InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Objection Tango ❯ Naraku face to face ( Chapter 17 )
Kikyo spotted Kagura hiding in the bushes but she pretended not to notice since she wasn't a threat. Kikyo leaned against the tree standing on a branch.
"Graze his arm enough to cause pain." Kikyo barely whispered so Inuyasha nor Sesshoumaru would hear with their sensitive ears. Kagome released the arrow grazing Sesshoumaru's arm. He let out a painful yell and Kagome took off. She gave them one last look before she and Kikyo left. Inuyasha stood up.
"KIKYO LET HER GO!!!!!!!!!!" Inuyasha yelled. Kikyo looked at Kagome.
"Not just yet Inuyasha. She's going to help me bring down Naraku."
***
Back at Myouga's Inn. Rin patched up Sesshoumaru's arm which was burned pretty badly but too serious. In the backroom Rin and Sesshoumaru heard a loud slap. They both sighed shaking their heads.
"Why are you touching down there for Miroku it's not wounded?!!!"
"Oh I thought I saw wound down there."
"I'll show A WOUND YOU LECH!!!!!" They heard Sango giving Miroku the beaten of his life. In the room across the hall another beaten was given.
"How could you leave like that?!! Then when everything is over you return as if NOTHING happened!!!!" Inuyasha hollered.
"Sorry sir but my stomach got filled with gas and I had to run to the doctor because it would've blew up." Myouga poorly lied. Inuyasha sighed looking down he then gave Myouga a sympathetic look.
"Oh right." Inuyasha's fist connected with the top of Myouga's head. "How could I forget? When the going gets tough you start running." Inuyasha grunted as he stood up and walked out the room at the same time Sango and a battered Miroku came out. Inuyasha shook his head at Miroku and walked to the torn living where Rin and Sesshoumaru sitting. Myouga gasped and started jumping up and down.
"My, my, my living room how am I suppose to get the money to pay for that?!" Myouga started rubbing his head. Inuyasha buttoned his shirt up and he walked to the door.
"Inuyasha where are you going with your wound? It still didn't heal all the way." Rin told him.
"Who cares I have business to finish."
"And do what die?" Miroku asked him as he blocked the door.
"No!! I'm going to save Kagome!" Inuyasha snapped. "Now move!!"
"Inuyasha I understand you want Kagome back we all do. She's a big help to us but going into a fight without a plan isn't wise." Miroku told Inuyasha.
"Get off my back!! I don't give a damn what you say I'm going to get Kagome!!" Inuyasha pushed Miroku out the way and walked out the door. Sesshoumaru sighed and looked at the watch on his wrist.
'5....4....3......2.....1.' Sesshoumaru looked at the door. Inuyasha walked back into the room with a flustered look on his face and red cheeks. Miroku looked confused.
"Why you back so soon?"
"I was gonna go after them but I don't know where they went." Inuyasha looked out the window as his cheeks turned redder. Sesshoumaru rolled his eyes taking the remote and hitting Inuyasha in the head with it. Inuyasha groaned and held the back of his head he turned around looking at Sesshoumaru. "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?!!"
"Dummy even though you're a half breed you still have demon blood coursing through your veins. You can smell her scent and follow it."
"Oh....yeah." Inuyasha blushed harder and walked out the door not saying anything. Sesshoumaru looked back down at his watch.
'5....4....3....2....1'. Inuyasha came back through the door.
"Um he....he....he." He rubbed the back of his head. "I forgot my sword." He smiled while a sweat drop came from his head. ^_^' Rin, Sango, Miroku and Myouga fell down from his comment.
(A/N: You know those hilarious falls ALL anime characters do when someone says something stupid or someone does an unexpected action. GOTTA LOVE EM *.*)
Sesshoumaru tossed him the sword. Inuyasha caught the sword and headed out the door once again. Rin sat back down on the couch rubbing her head.
"How can someone be that dense?" She just shook her head. Sesshoumaru sighed and smirked.
"I know him from back to front." Even though he wasn't too proud to brag about that. Miroku then looked at Sesshoumaru in a serious manner.
"Do you think it's wise to let Inuyasha go off on his on? What if he does find Kagome and Kikyo? What would happened?" Miroku questioned Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru looked at Miroku and shook his head.
"Of course we're not going to let him go off on his own. We'll catch up to him. But it's better to let him go off and think he's going to do something on his own. You know that jackass is going to get himself in trouble." Sesshoumaru stood up pulling the sleeve down to his shirt. "Anything involving Inuyasha is never simple."
"True." Miroku nodded.
There was a light scratch on the door they all raised eyebrow and got their weapons willing to attack any moment. Miroku opened the door only to see no one there. They all looked confused then Sango's face lit up.
"Kilala." The small cat demon ran to Sango jumping in her arms. Sango hugged the cat tightly smiling happily. "Oh Kilala. I thought you were killed." She smiled happily.
"Let's be rejoice later. We have to go." Sesshoumaru said to them all.
"Right." Sango nodded.
"Myouga are you coming?" Miroku asked him. Myouga gasped and rubbed the back of his head.
"You know I would love to but I have to stay here to clean up." He nodded and smiled. "Yeah that's right. I have to stay to clean." For once he wasn't using an excuse.....well sort of.
"Right. Be careful demons might attack here looking for us." Rin said as they walked out the door. Myouga let out a yelped and ran out the door.
"I think I can assist you all. My knowledge can help a lot." He smiled. Sango threw Kilala up and she transformed bigger Sango, Miroku and Myouga jumped out. Sesshoumaru carried Rin on his back and they all took off.
***
Inuyasha sniffed the ground looking around.
"Damn I don't know difference between Kagome's scent and Kikyo's scent." Inuyasha stood up rubbing his head. "Oh but duh wherever Kikyo is Kagome is. Oh I'm smart." Inuyasha pat himself on back proudly and took off.
***
Kikyo sat in room on the phone with Naraku. Kagome sat on the windowsill looking out the window.
'I'll kill Naraku and then I have to kill Kikyo. I have to avenge Mom and Grandpa.' Kagome looked down at her hands as she felt her nerves jump. She felt bad for grazing Sesshoumaru's arm but her heart really ache for what she did to Inuyasha. She loved him and Kikyo knew that that's specifically why Kikyo had her do that. She knew Inuyasha was coming but she had to think of a plan because surely Kikyo is going to make her kill him. And she rather give up her own life then to kill Inuyasha. Boy she was in a bad position.
Kikyo walked out to living room she looked at Kagome and rolled her eyes.
"Kagome I'm not dumb. But you can sure do some good acting now I know why you're a great agent." Kiyo smirked and crossed her arms. Kagome gave Kikyo a nasty look.
"If you knew that much why you try?"
"I don't know. I always wanted a little puppy dog." Kikyo shrugged. "Look we have to kill Naraku and that's the bottom line. I'm saying this one time we have to team up to defeat Naraku. Once he is defeated I go my way you go your way and we will never cross paths again." Kikyo said to her sister this time not looking at her. Kagome stood up looking in shock.
"Kikyo how can you say that? You're the only family I have left. You can't just walk out my life. As much as I always hated you you're still my sister and I can't break that family love I have for you." Kagome exclaimed. "After all you killed Mom and Grandpa." Kagome said slowly. Kikyo looked at Kagome and shook her head.
"You DUMB BITCH!!!" Kikyo yelled at Kagome startling her. Kagome gasped and jumped from the thunderous sound of Kikyo's voice. "Do you believe everything you're told Kagome. I had to tell you I killed them so you wouldn't tell the cops who really did it."
"Who really killed Mom and Grandpa?" Kagome asked quietly. Kiyko's clutched her fist as they shook a little.
"Naraku. From the time you were born till you were six Naraku's been asking Grandpa for his shrine. But Grandpa refused to give up the Higurashi Shrine. So Naraku told him if didn't give it up he would kill him and Mom. Grandpa and Mom said they rather die then to give it up and bam Naraku gave them that wish. He killed them right in front of me and he told me if the cops found out he would kill me. I was not planning on being as foolish as Grandpa and Mom I valued my life more then anything and that is why I beat you and I beat so you wouldn't tell. So that is why I must kill Naraku and that is why I'm using you. You're arrows can kill him faster then mine. My arrows are tarnished with hate and sorrow yours is still pure."
"Kikyo why don't you ask me for my help then using me. I will help you."
"Fine if you want to help please pretend to be under my control. And I have a plan." Kikyo walked to her sister she began whispering in Kagome's ear. Kagome nodded as she listened carefully.
***
Inuyasha landed in a tree by Kikyo's window. He saw Kagome sitting in front of the window with her back towards him. He sighed watching her he then saw Kikyo walk up to her. Kagome stood up and they both left the apartment door. He watched them walk to a car getting in the car and driving off. He followed the car and it stopped at the nightly sky. He raised his eyebrow looking confused.
"What in the world? There's nothing there." He whispered. Kikyo and Kagome got out the car Kikyo walked up to the nightly sky and held her hand up. The minute she held her hand up a building appeared. Inuyasha gasped looking in shock. "That has to be Naraku's building. No wonder why we couldn't find his building he had a barrier to hid it. It blended in with the day and night. He silently followed them. Kikyo looked at Kagome.
"We have to make sure no one else comes. Naraku only want certain people to enter his building. For what reason? I don't know. He has all the jewel shards, he has all the companies under his control and yet he still fears something. I have you under my spell so you don't hurt him but something still scares him. I'll find out." Kikyo said as she and Kagome went up some steps. Inuyasha stood under the staircase watching them going up.
"Ha. Kikyo doesn't even notice me. And what a great prize I'll get Kagome back and I'll kill Naraku all at once." He looked at the Tetsusaiga strapped at his waist.
***
"Sesshoumaru do you know where Inuyasha is?" Miroku asked. Sesshoumaru sniffed the air and kept moving.
"Yeah, I can smell his scent he was here. I can also smell Kagome." Sesshoumaru answered.
"Sesshoumaru stop!!" Miroku yelled causing Sesshoumaru to halt. He looked at Miroku. "There's a barrier there and if you touch who knows what will happen." Kilala landed before the barrier. Sango, Miroku and Myouga got off of her. Sesshoumaru let Rin down.
"Well here's Inuyasha and Kagome's scent. I even smell Naraku in there."
"This must be Naraku's hideout. How do we get in?" Sango asked. They all stared at the night intensely.
***
Kikyo and Kagome entered the room where Kagura, Kanna and Naraku were. Naraku stood up looking intensely angry.
"Kikyo what is the meaning of this? Why is it every time I send my minions to kill them and I send you and that girl along my minions always end up dieing?!" Naraku's voice raised a bit. Kikyo crossed her arm and titled her head to the side.
"Is that so? Because if I can remember most of the Shichintai Tribe were dead when you called for me." She smirked Naraku narrowed his eyes at her then took a seat not saying anything. "Besides you have nothing to fear Kagome is here with me on our side."
"That's the thing. Who's our side? Who side are you on?" Naraku asked. Kikyo simply smiled at him and shook her head.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Naraku if I wasn't on your side don't you think I would've fled and not come to you when you call."
"Who knows? You're a lot smarter and conniving then you let off. You're a very shrewd woman and there's no way I would turn my back on you for a quick second." He told her. Kikyo didn't say anything but her smile grew.
"If you knew that much why did you bother to hire me?" She looked at him with her smile still plastered on her face. Naraku's face grew tighter with anger.
"Woman kill Inuyasha and his gang once they have arrived. Use Kagome to kill them I don't care how you do it. Just do it and if this fails you'll die."
"Yes Master Naraku." Kikyo bowed. "Let's go." Kikyo ordered Kagome they both walked out the room. Naraku made a fist as it trembled.
'Damn that Kikyo.' He thought to himself. "Kagura, Kanna watch her and if she does anything suspicious kill her and the girl."
"Yes sir." They both walked out the room. Naraku looked out the window.
"I'm going to become a full demon and no one's going to stand in my way. Not now, not ever." Naraku stood up and pressed a button letting the barrier down.
They all stood back as the building appeared.
"Is it a trap?" Miroku asked. Sesshoumaru looked at the building closely he then looked at Miroku.
"You sense the evil?"
"Oh yeah. It's making my skin crawl." Miroku shivered. Sesshoumaru nodded his head.
"Naraku is definitely in here as Inuyasha and Kagome. And I'm sure Kikyo's in here as well. Let's move in." He began walking. They all followed him into the building. Inuyasha looked up and saw them walk into the lobby looking around. He walked out the of hiding spot.
"Yo." He waved and smiled at them.
"Inuyasha are you ok?" Sango asked him. He nodded his head.
"I'm fine. Kikyo and Kagome went up there. I'm assuming Naraku is up there." He told them.
"How come you didn't follow them?" Miroku questioned. Inuyasha crossed his arms and cleared his throat.
"I was trying to um....um....think of a plan." He answered which caused all to fall out in laughter. He growled his eyebrow twitched. "HEY WHAT'S SO FUNNY?!!!!" He yelled holding up a fist. Miroku wiped his watery eyes.
"Inuyasha no offense but you're not the type to actually sit and think of a plan. Are you not?"
"FEH! Whatever." Inuyasha crossed his arms. Sesshoumaru shook his head as he tried to hide his laughter.
Just then the lights in the lobby came on everyone became focus and looked around. They then spotted Kikyo and Kagome on top of the stairs staring down at them. Kikyo just shook her head and sighed.
"Boy I tell ya. How do you agents ever expect to defeat someone like Naraku if you can't even keep your attention focus for more then three seconds?"
"Kikyo let Kagome go!" Inuyasha shouted. Kikyo waved her hand at him and she put her arms behind her head looking extremely bored.
"Kagome kill them." Kikyo ordered. Kagome shot a arrow which flew directly at them. They all gasped not knowing who the arrow was gonna hit. Then a body was heard hitting the ground. They all looked at each other seeing none of them die. "Perfect shot." Kikyo smiled.
"Huh?" They all turned around and saw the motionless body of a demon. Kagura gasped looking shock as Kagome's second arrow just missed her.
"Kikyo what the hell are you doing? That demon was going to kill them!!!" Kagura yelled. Kikyo gasped pretending to look concern. She then slapped Kagome across the face.
"You stupid girl shoot them not the demons!!!" Kikyo yelled pointing at Inuyasha and the others. Kagome released another arrow striking down another demon. Kikyo cleared her throat to hold in her laugh. Kagura pulled out her fan and swiped it at Kikyo and Kagome. Kagome shot another arrow blocking the attack. "Kagura you tell Naraku this....I work for him no more and I will kill him. Even if it means killing myself I will kill him. As a matter of fact I know you're watching Naraku I will kill you. You murder my family and you blackmailed me for the longest. I will be free of your grasp."
***
Naraku slammed his fist down on the desk.
"I knew she was plotting against me. Kagura kill those Higurashi girls now!!!" Naraku yelled.
***
Kagura lifted her fan up but she didn't move an arrow struck the wall a few inches from her face. She looked up back at Kikyo and Kagome this time Kikyo had the bow in her hands. Kikyo looked at Kagome, Kagome nodded and jumped over the banister. Inuyasha caught her.
"Kagome?"
"No time to waste come on guys let's hurry." Kagome said as she ran up the stairs they all followed her. Inuyasha ran next to her.
"How did you get from under Kikyo's control?"
"I was never under. That was all acting." Kagome told them.
"What?!!" Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru exclaimed. Sesshoumaru ran on the other side of Kagome.
"You grazed my arm Kagome and that hurt." He told her.
"And you sure did some damage to my chest ya know!!! It didn't tickle!!" Inuyasha yelled. Kagome winced and smiled nervously.
"I'll make it up to you two."
"Damn right you will." They snapped in unison. Kagome sighed she was always getting herself into something and Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru weren't the duo you really wanted to piss off. Kagome opened Naraku's door they saw a him standing by the window not looking at them.
"So you all finally came. Great now the battle may begin. The Battle Between Life OR Death. Which one will you grasp?" Naraku asked them. Inuyasha pulled out the Tetsusaiga and brought it down over Naraku.
"You will grasp Death!" He sliced Naraku in half. They all gasped. Inuyasha looked around. "Was that it?"
"Is he dead?" Miroku asked looking around.
