Disclaimers: I do NOT own Inuyasha or any of its characters.

Alright, there seems to be some confusion on what gender I am.

I am a boy. Yes, a 15 year old boy who writes fanfiction (ask The Chibi Eskimo, Alawen of Mirkwood/Wandering Namekian, or K-chan9 for proof). You may find it odd that boys write fanfiction (as my friends Chibi and Alawen thought...grr...) but the fact is that I am a guy. A man. The male gender of the species Homo Sapiens. If I sound "girly" in my Author Notes or Reviewers Responses, it's because most of the fics I read have authors who talk that way. No, there is nothing wrong with me, nor do I need to go see a doctor. And no, I don't think there's anything wrong with girls: I just wanted to clear up the fact that I am a BOY. Got it? W00t! :D

Anyways...

Inucrazy: Cute? Hmm...I never really meant for this story to be cute, but oh well...thanks!

Stephanie: Ugh, they just HAD to chuck out RK...a good anime it was. (I, on the other hand, own all episodes of RK on DVD! Bwa ha ha!)

Zimfry23: Thanks!

x-bladergirl-x: As I said, don't let the lack of reviews make you think no one's reading your stuff. Just think of the lack of reviews as a fact that your stuff's so good people are left speechless. :D

Fred the Mutant Pickle: Your brain's not working? I can fix that... #brings out the Large Stick of Smacking#

Samieko: You're correct, that's how you spell forte.

Shakujou: Thanks! And update your fic! Please!

Hayai-hakai: Ugh, return of the faulty server...but no matter! It looks like the server's back up again.

Sesshomaru4eva203: As I said above, I'm a guy, not a girl. :P And Mika, make sure you get him (or her) good.

The dusty air of the library resulted in long strings of sneezes as the tiring group pored over the old books. They were searching the old records on defeating powerful demons, using their powers against them, and what not.

"Hmm..."

"What is it, Houshi-sama?"

"Umm, the writing's kind of faded so it's hard to read... Get...a...one-time...deal...all oden...50% off...?!"

Everyone nearly did a face plant at this. Everyone, except...

"Odenodenodenodenodenoden-"

Inuyasha let out a small sigh, and then said, "You just had to get her going, didn't you bouzo?"

"Odenodenodenodenodenodenoden-"

"Ugh, someone PLEASE shut her up."

A (clean) rag to the mouth silenced Kagome somewhat.

#muffled# "Odenodenodenodenoden-"

Everyone let out another tired sigh, then got back to work (except Kagome, who was still shouting, well, you-know-what.)

-Naraku's hiding place-

The dark, floating globe of swirling energy that was Naraku paced about inside the heart of a dead volcano.

'Impressive, Naraku. I didn't expect for you to break into this body so quickly.'

'But I still have you to contend with.'

'True, true...'

The silence of the room reflected the silence inside Naraku.

It was broken when Akuma spoke up with, 'So, what do you plan to do next?'

Naraku chuckled and replied, 'Oh? So you don't know what goes inside my head anymore, do you?'

Akuma merely smirked and said, 'Another thing I'm impressed with. You've built a mental shield rather quickly.'

Naraku let out another chuckle and decided to brief Akuma on his plan.

'It's simple. Due to my invincible power I will simply hunt them down and exterminate each and every one of them.'

'Really? Now how do you suppose you'll find them? This is a rather large world, after all...I would know.'

'Simple. This is when you come in.'

Akuma was surprised for a few moments, then was in silent shock as Naraku "approached" him in his mind.

'I-iie, y-you wouldn't...'

'Heh heh heh...did you really think I would let you take up residence in my mind?' He gripped Akuma in a firm mental fist, and began channeling dark energy into him. Ignoring the anguished screams of the sorcerer, he used his dark powers to let him see what Akuma knew.

'So, Akuma can feel the presence of every living thing on this world...impressive...'

He searched a little deeper until he found what he wanted.

'A ha! There it is! So...the little fools tried to avoid my by hiding in various places? Heh heh heh...I will show them the true meaning of terror.' He released his torturous grip on Akuma and sneered at him.

'Remember, wretch, that I am of the Dark. No mental shields can ward off the consuming shadow. Now, to hunt down those fools...'

The floating ball of dark energy that was Naraku chuckled to himself and began moving off southwards.

'Heh heh heh...I will enjoy this little chase.'

-Back to the hideout-

Even after a few more hours of searching, the worn out gang failed to find any chinks in Naraku's armor.

"So we can't beat the b###### head on 'cuz he's too tough, and he doesn't' have any weaknesses either? So how are we supposed to kill him then?"

Miroshin spoke up, "Perhaps we could formulate a plan to trick Naraku into destroying himself..."

"Keh, he's not that stupid. Everytime we tried to plot against him he just sees right through our plan."

This time, Miroku spoke up with, "But how many times have we actually stopped to formulate a plan? Didn't we pretty much wing it for most of the battles?"

"H-hai, demo..."

"It feels like Naraku foils all of our plans because we never actually made them other than a simple, 'you go this way and I'll go that way' scenario."

"Keh..."

"So...what to do?"

"Perhaps a short rest will help us think up of something."

"I'll get the ramen!"

"Sugoi!"

Everyone scrambled to settle down for a nice hot meal of ramen (fortunately, Kagome brought enough to last them quite a while). But just as the water began to boil...

"Houshi-sama, do you feel that?"

"Hai...that dark jaki...it's terrible..."

"Is it Naraku?" asked Kagome, fear creeping into her voice.

Mirosuke paused for a few moments, then nodded, "Hai, it appears so. And he wouldn't appear near here by accident: he seeks to hunt us down. Mina, get ready for battle."

They replied with a sharp, "Hai!"

"Aww, and I was just about to get some ramen and a catch a few Zs..." whined Shippo.

-The battlefield-

"Come out and fight, Inuyasha!" bellowed Naraku. "Or has your recent defeat by me left you cringing like a frightened puppy before its master?" He chuckled to himself on that one.

"You're one to talk, Naraku! You're the one who's been hiding for all this time-"

"Silence weak ningen! Remember, it was I who sent you to this world! I can just as easily send you to the next world- Hell that is." He smirked and raised a glowing hand.

"I am the Dark, the consuming shadow that makes the bravest tremble and consumes all light...look upon me and despair!!" He finished the sentence with a powerful Water attack.

"I'll flush you out of your rocks like the insects you are! Liquid Torrent!"

Inuyasha yelled, "Everyone! Take cover-" before his voice was drowned out (almost quite literally) by thousands of gallons of water.

After the flood stopped, the entire gang was spread out here and there like discarded pieces of paper. Kagome, Shippo and Mirosuke were unconscious, while the rest of them were trying to get back up.

'S-such power...' thought Miroku as he struggled to get back up. 'Now we really need a plan more than ever...'

"Heh heh heh," came the annoying voice again. "What's wrong, Inuyasha? Don't you like the water?"

"Shut up! Kisama, Ho. Ibuki. Shonetsu. Infernal Breath!"

A stream of red-hot fire flew from Inuyasha's mouth...

Only to seem to "bend" around Naraku.

"Heh heh heh...was that your definition of 'hot'? THIS, is fire!" He raised his hands to the sky and shouted, "Jutsu no Ougi! Seven Hells Inferno!"

Inuyasha's eyes widened moments before all hell broke loose. 'Jutsu no Ougi? The Ultimate Spell?'

As soon as that thought flashed through his mind, seven large portals, each a different color ranging from red to black, appeared around him.

"Inuyasha!" shouted Kagome.

Inuyasha braced himself as a strange demon appeared from each of the portals, each demon holding a large ball of fire. The fireballs were of the corresponding color to the portal they appeared in (A/N: So the demon from the Red Portal would hold a red fireball, and etc.)

Naraku laughed and taunted, "This is the Fire Element's ultimate spell: Seven Hells Inferno. Feel the seven fires of the hells, each a sliver of heat from the Seven Demon Lords. Your fire rat cloak will not protect you now, Inuyasha."

He gave one last sneer before he ordered the Demons to attack. "Owakare."

"INUYASHA!!!"

The seven demons unleashed the fury of the Seven Hells upon the hanyou, the red, blue, black, white, green, purple, and gray flames melting everything upon contact.

But where was Kagome?

"Heh heh heh...and so you died Inuyasha, on a foreign, desolate world separated from home...huh? Nani?!" He turned around and saw none other than Kagome struggling to hold up a very surprised and shocked Inuyasha.

"K-Kagome..."

Kagome let the hanyou down with a #thump#, and put a soothing hand on her back.

"Ow...you really need to lay off the junk food..."

"Nani?! Says the musume who chugs down at least three cans of soda a day!"

"I can't help it if I have a caffeine addiction!"

"#AHEM#!"

"..."

"Good. Now that I have your attention, perhaps we can turn our attentions back towards something more important? Like Naraku for instance?"

Naraku stared at Kagome for a while. 'N-nani? That slip of a girl managed to evade the most powerful Fire attack? There's something peculiar about this... yes...'

"So you dodged that attack? No matter. Lightning Storm!"

"Eeeek!"

The gang was blown around like confetti by the forces of multiple lightning strikes. Landing harshly on her side, Sango thought, 'Ugh... at this rate, all that's going to happen is us running around like rats while we get killed off slowly...we need to think of something...'

"Heh heh heh..." Once more the menacing chuckle raised everyone's hackles.

"As I have said before, I am invincible. You have not a chance in the world to lay a scratch on me, much less defeat me. Just surrender now, Inuyasha, and I promise I'll make it quick."

"I-iie..."

"No? Too bad. If there's one thing wrong with Inu youkai, it's that they're too stubborn for their own good." He shot out a tentacle that pierced Mirosuke's chest and dragged the aged man closer while the victim squirmed about.

"G-grandfather!!"

"Otou-san!"

"So, I'll kill off your friends one by one..." he channeled Mirosuke's strong soul through the tentacle that pierced him and stored it up inside his arm. He casually threw away Mirosuke's empty shell and pointed his arm at the dazed group.

"And now, for a little taste of Darkness...Jutsu no Ougi! Omega Soul Flash!"

A huge, twenty foot wide blast of black energy ripped through the air like a knife but with the force of a sledgehammer.

"Get down!"

"Eeek!"

"Woah!"

"O-otou-san!!"

"Father, get down!"

...

And all was silent.

A huge cone-shaped area in front of Naraku lay completely desolate, with a dark mist beginning to creep all over the place.

"Heh heh, the soul is a powerful energy source, is it not? The powers of the Dark take full advantage of this."

He paused and floated closer to Inuyasha's position and continued, "So, Inuyasha...one of your number has fallen. The next will be someone a little bit closer...Kagome, for instance?"

"Grr...You touch one hair on her-"

"And you'll what, hanyou? You are too weak to do anything right now. Just give it up, or I'll make sure each and every one of you suffers."

"There's no f###ing way we'll #grunt# loose to you, Naraku."

He drew Tessaiga and charged, shouting, "So just shut up and die!"

As the white haired hanyou charged, Miroku thought, 'If he goes straight forward, he'll get skewered...wait, I've got an idea!'

"Kisama, Inuyasha, die!"

The tentacle shot at him at blinding speeds and was about to pierce his skull.

'Too fast...'

"Inuyasha!!" A gust of wind blew the hanyou upwards, startling both Inuyasha and Naraku.

"Quickly, Inuyasha! Attack!"

"Umm, right! Hi no Kizu!" The large flame blades erupted from deep inside the blade and slammed into Naraku, who staggered back from the force of the blow. Not wasting any time, Inuyasha followed up with a stab straight into the middle of the glowing ball.

"Teme, Naraku, how about YOU die?!"

"GAAAAAAAHH!" Naraku flew off the end of Tessaiga and landed with a #thud# on the rocky ground.

'D-did I get him?' thought Inuyasha. His question was answered when Naraku's form began rising again.

"Teme, Inuyasha..." he whispered. "You will taste the wrath, of the elements. For daring to harm this great Naraku, I will make the last few moments of your life a living hell! Now come at me wretch!"

And the battle went on...
