Inu: I got some reviews for my last chapter and thanks to those considerate people. This is my longest story yet.

Hiei: They're just sorry for you.

Sesshomaru: How did we end up like this? ( squirms to loosen the ropes around him and Hiei.)

Hiei: It won't work. He's done it to me before, somehow.

Inu: See, old dogs can learn new tricks.

Sesshomaru: I resent that.

Inu: I know you do Fluffy.

Sesshomaru: I swear when I'm out of these ropes I will kill you.

Inu: If you kill me, I'll kill you.

( Sesshomaru looks puzzled)

Sesshomaru: That's.....um......impossible.

Inu: ( big smirk) Shows what you know.

Clash Of Titans

" Inuyasha, why do you do this? Why do you continuously leave me? I could see you, and I know you saw me. Why?" Kagome cries onto the ground.

Taisho watches sympathetically.

' Kagome, trust me Inuyasha wishes to come back. He is more giving than you know.' Taisho thinks as he grasps his chest.

" Kagome, let's head back. The others might be worried." Taisho proposes.

Kagome keeps her head down refusing to move.

" Go away." Kagome answers weakly.

" But we need to...." Taisho starts.

" Go away, Taisho."

Taisho nods and walks towards the woods.

' I'll go away, but I must keep an eye on you.' Taisho mentally says.

Taisho examines the woods.

' Zarcunai was here. Why didn't he attack?' Taisho tries to figure out.

A twig breaks somewhere around him.

" Who's there!" Tasiho demands.

No answer, just another twig breaking.

Taisho gets tense.

' Someone's messing with me.'

" Who is there!" Taisho orders.

/ It's just me./

/ Inuyasha, you're still here?'/

/ Yes, I'm moving too fast to see/

/ But why didn't you explain the situation to her while you were here?/

/ Because, that would worry her. Besides, there's going to be a change of plans./

/ What do you mean, Inuyasha?/

/ Tomorrow, the battle will start./

/ But Inuyasha, your sword won't be molded by then. How do you expect to use that incomplete sword?/

/ I plan to wield it now./

/ Will that be enough?/

/ It better be./

/ Inuyasha, what do you mean? Inuyasha, Inuyasha!/

No reply.

Taisho glances back to Kagome. She's now standing.

" Let's go. I know you're there. I can sense the shard in your heart." Kagome states half-heartedly.

A real sweat drop falls down Taisho's face.

' She knew all along?'

Forest.

' I see Inuyasha is not blinded by his anger anymore. Now I know he has become a full demon, but not a demon. A deity. How can he with stand that much power and not control his demon blood?'

Sesshomaru stops in his tracks.

" Show yourself." Sesshomaru says casually.

" You are smarter than you are told to be." Zarcunai comes out of a shadow of a tree.

" You are another incarnation of Naraku, correct?" Sesshomaru asks.

" That is right. I'm the demon of darkness, Zarcunai. I have a proposition for you, Sesshomaru." Zarcunai says.

" What sort of proposition?"

Zarcunai grins.

" A proposition of alliance."

Dirt Path

There's an uncomfortable silence over the group. Everyone's heard of Inuyasha's recent actions.

' What is Inuyasha doing that's so important? Is it supposed to help us, or is it a selfish.' Kagome muses.

Taisho takes a quick glance at Kagome.

' Has she known I've had a Shikon Jewel shard as a lifeline? She's hasn't even told them. How can she be so trusting?'

" We must find out what Inuyasha is up to." Sango declares having built up the courage to break the silence.

Everyone turns to Sango.

" What do you think he's doing?" Kagome asks harshly.

" I have no idea but....."

" None of us have any idea except......" Kagome turns to Taisho " you."

Toutousai's

" From your demands, despite the time I had. It is finished." Toutousai says.

He holds up a sparkling blade; four wing shaped objects protrude from the top of the handle, the blade is so polished you can see your reflection on it, on the bottom of the handle is a sapphire the size of a newborn's fist.

Inuyasha grabs the sword from Toutousai's hands. Both of his hands fit perfectly on the handle as if made for him. Inuyasha studies every detail of the sword.

" It seems that forging it so early allows me to freely wield it. This really is a change of plans." Inuyasha sighs " It seems that I will have to do it."

" Inuyasha, I fear that the Tetsusaiga is gone forever." Toutousai grieves.

Inuyasha gives the sword a slight swing.

" What should we call it?" Inuyasha asks.

" It's made from your feather you name it." The old swordsmith really seemed confused about speaking about the feather.

Inuyasha looks at the old man angrily.

" I don't know any fancy words, maybe something simple like..... The Blade Of A Fallen Angel." Inuyasha answers holding up his newly acquired sword.

Forest

Taisho is backed up against a tree; the others are staring at him fiercely.

' How did I get cornered?' Taisho mentally kicks himself.

" Tell us what is Inuyasha doing?"

" Where is he?"

" What is he up to?"

Taisho nervously avoids their eyes.

" Tell us!' they demand in unison.

" I cannot tell." Taisho answers.

" Onegai," Kagome makes him look at her " tell us."

Taisho turns his head.

" I can't. I promised Inuyasha."

" Then break it. Tell us."

" One does not break a promise to the son of one's lord." Taisho answers.

" What are you implying?" Miroku asks.

Taisho takes a deep breath. When he releases his hair turns silver and his eyes blue. His ears disappear and in their place two silver dogs ears atop his head. He turns his head to the group's astonished faces.

' Inuyasha's going to kill me.'

" You're a hanyou?" Miroku asks confused.

" Well, actual this is....."

Suddenly Taisho grasps his head.

/ Inuyasha, this is becoming annoying./

/ I am not Inuyasha, I'm far from it. I am Naraku./

/ Naraku!!!/

/ I see the hatred in your heart. The memory of your death, of being killed by your lord's son. Let me access it./

/ Get out of my head./

/ Sai kouwna diho./

/ What are you doing?/

" What's wrong Taisho?"

Taisho's eyes go blank.

" Run, quick." Taisho whispers.

Taisho's features go back to normal. Then two wings emerge from his back, his iris turn a light blue, the upper half of his face turn red, and a gold streak appears through the center of his hair.

" What in the good lord's name?!!?" Miroku curses.

Taisho spreads his wings and takes off between the trees.

" What happened?"

Outside Toutousai's Home

Inuyasha stands looking at the moonless sky with his new sword at his waist.

' Usually I'd hate these nights.'

Inuyasha gazes sky.

" What's that?"

Taisho lands about fifty yards away from him.

" What's your reason for transforming now?" Inuyasha asks very irritably and aggravated

Taisho sheaths the red blade of the Blade Phoenix.

" Inuyasha, prepare yourself." Taisho says emptily.

Inuyasha looks at Taisho oddly.

" Oh dear Kami." Inuyasha mutters

Taisho places both of his hands on the handle of his sword and charges at Inuyasha.

Inuyasha looks at the sword at his waist.

' Should I?'

He looks back to Taisho who's right in front of him.

" Crap!" Inuyasha exclaims as the red blade of the Blaze Phoenix pierces his chest.

Taisho brings back his sword. Inuyasha puts a hand on his wound and falls limply to the ground.

Inu: Hope you liked.

Sesshomaru: How come I talked to that shadow-like creep.

Inu: Shut up. ( hits Sesshomaru on top the head. ) Love and peace. ~_^ ^_^

Sesshomaru: Hypocrite.
