Author's Note:

I will be introducing more new thing into my story... for example... new swords, and of course new affects.

Chapter Six: The Rescue, and the Return of Naraku

As Inutiasho barged through the wooden oak doors of his once home, he saw a male body that InuYasha and Sesshoumaru had described as their once enemy that they had killed… Naraku.However as Inutaisho turned his head he saw a female demoness chained to a stone table. At the same time Inutaisho saw a Dog Demon unsheathe his right sword and was about to cut into her wrists when he intervened. Using his right hand he caught the left wrist of his once beloved brother, Inu Tatmaru, before he could finish his downward stroke at the demoness's wrist. However as Inu Tatmaru looked at the hand, and then following the arm to the head, he saw his supposedly dead brother. Inu Tatmaru yelled for the guards, and fled the room before his brother's ghost could kill him. As the confused Inutaisho watched his brother fled, he went over the young demoness whos hair black like night, and her kimono drenched in blood, caused him to go over and using his claws break the chains holding her down, and then rushing to the other women who was also drenched in blood, but her white kimono was more like pink, and her hair.

As Kagura came she thought the man holding her up was Inu Tatmaru, but as her eyes focused they were another demon's eyes... the eyes were full of gentleness, fires of rage and loss, as well as hope. The demon opened his mouth, and said something to her.

"Are you ok?" asked the demon supporting her body by the shoulders.

"Yes," replied a weak Kagura, from the loss of blood, but as she glanced at her sister Kanna, she continued… "but you have to save me, a boy named Kohaku, and my sister Kanna!"

"Whats your name?" asked Inutaisho.

"My name is Kagura," she said pointing weakly at Kanna's body, but then weakly asked "what's yours?"

"I am Inutaisho, father to InuYasha, and Sesshoumaru," said Inutaisho.

"Ok, but can you handle yourselves while I go find this boy Kohaku?" he asked.

"We just need to know one thing before you go… do you know where our weapons are?" Kagura asked. At this question Inutaisho sniffed the air trying to find the aura of some weapon… and found three.

"Over there…" as he pointed at a desk… "they are inside."

"Thank you, and now that you have helped us, we will help in anyway we can," said Kagura as she reached into the desk and found her fan, a feather that was actually her transportation, and Kanna's mirror. As Inutaisho turned to leave he saw Naraku's new body, and as he was about to take a closer look the smell of malice, evil, poison, and demon arose from the body and made Inutaisho start gagging on such a smell. Kagura opened her fan and flew the smell away, helping Inutaisho.

"I let my guard down," he said… as he opened the door to the hall way. He left to go find Kohaku. As Kagura was about to move and dispose of Naraku's body she found herself once more staring into the eyes of Inutatmaru… Now die… he said, but with Naraku's voice.

"Naraku I won't let you kill my sister…" said Kanna as she focused her mirror onto Inu Tatmaru's body, but as the soul came out and went into the mirror she felt something else had come into the mirror that wasn't Inu Tatmaru's soul… the soul was Naraku's, and knowing him she released his soul immediately… but the soul did not go back to the original body it had come from. Instead the soul went to the soulless body on the table… that was Naraku's new body. As the soul entered the body, the body immediately transformed into a full human looking body, and afterwards their stood the new Naraku reborn with a body. Kagura looked helplessly as she was cornered, and knowing Naraku that if she made a move to kill him he would squeeze her heart ending her like once and for all…

Back with Inutaisho

As Inutaisho ran down the halls trying to find a boy named Kohaku he realized something that he had overheard Sango saying… "the reason why I hunted Naraku down with InuYasha, Miroku, and Kagome was because he killed my village… my family, and my brother Kohaku!" Now that he remembered he just had to remember Sango's scent. At this point he started trying to find a scent that resembled Sango's… as he passed each door he started smelling it… except it wasn't just scent that he was getting… it was blood.

The worried Inutaisho ran as fast as he could to where the scent was coming from… as he got to the door that had Kohaku's scent inside of it, he realized what the room was used for… the training room… without even thinking who was training he opened the door, and ran in. As he entered he screamed at the top of his lungs calling out "KOHAKU! ARE YOU HERE!" However as he came out of the fog he saw a young lad with a pony tail covered in blood as well as his chain sickle, which was more like just a chain now… his opponent a dog demon guard named Sake, due to his fighting after he got drunk was had a left ear cut off, and his entire left arm was gone. He also had the sickle in his back, but he could not reach the weapon due to being drunk. As Kohaku ran forward to deliver the finishing blow, using the chain the guard collapsed from blood loss.

Inutaisho motioned the boy to come over, and said "Kohaku, your sister, Sango, will be glad to see you, but now we must get going, Kagura and Kanna are waiting for us," as he motioned towards the door. As the left, they noticed how there weren't any guards… "strange" thought Inutaisho as he ran ahead of Kohaku to see if enemies or traps were set for an ambush. However as he returned to the room where he left Kagura and Kanna, he saw Kagura whos breathing was harsh, and she was holding her chest... Kanna lay on the ground unconscious and her mirror once again broken, but this time the glass had literally shattered, and left nothing in the frame. As Kohaku entered, his eyes all of a sudden welled up in tears…remember his past at how he killed his own family… nearly his sister a dozen times… at this time Inutaisho looked at the hurt Kohaku. He heard the laugh of another, sensing the evil that radiated from him… Naraku… and beside him stood his younger brother, Inu Tatmaru at the door way.

"So Inutaisho, you finally join us to save me incarnations?" Naraku asked looking down with glee as he transformed one of his arms into a dragon's claw.

"Then I will fight you now, and kill you," said Naraku as he jumped through the door, and put his claw back to an attack. However Inutaisho's reflexes were amazing as he ducked the assault and his hand came back up punching Naraku in the chin, but Inutaisho wasn't finished yet as his legs came up and kicked him right in the back with tremendous force that Naraku was sent flying into the ceiling… however something caught Inutaisho's eyes as two objects fell back down… two hearts… he picked them up and went over to Kagura and Kanna. As he nudged them they woke up and saw there hearts, and happily took them back. Naraku recovered as he jumped down from the ceiling. He looked as if nothing had happened. Inutaisho knew his opponents were never this weak therefore he picked up Kagura, Kanna, and Kohaku, and ran towards the exit. At his tail at equal speed was Naraku… leaving no choice for Inutaisho… he threw the three passengers onto his back… but before he could transform Naraku came up and grabbed Kohaku… at this point he retrieved something from the back, and then he threw the body back to Inutaisho, before he came back to get the boy… Inutaisho's eyes flared like blood as his revealed his true form. Running even faster then Naraku he made a good distance away from the castle before he transformed back… and dropped his three passengers from his back. They landed dizzy from the speed of the trip. Kohaku did not wake up however and that when Inutaisho noticed something… the back of his shirt was bleeding… as he looked into the wound he smelled Naraku's fingers had been there, but for what? As he was about to go ask Sango, Kagura limply walked up to him and told him the truth…

"Kohaku has a shard of the Shikon Jewel that keeps him alive in this world" said Kagura before finishing, "if the shard is removed then he will die again…" she finished with sadness in her voice.

"I see…" said Inutaisho knowing that Sango, wouldn't be very happy for the bad news, but he did have an idea… though… He told Kagura to bring Kohaku and Kanna with him to see Kagome.

"Why Kagome?" she asked before taking the feather out of her head.

"Because she has shards of the Shikon jewel," Inutaisho said… "all we need is one to keep Kohaku alive long enough to use something I need to test when I get it."

"Fine," she said before throwing the feather into the wind which made it grow. She then got the dead body of Kohaku, and told her sister to climb on. Inutaisho transformed again and ran towards where InuYasha, Sesshoumaru, and the gang were. By the time they got there is was dawn, but as he reached his destination he saw the Inuyasha, and Sesshoumaru draw their swords immediately at the site of Kagura… however before they could strike Inutaisho transformed back and told his sons that he has recruited more people for the fight against Naraku…

Everyone seemed to think the idea was bad, until Sango saw Kohaku… that was when everyone was happy for her until they all found out he was dead, but thanks to Kagome, and a few sits from a stubborn InuYasha who didn't want to give up a shard revived Kohaku, but he still did not have his memory. After that Kagura and Kanna joined the gang, and Sango nursed Kohaku back to health, but he still didn't remember. Inutaisho told InuYasha, Sesshoumaru, Kagome, Sango, Miroku, Jaken, Rin, and Shippo about how Naraku had returned. After that day that had a guard up every night…

That morning Inutaisho went to go check on the progress of the swords at Totosai's, but they were still incomplete for at least another half day. On the return from Totosai's he noticed the sound clashing of swords…. "Great, he thought "my sons are at it again."

However as he got there they weren't fighting but sparing…

"Sesshoumaru, this time I'll beat you said InuYasha. Raising Tetsaiga above his head and getting ready for the Wind Scar.

"Not in your life time," yelled back Sesshoumaru as he was raising Tokijin above his head with his right arm and hold Tensaiga out like a defensive just in case with his left arm…

"WIND SCAR!" screamed InuYasha as he saw where the winds of his aura, and his brother's aura collide. However Sesshoumaru merely used his Tensaiga to teleport behind InuYasha and was about to swing when he stopped a centimeter from InuYasha's unguarded head. At this Inutaisho heard a ring or a bell as the whole group cheered at how good the match was even though InuYasha had lost every mast so far out of ten.

"Kagome I need some ramen!" cried a whining InuYasha, sheathing his Tetsaiga. However at that moment Inu Tatmaru showed up and challenged Inutaisho in a sword fight… however Inutaisho didn't have a sword… Sesshoumaru and InuYasha offered to loan theres, but before Inutaisho could even answer he heard a moo from above… and down came a three eyed cow from the sky like a meteorite… on the cow's back was none other then Totosai, but he didn't only have two swords, but three swords as well as Sango Hiraikotsu, but there wasn't just one Hirarkotsu, but two of them were more like sword boomerages that were 1/8 the size of the original boomerang… and the other two were just regular Hiraikotsu, only that Sango, could replace one with the other if the other was broken.

"TOTOSAI!" everyone yelled except InuTatmaru.

"Yes, Inutaisho I finished your swords," I know they should have been finished yesterday, but I needed to make sure the powers were all right before I gave them to you… and they are," said Totosai handing Inutaisho three swords…

"Three?" asked Inutaisho with a confused look on his face, "but two of them look exacty the same…and besides I only asked for two "

"Those two swords are actually a set, you must combine them for their full potential," replied an annoyed Totosai.

"Are you ready to do battle?" asked Inu Tatmaru unsheathing his two katanas and combining them to create Helsaiga.

"I am ready, "said Inutaisho, as he unsheathed his twin katanas as well, but as he pushed the blades together, the blades merged… forming a new blade for the previous Lord of the Western Lands…Araumaeienbatou, the untamed sword of eternity. A silence moment occured before Inu Tatmaru struck down with Helsaiga, while Inutaisho did the same. Energies of gold, and scarlet went towards the purple and black light. As everyone watched in awe... an explosion occured between the two blasts.
