This Time:
"Aww…did you miss us, my dear Keago?" asked a woman's voice from amongst the settling dust. In the dust stood two demons, a woman and a young boy. The woman was a cat demon who was about Kagome's height with auburn hair and two white bangs. Her tail was the same color as her hair but it had two black bands near the tip and she wore a kimono that was similar to Kagome's but it had the same symbol as Saura. The boy looked similar to Saura except he had black hair with auburn streaks through it. He also wore clothes like Saura with the same symbol as Saura.
"Hardly, you obnoxious kitten, I was actually praying that you had passed on to the Netherworld! So why have you graced us with your presence, Soayna?" growled the great wolf demon, his eyes turning blood red.
"Well, I heard from a little birdie that the fabled western sun has risen. My son and I just wanted to see her with our own eyes. Right my prince?" said Soayna with a sly and cruel smile.
"Yes it is Mother Dear. I want to see if she is the beauty that everyone says she is," said a dark haired teen that was beside her.
Keago's eyes narrowed to slits at the sight of the boy. "How touching. You brought Kono along, how motherly of you," he snarled, his teeth bared.
Soayna placed a loving hand on Kono's shoulder. "It must be so difficult and painful to see someone you despise so much have something you yearn for so badly…a child that followed your every move, that trained with you when they were young, that—" Soayna's malicious words were cut off by a body-binding spell. Only, Keago wasn't the one who cast it, Kagome was.
"You don't know what you are talking about you heartless witch. I followed in my father's footsteps and all my powers were from him. My father risked his life to keep my brother and I safe and I can guarantee that you wouldn't do the same and Saura wouldn't protect either of you if it meant sacrificing his own life," said Kagome calmly as she slowly lifted the spell from the two demons.
Once, Soayna and Kono were free from Kagome's spell, they attacked. Soayna lunged at Keago with her sword while her son grasped Kagome by the throat. Kono, like his parents, loved to terrorize her prey and took great pride in it. "My father would die for my mother and me. Those powers of yours, dear princess, are dull in comparison to mine and my parents. You and your father rely on spells while my family relies on pure strength. You are pathetic for a demon and even more so for being a filthy hybrid. You should go back to where you came from…the Netherworld!!!" growled Kono, tightening his grip around Kagome's delicate neck. His gray eyes were burning with hatred while his lips curled into a cruel smile. "It's a shame that you are a half breed, you really are the beauty that everyone says you are," said Kono with a malicious laugh.
Suddenly, Sango, Inuyasha, Miroku, Eera, Bakutso, and Koro busted down the door with a deafening bang. Inuyasha growled when his eyes saw that his love's life was in mortal peril. "Put her down!! Put her down or feel the wrath of my Wind Scar!" shouted Inuyasha as he drew his sword. The dog demon's eyes were bleeding red with fury as he glared at Kono and the hand that was wrapped around his delicate mate's throat. He knew his threat was empty but Inuyasha was itching to kill this malicious little brat.
Bakutso and Eera both transformed into gigantic wolves and headed into different directions. Eera raced toward Kono, her razor sharp fangs bared, while her mate leaped towards Soayna to help Keago. Eera managed to distract Kono long enough so that Kagome could break away from Kono's deadly grasp. As soon as Kagome was free, Inuyasha rushed in to get her out of harm's way. Eera then sunk her fangs into Kono's shoulder, causing him to cry out in pain, while his blood flowed down his shoulder.
Meanwhile, Bakutso and Keago dealt with the ferocious cat demon. Soayna proved to be more than a challenge for the two wolf demons but when her only son cried out in pain, her attention faltered. "Pay attention to your own battle!!" snarled Keago as his fangs tore into Soayna's leg. Soayna yelped and rushed toward her son. "This has been fun but we must rush off!!" shouted Soayna as she grabbed her son's uninjured arm. The cat demon threw a small ball on the ground, causing a smokescreen to appear. The two demons vanished along with the smoke.
"Well, at least now we can relax," said Inuyasha, still tending to his beloved mate.
"Don't be so sure Inuyasha. With Soayna and Kono as another motive to obtain the throne, I don't think Saura will give in so easy," said the great demon lord.
