Chapter 13-Unholy Vengeance

(With Kane and Kagura-Two hours later)

Kane was by far not happy with his current situation one bit as the rain of blood Inuyasha produced had finally stopped after two full hours of constant down pouring. This in itself created a massive river of the stuff just above the knee area when he jumped off his tree as did Kagura who surprisingly or unsurprisingly depending on your point of view didn't mind the river of bloody rain in the slightest. "You know Kane if I were more of a loyal servant of Naraku then I am now I might feel sorry for you," said Kagura in a slightly sarcastic tone as she was secretly bathing her toes in the bloody river getting a feel for the liquid around her though she couldn't understand why she was.

"If I didn't have to deal with the imminent threat that was Inuyasha right now Kagura I'd take your life right now. Lucky for you I guess," said Kane giving her a smirk though that in itself was a bluff as he didn't really want to fight on two fronts instead of one.

"Then why are you still here?" said Kagura as she found this conversation with Kane very amusing to say the least.

"I know Inuyasha is coming for me and if I know Naraku like I think I do then he's going to send some to take my four sacred jewel shards away from me for not completing the assignment. I'd prefer to stand my ground and not run like a coward like some of us do," said Kane indicating that she ran from battle on more then one occasion.

Kagura frowned slightly at the cheap shot Kane got at her as she had fled the scene of battles involving Inuyasha a couple of times, but in her defense she knew she had to if she wanted to live. "Perhaps, but I only retreated when I knew I couldn't win. However, I'm willing to wager that you would have run away from a fight if you knew you weren't getting paid," said Kagura trying to get in a cheap shot of her own.

Kane snarled and raised his weapon towards Kagura as if it were an open challenge for an open fight between the two of them. "Don't assume you know me like you should witch for if you did then you would know you're about to die!" said Kane who moved fast as he leaped into the air and brought his now spinning blade straight down onto Kagura.

At the last moment a hooked chain made for demon slaying had come out of nowhere flying from the trees at Kane. Kane seeing this with some surprise at such a sneak attack forced himself to maneuver in mid-air away from the weapon. Then he jumped once he landed he jumped backwards to try and gain his balance once again and get a good look at his assailant. "Identify yourself!" said Kane as he got into a fighting stance with his weapon ready for a fight.

The chained weapon went back into the trees like a snake recoiling from a strike on its missed prey and the one who wielded it. "I've come to take back what you stole from my master," said the young voice as the body that it belonged to revealed a boy wearing demon slaying clothing and weapons created for such a purpose.

Kane looked at the by for a moment as he remembered seeing the boy before recognizing the boy as Naraku's little errand boy. "Kohaku I presume?" said Kane as he had only met the boy once when Naraku first introduced himself to Kane that ended up with the demon mercenary meeting Naraku again a second time to discuss the attack on Inuyasha leading everything up till now.

"Yes. Though enough formalities. Give me the jewel shards my master gave you or I will kill you to get them. Choose wisely," said Kohaku as he completely ignored Kagura and stared entirely at Kane with his glazed over eyes meaning he was Naraku's loyal puppet.

Unknown to Kohaku, Kagura and Kane another figure was watching this with interest from the shadows of the trees hidden in the darkness of the storm clouds. However, while all three objectives were in this area of the forest it unfortunately, could only complete one objective at a time...starting with Kagura. Appeared behind her without making a sound it grabbed her from behind and vanished into the shadows before the other two realized she was gone. "Don't move or it will be your last. After all my brother wants you brought back alive as he seems to have...feelings for you," said the voice as its hand left her mouth and with that Kagura instantly recognized as she had heard them before.

"Inuyasha," said Kagura in a very light whisper that only he could hear as to not involve the other two that were now fighting.

"You got all in one Kagura. Do me a favor and go back to Sesshomorru and tell him that his brother is coming back to the Western Lands with a gift. A special gift for that certain special someone I hold dear to my heart," said Inuyasha a faint whisper as he smiled as she shivered from the chill he gave her.

"Of course Lord Inuyasha," said Kagura nodding and emphasizing on Lord as that was his title that she would speak out of respect to him.

"Good. Go then to him as he misses you," said Inuyasha as he let go of her now shocked form entirely and she ever so carefully left the area undetected leaving Inuyasha to for the moment be a spectator in this fight between Kane and Kohaku.

(Castle of the Western Lands-At the moment)

"Lord Sesshomorru was that really Lord Inuyasha I saw in those storm clouds?" said Rin as she almost couldn't believe her father made such a sign of his return to them with such intense power that to her only a god could possess.

"Yes Rin it was Inuyasha. Your father is an incredible being worthy of being called that of a demon if I ever saw one. You should be proud to be called his daughter," said a now smiling Sesshomorru though he was saddened by the fact that he couldn't be Rin's father if only by decree.

Rin seeing him like this saddened her slightly as well as she once thought of Sesshomorru as her father. Now she felt as if he were the big silent yet serious uncle she had known for most of her natural life. "If you want could I call you uncle Sesshomorru?" said Rin in an honest gesture of love to her full blooded demon uncle.

Sesshomorru looked at her and smiled a genuine smile that she had only seen on a rare occasions when she had made him happy in the past. "Yes Rin you may, as that would be our relationship within this...somewhat strange family," said Sesshomorru as he had then received a massive hug from her indicating she was happy he approved.

What surprised him next was another set of hugs on his other leg and after looking down to finding the source he discovered it was Naraku's incarnation Kanna and the little Fox Demon Shippo who were happy they could consider him their uncle. "Thanks you uncle Sesshomorru," said Kanna as she stared up into his eyes with her doll like ones except they looked more real with emotions then they had before.

"Yeah uncle Sesshomorru next to Inuyasha you're the best!" said Shippo punching the air above him with his fist as he spoke.

"Don't have him say that or he'll wail on you again and this time that rosary isn't on his neck to stop him from doing so," said Sango as she, Kilala, Kikyo, and Voodoo came up to them and laugh after hearing Shippo squeak in horror at such a thing running around in a slight panic.

"Never before have I felt such fury from Inuyasha before with his predecessor though I always tried to stay on his good side," said Voodoo seeing the bloody rain slowly seeping into the earth with the storm clouds still as ark as ever rumbling red thunder every once in a while.

"Inuyashas told me he was alive before today," said Kikyo out of nowhere now shocking everyone who had just heard this.

"Why?" said Sango curiously silently hoping that the feeling that two had as lovers didn't resurface again as she love Inuyasha too though of course Sango was sure that she would have to take a number when it came to that.

"Because he came to me in my dream and knew I was suffering from the loss and what he had done for me. I wished to see him again even only in a dream and he came to me because he knew it would be one of the first signs of his return. Do not hate him Sango as he we still have a connection to each other after all this time and yours with him is still developing," said Kikyo seeing as well as sensing the girls slight annoyance and jealousy to the situation.

"All right. I guess it can't be helped as Inuyasha will be Inuyasha regardless of what he does and I can't hate him or you for it," said Sango in defeat of the situation.

(Back with Kane and Kohaku)

Kane was to say the least impressed with the boy's skills as they were truly higher then any normal human with demon slaying skills should possess when facing a demon such as himself. The boy had acquired some significant injuries like cuts and bruises, but still nothing too serious, which Kane was slightly surprised as he would have assumed the boy would be skewered like a pig by now. "Not bad boy you got some skill, but that alone won't help you as your still too weak in the muscle department to overpower me when our weapons meet," said Kane as shoved the kid back into a tree making the little demon slaying enslaved boy fall to his knees in pain though it was numbed by the sacred jewel shard in his back.

"That maybe true, but strength is not everything when it comes to battle," said Kohaku trying to get up from the getting up from the ground, but his wounds were denying him the chance to.

"True! However, right now strength his everything and you have none of it," said Kane as he was now walking up to Kohaku.

"You can't kill me as I'm already dead," said Kohaku in his still mindless looking voice as it portrayed no fear in him.

"True again. However, if what you say is true then all I have to do is remove the sacred jewel or possibly jewels from your body. Then I can just add it with the others as I just consider this as my payment for this very satisfying fight. Goodbye Kohaku," said Kane as he was less then a few feet away from the boy ready to strike down with his double bladed sword upon the weakened boy.

Kane never got their as a red lightning bolt struck the ground in the gap between Kohaku and Kane with enough impact to send Kane back at least 10 feet while it knocked Kohaku unconscious. "What the HELL? Can't a demon mercenary get now and then? Okay dead man you want to fight? Okay lets fight because you know what? I AM NOT AFRAID OF YOU!" said Kane scream the last part out in anger to no one in particular as he looked up at the storm clouds that seemed to be getting angrier by the second.

Just then the earth beneath him shook while a shield of red fire surrounded Kohaku like a barrier to protect the boy. The earth continued to shake harshly as something appeared before them that he though he would never see. It was then a rectangular wooden coffin that was painted black that looked like it was hand crafted with the finest wood appeared and was now partly covered in dirt while on a mound of dirt several feet up. When the earth finally stopped shaking moments later another red lightning bolt from the clouds above came out of nowhere and then struck the coffin with such a force that the coffin exploded on all four sides temporarily blinding Kane. When Kane got his vision back moments later he wished he was blind as what he saw scared him to no end. Rising from the coffin upper body on up was the silver haired, blood tattooed, and demon blood filled Inuyasha looking like he had just risen from the dead. After Inuyasha sat straight up he then turned his head to Kane and gave the demon mercenary a psychotic smile as his eyes glowed red with incredible power. "KANE! WELCOME...TO HELL!" yelled Inuyasha his voice creating a massive echo as the storm suddenly escalated greatly as a massive red lightning filled tornado of a barrier wreathed in flame surrounded the two warriors in what seemed like an arena from hell.

"You don't scare me. YOU'RE...DEAD! YOU...THE...SILVER...FANGED...PHENOM IS...NO...MORE!" yelled Kane as he called upon some of his druid powers and then sent waves of fire covered chains at Inuyasha that the said half-demon destroyed with a quick slash of his Tetsuigia.

"Is that the best effort you can put together?" said Inuyasha unimpressed with Kane's powers and skills in the ways of a druid.

Despite his fight with the mindless slave of a boy that was Naraku's servant Kane was far from weakened in any way by that little encounter. The fact that this...thing! If it could be called that was taunting him was seriously pissing him off. "You want to see power? Let me show you!" said Kane as he used his druid skills to show his mastery of mixing fire, of metal, and of flesh as his entire double bladed sword was covered in the fire along with his one hand followed by the other as he spun his sword around in an offensive manner like he was a man possessed.

Inuyasha paired every single swipe, slash, thrust, and all such assaults on his body by Kane with so much of flick, movement, or grace of his wrist. "If that's all you can do then in my league," said Inuyasha as he raised his mighty sword Tetsuigia back behind his head, while his left hand was out in front ready, the sword itself glowed red as demonic energy, and electric discharge came out of the blade as Inuyasha got ready to perform the right handed thrust secret technique his ancestor left for him to learn after the merger.

"Remember my words carefully Inuyasha as the Infamous Soul Body Destroyer Sword Thrust Secret Forbidden Technique is very dangerous to perform. A technique that is so devastating it could kill you even faster then it could your enemy if you do not perform this correctly. Channel most of if not all your demonic power into your sword. When this attack connects with your opponent you automatically send the demonic energy into the enemies body with such force it causes the enemy's soul to explode first followed by the body second. Should you miss and you better NOT...a backlash effect occurs within your body causing each one of your organs to explode one by one till your heart and brain exploded as one at the very end. That is why it s a secret and yet is also a forbidden sword technique all in one as there is no room for error in using this technique. Enough said," said the echoed voice of Inuyasha's ancient 1200 year old self.

"YOU KNOW NOTHING!" yelled Kane as he charged full speed less then 3 feet away from Inuyasha who stood his ground against Kane's wild assault.

"I know your about to die!" said Inuyasha in deadly whisper as he performed the deadly sword technique when Kane was in range of it.

"SAY'S YOU!" yelled Kane full of rage like a rabid animal out of its cage.

"INFAMOUS SOUL BODY DESTROYER SWORD THRUST SECRET FORBIDDEN TECHNIQUE!" yelled a very demonically empowered Inuyasha as he thrust his sword forward with everything he had piercing right through Kane's skull dividing his spinal column in the process.

Kane couldn't believe it as he felt the pain his body went through as the Tetsuigia pierced his skull. After that moment in time everything seemed to stop all around Kane as he felt something within himself explode...very painfully. It wasn't the pain from his skull that went through to his spinal column as he already was feeling it, but this was different. The explosion within him wasn't physical and then when he stared into Inuyasha's pair of glowing dark red eyes and the psychotic smile on his face Kane came to a realization. 'He's killed my soul as well as my body. Oh crap,' thought Kane as he then felt a second pain right before an explosion occurred right before everything went black around him.

Kane had exploded causing his blood, guts, and bones to be scattered everywhere around him as Inuyasha stayed frozen like that for some time. It wasn't until he heard shifting in the earth near him as the tornado vanished that Inuyasha left the sword thrusting pose and went over to the source of the movement. Kohaku. "My my you've had a bad run in with the wrong crowd little man. What would your big sister say if she saw you like this?" said Inuyasha as he waved the fire barrier around the boy away and knelt down to him.

"Just kill me Inuyasha and get it over with," said Kohaku his glazed eyes telling Inuyasha he didn't really mean it.

"Could, would, but I won't as there is certain person who I love and trust waiting for us back in the Western Lands. If I killed you...she would most likely TRY to kill me. That and possibly yell my ears off," said Inuyasha trying to lighten the mood around the two though he decided not wait any longer as that last technique would slowly drain him for at least another 6 hours before he could possibly fight anyone as he put away Tetsuigia and decided to get to work.

"What are you going to do with me?" said Kohaku finding it hard to move his body and the jewel shard now strangely pulsing ever so slightly.

"I'm taking you to your sister now hold still," said Inuyasha as cut his left hand with his right and smeared the blood on his forehead creating a symbol with the tip of his claws.

Kohaku screamed in agony for a moment as he felt as if something was shifting inside his head and being pushed back allowing his mind to...breathe? "What did you do to me?" said Kohaku grabbing his wrist and squeezing it to a point where a normal man would have a broken if not crushed wrist.

"Simple my boy I gave you temporary freedom as the symbol I made from my drying blood pushed back Naraku's influence. Thus allowing you to think on your own without him cutting the strings that keep you alive through the jewel shard in your back. Now come on lets go see your sister she'll have a heart attack when she sees how I brought you back...nearly unscathed," said Inuyasha as he picked the boy up off his feet and ran back to the Western Lands as he didn't want to reappear from an exploding coffin anytime soon in front of his friends with Kohaku with him.

If Inuyasha did Sango most likely WOULD kill him. Of course she would have to get in line for that too as a lot of people wanted his head. However, he had every intention of taking THOSE heads first and he was going to start with the one closest to home. Namely Voodoo.

(A/N: I know what you're thinking and your wondering why Inuyasha would want to kill Voodoo. For those who know or figure it I respectfully ask that you do not tell it through your reviews as you will spoil it for everyone. If you do in fact believe that you know it send me a message on my bio page. I still want you to review just don't give away the possible idea behind the whole reason why Inuyasha wants kill Voodoo. In fact if just you read very carefully back at one of the few chapters before and of course this one, the answer will show itself. Keep up all those reviews as I love them all as I got the most reviews for that one chapter all the others. I am very sorry if I scared the hell out of all of you in my last chapter as that was not my intention. The idea for the last chapter and all came to me as I pictured how Inuyasha could come back to care of as well as intimidate them shitless. Needless to say from your reactions I went a little...overboard in my way of doing it however, I will not change that chapter for any reason and I to be honest I don't think you would want me to either.)
