It was terrible! The battlefield was marred with craters and deep gashes from Inuyasha's attacks. There were also wounds in the grass from Sango, Miroku, and Kagome. Kouga had joined the battle, and so had Sesshomaru and Kikyou. There had been totosai, and Myogao, though Myoga did little more than cheer Master Inuyasha on. In the end, even Kagura and Kohaku had turned on their master.
Yes, This had been the battlefield where the final stand had been taken against Naraku.
"Ku ku ku!" The evil on laughed as at last the final enemy fell to her knees in exhaustion.
Naraku stepped forward and took the last jewel shard from around Kagome's neck. "Now you shall all behold the my power!" He screeched with joy as he batted away Kagome's feeble attempt of taking the shard back. He held the now complete jewel of four souls aloft and cackled once more as a dark light started swirling about him. He was invoking the power of the jewel!
"No...!" Shippou heard some ally cry weakly. He opened his eyes and saw the swirling power building. He was lying in a crater... why? Oh yeah! In the battle, he'd gotten thrown and had landed, here. He had thought he had died. He propped himself up on his elbows and saw the awful sight of Naraku, a wind starting to grow in strength blow the dark hair and robes about.
Something had to be done, but what? Shippou was only a child! What could he do?! He was about to give in to despair when he spotted the hilt of the dagger Totosai had made for him. When he landed, he must have crashed into the part of the earth where he'd buried it. He had loved hiding nearby hearing innocent passerby verbally fight with the insulting weapon. But that part of his life seemed so long ago, as he now grasped the handle of the blade and withdrew it from its dusty sheath.
A last ditch effort struck him and he hurled the blade at Naraku. He didn't know what he thought would happen; it was just SOMETHING that he could do. He watched, almost as if in slow motion, the blade twist through the air, but instead of hitting Naraku, it traveled to low! It glanced off the side of Kouga's armor from where Kouga lay on the ground, drifting in and out of consciousness, and strangely it traveled up. Higher and higher it went till it was obvious the blade wasn't traveling from normal forces. The Jewel was pulling it upwards and the dagger hit the jewel, carrying it upwards away from Naraku with frightful speed.
"NOOO!!!!" Naraku shrieked. His prize, his power, had been snatched from him by a kitsune's toy blade!
"You will rue this day!" Naraku growled, leaping forward towards Shippou. The fox tried unsuccessfully to get away, but the villain was too quick in his fury and soon Shippou was in his clutches.
Shippou felt sure that now he would die as Naraku tried to crush the life out of the child's body.
"Hey you spider spazz!" A somewhat familiar booming voice was heard from the sky amid cracks of thunder.
Naraku's grip on Shippou's throat slackened, and Shippou opened his eyes to see an ungodly huge, rolled up newspaper come crashing down from the heavens onto Naraku. It was just short enough to not harm Shippou and as the head, and then the body, of the villain was crushed down into the earth by the large random object, also came down Naraku's arms, and his hands, and the Kitsune who was being throttled in that grip. Shippou hit the ground hard, and rolled down a slight hill as a new horror slowly came down from the skies.
It was a tiny stone statue... of a dog.
"And now my minions! ARISE!!!!" The booming voice erupted from the figure and the trees turned to grass blades. An army of banana's danced in a circle around the field. A horde of random talking birds circled over head. And soon they were also surrounded by a mass of nameless people, all chanting fire.
"Are you not terrified?!" The voice asked in glee, but only Shippou emmited squeaks of fear.
"Ugh! This is not working." The voice lost it's deep, booming, echoing quality and sighed in frustration. Sparks of light burst forth from the statue and leapt through the air towards Shippou's fallen comrades and new allies. Soon all were groggily rubbing their eyes as if waking up, and doing a double take once they spotted the glowing statue.
"That's more like it!" Inu-pup cried with mirth.
"It's- It's not possible!" Kagome stuttered.
"Not the Inuyasha Factor! ANYTHING BUT THE INUYASHA FACTOR!!!!" Shippou begged.
"The what?" A certain half-demon in red asked.
"When everyone went insane, Shippou named the disease after you." Sesshomaru explained to his brother, whom he was lying next to.
"You named a crazy disease after me?!" Inuyasha shouted angrily at Shippou.
"ENOUGH!!!" Inu-pup shouted, effectively silencing the bickering that was detracting from her revenge.
Now that all was silent, a bright light radiated from the stone dog statue, and the voice of the demented being rang forth, "Now we tell this story My Way!" The world continued to brighten until all anyone could see was white, and all they could hear was the sound of Inu-pup's maniac guffaws ringing in their ears.
evil laughter It begins!
