CHAPTER 2

Verthed

"Yes I did see something" the elder villager said. "The entire sky went dark. All my cattle started to go crazy, I didn't know what to think. Just then I saw a enormus demonic aura fly right above my field". "Inuyahsa.." Kikyo said. "Yea, I'm thinking the same thing, Naraku." "Can you point us in the direction the demonic aura was heading?" Kikyo asked. "Yes, it was heading west twords the marshes" the villager stated. "Well we're not getting any closer to Naraku just standing here" Inuyasha said. "Thank you very much, you've been a great help to us" Kikyo complimented. "Should you ever need a place to stay, you and your friend are always welcome here" the villager said with a caring gesture. "Thank you, I'll consider it" Kikyo said. She began to speed up her pace to catch up with Inuyasha.

Kikyo and Inuyasha traveled for several days and recieved the same news at each upcoming village. As they traveled closer to the marshes, the sky seemed to darken as they went. "Inuyasha, do you feel that?" Kikyo asked. "Yea, and I smell blood" Inuyasha said. "We're almost there, the marshes are just up ahead" Inuyasha said. "Master Inuyasha!" a small voice said. A small flea jumped on Inuyashas' face and began consuming his blood. Inuyasha slaped his face and held out his hand. "Mioga. What are you doing here?" Inuyasha asked puzzled. "I have news master Inuyasha. It seems that there have been many sitings of a demon shrouded in massive demonic aura, do you suppose this could be Naraku?" Mioga asked. "I'm not really sure myself, all I can smell is blood" Inuyasha said. "There's a monk in this area, his spiritual power is roumered to be amazing" Mioga siad. A vauge memory of Miroku flashed into Inuyashas' head. 'No it couldn't be' Inuyasha thought to himself. "He may be able to help you master Inuyasha" Mioga begged. "Where can I find this monk?" Inuyasha demanded. "He resides in the very center of the marsh, but be careful Inuyasha, strange creatures lurk in those swamps" Mioga said. "Well I must be going, bussniess to attend to" The tiny flea then jumped off of Inuyasha and swiftly went in the opposite direction.

They finially reached the marshes. Tall trees were in every corner. Vines were drapping down from everywhere and fog covered most of the swamps almost making it impossible to see. "It's quiet" Inuyasha said. There was the sound of serpant of some kind around them and at that moment there was nothing but silence. Kikyo and Inuyasha froze in place. Both noded to eachother and sprinted into different direction. A giant snake bearing the mark of a spider on its back arose from the marsh. "Kikyo! Now!" Inuyasha screamed. Kikyo had possistioned herself directly behind the giant serpant. She quickly brought out an arrow, but before she could propperly mount it, the snake-like creature turned and charged its fangs directly in Kikyos' path. DING The sound of a metal blade hitting the serpants fangs rang in a high pitch. "Inuyasha" Kikyo sighed. "Dont just stand there! Shoot it!" Inuyasha protested. Kikyo aimed her arrow at the serpants neck and shot the sacred arrow. It rushed twords the snake surrounded in a spiritual aura. Just before the arrow was about to hit the giant snake-like creature a spherical blur rushed in the path of the arrow. 'What!' Inuyasha thought to himself confused.

A deep and familier voice was resinating from the demonic aura. "Well now, if it isn't my good friend Inuyasha" Naraku said in a amused voice. "I cant have you killing my latest creation. He needs to feed, and that monk wasn't enough for him. Perhaps he'll enjoy the sweet taste of demon blood" Naraku said with a grin. Inuyasha clashed his Tetsaiga against the snakes fangs then double jumped back. "What are you up to this time Naraku!" Inuyasha yelled. "I have only come to claim what is rightfully mine" Naraku said calmly. 'What?' Inuyasha thought to himself. In the past Naraku had already attempted to posses the Tetsaiga, and re-claim the sacred jewl from Inuyasha. "What are you talking about Naraku, I have nothing that belongs to you" Inuyasha said. "Oh I disagree, you have my jewl, and I shall take it back" Naraku said with an even bigger grin. "In case you havn't noticed, Naraku, the jewl was absorbed into me. Theres no way you could get it back" Inuyasha yelled. Naraku began to laugh in an insidious way.

"Go Verthed, retrieve what is mine" Naraku commanded with a smile. The snake charged at Inuyasha. "You're not getting me that easily, Windscar!" Inuyasha screamed as he swung his Tetsaiga. A brilliant charge of energy emitted from the blade and shot twords the snake. Before the windscar could hit its target, a barrier absorbed the blow. 'No!' Inuyasha thought to himself worried. The snake wrapped around Inuyasha and tightened. "AHHHH!" Inuyasha screamed in pain as the serpant coiled around his body. Kikyo shot a sacred arrow in the direction of the snake, but it was again intercepted by Narakus' barrier. Inuyasha stopped struggling and his body became tense. A demonic aura surrounded Inuyasha. His eyes started to turn blood-shot red and his claws extended. "Yes, that's it Inuyasha, just a little more" Naraku said quietly to himself. As soon as Inuyasha had completly transformed into his true demon nature Naraku began to laugh. "That's all I needed. Verthed, now!" Naraku commanded. The giant snake bit into Inuyasha and injected its venom. His demonic aura immediatly sub-sided. 'What's happening to my power!' thought Inuyasha. The snake released him and he fell to the ground. Kikyo rushed to his side. "Inuyasha!" Kikyo screamed. Inuyasha began coughing up blood, and could not stop. Finially, he coughed up the sacred jewl. "No!" Kikyo screamed. Naraku merly pushed her with his mass demonic power. "Finially the sacred jewl is in my possetion" Naraku said pleased. He waved his hand and the snake-like creature dissapated into thin air. "Oh and by the way, it was nice to see you Inuyasha" Naraku said with a smug look. He then summoned his barrier around him and took off, streaking into the distance.
