Author's Notes: I gotta say that I don't really like how the last chapter turned out. So I'm going to try a little harder on this one.
For anyone who is wondering what Inuyasha looks like, well he looks pretty much like he does when he goes crazy. You know whenever he is danger.
This is going to be pretty short so let's just get to the story!
et ecce equus pallidus.
The end times are nigh.
et qui sedebat desuper nomen illi Mors.
He is coming.
et inferus sequebatur eum.
And the world shall know his wrath.
All that was left was Inuyasha...
The power of the Shikon jewel swirled through his body, the evil that had built up over the years was now unleashed in one beautiful, but foreboding flash of light.
His muscles tightned and strengthened with each breath, his very exisistence changed in that single instant, he was no longer the half demon of the past.
He was a better, stronger, faster, Inuyasha than ever before.
His claws grew sharper and longer, his fangs became more potent and deadly, the demonic energy within his very arms and legs were changed to fit his newly recreated body.
The Shikon jewel had truly granted his wish, and more...
Not only did it grant his long time wish of becoming a full demon, it also supplemented his demonic powers with it's own malicious energy.
Naraku's plan to increase the jewel's power by giving it to evil humans and demons had worked, although it did not give it's intended power to him.
Inuyasha had stolen the jewel from Naraku's grasp and used it further his own powers, Inuyasha had thrown away all reason and emotion to gain this new power.
All the evil of the world was all collected into a jewel the size of a marble, a jewel that looked so beatiful and pure was actually an accumalation of wickedness.
Humans and demons alike had attributed to the state that the jewel was in now, they had all contributed their evil ways and practices to the jewel.
Humans who strived to gain this demonic powers, demons who only wished to gain more power, even humans who wished only to purify the jewel helped.
Pure and noble people who only wished to bring good to this world, but all those who possessed the jewel were cursed with only sadness and death.
Their sorrow filled the jewel with even more dark energy, the jewel savoring each and every person's life that it ruined, the more people it hurt the more evil power it gained.
The Shikon Jewel had become more like a demon itself since it had gained enough evil, it thristed for more and more blood and violence that only the demons and humans could provide.
It's strange...how demons and humans could be so alike, both hungered for power and both were ready to kill each other to gain this power.
Naraku understood this and that is why he allowed those fools to possess the jewel shards, he knew that they would all make the jewel into a dark jewel...
Even Inuyasha and his friends...
Sango...
Kohaku...
Miroku...
Kagome...
Inuyasha...
All the demons and the humans worked together to transform the jewel into a thing of evil, the jewel that grew more and more malicious with each holder.
Kagome's destruction of the jewel thus breaking it into to shards only furthered the corruption, more evil beings could gather the shards and donate their own sins into it.
"The more evil the sacred jewel encounters, the more brilliant it shines..."
The words of Naraku ran out through his head as he stood in that vortex of demonic energy, he understood perfectly what he was doing when he used the jewel.
He knew of the darkness that it had encountered in it's journeys, he knew that he would be giving up all that was human in him to gain this power.
All that he had loved with in this world was torn from him in an instant, he would make sure that all in this world would feel his wrath for this most terrible crime.
All the evil of the world would be absorbed within his body, all that he had despised in the world would now become his very definition.
Inuyasha who was neither excepted by humans or demons would now become more powerful than ever imagined before.
But at what price?
He had sacrificed everything in that made him human, everything that Kagome had ever loved was to given up so that he could exact revenge.
For the second time in his life he had given his heart to human, and for the second time Naraku ripped her from his arms.
He had promised her that he would always protect, he promised that he would use the jewel to turn human, but both of those promises had been broken.
Naraku wouldn't stop until he had taken away everything that was dear to Inuyasha, he wouldn't stop until all that Inuyasha cared about was destroyed.
That is why Inuyasha decided that he would use the jewel to further his own strength, he had nothing else to lose in this world, and had only revenge to gain.
He stood there in that swirling vortex of power...and all that he could think about was those that he lost.
His mother...
Kikyo...
Kagome...
He remembered his mother, a young maiden who had unfourtanetly given birth to a half demon, she was forever cursed have her child feared by those who didn't understand.
She was cut down in her prime by Onigumo...later know as Naraku...
He remembered Kikyo...
How he had fallen in love with a beautiful young priestess from a nearby village, he remembered every single detail of this human woman he fallen in love with.
At first he only came to her village in order to steal the sacred jewel shard, he no idea that the jewel would be protected by such a powerful priestess.
Each attempt he made to steal the jewel was thwarted by that strange madien, no matter how hard he tried he always failed to take it from her.
Most demons she would of killed...but she took pity on Inuyasha...
Perhaps it was because he was part human...
Or maybe she could sense how weak he felt inside...
It may have been that she sensed the sadness within his heart...
Whatever it may have been it didn't matter, what mattered was that she always had the chance to kill him, and yet never took it.
"Why doesn't she kill me!" Inuyasha would think as he looked at her from the safety of the bushes, it puzzled him greatly as he stared as that priestess.
"You can come over and sit with me if you like..." Kikyo suddenly said and looked over to Inuyasha, he straightened up quickly as he realized that she was talking to him.
Cautiously he lifted himself off the ground and walked over to her, he plopped himself several feet away from her and glared angrily.
After years of being hunted and feared by humans he had grown to be suspicious of them, he wouldn't trust this priestess so quickly.
That is how it went for months on end...
The two of them, Kikyo and Inuyasha, would often sit together on that hill overlooking the village.
Neither of them saying anything, just the two of them sitting together in silence.
Never saying a word, they would just bask in the warm glow of the sun and enjoy each others company.
Soon Inuyasha constant attacks on the village would shorten, he would spend more time with Kikyo as she moved around the area, he would accompany her with any chores she had.
The villagers also noticed what was going on, they didn't know what is was though, they wondered why Kikyo was acting unusual.
She would walk around the village with a happy look on her face, and she would hum and sing to herself as she helped the villagers with their lives.
Inuyasha demeanor had changed as well through the following weeks, he was more kind and understanding whenever Kikyo was around.
Eventually their relationship turned from that of friends to something more, the love that blossomed between the two was pure and beautiful.
Inuyasha promised to both her and himself that he would protect her forever, he never thought the feelings that he had for her would end.
But their love would soon be brought down by Naraku...
Onigumo exchanged his soul and badly damaged body to the demons, hundreds of smaller demons united together to be absorbed within his body.
Hundreds of demons combined together under one promise of power, together they formed into the insidious and terrible demon known as Naraku.
Onigumo was hungered and lusted for the priestess Kikyo, but now he only wished to destroy her and her lover Inuyasha.
His hate for Inuyasha ran deep within his heart from years ago, despite becoming Onigumo, Naraku still remembered how Inuyasha had destroyed his castle and freed the demon priestess.
Now Inuyasha had returned years later, to still Kikyo from him...
If he couldn't have Kikyo...then no one could...
Years ago Oniugmo saw how he would become this demon Naraku, he had seen deep within the future and saw how he could manipulate the jewel.
He knew of Kagome and Sango and Miroku, he knew that if he allowed the jewel shards to remain in the hands of demons and humans, that it would become posoined with evil.
For he knew the darkness that lay within humans hearts...
He changed his form so as to trick Kikyo and Inuyasha, posing as the two he pitted both of them against one another, how he delighted in seeing them seeth with anger and revenge.
Kikyo was "killed" by Inuyasha, but not before she sealed him to a tree, the two people who could possibly stop the newely created Naraku were stopped.
It was 50 years later...
Inuyasha was freed by a mysterious girl from the future named Kagome, this strange girl who looked just like his long dead love, Kikyo.
He was sure that he would never fall in love with another human girl, he told himself that he was only concerned with become a full fledged demon.
Yet despite his hardest efforts to not gain feelings for this strange women, he still couldn't help but fall in love with the raven haired beauty.
Once again he let his guard down and allowed his emotions to control his better judgemant, once again he felt as if nothing could stop the hapiness he felt in heart.
But once again...he was wrong...
Naraku had seen how his nephew would fall in love with yet another human, and he plotted his dark plan to fit around how she would break the jewel.
He knew that using the sacred jewel after attacking Kikyo would indeed turn him into a demon, but he also knew that the more evil the jewel encountered, the more powerful it would make him.
He purposly allowed Kikyo to be burned with the Shikon jewel, he knew that jewel would resurface over 50 years inside of Kagome's body.
He allowed the jewel shards to be scattered around the world and become possessed by evil beings, then he would hunt down the jewel shards one after one.
But he failed in his attempt to take the power of the Shikon Jewel into his own body, Inuyasha had turned his hard work against him and had gained possession of the greatest power known to man.
Yet Naraku was still calm throughout this entire ordeal, he coolly stood up and dusted the dirt off his robes and watched as the light surrounding Inuyasha shrunk back to it's point of origin.
All that was left was Inuyasha...
He stood there in the middle of the crater that he had created with his new found power, his breath now came out in controlled breaths while Naraku glared upon him.
Two blue scar-like lines ran across his cheeks, his eyes were a crimson red, his fangs now protruded from his upper lip, his claw were several inches longer and were sharper.
"Is this really Inuyasha?" Naraku thought to himself as he looked at Inuyasha, "What power did the Sacred jewel really give him?"
Inuyasha raised his hands slowly and inspected his newly transformed claws, he could feel the evil power running throughout his veins, his new demonic strength fueling his every thought.
He continously licked his tounge over his lengthened fangs to get a feel of them, he tasted blood while his sharp fangs cut into his lower lip.
He looked up from the bottom of the crater and stared at Naraku as he towered over him, Inuyasha's piercing red eyes bored into Naraku with a feeling so powerful that Naraku trembled slightly.
Hate...
Naraku took one step back as Inuyasha's stare was bored into him, Naraku now understood as to how much power was really bestowed onto Inuyasha.
He and Inuyasha were now at both ends of the power spectrum, both of them were now from the same mold as to say, they both had more in common than ever before.
Was it that they both were willing to sacrifice everything to have this power?
That they both fell in love with the beautiful priestess, Kikyo?
Was it that they both shared the same bloodline?
No, they both had something more in common now that Inuyasha was fused with the Shikon No Tama.
Both Inuyasha and Naraku had merged themselves with the most evil demons in the world, all the darkness and evil that demons possessed were now collected into two points.
Inuyasha contained within him all the sins and crimes ever committed in humanity, his body was now a vessel for the Dark Shikon jewel, a demon that was beyond all others.
While Naraku had the jewel within his possession he too had left a trace amount of himself, the jewel had incorporated even a small bit of an evil demon like Naraku.
A small part of Naraku had become imprinted upon Inuyasha himself, Inuyasha could feel the power of Naraku raging throughout his body as he lifted himself from the crater.
Now that Inuyasha was out the crater Naraku could get a better look as his foe, he could finally get a clear view of what power had been bestowed to him.
Inuyasha's traditional red kimono hung limp and tattered around his form, his claws and fangs gleamed in the candle light, but what was most noticeable was his face.
They were a piercing crimson red with dark blue pupils that bore into Naraku, two bluish scars lined both of his cheeks making him appear even more demonic.
He appeared as if he were possessed by the wild demon inside him, the demonic blood that Inuyasha had tried so hard to supress.
Naraku took several more steps backwards in suprise of how different Inuyasha looked, he had not anticipated that the jewel would affect him in such a dramatic way.
But soon he reprimended himself for being so scared of Inuyasha and regained his composure, he quickly straighted his rumpled robes and confronted his nephew.
"So this is the new you Inuyasha?" Naraku said confidently wheile he began to circle around Inuyasha, "I was wondering as to what powers the jewel may have given you..."
Inuyasha didn't move as Naraku moved around him, looking up and down his form. Although he followed him with his eyes as Naraku made a complete circle around.
Naraku stroked his chin questiongly as he returned to his inital posistion, there was neither a look of concern nor fright in his eyes as he faced him once again.
"I must say..." Naraku slyly said, brushing several strands of dark hair out of his eyes. "This new transformation of yours isn't very impressive."
Still, Inuyasha was silent.
"For such evil to be collected into the jewel..." Naraku said, walking forward slowly. "You certainly don't look any stronger..."
The two of them were now barely three feet away from each other, both Naraku and Inuyasha's demonic aura collided against each other violently, sparks appeared in the air as the two energies pushed against each other.
Naraku raised a single eyebrow as the sparks continued to fly in all directions, he took a few steps backwards to allow room for his demonic power.
Inuyasha continued to give him a blank stare as the two stared each down, he seemed indifferent and uncaring to what Naraku did or said.
His gaze had moved from Naraku to a group of humans laying on the ground beyond, his eyes darted from person to person in a questioning manner.
Two of them were apparently near death while one of them lay on the ground dead, a girl with raven hair, he could feel a strange pulling at his heart as he glanced over the girl.
Something within his heart and mind told him that he knew this strange looking girl, he squinted his eyes and searched deep within his mind to the answer of who this girl was.
The more he tried to remember the more he grew confused, it seemed as if all his memories had been erased in the transformation after he had devoured the Sacred Jewel.
Meanwhile Naraku slowly unleashed a steady cloud of poison gas, poison gas so black and thick that it would sap any warrior who dared breathed in it.
It covered the floor in a less than a few minutes, the black tendrils of smoke making their way to the falled heroes just outside.
Of course, the smoke did not go unnoticed by Inuyasha, his eyes began to flit back and forth between Kagome and Naraku.
Something...somewhere deep inside of himself...somthing told him that he must kill Naraku quickly.
But another part of him said otherwise...
Kill him slowly...torture him...make him cry and beg for mercy!
A devious smile gradually spread over Inuyasha's face, he turned his attention back towards Naraku, he smile grew wider thus revealing a row of extremly sharp fangs.
The humans as well...imagine what fun we could have with them!
Inuyasha's smile grew even wider as he glanced at the disabled humans, the monk he would probably torture for awhile, it looked as if he would last no more a minute under his claws.
The girls on the other hand...
He felt no particular inclanation towards the dead that lay a few feet away, but the girl in the pink armor, he perferred to have his meals alive while he ate them.
Inuyasha hungrily licked his sharp fangs and looked the dying girl up and down, he imagined that the girl's liver would be the most tastiest of all.
His view drifted from the girl to the unusally strong demon that stood before him at the moment, the poison gas that covered the floor had not gone unnoticed to his view.
Putting his hands into one another he cracked his knuckles loudly, his claws digged into the skin of his palms as he did this, yet he seemed not concerned with the pain.
Crack-Crack, Crack-Crack...
The silence that had stood between them was broken by the continous sound of cracking knuckles, Inuyasha moved his body around in strenous movements to loosen the tight joints.
Crack-Crack, Crack-Crack...
Bending over and backwards, Inuyasha cracked the joints loose in his back, apparently the transformation had locked his joints.
After another minute of loosening himself up and dusting the grime off his crimson robes, he straightened up to face his foe once more.
Now that he was done there was only silence in the large room that the stood in, no sound save for the sound of the wind whipping around the castle.
"Are you done yet Inuyasha?" said Naraku, his grin spread wide over his face. "I'm looking forward to see what power you have gained."
Inuyasha was only silent.
"Are you afraid of me Inuyasha?" Naraku bitterly said, his voice was as cool and calm as ice, "Do you remember the pain I caused you as a child?"
Still, only silence.
"Of course you do..." Naraku's smile couldn't have grown even wider, "Your still nothing more than a mere half-breed!
A werid twisted smile slowly spread across his face when he heard Naraku say this, he leaned his head to one side and smiled wider to reveal his incredibly long and sharp fangs.
I have no idea what your talking about...
For the first time since his transformation, Inuyasha had finally spoken, his voice had changed dramatically since the consumption of the jewel.
A voice that cut through Naraku like a knife, his voice was somewhere between a loud his and a low growl, Inuyasha's voice had become that of a true demon.
"Do not..." Inuyasha said, he reached out his hand and presented his claws to Naraku. "Stand between a demon and his meal!"
Naraku was confused...
What could Inuyasha possibly mean by standing between him and his meal, a puzzled look was on his face as he thought of what Inuyasha had meant.
Then it hit him like a ton of bricks.
Inuyasha had transformed into much more than other sentient demon, although he had more power than even the highest class of demons, he had the hunger of a lower class demon.
A hunger for the flesh of young human madiens...
Naraku's confusion was replaced by a deadly calmness when he came to this resolution, he was almost sure that he would win in this fight to the death.
Inuyasha brought up both of his claws into a ready posiston, meanwhile Naraku increased the amount of miasma that was being contained into the room.
The two of them were ready to fight and kill one another, this battle had been destined for over fifty years, they were both destined to destroy and kill until one of them killed.
Forever to fight against each other.
The Dog and the Spider.
"Do really think you be able to fight against me Inuyasha..." Naraku said calmly, "Without your precious Tetsusaiga you'll never be able to defeat me..."
Inuyasha looked breifly over his shoulder to see that his Tetsusaiga had flown across the room, it had transformed back into a rusted old sword and was now sticking out of the floor.
Inuyasha grinned and turned his attention back towards Naraku, it seemed as if didn't care that he was now unable to wield the Tetsusaiga.
"I don't need that old rusted thing to defeat a weak demon like you!"
Then...he was gone.
Naraku blinked and stared at the spot where Inuyasha had once been, he had dissapeared from where he stood and was now nowhere to been.
Naraku looked around wildly to try and spot Inuyasha, the steady stream of smog that he was emitting was now increased so as to try and smoke him out.
"Iron Reaver Soul Stealer!"
Naraku looked up just in time to see Inuyasha jump down from the rafters, golden streams of light flowing from the ends of his claws.
It was all happening in slow motion.
Inuyasha fell quickly towards Naraku, both of his claws were poised to slice him in two, Naraku eyes growing wide with suprise as Inuyasha attacked.
With a loud slashing noise, like a knife going through a large piece of fruit, Naraku's arms were almost immediatly cut off from his body.
The two limbs fell to his left and his right with a sickening thump, Inuyasha landed just before Naraku and then lept backwards so as to put some room between them.
Naraku took several frightened steps backwards and looked at his disconnected arms, his face became contorted with anger as he look at the severed limbs.
"Well it seems..." Naraku said as he walked over to his arms, he looked down at them and concentrated.
"That I will not be able to kill you so easily..."
The two severed arms started shaking as a purpilish glow surronded them, suddenly they flew upwards and reatached themselves to Naraku's body.
Naraku swung his arms back and forth after they had been reatached, satisfied that they were safely reconnceted he looked back at Inuyasha.
"Looks like I may actually have to use all of my power in this fight."
With that statement the layer of gas that covered the floor suddenly became larger, in only a few moments the entire room had become filled with poison smog.
Estuans interius ira vehementi...
Inuyasha's body was instantly swallowed up by the poison gas, his body dissapearing in the tidal wave of black noxious smog.
Narkau smiled to himself once more as he felt Inuyasha's presence fade with in the smoke, he chuckled to himself knowingly while peering into the thick gas.
Burning inside with violent anger...
"I really expected more out of you Inuyasha!" Naraku called out into the fog, "To think that a small part of me was actually living within you, ha!"
Naraku looked through the thick smog and tried to see where Inuyasha was, his expression hardend as he could not find where Inuyasha lay.
Inuyasha...
Then to Naraku's right...
Naraku glanced over just in time to see Inuyasha's claw heading towards his face, he ducked just in time while the claw swiped harmlessly over his head.
Naraku could hear the sound of Inuyasha's laughter all around him, his laughter boomed around the entire room while Naraku looked around in a effort to see Inuyasha.
Sors imanis et innanis...
Naraku gasped as he saw Inuyasha's bright red eyes peering at him through the darkness, wide open unblinking eyes that cut right through Naraku's mind.
That was all Naraku could see through the blackness of his own miasma, Inuyasha's eyes moving from point to point, eyes that were always open never blinking.
Eyes that were watching him...
Fate, monsterous and empty...
Naraku moved himself into a standing posistion and carefully watched Inuyasha movements, he promised himself that he would not be caught off guard again.
While emitting the poison gas had inhibited most of his sight, Inuyasha's glowing red eyes were a dead giveaway as to where he was located.
Naraku smiled and built up the demonic energy inside his body, Inuyasha was to going to have a big suprise next time he attacked.
Estuans interis ira vehementi...
Inuyasha walked slowly from side to side watching his opponent, the poison gas swirled harmlessly around Inuyasha as he circled his opponent.
Naraku stood there and concentrated on building up his demonic energy, Inuyasha watched with great interest as he saw his unmoving opponet.
Deciding that now was a good time attack, Inuyasha charged foward towards Naraku, his claws once again emitting a shower of gold as it tore through the miasma.
Burning inside with violent anger...
But just as he reached Naraku his attack was impeded in mid-air, a large purple dome of demonic energy had stopped his attack in it's track.
Inuyasha blinked several times and growled as his pushed against the barrier, he could feel the barrier struggling to keep him back.
Naraku grinned and looked at the struggling Inuyasha, taking the oppurtunity before him Naraku stabbed at Inuyasha with his traditional brown demon claw.
Inuyasha...
But his look of confidence soon faded as he felt his barrier slowly give way, his grin was fading quickly as Inuyasha's claw reached closer and closer.
His barrier was quickly shattered after only a few minutes of struggling against Inuyasha, he watched helplessly as Inuyasha bounded forward and prepared to attack.
Acting quickly though he brought up a tornado of poisnous gas to block his attack, Inuyasha's advance was thwarted as his claws scratched harmlessly into the pitch black twister.
Veni veni venias, ne me moli fascias...
Inuyasha jumped backwards and frowned while he watched the tornado dissapate, after the swirling gas had dissapeared Naraku was nowhere to be found.
Inuyasha glanced around the area and tried to see where his enemy had gone to, he closed and opened his hands as he waited for where the next attack may come from.
He knew not why he fighting this demon nor as to who the demon was, all that he knew was that something inside of him telling to kill this strange half-demon.
Of course this voice was quickly drowned out by the screaming of the demon in his mind, the demon that was telling him to destroy everything before him.
Come come, oh come, do not let me die...
Suddenly two giant brown roots reached up through the floor with a loud crash, they quickly entwined themselves around Inuyasha despite his struggling.
He grunted and moved his body about in an attempt to pull these roots off himself, his claws had become restricted to his sides so he could not cut them off.
From within the shadows behind Inuyasha appeared Naraku, he walked up to Inuyasha slowly and began to circle around him.
"I may have underestimate you Inuyasha..." Naraku stopped just in front of him, "But now...I'll absorb both you and the Sacred Jewel..."
Glorioso generosa accingo...
Naraku walked up to Inuyasha and stroked his right cheek with his hand, Inuyasha pulled his head back and then snapped at Naraku's wandering fingers.
"Hmph, I see you still have some fight left in you..." Naraku smirked, "I expected much more out of you Inuyasha..really..."
Inuyasha sneered at his embittered enemy and struggled once more against the roots, they creaked and groaned and twisted left and right.
The roots began to splinter as Inuyasha continued to twist his body around, Naraku took several frightened steps backwards and cursed himself for being so foolish.
Generous and nobel one...
Inuyasha smirked at Naraku as the roots gripping him began to to tear at the base, with a loud crack several shards of wood flew in every direction.
Naraku stepped to the right just in time to dodge a particularly large piece wood, he jumped backwards so as to put some distance between him and Inuyasha.
"How could I be so foolish..." Naraku thought angrily to himself, "How is he able to keep besting me!"
After Inuyasha was satisfied that he was completly free from the roots he dusted himself off, his eyes were continually on Naraku though as he brushed the soot from his robes.
Estuans interis ira vehementi...
His crimson red eyes pierced right through the darkness of the room towards Naraku, piercing red eyes that always remained open and always were upon Naraku.
Naraku searched him mind desperatly for a plan to defeat the all powerful Inuyasha, he squinted his eyes in concentration and thought to himself.
Suddenly he became aware that Inuyasha was no longer standing before him, he had dissapeared even when Naraku was looking right as him.
He turned around in every direction and looked to where he could possibly be, he quickly unleashed a large cloud of poison gas in an effort to smoke him out, though he knew that his miasma would have no effect.
Burning inside with violent anger...
"Are you looking for me?" Came Inuyasha's voice behind Naraku, "I thought that you were be more a challenge to me..."
Naraku quickly turned around and swiped at Inuyasha, but Inuyasha jumped away before Naraku's attack could even touch him.
Naraku's anger was growing quickly as he turned around to face Inuyasha, he rushed forward suddenly and began to swipe at Inuyasha with his bare hands.
Poison gas came out in wide streams at the tip of Naraku's fingers as he swiped, surely the poison gas would of killed any normal demon but not Inuyasha, the poison streams brushed against his body harmlessly as he dodged the attacks.
Inuyasha...
Naraku's wild attack and Inuyasha's seemless dodging became an artistic dance of battle, Inuyasha grinned with perfect confidence as he moved away from the attacks.
Meanwhile Naraku wasn't was so confident in his plan of attack, sweat was thrown off his face in various direction as he attacked over and over again.
He glared at the smiling Inuyasha as his attacks failed to connect each time, he was astonished as to how much the Shikon Jewel had increased Inuyasha's power.
Could it be that Inuyasha was actually feeding of the anger in Naraku's heart?
Or could it be that Naraku's power that was in the Shikon Jewel was actually negating all of his attacks?
Sors imanis et innanis...
Whatever it was it didn't matter now, what mattered was that the jewel had given unlimited power to Inuyasha.
Though the price was high...
In exchange for all of him memories, no, his very soul was exchange to gain the power of a full fledged demon.
He had even forgotten why he had devoured the jewel, all memories of Kagome and his love for her had dissapeared in the swirling vortex of demonic power.
It make you wonder...what would of the half demon Inuyasha thought of his new form...
What would Kagome think?
Fate, monsterous and empty...
Naraku swiped again and again at the ever moving form of Inuyasha, he gritted his teeth in anger and continued to attack the air where Inuyasha once stood.
Meanwhile Inuyasha simply dodged the attack without a care, he yawned as he moved away from each and every attack.
Inuyasha had grown far beyond Naraku's half demon power, the darkness within his heart had been unleashed and then supplemented by the evil in the Shikon jewel.
It was no wonder that his demonic side was so powerful, all the years of pain and suffering at the hands of humans was finally unleashed.
His demon side had grown stronger and stronger the more he felt pain, now that Kagome was dead and the Shikon jewel devoured, the demon could finally have the control he wanted.
He would make sure that the weakiling Inuyasha would gain the fear he deserved, he and Inuyasha working together forever, all humanity and demonkind would shake with fear at the mention of their name.
Inuyasha had made a deal with devil...and had in turn become the devil himself.
Estuans interis ira vehementi...
After a few more minutes of attacking and missing, Naraku became tired of the constant failure.
He stopped suddenly and leaned over to gain some of his air back, he panted and looked up angrily at Inuyasha who had a confident look on his face.
"Is that all Naraku?" Inuyasha frowned and looked down at Naraku, "I thought you would be more fun than this..."
Naraku's glare couldn't have been more malicous, the inside of his mind screamed out to kill the cocky little half demon, though he was no longer a half demon.
Burning inside with violent anger...
"But then again..." Inuyasha cracked his knuckles and grinned at the beaten Naraku, "What would one expect from a pitiful half-demon!"
Naraku's strength was re-invigorated when he heard Inuyasha's comment towards him, he lifted himself off the floor and prepared himself for attack.
But this time he did not attack wildly in hopes of hitting Inuyasha, he exuded his dark aura around the area so that he may increase his strength.
Inuyasha's confident look on his face faded as he felt the darkness spread around the room, he straightened himself up and readied himself for any oncoming attacks.
Inuyasha...
"What are you doing Naraku?" Inuyasha smirked as he cracked his knuckles, "If I were you, I'd be preparing for you imminent death..."
Inuyasha's smirk faded as he saw something move beneath Naraku robes, his shoulders seemed to moved upwards with a sharp jerk while he stood perfectly still.
His entire body began to quiver with a dark power as he exuded his aura, his robes rumbled as Naraku's body slowly began it's sickening transformation.
Inuyasha took several steps backwards as he saw Naraku transform, he sneered in disgust while the sound of Naraku's robes being ripped open from the inside filled the room.
"Well what do you know..." Inuyasha's eyes darted up and down Naraku's new body, "Your uglier than you were before..."
Sors imanis et innanis...
Narkaku's body no longer resembled that which it once was, it had become a mangled heap of demon and insect parts, all attached to his torso.
The parts of demons that were attached to his body twichted and moved independently, slime dripped of the many claws and arms that lined his body, they fell into giant pools and steamed as they hit the ground.
Sickening sounds also eminatted from the newly formed appendages, squeals and squealches that cut through the blackness of the dark and reached Inuyasha's ears.
Naraku sat in the middle of all this disguting collection of demons, his arms had extended several times their normal length, and his legs had become lost in the mass of flesh and scales.
Large veins cris-crossed his cheeks and pulsated in a continous manner, yet throughout this transformation he had managed to keep his torso and head in their usual way.
He now towered over the dwarfed form of Naraku, the top of his head just brushing the ceiling, Inuyasha looked up in disgust at Naraku.
Fate, monsterous and empty...
He had become a sickening mass of pulsating green and brown flesh, hideous shreiks and moans of demons could be heard eminatting from his body.
"I'll will not be defeated my a mere half demon Inuyasha!" Naraku screamed out, "I will absorb both you and the Shikon jewel into my body!"
Inuyasha sneered when he heard Naraku scream out his plan, he went into a ready posistion for combat as he stood before the newly transformed Naraku.
The miasma that had swirled around in the room in small puffs before now grew in size, they twisted around the two in a giant twister, thus closing them into the eye of the poison gas storm.
The two of them were now at the peak of their demonic powers, both of them were now ready to destroy one on another, whatever it took.
Destined to suffer for all eternity...the Dog and The Spider.
Veni veni venias, ne me moli fascias...
Suddenly Inuyasha leapt forward from where he once stood and rushed towards Naraku, it was in less than a few seconds that Inuyasha had closed the gap between the two.
But just before he reached him he was pushed by a mass of green tentacles, the wrapped themselves around his body and forced him backwards.
Naraku's tentacles weren't holding back Inuyasha for very long, with a loud scream he clawed the tentacles from his body, they fell all around him and twitched spontaneously on the floor.
He was back again to rushed towards Naraku, golden streams of light were scratching the air from his claws, Naraku jeered at Inuyasha and raised a scaly claw from his body and struck at him.
Inuyasha placed one foot on the floor just in time to push himself upwards avoiding the claw, he placed one claw on a scratch on his face and smeered his claws with blood.
Come come, oh come, do not let me die...
"Blades of Blood!" Inuyasha screamed out and slashed his claw in mid air, gigantic red streaks of blood flew from his claws and headed towards Naraku.
They slashed apart the mass of greenish flesh that was once his legs with a loud spurt, green blood flew into all directions and stained the walls and floors.
Inuyasha landed back down onto the floor just a the blades had done their job, before Naraku could even know what happened Inuyasha rushed back towards him.
This time there was nothing stopping Inuyasha from his deadly attack, Naraku could only watch in silent suprise as Inuyasha advanced towards him.
The walls became painted with green blood as Inuyasha slashed left and right, Naraku yells of pain and torment were drowned out by the insane laughter of Inuyasha.
"Hahahahahahahahahahaha!" Inuayasha laughed as he tore his way through flesh, "Is that painful Naraku!"
Glorioso generosa accingo...
He jumped backwards when he was done clawing and scratching at Narku body, he looked himself up and down and laughed once more at the state he was in.
His once bright red robes were now stained completly green with Naraku's blood, lit bits of brown and green skin were stuck to robes, trails of flesh could be seen hanging off his claws.
He looked at his claws with great interest and laughed at the carnage before him, he looked up the damaged Naraku and glared mockingly at him
Naraku had become a sickening sack of torn and battered flesh, the disgusting bag of demonic bulk had been reduced to rotting stinking carcass, blood poured into green puddles around him.
Bits of demoic flesh fell from his mortally inflicted wounds, the rest of him that resembled a human was now covered in his own blood, his eyes were wide with a emotion not usually seen on his face.
Fear...
Generous and nobel one...
It was then that Naraku finally realized what he had done all those years ago, he had set in motion a chain of reactions that would ultimately lead his down the road of ruin.
What he thought would be a complex plan that would give the sacred jewel, had instead given this most darkest of powers to his only nephew and most greatest enemy.
He slumped down on the floor as he could no longer support his own great weight, he weakly pressed his hands against the floor in a effort to lift himself up, but to no avail.
He fell back down to floor with a thud and gave up his attempt to regain his footing, he could only glare up in utter contempt at the gloating Inuyasha.
"I've...I've lost to Inuyasha..." Naraku cursed the very day Inuyasha was born, "How could I lose to him!"
He glanced around the room to see that bits of him littered the floor, the floor below him was now a pool of blood, he no longer had the strength to even glare at Inuyasha anymore.
He and his cousing were forever destined to kill one another...
The Dog and the Spider...
Veni veni venias, ne me moli fascias...
Their destines were forever entwined within each others, Naraku would always do anything to cause Inuyasha pain, and Inuyasha would forever swear his undying hatred for him.
But the Sacred Jewel had interrupted the flow of fate between the two, it had changed Inuyasha into another version of his uncle, it had transformed him into that which he hated most.
It had unleashed the demon that had dwelled within him for so many years, their minds had melded into each others, and the demon had gained control of this new power.
His power being supplemented by the Black Shikon No Tama, the evils of the world was all collected within Inuyasha's heart, and he had willingly accepted the devil inside.
Inuyasha no longer cared what happened to him or the others that he loved him, the only person he cared about was the demon that he had become, not even Kagome mattered to him now.
His greatest desire had been fufilled...Naraku was dead...and his was now a complete demon.
He had paid the ultimate price in the process though.
Come come, oh come, do not let me die...
Naraku shook with fear as he stared up at the blood stained Inuyasha, he could feel the tears well up in his eyes as he realized that he was soon to die.
He struggled to move away from his hideous nephew, but his movement was impared due to the sack of rotting flesh that was attached to his lower half.
He wondered to himself what he had done when he had allowed Inuyasha to gain the power of the jewel, he actually let his weakling of nephew gain the most powerful object in the world!
His plan to fill the jewel with evil had backfired in his face, and his nephew had turned into the most horrible of all beasts, how was he to know that so much power would be given to him.
Suddenly an idea popped into his head, he squinted his eyes in concentration and grinned as he realized that his plan might work.
Naraku pressed his palms to floor once more and managed to lift his top half up, he grinned at his nephew, who had a grinned plastered to his face as well.
"Do you find something funny Naraku..." Inuyasha rubbed a bit of Naraku's flesh between his fingers as he talked to him, "Or have you just realized that it is now the end!"
Glorioso generosa accingo...
Naraku could only laugh as he lied there on the floor in front of Inuyasha, his insane laughter filled the area and quickly incured the wrath of Inuyasha.
"Silence half demon!" Inuyasha gave a swift kick into Naraku face thus breaking his nose, blood spurted from Naraku's nose after Inuyasha's violent attack.
But his laughter did not die down as Inuyasha repeatedly kicked him, in fact, his laughter only increased with time.
After awhile of kicking, Inuyasha grew bored and tired, his kicking ceased and he only could look down with hatred at the bruised and battered Naraku.
Hahahahahahahahahhaahahahaha...
Then, without any warning or provacation, Naraku was suddenly engulfed in a veil of black smog.
Inuyasha jumped backwards and covered his nose to shut out the smell, his crimson eyes peered over his sleeve and looked through the smog, he could see the torn form of Naraku as he sat there.
Naraku was lifted up into the air by the winds of poisonous smog, his torso ripped itself from the demonic flesh and hovered several feet into the air.
"I will escape for now Inuyasha..." Naraku laughed through the roar of his twister, "But I will return to defeat you, the Shikon jewel will be mine!"
Naraku twister suddenly flew several feet into the clouded sky, a foul wind blew over the land as Naraku prepared to seclude himself in the safety of the sky.
But Inuyasha would not let his prey escape so easily...
"Don't think that you can escape from me so easily Naraku!" Inuyasha screamed out into the sky in pure anger.
Inuyasha eyes grew wide with anger as he screamed out his declaration, he knew that a greater power lay within his body, he was determined to do whatever it took to kill Naraku.
Generous and nobel one...
All the sound in the area suddenly stopped, it was as if all the time in the world had been seized by Inuyasha, his power was rapidly growing at an alarming rate.
His muscles started to grow in size and strength, his claws dug into the skin of his palms, he fangs grew and sharpened into mighty jaws.
Inuyasha could feel a certain surge of power eminatting inside him, he could hear the voices of thousands of demons, all of them screaming for blood.
Two voices began to emerge from the roar of the demons, one of them was foul and sly voice that he recognized to be his own, another was the voice of some pitiful young boy crying for his love.
Kill him!
Kill him!
He doesn't deserve to exist!
He killed Kagome!
Nothing can stop us now!
He killed mother!
We will be the most powerful of all demons!
We will save those who suffered to Naraku!
Inuyasha smiled as he felt his body surge with demonic energy, he nodded his head in complience to the voices, he knew that Naraku was the only reason for his existence.
He knew not who this Kagome was or who his mother was...
He knew not why he desired to be the strongest of all demons...
All that possessed his mind was to kill Naraku.
Even if he had to give up his orginal form...
Inuyasha...
Inuyasha suddenly sprouted up over a hundred miles into the sky, he bursted up through ceiling thus scattering large pieces of the building everywhere.
The building fell all over the courtyard thus endangering their lives, but luckily none of them were killed by the broken building.
It was obvious that he didn't care for them.
Inuyasha's body no longer ressembled what it once was, fur had sprouted up all over his body, he face had elongated and transformed into a foul beast's.
He had grown to thousands of feet his normal size, his hands and feet had turned into terrible paws, his face was a horrible and fearsome visage to lay eyes on.
He placed one gigantic paw on the side of the castle and the entire mountainside shook, he placed a second paw down and now the entire side of the mountain crumbled under his weight.
He blinked his gigantic crimson eyes and looked up to see Naraku's inside his fleeing miasma, he snarled and opened his mouth to let loose a terrible roar.
Two giant pools of scarlet red stared up to him with pure anger in them, they focused upon his beaten form and tracked him as he moved across the sky.
Inuyasha was now a full-fledged dog demon...
He was now just like his father.
He was now just like his uncle.
"NARAKU!" Inuyasha cried in a harsh growl, his voice resounded around the countryside and shook the very mountains themselves, "I WILL DEVOUR YOU WHOLE!"
Naraku looked back just in time to see a huge mouth gaping towards him, sharp fangs approached him at an amazing speed, he gasped out in fear as the fangs closed down around him.
Inuyasha's sharp fangs broke through the thin demonic barrier surronding Naraku and bit into him, Naraku screamed out in pain as a canine bit through his chest.
AHHHHHHHHHH!
Inuyasha's growl and Naraku's scream overcame the area with a thunderous roar, the pain and the anger and the demonic energy was more than most humans could happen.
Naraku twisted around inside of Inuyasha's mouth in an effort to escape the death bite, but their was no escape from Inuyasha's new power, he spat out profanities as the blood gushed from his wounds.
Inuyasha tossed back his head and threw Naraku up into the air, Naraku's tattered form flew up into the clouds and then quickly began to tumble back towards Inuyasha's waiting jaws.
Naraku's life flashed before his eyes, images of his sister and Kikyo, images of his demonic transformation, images of how he had lost the jewel.
He had no regrets.
Even if he were tumble into hell, he still had no regrets.
Just before Naraku tumbled into Inuyasha's jaw he let loose one final curse.
Damn you...Inuyasha...
That was the last statement that Naraku ever said, the last word that the human Onigumo would ever utter.
Naraku fell into Inuyasha's gaping mouth and was quickly swallowed up, he disappeared into the awaiting jaws and his presence was quickly snuffed out.
Inuyasha's jaws had become the gateway into hell, the gateway that beckoned Naraku to venture inside.
Naraku who had caused some much evil and strife in the world for so many years was killed just like that, Naraku who once went under the name of Onigumo and had tortured Inuyasha as a child was quickly put to a violent and terrible end.
Naraku who had transformed the Sacred Jewel into a thing of evil, he had transformed it so that he may take control of the evils of the world, so that his wish to become a pure demon would be fufilled.
But his plan had backfired, and his plot to corrupt the jewel had been his downfall.
For now Inuyasha was the master of all the evils the jewel had come to incoporate...
Inuyasha...
Miroku stirred in his unconscious state and tentavily opened his eyes, his eyes soon snapped open as he stared up the hulking dog demon overhead.
He climbed up into a standing posistion and gaped with his mouth open at the humongous demon, it towered over the destroyed castle and a deep growl emitted from it's throat.
It was then that Miroku realized that the beads that usually encircle his hand were gone, he looked at his right palm and gasped when he found that the hole in it was no longer there.
If his Wind Tunnel had disappeared...the Naraku must...
Miroku looked up in wonderment at the dog demon and soom came to the realization that it was Inuyasha, Inuyasha had finally transformed into a pure demon and had killed Naraku.
Part of him wanted to yell out in glee...the other part of him wanted cower in fear...
Inuyasha had become a most hideous demon.
Miroku looked around him at the damage that was done to the castle, his eyes narrowed in worry when he couldn't see Sango or Kagome or Shippo.
He leapt over the rocks and dug through the rubble to try and uncover them, he lifted rock after rock feverishly and prayed to Buddha that they were still alive.
The first person he uncovered was Sango, she coughed weakly as the dust entered her lungs but smiled and opened her eyes to show that she was still alive.
Soon after he found Shippo and Kirara, they were dirtied up a little, but they were still in good spirts.
He moved onto the rubble to the right of Sango, he dug through the rocks and dirt to try and find Kagome, he moved a particualary large boulder ot find Kagome lying still on the ground.
She was covered from head to toe in soot and blood, her eyes were shut peacefully while Miroku shook her several times.
"Kagome!" Miroku yelled at the top of his lungs as he shook her, "Kagome, wake up!"
Just then he saw the large hole in the left side of her chest, he stepped backwards and held back the tears as he realized that she was dead.
Shippo jumped across the rubble and looked down to see Kagome's body, he bursted out into tears when he saw that she was fatally injured.
"Kagome! Don't die!"
Kagome's friends began to crowd around her dead body and mourn her death, Sango leaned against Miroku and pressed her hand against her wounds.
Shippo clutched the tattered edges of Kagome shirt and sobbed into it, Miroku simply looked away and tried to hide the fact that the tears were welling up in his eyes.
He suddenly became aware that Inuyasha was no longer towering over them, he looked around frantically to try and spot as to where he had gone.
His sight moved over to a large hole in the adjacent wall, two red orbs could be seen within the darkness of the opening.
The red orbs moved closer and closer out into the courtyard, Miroku pulled up his staff and prepared for whatever danger may face him.
While it felt strange to clutch his staff without the hole in his right hand he soon dismissed it from his mind so that he may face whatever it was in the darkness.
The red orbs were now close enough so that he could see what they were...
Eyes...
Inuyasha's scarlet red eyes peered at him from the confines of the hole, the slightly from left to right as Inuyasha strode towards his friends posistion.
Miroku was paralyzed with fear as he stood there entranced with those demonic eyes, they stared right through him and into the depths of his soul.
Two clawed hands gripped the sides of the hole and lifted Inuyasha up out of the hole, he stood in the bright sunlight so that Miroku and the others could see what he had become.
He was clad in nothing more than a pair of black loose fitting pants, draped over his shoulder was a shirt that was of the same color as the pants.
Inuyasha grinned maliciously at the group of humans before him and procedded to slip into the shirt. It was obvious that from the size and color of the robes that they once belong to Naraku.
Inuyasha's never left the group of humans as he put on the robe, his gaze traveled from person to person with great interest and utter calmness.
"Well..." Inuyasha said with a small laugh, "I guess it's time I get my prize..."
He licked his lips hungrily and started to walk towards the humans, his sights were locked onto the badly wounded woman who kneeled before him.
Miroku, Sango, and Shippo were all frozen with fear as they watched him approach, his demonic aura was eminatting from his body so violently it nearly choked them.
A ominious wind blew over the castle as Inuyasha came closer and closer, his wide unblinking gaze was forever on Sango, his mouth grinning with anticipation at his up coming meal.
Inuyasha...
Inuyasha stopped when he heard a faint voice call of from behind his meal, something inside him twinged when the voice called out his name.
From behind his meal an arm reached up to grab the meal's shoulder, it weakly pulled the figure that was attached to it up into a sitting posistion.
It was a young girl...the young girl he had thought was dead earlier...
Her shirt was stained so red with blood that it was impossible to tell what color it was earlier, a large gaping hole could be seen in the left side of her chest.
Her face dripped with sweat mixed with dirt, her eyes were half closed in a dreamy fashion, her hair was matted with dry blood and rocks.
At first Inuyasha grinned to himself and thought that he had yet another meal...
But something inside his heart pulled at him, a quizzacal look came over his face as he stared at the girl.
Why was she staring at him in such a strange manner?
What was going on inside of him?
His heart began race, his hands trembled with some unknown emotion, his lips suddenly became extremly dry, sweat began to form on his brow.
How could a mere human girl make him feel this way?
He hadn't felt like this when he was fighting Naraku...so what was this girl doing to him.
The pulling inside of his heart soon came to feel as if he were being stabbed, a sharp pain in his right side that just wouldn't go away had formed.
He took several steps backwards in fear and clutched the right side of chest, the pain was growing more and more as he stared at the girl.
"In-Inu-..." The girl stuttered through the pain and reached out a hand towards him, "Inuyasha..."
Something inside of him told him to kill her, a voice that screamed to finish her and get on with his meal.
Yet another voice said to not kill her, to let her live and to leave this wretched place.
This time...the latter was the stronger of the two.
Inuyasha took yet another few steps backwards and turned around, whatever this girl was he didn't want to be anywhere near her, he didn't want this girl to touch him!
Inuyasha leapt from the courtyard up into the air, he disappeared up into clouds and then descended several yards away.
The others watched despondently as he leapt farther and farther away, he was now only a black speck fleeing in the distance...
Hideous Inuyasha...
They looked back at Kagome, the girl who they had thought was once dead, they wondered to themselves what do with this girl from the future.
They looked at the destruction around them and marveled at the story they would tell...
The story of...
The Dog and the Spider.
Author's Notes: Whew! After 4 months it is finally done! I both like and hate how this chapter turned out. I made most of the mistakes I usually make, but I like the basic formula of the story.
Inuyasha now wears Naraku's robes, this is to signify how much more like Naraku he has become.
I orginally wanted to name this chapter "The Great Demon, Inuyasha" but I ended up settling with "The Dog and the Spider."
It's going to be awhile until I write the nest chapter so bear with me folks, and please review and tell me what you think of this chapter!
