‘Thinking’

Chapter 3
Eyes Wide Open


After the demons started coming, Inuyasha grabbed hold of Kagome and the group took off to the sides while they pulled out there weapons to attack. They came in all directions, the group fought as hard as they could, and more. The more they destroyed the more came to avenge the dead, or so it seemed. Kagome launched arrow after arrow charged with her holy powers at the best of her ability, Kaede did as best she could to train the young miko before the big battle. Inuyasha waved his sword in the air, almost aimlessly trying to cut throw the hoards of demons. He would have used Wind Scar, but they were to close and it would be deadly. Sesshoumaru cut hoards of demons with his sword Tokijin, making sure to keep Tenseiga ready incase anyone was killed.

The other comrades where fighting with everything they got, Kouga didn’t have his shards so he wasn’t as fast, but he still had his normal youkai speed which was good enough with these weak youkais. Sango fought with her Hiraikotsu, she couldn’t throw it but she could swing it around and take out a few dozen youkai. Miroku uses his Staff to clobber some youkai, and then suck them up in the Wind Tunnel aiming it over his head so not to suck up his comrades. Shippou used Fox Fire on some youkai trying to defend Rin and himself, while they hid under Ah and Uh, with Jaken using the Staff of Heads to protect them. Naraku stopped the hoards, only to smile at them from afar.

Inuyasha was ready to charge, but Kagome grabbed his shoulder. He looked over to see Kanna, Kagura, Kohaku and Kikyou walk out from behind the building all ready for the battle. Naraku pulled a purplish-red glowing orb out of his haori, he squeezed it not even looking behind him knowing Kagura dropped to the ground in pain, showing her that if she disobeyed it would be FAR worse.

Kagura stood back up in silence, using her eyes to ‘tell’ Sesshoumaru not to over react just yet, because she didn’t want to destroy what they planned to early in the battle. Sesshoumaru gave the smallest of smiles to show that he knew what she was ‘saying’, to a silent agreement before turning his face into hard stone. Blood was everywhere, the group was almost ankle deep in blood and entrails. But they did not flinch, as they had more important things to worry about then how they’re going to get blood off their feet. Shippou stood in front of Rin protecting the young human with his life, showing that he was doing as much as the others in the battle, and not being a helpless kit. He knew his father would be proud of him, he knew it everyday when he went on his travels.

Naraku was standing 20 feet from the gang, eyeing them like useless pray that didn’t even have enough meat to feed him. Kikyou was on his left side, Kagura on his right, with Kohaku and Kanna in front of him. Kanna kept her mirror turned sideways as not to activate it just yet, until they did a direct attack on her ‘master’. Naraku almost gloated at the winning chances of the Inu-gang, he was almost laughing but he only let a smile show his happiness. He had all the advantages, he had all there loved ones under his spell, and he would enjoy every minute of their suffering.

They readied their weapons to fight, all shaking with excitement and fear. They charged together only to be stopped by a blood curdling scream from there left, they looked over to see a woman running from the woods with a child in her arms bleeding. Behind her they could see the trees splitting and falling with a loud thundering crash, she ran towards them almost pleading for help when a huge dragon youkai burst throw the foliage towards the helpless woman and her child. The great youkai slapped a clawed hand towards the woman slamming her hard into a tree, making a sickening cracking sound of bones and bark.

The young child was thrown from her arms in the middle of the battle lying there unconscious, bleeding all over from the small frame. The dragon youkai disregarded the woman only to eye the child that was almost half dead already, he started charging at the child only to be stopped by Kagomes sacred arrow. The youkai dug into the ground throwing a huge chunk of the earth away with the arrow stuck in the center, he opened his mouth lunging his ‘face’ towards the child ready to devour it whole when the child awoke and seen the huge teeth and jaws. The child held out its hands to block the youkai, only to feel a shock from her palms and an ear-shattering screech from the huge youkai. The child opened her eyes, only to see half the youkais ‘face’ burned off by the shock. She backed away only to back into a huge tree, she braced herself for the attack only to not feel the tearing of her flesh with the gargantuan teeth. She looked up to see the dragon distracted by a Kitsune and an Inu-Hanyou, she was happy yet sad because she could not see her mother. “Okaa-sama…?” The child said.

She ran behind the dragon not caring what would happen. She could see the battered body of her mother, the tears wanted to come, but they never left her soul. She ran to her mother shaking her limp body “Okaa-sama…wake up…please wake up…OKAA-SAMA!!!!!!” Then the tears sprang forward as the limp body would not move and not breathe, she was giving heart-wrenching sobs for her mothers lost life. She could hear the laugher of the dragon youkai his laugh shook the earth, the laugh tore out her heart and shredded it to pieces. “To bad your mother was a HUMAN you weak HANYOU!!!!” he said laughing at her sorrow, with much pleasure. “Don’t worry hanyou you will see her soon!!!” he said before lunging at the child with his still half burnt face, he could almost taste her young innocent flesh. Then he smelt it, it was not the blood of a hanyou but a full youkais. But it was too late, the child spun around and ripped his head off with her small hands in a single swipe. The dragon youkais body dropped like a ton of bricks onto the ground, bleeding profusely from its severed neck spraying onto the girls’ already bloody body.

The child passed out of loss of blood, she was welcome to it as long as she could sleep for a few seconds and dream of her mother alive and well. The Inu-gang was in shock at the strength and speed of the young child, Kagome ran over to the child and picked up her limp body hoping she did not die. She ran back to the gang and held her close hoping her bleeding would stop, she bandaged her wounds while the gang stood strait making sure Naraku didn’t try to attack while they were busy. Naraku was watching with interest, something they feared. Then they all were taken back as Naraku smiled towards the still form of the child-hanyou, with almost happiness. Inuyasha looked down at the child, then looking at the dead dragon-youkai in distaste, growling at the dragon youkai for killing her mother in cold blood. He felt sorrow for the young child, to lose her mother so early in her life.

They could already see the childs wounds healing, they didn’t know how but they were healing at an alarming fast rate. The little girl had white hair, with cute little ears, and purple eyes. Inuyasha could smell hanyou, but it was hard since the child was blocking her sent. He did not know how that was possible for a child at such a young age, and for having a human mother was even harder to accomplish with out sever training for years and years. Inuyasha could never accomplish that feat even with a Tai-youkai father and a human mother, he never had time. The child woke up with a yawn looking into Kagomes eyes, “who are you?” she asked quietly. “My name is Kagome, this is Inuyasha, Sango, Kirara, Ayame, Kouga, Miroku, Shippou, Sesshoumaru, Rin, Jaken and Ah and Uh.” she said while she pointed to each of the fallowing names she said, the child smiled at them weakly and yawned. She sat up in Kagomes lap to look over at Naraku “who are they?” she pointed, Naraku looked all to pleased that the child had asked. “I am your Otou-sama…” he said smiling at the young child, he knew he smelled that woman before. He had seen her helpless in the forest and…used her to his pleasure. He did not expect to see her birth a child, he expected her to die.

The childs’ eyes lit up like a thousand candles, she has never seen her father or hear of her mother speak of him. She knew what fathers were and she longed for a ‘family’ to be loved with, just knowing he existed made her soul brighten. She jumped from Kagomes arms with an alarming speed and lunged at her father with open arms, only to be hugged in return. “I’m happy you have come…Musume” He hugged her tighter, smiling at the Inu-gang that was in utter shock of the news. “What is your name daughter?” he asked in a soft tone almost caring, “Nekayasha!” she said smiling at her father “What a nice name….” He said, “Kohaku…come here” he said, Kohaku walked over and knelled on one knee before his ‘master’. Naraku pulled the jewel shard out of his back smiling, “I no longer need you since I have her.” With that they were all released from there holds, Kanna looked like a normal black hair brown eyed child holding a broken mirror, Kohaku was normal again blinking and looking around, Kagura was in shock that he would released them all that easily without even a fight, it was almost unnerving. Kikyou looked on in wonder, but still steadfast incase of an attack from the Inu-gang or Naraku she did not trust him at all. But still fought beside him in detest, in fear of having her souls sucked out and she could not avenge her death. Kohaku was still alive because of the power of the Shikon-no-Kakera, which has been in his back for so long that it rubbed its power off on him to heal his wounds. Kaguras’ ‘heart’ was turned to ash showing that she was no longer controlled, she was happy but she knew her happiness would not last because she knew there was something wrong about all of this.

The 3 of them ran towards the Inu-gang in hopes of staying away from Naraku, they did not want to die so early in there happiness of being released. “You are all wondering why I released you don’t you?” he smiled, and then he started laughing evilly. With that he handed Kikyou the almost complete jewel with only one shard not accounted for, which was the one he took out of Kohakus’ back. “Put it together” he told her, and she fallowed his orders. Kagura stood by Sesshoumaru, Kohaku beside Sango while she hugged him like a child loosing a lost puppy when they were but a child, and Kanna beside Rin and Shippou. Nekayasha looked up at her father wondering what he was doing, he smiled as the black jewel was now whole. He looked down at her and smiled while he held the jewel between his pointer finger and thumb, he rested the jewel against the middle of her forehead and pressed…hard. He forced the jewel so hard it was embedding itself in her forehead, she was screaming and crying in pain as he pressed further into her forehead smiling at his wicked plan. The jewel was pressed in deep only showing a little black on her forehead of a heart-shape, the child looked at her father while tears rolled down her small cheeks. “o…otou-sama…w…what did you do?” she asked, but then was contorted in agony from all over her body. She sent a blood-curdling scream from with in her tiny lungs, she was dropped onto the ground as her body shook and convulsed in pain. All Naraku was doing was watching as his ‘daughter’, who was now screaming for it to stop. Inuyasha and the gang were beside them selves to help, they did not know how to stop him. They did not know what he was planning and they did not want to try to stop him, because Kikyou was ready for them aiming her bow at them ready to strike them dead with out hesitation. They could all see the child throwing herself around, almost trying to hurt herself to make the pain stop that could not be seen. All of a sudden there was a sickening crunch and a screech that came from the childs mouth and her back was starting to move on its own.


There was a rip of fabric as a white slimy thing was coming out of her back, the child was screaming still as the thing started crawling out of her back onto the ground with a slush of white liquid and blood. The girls’ body was no more but a discarded animal pelt, gutted and all. What ever came out was something unholy, the group stood ready to kill what ever killed the innocent child. The creature stood up on both legs, it had long silky white hair that reached her knees almost mid calf with almost cream-colored skin. The blood that coated the creatures’ body was an enormous amount, the blood and hair hid her naked body from alluring any male attention. The smell of the childs spilt blood was sickening to the youkais and hanyou. The creature looked towards Naraku, and then she turned towards the Inu-group smiling. The creature looked just like the child, only a lot older and more beautiful. She had purple eyes, with white hair and cute little ears on her head that twitched in there direction and back towards Naraku. She slowly advanced on them smiling almost happily, she walked towards Kagome, and Inuyasha was about to stop her when he was flung back by a shock from the ‘woman’. Kagome stared at her in shock before Neka took her hand and put it around her neck, chocking the life out of her. Inuyasha could do nothing more then to cut off her arm with Tetsusaiga, blood sprayed everywhere from the severed limb. Kagome throw off the severed limb from her neck, almost throwing up from the feel of dead flesh on her skin. Neka just smiled showing no hint of pain or shock, she grinned evilly as her arm grew back. She then laughed at them all, for being so cute and weak. She did not smell at all like a hanyou, she smelt like a full youkai. Her attitude was almost that of a childs’, like a child born into a woman’s body. She squeezed her hand into a fist, seeing that her arm was working properly she looked back towards Kagome and Inuyasha. “Do not think it will be easy to dispose of me…weak youkai.” She said while smiling, “The Shikon and I merged into one, I am whole and powerful. I will not waist my time with you weaklings, I am leaving” she said, with that she started walking away. “CHILD!! You shall not depart with out disposing of these youkai!!” Naraku said shaking in anger that his plan was not working, he sent a shock of power out of one of his spikes (A/N: I don’t know what the attack is called but I seen it in a inu music vid so could someone plz tell me what it’s called? Thank u very much)
