Inu Yasha ran out of Kaede's hut unsheathing his Tetsusaiga. "The sccent of fox demon." Inu Yasha muttered. "Kagome! Take Shippo and go into this forest! I have a feeling that this is going to be ugly."
Kagome nodded. "Inu Yasha, I sense the Shikon shard, so be careful. I think they are in his right ear. I may not be correct, though." She grabbed Shippo, who was standing stock still. As she quickly left into the forest, Shippo's eyes lingered on the horizon, where a tiny speck was appearing.
The speck quickly became a looming shadow over Inu Yasha, Miroku, Sango, Kii Kirara, Hikari, and Hakisuma. The giant fox demon was gigantic. It's eyes were gleaming an unaturally red color. It's snout was dripping with thick saliva. "Weak mortals! I have been sent my Naraku to destroy you! He has gien me a gift...the gift that will earn me many triumphs! Now, prepare to die!" the giant beast roared.
Inu Yasha was undaunted. 'You are all big talk! You are just a worthless fox demon, weak of power, so this Naraku has sent to find you and gave you a Shikon Shard...you are worthless without it!" Inu Yasha sneered.
The bush to the right of Inu Yasha and Hakisuma moved. Shippo's head stuck out of it. "Father!" he cried desperately. "Father!" The tiny fox demon was no match for Kagome's wieght and strength.
Inu Yasha took a step back and lowered his weapon slightly. Miroku looked confusedly at Shippo. Sango glanced quizzically at Shippo and Kagome's direction.
The hideous demon now had a puddle of saliva at his feet. He sneered and lowered his massive head. A boy about eleven years old was riding on his neck. The boy had brown hair and a demon extermintor suit exactly like Sango's suit. The only difference was that Sango's guards were pink and the boy's was teal. The boy carried a weapon that looked like the blade of a scythe. The blade was connected to a long chain that clinked relentlessly.
Hakisuma and Hikari glanced between Sango and this brown haired boy.
"Kohaku!" Sango yelled out. Her eyes now burned with hatred.
The fox demon sneered again and grinned hideously. "prepare to meet your doom!" the demon growled. "Fox Fire!"
The flames shot at Inu Yasha and Hikari, the two people closest to him. Hikari jumped away nimbly and Inu Yasha used his mighty blade to block the attacks. The flame, however, engulfed the blade and left it charred.
"Kagome! Take Shippo and run! NOW!" Inu Yasha shouted over his shoulder.
"You sneaky bastard!" Inu Yasha shouted. He looked at the blade in disbelief. "Naraku will pay!" Inu Yasha lunged at the fox with his sword still in his hands. When he almost reached the demon and it's passenger, Kohaku released his weapon. The blade shot foreward and hit the Tetsusaiga. The Tetsusaiga broke cleanly in half. Inu Yasha's eyes widened and Sango and Miroku gasped.
The blade had only broken once before, when they had fought a very powerful demon made by Naraku. How did a fox demon and Kohaku's weapon break Inu Yasha's Tetsusaiga?
Inu Yasha leapt back into place. "Feh. Even without the Tetsusaiga I can defeat you with just one swipe of my claws."
Hakisuma was still staring at the boy on the demon's back. "Miroku, who is that boy?" Hakisuma asked.
"He is Sango's brother. Naraku's is manipulating him." He explained in a hurry.
The fox demon released another round of Fox Fire. Hakisuma twisted as she leapt. The Fox Fire had grazed her shoulder. She landed crouching, grasping her wound. Hikari fumed. "I've had enough of Naraku!" She shouted as she leapt towards the demon. "I'll take care of you one and for all!" Hikari was stopped short. Inu Yasha was holding onto the back of her shirt.
"You've had enough wounds and they havn't healed completely yet. Look, you're bleeding again." Inu Yasha growled.
Hikari looked down. Indeed there was a puddle of blood forming where she was standing.
"You're not fighting this one." Inu Yasha declared. He lunged at the beast. Kohaku released his weapon again. This time Inu Yasha kicked it away. "IRON REAVER SOUL STEALER!" The attack headed straight for the boy and the beast.
Kohaku leapt off the fox's back and landed on the ground in front of Sango.
Sango's grip stightened on her boomerang bone. "YA!!!!!" She released her boomerang at the beast.
Miroku took a step back. He couldn't do anything. If he released his Wind Tunnel, everyone, including Inu Yasha, Sango, Hikari, and Hakusima would get sucked in.Kii and Kirara both lunged for the beast at the same time. The sudden attack left the fox in a surprise. They each took a good chunk off of him. Then something strange happened. Instead of blood gushing out, it was dirt and bones.
"AHA!" Inu Yasha shouted. His aura pulsed slightly. He gasped and looked at his hair. It was turning black. "DAMN IT!!!" he growled.
"The heart! Attack the heart!" Sango cried. Hakisuma glanced at Hikari. She was standing motionless by the bushes. She drew out her Katana. "Hiyaaaaa!!!!!!!!" Hakisuma hurled the Katanga at the heart.
"WRAGH!" Inu Yasha shouted. He had just been distracting the demon when Kohaku released his weapon and Inu Yasha.
Sango chucked her boomerang at the demon again.
The demon's eyes widened and he exploded. A Shikon shard fell out of the rubble and landed in Miroku's outstretched hand.
Kohaku leapt back a space. As he was doing so he released the blade again so that it going to swip everyone. The houshi and Sango jumped out of harm's way. Hakisuma, however, was frozen to the spot. She watched in horror as the blade hurtled closer and closer. She squeezed her eyes shut and braced heself for the sickle chain to rip open her flesh. Sudddenly Hakisuma felt a strong force yank her off the ground from her waist. The next thing she knew, she was in the air with Inu Yasha.
"Hikari!" Hakisuma yelled. Her friend was gone. Hikari had disappeared. Kohaku was suddenly surrounded by a light. He too vanished.
