Wounded
Karappo launched herself into the air, her staff above her head. She began to bash Naraku with her weapon, permanent burns were left upon his skin from were the staff had hit him. He cried out in agony as she continued to hit him. Anger contorted her face as he fell to the ground. Her swings were getting faster and her strikes were getting harder as anger clouded her mind. As she continued to beat the hanyou, her eye began to glow with something both powerful and evil.
SesshoMaru watched as Karappo continued to beat Naraku. As he watched, a shiver traveled down his spine, something was wrong. Suddenly, he sensed a great amount of power emitting from her. He looked on in horror as her body began to slowly change. Her eyes glowed with something truly evil. Her body was engulfed with black flames that were solid like tentacles. He immediately knew what was going on. Thinking fast, he ran up and grabbed her around the waist. Her staff turned back into a necklace and put itself back around her neck as he ran with her under his arm, unconscious.
SesshoMaru ran for miles until he found a clearing far from Naraku's castle. He set Karappo upon the ground and waited for her to regain consciousness. When she did, she wasn't a "happy camper". She stood up, having trouble due to pain. She didn't remember what had happened. Then, it all hit her like a ton of bricks.
"Where is Naraku?"
"Half dead at his palace."
"Why didn't you let me kill him? I can do it!"
"You were loosing control."
"Control of what?"
"The dormant power within you that formed when you fused your soul with the demons."
"So what?"
"If you lost complete control Naraku and I would be dead!"
"'You' would be dead?"
"Yes."
"I see now. Yeah, I get it now. How could I have been so blind? You're using me! You just want my power! You want to kill Naraku yourself!"
"That's not what I meant!"
"You're just like Inuyasha! You pompous ass! All you want is power and you'll do anything to get it! I won't be a tool anymore! I don't see how you can hate each other, you're both the same except you're older and stronger than him! If you want to kill Naraku, you can do it alone! I can't take this anymore!"
"If that's the way you feel than fine! Leave and take your attitude with you! I never want to see you again!"
"The feeling's mutual!"
Karappo turned and began to stomp away. She didn't understand how someone she cared deeply about always turned out to be a jack ass once she got to know them. The more she thought about it, the more she wanted to cry. She stopped walking at the edge of the clearing, her tears falling silently. She stood there, wondering if SesshoMaru had left or if he was still standing in the same spot.
"I thought I told you to leave!"
Karappo felt her heart break again when SesshoMaru yelled those words at her in anger. She waited a moment, steadying her breathing and regaining her composure through the tears. She thought once again of his selfish action. That gave her the strength, even with the tears still falling.
"Sayonara, SesshoMaru. Kogasu en Naraku."
