a little closer to her and he began to hear quite retching sounds. He grimaced a little. The sound waves were so powerful that it had made Ayame sick..He wasn t feeling his best either..thats what happens when sound waves get powerful..
SHAADUUUUP! Shippo yelled as he threw some small firecrackers into the hole. A small explosion happened inside the cave and the chanting had stopped.
Well done Shippo! Sango exclaimed happily,having finally been able to uncover her ears.
They all did the same and looked over at the cave mouth. A blue light appeared in it and soon they saw an old woman floating towards them. A giant Scythe was in her hands. Her robes were a disgusting paleish Grey with Blue bands. Her Face made her look like she was about 250 human years old,and her Eyes were literally bulging out of their sockets. If They didn t know that she was a half-demon,they d expect her to die any second now.
WHO DARES TO INVADE MY CAVE AND INTERRUPT MY CEREMONY?! The windbag yelled at each of them. Inuyasha stood Forth,as did Koga and Jack.
We dare, you disgusting vermin! Koga Yelled out.
We are here to put a stop to your nefarious plans! Jack Added.
And put an end to your pathetic existence you disgusting witch! Inuyasha finished.
THEN I SHALL FINISH YOU ALL RIGHT NOW! The Demon Witch Chanted,before Rushing at Everyone,Sycthe Raised and poised for attack.
