A/N: HELLO!
Oh My Gods! 31
...Recap...
"O-Oh my gods..." Houjo's mouth looked like a cave with the way he was gaping. "W-What is he...? Is this normal for half demons?" Damn, he was researching this at once!
No, it's not normal... But Kagome lacked the will to part her lips to utter a single word. His eyes...they were so guarded...so emotionless...
...so cold...
"You two aren't going anywhere...not if I can help it," 'Inuyasha' reiterated, smirking with the cruelty only a god of death harbored. "It's such a shame we couldn't spend more time together, Hobo. But I'll enjoy killing you."
...End Recap...
Crap!
Kagome's eyes nearly bugged out of their sockets once her fiancé raised his black scythe over his head and swung it in circles, creating a whirlwind of electric demonic energy. It was compelling...his might enchanted her...lulled her...
Her instincts were screaming at her to run away, but her legs wouldn't budge! What happened to him? It's like he's possessed!
Then he faced Houjo again...and launched the large, raging whirlwind at the stationary fool who still clutched his mate.
"HOUJO! Look out!" Kagome only had time to grab the shocked young man's hand and haul him away from the path of destruction. BOOM!
The black whirlwind nearly obliterated the entire block! People in their cars and walking the streets began to scream, scrambling away from the terrifying grim reaper holding a scythe in both hands. What was happening?!
"Looks like you're not dead yet," Inuyasha commented lightly, raising his scythe once more. "I guess I'll have to try harder."
He swung his scythe in an arc, creating a potent black energy wave... BOOM!
"STOP INUYASHA!" The miko was forced to run around like a sitting duck with a homicidal dog demon on the loose! He was hell bent on blasting Houjo to bits! He was freakin' destroying the entire city and killing people!
He was KILLING people!!!
There were injured bystanders lying on the crumbled ground, groaning in agony and desperately yearning for salvation. The once joyous city turned into a haven for the devil, with all the injured and the dead acting as his beaten angels of death.
And there Inuyasha was in the center of it all, sadistic and uncaring to anyone's needs, mercilessly chuckling at his failed attempts to annihilate a vexing human. Apparently he was thinking: if Hobo was wiped from the face of the earth, then he couldn't take his mate from him, right?
It made her sick. It really did.
At the moment, it wasn't processing that in a split second, someone she knew and cared for morphed into an invincible killing machine. And she could've done something to prevent this...she should've sensed this coming from her Bond of Mates! Its sole purpose was to keep Inuyasha from the brink of insanity!
If he wasn't insane now, then what the hell was he?!
Gods, Kagome didn't know how to counterattack—she barely knew what to do! Inuyasha was relentless, and his scythe was too damn powerful for her to just dash close to him, purify the evil in his youki, and hope he returned to normal.
This wasn't fantasy! This was reality! Her fiancé lost his mind and turned Tokyo, her birthplace, into his private training grounds!
What was she supposed to do? He was far beyond the point of listening to reason—talking to him wasn't even an option since he ceased to stand still for a moment in hopes of eradicating Houjo's existence! She lacked the aid of someone... Dear lords, who could even bear to stand against the hanyou?!
At this rate, she was going to die in the hands of someone she—
She couldn't fool herself any more. No matter what he did to her, no matter what he said to her, Kagome couldn't deny her feelings for Inuyasha.
She cared for him. Deeply. Love was still uncertain...but she truly cared for him more than she did anyone. Heh, it took a moment when her life could end to realize how much he meant to her.
All the time she spent with him...she cherished it all, and she would never relinquish her memory of him—not again, not even for her friends. Maybe he was insensitive at times, but weren't they both in the insecure point in their lives in which they feared to lose the other?
'Look, wench—until we're married, I'm not letting you prance around with other bastards, especially this one'. Not until they were married...until he was sure he gained her affections, her trust...until he was sure she wouldn't leave him...
And Inuyasha might just kill her because she foolishly believed she could care less about him and move on with her 'independent' life! Ugh, no one else in the world could be more stupid!
What was Kagome living—a soap opera?! A husband came home to see his wife cheating on him with some bastard and he kills them both in a fit of rage... Hmph, her story sounded like it.
Well, this was the deadliest soap opera ever made!
BOOM!
He's not going to stop! Kagome whimpered in her mind, stopping for a quick breath in an alleyway between two burning shops. Houjo was a trembling, crying mess beside her, since she was forced to drag him from place to place to keep him safe. Oh my gods, he's not going to stop!
What could she do? What the fuck could she do?! Think, Kagome! Dammit, THINK! There was nothing to think about, though! She wouldn't bear purifying him! Not even in exchange for all the lives lost—she just couldn't hurt him!
She did so once...when Inuyasha and Kouga first reunited in the mortal realm...the imprint of her hand remained on his arm for most of the day... Gods, she still felt guilty about it!
Therefore, the only thing on her mind was protecting Houjo until—
"Inuyasha!"
Wait—who was that?
Kagome dared to peek out from the alley she was hiding in, and gasped when she saw Sesshoumaru of all people bravely facing his ruthless brother. He glared at the devious being before him, gripping a long pike in his hands...
...hold on...
Since when did Sesshoumaru own a pike?! She thought his favorite weapon was Tokijin, or even Tenseiga! And those two were Japanese swords! Yet...even the Tetsusaiga turned into a scythe right before her eyes.
What the hell was going on? Were they all going to sprout these gigantic weapons from their asses?! Maybe Houjo would pull out a unicorn and fly away, saving her the trouble of protecting him...
The immortal's pike was actually very tall, even taller than him with a crescent blade—like that of a naginata—on either end. Its pole was made of ebony metal, and it was ornate, along with its blades, with several intricate designs Kagome couldn't depict from her spot.
Hmm...a scythe and a pike.
Odd.
Sesshoumaru glanced around the devastated city and cursed himself for not arriving earlier. The events during his absence fell beyond his comprehension, but he sure as hell knew Inuyasha was not in his right mind. Furthermore, it wasn't even Inuyasha in his brother's body right now.
It was the soul of Kurayami.
His father had explained it to him in a distant, foggy memory he only recently recalled. The third form of Tetsusaiga was a scythe—Kurayami's Blade. However...then there was its opposite, a second form of Tenseiga, which was a pike—Kurayami's Nightmare.
But put the two weapons together...
...Kurayami's Nightmare Blade.
That was the key to comprehending the purpose of Tenseiga; it was merely a part of a deadly weapon once belonging to a terrifying demon god named Kurayami. Once his father defeated him, his weapon became both the Tetsusaiga and the Tenseiga—why?
Well, the Tenseiga only existed to balance the evil of Kurayami's Blade—it was just too overwhelming for one sword or wielder to bear.
If both brothers worked together and used their weapons at the same time, the outcome would be so strong it was unpredictable.
Sesshoumaru gazed at his brother, the poor fool who had lost his mind to the demands of his inner youkai influenced by Kurayami. Two months ago, after he discovered the voice in the hanyou's head, he instantly knew it was the influence of Kurayami's Blade...meaning, his evil soul.
Or that was what his father informed him.
His Nightmare Pike possessed the other half of Kurayami's soul...ironically, the good part, which was why he was more inclined to 'being' good—heh, like accepting Rin, a human, as his fiancée—or neutral rather than pure evil.
Every nefarious demon god's nightmare was having good karma...
Either way, the soul, a part of Kurayami's soul trapped in a jewel called the Osore no Tama, in his weapon could not deter him like the soul in Inuyasha's weapon since it was not malevolent. So, Sesshoumaru wouldn't require an exorcism after this...
Though, why was he only to transform it now, solely after his brother had done the same? It was a mystery to him. On his way here, the dog demon's body pulsed and new knowledge poured into his brain, like a memory of Kurayami's Nightmare and such.
So here he was...with his transformed Tenseiga, hoping to reverse all of this chaos. He should've known this would happen after he found out about Inuyasha being fed a nazupede egg—hell, after he heard Kurayami's voice in his head! It was why Kurayami's soul was currently able to possess him and wasn't able to before hand!
"Sesshoumaru! It's so nice to see you!" Inuyasha stood before the dog demon, his perverse humor only growing by the second. "You're just in time for the festivities, brother. Which ones? Well, first off, we've both awakened."
Awakened.
Almost all of their recent opponents commented on their 'awakening'. Sesshoumaru recalled it being said to Rin, Kagome, Inuyasha, and even to himself. What did the term truly mean, however? Was it this new rush of energy he felt coursing through his veins? The fact that he could now transform his Tenseiga into a useful weapon?
Awakened.
Inuyasha awakened...and Sesshoumaru supposed he did as well.
Pulse...
Why was she pulsing...? Was she dreaming again? Her pulse pounded in her ears; it was a slow, steady rhythm filling her with a peculiar comfort as well as dread.
Pulse...
Her instincts told her...something bad was happening. Her mate needed her. Her strength was required by him. He depended on her to mend a terrible situation...heal a destructive disaster.
Pulse...
Rin's cinnamon eyes fluttered opened, and she sat up on her bed. Strangely, her head no longer ached...and her nose was no longer congested. No, no...she just didn't feel it. Her body was still ill, yet...for some reason, it was more tolerable... It was numb, just like her mind wasn't processing pain or discomfort.
She felt so calm...balanced...as though she reached equilibrium never before possible...
Her senses were sharper. Her mind was overwhelmed with new information she never thought she knew prior—new battle techniques, details about her Kimera, her Bond of Mates...
...powerful songs in the ancient language....
"Sesshoumaru..." She felt him...and she had to find him...
Awakened.
The term came to mind...but she didn't know what it meant. Kagura said it to her once, sneered how she had yet to awaken and was therefore weak.
Well, now she wasn't.
Rin climbed out of bed and swiftly changed her clothing. She didn't know where toadman and the flea went, but she could hardly care. The teen left her Kimera, deciding that she wouldn't require it. And so, she headed towards where her bond was pulling her...an unknown destination.
Awakened.
Yes...she awakened.
BOOM! BANG! BOOM!
Kagome tried to follow the rapid movements of the two brothers, but to no avail. They weren't exchanging blows—they weren't engaged in hand-to-hand combat. No, they used their weapons to summon ripple after ripple of raw energy. The only way she could tell who was who was by the fact that Inuyasha's current energy blasts were black with the odd speck of gold while Sesshoumaru's were his normal dark blue.
She glanced beside her only to see that Houjo lied in a heap of sprawled limbs on the rubble ground; he finally passed out. Well...when he wakes up, he might just believe all of this hell was a really bad dream.
Gods, she wished it was a dream.
Unfortunately, it wasn't.
Rin was sick, Houjo returned from India, she broke off her engagement with her fiancé, Inuyasha went insane, Sesshoumaru showed up to fight with a big-ass pike—what next?!
The miko's heart pounded in her ears. Her entire situation seemed so surreal—there was no way Tokyo morphed into a battle field in less than a half-hour! And here she was, hiding in an alley with an unconscious wimp.
What troubled her now, however, was how to get Inuyasha back to his old self.
If she told him she was kidding about cancelling their engagement, would he stop his death rampage?
Nope.
What happened to him in the first place?! Kagome frantically thought, fisting her hands and suppressing a whine. One moment he looked shocked and then the next, he transformed into Sesshoumaru's evil twin and tried to kill Houjo! Does he have a split personality?!
She'd actually prefer it if he did! Then he'd have an excuse for creating this chaos! Could she ever forgive him for this madness? Was all of this reversible? Even if it was impossible to travel back in time...holding rancor for him any longer was also impossible.
No. Hating him...wasn't an option. No matter what he did in the past, in the present, or what he would do in the future...hating him would never be an option.
Pulse...
Whoah—her body just pulsed! Maybe she was hallucinating.... Huh? Why the heck am I pulsing...? Hmph, she was probably an alien from outer space.
Pulse...
Kagome narrowed her eyes. Was she just hearing her heart in her ears or...? No, she was virtually pulsing—her cells vibrated for a split second. But such a thing never happened before in her life! It couldn't be normal!
Pulse...
And then...her mind blanked and her vision consisted of bright pink light. She ceased to control her own body any longer...not that she noted any difference.
Awakened.
Potent spiritually energy she never possessed before flowed from her veins to her finger tips, caressing every fiber contained in her essence. It crackled around her, enveloping her in warmth she readily welcomed.
Kagome barely noticed when she began to walk away from the hidden alley, towards Inuyasha where he stood in the center of the demolished street battling his older brother.
She also failed to perceive the weight of a long metal staff in her hands...
"HELL DRAGON!"
"DRAGON STRIKE!"
Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru summoned two dragons from their energies reverberating throughout the city, and the bestial opponents fiercely attacked each other. An elegant glowing black serpent with golden spikes curled its tail and lashed it at an opposing blue serpent charging forward. Their heavy bodies clashed—buildings were knocked over as they wrestled and roared, attempting to claim dominance.
The dragons were being controlled by the brothers, who each had their eyes enveloped by light matching the color of their respective dragons. Sesshoumaru growled with the strain his expanse of energy was taking on his body, but he refused to give up!
His muscles were aching, his fingers gripping his Nightmare Pike threatened to crack, his head might incinerate—but he owed it to his brother not to give up!
Hell, Sesshoumaru bowed to no one!
Inuyasha/Kurayami was relentless, however...and was one goddamn powerful bastard.
Alas, the dragons disappeared once a stalemate was reached, but it only allowed for the two demon gods to launch more energy waves. Hmph, most of the time their attacks merely cancelled each other and no damage was done! It was frustrating, in the very least!
Sesshoumaru gripped the pole of his tall pike and ground his teeth together, his lips drawn into a tight line. There had to be a way to overwhelm the hanyou! Not even his energy boost aided to subdue this bloodthirsty maniac! What is his weakness? Every one has it...a moment without guard...but does he have one?
"Getting tired already, brother?" The hanyou drawled in a smooth voice definitely not his own, smirking as he waved his tremendous scythe over his head. "Well, this is bound to keep you awake."
The silver-haired dog demon was confused when his brother imbedded the tail end of his weapon into the rubble ground only to take a step back from it. He knew he should advance to attack while his opponent prepared for whatever he was planning, but he was curious as to what he would do next.
Damn canine curiosity...
Inuyasha's eyes were once again enveloped by black light, and he then threw his head back, spreading his arms to their limits. His lips moved in an ancient chant—not even Sesshoumaru recognized the words.
Suddenly, the earth beneath him began to shake violently, though it couldn't be an earthquake...right? He glanced at the ground before facing his brother again, only to see that he was entirely sheathed in black light along with his blade. A whirlwind of pure, raw energy soon encased him...
...oh shit...the vast energy expanse...the earthquake...
He's evoking an underworld beast... Not good...fuck, this wasn't good! Such a technique was impossible unless one studied the immortal ancient language for ages!
The energy gathering around him like a storm in the making caused Sesshoumaru's vision to distort. Shock waves, similar to heat waves, rendered the appearance of his younger brother to be a blur on the other side of their battle field.
This only proved that the sheer power radiating from him was so enormous, molecules in the air were going haywire...
"Shrikna pernina te gadshi...malek drish onka..." Inuyasha lifted his head. His arms were no longer spread—instead, they grasped the handle of his scythe. Apparently, the violently quaking of the earth hardly bothered him for he was not rattling out of place. "Yaku sen shi!"
RRROO—BA—BOOM!!
"Shit!" Sesshoumaru immediately summoned his wings and took to the skies where it was hopefully safe.
For the love of all that was fucking mighty! The damn half-breed converted the entire ground into a pool of slimy green tentacles itching to grab onto him! He didn't even want to think about the shrouded beast underneath the ground!
No! One of the tentacle things actually did wrap around his ankle!
"Fucking piece of shit! Deida!" A blast of blue light shot out from his hand and incinerated the tentacles, but it only regenerated to latch onto him again! Now with both legs at the mercy of the green beast, Sesshoumaru relied on all of his upper body strength to disengage it.
Inuyasha was still standing immobile in the center of a whirlwind, controlling this wild beast he evoked from the netherworld. "Yaku sen shi!" Every time he exclaimed that, an electric current ran through the tentacles, and Sesshoumaru bit his lip to prevent from crying out.
Dammit, it was his brother trying to subdue him—not the other way around!
No matter how many times he blasted at it, no matter how hard he flapped his wings to propel his body upwards, he just couldn't break free! Inch by inch the slimy appendages dragged him below to their master's layer—dammit, he wasn't about to die being eaten by a disgusting, slimy monster!
"Moku kaan ha!" BOOM! The entire area was covered in a sheet of pink light that especially unfurled over the ground. From the inhuman shrieks he heard, the dog demon surmised the beast was purged from under the ground—thank gods!
Sesshoumaru was relieved when he was able to escape from the tenacious hold of the tentacles, but it wasn't by his own power and might. After the brilliant—and too bright for his tastes—light faded, his golden eyes narrowed as discovered a new addition to the battle...who was...
...Kagome?
She purified the beast wreaking havoc under the earth's crust in one potent blast of spiritual energy—what the hell was the source of her unprecedented strength?! And what was she doing carrying around a metal staff as large as his pike and shouting words in the ancient language?!
Wait—what?!
Surely Kagome had no knowledge of the ancient language! So what, did she suddenly pull a Rin and 'remembered' certain words out of nowhere? Would she defeat Kurayami and return Inuyasha to normal by singing a long lost lullaby?
Rin would do that...
Sesshoumaru scoffed. My life can't get any stranger. Nope, definitely not. I will be in dire need of explanations after this. Hm...he wondered who would provide the answers he sought. His eyes narrowed in sadistic amusement at a 'pleasant' torture scene his mind conjured after he recalled his faithful servant. Jaken.
He'd beat it out of the imp the moment he found him...
The raven-haired miko glared at the peeved hanyou, who was still in the process of recovering from her backlash of spiritual power. He alas stood from the ground and retrieved his fallen weapon before glaring back at the conniving wench.
"Kurayami," she said simply, erecting her staff beside her. Its orb the size of her fist situated between a U-shaped blade was glowing pink with suppressed energy.
"Midoriko," he returned with as much indifference, though her name sounded like poison on his tongue. "I see Kagome also awakened, which means Rin has as well. The two souls of the Shikon no Tama are complete—you're a lucky bitch."
Well, the Osore no Tama was also complete, since Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha awakened, too. Hm, how fortunate. Their keepers were no longer incapacitated when it came to battle and unleashing their dormant abilities.
Kagome/Midoriko remained impassive. "You cause chaos with everything you touch. It's no wonder InuTaishou eradicated you before you destroyed the universe."
"Be quiet!" Kurayami yelled, baring his fangs in acrimony, yet he made no move to attack again.
Sesshoumaru, who was still watching from above the couple, barely refrained from cocking his head in confusion. His father seemed like a sensitive subject for the demon god. Yes, InuTaishou killed Kurayami in his lifetime, but the demon had reacted in response to hurt...not anger.
Hm...interesting...yet another question to ask Jaken... He should be drawing up a list.
"It's true, isn't?" Midoriko continued, treading closer on thin ground. She glanced at the carnage in the once impeccable city, and sighed in pity. "All these poor souls..." Her eyelids refused to allow moisture to pass them. "You have a horrible habit of destroying life when you're angry or threatened, Kurayami."
He growled and raised his scythe in fury. It wasn't imperative to lecture him! Who the hell did she think she was, prancing between his battle with Sesshoumaru only to start bitching about shit he already knew?! Midoriko should mind her own fucking business—gods, not even death could erase her nosy self!
Gah! So what if he had tantrums once in a while?!
It was perfectly normal after InuTaishou-bastard freakin' killed him!
"I can't stand your goddamn life-loving self! I HATE it! You can't always save everyone!" Kurayami swung his blade in circles above his head, creating a tornado of his black youki. "Backlash wave!" A huge ring of youki shot toward Midoriko, but her expression hardly changed from stoic.
ARGH! Why couldn't she ever show fear?! It would make him feel so much better if she spent the rest of her life fearing him!
"Hinto!" She intercepted the attack by merely poising her staff in front of her, as though a barrier around it prevented the dark vortex from engulfing her. "You are still the spoiled fool from all those centuries ago! Driven by anger and hatred—your soul is pure evil!"
"Shut the fuck up!" Wave after wave and she never succumbed! He detested dexterous priestesses! "No one is worthy of living in this realm! Can't you see it? All mortals are good for is backstabbing others! They deserve to die!"
"Kurayami," the miko braced herself for another attack, which she effortlessly purified with her staff, "You must stop this madness and leave Prince Inuyasha alone! You cannot influence his actions like this! Grief and self-disgust will kill him in the end!"
"Ha—as if I care! It's InuTaishou's curse! I told him I'd come back in the form of his sons, but did he listen to me? NO!"
"Is vengeance the answer for everything?" Silence enveloped the area since he had no response for her. At long last he ceased to overwhelm her with failed attacks and merely listened. "Your life is filled with vindication after vindication. I warned you not to fight with InuTaishou and it cost you your life."
Why couldn't he understand something so simple? Dog demons had to be naturally cocky. All she wanted for him was a peaceful life! She tried to tell him that engaging in battle with a determined young prince like InuTaishou was suicide—especially when he obtained a dimension blade!
Kurayami smirked. Because she was causing him internal pain, he might as well return the favor. A dark, ugly part of himself—hey, his soul was allegedly 'pure evil'—wanted to cause Midoriko harm...despite their past together. She deserved it...she deserved it after putting him through hell.
"And I warned you to stay away from Naraku, Midoriko, because it would cost you yours."
Sesshoumaru finally descended to the couple's level, and he merely stared at the two nearly glowing with contained fury in confusion. His father killed Kurayami; he knew that, but...
Midoriko was here? A legendary priestess of the immortal realm who died in a war against an evil demon god was alive in Kagome and Rin! What the hell was the Shikon no Tama?! He heard mention of it before, yet he never really paid attention. It was a jewel of sorts, apparently...belonging to Midoriko...
...err...his brain was going to explode...
Midoriko sighed, and she seemed so forlorn Kurayami also ceased his sadistic torture. In only two strides he was at her side, drawing her into his arms and burying his nose in the crook of her neck. She grabbed onto him as though he was her lifeline, as though she had faced eternity without him and never desired to release him again.
Heh...all else was forgotten and all was swiftly forgiven.
Sesshoumaru wanted to puke.
"Forgive me, Kurayami..." The miko mumbled, close to tears and genuinely guilt-ridden. "I should've trusted your judgment of Onigumo. I should've realized he sold his soul to the devil and turned into Naraku! I should've—"
"Hush, my love," Sesshoumaru's eyes widened with Kurayami's little endearment—what was this, a freakin' cheap romance movie?! "We both made mistakes and as a result, we were separated. It's over now. The keepers of our souls will ensure that bastard Naraku's death."
"Excuse me?" Sesshoumaru had no time for trivial nonsense! And who the hell was Naraku?! The couple at long last noticed his presence and turned to him. "I have enough on my agenda already. I don't need to add to it by settling a lover's quarrel."
Midoriko looked surprised while Kurayami raised an eyebrow incredulously. He then shrugged with a rather cruel smirk on his face. What he was planning, Sesshoumaru couldn't fathom. "Well, I guess I won't be requiring your aid. Bye bye, Sesshy!"
"Yami, wait! Don't—" Not even the miko could stop him from lifting his arm and clustering his energy into an orb floating on his hand. Sesshoumaru was far from alarmed, however; he only poised his pike in attack mode.
But before anyone could even move a muscle...
"E mi et le escontina
O plenitas o colindia
Mi mortis sicle ha juus costro
Mawe poco entalius..."
Singing...someone with a sweet, hypnotizing voice was singing...
Everyone turned around only to come face to face with an obsidian-haired teen slowly making her way towards the center of the devastated city. She was expertly singing in the ancient language, creating her own melody, her own tune without the aid of instruments.
Somehow, her voice possessed a power of its own...so much, that it calmed the rage dwelling in Kurayami and transfixed Sesshoumaru. Midoriko was merely smiling because she knew what Rin was about to do.
And it was coming...
...now.
"Taan ma tai la la la... la la luu...
Plaute taan mi fai o gunema
Mundiana mundiana..."
It was amazing! When she sung those lines, the apparent chorus of her song, waves of yellow light instantly enveloped the land in a gentle sweep, as though lifting the evil and devastation from the city and regenerating it. The sweeping waves touched everything except Rin, who was in the center of it, singing without fail, bringing life to ruin and decay.
Sesshoumaru couldn't see anything else but her. He couldn't sense anything else but her. Perhaps she lacked in physical strength, perhaps she wasn't able to use her beauty to her advantage like other women, but she had the perfect voice... It was the voice of spring: new life.
Rin wasn't a fighter. She didn't kill.
She revived.
"Tai les tai la la la... la la luu...
Morie taan mi fai es volta..."
Sweep after sweep, the city came back to life. The crumbled concrete of the sidewalks fixed together, the severed streets joined; the darkened sky no longer cried in grief but was clear in joy as it smiled upon the creator of new life.
"Taan ma tai la la la... la la luu...
Plaute taan mi fai o co..."
All around him, cars were being put back in place with people in them. Dead bodies once with no hope were suddenly on their feet as if they had never lost their luster before. Sesshoumaru marveled at his fiancée's ability—what he had witnessed of it prior to this moment was a mere preview!
"Mi mo..."
No more burning shops, no more demolished buildings, no more injured/dead people...
"Tra taan..."
And before Rin fainted from both sickness and loss of energy, Sesshoumaru barely believed that Tokyo returned to its normal self, from prior to Inuyasha's first attack. People walked the streets minding their own business and seemed to have no memory of what just occurred.
The dog demon scooped his unconscious fiancée into his arms and stared into her serene face. She was the problem solver, he supposed. Always the first one to sympathize with others or attempt to end an argument. A bit insane and psychotic at times, but a pacifier nonetheless. He was proud of her...and his profound smile proved it.
Hn...and what of the other two? They were surely being quiet...hopefully his brother and his miko were also back to normal.
"Dammit," Sesshoumaru swore, rolling his eyes at the misery that was to come. "I officially hate the half-breed and his miko."
Was there a reason why both Inuyasha and Kagome decided it would be wise to pass out at the same time? How the hell was he supposed to haul three unconscious people back to Imei Academy? His car better be where he left it!
Great. Now I'm stuck with a bunch of inconsiderate whelps.
"Ugh, was I sleepwalking again...?"
Sesshoumaru merely pretended that Houjo wasn't the cause of his current turmoil—hmph, yeah right—and ignored him.
Too bad for the disoriented human.
A/N: END! WOOT! MY ASS IS ON FIRE!!! HELLS YEAH!!! And yes, Dragon Strike is a Tokijin technique, but I borrowed it, and Hell Dragon is a Sou'unga technique!
