Chapter Twenty- Changing
*******************************
A red glow engulfed Serenity, as she stood before Narahiko. She was glowing with power, anger tainted this power, as pain tainted her heart. Tears of sorrow stained her cheeks falling from narrowed eyes. The scent of Kagomes blood still filled her nose, only fueling her anger more. She could feel all the youkais for miles around, and all of them she was sure, felt her. But she cared not. All she saw was red. All she cared about was the bastard in front of her. She had decided Narahiko was to blame. It was his fault that Kagome was dying, or already had died, at this moment Serenity couldnt tell. Plus, he had the Shikon no tama, the thing she needed to get Kagome back, if she got it in time.
"Narahiko!"
She said, her voice showing her anger. Her blood pounding in her veins, rushing in her eyes. She felt him quiver. She felt him shake in fear, even if only for a moment. And she watched, as a wicked smile spread across his face and a small orb, black as night, appeared in his hands. Serenity didnt have to wonder what it was, she knew, the orb was her heart, was what had kept her under his power. She showed not the slightest fear as she stood tall against him. His eyes narrowed and his hands closed slowly around the orb, starting to crush it. Pain surged through her body, but she kept to her feet, her face unchanged. A look of puzzlement crossed his features as she closed her eyes, her joints tensing. A moment later a flash of white light exploded from his hand, he dropped the orb and it disintegrated in the air. He looked down at his hand, how it was burnt with the shape of the orb.
Serenity laughed, a laugh that was not her own by any means. A hollow painful laugh. A laugh from her pained heart. Narahiko looked at her in anger before drawing from his pelt what she had been wanting. The glow of the Shikon no tama was dull, as if all the purity in it was dying with Kagome. He held it in his grasp, and looked at Serenity with a smirk.
"Is this what you are after?"
He said icily.
"To save the miko's life, neh?"
He laughed his sadistic laugh and clutched the jewel tighter.
"This you can not have!"
He shoved the jewel into his chest, a bright blue glow erupting from the spot in which he had jammed the jewel. A look of utter terror and pain formed in his features. Serenity looked at him, shocked that he had done this, yet pleased that now she had a valid reason to kill him. How else was she suppose to get the jewel that was lodged inside him? Narahiko's laugh rang out once more, as his skin turned black and red streaks appeared on it everywhere. From his back grew six identical arms, all down his sides the went. His hair went to red, a sickening blood red. His eyes turned cold black, a hint of evil within them. His nails grew into a powerful weapon. A blue glow engulfed his body, as the jewel did its deed. And when it was done, Narahiko stood before them as a full fledge demon.
Serenity looked upon him, now recognizing him as a challenge. His power flowed around them, rivaling her own. But not a pure power, an evil power. A trickle of fear went down her spine, his power finally getting to her. She shook off her doubt, her anger rising. She would beat him, she would take the jewel, and she would save her mothers life. She charged at Narahiko, her claws stretched forth and aimed at his heart. But, thanks to the Shikon jewel, not only his power but his agility had increased. He moved from her way with ease, punching her from behind and sending her straight to the ground.
Inuyasha watched all this, fear in his heart, while holding the body of his dying love. He looked down at Kagomes pale cold features, his heart wincing at the site of her frailty. He kissed her forehead and gently laid her out of the way of danger. He rose to his feet and picked up the Tetsusaiga. He watched as Narahiko managed to punch Serenity again, and in a quick movement the Tetsusaiga was transformed. He stepped onto the battle field, a knowing look in his eyes. Serenity would need help if she was to defeat Narahiko.
Then he felt it. The pulsing in his ears. The scent of changed blood. He froze, still holding the Tetsusaiga. He thought he had imagined it at first, and he took in a sharp breath. A moment passed and he let his breathe out, wondering if he had really felt it. That question was answered by another feeling. Another pulsing. It struck his heart, boiled his blood. His eyes wavered to Serenity, as she was stone still with on hand on the ground and the other to her side, her hair falling around her face.
It..it couldnt be!
Narahiko looked at Inuyasha's wide eyes and fearful gaze and then he himself felt it. His eyes widened and he turned towards Serenity. Her hair flash from black to silver to black again before settling on silver. Her skin grew more pale, her nails sharp and deadly. Two purple streaks appeared on her cheeks and her eyes went to blood red with yellow pupils. She had changed. Inuyasha remembered this. When a hanyou was in danger of loosing their life, much like Serenity was now, their youkai blood takes over to save themselves. But, Serenity had the same youkai blood in her that Inuyasha had in him, and it was too great to sustain a hanyou body. She would be ripped apart from the inside out.
Silently Serenity rose to her feet, seeming not at all as if she was wounded. She lifted her head, her hair falling to the side, and her face being shown. Blood red eyes stared into Narahiko in anger and hate, and then she spoke.
"Narahiko, now you shall pay and I shall take the Shikon jewel."
You could tell by her voice she was no longer the same Serenity. Fear grew in Inuyasha's heart. He gazed down at the Tetsusaiga. He had to get it to her, it would be the only thing that would suppress Serenity's power, even if it ment, sacrificing himself.
He gaze at Kagomes dying body.
He had nothing more to loose. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
