Chapter 5-Inuyahsa's Inner Demon Awakens

The newly formed group led by Inuyasha walked for sometime in the day getting closer and closer to the Valley of Death completely unaware of the terrible dangers that would await them. Inuyasha for the first time in a long time was truly for the lack of a better phrase...at peace within himself. All around him he had the love of Kikyo, Sango, and surprisingly enough Kilala of all of them though he wasn't going to complain about that as he felt a connection with the fire cat demon long before this affection of love came to pass. He felt the same way for Sango too as she had gone through some pretty horrible things herself while much different then his, they were also very similar at the same time.

Especially when it came to Naraku and that freak of nature's treachery that went back as far as his relationship with him and Kikyo. What he felt for Kikyo was nothing new as he had always felt that way about her even now as she and long with the other two now right beside him. All the while the newcomer that was Rin wanted to be beside him on his left shoulder since his left hand was taken by Kilala now curled up comfortably snuggling against the mid-section of his chest, while Sango got all of his left arm, and Kikyo got the right while still allowing his hand enough room to maneuver just in case he had to draw Tetsuigia from his waist.

However, just because Inuyasha was happy on the outside as well as in didn't mean he was not worried on the inside too for his own obvious reasons concerning the ones he cared about. 'I have to be careful not to lose control of myself even in the slightest should Tetsuigia ever be lost from my hands. If my inner demon of a beast gets out I don't want to imagine the carnage he would produce that could in fact kill them. Also it would give Kagome an excuse to try and bring up the subject of possibly using another rosary to subdue from causing harm. No doubt she would use my potential demon power that is growing inside of me as a scapegoat to get me back under control. I'd rather DIE then go back to that!' thought Inuyasha as his face frowned slightly as he struggled to not let his frustration show on his face.

However, the frown did not go unnoticed by the female group around him as they saw a mental battle of inner emotions going through Inuyasha's mind as he was shifting from happy to worry to clear frustration. "Inuyasha what's wrong? Your mood is changing considerably. Are you all right?" said Sango worried that something was wrong with them being near him for long.

"Hm? No Sango I'm all right I assure you. It's just that I've been deep in thought about my new found strength and I was worried I wouldn't be able to protect all of you when you need me the most," said Inuyasha as he half lied even though he hated doing it to them as they trusted him to speak truthfully to them all.

"Okay Inuyasha, but if there is anything else let us now okay?" said Sango as she was still suspiciously with a supportive squeeze from Kikyo and an encouraging mew from Kilala of Inuyasha as they could nearly tell when he was lying though now they was only partially sure that he was, but as to what she didn't know while Rin just believed him outright as she was too young to se through Inuyasha's possible lie.

Not long after the conversation they had reached the Valley of Death and as it's named implied it was a valley filled with the form of cold unforgiving death. 'You can hear the call of the other side can't you Inuyasha? The call of dead that even now whispers to you strange things that you do not understand,' said the echo in his head from the shaman's words as he could hear the echo's of the dead call out to him even now louder then he ever thought possible making it hard to block them out like he normally did on his own.

"Rin is scared of this place Inuyasha. Rin doesn't want to be here," said Rin who was still on Inuyasha's shoulder as she buried her head into Inuyasha hair as she didn't want to see the sight before her.

Before them was a valley filled with everything that was dead from humans, demon, half-demon, tree, bushes, grass, and even the dirt and soil looked like it had some how died in this seemingly unholy place. It was filled with steep hills, jagged rocks, and clouds that were so dark you thought they could suck the life right out of you. Corpses both new and old were here meaning that this place could easily kill you if you stayed in here too long. Thus meaning the group of jewel shard hunters as well as the attachment that was newly added to it had to get the hell out of their and onto the other side before they became a permanent resident of this place. "It's okay Rin you don't have to look just try to keep your eyes closed and in my hair till we leave the valley. As for this place being scary and all you know that I will protect you no matter what," said Inuyasha soothing her with his now free arm that Sango had to let go of to get her weapon ready should they be attacked.

"Thank you Inuyasha," said Rin hugging him around the neck while still burying her face in his silver hair smiling knowing she had found someone who would she could trust to truly protect her from harm.

'Pathetic. How he caters to that human girls every whining whim. She needs a backbone not a half-demon shield of a wimp even if has grown stronger,' thought Sesshomorru all the while smirking at Inuyasha as his method of protecting Rin was by far...different.

"Seeing as my brother gave up the task of caring for awhile ago I'll just continue where he lazily left off. Only unlike him I'm going to put your well being into consideration. Something he seems to lack," said Inuyasha knowing it would upset his brother as he sensed the smirk and wanted to shove it down his face by attacking the one thing his brother hated seeing attacked...his ego.

"Jaken take AhUn away from here you are too weak to enter and I will not have my two headed dragon be killed in this place because of you," said Sesshomorru seriously as his smirk left as quickly as it came as they walked a steady pace through the valley while an obvious nervous and ashamed for being called weak Jaken took the two headed dragon that was AhUn reluctantly away from his master in the opposite direction.

Kilala on her feet fully transformed while Kikyo had her weapon ready like everyone else around her. Kagome, Sesshomorru, Miroku, and Shippo all got ready as well since they didn't want to have to be apart of this place now...or ever. They got halfway through the valley when Kagura appeared with wind swarming all around her as she had something that was between a smile and smirk on her face. "Hello everyone I see your little group has gotten bigger since I've seen you last," said Kagura as she saw their shocked faces that became more surprised by the army of demons that were behind her now ready to fight and kill for her.

"Rin stay with Kikyo as she will protect you. Hurry!" said Inuyasha in a whispery voice to the frightened girl so only she would hear it.

Rin complied as Inuyasha kneeled down slightly for Rin to jump off of him and the girl did so before running the few quick steps needed to get to undead priestess for protection. "How cute the little girl is being cared for by her half-demon father. I'm surprised that it's not Sesshomorru she's running to as he's been with her the longest. Has something about your relationship with the girl changed since we last spoke Lord Sesshomorru? Or do you truly not care for the human child like you always boast to others about when she is not around?" said Kagura her wicked smile growing eve more fowl making Inuyasha mad at both her and his brother for saying that about Rin as he saw nothing wrong with her.

'He...doesn't...want...me. Then...Lord Sesshomorru...was...going to...and...that...mean he wouldn't...really...'Rin dared not complete her thoughts as she feared her mind could not take as all respect for Sesshomorru for saving her all that time ago vanished from her innocent heart.

By now Inuyasha could take just about enough of this crap he was hearing as he walked forward slowly drawing Tetsuigia getting everyone's attention to turn on the half-demon. "I don't know what makes me angrier. The fact that YOU are here Kagura trying to kill me and the others as well at the will of that monstrous freak Naraku? Or the fact that my heartless brother has no regard for human life or any life for that matter except his own. I do know one fact however, and that is...you are not getting out of here alive seeing as this place will be your grave...like all the others here before you," said Inuyasha as wind from his Tetsuigia was starting to generate around it as well as Inuyasha and if you looked carefully you would see a demonic red covering his body line around him as if he was at the edge of something, but was being held back.

"You dare threaten me Inuyasha? (laugh's slightly) KILL HIM FIRST!" said Kagura as she had seen this strange new phenomenon and for a moment she was afraid of him as she had never seen him like this before.

"Everyone get ready, but do not go on the offensive. This fight is mine!" said Inuyasha in a noticeably darker voice as the body line of his eyes were now rimmed with a thick line of demonic red energy as he went on the offensive before anyone could protest.

When they saw Inuyasha cutting away at the demons attacking him with blinding speed and skill they decided against it. At this point Kagura was now surprised and frightened as she saw Inuyasha thrust his Tetsuigia into one of the winged demons in the gut only to knee the demon off his Tetsuigia into the air past Kagura and into several other demons that went down from the impact. 'What is going on? He never has shown this type of skill before! Wait a minute...that necklace is not on his neck anymore. Could that item that was once on his neck be the possible reason? I do remember it was suppose to hold some mystical properties in it, but to hold back his power? No that's impossible! How can a mere half-demon have that much power? Then again I really shouldn't be this surprised should I? Naraku is a half-demon after all...if only an unnatural one at that from what I've seen,' thought Kagura as she shudders as she remembers how Naraku removed weaker demons he had absorbed and kept the stronger ones in him to further strengthen his body further all the while Inuyasha was slicing his way through every single demon in front of him practically covering his body in their blood.

When it was all over Kagura found herself with her demon army staring at a now blood covered Inuyasha and his friends and loved one who were all as shocked as she was right now. "Kagura! Take a good look right now at this place. For THIS will be were you die at my blood stained hands," said Inuyasha his voice now sounding like a hungry animal now as he unleashed a Wind Scar upon her a second later, which she barely dodged as she didn't have time to negate the wind around him to prevent the creation of the Wind Scar.

However, before she even had time to contemplate what to do next she had unknowingly moved involuntary as she turned to deliver her own attack to Inuyasha. "Dance of..." said Kagura only she found that it was suddenly hard to call out her attack much less breathe as Inuyasha had used the butt end of his swords hilt and hit her hard in the throat where her wind pipe was making her fall back hitting the ground as she grabbed her throat while struggling for air.

"Sorry Kagura, but I'm no mood for a dance...unless on your grave," said Inuyasha who put a foot on her fan hand and another on her stomach...hard, which forced air out of her lungs forcing her to breath again putting her into a coughing fit.

Inuyasha then raised his sword ready strike the now scared Wind Sorceress who thought she was going to die then and their. However, something unexpected happened that had surprised everyone in the group as they watched as...Sesshomorru blocked the attack with his own sword Tokijin. "I can't allow that Inuyasha," said Sesshomorru holding his blade deadlocked with Inuyasha's Tetsuigia, but only barely as Inuyasha was now pushing back against his brother's sword with his own power.

"You would betray me for one of Naraku's servants?" said Inuyasha his anger more then clear in his demon enhanced voice as his demon fangs became more distinguished on his face.

"She could be useful if kept alive Inuyasha. You know that," said Sesshomorru who now found his sword was being pushed back more as Inuyasha broke the deadlock knocking Sesshomorru back focusing entirely on his older brother.

"And just how would she be useful to us when she betrays you, me, and the others when we no longer can help her achieve whatever it is that she desires?" said Inuyasha as he went from finishing off Kagura to attacking Sesshomorru who found Inuyasha's demonic energy accelerating dangerously higher then he would have like it to be as he fenced of sword after attack from his younger half brother.

"Inuyasha stop this is getting out of hand!" said Kikyo as she saw a surprised and slightly scared (if that was possible) Sesshomorru struggling to match Inuyasha's attacks with his own from Tokijin.

'What beast has possessed Inuyasha to wield such cruel power?' thought Kagura saw this opportunity to get up and took several steps away from the war of demon swords between the two brothers.

'Yes. I can feel his anger for him growing in his heart. It's feeding me, nourishing me, and making me more powerful the before. Soon they behold the awakening of a force they have never seen or witnessed when I show myself. However, before I show myself outside I show myself to my human side and show him who rules this body,' thought the demonic beast that was Inuyasha's demon side as he fed his demonic power outward to assist in the battle against Sesshomorru that he was watching with his glowing red eyes.

Kagome saw this as her chance to put Inuyasha in his place by taking him down long enough for Sesshomorru to kill or seriously wound Inuyasha. She carefully readied her bow and arrow aiming for that killer blow that would stop Inuyasha long enough so he falter to a point where he was open game to his enemies. What Kagome didn't count on however, was Rin looking in her direction seeing Kagome aiming her soon to be sacred arrow in their direction. Horror came to Rin's face when she realized that Inuyasha could be likely hit from the arrow and couldn't take the risk of the arrow hitting him. 'I have to protect Inuyasha', thought Rin as she left Kikyo's side before the undead priestess could do anything to stop the child.

Kagura seeing Inuyasha's back turned to face her didn't know what to do as she saw the two demons once more in deadlock. 'If I strike now I might hit Inuyasha and please both Naraku and Sesshomorru at the same time. But I could hit Sesshomorru at the same time and might end up killing him however; his other sword Tenseiga would restore him. Even if I hit and kill him as well as do the same to Inuyasha with my attack Sesshomorru will be the one who would get up from the attack,' thought Kagura as she readied her fan for the wind attack she was about to create.

"Leave Inuyasha alone!" said Rin as she ran into Kagome with all her weight knocking the girl from the future down forcing her to fire her sacred arrow early sending it out just when Kagura let lose her attack on Inuyasha.

"Dance of the Dragon," said Kagura sending her wind attack out at Inuyasha hoping to in truth make one of the two people she knew pleased with Inuyasha's death.

"Rin?" said Inuyasha turned his head at the sound of Rin's voice only to leave her sight and to leave him open to be a shoved away by a tired Sesshomorru knocking back his younger half-demon brother several steps.

Before either of the two could finish the fight they were having Kagome's sacred arrow and Kagura's Dance of the Dragon connected with each other creating an energy wave induced explosion with everyone shielding themselves or hitting the ground to protect themselves from potential harm. Unfortunately, when Inuyasha was pushed back seconds before the explosion happened he didn't have time to shield himself. Waves of energy traveling through the air hit him hard sending him flying through it as he screamed in pain as his upper clothing was now heavily ripped along with his chest and mid-region along his stomach area. The one side of his fire rat pouch like pants exposing a now bloody right leg as he landed hard on his back on jagged rocks cutting up his skin and breaking bones along the spinal cord, but not the spine directly. Inuyasha stopped rolling after several feet and was laid out on his back his eyes glazed and his Tetsuigia a little over 30 feet away from him. "Kilala...Sango...Kikyo. He...lp...help...me," said Inuyasha in hoarse voice that was barely a whisper before he fail unconscious from the pain.

Unfortunately, no one could hear his cry for help as Inuyasha had been sent over 80 feet through the air leaving a blood trail a wide as his body along the ground and now hidden behind a pile of jagged rocks. When everyone recovered from the blast everyone looked around to find that everyone was alright...except for Inuyasha who they realized was not in their current range of their eye sight. "Where is Inuyasha?" said Kikyo looking around worriedly as did Kilala, Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and Rin before Rin turned to Kagome with hate filled eyes one would never expect from such a young child.

"You mean strange lady you tried to hurt Inuyasha with that weird arrow of yours!" said Rin pointing an accusing finger at a now standing Kagome realizing she had been found out.

"Kagome did what?" said Miroku and Shippo at the same time not believing that Kagome would do something so cruel to Inuyasha, but then again after what they had experienced recently the past few days it was really no surprise.

"Kilala we have to find Inuyasha. Let's go!" said Sango as she got on Kilala's back as they took the sky looking for him finding the blood trail and seeing where it lead them to.

Kikyo realized what happened as she remembered Kagura using her attack on Inuyasha and Sesshomorru while they were fighting each other. It was then that she understood as the sacred arrow that Kagome shot was the second part to the explosion that Inuyasha was closest too and at the same time he had shielded his brother from the attack as well sparing the man he ironically was so intent on killing then and there. She aimed an arrow at Kagura without anything or anyone to impede or arrow or the accuracy of it as she had every intent to make Kagura suffer for her interference. "If you move Kagura I will make sure that Inuyasha was correct about this place being your grave," said Kikyo whose eyes blazed with an intensity that could only be matched by Inuyasha.

Sesshomorru was still surprised that Kagura had helped her in his fight against Inuyasha and though he wouldn't admit it he was grateful for her assistance, but slightly ashamed, and then angry at himself for not beating his younger half-demon brother himself. Truth be told Inuyasha would have had him beat if Rin had not distracted Inuyasha at the last moment with her movements. Movements that had resulted in the strange girl to firing her arrow that had then connected to Kagura's 'Dance of the Dragon', which had then resulted in an explosion. In Sesshomorru's mind the explosion did one of two things to Inuyasha. One: It either destroyed Inuyasha completely...or Two: sent him away from the group in a very weakened if not already dead condition. 'Oh no,' thought Sesshomorru as the horrible thought of Inuyasha without his Tetsuigia and in that condition sparking a fire that could not be put out when started.

Kagura was pleased with her results despite Kikyo's threat to even the undead priestess could fulfill the promise easily as it was a well known fact that Kikyo was high to near perfect in accuracy when it came to firing her sacred arrows. The smile that had appeared on her face when she saw Inuyasha was no longer their faded when Sesshomorru had a look of sheer dread and fear on his face that she never saw before in the demon she had so admired for his sheer calmness and calculated precision. When the Demon Lord of the Western Lands ran off to obviously find Inuyasha and the smell of blood that was the half-demons. She was more then surprised and a little if not completely worried that the very demon she loved to be around that was Sesshomorru didn't approve of her actions for interfering. 'If he gets angry for what I did he may get upset and try to kill me for it,' thought Kagura as the sudden fear of Sesshomorru killing her with Tokijin made her face pale to a new shade of white.

Kagome was in quite a predicament as Miroku had removed her bow and quiver filled with arrow from her with an angry look that said "If I wasn't a man of the cloth I would hurt you right now" on his face. Shippo was doing his best to calm and sooth an upset Rin who was in tears crying her eyes out over what she feared was the end of Inuyasha's life. "Don't worry Rin Inuyasha is a lot tougher then you think and I know he will pull come back if you believe he will. I mean he almost beat Sesshomorru and he's one of the toughest guys around," said Shippo trying to be optimistic of the whole situation.

(In Inuyasha's mind)

Inuyasha's mind was for the most part was jumbled, scrambled, and more importantly filled with unrest as he fond himself within his own mind. He felt weak, tired, and ready to fall into a deep state of unconsciousness if he wasn't their already. "God damn it all. Whoever did that is going to wish they never met me," said Inuyasha though his own mind as he got up slowly though he still felt pain even in his mind.

"You are here. At last," said an demonic voice that echoed throughout his mind all the while growling as the voice spoke.

"Who...who are you?" said Inuyasha as he felt unnerved by this as this was not what he wanted to happen to him.

"Who am I? I'm something that has always been inside of you that has been deeply repressed for long. To think you have nearly forgotten about me to such a degree you don't remember even though I remember everything you have done. And to be quite honest I'm disappointed in you for holding me back after I awoke in you the first time or all the others for that matter. You don't know how to use my power my other half. LET ME SHOW YOU!" said the voice as two huge demonic red eyes with yellowy orange pupils that made them look like they were wreathed in fire itself appeared before Inuyasha while showing his pearly white demon teeth to him before they opened up and swallowed him whole.

(Outside Inuyasha's mind)

Inuyasha's wounded and bloodied body had already pulsed for a good 3 minutes before his body began to involuntarily start moving due to what was happening on the inside. The demonic energy started coming out of him in massive flow covering his body all over in its presence. His hands moved first twitching slightly as they still suffered from pain, but with the glowing aura of demonic energy the pain was gone and his hands had suddenly grabbed the dead soil beneath him as if it was something that could give him life if he grabbed hard enough. Soon Inuyasha's body started having a spasm of sorts as he screamed out in pain getting everyone who was once near him both friend and foe to hear his pain filled voice. 'Inuyasha!' thought everyone in the valley at the same time as all rushed to the source of the scream all the while hoping Inuyasha was safe.

Well mostly all of them.

(During that moment inside Inuyasha's mind)

Inuyasha himself felt demonic energy flow all around him healing his wounds while in his mind as well as his body. However, at the same time it restrained him in the bed he was in as they made excellent restraints at the moment for his struggling body. 'Why is it the more I try to struggle the more I don't want to and just accept this?' thought Inuyasha as he finally stopped to gather what strength he could in his own mind.

It was then that he felt the presence of three small shadowy figures in the shape of little girls now beside his bed. He looked at them and they look at him back with red eyes that had no pupils in them as all he saw was pure red in them and nothing else. They had each bowed respectfully towards him before getting on their knees bowing their heads again as if they were praying for something. It was then that Inuyasha suddenly felt pain almost as soon as they started their little prayer and fire surrounds all four of them in a circle. "As I lay me down to sleep. I pray my soul is mine to keep. And to never step outside this bed. Into all the evil...now back from the dead," said the three little girls at the same time never looking up even as they finished.

At that very moment a tall shadowy black robed figure now appeared behind a pain filled Inuyasha with those same red, demonic, and fire filled eyes he had seen before. Before he had been swallowed whole by the giant demonic teeth filled mouth that had spoken to him before hand. "Are you scared?" said the demonic voice smiling at him evilly.

"No," said Inuyasha outright not wanting to be intimidated by something like he was experiencing no matter how scared he knew he was.

"Be scared," said the three girls all at once there faces raised when they spoke and their glowing red eyes burrowing into as a set of clawed hands grabbed his face sending wave after wave of demonic energy through him causing pain as well as strange enough as it was...relief.

(Outside of Inuyasha's mind)

Kilala and Sango got to Inuyasha first just in time to see Inuyasha's upper body move almost violently forward seeing his eyes open. Eyes that were now blood red, the pupils wreathed in flame, and the ever growing presence of death surrounding them. It was then that Sango and Kilala heard it as Inuyasha's body somehow started to grow. They heard the call of the dead and what they were whispering was frightening enough as it was as they nearly forgot about Inuyasha transforming that was happening before their very eyes. 'The beast is free! The demonic one is free at last. He has heard our call and I out to do with the world as he sees fit,' said the echoes in a whispery hoarse that were being spoken all around them and all around the valley making the now worried group now even more worried then before.

"What are they talking about?" said Sango out loud only to hear Kilala growl and roar while motioning with her head to look at Inuyasha who was now consumed in a demonic aura some twenty feet high and wide.

The red aura of demonic energy that now consumed his body as well as the area around him slowly levitated his body off the ground and in an instant expanded outward even further then before. By then Kikyo and the others could clearly see what was happening to Inuyasha making them gasp in horror at his transformation, which was nothing they had ever seen before. His body was getting bigger, his skin was slowly being covered in white fur coming out of his fire rat pants even though they expanded to meet his still ever growing size, his roar of pain echoed so loudly throughout the valley it shook the ground and the very sky itself. 'Inuyasha! What have you become?' thought everyone as that was the only logical question they could ask themselves as a pulse of demon power knocked them all back several feet.

Despite what has happened they continued to watch as Inuyasha kept getting bigger and bigger and bigger until he was as tall it seemed then most mountains standing on his two hind legs before letting out another massive roar. His new found power from his newly transformed body washed over the valley making everything quake under his presence going onto all fours. Inuyasha's body was completely now covered in silvery white hair with a silvery white long tail that made him look majestic in a horrifying demonic sort of way. His eyes glowed red as he opened them after closing them shut during the growing process and when he let out a demonic roar of power. He was still trying to adjust to his changed body as he looked with his new found vision at the people around him not really sure what to do at that moment as his mind felt hazy and distorted from what had just happened to him. 'My head. What's going on? I feel strange and who are these people? I think I know them, but I feel like something is off and I should be near them and the more they try to approach me the more I feel the feeling get stronger. I feel threatened in someway I...I have to leave,' thought Inuyasha as he couldn't tell who was friend and who was foe.

Rin looked at Inuyasha with worry and yet awe at the same time as he looked beautiful to her and found herself wanting to be near the mighty looking demon. To seek his out his protection from others and those who would do her harm like the wolves that had killed her or possibly that strange mean girl who tried to hurt Inuyasha recently. "Is that really you In...Inuyasha?" said Rin walking toward the great beast in front of her despite the protest of the others not sure if Inuyasha was mentally stable to allow anyone to go near him.

The said beast that was now Inuyasha was not mentally stable in fact he was quite the opposite as he let out a growl, flashed his teeth, and...stepped back? This was a surprise for them as it seemed Inuyasha didn't want to hurt them unless he felt threatened, but even as did all those things his head felt like he had been hit with something even more powerful then that explosion only from the inside. He then grabbed his head with his left demon clawed, silvery white hair covered hand, and let out howl of pain as his demon instincts took over as he moved his upper body upward so he could stand on his two legs. 'The pain! My head feels like its on fire. Are they doing this? They must because I've never felt this kind of pain before. I have to get away from them even if they are beings I could trust. At least till my mind clears up and I know who it is I should trust...from those I should kill!' thought Inuyasha as leaped some 10 feet into the air backwards from the group, which was for his height, weight, and build was considered as small jump.

Before the others could do anything to stop him he had turned in the direction they were as a group originally going and after one step leaped into the air towards his unknown destination giving him a significant lead over all of them. "Inuyasha come back! Don't leave us. Don't leave Rin...please," said Rin as her call to him became a whisper at the end as she ran only as few steps before she fell to her knees crying knowing she had now possibly lost the person she could consider her friend, a protector, and above all else if she dared to think it...a possible father that she never had.

(Naraku's Castle)

"Interesting development wouldn't you say Kanna?" said Naraku watching the whole event from Kanna's mirror.

"It is most interesting to see master Naraku," said Kanna as all she could do was only hold the mirror and watch her master smile at this latest turn of events.

"We should turn around and see the shaman about this so he could possibly help us the task of finding and helping Inuyasha," said Sango through the mirror as Naraku saw her as she found Inuyasha's sword and picked it up from the ground before putting it in the sheath that had left Inuyasha's waist as well when he went through the air.

"Do what you want you fools I'm out of here," said Kagura as she took the feather out of her hair and flew off before they could stop her.

"Kanna! I want you to go find Inuyasha and use your mirror to manipulate him to serve me by showing him images of his friends trying to kill him. Make him hate them and tell him I can grant him sanctuary and strength if he pledges his loyalty only to me. Go!" said Naraku motioning her to leave him as he took a drink of sake all the while having a dark smile on his face as a potentially new ally would appear from the ashes of the enemy that Inuyasha once was.

(A/N: Hey everyone what did you think. In case your wondering I have to work today and for the next three day's not counting Friday for working overtime and get some extra cash. Due to that I had to make this chapter extra long to make you guys happy till I can get the next one up, which might take awhile till next Saturday or Sunday (not sure). I really like all your reviews from last chapter. Way helpful in creating this chapter, which I can say is LONGEST...CHAPTER...EVER! As for the romances I'm getting more and more surprised by you guys as you all want something involving just Inuyasha and Kilala or Inuyasha/Sango/Kilala love triangle. However, I can't leave Kikyo out in the cold or else she would hurt me for it (looks left and right then wipes sweat off forehead). Any who I have made a decision regarding that though some of you may not like it (I think). As it stands there are very few Inuyasha/Kilala romance fics and are as rare as a fair presidential election (did I say that out loud? Well I guess we all know I'm going to jail for that cheap shot.) while Inuyasha/Sango fics along with Inuyasha/Kikyo fics are to be honest more loved then Inuyasha/Kagome fics (BURN EVIL ONE BURN!) Just had to say that sorry. ANYWAY...I have decided that the whole romantic relationship stuff will involve all three females mentioned (no Kagome is not one of them as she is a whore), but (yes there is a but. LOL!) the main romance will focus on Inuyasha and Kilala and their relationship as its clear the other two (Sango and Kikyo) obviously love Inuyasha while Kilala still has to do it in her own way. How? Well if you read near the end of the story before this you can pick up the hint yourself. I know I know you want to know, but where would be the fun in that if I just plain out told you. If you find out on your own its more satisfying and it makes you want to read the next chapter the moment its posted. See you guys next chapter and keep on reviewing!)
