Chapter 13-Surrpsies Among Surprises: Where It All Begins...Again.

Sango, Kilala, Kikyo, and the others had stopped for the night in order to catch up with Kagome and Koga sometime in the next day or two. Thanks to Kanna they had made very good process on their travels to find the two betrayers before going after the Lord of the Western Lands that was Sesshomorru himself. In the small time that they traveled the 3-4 days they had collected more jewel shards then they had with Kagome from the very start of the journey. However, during that time they had all tensed slightly a few days ago when they felt a great power rising not far from Kaede's village. At first they wanted to go back to the village to investigate fearing it could be Naraku or possibly Sesshomorru in his demon form attacking the poor village a desecrating Inuyasha's grave. In fact the group almost did go back when Kanna's mirror couldn't see what the source of the power they had felt was in the village.

However, shortly after the moment of feeling the great power they felt calmed and at peace as if the power they felt was not going to harm them or anyone they knew. It felt strange at first, but they found it strangely to be natural to them all the same so they had decided to just continue with the search for the traitors and worry about what they had felt for when they had gotten the vengeance they rightfully deserved for those who had helped and killed Inuyasha. "How much farther do you think we have to travel till we catch up with them?" said Shippo to Sango as he could ask Kilala as she had refused to come out of her demon looking form or her little cat form as she made it clear to them that without Inuyasha there was no third form to change into.

"I would say a 3 day maybe 4 at the most if we push ourselves hard enough. There is no doubt they are both getting tired and have not gotten much sleep from the tracks and the scent they easily left behind without trying to cover it up that Shippo and Kilala have on them. I would say they are running scared, but...," said Sango hesitating as she was not sure to continue speaking fearing she would worry the rest of the group.

"But what?" said Shippo curious as to why she had stopped talking and looked slightly worried in his demon enhanced perceptive eyes.

"Well...to be honest Shippo I don't think its us that Kagome and Koga are running from and even if they were they would have had time to cover their tracks better then they are now," said Sango making everyone including herself remember the power they felt near the village though from the immense proportion of power released into the lands that they felt it was hard not to remember.

"Whatever the reason for them running scared nothing is going to save them from dying for their treachery towards Inuyasha," said Kikyo getting a solid nod from everyone with that clear statement and fact all rolled up in one.

(Kaede's Village-3 Days and 1 Morning Ago)

Kaede woke up with a start as she had such an intense dream at best and a vision at worst about Inuyasha rising from his grave seeking revenge on those who had tried to kill him. But to her it was not possible as Inuyasha had been dead now for an estimate of two days if you counted this morning as well as the rest of today. Even if Inuyasha WAS going to rise from his resting place he would have done it immediately following his own death to show everyone that he was very much alive...in a manner of speaking. Still Kaede found that her nerves in this particular morning were on edge due to the dream/vision she had in her sleep and decided to calm them. 'The only way is to see it with ye own eye,' thought Kaede as her nerves seemed to be slowly becoming more erratic with every step she took the now outside world in front of her.

Kaede believed that by visiting Inuyasha's grave one more time at the shrine would end the feelings curiosity and dread that were deep inside of her. It was the place where she had originally buried Kikyo's remains that was only a few feet away from his. She felt it was appropriate when she had done that with the help of Miroku though it felt off due to the fact that Kikyo was still walking the earth. Never the less she did it anyway knowing it was what Inuyasha would have wanted should the two have originally died together of old age before Naraku's treachery came and spit the two apart for so long. When Kaede did reach the spot what she saw made her drop her bow as she ran to the spot that where Inuyasha's grave was or rather supposed to be undisturbed. She ran faster then even she thought was possible at her age only to fall on her knees clutching the earth in front of her that had been removed around Inuyasha corpse. Or rather where Inuyasha's corpse of a dead body should have been only to find that the body and Tetsuigia were now...gone. It was then that she noticed that there was some writing in the soil coincidentally where her blind spot was and consisted of her other now patched eye would see. She put the writing in view of her still good, but old eye and read what was written before gasping at what she had just read. What she read was this:

"Behold the demon's wrath that is of the fallen warrior. The beast welcomes to hell all that have had a hand in betraying him into its hell, fire, and agonizing death of al the wayward souls. Soon the demon of wrath that will be their eternal damnation will appear and his thirst for blood will be quenched. Not a soul in this world or the next can hide from his vengeance nor could they even try as they would fail. No mercy will be given nor will it be gained as those who betrayed him will feel the fury that goes by only one name...Inuyasha!"

As soon as Kaede had finished reading what was written on the ground it burst into flame before fading away as if it were nothing, but an illusion. "Good heavens. Inuyasha...is truly...alive!" said Kaede who despite being afraid at what she saw was actually glad that Inuyasha was no longer dead.

(Elsewhere-6 Days Later-Mid-Afternoon)

Kagome and Koga were both tired, panting, and running for their very lives as they felt the all powerful force coming at them. They had sensed this great force earlier when they had scared them back at Koga's now completely destroyed wolf den. "Where are...we running...Koga?" said Kagome panting while running as she felt that the trail they were running was slightly familiar.

"Your place where else," said Koga picking her up onto his back cutting loose his demon speed to get the well faster.

"WHAT?" yelled Kagome making Koga go depth in his ear for about 10 seconds before he could answer her loud yell and explain himself.

"It's simple Kagome when you think about it. Since I cannot protect you here in this time period were going to that well of yours and going yours instead. After a few years I think I can get the hang of it all no problem," said Koga who thought it would be easy being in a world demon free and with no competition he felt he could make a name for himself and remake his life as he saw fit.

It wasn't long before they both came within range of the well and saw it slowly becoming bigger as they got closer to it. Just as Koga was about to jump forward a huge boomerang used for demon slaying hit the ground several feet in front of him forcing him to do the opposite by jumping backwards. "Koga! Kagome! We have unfinished business with you two traitorous bastards for what you did to Inuyasha," said an angry Sango she appeared along with the others retrieving her deadly prized weapon in her hand once more.

"Why don't you go after Sesshomorru? He's the one who put that sword of his through your precious mutt that was Inuyasha. Why go after us?" said Koga as Kagome got off him so he could fight better though from where the two stood it would have been better to run at this moment.

"We are, but not before we take care of you. We can't allow either of you to pass through the well to the other side that is your world Kagome. I refuse to allow someone like you who I am ashamed to call my reincarnation to get away with killing someone I love," said Kikyo steadying her arrow at Kagome who in turn steady hers against Kikyo's.

"I am sick and tired of being called that. You know how many times people have called me that in this world? I lost track after the 200th time it was said to me. What about what I want and my needs? Who the hell gives you the right to judge me when you were the one who killed Inuyasha originally by pinning him to a tree that froze him in time?" said an angry Kagome firing her arrow at the same time Kikyo did making the two hit each other and destroy each other harmlessly at the same time.

"My deed was done to Inuyasha at the hands of treachery and deceit that was done by an unseen enemy that wanted me and the jewel for his own selfish purposes. I was blinded by what had happened to not see the truth in front me when it was there the entire time. You however, Kagome have no excuse for what you did to Inuyasha both in the past and here in the present because you are nothing more then a selfish child who thinks of her own needs and not of others. If you truly were my reincarnation you would have learned that long after you freed Inuyasha from the tree I had trapped him to," said Kikyo as she readied and fired a second arrow only this time instead of attacking Kagome she attacked Koga with the sacred arrow hitting him in his right leg knocking the jewel shard out of it and taking away a solid chunk of Koga's power.

"AH! Damn it! Screw this it's everyone for themselves," said Koga as he now ignored the pain he was feeling and kicked off the ground with his good leg to land straight into the well that was his goal.

He never reached it as a large blur knocked back down where he was before causing everyone to be shocked by this on both sides. However, what really shocked them was that it was Sesshomorru of all people who had done the deed instead of the others. Not noticing or rather caring for that matter that Kilala's furious gaze was on him (as she transformed into her third form that was human looking) Sesshomorru took out Tokijin and stabbed Koga in his left leg removing that jewel shard from it taking over half of the wolf abilities and strength along with such a tactic. "A true demon would not run from such a thing Koga so stand your ground you coward. Fight like a wolf pack leader should instead of the childish wolf cub that you are acting like right now," said Sesshomorru as he had turned to face the jewel shard hunting group, which was noticeably angry if not furious with him being even remotely near them all.

"Why are you here?" said Kilala who was hissing and snarling with her claws out and hair standing on end as she bared her teeth at the Lord of the Western Lands.

"I don't have to tell you anything nor will I...seeing as you will find out soon enough," said Sesshomorru who had whispered the last part with sadness that got the attention of Kilala, Shippo, Shiori, Kanna, and Koga, who had picked up his whispered words while wondering what he meant when he said that last part.

"That is correct...Sesshomorru," said a voice of a figure that appeared from the shadows showing he looked like something similar along the lines of Sesshomorru and Inuyasha.

"Who are you?" said Miroku holding his staff ready in case this new being was a foe and not a friend as did the others.

"I am Inutashio...Inuyasha's father," said Inutashio smiling at them before frowning at Sesshomorru and then scowling at Koga and Kagome.

"Wait! I thought Inuyasha's father was dead? We all saw your grave so what gives?" said Kagome as she remembered seeing the dead demon lords tomb not once, but twice from previous adventures with jewel shard hunting group both before and after it got it to this size.

Inutashio scowled even more at Kagome at the lack of respect she was showing him like she did his son though soon it wouldn't really matter that much as his son would be here soon. "'What gives' as you put it is that I have come back from the dead temporarily to aid my son in his endeavors so he can finally have happiness in is life. Happiness that was taken away from him by demons AND humans just...like...YOU!" said Inutashio whose eyes lit up with a fury at the three he was talking about as the others were amazed at the sheer power that came from the once dead ex-Lord of the Western Lands that they though only could be seen in Inuyasha.

"A lot of good that does you seeing as Inuyasha is dead. Me, Koga, and Sesshomorru all helped kill him with Sesshomorru delivering the finally blow with Tokijin. Some father you are you ex-demon lord piece of crap!" said Kagome point her arrow at Inutashio before firing it at him, which he moved away with a slight gesture to the left in a manner similar to something Sesshomorru or the new version of Inuyasha would do if he were in that situation.

"If you believe that then you are more stupid as you are foolish little girl because the very belief you have in my son being dead is about...to change," said Inutashio as he took out Tenseiga sheath and all and held it horizontally in both his hands as his eyes now stared intensely at the sword as if he was about to do something with it.

"That's Tenseiga! But I thought it was in Sesshomorru's possession?" said Shippo as he looked back and forth between the two family members wondering just what was going on.

"My fath...I mean Inutashio encountered me earlier and took it back from me denouncing me as his son and that swords inheritance as is his right as the creator of the blade," said a sad sounding Sesshomorru whose words surprised and even more at how they sounded.

He WHAT?" said Koga as it was very rare for a Demon Lord of such a majestic land to denounce his or her own child, it was never heard from what Koga understood in the Western part of demon territory.

"That's correct. What my...former son has told you is true. This sword that I hold in my hands now belongs to my one true son...Inuyasha. Behold its TRUE...POWER! Power I created through his mothers love for life and him that I had Totosai use to create Tenseiga as I use it to bring Inuyasha here before us!" said Inutashio unsheathing the blade making it said sword glow a pure white as it as he did so.

"Oh no you don't!" said Kagome as she readied another arrow to fire at Inutashio only to find that Sesshomorru of all people with Tokijin in hand had destroyed the bow and the arrow that was arched back to fire before Kagome could release it.

"We will have none of that," said Sesshomorru towering over the now fallen down girl as she had stumbled back from Sesshomorru after he disable her bow and arrow.

"Why? Why are you helping him? You hate your brother so why help in his return to this world?" said Kagome while still on the ground as the white light seemed to bring about it a shroud of darkness that covered the sky as it appeared to be absorbed into Tenseiga.

"Hate is an illusion that has corrupted my eyes and my soul for too long. No longer will I let it do so to me anymore. I intend to pay and repent for my sins that I have committed against Inuyasha. I will start before he returns form the other world by preventing YOU from stopping his return to this world," said Sesshomorru as the great sword that could heal 100 people that was Tenseiga in a single swing started to pulse more and more with each passing moment with the light it was producing around all of them.

"Yes...yes...come back Inuyasha. Come back to this place where it all began for you my son. Let them all bare witness to your power. UNLIMITED POWER!" said Inutashio he raised the half removed sword over his head letting the light it was releasing to shine over all of them.

As all of this was happening the ground beneath them shook with great strength as cracks in the earth became evident proof of that. The cracks that were forming underneath them were shining a red demonic light that when followed by everyone found it originated to the time traveling well that was the gate between Kagome's time and there's. Soon the intense red demonic light that appeared on the ground exploded from within the well. It shot out from the ground up to the sky and the heavens themselves twisting like a tornado around them. Lightning soon shot through the clouds that were too dark to see and sky all around them before several hundred lightning bolts (the approximately amount was about six hundred and sixty six lighting bolts from what Inutashio saw) struck the demonic like tornado traveling down it in the opposite way the tornado was twisting down to the well itself. When it did connect with the well it exploded a split second afterwards along with a big chunk of the earth with it before the demonic tornado died as well as the lightning storm above. What did not leave however, was the intense power that had been in that very demonic tornado and storm from above. "I HAVE REUTRNED!" yelled a demonic voice oh so familiar to everyone around them as Inuyasha.

"Daddy," said Shiori gasping at what she saw as she like the others around her as the red demonic aura around Inuyasha molded itself around his body in a spin a tornado like state that they previously saw before hand.

"Yes Shiori. 'Daddy'...is BACK!" said Inuyasha smiling as he took a single step forward making Kagome, Koga, and Sesshomorru take a step back.

"No way!" said Koga finding his legs were pretty much shot trying to reach for his sword only to find it had been knocked loose from his waist behind Kagome.

"Behold! The Prince of the Western Lands has returned to the land of the living. As is your demon (points at Koga, Kagome, and Sesshomorru) that will be the one who brings you to...ETERNAL DAMNATION!" said Inuyasha yelling the last two words loudly as he started walking slowly towards them...starting with Kagome

"No. No! NO! WHY WON'T YOU JUST DIE!" said Kagome as she picked up a small sized rock next to her on her right and threw it with all her strength at his head.

That was of course before she noticed that Koga's sword as she grabbed it unsheathed the deadly weapon before turning to face Inuyasha whom she found was right in front of her. "Hello Kagome. Bet your surprised to see me walking around huh? The only thing that I hate even more then my enemies are my friends that become my enemies thus making them traitors. I...HATE...TRAITORS!" said Inuyasha staring at Kagome the entire time not looking at anyone else as he knew she was the one who started this so it to him it was only fitting that it would be finished here in this very place where it all began...for him as well as her.

Kagome just stood there with an angry if not with a pure hateful look in her eyes as she gripped the sword even tighter in her hands. "Well guess what Inuyasha? I HATE YOU!" said Kagome as she thrusted her sword into Inuyasha's chest like Sesshomorru did only to find a demonic barrier or rather shield appeared around Inuyasha protecting him from harm.

The source of the shield was not surprisingly Inuyasha, but rather it was both Kanna and Shiori who combined their powers together to create a thick demon shield for their father. They weren't going to let history repeat itself like it did before...not with Kagome and certainly not with Sesshomorru with his Tokijin sword in hand. "You know what I find funny Kagome? For the first time that we have known each other THIS one thing out of all others is the ONLY thing we mutually have in common with each other. For you that is most...unfortunate," said Inuyasha as he knocked the sword in her hands away with his left hand and with his right he lifted the girl up by the throat while proceeding to lift her up in the air over his head.

"Kagome!" said Koga as he crawled over to her using his arms as his legs were pretty much worthless at this point.

"Be patient Koga. You are next!" said Inuyasha who ignored the wolf as he had just reached his leg and grabbed a hold of it.

"No...please don't kill her. It was my fault that she attacked you," said Koga knowing if he could get Kagome off the hook he knew he had done something right.

Inuyasha however, was not a fool nor was he stupid in anyway to believe such a lie as he knew Kagome was the one who planed this from the start. Still...that didn't mean that the liars of the world like Koga couldn't go unpunished for saving the traitor of his pack that was Kagome. "You are a bad liar Koga. I can tell you are lying to me from your voice, body movement, and even your breathing at the close proximity of being near me at my feet. However I won't kill Kagome out of respect for your devotion to her as mine I will admit at one point was similar to mine," said Inuyasha causing shock to fill the area at what Inuyasha just said.

"You will?" said Koga surprised that Inuyasha was still willing to show mercy despite the fact that he should have destroyed them right about now.

'He will?' thought everyone else except Inutashio and Sesshomorru who knew exactly what was going to happen next.

(A/N: In case you don't know or can't see it coming then your really stupid. Sorry.)

"Yes Koga. Instead...I'll kill you first and THEN HER!" said Inuyasha who removed his left leg free from Koga's arms before smashing the exact same legs foot into the back of and right through Koga's head before twisting it making a loud CRACK sound being heard by everyone in the area.

"KOGA! YOU KILL HIM! YOU HALF-BREED BASTARD!" yelled Kagome as she was now extremely pissed off at the moment while trying to get free from Inuyasha's unbreakable grip.

"For once...I'm glad you said that. Now I have no regrets about gutting you like the spineless bitch you are," said Inuyasha as he drew Tetsuigia, but not before he turned to the others and motioned with his head to cover the children's eyes, which was done by Miroku, Sango, Kikyo, and a now retransformed into human looking form Kilala.

'This is going to get messy,' thought everyone including the four children in the clearing as they waited for what was going to happen to the girl.

The result was instantaneous as Inuyasha sent his Tetsuigia right through Kagome letting go of her throat as she slid down slightly towards him staining the blade in her blood. "So long Kagome... SEE YOU IN HELL!" said Inuyasha as he then activated his new sword technique he had created before his initial "death" at the hands of Sesshomorru that he never got a chance to using because of the "death" itself.

It was then that Tetsuigia started to glow blood red that was much darker then what it was when it destroyed barriers. "What's going on? What is daddy doing?" said Shiori as she could see due to a pair of hands covering her eyes.

"You don't want to know Shiori and when you do you are going to be MUCH older when we tell you," said Sango as she watched like the others what Inuyasha was doing as his power now swirled around Tetsuigia entering Kagome dying and bleeding to death body.

"Demongo Destructor," said Inuyasha holding his sword out further away from his right before the energy in his sword into Kagome caused her to have a spasm, she then let out a scream of pain and then silencing her scream by making her explode in front of him with waves of demonic energy turning the bodies now flying remains into ashes and dust.

When it was all said and done the children of the group were finally a loud to look again only to be confused at what happened. "Remember don't ask till you are MUCH older," said Sango reminding the kids not to ask questions and reminding the adults to make sure the kids never ask.

"And now...for YOU!" said Inuyasha turning to face Sesshomorru who could only nod his head as he took a few steps forward towards his demon brother though he technically couldn't call him that much less think it anymore.

"Inuyasha I have a request of you if you don't mind," said Sesshomorru his voice filled with sadness and regret that was normally not the case with Sesshomorru as he would normally lock away his emotions and throw away the key.

" A request you say? Speak it and we will see if your request can be granted," said a slightly suspicious Inuyasha as this was new to him.

"If I am to die at your hands I want to die a death in the form of a battle between you and me in a full out fight. I don't mean fighting as in before no this is not a as brothers, not as demons, but as fellow warriors that we both became in our own way. Will you grant me this request?" said Sesshomorru hoping it could be granted knowing it was the only thing he could do.

Inuyasha eyed his brother carefully for a moment contemplating his brothers...ex-brothers request before eyeing his father who at Sesshomorru and then back to Inuyasha. "Its all right Inuyasha I sense no deception in him like you," said Inutashio who he had to admit was a little skeptical about Sesshomorru's request as well, but after seeing no tricks in what the older of the two wanted he felt it was okay.

"Heheheh. Finally I get to unleash some of my power I haven't had a chance to test my skills out yet," said Inuyasha as the two got into fighting position while Inutashio stood in the middle to the right of them while the others just watch as an amazing fight was about to happen

"Be warned Inuyasha I will not hold back. I will attack you full force with everything that I am...and then some," said Sesshomorru as he readied his one hand with Tokijin ready to go literally into the fight of his life.

"Let's rock!" said Inuyasha as he shifted his weight to the left for a better balance while his father raised his hand over his head getting ready to start the fight between the two.

"The winner is the one whose stand while the loser...well you both know what happens to the loser. LET'S GET IT ON!" said Inutashio bring his hand down as the two ran at each other swords swinging in a an epic duel while the others on the sidelines all cheered for Inuyasha watching from her undisclosed location a surprised Kagura watched with pure amusement at what she was seeing as her chances of freedom suddenly got better.

'I know Inuyasha may win due to his changes, but I can still cheer for my own personal favorite in silence and spirit. GO SESSHOMORRU!' thought Kagura as she cheered for the demon lord she...dare she even speak it much less think it...loved with all her free will and heart that she felt would soon be hers.

(END CHAPTER)

(A/N: Okay you guys this chapter is going to end here. I know you and boo me and throw stuff at me all you want. (HEY I SAW THAT! NO THROWING FECIES! HUMAN OR OTHERWISE!) Anyway before I become a target again I want to say a few things. First I want to thank the 4 (THAT RIGHT 4!) people who reviewed. Also I want to thank the 2 of the 4 who gave me votes for what I should right for my next fic as you just might get your wish. So far it Naruto fic 2-0 so far and beating Star Wars in this unopposed. I was thinking of doing a KOTOR II fic, but then I realized that I wasn't ready for that (maybe down the road I will, but not now) just yet. So unless I get reviews with votes that state otherwise after this the WINNER (by a lousy 2 votes) is Naruto, which I find all things considered appropriate since I have over 130 favorites and most of them being mostly Naruto fics with the occasional Inuyasha, Star Wars, NGE, Teen Titans, and one Justice League fic (It's a Superman Harem thing and would be good IF THE WRITER GOT OFF HIS ASS AND WROTE ANOTHER CHAPTER!), but I will digress. Anyway keep on reviewing as I need them. Were coming down to the wire soon meaning when this story and the curtain falls on this little play of a drama (anime cries) is done Naruto will take over from there. Also in case your wondering its going to be Naruto/Hinata fic. I approve of no others unless a Harem is involved and Hinata is apart of it. Only a few have EVER been the exception because they were good fics. Soon it will be my turn to throw my hat into the Naruto Universe and believe me if you thought Inuyasha was good wait till you see my Naruto stuff. Its going to be some crazy shit in there so badly you are going to need an exorcist. HA! Seriously though review and stuff so I can get this on the road.)
