Betrayal
Author's note- *Blush* sorry about the wait. I'm starting to become obsessed with Rurouni Kenshin. ^_^ And I have another fic I was working on. So without further adieu, here's the next chapter of Betrayal!
Disclaimer- "Inuyasha: A Feudal Fairy Tale" doesn't belong to me. Bits of Linkin Park's "Runaway" is in this chapter, as well. Yukito, Midori, and Chikara are my creations, though.

Chapter 11
Tribulation
Yukito wiped a spot of blood from the side of his lip. He had never been in this much pain in all of the four years he walked the earth. Still, he had to protect Chikara. The small girl was shivering in a corner of the room they were in. Naraku was waiting for Yukito's next attack.
"Yuki-niichan..." Chikara whispered. Yukito looked at her, and shivered. Something in her eyes froze him. The two year old girl stood up, and walked towards Naraku. She locked gazes with him.
*~*~*
"I smell... Kanna," Inuyasha said.
"According to Kagura, Kanna should be with Naraku. Follow Kanna's scent, and we should find Naraku," Miroku said. Inuyasha nodded, and leapt in the air, with Kirara following.
"Inuyasha, I can feel power around here," Kagome said.
*~*~*
Chikara lowered her eyes to the ground, and whispered, "Papa was right. You are a bad man."
"I used to be a man, now I'm a youkai," Naraku said. "Foolish child."
Chikara looked back at him, and tilted her small head. Naraku noticed tiny claws appear on Chikara's fingers. A thin purple stripe appeared on her cheek, and her eyes turned vaguely red.
*~*~*
"I can feel it, too," Inuyasha said. He gained more speed, until he saw the palace. It was black, and Kagome shivered. "Scared?"
"Hai. But I'm still going in to help," Kagome said. Inuyasha dropped onto the ground, and Kagome jumped off of him. Kirara, carrying Miroku and Sango, arrived shortly afterward, and the five of them walked into the palace.
"Do you smell him, Inuyasha?" Sango asked.
"Hai, his disgusting scent," Inuyasha said. He pointed to the farthest room on the right in the corridor they were in. "In that room. He's got Chika and Yuki in there, too."
"No..." Kagome whispered, running towards the door, and flinging it open.
*~*~*
"Mother!" Yukito yelled, running up to her. "Chika is different."
"How so?" Kagome asked. Miroku, Sango, and Inuyasha walked into the room, but froze when they saw tiny Chikara standing bravely in front of Naraku. Her hair flew around, and turned white instead of the regular black it was. The rest of her eyes turned red, minus a thin blue pupil on each.
"Chika," Inuyasha started. "Get out of there!"
Chikara looked at him, and shook her head. "Get out of here, Papa," She instructed.
Miroku looked at the little girl then at Naraku. 'She'll be killed for sure,' he thought, and walked up beside the young quarter-youkai. He glared at Naraku, who just smirked.
"Ku ku ku... Miroku, I'm back," Naraku said. "Surprisingly, your friends forgave you..."
Sango walked to stand beside Chikara, holding the katana she had tightly. "Shut up," Sango said. "And die."
"Stop!!" Chikara yelled. She walked up to Naraku with a finger held out. "Naraku, leave Mommy and Daddy alone! Leave Miroku and Aunt Sango alone! Leave us alone!!" A white light shone out of the tip of her finger, headed straight for Naraku.
"What... is that?" Sango asked.
"I think Chika's purifying him," Kagome said. "But... how?" She looked at Chikara, as the white light was melting Naraku's skin.
Yet, the hanyou (naraku) wasn't screaming in pain. He still had his knowing smirk on his face.
"You all know this is a waste. I'll just come back," Naraku said.
"Iie," Chikara's voice said. "You disappearing." Naraku looked down, and noticed that it was true.
"Move over, Chika, it's the adults' turn to play," Inuyasha said, sadistically, as he aimed Tetsusaiga towards Naraku. Miroku started attacking Naraku with his staff, and Sango started to slice the remains with her katana.
Eventually, all of the remains were gone. Not even a single speck of dust remained.
Kagome stooped next to Chikara, and looked at her daughter in the eyes. The little girl still had her 'look'.
"How...? How did you do this?" Kagome asked.
"I dunno, Mama," Chikara answered, her eyes slowly changing back to her normal gold. "I was crying, and Yukito was fighting Naraku..."
Inuyasha gave his son 'the look'. (You know, the one that says, "We are going to talk later.")
"An' then, I just... I dunno... I changed," Chikara said. Kagome watched Chikara's hair change back to the normal black.
"She became youkai," Inuyasha explained. "Did you see what she looked like?"
"Hai.. like you... when you become youkai," Kagome said.
"Exactly. But what I don't get is how she learned to purify Naraku," Miroku said. "I mean, even Kagome-sama couldn't."
"I don't think we'll ever know," Sango whispered, as Yukito stepped up to stand next to Chikara.
"Yuki-niichan used Papa's attack!" Chikara astonished. "By himself!"
"What attack?" Inuyasha asked.
"Iron Reaver..." Yukito whispered. Inuyasha's eyes widened.
"Wow..." Miroku said, amazed. A four year old could do that?!
"We better get out of here," Sango said. "This place is creeping me out."
