Six chapters it is, and more chapters it will become! Don't make sense to you? Well, I'm confused by it too! :: I read it on my fortune cookie:: Lots of bloodshed in this chapter, and maybe a little insanity coming from Yami! So, sit back and have a hand on the cleanup agent, cause Red Eyes chapter six is out!! ************************************************************************

"SIT!!"

WHUMP!

That was about the tenth time that day Kagome sat Inuyasha. Yami kept score as he heard the hanyou mutter curses at the young miko. He himself was very, very tired, but he trudged along, shielding his sensitive eyes from the sun. The four female vampires walked beside him, always looking up at him. It wasn't the first time he'd been stared at, but this was the first time he'd ever been spooked out about it. He hastened his pace and walked up to Inuyasha. The hanyou looked over to him.

"What? Afraid of your fan-club?" he mocked, edging to start an argument with the cocky vampire. But instead, Yami just nodded and walked on the other side of Inuyasha, avoiding the she-vampires.

"I don't know, but they really creep me out right now. So...I think I'll stay over here with you." Inuyasha leapt in front of Yami.

"Oh no you don't! I am most certainly not going to have you breathing down my neck, vampire! I don't care who you are!" Yami's eye began to twitch.

BANG!!

Inuyasha was left in the dust, supporting a large bump on his head. Yami's fist was steaming from anger. Oh, the stress-free life he must live...

Yami's eyes began to droop down at noon as the group stopped for lunch. The whole world began to seem more and more fuzzy and blurry to his eyes. Shippo bounded over to the vampire's shoulder, he himself in need of a nap. Kagome looked over five minutes later to see the great and fearsome vampire huddled close to Shippo. She couldn't really imagine his once as Inuyasha. The four she-vampires turned to Kagome after they were sure the demon/vampire had dozed off.

Shoyu and Kurayami came to Kagome, worry etched in their immortal faces. Shoyu looked at the miko and began to speak.

"My sisters and I fear that you are all in one foot to the grave now. We came here not but a night ago, yes? We didn't exactly come on our own terms..."

"What do you mean?" Kagome became very worried.

"We...we were sent by our master with whom we have broken bonds with. He cast us out, seeking information, which we were to gather. He is second in power to Yami himself, as he is a vampire who leaps through time and dimensions. He is a long rival of Yami. We fear that he may unveil himself before us tonight, and try to pry what he longs for..."

"Which is?"

"The highest status in the vampire world. He is not after mortal possessions, though he might take Yami's blood-sword and Yami's head. I know that if they do fight tonight, it wasn't the first. I have only known one match between the two. Our master was the loser...so, we bear our warning."

"Wait! Your master...does he have a name?"

"We call him master, but his name is Kyu. I just hope that Yami can beat him again..."

Kagome's eyes went to Yami's sleeping form.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Yami woke at the day's end, night setting in. He ran his tongue over his enlarged fangs, testing their points. Sharp as ever. Running his hands through his hair, scratching the bases of his ears as his fingertips met them; he stood proudly as he tried not to disturb the still sleeping Shippo. Night had fallen, and everyone sat around the campfire, oblivious to the fact that he was awake. That didn't matter, because he liked to feed in silence.

As he tossed his third helping of blood aside, Yami felt a rip between times open up. He had felt it before. So, Kyu had found where Yami was? Good. The demon/vampire wanted a challenge for his old bones. Cracking his knuckles, he turned on the heels of his boots and walked away from the clearing. He didn't want to hurt anyone. However, Miroku had seen him slip away, and told the group. Inuyasha cursed.

"I told you he was no good! I'm going after him, no telling what he'll do to people. Damn him..." Kagome held Inuyasha's sleeve before the hanyou could take off.

"Wait! There's something you guys need to know..."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Yami found where the rip was more powerful. A light wind began blowing his hair around, letting off the evil aura around him. True, he fought to protect humans, but at one time he was another bloodthirsty vampire...

As on cue, a dark shade walked from the direction of the rip towards Yami. He had short white hair with blue steaks running down the bangs. His eyes were a crystal blue all around; leaving no telling of what was the pupil or the white. He wore a dark battle-suit, decorated with bloodstains. The man grinned, showing true vampire fangs to his opponent. Yami was not impressed.

"Kyu, can't you leave me in peace?" Yami yelled to the time-traveling vampire. Kyu chuckled.

"Alas, I can't. It's just so entertaining, chasing you through time. Why, it's almost as enjoyable as feeding. Almost." Kyu met Yami's red eyes, his muscles tensing for battle.

"If it's a fight you want, I will give it to you. Just don't expect anything different from our last round, which I believe you lost..." It was now Yami's turn to grin at Kyu, taunting at tender memories. Kyu was unfazed.

"Then let's begin!"

Yami, being part demon, clenched his fists together and released them, allowing for long black claws to appear. Kyu's eyes brightened with a white glow as he summoned creatures from different time and space realities to do his bidding. Yami's claws became stained with their blood.

"Very predictable. I thought this time you'd be a challenge. I guess you'll never change, Kyu." Yami then charged at the opposing vampire, ready to claim victory once and for all. But, somehow, the unthinkable happened.

Kyu dodged his charge as took an ice-sword out from his cloak, slashing at the demon/vampire's back. Yami's shirt ripped open in the back, cold blood pooling on its cloth. Kyu began to laugh.

"I've trained for this moment. Don't think I'm just a pushover. Now, die!" Kyu began to hack away at Yami's body, allowing no chance for him to recover and counter-attack. Kyu then thrust his sword straight through Yami's torso, pinning him to a tree. Yami's heart had been pierced.

Kyu looked at the writhing demon/vampire, a smile of satisfaction on his face. He walked up to Yami, and took Tetsusaiga from his hip. He looked into Yami's face for a minute before he began punching away at his abdomen. He threw the Tetsusaiga aside and began punching with both hands.

Meanwhile, the group had finally found where the battle was taking place, and arrived on this horrible scene. Kagome was about to take out an arrow and shoot it at Kyu, when all of a sudden Matataki and Kurayami drew her back. Kagome cursed at them, wanting to know what they were stalling her for.

Matataki's eyes grew wide with fear. "It's Yami...his aura has changed. Its best we stay here..." Kagome was about to walk out of there and strangle Kyu, when she stopped on sight.

Kyu had walked away a few feet hen he heard Yami's low, deep growl. Kyu turned to face his fallen rival, only to be very shocked. Yami's hand had a hold on the sword, pulling it away from him. The bloody ice-sword rattled as it fell on the ground. He wasn't himself; Kyu could sense that. He was...the demon/vampire terror as described in his tales!

Yami now looked like Inuyasha when he transformed into a full demon. The only difference: It would be almost impossible to change back. Kyu took one look into Yami's blood-bathed eyes, and did the only thing he could think of doing: run. Kyu dashed through the trees, hoping that would slow the crazed demon/vampire. Kyu's cold black heart jumped to his throat when he heard Yami's maniacal laugh, pooling with poisoned aura. Kagome and the others followed the two. Shippo made a note to retrieve the vampire's sword, Tetsusaiga of the vampires. If he was once Inuyasha, then this would be the key to returning him back to his original form.

Yami slashed his way through the trees, battle ready and flesh hungry. He struck more fear into Kyu when the two emerged from the trees and he took to the sky. No one could escape him now, not even this lowly insect of a vampire! He truly looked like the terrible killer as describe in oh so many legends. He was frothing at the mouth thinking of this vampire's tender flesh in his belly. Like an eagle ready to swoop down on its prey, Yami made a dive-bomb attempt at the running Kyu.

Kyu looked up for the last time to see Yami's mouth open up and tear his face off. Flapping his large wings in order to make Kyu panic, he pounced on his bleeding body. Kyu was no more when Yami's overgrown fangs clamped down on his neck, spurting blood through his teeth. Yes, a fresh kill, one never allowed to him before. The true Lord of the Vampire race had proven himself worthy and fearsome. The blood was even sweeter knowing that he himself had killed it.

Miroku was the first one to happen upon the insane Lord. He backed away, appalled at the gruesome feast. Yami had caught the monk's scent, and turned to face him. Miroku held the Kazanna close to his chest, hoping that he wouldn't have to unleash it on his friend. But if Yami didn't turn back...there was no other way.

Inuyasha was next to the battleground, followed by the others. Sango, a seasoned demon slayer, stood with shock and horror. She was not going to be able to help in the fight. Kagome too, was in shock and sheer horror. It was true that vampires are scary creatures, but when you mix it with a Lord Demon's son...the outcomes were a mixture for disaster. Yami looked at the hanyou and the monk, crouching down in a primal and feral battle stance. Yami growled and rushed at the two. The Lord of Vampires was a killer, a hungry beast. He could have his way with anything!

Inuyasha threw Miroku aside, taking out his Tetsusaiga and standing before his vampire self. Yami's claws met with the blade, both locked in combat. Yami started to become very irritated. His claws could cut through anything! Why were they stopped by a lowly sword!? Yami flapped his wings, blinding his opponent long enough to knock his sword loose and out of reach. Things had just gone from bad to worse.

Inuyasha needed the sword to seal his demon blood from overpowering his mind. Without it, he transformed into a killing machine, stopping at nothing for utter massacres and bloodsheds. It would only come out if he was in mortal danger. Kagome's mind became filled with these thoughts as Yami began slicing away at Inuyasha's body. He howled in pain as Yami's hand had been thrust through his abdomen. Yami was about to finish him off when something strange happened.

Inuyasha's amber eyes now joined with red fury as his demon blood traveled to the surface. The full demon threw the vampire/demon aside, wiping away the saliva dripping from his fangs. The newest Demon Lord and awakened in the hanyou, and was now facing off at the Vampire Lord. Yami stood up from where he was thrown, in the same feral stance. Inuyasha did the same pose as well.

With both Yami and Inuyasha bloodthirsty, Kagome's fear leapt into her heart and made her begin to panic. Who was going to stop them? Who? She screamed as Yami charged Inuyasha, long black claws about to meet with white as they would fight to the death...

************************************************************************
Yes, another cliffhanger. So, Yami still needs the Tetsusaiga just as much as Inuyasha does...how very interesting. Want to know what happens? Well, hit the review button and I'll see if I can whip up the finale to this bloody carnage sometime within the week.
