Chapter 2 – Heartache and Preparation
Chapter 2 – Heartache and Preparation
Naraku looked around the forest's edge, searching for any sign of where his enemy had gone. They had disappeared faster than he had expected them to. If they are planning something, I had best be prepared for anything and everything.
He looked over to Miroku who was mourning over the death of Sango. Perhaps the monk can play a part in the demise of his friends.
Naraku cut off part of his body. Slowly, from the mass of tentacles, a body started to form. There was a bright blue light and the sight afterwards was phenomenal. There was a tall woman with sky blue hair and very pale skin. Her beauty was that of the heavens as she gazed upon the world with dark violet eyes. She wore a lotus-decorated kimono that was cut off at her waist except for one part that went down to her ankles on her left side. There was a katana at her side as well as a belt filled with many strings. She was a demon puppet master.
"Tikone, go to the monk and put him under your control. We can use him for Inuyasha's utter demise."
"Yes master." Her voice was monotone and yet, songlike at the same time.
Tikone walked over to Miroku and stood until he acknowledged her presence. He looked up with his violet eyes full of tears and many had already fallen, giving him a look of complete defeat.
"What do you want?" He asked, knowing this 'woman' in front of him was Naraku's incarnation.
"I want you," she said, trying to seduce the monk so she wouldn't have to force him into her control.
Miroku turned his gaze back to his beloved Sango. "Go away."
Tikone lost it at this point and pulled one of her string out from her belt. "Never."
Kirara suddenly reared from behind Tikone and bit down hard on the back of her neck and at the same time, Shippo appeared between Miroku and Tikone and launched his attack at her. "Kitsune bi!" He screamed at the top of his lungs.
The demon screamed in pain at both attacks. She was wincing when she heard Naraku's voice in her head. 'Either you defeat these two worthless demons, or I will end your life.' She forced her eyes open and started to think on her feet. She took the hand Shippo was burning and punched the little kitsune. At the same time, she took her other hand to her blade and brought it up over her shoulder to where Kirara was.
Shippo went flying and he was knocked unconscious by a tree. Kirara was stabbed in the shoulder and fell over, transforming back into her kitten self and blacking out from extreme pain and blood loss.
"Now for you, monk," Tikone said, turning back to where Miroku was. She was shocked when she saw him standing up.
Miroku's bangs were covering his eyes as his voice went dangerously low. "Why are you doing this?" He looked up and Tikone actually took a step back from the fierceness resonating from the monk's eyes.
Tikone tried to get her body to move but something about the hurt and depression in the monk's eyes was like an icy wind, freezing everything in its path.
Miroku spoke up once again. "Why did you do this? WHY ARE YOU KILLING ALL OF THE PEOPLE THAT I KNOW AND LOVE?"
Tikone regained her senses at Miroku's cries. "I didn't do anything to them, well, unless you want to count the kitsune and the two-tail. Otherwise, Naraku was the one who did it all. Therefore, you have no reason to burn all your hatred on me when the real murderer is right behind me."
Miroku thought about it for a moment and then shrugged. "I don't care which being it is, as long as it's in front of me with the blood of my friends on it, I will kill it at all costs." He grabbed the rosary beads on his arm. "The end is here for you Tikone! WIND TUNNEL!" He ripped the beads off and unleashed his most powerful attack.
Naraku smirked. "It's about time monk." He threw a saimyoushou hive in front of himself and prepared for the monk to seal off his hand.
Miroku saw the poisonous wasps and that was when he surprised everyone who was alive or awake. He kept his wind tunnel open.

Inuyasha put Kagome on to his back, preparing to run to the battle. "Are you ready wench?" he asked for the fiftieth time.
Kagome sighed. "Inuyasha, will you please stop asking me the same question. Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Kirara are all waiting for us."
Inuyasha nodded and then turned and took off at full blast. Sango wasn't looking to good before we left. I hope she pulled through.
When they were about ten feet from the edge of the forest, Inuyasha put Kagome down and turned to face the miko. "You'd better not die on me again wench."
Kagome smiled and then held up her half of the jewel. "Unless I choose to die willingly, I am not going anywhere."
Inuyasha keh'd and then turned back to the edge of the forest. His demonic blood had resigned long ago and now he would be able to wield tessaiga with ease. Naraku, your days are coming to an end, I promise you that.
