InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Screwing with the Gods ❯ New Naraku! ( Chapter 4 )

Ritalin_writer: This is the Labor Day chapter yah! So here we go!

 

 

~~~Last time~~~

Kagome looked up at the blue skinned beady eyed demon that stood above them. Inuyasha instinctively grabbed the hilt of his sword. Miroku and Sango immediately readied themselves with their staff and Hiraikotsu. And Shippo just plain passed out.

 

“Ye need not fear me it is I. Though in this body I could enact my revenge for all the time ye called me `old hag' Inuyasha.” The Kaede demon said staring down at a hesitant Inuyasha.

~~~Now~~~

 

Inuyasha tentatively removed his hand from the hilt of the Tetsusaiga and smiled sheepishly. Evidently he had just realized his place in the food chain…at the bottom…And was learning rather quickly.

 

“Hey come on now I never actually meant any of it you know.”

 

The ogre grunted. “Ye are a better fighter than ye are a liar Inuyasha. Either way it makes no difference for what dilemma we have here.” She mused as she stared intently at the raving villagers turned demon.

 

“What can we do to stop this? If this continues this entire village will be gone in a matter of minutes at this rate.” Miroku spoke watching as a pair of insect demons fighting one another.

 

“Ye are now a kitsune youkai now, are ye not monk?” Kaede inquired noting on the swaying obsidian tail. Miroku nodded though his confusion was fairly evident.

 

“Then why not use ye fox magic to ensnare the raving demons we have here?” she suggested, her cool demeanor seemingly unruffled by these unnatural twist in events.

 

Sango seemed to catch onto what Kaede was saying and looked expectantly towards the monk who seemed suddenly ardently perturbed with all the attention. He closed his eyes, coughing into his hand as he averted his gaze. “As much as I would like to assist I haven't the slightest idea of how to do that.”

 

“That's why you have a natural born pro here!” Kagome piped up as she gathered the human Shippo in her arms and handed him to a surprised Miroku. “With Shippo guiding you through it there's no way you can go wrong.”

 

~~~five minutes later~~~

 

Three demons believed they were chickens.

 

Six were doing some odd kabuki theatre scene.

 

Some of the females were painting their faces.

 

And the rest were ambling about in a relative daze.

 

And Inuyasha had been hypnotized.

 

Miroku and Shippo staring uncertainly at their handiwork, sweat dropping as they acknowledged that they had gone wrong somewhere.

 

“Well at least they stopped killing each other…” Shippo said with a nervous chuckle.

 

“Now then,” there was a rumbling as the ogre Kaede sat down even still towering over the band, “what do ye believe caused such a strange phenomenon to befall us all?”

 

Ignoring the oddities being conducted behind them they tried to concentrate on what was relevant. How had this transpired?

 

“It may have had something to do with those flashing lights the other day. I remember when Sango and Miroku came back that they said they were caught in the lights while riding on Kirara. When they got here Kirara was a cat.” Kagome advised and as if to support her claim the now tan and black cat padded up and meowed.

 

“But where do you think the lights came from? Do you think it was a jewel shard?” Sango inquired as she stared at her tails having not grown used to having extra appendages and her curiosity to say the least was overflowing.

 

“Ne, I do not believe a jewel shard was the cause of this…” Kaede trailed off. “This type of magic is possessed only by gods. To transform an entire community into another race is a feat that even the Shikon no Tama could not accomplish.”

 

“Are you implying that there might be some corrupted god somewhere causing all this?” Inuyasha growled clutching the Tetsusiaga and glaring at the ground as he tried to work out the problem.

 

“Yes I do believe some celestial being is behind this. However to find a god is a tedious task to complete. Gods have phenomenal power and much like Naraku is unable to admit defeat easily.”

 

“Sounds like they're like Inuyasha to me.” Shippo commented.

 

Inuyasha didn't seem to bother acknowledging Shippo's remark as he tried to concentrate.

 

“The lights came from one of the villages Miroku and I flew over; maybe if we started there we might be able to find something to go by.” Sango suggested rising from her seated position and brushing off her kimono, shouldering her Hiraikotsu and looking expectantly towards the remainder of the group.

 

“Yes that would be wise,” Miroku said walking alongside the neko demon slayer. “However, how do you propose we get there? It was a great endeavor for us to walk last time. And now with Inuyasha as a human the journey may be longer then we anticipate.” His comment about Inuyasha's mortality irked the had been dog demon who's leg started to bounce agitatedly.

 

“Ye are demons are ye not? Why not exploit the powers you have been given?” Kaede suggested.

 

Miroku seemed to ponder that detail. “Yes but exactly how do I use the kitsune magic?” Shippo snorted. “Humans like you couldn't understand the complex system of-”

 

“Transform!”

 

There was a loud pop and where the fox tailed monk had been standing now stood a massive hawk. Instead of Shippo's transformation of a hawk that looked like a strange seagull looking bird, he actually resembled a massive bird of prey with a bright red tail.

 

Shippo looked on in begrudged awe, jaw dropped at the accuracy of the transformation. “Well this isn't too bad I think a missed a feather or two though…” Miroku commented seeing Shippo's reaction. Shippo crossed his arms and turned his back to them angrily.

 

“Alright hop on Inuyasha.” The Miroku said picking up his staff with his beak.

 

“Keh, like I'm going to ride on the back of a bird? You got to be kidding me?”

 

“You had no problem riding on Hachi when we needed to.”

 

Inuyasha growled as he got up. “Like hell I did! I don't need to ride on anyone or anything so back off!”

 

“Alright suite yourself, Inuyasha.” Sango turned from him and was enveloped in a burst of flames that caused Kirara to jump away to avoid being burned.

 

Sango had transformed effortlessly into a giant two tailed cat. The newly transformed demon slayer was now a chocolate colored cat with fangs, bright crimson eyes, and light brown almost amber colored stripes along her massive paws and lashing tails.

 

“Impressive.” Kagome said in awe as she petted Miroku's wing, Miroku happily obliged by extending the appendage allowing Kagome better access to the feathers.

 

But we all know that wasn't out of the kindness of his heart…

 

“And Sango you look just like Kirara. If I didn't know better I'd say you were related.”

 

Kirara had seated herself beside the giant cat and was dwarfed considerably by Sango's. The two felines cocked their heads to the left and then look to one another.

 

“Can you transform too Kagome?” Shippo inquired and Kagome looked to herself. “Well I'm not like Miroku whose magic can help him turn into whatever he wants, and Sango's was kinda obvious. But I'll try.”

 

Kagome balled her hands into fists and began to concentrate. Eyes closed as she shifted through her powers trying to find a clue of what she could do.

 

“Kagome!” Inuyasha's voice was strangled and everyone around her began coughing causing her to break her concentration just when she though she was able to find something.

 

She looked around and found that a sheet of purple vapors had begun to come from around her legs and expand in the surrounding area.

 

“Inuyasha get on!” Miroku insisted and Inuyasha didn't protest this time as he climbed onto the giant raptor and Shippo was hoisted up by Sango and clutching Kirara in his arms.

 

Kaede didn't have to worry about anything for her head was above the ominous fumes and she simply stared down at Kagome who was looking frantically around for a way to stop whatever had happened. She was completely unaffected by the gas.

 

“I only know one person that can make that kind of poison.” Inuyasha choked out shielding his face from the miasma.

 

“Naraku.”
