Sorry for the long wait everyone! And sorry it's so short! It was all I had to work with .
Chapter 35
Kagome's P.O.V.
Everyone looked at the two captured girls who were struggling to get away from Naraku's grasp.
"Naraku, you bastard! Let us go!" Hikara was shouting at him.
I took an arrow out and aimed it at his barrier, but Kagura used her wind attack to repel it. The force almost knocked me off my feet.
Falling into Inuyasha for support, he asked, "Kagome, you okay?"
I looked over at Inuyasha and nodded, "Yes, I'm fine."
Looking back at the enemy, I watched as Naraku took two needles out of his pocket and waved them threateningly at us. He then turned to his hostages. "Hikara. Mitsuki. Time for you to come back to my side."
Inuyasha and Natsume yelled in unison. "Don't you dare touch my sister!"
Hikara also growled at Naraku. "Back off! If you dare put one hand on Mitsuki I'll kick your ass to hell and back!"
"That goes for Hikara too, you bastard!" Mitsuki followed.
Naraku simply chuckled. "You'll be thinking differently in a few minutes."
Walking over, he inserted one of the needles in Hikara's arm, releasing the liquid into her body. That's when Hikara's scream started to pierce the air.
"Hikara!"
Despite the other's attempts, the barriers wouldn't budge and Naraku fended off every attack with a barrier of his own. Helpless, everyone watched as he did the same thing to Mitsuki.
I could barely estimate how much rage Inuyasha had in his eyes when his sister started to scream. "It burns! Make it stop!" she cried.
Inuyasha yelled, "Naraku you bastard! How dare you touch my sister! You're dead!" He pulled out his sword and swung. "Wind scar!"
But the attack didn't leave a scratch.
Trying to keep a level head, I realized how everyone's physical attacks weren't working. Looking down at my bow I thought that maybe…just maybe I might be able to make an effect. Not only did I have power, but I was priestess meaning I had spiritual powers that could perhaps purify his barriers.
Inhaling in preparation, I took out another arrow and aimed it at Naraku. If I brought him down, I'll bring down the other barriers along with him.
He just sneered at me. "Like an arrow will be any more useful than the other attacks."
"That's what you think," I said under my breath. Narrowing my eyes, I said, "Naraku, you're going down!"
That's when I let my arrow fly. Adorned in a bright pink light, it soared through the air and penetrated his barrier. A look of surprise came on his face when he saw the effects my arrow had against him. He barely dodged it as he stepped to the side. I cursed my aim.
"You bitch," he snarled at me.
That's when the barriers came down. One by one they cracked, crumbled and faded away. He glared at me. "You may have broken the barriers, but it's too late to save your friends!"
Scared for the worst, we looked over at our friends. Hikara and Mitsuki stood up, their eyes glazed over and their face void of emotion. They took a few steps towards us. They were no longer writhing in pain but something was off. Something wasn't right.
Inuyasha and Natsume didn't seem to take notice as they rushed towards them in joy. I called out to them in warning. "No! Don't go near them!"
Inuyasha barely missed the attack Mitsuki threw at him, skimming his clothing. "What the-?! What are you guys doing?!"
"Hikara, stop!" Natsume called out desperately to her sister.
Naraku chuckled as he watched nearby. I cursed at him. "Naraku, you bastard!"
But he grinned. "They can't hear your voices anymore. That liquid made sure of it."
I watched in horror as the siblings battled. We didn't lose them permanently, did we?
Until next time, everyone!
