Tari here. Here's chapter 3. I tried to put in more action because I know that's what people wanted. Haha! Anyways, I hope you enjoy it.


Inuyasha looked at Becca through the corner of his eye. She seemed perfectly normal now. He remembered seeing her in the clearing, that apparition swirling around her.

It was telling Becca to let it out of somewhere. Was Becca keeping it prisoner? But it hurt her. If she was keeping it prisoner why didn't she just let it go so it would stop hurting her.

Becca looked at Inuyasha and said, "Is there something wrong? You've been staring at me for the past two minutes."

Everyone stopped walking and Kagome looked at him and snapped, "Inuyasha! Really! You're worse than Miroku."

"Hey!" Miroku interjected.

Becca didn't stop watching Inuyasha.

"I wasn't staring at her because of that," Inuyasha growled in reply.

"Then why would you do that?" Kagome yelled.

"I was watching her because I saw-" he stopped. Becca's eyes had widened slightly before going into an unreadable mask.

"What did you see?" she asked simply. Coldly.

"Nothing."

Becca stepped forward and asked with an evil glint in her eye, "What did you see?"

Inuyasha swallowed. He was going to reply that he saw nothing again when he saw the apparition from before through Becca's eyes. It was watching him, an smirk on its face.

"That," Inuyasha whispered.

Becca stepped back, the apparition gone. A look of horror crossed over her face and she said, "Perhaps I should go."

Kagome looked at her and said, "What? You just got here. Besides didn't we agree that it would be faster finding Naraku if we worked together?"

Becca glared at her, pale, and snapped, "It's dangerous to have me around. At the moment I think Miroku and Inuyasha are correct in their suspicions. If you found out what I was… what I've done… then you would all want me dead. I… I don't want… to hurt anyone else…"

Kagome looked at her, confused, and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Miroku swallowed and said, "Then it's true."

Becca looked at him and Kagome asked, "What's true?"

Miroku said, "That there's something living inside her. I felt something strange. Like Becca was a cage. Remember me saying it? I think a demon is living inside her. Possessing her."

Becca turned away from the ground. She stared at the ground for a moment before replying, "You're wrong. I'm not possessed."

"You don't smell like a demon though. And you look 100% human," Inuyasha input.

She looked back over her shoulder and said, "That's because I am human. And demon."

Everyone looked confused and startled. So Becca faced them and explained, "I was born to two completely human parents at the same time that another child was born to two completely demon parents. The two couples approached each other, wanting to conduct an experiment. So they took the two newborns, and connected their souls. The bodies morphed together, creating a monster. A creature that was 100% demon AND 100% human. That's me."

She swallowed as if saying this hurt her body. She rubbed her arms and looked at the sky as she finished, "One side of me wants nothing more than to be human. To have friends, family, and love. The other side is a monster. A monster with such power that could destroy everything in its path if it were released. It hides inside me. Every day it hurts me. Wanting to be let go. It wants to kill."

Becca looked at Miroku and silently as him to retell the story of Jack. He told them about his murder, and how Becca had seen it, and how she had killed them.

Then suddenly Becca said, "What I didn't say was that I let my inner monster out for their deaths. She killed them. She let them linger and suffer. I was so afraid by her power that I fought against her. I fought against my own body. Our souls are intertwined, so every time I bound her tighter, and locked her away, it hurt me.

"I could go off at any moment and kill you all. It's dangerous to be around me. So you see, I need to be on my own."

Kagome put her hands on her hips and said, "Get over it. You're stuck with us. We may have just met you but already you've opened up more than Inuyasha."

"Hey!"

"But anyways," Kagome continued, ignoring Inuyasha's angry outburst, "From what it sounds like you may be dangerous. But doesn't it hurt more when you're alone? Wouldn't it be better to have friends to take away some of your pain? I'm okay with you staying with us, despite the danger. What about you guys?"

Shippou instantly shouted, "I'd be happy to let her stay with us."

Miroku then said, "It may be dangerous, but the more beautiful women the better."

Kirara rubbed against Becca's legs, purring.

Inuyasha looked hesitant. He was the only one that saw that monster. She wasn't in chains either. She seemed more free than everyone realized.

Kagome smacked his arm.

"Ow! What was that for?" he screeched.

"Well? Don't you want to have her around? She's nice isn't she? Don't you like her?"

"Depends. Is that a trick question?"

"Sit boy!"

Inuyasha did a face plant.

"We'd love to have you around," Kagome said, sitting on Inuyasha's back.

Becca smiled slightly and said, "I suppose… I will stay with you… if not for a little longer. I can't contain her forever though. One of these days I will not be able to hide and she will win. At that point you must kill me."

"We won't have to," Kagome said, "Because she won't win. You will."

Miroku froze when he heard a chuckle. A shiver ran down his spine. It hadn't come from Becca. It had come from within Becca. Then he dismissed it. No point in worrying about what you can't change.

After that, in a couple of days they reached the town.

"Hey guys," Songo greeted her friends, walking up. She had all her demon hunting armor on and her large boomerang weapon attached to her back. When she saw Becca she drew it and asked, "Who's that?"

"She's a new friend. She's also looking for revenge from Naraku. Her name is Becca," Kagome replied.

"She has a very evil aura. Where did you meet her? She has darkness behind her eyes. What are you?"

Becca sighed and turned away. "Someone else can tell her. I'm tired of repeating myself."

Kagome, Inuyasha, Miroku, and Shippou all did their best to explain who and what Becca was to Songo. When they were done she looked slightly irritated and confused.

"Why are you looking for Naraku?" she asked.

"He killed Jack. Weren't you listening?"

"Yeah, I heard that park. But why Naraku?"

Becca span around and grabbed Songo by the arms, lifting her in the air. Becca's eyes turned coal black and she hissed, "I loved Jack more than anything. Naraku took him away."

Songo narrowed her eyes and said, "Why don't you kill yourself then?"

Becca dropped her and stumbled backwards. She sat down and cried, "Because I'm afraid. Jack is dead, so if I die… I'm afraid of what he'll say to me. Jack was very peaceful. He disapproved violence, even for his own sake. I'm afraid of what he'll say to me for all those people that I've killed. I'm afraid."

She held her face and sobbed.

Suddenly, a whirlwind came out of nowhere and started sweeping through the town. It lifted buildings, it tore up trees, and it spun people around. It swirled around the group and then dissipated. There was nothing left but the group standing in a clearing.

Standing across the clearing was Sesshomaru.

"Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha snapped.

"Inuyasha. Are you ready to hand over the sword and the Shikon jewel?"

Inuyasha drew his father's sword and growled, "No. But I am ready to-"

He was interrupted by Becca shoving past him. She approached Sesshomaru and stood a little in front of him.

"You are Sesshomaru?"

"Yes I am."

"Do you remember me?"

"No."

Becca's face contorted with rage and she shrieked at him, "If you're going to kill Jack then at least have the decency to remember it."

"Jack? Oh yes. Now I remember. The weak fool that kept you from transforming into a more powerful form. A more useful form. I see you still fight even though it's useless."

Becca took a step forward, her fury evident in her movement. "You deserve nothing but death. Why did you kill Jack?"

"As I said. He kept you from transforming."

Becca roared. A snarl ripped its way up her throat and through the air. She dashed forward and grabbed a hold of Sesshomaru's neck. "Any last words before I tear your head off?"

He didn't even try to get away, instead he smiled. "Yes actually," he said. He looked down at Becca's form and laughed, "Jack didn't love you."

Becca looked startled, hesitating on the kill. "Wh… what?"

"Jack. Didn't. Love. You. He stayed with you out of pity. He kept saying how you would kill yourself if he ever decided to leave you. Being such a nice guy he pretended to love you so you wouldn't die. He didn't want to have your death on his conscious."

Becca released Sesshomaru's throat, tear welling up in her eyes. She was in shock. She fell to her knees, crying. She kept gasping out, "Didn't love me? He didn't love me? I don't understand. Pity?"

Sesshomaru kicked her to the side and Becca lay where she landed, unmoving. "Now that she's out of the way. Inuyasha, give me the sword and allow me to kill you."

Inuyasha stepped forward, whispering to Kagome, "Kagome stay back. I'll protect you."

Kagome nodded and turned to Shippou. "Let's help Becca."

"Yeah." Shippou nodded.

Songo stepped forward like she was going to help Inuyasha but he quickly snapped, "Help Kagome and Shippou. I will handle Sesshomaru."

Miroku stepped forward and said, "Shouldn't I just use my wind tunnel?"

That's when Naraku's bugs came out of nowhere. They were just waiting to poison Miroku.

Miroku nodded when he saw the look on Inuyasha's face and followed Kagome, Shippou, and Songo to Becca.

As Inuyasha fought they all knelt over Becca.

Kagome shook her shoulder and said, "Becca. Are you alright? Snap out of it."

Becca kept muttering to herself, "Didn't love me. Pity. I loved him. How could he not love me? I don't understand. Didn't love me?"

Miroku pushed Kagome aside and said, "Let me see if I can help." He bent over, getting closer and closer to Becca's face. At first there was no reaction, so Miroku leaned closer and pressed his lips against hers.

Her eyes went wide and her fist swung up and punched Miroku away from her.

"Ow," he landed on his butt.

Becca was breathing heavily, anger seeping out of her pores. "He did love me. He said it every day. If he stayed with me out of pity then it wouldn't have mattered to him whether he said it or not. He was nice. He wouldn't have broken my heart. He would have told me the truth. HE DID LOVE ME!"

She jumped up and sprinted towards Sesshomaru. Everyone gasped when two large black wings sprouted from her back. Becca's skin darkened until she was jet black. If it were night she would have blended so well they couldn't see her.

Inuyasha froze when he saw the sharp teeth and claws reaching for Sesshomaru. Her eyes were like black diamonds and one long horn stuck out of her forehead.

"DIE!" she screamed. Inuyasha jumped back as she grabbed Sesshomaru. Her claws dug into his flesh and her teeth grabbed his throat. She tore and ripped, blood flying everywhere.

Sesshomaru let loose a blood curdling scream. He had never felt such pain. He was losing enough blood to feel weak, but not enough to die. He so wanted to die that that very moment. He kept screaming, his voice getting quieter and quieter.

Becca looked him in the eyes and he saw that it wasn't Becca he was looking at. He was looking at a monster. Becca was chained in the back of her eyes. Becca looked up and gave a sympathetic smile. "I'm sorry," she mouthed, before he was consumed.

The monster Becca ripped his head apart and crumbled the bones. In the end, there was hardly anything left of Sesshomaru.

The now blood spattered creature turned towards the group. She licked her fingers, a smile crossing her face. She looked evil.

She chuckled and said, "Now you all see how I look. I'm free. Becca's anger let me go. Her lust for revenge. Hahaha! Would anyone else like to go next?" She looked straight at Kagome as she said, "Perhaps the girl that wanted to keep me in check. To HELP Becca."

Inuyasha jumped in front of Kagome and snapped, "You'll have to go through me."

"Alright, I'm flexible," was the reply. She leaned forward on her toes, crouching slightly, and said, "Well? Come at me."

Kagome grabbed Inuyasha's sleeve and snapped, "No. You can't. Becca is still in there."

The monster's lip twitched and she snarled, "Yes of course. Don't fight me. Let me kill you all without a fight just because you're worried you might hurt Becca. You don't even know Becca. You just met her. Come now Inuyasha. Have you gone soft? I could teach you about being a real demon. That's what I am. I could help you become the full-fledged demon that you wanted to become."

Inuyasha hesitated.


Alrighty then. Well that was chapter 3. I will continue to write whether people like it or not because I really need to get this out of my head. On the other hand, you can make it better by rating. I love it when people rate. I can even add in characters. When you review, tell me a name and whether or not you want it to be a good or bad person, and I will add them into my story. Just give me names. I just want to get some feedback from you guys. K? Thanks!
