I was so freakin' annoyed by my brain. I was laid back for about an hour with a pencil balancing on my nose(Why? Dunno.), thinkin' 'How the hell are they gonna defeat Syfence?' Then it came to me in a dream. Ok so I was daydreaming. What's wrong with that? Anyway, I snapped my fingers and said, "I got it! Their gonna defeat Syfence by ------- -BEEEEEEEEEEEP------ WHAT THE--- BEEEP------- WHAT IS TH-----ZAAAAAPPP---- OW! CRASH-------BEEEP----BANG---- Ok, -pant- I fixed it -wheeze- Ow... Stupid thing almost electrified me. Kay. -pant- Please read and review the following chapter of Who are you?

On the last chapter of Who are you:
His heart filled up with hate for the enemy that was smirking at his helpless state. Everyone he cared about, they were either dead, or going to be.
Kagome was moving. He looked at her hopefully. It was only the roots that came to capture her. "What? No!" Inuyasha exclaimed, holding her tighter.
The roots took Inuyasha by the arms and dragged Kagome's limp body over to Syfence. Inuyasha glared at her. Syfence only laughed.
Chapter seven: Why the hell won't she die?
Syfence laughed. As small a laugh as it was, it still rang through the air and Inuyasha was seething with anger. Kagome was laid on her side, not bound for she was believed to be dead. Syfence walked towards the outraged Inuyasha.
Kei was laying on her side, staring into the trees. The wounds in her hands stung painfully. She replayed everything she had seen of Syfence.
"You remember, don't you? Yes, such a shame she dies with her hatred of you." Syfence said, her voice still ever so soft, playing with the pink stone of the pendulum in her hands.
Syfence was still on all fours. With her powers slightly diminished, her hood was down and everyone could see her. She had brown hair that flowed down in waves.
She held her hands out and, somehow, grabbed the vortex of the Wind Scar and guided it towards a particular hut...
'Wait a minute! She- she grabbed it.' Kei looked down as far as the branches let her at the gashes on her hands. 'That isn't possible for a human, even a hypnotist, to do that. If my barrier cannot contain it, then--' Kei's eyes scanned the trees. 'It is not possible-- a sword of that stature--, she has got to be!' Kei lifted her head, only to have it brought down again because of the bindings on her body. Something glinted on a tree. Kei stopped moving. She even stopped breathing for the moment.
Inuyasha was outraged. "You can't!" He yelled, doing the wind scar again. Syfence slapped it away and Inuyasha had to leap out of the way to avoid his attack heading towards him. He gathered himself and did The Wind Scar again. Syfence flicked it away like it was a bug and another hut to the side of her exploded. She walked closer to him. She was within normal talking distance now.
Inuyasha drew back and struck her from the side. She caught the blade with her hand that held the pendulum. "You act like I am Naraku or Sesshomaru." She whispered. "I cannot be defeated."
"YOUR HUMAN AREN'T YOU?" Inuyasha yelled. He pulled back and struck again. And once again she stopped it.
"Would a human be superior to you?" She said in his ear. "A human has emotion. A human does not have the power I have." Her voice sent shivers down his back. Her voice alone seemed to weaken him. In one swift shot, she put two fingers to his eyes. Not poking them, just in front of him.
Inuyasha's pupils widened, but then grew small. Memories surged through his mind. Memories that didn't happen. Memories that did happen. They all went through him.
Inuyasha when he was about 5. The adults bullied him and the kids teased him and their parents encouraged them.
Inuyasha when his mother died. Him weeping but there was nothing he could do about it. Izayoi's limp hand in his. Him being pushed away from it, saying he was the one who killed her.
Kikyo shooting arrows at him. They didn't hit him but he was still betrayed. He went and stole the Shikon jewel.
Kikyo finally pinning him to the tree.
Kikyo finally dying.
Kagome, dead as well. Her eyes empty and her body broken.
Kaede, also dead. Syfence laughing her cruel laugh as he lost everyone that ever cared about him, or he cared about them.
'Just end it already.' He whimpered in his mind.
Syfence's cruel laugh rang through him and his mind.
'Just kill me.'
Fire
raged throughout the ruin of the village. Everyone was dead or dying, suffering so much.
'Then I'll be able to be with Kagome again.'
"Inu... Yasha... Sy--Syfence..." Kei tried to speak. Every time she tried a syllable, or even made any sort of sound, the tree roots tightened. She was having a hard time breathing.
Inuyasha was still seeing memories and fears.
His mother hanging limply on a rope tied to her neck.
Everyone laughing at him. Not for what he has done, what he is.
His brother Sesshomaru, with the same emotionless face he always has, held Tetsusaiga and in turn, slaughtered everyone.
Miroku... through the heart.
Sango... head chopped right off.
Kagome... disemboweled, then blown apart.
But through that memory, he saw Syfence's face in the distance. 'Wh- why do you torture me...' he thought weakly.
Syfence felt a presence and moved her hand with the pendulum, breaking Inuyasha's trance. An arrow flew by. Should Syfence's hand have stayed there, the pendulum would have shattered.
"Darn, I missed." Kagome said aloud.
Inuyasha's face was covered in sweat and he was breathing hard. He was trying really hard not to black out.
"You should be dead girl." Syfence growled.
"I'm not dead yet. And you are not killing this demon while I'm here." Kagome shouted, pulling out another arrow and aiming it at Syfence.
"You can't really be trying to kill me. Not when I distinctly helped you with your problem." Syfence said coolly.
"What problem!" Kagome shouted.
Kei's body couldn't move. She could barely breathe. 'That's not Syfence. She's hiding out in the trees. It-its only a puppet. It's fu-fueling its en-ergy-- from the pendulum. It's invincible. Please, please kill the real one. You cannot defeat the puppet.' But she couldn't possibly tell Inuyasha that. Her heart fluttered about weakly, trying to keep the body alive. There wasn't enough air going through.
Miki struggled as well. She used her powers and her hands that were covered with roots shone. The roots splintered and new roots covered them. Miki groaned and tried to pull them out with no prevail.
Shippo saw that Kagome was alive. His heart filled with relief and he used the heart scar(for those who don't know, it's in the episode Shippo's new technique; the Heart Scar. It's when Shippo uses his fangs to pierces his enemy's flesh. I don't know how, but it uses the same technique that Inuyasha's Wind Scar does. Go figure. Anyway,) He sunk his teeth into the root and when it let go, the holes from which his teeth formed let out some sort of weird pressure thing(much like when a hot air balloon is loosing air) that made it loose its power and Shippo's fox fire released him. He looked at his state of freedom proudly.
Miki, seeing this, tried it herself, but she couldn't bite it hard enough.
"Kag-Kagome?" Inuyasha asked weakly.
"You can't have helped me with my problem, you've created so many others!" Kagome shouted and fired her arrow. A glow formed around her arrow and the sacred arrow shot towards Syfence's heart.
"A sacred arrow?" Syfence thought, but did not move. A small smile appeared on her lips. "Perfect." And the arrow struck her chest and she slumped forward a little.
"Yes!" Kagome thought proudly to herself.
"No..." Kei thought.
Syfence stood up straight, laughing her cruel laugh. The arrow still stuck to her. She broke half off it off, leaving the point still in her. She pointed her palm at Kagome and the point shot out at full force at Kagome.
"No, Kagome!" Inuyasha shouted and lunged to block the attack. He was too late as it zoomed past him. Kagome screamed as it came dangerously close to her.
There was the sound of an arrow hitting someone and Kagome flinched. No searing pain went over her. She opened one eye and saw Shippo. That cursed arrow point in his back. His eyes were closed and he was crying. A single drop of blood hit the ground and Shippo soon after.
"Shippo! You-- why!" Kagome cried, holding Shippo.
"I didn't want you to s-suffer. S-save them, they need help..." Shippo said weakly. Kagome's tears dripped down into his red hair.
"Don't die." Kagome whispered and put him in a safe place. How matter how much grief she was going through right now, she had to act fast before more people died.
"The foolish fox brat!" Syfence said.
"I've had enough of your torture, bitch!" Inuyasha shouted behind her. Syfence gasped and before she could react, the Tetsusaiga cut her head clean off. Inuyasha smirked as the disemboweled(I don't know if thats a correct use of words but its still gory) stumps hit the ground.
'Inuyasha, that will have no effect.' Kei thought slowly. Yes she was still alive. Surprisingly. Just barely though. As well as crushing her to death, it was also sucking her of her energy. It tightened again and Kei groaned, causing it to tighten more. Kei closed her eyes and waited to die, hoping with everything she had that Inuyasha would get the real Syfence without her telling him. And without any deaths. A last breath left her and she lay there suffocating, her heart thumping slowly that panged painfully in her ears.
There was a sound of wood splintering and Kei felt fresh air in her lungs. She sat up but winced, thinking the worst, but nothing happened. She took a deep breath with relief, and coughed when it filled her shrunken lungs.
She looked up at Kagome who was killing the roots with her sacred arrows, grinding the point into the roots making them wither and steam. Tears were still falling. "Oh yes, were is the fox child?" Kei asked. Kagome stopped what she was doing and looked at her hopefully with watery eyes.
"Yes. Go save my sister." Kei said, and darted off in the direction Shippo was laid, taking his last few breaths.
"Ha, not gonna hurt anymore people are ya, witch?" Inuyasha said, smirking at Syfence's dead form.
The whole thing quivered, then exploded. Inuyasha was thrown backwards. "What the hell!"
Syfence's dreaded laugh erupted into the air. "You think I can be defeated, half-demon?"
"What?" Inuyasha cried out in disbelief.
The smoke cleared and Syfence's very alive form came to. Syfence lifted the pendulum once again and Inuyasha felt a familiar tingling in his arms. They were reaching for his sword. Inuyasha, who was caught by surprise there, and quickly had his sword to his neck.
"No one to save you now, is there?" Syfence mused.
"Damn you... wench." Inuyasha growled slowly, struggling to not kill himself. (There isn't a word in that sentence/phrase that made any sense.)
Syfence felt another presence and turned around, loosening Inuyasha's trance again. Kei was bent over, picking up Shippo.
"Damn you, DIE!" Syfence screamed, and a bunch of roots lifted themselves out of the ground and whipped themselves forward to kill Kei. Kei jumped out of the way and the roots slammed into the ground and ricocheted off the ground at Kei. Kei continued to run and just as she was sure she was going to die, and die without saving the innocent, a spear of energy sliced through the branches and Miki appeared in front of them, twirling her spear, challenging the roots to attack her. Which they did.
"Now Kagome!" Miki called out, and Kagome pulled out from the roof of a hut. She shot two arrows that disintegrated the roots altogether. The spear in Miki's hand flickered and disappeared. She nodded at Kagome and Kagome began to get down from the roof.
Kei was breathing heavily. She looked at Shippo who had stopped breathing. She looked at her slashed hands and put her wound to Shippo's. Like Inuyasha's wound, Shippo's wound disappeared. He began to breathe again. She gave him to Kagome, who ran up. "He can only rely on his own strength right now." Kei said, bowing. Kagome cradled Shippo in her arms.
Syfence was angered when she saw this and wasn't paying any attention to Inuyasha, who recovered altogether. He put his sword away again, holding a bleeding cut in his shoulder.
Inuyasha tried to cut Syfence off from Kagome, the twins, and Shippo by slashing Syfence with his claws. A slash appeared in Syfence's cloak but no blood.
Syfence turned quickly and slashed Inuyasha across the chest with a sword. There was no sword. But there was blood and Inuyasha crumpled.
Miki gasped when she saw this and took a step forward. Kagome didn't have her memories remember, so the fresh tears that her eyes, she thought it was for Shippo.
Syfence pulled back and struck, but it clanged on a barrier. Miki slid herself in front of Inuyasha, her hands in front of her, a barrier formed to block the fatal attack. Miki let the barrier disappear then she sliced her hand through the air and Syfence was thrown back. Miki pulled her hand into the air and twirled it, and a shining orb of light appeared. When Syfence brought herself upright again, everyone was gone.

Heh heh. Well isn't that interesting. Everyone seems to be safe and they now have a little time to lash out their final blow against Syfence. It's not my best work, but, I like it.
Well anyway, I seriously have a problem with the title about the sequel, but I'll think about that later. But I was thinking about doing a contest or something, but then theres the "What's it about" thing or at the last minute, some guy puts in a possiblity and, ugh, that's gonna be a problem. And none of my friends are helping me on the situation... but I'll think about that later. Like, next chapter.
And for my randomness segment, I was watching the second movie of Inuyasha, and when Kaguya fires an arrow at Inuyasha and Kagome shields against it and ends up being the one who gets shot. Yeah, well, does anyone notice that if Kagome hadn't of shielded him from the arrow, all Inuyasha would have gotten was a neutering? That's all I have to say. Peace out!
