I do not own Inuyasha

***Chapter 2***

Three days had passed since Kaze had arrived in the past.

"I miss electricity," He muttered as he vaporized another human bandit, the smell of ash and burned flesh was in the air as the other bandits ran for their lives. "Worthless," Kaze said and growled, he was still trying to think of how to eliminate Inuyasha.

Kaze learned at a young age to go into battle prepared, and as far as he knew, the exterminator and monk could be a problem, especially considering he felt that the Monk had been cursed with Kazaana.

Kaze then looked at the ground a moment and remembered the last few youkai he killed, each fighting to the bitter end with him. Youkai existed all over the world, and looked similar to how the cultures of the area described them, he distinctly remembered the last four he fought. Though their where 7 youkai alive at the time of his fighting with them.

The first he fought was all too familiar to him, Sune-Ku, his eldest brother. Sune was a complete psychopath, but was deadly and insane, his original name had been Urufu, but he changed it to Sune-Ku later.

Kaze had fought his own brother to the death for a mate, she stood at the sides in fear, the last female youkai he was not related to. Sune was stronger then Kaze, and smarter, but made one mistake, it was just a flaw in tactic. and he died. Kaze shot him into the sky and blasted him with the most powerful spell he had ever created, the explosion nearly killed him, and, it killed the one he had intended to mate, in the end, he killed his brother for nothing.

Next, was a European demon named Blackrok, he was not an easy task, but died at his hands all the same, he had eliminated Kaze's mother shortly before, lowering the number of youkai on the planet, to three.

The biggest demon he fought was Atlas, a demon from Africa. he was an ape youkai, and was black furred. and 352 feet tall in his true form, unfortunately, that made him a big target.

The last Youkai aside from himself that Kaze saw, was Kouga, the wolf pack leader, Kouga had grown tired of life, and when the two fought, even though Kouga had become the most powerful youkai in the world at this point, his life seemed meaningless without his pack, Kouga threw the fight, and died.

Kaze remembered them all so well, and smirked, today he would add more to his list of the slain, even though only one was a true youkai in this group anyway.

***Flashback***

"You are indeed a worthy opponent," Said Sune assuming his fighting stance, his left hand's metal claw ready to slice into his own brother. "Here on this battle ground our blood will spill on the very land we walk," Sune said. "Whatever, let's just do this, it doesn't matter to me!" Kaze snapped.

The female wolf youkai looked at the two squaring off as she backed away slightly.

"Oh but it does! Because now we two brothers will fight for a woman's love, OH what a foolish conflict! Destiny can be so cruel to those who are undeserving!" Sune-Ku said in a dramatic voice, "But. it is that foolishness and cruelty that draws me to this fight even more my 'loving' brother," Sune-Ku finished. "Tell me, did mother say you where psychotic yet? Or am I the one to break the news?" Kaze asked. "I pity you brother. for now you will die not even truly knowing what you are fighting for," Sune said in a disappointed voice, and with that, in a blur of speed, attacked his younger brother.

***End Flashback***

He shook out of the memory and concentrated on the task at hand, the other time traveler.

With one quick leap he was off towards his target, jumping and leaping as fast as he could with the occasional short sprint.

Miroku looked around the beach they were on. "Do you feel that?" Miroku asked. "That demon aura," Kagome said. "It's him," Inuyasha said. Sango immediately got ready and Inuyasha grabbed the hilt of his sword as he waited, he knew they only had moments before the demon would be on them.

Two feet firmly planted on the ground behind Miroku. "Hello," Said the deep smooth voice. "I got board, and since you little piss ants are the first on my list, well, let's just say you're unlucky," Kaze said smirking.

He was about to attack when he saw it, Inuyasha unleashed Tetsusaiga from its hilt. "Impossible," He whispered as he saw the blade. "Tetsusaiga?" He asked. "Damn right," Inuyasha said smirking.

Inuyasha's confidence fled though, laughter came from Kaze now. "This is great! Not only do I get to slaughter you, but I get the sword I've dreamed of having for 279 years!" He said continuing to laugh. "SHUT UP!" Inuyasha shouted and swung the sword, letting an energy wave off.

Kaze easily dodged with amazing grace and rolled off the ground to be right beside Miroku. "Useless," Kaze said and grabbed Miroku's right wrist before he could react. Everyone then watched in horror what happened next.

Kaze's nails extended into Miroku's flesh, and tore the hand off, throwing the cursed hand into the air as Kazaana took over, and it imploded. Miroku screamed in unbearable pain as he looked at the stump on his right arm.

Sango stood there almost in tears at what she saw this MONSTER do to Miroku. "HOUSHI!" She screamed in shock at what happened. Kaze turned to her and gave a wolfish grin. "Don't worry, you're next," Kaze said.

"Hiraikotsu!" Sango cried as she threw the large weapon. Kaze ducked under it and kicked it into the air. He smirked until a glowing arrow barely missed him.

"A purity arrow," He said and turned to Kagome. "You have more tricks then I thought," He said simply. "KAZE NO KIZU!" Inuyasha shouted.

Miroku had moved away at this point and was trying frantically to tend to his wound.

Kaze barely dodged the massive attack from Inuyasha and snarled with anger. Sango rushed in with her sword ready and sliced Kaze up his chest once and was about to attack again but was kicked away. Kaze's eyes glowed red with anger as the blood came from his long wound. "You bitch," Kaze snarled, but quickly dodged another arrow from the side.

"Stop that!" He hissed and pointed his hand at Kagome; an invisible force wave knocked her over. Inuyasha roared as he came in with Tetsusaiga. Kaze dodged each swing he made and punched Inuyasha in the stomach, then the face, and then his stomach again, and finally elbowed him in the back. Inuyasha fell face first into the ground and was kicked away with a swift move. "Damn hanyou," Kaze snapped and turned to be stabbed through the chest by the still hysterical and furious Sango.

He snarled and pulled the blade out. He then grabbed Sango by the air and backhanded her. "How DARE you," He snarled and then threw her against a tree. He saw Shippou trying to help Kagome and Kirara transformed and rushed him. "Dumb animal," Kaze said and dodged to the side and elbowed the youkai in the ribs. From the pain the cat fell to the ground out cold.

"Now, my sword," He turned to Inuyasha who had now got up.

Inuyasha pulled his sword up, ready for action. "Allow me to show you one of my favorite magic techniques, fighting is a second for me, my real passion has always been the dark arts. I learned this in Siberia," Kaze said proudly.

A dark purple glow emanated from him and everything got a little darker as Kaze pointed his palm to the sky. A great deal of force blasted out from his body, blowing debris nearby away from him. Inuyasha let the intense wind hit him as he pulled his strength together.

Kaze pulled his hand down and pointed it at his other palm and black electricity formed between the two hands, and formed a black ball with purple energy in the middle of it. Kaze was now chanting things that Inuyasha did not understand. His eyes were now glowing an evil red as he smirked.

Inuyasha pulled the Tetsusaiga over his head. "Kaze no."

"Now you die Hanyou, Dark thunder of the inferno!" Kaze shouted.

"KIZU!" Inuyasha shouted.

The bolt of power shot out from Kaze and Inuyasha's Kaze no Kizu shot out. The two attacks hit one another and exploded outwards with power but still drove into one another. Kagome was now up and watched as Kaze's attack seemed to overpower Inuyasha's. She pulled up her arrow and got her bow.

"And this is where it ends, worthless half breed," Kaze said, but he heard the sound of a purity arrow suddenly and his eyes widened. He looked down and saw whole the size of a baseball in his chest. He looked over to Kagome and looked unbelieving. Kaze no Kizu tore through the lightning attack and Kaze turned as he saw the huge mass of power coming at him. He looked terrified as it hit him.

Everyone saw it hit and heard him cry out in agony, the attack continued through another 10 meters before dispersing like it always did.

Before it hit though, Kagome saw something. Kaze's body pulsed, and she barely made out the details. he had stripes on his cheeks. and a crescent moon on his forehead. She barely made that out due to his bangs, but she saw those qualities.

"Miroku!" Shippou cried as everyone who was able rushed to the most wounded.

10 meters away though, Kaze started to crawl, his right arm gone, and a huge chunk of his chest missing. 'I'll get them for this,' He thought.

He pulled himself forward. 'Must. get. to safe distance, must recover,' Kaze though.

Elsewhere

Naraku looked at Kagura. "Kagura. Find him, and kill him," Naraku said. "Yes Naraku." Kagura replied.

2 days later,

In Kaede's hut

Miroku finally awakened with a long groan. "HOUSHI!" Sango said and pulled him up. "Sango, be careful, he's still really hurt," Kagome warned. "Wh. what happened?" Miroku asked looking exhausted. Sango looked filled with grief and he looked over to Kagome who looked almost as troubled.

"Miroku," Sango said with tears welling in her eyes. "Kazaana. Kazaana can't affect you anymore," She said. Miroku didn't understand, where they sad? He was free! Then he noticed something, he couldn't feet his right hand at all.

"Th- the demon that attacks. if you don't remember. Hoshi. h-h-he took your hand," Sango said as the tears fell freely from her eyes. Miroku raised his arm with a great deal of effort and looked at the now treated stump. He looked sad.

"I always hoped I would beat it. that we would defeat Naraku and I would live a normal life. but now. I can't live a normal life even without Kazaana." Miroku said. Kaede walked in the hut now. "He needs more rest, Sango, you may stay though," Kaede said. Kagome nodded and got up and left.

Sango noted Miroku fondling her ass but she couldn't care at this point, he lost his arm, she wouldn't hit him. this time.

Inuyasha stood outside. "How is the stupid bastard?" He asked. "He's recovering." Kagome started. "Well it's a good thing we got that moron out of the way though, he could have been trouble," Inuyasha said.

"He had Sesshoumaru's markings." Kagome finally said. "WHAT?!" Inuyasha shouted. "Why didn't you tell me before?!" He added. "I forgot!" She snapped back. "I was trying to help keep Miroku alive!" She shouted. Inuyasha looked over his shoulder and to the west. "What is it?" Kagome asked. "I don't know what to say, if he's got my family markings. then he's like a rat. nothing is gonna stop him as easily as we did," Inuyasha said.

In the woods-

Kaze tripped and fell forward and hit the ground hard. His body had healed his smaller cuts and bruises and stopped the bleeding on his larger wounds, but he was just above the mark of dying.

He sat against a tree and looked up bitterly at the trees. He then saw a feather falling from the sky, it was very large. 'Kagura.' He thought.

She jumped off her feather and resized it, then put it back in her hair and looked at the demon in his torn clothing sitting against a tree. he looked tired, not exhausted in the sense of needing sleep, but of more then that.

"Naraku sent you to kill me Kagura?" Kaze asked. "So, I don't need to introduce myself?" She asked in a caulis tone. "Don't do this." Kaze started. "And why not? Are you going to BEG? Listen, I don't take orders from you," She snapped. "I know about Naraku. I know about your heart, I can help," Kaze said.

She froze, he knew? How? "Please. don't kill me. have him send someone else if anything, just not you," Kaze said. She glared at him; Naraku told her the basics about him, time traveler, that's all. "He'll kill me if I don't, I'm sorry," Kagura said and pulled her fan back, just then he shut his eyes and his body pulsed once.

He opened his eyes and fright entered her, his eyes mirrored her. "Mother, don't do this," He finally said. Kagura stepped back and looked scared to death. She immediately knew Naraku was watching as her heart started to feel off, not in pain, just letting her know he was watching.

She stood there a moment and the pain started to enter her chest. "Do it. he's watching," Kaze said sadly. Kagura was still in turmoil over this, he had no other claims, but his ruby red eyes, they told it all. As far as she knew he could even be a shape shifter, but it was something that his body seemed to give off.

Finally the pain became too much and Kagura fell to her knees. She was working quickly through this, she didn't even know this man, and it didn't matter, did it? She saw him try to stand and walk towards her, only to nearly fall. He went on one knee, the large whole in his chest showing through. "I'll get you out of this," He said. She started at him in disbelief as he reached his one arm around her and pulled her into an embrace.

Kagura had no idea what was going on now, this was all too strange. "It's been 47 years since I saw you," He said. "It's been hard. not that you know it. your just a version of my mother from the past," He said with difficulty. "But, you do have her soul still, so I know that the latter version of you will hear this as well. I missed you," He said. Kagura then felt her chest empty, her eyes hallowed out, and she fell limp in his arms. Kagura was dead.

Kaze frowned as he saw the body go limp; he had one chance to do this. He pulled her over his shoulder and gained balance. He took a step forward in the direction he hoped would lead him to the most heartless bastard he'd ever heard about.

Naraku hissed as he turned away from Kanna's mirror, at least some things where explained, like his scent, it did seem like his own, but not NEARLY the same, it only had the slightest hint of his scent. This was definitely bad, he had no doubt 'Kaze' knew some of his weaknesses, if not most.

***END CHAPTER***

Well, that's chapter 2. I'm gonna get to work on chappy three, which focuses less on Kaze.

Chapter 4 will have even time for almost every pairing, and everyone seen so far. Well. hope you enjoy.
