Chapter 9: Fight to protect.
"You damn Baka let everyone go I'm the one you're looking for!" Hikari coughed standing up.
"Please… what fun would that be?" Daisuke disappeared and reappeared behind Hikari.
"Of course if you were not playing hard to get, then just maybe I wouldn't do this, but I never play fair." Daisuke laughed.
"Get away from her!" Zen shouted running towards Daisuke.
"Please, is that the best you can do?" He laughed holding out his hand.
Zen fell to his knees grabbing his head.
'Zen stay out of it, this is between me and Hikari.'
'But I-I don't want her to get hurt.'
"Don't worry I wouldn't hurt her… to much."
"Stop it!" Hikari shouted ramming Daisuke in the back.
"Damn wench." Daisuke snarled standing up.
"Zen are you ok?" She asked helping him up.
"Yeah I'm fine, don't worry about me." He replied.
"LOOK OUT!" Hikari exclaimed pushing Zen to the ground and covering him.
Daisuke's nails hit her back, two of the four scratches started to bleed.
'I can't fight in here; I have to get him out.' Hikari thought standing up.
Hikari started running towards the wall; she jumped and caught herself on the window.
'Thank god.' She thought getting up.
"I bet you can't catch me!" She smirked.
Daisuke chased after her.
"How do we get out of here?" Tricia asked worried.
"Everyone get out of the way!" Rokuro shouted.
Everybody did what they were told. Zen started running towards the door.
'I'm not going to let her get hurt; I'll do what ever it takes to protect her.' He thought round kicking the doors. They flew open. He quickly ran out and to the front of the front entrance. Rokuro tried to follow but Tricia grabbed his wrist.
"Wait don't go." She said.
"I have to, I have to help Hikari!" Rokuro replied.
"But why?" Tricia asked.
"We could never be together any ways I'm not from here." Rokuro said.
Tricia loosened her grip and Rokuro's hand slipped away.
Zen was running as fast as he could, but he ran in to someone on the side walk. "Sorry." He apologized standing up. "Mom … Dad, what are you doing home so early?" He asked.
Rokuro stopped behind him. "Zen what's the hold up?" Rokuro whispered.
"Mom, Dad I really can't talk right now, I have to return something to Hikari." Zen stated trying to get around his parents. "Who's your friend?" His mother asked.
"Name's Rokuro. I'm… Hikari's cousin, Sorry for having to just introduce myself and run but Zen and I have to help my cousin with something." Rokuro answered pushing Zen.
"It's no trouble at all, nice to meet you." Anko laughed.
"You too bye." Rokuro shouted as they ran.
Hikari ran threw the nearly deserted streets. She could sense Daisuke getting closer.
'I have to get to the shrine and go to the feudal era. I can't fight him here, it'll be too risky.' She thought running up the steps. Hikari ran to the bone eaters well. Lucky enough she left her sword by the well. She grabbed it and jumped in a flash of blue light engulfed her. Daisuke disappeared into the well.
"Well… so you decided to fight?" Daisuke sighed taking a feather.
It shape-shifted into a sword. Their blades clashed.
"What a shame, and all I wanted to do was talk." Daisuke smirked pushing harder.
"Every time we talk you either annoy me or you insult me!" Hikari replied.
Their blades parted and they jumped apart.
"Well… what if I like you?" Daisuke questioned blocking every attack that Hikari threw at him.
"Right, like anyone would be interested in me." Hikari laughed sarcastically, breathing slightly heavier than before.
Daisuke's nails started to glow. He swung his hand and sharp beads flew at Hikari. Two brushed her checks one hit her calf and the last two missed.
Zen just got out of the well and he saw Hikari fall to one knee.
"HIKARI!" He shouted running towards her.
'Damn idiot, I really don't want to do this.' Daisuke thought swiping his hand threw the air and shards went flying towards him.
Zen's eyes widened when Hikari appeared in front of him and took the blow.
"Hikari … why?" He asked quietly.
She looked up at him "I don't want you to die… and I will sacrifice my life to protect my friends and family." She answered giving him a slight laugh.
"Hikari I think you and Zen need to talk… I'll get rid for Daisuke." Rokuro stated running towards Daisuke.
"How did you get here?" She asked.
"You forgot something at the dance so Rokuro and I used it to get here." Zen replied.
Hikari turned around to see Rokuro trying his hardest to fight Daisuke, but he was losing. She put her sword back in its sheath and handed to Zen.
"Why are you giving me your sword?" He questioned taking her katana. "I can't just let you stand here with nothing to protect your self with." Hikari stated.
Kagome came out of the well.
"Mom what are you doing here!" Hikari asked.
"Look out!" Kagome shouted.
Hikari turned around and was kicked in the stomach. She kneeled on the ground gasping for air.
"Sorry to disappoint you but sending that demon slayer to try and fight me was a pretty pitiful attempt to stop me." Daisuke laughed closing his eyes. "Why do you protect everyone?" Daisuke questioned lifting Hikari up off the ground.
"Why do you like me?" She questioned back with a spiteful growl.
Daisuke pined her to a tree, with his hand around her throat.
"Leave my daughter alone!" Kagome shouted shooting a beam of her miko powers at Daisuke.
He threw a feather. It collided with Kagome's attack and exploded. He appeared in front of her and back handed her "Stay out of this you damn wench." Daisuke spat.
"Mrs. Tama are you okay?" Zen asked running over to her.
Daisuke reappeared in front of Hikari "Now to answer your question, remember when I said I like it when you play hard to get? Well that's what you're doing and you never back down, no matter how tough the opponent is. That is why I like you." He replied coming inches away from her. Daisuke placed a hand on Hikari's shoulder. "Leave me alone!" Hikari shouted trying to get free.
Daisuke lifted Hikari's face and kissed her. Her eyes squinted shut as his lips pressed down on hers. She felt him smirk against her lips as he pulled away.
"I would kill you if I weren't in this situation." Hikari snarled glaring at Daisuke.
Daisuke's smirk faded as he looked over his right shoulder. "What, now your going to try and fight me?" He asked turning around.
"You ever touch Hikari again and I'll kill you." Zen growled holding Hikari's blade up to Daisuke's throat.
"You're not dating her, so what does it matter to you?" Daisuke questioned with a smirk as he disappeared.
Zen dropped the katana and helped Hikari.
"Thank you for sticking up for me…" Hikari mumbled.
"Come on… let's go home." Zen stated putting Hikari's arm over his shoulder.
A small cat with two tails ran over to Rokuro. "Kyo…" Rokuro muttered.
Kyo transformed and Kagome helped Rokuro up.
"Mom, can you go with Rokuro? Zen and I will catch up." Hikari stated.
Kagome nodded with a small smile. "Be careful you two." Kagome stated getting on Kyo.
"So do you want to come with me or do you want to go home?" She questioned.
"I want to come with you but… my parents just got home..." Zen sighed.
"I'll take you home… so… you can talk with your parents." Hikari replied with disappointment in her voice.
"Ow…" She muttered slapping her neck.
"No mercy for an old flea."
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to." She apologized. "Who are you?"
"My name is Mioga, you must be Kagome and Master Inuyasha's daughter." the flea answered.
"Yeah that's me, but how did you know that?" Hikari asked.
"Your blood tastes more like your father's blood then your brother." Mioga replied.
"Do you know where they are, because I'm kind of looking for them?" Hikari said sitting down on the well.
"Unfortunately I do not know their current where about." Mioga replied. Hikari sighed.
"I don't think I introduced my self, my name is Hikari and this is my friend Zen." Hikari stated.
"I know my father is a half-demon but how long have you been serving my family?" She questioned. "Oh I've been here for a very long time, I even served you grandfather the great dog demon." Mioga answered.
"If you're looking for my Mom I can take you to her." Hikari muttered standing up.
She walked over and grabbed her sword.
"Totosai forged that sword, from believe it or not your Uncle's fang… Lord Sesshomaru." Mioga stated jumping up and down.
Hikari placed it back into its sheath "Come on… hop on." Hikari sighed.
"What for?" Zen asked.
"No offence but you can't run as fast as I can, and it will be eraser and faster for me to carry you." She replied.
Zen sighed in defeat and got on Hikari's back. She started running.
"You are just as reckless as your father!" Mioga shouted hanging onto Hikari's shirt.
"I'll take that as a complement!" She laughed.
About half a mile left to go her legs started to hurt.
"Hikari stop your legs are bleeding, from the cuts that you got during the fight!" Zen shouted trying to get his legs out of Hikari's grip.
"No… we're almost there." She muttered.
About 5 minuets later they were a few feet away from Rokuro's house.
"Okay now I'll walk." she stuttered letting Zen get off her back. They got to the porch and took off there shoes. Hikari opened the door.
"Hey mom there's someone…" She trailed off and fell to her knees.
