AN#2: ;P sorry I haven't updated in a while, but I wanted you all to get the double chapter and I was hoping someone would guess the right answer before I was 'forced' to tell my dear friend 'Almaseti' the answer so you guys would get the double chapter anyway. Only problem is, SHE ALREADY KNOWS THE ENTIRE PLOT!!! So, I gave this to you all anyway, just because you all deserve it. Oh yeah, and the answer to 'InuYasha's dream' is in my end notes, or Almaseti's review. Well, I have a long ways to go for this chapter, so I'll make the thankyous pretty quick.
Chibi-Suiko: I can't believe people find me funny here! I mean, if I crack a joke at school, everyone looks at me like 'what the heck was that?' ya know? And then you just get this really awkward silence.. and.. yeah.. just like that.. ANYWAYS..... What?!!? NO! ure not pathetic, don't worry, I get all worked up like that too, like I'll be reading a fanfic and the person ends the chapter w/ a really, uh , cliff-hanging, cliffhanger! (u know what mean when I say that, right?) and then, I'll end up screaming at the monitor and my mom, will come in and I'll end up sweatdropping like hell and just well, epp! Too long! *grits teeth* gotta finish chapter tonight... Grr...
Zel no miko: Uh, it depends... I have 3 viz graphic novels #s 5,6, &12 though I have been looking on the internet a lot... basically all I've been able to get my hands on...

Aisuru: Yay!! *jumps up for joy* ure a regular now!! ;P Nah, she just smells really good to InuYasha, mostly b/c Sesshoumaru can't stand humans (until Rin comes along that is *grin*) WEAK HUMAN NOSES RULE PEOPLE!!

Usagipegusus: HIYA!! Sorry I didn't update sooner, but I wanted someone to win the contest so you all could get the double chapter. Could u tell me, was it worth the wait?
Almaseti: HIO!! Hmm....gee, I have no idea who you are... heh. NOT!! Thanks for reviewing my fic and 'guessing' the right answer. Lol. Ttyl in Physics class! ;P
FYI: AS LONG AS YOU CAN COMMUNICATE YOUR IDEAS, YOU HAVE AUTHOR POWERS TOO!!!!! GO AUTHOR POWERS!!! (Now I feel like something out of Captain Planet...)
Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha, Captain Planet (I only mentioned him cuz of the above note, not that anyone cares), or much else for that matter.
Previously:
"InuYasha..." Kagome said softly. Suddenly she felt something. -What the...? A shikon shard? But I didn't sense it before, so why now? And it seems so close... But there's something else...-
"Kagome? What's wrong?"
"I... I think I'm sensing a shikon shard... and something else..... though I'm not sure what yet... Do you smell anything?"
InuYasha sniffed the air as his ears twitched and listened for anything. "Kagome? I think I smell Sesshoumaru... Be extra careful." Cautiously, they began to walk forward. Suddenly, InuYasha jumped towards and grabbed Kagome with demonic speed. Sesshoumaru's poison claw had missed them only by centimeters. Making deep ditches in the ground where, only moments before, Kagome was standing. Then in one swift and smooth movement, InuYasha put Kagome down and pulled out his Tessaiga, once his father's fang and now his sword. He wouldn't let Kagome be captured again. Never again...
Chapter 5!!!!!!!!!!!!
InuYasha blocked his brother's attack. And the next one, and the next one, and the next one. InuYasha dodged as his brother's whip appeared and slashed into the ground. Sesshoumaru whipped it around and it caught InuYasha's airborne ankle (He had jumped into the air). Sesshoumaru pulled on the whip and flung InuYasha into a thick tree, which cracked and split at the force. InuYasha screamed in pain as his bare back collided with the tree's thick, hard bark.
"InuYasha!" Kagome yelled, worriedly. Her worry only increasing when he found it hard to stand when Sesshoumaru pulled his whip free for another thrashing. Kagome ran and kneeled before him. "What's wrong?"
"My ankle is all. Kagome! Watch it!!" He said as he saw Sesshoumaru's whip bear down on them again, an evil grin on his face. Kagome turned and saw the whip and closed her eyes, preparing for the intense pain. But it never came. Kagome looked up to see Sesshoumaru being thrown back, his arms and legs spread wide, his eyes tightly shut and fangs gritted as his back slammed full force into another tree. A surprised look on her face, she turned to her new lover and found him staring, stunned, into her face, his arms slightly around her waist as if he was about to pull her safely out of the way. But he stood there, just stunned.
"Wha...? InuYasha? What?"
"Kagome? How... did you do that?"
"Do?!? Do what?"
"You... You mean you don't know? Your Ki" (human energy, basically what makes a powerful miko) "went through the roof! You had something like a purple glow and Sesshoumaru..." the subject of their conversation stirred and rubbed his aching head. He moaned and their attention was caught, slightly, Kagome took note but continued to question InuYasha.
"What do you mean I had a purple glow?" Sesshoumaru chose this point to attack her again, yelling, "Human bitch!" using his poison claw attack. (Ironic insult seeing he's a dog-demon, isn't it?)
Her eyes went wide with surprise and she instinctively brought her arms up in defense. Then she saw it with her own eyes. The instant when Sesshoumaru's claws touched her skin, she glowed a light purple and Sesshoumaru was flung into the tree again, only this time, with more force.
Kagome's jaw dropped with surprise. -How did I do that??? And more importantly, how can I do that again?!- she thought, just as stunned as InuYasha, who was starting to get a grip again.
(skip this part if you don't like my babbling and want to read the rest of the chapter)
-Hey! You're making me sound like a weakling!!- yelled ChibiInuYasha at the author.
-Oi! What are you talking about!? And WHY are you interrupting NOW of all times?!? The readers want to hear the story, not your complaining!-
-Feh! Ya know, one little broken ankle hasn't stopped me before, why should it now? I'm standing around doing NOTHING! Not like me at all!-
-No, It's just that you're surprised that Kagome isn't as much of a weakling as you thought.-
-So, when do I get to fight? When do I get to fight?- he said, jumping up and down like a child (which technically, he is).
-I'm getting to that, now let the readers read the story so we can find out!-
-Feh... Fine.- grumbled chibiInuYasha.
-Now then, as I was saying..-
(end my citterchatter)
A low growl came from Sesshoumaru's throat as he, with effort, pushed himself back up. His eyes flashed red as he looked at his new target, Kagome, totally forgetting the hanyou by her side. A dangerous mistake.
Pulling out his bright green whip Sesshoumaru attacked Kagome again. This time, she was somewhat prepared. Putting her arms up in defense, a light purple semi-circular barrier appeared in front of her, a mere 2 feet away. The instant when Sesshoumaru's whip touched the shield, InuYasha swore he saw Kagome's eyes turn a light purple, but no, her eyes were her usual blue-grey. The whip rebounded and hit Sesshoumaru diagonally across his back. The force slammed him face down into the dirt at Kagome's feet. She looked at his wound and noticed his spider scar on his back.
"InuYasha! This isn't Sesshoumaru! It's Naraku! Look at his scar! I thought I sensed a shikon shard! Speaking of which..." she looked at Sesshoumaru/Naraku's body. She pointed to where most of the shards were. "InuYasha! Here!"
"Gotcha Kagome."
InuYasha dove towards Sess/Naraku and drove his hand into Sess/Nar's, pulling out a handful of shikon shards. Quickly, he gave them to Kagome then turned back to Sess/Nar, as he started to move again. Sess/Nar's (Naraku, still in Sesshoumaru's form) eyes flashed red and he attacked InuYasha.
"Noo!" yelled Kagome. Then like passing a basketball, Kagome shot her hand out to InuYasha. Purple fire erupted around her and a shield (like before) formed before InuYasha, protecting him from Sess/Nar and flinging him into the tree again. InuYasha's jaw dropped in surprise. Then he snapped out of it and jumped into the air (by using his good foot) and raised his sword above his head and unleashed his attack down on Sess/Nar. He saw it however, and barely managed to dodge it. Not quickly enough though, as he found his arm sliced off. He retreated to the tree, while Kagome went to his fallen arm. She briefly looked at it then pulled out of it a few more shikon shards. The arm dissolved into the air. Holding his right shoulder where InuYasha had hit and severed his arm, Sess/Nar transformed into his true Naraku form, right arm intact. "Enough of these foolish games, InuYasha. You've been a pain in my rear for far too long. It ends now!" said Naraku, in his ridiculous baboon outfit. (AN: don't ask me why, but that's what he wears in this form, he may be the most evil demon and InuYasha's worst nemesis, but he sure looks funny)
A dark cloud began to envelop him. InuYasha and Kagome recognized this.
"No! You're not getting away this time, Naraku!" yelled InuYasha as he prepared another attack. But Kagome was faster. Using her newfound miko powers, she stopped him in his tracks. A light purple halo appeared around Naraku as he tried to move.
"InuYasha! Hurry! Before he escapes!" yelled Kagome.
Then without another word, InuYasha unleashed another attack. Then, Kagome realized her miko powers, holding Naraku, would PROTECT Naraku and she released him, only to blast him with her own powers. So Naraku, finally free, had to choose between Kagome's powerful blast or InuYasha's from behind. He choose neither.
The tree Naraku was leaning on was demolished. InuYasha landed. On his wounded foot. He winced at the pain (refusing to cry out), and sat down. Exhausted from fighting both his 'brother' and Naraku.
"Kagome, why did you let him go at the last second like that? We almost had him!" asked (more like yelled) InuYasha.
"Because if I hadn't, your attack would've bounced back at you! Just like 'Sesshoumaru's' attacks were used against him, your attack would've been used against you! I was saving your hide!"
"Feh! I don't need your protection!" he said as he began to stand up.
"Like hell you don't! How many times have I saved your ass today?"
Suddenly, InuYasha cried out and fell, to one knee from the pain of standing up. Kagome ran up to him and helped him stand, her arm around his shoulders muttering to herself "stubborn hanyou." Although InuYasha's ultra sensitive dog ears heard this he choose to ignore it. He didn't want an angry Kagome to deal with while he was in so much pain. Heck, it was bad enough without the pain of his wounds. He choose to just walk on. The headed down the snowy mountain.
