Chapter 8: The corruption of power
Kenshin woke up and walked to edge of the cliff just outside of the camp. Kenshin realized that he has seemed to be very tired lately, ever since this ordeal started. He stood there starring at the stars and thinking about his situation and how he could get back to his own time. He had no reason to be here anymore but his only link to his time was now dead. Inuyasha was sitting up against the tree. He looked like he was sleeping but he wasn't, he was also up thinking. Inuyasha felt a kind of respect for Kenshin. Inuyasha as stubborn as he is is not normally the kind of person to respect anyone but he respected Kenshin. He saw how Kenshin reacted to this situation and he was surprised by it.

When morning came Kagome and Kaoru decided that they needed to go take a bath. They started to gather the brushes, soup and shampoo out of Kagome's bag.
"If you need us, we will be taking a bath in the lake." Kagome announced to the rest of the gang, who were still sleeping.
Upon hearing Kagome say this Miroku woke up. He waited for Kagome and Kaoru to walk over the hill then he started to follow them. He followed them all the way to the lake. His eyes lit up as they started to undress. Kagome and Kaoru stepped into the lake and began to wash themselves. Miroku crept closer and finally settled behind a rock that was right next to the lake. He had a huge grin on his face as he watched them wash. Just as this was happening Sango was waking up and starting to walk off towards the lake, Kirara followed right behind her. Miroku was having the time of his life watching Kagome and Kaoru until Sango arrived. She noticed what Miroku was doing she snuck up behind him and smashed her Hiraikotsu over the back of his head. Miroku's face smashed against the rock he was hiding behind.
"Well, that's what you get for being so perverted." Sango said as she pulled him out from behind the rock, "It looks like you had an uninvited guest."
"Was he there the whole time?" Kaoru said as she walked over to put on her clothes.
"Yeah, he was hiding behind there watching you two." Sango said as she stepped on his head.
"Well, if you are going to be here for awhile you will have to get used to his perversion, Kaoru." Kagome said as she got out of the lake and started to put on her clothes. I sense a jewel shard in the forest, and its approaching fast."
Suddenly a gigantic creature came out of the forest. It had sharp fangs and long bloodstained claws. It looked at Kagome and started to walk towards her.
"Give me you jewel shards or I will destroy you." It said in an evil tone.
"No!" Kagome yelled back at it.
"Then I will kill you and take them from you." It said as it ran towards Kagome.
Right as it was about to reach her Kenshin leapt out of the forest, sword in hand. He landed in front of Kagome.
"You will leave Miss Kagome alone, that you will." Kenshin said as he stepped up to the creature. "I'll just have to kill you as well." The creature said as it lunged at Kenshin.
Kenshin leapt to the side and got into his Battou-jutsu stance. He ran forward with god like speed taking the creature's head off with one thunderous blow.
"Are you ok Miss Kagome, Miss Kaoru, Miss Sango?" Kenshin said with worry.
"We're fine." They said in unison. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*
Meanwhile Sesshoumaru was on top of a hill with Jakkan and Rin. He stopped walking and looked to the sky.
"Do you sense that, Jakkan?" Sesshoumaru said as he flexed his claws.
"Yes, lord Sesshoumaru. A storm is approaching." Jakkan said as he turned to face Sesshoumaru.
"There is a powerful force about to be awakened. I can sense it." Sesshoumaru said as his eyes turned red.

Kouga entered Naraku's throne room led by Asuyomika. Kouga stepped up and bowed down in front of Naraku.
"You have done your job well Asuyomika." Naraku said as he stood up and walked over to Kouga. "I will give you great power Kouga, so you can destroy Inuyasha." Naraku said as he raised his hand in the air.
Suddenly, Kanna and Kagura stared to fade. They turned into swirls of red energy and the energy converged in the palm of Naraku's raised hand. Naraku smirked as the energy formed into a luminous ball.
"This is the power I have for you." Naraku said as he pointed his hand at Kouga and fired the ball at him, "I know you have a lot of hidden power inside of you. I can feel it. Maybe this will help you get it out."
The ball entered Kouga's body through his chest and he collapsed. He started to breath heavy. His back arched and his muscles started to bulge. His fangs extended till they were pushing out his mouth and his eyes turned a sickening red. His body grew in size. His sharp talons grew to large thick points and he was surrounded by a dark aura. His mind was filled with hate and clouded with violence. Images of death and destruction played over and over in his head driving him to the brink of insanity. Finally he snapped. His head throbbed and he felt like slicing his sharp claws into his head just to bring the images to an end. He let out a blood curdling scream that made even Naraku shudder. Kouga lunged at Asuyomika. He grabbed her around the waist with his huge hands and through her against the wall. She let out a scream with was drowned out by Kouga's terrible roar. His hand then wrapped itself around her head. He slowly squeezed it until he crushed it with a sickening crunch. He licked the blood off his hand and turned towards Naraku. His face showed a look of pure hatred for all. Hatred so great that Naraku, one of the most evil beings on the planet, was frightened.
