Inuyasha got home and when he opened the door Sesshomaru Rin and Jeff were all standing there waiting for him to come home all with confused looks on their faces.
"whats wrong?" Inuyasha asked walking into the house.
"Kagome's mother called while you were out she said Kagome hadn't come home yet and she was starting to worry she said she'd call when she got home we told her you had just gone to drop her off, she still hasn't called back." Sesshomaru said concerned.
"I'm gonna go look for her." Inuyasha said worriedly. "I just left her on the front porch."
"I'll go with you." Jeff said standing up and grasping the sword that was hooked to his belt. Inuyasha looked at Sesshomaru who gave a nod of approval. Inuyasha ran upstairs and quickly grabbed his sword.
"well give you a call if we hear anything from her mother." Rin said. With that Jeff and Inuyasha were off at full speed jumping from roof to roof Jeff following Inuyasha to Kagome's house. After a few minutes they were there standing in the exact spot Inuyasha had been standing in just forty five minutes ago. Instantly Inuyasha had his nose pressed to the ground searching for Kagome's scent. While Jeff stood there as if he was doing nothing.
(Back with Kagome)
Owe my head hurts Kagome thought to herself as she slowly opened her eyes and took in her surroundings she was tied at the wrists behind her back. She seemed to be in an old house in a room that was falling apart. Just then she glanced into a dark corner of the room and saw two feet in the shadows. "whose there?" she called out to the mysterious figure.
"your finally awake now the fun can start." came a deep voice as the figure stood up and revealed himself to be naraku. He stepped forward and began to caress her thigh as she lay there on the cold wooden floor helplessly. She let out a shriek at the feeling of his cold hands grouping her body. He harshly slapped her across the face. "shut up you stupid bitch or ill kill you now." he growled causing her to close her trembling mouth and stare at him with fear written in her eyes.
(With Inuyasha and Jeff )
"damn it all I can smell is flowers." Inuyasha said beginning to get worried.
"its a beautiful full moon tonight." Jeff said staring into the sky.
"what are you talking about?" Inuyasha replied annoyed.
"never mind there was a demon here, the flower scent was a cover so you wouldn't notice he must have been here the whole time when you dropped her off." Jeff stated studying the surrounding area.
"how can you tell all that your sense of smell can't be any better then mine?" Inuyasha asked getting impatient.
"look around Inuyasha take a deep breath and calm down think do you see any flowers around here? Yet the scent is so strong the demon must have disguised his scent knowing your used to living in the city with other demons so you wouldn't be able to sense a demonic presence." Jeff said calmly walking towards a bush.
"wow you'd think you were trained for this." Inuyasha said amazed by the other half demons ability.
"follow me Inuyasha the demonic presence is strongest this way and I don't think we have much time." Jeff said leaping into the air and moving full speed towards the oldest part of town where most low class demons reside. Inuyasha leaped into the air after him. They continued at full speed for about five minutes before coming to a complete stop in front of an old beat up house that looked abandoned.
"there in here the demonic presence is strong right here and I can smell the demon you should be able to by now as well." Jeff said looking at Inuyasha who nodded. Inuyasha walked up to the door and kicked it open the door fell flat on the floor. They both walked into the house. They quickly looked around trying to decide which room to check first before they heard a girl scream from upstairs. They both ran up the stairs quickly coming to a long hallway full of doors.
"follow me their in the door right before the last on the left." Jeff whispered so only he and Inuyasha's sensitive dog ears could hear as he leaped passed Inuyasha and to the door. Jeff stood there and a second later Inuyasha was by his side there was a barrier. Not an ordinary demon barrier but a miko barrier. Jeff lifted his nose in the air and took a quick sniff before pulling his sword from its sheath unleashing a huge black fang that looked similar to tetsusaiga except the whole sword was one solid fang from the tip of the blade to the bottom of the handle. which had a demons mouth carved above and below the grip with two glowing red eyes that matched the color of the demonic aura around the sword which instantly turned black leaving only the eyes. Jeff quickly lifted the sword and slashed threw the barrier with ease destroying the door in the process. Inuyasha ran into the room with Jeff right behind.
They walked in and saw naraku on top of the girl with a knife in his hand the blade was clean yet when Inuyasha looked down Kagome's shirt had been torn open exposing her left breast and she had a large gash near her left shoulder.
"get the girl ill distract the demon for now then you can have him." Jeff said leaping forward making naraku jump to the side and get prepared for battle. Jeff leaped after him with his sword resting on his shoulder. Inuyasha ran to Kagome at full speed quickly slice threw the rope with his claws. He gave her his shirt to cover herself which she gladly took but not before he ripped a piece off of her original shirt exposing her right breast and using the cloth to wrap the wound on her arm. This caused Kagome to gasp and turn a bright red but she didn't say anything and pulled his shirt over her head. He looked directly into her eyes with the most serious look shed ever seen " are you ok?" he asked still staring. She nodded. "thank god." he whispered before the most frighting look instantly came to his face and she could see the blood lust in his eyes. Inuyasha stood up and turned towards naraku who was easily defending against every slash Jeff threw at him. He quickly drew his sword and jumped into the fight as Kagome watched the two seeming to attack with all their might but every time their swords connected with naraku a pink light would surround the blade and deflect it as though he was being protected.
What is going on here Inuyasha thought as he fought but he wasn't causing any damage at all. Beginning to get frustrated Inuyasha leaped into the air and crashed his sword onto the floor with all his might "Windscar!" he shouted sending out a huge blast of energy shooting towards naraku Jeff leaped out of the way and studied Inuyasha's technique. When the smoke cleared a large portion of the house had been completely blown away leaving a huge gaping whole facing a small woodland that surrounded this part of the city. Naraku jumped untouched onto a tree branch.
"is that the best you great dog demons have to offer?" naraku teased as he jumped backwards into the forest. Jeff turned to Inuyasha "let me handle this, this is going to be a serious one and you need to get the girl away from here bring her back to Sesshomaru." Jeff said not waiting for a response from Inuyasha who stood shocked but knew he was right and that he had to get Kagome to safety so he could come back here and finish this demon off for good. He quickly dashed to Kagome and lifted her into his arms and was outside running at top speed for the city while Jeff moved threw the forest tracking Naraku's every step. He could easily keep up with the demon it was just a matter of harming him once he was there.
Jeff slashed and hacked away at naraku but couldn't even make a scratch. In his last attempt he raised his sword and quickly dashed behind naraku swinging it with all his might releasing a storm of black energy surrounded in red lightning that seemed to hit the pinkish barrier and deflect back at him, he avoided it with ease somehow expecting that to happen. The blast took out half the forest itself. But before he knew it a tentacle from naraku had struck him and pierced his right arm causing him to drop his sword.
"Hahahaha did you really think that blast would be able to even touch me?" Naraku gloated. He then quickly pierced his stomach with another tentacle before slamming him into a tree and letting him fall to the ground. Naraku slowly followed him down. When he reached the ground he stood at a small distance from Jeff laying in the dirt. When he began to get up his eyes had changed to a dark red color and his pupils had turned purple. Four bright red stripes appeared on his face and his fangs and claws grew out. Jeff stood up easily not paying any attention to the two gaping holes leaking blood. He stared directly into Naraku's frightened eyes and grinned.
"I'm gonna kill you tonight under this moon." Jeff growled in a deep low tone before launching at naraku so quickly that naraku had never even seen him move before Jeff was directly in front of him and had clawed threw his barrier and sliced his left arm leaving five deep slices. Naraku quickly backed away now fearing for his life watching as the demon laughed at him and grinned in pleasure at the smell of his blood.
(Back with Sesshomaru)
Inuyasha burst threw the door with Kagome in his arms curled up to his chest, there was a group full of people sitting around the sofa who all seemed to turn towards him when he burst threw the door but he headed upstairs so quickly he couldn't tell who was in the room. Inuyasha went straight to his room with the girl and lay her down on his bed before noticing the sound of many foot steps climbing the stairs quickly. Soon Sesshomaru walked threw the door followed by Rin and two other women. One was older and kind of short with black hair and brown eyes, Inuyasha expected this was Kagome's mother her scent was similar. The other girl wasn't much taller but was a little thinner she had milky white skin and medium length light brown hair and beautiful hazel eyes she was beautiful but Inuyasha was to focused on the situation to take notice or care.
"Kagome.." The older one whispered.
"Inuyasha this is Mrs. Higerashi and her niece Ashley." Sesshomaru introduced the two women.
"nice to meet you two sorry I took so long its a long story stick around and ill explain it when we have the chance." Inuyasha stated.
He turned to Kagome " are you sure your ok?" he asked looking at her wound again to his relief the bleeding wasn't half as bad as it had appeared to be and it wasn't a serious wound. Kagome nodded in agreement before Inuyasha turned to Sesshomaru.
"i have to go Jeff's still fighting the demon." Inuyasha huffed before attempting to run out the door but only to be stopped by Sesshomaru's arm.
"hold on I'm going to your gonna need my help this time brother, Rin look after these girls they may stay as long as they like and give the injured one everything she needs." said Sesshomaru who quickly followed Inuyasha who had just sped out of the room.
Sesshomaru and Inuyasha sped full speed towards the battle sight. "Inuyasha when we arrive be careful its a full moon tonight and like you Jeff is a half demon but his curse is opposite of yours on the full moon when he fights if hes pushed hard enough he will turn into a full demon with outrageous power and no sense of what he is doing. We may have to take him down." Sesshomaru said with what sounded almost like fear in his voice for just a split second.
"that would have been nice to know before I left him alone fighting the demon!" Inuyasha shouted at his brother who ignored him and sped up.
(At the Battle)
Naraku had lost all his defenses there was nothing between him and this bloodthirsty demon. Jeff had shown a number of times that he could easily slice threw the barrier with countless assaults on naraku leaving him sliced up and his tentacles chopped into pieces, and he didn't have the energy to continue regenerating them. Naraku knew he had to flee now if he was going to live.
Jeff made his final attempt at naraku this was it this was the kill shot he wouldn't let this fight last any longer when it was clearly obvious he was the more powerful of the two demons. "Die you weakling!" Jeff growled as he lunged at naraku and then completely disappeared from Naraku's sight. But just an instant before Jeff had reappeared behind naraku and went for a death blow to the neck, naraku had been surrounded in pink light and then disappeared completely there was no trace of him left. But before Jeff could react he heard something approaching from behind he turned around just in time to see Inuyasha flying towards him and hit him harshly in his lower stomach half hitting his large open wound.
While Jeff hunched over out of pain Sesshomaru came from the side without hesitation and connected his left elbow as hard as he possibly could to Jeff's jaw knocking him unconscious completely, causing him to revert back to his normal state. Sesshomaru lifted Jeff up over his shoulder and turned to Inuyasha to see him reaching for Jeff's sword which was still fully transformed now completely bright red blade surrounded in a bright red aura.
"No Inuyasha stop.." Sesshomaru began to say but it was to late Inuyasha had attempted to grab the sword and was rejected and flung a hundred feet back. Sesshomaru walked towards the sword and removed Jeff's sheath from his possession and lightly tapped the sword with it causing it to revert back to its original black color and then back into a normal samurai sword, if you call a samurai sword with a completely solid black handle and blade with an inscription carved into the blade that Inuyasha wasn't able to make out from the distance he was as Sesshomaru picked up the sword and re sheathed it. Inuyasha had the feeling there was still more that he didn't know about this new brother of his..
"lets get out of here" Sesshomaru broke the silence with his usual cold emotionless tone as he leaped into the air with his brother still over he shoulder Inuyasha soon followed.
(Back at the house)
Rin and the rest of the girls were beginning to worry it was almost 2 in the morning and there was still no sign of the three dog demons that had saved Kagome.
"what could have happened?" Rin asked Kagome who was now bandaged up and doing fine.
"i don't know Naraku was putting up a fight but I don't think he'd be able to defend against all three of them for this long.." Kagome replied with a worried look on her face.
"I'm sure their all fine, after all their not ordinary boys." Mrs. Higerashi butted into the conversation.
Just then the door flew open and Sesshomaru walked in with Jeff barley recognizable covered in blood draped over his shoulder Inuyasha followed right behind him. The girls gasped when they saw the condition of the middle child.
"Rin get all the medical supplies and meet me upstairs in Jeff's room everyone else stay out for now." Sesshomaru commanded in a cold stern tone.
"I'm some what of a doctor I may be able to help." The beautiful light brown haired girl with the hazel eyes spoke up.
"then you may be of some help, help Rin for now" Sesshomaru ordered before quickly but carefully taking Jeff up to his room and laying him down on the bed. Soon after Rin and Ashley appeared with all the medical supplies in the house gathered in their arms. They both gasped when Sesshomaru removed Jeff's shirt and revealed a huge gaping hole in his stomach and his right arm. Sesshomaru quickly went to work cleaning all debris and anything else out of the wounds.
"even for a demon these are serious wounds but he should live he just wont be moving for awhile." Sesshomaru stated while inspecting the damage.
"let me take a look before you bandage him up." Ashley asked moving to the side of the bed. She inspected the wound before placing her hands a few inches above it. Then an orange glow appeared around her hands and she slowly stuck her hands into the wound while everyone watched even Sesshomaru watched in awe curious to what she was doing but it became apparent when the tissue around the spine and vital organs began to grow back at an increasingly fast pace even for a demon. After about a half hour of this Jeff became conscious again. He opened his eyes and tried to sit up before collapsing back down onto the bed.
"don't move your seriously hurt." Ashley spoke softly barley able to muster up the energy herself to speak.
Her ability to heal takes a lot out of her apparently Sesshomaru observed. When she finished Jeff's wound was still very serious but the hole in his stomach was closed on the back so only the front part remained open. After this she fell down to her knees at the side of the bed in exhaustion.
"Rin take her to a spare bed room she could use some rest." Sesshomaru stated, Rin nodded and proceeded to help her up and walk her out of the room.
Just as they reached the door Jeff sat up and spoke. "thank you miss for healing my wound."
"don't mention it, its the least I could do you saved my cousin." the girl said with a smile before Rin lead her out of the room. Sesshomaru then proceeded to bandage up the more serious wound in the stomach and then quickly wrapped the not so serious arm injury. When no one was left in the room Sesshomaru began to speak in a low soft but very serious tone.
"Jeff that was reckless you knew what would happen and you still insisted on fighting alone, that was irresponsible knowing you could have hurt someone. This isn't the netherworld where you can freely do as you please there's innocent people around that could have been harmed lucky for you no one was." Sesshomaru said in a very stern tone as if he was talking to his own offspring.
" I know Sesshomaru but I didn't have much of a choice the demon himself wasnt that powerful but he was being protected by someone with great spiritual powers both me and Inuyasha would have been overcome in our current state that is why I told him to get the girl and get out if he would have continued to fight he would have surely died. Only me or you would have had the power to defeat an opponent like that. It was a chance I had to take." Jeff said with his head down in thought.
"i understand but you must be more careful it is dangerous for you to become a full demon even in the netherworld here the risk factor is multiplied ten fold. Now stay here and rest until your healed enough to start school with Inuyasha and I urge you to never let your sword leave you again while your in this world, you know very well it holds your demon power inside and without you to harness it, it is all released to your body where you can not control it." Sesshomaru said while standing up and heading towards the door.
"if you need anything use the cellphone on the night stand to call me or Rin." Sesshomaru urged before closing the door behind him.
