{Last time}
There it was all this time and she didn't even know or realize it. But Pietro was in so many ways like Inu-Yasha. Everything about him actually. That smirk he always has on, the cocky attitude, the tough guy acts, smart remarks, the way he looks at her, the white hair, the liking to anything red, and how he attacks every boy, like Ranma, when they started to get a little to closer to her. Everything was spelled out for her yet she couldn't read the signs until just now. How could she have been so blind to them? All this time and she never realized but she's been with Inu- Yasha the entire time just in a different form.
{Sesshou-Maru}
[Ugh!! I remember now! My brother said the exact something to her when we were at our father's grave. So, the old bug was right... Pietro is the human soul of my little brother reincarnated.] Sesshou-Maru realized, looking at the two men in front of him, staring each other down about ready to get into fight.
{Present time}
:"Get away from her!": Inu-Yasha yelled, charging at Pietro.
:"Not likely!": Pietro yelled back, charging at Inu-Yasha.
The two came closer and closer to each other. Inu-Yasha jumped into the air and landed behind Pietro, before Pietro could turn around, and slashed his claws down Pietro's back. Pietro fell to the ground on his stomach with the sheathed Tetsusaiga still in his hand. Inu-Yasha started to come in with another attack but Pietro quickly rolled over on to his back and held the katana up in front of him.
Inu-Yasha's hand made contact with barrier yet again and sent him back. Pietro crawled up onto his feet and watched youkai Inu-Yasha stand up, growling at him. All Pietro had to do was stay behind the barrier and he was safe and he had to keep Inu-Yasha away from Kagome but how was the question. It was still true that this Inu-Yasha still had feelings for Kagome but it was more lust than love.
Inu-Yasha started charging at Pietro again but this time he was goin to find a way to get the sword out his hands. Pietro held the sword up in front of him ready for Inu-Yasha. Only one problem Inu-Yasha moved too fast for him to see and then found Inu-Yasha behind him, reaching around him, bending his wrests back, and making him drop the Tetsusaiga. Inu-Yasha then let go of Pietro and kicked him in the back, sending Pietro far away from the Tetsusaiga.
:"Bastard!": Pietro spat, holding his wrests close to his body, glaring at Inu-Yasha from the ground.
:"RRRRR! You're mine!!": Inu-Yasha yelled, running at Pietro.
By this time Pietro had gotten pretty damn mad. He was even madder than when he saw Ranma and Kagome going at it on the couch. Pietro sure as hell wasn't going to let this youkai get a hold of Kagome. Kagome ment everything to him. Pietro stood up, balled his hands into fist, and shot his head up to look at a charging Inu-Yasha.
:"You're dead!!": Pietro yelled, running at Inu-Yasha.
The next thing Inu-Yasha knew he had a firm fist in his face, knocking him back about 6 feet. Inu-Yasha looked surprised at Pietro as Pietro stared at him with malice. Inu-Yasha could feel his blood run out his nose and mouth. How dare this NINGEN strike him so! Inu-Yasha wiped at hand over his nose and mouth, coating his hand in his blood. Now this ningen was in for it.
:"Claws of Blood!!": Inu-Yasha yelled, sending claw shaped blades of blood at Pietro.
:"Shit!": Pietro yelled, barely dodging the blood.
:"Claws of Blood!!": Inu-Yasha yelled out again, sending another attack at Pietro.
:"Whoa!! That's it!!": Pietro yelled, dodging it again and came at Inu-Yasha.
Inu-Yasha barely dodged Pietro's kick at him. Inu-Yasha jumped into the air and came down behind Pietro, knocking him in the back of the head. Pietro hit the ground with a thump. Inu-Yasha then raised a foot above Pietro head ready to break his skull in.
:"Pietro, move!! Inu-Yasha's going to crush your head in!!": Kagome yelled, running up to Inu-Yasha and Pietro.
:"Shut-up, Kagome!!": Inu-Yasha yelled, sending his foot down on Pietro's head.
But before Inu-Yasha's foot landed on Pietro's head and yellow wipe of energy wrapped around his ankle and flipped him up into the air and away from Pietro.
:"Ningen, get up!": Sesshou-Maru yelled as Pietro forced himself to stand.
:"RRRRR!! Stay out of this!!": Inu-Yasha growled, glaring at Sesshou- Maru.
:"Never take your eyes off ME!": Pietro yelled, running up to Inu- Yasha and landing his hardest punch into Inu-Yasha's gut, sending him back about 14 feet.
Inu-Yasha was kneeling on his knees, holding his stomach. How is that a ningen could be so strong? Wait! That scent! Could this ningen be him?! No way! But still...
:"WHO the hell are you?! WHAT the hell are you?!": Inu-Yasha yelled, standing up on shaky feet.
:"What... What kind of garbage are you spouting now...?!": Pietro spat, glaring daggers at Inu-Yasha.
:"Your scent... You... You smell like exactly like I do! You smell just like me!": Inu-Yasha barked, glaring angrily at Pietro.
:"What...??!!": Pietro asked, looking at Inu-Yasha in total shock.
{The Elementals and the X-Men}
"What did Inu-Yasha said to Pietro that made him look so shocked?!" Jean asked, looking at Logan.
"That Inu-Yasha guy said that Pietro smells just like him! Exactly like him!" Logan said, looking at Jean.
"You're like kidding us right, Mr. Logan?! How can those two smell alike?!!" Kitty asked, looking at Logan.
"I can tell you. The demon before you is only a half-breed. My half brother's human soul died long ago, leaving only his demon soul and blood to play in his flesh. And what Inu-Yasha doesn't realize is that Pietro is him, his human half—reborn. Inu-Yasha's human reincarnation to be exact." Sesshou-Maru said plainly with a stoic face.
"Take Kagome for example. She is my reincarnation. I am dead brought back by black magic. But Kagome is living with my soul therefore she is me. Ironic, don't you think, that Inu-Yasha's human soul would be reborn when my own soul was reborn and that they found each other once more?" Kikyou asked, sitting down on a down tree.
"Hmmm... Sounds like a case of soul mates to me." Kouga said, scratching the back of his head.
"Man! That's something!" Evan said, looking at three demons that just spoke.
"All right that makes since, I guess. But what about Pietro sudden power surge? He never was that strong before." Scott asked, looking at Sesshou-Maru.
"My guess is that part of demon soul was still connected to his human soul and that laid dormant until recently. Did he ever have this surge of power before?" Sesshou-Maru asked, looking at Scott.
"Better ask Ranma that question." Scott said, pointing at Ranma.
"Well?" Sesshou-Maru asked, looking at Ranma.
"Boy did he ever! He knocked me through a set of doors and punched a hole in some cement where my head was." Ranma said, crossing his arms.
"Hey, guys! What's Kagome doing with the Tetsusaiga?" Azumi asked, looking at Kagome pick up the Tetsusaiga.
{Kagome, Pietro, and Inu-Yasha}
Kagome was looking at the Tetsusaiga as Pietro and Inu-Yasha stared each other down. Inu-Yasha just confirmed her thoughts about Pietro. And now there was only one choice she could make before the two destroyed each other. And that was to release youkai Inu-Yasha from this world forever. He wasn't the Inu-Yasha she knew and loved. The one she loved was lost to her and was now reborn into Pietro. Inu-Yasha used the last of his human soul to have Kikyou seal him away for good so his demon side wouldn't kill anyone. That was her Inu-Yasha.
Pietro stared at Inu-Yasha as thoughts racing through his head. What did this youkai mean by that they smelt alike? How could that be possible? But as Pietro started at Inu-Yasha eyes images started to hit his mind. Some where of that fox demon when he was little, some bad ones of that Kikyou person, some of that wolf demon, some of that dog demon, some of that cat demon, and other ones of Naraku and his incarnations who ever they were. But the ones that flash in his mind the most were of Kagome crying, yelling, smiling, scared, hurt, sleeping, and laughing. But what was most disturbing was that as he looked at all of their faces he felt like he was looking through someone else's eyes.
He then had another flash of beautiful woman holding him in her arms almost as if he was a little child. Then image became more like a vision. He had is back against the same woman as her arms reached around holding him close to her as they looked out into the water. He then moved his head down to look into the water and saw the same woman holding a him holding a child version of Inu-Yasha the same way. Pietro /-/still in his vision/-/ lifted his hands and saw small, chubby hands of a child with claws on the fingers. He then looked back into the water and saw the child version of Inu-Yasha doing the same thing. He would move his hand and the reflection would do the same.
He was looking through a child Inu-Yasha's eyes. After realizing that more memories came flooding into him. Memories that didn't belong to him but Inu-Yasha. Why would he have these memories when they're not his? But the next thing Pietro knew he realized who he really was. He was Inu- Yasha's human half reborn. Now he knew what he had to do and that was to get rid of his demon counterpart.
:"Who are you?!": youkai Inu-Yasha growled, charging at Pietro.
:"Someone who you killed off!!": Pietro yelled, charging at Inu- Yasha.
[What did Pietro mean by that? Wait! Could he have remember his past somehow?!] Kagome mused as the boys punched each other square in the face.
The boys where knocked back by each of each other's punches. They both stood up and glared at each other again before coming at each yet again punching and kicking. Unfortunately for Pietro the scratches that Inu- Yasha had inflicted on his back earlier has been bleeding badly and Pietro his loosing his strength. Inu-Yasha realized this and took advantage of it. He landed a hard kick to Pietro's stomach and then a hard knock to the back of the head, knocking Pietro out cold.
:"Oh, no!! Pietro!!": Kagome screamed, running up to Pietro but was grabbed by Inu-Yasha.
:"RRRRR! Where do you think you're going, Kagome?!": Inu-Yasha growled, pulling Kagome over a tree and pushed her back into it.
:"NO!! Let go of me!!": Kagome cried, trying to get free of Inu- Yasha's hold as he pinned her wrests to the tree.
:"Not likely!": Inu-Yasha barked, holding on to her tighter.
:"Osuwari!": Kagome yelled, out as Inu-Yasha fell to the ground with a thump.
Kagome then looked down at the katana in her hand. She had to do it. She kneeled down the Inu-Yasha as she started to sit up out of the ground. Their eyes met and Kagome started to hum something into his kawaii dog ear.
/-/ A/N here is the song part. Look at the end of the chapter for he translation of this song./-/
:"Hontou ni taisetsu na mono igai subete sutete / Shimaetara ii no ni ne / Genjitsu wa tada zankoku de / Sonna toki itsu datte / Me o tojireba / Waratteru kimi ga iru / Itsuka eien no nemuri ni tsuku hi made / Dou ka sono egao ga / Taema naku aru you ni / Hito wa minna kanashii kara / Wasurete yuku ikimono dakedo / Aisubeki mono no tame / Ai o kureru mono no tame dekiru koto / Deatta ano koro wa / Subete ga bukiyou de / Toomawari shita yo ne / Kizutsuke atta yo ne / Itsuka eien no nemuri ni tsuku hi made / Dou ka sono egao ga / Taema naku aru you ni / Deatta ano koro wa / Subete ga bukiyou de / Toomawari shita yo ne / Tadoritsuitan da ne": Kagome sang as she stared Inu-Yasha blood red eyes.
Inu-Yasha's eyes softened at the end of the song. He remember that Kagome had sung that to him once. As Inu-Yasha kept staring into Kagome's bright brown eyes Kagome was unsheathing the Tetsusaiga behind her back. Now was her chance while he was lost in memory to get it over with, but could she really do it? How could she kill something that she used to love so dearly? Kagome bit her lip as she scooted a little closer to Inu-Yasha. She slowly pulled the Tetsusaiga out from behind her back and made sure his eyes stayed fixed on her eyes.
By now Pietro had reawakened and saw what Kagome was planning to do. He watched as Kagome held to sword so she could easily pierce Inu-Yasha in the heart. Kagome was shaking, she was so scared. But this had to be done for Inu-Yasha. Inu-Yasha never wanted to kill and so this wasn't Inu-Yasha. Kagome's eyes began tear up.
:"INU-YASHA, FORGIVE ME!!!": Kagome screamed, thrusting the rusty blade of the Tetsusaiga into Inu-Yasha's heart as hard as she could, crying.
:"UGH!! K-Ka... Go... Me... Nnnn...": Inu-Yasha said, looking at Kagome in blank stare of shock.
Inu-Yasha then collapsed onto his side still looking at Kagome as tears ran down her face. Inu-Yasha's vision started to blur and grew black. Inu-Yasha then closed his eyes never to open them again. By now Kagome was crying mess. She never wanted to see Inu-Yasha die and to have him die by her own hands...
Pietro stood up and started towards when he saw set of chains come strait for Kagome. Pietro started to run to her but before he could get there the chains wrapped firmly around Kagome's neck and yanked her Kagome off the ground.
"Kagome!! Hold on!! Whoa!" Pietro yelled, getting closer to her but then came to sudden stop yet again.
"How dare you kill off my demon I worked so hard to get!! You'll die for that!!" Magneto voice yelled out from somewhere.
"Azumi, I thought you were watching him!!" Sesshou-Maru barked at his daughter.
"I'm sorry, Father! My mind was on the fight!" Azumi said, bow to her father.
"Pie... Tro... Help m-me!" Kagome gagged out as she hung up high in the air, pulling at the chain around her neck.
"Let her go!!" Pietro yelled, straining to stand up.
"Your standing?!" Magneto asked in surprise.
"Yeah, I'm standing... Now let Kagome go!!" Pietro yelled, moving as fast as could, which was barely a walking pace.
"Humph! Like I would let the girl that killed my demon go free! She is going to die for that!!" Magneto said, sending Kagome towards a large tree.
"STOP IT!!! FATHER, DON'T DO IT!! DEAR GOD!! KAGOME!!" Pietro yelled, trying to get to Kagome but couldn't get any where to a walking pace but someone did however get to Kagome.
"I gotcha!!" Kouga said, catching Kagome and jumped away from the tree with Kagome in arms.
"Not so fast, wolf!!" Magneto said, sending sword into his shoulder causing him to loose Kagome.
"OH NO!!" Kouga yelled as Magneto got a hold of Kagome again and sent her towards another tree.
"P-PIETRO!! (cough) H-HELP ME!!" Kagome yelled as she neared the tree.
"I won't let you kill her!!" Pietro yelled, fighting against the metal in his ankles with of his strength.
The next thing he Pietro knew a sharp pain was in his ankles but he had gotten his speed back. What had happened was Pietro fought against the metal in his ankles causing them to exit his body thus giving Pietro his speed back. It was now or never. Pietro quickly raced towards the tree getting ever closer to Kagome only a few seconds left and Kagome was going to hit that tree. Pietro took a leap into the air reaching out for Kagome as another set of chains started towards him.
"L-look out!!" Kagome screamed, looking at the chains near Pietro right as he grabbed a hold of her hand.
"What the...?!! It can't be!!" Kikyou said in shock as she saw something else head towards Pietro and Kagome and it wasn't metal. Kikyou could only hope it would make it in time.
/-/ A/N What a mean ass cliffy! Hehehehe!! I'm so cruel! I better get some good reviews if you want to see what happens!! Hehehehe!! This story has a great twist in the next chapter so don't you dare miss a moment of it! Buh Bye!!/-/
Song Translation:
It would be nice if we could put away and throw out / everything except what really / mattered, but / reality is just cruel.
In such times, / I see you laughing / whenever I close my eyes.
Until the day I reach eternal sleep, / that smiling face will / have to stay with me without fail.
People are all sad, so / they go and forget, but--
For that which I should love, / For that which gives me love, I will do what I can.
Back then, when we met, / it was all awkward. / We went the long way, didn't we? / We got hurt, didn't we?
Until the day I reach eternal sleep, / that smiling face will / have to stay with me without fail.
Back then, when we met, / it was all awkward. / We went the long way, didn't we? / We got there in the end.

:"You're dead!!": Pietro yelled, running at Inu-Yasha.
The next thing Inu-Yasha knew he had a firm fist in his face, knocking him back about 6 feet. Inu-Yasha looked surprised at Pietro as Pietro stared at him with malice. Inu-Yasha could feel his blood run out his nose and mouth. How dare this NINGEN strike him so! Inu-Yasha wiped at hand over his nose and mouth, coating his hand in his blood. Now this ningen was in for it.
:"Claws of Blood!!": Inu-Yasha yelled, sending claw shaped blades of blood at Pietro.
:"Shit!": Pietro yelled, barely dodging the blood.
:"Claws of Blood!!": Inu-Yasha yelled out again, sending another attack at Pietro.
:"Whoa!! That's it!!": Pietro yelled, dodging it again and came at Inu-Yasha.
Inu-Yasha barely dodged Pietro's kick at him. Inu-Yasha jumped into the air and came down behind Pietro, knocking him in the back of the head. Pietro hit the ground with a thump. Inu-Yasha then raised a foot above Pietro head ready to break his skull in.
:"Pietro, move!! Inu-Yasha's going to crush your head in!!": Kagome yelled, running up to Inu-Yasha and Pietro.
:"Shut-up, Kagome!!": Inu-Yasha yelled, sending his foot down on Pietro's head.
But before Inu-Yasha's foot landed on Pietro's head and yellow wipe of energy wrapped around his ankle and flipped him up into the air and away from Pietro.
:"Ningen, get up!": Sesshou-Maru yelled as Pietro forced himself to stand.
:"RRRRR!! Stay out of this!!": Inu-Yasha growled, glaring at Sesshou- Maru.
:"Never take your eyes off ME!": Pietro yelled, running up to Inu- Yasha and landing his hardest punch into Inu-Yasha's gut, sending him back about 14 feet.
Inu-Yasha was kneeling on his knees, holding his stomach. How is that a ningen could be so strong? Wait! That scent! Could this ningen be him?! No way! But still...
:"WHO the hell are you?! WHAT the hell are you?!": Inu-Yasha yelled, standing up on shaky feet.
:"What... What kind of garbage are you spouting now...?!": Pietro spat, glaring daggers at Inu-Yasha.
:"Your scent... You... You smell like exactly like I do! You smell just like me!": Inu-Yasha barked, glaring angrily at Pietro.
:"What...??!!": Pietro asked, looking at Inu-Yasha in total shock.
{The Elementals and the X-Men}
"What did Inu-Yasha said to Pietro that made him look so shocked?!" Jean asked, looking at Logan.
"That Inu-Yasha guy said that Pietro smells just like him! Exactly like him!" Logan said, looking at Jean.

"Hey, guys! What's Kagome doing with the Tetsusaiga?" Azumi asked, looking at Kagome pick up the Tetsusaiga.
{Kagome, Pietro, and Inu-Yasha}
Kagome was looking at the Tetsusaiga as Pietro and Inu-Yasha stared each other down. Inu-Yasha just confirmed her thoughts about Pietro. And now there was only one choice she could make before the two destroyed each other. And that was to release youkai Inu-Yasha from this world forever. He wasn't the Inu-Yasha she knew and loved.

Kagome then looked down at the katana in her hand. She had to do it. She kneeled down the Inu-Yasha as she started to sit up out of the ground. Their eyes met and Kagome started to hum something into his kawaii dog ear.
/-/ A/N here is the song part. Look at the end of the chapter for he translation of this song./-/
:"Hontou ni taisetsu na mono igai subete sutete / Shimaetara ii no ni ne / Genjitsu wa tada zankoku de / Sonna toki itsu datte / Me o tojireba / Waratteru kimi ga iru / Itsuka eien no nemuri ni tsuku hi made / Dou ka sono egao ga / Taema naku aru you ni / Hito wa minna kanashii kara / Wasurete yuku ikimono dakedo / Aisubeki mono no tame / Ai o kureru mono no tame dekiru koto / Deatta ano koro wa / Subete ga bukiyou de / Toomawari shita yo ne / Kizutsuke atta yo ne / Itsuka eien no nemuri ni tsuku hi made / Dou ka sono egao ga / Taema naku aru you ni / Deatta ano koro wa / Subete ga bukiyou de / Toomawari shita yo ne / Tadoritsuitan da ne": Kagome sang as she stared Inu-Yasha blood red eyes.
Inu-Yasha's eyes softened at the end of the song. He remember that Kagome had sung that to him once. As Inu-Yasha kept staring into Kagome's bright brown eyes Kagome was unsheathing the Tetsusaiga behind her back. Now was her chance while he was lost in memory to get it over with, but could she really do it? How could she kill something that she used to love so dearly?

But this had to be done for Inu-Yasha. Inu-Yasha never wanted to kill and so this wasn't Inu-Yasha. Kagome's eyes began tear up.
:"INU-YASHA, FORGIVE ME!!!": Kagome screamed, thrusting the rusty blade of the Tetsusaiga into Inu-Yasha's heart as hard as she could, crying.
:"UGH!! K-Ka... Go... Me... Nnnn...": Inu-Yasha said, looking at Kagome in blank stare of shock.
Inu-Yasha then collapsed onto his side still looking at Kagome as tears ran down her face. Inu-Yasha's vision started to blur and grew black. Inu-Yasha then closed his eyes never to open them again. By now Kagome was crying mess. She never wanted to see Inu-Yasha die and to have him die by her own hands...
Pietro stood up and started towards when he saw set of chains come strait for Kagome. Pietro started to run to her but before he could get there the chains wrapped firmly around Kagome's neck and yanked her Kagome off the ground.
"Kagome!! Hold on!! Whoa!" Pietro yelled, getting closer to her but then came to sudden stop yet again.
"How dare you kill off my demon I worked so hard to get!! You'll die for that!!" Magneto voice yelled out from somewhere.
"Azumi, I thought you were watching him!!" Sesshou-Maru barked at his daughter.
"I'm sorry, Father! My mind was on the fight!" Azumi said, bow to her father.
"Pie... Tro... Help m-me!" Kagome gagged out as she hung up high in the air, pulling at the chain around her neck.
"Let her go!!" Pietro yelled, straining to stand up.
"Your standing?!" Magneto asked in surprise.
"Yeah, I'm standing... Now let Kagome go!!" Pietro yelled, moving as fast as could, which was barely a walking pace.
"Humph! Like I would let the girl that killed my demon go free! She is going to die for that!!" Magneto said, sending Kagome towards a large tree.
"STOP IT!!! FATHER, DON'T DO IT!! DEAR GOD!! KAGOME!!" Pietro yelled, trying to get to Kagome but couldn't get any where to a walking pace but someone did however get to Kagome.
"I gotcha!!" Kouga said, catching Kagome and jumped away from the tree with Kagome in arms.
"Not so fast, wolf!!" Magneto said, sending sword into his shoulder causing him to loose Kagome.
"OH NO!!" Kouga yelled as Magneto got a hold of Kagome again and sent her towards another tree.
"P-PIETRO!! (cough) H-HELP ME!!" Kagome yelled as she neared the tree.
"I won't let you kill her!!" Pietro yelled, fighting against the metal in his ankles with of his strength.
The next thing he Pietro knew a sharp pain was in his ankles but he had gotten his speed back. What had happened was Pietro fought against the metal in his ankles causing them to exit his body thus giving Pietro his speed back. It was now or never. Pietro quickly raced towards the tree getting ever closer to Kagome only a few seconds left and Kagome was going to hit that tree. Pietro took a leap into the air reaching out for Kagome as another set of chains started towards him.
"L-look out!!" Kagome screamed, looking at the chains near Pietro right as he grabbed a hold of her hand.
"What the...?!! It can't be!!" Kikyou said in shock as she saw something else head towards Pietro and Kagome and it wasn't metal. Kikyou could only hope it would make it in time.

Song Translation:
It would be nice if we could put away and throw out / everything except what really / mattered, but / reality is just cruel.
In such times, / I see you laughing / whenever I close my eyes.
Until the day I reach eternal sleep, / that smiling face will / have to stay with me without fail.
People are all sad, so / they go and forget, but--
For that which I should love, / For that which gives me love, I will do what I can.
Back then, when we met, / it was all awkward. / We went the long way, didn't we? / We got hurt, didn't we?
Until the day I reach eternal sleep, / that smiling face will / have to stay with me without fail.
Back then, when we met, / it was all awkward. / We went the long way, didn't we? / We got there in the end.
