Sorry this took so long, but I've been busy (What with being on spring break and all.)
I don't own InuYasha
**
InuYasha gaped at Sango in astonishment. Sango never swore! "What's the deal, he asked, holding Tetsusaigia in a defensive stance.
Miroku gaped at him. "Don't you know who Atma is?" he demanded. InuYasha stared blankly at him.
Atma grinned down from her loftily standing point, her eyebrows arched in amusement. "Are you going to attack?" She asked mockingly.
InuYasha, never one to back down from a challenge, scuffed his feet against the grass, like a bull about to charge. Suddenly, Sango dashed in-between the fiery hanyou and youkai. "Listen, InuYasha!" she said urgently. "You must not fight her!"
Atma lifted her head and laughed in amusement. "Normally, that would be a good idea." She said in an almost conversational tone. Slowly, she began to sink. InuYasha's eyes widened in astonishment, for as her feet touched the grass, it withered and died instantly. "However, in this case, I'd highly suggest that you defend youselves against me." She advised. "You might find yourselves not very alive otherwise." Small wisps of smoke began to rise from the dead grass at her feet. She shrugged and sighed. "I grow tired of waiting for Kagome!" She declared, her voice now carrying an air of command. "Shall we dance too warm up?" The grass around her erupted into bluish flames, casting the youkai in a hellish glow.
The entire group of fighters leapt back as Atma laughed a cold, cruel laugh, and dashed forward, like a blue blazing comet, through the air. She sped forward, flames trailing from her wings and tail, bringing her first crashing towards InuYasha's face. The young hanyou barely managed to bring Tetsusaigia up in time to counter the punch, and grunted as the smash of fist against metal rang through the clearing. Atma grinned at him, unperturbed, and smashed him in the face with her tail, then leapt into the air to avoid Miroku's onslaught. She came down smoothly, landing toe first on the ring of his staff, and kicked him smoothly in the face.
Sango snarled and hefted her giant boomerang. Atma turned and crouched, anticipating the blow. Sango gasped as Atma expertly snatched the boomerang out of midair, and sent it strait back at her. She hit the dirt as the lethal weapon swung over her head, then gasped in pain as a clawed foot slammed into her back.
Atma grinned slightly as she stood over the prostrate youkai exterminator. Sango grunted and attempted to get up, but only was pushed back to the ground.
Slowly, Miroku staggered to his feet, and loosed the prayer beads on his arm. He reached down and grabbed his staff with his left hand and hurled it. Atma turned and knocked it negligently aside with a wing. "Sango, run!" he called, raising his right hand.
Sango, freed of the foot's crushing pressure, dashed straight past Miroku. Seconds later, the whirling vortex of Miroku's wind tunnel opened directly on Atma's lithe form. She turned and opened her eyes in shock as the winds pulled at her, uprooting bushes, grass, rocks, and even young trees of the outlying forest.
Atma didn't move an inch.
Miroku gasped as he wrenched the wind tunnel back under the prayer beads. Atma chuckled, a very nasty sound. "Looks like you have been marked by Naraku." She said her smile increasing.
"What would you know of that demon?" Miroku demanded.
Atma looked at him smugly. "I know much." She murmured. Her eyebrow twitched, and her ear cocked behind her, she turned to face InuYasha. He stood up, leaning heavily on Tetsusaigia. "You bitch!" He said, toting Tetsusaigia over his back. She grinned at him, and dashed forward. InuYasha began to swing Tetsusaigia upward, but was cut off before he could even see the wind scar. His mouth opened in shock as he felt her hand against his, and she grasped the Tetsusaigia. The clearing suffered a moment of silence.
Atma looked at InuYasha. InuYasha looked at Atma. Atma grinned at InuYasha. The young hanyou's face contorted in pain, and he fell a good five yards away. InuYasha groaned, and looked up with some degree of effort. Atma stood there, flashing InuYasha his own trademark cocky grin, holding Tetsusaigia over her shoulder with one hand. Almost negligently, she turned, and swung Tetsusaigia at Miroku and Sango. InuYasha looked on in horror as Tetsusaigia blazed to life, and the demon sent a blaze of sheer power spinning along the ground towards the unprepared Monk and Youkai exterminator.
InuYasha's mind seemed to numb as he watched the blast overtake both of his companions. There was a slow, dark pulling at the back of his mind, insistent, but subtle. She killed them! It whispered to him. A low growl escaped from his throat, guttural and dangerous. Kill her! The voice said almost gleefully. Cut her open! Slash her throat with your claws! Drink her ruby blood! Slight rivulets of saliva trailed out of his mouth, and his eyes started to glow blood red.
Atma turned slightly, and grinned at him. "Oh!" She said, smirking cockily. "Did I make you mad? I heard you get stronger when you get mad." She waved Tetsusaigia in front of him. "I heard that you become a youkai!"
Kill! Rip! Shred! The voice was chanting in his head, roaring, and demanding to be met. Long brownish striped were now crawling up the sides of his face and cheeks, and his ears were getting slightly longer. His growl was quickly becoming a roar. Eat her! The voice screamed. Do everything you've ever wanted to do! and InuYasha wanted to do it… all of it.
He held up his hands, and his claws eagerly leapt out almost another inch. His mouth parted in a challenging snarl, revealing real, full sized fangs. The tips of his hair and ears turned an ashen black, and a wolf-like tail protruded from his tailbone. He roared in rage and pain, charged the she-demon across from him. Like a bolt of red lighting, he was in front of her swinging down with his claws.
Atma scowled at him, turned to the side, avoiding the lethal claws by inched, and retaliated, drawing our bloody lines diagonally across InuYasha's face. Ignoring the burning pain, he slashed out again. His claws grazed the tip of her central horn as she danced away.
Atma reached up and grabbed the hand, then smashed him across the head with the flat of Tetsusaigia's blade. As InuYasha recoiled, he planted his left hand on the ground, and kicked her square in the face with his right foot. Atma recoiled in shock and put her hand to her nose. "you bastard!" She sputtered, pulling her hand away and seeing red.
InuYasha, however, paid no attention to the comment. His youkai senses were on full alert, and working like dogs. He could hear, smell, and see everything around him. His red eyes cut through the blue fire's smoke like a scythe, and his ears were twitching every which way, picking up all that was happening around him. There was a cricket attempting to the flee the chaos about three feet to his left, there was a rock protruding an inch out of the ground eight steps in front of him, and about twenty yards beyond the demoness Kagome was struggling to knock an arrow. Like a beam of light cutting through darkness, Kagome shot through his senses, cutting through the dark voice commanding him. His voice came barreling out of his chest at full force. "Kagome!" He yelled. "Get out of here!" Then the darkness took him fully, and InuYasha disappeared.

I've rewritten this chapter about three times now, but I can't get the fight scenes to sound how I want them to, especially when there are about three people fighting. Am I just being a perfectionist, or do they really suck? If they suck, I don't suppose someone could E-Mail me giving me some in-depth tips on how to write combat scenes.
Also, I have no Idea what InuYasha looks like when he's full demon, so I had to make it up. Hope you don't mind. ^_^
