Chapter 2-A painful truth and the painful past revealed
A day or two had passed since Inuyasha had put the spider amulet Naraku created on his forehead. Since then Inuyasha noticed his speed, agility, strength, and all of him that was demon felt more...alive. He felt more power coursing through his body then he could have ever hoped for and it felt pretty good...even if he was Narakus apprentice. However, he felt...incomplete in some way as if he needed something else to give him that extra bit of motivation to keep being what he now was. He focused his mind on what that incomplete feeling was and when he came to it he knew what it was. He immediately left his private chambers that Naraku had brought him to after the implantation of the spider amulet on his forehead. He walked along the corridors and pathways that was Narakus castle till he came to the entrance to Narakus room. Without hesitating he opened it and entered and passed the beads to see Naraku sitting on the ground next to an open door as a calm breeze came in that bright sunny day. "We need to talk master," said Inuyasha in a serious sounding voice.
"I suspected you would. What is it you want to talk to me about exactly?" said Naraku who now turned his head to see his new apprentice face to face.
"You said to me that Kanna saved the events of what happened to me in her mirror. I want to see those events for myself," said Inuyasha as Naraku was sipping his drink.
"Naraku however, paused in mid-drink and stared at Inuyasha for a moment only to continue to finish his drink in a calm like manner. "I see. You don't trust me my apprentice? Or is this for your own...personal reasons my apprentice?" said Naraku who put his cup down and then stared at Inuyasha with his glaring eyes searching for the truth.
"It's not that don't trust you. I never did. However, that can change all in one moment IF you let me see what Kanna saved in her mirror that proves what you told me before was not a lie. Unless...it is," said Inuyasha whose hands started to crack as his claws extended.
Naraku however, stayed calm as Inuyasha was becoming more and more upset. "It more then reasonable I suppose, but...I am a bit reluctant to you what Kanna has in her mirror. You may not like what you see Inuyasha. However, if it will prove what I told you is indeed true then I have no problem letting Kanna show you it," said Naraku who snapped his fingers and just like that Kanna appeared to his left (Inuyashas right) holding her mirror as always.
"You called master," said Kanna as she was now at Narakus side and facing Inuyasha.
"Yes Kanna I did. My apprentice and soon to be your new master wants to see the events that led him to me. Show the events and what happened to him on the day you found him Kanna that are stored in your mirror," said Naraku as he poured some wine into his cup.
Kanna nodded and walked up to Inuyasha who had to kneel on one leg to be considered close to Kanna's height. "You may not like what you see," said Kanna as her mirror began to glow with a bright light.
"After what I went through it doesn't matter anymore what I don't like," said Inuyasha as the mirror changed from a white light to scenery filled with trees, grass, and a small cliff area near them.
It was then that he saw himself...being attacked by a giant boomerang that was all too familiar. "No!" said Inuyasha as he saw the events unfold before him.
(A/N: From here on out till I say so this will be what is in Kanna's mirror. Just so you know.)
Inuyasha dodged the boomerang with ease only to use Tetsuigia that was in his hands to block an attack from his left that was the staff used by Miroku. He had to kick the monk in the gut just so he could give himself some breathing space. "Why are you doing this?" said Inuyasha as a presence came up from behind him. It was Sesshomorru who had Tokijin in his hands.
"Because you do not belong here...little brother," said Sesshomorru who he pierced through Inuyasha as Inuyasha turned to attack him with the Tetsuigia. The sword went through Inuyashas lower rib and then went out his front as Sesshomorru swung it out to his right.
Inuyasha found himself reeling back from the wounds inflicted upon him by the attack by Tokijin. He found himself grabbing a tree for support with barely any strength to hold Tetsuigia to defend himself. "This doesn't...make sense. Why...are you...doing this to...me? You are supposed...to be...my friends and...fam...family," said Inuyasha as blood came out of his mouth as well as his side and stomach area.
He tried to run through the trees near the cliff area, but just then three arrows came flying at him and struck him from behind. He knew who those attacks had come from. He turned to see Kikyo, Kagome, and Kaede were all standing their almost in a row, with their bows and were reloading them with arrows for another attack. "You must die Inuyasha. For the good of us all," said Kagome who fired another arrow at Inuyasha only to miss and hit the tree he was the closest too.
"I...never would...have expected...you of all...people to...hurt me...Kagome," said Inuyasha as he struggled to get away only to be blinded by Shippo who came out of nowhere and hit Inuyasha in the eyes with his fox fire magic.
Inuyasha screamed in pain as he stumbled through the trees near the cliff area where passed that and straight down was and loooooong fall passed jagged rock spots into thick trees below. Inuyasha found himself stumbling over near the cliffs as he planted his Tetsuigia into the ground for support in standing. At this point his vision was blurry and seeing double if not triple of everything and everyone around him. Kilala who had the ability to fly landed in front of Inuyasha several feet away from Inuyasha with Sango who jumped off Kilala with an angry look on her face as did Kilala. "You must die," said Sango who raised her giant boomerang ready to strike.
"Why? What have...I done to...deserve this...execution," said Inuyasha as more blood came out of his mouth.
"If you don't know Inuyasha then you don't have the right to live," said Sango as she threw the boomerang at Inuyasha who summoned all his strength with his Tetsuigia to block the attack.
But, in doing so he caused cracks in the edge of the cliff that almost immediately gave way causing him to fall into the shadows of the cliffs bottom. On the way down he hit areas of jagged rocks that cracked his ribs and broke his bone in different parts of his legs and arms. He finally landed into the trees breaking some of the branches along with more of his bones as he then landed on solid ground. His Tetsuigia was still in his hand by some miracle, but barely as he had only a single unbroken finger was wrapped around it. He couldn't speak for the pain was too great as he could feel the blood in his body either leave him or fill up in his lungs. "Is this my destiny? To be betrayed by those I trusted my life with? What did I do that was so wrong?" thought Inuyasha as he could feel himself getting tired as he started to close his eyes.
Right before he lost consciousness completely he thought he had heard footsteps and a strange buzzing along with it. However, in his condition he couldn't tell if the buzzing or the footsteps were real or just an illusion brought on by death as to make fun of his predicament. Finally he blacked out and lost consciousness. At that moment a little silver colored doll eyed faced girl appeared holding a mirror and was followed by a small swarm of insects. "Master Naraku will be pleased by this," said the female voice as she commanded the insects to carefully pick up he broken body.
(A/N: Fade back to Inuyasha watching what just happened in the mirror)
"Now do you see why they are now your enemies? Now do you believe what I tell you is now true?" said Naraku who was watching Inuyashas face as he now sat their on both of his knees in shock. Naraku knew that deep down Inuyasha was still loyal to his friends even after Naraku had saved him from death, but now that loyalty was dead. The spider amulet on his head told him that much as it told Naraku what Inuyashas emotions were inside his mind and heart.
"Yes. I believe you now. I will continue to follow you and trust you from here on out as my master. My life...is now yours to command," said Inuyasha as his voice became so dark and angry that Kanna started to back away a little without Narakus permission for fear of being hit at random.
"Good. Now...you truly are my apprentice. From here on out that is your name till you are worthy of your old one. From here on out you will address me as master until you are ready to call me Naraku. Only then will I consider you to be my equal. You will call me nothing else, but master. Do you understand?" said Naraku as he now standing up and approaching Inuyasha who was still on both knees.
"Yes...master," said Inuyasha as Naraku put his hand on his head.
"Then rise apprentice. Rise! Serve your master now," said Naraku as Inuyasha slowly rose from the ground to his feet.
"How may I serve you...my master?" said Inuyasha whose eyes had a dark red glow in them surrounding the amber in his eyes.
"We must make your friends aware of your existence by making an old former friend of your and theirs the messenger for such a thing," said Naraku who had an evil smile on his face.
"Who did mind master?" said Inuyasha curiously.
"The one person who was not their, but was a pain in your side since you met him. I want you hurt, but not kill Koga of the Wolf demon tribe. I want you make him feel your pain that they delivered onto you and then deliver him into their hands with a simple two worded message written in his flesh for them all to see...and read," said Naraku was his smile grew as did Inuyashas as master and apprentice were now closer then ever to their revenge on those who had wronged them.
(A/N: I know the story is a little cheesy, but I try. I need reviews so I can improve it. If there are suggestions then please review and state them I would really appreciate that.)
