Chapter 7: Betrayal

Link woke to voices. What he could tell was a girl and a boy and they were arguing over something. They were too fuzzy to make out what was being said. So, slowly, Link opened his eyes. He was laying on his back, looking up to the forest's treetops. He tried to sit up, but quickly fell back down at the pain in his side. "Link!" gasped a voice from somewhere beyond his left. It was a voice he recognized fast.

"Tetra?" He groaned as he tried to rise again. But this time, he was stopped by a hand that forced him back down.

"Don't try and get up yet." A gentle female voice told him. He knew this was the same girl arguing earlier. Again, Link laid back down. A girl with long black hair was the one talking. "I'm Kagome" she said. "And this is…Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Kirara, and Inu-Yasha." Link was a little more interested in where Tetra was, though. That question was answered when she smacked him in the head.

"We were suppose to stay together, you idiot!"

"Well, sorry! I tried my best!" Everyone sweat dropped, except Inu-Yasha.

'Great, just what we need, another couple like Inu-Yasha and Kagome…' Sango thought.

"Now that he's awake, can we go now?" Inu-Yasha yelled.

"We can't go; he's too hurt to be walking yet!" Kagome yelled. "Unless, you want to carry him…"

"No way! Kid, you weigh a ton, you know that?" Again, everyone sweat dropped.

"Probably the iron boots."

"The what?"

"The Iron boots. They help me walk in gale force winds."

"Hey, Link, you still have that red chuchu potion, right?" Tetra asked.

"Yeah…oh! Yeah, I do!" He said as he, again raised himself to sitting position and rummaged through his pockets. He pulled out a bottle full of a red liquid, and drank it.

"There, now we can go." Tetra exclaimed as Link jumped up and it was then he realized he wasn't wearing a shirt, but bandages all around his waist. With a blush, Tetra handed him his shirt back, as he removed the bandages. The Inu-group gasped. There was no wound on his side! And after he put his shirt back on, he removed the bandages on his arm. Again, everyone (except Tetra and Link) was shocked to find there was no wound there.

"What did you drink?" Sango finally asked.

"Red chuchu potion. Heals wounds." A universal nod was his answer. And with that, the group began their journey to Kaede's village, while explaining who Naraku was on the way.

"I see you were unable to beat Inu-Yasha." Naraku taunted.

"Yes, well, I would have beat him if it wasn't for your wench losing the boy." Was the monotone reply of Ganon's.

"Well, if it wasn't for you screwing up the defeat of Inu-Yasha, I would've been able to capture those brats!" Kagura yelled at the chubby man sitting across from Naraku.

"Kagura, enough." Demanded her 'father', she just turned and left. "Well then, Ganon, shall we continue with our deal?"

"And how do you purpose we do that? The boy knows how to destroy all my monsters and so I can't destroy Inu-Yasha while his still there. But you can't seem to be able to captor the brats without me defeating Inu-Yasha first. So it seems to me that we are at a stand-still."

"Does this mean that the deal's off?"

"…yes."

"Then I'll go to phase two." Naraku said as tentacles shot out from under his cloak/baboon skin thing, and wrapped themselves tightly around Ganon.

Ganon was caught by surprise and was unable to save himself as he was absorbed by Naraku. Laughing to himself, Naraku felt an immense wave of power flow through his veins. Now he was immortal.

"As soon as I absorb the two brats and collect all the jewel shards, I'll be a god!" And, with that, he disappeared in a cloud of purple smoke.

Link, Tetra, and Inu-Yasha stopped dead in their tracks. Turning towards the fading sun, a look of fear crossed each of their faces.

"What's wrong, Inu-Yasha?" Kagome asked quietly. 'I've never seen him like this.' She thought.

"A-a huge power surge. I can't tell what it was, but I've never felt anything like it. It's demonic and something else."

"Ganon" Link whispered. "The monster you called Naraku just absorbed Ganon's power."

"What? How do you know this?" Miroku gasped.

"Because Link has part of the triforce." Tetra spoke up.

"The what?" Kagome asked. She could tell she wasn't the only one confused about what it was.

"The triforce, three pieces that represent a different aspect of power. Tetra has the Triforce of Wisdom, I have the Triforce of Courage, and Ganon has…had the Triforce of Strength. Each piece is very powerful on it's own, but collect all three and the gods' have no choice but to come down and bestow their power onto the collector."

A silence fell over the group as everyone absorbed what the boy just said. This wasn't good. Naraku had already collected most of the jewel, and now they believed that he had this powerful triforce, too. He would definitely come after them, they have most of the remaining jewel fragments, and the remaining triforce shards.

"He's coming" Inu-Yasha growled as he and Link unsheathed their swords. "Kagome, you and Shippo get out of here!"

"Link, hand my your bow and light arrows!" Tetra demanded.

"No"

"What? Come on!"

"I'm supposed to protect you and I can't protect you when we battle this guy. You go with Kagome and Shippo."

"You know, you make it sound like she's a princess or something, you know that?" Sango commented. Link and Tetra looked at each other nervously.

"She's not…right?" Shippo asked. But before anyone could answer the little kitsune, they were interrupted by a cold and sinister voice.

"Well, well, well. So here you are."
