He’d rather die first.
The Miasma suddenly surrounding him actually woke him from a slumber. He should have been expecting an attack, yes, but truth-be-told he wasn’t. if anything, he thought Inuyasha would come for him the same day for an altercation after what happened with Kikyo. When he didn’t, Hiten let his guard down a little foolishly. All this while he completely forgot about Naraku and his threat. Still, even as he awoke knowing he was under attack, he didn’t put it together.
When Hiten came outside, his braid was loose and his abdomen was bare from everything but his recent battle scars. Kikyo left quite a few scorch marks, but none were as damaging as the open gash on his shoulder. He’d deemed it broken and was still waiting for it to heal. With no armor, what use was bothering to cover it? What impeccable timing, Naraku. Raigekijin rested over his able shoulder and a faint smirk graced his lips.
“A pity that every man I fight in this place is going to be because of the harm done to a woman who can’t fight her own battles.”
His tone is exhausted. He wasn’t ready for battle, especially not with this thick toxin in the air; it was starting to get to his wound. Still, his eyes remained locked on Naraku’s, waiting for his next move.

"I would say the miko did quite well for a human woman, would you not agree?" he said quietly, several tendrils sprouting out of his back. "I shall make this quick. You will be relieved of your embarrassment soon enough." Without wasting another world, no less than six spiked tendrils shot out of Naraku's back, forking outwards, the razor-sharp, jagged spikes aiming to impale Hiten from all sides.

His fist held tightly to Raigekijin even though he knew there was no way he could wield it, not right now with all these- - things going through him, but his body did begin to glow. A light blue color. Angry? Of course. But for the first time in his life, there was nothing Hiten could do to show or express the common emotion. He didn’t like it, and he wanted not to care, but it wasn’t in his nature. He didn’t even know who this guy was, which brought him some humor.
“I’m going to tell you…the best part of her coming here.” A strained voice he barely recognized as his own escaped his lips. He was sporting his usual malicious grin, but hardly fighting the tendrils that had pierced him. He scoffed a little, though it was more of an attempt to regain his breath. “The feel of her soft, delicate - neck in my palm…waiting to hear the bones crunch.”
The puddle of his own blood at his feet was probably enough to drown him, and he was trying to summon all his energy for one pitiful attack. He had already been to hell, and he knew he was only going back. What did he have to lose?

Hiten would then feel his insides being drained. Naraku was going to absorb him from the inside out. Whoever heard Kikyo's warning, now was your chance to save him before Naraku finished him off.

The solid, deadly pale form of Hiraikotsu hurtled through the air. The nearly six foot long boomerang sped to cut mercilessly through the tentacles, leaving them--and possibly Hiten--to fall to the ground.
Sango caught the weapon upon its faithful return, sweeping by on the back of a transformed Kirara.

If he was lucky, maybe he'd be able to bring down both Hiten AND Naraku today.
"Eat this! WIND SCAR!" The attack shot out of his blade, heading in both Naraku and Hiten's direction.

When Naraku raised his sword to perform the Wind Scar, Naraku quickly floating to the left, leaving only Hiten in way of the attack. "A demon slayer coming to save a demon. How quaint," Naraku chided, disappointed that he now had to fight them instead of absorbing Hiten. He'd then summon more miasma, hoping to obscure the battlefield in a thick fog. Naraku knew he was outnumbered, but he wasn't without his own advantages.

Priorities. Hiten had them.
Rather than get out of the way of the Wind Scar, which was virtually impossible, he stood on his knees and used an attack on Raijekijin with an arm that almost seemed beyond his control. Weak? Yes. Very. But he couldn’t move so he wouldn’t try. He wanted the hanyou’s blood, not Naraku’s. Naraku wasn’t his prey and clearly had other enemies to worry about. So he did all he could to keep himself standing on his knees, glowing still, and unleashed a fair amount of lightening from his mouth in Inuyasha’s direction. It was even weaker than Raijekijin’s attack and left him to collapse to the ground completely. Was he immobile?
“You fucking wench.” He scoffed under his breath, sensing Kikyo through the dissipating miasma.

Then all of a sudden Kikyo arrived and Hiten got up and she cursed under her breath, grip tightening on the boomerang in her hand. But the blast was weak and she knew it; if she had to, she would utilize her paralysis poisons on the thunder brother, but it seemed as if he'd exhausted herself.
"Kikyo-sama!" She gritted her teeth in frustration. Kikyo wasn't supposed to be here, Hiten wasn't supposed to be interfering, this wasn't supposed to be happening in the first place. And yet it was. "Stay back--!"

Kikyou's sudden appearance caught Inuyasha completely off guard. He had been fully prepared to go through the miasma and take both demons head on, but now he had more important things to worry about besides those two.
"K-Kikyou! What the hell are you doin' here?!"
Reply
The hanyou lowered himself to the ground, making note of Hiten's pitiful display of lightning. It was almost certainly going to miss, if it even reached its intended target. "This no longer concerns you, Kikyo. Leave."

But you asked for help.
She wanted to point it out--but she knew it would just make things worse for the miko. So her eyes fell to Inuyasha, who would make the call.
Who always made the calls, when it came to Kikyo.
And she marveled a little that one woman held the power to keep two of the most powerful creatures she knew in check, with words alone.

Dodging away from the pitiful attack, Inuyasha was able to look back at Kikyou. He was vaguely aware of the eyes watching him, waiting for his next move, but he didn't care.
"I don't get it...Don't tell me you came here just to stop the fight!"
His eyes shot back over to where Naraku stood. What on Earth was going on here?

He could not believe Kikyo actually managed to make him leave like this. He would need to discuss this further with her later.
