Village: Slaughtered

InuYasha woke up slowly as a bright light shined on his face. It was too bright so he put his hand over his eyes to block out the light's harmful rays. His vision is blurry so he really can't see well. And it took him a minute to realize what is going on.

"What happened…?" He said ruggedly while his vision is getting into focus. He rubbed his head of the unknown pain until images popped up of what just happened last night. Visions of Naraku and him fighting and him throwing him down and threw in into a hole. And then everything came into senses…

InuYasha growls," Damn him!" And then flinches in pain from straining his head. All he could think about is his hands around Naraku's neck…

And then one thought came to mind," Where am I?" He said looking at the claustrophobic wall. His breathing starts to race fast and faster and he knew he had to get out of the suffocating hole! So he jumped with his superhuman strength right out of the hole and landed safely on the ground heaving.

"That…was close…" he said in between breaths sweating from its humid air down the hole. He looks back to see what he had just jumped from and saw a well that resembles the one he saw last night. He then turns his head to his surroundings to see trees and lush green grass just like back at the Feudal Era. And then he saw something that he had never seen before in his entire life… He saw five giant heads on top of a mountain and right below it was buildings that somewhat resembles Kagome's Era.

"Am I in Kagome's time? It couldn't be… I haven't gone down the Bone Eaters Well did I?" InuYasha said to himself. He was trying to figure out what was happening but couldn't put his claw on it…Until an idea popped up inside his head!

"Since it's Kagome's time I could locate her house in that town then! And then I could go back through her shrine and go back home!" He said brightly. He was somehow proud of himself since Miroku isn't there to hammer him with questions and telling him that it will not work all the time. So he followed the path that lead toward the strange town.

"So the 'nine tails' is this way I presume." Says a slithery voice walking beside his partner Itachi. He looks back at his shark made partner and then looked forward to his destination," yes, and we're close…" Itachi says calmly.

"You're awfully quiet today after the meeting." He looks back at his partner's face," Are you worried about your little brother? What's his name…Sasuke?"

"Insolence! We do not have time to talk or think about that now. The only thing we need to focus on is our main objective. Capturing the tailed beasts…" yelled Itachi. Even though he doesn't look it, he's strained that his brother escaped from Orochimaru's grasp and is powerful enough to kill him. And he knows that he's on a search party to find and kill him himself. Kisame really doesn't know about the Uchiha's past but knows Itachi has the upper hand. But hearing that somebody like Sasuke killing Orochimaru is the ultimate news and he also knows that he's after his loyal partner.

"Anyway," he said trying to change the subject," while we are close to the nine tails, let's stop and rest up. Having to sit still for three days is making my body ache…" Kisame suggested while rubbing his back from its stiffness. Usually Itachi might say no and keep going but he actually agreed to his suggestion.

"Somehow I'm feeling extra generous today. We stop at that village for a few minutes and then we're off." Ordered Itachi. Kisame was shocked to hear his partner actually agreeing with his idea. Either way he always follows his orders since he's stronger than he. Then silence filled the air as they march closer and closer to the nearby small village. They finally made it, looking at the people crowding the streets.

"Let's get something to eat since we haven't eaten in days now. What about that stand over there?" Kisame pointed out. It was a large snack stand that sold rice balls. The smell of it reached Kisame's shark nose which made his mouth water a little bit. And not to mention, Itachi's too. They followed the scent of the delicious aroma. But along the way, people glared at them gossiping.

"Hey are they part of the Akatsuki?" "I think so, look at those red clouds on them." "Are they still after the tailed beasts?" "Not to mention, did the Village Hidden in the Leaf have a Jinchuriki with them?" "We can't let them pass!" "Yeah let's stop them!"

The people start to rant louder and get angrier by the second. Soon they grabbed their weapons getting prepared for their fight. Kisame and Itachi noticed all the people glaring at them and preparing their military.

"I can't even take a break for once without killing people?" Kisame said while halting to a stop.

"You will not pass," Everyone gets there shuriken and knives ready," because your end is here." Said a man in front of the military. Kisame laughed at their attempt to stop them.

"Haha, is this is some kind of joke?" He asks. In return, no response from the people. "Oh you all serious about this huh?" He begins to grab for his sword "shark skin" until Itachi stops him.

"No need to. Let's just leave." And just when he was about to turn away, someone was about to strike him until Itachi turned around swiftly, grabbed his wrist, and threw him down onto the ground leaving sand dust clouding up the ground.

"Just leave them alone' eh?" Kisame mimicked Itachi looking at the guy unconscious on the ground. Itachi made a glare at Kisame which made up shut up less than a second. And that glare also means, "Finish them off" and with that the mini war began.

InuYasha sniffs the air.

"I smell blood. And it's not too far from here." He said jumping full speed ahead of himself. The closer he gets the more he hears slashing and screams from that way.

What the hell is going on? InuYasha thought as he gets a view from the large smoke area. He zooms faster towards the village through trees and shrubbery. He then lands into the horrific sight of blood everywhere. Children along with women lay in the streets dead, even the military was defeated.

"Damn, I must be late then…" InuYasha said unto himself looking at the dead bodies.

"No, you're just on time for my shark skin to taste you…" Kisame said from the flames from the other side. InuYasha looked and what he saw in front of him was a shark man and another man wearing the same cloaks with red clouds imprinted on them.

"Heh, I knew I smelled something 'fishy' around here…" InuYasha said with a glare.

"You have jokes," Kisame said looking at his dog ears," for a dog."

"Oh yeah?" InuYasha yelled irritated of being called a dog by a fish. He pulled out his sword which transformed into a fang that interested Kisame. Itachi was eyeing how tessaiga looked and can sense the demonic aura around the sword. "How about we duel it out?"

"What a splendid idea." And with that the clash began. InuYasha and Kisame rushed to each other with their swords held high. And when they clashed, they hit their swords against each other. It was still and silent. Nothing but the two of the grunting of who will over power one another.

"You're…stronger than…I expected…" Kisame said. And I don't detect any chakra from this sword either. Shark skin can only feel demonic energy from it. What kind of sword is this…?

"Keh, what did you say…?" InuYasha said also struggling to stay strong with his sword. I will not lose at this time… This guy's sword is strong; I don't feel any demonic energy from it, him, or his partner. But it couldn't be possible that he and another human defeated all these people without a scratch on them…

"I see you're in deep thought. Don't get too caught up in it because you might go down." Kisame taunted steadily holding his sword for control.

"Don't be so sure of yourself!" InuYasha moans as he tries to get more strength. He steadily pushes Kisame's sword back making him surprise in every inch. And soon InuYasha over powered him, slicing him back on his feet. Before they knew it they were both panting uncontrollably.

InuYasha laughs to himself regaining his breath," you're ready for round shark bait…?"

"Why you little-"

"Stop Kisame. Let 'them' handle him." Itachi said.

"Them?" Kisame asks Itachi not understanding what he means by 'them'.

"The shinobi, they should be coming…"

"Then, what about-"

"They'll take care of them…" Itachi said activating his Sharingan. InuYasha looked into his eyes without knowing. His eyes are different than before… InuYasha thought. If only he knew that was put under a genjutsu the moment he looked into his eyes….Next thing InuYasha knows the flames of the fire around him are getting hotter and he cannot escape. But in reality he collapses onto the ground under a genjutsu.

"What the…? This can't be possible, how can I get out? This reminds me of the time with…" and then a pale faced girl with long black hair walked slowly from the flames. He recognizes her as Kikyo.

"InuYasha," then blood appears on her shoulder with her clothes clawed," why did you betray me?!" Kikyo yells…

"So you put him under your genjutsu huh…?" Kisame said eying the white haired boy. But he was still fascinated with his sword that he was going to take it," then I should take that sword then…" He walks over to the unconscious hanyou and grabs for the sword until an electric shock singed Kisame's hand.

"Ouch! This sword must be resistant eh?" He said rubbing the sore spot on his hand… Itachi was paying attention to the survivor that was an eye witness the whole entire time. Once the survivor spotted Itachi looking at him he started to run for it. But Itachi caught up with him in a blink of an eye. He grabs him by the shoulder making him stop.

"If you're going back to the Leaf for help," the man looks into his Sharingan" then tell them that a boy with long white hair, red kimono, with a sword destroyed the village. And then describe the horrific scene…" Itachi ordered. The young man was now under his control and obeyed what he said. And soon he followed the path to the leaf Village.

"What was that about…?" Kisame asked walking up to Itachi.

"We don't have to worry about the Leaf being on our trail for a bit now…" He said glaring at InuYasha and the burn and tattered village. Kisame finally got what he was saying," clever trick you did there. And all we have to do is to capture the nine tailed brat…" He said. And with that they both disappeared into the forest…

"Me lady we have a person who wanted to see you right away!" Shizune busted through the door interrupting Lady Tsunade with the piles of files that need to be stamped. Usually she doesn't want to be interrupted form her concentration but hopefully it's a good one…

"What is it Shizune?!" barked Tsunade. Shizune stutters for a bit since she was startled by getting yelled at by Tsunade.

"W-well a survivor from the Hidden East Village came and-"

"Wait, a 'survivor'?" She asks. Shizune nodded her head in response. Tsunade was shocked that she didn't hear from anyone about this since they are the Leaf's neighboring village. The man barges through the door stumbling.

"H-he did I-it… t-that monster d-did it?" Rambled the man. They could tell he was traumatized from the massacre by his eyes wide as ever. He was covered in scratches and wounds from the previous battle. Many were slain and he managed to get out alive.

"Who did it? Shizune call the medical unit stat!" Tsunade ordered.

"Yes ma'am." and with that Shizune left the office immediately.

"The b-boy in a red k-kimono… he has long w-white hair and…and…!" The man couldn't finish his sentence since he was on his last leg.

"And what!? Tell me dammit!" Roared the angry woman who was treating the man with her medical jutsu.

"Dog ears…" He breathed out. Tsunade was silent for a few seconds, not wanting to say what she intended to say… She wants to throw all her anger out on the man but found out he was too injured and is on the verge of death. She was so frustrated that she threw her desk out the window with her super strength. That…startled the man, and the people outside…

"Don't screw with me dammit! You're saying a boy with dog ears destroyed the entire village? Even with the military unit?! That's impossible! If this happened is the boy still there?"

The man was silent while looking at the big gaping hole in the middle of the wall. He didn't notice that Tsunade grabbed the collar of his clothes… He looked her into her eyes with fear.

"If I find out that you have been toying with me, I swear I-" And as soon she was about to finish her sentence, the medical unit came in with Shizune. As she came in they all saw Tsunade grabbing that boy by his collar, a missing desk and a hole in a wall…

"Lady Tsunade what happened?!" The work must've really strained her out… I knew I should've taken her to get something to drink to ease her… Tsunade let go of the boy and got up from the ground.

"Take him away from my site and call up Team Kakashi for me!" ordered Tsunade. Shizune followed her orders and left the building once again searching for the first person she sees… Sakura Haruno…
