Rock versus Adamant: The True Axe Returns!
Inuyasha was thrown back by another heat wave emitted from Axe's giant stone weapon. "Damn, he IS just like Bankotsu, he's just a human so my backlash wave won't work on his aura, even if he is being manipulated by Naraku." The half-demon spat as the pirate captain charged him.
"DIE Inuyasha!" The black jewel in his neck pulsated again as he slammed his weapon down on the Tessaiga, the two large weapons making static as they collided.
Inuyasha managed to push the weapon off and dodge it before it cam crashing to the ground. Feh, if Naraku keeps using the same tricks to try and beat me, I can defeat him the same way I did before. To beat Bankotsu all I needed to do was take his jewel shards. I'm not sure if this Axe guy is a specter or not, but if I can get those jewel shards out, he should be weakened. He sheathed his sword and stared his opponent down.
"What's wrong Inuyasha? Giving up?" Axe taunted evilly.
"Hell no! Iron Reaver Soul Stealer!" Inuyasha attacked with his claws, aiming for the man's neck. Upon contact the claw made a loud CLUNK sound. The white-haired half-demon quickly pulled his hand back after is strike, holding it in pain. "What the hell was that? It felt like I was hitting a stone wall…"
"Close enough. Kachi Kachi no… Bazooka!" Axe's hand turned into solid stone, which he then rammed into his opponent's gut, sending him flying back a few feet.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed, watching him hit the ground hard, spitting up a small amount of blood.
"Master Inuyasha!" came a small voice from Kagome's shoulder. "This man must be a master of the iron body technique!"
"Myoga?" Inuyasha stood up slowly, wiping some blood from his mouth. "I guess if you haven't run away yet, then I must have a decent chance of winning this battle." He joked.
"This is no time for jokes Master! The iron body technique is usually only shown in demons, I have no clue how this man learned it! Even more so, I've never seen someone, especially a human turn their whole fist into stone, it's something out of this world!"
Inuyasha stared at his grinning opponent, who was allowing Myoga to explain his techniques before attacking again, a sheer sign of arrogance. There was no doubt this person was being influenced by Naraku. "So what you're saying is, as long as he has this iron body thing going for him, I can't get to his jewel shard?"
"Correct Master, your claws just aren't hard enough in order to break through his skin." The flea responded.
"Well then," The half-demon pulled out his large sword again, holding it diagonally at his side. "We'll just have to try something harder." The Tessaiga pulsated, turning into a crystal-like sword. "Adamant… BARRAGE!" As Inuyasha swung the sword, spears of diamond-like crystals shot out at Axe, who covered his body in the stone similar to his arm, only to be barraged by the adamant crystals.
The pirate captain fell to his knees and reverted back to flesh, numerous small cuts across his body from where the attack managed to scrape the stone, but no severe damage was inflicted. Chizuru watched in horror as the two battled. "This isn't like the captain at all… what's going on?"
"Damn, didn't finish him off, let's try it again." Inuyasha swung the crystal sword a second time. "ADAMANT BARRAGE!"
Axe winced, recovering from the shock of the first attack and preparing for the second. "Soru…" the axe-wielding pirate disappeared into thin air.
His half-demon opponent blinked. "…What the hell just happened?"
-------------------------------------
Devon stood with Hakudoshi in a mountain mansion, Saimyosho buzzing all around them. The Demon stared at the large, green, pulsating gelatinous egg in front of them in the hall. "So this is Tschimaru?" He questioned Naraku's white-haired incarnation.
"Yes, this is my brother. Naraku says he will be stronger than any previous incarnation, including myself." Hakudoshi replied, not even trying to hide the resentment in his voice.
"I take it you wish to rebel against Naraku then?"
Hakudoshi looked towards the Saimyosho and sighed. "Of course not." As long as the Saimyosho were there he couldn't talk freely or else Naraku would hear as well.
"I'm amazed at how much power one shard of the jewel has given me, I wonder how strong Naraku is with almost the whole thing." The Demon smirked, not caring about Naraku's poisonous insects overhearing.
The pale-skinned boy was about to say something when he was interrupted by a rustling and moaning sound from inside the egg. "Hmm… he's almost ready…"
-----------------------
"What's wrong Inuyasha? Can't keep up?" Axe reappeared behind the dog demon hybrid and swung his axe downwards, opening a long gash down Inuyasha's back. The half demon fell over, writhing in pain as the black-haired captain hefted his Axe high into the air for the final blow.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed and readied her bow and arrow. She aimed for the enemy's neck. If I can hit the jewel shard, maybe I can purify it and release this guy from Naraku's control! She fired the Sacred Arrow at the pirate, only to have him disappear again, the arrow continuing into the trees behind them.
Axe reappeared a few feet from where he was standing before. "Hmph, can't have that now can we?"
Kagome gasped. "He's too fast, as fast as Koga, maybe faster, I can't hit him while he's moving like that…"
Chizuru thought to herself and bit her thumb as she watched the events taking place. "I need to think of a way to get the captain back to his normal self. Something to distract him." She looked around and her eyes rested on Kagome. "Captain! Look how short that girl's skirt is!" She sweatdropped, hoping this last ditch effort would reach the real Axe.
Kagome blushed at this comment. "Huh? Wha?"
Axe turned to Chizuru in confusion. "What the hell are you talking about?" he looked towards Kagome. "WOW! That is a short skirt!" The captain's evil sounding voice changed to his regular perverted on as he practically drooled.
"Now's your chance girly! The arrow!" Chizuru shouted to Kagome.
"Uh… right!" She readied her bow. "Hit the mark!" She fired another Sacred Arrow, this time making contact with Axe's neck. It's force wasn't enough to make more than a knick in Axe's neck, but it's aura was enough to change the jewel's color from a dark purple to it's ordinary light pink.
Axe blinked, looking around to Inuyasha, bloody and broken on the ground, to Kagome pointing her bow at him, and to Chizuru, who was shaking her head, muttering: "I'm kind of embarrassed that worked."
"What the hell did I do just now?"
---------------------
"Fire Bombs? Amateur… Screaming Mushrooms? Juvenile… Smashing Top? Lacks creativity." Dusty searched through Shippo's bag of tricks.
The two had settled themselves and worked out that neither of them were a threat to the other. "How dare you insult my Fox Magic!" Shippo protested. "I'm the leader of a highly trained band of warriors! A half-demon, a priestess, a monk and a demon slayer, and of course Kilala here." Shippo crossed his arms and nodded in an overconfident manner.
The fox girl sweatdropped. "Why do I have a hard time believing that you little runt?"
"It's true! You've proven yourself strong demon girl, you may have the honor of joining my party and becoming one of my vassals like Inuyasha and the others."
"For the last time! I… AM… NOT… A … DEMON!" Dusty shouted, glaring at the small fox.
"Fine, if you don't want to join our quest and hunt down Naraku." Shippo crossed his arms and looked away offended.
"Naraku? Is that some type of fruit?"
"Naraku is the powerful demon who wants to destroy Inuyasha and the rest of us and take the sacred jewel of four souls."
--------------------------------------
"Jewel of four souls? Like a treasure?" Niri's eyes glinted as she listened to Miroku explain.
"The jewel of four souls is a great and powerful treasure that can grant demons and humans great power. This does not come without a price however, along all of our travels, we have never heard of one story where someone has found happiness because of the jewel , only pain, suffering and death. It has a great potential for evil, only a priestess with strong spiritual powers can purify the jewel, so far the only ones we've met who can do so are Kagome and Kikyo, one of whom is our traveling companion."
"Maybe this Naraku guy is the one who brought us here, with all this crazy stuff it's safe to say there's something supernatural going on here." Kirsty sighed.
"I'm not sure even Naraku has the power to cross through dimensions. He's strong but not that strong." Sango replied.
"So what do we do now?" Niri shrugged.
"We should regroup with Inuyasha and the others and figure out what to do from there." Miroku stood up from where the four were sitting, causing the other three to do the same. "You ladies go first, I'll… bring up the rear…"
With three loud sounds, Miroku had a large bump from Sango's boomerang, a smaller bump from Niri's pistol and a red mark from Kirsty's hand. "You first, monk." Sango muttered.
----------------------------------
Devon walked through the forest, swinging his swords at stray branches. "Hmph, why did Naraku send me to do this? Guess I should have been a little more careful around those Saimyosho."
----flashback-------
Devon continued watching Tschimaru inside the egg until he heard a voice behind him, snapping around quickly and ready to attack. In front of him, he saw a man dressed in baboon skin that spoke in Naraku's voice.
"Come young demon, I have an assignment for you, to test your loyalty." The baboon skinned man then looked to Hakudoshi. "Come with me." He nodded and the three of them took off out of the mountain mansion.
----end flashback-------
The Demon came to a small clearing in the wooded forest. He saw two people there, a boy and a woman. As he approached, the two turned around to look at him.
"DEVON!"
"Hello… Kit." Devon smirked, red eyes gleaming and raised his swords into a battle position.

Dusty: Dev.. Don't you remember? I dare you to pull on my ears like you used to!
Devon: I will kill you and get the sacred jewel from Naraku!
Kagome: Next Time! Devon's Betrayal! See ya soon!
Dusty: Devon! Remember your Nakama!
