The Grandchildren of The 2 Great Lords
Disclaimer: I own nothing in regards to Nurarihyon no mago and Inuyasha.
Chapter 22
"Told you she was taken," said Yura, as she felt happy for Rikuo and Kameko. Ryuuji just humphed and all 4 of them walked away from the scene.
Kameko and Rikuo where still embracing.
I don't want to let her go, thought Rikuo.
I don't want him to let me go, thought Kameko.
As the two stood there, savoring the moment, at a distance the Sodaicho and the Nidaime of the Nura Gumi both had their signature smirk. Inuyasha was about to walk towards them when Kagome stopped him as she gestured him with a 'no' movement of her head.
"Oi, Rikuo…" exclaimed the Second, bursting their bubble, "show us around the school, would you? We don't have all day…"
Rikuo's anger rose at his father's remark. "Otou-san… can't you see I'm having a moment here!" he growled.
"Oh my, my Rikuo… no need to be enraged," said the Second with a smirk.
Kameko nodded an ok to Rikuo and he let go off her.
Both joined there respective families as they all walked together, touring the school grounds.
"Aww! Isn't it sweet?" said an impy voice from a dark figure watching.
"So sorry we're gonna have to disrupt their moment…" mocked the other.
"Get everything ready," ordered another. "It's time."
Apart from all the embarrassing moments and all the death stares my father was throwing towards Rikuo and his father, I was quite enjoying myself. Not only because I was walking with Rikuo side by side in front of my parents and his, which they didn't seem to mind (Rikuo's parents and my mother; my dad was at the verge of exploding), but I was also enjoying the more than 400 year old stories uncle Sesshomaru along with Grandfather Toga and Nurarihyon-sama. I could see my mother, aunt Rin and Rikuo's mother getting along just fine; just the occasional glace towards my father, keeping him in check. God knows my father can be crazy sometimes. I chuckled at the thought because I'm just like him.
"What's the matter?" Rikuo asked me.
"Nah, just thinking about something…" I trailed off, giving him a warm smile. He responded just the same.
"Care to tell me about it?" he asked, looking towards his father joking around his grandfather, acting like a complete moron, making everyone sweat drop.
They where walking towards the football field, when suddenly Rikuo felt a strong presence.
"Stand back, Kameko," Rikuo ordered, placing his arm in front of me protectively.
Uncle Sesshomaru sensed it too and stared around as to make out the source of such strong youki. Nurarihyon-sama did the same and commanded his son to stop running around the field like a mad person that just came out of the loony bin.
"Quit acting like a lunatic, stupid son!" said Nurarihyon-sama, now in his aged form.
"Why?" said Rihan as he cocked his head to the side, feigning innocence. Damn Rikuo, just like his father…
"Can't you feel the great demonic aura or do I have to hit it through your head!" snorted Nurarihyon-sama.
"I'm very glad that the former lord of Chimimouryou noticed," said that voice which made my blood boil.
"Bankotsu…" both Rikuo and I sneered at the same time.
"What do you want, pathetic intent of a demon?!" spat Rikuo in rage. All this time, keeping me behind him, guarding me.
"Eh? I just came here to meet the family…." Snorted Bankotsu. Turning towards my family he said, "If it isn't the Lord of the West, Sesshomaru-sama, it is an honor," he mocked a bow, making my uncle veer towards him in anger. Nobody mocks Sesshomaru. "Oh and I can see the woman responsible for destroying the Shikon jewel, isn't that right, Kagome-chan?"
Every one of the members of the Nura Gumi turned towards my mother, astonished.
"Your mother is 'that' Kagome? Lady Kagome?" Rikuo turned around to me. I nodded shyly.
"How dare you address to my woman like that, you freak!" my father yelled in anger.
"Ha! If it isn't the half-demon Inuyasha or should I say, no demon?" snorted Bankotsu.
"Kgh" exclaimed my father.
Then Bankotsu turned towards Rikuo and me.
"Always so overprotective over you lady friend, ah Rikuo?" he said.
How does he know so much about my family? He must've been researching or something meanwhile he wasn't attacking…
I separated from Rikuo's protective arm and looked up where Bankotsu was. He was holding his huge sword. This isn't good… I've got to protect my family, mainly my father…
"What is the meaning of this, Bankotsu?" I asked.
"Oi, stand back, Kameko!" Rikuo yelled but I paid him no mind.
Once again I turn towards Bankotsu saying, "Answer me!" with such authority even the Nura Gumi flinched.
"Well, what do you think Kameko dear? To finish what we started…" said nonchalantly. From behind the rest of the band of Seven appeared. It seems that Ginkotsu was clad in some sort of tank or something, with Renkotsu riding on its back and Suikotsu riding in the front. The lady boy was walking towards his leader.
"You must cease of this nonsense, Bankotsu. The grudge you hold is with me not her nor her family," barked Rikuo.
"See, Rikuo, that's were you're wrong. We were once a group of mercenaries paid to kill… which is what we do best. We don't acknowledge the coexistence of ayakashi and humans, thus making Kameko all the more a target for being such abomination. But don't think I'd leave you out of this; you too are such thing…" he said pointing his Banryu toward us.
"Then why are you using demonic power in your weapon?" asked Seiichimaru.
"Glad you ask, Heir to the Land of the West…" said Bankotsu. "The only way to kill all of youkais was to grant my sword such power…" he said patting his huge halberd. "This amazing weapon has killed a 1,000 humans and only 999 demons. It hasn't reached its full potential yet, but I thought I'd save it for the Head of the Nura Clan…"
"Answer me boy, why is it that you've targeted our clan? We have hundreds of years of history…" asked the Supreme Commander.
"Jii-san, you see, if I managed to destroy the head of the Nura Gumi, knowing they where the most powerful yakuza family in the country, all the other demons would be easier to destroy," said Bankotsu with so much confidence.
This guy is nuts! How does he think he can defeat such a strong army of demons?
"After I found out that their Young Head has enrolled in this school, I knew the fates had aligned since it would be easier to kill him and then defeat the rest of the clan. Wasn't counting on his subordinates being here but eh, what the heck… its being fun so far," his look changed all of the sudden, making the hairs at the back of my neck lift.
He means business…
"… But its all over now," he yelled launching towards us.
"This day, Rikuo, you shall die!"
