Chapter 5: Into the Darkness

Inuyasha stared in horror as his demon form tore his claws through a weeping Kagome's chest.

"Inu...Inuyasha..." She slumped forward to her knees on the ground. Her fragile, shaking hands tried desperately to cover the gaping hole in her chest. Blood poured through her fingers as she tried desperately to hold the wound closed. Her eyes were wide with shock and terror, disbelief and betrayal, as she looked deep into his demon forms eyes.

"Please, Inuyasha... why? Wasn't I enough for you?" She stared at him as she realized her fight for survival was fruitless.

His demon form walked slowly towards her, but Kagome did not move. She stood her ground and looked up at him. He put his hands around her throat and Kagome gasped for air.

"Inuyasha...? Does power really mean so much to you?" She closed her eyes and frowned before she calmly accepted her fate, her death. The vision before him slowly disappeared and a voice came from out of the darkness. "Inuyasha, your want for power clouds your judgment. Defeat it." His demon form reappeared in front of him. Inuyasha balled his fists in anger and screamed at the voice coming from the darkness. "I would never hurt Kagome! You hear me? Never!"

The voice only laughed, "Inuyasha, why prolong what must be done in order to move on? Don't you want to see your precious Kagome again?"

Inuyasha ground his together. "Why you..." He charged towards his demon form with over confidence. "You just wait till I kill this puppet of yours, then I'll kill you!" Inuyasha drew his Tetsusaiga and jumped through the air, swinging his blade at his demon form. His demon form quickly jumped backwards, escaping Inuyasha's attack, but not before it created a gash in his chest. His demon form crouched down to the ground in pain for a moment, and then it hit Inuyasha. The feeling of a cut being placed carefully on his chest. His grimaced in pain and looked down at his chest, only to find no cut.

The voice in the darkness laughed at him. "And you thought it was a mere puppet. Oh how wrong you were Inuyasha!"

Inuyasha growled. "What's going on!"

"Remain calm Inuyasha! Anger will not help you here... I told you before, you must defeat you want for power! And by that I meant you must defeat yourself. Ever gash, every wound, every bruise he receives, you will feel, making the battle that much harder." The voice stated calmly.

Inuyasha was becoming impatient. "I don't have time for this! I have to get to Kagome!" I have to tell her how I feel, before someone else does. Inuyasha set Tetsusaiga in front of him and became determined. I will not rest until I have overcome myself. He gathered himself and again began a vicious attack upon his demon form, placing cuts on his arms and legs, the pain he was inflicting to his demon form was starting to get to Inuyasha but he tried his best to ignore it. After planting a few well placed kicks and slashes with his Tetsusaiga, Inuyasha realized that his demon form was not even fighting back. What's goin' on here... In the split moment he took to stop and ponder why his demon form was not attacking him, he was struck through the chest with claws. Inuyasha's eyes grew big and he glared at his other form. His demon form's eyes were blood red and there was a grin upon his face as he pulled his hand out of Inuyasha's chest. Inuyasha fell to the ground but quickly recollected himself and paused again. I have to win for Kagome, I have to win for Kagome. He repeated over and over in his mind.

"Aww, has Inuyasha given up so soon? So the girl really meant nothing to you, huh?" The voice taunted from the background.

"You just don't seem to understand. I have to win for Kagome!" Inuyasha gathered all of his remaining strength and put it into a final attack. He raised his blade and pointed it at his demon form. "Don't worry it will hurt me as much as it hurts you! Windscar!" He unleashed the Windscar and braced himself for the pain he would receive when it hit his demon form. The flash of light appeared and made it's way slowly towards his demon form, and as it hit, Inuyasha felt as though his body was being torn apart. He cried out in pain and fell to his knees. He watched as his demon form slowly disappear and his world began to fade.

"You see Inuyasha, possessing only the blood of a demon does not make you any stronger. As long as you have something to fight for, you have something to live for, you have the strength to carry on..."

Inuyasha's view slowly turned to a bright white, before he drifted away.

Sango walked through the darkness until she reached a row of fresh grave sites. 'Wait I recognize these... this... this is the grave site of the demon exterminators village...'

Tears began to cloud her eyes as she quickly shut them.

"Poor Sango..." a voice from the darkness. "Your past still haunts you?"

Sango opened her eyes quickly, a few tears spilling from them. "What do you want?" Sango put her hand on her Hiraikotsu prepared for battle.

"Oh Sango... you just can't let the past overcome you..." The voice laughed deeply and movement from the soil caught her eye.

Sango's eyes widened, "No, this can't be happening..."

Miroku entered the darkness prepared for anything. 'I do not know how Satyuri thinks, so I do not know what to expect, I can only hope and pray that I can easily overcome this task.'

"Miroku, lecherous monk, you need to learn to love those you have." The voice called from the darkness.

Miroku smirked, "As I try to do, but willing young ladies are so hard to come by now a days."

"You fool! You search for something that lies right in front of you!"

"Miroku's smile disappeared, and various scenes of Miroku's lecherous ways with women appeared around him, each showing Sango's reaction of betrayal. Miroku focused on one scene in which he had his arm slung around a maiden from a village they had visited not to long ago. He smiled at the memory of how close he had gotten to the girl, but his smile soon faded as the scene moved from him and the girl to Sango hiding behind a near by tree. Tears flowed silently down her cheeks and Miroku felt as though his insides were being torn apart.

"Sango..." He whispered.

"So you have feelings for this girl? What if something were to happen before you could tell her?" The voice became deep and a vision of Sango alone appeared.

Miroku's breath caught in his throat. She looked so beautiful. His eyes slowly scanned her body, starting with the soft features of her face turned upward in a smile, framed by her beautiful long hair hanging loose down her back, traveling down her to the beautiful white dress she wore, that tightly hugged her curves before it fell loosely to the floor. But something was wrong, the white dress was turning a deep red. Miroku looked back at Sango's face which was masked in signs of pain. "Sango!" She collapsed as blood began to drip from her stomach to a puddle on the floor. Miroku dropped to his knees as the vision disappeared and he was left on his own. "Sango... I love you..." The darkness around him became white and a few feet away from him was Inuyasha lying on the ground.

Sango shook her head in disbelief as slowly one by one bodies began rising from their graves and walking towards her. Sango's hand rose on its own and released her Hiraikotsu which made its way towards her dead friends. Her Hiraikotsu's power easily over powered them as one by one they were taken down from its path. "No!" Sango yelled as she caught her weapon. She tried desperately to discard it but her body would not listen to her. Two people began to walk from the shadows and Sango stared in horror as her father and brother approached her. Her arm raised again as she tried desperately to stop it. She released her Hiraikotsu, but at the last moment she was able to gain enough control to alter its path, but her power over her actions dissipated. She was once again under some unseen control. She drew her sword and ran towards them landing her blade in their chests. "Brother! Father!" Sango's shoulders began to heave with sobs, and she sank to the ground. Her surroundings faded white and she saw Miroku next to Inuyasha.

Miroku sensed Sango's presence and rushed over to her. He pulled her into his arms and comforted her. "Oh Sango, I thought I had lost you..." Miroku whispered in her ear.

Sango pulled away from him as her tears began to subside. "Wha..."

"Hey you two.. break it up. We have to hurry and find Lady Satyura so we can open the well." Inuyasha called from the ground.

"Inuyasha, calm yourself, Lady Satyura has granted your wish." The white room turned back into the forest and Lady Sotka walked towards them with Shippou and Kilala. "The well has reopened."
