Dark Sides and True Feelings
A/N: Thanks to Lisa for reviewing every single chapter. I hope everyone enjoys this chapter!
Disclaimer: I think we all know that I don't own Inuyasha.
Chapter 8
Sango cried to her knees as she kept on thinking the same thing, 'I failed you and I couldn't tell you how I truly felt.'
Everyone looked at her with pity in his or her eyes, even Inuyasha. Kagome walked to Sango and put a hand on her shoulder. Sango looked up with a tear stained face and red puffy eyes.
"Sango, don't worry, we'll get Miroku-sama back and kill Naraku for good."
Sango nodded and stood up and gathered her things. Everyone also gathered their stuff and went to Kaede's spare hut.
"I'll tell the villagers to repair the ceiling. All of ye get some rest." Kaede said and went out the door.
Inuyasha and the others nodded and they all took a quick nap.
At Naraku's castle
The fake Naraku appeared in the room where the real Naraku was sitting. Naraku smirked when he saw his golem carrying Miroku. Naraku stood up and went to his golem. He destroyed his golem causing the tentacle to disappear and Miroku fell to the ground.
Miroku woke up due to him falling on the ground. He looked around and saw only a few dark walls and a guy standing near him, 'Where the hell am I?'
Miroku looked at the man that was standing in front of him and growled. 'I'm bored, might as well kill him and get out of here.'
Miroku was about to slash at him when Naraku set up a barrier around him and kneeled down to Miroku's level. Miroku slashed at the barrier but it didn't so anything. So Miroku growled and asked, "What the hell do you want?" He can't understand why, but he hates this man more than anyone else.
Naraku smirked, 'He can't remember anyone? Good.' Naraku held up the three Shikon shards that the golem had on his arm. The Shikon shards were tainted black due to the evil that Naraku had.
"Miroku-." Naraku began to say, but was cut short when Miroku yelled,
"DON'T CALL ME THAT BASTARD!"
Naraku raised an eyebrow but shrugged off the yell.
"Fine then, but do you know what this is?" Naraku asked while showing Miroku the three Shikon shards.
"NO AND WHY IN THE HELLS WHY WOULD I CARE?"
"Don't you want to be more powerful?" Naraku asked. Miroku looked at him curiosity and said,
"Yeah, that's all I want and to kill. Why?"
Naraku smirked, 'So that is what the houshi wants.'
"These shards will give you power beyond imaginable. Do you want them?" Naraku asked.
"How do I know that you're not lying?" Miroku asked.
Naraku smirked and called for Kanna. Kanna walked in holding a mirror that showed a demon that has one Shikon shard in his body. It was destroying a village.
"See this demon? Look how powerful he is. This was how he was before he had the shard." Naraku said and the image was replaced with a scrawny demon that was kicked around by humans. It was the same demon however.
"Humph, whatever. What do you want me to do in order to get those shards?" Miroku asked.
'I need to do a couple of things first before I send the monk to kill his friends.'
"First I need to get rid of your Wind Tunnel. If you had it still, you would die from it and you wouldn't be able to enjoy your power. Give me your right hand." Naraku replied.
"Fine, just get rid of the damn thing." Miroku said and held out his hand that had the glove in it.
Naraku smirked and took out a white sphere. He then tore off the glove and prayer beads, which unleashed the Wind Tunnel. Naraku then put the white sphere in the void and was consumed in a blink of an eye. The hole in Miroku's hand grew smaller and smaller until his hand was completely full again.
Miroku looked at his hand in wonder and asked, "How did you do that?"
"Simple, the white sphere is a holy object that was made by a light demon. It was used to close voids that were made by dark demons. I killed the light demon and stole the sphere for later purposes." Naraku replied.
"Now you need a weapon to battle with............" Naraku said and grinned. That was the perfect test to see if he was strong.
"My claws are good enough." Miroku smirked.
"But, there is a sword that is very powerful. Its strength grows when the wielder becomes stronger. If you had it, just think of the strength you'll have." Naraku explained.
"It sounds like a powerful sword. Where is it?" Miroku asked.
Kanna's mirror then showed an ancient temple that had all kinds of holy people guarding in.
"That's where the sword is, go in and take it. I don't care if you kill all the people-." Naraku was cut short, when Miroku laughed while looking at the mirror.
"I'll kill all of them and take the sword, then I'll return to you and you'll give me the shards." Miroku said.
"Yes, and if you continue to serve me, I'll give you more shards." Naraku stated.
"I SERVE NOBODY! I AM ONLY DOING THIS FOR THE SHARDS!" Miroku shouted. "What direction is the temple?"
"Northeast."
Miroku smirked and flew through the ceiling and to the direction that Naraku told him.
'Fool, he will be my servant when I add the shards. If he doesn't die from the sword's power, I will be unstoppable.' Naraku thought.
Back to Inuyasha and the group
Sango and the rest sighed as they traveled through the forest. They have been traveling for hours in the direction that everyone decided to go to. Still, they haven't seen Naraku or Miroku anywhere.
Flashback
Sango and the others woke up 2 hours later with renewed strength. Sango still was depressed, but she wouldn't dwell over it. She told everyone about the information she founded from the book. Kaede already fixed the ceiling and everyone was all packed to go. They decided that Shippo would stay behind with Kaede because they didn't want him to see Miroku all crazy.
They decided to go in the same direction that Kagura flew of to. So, they gathered their weapons and set off to free Miroku.
End of Flashback
Now here they are in a forest with no sign of human life anywhere. It was sunset by the time they reached a village. The village was average and there was no blood or demons. They went in and split up to see if there are any rumors about the shards or unusual happenings.
Sango went to a guy that was walking around and asked, "Is there any demons that are bugging you or any unusual events?"
The man chuckled and replied, "No because of the great blessing of Shinatta Temple."
Sango looked curious and asked, "What does the temple do?"
"Well, there are only pure and holy people there. They are the guardians of the temple and this village. They destroy demons and evil ones. Without them, this town would have been destroyed long time ago. To tell you a secret, the Shinatta Temple holds a cursed sword that is so powerful that not even the holy ones can touch it. The sword is said to devour souls that are not strong enough to wield it. I haven't met a single person who could wield its awesome power. Which is why the holy ones guard the temple."
Sango nodded and said "Thank you" and rushed off to find Inuyasha and Kagome. 'This village wouldn't have any demons, so might as well get out of here.' She met up with Inuyasha and Kagome and said,
"There aren't any demons here because a bunch of holy people guard-."
Sango was cut off when an aura that she both loved and hated was coming closer to the temple that was just a quarter mile away from the village. Kagome felt it too and looked at Sango worried. Inuyasha growled and clenched his fist
"Everyone get ready, Miroku's demonic scent is coming closer to the temple." Inuyasha growled.
Everyone nodded and Kirara transformed into her bigger form while Sango jumped on her. Kagome jumped on Inuyasha's back and sped off towards the temple.
Back to Miroku
Miroku flew until he spotted the temple that the sword was in. He stopped a few yards from the temple and landed. All of the holy people tensed and brought their weapons out. They can feel the dark aura that surrounded Miroku.
"DEMON! GET OUT OF HERE OR DIE!" shouted one of the priests.
Miroku however, stretched his wings out as far as they could to the left and right of him. A black swirl started to form around his wings and Miroku smirked.
"DIE AND GO TO HELL!" Miroku shouted and a bunch of black blades shot from his wings and at the holy ones.
"Everyone use your barrier!" shouted a priest and all of them set up a barrier that covered him or her and the temple.
Miroku just watched them thinking, 'Fools, my attack can go through any barrier.'
The black blades indeed went through the barrier and it cut up all of the holy ones in half.
Miroku smiled and went past all of the dead bodies and into the temple. The temple had only one room and wasn't decorated that much. There were two high priests that tried to attack him, but Miroku just used his spikes on his arms to cut their throats. Miroku looked around and saw the cursed sword at the back of the room. He walked to it and looked at it. The sword was in a black scabbard that had edges on its sides. The scabbard had a black strap on it so you could wear it on your back. The hilt of the sword was black and it had a sharpened edge at the end. Miroku looked at it and smiled,
'That sword's evil power is tremendous. A worthy sword for me.'
When he was about to grab it, a barrier resisted him and slightly burned his fingers. He saw the oufdas that were on the table that the sword was on. 'Damn, now I have to do it the hard way.'
Miroku once again spread his wings and unleashed his black blades at the oufdas. The blades went through the barrier and destroyed the oufdas. He grabbed the sword and strapped it to his back. He took out the sword and almost fainted by the dark energy it produced. He overcame the dark energy and the energy faded instantly. The sword was his now. The sword itself was completely black and had multiple sharp edges coming out of its sides. Miroku smirked and put it back into its scabbard. When he was about to leave, he heard a voice shouting,
"WAIT!"
Miroku looked back and saw the annoying girl with the boomerang and her little friends. "So, you came back. I wanted to kill you ever since I awoke."
Sango gasped but prepared to attack. What Miroku did was horrible and it almost made her vomit.
Flashback
Sango and the others quickly came to the temple and their eyes widened in surprise. There was 20 dead priestess and monks on the ground. Their bodies were cut in half and blood pooled around each person.
'Houshi-sama...... How did he do this?'
Inuyasha snarled and told the others that Miroku killed them with an attack. Kagome nodded and looked at the temple that Miroku was in.
"Come on guys, we must stop Houshi-sama." Sango said emotionless and went towards the temple. The others followed her into the temple.
They were greeted with two dead priests that were on the ground with blood coming from their necks. They looked up to see Miroku turning to leave, but Sango stopped him by yelling.
End Flashback
Miroku took out his sword and charged at them. The others gasped as they felt the evil and power coming from it. Inuyasha, Kagome, Kirara, and Sango all prepared to attack knowing that this will be the hardest fight that they'll ever have.
A/N: I think I grossed myself out on this chapter. I hoped you aren't grossed out either. I want to thank Demon-Slayer13 for the idea of Miroku having a sword. Don't worry, Sesshoumaru, Koga, and Kikyou will all be appearing later on. And don't forget to review!
