Chapter 29

The shadow of one's dark side

As Inuyasha with Sailor Moon and her friends face off against Tsubaki, Musou and Queen Metalia concerns rose as the others weren't sure if they could beat them, but Sailor Moon, Sesshomaru and Inuyasha were confident that they could.

"Sailor Moon how nice to see you again." Queen Metalia greeted as her eyes glowed with a sinister glare.

"I'll bet Naraku brought you three back didn't he?" Inuyasha asked with a scornful expression.

"He did and in exchange for him reviving us we get to have our revenge against you all." Queen Metalia answered as she threw a powerful bolt of lighting at the group while the other two with the former queen launched their attack. Sailor Moon and Inuyasha jumped to the side to avoid the blast while Kagome fired an arrow at Musou as he ran towards Kagura and Chibi-Chibi.

"What is wrong with him? I thought Musou hated Naraku?" Kagura shouted as she moved to the side and used a powerful flow of wind to keep the face stealing back.

"With all of that evil within his body Naraku can easily control them regardless if they are willing to obey him or not." Chibi-Chibi replied.

"Well that's just great!" Inuyasha said as he attacked Musou by punching him into the face as he sent the face stealing flying into a wall on the far side of the room.

"I have no time to deal with such pests." Sesshomaru said as he used his sword Toukijin to unleash a wave of energy at Tsubaki and Queen Metalia forcing them back as the energy wave did minor damage to them. Princess Kakyuu used a fire ball to set Tsubaki's robes aflame while Musou was trying to attack her from behind.

Kagura saved the fireball Princess by using her wind blades to slice Musou apart, but Musou quickly reformed and attacked Kagura with a claw strike to her eyes. Kagura fell back as she had one hand over her eyes covering the wound Musou had infected upon her. Kohaku threw his weapon at the face stealing to draw it away, but after the demon attacked him. Musou it hit Kohaku in the face it rushed back towards Kagura intent on finishing the job.

"My eyes I can't see." Kagura said as her eyes were blank now because Musou had rendered Kagura blind.

"Kagura used your dance of the dragon attack behind you now!" Chibi-usa instructed as the wind witch attacked Musou thanks to the young moon princess's instructions. Her attack ripped Musou's body apart to small bits, but before they could reform Inuyasha used his claws to destroy Musou's heart killing the creature.

Mouryoumaru fought against the evil queen of the Negaverse as the demon blasted the monster with a beam of energy slamming Queen Metalia into a solid stone wall leaving an imprint of her body on it. However the evil queen countered attacked by blasting Mouryoumaru with a sphere of dark energy leaving a large hole in the demon's body and causing the demon to fall to the ground.

The evil priestess Tsubaki used her snake to attack Kagome and Chibi-usa, but Sailor Moon stepped in with the Tetsusaiga and she used the Kaze no Kizu on the two monsters while Kakyuu, Kagome and Sesshomaru added to the attack with a blast of energy from the Toukijin, Kagome's purifying arrow, and some of Kakyuu's fireballs. The two creatures were caught in the blast of energy, but they suddenly vanished.

"Hey where did they go?" Sailor Moon asked because she was sure there was no way Queen Metalia would have been destroyed so easily.

Suddenly from behind Tsubaki used a beam of gold energy to steal Chibi-usa's start seed while Queen Metalia captured Chibi-Chibi as she rose up from the shadows long enough to grab her and disappear. Once everything was said and done everyone was surprised by what had transpired.

"Chibi-usa…she…is." Sailor Moon said as tears started to fill her eyes.

"She's gone." Inuyasha said as he cracked his knuckles.

"Naraku is going down." Sailor Moon said as her eyes suddenly filled with signs of fury.

"Let's keep moving before Naraku removes Chibi-Chibi's star seed." Sesshomaru suggested as everyone went forward heading into the next room.

Meanwhile in his lab Marik is working on Inuyasha's hair he found and he was dropping it into a small bucket size container of demon blood. Marik energized the blood with demonic energy as the blood ate the hair and it began bubbling until it exploded. After the smoked cleared a creature with glowing red eyes was standing in the place of the bucket. At that moment inside Naraku's throne room. Naraku had a smile on his face as he said to himself.

"The Star Seed of The light of hope and entropy are mine. However my dear your power shall be merged with mines and once I have the star seeds of stars and souls and the Star Seed of love the universe will be mine." Naraku thought as his eyes glowed red. "Now as for you bunch. My new allies I want you to be ready to attack our heroes when they arrive." Naraku said as he looked at a group of people in the shadows stand near by.

Inside a dark corridor Inuyasha, Sailor Moon, Kagura, Kohaku, Kanna, Princess Kakyuu, Mouryoumaru, Sesshomaru and Kagome continued on their way drawing closer and closer to Naraku's throne room. Suddenly out of the shadows as the group passed by a passage way that led down a hallway a fast moving object jumped out and attacked them. Sailor Kakyuu, Mouryoumaru and Kanna were gravely wounded with slash marks on their arms as blood was dripping down from their wounds by the surprise attack while their attacker retreated back into the shadows.

"Who the heck was that!" Kagome said as she backed behind Inuyasha with an arrow ready while Sesshomaru drew Toukijin and Sailor Moon was ready with Tetsusaiga.

"Who's there!" Usagi shouted as she saw a pair of glowing red demonic eyes.

"Show yourself damn it!" Inuyasha demanded as he cracked his knuckles.

"I thought you'll never ask." A voice replied as the attacker stepped into light revealing himself to the group.

"Holy shit!" Kagome shouted as her voice was filled with terror as she along with everyone were shocked to see who their attacker was.

"Hello everyone." The attacker said as it cracked its own knuckles and its dog ears twitched a little. Their attacker was a clone of Inuyasha, but it wasn't just any clone it was a clone of Inuyasha in his demon form.

"It's a clone, but how did that thing." Kagome was saying while she was pointing an arrow at it.

"Marik used a hair from my weaker half and used that to give me life. Now I will rip all of you to pieces and prove that I was always stronger." Demonic Inuyasha said as he rushed towards the group with his claws raised bent on attacking the group. Sesshomaru and Sailor Moon used a powerful wave of energy unleashed from both of their swords to hit Inuyasha's demonic counter-part. The blast hit the demon head on, but it covered half of the hallway in a cloud of smoke.

"Did we get him?" Sailor Moon asked everyone.

"There is no possible way a demon like that could have survived our attack." Sesshomaru commented.

"Think again!" Demonic Inuyasha shouted as he ran through the smoke and he punched Sesshomaru and Sailor Moon in the face with his fist. To everyone's surprise the clone was unharmed despite that it was hit by a very powerful attack. There wasn't even a scratch on its body.

"Shit!" Kohaku shouted as the demon clawed his chest as he passed him.

"Get back!" Kagome commanded as she shot the demon in the chest with an arrow, but to her surprise the arrow had no effect on Inuyasha's demonic counter-part.

"Come here you!" Inuyasha said as he ran towards his evil clone to fight him, but the demon jumped up and it kicked Inuyasha in the chest with both feet sending Inuyasha into a wall leaving an imprint of his body on it.

The demon looked down at its other counter-part and said "Don't worry. I don't plan on hurting you yet. I am saving you for last. Once I am done with everyone else you're next." The demon said with a twisted smile of blood-filled insanity. The demon was going to kill everyone if he wasn't stopped.

Meanwhile watching the battle from the safety of his lab Marik was watching the clone fight Inuyasha and the others. He had a thin smile on his face as he thought "Inuyasha…you and your friends should find out by now that clone is not your average clone. Head on attacks won't defeat him. If you can figure out my clone's secret then you may survive this battle."

A/N: ha…I am ending it here to leave you guys in suspense as to who will win. After they defeat Demon Inuyasha (well if they beat him) they will finally reach Naraku, but what kind of surprise will he have waiting for them. Sorry this took me a while, but I got too caught up with other matters I had to tend to, but as they say its better late than never.
