Porcelain by Juul
Author's Note: Okay, this is my first ever Inuyasha fanfiction. I hope it isn't too bad, and I'm sorry if it is. I know the plot is probably over-used and all, but this idea just came to me a few nights ago, and I've been too damn lazy to write it down until now. I promise I will make this story different from others like it. Please review, all feedback is appreciated! Sucky summary, I know, I'm not very good at writing those.
Summary: Even the strongest of warriors can be broken, just as easily as glass or porcelain.
Warnings: Well, nothing really, for a while at least. But there will be some very gory fight scenes in the beginning and throughout the story. This story will also involve rape and torture, nothing graphic, though. Any other warnings that I can think of at the moment... well, minor cursing and stuff like that.
Chapter One: The Fight
"Naraku, you son of a bitch!" Inuyasha yelled as he slashed at the demon with the tetsusaiga. "I'll kill you if it's the last thing I ever do! You'll never get all the jewel shards! Never!"
The evil demon moved out of the way of the hanyou's sword and held up a sword of his own. "Foolish half-breed, you can't kill me. No one can kill me." He attempted to strike Inuyasha with the sword, but the half demon was too quick.
Kagome watched Inuyasha duel with Naraku from behind a bush; Kirara, who was injured in a previous battle, and Shippo also hiding with her She carefully positioned an arrow on the bow and aimed at Naraku. "Inuyasha!" she screamed. "Look out!" Inuyasha jumped out the way, smiling, and Naraku turned around to see what Kagome had screamed about. The miko smiled as the arrow struck Naraku in the side, causing him to double over for a moment or two.
Now was his chance. Inuyasha jumped up into the air and jumped onto Naraku's back, shoving him into the cold, hard earth. Inuyasha wasn't even going to use his sword to kill the heartless bastard; he would kill Naraku with his bare hands. Inuyasha spread his claws out and then started tearing at Naraku's back, ripping his kimono to shreds.
Miroku and Sango charged at Naraku at full speed. Miroku wacked him in the skull as hard as he could with his staff, causing blood to slowly seep from the demon's head. Inuyasha stepped off of him and gave him a swift kick in the side before stepping aside to let his friends have a go at beating Naraku senseless.
"Miroku!" yelled Sango, as she pulled the hiraikotsu off of her back. "Move out of my way! He's mine! I'm gonna kill him!" She hurled the oversized boomerang at Naraku, just as he managed to stand up, and of course the impact sent him flying. He nearly landed on Inuyasha, who happily slashed Naraku's shoulder with the tetsusaiga.
Naraku laid still for a few moments. The group watched in silence, until they heard the demon's hideous laughter as he slowly stood up. Before anyone could do anything, he whipped around and grabbed Inuyasha by his throat and pulled him close. "Stupid halfbreed," he snarled, "I'll kill you right now. I think I'll make it quick and painless, too." He was about ready to crush the half-demon's neck, but that was delayed due to Sango coming up behind him and kicking him in the back, Miroku following suit.
Naraku cringed as he lay on the ground. "I know something that will take care of you for a while..." he snapped his fingers and in the blink of an eye, Kohaku was standing in the middle of the destroyed clearing that they were fighting in. "Kohaku, take care of the monk and the taijiya. I'll rid the world of Inuyasha and the miko."
Kohaku threw his blade at Miroku, catching him off guard and managing to make a huge gash in his shoulder. Miroku fell to his knees, clutching the wound. The boy walked towards him and was ready to end him with his katana, but was stopped by one of Kagome's arrows.
Inuyasha, who was still dueling with Naraku, looked over his shoulder for a moment and screamed, "Sango! What the hell are you doing just standing there? I don't give a damn if he's your brother or not! Get him!" Inuyasha was almost struck by Naraku's sword, and retaliated by slashing the evil demon with the tetsusaiga. "Don't give me that look, dammit!" Inuyasha really did feel bad for Sango, having to fight her brother and all, but Kohaku was one of Naraku's mindless puppets now.
Seeing another arrow coming towards him, Kohaku fled the clearing and ran into the forest. Sango remained standing watching everything happening, not sure what to do. "Sango!" screamed Inuyasha, obviously very pissed off, "Chase after him! Get him-- what the hell?" Inuyasha was struck in the side with Naraku's sword.
Sango came to her senses and chased after Kohaku, running as fast as she could. Could she really kill him? She had problems fighting him to begin with, but killing him just wouldn't happen anytime soon. Reluctantly, the taijiya threw the hiraikotsu forward, knocking a few trees in half, revealing another clearing in the forest. The weapon returned to her grasp, and Sango held it over her head, while standing in a battle stance as she scanned the area for any signs of her once sweet, innocent little brother.
Out of nowhere, Sango heard laughter, and evil laughter at that. She looked around, trying to find where it came from. The young woman backed up slowly and bumped into someone. She turned around and saw Naraku standing there. "Naraku!" said Sango. She dropped her weapon and threw her fist at Naraku, hitting him hard enough in the face to bloody his lip.
Naraku just stood there, a sick smile forming on his face. "I won't die so easily, stupid mortal."
"Where is Kohaku? What did you do with my friends?" Sango demanded, backing away from the demon, and quickly picking up the hiraikotsu.
Naraku chuckled. "Oh, they're fine. They're all fine."
Sango heard a noise behind her and spun around to see what it was. When she turned back around, Naraku was gone. "Where are you, you coward?" she asked. "Show yourself, you sick bastard! Fight me!"
All was quiet for a few minutes. Sango would not let her guard down, no matter what. Then she felt something grab her around her throat from behind. Sango slammed her body into Naraku's and knocked him away for the time being. He stumbled backward, watching her every move. The demon slayer rubbed her neck for a split second, then hurled the hiraikotsu at Naraku, hitting him with it, and making him fly into a tree, knocking it in half.
"Come on, Naraku," said Sango, "Quit playing games, dammit!"
Naraku got up and without any warning charged at the woman and unsheathed his sword. Sango acted in response to this, and pulled out her own sword, and held it up just in time. For a while, Sango and Naraku stood in the middle of the clearing, swords interlocked, staring into one another's eyes with pure hatred. Until finally, Naraku got tired of this and swung his foot into Sango's foot, causing her to lose her ground and fall.
The taijiya dropped her weapon, and looked up at Naraku's bloodstained form. Naraku stared back. Sango stood up once more, and ran towards the bastard, jumping up in the air and going to kick him in the face. That attempt failed; Naraku grabbed her by her ankle and threw her to the ground. Sango landed on her stomach, and the wind was knocked out of her lungs for a moment.
"You can't defeat me. Not even 'the great Inuyasha' could defeat me. So in other words, you have no chance, you insignificant little wench," said Naraku. He gave her a kick in the stomach, causing her to roll over on her back. Then Naraku struck her left shoulder with his sword, piercing her flesh, blood spewing everywhere.
Sango let out an earpiercing scream as the blade cut through her shoulder, and coming out the other side. She grabbed the blade with her right hand, and managed to slowly move the blade out of her shoulder, then she stood up, grasping the wound, and glaring daggers at Naraku.
Naraku shook his head and examined his weapon. "Stupid, foolish child. When will you learn when to give up?"
Sango screamed as she ran as fast as she could at Naraku. Naraku slammed his body into hers and then shoved her to the ground, where he proceeded in kicking her until she grabbed him by his ankle and pulled him down. The hellspawn landed right next to Sango, who grabbed a rather large rock and crashed it over his head. She tried to crawl away, but Naraku yanked her backwards by her foot, so that she was positioned under him. Sango kicked him off of her and then slowly stood up. Naraku did, too, a few feet away.
This was surely a match made in hell. The two sworn enemies stood about five feet apart, both covered in blood, ready to fight to the death.
"Well, Naraku," Sango said in a weak voice, "one of us goes, one of us stays. If it don't work out that way, then neither of us stays." The demon slayer spit out an immense amount of blood, then smiled at her opponent.
"You're right about that one," replied Naraku, as he threw his sword at her as if it was a spear, striking her in the side, ripping through her flesh with a sickening noise. Sango screamed and fell backwards, hitting her head on a rock.
She tried with every little ounce of anything she had to get back up and fight, but soon everything went black. Sango had finally stopped fighting, and she lay motionless on the ground, almost completely covered in blood.
Naraku, of course, had plans for this one. He knew very well that the taijiya would never give up, never. But he had ways of fixing that.
