Dark
Sides and True Feelings
A/N: I am wondering if I should change the genre to something else. Such as angst or something. Anyways, here is chapter 9.
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, Rumiko Takahashi does.
Chapter 9
Miroku charged at Kagome first, remembering how much the sacred arrow damaged him. Inuyasha knew that Kagome would take too long to fire an arrow, so he tossed her backwards and protected her.
"MIROKU! WHAT IN THE HELLS IS UP? WHY DON"T YOU HAVE YOUR WIND TUNNEL ANYOMRE!" Inuyasha shouted. Miroku growled at him and shouted,
"DON'T CALL ME THAT NAME! SOME BASTARD HEALED THE VOID!
'At least Houshi-sama doesn't have to worry about the Wind Tunnel.' Sango thought.
"Inuyasha, Miroku-sama has no Shikon shards.........." Kagome said. Sango and Inuyasha looked at her, eyes wide.
"Which means, that he did this on his own free will..." Sango stated.
Inuyasha was silently cussing and asked, "So, where in the hell is Naraku?"
Miroku stopped charging and asked, "Naraku?"
Sango walked in front of Inuyasha and looked at Miroku who was only 5 feet away from her. "He was the one who kidnapped you."
"Humph, it must have been that guy who wanted me as his servant." Miroku stated.
"Are you working for him?" Sango asked.
Miroku's eyes flared and shouted, "HELL NO! I WORK ONLY FOR MY SELF!"
"Then why are you here?" she asked.
"To get this sword and acquiring the three Shikon shards that he promised me." Miroku replied.
"But you are doing a favor for him which means that you do work for him." Sango smirked.
"Whatever, as long as I get more power and kill people, I don't care!" Miroku yelled and lunged at Sango.
Sango blocked with Hiraikotsu and brought out her sword and tired to attack with it. Kagome ran to the where the sword was at and shot an arrow at Miroku. Inuyasha went to the left hand wall and used Wound of the Wind.
Kirara was by Sango ready to attack Miroku if he beat her. Sango slashed out with her sword and Miroku blocked it. He then jumped out of the way from the attacks that Inuyasha and Kagome shot out. Miroku flew to where Kagome was sitting and slashed out with his sword. Kagome rolled out of the way and ran to where Inuyasha was. Inuyasha stood in front of Sango and put Kagome next to her. "Stay behind me, you can't beat him." Inuyasha said and walked up a few feet.
Miroku smirked and said, "So you want to have a sword fight with me?"
Inuyasha jumped forward and shouted, "YEAH, AND I WON'T GO EASY ON YOU JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE MY FRIEND!"
Miroku froze instantly when he heard Inuyasha shouting "friend" at him. 'Friendship, I don't understand that trait of a person. It's just a sign of weakness anyways. But, something is holding me back from killing this creature.'
"DON"T SPACE OUT! WOUND OF THE WIND!" Inuyasha yelled and shot the blast at Miroku. Not being quick enough to dodge it, Miroku got hit by the blast and was sent flying towards the back wall.
"HOUSHI-SAMA!" Sango shouted and began to run towards him.
"STAY BACK! He is not dead, but don't come any closer." Inuyasha said while walking towards Miroku.
Miroku stood up but he was wounded a bit. He looked pissed beyond belief and flew through the ceiling while he shouted, "I'll kill you all for sure next time I see you." Miroku flew towards Naraku's castle as fast as Kirara's speed.
Everyone sighed but Sango got a determined face and summoned Kirara. Sango jumped on her and flew to where Miroku was flying.
"SANGO! WHERE THE HELLS ARE YOU GOING?"
"SANGO-CHAN! WAIT UP!"
Sango shouted back, "I am going to get Houshi-sama back, even if I die in the process." She then disappeared in the sky.
"Kagome jump on, we need to get Sango before she ends of killing herself." Kagome nodded and jumped on Inuyasha and he ran as fast as he could where Sango was heading.
To Miroku
'Dammit, that attack hurt more than I thought. Next time though, I will not hesitate.' Miroku looked at his sword that he stole from the temple. 'It is a nice sword, but I need to learn how to use it. I guess I'll train with it.' He looked at the scabbard and saw a piece of paper stuck inside. He took it out and it said,
"This is the sword of darkness. Its power is superb and some people can only wield it. The sword's name is "DarkEdge" since it kills anyone who isn't worthy of wielding it."
Miroku looked fondly at DarkEdge and he put it back into his scabbard and placed it on his back. 'I have no reason to work for Naraku anymore, I'll just take the jewel shards he showed me and travel around killing people and gaining more power.'
Just then, he heard a girl shout Hiraikotsu and he looked back to see a giant boomerang heading towards him. Miroku growled in annoyance and caught the boomerang with one hand. 'Why is that girl following me? Might as well get rid of her.' He spread his wings and shot dark blades at Kirara and Sango.
Sango saw the attack and dodged each one of them and flew towards Miroku until they were only 4 feet apart.
"Annoying girl, get out of my face before I make you." Miroku said.
Sango narrowed her eyes and shouted, "Why are you doing this Houshi-sama?"
"DON'T CALL ME HOUSHI-SAMA! I AM NOT A DAMN MONK!" Miroku shouted back.
Sango's eyes widened and said, "Do you remember me or your friends or enemies?"
Miroku scoffed and replied, "No I don't remember what my purpose is or who anyone is. My only will is to become stronger and to destroy."
Sango remembered the verses, 'He can't tell friend from foe and his only will is to become stronger and to kill.'
Miroku threw Hiraikotsu back at her and prepared to fly away when Sango shouted with tears,
"Don't you remember the night when we hugged and comforted each other?"
Miroku smirked and replied, "No I don't know what you are talking about, but I won't kill you today." With that, Miroku flew away to Naraku's castle.
Kirara flew back down and into a forest. Sango did not care however, she just cried into Kiara's back. Inuyasha and Kagome just came in and saw Sango crying. Inuyasha found Sango easily because of the tears she shed.
Kagome walked to Sango and said, "Don't worry, everything will be okay."
Sango nodded but thought, 'I wish that Kagome was right, but everything won't be okay.'
At Naraku's castle
Miroku flew in through the roof and landed where Naraku was standing. Naraku looked back and smirked,
"I see that you came back and with the sword."
Miroku growled and shouted, "Give me the Shikon shards!"
Naraku smiled and said, "Sure let me place them on your back."
Miroku narrowed his eyes but complied. He turned around and lifted up his sword so Naraku could easily place the shards in.
"Hurry up Naraku, I don't got all day."
Naraku smiled, knowing that Miroku met Inuyasha and the others. He wasn't expecting Miroku to kill them off yet, so he wasn't mad at all.
Naraku placed all three shards right into Miroku's back and smirked. The Shikon shards were completely black, even though he let go of them. Miroku's own darkness was making them pitch black. The shards were dug deeply into his back, so that you would have to take a sword out and cut his back in order to get them out.
Miroku's back was already healing and so his other wounds. Even his robes were repairing themselves. 'These shards are really powerful. I feel twice as strong and fast.'
Naraku then used the same process that he used on Kohaku to manipulate him. He contact Miroku through his mind and tried to drive him crazy.
'Miroku, can you hear me? I am talking through your mind.'
Miroku just looked back at Naraku and rolled his black eyes, 'Yes Naraku, and you can't control me. I know that you are trying to control me. Why else would you want to help me.'
Naraku looked shocked and plain pissed. 'Dammit now I can't control him, might as well kill him then.'
Miroku looked mildly amused and said, "Thanks for the Shikon shards. For that, I decided not to kill you. Farewell." Then Miroku flew off and to the West.
Naraku looked mad, but calmed down after awhile. 'I still have three quarters of the Shikon Jewel. Inuyasha has some shards and now Miroku has some. That stupid wolf has two and the Kohaku has one. Which means, there are only 5 shards that I have no idea are at. Oh well. I still need to do some of my other plans before I go after them' Naraku smiled sinisterly and walked into the shadows of his room.
Back to Inuyasha and the group
Inuyasha and the rest sighed as they camped in the forest. It was dark outside and it was the new moon. No one was in the mood to talk or travel so they all sat in silence. Inuyasha was sulking on a tree because he lost his best friend.
Kagome was in a bad mood because her friends are either emotionally wrecked or being a very sinister demon. Kirara was upset that Sango was crying and tired to comfort her by rubbing against her back.
Sango was in the worst shape of them all. She ate very little and was always crying to her knees. 'He doesn't remember anything about me. I need to help him but that last verse doesn't make any sense.' Sango thought about it again. 'Okay, what is true light and emotions that darkness cannot grasp?' Sango sighed in annoyance and rubbed off her tears. 'I'll think more about this tomorrow.'
To Miroku
Miroku flew in the night sky looking for something to do. 'I am so bored. There isn't anyone to kill. I'm glad I left that bastard though.' He sighed and landed near a river and started to drink some of the water there. Miroku then heard a young voice that said,
"Jaken-sama! Rin wants to drink some of the water there."
He heard a sigh and a voice that said, "Okay, but wait for me!"
Rin jumped into the clearing that Miroku was in. She looked at the river and Miroku who was standing near it. She instantly beamed and walked to Miroku,
"Hi, my name is Rin. What is yours?" she asked happily.
Miroku smirked and said, "I am called Miroku, but don't call me that."
Her innocent eyes widened and asked, "But why?"
Miroku walked to her and gripped her neck with one hand and lifted her up into the air. He then started to cut off her air supply. He laughed sinisterly and replied,
"Because that was my weak and pathetic side's name."
Rin managed to choke out, "He was probably nice and caring though.........."
Miroku eyes widened but he shrugged off the comment. Miroku's hold on her neck tightened and it completely cut off her air supply.
"It's time for you to die and go to hell." Miroku said and took out DarkEdge and raised it above his head. He then began to swing it down on Rin's head to end her life in one stroke.
