(A/N: Warning: This chapter may contain some extremely violent content and graphically description of people dying painfully. Viewer discretion is advised. Enjoy!)
The transformation was not a pleasant thing as the demon side started to take over from his head on down. He found himself screaming in pain as the transformation spread from his head to the rest of his body. His eyes turned blood red, his ears became more like his brothers, his teeth became more animal, his muscles all over his body expanded what seemed to him as twice as what they once were before. "Yeeessssss. I feel alive again. Almost...reborn into this world. And it feels...good!" said Inuyasha who removed his torn robe and clothing from his upper body.
In fact his shirt had already started to tear itself because his increased size. His red pouch like pants expanded matching his new found growth in size. His hair became more silvery and longer. He found himself clawing at his chest drawing blood out of it and as he did he found himself more alert and the effect of the snake demons venom leaving his as the actual wound on his shoulder healed itself in record time. He let out a dog like howl from the cave that was only muted, but barely by the sound of the raging storm outside. When he stopped howling he fell to the ground unconscious from the strain of the transformation. However, the transformation left its mark as the raging storm outside of the cave seemed afraid of Inuyasha as the storm started to quiet down shortly after Inuyasha howled. Animals that were outside in the storm that wished for sanctuary within the cave changed their minds after hearing the howl and seeing the red glow from within the shadows of the cave.
Time passed long after the storm came and Inuyasha who was still in the cave awoke from his slumber. He got up from the ground cracked his neck and yawned as if it had been the first good night sleep he had received in a long time. When he looked outside of the cave he discovered that it was night fall...and he was hungry...for fresh meat. "Remember our deal my demon side. No killing humans...unless they deserve it," said Inuyasha human voice in his head.
"I know I know my human side. Just sit back and relax. I'm controlling this body now and it's high time I have a little fun with it," said Inuyasha out loud as he was now mobile in the tree line heading to where his stomach pulled him.
Inuyasha passed through two small homes and three small villages till he found himself at a farming area where the farmers used their cattle to assist in their farming efforts. Inuyasha looked at the field with a disgusted look in the trees above because the farmers were using whatever new contraptions they came up with to increase productivity when they should be using their own hands and brains. "Lazy humans. If they didn't multiply like insects so much they would've been wiped out in a heart beat by now. And I would...what...what is this?" said Inuyasha whose look of disgust turned into a look of interest as one of the cattle appeared to have walked from the barn and out onto the field. It was alone with no one around to retrieve it from its spot.
Inuyasha heard his stomach give a low growl that it was hungry. Inuyasha smiled as he crackled his claws and began to drool from his mouth with sheer delight. "It's been along time since I ate meat raw. It's almost like tasting a rare wine. Heheheh," said Inuyasha who moved in on the target a great speed, velocity, and strength that tore through his prey like it was noting.
The poor animal didn't even get a chance to make a noise as Inuyasha hitthe animalhard to the ground and ripped out the animal's throat to prevent it from making any noises. Inuyasha however, did as he chewed and tore at the flesh of his four legged prey. It wasn't long till Inuyasha was finished with his meal and was using a broken bone from the animal's rib cage as a toothpick to get chunks of meat from his teeth free from the gaps in the gum line.
Just as he got up from the ground and was about to leave he heard a female scream not far from where he was. "What the hell?" said Inuyasha who turned his head frowning in the direction to the sound of the scream as he wiped off what blood was on his face and body.
Inuyasha could tell the scream was not directed at him, but it was directed near hissurroundings. Something was happening near him and he was curious just enough to want to know what it was that gave out such a scream. "Hello! What do we have here?" said Inuyasha found the source of the scream from a young woman who from what Inuyasha could see was around his age, was very beautiful, was a priestess from what the clothing she wore, and was...blind?
Inuyasha wasn't sure about her being blind from where he was sitting, but found this to be very interesting to him since it was rare to find a priestess who was blind. She had no cover over her eyes of any sort to indicate that she was, but the eyes themselves were all white, which indicated to him that the priestess was possiblyin fact blind. "The only way I will know for sure if she's blind is if I investigate this matter more...up close," said Inuyasha as he moved form his position to a closer one.
However, as Inuyasha got closer he realized to himself that he had been so amazed by his discovery he failed to notice why the priestess had screamed in the first place. When he looked again from his new spot he saw why. Four men were with her, but from the look on her face he knew it wasn't by choice. One of the men who looked a little drunk knocked her down in the ground as she tried to fend them off with her walking stick she had in hand. Another man took the stick away from her. She tried to move her hand around for it as if she couldn't see, but the third man picked her up and held her from behind. "You smell nice priestess. For someone who's blind that is," said the drunken man holding her as he smelled her hair.
"Let go of me. This is sacrilege to hurt apriestess," said the woman as she squirmed to get free.
The fourth man who was probably the drunkest of all the four approached her face to face. "But were not here to hurt you. Were here to LOVE you!" he said with a drunken smile as he put his hand on her face and moved in to kiss her.
"I would advise against that," came a dark voice from behind the drunken man.
The four men turned to see the person in front of him was a half-demon with the smell of cattle blood on him. "Who the hell are you and what are you the doing here?" said the man in front of the priestess.
"I could ask you the same question human filth. It looks to me like you're about to do something to this priestess that would be considered an...unholy thing to do. Especially a blind one such as her," said Inuyasha as he was now directly in front of the four men who were just a few feet away.
This is none of your concern boy. This is manly business and you're not a man," said the drunken man holding the priestess who out of his own drunken stupidity threw the poor priestess on the ground and the impact caused her to nearly loose consciousness.
"Your right! It's not my concern, but I'm making it mine. And I'm not man. I'm a half-demon!" said Inuyasha as he extended and crackled his claws.
"Yeah! Well you look more like a weak half-demon then a strong one. I bet the four of us could take you down no problem," said the drunken fool to the right of him as all four men surrounded him.
Each one pulled out some sort of blade that were longer or shorter then the others. "Nice blades guys...for drunken humans like yourselves that is, but compared to mine all that makes yours is a very weak knife!" said Inuyasha as he drew Tetsuigia from his sheath that nearly touched the hairs on one of the four no shocked men's heads.
"Whoa! That's one big blade!" said the guy behind Inuyasha who step away a little out of fear he was in range of it.
"Don't worry about it. It's probably so heavy he can barely wield it. I bet it just used to intimidate people and nothing more," said another guy to Inuyashas left.
"I'm going to say this once to you four morons before I start killing you. Leave this priestess alone and get out of here before I do something...unholy of my own," said Inuyasha as his eyes glowed blood red behind his silver hair as he began to drool from his mouth as his fierce scowl turned into a psychotic smile.
"What? And spoil our fun! Why are you even helping this priestess? What's in it for you?" said the man in front of him whose weapon was the longest of the all four of them.
"There is nothing in it for me. I just feel...that the priestess shouldn't have her soul destroyed by four drunken jackasses who are about to lose there's," said Inuyasha who looked over at the barely conscious priestess and the back to the man in front of him.
"Your threatening us you half-demon spawned freak of nature. You're not in a position to threaten us," said the man behind him
At that moment the priests regain some form of consciousness to stared in the direction of her supposed rescuer and sensed something horrible. "I tried to showmercy to you arrogant and blind fools and you shove it back at me in spades. Well from here in out I am going to show you and your stupid friends no mercy! And when I get done with all of you hell...will be considered heaven in comparison!" said Inuyasha as he let out a very mean growl as he sliced the arm of the man in front of him off with his Tetsuigia spun around with his momentum and clawed the man's back spilling blood everywhere as they tore through his shirt and flesh.
"Remember! Kill only the four. Your not to harm the priestess," said Inuyashas human side in his mind.
"I remember. I won't hurt a single hair on her head. After all I'm the good guy here," said Inuyashas demon side inside his mind.
The man fell down screaming in pain as his three associates look at Inuyasha in shock and horror. "Forget this I know the difference between a fight and suicide and fighting him is clearly it," said one of men as he started running away as did the other.
"Don't leave now...the suffering and slaughtering just started!" said Inuyasha as he leaped into their and came crashing down on all of them.
Though blind priestess could not see what was happening she could hear the screams of her attackers being ironically attack by anther unknown half-demon attacker. She heard cries of pain as her half-demon savior butchered everyone of the four men as they pleaded and begged for help just as the half-demon said they would. But their was more to it then that she saw with her other senses. Her remaining spiritual powers she had left till she recovered allowed her to feel the suffering of the others, but there's seemed pointless to what she felt from the half-demon. She gasped at his pain as the saidhalf demon was down to the last man he had started with. She could sense the dying man being lifted into the air with one hand by throat as the half-demon held his prey high over his head like a trophy almost. "You're...your not...a half-demon! You're the...the...devil!" said the man as blood slowly dripped from his mouth as he spoke.
Inuyasha pulled the man closer to him so the dying man could stare at his blood red glowing eyes. "I wish I was, but luck for you I'm not. However, I can still be the next...best...thing," said Inuyasha who let out a small laugh.
"What's...that?" said the man only to wish he hadn't.
"BEING THE ONE WHO SENDS YOU TO HIM!" said Inuyasha who thrusted Tetsuigia into the mans gut. Inuyasha then let go of the mans throat as the body slid a little to the center of the blade. Inuyasha then did a vertical slash destroying the body in a bloody way scattering the limbs, organs, and blood everywhere.
Inuyasha walked over to the priestess who looked at him in with fear and sadness on her face. "You..." that was all she could say as she fell unconscious from the stress and pain she received at the hands of her attackers.
Inuyasha stared at her curiously and wondered what she was about to say, but decided to pay no mind to it. "It's all right priests you're in good hands...mine!" said Inuyasha with a smile as he picked her up and walked away from the carnage he had created.
