Chapter 13
"Fire Style:Intelligent Hard Work!"cried Kakuzu
Kakuzu then shot a small fire ball on the ground
"What the hell was that? It's so puny!"said Kakuzu
When the small fire ball hit the ground it erupted into a giant firestorm heading straight for him
"Spoke too soon Inuyasha."said Kagome
Inuyasha glared at her
Itachi then performed some hand signs and shouted, "Water Style: Water Wall!"
Itachi then shot a large wall of water out of his mouth prtecting them from the fire.
"I don't think so." thought Kakuzu, "Wind Style:Pressure Damage!"
Kakuzu then shot a large tornado wave from his mouth combining it with the fire technique
This then amplified the fire technique causing it to evaporate Itachi's water wall instantly
"It's more powerful then before!"cried Kagome
"Kagome we need to use the sacred wind scar to stop it!"cried Inuyasha
"I'll help you out with it!"said Itachi
Inuyasha held up Tetsusaiga, Kagome drew her arrow and Itachi performed some hand signs
"Sacred Wind Scar!"cried Kagome and Inuyasha
"Fire Style:Dragon flame Jutsu!"cried Itachi
Kagome And INuyasha launched the wind scar and Itachi blew out a large amount of fire
Their attacks then collided with Kakuzu's causing a huge explosion.
Kagome was blown off her feet while Itachi and Inuyasha stood their ground
As the smoke spread through the area, suddenly Kakuzu's tentacles came out of the smoke and grabbed Kagome
"Kagome!""cried Inuyasha
Kakuzu then started crushing Kagome causing her to scream in pain.
Inuyasha then jumped and slashed the tentacles off of her
But as he was in the air holding Kagome, Kakuzu then shot another powerful wind blast which hit both of them.
Inuyasha held Kagome tight as they landed on the ground
Inuyasha then looked to see if she was okay
She started groaning in pain
"You bastard!"cried Inuyasha
Inuyasha was about to lunge at Kakuzu but Itachi stopped him
"Inuyasha stay back!You need to stay here and take care of Kagome and the others."cried Itachi
"Back off.!I'm making that freak pay for what he did!"Inuyasha said
"Why are you so damn stubborn? You're already injured! At this rate you'll probably die!"
"I don't care!"
"Then how's that considered avenging her if you die?"asked Itachi
"I just can't do nothing!"said Inuyasha
"You are doing something. You're taking care of our friends. Stop being so damn selfish and do the right thing for them!"
Inuyasha then glared at Itachi but after a few minutes he gave in
Inuyasha picked up Kagome and ran to find a safe place to take her.
He then saw the place where Sango was laid
He then set Kagome there and ran back to get Miroku's unconscious body and set him there also with Shippo and Kirara following him.
"I see. So the dog brat decided to sit this one out. That just leaves both of us Itachi."
"You'll pay for what you did to my friends."replied Itachi
Kakuzu shot some tentacles at Itachi
Itachi jumped and started cutting the tentacles with two kunai.
While he was in the air Kakuzu shot ire and wind at him
Itachi then quickly turned into a flock of crows and dodged the attack
Itachi then changed back to normal and landed on the floor
"Come on Itachi is that all you got. I would expect more from an Uchiha."said Kakuzu
Itachi then raised a finger and pointed it at Kakuzu
Kakuzu then shot his tentacles so fast that Itachi couldn't dodge them. The tentacles then wrapped around his neck
"You're dead"said Kakuzu as he broke Itachi's neck
He then dropped Itachi's lifeless body on the floor
"Finally you're dead."said Kakuzu to Itachi's corpse
"You think so do you?"asked Itachi's voice out of no where
Kakuzu became shocked at the sound of Itachi's voice
"What? Where are you?"asked Kakuzu
The sky then turned blood red
Kakuzu was then surrounded by fire
"Kakuzu you cannot escape the nightmare realm. Now you shall see true terror."said Itachi
Suddenly Kakuzu was sinking into the floor
When he looked down he saw these black hands pulling him down
"What are you doing to me?"cried Kakuzu as he sank
"I'm letting you experience the terror you brought to man people. Goodbye Kakuzu."said Itachi
"Aaaah!"Kakuzu cried.
Back in the real world Kakuzu had collapsed while at the same time turning back to his normal form
Itachi then ran to his friends.
"How are they?"asked Itachi
Inuyasha then was about to answer util he saw Kagome open her eyes.
"Inuyasha..."said Kagome
"Kagome are you alright?"asked Inuyasha
"I'm fine. I'm sorry Inuyasha, for making you worry."
"Stop it! Don't apologize!"said Inuyasha
Itachi then went to check on Sango and Miroku. Luckily they were all alive.
Inuyasha then turned around
Shippo then noticed something different about Inuyasha
"Hey Inubasha what happened to men not showing their tears?"asked Shippo
Inuyasha then smacked him to the ground.
Inuyasha then turned back to Kagome with tears welling up in his eyes
"Why ...should I cry? Everybody's alive right?"
"Inuyasha...Thank you."thought Kagome
Itachi and Inuyasha brought Kagome, Miroku, and Sango back to the cave where they can rest.
Itachi then went back to retrieve Deidaras and Kakuzu's unconscious bodies.
He then tied them up and put a chakra seal so they won't escape when they woke up
Later when Inuyasha,Shippo, and Kirara had fallen asleep Itachi got up and looked at all of them
"I'm so sorry all of you. That I got you in this mess. If only I could have stopped this. But either way I'll protect all of you. I'll make sure none of you are killed because of me, even if I have to die in the process."thought Itachi
