Inu: Poor Taisho. I see some people liked him.

Sesshomaru: What are you talking about? I killed that guy long ago.

Inu: SHHHH!

( whistling)

Sesshomaru: That hurts you son of a...

Inu: ( interrupting) Here's part two.

An Epic Battle Of Gods Part II

" Gomen for my absence, koi." Inuyasha says as he passes me up.

' What did he say?' Kagome asks herself.

Inuyasha turns and looks at Kagome.

" I said: Gomen for my absence, koi." Inuyasha repeats.

' He really said it.' Kagome muses.

" Do I have to say it, again?" Inuyasha smiles.

Inuyasha turns back to the others.

" It's been so long." Inuyasha states

Miroku and Sango look at Inuyasha.

" You can't fool us, Inuyasha." Miroku says angrily.

" You're trying to avoid us. Why haven't you came back before?" Sango asks firmly

Inuyasha looks away.

" I thought that Taisho explained that." Inuyasha says weakly " If he were still here."

Sango and Miroku's faces stay stern.

" Why don't you explain Inuyasha? Why did Taisho have wings?" Mirku questions.

" Let's go to the site. I'm very tired." Inuyasha takes a deep breath and holds up this sword. " It's not easy, controlling the power of a deity."

Inuyasha collapses.

Forest

Sesshomaru walks with his head down. He's obviously in deep thought.

' I still do not know what to do. The shadow demon said that I could join Naraku again, but then I'd be evil. I wish not to be feared by commoners because I have an alliance with Naraku. I only wish to be feared because of my rank and blood; not being the puppet a deity. Yet I can't get power out of my head. Holding the power of a deity is tempting, even if it's the power of a deity hanyou. But then.....' Sesshomaru muses ' I'd be betraying my promise to my father.'

Sesshomaru looks onward to the stumbling Jaken and the playful Rin running towards him.

Both stop a few feet away from him and take deep breaths.

" I win." Rin says panting.

" But we weren't racing." Jaken argues.

Sesshomaru watches the actions of his servants.

' I can see why my father felt sorry for humans, but why ask me to protect them? I see no reason to waster my time with these creatures. He even had me inherit Tenseiga. Now that I have Tokijin I have shunned my inheritance like I once did my younger brother. What have I become? I did not try to get Tetsusaiga because of its power or because it was my father's strongest sword; I wanted it because I was jealous.....of Inuyasha.' Sesshomaru continues to muse

" Lord Sesshomaru, what troubles you milord?" Rin asks.

" Is it Inuyasha?" Jaken asks.

Sesshomaru looks up at the sky.

' I am jealous of Inuyasha. He has had the harder life and I still tried to kill him numerous times. And it has cost me my arm. I owe it to my father and Inuyasha to help him.' Sesshomaru reasons.

" Follow me, we have a debt to pay." Sesshomaru announces.

" Oooooo, I love adventures!" Rin shrieks

Jaken moans aggravated. Sesshomaru smiles lightly.

' These humans are so naïve.'

Hut

Inuyasha slowly opens his eyes.

" Where.....where am I." Inuyasha asks incoherently.

" You're in a hut, Mr. Angel." Miroku jokes.

Inuyasha looks at Miroku sourly.

" I take it you believed Kagome?" Inuyasha says.

' As much as this hut is gold.' Miroku says in his mind.

Inuyasha closes his eyes.

" I wish this hut was made out of gold." Inuyasha smiles.

Kagome looks at Inuyasha curiously.

" What are you talking about?" Kagome asks.

/ Ask Miroku./

" Miroku, do you know what he's talking about?" Kagome asks

Miroku looks at her scared.

" Inuyasha," Miroku starts " can you read minds?"

Inuyasha opens his eyes again, and turns to Sango.

" You should kill him for what he's thinking." Inuyasha answers amused.

Sango almost burns a hole through Miroku, how hard she's glaring at him.

" Houishi-sama?!" Sango explains irritably.

Inuyasha laughs roughly.

" I'm only joking. What he's thinking pretty.....um.....sweet." Inuyasha explains.

Miroku knocks Inuyasha on the head.

" Why you...." Miroku says.

" Inuyasha, you owe us an explanation." Kagome says.

Inuyasha sits up easily.

" Like I told Kagome. I have become a half-deity from the red moon's light and her miko powers. So now I have wings, wisdom, and I can purify demons. But..." Inuyasha reads their minds " I can't purify Naraku because now he's a full deity because he sold his soul. That power-hungry freak got his deity powers from the large amount of shards he has."

" So now we are fighting a full deity?" Miroku asks unbelieving

" Yes, and..." Inuyasha picks up his sword " with this we can beat him: The Blade Of A Fallen Angel. Made from my feather and another of my father's fangs. This sword is the only thing that can help us. And if my suspicions are correct, it will come in handy, tonight."

Everyone gasps.

" Tonight! Why tonight!" Everyone screams at him.

" Sheesh! It's not enough I have a dog's hearing; I can hear your thoughts, too." Inuyasha complains " If we don't attack tonight his powers will grow beyond our comprehension. He is going to use his powers to cause another red moon. If he gains even a little more power even I won't be able to kill him."

" I see. So tonight is the final battle." Miroku understands.

Inuyasha listens to their thoughts on this.

' I will be able to avenges Kohaku's torturing and my village's demise.'

' I will be rid of the accursed kazaana and then.....'

Inuyasha doesn't dare listen to the rest of Miroku's thoughts.

' I don't want to lose anyone; especially lose Inuyasha again.'

Inuyasha smiles at Kagome.

' Oh no! He can hear our thoughts. La la la la laaa!'

/ Do not worry. I won't tell./

' Inuyasha? How can you talk into my head?'

/ I rather call it a very private conversation./

Kagome huffs at Inuyasha.

/ Come on, that's too kawaii./

Kagome looks away.

' You little...'

/ Remember, I can hear you./

" Then should we prepare?" Miroku suggests.

Inuyasha looks seriously at everyone.

" Let's."

Castle.

Naraku stands in the courtyard of his castle; two bat-like wings protrude from his back, his eyes burn fiery red, and face is divided by a diagonal line, the lower half as red as his eyes.

" Soon, the apocalypse will burn this world into the farthest depths of the Devil's Kingdom!" Naraku shouts sounding like a fortune teller.

Zarcunai comes up behind him.

" Our ' friends' are outside and no word from Sesshomaru." Zarcunai says.

" It will not matter. My powers grow every second. I doubt even Inuyasha's wisdom will have an idea to kill me." Naraku explains " My powers are those of a warlord of utter destruction. Do you think that I am not fully able?"

" No, you are the strongest in the world." Zarcunai answers nervously.

Outside the Castle

Inuyasha, Miroku, Kagome , and Sango stand at the doors.

Inuyasha hears everyone think the same thing.

' Let's do it!'

Inuyasha burst down the door with his claws.

" Naraku!" Inuyasha shouts.

Inuyasha sets his eyes on the figure in front of him.

" You truly are the devil." Inuyasha growls low.

Naraku laughs maniacally.

" Inuyasha, let's make this interesting! Become the deity I know you are! The deity that has slain his own kin!"

Inuyasha begins to chant.

" Exio das neos, shile caln!" Inuyasha chants. { Angel my soul, show yourself }

Inuyasha begins to give off tangible waves.

Inuyasha face shows obvious pain. Four pure, white wings force themselves out of Inuyasha's back. A black cross covers Inuyasha's face. The sword in Inuyasha's hand transforms; it becomes bigger and sharper. It begins to give off waves like Inuyasha. Inuyasha begins to glow and floats a few inches off the ground.

" I see that you are in pain." Naraku begins to run at Inuyasha. A shadow ball appears in his hand. Naraku grips it and it becomes a sword. " Let me put you out of you pain!"

Naraku's sword clashes with Inuyasha's transformed one. Inuyasha and Naraku are both blown back from the force.

" Your sword is more powerful than you are, Inuyasha." Naraku laughs. " Brace yourself!"

Naraku raises his sword over his head. A small ball, much like the one his sword came from, rests on the point of his blade. It grows larger and larger until it's the size of a small hut.

" Here, Inuyasha. This is for you from the trouble you've caused me!" Naraku explains.

Naraku points his sword at Inuyasha again. The ball hastily makes it way it Inuyasha, but he stands still. Inuyasha glances at his feet; they're glowing black.

' CRAP! He's holding me feet down. And my sword will transform back if I put it under that much pressure. I'm done in, I've failed.'

Inuyasha closes his eyes awaiting the blast: it hasn't come. Inuyasha opens his eyes to something he never thought he'd see.

Naraku's blast is being held back by Sesshomaru and the Tokijin.

" Sesshomaru?!!?" Inuyasha shouts.

Sesshomaru keeps his eyes forward.

" Kill Naraku and take care of Jaken and Rin for me. Now I can say I helped you for once." Sesshomaru says regretfully.

" Sesshomaru, don't do this!"

Naraku laughs.

" The brothers die together!"

Naraku makes the ball larger and it engulfs Sesshomaru.

" Sessho-Maru!" Inuyasha shouts.

The ball disappears and Inuyasha rushes to him.

Inuyasha sees his brother's closed eyes. Sesshomaru opens one eye.

" Father says ' Hi'." Sesshomaru says before his head falls limply.

Naraku sees his chance.

" Prepare to die, Inuyasha." Naraku raises his sword above his head.

Castle Door

Everyone pounds against the door. They are repelled by an invisible wall.

" Curses! We can't get through!" Miroku shouts frustrated.

" Maybe our bodies can't get through, but...." Kagome loads her bow " my arrow can."

Kagome releases her arrow, it glows lighter than any sacred arrow she's shout before. It easily passes through the door, and head towards Naraku. The arrow pierces the thin membrane of his wings.

Naraku loses the black ball and grabs his bleeding wing. His hand glows and mends the wound.

" Valiant effort, little girl." Naraku laughs cockily. " AAAH!!!"

The area where he mended the wound is burning rapidly.

" How can this be? I am a deity?!" Naraku screams.

Inuyasha looks at Naraku venomously.

" No, you are a devil." Inuyasha corrects " And that of wicked heart cannot mend that that was caused by one of pure heart."

Naraku glares at Inuyasha.

" If even, I may not have two wings, but I am a pure devil, at least. And that is a variable that will cost you dearly!" Naraku claims.

Inuyasha laughs.

" But then again what do you know? You should have thought of the consequences when you became a devil. Now that you have been hit by that arrow, your body will be slightly paralyzed from such a pure arrow." Inuyasha laughs.

Naraku tries to move, but can barely flinch. Naraku's face shows fear, like a child before a homicidal maniac.

Inuyasha steps in front of his brother's body. He digs his sword deep in the ground.

" Naraku, I have a question for you." Inuyasha declares. " How do you kill an immortal being?"

Naraku continues to struggle.

" That's right. You can't! Even if you destroy my body, my spirit will live on!" Naraku exclaims.

" That's right." Inuyasha begins " You have to banish their soul to the netherworld!"

Naraku's face loses all of its color.

" You wouldn't, Inuyasha. If you open a portal your soul will be sucked in!" Naraku shouts nervously.

Inuyasha puts his hands in a position as if he were praying.

" Inuyasha! Please don't do it!" he hears Kagome shout behind him.

Inuyasha begins to chant again.

" Exiol, uy retity nagid, terw niu qeut lokiki!" Inuyasha chants { Angel, of Heavens and Earth, grant me your power! }

All of Inuyasha's feathers remove themselves from his back All of his feathers form a ball in front of his hands. It glows like the Shikon No Tama. The cross from on Inuyasha's face disappears and his skin loses its color as well.

" This is my soul along with the power of willing angels. This is your demise." Inuyasha states.

" Inuyasha, don't do it! Onegai!" Kagome shouts.

Inuyasha seems to ignore it, and chants again.

" Senakanae tolifelf!" Inuyasha chants {Divine revenge! }

The bright ball rushes to inches away from Naraku's face. A black ball, much like Inuyasha's, emerges from Naraku.

A fault opens in the ground; fires burst from the fault. Both of the bright balls are pulled into the fiery depths of the fault.

Naraku collapses to ground instantly. The barrier at the door breaks, and the gang bursts through.

" INUYASHA!!!!!" Kagome calls out.

Inuyasha turns to the group rushing toward him.

" That was for Taisho, Sesshomaru, and you all." Inuyasha says weakly and falls.

" Inuyasha!" Kagome yells.

Inuyasha reaches out to Kagome.

/ Aishetouru, Kagome./

Inuyasha's body lies motionless.

Everyone arrives at his side. They're all crying.

' Inuyasha, I know you can hear me. Please don't die. I-I lo-love you.' Kagome thinks trying to contact him.

She gets no response.

As if on a cue the clouds that darkened the night begin to rain; as if the very heavens themselves are crying over the lost of the half-deity named, Inuyasha.
