Sorry I didn't write yesterday, it was the last day of school, and I was so busy celebrating I totally forgot to post up the new story! Anyhow, here it is, hope you like it!
InuYasha stared up at Kanaye with a fury never known to him before. He could feel the adrenaline coursing through his veins, the blood pounding in his head. He raised Tessiaga in its blackened state, glowing brighter by the second, and yelled, "KONGUSHOHA!" The diamond shards that flew out Tessiaga were now dark and glinting, flying at an incredible speed. Kanaye once again created his force field, stopping every last one of them. He laughed.
"Still using those old tricks InuYasha? Can't you realize that my force field is impossible to break? Or is your desire to avenge that woman so great that it blinds you completely?" Whatever fear had been in him before of InuYasha was gone, replaced with his usual pride and taunting.
InuYasha could feel the dark rage he had inside of him rising. "YOU BASTARD! I WILL KILL YOU, NO MATTER WHAT!" He jumped up into the air, raising Tessiaga again. "KAZE NO KIZU!" The streaks of light flew like swords of destruction to Kanaye. But he just sliced his spear through the air, sending a shot of light to InuYasha's attack, stopping it completely. But InuYasha wasn't fazed. He sent attack after attack to Kanaye, filled with a ravaged madness. He wanted him dead; he wanted to watch him die. He would avenge Kagome no matter what. He ignored completely Tessiaga's pulsing, telling him to stop, he just concentrating on Kanaye. Kanaye blocked every attack, watching with a pleased expression.
"He is completely mad with his hate for me. Heh, all this caused by a simple woman. It's amazing, the power of 'love'. If this keeps up, his youkai blood will eventually overtake him, and he will end up destroying himself. I don't even have to do much; just block every one of his measly attacks. He's even ignoring his own sword's warnings, the fool. It's a rather sad way to die, really…"
"Come on InuYasha, hate me, Kagome's dead and there's nothing you can do about it. You couldn't even protect her; you're just a pathetic hanyou, and everyone you care about will die." Kanaye said tauntingly. InuYasha continued with his onslaught of attacks, the anger bubbling in him like a volcano that was about to erupt. "SHUT UP!" he yelled before sending another wave of Kaze no Kizu. He couldn't feel his body tiring, he wasn't aware of the pulsing coming deep from within his heart. "AHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
From the ground Sango, Miroku and Shippo watched worriedly. "We have to stop him!" said Sango frantically. "He'll transform if he carries on like this!" "But how? Kagome was the only one who could stop his attacks before, and now..." said Shippo sadly. "There has to be another way!" said Miroku quickly. "It's his sanity that's on the brink; if we just can find a way to call it back…"
Suddenly InuYasha gave a ferocious roar. He landed back on the ground, and dropped Tessiaga. His eyes grew red and sharp, dark purple stripes appeared on the sides of his cheeks, his fangs grew long, his nails extended and sharpened. "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!" he yelled, jumping up to attack Kanaye, his bare hands outstretched, ready to kill. Kanaye smirked, and sent a row of black daggers straight to InuYasha. InuYasha dodged most of them, except for one that hit him on the side of his chest, forcing him back onto the ground. The dagger hissed and melted, revealing to be a poison that entered InuYasha's body through his wound. But InuYasha ignored it and once again jumped to attack. Kanaye didn't attack him, but waited until he was right in front of him. "Now you can go join your dear Kagome in the afterlife!" he said, and just before InuYasha struck him with his claws, he impaled him directly with his spear. He then tore the spear out of InuYasha's body, and hit him with such extreme force that it sent him flying backwards with such extreme force that he created an imprint in the floor when he crashed. Kanaye waited for a second to see if InuYasha would stand up again. He didn't stir.
"Is he dead?" asked Shippo worriedly. Sango shook her head. "I-I don't know…" she said softly. Miroku ran quickly to InuYasha, holding his staff carefully, ready to be of use. Sango took a step towards him but Miroku quickly whipped his head over his shoulder and yelled, "Sango, stay back! We don't know if he's dead or not, but I'm going to check. Whatever you do, don't come towards me." Sango nodded, and hung back, but she grabbed her boomerang, ready to throw it at a moment's notice. "I don't want to treat InuYasha this way…like he's some sort of rabid animal. Oh Kagome, if only this hadn't happened." She shut her eyes, knowing that they would linger onto the battlefield were Kagome's body lay. Somehow it hadn't been disturbed by any of InuYasha's attacks, and she looked so calm she appeared to be sleeping. But Sango knew the cold truth. So she watched Miroku move carefully to InuYasha's side, and kneel down. He moved his hand carefully over InuYasha, watching to see if there was some movement. There was none. He checked InuYasha's pulse, waiting for a second.
Kanaye watched the monk, knowing very well that the youkai wasn't dead. "Pugh, my spear obviously didn't kill him…I thought it was filled with enough poison to kill 1,000 men. Oh well, he's near death anyhow; there's no point in trying to throw a final blow. He's probably in excruciating pain, as the poison courses through his body. It's better to watch him suffer."
Miroku could feel it, a light pulse, keeping the blood circulating through InuYasha's body. "He's not dead!" he yelled over to Sango. "But his pulse is very weak…I don't know how long he's going to survive. We-" He was cut off short by a sudden growl from InuYasha. InuYasha struck out his hands to attack Miroku, but was block by Miroku's staff. "Shit," thought Miroku, "His youkai blood is still controlling him!" He jumped away from InuYasha, holding his staff defensively. "InuYasha, please, remember who you are!" he yelled. But InuYasha ignored him, and looked up again at Kanaye. He readied himself to attack, but was held back by Miroku. "InuYasha, if you try to attack him again you'll die!" he told him, struggling to hold him from fighting Kanaye. InuYasha gave a snarl and slashed at Miroku, leaving three gashes across Miroku's chest, and jumped into the air in Kanaye's direction. "Houshi-sama!" yelled Sango, rushing up to Miroku, who was beginning to bleed badly. She held him up as he said, "H-he's out of control, you have to stop him…" Miroku said weakly. "But Miroku, you're seriously wounded! I can't leave you!" said Sango worriedly. Miroku shook his head, "Things will get worse if he is not stopped now." He said. Sango let go of him, and stood up. She grabbed her boomerang and threw it, yelling, "Hiraikotsu!" The boomerang whirled to InuYasha, who spotted it coming towards him out of the corner of his eye. He growled and punched it back to Sango, and continued flying onwards to Kanaye. The boomerang hit her directly in the stomach, taking the wind out of her and sending her skidding hardly across the ground. "SANGO!" said Shippo fearfully, seeing everyone around him getting hurt. "Is there no way to stop him?" he squeaked.
Suddenly he saw a young woman cross the battlefield, and bend over by Kagome's body. "Kikyo…?" thought Shippo, confused. "What's she doing?"
Ok, this is one of the last cliffhangers, I PROMISE! I hope it didn't get too confusing; trying to describe a battle is difficult! But anyhow, I hoped you enjoyed it, and I'll try to post another chapter soon!
