Chapter 11

Miroku drew down his sword and was about to cut off Koga's neck when a voice shouted,

"DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!"

Miroku looked up to see Inuyasha tackling him to the ground. Inuyasha was on top him with Tetsusaiga raised in one hand. Kagome went over to Koga and checked his wounds.

'His wounds are great; I need to treat him right away. He did this all for me...' Kagome thought sadly.

Sango narrowed her eyes and told Kirara to watch over Kagome and Koga. She then ran over to where Inuyasha and Miroku were.

Inuyasha was reluctant to use Tetsusaiga and Miroku decided to take advantage of that. He pushed Inuyasha off of him and pierced him through the stomach. Inuyasha shouted in pain and jumped back. That was when Kagome noticed the Shikon shards.

"Guys, Miroku-sama has three shards in his back and 2 shards in his sword. They are completely black too..."

'Does that mean that Houshi-sama is being manipulated?' Sango thought.

Inuyasha stood up with the help of Tetsusaiga and shouted, "Are you being controlled?"

Miroku snorted and replied, "No, I am doing this on my own free will. No one can control me, not even Naraku."

A sudden burst of anger flared up inside Sango. 'He's saying that so calmly and he doesn't even care what he's doing.' In rage, Sango ran up to Miroku and slapped him as hard as she could at his face.

Inuyasha was too much in shock to say anything as he held onto his sword. Kagome gaped slightly while treating Koga's wounds. Miroku had his face turned slightly and his eyes were widened. Sango still had her hand on his face but her anger calmed down a bit.

Suddenly, Sango began to rub his swollen cheek softly with care. Miroku looked back at her but didn't try to do anything.

'What am I doing? I would never try to do something like this before. Why isn't Houshi-sama trying to hurt me?' Sango thought as she continued to carcass his cheek.

'Why can't I kill her right now? Before I had no reluctance, but now I feel calm and at peace.' Miroku's eyes started to close and he put DarkEdge back in its scabbard.

Unfortunately, the moment was ruined when they heard a very familiar laugh from the sky. Sango stopped rubbing Miroku's cheek and looked up. Miroku instantly reverted back to his crazed side and took out DarkEdge once again. He was about to strike Sango when Naraku landed right between Miroku and Sango.

Sango immediately brought out Hiraikotsu and her sword. Inuyasha staggered to Sango's side and lifted up his sword. Kagome stopped healing Koga's wounds and prepared an arrow as Kirara growled and covered Kagome.

"It's so nice to see you again Sango. Don't worry, Kohaku isn't dead for I plan to use him for later purposes." Naraku smirked.

"BASTARD!" Sango shouted and swung Hiraikotsu at him. Naraku set up his barrier and the boomerang bounced off and into a tree. Inuyasha growled and shouted,

"THAT'S THE REAL NARAKU! HOW MANY SHARDS DOES HE HAVE, KAGOME?"

Kagome looked up and concentrated, she then yelled, "He's holding a huge chuck of the shards in his right hand!"

Naraku smirked and went to face Miroku. He looked at him amused and said,

"So you do have feelings for the girl still."

Miroku growled at him and shouted, "I HAVE NO FEELINGS FOR ANYBODY!"

Sango gasped and Inuyasha transformed his sword into red Tetsusaiga. He ran to Naraku and sliced through his barrier. Naraku growled in annoyance and spread miasma all around him. Inuyasha picked up Sango and jumped back. Miroku coughed slightly, put DarkEdge back into the scabbard and flew to the air. He flew off to the north and disappeared from sight.

"Humph, my plan worked then. I shall leave you today." Naraku said and began to leave when Sango shouted,

"WHY DID YOU INTERRUPT ME?"

Naraku smirked and said, "You were too close. I had to do something before you ruin my plan." With that, Naraku disappeared and Sango punched the ground with her fist.

'I was so close. I could see the regular Houshi-sama in that moment. WHY did Naraku do that? DAMN HIM!'

Inuyasha sheathed Tetsusaiga and went over to Kagome. Kirara transformed back into her little form and meowed sadly. Kagome went back to treating Koga's wounds while Inuyasha gathered some herbs and placed it where Miroku pierced his stomach. Inuyasha growled at the sting but he shouted to the others,

"We are camping here tonight since I can't move."

Everyone nodded and Kagome finished Koga's wounds and began to bandage them. Just then, Ginta and Hakkaku rushed in to see the wounds that Koga had.

"KOGA!" they both shouted and went over to him. Inuyasha blinked and said,

"You guys woke up? It is only a little past noon."

"We smelled Koga's blood so we rushed over here."

Inuyasha took off his shirt and began to bandage himself while Kagome was wrapping Koga's last wound.

By then, Sango was done hitting the ground and retrieved Hiraikotsu from the tree and sheathed her sword.

'I will revert him back to normal.'

She walked over to Kagome and asked,

"How are his wounds?"

"They are pretty deep, but he should be fine by tomorrow."

Sango nodded and went to Inuyasha who was done bandaging himself and his shirt was back on.

"How are you?"

"Keh, I'm fine. How about you?"

Sango said she was okay and went over to pick up Kirara. Kirara meowed and sat on Sango's shoulder. The demon slayer sighed and slumped against a tree thinking about the verse.

'True light and emotions that Darkness cannot grasp. What is true light?'

To Miroku

Miroku sighed as he flew through the skies. 'I should have killed them when I got the chance. Stupid Naraku, I almost got her too. But what was that moment when she caressed my cheek? I felt happy and I didn't have the will to kill anyone at that time. She must have placed some spell on me.' Miroku thought angrily.

'Next time, I won't hesitate to kill her.'

Miroku then saw a peaceful little village that was full of people. He smiled sinisterly and flew down to the village.

He landed near one of the huts and took out DarkEdge. Just then, a middle- aged man yelled,

"What are you doing here, demon?"

Miroku looked slightly amused and shot a black blast at the man killing him and some huts behind him. He then shot a few more blasts all over the place and in a few minutes, the whole village was in ruins if not a single person breathing.

Miroku was just about to leave when a voice shouted,

"Did you do this?"

Miroku looked back to see a priestess that had a few soul stealers taking the souls of the people he just killed.

"Yeah and why would you care?"

The priestess narrowed her eyes and walked towards Miroku until she was only 5 yards away from him.

"I don't care at all but aren't you that monk that traveled with Inuyasha?"

Miroku rolled his eyes, "No I am not a monk and who are you dead priestess?"

The priestess narrowed her eyes and said, "I am Kikyou and I will kill you for harming the children."

Miroku snorted and said, "You care for the children? I don't care but a priestess can't kill me." With that, he raised DarkEdge and fired a blast at her.

Kikyou narrowed her eyes and quickly fired an arrow at the blast. There was a slight explosion and Kikyou prepared another arrow.

Miroku opened his wings and shot black blades at Kikyou. In return, Kikyou shot her arrow that went through all of the blades and destroyed them. Miroku blocked with his sword and the arrow was destroyed but not after feeling the tremendous holy energy from it.

'This dead priestess has more holy energy than the one that hangs out with the half breed.'

Miroku looked up to see another arrow that Kikyou shot at him. Kikyou prepared another arrow and was ready to strike again. Miroku jumped out of the way and charged at Kikyou from the air.

Kikyou looked up and fired an arrow at Miroku's wing. Miroku dodged it and was about to slice Kikyou when she used her bow to guard against DarkEdge. The holy energy from the bow was enough to send Miroku flying back and he skidded on the road and into a destroyed hut. Kikyou walked calmly to the hut that Miroku was in and looked at him.

Miroku was looking at her with pure hatred across his face and stood up. His eyes started to become red completely and his black stripes on his cheeks turned red. His spikes grew longer on his arms and his aura changed from a disturbing one, to a bloodthirsty and crazed one. He lashed out with DarkEdge with amazing speed. He continued to lash out, not caring what he destroys in his path.

Kikyou's eyes widened and jumped out of the way. Miroku was in no position to think, speak, hear, or act straight. All that he knew was to kill everything that was near without a second thought.

He continued to lash out and Kikyou had no time to draw an arrow. Miroku finally hit her on the shoulder and Kikyou winced in pain. She summoned her soul gathers and they wrapped around her waist and lifted her up into the air. Miroku flew up to her and tried to kill her but Kikyou teleported before he had the chance to.

Miroku growled in frustration and traveled through the woods only thinking one thing,

'Kill, kill, kill, kill.'

To Inuyasha

Inuyasha twitched an eyebrow as Koga began to "flirt" with Kagome.

"Kagome, you're my heart and soul and I got wounded because I wanted to make you feel better." Koga said.

"Koga I appreciate your efforts, but you are only going to get yourself killed." Kagome stated.

"Kagome, I would do anything for you and I don't care if I die in the process."

"Thank you Koga, but do you promise me that you won't go after Miroku- sama?"

"Yes Kagome, if it pleases you."

"Thank you Koga, it means a lot to me."

Inuyasha twitched and was about to pound him into the ground when Kagome shouted,

"SIT!"

Inuyasha groaned as he was slammed into the ground with tremendous force.

"I'm so sorry Inuyasha!" Kagome shouted as she checked his stomach wound from the battle. Thankfully it didn't reopen but it must have been very painful to be slammed down into the Earth.

Kagome was keep on apologizing as Ginta and Hakkaku went to Koga to see if he was okay.

Sango watched all of this not being amused at all. 'What is true light, the element light? I think we need to go and find more information before we head off to find Houshi-sama.'

"Guys, I think we need to find out more about the last verse before we head of to find Houshi-sama." Sango shouted.

Inuyasha and Kagome nodded in agreement about Sango's plan and both stood up.

"That sounds like a plan. Good luck." Koga said and began to stand up.

"Koga-kun, you shouldn't be up yet. You can stay with us tonight if you want to." Kagome said worried.

Koga nodded in agreement but said that he'll leave tomorrow.

"Keh, tomorrow we are going to find information about the last verse so I don't care." Inuyasha gruffly said.

"Sango-chan, do you know any place where we can find information?" Kagome asked.

"Yes, the same place where we found the information about the spell, Malin's house." Sango replied.

"Malin, who's that?" Kagome asked.

"He is a very nice guy that is Kaede's old friend. He probably has information about the element light. He'll let us borrow the books that contain the information."

"How far is it from here?" Inuyasha asked.

"If we travel fast, we'll make it by sunset tomorrow." Sango answered.

"Okay, that's the plan. Tomorrow we go to Malin's place, we find books that contains information, and we head off to find Miroku." Inuyasha said.

Everyone agreed and Koga even admitted that it was a good plan.

"Let's go to sleep right now so our wounds will heal and we'll be able to travel quicker tomorrow." Sango said and prepared to go to sleep.

"Yeah, it is already sundown anyways, night everyone." Kagome said and fell asleep.

Inuyasha said "feh" and jumped to a tree to sleep and Koga and his friends slept on the ground.

Sango leaned on a transformed Kirara and fell asleep on her back.

To Naraku

Naraku smirked as he watched Miroku kill thousands of trees and animals. He hasn't run to a village yet, to Naraku's disappointment. He wanted too see Miroku's full power and how much damage it could do on a regular human village.

'That was close, if the slayer continued to rub his cheek; he might have reverted back to normal. Good thing I interrupted or I wouldn't be able to see Miroku's full demonic power.'

Naraku laughed as Miroku was blindly destroying anything that was in a 3- yard radius.

'Miroku is in full demon rage right now. Kikyou caused it by hurting him and making him angry. He can only think one thing and that is to kill. Miroku's demon rage should last until he calmed down enough. And just like full demon Inuyasha, he will become more like this as he continues to be consumed by his rage. Then, he will be like this all of the time and won't stop until every living creature is dead.'
