"I just know the demon took her! When I find him..." grumbled Inuyasha as he ran with his half brother.

"no, she was kidnapped by a centipede.Inuyasha, who else could have took her?" responded Sesshoumaru. Inuyasha furrowed his brow, and took a deep breath.

There was smoke in the air.

He stopped short, and looked around. Sure enough, there was wispy pillar of smoke rising right ahead of them.

Someone is attacking a village... could it be that demon? Thought Inuyasha. And the demon has Kagome...

With this thought in mind, he ran even faster than before. He caught up to Sesshoumaru in a few seconds. "Look ahead" said Inuyasha. Sesshoumaru was silent, his thoughts of retrieving Tenseiga and reviving Rin obscuring his brother's words.

Within minutes, the village came into view. What was left of it. Many of the houses were destroyed, those that weren't were burning. Corpses were strewn all over the place. None were spared, as the corpses consisted of children as well. The air was filled with the smell of the demon. Inuyasha looked around. Who would do this? He thought. He ran off to the left as Sesshoumaru ran to the right.


The few villagers that were left had formed a resistance to no avail. Akaiinu killed without Mercy, the Tetseiga slashing through bone like butter. His sister was darting around, invisible to the human eye. Wherever a villager lost his or her head was where she was.

"Kuroinu! They're here!" said Akaainu, turning to the site of the last decapitation. His twin materialized in front of him. She was grinning ear to ear.

"after you" she said, doing a mock bow . Her brother smirked and ran towards the hanyou's scent.

Akaiinu found Inuyasha running through the village. As soon as The demon approached, Inuyasha stopped short. The scent was stronger. From the corners of his eyes, he could see a blur running. He moved his hands to the place where tetseiga should be. His hands grasped at air as he remembered that the sword was not in his possession.

The blurs stopped, and Inuyasha knew his opponent was somewhere near him. He turned around slowly, looking everywhere as he did so. The blurs did not return. The scent stayed. He could feel another youkai next to him, painstakingly out of sight. Where the hell is it?, he thought.

His question was answered by a hand grabbing the back of his neck. It felt like iron, strong and unwavering. The claws digging into his throat told him it was the demon he sought. "Hello" said an equally unwavering voice, if somewhat quiet. Inuyasha wriggled against the demon's grasp, careful not to move his neck too much. He kicked backwards while using his arms to try and pry the grip.

"What...have you....done with...Kagome?" he managed to choke out. "Don't worry. She's well taken care of..." said the demon," You should be worrying about yourself..." With that, he slammed Inuyasha face first into the ground. So hard was the impact that it left a hole in the ground.
Inuyasha stood up, injured but determined. Blood dripped from his neck, but the youkai had purposely avoided his arteries. "I swear, if you have done ANYTHING to harm Kagome I'll" Began Inuyasha, but he was cut off by Akaiinu. "You'll do what? Kill me? I think that is hardly possible"


The first part of Sesshoumaru saw of her was the hair. What sort of a demon walks around with a long braid? He asked himself.

He continued walking as if he didn't see her. Actually, he could see her clear as day, but he didn't want her to know that.

"I know you can see me, Sesshoumaru! Be a man and stop!" Kuroinu said as she stopped right behind the demon lord.

He spun around, attempting to grab her. She was too quick for him, ducking underneath his arm and plunging the handle of the toukijin into his stomach. He only coughed slightly, but it was clear that she had done damage.

Kuroinu stepped back. "I've wanted to do that for soooo long, furball" Said Kuroinu, joy in her voice.

"Sorry you won't be able to kill me, Sister" Responded Sesshoumaru, obviously agitated. Fur ball.

Honestly.

Kuroinu grinned as she charged towards Sesshoumaru, Her only thought of Murder. He sidestepped, plunging his poisoned claws into his sister's back, near the spine. The Tenseiga glowed next to her, keeping her alive from the otherwise fatal blow.

"wonderful little sword you have here, furball" she said, Stretching her arms back to grasp Sesshoumaru's wrists. She parted them as if they were a child's, and once more stood up before him. If anything, she looked happier than before.

She drew the toukijin out fully, swirling it between her fingertips. The Tenseiga remained right by her side, a firm backup.

"Give it back now, and I'll kill you quickly" said Sesshoumaru. Kuroinu looked at the sword and then to him.

"So, The Great Sesshoumaru needs his precious sword. To revive his precious Human, Rin. That filthy little orphan" said Kuroinu, staring Sesshoumaru straight in the eye. His face twisted in anger.

"Don't you dare call her that, you wench!" He said. She grinned.

"now, now, Furball. I can do what I want to. I'm older, Remember?" She said playfully.

Sesshoumaru couldn't stand it any longer. He begun the transformation into his dog state, knowing that Then he could overwhelm his sister.

He was wrong.


Sorry it took so long to update, my mind was in a deadlock. I made this chapter extra long, just in case my imagination fails me once more.
