Chapter 6 -Naraku returns-
Everyone stood still, fear hung in the air and burned all of their noses as the scent that had surrounded Kaida came closer. Matsu appeared through the woods and saw the figure land beside the demoness. The first was followed by two others, one holding a boomerang over her shoulder.

Kagome's grip got tighter on her bow as she let the arrow fly right into Sango's chest. She looked down before pulling it out, "that's not very nice, now is it?"

Naraku laughed lightly, their eyes finally focusing on his new body. This one didn't have the long black hair the last one possessed, instead he had short brown hair and a kind of geeky, somewhat cute but completely evil look on his face. <five guesses who the body is related too, and the first four don't count.>

"So, this your new body?" Inuyasha asked tightening his hold on tetsusaiga.

"Observant as ever hanyou," he said, holding Kaida to his body possessively. He set his gaze past them though, to stare at Ookami, "never again touch what is mine wolf."

Ookami mind went blank, as he was sure everyone else's did when Naraku bit his claim back in Kaida's neck. Ryu tore his eyes from the look of pleasure the set across Kaida's face as he licked his mark. Instead he looked at the jewel in Naraku's grasp and then to the two beside him. They needed to get the jewel away from him, and Kaida. If he could just get a sliver of it.

His train of thought was broken though when Shippo shot forward on a command from Inuyasha, throwing his fox fire directly at Naraku and Kaida.

As expected they moved out of the way to meet the receiving end of tetsusaiga. Naraku let his mate go as she pulled up dokkasou to clash with the attacker. He saw an arrow head for him and held up the jewel, knowing it would block the miko magic coming through with the arrow. Ookami's leg caught his wrist snapping the jewel away, letting it roll before both of them dodged the oncoming arrow.

Ryu rushed ahead to pick up the jewel as Matsu distracted Sango who tried to make a break for it. He picked it up ready to run when he was grabbed. Looking over his shoulder he saw the face of Rin as her claws came up to cut the side of his face. He clutched the jewel tighter, not willing to give it up, no matter the pain.

Shippo came to his brother's aid, taking the jewel from his hand and waving it in front of Rin's face before creating multiple copies of himself, hoping to confuse the demoness. Kagome scanned for the real Shippo, looking at all of the copies that were now zipping around, making her feel like she was back fighting with Miroku and Sango.

She tried to ignore the look of Inuyasha and Kaida. He was badly cut because he refused to strike her, even though he had multiple chances to do so with her lack of skill. Ookami and Naraku exchanged swings, Ryu deciding to help his long time friend. Matsu and Sango were glaring daggers at one another, neither knowing who the other was, not that it mattered.

She seemed to be the only one not attacking, making the fight seem that much more like a past one. She strung another arrow and pulled it back, aiming for Naraku, that was the difference, she could shot an arrow now. She was just waiting for the time to be perfect. She watched Ookami and Ryu pull back from Naraku and then saw the jewel come flying to her.

A look of pure confusion came over her face as she tried to think how Shippo sent it to her but it was pushed aside when she reached her hand up and caught the jewel. Naraku's eyes watched her purify the jewel before he shot forward and grabbed the wrist that didn't posses what he wanted. She tried to pull the miko power to her hands as he throw her bow away, prying her hand open to get the jewel.

Inuyasha watched his mate try to stand off Naraku and without tetsusaiga, he knew he would have lost his human blood. He hit the hilt of tetsusaiga on Kaida's wrist, knocking dokkasou from her hand and to Ryu's feet. He leapt towards Naraku only to have him pull the jewel from Kagome's hand as he shot miasma out from somewhere.

He motioned for Sango and Rin to come with him as he picked up his mate. He was about to fly away <he flies alright> when Ryu jumped up and raised dokkasou, his eyes red with aqua pupils made Naraku pause, 'the miasma isn't affecting him,' he sighed and handed his unconscious mate to Rin giving her instructions to get her away from here.

He looked for Sango so he could hand her the jewel, that way ridding himself of all worries he had and unleashing what power this body had. She was fighting with Matsu and the irony would have made him give that evil chuckle he gives, if he didn't have to worry about the extremely ticked off hanyou turned youkai in front of him.

Ryu shot forward and Naraku had to block with his arm, but he pulled it away in pain at the poison dripping from the blade. He needed a swift retreat but he saw Ryu raise dokkasou and before he could move he had sliced through Naraku's hand and the jewel.

Ryu didn't know why he cut the jewel, he could barely think in his youkai form, but somewhere his instincts told him it was better than the whole jewel falling into Naraku's hand. He landed behind Naraku and turned to see where the jewel had fallen. Shippo pulled one half from the ground while Matsu tried to reach the other part of the jewel only to be knocked away by Naraku's unharmed hand.

Naraku took one last look at all of them, he couldn't risk getting the other half now, the stupid kitsune had it and Inuyasha was standing with tetsusaiga poised to attack with the wind scar. The other thing that worried him slightly was the angry inu-youkai looking at him holding the other deadly sword. His human body with little youkai fused with it would not stand up to the fight, and if that monk could be on par with Sango than he just needed to hold back, for now.

He ran off, knowing they wouldn't let Ryu chase after him, hopefully. He ran to Rin knowing Sango was coming close behind, but he couldn't ask much, she was merely human.

He took his mate from Rin, "come along Rin."

"Where are we going?"

"For me to get a different body, this one is damaged," he said holding up his hand where the poison was starting to cut through his body.

End chapter
Really really short I know, but quality over quantity right? This is the shortest chapter so don't worry they will never be shorter than this one.
