Chapter 72 - The Pinned * Disintegration* (Stella's Soundtrack Challenge)

"Show yourselves, fools," Sesshoumaru snarled. "You dare attempt to catch this Sesshoumaru off guard?"

The dragons silently cursed their bad luck, but walked out of the shadows. "Off guard or on, it matters not. We will still slaughter you all."

"Over my dead body," Inuyasha said with a roll of his shoulders, the hanyou more than ready for a battle. Not being able to fight with his brother had been getting on his nerves.

"You truly think yourselves to be stronger than this Sesshoumaru?" the taiyoukai taunted.

When Kagome went to rise, ready to string up her bow, Shippo stopped her. "Stay down," he said softly. "Let us protect you." The miko grumbled but did as she was asked. She would stay out of it for now. If, at any point, she thought her friends needed her help she was jumping into the fray.

"Ryokusai, the death of your father by my brother's hand was not enough for you?" Sesshoumaru asked, his tone emotionless, though the slight uptick at the corners of his lips gave away his enjoyment of the situation.

"Oh, that's who this loser is?" Inuyasha said with a laugh. "Kinda wimpy looking. At least your pops was a challenge."

"We will be more than just a challenge," the leader of the dragons, Ryokusai, said arrogantly. "We will be your deaths!"

Without another word, the five dragons flew at the group, swords drawn. The leader went straight for Sesshoumaru. The others tried to as well, but Inuyasha jumped in front of one while Sango and Miroku each claimed their own enemy, and Kirara was busy fending off the smallest dragon. Kagome knelt down beside Shippo, her bow in one hand and arrows in the other, watching the battle. She had never gotten a real chance to watch Sesshoumaru fight before, since she was usually far too focused on Inuyasha’s safety, but this time was different. The taiyoukai wasn't fighting his brother. Instead, they were fighting together.

It didn't take long for the dragons’ leader to sustain several injuries, before he searched the area for his comrades. Seeing two of them engaged in battle with mere humans, he snarled, "Just kill them already!”

Ryokuteki glanced away from the human woman he was fighting for just a moment at the sound of his leader's voice, but it was enough. Sango nailed him in the head with her boomerang. Fighting on the ground wasn't completely foreign to the slayer, but she preferred the aerial advantage of riding Kirara. Still, she would make the most of a bad situation. Seeing her opponent stumble, she dropped her weapon and drew the sword that most often hung unused at her side.

Miroku wasn't doing as well. The monk was being pushed back as he met each swing of a sword with his staff. The dragon youkai's strength was greater than his own, and he soon found himself backed into a thick tree trunk. Ryokuakumu laughed as he speared his sword through the human man's shoulder and into the wood at his back. Miroku screamed in pain and lost his grip on his staff, that clattered to the ground.

Kagome gasped at the sight of her friend pinned against a tree, completely exposed. She watched as the dragon pulled his hand back and cracked his knuckles, studying his claws, which grew longer right before her eyes. She knew she had to do something. Before Shippo could stop her, the miko stood and notched an arrow. She pulled back and aimed, worried that if she missed, she might further injure her friend. The battle continued all around her, and both Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru crossed in front of her as she stared down her arrow at her target.

She looked around once more, taking in everyone's positions, before finally letting it fly. Her reiki-enhanced arrow flew past Sesshoumaru's shoulder so close that he could hear the whoosh as it cut through the air, and he silently gave thanks that her aim had improved over time. There was a scream of pain as Ryokuakumu stared at his side in shock. They hadn't realized there was a miko among Sesshoumaru's companions, Kagome’s clothing not signifying her status. He opened his mouth to warn the others but a scream escaped instead as his body was slowly purified into dust.

In an instant, Kagome had sprinted across the battlefield, skidding to a stop in front of Miroku. "I'm going to try to pull it out," she said before gasping the hilt of the blade that still held him pinned to the tree.

"Do it," the monk breathed in pain.

The miko braced one foot against the tree trunk beside her friend's hip and pulled with all her might. There was a sickening squish sound as the blade came free, and the wound began to bleed in earnest. Miroku slid down the tree, one hand over his aching shoulder, and Kagome knelt at his side. She yanked the scarf she'd still been wearing to ward off the remaining chill and used it to wrap his wound as best she could, helping him hold his arm up so she could tie it off as tightly as possible. He was going to need stitches, and she sure as hell couldn't do that yet.
