Chapter 34

My Midget Little Brother

/A\

Takemaru gave a toothy grin once he was sure that Naraku wouldn't be moving an inch, "I'm actually almost a little disappointed, Naraku," He spoke cleanly, with the evil sword still glowing in his grip. The tip of the blade that was once pointed at the defeated spider demon, was then pointed towards the ceiling, "So disappointed, that I just might have to take back my word and lie for a change," Soounga glowed an awful, murky purple glow – the spider was then in utter panic.

"Wait! Takemaru!" Naraku didn't dare move from his spot – if he moved, Inuyasha was dead, Sanada meant business – But what else could he do?! If Kouga were here, the little wolf could have used his speed to easily get Inuyasha away from Takemaru, but it was only him. Inuyasha's life was at stake – what could he do to stall time?! "Don't do it! Don't use the Dragon Twister! You'll level the whole palace-"

"Naraku, Naraku," The Red Demon waved a finger tauntingly, "Why even bother stopping me now? Even if I don't use the Dragon Twister, Soounga is still quite the sharpened sword, I could just as easily end him with a single swipe…heh, I will always wonder what caused you to change your ways Naraku, you and I once held reach for the same goal, Izayoi's love, Izayoi's attention-"

"You went too far with your motives, Takemaru," The spider calmed by an octave, his red eyes starring off into the eyes of an even truer evil, all while snatching quick glances to the half-conscious Inuyasha who lay on the ground next to Takemaru, "I did…I did hate Inuyasha because he had everything I lacked, a family. My own were from a second branch of his family, they spoiled me horribly rotten – so when I lost them to the house fire that fateful day, I was left to him and his family, and immediately, I wanted him to suffer for easily having everything I had lost…the least that I wanted was…" The sound of the door being kicked open every being in the room by surprise.

"A mother," A new voice interjected, "That's what you've wanted…for such a long time now," From behind the new voice came small speedy footsteps – Takemaru blinked once and the half-breed was gone. He looked to the door.

There stood the elder brother, Sesshomaru, and the small wolf demon Kouga with his now slightly awake half-breed friend over his shoulder.

With an angered scream did Takemaru let Soounga loose.
