Chapter three

The two demons smashed themselves together and retreated over and over again.

Inuyasha was more powerful but his foe was smarter, faster, and more agile then

Inuyasha. Inuyasha released a torrent of flame, lightning and acid but his opponent

evaded it easily. "Inuyasha... Do you truly not remember me?" As the demon said this

Inuyasha's mind reeled. "Sessoumaru!" "Indeed, little brother." It seems you do

remember me after all." Inuyasha replied to this by saying: "Only your name, and who

you are. I remember nothing else." Sessoumaru snickered. "Then let me put you out of

your misery Inuyasha." And then he lunged. Inuyasha was struck off balance and his

brothers fangs sunk deeply into his shoulder. Sessoumaru's acid saliva was burning a

hole right through his arm. One of Inuyasha's heads came down, spewing acid. But

Sessoumaru promptly swung his claw and severed the head from his shoulders.

At that moment a burst of violet flames was released from the nearby forest. It

struck the two demons and they immediately reverted back to their "human" states.

"What!" Sessoumaru exclaimed in shock. From the woods a human emerged. Or so it

seemed. This was no ordinary human. He was covered in a black hood and black

clothing. His demonic aura radiated from him light heat. It was so powerful it seemed to

create a barrier around him. This person was surely a demon. "Intruder!" Inuyasha

howled as he rushed to attack him. A third of his face was missing which had apparently

been one of his heads. He didn't seem to mind. "Iron reaver-Soul stealer!" He yelled as

his claws came rushed down upon the newcomer. But to his shock, his claws moved

away as though pushed by a wall. He tried again. And again. But no matter how many

times he tried his claws could not penetrate the demonic aura. The newcomer grinned.

Then, with incredible speed, black leathery wings burst from his back, bringing with them

the force of a small hurricane. This attack blasted Inuyasha back and he crashed into a

tree. He was knocked unconscious. The newcomer smiled and removed his cloak. His

silver hair was tied back so that it came down the back of his neck in a rat-tail. At his

side, a sword that resembled the Tokigin was sheathed. And across his back was

something Inuyasha would have recognized. It was the thunder pike. He stepped

forwards, towards Sessoumaru and spoke clearly.

"Sessoumaru, leave this place at once. I will not speak my name but I simply say

that in three months time, the panther demons will attack the western lands once more. I

will speak not of where I received this information. But you must leave your brother here

and return to prepare yourself. I will take my leave of you now." The stranger's demonic

aura grew until even an ordinary human would have been able to see it. Then it

consumed him and vanished. "How strange..." Sessoumaru murmured. He turned.

"Jaken, we're leaving." Then without looking back he slowly walked away. As soon as

he was gone, Inuyasha slowly regained consciousness.

He heard a familiar voice nearby. He knew this voice. "Inuyasha... you have

become a full demon. I suppose you are happy. But I am not..." Inuyasha turned and he

saw her. "Kikyo..." He growled. "Yes. I have come to end this journey... But I will

take you to hell with me." She drew her bow back. But even Kikyo's reflexes were now

fast enough for what happened. Just before her arrow was fired, an enormous blue flame

burst from behind her. It consumed her and within moments, Kikyo was dead for good.

Inuyasha turned to this new disturbance. He stepped out of the shadows. The figure said

one thing to him. Something which brought back the memories of that day, long ago.

"Inuyasha! This is for Kagome!"

Well, there you go. Another chapter done. By the way, that dragon demon (yes, it was a dragon demon) is my invention completely so I'm "copywriting" it. Can you guess who the newcomer is? I'll need some more reviews before chapter four, but I update fast.
