Chapter 15-Confrontations

The sound of three figures running filled the silent night of the forest as Kagome, Koga, and Miroku ran passed all different form and types of foliage to escape Inuyasha. "Run! Run my little piggish friends for the big bad dog comes to feast on your flesh," said the sadistically echoing voice of Inuyasha as he pursued them easily as they were running at such a slow pace compared to how he could run at full speed.

By this point it had been a little over an hour since the so called "chase" had started and the three former jewel shard hunters were scared out of their mind. "What do we do now Kagome?" said Miroku who was seeing Inuyasha's face with an evil look in almost every shadow of every tree they ran by.

"I guess we have to fight Inuyasha," said Kagome as turned around and readied to her bow and arrow preparing to fire at Inuyasha the first time she sees him appear.

"Well its certainly better then running that's for sure," said Koga as he and Miroku got ready with their weapons and abilities.

"My my look at this all of a sudden change in attitude. I see three little pigs, all of whom finally developed a backbone against me as a last resort. A last resort, which is used only by spineless cowards and that of spoiled bitches that don't get what they want. Well will have to fix that now won't we," said Inuyasha's voice echoing all around them laughing at them continuously.

"Shut up and fight you half-demon FREAK!" said Kagome as she fired a sacred arrow a flash appearance of Inuyasha only to hit nothing, but an innocent tree in the distance.

"Freak? Is that the only insult you can give me Kagome? And here I would have thought a spoiled little girl with your education along with some 500 years into the future lifestyle I would have learned to insult better then that? I guess we can't all be right eh Kagome? Heheheh," said Inuyasha taunting her to no end.

"Enough! Show yourself Inuyasha so we can kill you and I can get Sango out of your tainting clutches," said Miroku as he readied his staff and sacred sutras ready for a fight.

"Me? Taint Sango? My dear monk you misunderstand her affection that she has for me as it is anything, but tainted by my demon powers. She loves me my dear boy. Sango I can only imagine would probably have loved you sooner had she not been so disgusted with your ways of flirting with woman. That and what you said to her about me by saying how I am an abomination of sorts and how you preferred me to be in a slavery type service to miss bitch from the future that is to the right of you," said Inuyasha appearing in a brief afterimage only a few feet from the monk before vanishing before Miroku could react.

"How could Sango love you? You are a half-demon Inuyasha! A half-demon that never should have been born into this world," said Miroku starting to sweat heavily as he felt Inuyasha's eyes were watching him everywhere and going so far as to look into their very souls.

"She loves me for who I am and what I have become Miroku. I fight for something you preach about, but go against. When it comes to something that is not considered apart of your species you turn a blind eye when it needs your help all because you can't accept the truth that Sango loves me and not you Miroku. Even when the truth right in front of you!" said Inuyasha who at the last word appeared face to face with Miroku scowling at the now terrified monk before vanishing again in an afterimage sort of way.

"Why don't you fight instead of being all mystical phantom like you stupid bastard and fight like a true demon and not like a coward!" said Koga who got an elbow to the ribs by Miroku as he didn't really want Inuyasha to solidify in front of him and kill them all.

"So you want to fight me eh Koga? Same with you Miroku and you Kagome? Well then without a further delay...PREPARE TO GET YOUR WISH!" yelled Inuyasha in the end as he appeared right in front of Koga, smiled, and thrusted his right handed demon claw right into Koga's gut before raising it upward practically shredding Koga from the waist up.

"KOGA!" said screamed Kagome as she was shocked and in tears that her love was gone from her life.

Turning her bow and arrow to hit Inuyasha Kagome fired her weapon at the half-demon, but the in an instant Inuyasha was out of sight before the sacred arrow could even connect with Inuyasha. "Kagome I'm surprised that you missed me. Don't tell me you've gotten soft?" said Inuyasha whispering in her ear making her pale a new shade of white as she felt Inuyasha demon breath raining down her shoulder.

"Leave Kagome alone!" said Miroku channeling holy energy into his staff and sending it at Inuyasha who with a simple gesture of raising his hand blocked the attack as if it were nothing.

"Is that the best effort you can put together Miroku? I would have thought a monk trained by that old fart of drunk that raised YOUR father would show a little more promise. I'm very disappointed in you as I had such high expectations of your...spiritual gift. What a waste of a gift," said Inuyasha turning his head to face the monk who was more then just shocked beyond belief.

Kagome saw her moment to escape Inuyasha's close proximity and readied another arrow into her bow, but before she could do anything Inuyasha was gone from her and Miroku's sight once more. "Where did he go?" said Kagome as she and Miroku looked around and then they noticed the area around them was getting dark.

"What's going on?" said Miroku as he suddenly had a bad feeling about all of this as it was bad enough that they couldn't kill Inuyasha now, but when it got unimaginably darker it would be impossible now.

"You're not afraid dark...are you?" whispered Inuyasha's creepy, dark, and echoing voice as he was now practically invisible to the two.

"Where are you Inuyasha?" said a now scared Miroku as he randomly threw sutras in nearly every single direction around himself and Kagome trying to hit something if not anything of Inuyasha's.

A moment later Miroku felt something sharp go through his back and out of his chest and to his horror he realized that Inuyasha a embedded his Tetsuigia into his body while the half-demon's free hand was around the monks throat. "I'm right behind you...old friend," said Inuyasha tearing out Miroku's throat and removing Tetsuigia from Miroku's body.

When Kagome had heard the sound of pierced flesh and a silent unrecognizable whisper not far off she knew something was wrong. When she turned to the sound of the whisper and the sound of pierced flesh the dark forest got slightly lighter allowing her to see a now dead Miroku wit ha hole in his chest the side of a bowling ball and his throat wide open leaving no form of organ that was the throat intact leaving only the spinal column and tissue of the neck remaining. "Mir...Miroku," said Kagome as she was now shaking and her weapons forgotten as they unconsciously left her hands.

"What's wrong Kagome? I thought you would be used to this by now? After all...you were the one that tried to kill me to begin with so what's blood between enemies. You tried to kill those important to me back in my previous dwellings so now I get to kill yours...right out in the open," said Inuyasha as he was now behind Kagome who was now on her knees crying as those who were her friends as well as one of them being a mate were now taken to another plain of existence.

"Th-this...THIS ISN'T FAIR!" said Kagome as she cried and dug up some grass covered dirt with her hands as she dug them into the ground.

"To whom is it not fair to Kagome? You? Please you don't deserve to get what you want and you never did. The world does not have to cater to your every whim and need when you feel it should. I have loved you, cared for you, and tried to be noble for you. But the only thing you thought of me as was YOUR OWN PERSONAL HALF-DEMON PET!" said Inuyasha yelling at the end of his sentence.

"Inuyasha...I'm...I'm so sorry. I'm sorry forgive please!" said Kagome turning to slightly in her position to see Inuyasha in front of her as tears left her eyes.

"No. I will not accept such apologies from you any longer Kagome. Every breath that you take is an insult to me, my family, and my honor," said Inuyasha picking her up by her throat raising her slightly higher above his head.

"No...! Inuyasha...st...stop," said Kagome as she for the first time in a long time realized she had made a grave mistake in being mean to Inuyasha and choosing Koga over him.

"If only you hadn't tried to be a bitch to me all this time I would have almost felt sorry for you. Oh well. DIE!" said Inuyasha as he cut off her legs first, followed by her middle waist area second, and half of her head before snapping her neck and removing it along with the spine from her body.

(A/N: Gross huh?)

After doing all of that Inuyasha was soon able to find three sacred jewel shards within the remains of Kagome's bloody and rotten corpse. Not long after that Inuyasha went over to Koga's body and took out the two jewel shard one for each leg the wolf had. 'Heheheheh. That was easy. Now to get back to the others to tell them the news,' thought Inuyasha as he pocketed to jewel shards and headed back home.

(Hours Later)

When Inuyasha arrived at the castle he was struck with horror at the site in front him as there were signs of a recent battle if all the bodies and blood were any indication to what he saw. "Dad...daddy," said a voice not far from him.

Inuyasha turned to see a wounded Rin with some cuts and scrapes over her arms, legs, and some parts of her face. All of which would heal and be unnoticeable given the proper healing treatment to for such a thing as some wounds more damaging then others. "Rin! What happened?" said Inuyasha cradling his adopted daughter in his arms and comforting her as best he could.

"Oh father it was horrible that evil being Naraku attack with a swarm of demons under his command and attacked us when we least expected it. Sesshomorru had just removed the sacred jewel shard from Kohaku and Kanna returned with Kaede at the behest of the old priestess to assist in restoring him back to full health when it all happened and he took Kanna, Sesshomorru, Shippo, Kagura, Kikyo, Kilala, and Sango as his captives. He left me here like this so I could tell you what happened and that you should bring the jewel shards you got from the others as well. I tried to help Inuyasha even though I got Kaede to safety I failed you by not protecting the others. I'm sorry," said Rin as she was now crying sting one of the lighter cuts across her left cheek as a slightly limping Kaede approached them.

"There is nothing to be forgive Rin you did what you had to do. I'll take care of you first and then Naraku next okay?" said Inuyasha as the news from Rin was any indication then that meant he had Kohaku's shard as well meaning the jewel would soon be complete if the one's he had were ever put with the rest of it.

"Okay...da...daddy," said Rin in a tired voice as she soon fell asleep in her father's arms as he took into the slightly battered castle to try and find a decent room to place her in with Kaede right behind him.

"She sure is a precious thing to hold onto isn't she Inuyasha," said Kaede as it was more of a statement then a question.

"Yes she is. Come inside and I will have one my maids assist you in tending to her while the others tend to the dead outside," said Inuyasha as he found the room he was looking for and opened it for her to enter.

"Of course Lord Inuyasha," said Kaede bowing in form of respect as she entered the room with him right behind her.

(Naraku's Castle)

Sango struggled to open her eyes as she was hurting all over as she carefully moved her aching body from Naraku's assault that she had seen and experienced first hand from the monster. "My head! It hurts so much," said Sango in a mumbled voice as she was finally able to look at her surroundings despite the blurred vision she was experiencing.

"Well the final member of this little group is finally awake. I'm so pleased," said a dark and sinister voice that Sango knew could only come from Naraku.

"YOU! I get you bastard for what you put Inuyasha, me, and the others through for your own twisted desires for the jewel," said Sango as she struggled with her bonds around her wrists, ankles, and collar around her neck as she stared at the being wearing a white and furry looking baboon fur with pelt.

"Naraku? Oh you mean my loyal puppet well I'm sorry to disappoint you my dear, but Naraku is dead and his master has taken over his body despite the sacred jewel being incomplete," said the form in Naraku's clothing laughing at her shocked surprise as well as the others who Sango saw were bound like she was.

"If you're not Naraku then who are you?" said Kagura though she was fearful for her life she would prefer to die with answers then unanswered questions.

"Don't you and Kanna know? Didn't it always seem strange that he would be talking out loud even though he was alone in the room or if you were in it he wasn't talking to you? In truth he was talking to me as the more of the jewel he collect the more m presence of life existed as well within him as he is the key to my existence in this world," said the fake Naraku voice of a form in front of them.

"What are you exactly?" said Kikyo as she was now sensing an evil like no other that made Naraku look weak in comparison to this new threat before them.

"You really want to know? Didn't Inuyasha's telling of prophecy tell you anything about me and him and how we are connected to each other? Idiots! You may address me by the name of Saito...and as for Inuyasha? Well he is my TWIN brother!" said Saito shocking everyone even further then before.

"So that's what the prophecy meant. Inuyasha wasn't going to fight me, but you! You are his reincarnated twin brother," said Sesshomorru as he remembered as Inuyasha's voice had spoken those echoing words before.

"Give the dog a bone as a prize for receiving the correct answer," said Saito who heard Sesshomorru growl at those words as they insulted his pride to no end.

"Why are you doing this to your own brother?" said Sango as she couldn't believe that a person human or demon would hurt his own family like this just for power.

"My brother? MY BROTHER? You want to know WHY I am doing what I am doing you foolish speck of human flesh? I'll tell you why. You see some 1200 years back me and the Silver Fanged Phenom known as Inuyasha were as like most brothers...close. We watched each others back and protected each other with our own lives and trusted no one, but our demon blooded families. However, that all changed one day when my brother fell in love with a human woman who had the powers of foresight and foreseeing the future," said Saito pausing at this moment to let this all sink into their heads.

"So it was over woman and she drove you away from him and the bond you two had as brothers?" said Shippo who was still too young to understand as Saito started pacing back and forth.

"You don't understand little fox as me and my brother shared a common bond just as deep as that of our demon blood that made us brothers. WE WERE MONSTERS! TRUE DEMONIC MONSTERS! We were cold, ruthless, and we were remorseless in every type of battle we fought. However, when my brother met that woman and she integrated her life into ours he had committed the most unpardonable of all SINS! You know what they were?" said Saito clearly angry about the past as he clearly remembered as it had just been yesterday.

"There is no sin for loving someone no matter whom or what they are," said Sango as she was proud to love this Inuyasha and not the one 1200 years ago.

"WRONG! It is because of her that Inuyasha betrayed HIMSELF! He...became...one of the enemy that all humans are to us demons. You humans go out to kill us with your monks, priests, priestesses, and of course your...demon slayers!" said Saito looking right into her eyes when he said demon slayers.

"What does that have to do with anything you stupid bastard?" said Sango who felt afraid yet refused to be intimidated by this new form a to her it was the true form of Naraku.

"IT HAS EVERTHNG TO DO WITH IT! You don't get it do you? It was because of her that this man named Inuyasha was not my brother anymore. It was because of her that he was no longer a terrifying demonic monster as he should have been. My so called brother was NOTHING, BUT A FRAUD! So I did the only logical thing and secretly made my decision...and poisoned their food the night before our last battle together," said Saito smiling for once under the baboon head as he remembered what he did.

"No!" said Kikyo as she could believe the treachery behind such a being who would go so far as to kill his brother because of such a woman and the love the two felt for each other.

"Unfortunately, the stupid fool killed me as well on the battlefield due to the little fact that his human lover secretly told him what she saw with her powers right before he went off with me to kill more of our enemies. My body was left to rot on the battlefield that would be used later by the powerful priestess who created the sacred jewel of four souls in the beginning. The very same sacred jewel that started your little adventures together in putting them all together," said Saito hoping the information given to them would be everything together.

"You mean you're..." said Shippo who couldn't believe what he was hearing though it was finally hitting him like one of Inuyasha's demon strength enhanced fists.

"Yes Shippo I was the dark demon that was fighting that priestess who made the sacred jewel while inside of it. You see after I died my spirit refused to rest in peace and instead of waiting for the ever impossible half-demon loop hole to live again in a new, but weak half-demon body I decided a new approach. So when sacred jewel was formed I entered it and became the dominant spirit in half of the jewel and when tainted by darkness I was in complete control of the jewel's ever tainting aura," said Saito smiling at them all with his seemingly soulless eyes.

"Do you have any idea what you have just done?" said Sesshomorru who despite is and the others current situation smirked if made a small smile a Saito.

"You're a smart demon Sesshomorru why don't you tell me and the rest of these fools around you," said Saito still grinning at Sesshomorru though it slightly decreased due to Sesshomorru keeping his smirk on his face.

"You've brought the wraith, fury, and vengeance of your older twin brother down upon you Saito. When Inuyasha gets here he will crush, break, and destroy everything that makes you...you. He will stare into your eyes as you look up to beg for mercy and he will crush your skull to power with his foot when he rams it into you...HARD!" said a now grinning Sesshomorru who suddenly surprised everyone by letting out a small chuckle that turned into a laugh that the former Lord of the Western Lands had never produced before.

"We will see Sesshomorru. Inuyasha has the remaining jewel shards needed to make the sacred jewel whole. If I know Inuyasha like I think I do he will give me those remaining jewel shards to complete the jewel so he can fight me at full strength. After all our motto was...'If we go down...we go down swinging...at the peak of our power' and I would do the same for him if I were him," said Saito seemingly lost in thought for a moment.

(Castle of the Western Lands-At that moment)

At that moment soldiers, maids, and druids were cleaning up everything from broken pieces of wood to that of broken bodies. Inuyasha was currently with Kaede tending to Rin and the old priestess who only needed a quick once over by one of the druids to fix the limp in the old woman's leg after Rin was healed and put to bed to sleep. "She's a strong one," said Inuyasha moving some of Rin's hair back from her forehead as the little girl slept in front of him.

"She gets it from her father's side of the family," said Kaede who liked this gentle side of Inuyasha as he was being kind and considerate to another being and was not ashamed of it.

"True Kaede, but she gets her beauty like Kanna from her mother's side of the family and I couldn't be happier about that," said Inuyasha as he kissed Rin on the forehead before having Kaede follow him out of the room so they could talk without waking Rin up.

"Inuyasha before we were interrupted by the druid you wanted to ask me a question about the sacred jewel concerning the wish made by it," said Kaede as they walked down the corridor to the outside courtyard that was being fixed.

"Yes Kaede. I wish as well as want to know (sighs)...can the sacred jewel grant more then one wish in a single moment if the first wish coincides with the first?" said Inuyasha in a calm voice though one would imagine that deep inside Inuyasha was afraid of the answer.

Kaede was shocked at such a question, but nevertheless she had an answer to Inuyasha's question and she didn't want to keep him waiting for it. "Yes Inuyasha. The sacred jewel can grant you what you ask. But why?" said Kaede curious as to Inuyasha's curiosity of the jewel's wishing power.

"It was just a thought Kaede nothing more. Now if you'll excuse me I have to go see my younger twin Saito and kick his ass all the way to hell for what he has put me through. That includes for what his puppet Naraku as well as himself have done to me and the others," said Inuyasha whose silently calm voice went from calm, to happy, and then to deadly serious as the storm outside as picking up greatly outside once more.

"I see. Well I will delay ye no more Inuyasha. Make me proud...my special little boy," said Kaede as she went up to Inuyasha and kissed him on the forehead and patted his cheek like that only a parent would and could as Serenity appeared behind her master.

"I shall Kaede. Watch over Rin for me Serenity as she is, but one of two of children of the new generation that must be protected at all cost," said Inuyasha who received a bow from his loyal Head Maid as left in the very storm he was generating with his own rage.

The confrontation was about to begin.

(A/N: Sorry this took so long for those who wanted a new chapter. I heard your pleas for a new chapter and I would be cruel and be damned if I didn't grant you one. Also I was wondering the creator of Inuyasha did she stop making the Manga? If she did I'll be pissed as he will forever be bound to that stupid bitch that is Kagome. Frankly I don't know why the creator of Inuyasha doesn't have the necklace removed from his body by now. I mean I know, you know, and by now the creator knows (whose name I don't know) that Inuyasha should be freed from that accursed rosary. I mean she (yes the creator is a she for those who didn't know) is being a tad unfair here. Anyway I felt I needed to get that off my chest as it was bothering me for some time. Also the reason I didn't update as soon as I should have was I was delayed in my other...affairs that I will (according to my lawyer. HA!) not mention. Were coming down to the wire here ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, (oh wait that the circus) and all you other reader and reviewers out their. Review what you think I need insight and inspiration as I've been running out of music, soda, and candy to write what my mind is telling me. Also for those who want a sequel to my TT: ROTSK story I'm sorry I can't make the sequel due to seeing the finale of JL: Unlimited with the end of Legion and Lex Luthor. Sorry. If Lex had survived then it would be a different story, but fate can be cruel. I'll get to work on the next and possibly last chapter (not sure) ASAP! However, knowing my luck I'll be delayed...again! Don't lose faith. Those who stop writing their stories are the worst writers out their (unless they give me good reviews then I praise them. HA! You guys rock!)
