Domesticating Dog Demons

Inuyasha lay on the ground. Sango trying to stop the bleeding that flowed from his gaping hole in his stomach. She had Kagome’s medical supplies, but only knew what some of the stuff was for. Others she was completely confused about.

Inuyasha’s breathing became heavier by the second. As if breathing that had once been such an easy thing to do was becoming the most painful thing to do. His normally sharp eyesight was becoming blurrier. He heard Sango and Miroku calling him, telling him something, but he couldn’t understand them. Their voices sounded like someone trying to talk over a rushing waterfall. But, he did hear a very loud footstep. He slowly struggled to get up. He rubbed his eyes, trying to get his old eyesight back. He regained some of it, only to be surprised at what was in front of him. A demon stood a few inches taller than him where the old demon had once stood.

“Hello Inuyasha. I see you have gotten past my defenses. I must congratulate you on a job well done. Now one has gotten past Umeko except you. If you haven’t figured it out now, I am Raidon. Though you have survived you fight with Umeko with only battle wounds, you shall from my battle. Stand up you worthless half-breed.” (A/N: You thought Umeko was Raidon and it was all over, nope no way!)

“Shut-up!” Inuyasha grabbed on to Miroku heaving himself up. He spread his feet apart and took his defensive stance. He wobbled a bit as he tried to get his aching muscle to quit trembling. More blood poured from his wound. He could lose consciousness at any moment. Knowing that that could not only be danger for him, but for his companions as well. If he had trouble fighting Umeko, he knew that Sango and Miroku wouldn’t stand a chance against Raidon.

Raidon charged at him. Inuyasha tried to dodge it, but he got slashed on the side of his leg by Raidon’s claws. Blood began to seep through his hakama. His haori was a deeper red than it normally was.

Raidon kept attacking Inuyasha. Inuyasha tried to move with him, with no success. Inuyasha feet were knocked out form underneath him. He hit the ground hard. His blood began to form in a puddle around him. Raidon backed up and began to make an attack. (A/N: You know how Inuyasha charges up Tetsusaiga for the Wind Scar or another attack. Yeah that’s what Raidon is doing.)

As he brought the sword down, Inuyasha found the strength to move, barely missing the deadly attack. He jumped far away from Raidon. Then it hit him. He felt Tetsusaiga pulse. He didn’t know this feeling. Inuyasha held Tetsusaiga waist length and he pointed it to Raidon. It pulsed again. An electric aura began to form around Tetsusaiga, crackling and snapping dangerously. A silver mist joined it.

“GinRaikou!” (A/N: Silver Lightning) A single silver beam shot out from Tetsusaiga. It became thicker and thicker. It started to take shape of a giant demon dog. The giant demon dog charged towards Raidon. It opened its mouth and bit into Raidon. Raidon screamed in pain as the dog ripped him to shreds.

After the demon dog knew that Raidon was dead, it faded away. Inuyasha, his last energy spent, fell forward to the ground. Sango and Miroku rushed forward. Sango began to unskillfully tend to Inuyasha’s wounds.

Kagome’s worst wounds had healed considerably. She was now able to move around freely in her room. She had not seen Naraku since her last beating. She couldn’t complain though. Sesshomaru was getting big and was starting to try to crawl around. He stuck to Kagome like glue. Never wanting to leave her side. If he did, he cried hysterically. A maid had brought a basket she could put on her back to carry Sesshomaru when she had to do her servant duty.

She was eating her dinner, when one of Naraku’s other maids walked into her room.

“Kagome, Lord Naraku wants to see you in his room. He sent me to take care of Sesshomaru.” Kagome could tell the maid was nervous about taking Sesshomaru. Kagome hoped Sesshomaru would give her hell. As soon as Sesshomaru heard the maid talk, he began to cry. As if knowing his ‘mother’ was leaving him. The maid went to comfort him, but he began to kick and cry harder. Kagome picked him up and soothed him. She gave him to the maid and quickly left the room. She knew the longer she stayed the worse Sesshomaru would be.

She knocked on Naraku’s door. She heard his voice call ‘enter’. Kagome opened the door and something cold hit her face hard, rendering her unconscious.

The rest of the gang, waited a week until deciding to head back to Kaede's. Inuyasha's wounds had somewhat healed. The group knew that Kaede could help Inuyasha get better. They also wanted to see if Kaede could help them find Kagome. When they got there, though Kaede was talking to her palm. Myouga sat quietly telling her of the latest rumors he had heard.
"Aah, Master Inuyasha. I had heard about you getting injured, but I didn't think it was this bad."
"Come here, Inuyasha, I will tend ye wounds." Kaede said.
Inuyasha laid down, having Kaede tending his wounds, while listening to Myouga talk.
"So Myouga, what have you heard lately?" Sango asked.
"I heard that Master Inuyasha saw Lord InuTaisho. Did you Master Inuyasha?"
"Keh." Was his response.
"I also heard you fought Raidon and gained a new power. What is it?"
"It's GinRaikou." Miroku spoke up.
"Silver Lightning." Myouga said, as if testing it on his tongue.
The group talked for a couple more hours before going to sleep.
