Chapter 16-Family Truth an Eye for an Eye

Inuyasha left the room filled with sleeping people as he walked to his master's chambers to deliver a gift to him. He entered Narakus room and kneeled before him the instant Naraku came into sight. "Rise Lord Inuyasha," commanded Naraku as Inuyasha obeyed and then walked towards his master till they were several feet away.

"The gift I promised you master," said Inuyasha who removed Tokijin from his waist and presented it to Naraku who took it from him.

"Ah yes. The mighty blade Tokijin. Forged from Goshinki's teeth after YOU ironically killed him by your older brother Sesshomorru. And now…it's with me…where it belongs. Thank you Inuyasha you have done more then ever hoped you would," said Naraku with a smile on his face.

"Thank you master I had hoped you would be pleased with all I have done," said Inuyasha who then showed Naraku Kagura's bodiless head and put it down in between them.

"I am, but now is not the time to celebrate our victory just yet my dear boy. Only when your former friends are dead can we truly celebrate our victory," said Naraku who put the blade away.

"Yes master. Till then I will go to my chambers and meditate to increase and focus my power," said Inuyasha who bowed to his master and left the room.

"Good. Because when the time comes for you to kill them Inuyasha you will need all the power you have...to do it," said Naraku out loud to himself.

Inuyasha walked down the corridor passed the prisoners room and proceeded to his own, but was stopped by a little boy wearing a demon slaying outfit that he recognized all too well. "What is it Kohaku? Why are you dressed for battle?" said Inuyasha.

"No reason my Lord I'm just following the masters orders. He instructed me to wait in the shadows of the prisoners room should something happens in that room," said the glazed over eyes telling Inuyasha the boy was not in control of his body.

"The only thing that's going to happen Kohaku is everyone in that room that is an enemy of me and our master will be dying...painfully at my hands for their transgressions towards us!" said Inuyasha who knocked the boy against the wall as he continued to his chambers.

Kohaku glared at Inuyasha as he walked away, but said nothing back to the now gone half-demon as he himself entered the prisoner's room quietly and stayed hidden in the shadows away from everyone's line of sight.

(The Next Day)

One by one Kagome and the others woke up from their involuntary naps with some sore muscles all over their body. Rin and Kagomes bodies however, were probably the only two that weren't hurt yesterday by Inuyasha considering that they didn't fight him like the others did. "My body. It feels like it was hit by a heavy demon," said Miroku who got a hissing sound from Kilala next to her as a sign she felt offended by such a remark because to her it indicated that Miroku (who was now trying to apologize) thought she was fat.

Shippo probably would have said the same thing, but decided not too considering both he and Miroku got hit by the same weight. "Where are we?" said Shippo who could only remember being hit by Kilala's body.

"Were in Narakus castle," said Kagome in a sad voice. She never thought they would be in the belly of the beast retrained, weaponless, and the only person who could save them now was a half-demon she cared about that was under the beasts command.

"Were where?" said Koga in disbelief who could barley move his body from a combination of it being restrained and it being so sore from his battle from Inuyasha.

"Kagome shouldn't have to repeat herself Koga. If you can't understand what has happened to us then you might as well have died on the battlefield where we fought Inuyasha last," said a calm Sesshomorru whose eyes were closed, but still focused.

"Master Sesshomorru you are awake I knew you would be all right," said Rin who tried to hug her Lord the best she could despite the restraints.

"We need to get free before Naraku or Inuyasha realize were awake and decide to finish us off," said Sango as she tried to break the restraints only to find that they could not be broken.

"Who? Me? You're too late I already know," said a voice from the shadows of a now open door way in front of them. It was Naraku along with Kanna by his side, but strangely Inuyasha was not with them.

"Where's Inuyasha? Why isn't he with you? Did you decide he was too much a threat and kill him?" said Kagome.

"Kill him! Why would I want to kill...my apprentice and my...surrogate son? He has been the son I always wanted. He's loyal, obedient, trustworthy, and will kill for me now without hesitation. He makes me proud to be the father he always wanted," said Naraku whose red eyes turned to Kagomes innocent ones.

"You're no father! You're a monster!" said Sesshomorru who felt offended by Narakus words.

"Oh! Tell me Sesshomorru when was the last time you cared about your brother? If you don't knowthe answer I will tell you. Never! Never have you once cared about someone who has half the blood of your family because you know as well as I do that he has twice power you do," said Naraku who now walked up to the Lord of the Western Lands.

"What are you talking about? Twice the power I do? He's a half-demon! Nothing more and everything that is less in demon society," said Sesshomorru who was now furious.

"You're lying Sesshomorru. Tell me why is it that you would want Inuyasha dead? He's part of your family. He has your father's blood running through his body...just like you! However, you claim that he is inferior to you and all demons because he's only a half-demon. However, I think there is another reason that you have tried to kill him in the past, but you won't say because it something deep down you have feared the moment Inuyasha...was born!" said Naraku who had to moved back a little to avoid Sesshomorru's attempts at biting Narakus face off.

"What reason?" said Kagome said now finding this curious.

"The very moment Inuyasha was born Sesshomorru feared the power and potential that Inuyasha had deep inside him. A potential...that I have unleashed and taught Inuyasha to control. A power...you have all fought and lost to," said Naraku who had shocked everyone in that room, except Kohaku who was watching and listening from the shadows.

"LIES! Inuyasha is nothing more then a weak half-demon that should never had had been born! HE WAS A MISTAKE!" said Sesshomorru who hated hearing the truth.

"Then why don't you tell that to his face...right before he strikes YOU and the rest of you down for all the pain you've caused him," said Naraku who snapped his fingers and Inuyasha appeared from the shadowy door way.

He was not pleased with what he heard from Sesshomorru who was now staring at him with angry eyes. "FILTHY DOG!" said Inuyasha who ran up to Sesshomorru and kneed him in the face sending as far as the restraints would allow till they stopped him and the whiplash came sending Sesshomorru face first into the ground.

"STOP IT!" cried Rin in horror as she saw her Lord and master suffer as Inuyasha continued to kick Sesshomorru in the ribs till he heard them break. However, Inuyasha didn't stop with just a knee to the face and kicks to now broken ribs. He picked up Sesshomorru by the neck and could see he had blood coming from his mouth as Inuyasha raised him to face level and at that moment the two stared at each other face to face. It was then that Sesshomorru realized that his own fear of his brother's power would be his undoing. Until Inuyasha took his free hand...and proceeded to and successfully removed Sesshomorru's...left eye.

Rin screamed as she closed her eyes while the others looked on in horror as Sesshomorru himself howled in pain as he could no longer see out of the left side of his face as blood came flowing out of it down the left side of his face. "He took my eye!" said Sesshomorru as he tried to cover his eyeless socket with his one free hand.

"You've taken away everything that is mine Sesshomorru. I'm just returning the favor...brother," said Inuyasha as he squeezed the eye till it was liquid in his hands.

(A/N: I am so evil when it comes to these things. I know I said wait till Thursday, but I couldn't help myself. That andI also got a few reviews form people who (for a lack of a better word) BEGGED me to update soon and I can't deny my reviewers such a plea for more. Hell I've done myself. Anyway tomorrow at some point in time I'll put another chapter if not chapters up, but I'll save the last one for later. Paitence, Peace, and Review!)
