Sasyuubi's first battle against Naraku
Sasyuubi decided that he would go on the defensive to gauge Naraku's chakra and see what his threat level was. His conclusion: major weakling and is very good at escaping the middle of a battle. He could see why Inuyasha had so much trouble with killing him. He gave an evil grin at Inuyasha and called out to him saying "care to join in on the fun of clobbering this COWARD?"
"As much as I love Ramen! You bet!"
Inuyasha attacked from the front while Sango, Miroku, and Kirara attacked Naraku's two incarnations Kagura of the Wind and Kanna. Kit decided to stay back and protect Shippo. Sasyuubi was really having fun now! He was finally allowed to use his Jutsus again! (I don't envy Naraku at this point!)
His first trick: Dragon FIRE Jutsu. Then he brought out his secret weapon: the Demonic Mirror-Wheel Eye! Naraku was toast at that point. He realized almost too late that he would definitely die if he didn't escape. But he couldn't run because of the insult Sasyuubi made to him. He was really LIVID!
"Prepare to die, you pathetic Hanyous!"
Sasyuubi couldn't resist shooting back "If we're so pathetic, then why are we kicking your sorry BUTT?! If anyone's pathetic, IT'S YOU!"
And that pushed Naraku to the brink. He was really ticked now! He wouldn't leave this battle until he saw this INSOLENT HANYOU DEAD! The poor fool fell right into Sasuke's trap.
The battle against Naraku had turned. Now the Inuyasha group had their best chance to end his evil once and for all. And they weren't going to waste it. They fought as if their very souls depended on it. That is until; Kanna somehow took Sasuke's soul.
Everyone just stopped what they were doing in shock. Then Kit laughed at the girl's stupidity. By removing Sasuke's soul, she had freed the full power of his Kekkei Genkai! Now Sasyuubi's true form could be seen, and Kanna was completely helpless. Sasuke's soul had filled the mirror so full, that if she attempted to steal any more it would shatter. She couldn't even reflect the attacks aimed at her!
Kanna was quickly incapacitated after that. It wasn't until Naraku realized that he was permanently done for if he didn't run and fast! He called his incarnations, and Sasuke's soul returned to his body. When Naraku had fled, Inuyasha gave Sasuke a hard pat on the back! He was impressed. No one had ever made Naraku so ticked off that he didn't flee until the last minute!
But then again, Sasuke did have PLENTY of practice at being a brat. He used to act that way all the time back in Konoha! Though he never thought it could come in handy one day. The gang regrouped and continued on their journey for the Shikon no Tama.
Sasuke even had the (UNPLEASANT) pleasure of meeting Koga, leader of the Wolf Demon tribe, a day later. Inuyasha was not happy seeing the Wolf again! Though he was happy when Sasuke did a repeat performance with his cold taunts directed at Koga. He grew to like the hanyou more and more with each battle.
Though, Sasuke's first encounter with Sesshomaru was very different to Naraku. For one thing, he didn't go hanyou at all. He showed respect to Inuyasha's nii-san, much to his dismay. Though Jaken wasn't spared from his sharp wit! Sesshomaru even gave him a tempting offer. Sasuke accepted it and Kit stayed with the group. This would be the first time the two had been separated for any length of time since they came to this dimension. But what was Sesshomaru's Offer?
