Chapter 3: Tainted Hearts
Everyone in the area had a look of pure shock on their face, even Bankotsu, who didn't keep it long. Everyone else, however, kept looking back and forth from Shippo to Shizari.
"You- you're what?" Shippo asked in a state of shock.
"Shouldn't you be shorter?" InuYasha said, pointing down at Shippo.
Shizari's response was throwing a Fox Fire at InuYasha that was easily cut through by Tetsusaiga.
"Please, I'm much older than Shippo, and much stronger."
Miroku then steps up, "If you are Shippo's brother, then why are you willing to fight us?"
"I realized a long time ago that I had a weak family. But I didn't know how weak, until I hired the Thunder Brothers to test my father's strength. But, of course, I had no idea that he'd die, or," his face becomes more villainous, "That they'd want my brother dead as well."
Shippo nearly collapsed from shock. "I can't believe it…"
Kagome sets up her bow and an arrow, "How can you be so heartless! That was your own family!"
Shizari smiles and closes his eyes, "With power like mine," he opens his eyes and looks at the group, "Who needs family."
"Please!" InuYasha says, "Your strength's only from a Jewel Shard!"
"Well, not entirely," Shizari says, "You see, there was time where I was happy being like I was. This was before I got my Jewel Shard, of course."
(Flashback)
Shizari, in human form, is drinking some tea outside of a house. There is a man also with him.
"You sure do like that tea a lot." The man said.
"That's because it's so good," Shizari says, finishing it up. "Here," he says, pulling out some money, "And there's extra in there to."
"Thanks Shizari." The man said as Shizari walked away. Shizari walks through the villiage until he hears some exclaiming.
"Look!"
Shizari looks at a group of people gathered around the river bank, and joins them. They're all looking at a crow demon that's minus a claw. The crow's flying straight up over the river. He gets ready to fight, but then he notices Kagome on the opposite bank, bow and arrow ready.
'That girl…' Shizari thought, seeing her clothes.
Shizari walks away from the river and out of the village. When he's outside the village, he turns around and sees a purple glow in the sky.
"What the…?" Shizari said under his breath.
The glow then separates into several small lights that scatter as soon as they appear. One of the glows heads directly for Shizari. One light embeds itself in Shizari's armor; he grasps his chest and groans. After a while of that, he recovers, a cold look in the eyes. Then he remembers being with the Thunder Brothers.
(Flashback over)
Bankotsu out of the blue starts laughing, "You got to be kidding me! The girl started the whole thing!"
"Shut up!" Shippo yelled, sending a Fox Fire at Bankotsu, who just cut through it with his hand.
"The kid's got some fight in him." Bankotsu said.
"Maybe," Shizari said, "But he's still too weak. Maybe in a few years he might be considered a threat."
Shippo starts growling as InuYasha starts charging Shizari again.
"Keep fighting or I'll cut your damn head off!" He yells, cutting at Shizari, who pulls out his sword and blocks the attack. The Hiraikotsu being thrown then follows up InuYasha's attempt. Shizari, however, kicks InuYasha back, catches Hiraikotsu, and throws it into a tree. Bankotsu however, has an impatient look on him.
"Shizari," Bankotsu says, looking to Shizari, "Just finish it and let's go."
Shizari nods and then creates a wall of Fox Fire. When it disappears, instead of Shizari, there were 5 of them.
"Damn this! Which is the real one?"
The 5 Shizari's then rush at InuYasha. Miroku looks close at all of them and then throws throws a sutra at the one on the far right. That Shizari stops, clutching the sutra-covered spot, and the others disappear. It's then that InuYasha brings Tetsusaiga to his side, as though to swing it.
"Alright, now I'm pissed. So prepare to die Shizari! Backlash Wave!"
InuYasha then swings his sword and a wave of several tornadoes gets blasted at Shizari, who at the last minute makes his sword change into Tenseiga and makes a barrier to save himself. Unfortunately, he was hasty in creating the barrier, and it gave way just in time for him to get run through with the tornadoes.
"Looks like its over." InuYasha said, sheathing the sword. But as he's walking away, Shizari stands back up, blood all over him. But just as he's about to attack, someone yells out.
"InuYasha!"
InuYasha looks behind in a hurry and Shizari, with a look of shock on his face, also turns his head. A tornado bursts out of the forest. When it subsides, Koga is there, and, after looking at the scene (and glaring at Bankotsu), he looks at InuYasha.
"InuYasha! What happened to Kagome?"
"Nothing, you stupid wolf!" InuYasha yelled. "Now I'll deal with you when I-" InuYasha glances back at Shizari, "finish… this guy… off? How'd he- duh."
(Flashback to Movie 5)
Shizari as Konaru just jumped onto a tree branch to avoid a swing from Tetsusaiga. InuYasha then starts talking smugly,
"I guess you finally realized that you can't beat me without the powers of that weapon."
Shizari unsheathes his sword, and smiles evilly.
"I thought you realized by now that the YumeTajiya's power can be used outside the Dream Realm, thanks to the Jewel Shard in it."
(End Flashback)
Koga looks at Shizari, who's breathing hard.
"You haven't even beaten a Fox?"
"Pathetic, isn't it?" Bankotsu said.
"So, you're here to?" Koga said at Bankotsu.
"Just to watch the show."
"Well show's over!" InuYasha yelled. Shizari then decides to speak.
"A-alright, Inu-Yasha," Shizari said, with strain, "You win, f-or now." Shizari pulls a Jewel Shard out of his armor, "Take the stupid shard, I don't need it."
Shizari throws the shard and runs off. The shard lands in Shippo's hands. InuYasha looks pissed.
"Coward, get back here!" InuYasha yells. After a few seconds of looking down the road, he turns his head to Bankotsu.
"He might be gone, but you're still here." InuYasha says, pulling Tetsusaiga back out. Bankotsu stands up and twirls Banryuu over his head about 5 times, then brings it down. InuYasha is about to charge Bankotsu when he hears something similar to a heartbeat. He turns around and (like everyone else) notices the jewel shard in Shippo's hand is glowing black.
"Shippo! Drop the shard, now!" Kagome yelled, in vain. InuYasha, then glances behind him to see Bankotsu is gone. He growls a bit, and then turns back to the scene at hand. The Jewel Shard suddenly emits a shockwave that knocks everyone back. When they all regain composure, they all look at Shippo, who is now emitting a purple aura. His clothes (Even his bow) are also altered, to shades of purple, except his vest. When the aura dissipates, his eyes open (Yes, they were closed), they flash red for a minute, then, become narrower.
"What a rush," he says, coldness in his voice.
