Hello, everyone. I guess you could say I was on a sabbatical. Or you could call me a lazy fuck off, whatever you like. I wanted to wait a long period of time to let the manga and anime of Naruto Shippuuden to progress so I could think of some material. To be honest, I was out of ideas but now I'm chock full of goodies to deliver to you guys. One more thing, I've seen the new updated site, I have no idea where shit is. I'm so confused...
Sasuke returned to Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru-- Where did you go?
Sasuke-- Had to piss.
Sesshomaru-- All done.
Sasuke-- I'm here aren't I?
Sesshomaru-- Come on, we'll be going now.
Sasuke-- Okay then.
Sasuke followed Sesshomaru and Jaken, Rin, and Mo-Mo followed.
Rin-- Master Jaken, I don't think I trust that Sasuke fellow...
Jaken-- Stupid girl, that boy will not last long if he thinks he can constantly disrespect lord Sesshomaru.
Rin-- I don't know, Sasuke seems pretty powerful.
Jaken-- How dare you even think such thoughts! lord Sesshomaru can never be killed. He is the most powerful demon that has ever lived. No one will ever defeat him, not Sasuke, and certainly not Inuyasha.
Rin-- Jaken, haven't you even onced doubted Sesshomaru?
Jaken-- Never, not for one second. He always comes out on top.
Rin-- I never doubt him either.
Rin-- Good!
Sesshomaru-- Hey, you should keep in step or I'll leave you behind.
Rin-- Coming lord Sesshomaru!
Jaken-- Wait for me!
Elsewhere...
Miroku-- Everyone, time to wake up.
Everyone got up from their long night's sleep.
Shippo-- Miroku, how come you always gotta do that?
Miroku-- Early to rise...
Sango-- Oh quit with that crap, monk.
Miroku-- I know you like it.
Sango-- Don't flatter yourself.
Miroku-- Woops...
Miroku "accidentally" tripped over and grabbed Sango's ass.
Sango-- Miroku...
Miroku-- Sorry, damn my horrible balance.
Sango-- Let me help you balancing skills!
Sango slammed him across the face with a huge right hook. Miroku flew through the cottage wall and into the garden.
Kagome-- Another morning, huh?
Inuyasha-- Yup...
Naruto woke up soon after.
Naruto-- What happened?
Kagome filled him in.
Naruto-- Her and Sakura would be like sisters.
Kagome, Inuyasha, Sango, Shippo, and Naruto walked out into the garden. Miroku walked up to them with half of his face inflated and red.
Sango-- How's your balance?
Miroku-- Suddenly it's like I can walk on rope...
Sango-- See? I knew that would help.
Naruto couldn't help but laugh.
Naruto-- Some morning festivities...
Kagome-- Yeah...well, let's go find some breakfast.
Naruto-- I'm starving!
Kagome-- Well, it just so happens I have some wonderful breakfast items for us.
Naruto-- Awesome.
They followed Kagome to her giant yellow backpack filled to the point of bursting. They sat down and ate breakfast.
Kagome-- I made it myself.
Inuyasha just gave her a affirming grunt. Miroku, Shippo, and Sango said it was good.
Kagome-- Naruto, how do you like it?
Naruto-- It's a-mazing!
Kagome-- Never saw someone so enthusiastic about regular cooking.
Naruto-- Really! It's really good! It really reminds me of how Hin-...
Naruto stopped short as his wife's name almost came out. He looked into his cup of tea and remembered how Hinata used to make him breakfast alot like this. He could see her face in warm liquid.
Kagome-- What's wrong, Naruto?
Naruto-- Nothing, I just...uh...
Kagome-- You really miss her, huh?
Naruto-- I was just so used to starting the day with her. It feels weird to me.
Inuyasha-- Hey, we'll get ya home.
Naruto-- Thanks guys.
Sango-- Don't worry about it.
Kagome-- Well, I guess that does it for breakfast since Naruto has cleaned me out.
Naruto had a humble but satisfied smile on his face.
Inuyasha-- Where to?
Miroku-- I'll handle that.
Inuyasha-- What do you mean?
Miroku-- I did some asking around town. There is a haunted mansion about 2 days from here. Many demons have been flocking into the area. I think a Shikon jewel shard might be there. If we're find any clues to getting Naruto home, we might as well start there.
Naruto-- Sounds good to me.
Naruto buttones up his vest. Inuyasha tossed his hair back. Sango had picked up her Hiraikotsu.
Miroku-- Come on. I've arranged for a cart heading in that direction to give us a lift.
Shippo-- Good work, Miroku.
Miroku-- That is my conduct.
Sango-- Come on, then.
Sango was still upset with Miroku, which showed by her sitting as far as she could on the cart.
Naruto-- I could probably get us there in an instant with my Yellow Streak. I suppose keeping a low profile would be best for now.
Inuyasha-- Ahh...Guess I'll just kick back then.
Inuyasha laid down on the bed of straw and closed his eyes.
Miroku-- It seems he is relaxing.
Kagome-- He didn't sleep too well last night. I saw him waking up all night.
Naruto-- He has plenty of time to catch up on some shut-eye. I think I'll follow his example.
Naruto curled up in the corner of the cart.
Kagome-- Does everyone seem to sleep alot?
Miroku-- Yep...
Kagome-- Well then, guess we can just relax for now.
Elsewhere...
Sasuke-- Sesshomaru?
Sesshomaru-- Hmm?
Sasuke-- Where are you going?
Sesshomaru-- I have learned a possible location of Naraku, I will find him and destroy him.
Sasuke-- I've been hearing about this Naraku alot for awhile...
Sesshomaru-- Then you know what will happen if you get in my way.
Sasuke-- I've heard.
Sesshomaru-- Then let's move on.
Sasuke-- Where are we going?
Sesshomaru ignored him.
Sasuke-- Hey!
Jaken-- You hold your tongue!
Sasuke-- Maybe I'll rip yours out...
Rin-- Come on, you 2...
Mo-Mo let out a grunt.
Sasuke-- Hmm?
Sasuke turned around and saw a group and demons nearing them.
Demon-- You're the one known as Sesshomaru...
Sesshomaru--...
Demon-- I've been looking for you. Now that I have found you, I'll destroy you and take your sword and the Shikon jewel shard.
Sasuke-- Shikon?
Demon-- Do you not know what that is?
Sesshomaru-- I shall dispatch with them now...
Demon-- How dare you address the great ogre clan with such disrespect!
The demon lunged at Sesshomaru but he easily dodged it and sliced it in half with his glowing ribbon. He spun the ribbon around and then sliced the others into pieces.
Sasuke-- That was satisfying.
Sesshomaru picked up one of the dismembered bodies.
Demon-- Ughh...I will...kill you-
Sesshomaru sliced off its arm. The demon screamed in pain.
Sesshomaru-- Where is this jewel shard?
Demon-- I won't tell you...
Sesshomaru-- I have ways of making you talk...
Demon-- Ughh...there is a cavern...in the mountain known as Trisakai...
Sesshomaru-- Trisakai?
Demon-- To the North of here...it is surrounded by a large green lake...
Sesshomaru-- Would someone that goes by Naraku know if this place?
Demon-- Naraku was the one that forced us to seek you out. He said we would easily destroy you...he lied to us...
Sesshomaru-- Yes, he did...is there anything else I should know?
Demon-- I've told you all I know...
Sesshomaru-- Very well then..
Sesshomaru destroyed what was left of him.
Sasuke-- I suppose Trisakai is our destination?
Sesshomaru-- Come on.
Sesshomaru walked over to Rin and put her on Mo-Mo.
Sesshomaru-- This will be a long journey, stay on Mo-Mo.
Rin-- Okay, lord Sesshomaru.
Sasuke-- Let's go...
Sasuke started North.
Jaken-- Lord Sesshomaru, are you gonna allow such disrespect?
Sesshomaru-- He has some use to me. When it expires, so will he.
Jaken-- I see.
Sesshomaru turned around and got on his way.
Many hours later...
Inuyasha-- Hey guys, wake up.
Kagome-- Time to get up already?
Miroku-- Seems so.
Naruto-- I was having a nice dream too.
Miroku-- So is this it?
Cart Driver-- Yep...Trisakai mountain.
Miroku-- That hill over there?
There was a small hill in the clearing.
Cart Driver-- Oh no, there still is miles to go, I'm going the other way.
Miroku-- You're kidding!?
Cart Driver-- Nope.
The cart rode off into the clearing faster than needed.
Inuyasha-- Nice job, Miroku.
Miroku-- People make mistakes...
Sango-- Don't even bother
Kagome-- I guess we should get going.
Naruto-- Alright then.
Shippo-- I hate walking.
Naruto-- Here...
Naruto put him on his shoulder. Shippo got comfortable.
Sango-- Shippo got used to you pretty quick.
Naruto-- I have that way, I guess.
Inuyasha-- Alright can we go?
Kagome-- Yeah, let's go.
Inuyasha-- I guess I'll go ahead and look out for demons.
Inuyasha ran ahead of them.
Naruto-- Fast, isn't he?
Kagome-- And stupid too.
Sango-- Let's just get there, already.
Shippo-- Yeah.
Naruto-- Come on, Shippo.
Naruto turned around and walked forward.
Sango-- Wait for me!
Kagome-- Me too!
Miroku-- Nobody pays attention to me...
Miroku walked forward with his head hung low.
Naruto-- This is a beautiful place. I wish I could have come here in more of a vacation- like capacity...well, that is too much to ask for I guess. Hinata...I wonder if you're thinking about me...I miss you so much, Hinata. I love you so much...
Naruto was swimming around in his own head for a long time. So long, in fact, when he returned to reality, they were already halfway there.
Naruto-- What happened?
Kagome-- We've been walking for a day and half now...
Kagome sat down with exhaustion.
Sango-- We would've stop and rested but you never stopped no matter how much we called to you.
Miroku-- How do you have so much energy?
Naruto-- Sorry, guys.
Inuyasha-- It's alright with me, at least we made some progress.
Kagome-- Shut up, Inuyasha!
Inuyasha-- Make me!
Kagome-- Sit boy!
Inuyasha was slammed into the ground by an unseen force.
Naruto-- What happened to him?
Sango-- Beads of Subjugation around his neck. Kagome says a special password and Inuyasha is rendered helpless for a moment.
Naruto-- Awesome. That could come in handy in my line of work.
Sango-- Being a ninja?
Naruto-- Yup.
Miroku-- I bet it pays alot.
Naruto-- Not as much as you think unless you're on an assasination mission or a protection mission.
Kagome-- You've killed people?
Naruto-- Umm...well...only the really bad people.
Kagome-- Like?
Naruto-- Well, I killed someone that threatened my very way of life, my family, my friends, I made a choice and I dealt with it.
Sango-- So how did it turn out?
Naruto-- My life couldn't be happier.
Miroku-- Was this person really that bad?
Naruto-- Yeah. I had to kill him.
Sango-- What was his name?
Naruto-- Pain...
Sango-- Pain?
Naruto-- Yeah.
Kagome-- So what do you do now?
Naruto-- Well, I'm the leader of my village of ninjas.
Kagome-- Cool, so you're like the strongest?
Naruto-- For now, until someone surpasses me.
Kagome-- That's a funny way of thinking.
Naruto-- Nobody is the strongest forever.
Inuyasha-- I am...
Naruto-- Inuyasha, you won't be as strong as you now many years from now.
Inuyasha-- How old do you think I am?
Naruto-- Around the same as me?
Inuyasha-- I'm 1/2 demon so I age alot differently than you. I'm actually around my 60s
Naruto-- Wow...
Inuyasha-- Yup, I'm going to be fighting for a long time to come.
Naruto-- What if someone kills you?
Inuyasha-- I highly doubt it. I've gotten out of my share of situations.
Naruto-- Me too.
Inuyasha-- I'm sure...
Naruto-- What was that tone?
Inuyasha-- I was agreeing with you.
Naruto-- If you wanna fight me, just ask.
Inuyasha-- I wasn't but now that you mention it...
Kagome-- Hey, come on guys, lets save it for Naraku.
Miroku-- Yeah, we won't get anywhere if you too kill each other.
Sango-- Inuyasha, Naruto, please calm down.
Inuyasha-- Fine...
Naruto-- Tell you what, Inuyasha, I promise that before I leave, you can fight me.
Inuyasha-- Is that so?
Naruto-- Yeah.
Inuyasha-- I'll be looking forward to that.
Night began to fall...they decided to rest in a deserted village for the night.
Kagome-- They have decent sleeping areas...
Kagome laid down on a wheat bedroll.
Sango-- Yup.
She laid down next to her.
Kagome-- Sango?
Sango-- Yes, Kagome?
Kagome-- What do you think of Naruto?
Sango-- He's alot like Inuyasha except from time to time. Inuyasha is like Inuyasha all the time.
Kagome laughed at what she said.
Kagome-- Yeah, they seem to compliment each other without actually saying it.
Sango-- You think Inuyasha will remember to fight Naruto before he leaves?
Kagome-- Probably, Inuyasha wouldn't forget an invitation like that.
Sango-- Between you and me, who do you think would win?
Kagome-- For now, I say Inuyasha.
Sango-- Why do you say that?
Kagome-- Well, we haven't really seen Naruto in battle so we don't know if Naruto wouldn't stand a chance or if he would totally crush Inuyasha.
Sango-- You don't expect to be a tie?
Kagome-- Not likely.
Sango-- You have alittle crush on Naruto, don't you?
Kagome-- No, of course not.
Kagome was blushing.
Kagome-- I just...admire Naruto. He is a strong person. All he wants is to see his wife, I can tell he loves her so much.
Sango-- Are you jealous of Naruto's relationship with his wife?
Kagome-- What do you mean?
Sango-- You want what he has?
Kagome-- Well, every girl, wants to be loved like that from somebody that they love in return.
Sango-- So I could assume you're one of them?
Kagome-- You are too.
Sango-- Maybe...
Kagome-- What are you talking about, "maybe"? I see the way that you look at Miroku...
Sango-- Don't start that again, Kagome.
Kagome-- It's true and you know it.
Sango-- Why would Miroku settle for me anyway? He could have any girl he wants.
Kagome-- But he wants you too.
Sango-- How do you know?
Kagome-- A girl knows of course!
Sango-- Alright, "girl"...
Kagome hugged her and went to sleep. Sango also fell asleep after contemplating what she said about her and Miroku.
Sango-- I wonder if you're right...Kagome...
Elsewhere...
Miroku-- So what do you think the girls are up to?
Inuyasha-- You have a sick mind.
Miroku-- What!? I just asked what you think...
Naruto-- You need help.
Miroku-- Come on, guys, don't tell me you've never fantasized about it.
Naruto-- I'm married, I'm not allowed to.
Miroku-- Buzz kill!
Inuyasha-- I want no part of this.
They all relaxed in a hotspring that was near the village.
Miroku-- Ahhh...this is relaxing.
Naruto-- Yep...
Inuyasha-- So Naruto, what are you gonna do when you get home?
Naruto-- Umm...I was planning to fuck my wife, senseless...
Inuyasha-- Well...umm...thank you for sharing that, Naruto...
Naruto-- She'll probably smack me a wall once I get back but it's worth it.
Inuyasha-- Women are strong there as well?
Naruto-- Oh, extremely. I have a friend named Sakura that can cause earthquakes with a single finger.
Miroku-- Oh...tell me more.
Naruto-- I think I'll stop there.
Miroku-- Oh come on.
Inuyasha started laughing. So did Naruto.
Inuyasha-- Are girls all you think about?
Miroku-- Is there anything else worth thinking about?
Naruto-- How you've stayed alive this long is beyond me, do that grabby stuff to a women in my village and you'll lose that arm.
Miroku-- Oh stop playing around.
Naruto-- I'm not kidding. My...master...umm...who was stronger than just about anyone got his arms broken, his ribs smashed, a concussion, his legs broken, his jaw displaced, and his whole body bruised because he saw the former hokage taking a bath.
Miroku-- Whoah!
Naruto-- Trust me, this time period is beneficial for your existence.
Inuyasha-- So have you ever...?
Naruto-- Yeah, and got beaten with an inch of my life. I gotta tell you, I'd rather fight alot of enemy ninjas I've fought 1,000 times before I would peek in women's bathouse.
Miroku-- That bad, huh?
Naruto-- Worse, more than you can imagine, hahahahaha
Inuyasha-- Wow, a woman that would kill Miroku?
Naruto-- Some of the women I know would erase him from existence all-together.
Inuyasha-- That sounds like it would be nice to watch.
Naruto-- Mhmm...
An awkward silence seemed to have appeared like lightning before the storm. It permeated the group.
Naruto-- So Inuyasha, still wanna fight?
Inuyasha-- Yeah...
Naruto-- It seems the girls have gone to sleep...
Inuyasha-- You wanna do it right now?
Naruto-- After you get dressed would be nice...
Inuyasha-- Alright...
Inuyasha wrapped a towel around him and Naruto did the same thing and they walked off in opposite directions.
Miroku-- Hmmm...left alone...again...
Miroku sunk into the water.
Some time later...
Inuyasha and Naruto met in a clearing a few miles away from the village as not to wake the girls up.
Inuyasha-- Sure you wanna do this?
Naruto-- It would be best to get this out of the way now.
Inuyasha-- You say that like this is some sort of hindrance.
Naruto-- No, more of an obstacle. I'm always down for a strong opponent. I never back down.
Inuyasha-- Me either. I never back down, I never give up, and I never surrender.
Naruto-- Hmm...me too.
Miroku-- So, you guys are sure about this?
Shippo had jumped on Miroku's back.
Miroku-- Ahh Shippo, we missed you earlier.
Shippo-- I dozed off.
Miroku-- Well this should wake you up.
Shippo-- Why are they fighting?
Miroku-- To test their strength, their limits, themselves and each other.
Shippo-- I thought they might've been mad at each other.
Miroku-- No, just alittle exhibition match.
Naruto-- So, you ready?
Inuyasha-- Are you?
Naruto nodded.
Inuyasha-- Then let's get started.
Inuyasha ran at Naruto full speed.
Inuyasha-- Iron Reaver Soul Stealer!
Inuyasha slashed at Naruto with the glowing yellow claws. Naruto backed away from the range of his slashing. Naruto punched Inuyasha in the face, Inuyasha hopped back.
Naruto-- Hurt?
Inuyasha-- Naw, that felt like alittle love tap.
Naruto-- I did pull my punch...
Inuyasha-- You don't to have do that, I can take what you can dish out.
Naruto-- If you're sure-
Inuyasha-- I'm sure! Blades of Blood!
Inuyasha scratched himself and threw the glowing red blades at Naruto. He dodged the first 4 but was clipped by the 5th. Naruto jumped and launched himself at Inuyasha, he punched Naruto in the face, Naruto kicked him upside the head and grabbed him by the kimono and threw him across the field.
Inuyasha-- Blades of Blood!
Inuyasha shot 2 hands worth of red blades at Naruto, he threw exploding tags to meet them in mid flight.
Miroku-- This is heating up.
As the smoke cleared, Inuyasha rushed through it and punched Naruto in the gut and backhanded him across the face, he then punched Naruto again and knocked him back against a tree. Naruto slid down and on his ass. Inuyasha ran at him with glowing yellow claws, Naruto grabbed his arm and punched him with a large amount of chakra behind the blow, Inuyasha was staggered for a moment but headbutted him and slashed him across the chest with his Iron Reaver. Naruto jumped back holding his chest. There was blood slowly dripping out.
Naruto-- He wasn't close enough to cut me too deep. Still, could avoid some of those alittle better.
Inuyasha-- Thinking about giving up!?
Naruto-- Not even close, this is starting to get fun!
Inuyasha-- Good!
Inuyasha ran at him with the Iron Reaver but Naruto his arm again.
Inuyasha-- Huh? What is that?
Naruto was generating a Rasengan in his hand. Inuyasha was surprised at the strange orb.
Naruto-- Here is my...Rasengan!
Naruto thrusted it into his chest. Inuyasha was trapped in the giant vortex of chakra that surrounded him. The spinning ball ripped through the forest and smashed into a large cluster of trees.
Miroku-- Inuyasha!
Shippo-- Oh man, did he kill him!?
A loud sharp sound flashed for a moment and a 3 large pillars of energy ripped through the path Rasengan made and hit Naruto at full force. Inuyasha ran through the forest and jumped down next to Miroku. He had a large twisting hole in his kimono and blood surrounded it, his skin was clearly spun as well.
Miroku-- That wound looks pretty bad.
Inuyasha-- I'm fine, Miroku.
Naruto appeared next to him and kicked him across the ground and ran at him and kicked him again.
Inuyasha-- How did you survive my Windscar?
Naruto-- It's called Substitution.
Inuyasha-- "Substitution"?
Naruto-- I made a clone of myself to take the brunt of the attack. I only got hit by the aftershock of that blast.
Inuyasha-- Any other tricks I don't know about?
Naruto-- A few.
Inuyasha-- So can we continue?
Naruto-- When you're ready...
Inuyasha weilded his Tetsusaiga.
Naruto-- I saw that sword when I got here...should watch out for that.
Inuyasha-- Windscar!
Inuyasha cut the Windscar and the 3 pillars of energy ripped toward Naruto.
Naruto-- Odama Rasengan!
Naruto smashed the large Rasengan into the blast that culminated into one large pillar of energy.
Miroku-- Wow!
Shippo-- Amazing!
Naruto was being pushed back by the massive attack. Naruto put more chakra into the attack and he started to move forward. The pillar shattered around the Odama Rasengan and was spun into the blue chakra, now turned into a yellowish blue. Naruto rushed at Inuyasha with the Rasengan now combined with Windscar power.
Inuyasha-- What!? Grrrrrr!
Inuyasha swung the sword at Naruto.
Inuyasha-- Backlash Wave!
A large yellow tornado appeared from the Tetsusaiga and hit the yellow Rasegan and a even larger power struggle started. The Backlash wave proved too powerful to break and the Rasengan lost it's momentum and exploded. Inuyasha and Naruto were blown into opposite directions.
Miroku-- I've never seen that before...
Shippo-- Me either.
Naruto pulled himself and regained his composure and Inuyasha did the same.
Inuyasha-- That was close...
Naruto-- I could say the same.
Inuyasha-- How did you escape?
Naruto-- When my attack exploded, it gave enough kickback for me to escape.
Inuyasha-- Well, I don't really know about the physics of explosions...
Naruto-- Don't worry about it dude.
Inuyasha-- "Dude"...I like that
Inuyasha rushed Naruto and swung his Tetsusaiga at Naruto, he blocked it with a shortsword that was on his back.
Naruto-- Glad I had this with me...
Naruto parried and kicked Inuyasha in the chest, Inuyasha flipped back and landed on a tree branch.
Inuyasha-- Pretty cool stuff.
Naruto-- Always come prepared.
Inuyasha-- I do.
Inuyasha swung his Tetsusaiga.
Inuyasha-- Windscar!
3 pillars of energy rushed in Naruto's direction. He made a combination of handsigns.
Naruto-- Earth Style: Terra Dome Jutsu.
He dug his shortsword into the ground and the earth around him created a dome of rock around his body. The 3 pillars ravaged into the dome and the surrounding area blew up.
Inuyasha-- Did I get him?
The dust subsided and Naruto was there with his sword in the ground.
Naruto-- Hehehe...
Inuyasha-- Huh?
A long sword of chakra shot from the ground and through the tree branch and narrowly missed Inuyasha's face. He jumped to another tree.
Inuyasha-- What was that!?
Naruto pulled the sword from the ground and a trail of chakra followed. There was a sword of chakra surrounding the metal blade which, because of the chakra extension, was now a long sword.
Inuyasha-- What is that?
Naruto-- Just something I picked up over the years.
Inuyasha-- How does it work?
Naruto-- Get over here and find out.
Inuyasha-- You asked for it!
Inuyasha swung his Tetsusaiga.
Inuyasha-- Windscar!
Inuyasha shot the 3 pillars of energy at him. Naruto smiled and ran at the middle tower, he slashed through it, right down the middle and ran at Inuyasha.
Naruto-- Hyeea!
Naruto swung his chakra sword and Inuyasha blocked it with Tetsusaiga.
Naruto-- You're impressive swinging such a large sword around so easily.
Inuyasha-- It was made for me.
Naruto-- Did someone give it to you?
Inuyasha-- My old man left it to me.
Naruto-- How nice of him.
Inuyasha-- Just one of the only things he gave me!
Inuyasha parried his chakra sword and punched Naruto in the face and Inuyasha punched him in the face. Inuyasha and Naruto regained their composure and stared the other down.
Inuyasha-- You're still holding back?
Naruto-- Well you are.
Inuyasha-- Perhaps it's time to quit the warm up?
Naruto-- Let's do it for real.
They jumped apart from each other. Naruto unzipped his vest and took it off, then tightened his headband. He then picked up his sword and re-extended the chakra blade.
Inuyasha-- Let's do this then.
Inuyasha rushed at Naruto and swung his sword, Naruto blocked it with his, Inuyasha pulled it back and jabbed it forward, Naruto jumped back and swiped at Inuyasha with his chakra blade, Inuyasha narrowly missed a slit throat by throwing his head back, Inuyasha spun around and swung Tetsusaiga again, Naruto blocked it, Inuyasha let go of it and swung around and backhanded Naruto, He jumped back and threw his chakra blade, Inuyasha blocked it with the broadside of Tetsusaiga.
Inuyasha-- What?
The chakra sword was still in the Tetsusaiga, not penetrating the sword but attached to the sword at the tip.
Naruto-- Inuyasha!
Inuyasha-- Huh!?
Inuyasha swung around to catch Naruto's Rasengan with his sword, it dug into the handle of the shortsword and the sword became the Rasengan.
Naruto-- Here's something new...Rasengan Spear!
The vortex engulfed Naruto's hand as he grabbed the handle of his sword and dug it into Tetsusaiga.
Miroku-- Can the Tetsusaiga stand that kind of abuse?
Inuyasha couldn't push back the spear anymore and was knocked back, the spear smashed into the Tetsusaiga and Inuyasha was sent into a tree, Tetsusaiga landed next to him.
Inuyasha-- What was that?
Naruto-- I made up alot of variations for my Rasengan.
Inuyasha-- My Tetsusaiga has some surprises too.
Inuyasha picked up his sword. He held it up as it was inclosed in diamond.
Naruto-- What is that?
Inuyasha-- This is my...Adamant Barrage!
Inuyasha swung the sword and millions of shards of diamonds shot from the sword at straight at Naruto.
Naruto-- Shit! What the fuck is that!
Naruto struck the first wave with his sword but it did nothing to the shards of diamond.
Naruto-- Fuck!
Naruto stamped the ground.
Naruto-- Rasengan Shield.
A tornado engulfed him and swallowed all of the diamonds.
Inuyasha-- What?
The tornado spit them at Inuyasha, he dodged them as they ripped through the trees like tissue paper. The tornado subsided and Naruto was on his knees, some of the shards hit him.
Naruto-- Fuck man...I have to avoid that...that was way too random...that sword...I have to...somehow slow it down or break it.
Naruto generated another Rasengan, he ran at Inuyasha with it. He thrusted it into the diamond covered demon blade. The Rasengan didn't even make a scratch as it subsided and left Naruto a sitting duck. Inuyasha swung his diamond sword and Naruto countered it with his chakra blade.
Inuyasha-- Your glowing sword won't cut my adamant blade.
Naruto-- I don't need to cut it!
A shadowclone smashed the ground and uppercutted Inuyasha into the air, Naruto then kicked him higher into the air.
Inuyasha-- Damn!
Inuyasha dropped Tetsusaiga and it reverted back to it's nuetral form. Naruto created a team of shadowclones.
Naruto-- Time for a golden oldie!
Each shadow clone attack him.
Naruto-- Na-Ru-To...Uzumaki Barrage!
Naruto kicked him into the ground with massive force.
Naruto-- Not done yet!
Naruto generated an Odama Rasengan at dived toward Inuyasha ready to use.
Inuyasha-- Tetsusaiga!
The demon sword flew from the ground and went to Inuyasha, he blocked the big Rasengan with it. He was being pushed into the ground by the big swirling orb. Inuyasha was being forced further into the crater when the Tetsusaiga turned red.
Naruto-- What!?
Inuyasha-- Windscar!
Inuyasha was able to swing just enough to cut a Windscar. Naruto was hit with the full force of the blast and was blown out of the crater. He spinned and slammed through a tree.
Shippo-- Whoa...this is intense...
Inuyasha-- That must have been the winning hit.
Miroku-- Inuyasha, what is that?
Inuyasha heard a loud shrieking sound. Inuyasha turned around and saw Naruto holding a large spinning blade of chakra.
Inuyasha-- What!?
Naruto-- Here is something new for you.
Naruto ran at Inuyasha holding the Rasen-Shuriken.
Inuyasha-- Adamant Barrage!
Tetsusaiga fired the huge barrage of adamant spears, Naruto's Rasen-Shuriken plowed through them.
Inuyasha-- Crap!
Inuyasha dodged them Naruto just before he hit him with the attack. A loud ringing sound resonated and the attack exploded. When the dust cleared, the whole praire was destroyed.
Inuyasha-- What was that attack?
Naruto stood in the middle of a large spiral crater.
Naruto-- Nice dodge, you wwon't do it again though.
Inuyasha-- Just come on, we're not done yet.
Naruto-- Alright...
Naruto summoned 2 shadowclones. They started to create another Rasen-Shuriken.
Inuyasha-- Come on!
Naruto ran at Inuyasha holding the much stronger Rasen-Shuriken.
Inuyasha-- Windscar!
3 pillars of energy rushed towards Naruto, he thrusted it into the blast, his Rasen-Shuriken forcing against Windscar.
Naruto-- You're gonna need more than that...
The Windscar began to bend like it did before.
Inuyasha-- Not this time! Adamant Barrage!
Inuyasha's Tetsusaiga was engulfed in adamant and he swung it, releasing a barrage of adamant spears aimed it Naruto. The spears ran into the Windscar combining into one attack.
Naruto-- Take this!
Naruto began to rotate the blade and Rasengan in opposite directions. Naruto began pushing through the blast, the Windscar and Adamant Barrage began to swirl around him and create a path for him, he pushed forward.
Inuyasha-- I got ya now.
Inuyasha ran through the bent and twisted path the Rasen-Shuriken made and struck the Rasen-Shuriken.
Inuyasha-- Backlash Wave!
The huge twister of yellow lightning, energy, and adamant spears surrounded the blue chakra. The Rasen-Shuriken detonated inside the Backlash Wave.
Elsewhere...
Sango-- What is that loud ringing noise!?
Kagome looked out the window and saw a blue and yellow tornado dancing around each other and smashing into each other.
Kagome-- Sango, come on!
Elsewhere...
Rin-- Lord Sesshomaru! Look!
Sesshomaru saw flashes of blue and yellow into the night sky.
Jaken-- What could that be?
Sasuke-- No way...how could he be here...?
Sesshomaru-- We should see what is going on...
Sesshomaru walked forward.
Back to the battle...
Miroku could only watch, helplessly, as the 2 swirling masses of energy slammed into each other.
Miroku-- What the devil!
The swirling energies danced in a circle and then exploded.
Miroku was about impaled by a tree branch but Shippo used his fox magic to deter the path of the sharp branch.
Miroku-- Thank you, Shippo...Shippo?
Shippo seemed to have left the world. His eyes were blank and lifeless. His skin was pale.
Miroku-- Shippo...
Shippo got on all 4s and started to growl and moan as if threatened by something horrible. The dust settled.
Miroku-- Inuyasha...Naruto...
Inuyasha was visible 1st...his kimono was ripped and had some moderate injuries all over his body. The rest of the smoke was blown apart by a thick red wind gust.
Miroku-- What is that?
Inuyasha-- Naruto...?
Inuyasha said this with a blank stare.
Naruto was surrounded with a cloud of red chakra. His eyes were blood red and his fangs were baring.
Inuyasha-- What...happened...?
Naruto let out a low bellowing moan.
Inuyasha saw that his left and right arm were damaged badly as they were covered in blood. Inuyasha remembered what had happened inside the vortex. Inuyasha was able to surround Naruto with the Backlash Wave, he blocked the blast with a Rasengan on both hands and using that to cancel it out.
Inuyasha-- Hmm...
Naruto raised his claws. Miroku held Shippo back who had, for no reason at all, gone insane with anger.
Miroku-- Shippo! What is wrong with you!!
Shippo-- Raghh!!
Miroku heard Shippo made sounds he'd never made before. Miroku could feel Shippo's demonic aura dramatically increasing.
Miroku-- Shippo, what is happening to you?
Inuyasha stared down the fox influenced Naruto.
Naruto-- I didn't think I would need to resort to this level.
Inuyasha-- Come here!
Inuyasha and Naruto ran at each other. Inuyasha swung his sword but Naruto easily dodged it and punched him in face and then punched him in the other side of his head and then straight kicked him into a tree.
Inuyasha-- What is going on...?
Naruto appeared in front of him in a flash.
Inuyasha-- Huh?
Naruto kicked him through the tree and he was launched through a bunch of trees. Inuyasha pulled himself up from the broken tree.
Inuyasha-- This is...
Naruto kicked him in face and grabbed by the arm and swung him over his shoulder and slammed him on the ground. Inuyasha reached for Tetsusaiga but Naruto kicked it into the air and it embedded into a tree.
Inuyasha-- No...
Naruto punched him into the ground repeatedly. Inuyasha grabbed Naruto's leg and swung across the field. Inuyasha jumped up and punched him in the side of his head with all his might. A crater erupted under his head.
Inuyasha-- There!
Naruto thrusted his leg up and kicked him in the chin and he backflipped a few yards away. Naruto got back up.
Naruto-- This is getting fun!
Inuyasha-- Yeah. Tetsusaiga...
Tetsusaiga released itself from a tree and flew into Inuyasha's hand. It returned to it's large battle form. It was now covered with adamant. Naruto created 2 shadow clones. They made a Rasen-Shuriken in Naruto's hand.
Inuyasha-- Let's go!
Inuyasha ran at full speed with his adamant covered Tetusaiga and Naruto ran at him with his swirling Rasen-Shuriken.
Inuyasha-- AHH!
Naruto-- AHH!
Inuyasha-- Backlash Wave!
Naruto-- Rasen- Shuriken!
Miroku-- Oh no, don't do it!
A loud resounding "sit" command hit Inuyasha right before their attacks met. Inuyasha was slammed into the ground by the beads on his neck. Naruto's Rasen-Shuriken dissipated and his eyes returned to normal. Kagome ran between them.
Kagome-- What the fuck is wrong with you!?
Inuyasha-- Kagome...
Naruto-- Kagome...
Kagome-- Do you realize how easy it would be to get attacked by someone if one of you got hurt? What if Naraku had found out that one of you was injured? He would have easily killed one or both of you.
Inuyasha had gotten up from his prone state.
Inuyasha-- Kagome, I-
Naruto-- Kagome, I'm sorry.
Kagome-- What?
Naruto-- I challenged Inuyasha to a fight. He had nothing to do with the decision to fight.
Kagome-- It was you?
Inuyasha-- It was?
Naruto-- It was my fault.
Kagome-- If only I had beads around his neck then I could keep them both on leash.
Miroku-- Kagome! Come here.
Kagome walked over to Miroku.
Kagome-- What is it?
Miroku-- There is something wrong with Shippo.
Kagome saw that his eyes were surrounded by thin black lines and his fangs had grown slightly. He had now calmed down and seemed to have fallen asleep.
Kagome-- What happened to him?
Miroku-- I don't know. During the fight, Naruto seemed to have change greatly in a few seconds. His eyes had changed color and his physical strength had increased dramatically. He was easily beating up Inuyasha as if he was a infant.
Kagome looked back to Naruto, he was putting his vest back on, he glanced back at her as he zipped it up and walked away.
Kagome-- It almost sounds like...(remembering Inuyasha's other form)...
Miroku-- We should keep an eye on Shippo.
Kagome-- Miroku, this is strange. The day Naruto gets here, Shippo seems to have changed. I don't know why.
Miroku-- Could it be that there is a type of connection between Naruto and Shippo?
Kagome-- The question is, what is the connection?
Miroku-- I think we'll find out soon enough.
Inuyasha-- Hey, what are you guys talking about?
Kagome-- Oh nothing, Inuyasha.
Inuyasha-- You 2 looked very serious about something.
Miroku-- Oh, we were just talking about Shippo.
Inuyasha-- What's wrong with Shippo?
Miroku-- Shippo seems to have been acting weird lately.
Inuyasha-- I noticed that too.
Kagome-- Inuyasha, keep an eye on Naruto for us.
Inuyasha-- Why?
Kagome-- Just for some reason, I feel like there is something our pal Naruto isn't telling us.
Inuyasha-- I feel the same...way...
Inuyasha fell to his knees.
Miroku-- Inuyasha, what's wrong?
Inuyasha-- I don't...
A handful of red burns seemed to have appeared all over Inuyasha's body. They glowed a red color and then dissipated, leaving just the burns there.
Inuyasha-- These hurt...so much...
Miroku-- What happened...?
Miroku remembered during the fight, Naruto seemed to have slashed Inuyasha with his glowing red claws a handful of times.
Miroku-- Could Naruto have done this...?
Kagome and Miroku helped Inuyasha up. Miroku helped him back to the deserted village. Kagome walked over and picked up Tetsusaiga. She saw that there was, in the center of the blade, a glowing red hairline crack in the Tetsusaiga.
Kagome-- This looks like the scratches on Inuyasha...maybe Totosai could clear some things up with the Tetsusaiga.
When Kagome returned to the deserted village she went to Sango.
Kagome-- Sango?
Sango-- Yes?
Kagome-- Could I borrow Kirara?
Sango-- For what?
Kagome-- There is something wrong with the Tetsusaiga and I need Kirara to go to Totosai's home so he could come and fix it.
Sango-- What about Inuyasha's injuries?
Kagome-- Nobody besides Sesshomaru has known Inuyasha longer and I doubt Sesshomaru will jump to the chance of helping his brother.
Sango-- Alright, you can use Kirara.
Kagome-- Thanks, Sango.
Sango-- Anytime.
Kagome-- Kirara?
Kirara walked over.
Kagome-- Could you take this mesage to Totosai for me?
Kagome tucked a piece of paper into a collar that Kagome put on her.
Kagome-- Okay, hurry back.
Kirara gave an affirming sqeal and jumped out the window and flew away.
Sango-- She should be back by morning.
Kagome-- Yeah, let's go tend to Inuyasha now.
Sango-- He really didn't look too good when you brought him in.
Kagome-- I think Naruto did this to Inuyasha.
Sango-- During their squabble?
Kagome-- Yup.
Kagome and Sango walked into the room where Inuyasha was resting. Miroku had taken his robe off and bandaged around his arms and chest and mid-body. He had just finished bandaging his leg.
Sango-- How is he?
Miroku-- Not good. I had to embed sacred sutras inside the bandages to keep from burning off.
Kagome-- Burning off?
Miroku-- The first bandages I applied burned off his skin after a few minutes. At least these sacred sutras are keeping. I don't for how long though.
Kagome-- Did you figure out what was wrong with those scratches?
Miroku-- I did alittle bit of studying while I helped Inuyasha. It seems these scratches and burns were laced with an extreme level of energy.
Kagome-- A demonic aura?
Miroku-- Not exactly, but it's close. I could feel...something...
Kagome-- What?
Miroku-- I could feel it...the evil and malice that the energy emenated.
Sango-- Evil?
Miroku-- Like Naraku's demonic aura except much worse. This aura almost made me choke, it was so full of anger.
Sango-- So...?
Miroku-- I think these wounds could've been much worse.
Sango-- Do you think there is a possibility of Inuyasha turning into a full demon?
Miroku-- It is a definite possiblity if Inuyasha has to sustain injuries like this again from Naruto.
Kagome-- So we have to make sure Inuyasha never fights Naruto again.
Miroku-- It's best.
Sango-- Perhaps we should leave Naruto behind.
Miroku-- What?
Sango-- What if something like this happens again?
Miroku-- Well...
Kagome-- Miroku, is there something you're not telling us?
Miroku-- Well...
Miroku walked over to a small closet.
Miroku-- Here...
Miroku opened the closet. Shippo was tied up and slapped with sacred sutras. He was still sleeping.
Sango-- Why did you do that to him?
Miroku-- When he got near the aura releasing from the burns, he went crazy, his demonic aura was flooding out...like Naruto's.
Kagome-- What are you talking about?
Miroku-- It seems this energy seemed to have been attracted to Shippo for some reason.
Kagome-- Why would something like that happen...?
Miroku-- There is alot of mysteries surrounding this.
Sango-- I have a feeling everything will be solved very soon.
Miroku-- Let's get some sleep. Those sutras combined with Inuyasha's demonic healing ability should help him out after a night's sleep.
Sango-- Where is Naruto?
Miroku-- Look...
Kagome, Sango, and Miroku looked out the window. Naruto was sleeping under the window like a baby.
Kagome-- You're kidding.
Miroku-- 'Fraid not.
Sango-- Oh man...
Kagome-- Let's just leave him there, I'm sure he's hurt too.
They all went to sleep in the next room.
Elsewhere...
Jaken-- What is this, my lord?
Jaken marveled at the huge spiral crater in the field.
Rin-- It's pretty!
Sesshomaru-- Inuyasha...
Jaken-- He's here, my lord?
Sesshomaru-- He was here.
Jaken-- Where is he now?
Sesshomaru-- He is nearby.
Sasuke had walked away from and walked into the center of the spiral crater.
Sasuke-- No doubt about it, Naruto is here.
Rin-- Sasuke, is something wrong?
Sasuke-- No, everything's fine.
Sasuke walked over to Sesshomaru.
Sasuke-- So are we going to attack Inuyasha?
Sesshomaru-- No.
Sasuke-- No?
Sesshomaru-- I think it's best to observe them for the time being.
Sasuke-- Observe them?
Sesshomaru-- I feel that something is very wrong here and when I find it, I'll destroy it.
Sesshomaru walked in the direction of the deserted town, Jaken and Rin followed him.
Sasuke-- This is getting rediculous! I'm gonna kill Naruto, Inuyasha, and Sesshomaru and go back home.
Sasuke walked behind them.
Elsewhere...
Naraku-- Klayas?
Klayas-- Yes, Naraku?
Naraku-- Did he take the bait?
Klayas-- Yes, the Uchiha has become our unknowing pawn.
Naraku-- After he has done his job?
Klayas-- I will kill him. Even if he could just kill one of them, that will suffice.
Naraku-- Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, and this Naruto might become a problem later on.
Klayas-- That is why I done what I've done.
Naraku-- Good work.
Klayas-- So what after we've eliminated all of the potential risks?
Naraku-- We'll reap the power of your...Bijuu.
Klayas-- Preparations have already been made to release their power and absorb it.
Naraku-- This is gonna be fun.
Klayas-- Yes, you're right.
Well, there it is. Sorry I made you wait. I know this one chapter probably wouldn't make up for it but thanks for reading it.
