Summary: Inuyasha tracks Kagome and Sesshoumaru to trouble.
Stars started to twinkle in the sky as Inuyasha tracked Kagome’s scent. He stopped, and his blood went cold when her smell stalled in the air. There was a faint trace of it in the road ahead, just as his brother’s, but they were both being overpowered by something else.
He snorted. “Youki combined with dark holy magic,” he said to himself, recognizing the evil energy as similar to Tsubaki’s work from long ago. Not the same because she was dead, but there was definitely a dark miko at work here, as well as other unfamiliar youkai.
He narrowed his eyes down the thin path. If his brother was teaming up with these youkai to kidnap Kagome, Inuyasha promised to cut off all four of his brother’s limbs with Tessaiga the next time he found the bastard, so that he’d never walk again.
Suddenly, Inuyasha sensed it. Something was coming for him at all sides. Could it be the same thing that captured Kagome? Was it one of his brother’s nefarious allies? He readied his sword. He grinned confidently, itching for a challenge like this since Naraku’s reign.
“Come out, you bastards!” Inuyasha hollered, and he heard echoing laughter within the ominous breeze. Inuyasha’s eyes swept the area, waiting for the moment they would show themselves. Then, he’d torture them all until they gave back his Kagome.
Unexpectedly, an impossible power hit him with a crippling force. Inuyasha struggled futilely against it, and his sword promptly fell at his feet.
