InuYasha- Chapter 395- Dragon Scaled Tetsusaiga

She just…told me to save her…Kagome struggled to think. She flinched as the nuns tightened their grip on her arms and legs. She turned towards Ama-dono, "You…aren't a youkai?"

Ama-dono's eyes were hidden behind her sacred headdress. She lifted her face enough to show her kind eyes, a single tear trickling down her cheek. "I…am…"

She's returned to normal?! Kagome thought, her eyes widening.

As soon as the words escaped her mouth, the evil ghost cat took over the nun's body again, laughing in its creepy voice. "What will you do? After all this, I really want to eat you," she growled, bearing her scary fangs yet again.

"Ki…Kitsune Bi!" Shippou shouted, flinging his fox fire at the nuns holding Kagome hostage. They burst into flame, allowing Kagome to get out of their grasp. "Kagome, run!"

Kagome ran to him, scooping him up. "Th…thank you Shippou-chan!" She stopped however, when something sliced her. It cut a gash in her arm, causing her to cry out in pain.

Outside, Sango and Miroku still attempted to enter the house. Hearing her cry, they called out to her, begging for an answer.

Kagome stood inside, clutching her bleeding right arm. Ama-dono stood before her, a smile on her face. An enormous three-talon claw mark was on the ground between them.

"You can't escape," she snarled, her claws outstretched. "I've already told you, there's a barrier placed on this room."

Kagome's eyes displayed fear and desperation, InuYasha…

InuYasha still battled the illusion of the ghost cat, which attacks were proving to be more than illusionary. "Damn!" he cursed, jumping out of the way of another slash. "I can't cut it!" His eyes widened as his nose danced. He caught the scent of something foul. The scent of Kagome's blood?! He grunted as he jumped over the ghost cat, landing on the roof. He slung Tetsusaiga over his shoulder, glaring at the demon. "Bastard! I don't have time to waste with you!"

Inside, Kagome dove to the ground to avoid another cut from the nun's claws. She landed on the floor, her legs behind her. She clutched her arm again, sweat beading on her face. Suddenly, from above, InuYasha burst through the ceiling, Tetsusaiga out before him. The blade was red with power, breaking the cat nun's barrier with ease. He landed in front of Kagome, his blade pointed at his foe.

"InuYasha!" Kagome exclaimed, relief on her face.

Shippou smiled, "The barrier-breaking red Tetsusaiga!"

"Are you ok Kagome?!" InuYasha asked, looking over h is shoulder. He received no answer however, for the ghost cat illusion tried to worm its way through the hole in the ceiling he had made. Miroku and Sango burst through the door, now that the barrier was broken.

Miroku ripped the beads from his arm, shouting, "Kazaana!"

The illusionary ghost cat was sucked into the hell hole.

Ama-dono glared at them all. "You damn bastards!"

"Damn you!" InuYasha replied, "You're that nun, eh?!"

Miroku placed his beads back on his wrist, sealing it off until he needed it again. "It was you who was controlling the ghost cat's bones, wasn't it?"

"You were their leader, weren't you?" InuYasha accused, getting ready to strike. There's no doubt about it, that's the ghost cat's smell. Though before, there was nothing but the scent of a human.

The nun spoke again, "I had been sealed under this temple for a hundred years, and then this nun showed up…"

Kagome, Sango and Shippou sat huddled in the corner, listening to the tale.

"…knowing the legend regarding me, the nun…was foolish enough to hold a memorial service for me. And so then, the sutra that was recited with compassion, became what reawakened my soul. I broke the seal…and made this temple and the body of this nun my own."

The image of the ghost cat hovered behind the demonic nun, glowing in a creepy jyaki.

Sango spat, "You're supposed to help people!"

Ama-dono only laughed in response, "I have no desire to help anyone."

"I've heard enough!" InuYasha yelled, swinging Tetsusaiga out to face her. "Get fucking ready!"

"Wait, InuYasha!" Kagome pleaded. "Ama-dono is still alive!"

The nun laughed again, "The nun is my disguise after all. So I let her live. You'll slay the nun along with me?"

InuYasha glared at her, and then ran at her full force. "Just let me do that!" He sliced her diagonally across the chest, cutting her completely down the length of her body.

"I…InuYasha!" Kagome gasped in surprise.

Strangely, no blood came out of her. Instead, a big cat paw stuck out from her chest, clawing around. She raised her human hands to it shakily, unbelieving to what was happening.

"A cat paw?!" Miroku observed, confused.

"That's your real body, huh?" InuYasha asked, a smug smile on his face.

Ama-dono stared at him with scared eyes.

He continued, "When you weren't using that human façade, the scent leaked from your chest."

"So…what of it…?" She muttered as the paw began to reseed.

"It's going into her body!" Sango shouted, trying to warn InuYasha.

Ama-dono regained her composure, "Go ahead and cut me. The nun will be sliced in half as well."

"Heh, you think the nun will be going with you?" InuYasha asked. He pressed the tip of his sword to her chest, were the cat paw had disappeared to.

He's going to cut her?!

Suddenly, the Ryuujin scales began to form on Tetsusaiga's blade. He sliced Ama-dono down the middle, expelling the ghost cat from her body. She shook violently as she was exorcized by the demon blade. InuYasha yelled, "You're the only one going to the fucking afterlife!"

"The Dragon Scaled Tetsusaiga!" Miroku gasped, amazed.

Shippou stared at it in awe. "It's absorbing all of the ghost cat's youkai energy!"

"Damn…you…" the cat cursed as it left the nun's body. The young woman collapsed on the ground, relieved from the burden of the demon. InuYasha lowered his sword, the cat's paw at its point.

Kagome smiled, "He did it!"

InuYasha said nothing. He stared at his blade. Tetsusaiga is…hot?

The next morning, the group found themselves leaving the now exorcized temple.

"I don't know how to thank you," Ama-dono said sweetly.

Miroku smiled, grabbing her hands. "No, no…. I you can, come with us, as I want to offer you protection."

Sango smacked him on the head with her weapon again. "It's too dangerous, wouldn't you say?"

With the other two, Kagome stared at InuYasha with worried eyes. "What's wrong InuYasha? You look depressed."

"…It's nothing."

It's still…got a little bit of heat…he thought, staring at the hilt of his sword. It wasn't like this before….
