Chapter 12: Hellfire VS Poison Vapors
I couldn't sleep at all that night. Nightmares filled my dreams. I kept thinking back to the kiss and what Naraku had done to Rinsei. Even though Sesshoumaru was there to comfort me through the night, I couldn't help but think, "When we do defeat Naraku. Will I take a separate route? Will I ever see Sesshoumaru again? I mean he's only helping me find Naraku and everything, but when it's all over…Will we…still love each other?" The next morning I felt movement, Sesshoumaru had awakened. I woke up with sun gleaming into my eyes. I looked around, no Sesshoumaru. Suddenly, I heard an explosion. I rushed to the sound. There, I found Naraku fighting both Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru. "Rafe, you've arrived." Naraku laughed chaotically. "Naraku. I'm the one that wishes to fight you. Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru, this is my fight." I said coldly. "This can't involve them…Rinsei is my pet, my friend, and Naraku is my brother, not theirs. I must fight him alone…" I thought. I unsheathed my dragon sword. "Rafe, must everything involve violence?" Naraku said calmly. "When you use my friend to attack others, than yes, it must involve violence!" I snapped, referring to Rinsei. "Oh, you mean Rinsei? He doesn't think you're his friend at all, just another demon prey." Naraku laughed. "Shut up!" I snarled. I felt my grip on the sword tighten from anger. "Hmph, if you really want a fight, I'll give you one." Naraku laughed again, disappearing into thin air. "Where'd he?" I looked around, no Naraku in sight. "I'd keep your eyes on your opponent, Rafe, or they'll always get you from behind!" Naraku stuck my back with something sharp. I flew through the air, until I finally hit a tree. "You play dirty!" I snapped, "But two can play at that game." "How so? You are but my mere sister, you wouldn't hurt me." Naraku teased. "That's what you think!" I summoned a powerful energy. Hell's entire wrath wrapped itself around my sword. "Crimson Steel!" I threw my sword like a boomerang. It flew swiftly; it struck its mark, Naraku. Hell's fire burned around Naraku's body, eating away at him. "Yes!" I said happily. The sword came back; I looked at the scorch marks on the ground, but found no body. Where was Naraku?
"Never give your opponent an opening, Rafe." Naraku attacked me from behind, again. "What's with the child's play, Naraku?" I asked sharply. "Good point. At least you learned one thing, Rafe. When to use your true powers when they are needed." Naraku answered. He disappeared into a dark cloud, and out of it came a giant spider demon. "Shit." I remembered. I didn't know how to turn into my demon form. "Rafe, concentrate on your Dragon magic." Sesshoumaru said. "Right." I replied. I focused deep down inside me and found that power. My body became enveloped in darkness. Wings sprouted out of my back, fangs grew out of my mouth, a tail grew out of my body, and giant claws came out of my hands. My eyes turned to dark slits colored blood red. Out of that darkness stepped my dragon demon, a Black Fire Dragon. "A Black Fire Dragon? Is that even possible?" Sesshoumaru wondered. "Naraku! Prepare to die!" I snorted. My wings flapped, I felt my body lift itself up into the air. Below me was Naraku, waiting for my attack, preparing for an aerial swoop, but that wasn't what I was planning. Yes, I planned to trick him into thinking it was an aerial swoop, but I had another trick up my sleeve. I swooped down in a powerful blow hit Naraku in his side, not his back, just what he was expecting. He tried to attack me with poison vapors, but I counter attacked. The counter attack was my black fire, hotter than Hell's fire. It ate away at Naraku's legs, then his back, and finally his head. I flew back from the burning corpse. I landed safely, but stumbled for a bit. I transformed back into my human/demon form, but fell unconscious; I guess the fight wiped me out. "She did it," Sesshoumaru said, "She beat Naraku."
