There was another slam into the barrier. Inu no Taisho grimaced, "He's a strong one, isn't he?" He said it more as a statement.
Kagome could see the growing difficulty of holding the barrier in place. She turned and saw Sesshomaru behind her. "We're gonna need back-up." Her phone started to ring and it was a number she didn't recognize. Sesshomaru nodded for her to answer the call. "Hello?" she asked into the receiver.
"Hello my dear," it was a female voice, "you knew we'd find you eventually." There was a silence and Kagome's eyes widened. "Your mother doesn't even get a 'How are you?' We'll just correct you, how we did in the past. As soon as your father and I break this barrier you'll be back home answering to us for leaving so long ago." She ended the call and Kagome heard a roar.
Kagome dropped her phone. She felt as if her heart had stopped. How had they found her so quickly? She knew it was only a matter of time before they found her, especially after that paparazzi fiasco. She couldn't breathe. She sank to her knees with shock written all over her face. She was trying to fathom how could they know exactly where to go. She could hear Sesshomaru barking orders to someone on the phone. She felt the nudge someone gave her. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath and held it. 'Five seconds. Four. Three. Two. One.' She opened her eyes and got to her feet. She looked at everyone in the room, who seemed to flinch at her gaze. She did a better cold stare than the 'Killing Perfection' himself. She looked at him, "Who's coming?"
"InuYasha is almost here- about five minutes away," he said waiting for her to give instructions.
She nodded her head, "I need a pair of sai, a sword, and armor." Sesshomaru began walking away. She grabbed her phone and followed. She dailed Sango.
"Hey girl. What's up?" Sango said as she answered her phone.
"They found me. I'm at the Taisho's."
"We're on the way. Two minutes."
She ended the call and followed Sesshomaru into the basement of the manor. The was an extensive armory, and the two began to 'suit up.' "They both have brute strength, but my mother is more cunning. She's the one that you need to watch for." She strapped a breast plate on and started tying the weapons to her body, she knew she wouldn't be in her humanoid form for long. She looked up at him as she secured the blade on her hip to see that he was completely prepared, having donned traditional fighting attire. She smiled at him slightly as she tied her hair into a high ponytail. "Let's remove this problem." She grabbed a couple more swords and Sesshomaru grabbed armor for his father.
They darted back to the living room. Inu no Taisho was breaking a sweat with his eyes squeezed shut, "Been a while since I've had to use this much energy," he opened one eye and smiled. "I miss it."
"You should be getting a break soon," as Kagome said that, the slamming against the sheild stopped. "Hurry. That's Sango, and maybe Miroku. They can't fight those two for long." She walked pass Sesshomaru to the front door. "We'll lead them away, so a protection barrier can keep your home safe. This ends today."
She walked out the door, and Sesshomaru followed her. Kagome heard Sango yell, "Hiraikotsu!" Her eyes widened, her stare hardened, and she bolted in the direction of the fight with Sesshomaru hot on her heels.
She unsheathed the sword and sliced her father's back open and continued to run further from the Taisho manor.
"Our daughter has finally come out to play," Kagome heard her mother say lovingly.
Kagome slid to a stop in a clearing, Sesshomaru, Sango, Miroku, and InuYasha did the same a moment later. They all wore traditional fighting attire. Kagome's was similar to Sango's, except her's had green accents. "Kill my mother first. My father can't do anything without her planning," Kagome said with a cold tone. They all nodded their understanding and waited for the two demons to enter the clearing.
"Kukuku," Kagome's father chuckled darkly. "It's time to come home, Kagome."
Everyone took a defensive stance, and waited for their main target to emerge. There was a rustle to the right of them Sango was the one to speak. "What is Hojo doing here?"
Kagome took a deep breath and smelled the strange-ness in his scent. It was her father's scent mingling with his. "He's dying with my parents."
Hojo threw himself at them in a hysterical manner. "I got this," Miroku said as he stepped in Hojo's way of Kagome and punched the boy in the jaw.
At that moment, Kagome's father attacked. He surged forward with an evil gleam in his eyes. "At least this time you can fight back, daughter!" he yelled as he got closer. Kagome crouched, but Sesshomaru and InuYasha beat her. They both lept into action and acted the father. Kagome used her aura to feel for her mother's and found it away from the action in the safety of the treeline.
"Come out, and fight, you coward!" Kagome called in the direction of where she felt her mother.
The woman walked out of the cover of the trees. Kagome and Sango were on alert. "You wouldn't really hurt me. I am still your mother." The woman feigned a hurt expression.
"You bet your ass I would," Kagome stated flatly as she and Sango took a defensive stance.
The woman ran at her full speed and shouted, "You insolent BITCH!"
She swung down at Kagome with her claws, but Kagome blocked the attack with her sword and pushed back causing the woman to stumble backward. Kagome then took the offensive while her mother regained her footing and attacked. They faught blow for blow. Swing for swing. They were evenly matched and Sango waited until there was an opening for her to attack the woman and help her best friend. Finally, Kagome got a leg up. Her mother lost her footing on a loose root and tripped. Sango took the opportunity and went around behind the woman while Kagome faced her head on. The woman jumped forward with her arms streched outward as if she was going to grab Kagome's throat. Sango sped to the woman and drove her sword into the woman's back; impaling her and causing her to fall to her knees. Kagome walked up to the woman sitting on her knees and lifted her face to look her in the eyes.
"Look at me," Kagome said coldly. The woman continued to avert her gaze. "Look into the eyes of the woman who will take your life." She looked into her daughter's eyes. "It could have been different." The woman opened her mouth to say something and Kagome drove her sword down into the woman's mouth and out of the back of her neck. She removed the sword, and the woman fell over in a gurgling, coughing fit.
"Na-Nara-ku-" the woman coughed out.
"No one can help you, but it's nice to know my father's name," Kagome said coldly before she decapitated the woman and threw the bloodied sword down.
She grabbed the woman's head and walked to where the fight had moved with her father and Sesshomaru. She felt Inu no Taisho's presence, and she could no longer feel Hojo. She and Sango walked to the new battle field, and they saw her father's, Naraku's, large size. "Hey Naraku!" she called, her voice starting to merge with her beast. He turned and laughed at her. "You lost something back there." She threw the head at him as her eyes began to bleed. He growled at her menacingly, roared, and charged at her. Kagome roared back, pulled out her sai, and ran toward him.
