Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I suck at writing fight scenes so bare with me if it's crappy. Another reason I haven't updated is because I've been writing some songfics. I've been getting back into the usual, failure, songfics I'm not famous for. Cuz after Wounded, I don't think I'll have another hit story. So I need to get used to not many reviews and flames again. I'm going to try and finish my story Untitled but I'm not sure I can. Not many people like my OG stories. Wounded is the first non songfic story that was a huge hit. I'm sorry but I don't think you'll see anything but songfics from now on. After all, I am the queen of songfics. So, if you liked Wounded, please read my other stories and my upcoming ones. You'll probably be the only ones who do. Thanks for your support.

Wounded
Kaboom! Every one was blown into the walls by that last attack. They were getting nowhere. Naraku was too powerful. The vile hanyou laughed at them. They all stood and tired again. Sango threw her boomerang, Miroku tried his sutras, SesshoMaru with Tokijin and Karappo with her katana's. Yet again, the assault failed. Yet they kept trying. Suddenly, the wind scar ripped through Naraku's torso. His body parts feel and began to regenerate while SesshoMaru stared in shock. Inuyasha was alive. Karappo merely huffed as she placed her katana's back and pulled out her staff.
Karappo charged at the still regenerating Naraku and proceeded to hit him with her staff. Everyone watched as Naraku yelled in agony as the staff burned his flesh. Everyone took that as a cue to attack him as well. Naraku managed to knock Miroku, Sango, Inuyasha and SesshoMaru away from him but Karappo was still bashing him. He then knocked her staff out of her hands. It landed with a crack. The orb of the staff was cracked in the center. It then returned to its necklace size and returned to Karappo's neck. Naraku then knocked Karappo to the wall.
Karappo pushed the rocks off of her. Everyone else was fighting Naraku once again. Karappo stood and began to transform. Her claws, fangs and tail lengthening. Her eyes turned acid green. Her pupils became slits in her eyes. Her ears changed shape. Her skin began to peel away, revealing ebony fur. Her face lengthened into a muzzle, whiskers popping out of her flesh. With a small explosion, she had changed into a giant panther. She growled and charged at Naraku. She planted her poisoned claws in his flesh, causing him to scream. He then wrapped a tentacle around her torso and sent her flying into another wall. She let out a roar of pain as the entire wall fell on top of her. When her head was hit, she was silenced. Soon, she was buried under the rubble.
Naraku struck the distracted fighters, causing the battle to continue. Strike after strike, blow after blow. The bloodshed was great. None of the fighters were unscathed. Naraku, on the other hand, only had a few burn marks from Karappo's staff. But those were quickly fading. Naraku quickly incapacitated Miroku and Sango. He used the wind tunnel that the monk had. He made it bigger causing both the monk and the demon slayer to be sucked in. This left only Inuyasha, SesshoMaru and an unconscious Karappo to defeat Naraku. Both Inuyasha and SesshoMaru knew that they wouldn't survive the battle.
Suddenly, there was a grand explosion. Rubble and debris was thrown everywhere. Everyone left watched as the smoke and dust cleared to reveal Karappo. She stood hunched over. Black flames had engulfed her body. Her eyes were glowing acid green, she had no pupils. Her fangs and claws were at their full lengths. Her face was covered with Celtic designs. Her breathing was ragged. Her eyes scanned the three figures before her. Then, she let out an inhuman chuckle.
"So, did I miss anything important?"
The voice that came from Karappo's mouth wasn't hers. It was deep and raspy. It sounded like the voice of a mass murderer. She chuckled as she continued to stare at them. She flexed her claws and licked her fangs. Both Inuyasha and SesshoMaru knew that the person before them wasn't Karappo. Neither wanted to ask the question. But in the end, it was Inuyasha who did.
"Who are you?"
She laughed. The sound sent chills up everyone, including Naraku's, spine.
"I am the real Karappo, I am the demon Kagome absorbed. She took my name in order to complete her transformation. I was once the greatest murderer in Japan. Until she captured me. Now I am stuck here. At least I get to have a little fun. Unlike her, I can control all this dormant power. But I won't let it lose, she will. I want to get my revenge against her, I want to hear her scream herself to death while she destroys all of you."
She laughed as she let the Karappo they all knew take control. Once she was back, she began to scream, the flames that had engulfed her body became solid and began attacking. One went past Inuyasha, he dodged it but another got him, hitting him. He fell out of the air and impaled himself on a metal rod, the rod going right through his heart. Blood poured from his mouth as his eyes glazed over and his body began sliding down the rod, his heart still planted at the top. Naraku was stabbed with about 20 of the strange things. Blood poured from each wound and his mouth as the last one went into his throat and ripped out his portion of the jewel as well as his entire neck. When all the things removed themselves, Naraku exploded.
SesshoMaru stood still, every one of the things that went near him always avoided him. He began to wonder if Karappo still had some conscious control of the strange appendages. It was then he felt one graze the stub of his arm and hit him in the back of the head, knocking him out. All the things returned to Karappo when everyone was no longer alive or able to fight. She collapsed on to the bloodstained ground as the last appendage, the one with the rest of the jewel, returned and then, the two halves of the jewel fused together. It was over, they had won.
