Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha

(However all the attacks are mine:D)

How could this be? It couldn't be possible, could it? Sango watched as he started coming towards them sword drawn ready to kill the next living thing that came across his path, which so happened to be the entangled demons. An evil grin spread across his pale face. "How dare he! Does he have no honor!" Sango thought while grinding her teeth in anger. "Hitting InuYasha from behind and now this, this was an all new low for this monster! He may not have marks from Miroku's attack but damn it he's going to have some now!" Sango was livid, the fact that he could get such joy at other people's suffering was enough to make her feel ill. But he was coming and coming fast, just like he did when he went after Kagome and she just stood there. No she wasn't going to let that happen again, she wasn't going to just watch the people she cared for get killed, not again! Then she felt it, the same sensation that she had felt when she was angry at Kouga but this was stronger. A pulse of energy was being emitted from her Hiraikotsu and cool water was dripping down the back of her legs. With all her might she threw the Hiraikotsu straight at the man charging straight towards her.

Lunius dodged the swirl of blue coming straight at him with ease and snickered, "That was pathetic," and continued on his path of death as if nothing had happened. Then saw the look in the slayer's eye, she didn't intend to hit him. He then felt the pulse of her and her weapon; it felt strangely familiar to him.

"Revenge of the Tide!" Sango shouted while throwing up her arm in front of her, palm facing Lunius fingers spread. She was calling her weapon back to her; the droplets were now replaced by streams of roaring water. However the water seemed to stay connected to the boomerang as if pushing it forwards faster and harder to its destination.

Lunius's eyes went wide, the Water element, "Figures she would get this gift," he thought to himself he put up his sword to defend against the attack which hit him dead on. He struggled but it was to no avail he was being pushed back, he had nothing to brace himself, he was losing. His sword went soaring in the air and landed in between the newly separated demons who looked at the sword, that just missed them, like the plague. The water engulfed him throwing him this way and that, knocking the air from his lungs and depriving him from it.

The group watched as the dark lord swirled inside the whirlpool which was slowly disappearing. Everyone watched in amazement at the violent attack which so resembles Sango's anger. The water finally subsided and seemed to seep threw the cracks in the floor but Lunius was no where to be seen as if he had disintegrated.

The two demons were still on the ground now untangled but were in shock by two factors. Factor one, two humans figured out their attacks before they, two powerful demons did and two the power behind them was unnerving. They all, including Miroku, made a mental note not to piss off Sango. Kouga and InuYasha finally stood up eyes on Sango who suddenly dropped to her knees in exhaustion, at the same time her Hiraikotsu fell to the ground still spinning.

"Sango," they said in unison and started running to her to see if she was ok.

"I'm alright," she said softly, "it was more then I expected that all. Where did he go?"

"I don't know," Miroku said still running towards them, "but he has now seen two of four gifts, so I am guessing after you two." His eyes shifted to his fellow male companions.

"Speak of the devil," growled InuYasha, Lunius seemed to be sitting on an invisible chair above them all. Then he noticed something strange, after that attack he just took he should have had some physical evidence on him, torn cloths, blood but there was nothing. "What the hell?" he said more to himself but this statement did not go unheard by the others.

"He did this after he was attacked by Miroku too, I don't understand…he should be maimed and slowly dying of poison but there's nothing…" Sango said seeming to go off into her own thoughts.

InuYasha then looked over to the fallen Hiraikotsu; there were still a couple water droplets falling off the side. Sango needed her weapon back. He started running towards the boomerang that seemed to be right under Lunius.

Lunius looked down at the sad attempt of the hanyou trying to retrieve his friend's weapon. That little attack didn't need to happen again and taking out the hanyou with it would make matters that much more interesting. Lunius's eyes flashed to black and a black ball of energy was sent hurtling towards the unsuspecting hanyou below.

"Move it Dog Breath!" Kouga yelled as he started running at top speed towards InuYasha he had to make it in time, he was the only one who could. He felt a tingling sensation coming from his legs as if something was trying to get out then everything seemed to move in slow motion all except for him. Lunius's eyes were now on him however they were still black and InuYasha was now looking towards the attack above him but neither seemed to be moving. Around each one of his legs there was wind swirling and picking up more and more speed. It was like he had unleashed a hurricane from his shins and it was encircling his body, and he was eye of the storm. Kouga leapt into the air towards his target, "Strike of the Whirlwind!" he yelled as he did a round house in midair connecting his powerful blow to the side of Lunius's head. A sickening crack echoed through the dome, it was Lunius's neck and he was flying towards the ground at speeds only Kouga could see. His eyes had also turned back to their original red colour.

The once ball of black energy that was about to collide with the hanyou was now gone. InuYasha didn't know what happened but was glad that it did, and without giving it another thought threw Sango her weapon and then they heard it, a blood curdling pop like something was being dislocated. At first InuYasha thought it was Sango from catching her weapon but she didn't look like she was in pain but then who? Then a noise of something heavy falling on the ground behind him caused him to look around. Lunius was lying in an unnatural position his head one way his body another, he wasn't moving.

Kouga landed in front of the body and kicked a near by bone at the unmoving body and turned to his comrades as he did the wind that he had created during his attack finally caught up to him Lunius's body went sliding across the ground and landed in a pile of bones, "Now he's were he belongs surrounded by the death that he had caused," Kouga thought as the wind seemed to play with his hair behind him. The others sheltered their eyes from the on slaughter of dust that was just created but it died down quickly to their relief.

"What did you do Wolf?" InuYasha ordered not understanding what he had just seen.

"I saved you what's it look like you ungrateful half breed!" Kouga's voice boomed back at him.

"Why in hell would you do that?" InuYasha asked he didn't understand it.

"Kagome would never have forgiven me if you had died and not tried to save you, I did it for her. If it was up to me I would have let him kill you," Kouga turned away from InuYasha looking towards the heap of bones where Lunius had gone, he could never live with himself if he had caused Kagome grief and could have stopped it. Then a cocky grin appeared on his face, he had used his gift before the Mutt had. "Besides I got to use my gift and what a rush!" Kouga ran over to InuYasha in a blink of an eye and wrapped his arm around his shoulder, "So when do you think you are going to show us your gift? Or can you? But I guess it doesn't matter seems that I killed Lunius anyways. Now let's go back to my women!" he boasted and turned the angry Hanyou towards the door in which they had entered but it was still closed and more then likely locked.

"As much as we all would love for that statement to be true Kouga I don' think he is dead," Miroku chimed in looking around him ready for the unexpected. "Something doesn't feel right." Sango turned to him concern written on her face mentally agreeing with him something was wrong.

The once angry and cocky expressions that were on the demons faces vanished into ones of concern, was he still alive? Kouga took his arm from InuYasha's shoulder and returned it to his side but no sooner had he done this motion then they were both flying in opposite directions by a blast that happened in between them. Being caught off guard the most the demons could do was a back flip in the air and land on their feet ready to attack waiting for the dust to clear. Lunius was standing where the explosion had occurred.

"Did you see that?" Miroku asked Sango.

"Well it was rather hard to miss; it sent Kouga and InuYasha flying in different directions," Sango said annoyed as if she was blind enough to miss an explosion like that who did that monk think she was?

"No not that, Lunius. He's withstood mine, yours and now Kouga's attack and there is still no evidence on him that we have even touched him," the monk said urgently, they needed to figure out what was going on soon, they need to find his weakness or they wouldn't last much longer, let alone Kagome.

"Yes I did, he seems to vanish into the darkness and then comes back untouched," she said, as she watched the demons attacking Lunius she should be helping them not talking.

"That's it!" Miroku beamed, "Sango you're a genius!" he said as he hugged her causing a blush to appear on her cheeks. "Kouga! InuYasha! Don't let him revert back into the dark he regenerates there making our previous efforts in vain."

"Why prevent him from doing that when I can just kill him now!" InuYasha yelled back. Alright he needed to learn his gift and he needed to use it now, Wolf Boy could do it so then he should be able to do it to, right? He dove at Lunius their swords clashed, flame vs. darkness.

"Cheap trick," growled Kouga baring his fangs and claws. As if this coward would be so cheap as to not face them head on he had to use tricks to heal himself. Miroku and Sango, who had ran over to his side, agreed this man was a monster.

Meanwhile Lunius was looking into the golden orbs of the boy in front of him. "I need to see his gift, until then I don't know what I am truly up against," he thought to himself, "But how to trigger it?" then it came to him. He could see the torment in his foes eyes screaming out at him for his death and all because of that teenage girl he had cursed. A smirk came across his lips and he pushed the hanyou to the ground and jumped at him but InuYasha blocked his sword that was about to cut him in half, the swords were in the shape of a cross. Then Lunius leaned closer so only his opponent would hear him. "That one woman you were with that night was beautiful," he whispered knowing full well he could hear him since his face changed from anger to hatred, "I think that after I kill your friends I will take you with me to my Brother's house who more then likely is weak from helping her and slaughter him. This will cause the world to go into complete darkness and then she will be plagued with the worst thoughts imaginable all her nightmares will come true and you will be only left to watch helplessly knowing you could not save her because you were too weak. It's your fault she will suffer."

"Don't you dare touch her!" he screamed at the man only inches from his face and with new found strength pushed the man backwards several feet.

"Seems I have struck a nerve," Lunius said playfully then thought, "Good I can feel his sword and him pulsing in unison it won't be long now."

"You will regret the day that you ever saw her!" he bellowed once more, the Tetsusaiga flames started to grow and the heat could be felt by the others on the other side of the room.

"Yes InuYasha is going to hit him with his gift," Sango stated happily, maybe this will kill him she hoped.

Miroku grinned at this thought then noticed something Lunius was smiling, he wanted to get hit! Miroku's own grin fell when he realized what Lunius's plan was all this time. "He's been buying his time learning our attacks, and once InuYasha attacks him then he gains the upper hand!" he thought to himself and then shouted to InuYasha, "InuYasha No! Don't do it!" but his words fell on deaf ears, the hanyou was too far within his rage to even notice the other.

"I can feel it, I can feel the blade calling me to use the attack," InuYasha thought to himself, and he began to raise his blade to strike.

"What's wrong?" Sango asked wondering why in the world would Miroku not want InuYasha to attack their enemy.

"Don't you see? Lunius has been playing us for fools! He's been letting us use our gifts so he would know what he was up against and then know how to avoid it. We can't let him see InuYasha's gift, if he does then were done for," Miroku said urgently as he saw Sango's eyes grow wide and then whip her head towards InuYasha and watched him raise his sword to attack.

Kouga had heard what the monk had just said and not even his speed would make it to the Mutt in time to stop him. "InuYasha no!" he yelled hoping that something in that nut head of his would stop him from bringing down that attack. As a leader he knew that once your opponent knew your tactics it was harder for you to defeat them since they knew what to expect and would be able to work around it. If that idiot unleashed his attack then this battle would become harder then ever, if not impossible.

"Yes, that's it now attack me, and all your hopes of saving your friend will be gone," Lunius said to himself.

But these words went unheard by the hanyou, all he could hear was his heart pumping wildly against his chest and his thoughts screaming at him to kill. He didn't see his friends yelling for him to stop, he didn't see Kouga start to run towards him all he saw was Lunius's smirk and kept hearing him say, "It is your fault she will suffer." No he couldn't let that happen, Kagome will live! "Inferno Blade!"
