~The Thunder Dragon Dorako! ~

"AQUA TORENT BLADE!" shouted Nukude, attacking with his sword, appeared a tower of swirling water, gathering sharp debris in its path towards Dorako. But Dorako easily dodged it. "Ha! Is that the best you can do?! THUNDER TOWER!!!" With that attack, a huge bolt of lightning and a loud crash of thunder had knocked Nukude all the way into a well. "Ugh, Tao, see if you can attach yourself, and paralyze him with Kagome's help." With that, Nukude sent Tao to Kagome. "Kagome, shoot your arrow with Tao attached like in the forest!" Nukude shouted. "Right." 'Ok, I cant miss this, if I do, that means I'll miss them all!' Kagome shot the arrow with that last thought, and watched as she hoped to hit him.it barely missed. "Great, plan 2 Kagome! WAKE UP INU-YASHA!" Nukude shouted. "This will be all too simple, I will soon have those shards and become the most powerful half-demon!" Dorako did not waste time attacking, he went in for Miroku, since with the bugs around, he was helpless.

Nukude soon came in front of Miroku, blocking Dorako's attack with his large blade. Knocking him back, Nukude readied another attack, "TWIN DESTINY STRIKE!!!" Nukude ran to Dorako with his sword slashing the ground as he did, he managed to make one attack but the second failed. "Ugh, I've underestimated you, I guess I will have to be serious. "What? You were just playing before? 'He was strong like this, and he was only playing?! Inu- yasha wake up, it couldn't have been that hard!' Kagome worried. "THUNDER BLADE!!!" Dorako shouted, and a bolt of lightning stuck his hands, and it formed into a large blade much like that of Nukude's. He sped in for the attack, "THUNDER CLASH!!!" It was a slow attack, Nukude barely dodged as it had surprised him. Although it was slower, his speed had increased! Nukude dashed back and held his sword up as he was about to attack. They seemed to be equally matched. The blades clashed, and they stared each other down.

"Ugh.what happened."Inu-yasha said as he got up holding his head. "Finally! Inu-yasha, go help Nukude! He's been fighting that demon while you were knocked out. "Hey, it was his fault! He hit me!" Inu-yasha shouted. "Now is not the time for this Inu-yasha! Go!" Kagome shouted back. '*gasp* There! In his legs! The shards!' "Nukude, Inu-yasha, the shards are in his leg! That's what makes him so fast!" Kagome shouted. Nukude and Dorako knocked each other back, as Inu-yasha was closing in. Dorako noticed Inu-yasha's attempt and quickly stopped in front of him. 'He's that fast!? But how, from only 2 shards in his legs?' Inu-yasha thought as he watched Dorako examine him. "Your useless to me, be off with you!" He said as he just blasted Inu-yasha back to the crater. "I only need the shards, and I might spare you." "Well, your fast enough, why don't you just take them?" Inu- yasha said as he got up from the ground. "Naraku wishes for me to kill you in the process. And he'll give me the rest of the shards as I will be more powerful, all thanks to your shards." Dorako said gruffly. "Are you gonna fight for them or what?!" Nukude shouted. "WHY DON'T YOU ATTACK HIM!?" Inu- yasha shot. "I never hit an unready opponent." Nukude replied.

"Hmph, very well, I like a demon with class. Pity I will have to kill you." Dorako said as he walked back to Nukude. "We'll see about that." Inu-yasha did not like Nukude's combat rules, so he dashed in for the attack. Countless attacks were made by Inu-yasha, all successive. Dorako fell to the ground, bloodied and exhausted. For the entire duration his was blocking, every hit. Dorako's eyes glow crimson red, he quickly smashed Inu- yasha into the inn they had stayed in. He ran towards Nukude, blade in hand, and ready for a berserker attack. 'Now.' "TAO PARALYSIS SEAL!" it flew to Dorako's head, but he slashed it out of the way. "10,000 VOLT STRIKE!!!" Dorako gruffly shouted. "Hunh!!!" Nukude cried as he was hit once in the stomach, and blocked for the countless strikes. Nukude's beads began to glow, 'He's too strong, I have too.' "HOLINER BANISHMENT!!!" Nukude took an pose, and his sword gained a rune, The Star of David. He struck hs sword, so fast it left a flash. He had struck Dorako, and he watched as Dorako fell to the ground, disintegrating, leaving 4, not 2, shards. "I'm sorry, I could've saved you." Nukude whispered, as a tear left his cheek.
