Chapter 10: Battle between sisters and a new discovery

I pulled out my Katana's and placed them in front of me, they felt right in my hand and I knew what I had to do, if I couldn't get through to Kagome then I would have no choice but to kill her, I refuse to let her kill more and more innocent people. I stared a moment at her, she looked different. Her hair was still the medium length, and her eyes were still the same brown, only the happiness and love had disappeared and was replaced and anger, hate, and greed. Then I realized it, she wasn't wearing her school uniform. Even though she had gone evil she had kept her uniform. But now she was in a different kimono, one that Naraku gave her known the less. It was a pretty kimono; it was light pink and long with a very long cut up the edge, showing a lot of Kagome's legs. Also the reason she had a very long cut up the edge was to give her room to fight. The kimono had red little fish, and her ribbon was sort of blood red, and she had tied a perfect bow in the back. Her sleeves were long like mine, and her weapon Inazuma, the Inazuma was very powerful. It was created from Naraku so it had a barrier around it, so it couldn't be destroyed.

"I see you changed your look" I said, "you surprised me, I thought you'd wear that kimono that made you look more like Kikyo, you remember the one you used to try and win over Inuyasha" I let out a laugh. The look on Kagome's face said it all, I wasn't going to attack first, and I wouldn't. Her eyes flashed with anger at the mention of Kikyo's name.

"I never asked to look like that witch!" she yelled, I looked at Inuyasha, who look hurt. I had made friends with Kikyo so there was no way I was going to let her get away with those words.

"Yes your right, but you need to learn to get over it!" I yelled, what I was saying was true, not everything could go her way. I pulled out my water Katana, I wasn't going to need the other, and at least I hoped.

"I will end your life here and now!" shouted Kagome and began to strike me with her Inazuma. Not ready for her attack I was pushed back into a tree. Pain surged through every inch of my people, and if I was a human then I probably would have died. I stood, thanking the true demon inside me for giving me strength. I saw my shell locket had fallen out of my kimono; I clasped it and buried it in my kimono.

"I see your still holding on to that pathetic shell, believe it or not Hanon but Aqua-Regina is useless!" she yelled, I stared up at her. Kagome had always had faith in the goddess, and now Naraku has turned her against Aqua-Regina.

"Your wrong, Aqua-Regina has always been there for me and you to if you let her then she can help you" I said, hoping maybe she listen to me. Kagome fell to her knees and I watched as tears rolled down her cheeks.

"You don't know what it's like to not have any one, when I met Inuyasha he was everything to me, you were to, I trusted you and I believed that Aqua-Regina would help me overcome my jealously of you, but she didn't she let this happen to me it's her fault and it's your fault I am this way!" she screamed, I stared at her, I knew some of this was my fault, but blaming Aqua-Regina was going to far.

"I admit the fault was mine, but I will not let you insult and my blame my goddess" I told her, she stared at me. Her eyes were clouded with anger, and then I noticed the melody that was surrounding her. She's singing!

"Did you see that I was hurt? Did you know that you had left me crying there? Now I'm holding all your words close until you feel this pain to, oh sweet Revenge you've lied again! I find I can't get free until I release this vengeance that I seek, forgive you, the only thing, I wanna live I'm ready to be free" she sang, it was then the words came to me and I knew what she truly felt, I closed my eyes and I to began to sing.

"Maybe you've been wounded too, maybe all this is your self protection, and all the hurts you thought were hidden, all the ones now hurting me, so who will make this pattern end!" I sang, and then in unison we grabbed our weapons and began to attack each, the song still flowing out of our mouths.

"I find I can't get free" I sang,

"Until I release this vengeance that I seek, forgive you, the only thing" Kagome sang, our weapons clashed together and we held our grip, the song growing stronger. And in Unison we found our words.

"I wanna live I'm ready to break these chains, I won't see this through" she sang,

"I wanna live I'm ready to break these chains, I wanna see this through, cause setting you free, it'd be my freedom to!" I sang louder and with anger and sadness and I pushed more pressure on my sword throwing Kagome into a tree. Once again the chorus flew out of our mouths. I grabbed my other Katana and moved about three feet away from her.

"I'm sorry but this has to be done, it's the only way we can both have our freedom, I won't let you kill more innocent people on my behalf!" I yelled, and rose my swords, I closed my eyes and stared at her for second, I was sure my eyes were playing tricks on me because I caught a glimpse of the old kagome, in her school uniform. The Kagome I knew, the one who was always worried about passing a test, having tons of boy trouble, and getting kidnapped all the time and always having a good heart. I felt myself grow weak, I couldn't kill her, and she was like a sister to me. I closed my eyes and reopened them again, then I saw the new Kagome, the one who had happily killed thousands of innocent people, no I had to do it. It's my fault she is like this; I will not have her suffer this way. I readied my Katana's and spoke,

"Saber Twister!" I yelled, two tornado's busted out from both the Katana's, one was a water tornado and the other was air, they collided together aiming for Kagome, who was already up and ready to try and back fire my attack. There was no way I was going to let her win; I could feel my anger flow out of my body and into the swords, making them stronger. The tornados left a destructive path from behind describing just how powerful this attack really is. Kagome stared up then clasped her staff.

"Dead Scream!" she yelled and swung her Inazuma around, the Inazuma let out a giant ball of purple emery and yellow lighting sending it spiraling towards my attack. Both of our attacks were heading straight for each other, then they hit with huge explosion, the hit of the attack was bright and unbearable. I didn't dare open my eyes; I felt the hands of someone grab me. I held on to whoever it was, hoping it was Inuyasha. The sound of the explosion ended and I forced myself to open my eyes. Inuyasha was holding on to me like I was a new born baby and I stared out into the destruction.

"Where is Kagome?" I asked, he shook his head,

"Her body is no where to be found, Hanon she made it out alive" he said, I could feel myself go numb, part me felt like I had failed but the other part was glad she was still alive.

"It's okay, but that means she gotten stronger" I said, trying to stand up.

"You see, didn't I tell you I wasn't lying, it's bad enough you tried to kill her, but now Naraku is going to make her even stronger!" yelled Kagura. I looked at my Katana's that I still held tightly in my hands.

"I had to try, I couldn't let her live this way it isn't right" I told her, Kagura's expression told me that she truly betrayed Naraku.

"What would happen if Naraku found out about what your doing?" I asked, Kagura seemed a but scared of my question.

"He'd kill me, that is why I have to act like I'm on his side, he holds my heart and as long as he does I'm stuck there with him unless you guys can try and stop him" she said, then pulled out a feather from her hair.

"I've got to go!" she said and rode on her giant feather away.

"Kagura is betraying Naraku, hard to believe but I guess now that I see Kagura would be the one to betray him, Kanna, Hakudoshi, Kohaku, and Kagome wouldn't dare betray him, but Kagura yes" said Inuyasha still holding me.

"That means Naraku already knows of Kagura's betrayal, he's smart enough to figure out that much" I said,

"Huh? What do you mean he already knows?" asked Inuyasha, I got out of his arms and stood. My energy already returning to me,

"Think Inuyasha, Naraku never does anything by himself, he's always got people doing his dirty work, which means he probably sent Hakudoshi, Kanna, or Kohaku or even those dame Simiosho bugs, he isn't stupid Inuyasha" I said, letting my anger take control. I put my hand to head, my head was pounding. Inuyasha was still holding me close to him.

"Yeah, your right, but what I don't get is why Naraku wanted to turn you into a demon?" he said, I stared at him. It was the exact same thing I wanted to know, why did he turn me into demon, what was so big that he needed me to be a demon. Actually, I was beginning to think he had turned me into a new kind of species. You couldn't be two things without being half of something. Yet I was a full demon, and could still be turned into a mermaid if I touched water, my eyes widen.

"Inuyasha, is there a near by lake or stream near here?" I asked, he nodded and lead me to it. I needed to know if I was able to control my transformation into a mermaid. Inuyasha put me down, I hesitated, I thought hard about staying a demon and then stepped into the nice cool water. Amazed at myself I didn't turn into a mermaid, I stayed the same. I smiled, and then frowned as I realized Naraku had turned me into something new. I felt like one of his incarnations, I felt (strangely) apart of him. I looked away from my reflection in disgust,

"Why…" I began, my hair in my face, and stared down deep into the water. "Why me, what did I do to deserve this, I feel like I'm apart of him Inuyasha, I feel like I can no longer to do anything without him knowing" I said, Inuyasha walked over to me. I could hear the sound of the water splash as he came and knelt by my side.

"Who?" he asked, I looked up at him.

"Naraku"

Inuyasha's eyes widen, and he fell back, "No, that can't be, you mean he made like Hakudoshi and the others?" he asked, I didn't say anything. But there was one way to find out, if my theory was right, then I would have Naraku's mark on my back.

"Inuyasha, I need you to do me a favor, I'm going to let down part of my kimono, check my back" I said, I didn't tell him what to look for, I didn't want to. I let down the top of my kimono and turned around so my back faced him. I closed my eyes and heard him gasp.

"NO!" he yelled, "the bastard, how dare he, no, no, no!" I turned to see my back, I could only get a glimpse, and I felt myself gasp as I saw the same spider tattoo that Kagura and the others had on their backs. The spider was the symbol of Onigume, Naraku's human half (because Naraku is indeed a half-demon) no matter how many times Naraku changed form; the spider never left his back. Now it will never leave mine unless we kill him, the spiders of Kagura, Hakudoshi, and Kanna all meant that they belong to Naraku. Naraku also held there hearts, meaning if they didn't obey they would lose there life as quick as they gained them. I traced the tattoo with my fingers; each touch was cold and shaky. I belonged to Naraku, so if I wasn't careful Naraku could take over me mind and turn me against my friends. I shook my head,

"NO! NO! NO! NO!" I yelled, smashing my fists into the water. I lost focus on staying a demon and changed into my mermaid form.

"I don't belong to anyone! Do you hear me, Naraku! I know you're here!" I yelled, I looked around. Then I heard it, the sick laugh of Naraku. Inuyasha must have caught his disgusting scent, because he brought out his Tetsaiga.

"Naraku, show yourself so I can kick your ass" said Inuyasha, his eyes were clouded with anger, much like my own Inuyasha did have a temper, but it wasn't always so strong as it was now. I was the same way, I pretty nice, but when I got pissed then things go bad.

"Inuyasha" Naraku's voice was hot and very attractive, it almost made me want to fall into his arms because after all he was cute, but I knew what he really was behind the hotness, he was an evil son of bitch, who turned me into his own little apprentice. Inuyasha readied his sword,

"I wouldn't attack, if you do, you'll hurt the people that mean the world to Hanon" he said, as Hakudoshi, Kagura, Kanna, Kagome, and Kohaku emerged from the bushes. They were holding people in front of them, when they came into the light I saw the people they were holding. Yugi, Seto, Mokuba, Rina, and Mai, I focused hard on getting legs back, but I couldn't move.

"What did you do!" I growled, my claws growing longer with anger. Even though I was a mermaid, my ears and claws remained, my tail disappeared. Naraku let out a mischievous chuckle.

"You are my creation, I made you, I'm controlling you with what little energy you have left, you must be exhausted from your resent battle" he said smiling. I glared at him,

"You planned this, you better not hurt my friends you sick freak!" I yelled, my yelling only made him laugh more. I watched as my friends eyes began to open.

"I'm not going to hurt your friends" he said with a sly smile "You are"
