Sesshomaru was not happy Naraku had taken it upon himself to torment his little brother and although they often fought they had finally come to an understanding just before Naraku had started this full scaled assault. Now in an attempt to get him to destroy his brother Inu-Yasha Naraku had kidnapped his adopted daughter Rin. A mistake that would prove very costly but he would have to strike soon for now he was incapacitated with his arm almost fully grown back he was forced to focus his full energy on fully regrowing it. Jaken had been the one to lose Rin but not much could be done about that now only to wait and focus on his arm lost in thought he didn't hear Jaken approach him. My lord said the small demon Sesshomaru although slightly perturbed was not shocked yes Jaken he said there is word that the dragon Shadow walks among the people once more does this mean that we are all to die asked Jaken. No Jaken it does not it merely means that Rin has used the small whistle I gave her for you see the dragon Shadow is just a man a human to be more exact but he follows the warrior's code but he does however have a demonic aura it will be nice to see my old friend again.
Rin was in a house with another child he was a boy slightly older than her she was waiting for her father to come and rescue her it was her iron belief that he would do so no one was stronger than her father except maybe uncle Inu-Yasha he wasn't around very often but when he was he always had a gift for her and could make her laugh. What is your name she asked the boy in there with her Kent my name is Kent son of Joe. I'm Rin daughter of Sesshomaru interesting Naraku took the time to kidnap me when I tried to follow my dad and you I wonder if he will try to kidnap Shippo next so they all have to fight each other. Rin do you think you could pick these locks that are on me? I could try.
Naraku was in an almost joyous mood soon the day he had been waiting for would come Inu-Yasha would be his mind slave oh it was almost to perfect to imagine the greatest demon of them all was going to obey his every command he had Sesshomaru's own daughter to enjoy the more earthly pleasures with in a few years anyway but it would be interesting to break the demon slayer and Kikyo's reincarnation he idly wondered how long before they would break. But what to do with the strange young warrior that had somehow appeared within his barrier he was strong very strong indeed instead of just charging the lesser demons Naraku had sent to destroy him but had waited for them it was if he had known they were coming using his bare fists he had destroyed them using massive energy that radiated from his fists he fought all of them taking two sometimes three with a single swing. The blows weren't deadly nor were the purifying but the power in them caused the demons to die instantly. Naraku would have fun eliciting the secret of how he did that from the young man Kanna walked in to the room to stride silently up to Naraku he mirror showing Joe, Inu-Yasha, and Sesshomaru walking towards his castle. Not overly concerned he looked closer at Joe he seemed familiar somehow. Then he looked into the man's eyes and saw only one thing there the one eternal truth death. Naraku felt fear then death's eyes were coming for him. Quickly summoning Kagura he told her go find out what they want.
As Kagura flew towards the small group she could tell this was a suicide mission that Naraku was finally having her killed for her insubordination. When she reached them she was surprised at how the man with the axe just stared at her without any malice or hatred not cold but like a lost relative found again. Come down lassie he called and strangely she felt compelled to do so as she descended from the sky above she began to notice the similarities between the axe man and the young man Naraku had captured both were tall and broad of shoulder as well as massively muscled and had the mark of death stamped upon them. Now where is my son asked Joe two miles from here with the daughter of Sesshomaru in a cabin to the east surrounded by demons. She responded without thinking as they began to walk she felt something growing within her it was painful at first but then comforting and warm. It was a heart by that one act of pure kindness she had grown her own heart it was almost laughable at how she believed that Naraku had controlled her all those years. She followed the group of travelers heading towards the cabin wanting to see the young man again and to hear his voice. As they approached the cabin the demons began to attack but were quickly put down by Kent they just bowed before him and waited for his orders. Joe was impressed his son had taken control without even trying. Joe walked up to Kent ready boy he said ready old man Kent responded and with that Kent changed his clothing became armor much like Joe's and a sword appeared at his side. Rin ran to her father and hugged him and to everyone's surprise Sesshomaru hugged her back. Kent walked up to Kagura kneeled before her and said you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen would you allow me the honor of marrying you he asked. Kagura was taken aback that anyone would want to marry her. I have done evil things she said. True you have but your soul remains untainted you did not want to do those things and you found no joy in them this is why I desire to marry you not for the beauty of your face although it is stunning but for the beauty of your soul. Kagome looked at Inu-Yasha and Sango at Miroku both were smirking Kent had no idea the hell he was in store for. Both however were thinking of how well that was asked and how to ask their own loves to marry them. Joe gave a full smile because like him lent never lied. He wished them both long and happy lives Kagura smiled and said yes I will I will marry you. Now with every one reunited it was time to face Naraku for the final battle. Only one side could win and whoever won would own the world and have the right to live this however did not enter the minds of our heroes no they thought only to stop the evil that was radiating out from Naraku.
Thousands of minor demons had gathered to fight for their lord and master Naraku who had promised them awesome powers if they defeated his enemies little did he know that as soon as the battle was over they would kill him and take all of his powers. Naraku knew that the lesser demons who he had enlisted to help him would all die but that was their purpose for with each of their deaths he would become stronger and stronger until he was invincible and none could stand against him. For now though he had to focus on Kanna and continue to absorb her into his body her lack of a soul made it a little harder than most but not much her lack of resistance more than made up for that. With her defensive powers boosting his own he would be unstoppable but best to make sure that there were no loose ends. Soon the world would be his and he could completely resurrect Kikyo after destroying the reincarnation but not before having some fun with her. It would be a sight to see he would finally take his place as lord over all the universe it wouldn't matter anymore everything would be within his grasp and he would finally be God it was so very sweet. Especially now that he could make the suffering of Kagura last even longer and crueler. The absorption of Kanna was now completed and soon it would all be his.
