Chapter 3: Dark Vs. Dark
Inuyasha and the group continued on, still wondering what the black creatures were. Up ahead, they saw an old man wounded on the road. They ran to him, and saw he was about to die. Blood trickled down his head.
"It looks like this man was attacked." Inuyasha said. The man coughed.
"Please, you must stop the people who wish to seal the keyhole." He said slowly.
"Keyhole, what keyhole?" Muroku asked.
"The keyhole, to this world. If it is sealed, this world will be consumed by darkness." The man pointed to a black mountain in the distance.
"Go there, they headed that way." The man said, and with one last breath, he passed away.
"What was he talking about?" Kagome asked.
"That old man was just crazy." Inuyasha said
"Maybe not. Think about it Inuyasha. This may explain why those black creatures are here." Muroku said.
"It wouldn't hurt to check it out." Sango said.
"Fine, let's go." Inuyasha said, and the group headed tword the mountain
As night fell, Sora and Riku folled in the direction of the darkness. The full moon glowed above.
"Riku, are we almost there?" Sora asked.
"Yes, we are very close now." Riku answered. Up ahead, they could see someone walking twords them. It was Sesshomaru. He stopped in front of Sora and Riku, and looked at Sora's keyblade.
"That wepon contains great power. It would be in your best interest to give it to me." Sesshomaru said, putting his hand onhis sword Tokagen.
"No way!" Sora said, readying to attack. He was about to lunge forward when Riku stopped him.
" Let me take care of him." Riku said. Black energy swirled around him, and his Dark Armor appeared. Also, Riku's sword Soul Eater appeared in his hand.
"Let's go." Riku said. He charged and slashed. Sesshomaru parried and struck back. Riku easily dodged. Sesshomaru jumped back and swung his sword once. A wave of blue energy shot out tword Riku.
"Dark Firaga!" Riku swung the Soul Eater, and a purple blast of fire hit the energy, causing an explosion. Then, through the smoke, Sesshomaru charged and slashed at Riku with his claws. Riku was hit in the chest, and backed up. Riku held his sword up.
"Time for me to finish this. Welcome Oblivion!" Riku hovered in the air, flowing with darkness. He then rushed forward, sword extended. He teleported and reappeared, continuously slashing Sesshomaru. When he stopped, a wave of black lightning struck, and Riku lowered to the ground. Sesshomaru seemed uncaring of his wounds.
"Very good. It seems you are worthy opponents. You may pass." Sesshomaru said. He continued walking, leaving them alone.
"Who was he?" Sora asked.
"I don't know. Let's just keep going." Riku said. They continued on, and about an hour later, they were at the black mountain. Sora and Riku looked at the top and nodded.
"Let's go!" Sora said.
