I do not own Inuyasha
***Chapter 7***
Takes place roughly 2 days after chapter 6
Naraku looked at Kanna. "So, you understand?" He said. "Yes," She replied in her weak monotone voice. "Good," He added and smirked and levitated in the air. "Remember the plan," He added and took off into the sky, he was very much enjoying this new body.
Inuyasha and his group-
"So Miroku how is the new hand?" Kagome asked. "To be honest, it's incredible, my whole forearm is stronger," He said. "The claws are a nice touch," Inuyasha muttered. "I heard that," Miroku said. Sango remained quiet. "So Sango. when are you ex." He was cut off by a tackle from Miroku into the trees.
"What are you doing?" He whispered angrily to Inuyasha behind the shrubbery. "Well, she's with pup. I detected it as soon as." He was cut off. "Idiot! She doesn't know yet, I was hoping to let it down easily!" Miroku scolded. "Why would she be angry?" Inuyasha asked. "She was raped moron!" Miroku snapped. Inuyasha nodded and frowned. "Sorry," He admitted, no smart ass remarks would come from him on this subject.
"How did you find out?" Inuyasha asked. "What's going on over there?!" They heard. "I'll tell you later," Miroku said.
The two came out of the forest and back onto the road. "What where you saying before Miroku decided to be a jerk?" Kagome asked. "Nothing, it was stupid," Inuyasha said. 'That's not like Inuyasha,' Kagome thought.
Miroku went up beside Sango as they walked. "How are you?" Miroku asked. "Fine," She said. "Listen, Inuyasha brought up a point before. I think you should know," Miroku said. She looked at him a moment. "I know all about what happened, the demon gave me his hand to protect you for a reason, he found out you are with. errr. 'pup'," Miroku said. Sango froze and looked pained.
"What?!" Kagome and Shippou said together. "That's why he was so nice," She muttered. "What I'm saying is, I think you should take a break from the shard hunting until. you sort that out," Miroku said. "My life is ruined," She whispered to herself. "What?" Miroku asked. "Who's going to want anything to do with me after this. I'm going to live alone for the rest of my life. with a hanyou child," She started to cry.
"That's not true, you have us," Kagome cut in. "Right Inuyasha?" She said. "Feh, whatever," Inuyasha replied.
"Sango, even after this child. I'll stay with you," Miroku said. She looked at him with shock. "This was not your fault, I know that, and the boy should have a father, of course I know I'm not exactly the most fit person to." He was cut off as she wrapped her arms around him. "Thank you Miroku," She said in-between sobs.
"Am. am I interrupting something?" Kohaku asked as he arrived. "Kohaku?" Sango asked with shock. "Be on your guard," Inuyasha said. "Hey, easy, Naraku died," Kohaku said. "What? How?" Kagome asked. "Some guy with silver hair came and killed him, I saw the whole thing, poisoned him," Kohaku said. "What? Sesshoumaru?" Inuyasha said with shock. "No, he didn't say his name though," Naraku/Kohaku said.
"What color were his eyes?" Sango asked as she paled. "Red," Kohaku said. Sango gulped and put her hands protectively over her stomach. "What?" Miroku asked. "That must have been Snake." She said looking scared to death. "Snake?" Kohaku said unsure. 'I'll have to remember that name,' Kohaku thought. He then remembered what he had watched in Kanna's mirror.
"Naraku had been watching Snake's brother! I remember that," Kohaku said. "What?" Kagome asked. "Yes, if I remember correctly from what he was watching. Kagura spawned those two off in the future," Kohaku said. "We knew he was from the future. and we knew from his markings he was related to Inuyasha." Miroku said. "Kagura is traveling with Sesshoumaru as we speak," Kohaku said.
"Wow. guess that means I'm about to become a great uncle," Inuyasha said looking kind of awkwardly. "We have to get back to Kaede's and then figure out what to do with Sango's problem," Miroku said. "Problem?" Kohaku asked. "Y-your about to be an uncle Kohaku," She said giving a false smile.
Naraku immediately took note, from the look he got from everyone, Miroku wasn't the father, and since Kaze had salvaged her, that meant that it Snake's. 'Well, I'm a great grandfather and an uncle. interesting,' Naraku thought. He was more human, in the terms of soul then ever, and despised it. He needed to get the jewel. Naraku would first help Inuyasha and his group slaughter Snake, and then he would take the jewel shards, it was genius.
"Hey kid, you don't by chance know where Naraku hid the shards do ya?" Inuyasha asked. "Uhhh. he gave them to one of his kids before he died," Naraku lied. "Damnit, now we gotta hunt down his brats too!" Inuyasha snarled.
"Calm down Inuyasha, the point is everyone is free from him finally," Kagome said. 'That's what you think,' Kohaku/Naraku thought.
Inuyasha and the others continued on their way, the entire time Inuyasha made certain no one was following, constantly checking.
Inuyasha then sniffed the air, and smelt smoldering flesh.
Miroku looked around. "There is a strong demon aura here," He said. Inuyasha moved ahead of the others and stopped at the sight of a completely destroyed village.
Everyone caught up quickly to see it.
"Let's look for survivors." Miroku said in a depressed voice.
Kohaku followed the other more cautiously then them, he didn't like this.
Inuyasha looked at the bodies as they came in. He sighed and then frowned. He looked over to the side and then his ears twitched. He heard a sound in the middle of the town.
"Someone is here, let's check it out," Inuyasha said.
Miroku, Kohaku, and Inuyasha moved to the middle of the town only to see a long figure digging.
"Who are you?" Miroku asked.
Sango, Kagome and Shippou were now there as well.
He turned sadly and frowned. His cloths were slightly ripped on the edges, and he had blood on random places, he looked very sad. "Please state your business or leave me to bury my village in peace," He said sadly.
"We will assist you, what happened?" Miroku asked. Naraku immediately recognized him. 'Kouken,' He thought.
"We were attacked by a demon named Snake," He said. "He appeared and killed everyone. I. I tried everything, but it wasn't enough, even with our miko Kikyo's help, but she had to run," Kouken said. Inuyasha froze at that word.
"Snake is quickly becoming more of a problem then Naraku, he doesn't seem to have any overall goal like Naraku did, there seems to be such little scheming behind what he does," Kagome said sadly.
"You know him?" He asked. "Only one of us," Miroku said. "But we've met his brother, 'Kaze'," Inuyasha spat the name. "Kaze? He and a group of travelers came here, including the great western lord, they where the last visitors," Kouken said sadly. "And Lady Kikyo seemed to really take Kaze's words to heart, about using her 'second chance'," Kouken said.
"Wait, Kaze is a demon?" He asked. "Yea, he hides it well doesn't he?" Kagome said.
Kouken brushed a few bangs from his eyes. "I will do anything to kill this Snake, I. I've never truly hated anyone until now," He said seriously. "He attacked just as I asked the woman I had met only days before to be my mate," Kouken said sadly. "She died painlessly. I suppose she was lucky, compared to the others," Kouken said. "I'm sorry," Sango said. "Don't be," Kouken said.
Kouken drew his index finger over the scar that was now over his left eye, it was a clean move, it started above his eye, and then went below it, but it did not touch the eyeball itself.
"Who are you?" Miroku asked. "I'm Kouken, 9th detachment of Naraku," He said. "Naraku?!" Everyone said in shock and got ready for battle, including Naraku himself to keep up his guise. "Wait," Kouken said. "I, along with everyone else, are free of him, we all went our separate ways, and I decided to help people." He said calmly, and then gave a harsh chuckle. "And look what it got me and the people who trusted me," He said sadly.
Inuyasha walked over and grabbed a shovel. "Come on Miroku, Kohaku, we've got digging to do, and questions to ask," Inuyasha said.
"So, what was Kikyo doing here?" Inuyasha asked as he continued to dig. "Living I assume, or trying to," Kouken said. "Kohaku, did you find your sister?" Kouken asked as he continued to dig. "That was her back there, I get to be an uncle soon," He said. "Really, that's great kid," Kouken said as he continued. "You two know one another?" Miroku asked them. "Yes," They said in unison. "Why didn't you just tell us?!" Inuyasha spat. "Forgot," They said in unison. Miroku and Inuyasha just sighed in disappointment as they continued to dig.
Kouken picked up the first body; it was an attractive young woman. He put her in the grave sadly and started to bury her. "That her?" Inuyasha asked. "Yes," Kouken replied, his voice sounded strained. "I only knew her about 4 days, but we have everything in common in personality, and she always tried to help everyone," He said sadly. He finished filling the grave and looked down a moment and nodded his head and went on to finishing his work.
They finished burying the town and Miroku finished the burial ceremony.
"Do you know where Kikyo will go?" Kagome asked as the men came back. "The only place I can think of where she could go, unless she goes on her own would be to the group that Kaze was with," Kouken said.
"Where will you go?" Shippou asked (He's gotta get SOME lines. lol). "I'm going to hunt down, and kill Snake," Kouken said as his eyes narrowed dangerously. "He picked the wrong man to fuck with," He added. "Well, we're looking for jewel shards, so, can't help ya," Inuyasha said. "Hey! We might have to deal with this Snake guy!" Kagome protested. "Feh, whatever woman," He said. "Don't call me that! SIT!" Inuyasha face-planted and glared at Kagome with anger.
"You are welcome to join us," Sango said. "I will for now, thank you," Kouken said calmly. With that, the group was on its way.
About two days later, the group was only an hour from Kaede's village-
"Inuyasha, stop being such a jerk," Kagome said. "I'm not being a jerk, Miroku is," Inuyasha said. "Do you two ever be quiet? Do you REALLY hate one another that much?" Kouken asked. They both started to rant on about habits that they hated about each other until Kouken sighed. "It sounds like you two have already mated," He muttered. Inuyasha heard but Kagome didn't.
Inuyasha paled a moment and then growled. "What's that supposed to mean?" He snarled. "Exactly what I said hanyou, its OBVIOUS based on your scent you have interest in the miko, I only assume the fox is too young to pick up the scent you let off over such things. As well as the fact you don't have many other full grown male demons around," Kouken said.
Inuyasha opened his mouth to reply but shut it. Everyone was now staring. "My apologies, I said that too loud," Kouken said looking guilty. Kagome was in shock at hearing this. Miroku, Sango, Naraku/Kohaku and Shippou didn't exactly know what to say.
"But he loves Kikyo," Kagome said sadly. "Kikyo? As in Priestess Kikyo? By the GODS man, are you into the whole pain scene? GOD! She HATES you! Every time I had to talk to her over fifteen minutes, all I heard was her bitter resentment over you. and you love her? Shit. love really must be blind," Kouken said looking astonished. Inuyasha glared at Kouken for his rude statement.
"Inuyasha. what was he talking about when he said interesting? I mean, I really shouldn't have jumped to conclusions." She asked. "He. errr. meant to say I think your fat," Inuyasha blurted out, knowing exactly what was going to happen. "FAT?! SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT.!!!!" that continued for the next three minutes until Kagome's throat went dry.
"They are rather cute aren't they?" Miroku said as he and Sango watched the scene. "Yes. I wish I could help search for the jewels," She said. "No, it's too dangerous sis, you should take care of the other life your responsible for, don't worry, I'll help out," Kohaku/Naraku said, internally smirking. 'Help then gather the jewels to take them for myself,' He thought.
Inuyasha pulled himself out of the ground just barely and groaned. "Damn. detachment. is gonna get me killed before I get close to mating." He mumbled and walked forward.
Kouken, Naraku, and Inuyasha stopped. "We aren't alone," They said in unison.
Everyone looked at them and then put their guards up. Sango got her new sword ready, Kagome got an arrow, and Miroku cracked the knuckles in his new hand.
"Well, we were hoping to run into you," A voice rang out. Everyone looked around to find its source.
A shadowed figure landed in the daylight on the road. "Master Snake will be pleased when we kill you, take the Tetsusaiga, and bring his mate and unborn child back," Lagarto said.
"Feh, it's just you," Inuyasha said. "Just me? I think you are wrong." Lagarto said.
Everyone looked quickly as they saw other figures jumping out of the trees, to be specific, six figures.
"We called in the others, since Bejinkah and Enfer aren't much help anymore," Lagarto said with a smirk over his lizard like head. He then eyed Kagome. "Maybe the boss's mate won't be the only one who lives," He said as his lizard like tongue licked his scaled lips. This of course made Inuyasha very mad.
*Beside each name is the translation*
"Akunin,"- Villain
"Kira,"- Killer
"Tyrann"- German, Tyrant
"Kyouran"- Frenzy
"Kinmotsu"- Forbidden
"Sobou"- Violent
Each said their names as they took their fighting stances, weapons drawn and waiting.
"This is just great," Kagome said looking scared.
"Feh! Bring it on!" Inuyasha shouted as he made his weapon all too ready.
Akunin was about 5'11, and was muscled well, but wasn't bulky. He had short silver hair, and had two stripes coming over each cheek. His face looked to be confident and cool. He wore no armor, unlike most of his comrades. He had golden eyes and stripes on his arms along with clawed fingers. He was obviously an Inu Youkai.
He wore a loose fitting shirt that cut off half way to his elbow. It was white with orange markings, and it was skin tight fitting. He had pants that were similar, but where not as tight fitting. He was obviously a Japanese Youkai, but did not wear clothing that seemed to represent the area. His weapon of choice was a Naginata, if it was magical, no one knew yet.
Kira was a female youkai, she had short cut dark purple hair that was on the verge of black. She had two light purple marks that started above her eyes and went down her cheeks under her eyes. Her eyes were an unnatural blue. She had an athletic build that was very attractive. She was a Japanese youkai without a doubt, she seemed to be a breed of Ice Youkai.
She was wearing an outfit similar to Sango's Demon Hunter outfit, except the armor plates where a very dark purple instead of a reddish pink. Her weapon of choice was two Wakizashi's (Small Katanas) and one glowed a dark purple, while the other glowed a light blue.
Tyrann was another story to every other Youkai their, he was a European Demon, there was no doubt. He was about 8'4, and was heavy built with muscle, as in massive muscle, if this guy was human, you would assume he could lift 700 pounds with one arm. His skin was a very dark turquoise blue, more blue thought. He had very long elfin ears, and red markings on the side of his head starting around the temples and moving up the side of his head. He had no hair and a bald head. His eyes where a deep red and his fingers had dark black claw like nails. He had fangs in his mouth and veins popped out on his muscled from being so compressed and powered.
He wore a heavy set of platemail that had gaps in it due to his size. It protected everything aside from the places where he had to move, his neck, and head. He had a look of evil about him. He used no weapon but his fists. The species of Youkai he was would frighten Inuyasha and the others if they knew. He was a Hell Demon, long banished from his home.
Kyouran, just from the look of him, looked completely insane; it was seen in his eyes. He was fairly large, about 6'4, and was strongly built, with a slight bit of bulk to his body. His eyes where slit like a snakes, and he had large batwings coming from his back. His skin was a reddish orange and he had long clawed finger nails. He had a goatee and his hair was cut short. He had two large bat like ears and a pair of fangs in his mouth. He was a Bad Youkai.
He wore black plate armor that was similar to Tyrann's and his weapon of choice, where two very large, cleaver like axes.
Kinmotsu was about 5'10, and was not very well built, but did have muscle. He was shadowed under a cloak for the most part, not one part of his body could be seen but his lower jaw and hands.
His weapon of choice couldn't be seen yet.
Sobou was a mass of muscle, he was about 6'10, and had dark green skin and long black hair. He wore a helmet that protected the top, back and sides of his head.
He had chest and shoulder armor, but no armor to guard his arms. He used a very large axe. He also wore some armor to guard his hips, but not to protect his lower legs.
Lagarto smirked as he himself drew his two short swords. "This is gonna be FUN!" He said with a broad smile.
"Let's kill um," Sobou said.
"MEN! ATTACK PATTERN TWELVE," Tyrann shouted, with a slight German accent.
Immediately after hearing that, the group didn't like their chances.

That's chapter 7, hope you enjoy.

"Some guy with silver hair came and killed him, I saw the whole thing, poisoned him," Kohaku said. "What? Sesshoumaru?" Inuyasha said with shock. "No, he didn't say his name though," Naraku/Kohaku said.

Everyone looked quickly as they saw other figures jumping out of the trees, to be specific, six figures.
"We called in the others, since Bejinkah and Enfer aren't much help anymore," Lagarto said with a smirk over his lizard like head. He then eyed Kagome. "Maybe the boss's mate won't be the only one who lives," He said as his lizard like tongue licked his scaled lips. This of course made Inuyasha very mad.
*Beside each name is the translation*
"Akunin,"- Villain
"Kira,"- Killer
"Tyrann"- German, Tyrant
"Kyouran"- Frenzy
"Kinmotsu"- Forbidden
"Sobou"- Violent
Each said their names as they took their fighting stances, weapons drawn and waiting.
"This is just great," Kagome said looking scared.
"Feh! Bring it on!" Inuyasha shouted as he made his weapon all too ready.
Akunin was about 5'11, and was muscled well, but wasn't bulky. He had short silver hair, and had two stripes coming over each cheek. His face looked to be confident and cool. He wore no armor, unlike most of his comrades. He had golden eyes and stripes on his arms along with clawed fingers. He was obviously an Inu Youkai.
He wore a loose fitting shirt that cut off half way to his elbow. It was white with orange markings, and it was skin tight fitting. He had pants that were similar, but where not as tight fitting. He was obviously a Japanese Youkai, but did not wear clothing that seemed to represent the area. His weapon of choice was a Naginata, if it was magical, no one knew yet.
Kira was a female youkai, she had short cut dark purple hair that was on the verge of black. She had two light purple marks that started above her eyes and went down her cheeks under her eyes. Her eyes were an unnatural blue. She had an athletic build that was very attractive. She was a Japanese youkai without a doubt, she seemed to be a breed of Ice Youkai.
She was wearing an outfit similar to Sango's Demon Hunter outfit, except the armor plates where a very dark purple instead of a reddish pink. Her weapon of choice was two Wakizashi's (Small Katanas) and one glowed a dark purple, while the other glowed a light blue.
Tyrann was another story to every other Youkai their, he was a European Demon, there was no doubt. He was about 8'4, and was heavy built with muscle, as in massive muscle, if this guy was human, you would assume he could lift 700 pounds with one arm. His skin was a very dark turquoise blue, more blue thought. He had very long elfin ears, and red markings on the side of his head starting around the temples and moving up the side of his head. He had no hair and a bald head. His eyes where a deep red and his fingers had dark black claw like nails. He had fangs in his mouth and veins popped out on his muscled from being so compressed and powered.
He wore a heavy set of platemail that had gaps in it due to his size. It protected everything aside from the places where he had to move, his neck, and head. He had a look of evil about him. He used no weapon but his fists. The species of Youkai he was would frighten Inuyasha and the others if they knew. He was a Hell Demon, long banished from his home.
Kyouran, just from the look of him, looked completely insane; it was seen in his eyes. He was fairly large, about 6'4, and was strongly built, with a slight bit of bulk to his body. His eyes where slit like a snakes, and he had large batwings coming from his back. His skin was a reddish orange and he had long clawed finger nails. He had a goatee and his hair was cut short. He had two large bat like ears and a pair of fangs in his mouth. He was a Bad Youkai.
He wore black plate armor that was similar to Tyrann's and his weapon of choice, where two very large, cleaver like axes.
Kinmotsu was about 5'10, and was not very well built, but did have muscle. He was shadowed under a cloak for the most part, not one part of his body could be seen but his lower jaw and hands.
His weapon of choice couldn't be seen yet.
Sobou was a mass of muscle, he was about 6'10, and had dark green skin and long black hair. He wore a helmet that protected the top, back and sides of his head.
He had chest and shoulder armor, but no armor to guard his arms. He used a very large axe. He also wore some armor to guard his hips, but not to protect his lower legs.
Lagarto smirked as he himself drew his two short swords. "This is gonna be FUN!" He said with a broad smile.
"Let's kill um," Sobou said.
"MEN! ATTACK PATTERN TWELVE," Tyrann shouted, with a slight German accent.
Immediately after hearing that, the group didn't like their chances.
