As Inuyasha and I were about to spar we sensed a powerful demon headed towards us.

We both turn and I hold Shapeshifter level with my eyes in a samurai like pose. Inuyasha held the Tetsaiga on his shoulder as we prepared to fight off whatever was headed our way. It was a large snake-like demon that had a couple of jewel shards and was surrounded by poisonous insects. I grinned at Inuyasha and said "you ready?"

He replied, "I was born ready" with that we both leaped into the air and launched ourselves at the demon that roared and swung its tail at us knocking me back into a tree and Inuyasha into the ground. We both got back up and attacked myself starting to spin like a top my tails creating an illusion masking where my body was all that was seen was my blade poking in and out from different positions.

As I connected with the snake-like demon, Inuyasha used the wind scar and it hit the demon knocking him out of the air. I dove after it and used the wind scar directly at it from less than two feet away. As the demon and I landed I struck a pose putting Shapeshifter at my side and bowed in a mock salute to the dead demon.

I grin at my new friends and allies. "I normally fight alone so I appreciate the help." Inuyasha landed next to me and nodded "same here." With that I faced him.

"Still wanna spar Inuyasha?"

"You're on Draemon."

He jumped at me and swung the Tetsaiga so fast I barely had time to get my blade up to block. Then I quickly retaliated with a backswing of Shapeshifter which he blocked. It went on like that for a while then I started to sense the balance shifting as I turned in a circle adding momentum to my next swing. I connected with Inuyasha's sword sending him flying into a tree leaving a slight imprint. I quickly run after him and used the wind scar towards him he then retaliated with the backlash wave.

I was tore up pretty badly, but I was far from beaten and I jumped towards him leaving a trail of my blood behind me as I refused to be beaten. I swung at him and our blades met in a clash of sparks. We were trying to overpower the other by sheer strength and we were evenly matched. Then I reached into the core of my being and summoned a black fire to surround him. Before it met him he jumped up and away as the flames died out.

I was nowhere to be seen. I appeared behind Inuyasha and attacked him with Lunos and Solos. He spun around knocking one into a harmless path and the other he barely managed to dodge. In my eyes burned a black fire, betraying my joy of battle. "You cannot win against me Inuyasha. Give up now and save yourself." As I said this I threw fire from both blades and it converged into one large spiral of black and white flames. Inuyasha was engulfed in the flames and was burned horribly. He barely had the strength to get back up.

Kagome stepped in and shouted "ENOUGH!" Inuyasha and I looked at her and both collapsed at the same time from our wounds and exhaustion. I silently healed myself with my magic then I stood up and offered to heal Inuyasha. He accepted and then we returned to the village. "I am sorry Inuyasha. I often lose myself in battle. Especially if I have a strong opponent. And you are definitely worthy of that title." I offered him my hand and he took and shook it. "You're one hell of a warrior yourself Draemon." I grinned.

It was well after dark when we returned to the village. I shifted to my dragon form and laid down outside the hut under the stars. The little fox demon came up to me and asked if he could snuggle against my side. I smiled warmly and laid a wing over him. "Thank you, young Shippo."

Meanwhile, off in a different area a castle was shrouded in poisonous miasma and shielded from others by a very powerful demon named Naraku. "Well Well Well, I would love to have seen how that would have ended."
