"Hey Dante I got 2 questions for you"
"Ok Inuyasha shoot"
"Shoot what?"
"Just ask theme"
" Was it wise for you and me to go by ourselves and leave the three girls to themselves and did that weird kid you mentioned earlier wield a naginata?"
"Trish and Lucia can handle them selves and protect Kagome and yeah he did come to think of it I also think he came in on a large demon horse why think you know him?"
"Yeah his name's Hakudoushi he's one of Naraku's incarnations"
"How many does he have?"
"Including him 3 living the other two are this wind sorcerers Kagura and Kanna she can use her mirror to put people with weak minds in a hypnotic trance"
"I think I might have met this Kagura already"
'AND YOU DIDN'T KILL HER!?"
" Its not my style to kill women when theirs no need besides…."
Dante looks up to see the leviathan, which dives down toward them
"Ah crap not again"
The leviathan shallows them both and flies up into the sky
"Well aint this lovely Inuyasha remarked"
"Come on we better get to the heart so we can kill this thing and watch out for stomach acid"
A little while later they reach the heart and destroy it the leviathan crys out in pain as it dies and falls down landing with a thud.
Sango and Kirara turn to see the dead leviathan and approach it with caution, the leviathan's eye begins to bleed until a big gash rips open and Dante and Inuyasha jump out of the eye covered in its blood
"Inuyasha what the heck how did wha who is this guy?"
"Dante this is Sango and Kirara, Sango and Kirara Dante"
"Yo"
"Before you go on don't you think you might want to wash up"?
Inuyasha takes a look at him self then jumps into a near by river then gets out and shakes himself off while Dante just gets his hair wet
Kagome Trish and Lucia burst in on the scean over hearing the commotion
"Inuyasha are you alright?"
"I'm fine Kagome that overgrown fish was pretty weak when it came to its heart"
Inuyasha's nose catches whiff of something "Oh perfect"
"Whats with you?"
" I smell a MAJOR pain in the ass heading this way"
Kouga followed the scent trail past a lake, only to find Inuyasha and Kagome across the way. Did I have to run into that mutt? Damn mutt. And he's got a new playmate too. Not resisting a chance to needle Inuyasha, and continue his quest to win over Kagome's heart, Kouga promptly set across the lake and stopped right next to Kagome, taking her hand in both of his. "Ah, Kagome. It's been a while. How's the mutt been treating you?" He said, not quite smirking at Inuyasha
"Kouga nice…to see you too" she said sweat dropping
"Whose Cyclone boy?"
"Just some scrawny pathetic wolf "
A vein in Kouga's forehead twitched and he clenched his fist, reining in his already rising irritation. "Who's scrawny and pathetic, mutt-who-can-barely-protect-himself-let-alone-my-betrothed? You're lucky the monk and the demon hunter go around everywhere with you, otherwise I might have had to take Kagome with me so she wouldn't get dragged into one of your fights."
Either this guy is delusional or can't take no for an answer Trish thought
Inuyasha makes a smirk hearing Koga's commit and can't wait to see the look on his face when he shows him his new power
"Can you still talk big after seeing THIS?"
Inuyasha turns into his devil trigger form
Kouga raises an eyebrow, perfectly concealing his shock and disbelief. "So, someone taught you a new trick. You'll be able to go to Edo with the repertoire you've built up. I can see the banner now, 'Come one and all to see the Mutt! He knows tricks just like a domestic!' And I can still put you in your place anytime, mutt."
Dante Shrugs at Koga's stupidity
"You have no Idea what the heck he just did do you its a special ability demons and half demons have its called devil trigger basically its when a demon or half demon turns into their demonic form"
Just then Inuyasha goes back to his regular form
"And as you can see there's a time limit oh and nice try hiding the fact that you can't do it"
The new guy was pushing it, and Kouga had a response to fire off in his anger.
"Why would I want to do something as limited as that? And I do happen to be a demon, even if I don't completely look the part. I'm perfectly fine with my own two feet and claws. And I don't think I've ever had to go to the point where I had to exhibit my swordsmanship."
Kouga places a hand on the base of the hilt of his katana.
"Mutt wouldn't stand a chance while he swings that oversized great sword when he can't even wield it properly. He's lucky he knows the wind scar, for crying out loud! That old forger was right when he said that the Tetsagia was little better than a big log with a nifty trick in the mutt's hands. That he's lived as long as he has is a miracle in itself..."
Kouga trails off, containing his laughter over what he just said, then he straightened his face and realized he didn't know this new guy, but he recognized the scent from the burnt clearing.
"Just who are you, anyhow?"
"Dante the son of Sparda welcome to boot camp"
Dante takes out a white training orb and throws it at Kouga who is instantly absorbed into it and transported to what appears to be a torture chamber
"Why are you helping him?" Inuyasha said in an angry tone
"With the Force Edge gone we need all the help we can get"
"Feh I could handle this all by my self"
"Yeah whatever"
Kouga's eyes opened wide.
"Where the hell am I? Hey! I was tracking down someone! Dean, Dan, whatever your name is, I need to be back where I was! And what the hell does boot camp mean?"
Dante's voice echoes throughout the room
"Basically it means welcome to your training course, sorry but once your in the orb there are only 2 ways out either you finish the course or the orb breaks and you die trust me you will need this training the demon known as Naraku has made a deal with a VERY powerful demon named Mundus if he were to flick you you'd be in a coma this isn't just a fight against Naraku you and Inuyasha's group are in its now a fight against hell itself"
"There are 3 tests you need to complete Strength, facing your inner demons and using all your power in a hopeless situation and my name is Dante"
Kouga frowned. Hell itself?
"Bastard... Sounds idiotic, but alright."
Just then Beowulf jumps out of now where makes a fist and trys to punch Kouga
"Gah!" Kouga exclaimed, then propelled himself above the strange beast with a rapid pump of his legs, and then flipped into a gravity kick aimed for the neck.
Beowulf cried out in pain and lunged at Kouga
Koga smirked, that was exactly what he wanted. He waited until the last moment for the creature to come within range of his plan, then used a knee-smash to the chin, followed by a combination of high and low kicks intended to wound and confuse opponents, making contact with every sharply placed roundhouse. Pft. This guy's pathetic. And even dumber than the mutt. This is no challenge for me... He finished off the creature within a ringing sky kick, sending the creature ten feet into the air then leapt up behind to crush its spinal cord with a fierce crippler punch
"Your stronger then you appear take my soul and do with it as you please"
Beowulf then turns it to a pair of gauntlets and greaves and they start to spin around Koga until they attach themselves to his arms and legs
"Eh?!" Kouga lands on the ground and stares at the new gear for a moment before looking up with a feral grin. "What's next? I've got to see what these things can do. If nothing besides make me look even cooler for Kagome while I kick that stupid mutt's butt."
Meanwhile
"Come on Rin we need to hurry if we are…. LORD Sesshomaru!" Jaken cried out running up to him then glanced over at the man wearing a blue coat white hair "Who are you?" The small demon demanded
"Vergil"
Hmm his heart seems cold and ruthless just like the lords and his power is even a match…. no, no, no what am I thinking no one is more powerful then lord Sesshomaru
Arakam appears before them riding a giant gigapeide
"Sesshomaru son of Inu No Taishou... Naraku sends this invitation for you please accept it"
A cloud smoke appear and a pack of 20 blood-goyle's appear out of it and start to peck at Sesshomaru and Vergil
Both Vergil and Sesshomaru draw their swords and dispatch the blood-goyle's in a matter of seconds
"Whoa that was great lord Sesshomaru, lord Vergil"
"Cut the lord crap" He told Rin as he withdrew the Yameto Katana
Kouga is teleported to a room made of mirrors the odd part is theirs only one reflection of him and its black
Kouga looked around, confused. "What do I do?" The black reflection seemed odd, it seemed to be becoming more solid with each passing second. That's weird... Did it just move on it's own?
The black reflection of Kouga smiles an evil smiles and steps out of the mirror
So that's how it is, eh?" Kouga lashed out with a lightning fast slash kick
The doppelganger laughs as the attack goes right through him
"How do you expect to avenge your clan when thats the best you got?"
Kouga twitched, getting angered at the image's audacity. "How dare you mock me!" He lashed out again, this time aiming for the head in a potentially devastating snap kick
The doppelganger blocks the attack and pushes it back and Dante's voice suddenly fills the room
"This battle is more mental then physical Koga your words of reaction to what the doppelganger says will make him either weaker or stronger"
What's that supposed to mean? Kouga paused after he landed on the wall following the doppelganger's counterattack. "I don't understand. What is meant by that?" He launches a new attack, this time from below, sweeping with his leg and upper cutting viciously at the same time.
"That was weaker then the last one no wonder Kagome prefers that mutt"
Kouga was set to explode on the shadow, and then the meaning of Dante's words dawned upon him.
"..." He said nothing and continued his attack chaining several kicks and devastating punches, unrelenting in his will to defeat this mockery of himself.
Suddenly the mirrors around them begin to crack and the doppelganger seems to be cracking as well
"If you can't defeat Kagura how will you defeat Naraku?"
With that the doppelganger charges at him
Kouga brushes off the comment, and waits, snapping off a perfect spin kick to send the doppelganger into one of the mirrors.
The mirrors and the doppelganger crack to the breaking point
"Awww your pussy side taking over so you can't think of anything to say? Wuss!"
Kouga would have snarled, but suddenly, he didn't need to, as his final kick crashed into what felt like simple hardened clay
The mirrors and doppelganger shatter and Kouga is teleported to what looks like the courtyard of Naraku's castle and the body's of his dead comrades are scattered everywhere
"What is this!?" He snarled at the reawakening of his memory, angered by the toying going on directed at himself.
A fake Kagura appears and unfolds her fan
"You!" Kouga snarled out, before lapsing into his whirlwind of speed to attack.
The fake Kagura made a small twister around Kouga stopping and paralyzing him then she used her Dance of the dead to bring back the dead wolf demons then they each draw their weapons and surround Kouga
"Tell me Kouga why is it you never use that sword of yours?"
Kouga grinned, "I might show you, I might not." He broke through the paralysis using the shards in his legs as his power base, and then used a sweep kick to send half the surrounding defiled corpses flying. "Prove to me that I need to use it, you fake." His voice became a low growl.
"Whats the point your dead ether way"
Kouga's fallen comrades surround him and impale him with their weapons
"Its over Kouga you have failed"
Just then the pupils in Koga's eyes dilated and his body began to pulse with a demonic aura that pushed back the undead wolf demons he slowly began to walk towards the fake Kagura as if he were half dead then he let out a roar and for the fist time went in devil trigger mode (He looks like a werewolf in his devil trigger form)
The improved Kouga stood and flexed his now completely fur covered muscles, which had doubled in size. His mouth became elongated, more like a wolf, and he grinned ferally, teeth gleaming.
"You're mine, whore of Naraku." He let out a bloodcurdling growl and attacked, appearing above the fake Kagura in a flash and slashing her fan into ribbons, following up with a powerful kick from a newly clawed and enlarged foot, directly into the neck, snapping the spinal cord.
The doppelganger died and Koga turned back to his normal from and was teleported out of the orb as it shattered
"Finally what took you?" Dante asked
Kouga frowned, annoyed. "I was bored in there, so I decided to make it more interesting by toying with the puzzles. Can't a wolf demon get some enjoyment out of training?"
"Anyway here a list of moves for the Beowulf" Dante said handing him the list
Lucia appears at Inuyasha's side
"What?' He said in annoyed tone
"Creep.." She muttered. "Whats your problem?"
"Feh, your the one who's acting weird"
"What did I do to act weird?!"
"Going up to me side with an odd look in your eye for one thing"
"I'm warning you, you don't want to make me angry."
"Why what are you going to do?"
Dante takes out an something and blows it into Inuyasha's face
"Gahhhh WTF is that?!"
"Air horn"
"Well don't do it again or I'll!"
Dante blows the air horn in his ear
"THATS IT!!!!!!"
Inuyasha Scratches Dante's face with his claws
"Hey pal these good looks aint cheap Punishment!"
Dante takes out the dog whistle around his neck then blows into it and both Inuyasha and Kouga cover their ears in pain
"Opps sorry Kouga"
"Heh looks like Dante has it in for you" remarked Sango Kirara just mewed in agreement
Think of it as his needed training"
"Whats that supposed to mean?"
"Oh nothing nothing at all"
Trish let out a laugh
"...So...Kagome...uh...what do you plan to do about your family if we fail stop the portal to your world from opening?"
"I... I don't know... I haven't thought about it."
"Don't sweat it if the gate opens we'll get a head start and we bring drop your family off at my shop It's the best bet for the safest place"
