Disclaimer : I do not own InuYasha

Dust entered into Kouga's throat making it dry instantly, he coughed several times to get rid of what had entered his lungs from the sharp intake of breath that he had taken when he landed. He looked to his right to see a spear several inches from his head, any closer and he would have died instantly, "Well that was lucky," he said to himself and then started to stand to locate the others, who to his relief were all alright only a little bruised and dusty if anything.

"Is everyone alright?" Miroku asked.

"Ya I think so…"mumbled InuYasha as he removed a dagger that had penetrated his blood red kimono almost coming in contact with his chest. Sango used her Hiraikotsu as support to stand, this was going to be a harder battle then they all had thought. Then she heard a chuckle that was making its way into a laugh.

The eyes and smile that was once located above them was now being slowly replaced by the real Lunius. He was laughing, a laugh that seemed foreign to his lips, it sent chills down their spines like a cold night breeze it made the group feel completely uneasy. The laughter started to subside and he spoke, "I don't know what's funnier, you thinking you can defeat me or the fact that my idiot of a Brother thought that you could." He continued to chuckle to himself.

"He's cockier then InuYasha and Kouga combined," Sango said to Miroku a little ways behind him.

"Agreed," Miroku nodded. However this might work to their advantage if they were lucky.

Although the demons heard the remark said by their human companions they seemed unfazed. They had one goal and nothing was going to distract them from it, to kill.

Lunius looked down to the small group, he had finished laughing but a dumb cocky grin was still plastered to his face. "As you may have noticed I have closed all the doors to make it impossible for you to leave and for any one to come to your aid. So let the fun begin!" Like before the attack of the shadow raven came thundering down to them but this time they were ready for it. They all jumped out of the way with ease to safety.

With the speed of the wind Kouga ran towards the floating man, and jumped into the air and with one powerful kick to Lunius's chest he sent him flying towards InuYasha. Lunius was in shock he couldn't believe what he saw, his thoughts were racing, "That speed, I have only seen that speed in one other man, no way could they have…they wouldn't…"

"Burn!" InuYasha yelled as he swung his blazing blade at the man coming towards him in hopes to cut him in half. But to his disappointment he only met air.

Lunius recovered from his shock towards the wolf demon as he saw the blade of that hanyou covered in an undying flame. "They made it to the Elements; my Brother must have helped them get there. Who knows what the Elements gave these four I must find out what gifts they possess…" he thought to himself trying to keep the feeling of bile from reaching his throat, the thought that the Elements would give demons let alone humans the time of day was just plan nauseating. Not to mention the pang of jealousy that he couldn't help but feel banging at his chest asking to rip them apart just for being able to see those who had created him.

"Not so great now are ya there dark boy," mocked InuYasha, he was so close to him and he knew if he got that close once he could do it again.

"InuYasha, don't mock what you don't know," Miroku warned, "We have yet to see his full power yet." Miroku knew something was wrong when he saw the shocked expression on Lunius's face when he saw Kouga's speed. "Lunius is not a dumb man in fact he probably knows that we now of the gifts we posses," he continued, "Everyone be on your guard."

"Like we weren't before?" huffed Kouga, he had respect for the monk's intelligence but common knowledge didn't need to said.

Lunius saw how the group seemed to bicker and took his chance and dove at the Monk, take out the brains of the group and the body is lost. But he was stopped, instead of going forwards he was know going side ways and into the wall. "The girl…" were his last thoughts as he seemed to melt into the dark wall.

"Where is he?" Sango asked, "I know I didn't kill him…" But oh how she wished that she did.

"Figures," InuYasha stated, "he probably ran away with his tail in between his legs."

"Wrong! It is you who will be running and begging for your life!" Lunius then came out of InuYasha's shadow throwing a punch that landed on InuYasha's cheek; the blow sent the hanyou soaring into the Wolf Prince. But the momentum of InuYasha was too strong to stop there they both flew half way across the room into the wall, a small crater was created and neither demon was moving.

"Kouga! InuYasha!" shouted Sango as she ran towards her fallen comrades, they would get up they had to. Unfortunately in her scramble she didn't' notice a pair of red eyes that had turned to her.

Miroku watched the scene start to unravel before him, as Sango ran Lunius seemed to appear right behind her, the midnight sword that he had seen the first night they had met him was in his hands and the dark blade seemed to pulse for the need of blood from Sango's chest. "Sango!" yelled the Monk. His anger and passion swelled up inside of him, anger towards the enemy and his love for the Demon Slayer, he needed to protect her now. His staff at his side pulsed with power and wisdom, "Poison Spears!" he yelled and swung his staff towards the man. As he swung his staff seemed to rapidly grow large thorns from its depths. The thorns, which were red at the tips and faded into green, sliced through Lunius's armor like butter and hit each shoulder arm and leg, Lunius flew back wards and disappeared into the darkness once again.

Sango turned around just in time to witness the attack she could hear the hiss of poison eating at flesh and the smell of burnt skin. She then looked at the monk with wide eyes, he had unleashed his Elemental power and he had done it to save her. She could still feel the pulse of Miroku's staff and the anger still evident within his eyes. After giving him a quick smile for thanks she resumed her quest towards the demons.

When she got there she could hear them moan in discomfort, "Guys common get up this is no time to be dramatic! Lunius has now seen Miroku's attack and I guarantee he now knows where we got the gifts from" she hissed through her teeth.

"You mean the Monk figured out his power before I did?" Kouga was shocked that was something he had not expected.

"Well that's something I didn't see happening," InuYasha stated in the same shocked voice as the wolf entangled with him.

"Less talking more getting up!" Sango barked at them again, she knew Lunius was going to strike again soon and it was more then likely going to be the Demons sprawled on the ground entangled in each other limbs.

The two men got untangled rather quickly, thanks to their experience with the Kaze and Kaen, but it wasn't fast enough. Lunius appeared several feet in front of them a knowing smile on his face, but his appearance wasn't what Sango had thought she would see, he looked perfect. But how could this be she had seen and heard the poisonous thorns hit and eat at his flesh and here he was standing in front of her with no scratch on him.

A/N: I know its short but it has action and hey look at that Miroku got to use his new power!
