Disclaimers Notice: I don't own Inuyasha & Co. or any fish

Authors Beginning Note: Ok, so here we are again, right before you actually read my story, and I was wondering, does anyone really read author notes? I talked to a few friends of mine and they say they don't, so do I put more effort into author notes than I should.hmm, oh well, it gives me something to do.

Chapter 11

The Beginning.of the End?

The Inu gang was just stopping for a rest. Still on the borders of the moor, with the forest to their sides. The day was very warm and sticky. Everyone had been silent the past few days. Hardly a mention of Kagome or of the reasons she had left was mentioned. They had only fought one other demon, and that one was one of the weaker demons. Naraku also hadn't shown his face as of late, which made everyone slightly tense.

Sango leaned against a tree, sweating heavily. She had taken to just wearing her fighters uniform, since it was so hot, but it did not help as much as she had hoped. Miroku was in very much the same state, he stood, looking out onto the lifeless still moor, leaning on his Shinkujo that he carried every where. Shippo laid on his back in the grass, looking into the sky, and Kirara sat next to Sango. Inuyasha sat lazily in a tree lost in his own thoughts.

Miroku and Sango looked out onto the moor, a breeze started to blow. Kirara snapped to attention. Inuyasha's eyes became slits.

"Naraku." He said venomously. He jumped down. Sango grabbed her Hiraikotsu from the strap on her back. Miroku stood, ready for what was to come. Shippo jumped up and stood by Sango. Kirara transformed into her full Yukai form. Now instead of a cute ball of fur, there was a huge demon, looking almost like an overgrown wolf, with a big tuff of fur around her neck like a lion. Her tails flicked in annoyance. Her teeth bared. Now the bright and sunny day turned dark. The once still and silent grass now whispered of the danger coming. Thunder roared overhead.

"How pleasant of you all to make such a welcoming for Me." Came a voice that seemed to come from the very sky itself.

"Why don't you come out and fight me, Naraku?" yelled Inuyasha. He unleashed Tetsusaiga, a seemingly rusted and chipped sword. With a flick of his wrist, it turned into a huge blade that gleamed. Kirara growled. Lightning flashed and illuminated the Inu groups dark and determined faces.

"I have a present for you. I call her Audra, controller of lightning. I think you'll find her quite shocking." Naraku's evil laughter pierced through the thick air. A streak of lightning came and struck the ground and caused an explosion of electricity and dirt.

Sango used her Hiraikotsu as a temporary shield. Miroku pushed Shippo behind him as he crouched to the ground. Inuyasha bent his knees, ready to jump at any moment he saw necessary. He used the big sleeve of his haori to guard his face from any possible flying rocks.

When the dust cleared, where the lightning had just struck stood a woman who looked to be 16. She had blond hair. Her skin was pale. She wore black leather pants and a black tank top. She was tall, about 5'7" and had a supermodel figure. Her facial complexion was flawless. She had three orange jagged lines on each side of her face, signifying that she was a full Yukai. She looked almost exactly human, except for her eyes. Her eyes seemed to poses lightning and flashed in them, much like the lightning Naraku claimed she could wield.

"Inuyasha! Look at her eyes!" whispered Shippo, obviously scared.

"Yah, I know damn well what her eyes look like, I can see." Inuyasha said giving Shippo a scathing help, witch did not lessen Shippo's fear any.

"I'd be careful if I were you Inuyasha. She's very powerful, maybe even more powerful than all of us put together." Miroku warned, not even looking at his companion.

"Feh." Inuyasha scoffed.

"Inuyasha. Hand over those jewel shards you poses." Came Audra's thundering voice.

"Feh, what makes you think I would do something like that?"

"Because that's your only choice, unless you want to live." She said emotionless.

"You don't scare me. I'm not scared."

"Maybe you should be. Now hand over the jewels."

"Over my dead body!" yelled Inuyasha and ran to attack. Soon the two were involved in an all out battle. Audra fended off Inuyasha's sword blows easily, with a sword of her own constructed strictly of lightning. Were it not for Inuyasha's sword hilt, he would have surely been burnt badly when their swords met. They separated and circled around each other.

"Hijin Ketsurou!" roared Inuyasha. His claws became bloody and in a single motion, sickle blades shot out and raced toward Audra. Audra smiled. Lightning struck from the air and formed a domed shield around her. The shield dissappataited, leaving her unscathed.

"Lightning Shocker." She said and produced a ball of lightning and shot it at Inuyasha. Inuyasha was thrown to the ground. His red haori was scorched, and he ended up with many burns himself. Shippo, against Miroku and Sango's protests, went to Inuyasha and jumped onto the unconscious Hanyou's chest.

"Move Kitsune, or die with him too." Said Audra, standing but a few feet from Inuyasha.

"Fox fire!" Shippo screamed courageously. A swirling blue fire was thrown in Audra's direction but she easily hit it aside with a swat of her hand.

"Hiraikotsu!" came a loud yell from behind Audra, signifying that Sango was joining the battle too. Quickly glancing behind her, Audra saw the Hiraikotsu coming straight for her. She jumped into the air completely avoiding it and then made a graceful landing. Without even turning, she flicked her wrist and lightning struck the Hiraikotsu, damaging it to a point that would take more than a fall day's afternoon to repair. The Hiraikotsu couldn't hit Audra from behind on its return path. A smirk appeared on Audra's face when she saw the look of anger and annoyance cross Sango's face.

"Fox fire!" Came a shout from her back.

"Oh!" she gasped as she took a step forward to gain her balance. She turned around, a look of annoyance and displeasure crossed her face.

"I'll have pity on you." She said darkly and kicked Shippo all the way to the forest's edge. He skidded across the ground and didn't stop until he hit the trunk of a tree. Leaving skid marks all the way there.

Sango leapt onto Kirara's back.

"Kirara! Straight at her!" Sango drew out the sword at her side. Audra began throwing balls of lightning at them, but Kirara easily dodged them. Pure annoyance crossed Audra's face. When Sango was only a few feet from Audra, she tried to thrust her sword into Audra's stomach, but Audra shot into the air. Hanging suspended, she supported her right hand with her left and pointed it at Kirara and Sango.

"Lightning Bomber." She whispered. When she was sure her aim was perfect.

Meanwhile as Shippo stared at what was happening, he clutched the item he held into his hand and ran.

Authors Ending Note: Is Sango and Kirara Alive? How will Miroku ever handle this Yukai all by himself now that his companions can't help? And where is Shippo running off to? And what is in his hand? See, I told you it would be a good chapter, wait until you read the next one! Sorry this one is short, but I wanted some added suspense, that and if chapters are too long, they get boring.
