Naraku smirked. "Nothing you do will change your fate." He hissed. Inuyasha charged at him with the tetsusaiga, but he easily dodged it. Miroku, Sango, and Sesshomaru attacked as well, but they were doing no better. It was mainly in between Inuyasha and Naraku. Inuyasha would attack, yet all Naraku did was dodge. Kagura and Kanna were up against Kouga and Kikyou.
Inuyasha glared at the others. "This is too dangerous! Leave Naraku to me!" He hollered back at them, turning back to Naraku just in time to dodge another one of his attacks. "No way!" Miroku yelled. "We all have our reasons for fighting him, Inuyasha! This bastard killed my brother!" Sango said, while throwing the hiraikotsu at Naraku, who dodged it. "You're mistaken if you think that you can defeat Naraku all by yourself, little brother." Sesshomaru said softly. Their messages were clear; they weren't going to leave him.
Kagura and Kanna seemed to have the upper hand, due to the fact that Kanna's mirror continuously reflected All of Kouga's attacks. Kagura had a hard time dodging all of Kikyou's arrows, but Kagura's wind powers gave her the upper hand. "Damnit!" Kouga yelled, loosing his temper. "I can't touch that kid as long as she has that mirror!" He attacked again, only to get it deflected.
The tetsusaiga was hitting nothing save the air. ~Damnit, hold still!~ Inuyasha thought, angrily. He was too focused on offense, that he was using little effort to defend himself. Time almost seemed to slow down as he could feel Naraku's katana piercing through his stomach. The pain was almost unbearable, and to make matters worse Naraku turned the blade. The tetsusaiga fell from his hand as he fell backwards and the katana was being pulled from his body. "Inuyasha!" Sango and Miroku exclaimed in unison, hurrying over to his aid. He raised his head to see Naraku pick up the tetsusaiga, and began to growl.
His thoughts were concentrated on Naraku. ~That bastard... How dare he take my-- Wait a minute!~ Inuyasha slowly rose to his feet, twitching a bit at his injury. He raised his hand and pointed a claw at Naraku. "Y-You're a hanyou!" He spat at the fiend. Sango and Miroku soon realized this was true. How else could he touch the tetsusaiga? He had human blood in him. Naraku glared at Inuyasha, his eyes burning with hatred. Inuyasha smirked. "That explains a lot. The reason you're after the jewel; your love for--" "SILENCE!" He shouted. The tetsusaiga transformed. "How do you like this fate?" Naraku hissed, evilly. "Destroyed by the sword your father left for you. The one that's supposed to protect you." Inuyasha glared at him. That wasn't going to happen. Naraku smirked. "Don't worry, Inuyasha. I won't kill you just yet. First..." His smirk widened.
"You will be the last to die, and just like Kohaku and Kagome, you will witness it all. There's nothing you can do about to prevent it. You will watch as I kill all of your allies, one by one. I know who I'll start with, too." Naraku glanced over at Kikyou, and smirked yet again. Inuyasha's eyes widened. Kagura used her wind powers to knock Kikyou's bow out of her hands, and Naraku turned directly to her. He began walking, with the fully transformed tetsusaiga.
The anger that was inside Inuyasha was far beyond anything he had experienced before. His rage was building up inside of him, as his eyes flickered a blood red color. Kikyou's eyes widened. "Inuyasha, don't! Do not let the demon blood take control!" She pleaded. He hadn't listened. There was just one thing on his mind as he stared at Naraku. Kill.
His eyes were red, and his claws and fangs were bigger. Kikyou's tears streamed down her cheeks. He couldn't stand to see Inuyasha like this. He charged at Naraku, with a desire to kill. They all watched as Inuyasha repeatedly attacked Naraku, and how he was repeatedly knocked down.
Kikyou stared at him with somber eyes. "What's happened to you..." She whispered, fearfully. "Inuyasha, you're dying!" She yelled. Inuyasha stopped when he was about to attack. He looked over at Kikyou, and growled angrily. Kikyou walked towards him. "Kikyou, what are you doing? It's not safe!" Sango yelled. "Get away from him! He's been taken by the demon!" Miroku shouted. "There isn't anything you or anyone else can do, Kikyou." Naraku said, softly. "There is no hope." He told her.
She was still approaching Inuyasha, and his growling got louder. "No hope?" She repeated, softly. "There is always hope, Naraku. I am not going to give it up." She slowly walked closer, until she and Inuyasha were face to face. "You're mad!" Naraku shouted. Kikyou warmly embraced Inuyasha. "Inuyasha, please." She spoke softly, "Don't leave me."
His growling ceased. ~What's going on?~ He thought. ~This isn't who I truly am! Has the demon taken my soul? Is... Is it to late... for me?~ Kikyou's voice echoed through his mind. 'There is always hope, and I am not going to give it up.' He looked down and saw Kikyou embracing her. ~That's it!~ His mind exclaimed. ~I'm not going to give up. I will not allow myself to be taken by demon blood!~
Inuyasha's eyes became white again, and his claws and fangs shortened. He wrapped her arms around Kikyou. "I'm back." He said, softly. "Kikyou, get your bow." He whispered in her ear. "Together, you and I will get rid of Naraku. Once and for all."
Kikyou understood, and left Inuyasha's side. Naraku glared at him. "It matters not what form you are in, Inuyasha. It--" "It won't change my fate." Inuyasha finished. "Yeah, whatever. I'd appreciate it if you stopped repeating yourself so we can get back to our fight." He said, and extended his claws. Naraku glared at him. No more wasting time. "Die." He hissed, charging at him and raising the tetsusaiga to split him on two.
Inuyasha was taken aback because he was so quick, and tried to avoid it. No good; the tetsusaiga struck his head. Inuyasha blinked, and looked up at the sword. It was nothing more than a rusty blade. He caught sight of an arrow lying on the ground below it, and glanced over at Kikyou.
She had reversed the transformation. "Sankon Tetsusou!" Inuyasha yelled quickly, slashing at Naraku's arm and successfully removing it. It fell to the ground, and Inuyasha picked it up. After removing the tetsusaiga, the arm flew from his hand and re-attacked to Naraku's body. Sesshomaru glared at Naraku, upset about the fact that he could put his body back together.
The tetsusaiga transformed in Inuyasha's hands. It was time to end it.
