Chapter 8-Change of Plans: Confrontation
"What...what are you...doing to...to me?" said Sesshomorru has he found himself on both his knees getting weaker with every second of breath he took. He tried to release his grip on Tokijin, but his hand felt like it was stuck to the handle of it.
"Let me explain it to you then...brother. You see the poison running through your body is no ordinary poison that has entered your body. This poison is created by the energy in my body that was released when I grabbed Tokijin when you swung it down on me. Now I am commanding the poison in your body and what it is doing to your body inside you. But don't worry my brother the poison won't kill you...unless I want it to. The poison right now in your body is just paralyzing it. It will soon finish with your legs and then it will spread upward and work on your arm allowing me to not only take Rin, but also take Tokijin away from you as well," said Inuyasha as Sesshomorru's face contorted in pain as the poison spread to his only good arm.
"You don't...have the strength...or power...to...to wield Tokijin," said Sesshomorru who tried to fight the poison only to find that poison fought back.
"You're mistaken; I'm not going to wield Tokijin...yet Sesshomorru. It is merely a gift to my master," said Inuyasha as Sesshomorru's grip on the sword weakened and ended up in Inuyashas possession and put it away in his waist as Sesshomorru always did.
Inuyasha then turned his attention to Rin and Jaken who looked extremely terrified as Inuyasha started walking towards them. "Stay back fowl beast or I will show you the power of the Staff of Two Heads," said Jaken who readied his staff at Inuyasha who just continued his walking pace.
"Heheheheh. Just try toad and will see how long you live afterwards. The poison in Sesshomorru's body will paralyze him long after I'm gone and if I kill you it will be too late to bring you back to life with Tenseiga. So you have to ask yourself...should I risk my life over a little human girl," said Inuyasha with a small smile on his face.
"I will defend Rin with my life in the name of my Lord Sesshomorru," said Jaken as his Staff of Two Heads activated sending a vast stream of fire at Inuyasha.
Inuyasha dodged it with ease and knocked Jaken out in a single shot with a solid fist to the top of the toads head and grabbed Rin with his left hand. "How honorable of you Jaken, but foolish all the same. However, since I need the girl alive I see no point in killing you and to be honest I consider it a waste of my power," said Inuyasha who then turned his attention to a squirming Rin.
"Let me go. Help Ah-Un!" cried Rin as the two headed dragon responded to her voice.
Unfortunately, a swift kick by Inuyasha (who didn't even move) to the two headed dragons chest area below their necks sent Ah-Un flying into some trees knocking him out cold. Inuyasha then looked at a terrifying Rin who stopped squirming, but still cried as she stared into the eyes of her captor. "Now my dear we must go see my master. He has big plans for you, but first!" said Inuyasha who placed right hand on her forehead and sent a small amount of energy into it causing her to fall into a gentle sleep.
"R...i...n," said Sesshomorru as he tried to speak despite the paralyzing effects of Inuyashas poison.
"Don't worry Sesshomorru. She's just asleep. My master wants her alive for his own reasons. Besides...I can't have her see where were going now I can I," said Inuyasha as he tucked her away in his shirt to conceal her from site.
"I'm...going...to...kill...you...Inuyasha," said Sesshomorru has he struggled to get of the ground, but found his body less then responsive to his wishes.
"Maybe another day Sesshomorru, but until then keep your voice down. You don't want to awaken Rin do you?" said Inuyasha as he brushed away some of Rin's hair with a smile and then ran through the woods before Sesshomorru could say anything else.
Inuyasha got farther away from Sesshomorru with each running step he took and found himself near a high waterfall. "Stop Inuyasha!" said a voice from behind the half-demon as three arrows came at him from behind.
The arrow itself missed Inuyasha, but hit the tree next to him as warning shots for him not to move. Inuyasha turned to face his attacker and knew it was. "Why if it isn't Kikyo, Kagome, and Kaede who have come to see me. What no hug?" said Inuyasha with a wicked smile as the others came out of the shadows with an angry look on their face.
"What you did to Koga and now Sesshomorru is unforgivable Inuyasha. You must be stopped now more then ever," said Miroku as he readied his Wind Tunnel to be used.
"Do you really want to use that Wind Tunnel monk? Especially since there is an innocent child in my care," said Inuyasha who revealed Rin sleeping in the right side of his shirt.
When Miroku saw this he put his Wind Tunnel away from being used and caused everyone else to be more reluctant in considering a direct attack on Inuyasha. "Good. Now if you'll excuse me I have to go see my master and if any of you follow then the child has seen her last sun rise," said Inuyasha with a smile.
As he was about to go Narakus insects appeared behind him. My apprentice stop!" said Narakus voice inside Inuyashas mind.
"What's wrong my master?" Inuyasha said in his mind.
"Give the child to the insects while you stay and fight," said Naraku voice.
"Why master?" Inuyasha said in his mind to his master.
"It's not important now do as I command. NOW!" said Narakus voice.
"Yes master. I hear you and obey," said Inuyashas mind as he took Rin out of his shirt and threw her to the insects that caught and carried her away.
Kagome and the others were completely baffled by Inuyashas actions. On moment he was about to take off with Rin and the next he gave her to Narakus insects to take away. "What gives Inuyasha?" said Kagome as she readied an arrow and prepared to attack.
"Don't worry my dear. My master just wants me to...test my abilities against of you in a fight and see where I stand in power against you all," said Inuyasha as the spider amulet appeared on his forehead and his clothing was now a purple-red color.
"Whoa! Inuyasha just did some sort of transformation. His power just went up several times what it once was," said a scared Shippo who found himself involuntary walking backwards.
"Then will just have to try harder in killing him," said Sango who got on Kilala and both of them took to the air.
Inuyasha just stood near the edge of the waterfall as he saw his enemies ready themselves to attack him. "That's it. Attack me with everything you've got! It will only make me stronger," said Inuyasha with a wicked smile on his face as he extended his claws and drew Tetsuigia for combat.
"I intend to you bastard," said Sango as she threw the giant boomerang with everything she had at Inuyasha who caught the weapon with his left hand and didn't even move from the impact of the weapon.
"You stupid humans and your silly toys (looking at the boomerang). When will you learn that true power comes from within yourself and not the weapon you wield!" said Inuyasha who threw the boomerang back with ease to a surprised Sango who caught it.
"Take this Inuyasha!" said Kaede as she along with Kagome and Kikyo fired arrows at Inuyasha who just stood their waiting to receive the attack.
"Fools! You cannot stop me. I am far beyond all of you. Just as my master is far beyond me," said Inuyasha who caught Kaede's arrow with his hand and knocked the other two away with Tetsuigia.
Everyone was in shock at what he just did. "He's more powerful then anything I have ever seen," said Kaede who was too stunned to ready another arrow as she saw Inuyasha starting to change.
Inuyasha muscles started expanding noticeably and he became taller as more and more power coursed through his body as the rims of his eyes had a hint of red around them. "Now that you've all had your fun in trying to hurt me. I think it's my turn for me...to hurt all of you," said Inuyasha.
