As promised here is the fourth of the second part. I really had a good time writing this one. I always loved Setsura and Gitsune and even when some of you would crucify me for what I wrote, well... try to enjoy it anyway.

I do not own Inuyasha, nor bleach, nor Nurarihyon no Mago; and I make no money of this.

Naraku was laughing with a bad pleasure, while Ichigo was trembling of impotence in front of him. Everything around them were been destroyed.

"I'll slaughter you…"

"Even your threats are the same as him now. That stupid dog must behave his manners."

"Shut the hell up…"

Ichigo had his eyes covered by his hair, out of rage. He could recognize, barely, many Youkais with whom he had had shared and lived one night, but they made better his stay on the house of Nurarihyon. That old geezer had been so nice with the two bastards who had destroyed his door. Everyone there had been so nice with them…

Ichigo unsheathed his little Zangetsu with his left hand and waving both words with anger he screamed.

"Getsuga Juujishou!"

A shining attack, in the form of a cross, erupted from the two swords at full speed towards Naraku, who opened his eyes with surprise and took the full attack with his body, exploding in that instant.

"You bastard. You don't deserve to live…" spouted Ichigo.

Around, the impact of the Getsuga Juujishou destroyed the place where Naraku was standing before. The dust and the smoke were not letting him see a thing there, and Ichigo stared to the floor, noticing parts of the body of Naraku scattered all around.

He could still felt the rage. One he never had felt before with the injustice and evil. Was that Naraku? Was that what he brought to his world? Ichigo could not conceive his sadism and cruelty.

"That was… very painful…"

In the crater made by the attack of Ichigo, Naraku was reforming his body in front of him. What was going on? Naraku just did not died.

Before Ichigo could react, Naraku was standing and he formed a transparent sphere around him, and it covered him completely. Then Ichigo saw his own Getsuga rotating around that sphere, conjured somehow by Naraku, and he, smiling as always, threw that Getsuga against Ichigo.

"Shit!"

Ichigo used the Shunpo to evade the path of his own Getsugas, threw in mass by Naraku.

"Take this!"

Inuyasha appeared there, and with Tessaiga, now with the blade of a red colour, attacked Naraku, who was still inside of that luminous sphere. However, a Getsuga intercepted Inuyasha and he rotated in mid-air to dodge it. Inuyasha fell to the ground and got close to Ichigo standing one back to back with the other.

"Talk about massive chaos…"

"What the hell are those half-moons?" said Inuyasha intercepting one with Tessaiga, among the dust and the venom.

"It's my Getsuga Tenshou," replied Ichigo. "I'd threw a stronger attack at him but Naraku returned this."

"Damn it," cursed Inuyasha. "This is powerful enough to wound us seriously."

"What happened to Tessaiga?" asked Ichigo to Inuyasha, while they both were stopping the Getsugas with their swords.

"It's a skill Tessaiga has to destroy the energy fields, but it hasn't work."

"Don't you have another one?"

"There is one that never failed before, but…"

Inuyasha discarded that one immediately. If he used that, it would involve anyone who were not lucky enough to be on its path.

Inuyasha and Ichigo looked at Naraku, still stopping the Getsugas as best as they could.

Setsura was kneeling next to Tsurara, who was embracing herself to Rikuo strongly, despite been the both unconscious. He was not letting her go either. That scene filled with proud the heart of Setsura, to see that her daughter made her way to the heart of the leader of the Nura Clan. Something that she, Setsura, had never did. Not with the First and not with the Second.

Then it had been a good thing to send Tsurara to live in the Main House, and let her living with the people there to be with Rikuo forever. Now Tsurara was an essential part of his Hyakki Yakou and his life.

With all the fights they had in the past against their enemies, somehow they managed to get through, and now, everything was about to be gone, because of that one who was in the destroyed building before them. Nevertheless, the dog-eared Hanyou boy had promised to her and taken the responsibilities to destroy that thing. Without even know him yet, Setsura was sure she could trust him.

"Rikuo-sama!"

"Waka!"

Kurotabou, Kubinashi and Aotabou were running towards them, the first two seriously hurt, with visible burns over their bodies.

"Setsura, what are you doing here?"

"Setsura-san!"

Kejouro had come too, by that street from where they all had appeared.

"Kejouro, did you let the friends of Rikuo-sama in a safe place?" asked Kubinashi, noticing her.

"Yes. But more importantly, Setsura-san. How did you get here?"

"That Hanyou kid brought me here by force when I came to the house."

"Inuyasha?"

"Inu… Inuyasha? That's his name?" asked Setsura, amazed.

"He is Inuyasha."

"That Inuyasha?"

"The same."

Setsura could not believe it. The years had not passed for the old legend who existed before them. In addition, he was just as the Youkais described him. Rough, irreverent and bold. However, she could see that he was trustful and even warm without trying.

Setsura left the unconscious Tsurara and Rikuo in the care of the others and watched at the destroyed structure holding her hands and with a growing fear inside her chest.

"This shit never ends. How many of those things did you threw at that bastard?" was saying Inuyasha.

"One, but he could duplicate it very well."

Inuyasha and Ichigo were still trying to not be hit by the flying Getsugas, whom did not stop coming out from the brilliant sphere of Naraku.

"Do you know a way to getting him out of that sphere?" asked Ichigo.

"He will not get out from that thing. The son of a bitch is a coward."

"You are been boring already. If you keep dodging and blocking your own techniques we will never end this," said Naraku, sounding bored. "Maybe you two need something better?"

The sphere in which Naraku was, shined even more and the beams of the Getsuga Tenshou turning inside converged in the middle of the sphere and in front of Naraku, forming a cross of blue light.

"What about this?"

The Getsuga Juujishou came out at full speed and were so many of them. And while they could hear the laugh of Naraku, Ichigo and Inuyasha stepped back, turned and went out quickly from that building, ready to use any way out to be out of there.

Setsura was standing alone, away from the others who were attending Tsurara and Rikuo. The wind was waving her hair to one side and was taking the miasma with it. The problem was the poison, not so concentred now, but it still would affect every living being it touch. How could they solve that predicament? Besides, soon the human police would appear to see what happened in that neighbourhood.

And the boy was not returning. He was still inside of that building, inside of that hell of miasma, lethal for everyone else. Setsura was praying for his safeness, since despite having met him for little time, she could feel that he was worth her prays.

When, from the building, a rain of brilliant and big crosses of blue light came out, destroying the remaining windows and walls, and on their contact everything exploded. The five Youkais: Setsura, Aotabou, Kejouro, Kubinashi and Kurotabou, reunited with fear around the sleeping Rikuo and Tsurara, trying to protect them of the rain of explosive crosses. By luck, none of those brilliant crosses hit them, but it was a matter of time.

"We must get out of here!"

"Inuyasha hasn't returned yet!" protested Setsura.

"We have not time! If we stay here Rikuo-sama could be hit by one of those things!" exclaimed Kubinashi, trying to carry Rikuo, with Kurotabou at his side.

"But…!"

"Get out of here!"

They could heard the voice of the orange-haired boy, shouting out to them and running towards them at high speed, from among the fog and the purple cloud. Setsura looked worried at the cloud and saw with relief how Inuyasha came out of there too, and he looked alarmed.

"Grab those who you can!"

Ichigo grabbed Kubinashi and Kurotabou by their clothes.

"You! Hang yourselves to them!" yelled Ichigo to Kejouro and Aotabou, who hesitated, but did it when they saw the stare of Ichigo on them.

"Get on my back!" yelled Inuyasha to Setsura, approaching to her and standing, ready to let her climb on his back.

"I told you that I don't like your ton…" started her, happy to see him well.

"NOW!"

"But what about Tsurara and…?"

"I will take them with us, damn it!"

Setsura obeyed him. Inuyasha could feel her, holding his shoulders strongly with both hands, while he grabbed Tsurara and Rikuo by their waists, worried for them and for the Getsugas, who were landing near to him and menacing to blow up Setsura and the kids. With Setsura safe on his back and with the two children on his hands, Inuyasha started to jump out of there while the Getsugas where still coming out among the clouds, and destroying buildings and poles. The cut cables were causing power cuts, since the place was losing its lights on the poles, but the bright light of the Getsugas were illuminating the place with bizarre efficiency.

Ichigo was way ahead of him, making those grabbed by him by their necks to see how manage their landings as they could, with every leap. Inuyasha did it the same, avoiding buildings and debris, which were falling on their way as rain, while the sound was deafening around them.

"Move to your right!"

Setsura screamed on the ears of Inuyasha, and he obeyed her, just in time to dodge a cross who would killed her and the kids. But Inuyasha did not want to lose them. Therefore, he was avoiding those Getsugas thanks to Setsura, who was riding on his back and looking behind from time to time, telling him where to go.

Ichigo was having a bad time trying to keep safe those who he was carrying. With every leap, the height made them giddy, and Ichigo could hear them screaming of panic. And more, every time he descended where he could, he pulled them back to make their landing easier and their unavoidable crashes on the ground more bearable. Ichigo had a good advantage in distance from the building since the Getsugas did not reached him, but he still could hear the sound they did when they were crashing everything around.

"Shit."

"In this street don't live many people," said Kubinashi, wrapped by the neck of his tunic, and with Kejouro hanging herself to him by his waist. "But I am sorry for those who do."

It was true. The rumble and the tremble made those people coming out from their homes and been devoured by the cloud and the debris. Ichigo cursed loud, out of frustration.

Inuyasha was going and coming among the falling debris, since he could not go to the floor anymore, full of dust and more dangerous than the air, where he could barely jump while trying to protect them. Inuyasha was hearing the terrified voices of the people trapped inside the cloud and those heavy concrete pieces. Those Getsuga, which Naraku threw at them so easily, stop coming form that building at last, and now the only visible thing was that dust cloud mixed with the miasma of a while ago.

Inuyasha turned to his left, on the remains of a destroyed building and jumped inside of the rooms of it, walking through the rooms there until he reached the side connected with the street of the other side, miraculously illuminated by the poles who still had power to do so.

He left Tsurara and Rikuo on the floor, next to the things that the people who lived there had left in that room, and Setsura got off from his back slowly.

"You've save them… I will never be able to thank you… never…"

"It doesn't matter. Stay here."

Inuyasha turned and went out the door,

"Are you going back?"

Setsura was following him.

"Yeah. That bastard cannot get away with this. He has done much harm already."

"But what do you think you can do? Did not you see his skills already? You really do believe you could do something against him?"

"I could before, and I will now."

"I will not let you go."

Setsura stoop up on the edge of the destroyed and collapsed floor. She looked at Inuyasha with the defiance glowing on her crimson eyes. Her red eyes faced the golden eyes of Inuyasha and, by little, the golden ones devoured the red ones with their coldness, but Setsura stood her ground.

"Get off my way, woman. It's dangerous."

"I know. That's why I don't want you going there."

"Damn it. I am not talking of it."

Inuyasha was rubbing his head, frustrated, when the part of the floor in which Setsura was standing collapsed with a crack, and she fell with it, screaming with fear.

"That's what I am talking about…" said Inuyasha resigned, going after her and catching her body in mid-air. He landed on a wall without roof and he climbed again, to where they had left.

Setsura was hanging herself to him for her dear life, with her face hidden. She was not letting him go and Inuyasha could feel the coldness in her body. She was a snow woman after all.

"You see? It was dangerous."

"Are you going anyway?" asked Setsura, not showing her face to him.

"I told you already."

"Then, promise me you will return."

Inuyasha stared at her, surprised. However, he smiled at her and pinched her cheek softly with two fingers.

"Of course, silly."

He put her down and she let him go, reluctant. Inuyasha smiled at her, full of himself, and went fast towards the purple cloud.

"You are the silly, boy," said Setsura, even when she knew that Inuyasha could not hear her.

Ichigo left Kubinashi and the others on a street away from the venom and explosions. They did not let him go until he gave them his word that Rikuo would be safe on Inuyasha's hands. Even when Ichigo himself did not know if that would be true.

Knowing what to do next, Ichigo returned to the building, passing for those streets he left before with Kubinashi and the others to save them from a certain death. The building, old basement of that clan called Genkaku was now on the ground. In his way there, Ichigo could see the destruction that Naraku had caused in the middle of Tokyo, and the people, dead or wounded. All with his own technique. That bastard had use Ichigo's Getsuga to sown the terror in the present Tokyo.

Furious as ever, Ichigo quickened his pace and got to the building. But he could not felt Naraku. Only Inuyasha was there, among the debris, going here and there, moving pieces of concrete and making faces when he saw what was under them. Ichigo understood what Inuyasha was doing and helped him with that work, despite the hard it was to search for survivors.

They could not find anyone alive. No one. Not from their Clan nor one from Genkaku. None of those left behind have went out of that unharmed by Naraku's Shouki. Luckily, many Youkai of the Nura house could escaped if someone told them to do it in time. Without saying a word, they keep working a job they knew useless. However, the frustration was menacing to take them if they did it otherwise.

It was dawn when they returned home. Once more, they had to avoid the human police and even the defence forces of Japan, who were not discarding a biologic attack by some twisted group of terrorism. They closed that area and did not let inside the scene of the crime to the journalist nor anyone without uniform. That was why Inuyasha and the others had it hard to go out of there.

Setsura had been so worried about Inuyasha, as she was waiting for his return and not hearing anything from her hidden position, away from the base of Genkaku. She was so happy when she saw him return, walking by the destroyed street, while Ichigo was going ahead. And Setsura, with Inuyasha at her side, carried Tsurara and Rikuo out of that building, since it has not stairways anymore. Tsurara awoke when they were walking a street, having passed the police and military perimeter. After check if her Waka was all right, he awoke too.

"Tsurara…"

"Easy. She is fine," Inuyasha calmed him down, carrying him on his back.

"See now, silly? Your master is fine," said Setsura to Tsurara while she was carrying her on her back too.

"Okaa-sama…"

Tsurara embraced to her mother's back, crying her sadness about what happened just in that night.

Setsura was feeling like crying too, for her friends and comrades who died that night. However, seeing Inuyasha walking in front of her, carrying Rikuo on his back as she was carrying Tsurara, was not letting her. She had to show her strength, even when she did not know why.

They reached Ichigo and the others, who were on a lonely street and away from the fuss of the humans, scared about what had happened. Together they returned to the house, with Kubinashi and the others thanking Inuyasha to no end, to have saved his commandant.

The day after that was long. The kids who received them, worried to see Rikuo, now on his human form, with that many wounds and bruises, did not go to school that day. All of them, humans, Youkais, and Shinigami, reunited that day in the house, now mourning for those who died in combat that night. Rikuo could not forgive himself about that, to have commanded such failure. And Tsurara could only hold him on her lap, while he sobbed on her legs.

"It's better to say nothing yet."

Setsura said that to Inuyasha, who wanted to say Rikuo that he could not do so much with Naraku's superior skills anyway.

Inuyasha and Setsura passed all that day together. A fact that has not escaped the attention of Nurarihyon, Wakana, and everybody in home. Even for Ichigo. But none of them said anything on that matter, since they were busy with reconnaissance trips, which were being delayed due to the presence of the humans in that place. In the local and worldwide news were talking about the biologic attack on a neighbourhood of Tokyo, and the things were taking a shape that Ichigo could not even think as possible. And he was blaming himself, since if he and Inuyasha just would not appeared in that place, then maybe Naraku would not have caused that madness.

For the night, Rikuo was better physically and on his morals, thanks to the care and the attentions of Tsurara, who did not left him alone a moment. Nobody there felt like talking about the matter, nor his friends, nor his subordinates. Only Nurarihyon demanded firmly to know what happened. Rikuo, on his night form, told them about what happened to them and the superiority of Naraku in skills and power.

"And now we don't know where did he go," said Inuyasha, thoughtful, with Setsura at his side, while the both were sitting on the meeting room, not as full as better times.

"He surely used the Meidou to go," said Ichigo. He could not use the word 'escape', since those who escaped were they. Kana did not move either, behind him.

"That bastard knows he's got an edge on concurred sites," said Inuyasha, angrily. "He got us this time."

Everyone there was feeling happy to see that Inuyasha would not use a powerful attack if there were innocents in the crossed fire. Ichigo told them that. That Inuyasha could have used something to destroy the energy field of Naraku, but he restrained for their safety.

"What about his sidekicks?" asked Rikuo. "I remember they were many and I didn't see them escape when the place exploded."

"That's because they didn't escape," answered Ichigo, with his eyes closed by the memory. "Inuyasha and I found them there, but they were dead."

"He sacrificed his helpers?" wondered Kana, watching with fear how Ichigo was nodding.

"Those weren't normal Youkais. They were somewhat different to anything I've seen before," recalled Rikuo.

"So it looks. I don't know why. I think that bastard is making experiments with the Shikon no Tama," said Ichigo. Inuyasha was thinking the same.

"That antique Pearl who can concede wishes?" asked Kana.

"Yes. Besides, Aizen used the Hougyoku to make and evolve hollows before."

"Hougyoku?"

"Yeah. It was something like the Shikon no Tama, but made artificially," explained Ichigo. "Aizen put his hands on it and created many hollows, who grew in power and skills."

"So, Naraku is doing the same now?" asked Nurarihyon.

"Maybe," said Inuyasha. "In the past he used the Pearl to create extensions of himself. Alternatively, to evolve his body into something more dangerous. I would not be surprised if he is using the Pearl on those guys. The thing is known why he is doing that."

They remained silent, wondering about what Naraku could be trying to do with those Youkai he wasted so easily that night.

Yet, it was hard to be silent in such a place where the loudness was a house thing.

Suddenly, the main door, which they could see through the courtyard, opened and standing there, with a black sailor outfit to her calves and long black hair was a pale and beautiful girl. But Inuyasha could not be fooled, since he could say that she was older than anyone in the house.

"Hagoromo Gitsune," Rikuo recognized her.

He got up to receive her, helped by Tsurara, since he was still hobbling a little. Inuyasha and Ichigo remained sit even when everyone there, even the human kids, got up by respect.

"I've heard you make a real fuss with the new clan," said she, approaching to the house and looking at everyone there, and more to Ichigo and Inuyasha. "How rude. Are you not getting up to greet your elder ones?"

"What are you talking about, little one?" replied Inuyasha, raising up and getting close to her to see her well. "You are who are being rude talking to your elder ones."

Inuyasha said that by the appearance that that beautiful and pale Youkai had, of a beautiful girl of no more than fifteen years. Looking at her from head to toe he noticed her breasts and how they oscillated firm and big, when she put her hands on her waist to discuss with him.

"I've never thought to agree with this dog, but he is right," seconded Ichigo, not knowing that she was older than he and Inuyasha together, and standing next to Inuyasha. "You should have more manners."

"There you have it," said Nurarihyon to Gitsune, funny.

"Little brats, you will pay for this," said Gitsune, as her long black hair was waving behind her. Ichigo and Inuyasha felt the threat, but…

"We are sorry, Hagoromo Gitsune-sama!" said Kana, taking strength of somewhere and making Ichigo to bow his head, pushing it with her hand.

"These two are just two idiots!" said Setsura to Gitsune with an accomplice tone, and while she was squeezing Inuyasha's head when she could not make him sit again, just because Inuyasha did not let her.

Setsura did not have a grudge against Gitsune to have caused the death of Yamabuki Otome, from whom Gitsune was using her body and appearance; since it all had been a plot created by Gitsune's son, Abe no Senbei.

Not even when her attributes as Hagoromo Gitsune where more noticeable than the old attributes of Otome-chan, or so Setsura thought as she walked back to her sit again.

"Who are you, strangers? New members?" asked Gitsune to Rikuo, who denied with his head.

"I am the great Inuyasha, and this brat is Ichigo," said Inuyasha, making them all smile, without help.

"You bastard!"

"It's just the truth, don't be ashamed of it."

"I will teach you about who is the brat in here!"

However, nobody there expected that Hagoromo Gitsune started to laugh like wild, so hard, that even Inuyasha looked at her disconcerted, since his intention was never to make her laugh.

"Did I said something fun?"

"You are funny, pup," said Gitsune, wiping away her tears. "In all my years I met countless men and of all kinds, but you are of the most interesting ones," added she, squeezing one of his ears with a hand.

"Don't do that!"

Inuyasha was not the only who screamed. Setsura had raised too and approached to them with an irritated expression.

"He doesn't like that," said Setsura, with conviction.

"Little woman. What could you know?" replied Gitsune with arrogance, getting close to Setsura and showing her chest.

"She's right," said Inuyasha, without noticing the storm that he was conjuring over himself, nor the interesting it looked for everyone else.

"Then, let us see who can satisfy this pup more. I'm challenging you, you daring Yuki Onna!" defied Gitsune to Setsura, while the others, except Inuyasha, opened their mouths in a funny 'o'.

"I'm in, too!" announced Saori, standing up and talking for the first time in a while.

"And I!" joined Natsumi, making Setsura and Gitsune to look at them, incredulous.

"I don't understand… What they are trying to do?" asked Inuyasha to Nurarihyon, who was laughing his guts while Ichigo was holding the brick of his nose with his fingers.

"It's good to see that you are still thinking in have fun," said Rikuo. "But you will do that when we resolve the matter we have on us right now."

"Oh, yeah," said Gitsune, remembering her business there, while Inuyasha and Setsura returned to their places. "I've remembered why I came here," said Gitsune, sitting on a normal chair, right in front of Inuyasha, while the others were sitting on the floor. She crossed her well-turned legs, and used them on purpose to tent the naïve Inuyasha, and he did not noticed anything. Setsura, despite being a Snow Woman, was spouting fire with her mouth, while Tsurara was trying to calm her down, and Ichigo tried and not watch at Gitsune. "I was in touch with the Onmyouji of Kyoto and that Onmyouji girl…"

"Yura?" remembered Rikuo.

"Her. They told me that someone reunited a bunch of Youkais from all the areas of the country, according to the propaganda: to form a new Hyakki Yakou, following a capable and powerful leader. The Clan named itself Genkaku, and their movements had increased as the days went by," explained Gitsune.

"How are you behaving with the Onmyouji?"

"That's beside the point, Rikuo."

Nurarihyon was thinking of the information. Then, that Clan had appeared from long before, and not at the same time with the arriving of Inuyasha and Ichigo.

"How long it started?" asked Nurarihyon to Gitsune.

"Twelve days, more or less," answered Gitsune, bored.

Inuyasha and Ichigo looked at each other. That was the time Naraku and Aizen would have needed to create a plan to gather all the Youkais in the country, Rikuo, and modern weapons? They had not forgot about those weapons that were on the basement they attacked last night.

"Thanks to their work, we have traced the place of their other basement," said Gitsune to everyone. "I guess you will go."

Inuyasha had raised from his site again and approaching to Gitsune, he grabbed her by her shoulders, on her chair.

"Tell us where."

"Magic word?"

"NOW."

"I will guide you," said Gitsune, standing and putting her arms around Inuyasha's neck, and making everyone to fall to the ground, by her strange behaviour, and at how Inuyasha could disarm her so easily. It would be a tiresome trip.

There it was.
