A/N: Due to school starting back up on Monday I'll have to drop down to about one update a week, I'll try and get two in there but I always get a lot of homework so no promises. Besides, look on the bright side, the chapters will be much longer then. I know a good deal of you readers have been waiting for a real action packed chapter, so I hope this one delivers at least partly what you were hoping for. That being said, hopefully this one holds you over until I can find time to write the next chapter. So please, enjoy and savor this latest update

Chapter 6

Kagome had long since awoken the next morning, and after she had finished her daily routines she decided to try and find out a bit more about this Techbu character. She was thankful that he enjoyed his solitude; at least she wouldn't have to worry about any guards around here.

Kagome slowly and carefully crept down the long and narrow halls searching for anything out of the ordinary. Unfortunately she could not find anything that she hadn't already seen. She continued on for what seemed like hours until the corridors suddenly came to a halt, Kagome blankly stared at the gigantic double doors in front of her. As she reached for the handle she pulled back in hesitation, wondering if she really wanted to know what was behind it. Quickly Kagome shrugged off the thought and stepped inside to lay witness to one of the most elegant rooms she had ever seen. The walls were lined with portraits of men and golden silk. The floor this time was lined entirely by a thick dark purple rug. Though this was all overshadowed by the gaudiest statue she had ever laid eyes one. It sort of resembled a frog with sharp fangs sticking out of it's mouth, but it took up half the room and was made up of pure gold.

Kagome walked through the room until she stopped in front of a podium with a dusty old book that lay atop. She then proceeded to wipe it clean and began to page through it looking for something that may answer a few of her questions. It took a good deal of time, but her patience was rewarded when she spotted a chapter entitled "History and Nobility" She skimmed it; apparently Techbu was the 'noble' leader of his race, also the last of his kind. They were supposedly much more civilized than their youkai brothers, preferring to stick together and stay in a single place unless forced to leave. They also refused to kill any human until it was completely necessary, as she read through this book it seemed that the youkan were a bit biased, preferring to bash the youkai as much as possible while trying to make them out as the bad guys. Kagome knew better than that though.

She yawned and glanced down at her watch, it was already 8:00, she better start back if she wanted to reach her room by a decent hour. Besides, she needed time to let all this soak in.

Inuyasha silently and cautiously made his way through the streets of the city, making sure to avoid humanswhenever possible. He eventually came upon his destination, the museum. He remembered how Kagome had told him about something called an alarm system, used to try and keep thieves out. Of course he still didn't know what an alarm was, so it's not like that information was much of a help.

He climbed up to the roof making sure to stay as quiet as possible, but something was making him extremely uncomfortable. He ignored the feeling as proceeded to bust out one of the windows on top of the museum and drop in. So far everything had gone according to plan…

Inuyasha took only two steps before the lights shot on, and a familiar cold cackle could be heard from behind him. But why hadn't he smelt his presence? "Looking for this?" Techbu pulled out the dagger, causing the hanyou to emit a low growl and draw the Tetsusaiga transforming it in the process. "Ah, so you wish for a fencing lesson a? Well don't worry; I'll go easy on you half-breed."

He proceeded to raise his blade and charged at Techbu, Inuyasha swung the Tetsusaiga attempting to behead him, though he just parried it with a mocking expression twirling around Inuyasha and slicing his sword through his back. Blood gushed out, and pain seared up his back. The half-demon had to remain under control remembering what Miroku had told him.

"Do you really think you could match blades with a man like me? You're not even a full youkai; give up before you really embarrass yourself!" He practically spit the last few words out.

"Damn you to Hell!" Inuyasha charged once again, swinging his blade at every possible opening, but Techbu was just too fast, blocking every strike while seemingly mocking him in the process.

He swung the Tetsusaiga at Techbu's feet, but he jumped up into air flipping over Inuyasha and driving his sword right into his shoulder. Ignoring the pain, he spun around and sliced off Techbu's arm, he backed up while watching it drop along with the sword letting loose a sickening thud.

"Now you die!" Techbu raised out his hand while humming a few words. Suddenly Inuyasha was surrounded by a yellow mist and against his own will rose off the ground, with a flick of his wrist Techbu sent him flying into a cement wall. He proceeded to drop the entire ceiling above Inuyasha down on him, thinking that he had crushed the vermin for good.

Damn…If only I could use the wind scar, but it would bring this entire place down with it. But I guess that already happened…Though there must be a way to beat him, but how?

Inuyasha forced himself above the cement and climbed out; he grabbed his sword and prepared himself for the ongoing fight. Techbu simply turned around and held a shocked yet bemused look on his face. "Persistent aren't we?"

Techbu summoned his powers once again and began to hurl the ancient antiques that lay about at Inuyasha. He took off running dodging the flying objects as he went, he rounded the corner closest to the 'demon' and hurled himself at him slicing through his stomach spilling blood and bits of flesh everywhere. Techbu let loose a violent roar and grabbed Inuyasha by the neck suspending him above the ground. An electric current flew through his arm and fried the half-breed as he recognized it as the very lightning he had been struck by earlier in Kagome's room.

"I'm sorry Kagome." Were the last words uttered by Inuyasha before he slipped into a world of darkness.

Techbu tossed his body aside and slowly made his way over to where he had dropped the dagger. Picking it up, an idea crossed his mind and a sick smirk came across his face. He walked over to the weapons from Inuyasha's time and broke the glass swiftly picking up the older version of the Tetsusaiga. "This might just come in handy." He let out another cruel cold laugh, and in a flash of light, he vanished into thin air.

A/N: Hope you liked the chapter, because I had a bit of a writer's block with this one and really just wanted to get it done. Expect one update every weekend, and anything else is just a bonus. Also, I never did tell you what Techbu looked like, so let me describe him for you. Think of Inuyasha, except ten times hotter and creepier. And yes, that was for all the girls reading this. I would love to hear your thoughts and comments, while any kind of review is welcome. Have a nice week!
