*** Yay, new chapter! Well, last chapter we met Jack again, and now Shadow
is coming after them! He may no how to bring Miroku back to his normal
state, but maybe not. Please R&R! ( Even though you've been slacking off,
stupid school) Well, thanks to another writer, Sakura Kuroyo, I'm back on
track. Ok... maybe she hasn't contacted me in a while and I'm starting to
think I did something wrong but that's all well and dandy.
{Voice in head} Just write the damn story!
Ok ok, jeez. Well, R&R! ***
Chapter 15, Battle Of Might
A large explosion erupted shaking the ground. Everyone looked up shocked as a dark creature jumped out of the woods and headed toward them.
" That's Shadow." Jack mumbled, bringing out his sword.
Inu Yasha grimiced and stood back up, looking down at his wound.
" Perhaps you should rest Inu Yasha." Miroku stated, walking over. " Your wound is bad, you should heal first."
With a glare Inu Yasha turned away. " Does it look like i have much of a choice in wether or not i want to battle. We need to kill this thing, it knows how to turn you back!"
Sango stood, picking up her boomerang and watching the creature make its way towards them. Clutching the weapon tight she growled and walked over toward Jack,
" Do you know how to beat it?" She asked.
Jack looked over at her, his brown hair going in front of the lifeless eyes that he had had for so very long. " I don't know. We must play it by year. Maybe if we could stall it enough we could find a weakness.
" Good enough for me."
Kagome picked up her bow and arrows, ready to fire at any moment. Shadow glared at her and opened his mouth, dripping saliva sliding out and falling to the ground. Stepping infront of her Inu Yasha brought out Tetsusaiga, the fang glowing before it transformed.
" Why don't we make this easy." Inu Yasha yelled over. " You turn Miroku back and just give up."
With a snarl Shadow bounded over, his canine like paws slapping the ground as he moved with speed. Jumping up he landed hard on the dog demon, slamming him into the ground. Inu Yasha winced in pain as his side was hit, the wound beginning to bleed once more.
" Get off of him!" Jack screamed, racing over and bringing down his sword hard upon the creature.
With a howl of pain Shadow jumped off, turning to the warrior. Head low the demon snarled, baring its mighty fangs. Looking up toward the sky it let out a long shallow howl, the sound drowning out everything.
Miroku looked up. " Whats going on?"
Everything began to get hazy. Inu Yasha blinked, slowly standing and bringing his clawed hands to his ides. Looking around he watched as darkness began to envelope them. Soon everything was dark. The only things he could see were his own comrades, and even then barely.
" Its bringing us to its home. The darkness is its place of rest. We will not be able to see it in here, we are in danger." Jack announced.
' That's right, Shadow is completely black, we will never be able to see him in here!'
Shaking that thought out of his mind Inu Yasha took a step forward. Hands sweating, the dog demon glanced around, trying to see anything he could.
A cry. Spinning around he watched in horror as Miroku disappeared into the darkness. A scream from Sango and a snarl, then all was silent again.
" Whats going on?" Kagome yelled almost in panic.
It took a moment, but finally Sango answered. " It tried to attack. Inu Yasha, what do we do, we cant see!"
Suddenly, as if it had been there all along, an idea popped into his mind. Closing his eyes he began to use all his senses.
' I've done it before, and D.T. helped me learn even better. Maybe I don't need to see it, maybe I can just... there!'
Turning around with lightning fast speeds he slammed the Tetsusaiga into the demon. With an inhuman howl the monster lurched back, staring as the blood dripped from its sleek fur. Its red eyes gazed up at Inu Yasha in a hateful glare as it bent back. Eyes still closed, Inu Yasha began feeling the air around him. Dark energies began to swirl over him. Bringing up Tetsusaiga he blocked the dark balls of light.
" Good try." He mumbled. " Not good enough though."
With a mighty roar he raised Tetsusaiga, swinging it forward with a mighty sweep.
" Cutting Wind!" He screamed, then all went white.
* *
With a moan Inu Yasha opened his golden eyes, looking up at the warm sun as it beat down upon him. Kagome stood over him, watching as he woke.
" You did it Inu Yasha, the thing, you beat it!"
Sitting up he shook his head, trying to stop the awful throbbing in his temples. Looking up he saw Jack staring over at Shadow. Shadow was laying on the grass, blood seeping around its body. Its breaths were draw out and shallow, the panting hard. Stepping over to it he growled.
" Transform Miroku back, I know you know how to." Inu Yasha ordered.
Shadow glared up at him. " No." He choked out. " Mine, your not... your not taking it... mine."
" What is he talking about?" Asked Sango.
Kagome pointed. " That!"
Looking down Inu Yasha nodded. Embedded in Shadow's neck was a single shard, the item glowing blue. Bending down he reached for it, but not before being clawed in the hands.
" Mine!" Shadow repeated. " Mine, your not stealing it!"
" Grab it." Jack ordered. " Grab it, its for yours and his own good. That fragment will transform your friend back, and it will allow this demon to lay at rest. Take it Inu Yasha."
With a quick swipe the jewel was in Inu Yasha's hands. Shadow looked up at them, his eyes wide. Then slowly they began to droop, and he layed his head down. His body began to dissipate, and he was gone.
" Here Miroku, have this." Inu Yasha said, handing it over.
Picking up the jewel Miroku smiled. His eyes turned back to their normal blue and the fangs and claws disappeared. Placing the jewel into one of his many pockets he nodded.
" Thank you everyone, you've helped me out so much." He said quietly.
Jack watched them, his eyes lowering a bit. Looking back Inu Yasha was about to saw something when jack's head snapped up. In less then a second he was gone.
" Where... where did he go?" Kagome asked, her voice filled with sadness.
Miroku shook his head. " Who knows Kagome, we shall find him another day, but lets go rest."
With a nod Inu Yasha turned away. Stopping, he allowed everyone else to walk ahead, then slowly he looked back.
' Don't worry Jack, I will free your soul and make both you and Kagome happy again, make you two a family again. Kagome needs you, and I will make sure she gets what she needs.'
Turning back around he walked down the dirt road, slowly catching up to his friends.

Naraku smirked as he watched them leave. Behind him stood Jack, looking away sadly. Grabbing Jack by the back of the shirt Naraku pushed him down. With his index finger he placed it upon Jack's temple, and with one mighty push and a static shock Jack's eyes widened, then he feel to the ground.
" Your good, thank you for allowing me to help you my lord."
Looking back Naraku nodded, picking up the unconscious body.
" You welcome, Katana. You may go have your fun."
Katana smirked and walked down the road, hang falling in front of her eyes.
' Here I come Monk, you better be ready.'
****
So, did you like it? Well guess what, THE END! I may write a sequel, who knows. Well, Review! Just cause it was the last chapter don't make it right for you not to post a review. Do it do it do it, or i will make Katana do horrible things to Miroku! Mwahahahahaha.
{Voice in head} Just write the damn story!
