We take you to a barren wasteland, where two demons are engaged in an intense battle. One is Tanaka, a recently transformed demon who is a faithful servant to Naraku. The other, is Taigo, a self-proclaimed demon god whos power seems to be limitless. Taigo has dominated the battle, using a mixture of punishing physical attacks and mental blows that have left Tanaka all but defeated. Now, we go to the highest point of the fight, where Tanaka seems to have finally discovered Taigos weakness...

Taigo dove at Tanaka from above, as a dark aura began to appear around him. "Now, prepare for hell, foolish boy. BONE WEAVER!!!" He shouted, and as he did, two thick bones began to twirl out of his cape. Each was covered in razor sharp spikes. They began to wrap around Tanaka, who was struggling to break free. The spikes dug into his skin, and he started to bleed everywhere. Taigo dropped infront of him, and laughed wickedly. "All that talk of putting me in my place... Has come to this? Im disappointed. I expected more from Narakus strongest follower" He mocked.

"You just wait, im not done yet. I'll show you my true power!" Tanaka said, as a flaming red aura burst from him, destroying the bones. He slashed at Taigo with his claws, as Taigo dodged them easily. Tanaka then took out his sword, and slashed at Taigos neck. Taigo tried jumping to avoid, but his legs were cut deeply in the process. He cursed under his breath, as Tanaka followed. Taigo began to charge up a large sphere of black energy, and fired it at Tanaka, who knocked it away with a swipe of his blade. He slashed at Taigos throat, but the image faded away, and Tanaka suddenly felt a sharp, intense pain in his stomach.

"Fool, leaving yourself open. You're so focused on killing me you forgot I can produce images of myself whenever I wish..." Taigo said, as his blade, dripping blood at the tip pertruded from Tanakas stomach. Tanaka dropped to the ground, and struggled to get back on his feet.

"Theres gotta be some weakness this guy has... Something that can give me the edge... Wait! This guy uses only dark energy... Maybe if I tried light, that'd shake him up! But shit, I never use light either, it'd hurt me just by charging it up... Oh well, only one way to see!" He said to himself, as his started to gather up a sphere of white energy in his palm. Sparks of it flew around, burning his skin. He clenched his fist around it, as it glowed white as well. Taigo dashed at him and was about to strike, when Tanaka turned, and punched Taigo in the stomach with the energy. It exploded on contact, as Taigo was blasted away. He landed in a crumple, with a large, bloody hole in his stomach. "There ya go, fucker. Maybe now your mouth will stay shut..." Tanaka said, smiling. But his smile quickly disappeared, as the hole in Taigos body floated back up. The bleeding hole in him disappeared, and all signs of the wound were gone. Tanakas jaw dropped, as Taigo landed on the ground softly, and laughed.

"Your stupidity astounds me, Tanaka. You think just because you wound me, you won the battle. If that was the case, this battle would have been mine the moment it started..." He said calmly, before a large spike shot from his robe, impaling Tanaka in the stomach. He slammed Tanaka on the ground, before bringing the spike back. Tanaka coughed up blood onto his jacket, before standing up shakily.

"Too bad, I didnt really want to end it now... But you leave me no choice, time for my final assault..." Tanaka said, before he let out a huge scream, and a giant explosion engulfed the entire wasteland. Taigo only had a moment to react, as he brought out a barrier of purple energy. When the explosion cleared, Tanaka was gone, and Taigo was gasping on the ground, barely alive.

"I... underestimated him... He was strong... But not enough..." Taigo muttered, as he crawled to where Tanaka once stood, and picked up two shikon jewel shards out of the sand...
