^_^ you know I think these authors notes are getting even shorter now!
oh to answer a few questions one of my reviewers brought up, one Kagome always has trouble transforming, but hasn't really talked about it, it is only now getting to be trouble, high rating is just to be safe ^^ in case it gets too violent or whatnot ^_^ on with the story! One final thing, I use the manga for the blueprint, assuming that the characters would travel and fight similar

"Tell me brother is the potion ready yet?" Hiten was lying across a bench in the corner.
"It may be a while brother, good cooking is a work of art." Manten replied stirring a cauldren. "We are almost ready to add the most important ingredient, live fox!"
A tiny kit was wimpering softly in the cage, obviously the ingredient that Manten was refering to. Inuyasha would have attacked right there, but Oichi stopped him, whispering softly.
"Let me distract them, they may attack the kit if you go right now."
"That would be a good idea." Myouga said hopping onto Inuyasha's shoulder.
"And where have you been?" Inuyasha said glaring at the flea.
"I'm sorry my lord, please forgive me! It is just that those two have a dark aura around them, fighting would be highly unadvisable!"
"Feh, I can handle them!"
"Inuyasha, you dont want to hurt the kid now do you?" Kagome interjected.
"FEH!"
Inuyasha stayed put and watched Oichi begin to conjure up one of her illusions. The entire room was covered in fog, as Kagome and Oichi ran toward the cage with the kit. Inuyasha waited until they managed to get it, however the thunder brothers had other plans, Manten releasing a thunderous blast and almost completely obliterating the room, while Hiten attacking Inuyasha. Kagome and Oichi managed to avoid the blast with the cage, but with their cover gone, they had to run almost immediatly, Manten chasing them.
Oichi held the cage as she tried to unlock it, giving almost silent growls of comfort. Kagome ran after her.
"Why didn't your illusion work?"
"Somehow they could see through it!" Oichi got the cage open, getting the tiny fox out.
"Can you do anything else? You're a demon, run faster!" Kagome looked at the menacing Manten behind her, who was cackling evily, and gaining.
"Sorry, fast isn't something I can do well with passengers!" Oichi threw the cage at the youkai chasing them, slamming it right into his head.
"ROTTEN VIXEN, I shall skin you alive!" Manten sat up rubbing his head, then summoning his power he opened his mouth and sent a devastating blast at the two.
"DAMN IT!" Kagome said, transforming to her youkai form and grabing Oichi with Shippo. She manged to dodge barely.
"What! Why didn't you do that earlier cat!" Oichi screamed.
"It's not something I like to do, I prefer being human!" Kagome yelled back, her ears flat, still holding the fox. She was unfortunatly unable to dodge the next blast that Manten sent after her, knocking her and Oichi flying. The thunder youkai began to advance toward Kagome, who was still stunned, his mouth glowing.
"Bye bye Kitty!"
Kagome did the only thing she could think of "INUYASHA!!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --
Inuyasha was having his own trials, Hiten had attack him almost immediatly, putting him on the defensive. Myouga hopped off of Inuyasha, running away from the now enraged hanyou.
"Don't worry my lord, I will be cheering you from here!"
Hiten and Inuyasha were in a blade lock both growling, but Inuyahsa was stronger, pushing the thunder youkai into the air. He looked amused.
"Finally, a worthy opponent, this should be a good fight!" He gathered his powers on the tip of his weapon, sending a badd of lightening straight towards his opponent.
Inuyasha simply grinned savagely, slicing it down the center, the ground to his sides being torn up. However he was distracted by a blast to the side.
"Kagome!"
This distraction cost him, Hiten impaling his shoulder, sending a large jolt through his body, causing him to scream.
"You should focus on the fight, not on your woman, besides, my brother has probably already devoured their power!"
"Devoured their power?" Managed to choke out grasping the spear.
"Yes, it is a wonderful technique, eat a youkai's flesh, gain it's power. I must remember to thank that shadow!" Hiten pressed forward making Inuyasha grunt in pain.
"I got news for you bastard, we aren't dead yet!" Inuyasha threw the youkai back, then placing his hand on his wound he sent the claws of blood after Hiten.
Hiten blocked once again, as Inuyasha sped off to where Kagome was, getting her an Manten in sight. He was forced to turn to lock blades with Hiten once again, growling fiercely.
"INUYASHA!"
Kagome's scream energized the hanyou, pushing Hiten away he then pivoted and released his sword, aiming straight at Manten. The sword pierced the youkai, getting a yell from Hiten. Kagome scrambled away, then jumped, stumbling on her foot. Inuyasha managed to catch her, holding her tight.
"Thank you Inuyasha" she said, burying her face into his coat, ignoring the blood.
Inuyasha held her for a second then let her go "Get Oichi, and the kit and hide, I'll take care of Hiten."
"But!"
"You are in no condition to help Kagome, go on now."
Kagome nodded and finding the still unconcious Oichi pulled her off to the side. Myouga hopped over to them moaning.
"Inuyasha no longer has the sword, he needs it to defeat that monster!"
Inuyasha watched as Hiten morning his brother then proceded to rip out his heart and devour it.
"Disgusting what they did for power."
Hiten the rose his eyes glaring red. "You pathetic half-breed, I shall rip you apart, piece by bloody piece!"
"Try it!"
Hiten then charged Inuyasha, who stood weaponless. Hiten brought his blade down, destroying the ground, but missing Inuyasha, who side stepped. Inuyasha then grabbed the spear and ignoring the searing pain of the lightning, slammed it into Hitens gut, knocking his wind out. The youkai stumbled back and dodging Inuyasha's swipe used Manten's skill, sending a blast of power out of his mouth and toward Inuyasha, unfortunatly it was also toward Kagome and the others.
"Use the sheathe Inuyasha!" Myouga.
Inuyasha didn't question this, simply pulled it from his side and used it to block the blast. The sheathe did the job, to everyone's amazment.
"FEH! I can use this!" Inuyasha said looking at the sheathe.
Hiten didn't give him much of a reply, bringing his weapon down once again on Inuyasha who blocked with the sheathe. Inuyasha began to concentrante on the match, noticing something, the sheathe was pulsing slightly, barely noticable, but it was pulsing. Concentrating on that pulse he was surprised to find it calling to the sword. The sword hurtled towards Inuyasha, giving him the necessary weapon to kill Hiten, but first he needed his hands. Inuyasha leaned back, causing Hiten to overbalance, he then grabbed the spear once again, barely feeling the shock. He then grabed the sword with one hand as it flew to him and he used it to slice off Hiten's head, ending the fight.
Oichi had regained conciousness by now, and comforting her kit she watched as Kagome rushed to Inuyasha, ignoring her ankle which had been injured. Inuyasha gripped her tightly, not wanting to let her go. Oichi looked away, rather jealous, but happy for the two. She decided that since these two seemed to have so much fun she was going to join them.
