Hanyo of Snow

Ch26 Vs Raijū Kyōdai

(Y/N POV)

Two hours.

It has been two hours since Manten took Kagome and for us to reach the Raijū Kyōdai's territory.

Raimei Valley.

It was the perfect conditions for raijū, with it being mostly barren rock, massive rocky out croppings, sparse vegetation, high cliffs, treacherous terrain, and a perpetual thundercloud seemed to be hanging over the valley.

The perfect habitat for a pack of raijū, which thankfully we only had to fight two of them.

Any more in our current condition and we would probably be done for.

I mean I can now walk without a crutch now, but I was still feeling quite a bit of pain and Yura was pretty much legless.

A fact that she won't let me forget as she wrapped her arms around and and was pressing herself against. Something that I was trying to ignore.

"So this is Raimei Valley, I expected this place to be less of of a wasteland. Still it will make the perfect graveyard for these raijū." Inuko said, her hand rested on Tessaiga.

"If it comes down to it and I'm afraid it might have to be." I said honestly, dreading about the prospect of actually killing the Raijū Kyōdai.

Despite the fact that I spared Yura after all that she has done, it was mainly out of not wishing to kill her. I know in this era I would have to do it some day, but if there is a chance to settle things without resorting to killing.

However Manten's actions and from what little Yura and Shippō told us about his older sister Hiten along the tha way has only cemented my belief that this time might be the time we're I would possibly take someone's life for the first time.

Something that I was not looking forward to.

"Master?" Yura asked from my shoulder, no doubt feeling me tense up.

And she was no longer pressing herself up to me, thank Amaterasu.

"I'm fine, just steeling myself for the possibility that I might have to end a live today." I said, getting her to nod.

"Probably for the best, can't have you freaking out when it comes time to deliver the final blow and give your opponent a chance to counter attack." Inuko said, getting me to nod.

She did have a final point.

"Speaking of which, Myōga!" Inuko snapped at the elder flew on her shoulder, looking like that he was trying to escape. "Don't you dare try to escape on us as I have a job for you."

"And that is Lady Inuko?" Myōga asked shakily.

"Keep an eye on the kit, don't want him to do anything foolish such as going against Manten." Inuko said, getting Myōga to nod.

"Hey!" Shippō snapped, quickly withering under her stern gaze but not letting up. "I won't even think of doing such a thing, unless one of you guys or Kagome was around."

"Good choice kit, still we need someone to keep an eye on you if you get lost during the flow of battle." Inuko said, getting Shippō to nod in agreement with a little huff.

"As you wish Lady Inuko." Myōga said.

"Alright then, everyone ready?" Inuko asked, grabbing Shippō and getting myself and Yura to nod. "Good then let's get the girl back and show these raijū what happens when you cross us."

"Sounds good to me." I said as Yura pressed herself against me once again.

Inuko jumped up into a nearby rocky outcropping with a screaming Shippō in her arms while Yura carried us up their with her hair.

Hang on Kagome, we are nearly there.

(Kagome POV)

"They are here." Hiten said as she was floating around the thundercloud I was riding on with Manten on what looked like feng hou lun.

I had been mostly silent up til this point as I was right next to the raijū that obviously despised me but couldn't do anything or risk his sister's wrath, being dozens of meters up in the air, and my mind still reeling from Hiten's plans and the fact she was coming on strong to me.

Least I had the satisfaction of causing Manten to flinch with a single glance.

"Then should we get them now?" Manten asked, getting Hiten to shake her head.

"No the terrain where they are at is too rugged for stable footing. Give them a minute to get some stabler ground and then we strike." Hiten said getting her brother to nod.

"And the girl?" He asked with a growl and a glar directed towards me.

Only for me to once again clobber his snout and his sister doing the same thing with the but of her halberd.

"What in Yomi's name Hiten?" He groaned out while clutching his bruised snout.

"You should give Kagome a bit more respect for kicking your ass, also nice punch." Hiten said as she floated towards me.

"Thanks...I think." I said, not really that sure of how to react her complimenting me.

"Well no problem, and don't be so glum. You will be reunited with Y/N soon enough and you will have the rest of the time in the world to be together." Hiten said with a small smile.

While the sentiment was nice, the intent behind it was quite the opposite actually.

"And don't worry, you will still go first." Hiten said, causing me face to turn red.

She was still going on about that.

"Seriously Hiten." Manten said exasperatedly.

"Dead serious, Speaking of which." Hiten said as she gained a blood thirsty grin and her halberd crackled with electricity. "Follow my lead little brother, the fun is about to begin."

With that Hiten launched a bolt of lightning into the distance and I knew that the ensuring battle was about to begin.

(Inuko POV)

A few minutes into the valley and hopping onto a rock spire, they struck.

A massive bolt of lightning raced towards the spot where I previous was. I barely jumped out of the way when the bolt destroyed the rocky spire.

I deposited a terrified Shippō and Myōga onto a nearby spire.

"Stay here, stay out of trouble, don't get yourself killed, and don't do anything stupid." I warned him before jumping down to the valley floor, before Y/N and Yura followed suit.

"You ready for this?" Y/N asked as he drew Shūsui and Yura drew Benigasumi.

"You know it." I replied as I drew Tessaiga.

"Good, because it wouldn't be as fun if my opponents weren't ready for combat." A voice called from above to reveal a tanned woman in armor using feng hou lun with a halberd and a bloodthirsty grin on her face.

"So you are Hiten I take it." I said.

"That's right, glad to see that the daughter of the strongest yokai knows of me." Hiten said.

"Considering that you tried to have me killed by a hive of yokai and your little brother has been a been nothing but a pain I'd figure I would get the name of the bitch I am about to kill." I growled out.

"Well it takes one to know one I suppose." She said with her grin, causing me to growl.

I am going to enjoy killing her.

"If wish to put it like that, let us just skip the formalities then and tell us what you really want." I said leveling Tessaiga at her. "And the answer will be no, as we will not be giving you our jewel shards."

"Actually I can care less about them." Hiten said dismissively, stunning us.

Well that was a new one.

"Nope what I care about is fighting you all and then taking Y/N and having a threesome with him and Kagome." Hiten said, flooring me.

Not again! Seriously first Yura and now her!

"I should have expect something like that from you!" Kagome shouted from up above on a storm cloud, redfaced and being barely held back by a bandaged Manten.

Okay looks like she wanted to murder Hiten.

Now as for our resident psycho...

Benigasumi speed past Hiten, grazing her cheek.

I turned to see a red faced and nervous looking Y/N barely holding back Yura, whose face was lacking any emotion except for one.

The desire to kill.

Okay that makes it three people who wish to murder this bitch. They for that comment and basically the implication she wished for Y/N.

Myself, she has been a major pain in my ass all day, she had jewel shards, and wanted to rape Y/N.

Still there is one thing I was wondering about.

I can understand Y/N, yuki-onna hanyo and all.

But Kagome?

Sure I'll admit she has earned some respect, especially what she did against my bitch of a sister and Manten. But she was rather plain looking for a human.

"Didn't I kill you earlier?" Hiten asked Yura as the later caught Benigasumi. "Also why are you hanging off of him like that?"

"It will take more then a single bolt of lightning to kill me...though it will take awhile to remake the rest of my legs." Yura said emotionlessly, blaring daggers at the raijū. "Also if you are trying to rape Y/N, I wouldn't recommend it. And if you tried anything, I will kill you."

Seems like Yura is staking her claim then.

"Really now. I take it that you tried, yet how are you still alive then?" Hiten asked.

"I was bound to him, but I willingly chose to become his vassal.

Despite what I did to him and the girl, he treats me as an equal instead and is actually worried about my safety.

He is too kind for his own good, believe me I would try again without being bound to him.

But I would like try this route, without getting killed or causing too much trouble.

So if you dare to try anything to him, I will kill you plan and simple. " Yura said emotionlessly once again.

No one moved or said anything after Yura's little spiel, though me and Kagome were at a deadpan while Y/N just sighed at that.

All of us saw that one coming.

"Yura, we are going to have a talk after all of this is done." Y/N sighed out.

"I know." She said, with no regret in her tone.

"Got to say she has guts to admit something like that, though it also gives me a better look at Y/N.

To inspire such loyalty, he should be an interesting lay.

Besides normally I wouldn't resort to rape, but as the promise to conceive a child with raijū and yuki-onna blood is too good of a chance to pass up.

So I will say this once. Forget the jewel shards and come willingly with us Y/N, you'll be reunited Kagome, the rest can go free, and I can get my threesome. So what do you say Y/N?" Hiten said.

"Would you stop that already!" A red faced Kagome shouted as she was held back by an exasperated looking Manten.

"As much as I would like to settle this without resorting to killing each other, I am afraid I will have to turn down your offer." A red faced Y/N said while holding back a murderous looking Yura.

"Well looks like your negotiations failed, so instead I give a counter offer. Give us your jewel shards and the girl and we'll let you two live. Besides I was getting tired of your bullshit anyway." I said, ready to kill this bitch and her brother.

"I was kind of hoping you would say that, now we actually get to fighting then." Hiten said with a bloodthirsty grin. "Manten I'll handle the hanyos, keep Kagome alive and kill anyone else in your way. Except his vassal if necessary, might want me a foursome."

"On it sister Hiten!" Manten called out.

"Well then, let the fighting begin!" Hiten said, rushing towards Y/N at blinding speeds.

She swung her halberd at him and Yura, before I jumped in front of him and struggled for a bit to deflect her weapon.

She was stronger then she looks, I will give Hiten that.

But I've faced stronger!

Putting a bit more force I managed to over power Hiten and pushed her back. I jumped in order to get a good hit it, but she called down a bolt of lightning forcing me back.

"Not a bad start, but let's keep this going!" Hiten declared with a bloodthirsty grin, swinging her halberd and generating an arc of lightning. Forcing the three of us to jump back.

"Y/N, Yura stay back and cover me. I'll handle this bitch!" I shouted to them.

"You sure?" Y/N asked, mist generating off of him.

"Definitely." I said, getting him to nod.

"Alright, then." He said, before turning to Yura and the two of them nodded.

Seems like they got a plan, just hope that it will work.

Hiten speed towards me, swinging her electrified halberd at me and forcing me to block with Tessaiga. Which was difficult concerning her speed.

With each strike, burst after burst of electricity erupted from her weapon and kept forcing me back in order to not get zapped.

This little back and forth between us continued for about another minute, before Hiten grinned.

A bolt of lightning struck right next to me, producing a deafening thunderclap.

I screamed out in pains as I grasped my ringing ears with my free hand, giving Hiten time to swing her halberd and disarm Tessaiga from my shaky grasp. She grinned as she took a jab with her halberd.

Only to recoil in pain as Benigasumi scratched her cheek as it sailed by.

Hiten didn't have that long to react as a volley of ice shards raced towards her. The raijū respond by opening her hand and unleashing a burst of lightning, destroying them.

Only to be blindsided by a smaller volley that came from behind her.

"You alright Inuko?" Y/N asked as appeared beside me, throwing up a small ice barrier just in case.

"I'm fine, that bitch isn't going to be when I get my hands on her." I growled out while picking up Tessaiga.

"Alright then, wait for Master and I take a shot at her then you can attack." Yura said darkly flexing her fingers. "I am going to enjoy this."

Before I could even ask what that was about, I saw it through the barrier.

Behind Hiten were Benigasumi and several of the ice shards that survived the attacks suspended in mid air, by Yura's hairs non the less.

Now this was going to be interesting.

"Sister Hiten, behind you!" Manten called out in an attempt to warn his sister in an attempt to warn her, but it was too late.

With a wave of Yura's hand, the projectiles descended upon the raijū and she barely had time to turn when they struck. Most of the ice shards were destroyed upon impact with her armor, but a few of them and Benigasumi found their mark and managed to leave her with several cuts.

Yura pulled back on of her fingers and waved her other hand, sending Benigasumi back to us and the remaining ice shards back towards Hiten.

Who promptly incinerated them with a lightning bolt.

"Nice moves there, but it is going to take a lot more then that to stop me." Hiten said as she rushed at us.

"Yura are you ready?" Y/N asked Yura as she res her blade.

"Ready whenever you are master." She said, getting Y/N to nod.

"Alright then, Inuko we are going to provide you with a brief opening and probably our best chance of attacking her." He said, getting me to nod.

"So I better take it, well don't worry I will." I said with a grin, tightening my grip on Tessaiga.

"Stop planning and fight me damn it!" Hiten growled out as she covered her halberd in electricity and swung it, discharging it and cutting a swath through the rock and Y/N's barrier once again forcing us back.

"Since you asked, here you go thunder bitch! Oni-Bi Gushi!" Yura shouted, lighting a few of her strands on fire and sent them towards Hiten.

The raijū ducked and weaved through the flaming whips with a bloodthirsty grin while Yura held what I guess was some more hair over Y/N, who looked like he was freezing something over them.

A minute later I saw that he was in fact creating a few small ice hooks which Yura sent away with a flick of her hand and clenching her other one in a fist.

Bunching the flaming hairs around Hiten, who prompty dodged them.

Only to wrapped by Yura's hairs and for the icy hooks to latch on to her scratches, causing her to scream out in pain.

Seeing that was my signal, I rushed at Hiten an aiming to bisect her with Tessaiga.

But it seemed she had the same durability as her brother, if not better if what Y/N said was true as she ripped the hooks out without a wince and charged her halberd with electricity and swung it.

Our weapons clashed and she poured more electricity into her weap9n in an attempt to shock me through Tessaiga.

But I was ready for that.

So with a grin I let go of Tessaiga, drew my claws, and rushed at her.

I caught Hiten off guard and she didn't have time to react when I sank my claws right below her neck.

I didn't get that far into her flesh, when she kicked me off and sent a few bolts of lightning in order to keep me away.

She eventually stopped as she covered one hand with electricity and began to apply it to the wounds I inflicted, sealing them shut.

I took the time to retrieve Tessaiga, and good thing too as Hiten rushed forward to impale me.

I blocked her and managed to push her back.

"I will admit it you got me good, but then again it isn't a fight until someone gets horribly injuried I suppose.

" Hiten laughed with a bloodthirsty grin as she swung her halberd.

"Still I have to admit this is probably one of the better fights I have been in lately, but it could be soo much more.

So come on no more holding back, give me everything you have! "

"If you think that I was holding back then you are insane. This was just the warm up, now it is time for the real fighting and I am going to enjoy taking you down!" I growled out, leveling Tessaiga at the raijū.

"Now that's the spirit, now show me what you got!" Hiten growled before she rushed at me and we once again resumed our clash.

(Kagome POV)

As I watched Hiten flashed with the there and figuring out to how to retaliate against Manten without him doing the same thing and figuring out how to get payback on Hiten, I noticed something on a nearby rock spire.

It was Shippō, and once he climbed to the top he threw a firecracker at us.

Obviously it was meant for Manten, but he just ended up being a little short as it detonated right below us.

But it did alert the raijū to his presence.

"There you are you little brat!" Manten shouted as he charged up his lightning breath.

I saw that as my chance to retaliate against him and pushed him off the cloud.

Manten screamed as he fell down, using his attack as a way to slow himself down. It didn't really work as it just created a crater which he slammed face first into the bottom of.

"Take that!" I called out from above before noticing the thundercloud beneath me was starting to vanish.

I probably should of thought of this better.

I barely resisted the urge to scream as I fell down, noting that I was going to land on Manten if I kept falling at this direction.

Though I should have expected him to get back up.

"That hurt you bit-" Manten tried to say, but was cut off by my knees slamming into his head and getting the both of us to cry out in pain.

That hurt like all Yomi, but at least I was alive.

Manten crashed back down into the ground while I landed softly right next to him, the momentum from my fall transferred into whatever possible headache the raijū is currently suffering from.

Just to rub salt to his wounds I got up and kicked him in his right eye, hard.

I ran while the raijū clutched his injured eye, there was no way I was going to take him on alone after all.

A minute later I crawled out of the crater and ran behind a rock spire as Manten began to release lightning burst after lightning burst all over the place.

Okay I need to find Shippō and lure Manten away from the others, they already had their hands full with Hiten and with him backing her up it will make it that much harder for us to make it out of this alive.

I just need-

My train of thought was immediately derailed as I barely had a chance to survive getting hit by one of the lightning bursts.

And found myself in front of a terry eyed Manten.

Without a single strand of hair on his head.

Oh no.

"I don't care if sister Hiten gets mad at me for killing you, I am going to enjoy sending you to the blackest pits of Yomi!" Manten roared in absolute furry, charging up a lightning burst.

Only for a massive spinning top to land right on his head and drill him into the ground.

Wait if that top was here, then that means Shippō wasn't that far away.

"Kagome come on, that wouldn't hold him for long!" Shippō cried out from nearby behind a tree, with Myōga on his shoulder.

Taking his advice I ran up to them, only for Shippō to hug my leg and start to tear up.

"I'm alright Shippō and glad that you are alright, but we need a place to hide and regroup if we wish to stand a chance against Manten, do you know of a place?" I asked him as the kitsune kit separated himself from me.

As much as I wish that it didn't come down to it, there was no other option besides regrouping with the others. But that would only bring Manten to reinforce his sister.

That I was not comfortable fight her with how strong she seemed, that and I believe that she old continue to flirt with me as a bonus.

"I spotted a small acove from here on Shippō's shoulders. I suggested that we hide in there, but he was adiment in helping you and getting revenge on Manten." Myōga said, getting Shippō to huff at that and me to sigh.

Should have guessed that he do something like that.

"Shippō we need to go their if we wish to stand a chance against him, so can you not resist against us when we go there." I said, getting him to nod. "Alright Myōga, Shippō lead the way."

"Of course." The former said before the later dragged me towards this acove before the sound of cracking lightning sounded of in the distance.

Y/N, Inuko, and regrettingly Yura hold on against Hiten, because soon we are going to defeat Manten once and for all and rejoin you shortly afterwards.

(Y/N POV)

So not only has our attacks are barely slowing Hiten down, but now an enraged Manten is after Kagome and Shippō.

I have faith they can hold their own against him, but for how long I have no clue.

"Yura, do you think that you can go and assist them in a bit." I asked her as I created some more ice shards to use.

The one good thing about this accursed shard in my chest is that it boosts my yoki reserves every time it absorbs a shard, otherwise I would have been been running on fumes at this point with the sheer amount I was producing.

"I am afraid I can not do that Master, it will be unwise for me to leave you in your current state." Yura said, stringing the shards along and launching them at Hiten who was still clashing with Inuko.

Which she promptly incinerated most of them, barely dodging a strike from Inuko.

"And why is that?" I asked, generating more ice shards.

"Simple, while I would be able to provide help to them it would also leave the both of us open Master.

You still can't react as well with those burns and then there's the fact my legs are still missing.

If we split up now it will only open us for attack, meaning we have to stick with each other or else.

" Yura said seriously, getting me to sigh.

I hate admit it, but she has a point.

If the two of us separated we would be easy pickings for either raijū, with me being too slow to react to Hiten's attacks and Yura's body being subseptiable to their lightning.

Kagome, Shippō I am sorry to admit it, but the two of you are on your own for now.

"Plus it is not like I was going to let you two leave anyway!" Hiten shouted out, breaking away from her clash with Inuko and rushing towards us at breakneck speeds.

Shit.

Yura let lose the ice shards as I erected an ice barrier in order to by us time.

Which we needed as Hiten blitzed passed the shards.

Taking extra measures I generated a cloud of mist and Yura pulled us back, clutching one of her hands into a fist.

Judging by the grunt of pain and the sound of lightning obliterating anything in it's path Hiten destroyed the barrier and was at least scratched by one of the ice shards.

Still now we need to-

I was broken from my thoughts and let out a high pitched gasp.

Please tell me that was Yura!

"Nice and firm, but with a hint of softness. That might just be the yuki-onna blood though." Hiten said, as she let go of my ass.

I turned bright red, covered my fist in a chunk of ice, and slammed it into Hiten. This sent her flying, with Benigasumi scratching her arm for additional damage.

I turned to face Yura, who was red with embarrassment and anger as well.

"She got you too?" I asked.

"Yes." Yura growled out angrily.

No wonder she didn't respond earlier.

"Sorry about that, just couldn't resist after all. Needed to see how it was before we do it later and you do not disappoint Y/N. Also couldn't resist your vassal, she is stacked." Hiten said sultrily, getting us to turn even redder. "Do you think she would be interested in a foursome?"

Is this is what Kagome had gone through? She is coming onto us really, really strongly.

"Is sex and fighting all you keep talking about?" Yura snapped out, embarrassedly.

"That, a good meal, good sake, and my family. But enough about me, let's get back to fighting!" Hiten shouted as she charged at us with her halberd.

Both me and Yura shared a look and covered the area in mist.

Hiten needed to pay, and we just needed a minute to set it up.

"Smart move Y/N, but it is not going to last long against me!" Hiten shouted before unleashing lightning bolts at random in an attempt to strike us.

Thankfully she didn't hit us with it, but her attacks did by us enough time.

"Ready Yura?" I asked her, creating ice claws over one hand and holding Shūsui in the other hand.

"Ready Master." Yura said with a grin, her fingers twitching in anticipation.

"Found you!" Hiten roared as she lunged at us with her halberd.

She had flown right into our trap.

I dispelled the mist to reveal outer whole surrounding ground area was covered in ice shards, which with Yura pulling her hands back activated it.

Ice shard after ice shard was launched at Hiten, stopping her attack and forcing her to go on the defensive. Launching bolt after bolt of lightning in order to destroy them.

This worked against most of them, but quite a few shards got in and managed to scratch her.

We were whittling her down bit by bit, with the two of us slowly approached Hiten as it looked like she was starting to get a little exhausted.

Eventually we ran out of shard to use, but the trap worked and Hiten was slightly winded and distracted.

Not noticing me slamming the blunt side of Shūsui into her until it was too late.

It sent the raijū sprawling to the ground, but she shot back up and rushed at us with her halberd crackling with electricity and a bloodthirsty grin.

We barely dodged her attack and I took a swing with the ice claws. Which she promptly dodged and lunged with her halberd.

Which Yura yanked out of her hands.

Using that moment myself and Yura slashed her with the ice claws and Benigasumi, managing to cut her pretty badly

Hiten tried to unleash a burst of lightning from her hand, but I grabbed onto her arm with the ice claws and morphed them into a makeshift brace over her hand, causing her attack to only destroy the brace and dealing some backlash to her.

Me and Yura tried to slash her with our blades, but Hiten summoned a lightning bolt between us to cover her tracks.

The two of us were on guard, waiting for Hiten to strike.

When she did, we didn't expect her halberd to rise up and the blunt end of it to swat the two of us apart.

Hiten soon reappeared and pinned me down to the ground, catching the halberd in her hand.

"Got to say that trap really got my blood pumping, if you had the intent to kill me I probably would have been severely injured or probably killed.

But you are lacking that and in the end it failed.

Still good effort though, I hope you are able to preform about as admirably in bed later. " She said slutirly.

Oh dear Amaterasu, someone get me away from her!

"Get off of him you bitch!" Inuko shouted as she rushed over, trying to slash Hiten with Tessaiga.

The raijū in question speed off me and was ready to strike again, when she grunted out pain as Benigasumi cut into her thigh.

"And the next time you so much as lay a finger on Master again, I will kill you." Yura said coldly as she moved back next to me, catching her blade.

"Thanks you two." I said, relieved that they were here.

"Think nothing of it master, it is my duty as your vassal after all. That and making sure that bitch is dead by the end of this." Yura said, getting Inuko to nod.

"Couldn't have said it better myself, speaking of which that wasn't a bad plan Y/N.

But for now just stick to the back with Yura and continue to cover me if needed.

Can't have the two of you wasting all of your energy Incase she tries anything else.

" Inuko said, getting me to reluctantly nod in agreement.

I had probably used a bit too much yoki in that trap in order to make the ice shards sharp and hard enough to deal some damage to Hiten.

Still I had plenty left and that wasn't going to deter me at all and form the looks of it Yura felt the same way.

"Well that is touching, but how about we get back to the fighting. By blood hasn't boiled for a fight like this in ages and I prefer to keep this going." Hiten said, training her halberd at Inuko.

"Couldn't agree with you more, you bitch. But how about we finish this up, I'm tired of seeing you trying and failing to seduce people." Inuko growled out with a smirk, getting Hiten's eye to twitch.

"It does not!" Hiten snapped.

"Well then take your own advice, stop flirting, and fight me." Inuko said.

Hiten growled and speed towards Inuko, their weapons clashed and their fight restarting once again.

As this was going on, I was hoping that Kagome and Shippō were having better luck against Manten then we were having against Hiten.

(Kagome POV - A few minutes earlier)

"Is this everything?" I asked Shippō as he sat across from me, the sound of lightning hitting rock in the distance. A good indicator that Manten was still after us.

In front of us Shippō had laid out everything that he had of mine on him. I was surprised at first, but considering what I had seen him do with other objects I figured he used some kind kitsune magic to store them.

Four arrows, the lighter, the camping knife, and a badly damaged bow.

I could possibly make a few shots with it before it broke.

"Everything that you used to fight Manten, the rest of these were destroyed. Everything else is with Y/N's stuff outside of the valley." He said, getting me to nod.

Can't have it getting destroyed after all.

Still without the bug spray and the bow going to snap sooner or later there was little that I could actively use against Manten and be able to injure him.

Much less kill him if it comes to that.

"Well unless you have a plan, then I don't think we have much of a chance against him." I said to the kit.

"Well I do have a plan, I will act as bait for Manten and get a opening for you to kill him." Shippō said stunning both myself and Myōga.

"Shippō why would you say something like that? If this goes wrong this could end badly for." I said to him.

"Kagome's right, one mistake and it could kill you." Myōga chimed in seriously.

"I know that, that is why I am asking you this. After everything you and Y/N did for me earlier, you two are the only ones I can trust with this and if anything goes wrong then I believe you know what to do." Shippō said, his voice filled with conviction.

From the looks of it, he is not going to back down no matter what myself or Myōga are going to say.

So there is one thing that needs to be done.

"Myōga as soon as we leave here, go get help. We might fail, or we might succeed in holding off Manten. But killing him by ourselves, out of the question. We are going to need help if we wish to bring him down." I said, figuring that there was a good chance that we would be needing it.

It took myself, Shippō, and Y/N to hold him off and we nearly won. But considering that it was just two of us now, the chances of us making it out alive and killing Manten were slim.

"So you wish for me to go get Lady Inuko or anyone else? That I can do." The old flea said while nodding.

"Good now if this idea is to work, then we need something that can actually hurt Manten. Shippō do you have any ideas?" I asked him.

Shippō looked a little stumped for a moment, resting his fist against his face as he began to think of a solution.

I had to restrain myself from glomming the kitsune from how adorable he looked in that position.

"I think I have a few things." Shippō said before removing a few things for his kimono.

It was then I saw something and a plan came to mind, one that could actually work.

"Shippō do you have any rope?" I asked him, getting the kit to nod as he pulled out a small bit of rope.

"I guess you have a plan then?" He asked, getting me to nod.

"Of course and you are going to love it, just help me tie these together." I said pointing to the objects in question, getting him to grin as he realized what I was planning.

"This is going to be amazing!" Shippō shouted as he went to work, getting me to chuckle at his enthusiasm.

Still no matter if this plan works or not, or if it is by our plan or not I did know one thing.

By the end of today, Manten will fall.

(Chapter 26 end)

Hey guys Mukuro7 here and I hoped that you enjoyed this chapter.

Anyway this chapter had been split in half for time constraints as I have a few other things to work on, but I can promise you all that I will have it done before the month is done or within the first week of December depending on how things go.

Anyway two things before we move onto the end.

First off I got two suggestions to the harem. Unlike all the rest...they are from a different source, FGO specifically.

Normally I wouldn't consider it, but these options were tempting to say the least. A certain oni and a certain motherly yandere.

Can't make up my mind and I have a vague idea for placement. So I will leave it to you guys for a decision.

Secondly it is just a little warning, shit is going to hit the fan in the next chapter and the chapter after that big time. Thought I would let you guys know.

Anyway until next time, ciao!
