A/N : to clear up some confusion, well, first off yes Inuyasha would lose his humanity if he stayed in his demonic form for too long but if there's someone there to wake him out of it, he still can be save, in the anime, Kagome is the key to keeping Inuyasha's humanity that's why he never lose to his demonic side while in this story, it would be Izayoi. hmm, well and for Kiyoshimaru's acceptance towards Inuyasha and Izayoi is somewhat a characteristic I see in Sesshomaru's mother when watching the final act. If she could accept Rin and even revive her for Sesshomaru why not accept Izayoi and Inuyasha for Inu no Taisho and of course, she doesnt want to get to Inu no Taisho's bad side :) sorry if this chapters abit short x.x I'm not so good in choreographing battles : oh and to xXthenextbookwormXx, its ok x3 it helps when you pointed out that I have mistakes, I'll try my best to improve it. Cheers! :D
Chapter 17 - Inu no Taisho vs Rokutsu/Sesshomaru vs Inuyasha
"Kaze no kizu!" Inu no Taisho roared as he swung tetsusaiga at Rokutsu which the demon dodged easily.
"I'm stronger now, you wont be able to defeat me like you used to!" Rokutsu laughed as he easily dodged all Inu no Taisho's attacks. Inu no Taisho was getting irritated, something that rarely happened, Rokutsu was obviously toying around with him. Inu no Taisho growled and slashed faster, successful pushing Rokutsu back and smirking when he noted a frowned on Rokutsu's face.
"Just all talk?" Inu no Taisho swung tetsusaiga and clashed with Rokutsu's sword, releasing another hand from the sword, he gave Rokutsu a punch who stumbled backwards but held his ground. Rokutsu growled and whipped the blood on his mouth then he raised his sword, holding it in a position that seemed ready to unleashed something. He leaped off the ground with the sword held above his head and purple glow emitted from the sword, the glow around the sword shot up and formed a ball of light, Rokutsu smirked and pointed his sword at Inu no Taisho, with the ball of light above his head, with one swung of his sword, sharp lights shoot out from the ball towards Inu no Taisho.
The great lord managed to dodged all the attacks but couldnt get near Rokutsu as the attacks hits when Inu no Taisho tried to get no Taisho was getting irritated, he swung tetsusaiga and aimed kaze no kizu at the ball but the attacks got absorbed into it and reflected back at Inu no Taisho. Sheathing Tetsusaiga, Inu no Taisho drew out Tenseiga.
"Tenseiga?" Rokutsu laughed "That sword cant even cut!"
Inu no Taisho ignored his comment and swung tenseiga at the ball of light.
"MEIDO ZANGETSUHA!" With that, a space in the shape of a moon was created, sucking everything in like a blackhole, the ball of light fell prey into the meido. Rokutsu plunged his sword on the ground and held tight, he gritted his teeth and cursed inwardly. When he recovered, Inu no Taisho was charging at him full forced with tetsusaiga. The next thing he knew, pain coursed through his body as blood splattered on both his face and Inu no Taisho's.
The blood dripped, seeping into the ground. Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes and looked into his little brother's crimson eyes. He leaped backwards, anticipating Inuyasha's attacks but it never came. He noticed that Inuyasha was acting a little weird. The pup was grunting on the spot, the orbs in his eyes turned a small shade of yellow and Inuyasha was grabbing onto his arm as if trying to take control. As Sesshomaru just stook there watching, Inuyasha suddenly came lunging himself at him, the pup's speed was so fast even Sesshomaru was stunned, not being able to dodged in time, his right cheek was clawed, but the wound was not deep.
"S....." Inuyasha forced out, his body was not listening to him as he struggled to take back his body.
"Are you that weak to controlling your own body?" Sesshomaru spoked. "I guess it is expected from a half-breed like yourself."
Inuyasha growled and jumped at Sesshomaru, claws raised above his head, this time Sesshomaru was ready for his attack and he dodged it gracefully, he flexed his hand and let his poison flow then formed a whip. He whipped at Inuyasha who at first managed to dodged all but suddenly stopped and let the whip hit him causing him to fell. The blood seeped out from the whipped wound as Inuyasha laid still on the ground. Sesshomaru approached Inuyasha, his hands were on defense if Inuyasha were to do anything stupid like attacking back. Looking down at the hanyou, Sesshomaru quickly leaped back just in time as Inuyasha dug his claws into his own wounds, drawing blood on his claw and swinging it at Sesshomaru. Blades of blood scattered in all direction, slaughtering everything on its say mercilessly.
Sesshomaru growled in annoyance as he dashed at Inuyasha and they're both locked into a hand and claw fighting combat, swinging their claws around and punching at each other.
"Inuyasha!" a voice yelled causing Inuyasha to stopped in recognition of the voice and Sesshomaru landing a punch on him. Inuyasha fell to the ground and turned, he spotted Izayoi.
"M..mother..." Inuyasha managed out, his eyes swirled of yellow and red but he then felt his body being took over again, he found himself raising his bloody claws at Izayoi "R...run.." He positioned his claws "Run..." Swinging his claws, conjuring blades of blood towards his mother "NOO MOTHER!" Inuyasha screamed.
"Fool..." Sesshomaru said under his breath as he dashed quickly infront of Izayoi, shielding her from the blades. Blood and shredded cloth scattered around Izayoi and Sesshomaru fell to one knee.
"Sesshomaru!" Izayoi gasped, kneeling down beside him. She looked up at Inuyasha who's holding his arm screaming.
Inuyasha bit down his arm as he tried to refrain it from attacking.
'You're not strong enough to beat me' a voice in Inuyasha boomed.
Inuyasha ignored it and continued to struggle, he bit down harder causing blood to flow the back himself towards a tree, hitting his back. He fell to his knees and dug his claws into the ground, gritting his teeth and grunting all the time. With one scream, Inuyasha got up and bashed his head on the tree until he fell unconscious, blood dripping from his head onto his face and the ground, stainning his silver hair too.
Izayoi gasped as she watched the sceen unfold, tears streaming down her eyes as she called out for her son. Sesshomaru stopped her from recklessly running towards Inuyasha and getting herself hurt, or worst, killed until they saw Inuyasha hitting his own head on the tree and falling unconcious, Izayoi rushed towards her pup, craddling his head carefully on her lap.
When Sesshomaru approached them, Kiyoshimaru fell infront of Sesshomaru, partly wounded.
"Mother!" Sesshomaru's eyes widened as he rushed towards his mother. Four demons then leaped out infront of them, standing between the couple of mothers and sons. "You!" Sesshomaru growled but before he could do anything, the four demons disspeared along with Inuyasha. Izayoi sat on the ground where she was stunned at her empty hands, Inuyasha was gone.
Inu no Taisho stood, looming above Rokutsu with tetsusaiga stabbed right through his right shoulder blade. Rokutsu fell on one knee and grunted when Inu no Taisho pulled out tetsusaiga.
"Any last words?" Inu no Taisho spoked, raising tetsusaiga.
Rokutsu smirked at looked up at Inu no Taisho. "How about kill me and you'll never see your son again?"
Inu no Taisho's eyes widened and growled, he swung Tetsusaiga at Rokutsu but stopped when he reached his throat, Rokutsu still looked confident and grinning all the way.
"You, what did you do?" Inu no Taisho roared in rage.
"Find out yourself!" Rokutsu reached for his sword, his speed and agility recovered so fast that Inu no Taisho had no time to react. He swung his sword at Inu no Taisho and their sword clashed.
"Don't worry, I'll be gentle, I wont hurt him....much" Rokutsu whispered into Inu no Taisho's ear, leaping backward, he plunged his sword into the ground hard with such power causing a fog of dirt.
Inu no Taisho looked at the empty spot infront of him then everything around him crumbled and he found himself back where he was at the castle. He quickly rushed out towards his family's scent.
Izayoi sat beside the tree, crying while Sesshomaru was holding his wounded mother. Inuyasha was no where to be found, Inu no Taisho approached the scene slowly as realization dawned him, he has lost the battle.
