[Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha or any of its characters (even though I wish I did) but i do own Serp]

A large portion of the mist began to clear. "Nani?!?!" said both Naraku and InuYasha almost in sink. They then glared at each other angrily because they had agreed on something. After almost all the mist had cleared a figure could be seen standing in the center of a small crater between Naraku and InuYasha. The only remnants of the mist that remained were lines of it wrapping around the figure's body. The mist curled, ever flowing, around his body, up his arms and legs, around his head, and around his tail which was sticking out from beneath his cloak.

"Damn you!" barked InuYasha, "Get out of my way or I'll cut my way through you!" The figures head turned towards InuYasha.

"My quarrel is not with you." Serp said. "Just move aside."

"Nani?!?" InuYasha yelled again an growled a bit. "I warned you!" He charged towards the figure, His sword tetsaiga in his hands. He jumped into the air at the last second. Bringing down tetsaiga. As the blow was about to hit, a blade seemingly to be formed entirly of energy extended from the arm of the figure. The energy formed around his hand as the mist formed around his body. It constantly swirled with black and dark blue light, extending all the way around his arms. light flared from the impact as the blade of energy met tetsaiga. After a short time InuYasha was sent flying backwards against a tree.

"No," said Serp, "I warned you." He turned his attention back to Naraku. Naraku grinned then began to laugh.

"InuYasha!" Kagome yelled and ran to where InuYasha lay.

"I'm fine." InuYasha said using his sword to help push himself up onto his feet. "I've never fought anything like this before."

Naraku looked at the figure smugly. "You wish to challenge me?" he said. "No mere Youkai can defeat me." He grinned evilly.

Kagura leaped from Naraku's side unfolding her fans. "Fuujin no Mai." She said waving the fan in her right hand towards the figure. Spinning, slices of air flew towards him, but each one was blocked by his blade. Kagura landed back on the ground and glared at the figure.

Serp turned his attention back to Naraku. "Who," he spoke slowly. "Ever said I was a youkai?"

"Nani?" Naraku said quickly, His eyes wide.

"Nani?" said InuYasha, his attention returning to the figure.

Kagura growled lightly before jumping up again. "FUUJIN NO MAI!" She said launching a large barrage of wind blades towards either side of the figure. They hit right where he was standing sending a large cloud of dust and dirt into the air. Kagura smirked, landing back on the ground.

The dust began to clear. Kagura was shocked at what she was seeing. Beyond the dust the figure stood. A blade of energy sprouted from each hand. "..Can't..be.." Kagura said in shock. Everyone was gasping at what was occurring.

A thought suddenly struck InuYasha. "Kagome." he said.

"Hmm?" she responded.

"I want you to try something." He said, "Fire your arrow at that guy."

Kagome looked at him funny for a second before nodding. She pulled a arrow from the quiver behind her back and knocked it in her bow. She aimed at the figure and released. "Strike!" She yelled. As the arrow flew forward, it was surrounded by the whiteness of her holy power and flew towards the figure.

Serp turned at the sound of Kagome's voice, just in time to see the comet like arrow flying towards him. He moved his hand up to block it but it landed square in his shoulder near the edge of his hood. "Yes!" Kagome said. But as she looked closer she noticed something odd. "Nani.." she said.

As everyone looked the power that was surrounding the arrow had no affect on the figure. The arrow just stuck there. As everyone watched, Serp looked at his shoulder. The blade on his left hand shrunk to nothing and he reached over and pulled out the arrow. With it part of his cloak was ripped off, revealing part of the scaly dark green beneath it.

"I knew it." said InuYasha looking down.

"Huh?" said Kagome to him.

"He isn't a youkai, he isn't even a hanyou. He is...something else..." "Can't be!" said Miroku and Sango together before turning their attention back to the figure.

Serp reached his left hand up, pulling back his now partly tattered hood. Everyone stared. His face was inhuman. It was a dark green color and was covered with scales as his hands and feet were. He had no hair upon his head, which was elongated and lizard like. His pupils were were slitted and red. As everyone looked on upon him a forked tongue flicked out of his mouth before immediately darting back in. He smiled.

Everyone was shuddering from looking upon this being. Shippou hid behind Miroku, looking just over his shoulder. "My god..." Miroku said.

"Serp will suffice." Serp said looking towards Miroku, grinning.
