legend of the nephilim

-Defeat-
>
>Kagome closed her eyes as the wind softly blew past her. The last few hours
>had been hard; she had explained the existence of angels and nephilim to
>Inutashio and lord Kouga. Needless to say it was not an easy task. At
>first they flat out did not believe her, even though they saw the
>Oni-tenshi, they believed them only to be some kind of bird demon. In the
>end she had to show them some of her powers to prove them wrong. They were
>also baffled as to why she was undetectable to the oni-tenshi when she
>could detect them just fine. It was then that she explained about her
>pendent and its ability to disguise her aura as that of someone with
>demonic blood.
>
>She had also told Inutashio of her and Inuyasha’s blood connection,
>explaining why she held the scent of an inu demon. In the end the two lords
>had gone to their own chambers to soak in all the baffling information she
>had told them.
>
>Now she was standing on the top of a tower watching the sun set. She was
>worried about the oni-tenshi. She had killed several of them but the one
>had gotten away, but not before swearing vengeance for his fallen comrades.
>Though she was grateful they had given her two days so far to heal, she
>also knew that they would come for her soon and that they wouldn’t take
>storming the northern castle lightly. No, she needed to think of a plan and
>fast, before they caught them all off guard. Right now the demons didn’t
>stand a chance; they were unfamiliar with the oni-tenshi and nephilim, they
>didn’t know their weaknesses, or how to kill them.
>
>She formed a ball of fire in her small palm; angel fire, the only way to
>kill a creature with angelic blood. She was the only one, besides Haru and
>Yukio, that could produce it. Together they could stand their ground for a
>while, but not forever. As if knowing her inner turmoil, Haru and Yukio
>came up behind her.
>
>“How are you feeling Kagome?” asked Yukio.
>
>“I am fine, just thinking of a way to defend the castle for the attack that
>we all know is coming soon,” she said.
>
>“That’s what we came to talk to you about,” said Haru. “We think you should
>escort the two lords from the castle back to the western lands tonight. Let
>us handle the battle here, the lords need to be kept alive, as they will be
>the ones the oni-tenshi come after.”
>
>“And me, I killed some of them, remember?” she stated
>
>“That is why we want you to lead them, with the three people they want gone
>they may retreat and the battle may not be as deadly,” said Yukio gently.
>
>“Yes Kagome, it could save many lives.”
>
>“And it keeps me out of danger during a large battle that you two intend to
>fight on your own. How convenient,” said Kagome.
>
>“Now Kagome don’t take it like…Do you sense that?” asked Yukio
>
>“Yes, it’s getting stronger. There’s ten, no twenty of them, they will be
>here within minutes,” said Haru.
>
>“Yukio, go warn Inutashio and Kouga, Haru and I will stand guard on the
>towers,” commanded Kagome.
>
>Yukio nodded and disappeared into the castle as Haru flew to the west wing.
>Kagome stood her ground, bow and arrow drawn, awaiting the approaching
>battle.

>“Sesshoumaru I am telling you, something is wrong!” yelled Inuyasha as he
>dodged another blow.
>
>“Nonsense, you are simply trying to avoid sparing,” replied Sesshoumaru.
>
>Suddenly Inuyasha doubled over in pain on his left side. Sesshoumaru looked
>on in curiosity as his half brother assumed the fetal position grasping his
>left side.
>
>“Kagome…she has be…been hurt!” he stuttered out.
>
>“What is the matter with you?” asked Miroku
>
>“I am feeling her pain,” he spoke through clenched teeth.
>
>Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes at his younger brother. The only way he could
>sense her pain is through the sharing of blood. Unable to think of the
>possibility that his brother and kagome shared blood, he knelt to look
>Inuyasha in the eyes.
>
>“How is that possible little brother?”
>
>“We…I…” he held out his palm to show the small scar, hoping Sesshoumaru
>would piece together the rest.
>
>“Why?” Asked Miroku looking at the small scar. He remembered seeing one on
>Kagome as well.
>
>“A sibling bond,” said Inuyasha, before another waive of intense pain shook
>him from head to toe “She is in a lot of pain…she is scared…and hurt
>badly…losing lots of blood” and with that Inuyasha passed out.
>
>Sesshoumaru took in his brother's last few words…'she is scared, in pain,
>losing too much blood.' He hoped his father and Kagome were alright.
>
>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

>Inutashio and Kouga had managed to get everyone in the large dinning hall
>safely before the large group of oni-tenshi made it to the castle. Kagome
>then set a barrier along with Haru to prevent them from being seen or
>detected. Once the oni-tenshi believed the castle was vacant they began
>attacking the three nephilim in their mist. They had wounded Yukio and he
>now lay in a pool of his own blood, unable to move. If she didn’t get to
>him soon he would not heal fast enough to make it.
>
>She watched as Haru took to the air to battle the remaining four
>oni-tenshi, she yelled his name as the despicable being that slashed her
>from behind impaled Haru on a long spear, causing him to come crashing to
>the earth below.
>
>She was a few feet away when the one who called himself Isaac landed in
>front of her, the other three surrounding her. She looked at her two fallen
>comrades and knew she didn’t have much time left.
>
>Noticing her distraction, the four oni-tenshi attacked at once, one of them
>effectively sinking their sword into her side. As she stumbled back and
>gripped the handle she realized it was a real sword and not one made of
>angel fire.
>
>She then fell to her knees. Pain overloaded her senses and made it near
>impossible to breath. She managed to pull the sword out of her side and
>weakly held her self up by her hands.
>
>That’s when she felt it, a warm tingling feeling coursing threw her body.
>The next thing she knew the entire court yard was consumed in a bright
>light and then all went black.
>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
>Everyone in the dinning hall watched curiously as the evening sky was
>illuminated by a blinding light, then went black again…black and quiet.
>
>Inutashio and Kouga walked to the court yard and saw Haru and Yukio both
>slowly getting up from the ground. Blood covered them and the two lords
>could see their wounds were nearly healed.
>
>Ash was everywhere blowing lightly in the wind.
>
>They looked farther and saw Kagome on the ground. She was pale,
>unconscious, and surrounded in a pool of her own blood. Inutashio picked
>her up and ran for her room. She had lost too much blood and he could
>barely feel her pulse beating weakly and hear her shallow breathing.
>
>That night, for the first time since he was a pup, lord Inutashio fell to
>his knees and prayed to the Kami’s above, and for the first time in his
>long life, Inutashio felt defeated.
