Hey guys. I had a problem with one of my Sonic the Hedgehog stories, so it got deleted and I was banned from updating for a few days. That's why I haven't updated for a bit. I know, it sucks. And I worked so hard on that fic too... ; Anyways, onto the next chapter.




Chapter 7: The True Villian




The Reikai Tantei and Inuyasha's group sat around a fire that night. Hiei was leaning against a tree, resting. His stomach was wrapped up, as were his arms and legs. Neomi Nakeshi was among the group, talking to them.

"So, where did you come from? And how do you know Hiei and Kurama?" Kuwabara asked.

"She's an old friend of ours..." Kurama said.

"And I'm of your world, obviously," Neomi added.

"But... how did you get here?" Yusuke asked. His chest was wrapped up under his shirt.

Neomi shrugged. "Eh, I've got my ways..."

"So, you're here to help us defeat Naraku?" Miroku asked.

Neomi gave somewhat of a nod and a shaking of the head. "Sort of."

"What do you mean, 'sort of'? Are you here to defeat Naraku or not?" Inuyasha growled.

"Relax Inuyasha, give her time to explain," Sango said.

The female kitsune blinked. "Well... Naraku is a very powerful demon, I know that. But I can sense that it really isn't Naraku that can go into different dimensions."

"Then who do you think it is?" Kagome asked.

Neomi paused, and thought for a moment. "I'm not sure... but they have some sort of connection to Naraku. And I bet their even stronger than he is..."

"Could it be an incarnation?" Miroku asked.

"It's possible," Kurama answered.

Neomi yawned. "Well, we'll figure all this out tomorrow. For now, I need some rest..."

"Understood. I bet we all do," Kurama said.

Neomi suddenly disappeared in a tree nearby, leaning against the trunk and sleeping. Everyone else got into their comfortable places at slept as well.




-Meanwhile, at Naraku's Palace...-


Naraku sat at a window, staring out at the landscape again. Kagura appeared behind him.

"The incarnation is alive and ready for fighting," the wind sorceress told her master.

"Exellent. Send him in."

Kagura nodded and disappeared into the hallway, and returned a few minutes later with a figure behind her.

The demon had long, straggly black hair that came over his shoulders, and the pupils of his eyes glowed an eerie yellow, while the rest of his eyes were glowing red. He had fangs that hid in his mouth, and only when he was speaking could you see them. He wore no shirt, but only a pair of black pants. His feet were bare as well. His hands were falcon-like claws, and he had pointy wolf ears. He glared right through Kagura and onto Naraku's back.

Naraku got up and turned, approaching Kagura and the demon.

Naraku looked at his first incarnation, and warned, "You should leave, unless you want to die." Kagura immediatly obeyed and left the room.

Naraku walked up to the other demon, who was his own incarnation. Even in front of his master the demon looked blood-thirty enough to kill him.

"Your name is Dianous. And you are my sevant," Naraku introduced.

The demon named Dianous snorted. "I take orders from no one." His voice was deep, calm, and sounded dangerous.

"Unless you want to be destroyed, I suggest you change your ways," Naraku narrowed his eyes at his creation.

Dianous shook his head. "No. I am too powerful to take orders from anyone."

"Oh, we'll see," his master said and approached Dianous, suddenly gripping him by the neck. He lifted Dianous off the ground, the two of them glaring into each other's eyes.

Dianous remained calm. He glared at his creator as if he was nothing but a nuisance, and suddenly vanished from Naraku's grip. Naraku suddenly had a pained and suprised look on his face as Dianous's clawed fingers stabbed through his chest. Dianous removed his claw from the bleeding demon and licked the blood off his hand, acting as if it was satisfying for taste. Naraku reduced to nothingness, and all off his jewel shards clattered to the ground. The palace slowly fell apart, and Dianous hopped out of the castle easily as it crashed to the ground. In his hand, Dianous clutched his deceased master's jewel shards. He opened his palm and looked at the many shards. He then clutched his hand again around the shards and looked up.

Soon, this world will be nothing but corpses and terror, as will those other universes out there...




ACK! Another cliffhanger! *runs from an angry mob of fans* .o; Sorry guys, but I thought that this was a good place to stop. And now, you know who the true demon is!

Also, I got a request from a reviewer that I should make Neomi and Hiei a pair. I always considered it, I have to admit. ^^; However, I just want to get some advice from you fans out there. Just give me some advice about it in your review (that is, IF you review!) Thankies!
