Chapter 14: Monster

Inuyasha dug his razor sharp claws into the ground. He could feel the power, the burning sensation to spill blood; the urge to kill. He let out a soft low growl as he tried to strain himself down. He wasn't going to give in to his unwanted desire, he was going to try and toughen it out, but he couldn't do it alone. He need the Tetsaiga to transform back, the only issue was that he had left the Tetsaiga back with Kagome.

"Damn" he snarled, a little surprise to see him having some control of himself. What was he going to do? How would he get his sword back, Kagome had probably run off by now.

"Um…excuse me, have you seen my daddy?" asked a small voice. Inuyasha's head snapped around quickly, his blood shot eyes eyeing the child. She had pigtails, wearing a light pink kimono, her face was round, and it looked soft. Skin, soft skin…

"Um…mister…are you okay?" asked the little girl. Inuyasha could feel his inner demon pushing him. He wanted to tear the flesh from her bones, he wanted to watch her blood spill to the floor, he moved closer to the child. He wanted nothing more than to see her die. Kill her said a voice, Kill the girl, let her blood taint your skin…kill her… The voice told him. The little turned and started to run away but Inuyasha pursued after her. Swinging his claws at the little missing every time until finally he trapped her against a giant tree, he lifted his right arm about to attack and kill her but the girl's frantic cry for her father caused him to stop. He stared at the little girl, only it was a little girl he was staring at, no it was he. He was a child, crying for his mother, but it was no use. His mother was dead, yet he continued to cry for her help. His image of himself as a child disappeared and the little girl continued to cry. Kill her, shut her up! KILL HER! The voice shouted, Inuyasha could feel his hand moving forward to kill the girl but he forced it back with his left arm.

"R-run!" he shouted, the looked up in confusion. She was sure he was going kill her

"Hurry up and go! I can't hold for much longer!" he yelled, the little girl nodded and dashed off. Inuyasha released his arm, his goal was to refrain from his desire to kill, but it was no use. His desire had kicked in. He had lost all control, Inuyasha was gone and the monster inside him released.

Kagome moved around frantically trying to bring order to the village. It had just gotten attacked by Naraku's demons and the fight wasn't over yet. She was busy trying to figure out if her plan would really work. Her main goal was to keep the villagers safe, she was also happy to know that the men of the village agreed to help fight, each of them knowing that their lives could very much be lost. It would also be a lot easier on Sango seeing that she normally would be doing most of the major fighting. Sango was indeed tough, she had the skill to fight off many demons but not on her own. She had defiantly grown in strength and seemed determined to win this, they all were. Kagome was given the duty if looking after the injured, Miroku especially. His condition was worsening and she knew how much it hurt Sango to realize that he was dying. Kagome and Keade were doing all they could to help heal Miroku but according to Keade that kind of spiritual power took him.

"Kagome" called Sango, Kagome turned to face her friend. She was dressed in her usual demon slayer uniform and she carried her Hiaikotsu with her. Her face seemed to have a little comfort, but her eyes gave off nothing but seriousness and hidden sadness.

"Yes?" asked Kagome,

"Everything is set, were ready" said Sango, clutching tightly to her Hiaikotsu. Kagome nodded,

"Good, I really hope this works" she said, Sango took Kagome's hand.

"It will, we got every perimeter set up with people to fight, all the traps and poisons are in place. We can't lose" said Sango reassuring her. Kagome smiled,

"Yeah, you're right" she said, Kagome couldn't quite clasp it but she felt like things were only going to get worse. Nothing was going to go right, nothing. Many people were dying from open wounds, some of them she could there bones. One man was sprayed with an acid by a demon and his skin was slowly being eaten away. Another man was lucky to live even after he lost both his legs and part of his left eye. She had seen many others; elders, women, and children die right in her arms. She couldn't explain the feeling she got when she saw the light in their eyes slowly fade away.

"Sango, you should start head-"she stopped when she heard loud screams coming from behind.

"No, it's too soon!" Kagome panicked

"That can't be Naraku" said Sango, getting in a defensive position.

"I'm afraid I don't understand" said Kagome, not sure what Sango was getting at.

"The villagers knew what do if Naraku was attacking, we had everything planned out. Whatever is attacking isn't Naraku" said Sango, Kagome grabbed her bow and arrows and ordered Keade to look after the injured. She ran quietly by Sango's side and felt a twinge of terror strike her as they reached the bloodbath.

"Oh my god" Sango gasped as she placed on her mask to shield her nostrils of the atrocious odor of the rotting corpses that lay before them. Kagome covered be mouth as she gasped when she saw Inuyasha holding tight to a man's next. His shirt had been torn off and his rippling muscles were tainted in blood. His eyes were demon like, jagged like stripes painted the sides of his face. He held an evil playful grin as he snapped the man's neck with a single flinch of his hand. He let the body drop to the ground, letting out a small chuckle as the body fell with a hard thud.

"Hello Kagome, Sango" he said, a grin on his face as he turned to face them. Sango moved her Hiaikotsu in an attack position.

"Sango what are you doing?" Kagome asked, worried and confused.

"I don't Inuyasha in there at all, if he attacks, I'm going to fight back" she told her, Kagome stared back at Inuyasha. Sango was right, Kagome knew Inuyasha was still there, but she knew if he attacked they would have no choice but to fight back.

"Heh, the Inuyasha you knew no longer exists. He's gone and he's never coming back" he laughed,

"That's a lie! Inuyasha, the real Inuyasha is still in there and he will come back!" Kagome protested, glaring at him.

"He always thought you were a fool. Heh, I'm done talkin', I want to hear you beg for mercy" he growled running towards Kagome.

"Stay away from Kagome!" yelled Sango kicking him back.

"Feh, I've always admired your will power Sango" he said, slowing getting back on his feet, his body was slouched over slightly like a zombie coming back from the dead and his hair covered his blood stained face. "And I've always wanted to be the one to bring it down to size!" he yelled as he swung his claws at her. Sango blocked the attack with her giant boomerang, striking Inuyasha with an attack of her own but it backfired when Inuyasha jumped over her and grabbed her throat. Sango gasped for breath as she dropped her weapon to desperately try and remove Inuyasha's hand. He tightened his grip on her,

"Awe, what's the matter Sango? I thought you weren't holding back?" he chuckled,

"Inuyasha stop it! You're going to kill her!" Kagome cried, "Try and remember that she is your friend!"

"I have no friends!" he growled, about to snap Sango's neck but was stopped by a long object cutting between the two. Inuyasha released Sango and held his arm, cursing at the burn on his wrist. He looked over at the object, it was Miroku's staff. Inuyasha let out a nasty snarl as stared at Miroku who was now on his feet.

"You will not hurt her" Miroku stated,

"Heh, what's a weakling human like you gonna do about it?" Inuyasha asked, Miroku eyes tighten as he took out sutras from his sleeves.

"Those things can't stop me" Inuyasha laughed, Miroku didn't seem to care. He threw the sutras at Inuyasha causing him to get distracted. Miroku dove quickly for his staff, fighting off Inuyasha's angry attacks. He could feel Inuyasha's pain every time the demon touched the monk's weapon.

"Inuyasha stop! You're only hurting yourself!" Kagome shouted,

Inuyasha ignored her and continued on attacking, He wanted to kill and he was going to kill. All he could think about was Miroku's blood all over him. He wanted to tear apart his flesh with his claws. After every blow Inuyasha felt himself weakening, Miroku did his to push back Inuyasha's attacks. And even though he was weakening, his attacks were still strong. The monk tried to run in a different direction to try and trick Inuyasha but tripped over a corpse lying on the ground.

"Damn" Miroku muttered as his staff flew out of his hand.

"Miroku!" called Sango running towards them.

"Stay back!" Miroku ordered, Sango ignored him and continued to run.

"Stay where you are or I'll kill him" Inuyasha warned, not bothering to look at her, his eyes were fixed on Miroku.

"Please don't hurt him" Sango cried, staring into the eyes of her lover. Inuyasha seemed to have noticed the two staring at each other.

"Heh, love, a dreadful bond" he stated, "All love ever does is hurt you" he snarled.

"You're wrong" said Sango, Inuyasha turned to face her.

"How so?" he asked, seeming interested in her answer. Sango stood trembling as she saw Miroku slowly getting up getting ready to attack Inuyasha from behind.

"You're right, love does hurt, but when you really find that person you know that really find that person you know that you'll go through anything to be with that person. You have someone like that, Inuyasha" said Sango; she narrowed her eyes at him. "And her name is Kikyou."

Inuyasha flinched at the name, Kikyou…no, she's gone…

"I don't know what you're talking about" said Kikyou, hiding her trembling fear by a wall of blankness. Naraku's eyes glistened with delight, there was no doubt he had figured out Kikyou's secret, but so long as she did not admit to it she should have been safe, at least that was what she hoped for.

"Very well, I may have accused the wrong person" he said, he brushed his hand on her face. "Your eyes just express so much familiarity" He said, gazing deep into her eyes. Kikyou gazed back helplessly mesmerized by how innocent his eyes looked. She saw terrible longing to be loved in his eyes, sadness, loneliness…

"Nariko" said Sesshomaru, trying to capture her attention but it proved useless against Naraku's stare. Could it possibly be true that Naraku truly loved Kikyou? That the heart of bandit Onigumo still had feelings for the young miko? She felt sorry for him; could it be that all he wanted was to be loved by someone?

"Nariko, we have to go now!" I smell blood, lots of it" Sesshomaru growled, Kikyou clamped her eyes shut and ran away from Naraku. She did feel sorry for him, but she could never forgive him for what he had done to her. Quickly she followed Sesshomaru,

"Do you think it's him?" she asked,

"No doubt" Sesshomaru replied, running quickly. Kikyou took a deep breath; she knew what she had to do.

"She's nothing to me" Inuyasha stated,

"Lair, you love her and you know it" Sango said, "You need to try and remember her!" she yelled,

"No, I don't need love, love holds you back, and I don't need happiness!" He snarled. Sango stared deep into his eyes.

"Sango's right! Remember, remember the moments you and Kikyou shared" Kagome shouted,

"Inuyasha I know how you are feeling, I know what-"

"Shut up!" Inuyasha interrupting Sango, "You don't know what it feels like to lose someone you love, to lose that person who has completely taken over your heart. You know nothing of the pain I feel!" he growled, he then stopped and twitched his ears; he knew Miroku was behind him.

"Heh, now I will teach you, you can't just witness someone else loss, you can only feel it!" he snarled as he grabbed Sango's katana and dug the demon slayers sword through the monk's heart.

"Miroku!" Sango's sorrowful scream filled the stormy night.

"Miroku!" Kagome cried as she leaped out at Inuyasha trying to fight him off. Sango crawled over to Miroku who was bleeding heavy amounts of blood. Sango hovered over him and the sword.

"M-Miroku you're g-going to be okay" she cried, desperately trying to stop the bleeding; Miroku caressed her face.

"Remember what you promised me" he said, Sango burst into tears.

"No! You're not going to die! You're not going to leave me!" she sobbed, placing her hand over his wound. He lost massive amounts of blood each time he breathed.

"I love you Sango" he said, his eyes slowly closing. Sango felt his body go limp,

"No! NO!" she cried, "Miroku please wake up! You can't leave me!" She screamed, shaking his corpse. Frantically she put her lips to his, hoping he was just playing around and that he would pull her into his arms and everything would be fine. But it wasn't, Miroku was gone, she held his body close, crying to herself.

"Sango look out!" screamed Kagome, Sango looked up and saw Inuyasha with her sword about to stab her. Sango didn't move, instead she stared up at him in sadness. She now knew the pain Inuyasha was feeling. She wanted to hate him but she couldn't. The real Inuyasha would never commit such a crime, no he would never hurt his friends. The person she hated was the demon controlling him.

"Sango run!" Kagome shouted, she didn't run. She wouldn't run, she would leave Miroku. Inuyasha glared at Sango and lifted the sword. Sango prepared for her death as Inuyasha was about to swing the sword.

"Inuyasha wait!" shouted a voice; Inuyasha turned his attention to the girl. It was Nariko; she was standing by Sesshomaru, a scared look on her face. Inuyasha turned back around to Sango, ignoring her.

"Don't do it, Inuyasha" she said, Inuyasha turned to face her again.

"What the hell do you want?" he snapped,

"Don't you remember me?" she asked,

"What are you talking about?" he asked,

"You once told me you would become human for me, you said that to me" she said, Inuyasha stared at her in confusion.

"It's me, Inuyasha" she said, "It's me, Kikyou."

What did you think?

I promise not to keep you waiting too long this time DX
