Chapter 5
"Milords, you have returned. The villagers were quite alarmed by that dragon the other day. Is everything alright?" The monk asks.

"Of course. Just taking care of those annoying little imposters by showing my true force." Akuma says.

"Ichigo. As of tonight you and your family are no longer bound to us. You may do as you please from this moment forward." Akurei says.

"Huh?" Ichigo replies.

"You have served us very well over the centuries. As has your family. But we no longer need your help. Feel free to do as you please with the temple and shrine. We leave them in your capable hands." Akurei explains and follows Akuma back to the pond.

"What's going on milords?" Ichigo asks.

"There is no need to worry about it. Go and find some nice girl and start a family." Akuma says draining the pond.

"But..." Ichigo says.

"No buts. Just do as your ordered. We will see you again." Akurei says grabbing a small box.

They leave, leaving Ichigo standing next to the pond confused.

The following morning, Inuyasha and company get up with the sun and begin their search for Naraku again. With each step getting closer to the waterfall and Naraku's castle.

That night as the sunsets Inuyasha catches Naraku's scent.

"Naraku is close. I just caught his scent briefly." Inuyasha say sniffing around.

"That's good. At least we know he is close then." Sango says.

"I don't sense any shards around here." Kagome says looking around.

Miroku looks down at his windtunnel hand and opens and closes it a few times.

"It's gotten bigger. If it gets any bigger then I am going to be swallowed whole. Before that happens I am going to have leave them." Miroku says to himself.

"This ends tomorrow." Inuyasha says looking up at the top of the mountain.

"It better." Miroku says to himself.

During their search the following day, they end up at the base of the waterfall.

"We have searched everywhere on this mountain and haven't found anything." Kagome says sitting down.

"How can we even be sure this is the right mountain? Maybe that brief scent of Naraku Inuyasha smelled yesterday was of Naraku fleeing?" Miroku says.

Inuyasha slaps his neck and Myoga floats down to the ground.

"Lord Inuyasha, I have done some searching and came across something that may help you." Myoga says.

"And what might that be?" Inuyasha asks.

"According to some of the older demons around here this particular waterfall had a shrine on top built for a very powerful demon long ago. They said that the shrine was abandoned but recently something has taken refuge in it." Myoga explains.

Everyone looks up to the top of the waterfall and sees nothing. From out of nowhere Naraku appears and smiles at them.

"Come Inuyasha!" He shouts down.

Inuyasha clenches his fists and sprints at the cliff face. The second his foot touches the cliff face he is sent flying backwards.

"Ah yes, I forgot to mention that these cliffs can not be climbed." Myoga says.

"A little quicker with that information next time." Inuyasha says getting up.

The waterfall mysteriously stops flowing and reveals a ladder carved right into the mountain. Inuyasha and his friends take to the ladder and quickly climb up it.

When they finally reach the top Inuyasha and Miroku are the first to see the shrine. They look at one another and run into the shrine.

Kagome and Sango reach the top just as the gates slam shut trapping Miroku and Inuyasha inside.

"Those symbols look familiar." Sango says pointing to the moon shapes that covered the gates.

"It couldn't be?" Kagome says.

Naraku sits on the steps of the main building as Inuyasha and Miroku look around.

"Something doesn't feel right." Miroku says to Inuyasha.

"NARAKU!! You die today!" Inuyasha shouts.

Naraku smiles and tentacles shoot out of the ground and attack Inuyasha and Miroku. The two of them are taken off guard and are sent flying. Both of them are beaten around like pinballs for over an hour. The sun is just about to set when the tentacles retract back into the ground.

Inuyasha struggles to his feet and wipes the blood from his face. Miroku also struggles to his feet and holds his ribs.

"Monk, how is it that you have managed to stay alive for all this time? Even your grandfather and father didn't last this long." Naraku says.

Miroku spits out some blood and doesn't say a word.

"I see. How about you use that windtunnel of yours and absorb Inuyasha into it. If you do then I shall break the curse I put on your family." Naraku says with an evil smile.

Miroku looks at his windtunnel then at Inuyasha.

"No. I am going to kill you and break the curse that way." Miroku replies.

Naraku stands and takes a couple steps forward. Inuyasha draws Tetsusaiga and walks toward Naraku.

"WINDSCAR!!!" Inuyasha shouts at the top of his lungs.

Naraku is hit by the massive blast of energy and laughs as his body instantly regenerates.

"ADAMANT BARRAGE!!!" Inuyasha shouts at the top of his lungs.

Again Naraku laughs as the large diamond shards rip his body to shreds and he regenerates instantly.

"Allow me to show you my new strength." Naraku says as the eye in his chest turns white and glows ominously.

Suddenly a beam of light shoots out and sends Inuyasha flying into the wall.

Kagome jumps at the sound of Inuyasha hitting the wall. She turns to Sango and her eyes widen and her face turns pale.

Tentacles wrap around Miroku's wrists and legs before wrapping around his entire body, completely immobilizing him.

Inuyasha crawls to his feet and Naraku looks at him curiously.

"Damn." Inuyasha says as he glares back at Naraku.

"This is very interesting." Naraku says.

"Out of all the times to turn human. Now would be the day." Inuyasha says to himself.

"Oh, Inuyasha." Kagome says and cries into Sango's shoulder.

Tentacles wrap around Inuyasha and bring him to Naraku, who looks over Inuyasha.

"Looks like you shall be joining Kikyo in hell soon enough." Naraku says picking up Tetsusaiga and stabs Inuyasha in the stomach.

"INUYASHA!!" Miroku shouts and struggles against the tentacles.

"Now, monk." Naraku says as a tentacle starts to undo the beads around the windtunnel.

The gates of the shrine unexpectedly coming flying right past Naraku. A look of surprise is on his face as he locks eyes with a very pissed looking Akurei and Akuma.

"Mind if we come in?" Akurei asks dropping his staff.

"You have saved me the trouble of coming after you when I was done here." Naraku says.

Kagome tries to run past but Akuma kicks her in the stomach and sends her tumbling into Sango.

"Stay out." Akuma says.

Naraku launches another beam at Akurei and Akuma. They step to the side and it misses.

"Naraku, you have stepped right into our trap and didn't even realize it." Akurei says.

"You have been under our supervision for the last fifty years. Every step you have made we have seen it. Do you honestly think we would leave our flesh out in the open for you to absorb?" Akuma says.

A look of fear and terror comes over Naraku's face.

"Don't run. There is a barrier surrounding the castle. You won't be able to break it." Akuma adds as Akurei grabs Inuyasha by the hair and flings him out to Kagome.

The tentacle opens the windtunnel and Naraku aims it right at them.

Akuma extends his hand out and locks eyes with Miroku. Suddenly Miroku's windtunnel stopped sucking in the debris.

"What is going on?" Miroku asks.

"How can this be?" Naraku asks as he watches the windtunnel seal itself up.

"Monk I suggest you leave now." Akurei says as the tentacles disintegrate from his body.

"How did you reverse the curse I placed on his family?" Naraku asks.

"Easy. You are a mere half demon and we are powerful celestial beings." Akuma says.

"Besides we are in our home territory." Akurei says spreading his arms out.

"Now is the time for you to die." Akuma says.

From out of the buildings, dozens of clones run out and surround Naraku.

"Didn't you learn anything from the last ones? These are no match for us." Akuma says slightly upset.

"But these aren't like the last ones these are perfect clones. Unlike you two they don't require the use of the moon." Naraku says backing up.

"Akurei, why not show him your technique." Akuma says walking back to Inuyasha and his friends.

Akurei grabs his upper arm and digs his fingers into his own flesh before ripping all the flesh and muscle from the arm. Then does the same thing to his other arm and chest. He looks at Naraku and grins as he rips his own jaw completely off along with his flesh.

"What is he doing?" Sango asks.

"His special technique that only he can do. I tried doing it once but nearly died from it." Akuma says.

Akurei lowers his head and chants softly as his staff glows bright crimson and suddenly turns to blood. Within seconds blood is oozing from every surface on the castle grounds.

"You see Akurei is completely different from me even though we are brothers. I was born under an eclipsed moon while he was born under a blood red moon. Which gives him certain abilities. You may want to back up some." Akuma says.

"Worthless." Akurei whispers a split second before a massive hand erupts from under the castle and raises all the clones high into the now blood red moon sky.

The hand closes and all the clones are instantly killed.

"Finish this." Akuma says.

Akurei smashes the ground with his fist and the large fist does the same.

Naraku lays there completely crushed as they hand retreats back underground.

Akurei walks across the blood soaked ground and crouches next to Naraku as he slowly regenerates.

"You see how small and insignificant your power is compared to ours? That was a basic attack for me. I mastered that before I could fully walk. You are nothing but a petty human thief" Akurei says.

"I am not beaten yet." Naraku says confidently.

Akurei snaps and Akuma throws a bag behind Akurei. The bag starts to cry as a baby would.

"We made a stop on the way here. Putting your human heart in the infant was very clever. However absorbing its protector wasn't." Akurei says and Akuma tosses Kanna's lifeless body next to the bag.

"Now is the time Inuyasha. Kill that infant and Naraku dies." Akuma says.

Inuyasha looks at him with a shocked expression.

"What?" Akuma asks and walks over to the child.

"The demons in hell are anxiously awaiting you in hell, Onigumo." Akurei says as a squishy crunch sound is heard and the infant stops crying.

Kagome and Sango look away and Kagome nearly throws up.

Naraku struggles to breathe and Miroku walks over. He looks at Naraku for a second before stabbing his staff into Naraku's chest.

"Naraku is no more." Akuma says.

"Demon slayer. Stand and draw your weapon." Akurei says standing up.

"Why? Naraku is dead. The land is at peace finally." Sango says.

"Trust us. It is something you must do." Akurei says.

"Besides, you are going to famous for being the one that killed the Lunar Demons." Akuma says.

Sango throws her Hiraikotsu and splits them in two.

"Finally we may return home." Akuma says before dying.

"Thank you." Akurei says as he dies.

"Okay. That was just weird." Kagome says.

Suddenly the entire shrine vanishes in the blink of an eye leaving two small orbs. They float over to Inuyasha and his friends.

"No need to worry. The mutt will be fine." One orb says floating over Kagome and Inuyasha.

"Akurei?" Kagome says looking up at the orb.

"Of course. Just thought we'd say goodbye before we left." Akurei says.

Sango suddenly stiffens up and a shocked look comes over her face quickly followed by an angry one.

"MIROKU!!!" She shouts and looks at Miroku who is laying down trying to recover from his injuries and staring at his now healed hand.

"I think I'm in love. Nothing quite like the toned backside of a beautiful demon slayer." Akuma says rubbing up and down across Sango's butt.

"What do you mean?" Kagome asks as Sango chases Akuma's orb around.

"We are finally going home after all these centuries." Akurei says

"Home?" Kagome says as the two orbs rise into the early morning sky.

"Sango, I will return for you." Akuma says making Sango blush.

"We had plenty of time for you to fall for a woman and now you finally do so." Akurei says.

"Like you can talk. Come on lets go." Akuma says.

That afternoon while Sango and Kagome look through the dirt on where the castle once stood, Sango sees something in the dirt.

Inuyasha awakens late that afternoon and looks next to him.

"Sango found it a little bit ago." Kagome says as Inuyasha picks up Tensaiga.

A few days later the four of them arrive back at Kaede's village where they are greeted by Rin and a very worn out looking Jaken.

As the four of them sit around the cooking fire, one question is on all their minds.

"What do we do now?" Inuyasha asks.

"Anything we want. I guess." Miroku says looking at where his windtunnel was.

"The Shikon Jewel is still missing. We should hunt that down before it falls into the wrong hands." Sango says.

"That's a good idea. First thing I am doing is going home for a couple days." Kagome says.

"That's a great idea. All of us should take a few days to fully rest up and finish healing." Miroku says.

"Fine but only two days. I want to leave as soon as possible." Inuyasha says.

In the morning Kagome leaves for the Bone Eater's Well.

"Mom, I'm back." Kagome says as she walks into her house.

"Welcome back, Kagome." Her grandfather says.

"Hey, Gramps. Where is mom?" Kagome asks.

"Still sleeping." Gramps says.

"Really? Is she alright?" Kagome asks.

"I'm sure she is." Gramps replies and walks outside.

Sota runs by and nearly knocks her over.

"Hey sis. Sorry. Gotta go." He says as he runs out the door.

Manami walks out of her bedroom and greets Kagome.

"Welcome home, dear. How long will you be staying this time?" She asks.

"A couple days." Kagome replies.

"Let me make you something to eat." She says and starts to get some food out.

That afternoon Sota returns and is talking excitedly to someone.

Kagome opens her door and heads downstairs after changing. She stops dead in her tracks as she walks into the living room.

Akurei and Akuma look at her.

"Welcome." Akurei says.

"Hey." Akuma says.

"What are you doing here?" Kagome asks.

"You haven't heard? Our shrine is still in tact and only about fifty miles from here so we stopped by for a visit." Akuma says.

"I thought you were going home?" Kagome asks sitting down.

"Pink hearts." Akuma says.

Kagome's face turns red.

"We did. It has been five hundred years since we last saw you." Akurei says and smacks Akuma.

"What? I saw pink hearts." Akuma says and is smacked again.

"So why are you here?" Kagome asks pulling her skirt down more in front.

"Living on the moon is very quiet and boring. But living in feudal Japan is too much excitement. This era is just right. We don't have to worry about any demons coming after us." Akurei explains.

"Oh, here." Akuma says handing Kagome the Shikon Jewel.

"You guys had this?" She replies.

"Yeah. Only one shard is missing. When you go back, we'll go with and get it for you." Akuma says.

"Really? Only one shard is missing?" Kagome says looking at the shard.

"Is that the real Shikon Jewel?" Gramps asks looking at it.

"Well we can go back tomorrow if you'd like? Inuyasha and the others aren't doing anything." Kagome says.

"Great. Then we'll leave in the morning. So why is there pink hearts on your..." Akuma says before being back fisted.

Kagome gets up and storms off embarrassed.

"Moron. Those are decorations so people will buy them. Now enough with the pink hearts." Akurei says.

The following morning Kagome walks into the living room and sees Akuma sound asleep on the floor snoring.

Before she can do anything, Akuma sits up and yawns.

"Morning, green horizontal stripes." Akuma says and is swiftly kicked.

"Mom, I am leaving now." Kagome says through her mother's door.

She opens it and nearly falls over by Akurei as he opens the door at the same time. She gets a quick peek at her mother who is sleeping peacefully with a big smile. Kagome gasps and Akurei pushes her back out of the room.

"Did you and her...?" Kagome starts to ask before Akurei interrupts her.

"Ready to go?" Akurei asks.

The three of them arrive back at Kaede's hut around noon.

"Finally." Inuyasha says as Kagome walks in.

"Mutt. Monk. And the lovely Demon Slayer." Akuma says sitting next to Sango.

"Inuyasha." Akurei says sitting down.

"What are you two doing here?" Inuyasha asks completely confused and shocked.

"They are living in my time period now." Kagome explains.

"Look, we aren't here to start any trouble. We just came back to put the last shard of the Shikon Jewel in." Akurei explains.

"I came back for my demon slayer. Watching her throw that weapon of hers really gets me...ughhhhh." Akuma says laying on the ground with a dented cast iron cooking pot next to him.

"So you are going to be with us till we find this last shard?" Inuyasha asks.

"Something like that." Akurei says.

"The way you speak its as if you already know where it is." Miroku says.

"Tell me where it is and I'll kill the bastard holding it." Inuyasha says grabbing Tetsusaiga.

Akurei glances over at Sango who lowers her head.

A thick silence comes over the hut.

"Go ahead. Kill your friend for the shard in her back that is keeping her alive." Akurei says calmly.

"I can't." Inuyasha replies.

Tears fall from Sango's eyes.

"Relax. Nobody is going to kill you. I need you three to leave." Akurei says.

Miroku, Inuyasha, and Kagome all look at him funny.

"I am going to remove the shard that Naraku placed in her." Akurei says.

"But if you remove it she'll die." Kagome says.

"It's alright. I knew this day would come. Just do as he says. Besides, I will be with Kohaku once more." Sango says undressing.

Kagome shoves Miroku and Inuyasha out and closes the door behind her.

"Just make it quick." Sango says laying on her stomach with her entire upper body nude.

"This will hurt like hell for a bit. But try to bear it." Akurei says putting a bone in her mouth.

"To bite into when it hurts." Akuma says getting up and laying in front of her so they are looking into each other's eyes.

Moments later Sango is floating high above the earth looking down.

"There." Akurei says holding up the shard.

Sango returns to reality and looks at it.

She covers herself and Akuma puts his hand on where the shard once was.

"You can come in now." Akurei says opening the door.

"I'm not dead?" Sango says confused.

"Nope. Most of the wound had healed just a few muscles and veins hadn't yet. You will be good as new in a little while." Akurei explains.

"What are you doing?" Kagome asks.

"Deep tissue massage to help it heal faster." Akuma says before Akurei tosses him the jewel and the shard.

"Stop molesting her for a second and fix this." Akurei says.

That evening they all sit outside and admire the stars.

"Here." Sango says and hands Akurei and Akuma two wrapped items.

"A gift?" Akurei says unwrapping it to find his staff and Akuma finds So'unga.

"Wow. Thank you for returning these." Akuma says and gives her a hug.

"You sure are different from last time we met." Miroku says hiding his jealousy and anger.

"I have learned from a long time ago to never let your enemies see your soft side. It has horrible effects." Akuma says.

"Well, I have to be going." Akurei says sometime later.

He gets up and starts back for the Bone Eater's Well.

"I'll be back when you are ready to face me, Inuyasha. Maybe if you impress me I'll teach you those techniques for Tetsusaiga." Akurei says and disappears into the darkness.

"Wait... What!" Inuyasha shouts back.

"I better go too. Later." Akuma says.

Miroku swallows hard and reaches for Sango but grabs Kagome's hand on accident.

"Sango will you bear my..." Miroku says before realizing that he has Kagome's hand.

"Miroku what are you doing?" Inuyasha asks clenching his fist.

"She ran off after Akuma." Kagome says.

She comes running back with a big smile and gives Miroku a big hug.

His eyes widen and a sad look overcomes his face.

She grabs her weapon and runs off with Kilala right behind her.

"Don't die Inuyasha while I'm gone." She shouts back and catches up with Akuma.

"What did she say to you?" Kagome asks.

"Nothing. Guess this is goodbye for me as well. Take care Inuyasha. And you too, Kagome." Miroku says and grabs his staff before walking off in the other direction.

Inuyasha and Kagome look at each other then up at the moon. Inuyasha looks around and quickly steals a kiss from Kagome.

"Ahem. Excuse me." Akurei says clearing his throat.

Inuyasha stands there like a dear caught in the headlights with Kagome in his arms.

"I just came back for one last thing." Akurei says and removes the necklace around Inuyasha's neck.

"It's obvious that he won't be needing this. Now please continue." Akurei says and walks off into the darkness.

"INUYASHA!!!!!!!" Kagome screams in the cool night air.


THE END?
