Again, sorry for the delay. I made a new story, (What's In a Name), and updated another, (Honor). Also, this chapter is quite short, but a lot happens. Keep up with me, because this is where it's going to get confusing, but also interesting. If you ever get confused, write a review as a question, and I'll respond to it. If a lot of people start getting confused, I'll try to edit that chapter so it's less confusing. I can do this lol, please believe in me!
Small review;
Akago- remember me? I'm the evil demon baby, Hakudoushi's other half. Don't forget about me! I'm evil and have a small part in the rest of the series.
Fuyouheki-- what about me? Remember me? I'm the little blue ball that this guy, (points up) carries around with him. Hint; I dispell demonic auras, making it impossible to find me, and whoever Akago and I are with. So, in short, that means Moryoumaru is undetectable too. InuYasha and his group want to get rid of me, for obvious reasons; but I almost cost Miroku his life! Curious? Keep reading! (That part isn't for a while though, so be faithful!)
I don't own InuYasha, any of the characters, or even events of this story. I'm hoping that if you're still here you know that. Read and REVIEW
InuYasha-Chapter 403- Stolen Kongou Souha
"Come on and fire, boy!" commanded the Meioujuu as it dove for InuYasha yet again. InuYasha swung the diamonds at the demon again, shouting his attack at full force. The spears impaled the shield, digging themselves into the crevasses of the bumps. The group stared on in shock and wonder as the Meioujuu's eyes rolled back and its body went limp in the air. It hovered, its neck falling over backwards, a shimmering fragment protruding out of it.
Shippou sat upon Kagome's shoulder still, "Di…did it work?"
A strong wind blew towards Sesshoumaru and Byakuya, making their clothes ripple in the breeze like water on a lake.
Miroku jumped in front of InuYasha, his hand on his prayer beads. "Step back, InuYasha!"
"Wha…?!"
"Kazaana!" Miroku shouted as he unveiled the hole. He aimed it for the dead body of the Meioujuu, seeing as it was floating away. As if it was trying to escape.
"Miroku?" InuYasha asked, his eyebrows raised in question. Just what the hell was he doing?
Byakuya smiled wider and laughed, "Heh. Looks like that Houshi has realized Moryoumaru is up to something."
"But it's too late now…" A deeper, unfamiliar voice sounded from the Meioujuu.
Sango gasped, "It talks?!"
"But!" Kagome protested, "That's not the Meioujuu's voice!"
Byakuya sneered, finally realizing exactly what the plan was. "It wasn't that Moryoumaru just wanted the Meioujuu's armored shell."
Sesshoumaru stared up at the fleeing youkai, seeing as it was spilling liquid shouki. Miroku, still sucking in the air, widened his eyes in horror. "Shouki?!" The liquid neared the holes opening.
InuYasha stepped in quickly, "Close the Kazaana! I'll clear away the shouki! Kaze no Kizu!" But it was too far away. The wind scar's tips couldn't even scratch it. "Damn it…. It got away!"
Miroku clutched his beads to his sealed up arm. He stared at the sky in anger. "I should have realized it sooner; that Moryoumaru was using the Meioujuu…his objective was to steal the Kongou Souha's spears." InuYasha's eyes opened in realization.
Kagome tried to clear the air, "He's trying to absorb the power of the Kongou Souha?!"
"Yeah," Miroku nodded to her. "But before we fought Moryoumaru, by the looks of it….he probably didn't have enough power to absorb the Kongou Souha's powers directly. Because of that, he set his eyes on the Meioujuu, who had an armored shell that could stand up to the Kongou Souha. He had the Meioujuu take the Kongou Souha. And if he devours everything without fighting, Moryoumaru will have obtained the most powerful weapon and armor."
Meanwhile, Sesshoumaru flew through the sky at lightning speed, slicing the air with his body. He stared at the space ahead of him intently. Soon, the Meioujuu was visible again. That thing is going to Moryoumaru.
Behind him, Byakuya followed him on his origami bird. He stood on it with his arms crossed, his eyes fixated on the strange demon before him. Such determination…. He's intending to chase it down and kill it, isn't he? He stopped thinking and looked up to where he heard a buzzing noise. "Hmm? Saimyoushou?" After a moment, he spoke again, as if having a conversation with them, "Let the Meioujuu go? And get on his bad side?" He stared at Sesshoumaru's fluffy trail, small speckles of light surrounding it. "Somehow I don't want that. Well, there's nothing else I can do." He pulled out four pieces of folded paper, blowing on them to set them free. The black paper birds enlarged and turned into a mist of some kind, obscuring Sesshoumaru's view.
His eyes shot to his left, and instantly he cut the air so fast that it cut the mist in a thin line. He saw Byakuya coming at him on his origami bird. He glared, slicing his claws up into the man's chest, catching him by surprise. "You bothersome fool!"
But of course, it was not really Byakuya. A lotus flower fell, aflame, from where the illusion had stood. Sesshoumaru looked up, feeling another presence. Another Byakuya sat in a barrier, looking down at him, a humorous look on his face. "Don't be mad, it's my job. See ya, Sesshoumaru-sama," he said as his barrier began to float backwards, away from Sesshoumaru. The demon said nothing as he watched his new foe disappear.
A strange looking mountain was all that could be seen. The Meioujuu hovered above a hole, as I looking down at something. Inside, hundreds of demon corpses littered the ground. Stretched over them was white skin, resembling something like a spider web. A head sat in the web's center, its eyes closed in rest. Moryoumaru's eyes shot open to see the Meioujuu above him. Small tentacles began to pour out of the Meioujuu, reaching down to touch Moryoumaru.
"Moryoumaru," Akago said coldly. He sat underneath Moryoumaru's extended body, his small baby hands clutching the Fuyouheki. Moryoumaru barely turned his head to acknowledge the baby's presence, a pained look on his face. Akago smiled, "Devour it. With that you are…" My most powerful armor.
In another part of the Sengoku Jedai, a small dear pranced about the shore of a river. It splashed it's little hove into the water, sliding in. Instantly, it realized its mistake. It was shouki. The deer began to disintegrate, its flesh melting off its body, leaving only bones to fall into the watery substance. From a few feet away, Kohaku watched.
"I'm sure of it," he said, staring at the water. "Up stream, there's a great deal of shouki flowing out. It's Moryoumaru, isn't it?"
Kikyou stepped next to him, her hair out and flowing behind her. She held her long bow with confidence, itching for a fight. "Let's go, Kohaku."
