Chapter Twenty-Six: God
A/N: Edit 9/3/15
Sesshomaru kept his footing, but felt one of his ribs snap. He ignored it. His jaw was broken, but Sesshomaru knew better then to express weakness in the time of battle. Inuhidoi hissed. Sesshomaru had taken what had InuYasha had said, and assumed that was Inuhidoi's weakness. His wings. InuYasha never had them to begin with, and it only seemed logical that they weren't just there for flight.
"Lord Sesshomaru!" The flea hissed on his shoulders. Sesshomaru, unable to talk with his broken jaw gave the flea a quick stare. "You must use Tessaiga!"
How? Where was the sword anyway? Sesshomaru glared down. InuYasha wore nothing, which included Tessaiga. He must have ditched it somewhere.
Sesshomaru hissed, his eyes beginning to grow hot. He felt the pain slowly begin to grow steadily lower, and his reflexes grew more intense. InuYasha was standing over him, his wings circled in an arc that blocked Sesshomaru of any view from behind him.
He heard the wolf hiss a warning, and Rin's scent slammed his nose. Sesshomaru knew he had told the exterminator to stay with Rin and the injured priestess, but she had apparently not listened.
"I suggest you start knowing your superior, Sesshomaru."
Sesshomaru growled. Unable to respond he thought angrily, Inuhidoi was NOT his superior.
"Broken jaw? I thought you would have healed by now."
Sesshomaru hissed, his face slowly staring to transform into his true form. He felt his rib snap back into position, and his jaw reset.
"You would know I have no superior." Sesshomaru hissed.
"Yes Sesshomaru, keep thinking that you have no superior. You will find out how wrong you are."
"Silence!" Sesshomaru roared. He charged his poison claws aiming for InuYasha's chest. This time InuYasha did not doge his claws; he just stood there and let Sesshomaru's hand go thru his chest. Sesshomaru immediately felt his hand burn. He wrenched his hand out, only to see his hand melting into nothing but useless flesh.
InuYasha's wound healed before Sesshomaru could blink; he took advantage of Sesshomaru's suddenly weakness. He slashed his claws, without using the poison swiped into Sesshomaru's face.
This time Sesshomaru did not land on his feet but was jutted back and his back hitting a tree. He felt the mass amount of blood run down his face, angry that he was taken advantage of so easily.
"Your weakness Sesshomaru is you have never fought a God and have underestimated me."
"Your no God!" The wolf yelled from behind Inuhidoi. "You're nothing more then a lusting, fucked up asshole!"
"You may be a God Inuhidoi, but that does not make you superior." The monk snapped.
"INUYASHA!" The priestess's voice filled the air. Sesshomaru was surprised her voice had that strength behind it.
"Her again."
Sesshomaru could tell by Inuhidoi's voice, he was not very pleased to see the priestess around. Apparently something else happened then just him fucking her. Sesshomaru noticed his distraction and charged, this time he aimed for his right wing.
But the wing itself moved slamming full force into him, a long talon coming off jutted into his side, sinking into his chest. The pain was intense and Sesshomaru lost his sight in his right eye for a second. He managed to upright his position, but the wing slammed into his head sending him off balance. He had had enough.
Sesshomaru felt his entire body start to transform, but it was cut short. He smelled the poison and had to take the time to dodge it before it reached its target.
"Sesshomaru!" The exterminator flew up on her demon cat and blocked the poison claws from hitting him. Though he would never say it, he thanked the exterminator for the assistance.
"I told…you to stay with the priestess and Rin!" Sesshomaru hissed at Sango.
"I couldn't! Kagome persisted to come after InuYasha!" The exterminator yelled back. She had to dodge the flying poison again before the demon cat could regain her air. "Kirara go to his right!"
"Lord Sesshomaru look out!" Rin's voice hit his ears. He moved just in time to see a red ball of demon aura pass just as it burned down trees behind him.
"Sango, where is Kagome!?" The monk yelled.
"She's…"
"INUYASHA!"
Sesshomaru froze to see the injured priestess aiming her bow and arrow at his brother's body. Sesshomaru felt the anger of Inuhidoi rise behind him.
"Priestess, this time I will finish you off."
"I know InuYasha is there! I'll purify you and get InuYasha back!" The priestess screamed.
"Priestess, there is nothing that will purify me. Now die." With the flick of his claws he shot a ball of demonic power towards the battered priestess
"Kagome!" The wolf yelled.
The priestess bit her lip, Sesshomaru barley heard it. "InuYasha please forgive me. It's for you."
She let the arrow fly, the pink light surrounded it and it collided with the demonic ball. The demonic aura and purifying arrow slammed into each other, but the arrow melted and the aura landed a few feet from where the priestess was standing. Sesshomaru stared at the priestess; she had just worn off an attack from a half-God. Sesshomaru turned when he suddenly felt Tensegia next to him, shaking vigorously.
"Shit! Kagome all you all right!?" The wolf ran over, mostly hoping on one leg, and grasped the priestess as she crumbled into his arms.
"You are disgusting!" Jaken yelled at InuYasha. Sesshomaru was guessing that was meant for the reason InuYasha had nothing on.
Sesshomaru turned back to InuYasha, he felt his anger rise. Tokijin would be very useful at the moment. Tensegia continued to shake against him, did it want to be wielded? Maybe, Tensegia would be able to cut Inuhidoi and not his brother.
Whipping Tensegia out, he pointed the sword at InuYasha. "Prepare for your downfall Inuhidoi."
"Sesshomaru what is Tensegia going to do?" The exterminator asked. He had no time to answer her question. He charged and swung with all his might at InuYasha's chest. For a second nothing happened, then a blue light suddenly came out and InuYasha's eyes went huge.
"Why you…"
Inuhidoi didn't finish, his body slammed to the ground in one effortless collapse. His wings slumped to the ground, lying flat on the forest floor.
"What just happened…?" The monk started.
"Tensegia cut the soul of the being not of this world." Sesshomaru plainly put.
InuYasha moaned and slowly sat up. His wings remained on the ground, sagging like useless flesh.
"Sesshomaru?"
Sesshomaru felt the tension go away from all the humans around him. It was InuYasha's voice, he was back in control. Sesshomaru was not that relaxed, he pointed his Tensegia into InuYasha's face. "Is that you brother?"
"Just finish it. Please."
"InuYasha…?" The priestess mumbled. She rose from Kouga's arms and ran as fast as her injuries would allow her and collapsed on InuYasha's body. "Oh InuYasha you're…"
"Don't touch me Kagome!"
InuYasha backed away trying to hide again, but the monk stepped in front of him, blocking his escape.
"InuYasha please we can help…" Miroku started.
"No! You know what Inuhidoi did to her! I don't want…"
"That's enough InuYasha." Sesshomaru growled. He swung his fist and connected with InuYasha's head. To his surprise his brother didn't even flinch.
"That didn't do anything."
"InuYasha its okay, Sango helped my wounds it's not your fault. Please listen to me." The priestess begged the half-demon.
"No! i won't let it happen again!"
"InuYasha we all know you. You did not do that." Sango said.
"Lord InuYasha, where is Tessaiga?" Myoga asked.
"It's…" InuYasha leaned on the tree for support, hiding his lower body in the bushes. He shook his head and his eyes looked at Rin. "It's where Inuhidoi found Rin."
Sesshomaru looked at the girl. She had been looking at InuYasha with feelings of confusion and fear. Suddenly InuYasha snapped up and grabbed the tree sinking his claws into the bark. Sesshomaru knew Inuhidoi was fighting for control again.
"Brother!" Sesshomaru ran readying the Tensegia when the InuYasha's claws shot out numerous poison blades.
"This is the end of the line, for all of you. You will die and InuYasha will break."
What happened next made Sesshomaru almost drop his Tensegia, in a mix of horror and disbelief.
InuYasha began to grow his wings reaching larger proportions, his teeth suddenly poking from his mouth, his skin suddenly turning into black scales, and his face began to stretch forward.
"WHAT IN HELL!?" The wolf yelped.
The next thing they all were staring at was a huge black dragon with huge wings curled at its side. The priestess screamed. The exterminator jumped on her demon cat grabbing the fox demon and the monk shoving them on with her. Ah-Un with Jaken and Rin rose into the air flying in the opposite direction. The wolf and his pack grabbed the priestess and ran.
Sesshomaru stood there, what had this thing turned InuYasha too? This dragon was bigger then his true form, easily twice as big.
"DIE."
Sesshomaru felt fear pour all over his body. His instincts kicked in, for the first time in his life he fled. He fled from an enemy he was suddenly no match for.
The others were in the air and the ground, running, fleeing, just trying to get away. The red light blinded Sesshomaru, the ball emitting itself out of the mouth of the dragon. Sesshomaru had to get to her. He sheathed Tensegia and flew as fast as he could towards Rin.
Sesshomaru felt the demonic power fast approaching from behind just as he wrapped a protective arm around the young girl. The youki blew into all of them exploding the ground and the sky turned red. Screams of pain embed the air, as the dragon filled everyone's vision. Then Sesshomaru's world went black.
