Chapter 7

Sakura agreed with Rei and got her Hiraikotsu ready. " Hiraikotsu! " Sakura yelled as she released it. But Ryoku dodged effortlessly. Everyone was beyond shocked. " Kukuku... shocked by my speed despite my enormous size? "

Hebi got over his shock as he charged with his staff. Ryoku simply swatted him like a fly.An imaginary lightbulb appeared upon Sakura's head. ' Perfect! ' She thought eagerly as she dug under her shoulder pad. " Hey bro! "

" Huh? " Hebi looked up. " What is it? "

" Can you pass your staff? I have an idea! "

" What is it? "

" Just pass the damn thing already! "

" Ok,ok! "

Hebi threw his staff to his sister. Sakura caught it effortlessly. ' What is she planning? Does she hate her brother that much to let him die a cruel fate? ' Rei wondered mentally. She didn't have time to think though as she dodged Ryoku's punch.

' This should work! ' Sakura thought as she opened a shell containing a purple paste. ' Mom used it once on Naraku's other incarnations, Kageromaru & Juromaru! ' She pushed the staff gently and covered it with the paste.

Sakura threw and the ground turned dark purple mixed brown. It spread throughout the area. Ryoku couldn't step on the ground anymore since the ground was hot, thick with bubbling acid, let alone run.

( A/N; Haha! Got you all, didn't I? I decided to upturn the events. I know, I know! Sango used poison but what the Hell! )

" Auuuuughh! " Ryoku cried angrily, " Damn you,Wench! "

' Now's my chance! ' Sakura thought. The good thing was that they were on arren land so there were no trees for Ryoku to land upon. " Hiraikotsu! " Sakura cried. The boomerang split the air, and it hit Ryoku square on the stomach.

" Auuuuuuuuuughhhhhhhhh! How could I be defeated by mortals & a slayer! " Ryoku cried & screamed as he turned to dust & rubble. " Everyone was paralyzed beyond belief.

" I-I... did it?... I DID IT! WHOO! " Sakura cheered. " Hey! look guys! Look what I found! " They went her way and saw that it was indeed, the first half of the sacred jewel.

DAMN! That wasn't supposed to happen! No matter! There's another half where that came from! " Naraku said. He opened his palm and there in his palm, was the last half of the sacred jewel.
Rei & company were walking along the path happily since the defeat of Ryoku. Unfortunately, the happiness didn't last long when Rei had to comment, " Hey! That reminds me! I should eat the half of the sacred jewel right now! "

Sakura cried, " No! Don't You'll choke! "

" No I won't! " Rei assured her. " Watch! " Rei swallowed the hald of the jewel and instantly turn hanyou again. " Oh how I missed you, kawaii, inu-ears! " She gleefully shouted as she tweaked her own ears.

All her friends sweatdropped heavily at her comment. Before anyone can do anything, a cloud of miasma appeared and in the depths of the miasma was Naraku.
