Chereads / Inuyasha:The third sword / Chapter 68 - Chapter 68: Henchmen 3

Chapter 68 - Chapter 68: Henchmen 3

The eternal dusk had finally ended, giving way to a beautiful night, or so it had to have happened, since for the few who still remain in the village, it is nothing but a horrible torture.

The demon that was terrorizing this village, seems to have a special taste for acting sadistically and happily enjoys every second of suffering the helpless villagers go through. On one of the highest roofs of the village, stands Kagura who doesn't hide her displeasure with this situation at all and this doesn't seem to please the other demon. 

"Hehehe, it's more fun if you try to hide your thoughts, dear sister."

"Is that even possible?"

"It amazes me how you can say some things and completely think of others. There are so many plans roaming around in your thoughts, though none of them are meant to work out"

Laughing again with a human voice despite his appearance, the demon suddenly stops and with a fluid motion his hand breaks through a wooden wall, then pulls out from inside a woman who is instantly devoured under screams of pain. 

"Damned beast!"

Appearing from high in the sky and letting out a scream of rage, Inuyasha the half-demon makes his appearance on the scene. Inuyasha's downward attack was a complete failure, the demon was incredibly fast for his body size and this misperception seems to work in his favor in this situation. Over the distant roof Kagura seems to want to spring into action, though she is stopped by some strange crescent shaped slashes, causing her to have to jump from that spot. 

*Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom*.

Christopher/Asahiko pov. 

"Hey furball, there might still be people inside!"

I certainly wanted to turn around and show the power of my fists to that tanuki, but the very lucky one is flying along with Sango and Kagome on the yokai cat named Kirara. As I was starting to seriously consider this, leaving everything behind and going to beat up that fake fox Shippo. I notice how Kagura slowly descends, as if the air is stopping her fall and then twists her right hand where a fan is. 

"Even her attacks are an imitation of mine..."

I hit the ceiling with my feet and jumped towards the sky, while letting out a few words in a low voice, I started to notice how the wind cuts Kagura creates are also crescent shaped. Her cuts shattered the house that was under my feet completely and continued for a few more meters before dispersing into wind again.

"Dance of the blades!"

"Moon Form:Full Moon."

With each swing of Kagura's fan, endless wind cuts are created. While waving my fan, dozens of flaming rings form to intercept her slashes. The wind amplifies the fire and within moments this combination of elements becomes uncontrollable, soon causing an explosion to appear on the scene. 

*¡Boooooom!*

The explosion of flames devoured everything in the vicinity, plus the remains were thrown on the nearby houses, although fortunately and as always, my flames do not burn anything I do not want. But the wind created by Kagura was completely different, the wooden walls were cut as if they were made of paper, the roofs were torn off and her pushing force threw us both backwards.

"Another one who is good against flames, what kind of curse must this be... Inuyasha these. Oh hell."

Moving my body slightly to the right, I let Inuyasha's flying body fly past me, before grabbing it with one of my tails and preventing it from crashing into some nearby structure. Finishing these actions, I move another one of my tails and easily stop an incoming purple fist belonging to Naraku's new demon. 

"Hehehehe. Let's see what lurks deep in your thoughts."

Smelling the putrid, bloody and foul stench that emerges from his gaping maw with every word the demon releases, he grabbed the hilt of Cloudy Fang, before launching an upward slash towards his arm. Without my attack being able to nibble at its flesh, a few wind blades fall on the surroundings, causing me to stop my attack and take a few steps backwards in order to avoid Kagura's attack.

"Damn"

"Let go!"

"Get the fuck off me! 

Hearing Inuyasha's clearly angry shouts, she finally snapped him out of silent mode... Yes, she had silenced the very unfortunate during the entire exchange of blows. 

"Sure... There you go!"

"¡Haaaaaaaaa!"

"Inuyasha!"

Silencing Inuyasha and his group again after throwing the former towards Naraku's second demon, I stomp hard on the wooden roof I'm standing on, before shooting off towards Kagura. 

"Did you stop it with your fan?"

"Hump, you should know this is useless."

Obviously I hadn't hit with my full force, but admittedly I hadn't expected the situation where she stopped Clouded Fang with her fan and was still able to speak calmly. It must be a special creation, because I'm pretty sure any normal object would be cut as if it were paper.

"Of course you did... only a few shocks and I could tell your disinterest in this whole situation. You literally didn't even care that there was your ally in range of your attack."

"Then why do you keep doing this?"

It was a naive question, no maybe it was simply a very obvious one. He could simply make time playing cat and mouse with her, maybe throw some punches there, others there to waste time... Yes, those were all correct answers. 

"Umm... Meh, I just find it interesting."

Shrugging my shoulders mentally, as I'm not to fall into thoughts about whether this instinct thing also makes me more aggressive, I start to increase the strength on Cloudy fang and in response from its blade multiple strands of reddish color come out.

"Tsh, damn demons."

"I'm sensing some resentment in there~"

*Boom!!!*

Like a breeze, Kagura's body transforms into wind, causing me to be left without a foothold and resulting in Cloudy Fang colliding with the house below. The energy contained in the sword sent everything in the surroundings, be it the structure of the house or the ground nearby, blowing away, leaving only a completely razed place on which I stand. 

"Wind, huh? Seriously Inuyasha, control your overgrown lizard!" 

Shouting towards the surroundings for Inuyasha to hear me, I gather three of my beautiful tails together and set them ablaze, before striking the chest of the uninvited guest. It flew quite well, almost as if it didn't expect me to hit it in the air and that resulted in it not stiffening the muscles in its body, making it quite weak to my blows.

*Boom.

With the sound of a structure falling in on itself, he watched as the entire house falls on that demon, though it quickly emerges from the weak rubble and waves its monstrously elongated face.

"Because I can't read your thoughts! Because I can't read them! WHY! WHY! WHY!"

"Inuyasha control your lizard who is having a mental breakdown!"

"Talking to someone like you, who wouldn't lose their mind."

"I guess I get her off easy, she just lost her head and not her lo"

Before I could finish talking to Inuyasha and drive the final nail in my words, the idiot dog seems to realize where the conversation is going and tries to slash me with his sword, which he easily avoided. 

"Come back here, finish your words you coward!"

"No, you know what I'm talking about~ birdie~ birdie~"
