Chapter 29: High Hopes
"I-I know, Nankinmai, I just-I-he." Kagome just couldn't find the words she wanted to say, Nankinmai's expression softened and she shook her head, "Kago, trust me, that man is hard to kill---and get rid of, he'll come back and stick to you like a fly to honey and THAT my friend is an understatement." Nankinmai smiled as Kago returned a half smile, "Now come on we need to find an exit the others will be waiting for us."
With that Kagome nodded in agreement as Nankinmai started to run, Kagome lingered for only a moment, whispering unspoken words to her hanyou. Then she too ran---a brighter future was coming her way. She was sure of it.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Inu-Yasha snorted as he knew Kagome and his cousin was heading out of this mansion. Although his thoughts where with Kagome, his honey-yellow orbs stared upon the face that plagued Kagome for so long. "I'm sure---that I can defeat you in that small amount of time and get out alive." Inu-Yasha said slowly as his claws raked back and forth in a gesture for Naraku to come at him. "Besides, I have a promise to keep and I always keep my promises."
Naraku only stared at the hanyou like he was a fool, but five minutes seemed like a good amount of time. "Indeed, but this one I do not think you can keep." Naraku raised his gun at the hanyou and then pulled the trigger indolently. But the bullet never hit its intended target as suddenly Naraku felt a piercing pain in the left side of his face.
The cause was Inu-Yasha, who had moved out of the path of the gun and came up and cuffed Naraku upside the face, full force, with his demonic fist. "Correction." Inu-Yasha stated with a matter-of-fact tone.
Naraku went sailing back into the wall to his right, the gun flying out of his hand at the same time. His crash was a 6 out of 10, it was a little to rough, for the wall pretty much was no longer a wall.
Inu-Yasha grinned, "Come on, you want me and you got me." He said in his cocky way and gave Naraku a fanged smile as Naraku ascended from the rubble, his hair and attire covered in dust. Naraku growled at the hanyou. "And so shall I put you to your bloody grave!" Naraku snarled as Inu continued his cocky fanged grin. "Bring it on, you'll find me far more of a challenge then Kagome or anyone else for that matter."
Naraku rushed at Inu-Yasha and jabbed to the left as Inu dodged to the right and in turn aimed for Naraku's skull with his foot, but missed as he ducked away. Naraku easily grabbed hold of Inu-Yasha by the ankle and threw him over his shoulder and slamming him into the ground, face first. "Your over-confident you know that?"
He then brought his leg into a downward thrust, heel first, to slam into the back of the hanyou, but Inu rebounded quickly and Naraku's heel crashed into the ground, creating a minor crater. Naraku growled and created the Shouki, a cloud of purple/black like fog formed around him and covered the hallway and Inu-Yasha blinked in confusion as the smoke consumed them. But in truth it was not smoke but an acidy fog that soon ate away at Inu's shirt and stun his flesh as it ate at it. Quickly he jumped back away from the treacherous fog as his shirt rotted away.
His skin was burned and in some spots, bleeding in others, the ends of his long silver hair where decayed and falling away. He growled, but before he could say a thing, Naraku emerged from the Shouki and rammed Inu-Yasha in the gut with his elbow. Sending Yasha into the nearest wall and breaking through it and ending up in another hallway.
He coughed as the dust from breaking though the wall dried his throat out as he took a breath of air that was soon knocked out of him when Naraku landed a kick into his gut. Inu-Yasha let out a cry and then gritted his teeth as he then pitched Naraku off him and into the floor. Yasha quickly rolled to his feet and rushed at Naraku as the evil hanyou got to his feet.
Naraku had little time to react as Inu-Yasha's claws stabbed into his shoulder and lifted him up into the air and then being slung into the wall like a large bouncy ball. Naraku let out a grunt as he hit the wall, blood smearing the walls a crimson color as he slid down. But quickly he regained his footing and barely dodged the fist of the inu hanyou that was aiming for his face.
Inu-Yasha growled upset hat he had missed his target as Naraku cleaned the crimson liquid from the corner of his mouth with the back of his fist. Naraku only smiled, "Thinking of Kagome?" he asked as Inu-Yasha's hair literally began to rise from the back of his muscular neck like a cat's when it hisses at an intruder. "You bastard!"
Naraku glanced to his right and saw the gun sparkling in the dim light and he made a lunge for it! Only to b stopped by Inu-yasha who beat him to the punch and kicked the gun away from him. The Inu-Yasha looked down upon the evil hanyou with cold eyes. Naraku smirked and decided to push a few buttons to see what would happen.
"You know, she had the most satisfying scream." He stated as Inu-Yasha's honey orbs narrowed and his gaze became a bloodthirsty gaze. "Yes, indeed, she even whimpers like a beatin' dog, begging for her pathetic life as if--- ." Inu-Yasha cut him off as he grabbed his little neck in a chokehold. "Shut up you slimy piece of kuso!"
"Your emotions are your downfall." He snickered as Inu-Yasha tightened his grip around his neck. "Temper, temper." Naraku stated and then before Inu- Yasha could recover from her rage, Naraku pouched the hanyou full force in the head. Causing him to release the evil hanyou and stumble away. Then Naraku rushed forward and bashed Inu-Yasha across the head with both of his hands clasp together to form on large fist.
Inu-Yasha slammed into the cold floor with a grunt, Naraku only grinned as he then proceeded to kick the hanyou in the sides over and over, making the hanyou grunt and spit blood out. But that ended quickly as Inu-Yasha jerked Naraku's legs from under him and then pounced upon him when he hit the ground.
But at that same time as Inu-Yasha's features changed and his eyes gone to a blood red with cobalt pupils. The mansion had only 30 seconds before it would explode.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Kagome and Nankinmai had come to a dead end, Kagome wasn't doing well, she was becoming dizzy from the loss of blood. Her side was killing her, "N- Nankinmai . . . I-I- don't think-"
"-Then don't, your going to be fine!" she stated as suddenly the mansion began to shake violently, "Oh Kami!" she yelled as Kagome's eyes went wide with fear. "Inu-Yasha . . . Inu-Yasha!!" Kagome yelled as she turned to run to where she had left Inu-Yasha but Nankinmai grabbed her arm and dragged her down the shaking halls. "We have to find a way out of here." She yelled and then as if on queue a large stain glass window of a bloody rose stood before them. Nankinmai, without saying a word, grabbed Kagome and then busted through the window.
Thank Kami they where on the first floor! The two girls hit the ground and rolled as the glass fell about them, cutting their flesh. As they came to a stop, Nanny and Leeta ran up to them. "Kagome!!" they cried and rushed to help them up, but as they did so the mansion suddenly exploded!
All four hit the deck to cover themselves from the debris that came at them. The sound of glass crushing onto the cement and wood hitting the ground made them sit up and they all stared at the burning mansion. No one said anything.
Kagome just sat there in shock as Shippo, Kirara and Sessho-maru emerged from a place unknown. "Dear Kami!" Kirara stated as Kagome stood up, but Kirara was staring at the once elegant mansion that was now on fire and half destroyed.
Kagome could not believe it, "No . . . he promise . . . he promised ME!!" she started in a whisper that rose to a yell and she ran towards the fiery building. "Inu-Yasha!!!" she cried as tears came down her eyes and a pair of strong arms held her back, though as much as she struggled she could not get loose.
Sessho-maru held her back with an emotionless expression upon his face as he watched the building burn. Soon in the distance sirens could be heard and the gathering of people that had seen the exploitation had rushed to the place from where ever they where.
"INU-YASHA!!!!!!"
