Chapter 1: A Trail of Destruction
A/N: I do not own Inuyasha. I'm just a loyal fan.
A/N: In my Inuyasha fanfictions Sesshomaru's healing sword is spelled Tenseiga and Inuyasha's sword is spelled Tetsusaiga. So now on with the story.
~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`
Kaede was just coming back from treating two villagers with fever. As she walked in the sunny day she thought "I wonder what Kagome and Inuyasha are doing. It's been very quiet today. Maybe those two have finally gotten along." A villager walked up to Kaede. "Lady Kaede, I was wonder if I could ask..." "Inuyasha!! I have to go I have three tests and I haven't been home in a week!" Kagome yelled. She sounded like she was in the shrine. "No wench! I can't let you go. You have to stay here!" "Sit boy!!" Kaede could hear the distinct slam of Inuyasha into the ground. Kagome burst out of the shrine hauling her huge yellow backpack. On the way out she yelled to Kaede "Kaede could you tell Miroku and Sango to look after Shippo while I'm gone and tell them to keep Inuyasha here!" She startled Kaede so much that Kaede nearly fell down if the villager hadn't caught her.
"Wench get back here!!" Inuyasha screamed. He burst through the roof of the shrine. He took another jump and soared over the trees toward Kagome. "Sit!" "What? No.....ahhh!" Inuyasha plummeted toward to the ground from at least 50 feet in the air. As he fell he grabbed a branch of a nearby tree. The prayer beads were still pulling him down though, so from neck down he was being pulled down. Inuyasha got his other hand onto the branch and started pulling himself up. When his head was above the branch, he took a breather. "Ha! Wench it didn't work!" "Crack......" Inuyasha looked at the branch. It was breaking. "No!!!!!!!!" For two seconds Inuyasha was grabbing air. Then "Crash!!!!". He was on the ground. "Cra....cre.....crack!!!!!" "Oww my back!!!!!!!!!!" Inuyasha screamed. As he screamed Kagome jumped into the Bone Eater's Well.
~`~`~`~`~`~ (In present time)~`~`~`~`~`~`~`
As the light from the well stopped glowing Kagome apppeared at the bottom of the well. She grabbed the rope and started pulling herself up. " You know its amazing how even though I've almost used everything in this pack it's still just as heavy. " Kagome thought. As she neared the lip of the well she tossed her bag over the well. Then she climbed out.
As she ran toward the house, her grandpa was sweeping the grounds. " Hi grandpa. Gotta go. See ya later. " and with that Kagome ran off into the house. " But Kagome you can't be back yet. I just came up with some great diseases for you! Kagome! Oh never mind...and I was just going to start with a coma too. "
Kagome entered her house and took off her shoes.She started up the stairs to her room. " Kagome are you back already? " Kagome turned around. At the foot of the stairs was her mom. " Oh yeah mom. I have to study for three tests. " " Ok dear. Is your dog friend here too? " " Inuyasha? Why would he be here? " " Well you seem to really like him, so...." " Mom! I do not like him. At least not in the way you're saying. " " What do you mean? I just thought he was your friend. But you seem a bit anxious to say he's not your boyfriend.. ". " Mom! " " Ok dear. I'll let you go to study. But remember, denial is not healthy. " and with that last comment Kagome's mom walked toward the kitchen.
Kagome stood at the top of the stairs gaping at where her mom stood. She went into her room and laid down on her bed. She looked up at the ceiling. "How can mom think I actually like that rude, inconsiderate, arrogant, stubborn demon? Even if he is brave and always protecting me. And sweet when he wants to be. And those cute ears. Besides ..." Kagome turned to look at the wall. "....all he cares about is Kikyo."
~`~`~`~`~`(Back on the other side of the well)~`~`~`~`~`~`~`
"Inuyasha remember to cover up the whole hole. I don't want to get wet when rain comes." Kaede told Inuyasha. " I know you old hag. It is the fifth time you've said it." Inuyasha yelled back. Inuyasha was currently fixing the roof of the shrine. 'Why do I have to to fix this stupid roof anyway? Besides I'm hurt remember? From what Kagome did to me?" Inuyasha asked as he lifted yet another log.
"Well you were the one who crashed through the roof." Miroku said. Miroku was standing next to Kaede. He was holding his staff in his left hand and his right hand was in praying position. "And I would help you but I seem to have a headache right now." Actually there was four huge bumps on Miroku's head. " Why you?!" Inuyasha picked a a large log and threw it at Miroku. Miroku dodged it. "You got that headache from groping Sango again and you know it!"
" Besides Inuyasha you are always talking about how you heal much faster than a normal human. And you've survived entire arms thrust through your stomach." Sango added. Sango was walking toward Inuyasha and the others. She was also carrying Shippo in her arms. " Yeah Inuyasha. You always tell Kagome she doesn't need to treat your wounds. You're proabably just shy around Kagome." Shippo said. Inuyasha threw another log at Sango and Shippo.
But this time Miroku knocked it away with his staff this time. " Inuyasha you can't go around throwing heavy objects at beautiful ladies such as, Lady Sango." Miroku said. " Why thank you monk." said Sango though suprise was in her voice. " Of course my dear Sango." *Grope, grope* " Pervert! " and Sango knocked Miroku down with the log that Inuyasha threw at them. Miroku laid on the ground with swirly eyes.
Miroku started to get up. "Sango why did...?" Miroku was knocked out again this time by a log thrown by Inuyasha. "That's for not helping!" and with that Inuyasha continued on the roof.
Shippo was poking on Miroku to see if he was still alive. Suddenly Miroku sat up. "I sense a demon coming!" Miroku yelled. Inuyasha stood up on the roof. He drew out the Tetsusaiga and put his ears and nose into trying to find the enemy. Sango got ready to throw her Hiraikotsu. (A/N: For those of you who don't know that's the boomerang Sango uses.) Miroku stood up with some help from Shippo. "I see it!" Sango yelled. There was a whirlwind coming at them at a high speed.
Inuyasha sheathed the Tetsusaiga. " It's only Koga, that wimpy wolf." he said. Inuyasha bent down to start on the roof again. Sango and Miroku eased up. " Hey, he isn't stopping." Shippo said. The whirlwind leaped up when it got near them. " Huh? " Inuyasha looked up. " Boom! " Koga had crashed into Inuyasha and both of them fell through the roof, ruining all of the repair work.
Both Sango and Miroku looked at the shrine. " Shippo, Lady Kaede go to the village! " Miroku yelled. "Boom!" Koga went flying out of one of the shrine's walls. Inuyasha rushed with Tetsusaiga fully drawn and rushing at Koga. " You bastard! You know how long it took me to fucking fix that roof?!" Inuyasha yelled. He swung the Tetsusaiga down on Koga. Or at least where Koga would be if Koga hadn't jumped up into the sky using the jewel shards in his legs. So instead the Tetsusaiga his the ground which cracked the ground with the force of Inuyasha's swing.
"This is for slaughtering my pack, dog turd!" Koga kicked at Inuyasha by plummeting from the air straight onto Inuyasha's back. Inuyasha slammed face-first into the ground. Then Koga kicked off Inuyasha's back. But before Koga could make a clear jump away, Inuyasha picked himself up and swung the Tetsusaiga around at Koga. Koga manuevered his body so that only mostly the side of the Tetsusaiga hit him in the abdomen. "I thought we went over that stupid issue!" Inuyasha yelled as he swung at Koga.
Koga rolled on the ground a bit but managed to stop. He was kneeling on the ground holding the left side of his stomach. He was breathing heavily. After a few seconds Koga picked himself up. Inuyasha also picked himself up. He also picked a rock of his head and threw it away. Just so happened he threw it at the direction of the shrine. So the rock caused a hole next to the one Koga flew out of.
Koga stood glaring at Inuyasha. "I'm not talking about that time, dog- turd. I'm talking about the slaughtering of my pack that happened yesterday." Koga spoke coldly. "How are you so sure it was Inuyasha?" Sango asked. Koga turned to look at Sango and Miroku. He look startled for a second, like he just noticed them, but he quickly turned back to glare at Inuyasha. "The few survivors that came back told me it was a dog demon that attacked them." Koga emphisized on the word few. "Excuse but even though dog demons are a bit rare, Inuyasha can't be the only dog demon." Miroku said. "Yeah wolf. Why don't you try my brother? He's a dog demon too." Inuyasha added.
"Humph. I know dog turd here can't be the only dog demon. But the survivors also mentioned that the dog demon wasn't all demon. He smelled part human." Koga said with a smirk. He clenched both of his hands into fists by his side. At this remark none of the three could reply. At last Inuyasha said "FIne. But I can't be the only half dog demon. How can you be so sure it was me?", even as Inuyasha said this he raised the Tetsusaiga into fighting position. The look in Koga's eyes told him Koga wouldn't be easily persuaded.
"Because the final important detail about the demon was that he carried a sword. A sword which slayed many of my pack in one swing. And Tetsusaiga is the only sword I know that can do that." Koga answered. At this remark all three of them were stunned. "But Inuyasha has been with us for the last two weeks." Miroku said. "Like I would believe you lying scum!" Koga yelled. With those last words, Koga charged at Inuyasha.
Koga punched Inuyasha right in the gut. Then he delivered a series of kicks to both sides of Inuyasha's stomach. Then Koga dropped to the ground and using his arms pushed himself up feet-first which landed straight into Inuyasha's chest which caused Inuyasha to fly up into the air. Then by jumping up Koga was above Inuyasha in the air. Inuyasha was still in shock from Koga's speed. Koga landed a powerful punch with his right arm, which possessed a jewel shard, straight onto Inuyasha's chest. Inuyasha plummeted down and crashed heavily into the ground creating a crater in the ground. Koga landed a few feet away from the crater Inuyasha created. Inuyasha started to stand up with help by leaning on the Tetsusaiga.
"How is Koga able to defeat Inuyasha so easily? Before Inuyasha could always make Koga run just by lifting the Tetsusaiga." Miroku asked Sango. "I've heard about this from other demon slayers. They say that when a wolf demon is killed the rest of the pack's strength can double or triple. The killing of that many of Koga's pack must be giving Koga the strength to fight Inuyasha as he is now. Koga probably also has a few more jewel shards than last time." Sango told Miroku. "Monk this is no time for that so move your hand or lose it." "Of course Sango, but should we help Inuyasha?" "Yes Inuyasha seems to need our help."
"And now dog turd its time that you paid for killing my pack." Koga said. Energy waves seemed to pour from Koga's body. "Give me your best try. But I'll still kick your ass!" Inuyasha declared. He stood up and prepared to strike with the Tetsusaiga. "Die Inuyasha!" Koga charged at Inuyasha. Koga's eyes were red with fury. Suddenly Miroku appeared in front of Inuyasha with his staff in a defense position. "You're too injured to fight Inuyasha. You let your guard down early in the fight." "I don't need your help Miroku. Just get out of the way!" "No Inuyasha."
"Get out of the way monk!" Koga yelled. Miroku turned his full attention at Koga. "Fine." Koga snarled. He pushed himself into the air by using Miroku's shoulders. Then doing a twist in the air to right himself he started falling towards Inuyasha with his right leg poised to kick. But the kick never landed on Inuyasha. Instead Sango had blocked the kick with the Hiraikotsu. Koga kicked off the boomerang and landed away from Inuyasha again. Both Sango and Miroku stood in front of Inuyasha ready to attack.
" I suggest you two move. I have no need to kill you two." Koga said. "Koga, Inuyasha was here with us. He couldn't of went and killed your pack." Sango argued. "It has to be Inuyasha! he is the only part dog demon who wields a sword able to kill a lot of my pack and half the mountain. Suddenly Inuyasha ears perked up at that last comment. "Destroy half a mountain?" Inuyasha thought. "I can't do that, even with the Tetsusaiga."
"Now I kill you all!" Koga screamed. This snapped Inuyasha out of his thoughts. :"Move!" Inuyasha yelled. He pushed Miroku and Sango aside. He raised the Tetsusaiga and swung it downwards with all his might. "Wind Scar!" Three blasts of destructive energy flew from the blade and went for Koga. Koga stared wide-eyed at the attack. Then he gathered his disposition and gave a grunt. He jumped high enough to dodge the Wind Scar. He yelled "Inuyasha I will kill you!" , and then by spinning his body he became his usual whirlwind. But instead of falling on the ground he just keep spinning in the air and started flying back to his pack.
Inuyasha panted but then drew himself to his full height. He sheathed then Tetsusaiga. "Inuyasha did you kill Koga's pack?" Inuyasha turned to look Miroku. He had a vein on his forehead throbbing. "Of course I didn't slaughter his stupid pack!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Inuyasha! Is it ok to come back yet? If it isn't I brought help!" Shippo was riding on Kirara's back, up the steps to the shrine. Shippo stared at them. "Inuyasha what happened to the shrine?" Shippo asked. Inuyasha, Miroku, and Sango turned around and looked at the shrine. "Ahhhh!" Inuyasha screamed. "Wow." "I agree Lady Sango."
On one half of the shrine there was one big hole where Koga flew out of. Then next to it there was a smaller hole made by the rock Inuyasha threw. There were also many cracks in the wall. The repair work on the roof, done by Inuyasha was gone and the hole was even bigger. The other half was completely gone.
"How did that happen?" Sango asked. "I guess Inuyasha didn't notice Koga in front of the shrine when he used the Wind Scar." Miroku said. Inuyasha started walking away toward the forest. "Where are you going, Inuyasha?" Shippo asked. "I'm going befor that old hag starts telling me to fix the whole shrine." Inuyasha said and before they could blink he was in the trees.
~`~`~`~`~`~`(Inuyasha's POV)~`~`~`~`~`~`~`
"Did I slaughter that wimpy wolf's pack? No it can't be. But......but it sounds like me. A part dog demon wielding a sword able to kill a lot of demons in one swing. Maybe it was Sesshomaru. But...he's all demon. It could be some other half-demon. But....there can't be that many swords like Tetsusaiga around. Grrr...this is frustrating. Besides who cares? It's only that stupid Koga's pack. None of my concern. Man I need to get Kagome. She's been gone too long." Inuyasha jumped down from his tree and ran towards the Bone Eater's Well.
~`~`~`~`~`(Back to my POV)~`~`~`~`~`~```
When Inuyasha got to the Bone Eater's Well Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and Kirara were standing near it. "What are you guys doing here?" "Kagome thought you would of ran after her early so she told us to guard the well from you." Shippo said. "But we didn't think you would come this soon." Sango added. "Yes, appparently your love for Lady Kagome has made you come earlier than usual." Miroku said.
"I don't love her you fucking idiot." Inuyasha yelled. "Miroku you're wrong. Inuyasha always treat her badly." Shippo argued. "I do not treat her badly!" Inuyasha yelled. Inuyasha turned to Sango. "And aren't you supposed to hit him for what he said?!!" Inuyasha yelled. "Nope I actually agree with Miroku." Sango replied.
"He's running away!" Shippo cried. "Huh?" They all turned around. Inuyasha was running towards the well. "Wind Tunnel!" The wind tunnel on Miroku's right hand pulled Inuyasha towards Miroku. Just before Inuyasha was lost forever. Miroku stopped the wind tunnel and put Inuyasha in a headlock. "Come on you're going back to the village. We've heard a rumor that there's another jewel shard in a nearby village." And the four walked away while Shippo was carried by Kirara.
The next day Inuyasha and company was traveling towards a village that recently had been rumored to have seen a demon with a shard of the Shikon jewel. "Miroku are you sure there was a shard this way?" Sango asked. "Well I heard there was a very powerful demon this way." Miroku said. "What?! You came here because of a rumor of a powerful demon? That doesn't mean it has to possess jewel shards! If you had let me get Kagome...." Inuyasha ranted. "If had let you get Kagome, she would of sat you until you could never move." Miroku said. "Feh...like that girl could ever hurt me." Inuyasha bragged. Sango whispered to Miroku "Then why was he complaining about his back yesterday?" "I heard that!" Inuyasha yelled back.
"Inuyasha!" "Huh?" Inuyasha turned. "Where's Shippo?" Sango asked. Inuyasha ran toward the scream. Sango and Miroku followed. They saw Inuyasha up ahead fighting at least four huge demons. Shippo was gripping Kirara's fur as two demons advanced on them. There were also a few other demons surrounding them. "Hiraikotsu!" Sango yelled as she threw her boomerang. It sliced through two of the demons Inuyasha was fighting. Miroku turned to a few demons that were farther away from Inuyasha and the others. "Wind Tunnel!" Miroku's wind tunnel pulled in the demons.Suddenly all the demons turned to attack Inuyasha. "WInd Scar!" and for the second time in two days, the Wind Scar was used.
"Everybody alright?! Inuyasha yelled. "Yea." Shippo said. "We're fine." Miroku said. Miroku was helping Sango get up. But his hand reached just a little bit too low. "Pervert!" "Boom!" Miroku was down with twirly eyes on the ground. "Stupid monk." Inuyasha muttered as he sheathed the Tetsusaiga. "Inuyasha I think you should see this!" Shippo yelled. "What is it now?" Inuyasha grumbled as he went towards the direction Shippo's call came from. Sango followed him as MIroku got up. "I think she hits harder every time," he said while rubbing his head. But then he smiled. "but it was so worth it."
MIroku walked up to the group they were on a cliff. He hadn't heard Inuyasha complain so he thought something was wrong. "What's wrong guys?" Miroku said as he walked towards them brushing himself off. He looked up. "Oh my god." Miroku looked at the land beyond the cliff. There was a very large village. But it was totally destroyed. The houses were wrecked. Countless villagers bodies lay on. Or at least parts of villager's bodies. There were also three large worm demons partly burrowed under the ground. The other part was above ground wrecking the houses. Not to mention many other smaller demons wandering the village tearing apart at buildings. Some demons were also feeding on the human body parts. Occasionally one demon would kill another demon which explained the dead demons on the ground. There were also many flying demons that went diving into the village makeing devastating damage.
Suddenly the flying demons noticed them. They all flew towards them at high speeds. Inuyasha drew out the Tetsusaiga and prepared to attack with the windscar. "Shippo go hide." Inuyasha said. "No!" Shippo said. "Fine! Wind..." Just as Inuyasha was about to use the Wind Scar, Miroku stopped him. "No you and Sango must go look for survivors and take care of the demons in the village. My wind tunnel will have a better affect against these demons. Shippo stand behind me." Miroku let loose the prayer beads on his right hand. "Wind Tunnel!" The flying demons were pulled into the void.
"Meanwhile Sango, Inuyasha, and Kirara went down the cliffside. The killed the demons running loose in the village. After Miroku was done with the flying demons he came to help too. Shippo was on top of Kirara throwing the occasional "fox fire". After killing all the demons there they look for any survivors. "I'm kinda glad Kagome's not here," Inuyasha said "I wouldn't want her to see this kind of carnage."
"Inuyasha! I found something." Miroku called. All of them rushed to Miroku. He was helping and old man lean against a wall. "Sir, can you tell us what happened here?" Sango asked. The old man looked up at them. His eyes showed a great fear. "It was a dog demon. He walked into down. Then he pulled out a sword. And he swung it in the direction of the forest and the cliff." His eyes grew wider with fear. "Then every demon that was killed there seemed to come alive again. They all rushed down here. They attacked the village without mercy. The demons even attacked that dog demon. But he killed all that tried to attack him. He showed the kind of power you only hear from stories of the infamous Inutaisho."
"Did he transform to a huge dog.?" Miroku asked. "He didn't transform. He couldn't. He wasn't all demon. Trust me I know about demons." the old man said. "Then what happened?" Sango asked. "The demons decided not to waste their lives trying to kill this demon. They turned their attack full force on the village. The dog demon then walked out of the village." "Can you describe him?" Inuyasha asked. "He....." the man started to cough nonstop. "He....." the man coughed but before he could finish the sentence, he died. They all bowed their heads. A minute later Miroku said "We should work on burying the bodies. Tomorrow we'll head back to the village." Inuyasha was oddly silent.
As Inuyasha dug graves with Miroku he thought "This has got to be the same guy as the guy who slaughtered Koga's pack. I mean how many half demons can there be? Who is he?"

A/N:Please review. I'd also appreciate any info on the Tetsusaiga and the Tenseiga.
A/N: I do not own Inuyasha. I'm just a loyal fan.
A/N: In my Inuyasha fanfictions Sesshomaru's healing sword is spelled Tenseiga and Inuyasha's sword is spelled Tetsusaiga. So now on with the story.

Kaede was just coming back from treating two villagers with fever. As she walked in the sunny day she thought "I wonder what Kagome and Inuyasha are doing. It's been very quiet today. Maybe those two have finally gotten along." A villager walked up to Kaede. "Lady Kaede, I was wonder if I could ask..." "Inuyasha!! I have to go I have three tests and I haven't been home in a week!" Kagome yelled. She sounded like she was in the shrine. "No wench! I can't let you go. You have to stay here!" "Sit boy!!" Kaede could hear the distinct slam of Inuyasha into the ground. Kagome burst out of the shrine hauling her huge yellow backpack. On the way out she yelled to Kaede "Kaede could you tell Miroku and Sango to look after Shippo while I'm gone and tell them to keep Inuyasha here!" She startled Kaede so much that Kaede nearly fell down if the villager hadn't caught her.
"Wench get back here!!" Inuyasha screamed. He burst through the roof of the shrine. He took another jump and soared over the trees toward Kagome. "Sit!" "What? No.....ahhh!" Inuyasha plummeted toward to the ground from at least 50 feet in the air. As he fell he grabbed a branch of a nearby tree.

When his head was above the branch, he took a breather. "Ha! Wench it didn't work!" "Crack......" Inuyasha looked at the branch. It was breaking. "No!!!!!!!!" For two seconds Inuyasha was grabbing air. Then "Crash!!!!". He was on the ground. "Cra....cre.....crack!!!!!" "Oww my back!!!!!!!!!!" Inuyasha screamed. As he screamed Kagome jumped into the Bone Eater's Well.
~`~`~`~`~`~ (In present time)~`~`~`~`~`~`~`
As the light from the well stopped glowing Kagome apppeared at the bottom of the well. She grabbed the rope and started pulling herself up. " You know its amazing how even though I've almost used everything in this pack it's still just as heavy. " Kagome thought. As she neared the lip of the well she tossed her bag over the well.

As she ran toward the house, her grandpa was sweeping the grounds. " Hi grandpa. Gotta go. See ya later. " and with that Kagome ran off into the house. " But Kagome you can't be back yet. I just came up with some great diseases for you! Kagome! Oh never mind...and I was just going to start with a coma too. "
Kagome entered her house and took off her shoes.She started up the stairs to her room. " Kagome are you back already? " Kagome turned around. At the foot of the stairs was her mom. " Oh yeah mom. I have to study for three tests. " " Ok dear. Is your dog friend here too? " " Inuyasha? Why would he be here? " " Well you seem to really like him, so...." " Mom! I do not like him. At least not in the way you're saying. " " What do you mean? I just thought he was your friend. But you seem a bit anxious to say he's not your boyfriend.. ". " Mom! " " Ok dear. I'll let you go to study. But remember, denial is not healthy. " and with that last comment Kagome's mom walked toward the kitchen.
Kagome stood at the top of the stairs gaping at where her mom stood. She went into her room and laid down on her bed. She looked up at the ceiling. "How can mom think I actually like that rude, inconsiderate, arrogant, stubborn demon? Even if he is brave and always protecting me. And sweet when he wants to be. And those cute ears. Besides ..." Kagome turned to look at the wall. "....all he cares about is Kikyo."
~`~`~`~`~`(Back on the other side of the well)~`~`~`~`~`~`~`
"Inuyasha remember to cover up the whole hole. I don't want to get wet when rain comes." Kaede told Inuyasha. " I know you old hag. It is the fifth time you've said it." Inuyasha yelled back. Inuyasha was currently fixing the roof of the shrine. 'Why do I have to to fix this stupid roof anyway? Besides I'm hurt remember? From what Kagome did to me?" Inuyasha asked as he lifted yet another log.
"Well you were the one who crashed through the roof." Miroku said. Miroku was standing next to Kaede. He was holding his staff in his left hand and his right hand was in praying position. "And I would help you but I seem to have a headache right now." Actually there was four huge bumps on Miroku's head. " Why you?!" Inuyasha picked a a large log and threw it at Miroku. Miroku dodged it. "You got that headache from groping Sango again and you know it!"
" Besides Inuyasha you are always talking about how you heal much faster than a normal human. And you've survived entire arms thrust through your stomach." Sango added. Sango was walking toward Inuyasha and the others. She was also carrying Shippo in her arms. " Yeah Inuyasha. You always tell Kagome she doesn't need to treat your wounds. You're proabably just shy around Kagome." Shippo said. Inuyasha threw another log at Sango and Shippo.
But this time Miroku knocked it away with his staff this time. " Inuyasha you can't go around throwing heavy objects at beautiful ladies such as, Lady Sango." Miroku said. " Why thank you monk." said Sango though suprise was in her voice. " Of course my dear Sango." *Grope, grope* " Pervert! " and Sango knocked Miroku down with the log that Inuyasha threw at them. Miroku laid on the ground with swirly eyes.
Miroku started to get up. "Sango why did...?" Miroku was knocked out again this time by a log thrown by Inuyasha. "That's for not helping!" and with that Inuyasha continued on the roof.
Shippo was poking on Miroku to see if he was still alive. Suddenly Miroku sat up. "I sense a demon coming!" Miroku yelled. Inuyasha stood up on the roof. He drew out the Tetsusaiga and put his ears and nose into trying to find the enemy. Sango got ready to throw her Hiraikotsu. (A/N: For those of you who don't know that's the boomerang Sango uses.) Miroku stood up with some help from Shippo. "I see it!" Sango yelled. There was a whirlwind coming at them at a high speed.
Inuyasha sheathed the Tetsusaiga. " It's only Koga, that wimpy wolf." he said. Inuyasha bent down to start on the roof again. Sango and Miroku eased up. " Hey, he isn't stopping." Shippo said. The whirlwind leaped up when it got near them. " Huh? " Inuyasha looked up. " Boom! " Koga had crashed into Inuyasha and both of them fell through the roof, ruining all of the repair work.
Both Sango and Miroku looked at the shrine. " Shippo, Lady Kaede go to the village! " Miroku yelled. "Boom!" Koga went flying out of one of the shrine's walls. Inuyasha rushed with Tetsusaiga fully drawn and rushing at Koga. " You bastard! You know how long it took me to fucking fix that roof?!" Inuyasha yelled. He swung the Tetsusaiga down on Koga. Or at least where Koga would be if Koga hadn't jumped up into the sky using the jewel shards in his legs. So instead the Tetsusaiga his the ground which cracked the ground with the force of Inuyasha's swing.
"This is for slaughtering my pack, dog turd!" Koga kicked at Inuyasha by plummeting from the air straight onto Inuyasha's back. Inuyasha slammed face-first into the ground. Then Koga kicked off Inuyasha's back. But before Koga could make a clear jump away, Inuyasha picked himself up and swung the Tetsusaiga around at Koga.

"The few survivors that came back told me it was a dog demon that attacked them." Koga emphisized on the word few. "Excuse but even though dog demons are a bit rare, Inuyasha can't be the only dog demon." Miroku said. "Yeah wolf. Why don't you try my brother? He's a dog demon too." Inuyasha added.
"Humph. I know dog turd here can't be the only dog demon. But the survivors also mentioned that the dog demon wasn't all demon. He smelled part human." Koga said with a smirk. He clenched both of his hands into fists by his side. At this remark none of the three could reply. At last Inuyasha said "FIne. But I can't be the only half dog demon. How can you be so sure it was me?", even as Inuyasha said this he raised the Tetsusaiga into fighting position. The look in Koga's eyes told him Koga wouldn't be easily persuaded.
"Because the final important detail about the demon was that he carried a sword. A sword which slayed many of my pack in one swing. And Tetsusaiga is the only sword I know that can do that." Koga answered. At this remark all three of them were stunned. "But Inuyasha has been with us for the last two weeks." Miroku said. "Like I would believe you lying scum!" Koga yelled. With those last words, Koga charged at Inuyasha.
Koga punched Inuyasha right in the gut. Then he delivered a series of kicks to both sides of Inuyasha's stomach. Then Koga dropped to the ground and using his arms pushed himself up feet-first which landed straight into Inuyasha's chest which caused Inuyasha to fly up into the air. Then by jumping up Koga was above Inuyasha in the air. Inuyasha was still in shock from Koga's speed. Koga landed a powerful punch with his right arm, which possessed a jewel shard, straight onto Inuyasha's chest. Inuyasha plummeted down and crashed heavily into the ground creating a crater in the ground. Koga landed a few feet away from the crater Inuyasha created. Inuyasha started to stand up with help by leaning on the Tetsusaiga.
"How is Koga able to defeat Inuyasha so easily? Before Inuyasha could always make Koga run just by lifting the Tetsusaiga." Miroku asked Sango. "I've heard about this from other demon slayers. They say that when a wolf demon is killed the rest of the pack's strength can double or triple. The killing of that many of Koga's pack must be giving Koga the strength to fight Inuyasha as he is now. Koga probably also has a few more jewel shards than last time." Sango told Miroku. "Monk this is no time for that so move your hand or lose it." "Of course Sango, but should we help Inuyasha?" "Yes Inuyasha seems to need our help."
"And now dog turd its time that you paid for killing my pack." Koga said. Energy waves seemed to pour from Koga's body. "Give me your best try. But I'll still kick your ass!" Inuyasha declared. He stood up and prepared to strike with the Tetsusaiga. "Die Inuyasha!" Koga charged at Inuyasha. Koga's eyes were red with fury. Suddenly Miroku appeared in front of Inuyasha with his staff in a defense position. "You're too injured to fight Inuyasha. You let your guard down early in the fight." "I don't need your help Miroku. Just get out of the way!" "No Inuyasha."
"Get out of the way monk!" Koga yelled. Miroku turned his full attention at Koga. "Fine." Koga snarled. He pushed himself into the air by using Miroku's shoulders. Then doing a twist in the air to right himself he started falling towards Inuyasha with his right leg poised to kick. But the kick never landed on Inuyasha. Instead Sango had blocked the kick with the Hiraikotsu. Koga kicked off the boomerang and landed away from Inuyasha again. Both Sango and Miroku stood in front of Inuyasha ready to attack.
" I suggest you two move. I have no need to kill you two." Koga said. "Koga, Inuyasha was here with us. He couldn't of went and killed your pack." Sango argued. "It has to be Inuyasha! he is the only part dog demon who wields a sword able to kill a lot of my pack and half the mountain. Suddenly Inuyasha ears perked up at that last comment. "Destroy half a mountain?" Inuyasha thought. "I can't do that, even with the Tetsusaiga."
"Now I kill you all!" Koga screamed. This snapped Inuyasha out of his thoughts. :"Move!" Inuyasha yelled. He pushed Miroku and Sango aside. He raised the Tetsusaiga and swung it downwards with all his might. "Wind Scar!" Three blasts of destructive energy flew from the blade and went for Koga. Koga stared wide-eyed at the attack. Then he gathered his disposition and gave a grunt. He jumped high enough to dodge the Wind Scar. He yelled "Inuyasha I will kill you!" , and then by spinning his body he became his usual whirlwind. But instead of falling on the ground he just keep spinning in the air and started flying back to his pack.
Inuyasha panted but then drew himself to his full height. He sheathed then Tetsusaiga. "Inuyasha did you kill Koga's pack?" Inuyasha turned to look Miroku. He had a vein on his forehead throbbing. "Of course I didn't slaughter his stupid pack!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Inuyasha! Is it ok to come back yet? If it isn't I brought help!" Shippo was riding on Kirara's back, up the steps to the shrine. Shippo stared at them. "Inuyasha what happened to the shrine?" Shippo asked. Inuyasha, Miroku, and Sango turned around and looked at the shrine. "Ahhhh!" Inuyasha screamed. "Wow." "I agree Lady Sango."
On one half of the shrine there was one big hole where Koga flew out of. Then next to it there was a smaller hole made by the rock Inuyasha threw. There were also many cracks in the wall. The repair work on the roof, done by Inuyasha was gone and the hole was even bigger. The other half was completely gone.
"How did that happen?" Sango asked. "I guess Inuyasha didn't notice Koga in front of the shrine when he used the Wind Scar." Miroku said. Inuyasha started walking away toward the forest. "Where are you going, Inuyasha?" Shippo asked. "I'm going befor that old hag starts telling me to fix the whole shrine." Inuyasha said and before they could blink he was in the trees.
~`~`~`~`~`~`(Inuyasha's POV)~`~`~`~`~`~`~`
"Did I slaughter that wimpy wolf's pack? No it can't be. But......but it sounds like me. A part dog demon wielding a sword able to kill a lot of demons in one swing. Maybe it was Sesshomaru. But...he's all demon. It could be some other half-demon. But....there can't be that many swords like Tetsusaiga around. Grrr...this is frustrating. Besides who cares? It's only that stupid Koga's pack. None of my concern. Man I need to get Kagome. She's been gone too long." Inuyasha jumped down from his tree and ran towards the Bone Eater's Well.
~`~`~`~`~`(Back to my POV)~`~`~`~`~`~```
When Inuyasha got to the Bone Eater's Well Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and Kirara were standing near it. "What are you guys doing here?" "Kagome thought you would of ran after her early so she told us to guard the well from you." Shippo said. "But we didn't think you would come this soon." Sango added. "Yes, appparently your love for Lady Kagome has made you come earlier than usual." Miroku said.
"I don't love her you fucking idiot." Inuyasha yelled. "Miroku you're wrong. Inuyasha always treat her badly." Shippo argued. "I do not treat her badly!" Inuyasha yelled. Inuyasha turned to Sango. "And aren't you supposed to hit him for what he said?!!" Inuyasha yelled. "Nope I actually agree with Miroku." Sango replied.
"He's running away!" Shippo cried. "Huh?" They all turned around. Inuyasha was running towards the well. "Wind Tunnel!" The wind tunnel on Miroku's right hand pulled Inuyasha towards Miroku. Just before Inuyasha was lost forever. Miroku stopped the wind tunnel and put Inuyasha in a headlock. "Come on you're going back to the village. We've heard a rumor that there's another jewel shard in a nearby village." And the four walked away while Shippo was carried by Kirara.
The next day Inuyasha and company was traveling towards a village that recently had been rumored to have seen a demon with a shard of the Shikon jewel. "Miroku are you sure there was a shard this way?" Sango asked. "Well I heard there was a very powerful demon this way." Miroku said. "What?! You came here because of a rumor of a powerful demon? That doesn't mean it has to possess jewel shards! If you had let me get Kagome...." Inuyasha ranted. "If had let you get Kagome, she would of sat you until you could never move." Miroku said. "Feh...like that girl could ever hurt me." Inuyasha bragged. Sango whispered to Miroku "Then why was he complaining about his back yesterday?" "I heard that!" Inuyasha yelled back.
"Inuyasha!" "Huh?" Inuyasha turned. "Where's Shippo?" Sango asked. Inuyasha ran toward the scream. Sango and Miroku followed. They saw Inuyasha up ahead fighting at least four huge demons. Shippo was gripping Kirara's fur as two demons advanced on them. There were also a few other demons surrounding them. "Hiraikotsu!" Sango yelled as she threw her boomerang. It sliced through two of the demons Inuyasha was fighting. Miroku turned to a few demons that were farther away from Inuyasha and the others. "Wind Tunnel!" Miroku's wind tunnel pulled in the demons.Suddenly all the demons turned to attack Inuyasha. "WInd Scar!" and for the second time in two days, the Wind Scar was used.
"Everybody alright?! Inuyasha yelled. "Yea." Shippo said. "We're fine." Miroku said. Miroku was helping Sango get up. But his hand reached just a little bit too low. "Pervert!" "Boom!" Miroku was down with twirly eyes on the ground. "Stupid monk." Inuyasha muttered as he sheathed the Tetsusaiga. "Inuyasha I think you should see this!" Shippo yelled. "What is it now?" Inuyasha grumbled as he went towards the direction Shippo's call came from. Sango followed him as MIroku got up. "I think she hits harder every time," he said while rubbing his head. But then he smiled. "but it was so worth it."
MIroku walked up to the group they were on a cliff. He hadn't heard Inuyasha complain so he thought something was wrong. "What's wrong guys?" Miroku said as he walked towards them brushing himself off. He looked up. "Oh my god." Miroku looked at the land beyond the cliff. There was a very large village. But it was totally destroyed. The houses were wrecked. Countless villagers bodies lay on. Or at least parts of villager's bodies. There were also three large worm demons partly burrowed under the ground. The other part was above ground wrecking the houses. Not to mention many other smaller demons wandering the village tearing apart at buildings. Some demons were also feeding on the human body parts. Occasionally one demon would kill another demon which explained the dead demons on the ground. There were also many flying demons that went diving into the village makeing devastating damage.
Suddenly the flying demons noticed them. They all flew towards them at high speeds. Inuyasha drew out the Tetsusaiga and prepared to attack with the windscar. "Shippo go hide." Inuyasha said. "No!" Shippo said. "Fine! Wind..." Just as Inuyasha was about to use the Wind Scar, Miroku stopped him. "No you and Sango must go look for survivors and take care of the demons in the village. My wind tunnel will have a better affect against these demons. Shippo stand behind me." Miroku let loose the prayer beads on his right hand. "Wind Tunnel!" The flying demons were pulled into the void.
"Meanwhile Sango, Inuyasha, and Kirara went down the cliffside. The killed the demons running loose in the village. After Miroku was done with the flying demons he came to help too. Shippo was on top of Kirara throwing the occasional "fox fire". After killing all the demons there they look for any survivors. "I'm kinda glad Kagome's not here," Inuyasha said "I wouldn't want her to see this kind of carnage."
"Inuyasha! I found something." Miroku called. All of them rushed to Miroku. He was helping and old man lean against a wall. "Sir, can you tell us what happened here?" Sango asked. The old man looked up at them. His eyes showed a great fear. "It was a dog demon. He walked into down. Then he pulled out a sword. And he swung it in the direction of the forest and the cliff." His eyes grew wider with fear. "Then every demon that was killed there seemed to come alive again. They all rushed down here. They attacked the village without mercy. The demons even attacked that dog demon. But he killed all that tried to attack him. He showed the kind of power you only hear from stories of the infamous Inutaisho."
"Did he transform to a huge dog.?" Miroku asked. "He didn't transform. He couldn't. He wasn't all demon. Trust me I know about demons." the old man said. "Then what happened?" Sango asked. "The demons decided not to waste their lives trying to kill this demon. They turned their attack full force on the village. The dog demon then walked out of the village." "Can you describe him?" Inuyasha asked. "He....." the man started to cough nonstop. "He....." the man coughed but before he could finish the sentence, he died. They all bowed their heads. A minute later Miroku said "We should work on burying the bodies. Tomorrow we'll head back to the village." Inuyasha was oddly silent.
As Inuyasha dug graves with Miroku he thought "This has got to be the same guy as the guy who slaughtered Koga's pack. I mean how many half demons can there be? Who is he?"
