Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha however everything else in this story is mine!

The Tetsusaiga flared out around InuYasha and the heat could be felt by the others across the room. Then a stream of fire erupted from the end of the Tetsusaiga and zigzagged towards Lunius. As soon as it came close Lunius it split in two and encircled him so any chance of escape was lost. The fire continued to swirl around Lunius swirling inwards destined to destroy whatever was inside its circle of death. Then it hit Lunius and the fire engulfed him instantly, burning flesh could be smelt as well as a scream of pain could be heard echoing off the walls. After several seconds of torture the flames erupted like a bomb sending Kouga flying back into Miroku and Sango. Several seconds later the heat subsided and the flames had completely disappeared, the only thing left behind was a circle of ash. The Tetsusaiga's flame went back to its original size, InuYasha released the breath of relief then swung his sword over his shoulder and sauntered over to his comrades a cocky grin plastered on his face.

"You idiot!" roared Kouga springing from his awkward position on top of Sango and Miroku, "Why the hell did you do that!"

InuYasha just stared at Kouga like he had two heads, "Wasn't that the point of coming here to destroy Lunius, and save Kagome? Well I would have to say I did what we set out to do and now that it's done lets get the hell out of here!"

"That's not what Kouga means InuYasha," Sango began on a lighter tone then the raving wolf demon, "Couldn't you hear us calling you?"

"Keh," InuYasha shrugged, "It's not like its important now anyways, besides Wolf Boy here is just jealous."

Miroku jumped in front of Kouga to stop him from jumping and strangling the hanyou. "InuYasha you didn't destroy him."

InuYasha chuckled and then started laughing, "Don't you see the ash? Lunius is dead, I killed him now stop fooling around and let's leave." As InuYasha turned around he heard a soft noise coming from beneath him. "What the hell?" he said while looking directly below him, that voice. It couldn't be, he saw the ash, he heard the screams, this couldn't' be possible!

A large explosion filled the room scattering the group like before, Lunius was laughing in the centre like always. "Thank you for playing into my hands, now that you've had your fun it's time for mine." Like he had done before he was completely healed, it was as if the battle hadn't started. An evil grin spread across the man's face as he flashed to his left to see Miroku leaning on his staff coughing out the dust that had just entered his lungs. In a flash Lunius was behind him, "Looks like you need a good pack on the back," Lunius said behind him, and then with unbelievable force sent him hurtling towards Sango, landing several feet in front of her.

"Miroku!" she cried seeing him wince at the pain as he landed on the hard ground. She looked towards Lunius with determination in her eyes as well as hatred, "Revenge of the…"

"Not this time my dear," Lunius whispered into her ear from behind her ,he took his sword from the shadows and with the speed of darkness with one fluid movement threw the Hiraikotsu to the side as well as slicing a chunk from her left arm disappearing to his next target. This caused the slayer to fall to her knees with shock and pain, holding her arm watching the blood trickle down in anguish. How could she have let him get that close to her without her knowing? However she was thankful since it was only her left arm not her right, if she got the Hiraikotsu back she would still be able to throw it.

Miroku, who was left only to watch since he couldn't move from the breath being knocked out of him, ran over to her side in an instant. "Sango! Are you alright!" his eyes were full of worry as he gazed into hers searching for pain or discomfort of any kind.

"I'm alright, it's a small cut I'll be fine, I just want my weapon" she replied taking a big breath standing up, "Out of all that I have killed I think this one will be my most enjoyable so far." Miroku nodded at her side, as they looked around to find where the Hiraikotsu had landed, their eyes fell on it lodged in a wall half way between the floor and the roof, and they couldn't reach it if they tried.

On the other side of the room the demons weren't having the best of luck either. The only thing that Kouga could do was dodge the attacks. "You're going to trip up sometime Wolf," smirked Lunius.

"Damn it he's right," thought Kouga, "I can't keep this up forever, I need a plan!" he was screaming at himself to think of anything, something to just get on the offensive, they weren't doing so well on defense. Unfortunately for him the former happened before the later and he was just a fraction to late to dodge the last attack. Lunius's foot connected with his face throwing him to the ground hard, and skidding into a bunch of skeletons as a result of his former speed.

Bones and dust went everywhere. As a skull rolled in front of InuYasha's foot he stopped it breaking it with a sickening crunch, his fangs were bared. "How dare you," he said threw clenched teeth. He charged at Lunius but he was too fast for him, in less then a second Lunius was behind him and his sword was threw this shoulder.

InuYasha fell to his knees in pain; Lunius drew out his sword and looked around him. "You all are as pathetic as the real elements….not being able to work together in a crisis…and I don't even have to pretend to be you!" he spat.

"Elements…that's it!" shouted Miroku, "We need to work together like Lumius said"

"I thought that's what we were doing?" said Kouga flicking another bone off of himself.

"I mean our gifts, we have to attack at the same time," Miroku explained.

"Understood," InuYasha said wincing a bit from the pain in his shoulder from the weight of Tetsusaiga. The others nodded in agreement. "Right let's do this," InuYasha said as he attacked Lunius, but as to be expected Lunius completely dodged the attack with grace only a man who could jump from shadow to shadow could posses.

"Well that attack was in vain," chided Lunius.

"Was it?" smirked the Hanyou, Lunius gave him a quizzical look then followed his gaze to his right. As he turned he was just in time to see Kouga race up the wall diagonally grabbing the once lodged Hiraikotsu throwing it to Sango who caught it with her right arm leaving her left limp at her side.

Lunius couldn't believe it; he didn't see this coming at all. How dare they do that to him. How dare they have elemental gifts, they were below him, those gifts should be his!

"Something wrong?" smirked InuYasha.

"I think he's afraid," continued Kouga.

"He should be," InuYasha said, "This battle just went up a level."
