Chapter 8: Havoc
---------------Flash Back-------------------
Naraku jumped into the well, eager to find out what it was like on the other side. He was transported into the future in a matter of seconds and he climbed out to find himself in a wellhouse. He opened the door and went outside to see a house and shrines. He sensed Inu Yasha and Sesshomaru in the house along with the miko that always traveled with the half-demon. He would of attacked them, but wanted to see what kind of trouble he could stir up first. So he crept out, being careful so that Sesshomaru or Inu Yasha wouldn't catch his scent and went out into the roads, smiling to himself under his baboon pelt, looking at the strange chariots of different colors roaring down the streets when a weaponry shop caught his eye.
-------------end of flash back--------------
"So, where are we going?" Inu Yasha asked, following Kagome. Sesshomaru went behind the two of them, carrying his Tokijin. Kagome looked at Sesshomaru's and Inu Yasha's sword and sighed. No matter how many times she had said that a sword wouldn't be necessary, Sesshomaru insisted on bringing his sword and saying that he would not be ordered around by a weak mortal and Inu Yasha brought his sword along too saying that he would need it incase Sesshomaru decided to attack him while he was defensless.
"We are going to the grocery store. We're almost out of food. No wonder Mom left such a big amount", Kagome answered. She locked the door behind her and put the keys in her purse.
"Why do you need us to come with you, woman?" Sesshomaru asked coldly.
"Because I don't trust you two with the house", Kagome answered blankly.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Inu Yasha demanded, feeling insulted.
"Nothing", Kagome answered and walked a few paces ahead of Inu Yasha, and turned her head to see a girl running towards her.
"Hey, Kagome", Yuka said, who was Kagome's best friend. "Who are they?"
"They're...uh...my distant relatives", Kagome answered. "This is Sesshomaru and Inu Yasha."
"Hey", Yuka said, reaching out her hand to Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru glanced at it and raised an eyebrow.
"Sesshomaru, you're supposed to shake it", Kagome muttered.
"Feh. I am not so low to touch a human", Sesshomaru said arrogantly.
"But you're low enough to drag around that human girl with you", Inu Yasha said, snickering.
Yuka put down her hand, confused. "Aren't you human yourself?" she asked.
"I am not a pathetic human. I am a de-" Sesshomaru started, but Kagome clamped a hand on Sesshomaru's mouth, surprising him.
"Were you about to say "demon"?" Yuka asked curiously.
"He kinda lost his memory in a horrible accident. He now thinks that he is a demon", Kagome lied, angering Sesshomaru.
Inu Yasha couldn't hold it in any longer. He burst out laughing at the look of surprise, confusion and anger mixed together on his half-brother's face.
Yuka looked at Inu Yasha like he just dropped out of the moon. "Shame on you to laugh at such a horrible incident that happened to your relative."
Kagome pleaded with her eyes for Inu Yasha to stop laughing. Inu Yasha caught her look and stopped laughing immediately. Relief flooded Kagome and she took her hand off of Sesshomaru's mouth as he looked at her indignantly.
"Wench, you will pay for the humiliation you caused me", Sesshomaru said angrily.
"Uh..yeah. Okay. We'll talk about that when we get home, okay Sesshomaru?" Kagome said. "We need to get going."
"Where are you going?" Yuka asked.
"Grocery shopping. My family's out of town", Kagome answered.
"That's where I'm going. Come on, let's go together", Yuka said.
Kagome gave Sesshomaru a warning glance that said 'don't let out anything that wouldn't sound normal'. Sesshomaru glared back at her, but didn't say anything the rest of the way as Kagome and Yuka were talking about new kind of dress. Not before long, they reached a place where people were crowded around. Kagome heard some laughter that sounded very familiar.
"That's Naraku's scent!" Inu Yasha yelled.
"What? Who's Naraku?" Yuka asked. "What's going on?"
"Naraku is the worst thing mother nature could of kept alive", Kagome answered.
Sesshomaru took out his Tokijin, making Yuka stare at it. "The moron is not getting away this time", he said emotionlessly.
"Please don't make a scene", Kagome muttered as she made her way into the crowd along with Sesshomaru and Inu Yasha. The scene before her horrified her. Naraku was holding a sword to the neck of a woman beside the dead body of a shopowner, laughing evilly.
"Naraku!" Inu Yasha shouted, jumping in front of him and taking out Tetsusaiga that instantly transformed into a fang as Sesshomaru came up beside Inu Yasha.
"Well, well. If it isn't Inu Yasha and the great Sesshomaru. Dressed rather oddly too", Naraku said in a mocking voice.
"Naraku, let the woman go", Kagome said, standing next to Inu Yasha.
"You know this man, Kagome?" Yuka asked from the crowd.
"Yes", Kagome said.
Inu Yasha jumped at Naraku, swinging his sword. Naraku threw the woman in the way of his Tetsusaiga, using her as his shield. Inu Yasha stopped himself in time so that he didn't hit the woman, who fell to the ground before him.
"Get out of here!" Inu Yasha yelled to her. The woman nodded and ran as far as she could into the crowd.
Sesshomaru came next, holding his Tokijin out in front of him. Naraku blocked it with his sword.
"What do I do? This is going to turn out to be a big battle", Kagome said to herself. She got an idea as she looked at the electricity wires up ahead.
"Inu Yasha, come over here", she said urgently.
"This is hardly the time to chat", Inu Yasha said, dodging a blow from Naraku's sword.
"Just come over here!" Kagome yelled.
Inu Yasha hurried over to her and said, "make it quick."
"See those wires up ahead?" she said. Inu Yasha looked up and saw the electricity wires and nodded.
"Make Naraku go underneath those wires and aim a blow at him so that he has to jump up high to dodge it so that he hits the wires", Kagome said.
"What will that do?" Inu Yasha asked.
"Just do it!"
"Get out of my way, Sesshomaru!" Inu Yasha said, pushing Sesshomaru to a side and aimed a blow at Naraku, making him edge under the electric wires.
"This is my battle, Inu Yasha", Sesshomaru said and pushed Inu Yasha.
"Sesshomaru, just let Inu Yasha battle him", Kagome said to the demon lord.
"I don't think so", Sesshomaru replied. Inu Yasha was succeeding at making Naraku edge under the wires, but Sesshomaru was making Naraku come out from under the wires with his blows. Inu Yasha stepped in front of Sesshomaru, not letting him attack and pushed Naraku by aiming blow after blow at him, making him go under the electric wires. He lifted up his sword in order to use his Wind Scar.
"Stop Inu Yasha! Don't use the Wind Scar. There are alot of people here", Kagome said.
"Then tell them to get out of here", Inu Yasha said.
"Go hide behind something!" Kagome yelled on the top of her lungs to the people who surrounded the place where the battle was taking place. The crowd went behind cars or buildings instantly. Inu Yasha brought down his sword at full force, making Naraku jump out of the way and hit the electric wires. His pelt was burnt and it fell down, leaving behind a small wooden doll.
"A golem. I should of known", Sesshomaru said. "If you would of let me battle him, it would of been done sooner."
"Yeah, right", Inu Yasha said, sheathing his Tetsusaiga.
Slowly, one person at a time came out from their hiding place, cheering for Inu Yasha and Sesshomaru. Yuka came up to Kagome with an awe struck expression on her face.
"K-Kagome, what in the world just happened?" Yuka asked, looking at the deep cut in the road made by Inu Yasha's wind scar.
In a matter of seconds, Kagome could hear police sirens in the distance and she sighed. The police always came in the last minute when everything was done. Now she was going to have to deal with news reporters and nine million ninety-nine thousand and nine questions from the police. But that was the least of her problems. Naraku was on the loose.
