This chapter is for you -Key of Minds- (you will understand why later on..haha)
Disclaimer: InuYasha doesn't belong to me
Lunius looked around him, Miroku to the north, Sango to the east, Kouga to the west and InuYasha to the south. Could it be possible he underestimated these four? NO! It was impossible, there was no way they could defeat him. Then he noticed it, the four warrior's auras start to pulse with anger in complete unison. Anger that they had kept dormant for years, centuries. His eyes kept shifting from one opponent to the other. Tornadoes appeared around Kouga's legs and started glowing pure white like the aura that surrounded him. The flame of the Tetsusaiga doubled in size and the aura around InuYasha turned blood red. Miroku's staff started to grow vines weaving and entwining there way around the staff, he to was surrounded in an aura but his was forest green. The Hiraikotsu which normally just gave off little beads of water were replaces with steady little streams and instead of just forming a puddle the water started flowing towards Lunius. Sango's aura was now aqua.
A twitch appeared in the corner of Lunius's right eye, everything in his muscles told him to disappear into the darkness where it was safe but his over grown pride wouldn't let him. His mind was in a battle of itself, he was losing it. "You shouldn't have received those gifts!" he shouted at them, "They should belong to me! I was the one who worked so hard to become strong enough for those unappreciated elements. One small request for all my years of loyal service to them and what do I get in return? Nothing! And yet they give you, two worthless humans and two mangy canines' gifts!" Lunius's red eyes seemed to be popping out of his head, he looked insane.
"Lunius your several eras old, grow up!" yelled Kouga.
"You weren't man enough to handle it then and you aren't man enough now," InuYasha spat.
"Now!" yelled Miroku, as Kouga started running at Lunius. "Poison Spears!" as Miroku yelled this several hundred spears flew past Lunius and immerged with Kouga's tornadoes.
The other three got the hint. Sango threw the Hiraikotsu so that on the return should control it so it would be directly over Kouga. "Revenge of the Tide!" she yelled opening her palm towards Lunius like before. But instead of streaming out like a huge wave it also went into the tornadoes giving Kouga that much more speed.
InuYasha aimed for Kouga's legs and yelled, "Inferno Blade!" and swung his gigantic sword. The river of fire zigzagged towards Kouga spiraling in towards his legs.
It was now Kouga's turn to add to the mixture of gifts that were flowing around his legs. "Strike of the Whirlwind!" he yelled as the tornadoes started to grow from the wind pouring out of his legs into them. The mixture of attacks was complete.
Kouga leapt up into the air at Lunius. Lunius stared at the attack coming at him in horror, he needed to do something or he was a dead man. He swung at Kouga with his mighty sword; however Kouga ducked and kicked Lunius in the face, all in one motion. The attack hit Lunius dead on as Kouga's foot moved out of the way and the Hiraikotsu soured over him.
Sango caught the Hiraikotsu and Kouga was right back were he started from; the diamond formation was completed again. The group watched as Lunius was first hit with the spears from all angles shoulders to ankles making a hissing noise as soon as it connected with flesh as the water pushed them through to the other side while forcing the freshly made wounds to expand. The fire then filled these holes licking at the already poisoned flesh. The cries of pain echoed off the walls shaking the room, it took all the groups strength to just stand. Finally the wind started to encircle Lunius at great speeds causing the flames to grow bigger. The once cold, dark and damp room was now full of light, heat and humidity.
Suddenly the winds changed taking the elements with it, which let the group get a glimpse of Lunius. His chest was bare and he pants were almost reduced to shreds. His skin was chalk white and festering where the spears once were. His black blood ran down his body dripping from his finger and feet in a steady flow. His eyes were wide but the pupils were tiny and he was breathing was sharp and rasp. They watched as he lifted his head to see the attack that was coming for him again and closed his eyes in defeat.
It all came on him in a one blast of raw power and was driven into the ground, several seconds past of the elements driving him further and further into the ground, no one was sure whether or not the room would be able to support the tremors coming from the centre of it. Then instantly it was quiet, nothing moved, the only sounds they could hear were their hearts beating. No one moved, no one breathed, they just listened.
"Is it over? Did we win?" asked Sango looking from one man to the other.
"I'm not sure looks like it," said Miroku.
All of them started walking towards the crater which seemed to be what all was left of Lunius. They all looked into the depths of the crater nothing could be seen or heard. Silence.
"Hey Miroku, how did you know to put all the elemental gifts into my tornadoes?" asked Kouga.
Miroku put his hand behind his head and laughed sheepishly, "Oh that! I missed Lunius it was by pure chance that that happened." The monk continued to laugh as the rest of the party just hung their heads with the exception of Kouga.
"You mean you could have killed me Monk!" snarled Kouga clenched his fist towards Miroku. But whatever was going to happen to the monk was quickly forgotten as a large explosion of pure black shot from the crater throwing them all back hitting the ground hard.
Lunius was back, however he wasn't cool and calm and cocky this time he was completely insane. His once smooth ivory skin was burnt beyond belief; his eyes seemed to be possessed by the darkness that he created. "Don't let him go back into the dark," yelled Miroku, "We don't want him to heal again!"
InuYasha jumped at Lunius but Lunius put up his hand and sent a wave of power at the hanyou. "You can't defeat me!" bellowed Lunius as he hit the warriors away like bugs. "You can't defeat me! I am Lunius! I am the ruler of darkness! No one can stop me! No one!" he laughed hysterically as he watched the pain on their already tired faces.
"He's gone mad," said InuYasha,
"We can't even get near him," growled Kouga.
"What now?" asked Sango taking her eyes off of Lunius for a second to ask her comrades.
"Nothing, because you are nothing!" spat Lunius, "I am immortal not even the elemental gifts can kill me. I am untouchable!"
"That can be changed," said a voice from somewhere above them.
"Who said that?" asked Lunius searching the faces of his enemies. But they two were looking for who the voice belonged to.
"You haven't forgotten us have you?" said a cocky voice.
"The Tetsusaiga, its talking," InuYasha said shock written all over his face as he stared at the weapon in his hands. Then the flame of the Tesusaiga flared and jumped off the sword.
"What are you doing dog breath?" demanded Kouga, if he was going to mess this up for Kagome he would hunt him down and re-kill him in the after life.
"Don't look at me I didn't do it." InuYasha shot back, as if he would do this!
Then the tornadoes from Kouga's legs appeared and started to swirl away from him into one and started to grow bigger as it moved towards the flame which was also growing. Once besides each other the flame was now the size of a person, they all stared in aw as the flame seemed to be burning out from the bottom to the top but as it did so revealed a person, once it was complete the Fire Element stood where the flame once was. The tornado, which was to the right of the flame, started to spin faster and faster until it suddenly stopped, leaving the Wind Element whose hair still slightly blew in the direction the tornado once did.
"Kaen, Kaze, you were the voices?" asked InuYasha completely surprised, this was the last place that he would think to see them.
"We have come to fight for the women we love," Kaen announced heroically as he and Kaze stared down the man before them.
"Not so fast," cooed a voice coming from Miroku's staff. Then vines emerged from the staff and started to creep along it then to the floor, growing rapidly into the shape of a woman. They then seemed to rewind this action but left behind the Element Earth.
Meanwhile Sango could feel her feet getting wet. She looked at her Hiraikotsu; water was streaming off of it towards Miroku. Shortly after The Earth Element revealed herself the water seemed to freeze making a sculpture of another woman, as soon as all the water went to the sculpture the ice shattered revealing the Water Element to left of Earth
"Well Kaiyou and Koudo sure can make an entrance," stated Sango.
"I'll say," agreed Miroku.
"What are you two doing here?" asked a surprised Kaze.
"We couldn't let you two have all the fun now could we?" said Kaiyou with a wink.
Kaen smirked and nodded while Kaze was grinning from ear to ear.
"But how? Why are you here? Why now!" stammered Lunius.
"We now know it was you who stole our weapons, it was you who used them against us, it was you who turned us against each other. It's because of you we were along for all those years!" Kouda stated her eyes wide with new anger; death was in her eyes as the ground shook beneath them.
"We saw and heard everything from the eyes and ears that we gave our gifts to," explained Kaze.
"They are far from beneath you Lunius," spat Kaiyou, "they have shown us the truth and what it's like to truly care and believe in one another. If anything they are above you."
"No one is above me! Not even the likes of you!" shouted Lunius as he sent a blast of darkness at Kaiyou. But before it even reached her Kaze had already picked her up and gotten out of the way.
"Kaze?" said a surprised Kaiyou just staring at the man in front of her for answers.
"Forgive me for not believing you, I love you and I have missed you so much," he apologized.
"All is forgiven, as long as you forgive my actions as well," she cooed.
"Done," he said as the boyish grin returned to his face once again.
Meanwhile Kaen looked over to Kaze to see if he had made it safely when suddenly twigs and bark were flying at him, "What the..?" he started when he realized that there was a wooden shield before him which had saved him from a blast from Lunius. "I…uh…thanks," he mumbled.
"Your welcome," Koudo said a small smile gracing her face.
"And I um…I'm sorry…" he said quickly.
"I know so am I," she said calmly as her smile grew.
"Good" smirked Kaen, "Now li'm up for a little revenge what about you?"
