Serenity sat on a tree limb, she no longer looked innocent and pure. Her eyes were narrow and lost their shine, her claws grew sharper and a bit longer, and her once fluffy tail grew stiff from never being wagged. Her life with Kimori and his companions was alright, she even had her own pack of coyotes that help her cheer up sometimes. "serenity-kun" said Kimori. "What ?" said serenity. Her voice sounded very cold and cruel. "I think the training has paid off, your getting stronger everyday" said Kimori. "Oh has it ?" asked serenity. "Indeed, but you have no idea how to use a sword, do you ?" asked Kimori. Serenity looked up at the sky, as if she was ignoring Kimori, but since she didn't have her slash-sickle anymore, she knew he was right. "Fine" said serenity as she jumped to the ground. "Taii will train" said Kimori.

Serenity was facing Taii, she had a thick bamboo pole in her grasp, and so did Taii. Kimori nodded and Taii dashed towards serenity with incredible speed. Kimori jumped into a nearby tree to watch the training, just incase it got too intense. Serenity jumped to one side and swung the pole at him. Taii quickly blocked it with his bamboo pole and backhanded serenity, and she went flying to the ground. "Weakling" said Taii as he whacked serenity a numerous amount of times all over her body with his pole.

Serenity gritted her teeth and remained silent from the beating. Then, her eyes glowed red and a red aura surrounded her. Just as Taii was about to hit her again, jumped into the air and made and attempt to kick him in the face. "Not so fast" said Taii as he grabbed serenity's foot and threw her into a tree. Serenity stammered to her feet and held her bamboo pole tightly and charged at Taii. Taii smacked serenity away from him and watched her fall to the ground with blood oozing out from a wound on her head. Serenity lay on the ground unmoving. "Is she...dead ?" asked Taii to himself.

Serenity flinched and sat up and looked at Taii. She saw Inu-yasha instead of Taii. Inu-yasha with her blood on his shirt, inu-yasha with the thick bamboo pole in his hand. She had remembered that day, when she was forced over his lap and beat with one. Fire burned her soul, all those memories of nothing but pain flooded her thoughts. Serenity concentrated all her thoughts on those memories and focused them on her energy. Then, her hair grew longer, her claws much longer and sharper, and her eyes glowed with fire, as if hell was running through her. "Prepare yourself !!!!!" shouted serenity as she dashed at Taii and swung her pole at him.

Taii blocked it, but it broke like a dry twig. But that wasn't it, after serenity's pole broke through Taii's, it whacked against his forehead, making a sickening crack. Taii fell to the ground. "s-she defeated...me..." were Taii's last thoughts before he hit the ground, unconscious. Serenity grinned, in her eyes, it was inu-yasha laying on the ground and inch from death. "She did it ! She tapped into her full demon form without being in life threatening danger !" thought Kimori.

Serenity closed her eyes and breathed out. Then her hair, claws, and eyes went back to normal. "Now to use her to the fullest" thought Kimori. "serenity-kun !" shouted Kimori. "What ?!" serenity yelled back. "Feel like getting us some jewel shards ?" asked Kimori. "Only if it's a challenge, I have no use for such items" said serenity. "You have the opportunity to massacre a village" said Kimori. Serenity turned and looked at Kimori. "Give me the place and I'll go to work" said serenity as she grinned an evil grin. "In the western lands, a large village surrounded by huge trees. They hold a few jewel shards" said Kimori. "Say no more" said serenity.

"Wait !" shouted Kimori. "What ?" said serenity. Kimori jumped over to serenity and took out a bag. It was filled with red sand. "You don't look very fearsome, but this sand will turn you into a much more fearsome fighter" said Kimori. He took and handful out of the bag and threw on serenity. The second it touched serenity, her whole body glowed fire red, her whole body changed. She grew very much taller, her tail grew several times longer, her claws and fangs grew longer also. Instead of looking 9 years old, she now looked at least 16 or 17. "Now, go and get those jewel shards" said Kimori. Serenity nodded and dashed off towards her destination.

(At the village)

Serenity jumped over the trees surrounding the village and she quickly sensed the jewel shards. "It's a demon !!!" shouted one of the villagers. "I thought we sealed off this place using spell scrolls !" said another. "I hate to break it to you guys, but they don't work" said serenity as she took a remaining one from her hair. "S-she immune to them !! Let's get her out of here !!" shouted a villager. Most of the villagers surrounded serenity. "Fools !" shouted serenity she began the onslaught Serenity dashed through the whole village, killing anyone who got in her way. She busted through huts, killing everyone in eye contact while looking for the jewel shards.

"Ahh, I final found them" said serenity as she held up 5 shimmering jewel shards. "Too bad it was in the very last hut I found, everyone wouldn't have been killed" said serenity. "Oh well, waste not, won not" said serenity. Serenity heard something move. She looked around, she saw a few surviving villagers, then she saw her pack of coyotes gang around her and whimper. "I know, you're hungry. You may feed on the surviving villagers, return to me as soon as you're done" said serenity as she dashed off back to Kimori's area, leaving the blood covered village behind. As soon as serenity was gone, her coyotes began attacking, killing, and eating the rest of the villagers. When serenity returned to Kimori, she gave him the jewel shards. "Well done serenity, if you were to run into inu-yasha now, you'd be strong enough to kill him on the spot. "inu-yasha..." serenity growled at that name. "I despise you inu-yasha !" thought serenity coldly.

Meanwhile...

"I smell blood, freshly killed humans" said inu-yasha. "What ? Where ?" asked kagome. "Not too far off" said inu-yasha. "Let's go check it out" said miroku. With that, kagome got on inu-yasha's back and inu-yasha dashed off, while sango, miroku and shippo got onto the now in demon form kirara and followed after inu-yasha. When inu-yasha and the other had stopped, they were in a village that reeked of blood. "No ! It can't be !" said inu- yasha as he sniffed the air. "What is it inu-yasha ?" asked sango. "I...smell serenity ! Shes been here !" shouted inu-yasha. "You don't think, she did this ?!" shouted kagome. "She couldn't have" said miroku. "Uhhh, look !!" shouted shippo as he pointed at some coyotes who were getting closer each second to the group. "You think these are the things responsible for the massacre ?" asked miroku. "If they are, I'll take them on !" said inu-yasha as he charged forward with his claws out in front of him. Inu-yasha slashed at some of them and wounded them. A few who weren't hurt ran off a bit and howled long and loud. "Their calling for their master" said kagome.

Then, a wind blew, and a blur rushed by, followed by 4 more. Then, in front of the group, stood 5 figures. One of them walked over to the coyotes who where ok, but still wounded. "You hurt my pets" said the girl. "Your 'pets' just killed everyone in this village !!!" shouted inu-yasha. The girl starred at inu-yasha. "Why inu-yasha, don't you recognize me ?" asked the girl. "No, I've never seen you in my life" said inu-yasha. "Smell the air you stupid half-breed !" shouted Samajima. "You'll know who she is after to get her scent" said Taii. Inu-yasha sniffed the air again and his eyes got wide with shock. "S-Serenity ?!!" said inu-yasha. "Took you long enough" said serenity. "That's serenity ?!" shouted miroku. "She looks so much older !" said sango. Inu-yasha didn't say a word, serenity's scent had changed. Her once pure soul was now flooded with bitterness. "You've created your own monster, she did nothing but train, hoping for the day she'd kill you in battle" said Hinageshi. "This is one opponent you can't defeat !" shouted Kimori. Inu-yasha couldn't believe it, his once pure and loving little sister, had become dark and cruel, and it was all his fault.
