Get Bent

I don’t own anything Inuyasha.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Kaze no Kizzzuuuuu!” As Tetsusaiga swung, Inuyasha turned towards his miko companion, too busy with the fight to notice anything else. “Shoot, Kagome!”

“Hiraikotsu!” Sango bounded away from the miasma and tentacles out for her death, landing on Miroku, than called out, “Kagome!”

Sesshoumaru pull the string back with practiced, graceful strength and attempted to focus the foreign, spiritual powers in his loose control, than released the dully illuminated arrow... which landed softly a few feet from its target.

"…What the!…” Inuyasha screamed.

When you had claws, poison, youki whip, and katana, training on a bow seemed unnecessary… until now.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Naraku was laughing at ‘her’. Even worse, he had a reason.

Scowling, Sesshoumaru gripped the bow; its tingling spiritual energy connecting with the miko’s body, but he couldn’t use either one.

As their arrogant enemy chuckled carelessly it gave ‘Sesshoumaru’ just enough time to follow her instincts.

Using her newfound speed, Kagome jumped in front of ‘herself’, growling and sword drawn.

Kagome knew he was angry; beyond pissed even, but after everything that had happened, what was one more? He might admonish her for shielding him, but Kagome couldn’t let Sesshoumaru get hurt while in her body.

“I’ll protect you.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Naraku’s laughing stopped.

In fact, everything stopped the moment the mighty Western Lord vowed to guard a human miko. Stranger still, ‘Sesshoumaru’ was seemingly unconcerned with ‘his’ own well-being and ‘Kagome’ fumed at the taiyoukai shielding him.

The situation was odd, but Naraku knew secrets when he saw them. Those two were hiding something and the villain smirked; recognizing they had something to hide could be as beneficial as knowing what it was.

“Inuyasha,” Naraku taunted, “You fail to obtain the jewel, failed to kill me, and failed protecting your miko. Is that why she’s now Sesshoumaru’s?”

Kagome stilled. …..WHAT!?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Inuyasha gripped onto Tetsusaiga with deadly force. His brother just claimed what was always his, and it was acknowledged by another demon… even if it was Naraku.

He growled, feeling his control waver and his eyes grow hot as red bled into them. No… my Kagome…

Sesshoumaru was losing his control as well. The foolish miko had just used him to make a lifetime vow of protection. As his irritation grew, a strange sensation from the pit of his stomach followed. It was warm, powerful, and exciting. In his anger, he embraced it, and felt an explosion of tingling waves.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kagome wasn’t sure of the source, but the energy from behind her screamed DANGER! and she jumped once again to instinctively avoid it. ‘Sesshoumaru’ gasped when she turned to find herself as the threat.

‘Kagome’ had her teeth clenched and fists balled tight. His skirt and hair danced with the spiritual flames emitting in deadly waves from his skin. It was… frightening. Even worse, ‘she’ was glaring right at her… and so was Inuyasha, looking like he wanted to cut off more than ‘his’ arm.

“Not me, you baka!” ‘Sesshoumaru’ bellowed down at them while pointing at Naraku. “Get him!”
