Disclaimer: I do not and will never own Inuyasha *sob*
Hello! Please forgive the really, really late update on anything. I have had a horrible past year and have been in and out of hospital and court, so please bare with me while i get back in the swing of writing again! I hope this new story will be enough for you to forgive me! Without further due, i give you Final Battle, New beginnings!
The sky was dark and menacing. Large black clouds covered the once blue sky, blocking the suns rays from touching the earth. Every so often a loud rumbling could be heard and a quick flash of lightening was seen. The air was thick and foggy, so much you could reach out and grab a handful if you so wished to. Yet the group of fighters thought nothing of it. To them, it was the usual setting they were faced with whenever they had managed to locate a certain hanyou's hideout. The day had finally come. The day when everything would depend of the out come of this final battle. The group of friends were all prepared to fight to the death, and they would be damned if the evil beast they were after survived.
Within the group was the houshi, Miroku, who's life depended on the death of the dark hanyou, for in his right hand was a void, a wind tunnel so to say, that could suck anything and everything in its path should it be allowed and that would eventually suck him in as well.
"Be careful, he's near." warned Miroku "Like usual he is toying with us."
Beside him stood the determined taijiya, Sango, who had every right in destroying the monster who had slaughtered her village along with her friends and family. But to top it off, the dark hanyou had taken her younger brother as a slave, keeping him in the world of the living by the use of a sacred jewel shard.
"Right." she replied, giving a curt nod "Stay close you guys."
Along side the tragic girl, was her faithful companion, Kirara, a yokai cat that was currently in her battle form which appeared to be more like a sabor toothed tiger, but with two tails instead of one. Then, not far in front, was the ever temperamental hanyou, Inuyasha, who sought the evil hanyou for the death of his first love, as well as using him in a twisted plan to gain control of the Shikon jewel. In his clawed hands was the mighty sword, Tetsusaiga. The fang like blade held above the ground in a position ready to attack. His lips curled back as a deep throaty growl was released.
"Kuso....Where is he?!"
A ways away from the angry hanyou, was the full wolf yokai, Koga, who was bent on the destruction of the beast's servant for annihilating his pack and attempted murder on those that were left and who he held close to his heart. Of those, was the futuristic miko, Kagome, that was standing closely to the hanyou of their group. Although she had not lost anyone personally, she was always targeted by the evil hanyou for being the reincarnation of the miko, Kikyo, as well as having the power to see the Shikon fragments and was often captured in an attempt at ending her life, as she was nothing more than a nuisance to the dark and twisted monster. More than once had he almost succeeded in ridding the world of the miko girl, but she had always managed to survive. And what the monster did not count on happening was that with each near death experience she got stronger and stronger in her powers until the barrier inside her that kept her powers locked up was destroyed, letting them run wild through her veins. She was overflowing with it and was itching to release it and disintegrate the hanyou into purified dust particles. With an arrow notched in her bow, she was ready for whatever trick the hanyou had up his sleeve this time.
"It's here. I feel the Shikon Jewel." Kagome stated, raising her bow slightly "Inuyasha, he's so close..."
As if on cue, a crash of thunder rumbled through the sky, while a flash of lightning illuminated everything in an eerie white glow. There standing on the other side of the battle field was him. The vile hanyou, Naraku, draped in his baboon pelt with his purple barrier shining menacingly around him. On either side stood a servant. On his right was the wind witch, Kagura, her fan closed as it tapped almost in a bored manner against her chin. Her ruby eyes shining with excitement at the chance of a decent fight. On his left was a pale looking child, Hakudoshi, with light lavender eyes and a lighter shade for hair. In his hands was a large pike thats blade was almost as large as the beastly child. With his signature smirk on his lips, the hanyou raised an arm, then opened his hand so that his palm faced the warriors. In an instant a large mass of yokai descended from the black clouds above, all roaring and screeching calling out for the blood of the group. But it was expected and the group set to work destroying the feeble attack that was made against them.
The taijiya hurled her mighty boomerang bone, slicing the heads off of many yokai in just one sweep while the houshi was throwing sutras and using his staff to defend himself. The large cat yokai was clawing and biting those that attempted to cause harm to her master. Near by, the wolf yokai was using his brute strength and speed to detach the mindless beings from this world. A mixture of yellow and pink light flashed, the sign that the hanyou of their group was unleashing one of his many attacks while the miko girl was shooting her purifying arrows. The flocks of yokai were nothing, and within minutes were destroyed. Still in the same position, the dark hanyou, inclined his head and spoke to his female servant. Heaving a bored sigh, she stepped forward. Flicking her wrist expertly she opened her fan. Smiling wickedly down at the rag-tag group, she lifted the fan above her head, only to bring it down in a flash. Dozens of arc shaped wind blades charged towards the group. Not wasting time, the wind witch twirled her fan once more and slashed the air in front of her. This time large tendrils of wind came crashing down from the sky, appearing more like tornadoes. As each touched the ground, they left craters and sent debris flying every where.
"Kuso!" growled Inuyasha as he carried Kagome away "Daijoubu?" he asked as he set her back on her feet.
But she did not have a chance to answer. Inuyasha's ears flicked to the side. Kagura was making another attack. Turning abruptly, the hanyou swung the Tetsusaiga, releasing the 'Kaze no Kizu'. Kagura's eyes widened slightly then let out an annoyed hiss.
"That zasshu almost hit me!" she screamed within her mind, only to break from her thoughts when something bellowed her name.
"Kagura! You vile ama!" Koga snarled, racing forward, his claws outstretched "I will avenge my comrades!"
The wind witch sniggered. Closing her fan, she plucked a small feather from her hair and threw in into the air. The feather grew and in a whirlwind the demoness was gone. Yelling into the sky at the retreating form, Koga took chase leaving the battle field in hopes of catching Kagura and sending her into the afterlife. Kagura stifled a laugh as she lead the wolf yokai away. The baka had no idea it was all part of Naraku's plan, and he was playing right into it.
"Well done, Kagura." said a voice inside her mind "Now keep him away. But do not kill him. I wish to see the look on his face when he returns.." and with that, Naraku's deep husky voice faded from her thoughts.
Meanwhile Miroku, Sango and Kirara were dealing with Naraku's second detachment. Appearance wise, Hakudoshi was a small child, but in power and strength they couldn't be more wrong. Miroku was battling the boy in hand-to-hand combat. Pike against staff, and so far both were at equal strength, though the houshi knew the yokai was only toying around. Gathering as much strength as he could muster, the houshi charged forward and slapped a sutra on Hakudoshi's forehead. The creation snarled in pain as the spiritual powers ate its way through his skin. Leaping back, Miroku watched as the yokai child clawed its face to remove the paper that was causing so much pain. Then the sounds stopped and in its place was a dark and sinister chuckle. The trio watched as the sutra fell lifelessly onto the floor. The mark where it had been was now fully healed and Hakudoshi had a signature 'Naraku' smirk on his pale lips. Growing angry, the taijiya threw her Hiraikotsu and watched as the child merely deflected it with a purple shinning orb.
"Pfffft! Is that the best you've got, houshi? And you, taijiya, if you continue to fight like this, you'll never get your brother back." he jeered, making her blood boil.
"Why you...!!" she yelled, throwing her weapon for a second time.
Humoring the girl, Hakudoshi let down the barrier. Moving slightly to the side, he smirked as the Hiraikotsu whizzed past his head. Sango seethed then inwardly grinned as the boomerang typed weapon came back. She almost screamed in delight as the giant boomerang sliced the child in half. Sango beamed as she caught her weapon, and shot a large smile to her companion, Miroku. But the houshi did not return the smile, nor the gaze. In fact he was staring at the yokai child that was floating above them. Hakudoshi's face contorted in extreme anger as his body healed itself, and in a fit of rage he lunged forward, pike in hand towards the taijiya.
"Sango!!" Miroku yelled as he ran to her aid.
"Stay out of this, zasshu!" snarled the yokai child, sending a ball of demonic power at him.
Clasping the small handle on her Hiraikotsu, Sango swung at the pike as it came crashing down at her. The contact caused a loud clang and sparks flew of both weapons. Pale lavender met dark brown in a death glare. Neither would give up until the other was dead. Already sweat was collecting on her brow and her muscles were aching. If she continued to fight at this pace, she was sure she would collapse of exhaustion. Digging her feet into the soil, Sango pushed harder against Hakudoshi's pike. In a moment of weakness, her foot slipped giving the yokai child the advantage he needed.
"She'ne!" Hakudoshi cried, pushing harder against the taijiya sending her flying backwards.
"Sango!" the houshi bellowed, landing behind her to soften the blow.
Kirara gave a feral roar and charged forward, fangs bared. Hakudoshi grinned and raised his barrier. The cat yokai crashed face first into the barrier, but it did not stop her attack. Again and again she lunged forward, crashing her head into the barrier, but it made no difference. The purple wall of light was solid and was not coming down.
"Awww does the kitty wish to play?" he jeered "Well i tire of your boring games. How about we make this a little more interesting, hmm?" raising his hands to the sky, he summoned hundreds of yokai "Let the games begin!" he cried, his grin growing.
Well how was that for a first chapter? What do you think of it so far people?! Please reveiw!
