Chapter 14
An ominous aura took place around the paralyzed gang and Inuyasha. The air thickened up so it was hard to breathe in. Miasma was soaring through the air and made Inuyasha vision become blurry. A dark figure moved quickly through the miasma preying his food. Inuyasha began to cough violently because of the toxic miasma around him. Soon enough the dark figure came into clear view.
The demon began to laugh because of his victory. The demon had dark skin, glowing green eyes, pretty good looking, three red streaks on his cheeks, a blue and red kimono, and had the most stunning fangs. He came closer to the hanyou and showed his fangs full of human blood. It was another crazy not under control incarnation of Naraku's. He was just like Muso, he was free and Naraku had no control over the guy.
The youkai walked past the suffering hanyou and walked over to the paralyzed gang. The youkai observed his victims and was inspecting Kagome a lot. Inuyasha turned around and found the demon feeling Kagome's soft skin. Kagome could only see and hear things but couldn't talk or move anything. Kagome was becoming uncomfortable and was struggling inside. Kagome, for being a miko and all, some how was over powering the youkai's curse of paralyzing.
In no time Kagome broke free and was able to move again. Inuyasha smiled and then became serious again. The miasma was being purified with Kagome being able to move again. Soon enough the miasma was dissipating from existence. Kagome stood up straight and got out an arrow. She used the new arrows that her gramps got her.
Kilala recovered strength and hissed violently. Miroku, with his spiritual powers, was also able to break free. On the other hand Sango didn't have the right strength and physical power to break free so Miroku used his powers to help. Soon Sango was free from being paralyzed.
"Glad you can join me" Inuyasha smiled back at his friends.
"Glad to be able to move again" Miroku said while he stretched out his legs and arms.
"Inuyasha who is this guy? Is he another incarnation of Naraku. He had the miasma take over the air. Do you think you can beat him?" Kagome stared at the youkai with disgust.
"It sure looks like it. And of course I'm going to beat him" Inuyasha cracked his knuckles ready to fight.
"Inuyasha I'm sensing something strange about this one. You better watch your back. He has enormous amount of energy" Miroku examined the demon very carefully.
"Yeah I figured that much! Do you sense a weakness that will end this battle short?" Inuyasha wanted to finish up and get on for his search for Naraku.
"No not at all. Should I use the wind tunnel?" Miroku suggested.
"Can we move on?" Kagome mumbled. "PURIFY" Kagome was loosing patience so she attacked the youkai first.
The demon reflected it and it fired back at Kagome. Inuyasha ran to Kagome and pushed her out of the way. The arrow skinned Inuyasha's arm and he was bleeding pretty badly. Sango throw her Hiraikotsu and it cut the demon's arm off. The large boomerang came back to Sango and she caught by the handle. The demon turned to the demon slayer and gave her a dirty look. She got him really mad.
"Sango let me handle this" Miroku stepped in front of Sango. "Wind Tunnel!" Miroku took off the prayer beads and released the cursed black hole in his right palm.
Poisonous insects came swarming in. They went in front of the demon and were being pulled into the wind tunnel. Miroku couldn't move for some reason so the saimyosho were being drawn in. In no time the poisonous insects were gone and disappeared into the wind tunnel. Miroku could now move and he fell to the ground. Sango rushed over and saw that Miroku in so much pain that he was sweating a lot.
"Miroku can you hear me?" Sango put a hand on his face.
"Sango is he okay?" Kagome asked as she got up from the ground.
"Miroku doesn't look good. He sucked too many saimyosho this time. He is very pail and he is sweating when he's cold. It's disgusting. If we don't give him an antidote soon, he might not make it" Sango's face expressed fear and determination.
"You bastard! You're going to pay for this" Inuyasha charged the demon with his claws. "Iron Reaver Soul Stealer!" Inuyasha shouted as golden stripes came from his claws going to the demon.
The youkai got out of the way and left Inuyasha pulling his hand out of the soil.
"Don't be so sure of your self Inuyasha" The incarnation spoke.
"Why the hell should I not?" Inuyasha looked at the demon with a nasty look.
"Stop talking and fight me or unless you are afraid" Inuyasha teased.
The youkai took out a very unusual sword and charged it at Inuyasha. Inuyasha took out the Tetsusaiga and put it in a ready position. The two fought for a long time until they were both tired. Kagome couldn't keep wondering what his weakness was.
Finally she figured it out. He can't take heat. Inuyasha's attack from before was contracting heat waves in the air.
"Inuyasha use the wind scar!" Kagome shouted to the fighting hanyou. "His weakness is heat. It seems that Naraku made another mess up" Kagome explained.
"Are you positive?" Inuyasha asked while dodging the sword.
"Yeah" Kagome reassured the hanyou.
"Well here it goes. Wind Scar!" Inuyasha's sword swirled with the wind scar's power before it was released.
The demon spit into many pieces and died. Back at Naraku's manor, Naraku was watching the poor performance on Kanna's mirror.
"Damn that Inuyasha" Naraku said viciously.
Back to the gang, Miroku was twisting and turning in pain. Sango was trying to comfort him but nothing helped. Inuyasha picked up Miroku and laid him on Kilala's back. They soon rushed over to Kaede's village except Kagome. She was fetching the little girl and bringing her back to her worried parents.
"What is the matter?" Kaede asked as the demon slayer rushed in.
"Miroku needs an antidote. He has sucked in too many saimyosho and the poison is spreading very rapidly" Sango was out of breath.
"I don't know if my tactics are good enough" Kaede said doubtfully.
"Hey what about that man named Mushin? He was the one who repaired Miroku's wind tunnel. Maybe he knows a cure for him" Shippou suggested.
"Great idea Shippou" Inuyasha complemented the fox demon.
Without wasting any time they picked up Kagome and set off to Mushin's temple.
