Hey everyone I'm glad to hear everyone's comments so to answer some questions/comments; GirlFish Naraku is in this one and Yuzuki does finally meet him, firefox1102 I haven't decided who Yuzuki gets paired with yet but I do agree that Ginta and Hakkaku need a girl, sangoscourage I'm glad you enjoyed the last chapter thanks giving me ideas though my laptop does funny things on word document so I apologise if they bunch together sometimes it's a problem with word on my laptop and I've redone the last chapter and it has Inuyasha getting soaked. Another disclaimer I don't own any of the Inuyasha characters or any of the original plots form Inuyasha I only own Yuzuki (the Hanyo wolf/water sorcerer), Raven (Wolf Demon 'bad guy') and Ryuu (the water dragon) and any of the additional characters that I put in, thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy this chapter looking forward to the reviews :)
Chapter 3: The Despicable Naraku
"Get up" I received a shake "Ah wha..." I tried to speak but a hand covered my mouth "Don't speak, let me speak I thought we'd talk before you change, there's things I need to say… When we hanyo's become human our human emotions take over us, I'm sorry about earlier about saying you weren't a hanyo but you understood why I said that and even though I still mean it, I do want to thank you for saving our lives earlier" Inuyasha said. He sat down beside me "You do have a soft side Inuyasha but you know helping is what you should do, it's not a choice" I replied "Of course it's a choice! No one likes hanyo's not humans or demons! So why should we go out of our way to help?" Inuyasha growled softly. I stood up "I thought you would have understood since you travel with human and demon friends Inuyasha… Helping is a good deed, no matter how much we hanyo's are hated by humans or demons, if we help others we can show them that not every hanyo is a monster like they assume" I replied. Inuyasha stood beside me "Maybe… But I still can't believe why we have to help everyone, defeating Naraku is enough for me" Inuyasha said I sighed "Yeah, from what I've heard in the tone of your voice and from what Koga has told me, this Naraku character is too evil he should be stopped as soon as possible" I replied. There was a short silence "The sun will rise any minute…" Inuyasha says "Yes… So Inuyasha shall we be mutual acquaintances then?" I asked "Tch… Until we get out of here yeah, after that it depends if you get in my way or not, weirdo" Inuyasha said even though the storm continued there were glimpses of light shining through.
My form had changed, a glow of light surrounded me, once it disappeared my brown hair colour went to black, and my violet eyes changed to a hazel colour and my demon ears went to human ears my claws and fangs had disappeared. "So who's the weirdo now?" I asked then giggled "It's still you" Inuyasha said, and we both laughed, which woke up everyone "Yuzuki?!" a few voices called out, I turned around and gave everyone a smile "Good morning guys" I said happily. They all stared in awe, I looked myself up and down "Ah… Is there something wrong?" I said worried "You're still beautiful" Ginta said "Very" Hakkaku added "They're right you know" Sango said "Mhmm… You look like a princess" Kagome said. From the compliments my face had turn bright red "Oh… I… Um… Thank you" I stuttered "Hey what are you getting so flustered about weirdo" Inuyasha said slinging an arm over my shoulders "What? Hey why are you touching me all of a sudden" I ask. "Because you don't smell like wolf no more that's why" Inuyasha said Suddenly Koga came between us "Don't get so familiar with Yuzuki mutt… Keep away from her" Koga growled "Heh what's a matter wolf you got feelings for her now?" Inuyasha asked "She's a member of my pack and my friend, if I did it has nothing to do with you!" Koga shouted, my face went red as they continued to argue. I walked away and sat down against a wall "Yuzuki you ok?" Hakkaku asked "Yeah, it's kind of exhausting watching them argue like that though…" I replied "Koga always gets defensive when it involves a friend or members of his pack" Ginta said. Ginta sat on one side while Hakkaku sat on the other side of me "Hey guys why did Koga say I was in his pack? I mean he was only allowing me to travel with you all and now I'm a member of his pack and his friend" I ask "Koga's never been much to say what he really feels inside but in the case that your member of the pack and a friend, you must mean something to him" Ginta said. "Yeah Koga doesn't just let anyone into the pack even if they do have powers" Hakkaku said I smiled "Thanks guys… Uh, I didn't get much sleep last night do mind watching out for me, I'm still not trusting of that monk" I said. They both had big smiles on their faces "Sure we'd be glad to" Ginta said "We'll look after you" Hakkaku said "Thanks" I replied and lent back against the wall, I slowly closed my eyes drifting to sleep.
I was only in a light sleep so I was still aware of everything around me "So what shall we do all day?" Miroku's voice "Take the opportunity to rest like Yuzuki is" Kagome's voice "Well I'm going to tend to my Hiraikotsu and Katana, while there's time to spare" Sango's voice. "Then Inuyasha shall we discuss the topic of Naraku" Miroku's voice "Why? We have no idea where he is or what he's plotting to do next" Inuyasha's voice "You may not know but Yuzuki will, as soon as she picks up Naraku's scent or sees him I'll have a chance of getting him" Koga's voice. "So that's the reason for having her around, she's just there to help you find Naraku… That's low Koga using her like this" Inuyasha's voice "That's not true" Ginta's voice. "Yeah Koga tell him he's wrong" Hakkaku's voice "Well Koga am I wrong?" Inuyasha's voice "It's none of your business, so butt out" Koga's voice. "Koga you're not using Yuzuki are you?" Ginta's voice "I'm the pack leader, don't question what I do just be glad she's travelling with us after all that's what you two wanted right?" Koga's voice listening to their conversation made me sad knowing I was probably being used but I was sure Ginta and Hakkaku cared for me, with thoughts racing through my mind I fell into a deep sleep.
I felt myself leaning against someone "This is so unfair…" Hakkaku's voice "Hakkaku stop complaining and Ginta don't rub it in" Koga's voice I felt a strong wind from outside but not from the storm from something else, I'm probably just being paranoid though. I yawned and opened my eyes to find myself cuddling up against Ginta, I look up at him he's cheeks blushed red "Did you sleep well?" Ginta asks with a smile, my face goes red as I separate myself from him "Yes thank you, sorry I didn't realise that I uh…" I replied "Its ok Yuzuki, I'm glad you slept well" Ginta smiled. Inuyasha was still in hanyo form but it'd wouldn't be too long before the day ended "Hey Yuzuki, when will the storm be over?" Kagome asked "Tomorrow sometime most likely" I replied Inuyasha came over to me "Look here, I ain't looking forward to spending another day stuck in here so answer the question properly" Inuyasha said. I stood up "Use your ears, I just gave my answer… Or don't those dog ears of yours work" I snapped at him, Inuyasha growled "That wasn't an answer it was a maybe it'll go away maybe it won't answer… Anyways you control water so make it stop" Inuyasha said "That's right you idiot I do control water but not storms that's totally different" I growled back. "Inuyasha…." Kagome said "Uh…" Inuyasha gasped as a look of fear crossed his face and he turned away from me. I went to sit by Kagome and Sango "Can I ask a question?" I said "Sure" Sango replied "What do you want to know?" Kagome asked "Well if it's not a good subject we don't have to talk about it I was just wondering if you would tell me about Naraku and what he's done" I say. Sango looks down sadly "Naraku is a half-spider demon and has hurt a lot of people, killed a lot of innocent people… He turned Inuyasha and Kikyo a priestess like me against each other fifty years ago and cursed Miroku's family with a wind-tunnel in their right hand and well…" Kagome said the tone of her voice displayed anger and sadness and looked to Sango "Naraku had turned my younger brother Kohaku against me, my father and our comrades… Kohaku was being controlled and killed them all and tried to kill me, Kohaku woke from being controlled while I was badly injured from his attack and he was shot with arrows… I survived and with a few tricks from Naraku I met Kagome and everyone else" Sango said sadly with a tint of anger.
I hung my head "I'm so sorry Sango…" I said Sango shook her head "It's ok, I found out not long ago that Kohaku is alive Naraku brought him back but is controlling him with a jewel shard… So it's some comfort to know he's alive" Sango replied. "If Kohaku's alive that means there's still a chance you can get him back… There has to be a way to release Kohaku of Naraku's grip somehow" I said clenching my right hand into a fist "I hope so…" Sango said. "Naraku has wrecked all of our lives in one way or another that's why we're all travelling together, the more that stand up to him the better" Kagome said, I looked at Kagome and smiled "Even though I promised Koga I would help him I think it would only be fair if I notified you as soon as I know where he is and what he's doing, I'll get Ryuu to keep you up to date once we go our separate ways" I said. Shippo came and sat between Kagome and I "Is Ryuu that water dragon?" Shippo asks "Yes he is, Ryuu was well a loyal helper to one of my mother's best friends and teachers but he entrusted him to me after my mother died… Ryuu practically raised me and kept me safe, he taught me just about everything I know" I replied. Kagome and Sango looked at me in surprise "So you were raised by a water dragon?" Sango questions I nod my "Yep he is... No was my only family up until recently" I said "Who's your new family?" Kagome questioned I laughed lightly "That's Ginta, Hakkaku and Koga of course… Then there's you guys, you've treated me like a true friend, all of you have and for that I'll be forever indebted to you all" I said smiling. "Koga…. You hear that your family… She's indebted to you I think she deserves to know" Inuyasha growled, I turned around to Inuyasha and Koga I stood up and walked over to them "I don't have anything to say" Koga said turning his back on Inuyasha "Yes you dam well do! If you don't I will!" Inuyasha growled "Oh no you won't!" Koga growled back "Shut up! Just tell me what's going on!" I shouted staring furiously at them both. "Yuzuki Koga only keeps you around because he wants you to find Naraku for him that's all" Inuyasha said I guess I was excepting that but not to hear it so soon especially from someone else and not from Koga the one doing the using, I hung my head as I felt tears swelling up "Is it true?" I ask.
"It is" Inuyasha replies I turned to Inuyasha "I think Koga can speak for himself" I said and turned to Koga, he looked at me and turned away "Dam it Koga answer me! Were you just using me all along?!" I yelled. Koga turned back to me "Yeah that was my plan! Alright happy now?!" Koga yells back I step back as tears fall "I guess I knew that this might happen but you know what it doesn't matter, even though you lied and used me I made a promise… I promised to help you and I always keep my promises even if I have promised a jerk like you" I said and turned away from him, I went to the back of the cave and sat down against the wall bringing my knees to my chest, wrapping my arms around them as I pressed my head to my knees and just cried. "Koga how could you do that to her!" Ginta yelled "Yeah Koga she called us friends and thought of us like family!" Hakkaku yelled, hearing them yell at each other I laid down there and curled up in a ball falling into a deep sleep as more tears continued to fall. "Hey wake up, Yuzuki" Inuyasha's voice I opened my heavy eye lids and sat up slowly and saw Inuyasha sitting beside me "Inuyasha… Uh thank you for before you know for telling me about Koga" I said "Hey don't worry about it, look Ginta and Hakkaku are worried about you" Inuyasha replied. I gasped as I realized that Inuyasha was human, he had black hair brown eyes and normal ears, he's fangs and claws were gone as well "What?" Inuyasha said confused I laughed "I only just noticed that you're human now" I replied Inuyasha just shook his head "Weirdo" Inuyasha said softly. Suddenly a thud came against the barrier "Ahh, Kagome…" Shippo screamed Kirara growled Inuyasha and I ran out to the barrier and the others came over as well. I put my hand to the barrier and closed my eyes and I could see through the water that flew from the sky there was a woman flying on a feather, I took my away hand and gasped as I snapped my eyes open "What's going on out there?" Inuyasha barked "Yuzuki what is it?" Koga asked "It's a wind sorcerer and she looks pretty annoyed too, she looks like she's looking for something or someone" I replied "Kagura!" Inuyasha and Koga said at the same time "Dam it bring down this stupid barrier!" Inuyasha yelled.
"I can't do that… I'm sorry but this will have to be my fight, the best way to fight a sorcerer is with another sorcerer" I said "What?!" Inuyasha replied blankly "No, Yuzuki you can't go" Ginta said "Ginta's right your human now" Hakkaku added. "Please don't go out there…" Ginta pleaded "We care about you" Hakkaku said "It'll be ok, besides I'm still a water sorcerer so Kagura and I are evenly matched, as soon as the sun comes up I'll bring down the barrier but until then stay here, safe out of harm's way" I said and leaped out of the barrier. After I was out I landed onto a thin circular water platform and flew my way up to the wind sorcerer "So you came... Yuzuki was it?" the woman said "How do…" I began to reply but was cut off "Naraku, knows you've joined Koga's pack and that makes you a threat and Naraku can't have any more threats, so you'll have to die" she said "Tch… If he doesn't like threats he shouldn't piss people off!" I yell back the woman laughed. "What's so funny?" I ask "Because Kanna thinks you, Yuzuki a water sorcerer can beat me, Kagura a wind sorcerer… I will be proving her wrong on this night" the woman says "We'll just see about that Kagura! You have threated my friends and I don't like that, you and Naraku and whoever else works for Naraku will die" I say "Tch mere talk is getting us nowhere… Dance of Blades!" she yelled as she swung around her fan. The blades came my way I jumped up, but one ran past my right leg "Dam!" I cursed under my breath and landed back on my platform Kagura smiled "What are happy about? Fangs of Vengeance!" I yelled and formations of fangs form from the water, they turned red as blood I twirled them around me and flung them at her. Kagura's eyes widen and flung her fan for the wind to stop it but my Fangs of Vengeance pierced through her body "Got her" I said "Urgh… How dare you little…" Kagura spat out "Enough" a man's voice rung out.
"You're quite a rare talent indeed, Kanna tells me that Inuyasha his friends and Koga and a couple of wolf demons are in that cave" the man says "Who are you?" I ask the man chuckles "Why I'm Naraku of course the one and only" the man replies "Uh… You're him, I might as well finish you off too while I'm at it" I say in rage. "So brave for you to say when you're not in your true form… Hanyo wolf" Naraku said with a grin, my eyes widen before I knew it he had shot a black ball at me "Ahh!" I screamed in pain as it hit me "What… Did… You do?" I struggled to ask. "A parting gift… It's miasma and it will run through your whole body and soon you won't be able to do anything… So when you're dead I can kill Inuyasha and all of your little friends in that cave, your father and your half-brother his family and oh well let's say I'll kill all you filthy wolves... But I'll be looking forward to killing Inuyasha the most though" Naraku said as he laughed I felt the miasma run through my body, tears left my eyes "Dam you, I won't let you hurt them! Fangs of Vengeance!" I screamed and twirled them around me like before with all my strength then shot them at Naraku, my Fangs of Vengeance had pierced through his body letting miasma and blood seep out of his body. "Water Dragon!" I yelled as Ryuu came to my aid and stared fighting on the rest my behalf "Dam you wench! Kagura get us out of here!" Naraku said and soon they were nowhere in sight. The water dragon came to my side and held me in his clawed hand "Please take me to my friends in the cave… I don't have long left" I said the water dragon gave a saddening growl and took me down "Yuzuki!" I heard there calls for me and as soon as the Ryuu set me on the ground "Thank you Ryuu, please worn all the wolf tribes that there may be an upcoming fight for all wolf tribes" I said the water dragon nuzzled me and gave another saddening growl then left. Kagome, Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku, Shippo and Kirara on one side and Koga, Ginta and Hakkaku on the other, Ginta and Hakkaku looked more worried and upset than anyone else "What the hell happened out there?" Koga asked.
"Kagura was my only opponent at first, she said Naraku has been watching us all… Inuyasha he most likely knows when you turn human now" I replied "Yuzuki you said Kagura was your only opponent at first, did you end up killing her? Who was the other?" Miroku asked. I squirmed in pain "I thought I killed her but she didn't die even though she was severely injured, Naraku must have some sort of protection charm on her… Naraku turned up… He knew we were all here together and wanted to kill us and after that he was going for all the wolf demon tribes…" I replied. "Yuzuki, Naraku did this to you right? He put all this miasma into you didn't he?" Kagome asks "Yeah… It happened so fast, there was no way I was able to avoid it" I replied then closed my eyes shut while clenching my teeth together and closing my hands shut firmly. I could feel I didn't have much time left so this is how I die, at least I had friends by my side, people who liked me for me, I'm not alone anymore, thank you Koga for helping me and I'm sorry I was unable to help you now even though you were only using me I still have a debt to you, Ginta and Hakkaku I'm extremely glad I met you, you both have changed my life so much, thanks to Inuyasha for opening up to me and his friends for accepting me. "Kagome can't you do something?" Ginta's voice "Please don't let her die" Hakkaku's voice "Kagome try the arrow" Shippo's voice "Of course, please let this work, stay with us Yuzuki" Kagome's voice I felt the arrow tip pierce my chest, I groaned in pain. "The arrow is turning black, it's absorbing the miasma" Sango's voice "As soon as it absorbs the miasma she should be ok" Miroku's voice "The sun won't be far off from rising" Inuyasha's voice "That's it there's no miasma from what I can tell, I'll have to treat he leg it looks bad, she's losing too much blood" Kagome's voice "Dam Kagura and Naraku they'll burn in hell for what they've done to Yuzuki!" Koga's voice and with that my consciousness faded away from me.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter, just a heads up Raven's back in the next chapter to cause some trouble for Yuzuki and I just like to ask everyone who they think Yuzuki should be paired with: Ginta? Hakkaku? or Koga? let me know your thoughts.
