Part 1

*In the midst of the battle, the dog demon finds himself in a five on one situation between a demon slayer and her five lackeys. This deal with Jeice wasn't as easy as he thought it was going to be. This little woman brought out all of the stops! He was going to have to hit her with a big attack, and soon. As BB and the Woodsmen gather together to preform their blitzkreig of bullets attack, Inuyasha clutches the hilt of his Tessaiga with anticipation.*

Inuyasha: "She's gathering her troops together into one line of defense. This is my chance to hit the wind scar and get this over with. Then I go home."

*All five draw their weapons and FIRE at Inuyasha at the same time! Fans dive out of the way in fear, as Inuyasha is riddled from head to toe with the five way attack! It's a direct hit, but their fatal mistake? Not using REAL Ammo against the half demon! Inuyasha takes the hit dead on and doesn't flinch, like Johnny Knoxville in Jackass #2! When the smoke clears, the unharmed demon grins, before lifting his sword into the air...*

Bob: IT DIDN'T WORK!

Inuyasha: ...WIND SCARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!KATHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*Half of the ring, BB Hood, The Woodsmen, the security railing.. IT'S GONE. GONE. LIKE IT WAS NEVER THERE. But what is there, standing in the midst of the destruction.. Is the New UCTF Swordmaster Champion!*

Ref: RING IT!

*And with one attack, the match was over, Inuyasha's part of the deal was done. He ignores the roaring cheers from the crowd, who celebrates the end of BB Hood's Swordmaster title reign. He has bigger fish to fry right now, Going home and resuming his mission to find all pieces of the jewel shard.*

Referee: "Wait! Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha: "What?"

Referee: "This. This belongs to you now."

*He places the solid gold Swordmaster title in his hand. It has no worth to the dog demon, who shrugs before turning his back and leaving the ring side area... Unknowing that going through with this event has only sunk him deeper into the competition known as the Ultimate Crossover Tournament Fighting League.*

Inuyasha: Stolen

*Moments Later after the match, and while the UCTF: Massacre event is still on the air, the new Swormaster Champion wastes no time before barging into the UCTF President's office. President Jeice and his assistant with no official surname, Xiu, who are both engrossed in the current events transpiring in the ring between Melvic Lillith, Kunoi Ishigami, and Ralph Flagg, don't even notice the Dog Demon has entered.*

Inuyasha: " ...."

*It isn't before he clears his throat that Xiu turns to see their new visitor in the room. After a feeling a few pokes to his shoulder, Jeice turns around before seeing his new champion towering over him. Inuyasha has the Swordmaster Championship draped over one shoulder, while cradling the sheathed Tessaiga's hilt with his free hand.*

Jeice: "There he is! What an awesome match! You were spectacular! I don't think I've ever really seen BB Hood get mangled in such a way! You'd be surpr–"

Inuyasha: "CAN IT! I did your deed. I took this strap away from her. Now you owe me! Get that woman down here and let's get this done! I want to get back to my own time right now and deal with these assholes that got me trapped here in the first place!"

*Jeice has been the President for almost two years now. Hearing someone stand up to him so firmly is something he hasn't seen in a very long while. It almost intimidates him! In a way, it almost reminds him of the guy who was in charge right before him. Xiu looks at him through the corner of his eye as to say "I FREAKIN' TOLD YOU SO!" He warned Jeice that the Piper would return to collect!*

Jeice: "You're right. I'll bring her down here, but you have to wait until this show is over. Xiu and I have something to do right now in regards to Mr. Flagg. Now, if you'll excuse me.."

*A Camera man enters the room, passing Inuyasha, before setting up the scene for the president.*

Jeice: "See me after the show! Now go get a shower, then relax. This'll only take a second."

*The Dog Demon sneers, but accepts it. The show wasn't over, and the President has obligations to fill. As he leaves the room, he hears Jeice speak once more, but this time, into the strange device that was brought in.*

<font color=orange><i>Jeice: "STOP! BLOODY STOP!"</I></font>

*A few hours and a shower later, Inuyasha roams the emptying complex of the UCTF Arena. For some reason, the President has suddenly dissappeared from his office, and is no where to be found inside the mammoth structure. What Jeice DOESN'T know however, is that he's dealing with someone who's got probably the most powerful nose this side of James Howlett! And just like a wild dog to his prey, Inuyasha uses the President's unique sent to find the Orange Crusher inside the SMALLEST area of the Arena, enjoying a Lariat. Jeice is almost SHOCKED to see Inuyasha standing there.*

Jeice: "OH SH– uhh.. Hey there scruffy! What's going on?"

Inuyasha: "You don't look so busy now. So let's get this over with. Where's the girl?"

Jeice: "Well, uh... You see–"

*Before the President can come up with a bullshit explaination, UCTF.com investigative reporter, Yuri Komuro (you may remember her.. She was the web mistress from William Clarke's website) arrives.*

Yuri: "Mr. President! FINALLY I found you. I've been looking all over the Arena for you!"

Inuyasha: "Same here. Is this the woman?"

Yuri: "..huh?"

Jeice: "No.. No. This isn't her, but she had an appointment before you, so I have to take this. Uhh.. Hey, There's some more reporters over there that wanted to talk to you anyway! Go speak to them for a few seconds. This is highly important UCTF stuff I have to take care of, OK!"

*Jeice grabs Yuri by the arm and rushes her out of the room.*

Jeice: "See ya in a bit! GREAT JOB TONIGHT!"

*Inuyasha snarls AGAIN. Now he's starting to lose his trust in the President's ability to delivery his part of the bargain.. But he doesn't have time to do anything about it now, as He's engulfed by reporters from the Anime City Press.*

Woman: "INUYASHA! THAT WAS AN AMAZING VICTORY TONIGHT!"

Man: "WHERE ARE YOU FROM?"

Woman: "IS THAT YOUR NATURAL HAIR COLOR, OR DO YOU DYE IT?"

Man: "WHAT'S UP WITH THE DOG EARS?!!?!"

*This was going to be a long night for the half demon! After an hour of shrilling from the reporters, Inuyasha manages to escape, and is back on the hunt for Jeice. The hunt takes the dog demon throughout the entire arena.. And no matter where he goes, high or low, he can't find him. The scent finally leads Inuyasha to the very edge of the Open Air Arena, where it suddenly vanishes. He was right.. The bastard WAS avoiding him. He had been Duped.*

Inuyasha: "...that rat bastard. Oh well. I'll find him again another day, and I'm hungry. I better get some food and have someone help me use that stupid phone thing in the INN. I haven't spoken to Kagome in a day, and I bet she wants to tell me about how well I did in my fight anyway. Heh. She so loves me."

*He leaps off into the night, while in another section of the building, Jeice watches with a sigh of relief...*

Jeice: "Thank God he's gone.. If he had found out that Kogarashi blew me off.... "

*Later that night, with the aid of the bellhop, Inuyasha manages to get some good ol 21st Century food, and a phone call out to Japan.*

Inuyasha: "Do I owe you some Gold or something?"

Bellhop: "No sir. Everything has been personally paid for by the UCTF Organization. Congrats on your win tonight!"

Inuyasha: "Yeah Yeah. Whatever. Thanks."

*The Bellhop leaves as the phone continues to ring to the Higurashi house hold in Tokyo. Finally, Mrs. Higurashi answers after a few rings.*

Inuyasha: "Mrs. Higurashi. It's me. How is everything? ...what? ...When did this happen?? Are you sure she's not just hanging out with her friends? Have you called them? ........."

*Minutes Later, Jeice, now back in his office plans the next UCTF: Massacre card. It's coming close to the 200th show, and even the lazy bastard himself is burning the midnight oil, coming up with new matches. The federation has his full attention, almost to a fault, as he never notices the building of energy behind the door to his office.*

Inuyasha: "WIND SCARRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

*There was no more than a SECOND before silently writing on a sheet of paper, and laying bloodied with shredded clothes on around debris that USED to be the Presidential Office! Coughing black smoke from his lungs, Jeice looks into through the firey haze in the room, to see Inuyasha slowly walking through it without a scratch on him. The Piper, has returned, to collect.*

Inuyasha: "THIS IS YOUR FAULT! BECAUSE OF YOUR GAMES, BECAUSE OF YOUR AVOIDANCE, SHE'S GONE. SHE'S GONE AND I AM GOING TO KILL YOU FOR IT, YOU STINKING ORANGE BASTARD!"

*As he feels the fully powered Tessaiga's blade pressing against his neck, President Jeice could only think of one fitting response to Inuyasha's crazed ranting.*

Jeice: "...lol fuck."

Part 2

Jeice: "Uhh.. Kid, I have no clue what you're talking about? Who's gone, and why am I about to get decapitated for it?!"

Inuyasha: "KAGOME DAMNIT! IF I WASN'T HERE SCREWING AROUND WITH YOU I COULD HAVE BEEN THERE TO SAVE HER."

*The Pressure of Tessaiga continues to grow, to the point where Jeice can feel a drop of blood trickle down his neck. If he couldn't talk his way out of this one, his dome was going to end up on somebody's mantle!*

Jeice: "I don't even know who Kagome is! Is that somebody from back home?"

Inuyasha: "WHAT DO YOU THINK?! I'VE ONLY BEEN HERE FOR A WEEK!"

Jeice: "Alright, Alright! Listen, I'm going to get your tickets back to Tokyo right now, alright?! Just let me reach the bloody phone without taking my head off!"

*The President of the UCTF gingerly reaches for the office desk phone that amazingly hadn't been destroyed from the power of the Wind Scar... slowly dialing a few digits, he reaches a secretary.*

Jeice: "This is Jeice. I need a favor. Book Inuyasha a two way ticket to Tokyo tonight. Yeah, I understand how much that's going to cost me. Yes, I know I should be saving up every penny I can to settle our constant lawsuits. Just get Inuyasha to Tokyo on the first redeye flight you can. Thanks."

*He goes to hang up the phone, only to have the cord sliced in half by the very pissed off Half-Demon.*

Jeice: "s..s..see?! I told you I'd get things done. Now you better be getting on your way, huh? Don't want to miss your flight, right, mate?"

*The half-breed gives Jeice a final, soul piercing glare before leaping out of the office window and into the bustling night crowd below. The president sits up, wiping the excess sweat from his brow. He walks to the now destroyed window, watching Inuyasha dart away, while trying to get his heart beat back to under 150. Seconds later, he hears a distant voice from above him.*

"I see you still have that winning personality. Still able to get anyone to try and kill you within an hour of knowing you."

Jeice: "ugh."

*He recognizes that hauntingly deep voice. It can only be one person.*

Vegeta: "He didn't take it well that you couldn't get Yuki Kogarashi?"

Jeice: "Not at all. But now he's got bigger fish to fry. What are you doing here? Finally back from your vacation?"

*The former President lands in the wreckage, surveying the damage..*

Vegeta: "Hardly. I came for the Dog Demon. Seems that he and I have a common point of interest."

*The President digs around the wreckage, looking for his hairbrush.*

Jeice: "Well ya just missed him, mate. I sent him to Japan on a late flight. ...Vegeta?"

*Jeice turns around to find the President has peaced out on him without a trace of him ever being there in the first place.*

Jeice: "huh... What was that all about??"

*Elsewhere, Inuyasha arrives at Anime City International. Surprisingly, without supervision, the half-demon manages to make it through security and onto the plan with no incident. More than likely the result of the half demon focusing on his mission. Finding out who or what kidnapped Kagome, and why. During the entire 13 hour flight, the Half-Breed struggles to keep his composure. In the back of his mind, all he can think about is how this was all HIS fault.. How she was HIS responsibility to protect!*

Inuyasha: "That smell... We're getting closer to Tokyo... MOVE."

*The half demon pushes a traveller out of the way to look out of the window, and sure enough, the plane was preparing to land into the airport.*

Inuyasha: "I knew it..."

Attendant: "Sir, please take your seat and fasten your seatbelt, as we are preparing to land."

Inuyasha: "..sure..."

*And like clockwork, the Pilot speaks over the plane's intercom system.*

Pilot: "Ladies and Gentlemen, we are making our final descent into the Tokyo International Airport. We hope you've had a comfortable and enjoyable trip. Thank you for fl–"

*The sound of the pilot's announcement is drowned out by the unmistakable sound of Inuyasha KICKING the Emergency door in! Thank God for seatbelts, as everything that's not bolted down now finds it's way violently suctioned off into the sky! Inuyasha leaps out of the broken doorway, landing on the wing of the plane just a mere feet away from the engine!*

Inuyasha: "NO TIME FOR THAT!"

*Inuyasha's Guts to Brains ratio problem has never been a question, as the idiotic hero leaps several hundred feet from the airplane, landing in a perfect four point stance on the now cracked concrete below. Being a half demon, much like Alchemy, is indeed the shit.*

Inuyasha: "I've got to hurry."

*The half demon performs a second impressive leap, this time landing on top of the airport itself.. Sprinting as hard as he can, the half demon can do nothing but follow the fain smell of the Higurashi house hold. However, him getting there won't be as easy as he would like, as his little stunt in the passenger airplane almost immediately garners attention from Tokyo's finest. Along with airport security, the members of the Japan law enforcement await the half demon in front of the airport... guns drawn.*

Inuyasha: "DAMMIT!"

*There is no hesistation on his part, he instintively leaps off of the roof of the Airport, and over the growing army of police on the ground, who instantly fire their weapons in his direction! Dispite his agility, he's grazed in the arm by a bullet!*

Inuyasha: "ARRGHH!! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!"

*Inuyasha lands on the ground, holding his now bleeding arm, BURNING with pain! He doesn't like it!*

Inuyasha: "Fine. You want a fight?!?"

*Tessaiga is unsheathed!*

Cop: "SWORD! FIRE!"

Inuyasha: "WIIIIIIINDDD SCARRRRRRRRRR!!!"

*The column of ki strikes the police cars, causing a chain reaction of instant explosions through the city block! It takes out the first blockade of cops, but as Inuyasha is about to find out, taking out a dozen cars in a city used to super human attacks is damn near useless!*

Inuyasha: "Damnit.. More of them!"

*As the Police to Offender ratio reaches Liberty City proportions, Inuyasha goes to plan B... RUNNING.*

Inuyasha: "I don't have time for this! Kagome needs me!"

*There's no other alternative. The half demon makes his escape over the roof tops of several high rise buildings, with speed and agility that no one on the police force can match! The officers can only watch as their target escapes into the concrete jungle.*

Inuyasha: "HAHAHA! LOOOSERRRRRSSS!!!"

*One of the officers reaches for his walkie talkie...*

Cop: "Sir.. Target has escaped. Repeat. We lost the Target."

"No need to be worried officer. I know where he is going. Assemble the entire precinct and follow my coordinates, then bring Inuyasha to me."

Cop: "..Let's go."

*Elsewhere, Soma Higurashi peers up at the sacred tree. He's been without his sister before, but this time, it's different. This time he knows that she's not off in another time having an adventure with close friends.. This time...*

Inuyasha: "Hey, Kid."

Soma: "Inuyasha!"

*Kagome's little brother gives the half demon a hug, thus putting Inuyasha in the most uncomfortable position he's been in all week.*

Inuyasha: "Enough with the mushy crap already!"

Soma: "Have you found her?? Have you found Kagome??"

Inuyasha: "I just found out about her missing last night. What do you know about the incident??"

Soma: "Well.. She left for her big midterm and.. Well she never came home."

*Inuyasha can only think about going back to Anime City and stabbing Jeice through the chest with the Tessaiga. That whole UCTF thing had been a waste of freaking time, and look where it's gotten him! Together, Inuyasha and Soma walk toward the edge of the Higurashi property.*

Soma: "And you don't even know where she is! What are we going to do!?"

Inuyasha: "I'll have to start looking at the school."

Soma: "We already tried that Inuyasha! NOBODY'S seen her!"

Inuyasha: "Nobody you asked has my sense of smell. If I can get a hold of that in the area... I should be able to find a trail that'll lead me right into the sons of bitches that kidnapped her."

*He looks down at Soma.*

Inuyasha: "..and when I find them, they're not only going to wish that they weren't born, but they're going to wish that their parents were never born."

Soma: "Good, I–... wait.. Do you feel that... rumbling?"

Inuyasha: ".. Yeah.. What is that?"

*The rumbling under their bare feet is the sound of a caravan of police vehicles driving onto the Higurashi clan's plot.*

Inuyasha: "w..what the.. How did they find me?!"

Soma: "Oh God.. What did you do?!"

Inuyasha: " I kind of.. Got into a fight on the way over here..."

*Kagome's mother and grandfather exit the household in time to see the barrells of several dozen guns, all cocked and ready to fire in their direction!*

Inuyasha: "Alright. I guess I'll have to defeat each and every one of them right now. Soma, get everyone in the house. I'll take care of this."

*He prepares to unsheath the blade, until he's unceremoniously SLAPPED in the back of the head by none other than Mrs. Higurashi herself!*

"Mrs. H: The hell you will Inuyasha! You'll only get yourself, and us killed. Now what is this all about?!"

Police: "Under Tokyo Law, you are hereby under arrest for harboring a fugitive of the law. Everyone, lay down on your stomachs and put your hands behind your head!"

Soma: "...Great. You've got us all arrested. I'm going to have a police record at EIGHT. Thanks a lot!"

Inuyasha: "...Damn."

*An hour later, Inuyasha and the Higurashi family, now in custody, sit in silence inside a 16 x 16 holding cell. Things are slowly declining from bad to worse. Inuyasha with his head slunk low in the corner, can only think about his recent failures. He hasn't found one piece of the sacred jewel yet. The UCTF idea was a bust. Kagome's gone, and now He's imprisoned.*

Inuyasha: "All I had to do was be patient, and none of this would have happened. Shit. I can't do anything right these days, can I?"

*A few armed men walk to the cell, unlocking the door.*

Cop: "Inuyasha. Someone wants to speak with you."

Inuyasha: "..."

Mrs. H: "Go. We'll be fine. Maybe this all has to do with Kagome."

Inuyasha: "Right. I'll be back."

*As reluctant as he is, he doesn't resist. The half-demon leaves the cage, and is escorted out of the holding area, and into an elevator. A few stories later, he is walked across a very long hall and into the single room that this particular floor holds. The door has a glass window, with the word's "Chief Kurana" sealed into it.*

Inuyasha: "What is this about."

Cop: "Or Chief wants to talk to you in private about the incident you caused at the Airport today."

*The door opens, revealing a lavish office fit for a Hollywood executive. One of a kind paintings cover the walls, velvet curtains allow only a small amount of sunlight to enter the room, and in the corner is an antique piano. It's proof that this Police Chief enjoys what he does for a living.*

Kurana: "Let him in and return to your posts."

Cop: "Sir, with all due respect, he destroyed five police cars in one swipe today!"

Kurana: "I appreciate your concern, officer, but I everything is under my control."

Cop: "... Yes sir."

*The cops uncuff the half demon, allowing him to walk freely into the room. Once Inuyasha enters, he turns to the right, catching his first glimpse of the Chief of Police. He's younger than expected, with long flowing black hair behind his back. Sitting with his arms crossed, the Chief gives the half breed a smirk.*

Kurana: "I knew that sooner or later, you'd draw attention to yourself in the most ridiculous manner possible."

Inuyasha: "..."

Kurana: "What's wrong. Don't recognize me?"

Inuyasha: "Of course I don't, you idiot! I just met you!"

Kurana: ".. I don't know if I should be flattered, or insulted. Granted.. My powers have faded over the last five hundred years, but so much that your sense of smell wouldn't be able to pick it up from this close..."

Inuyasha: "...who the hell are you?"

Kurana: "..you pathetic half-demon."

*That's all Inuyasha needs to hear, reaching for the sheathed Tessaiga as fast as he can! But it's not fast enough, as the Chief's arm reaches out, turning into a tree-trunk sized pure of demonic energy claw that snatches the half demon from where he stands, before slamming him into the far wall.*

Inuyasha: ARRGHHH!! What the?!

*As he feels the very life being crushed out of him, Inuyasha slowly turns to the door that he just entered.. This time, focusing harder on the word "Kurana" glossed over on the door... The Hirigana catches him...*

Inuyasha: ...n..na...ra.....ku...

*The Chief's body fully changes from it's human base, into it's natural, full demonic form. The half demon is speechless. He wants to speak, but NOTHING comes out.*

Naraku: You and I... Have a lot of business to discuss, Half Demon.

Part 3

Inuyasha: "you... BASTARD!"

*Despite the shock of seeing his arch-nemesis standing before him in the flesh in the 21st Century, the half-demon's fighting instincts remain intact. Fighting through the pressure that will no doubt, crush his body within the next few seconds, Inuyasha matches to grab a hold of the hilt of his faithful Tessaiga. Upon unsheathing, the mighty blade flares up, doubling it's size. The blade performs it's job by cutting down the demonically grown arm of Naraku, freeing it's master. Now with a clear shot to his target, Inuyasha simply reacts, leaping across the giant office space through the flying detached pieces of Naraku's flesh! Inuyasha twists violently, putting his ENTIRE body weight into the swing of his Tessaiga. He's determined, more now than at any time to defeat his most loathed enemy! Naraku teleports himself out of harm's way a quarter of a second before he's cut down. Reappearing directly behind and underneath the half demon, Naraku sends Inuyasha through... THROUGH the ceiling with an uppercut! Inuyasha creates a second hole, as Gravity pulls him back down several feet across the office space! Using great agility, Inuyasha flips right-side up, landing on his feet in a crouching position.*

Naraku: "You've slowed down, half-demon. Or tell me.. Is something else on your mind."

Inuyasha: "...It was you all along, wasn't it? You were involved in Kagome's disappearance. You were involved in having her family arrested!"

*Not giving Naraku a chance to answer, Inuyasha charges his enemy a second time! When Naraku shoots more vine like extensions of his arm, Inuyasha sidesteps out of the way. Digging his claws in his feet into the closest wall to him to keep his footing, he springs himself off, flying directly into Naraku with his blade reared back for the killing blow! Naraku turns, transforming his free arm into a blade like object to strike and hold back the dog demon's attack.*

Naraku: "I was responsible for summoning you here, dog demon, but the kidnapping of your girlfriend, I had nothing to do with it."

Inuyasha: "LIAR!"

*Inuyasha is sent backflipping from the impact of Naraku's dark energy. Right as Inuyasha lands on his feet, he destroys a flying table that is thrown in his direction by Naraku.. Once again, the two are at a stand off.*

Naraku: "I have nothing to gain by lying. In fact, it sickens me to admit that I am interested in her well being as much as you are."

Inuyasha: "What the hell are you talking about??"

Naraku: "because of her special ability to sense Jewel shards, her safety is my number one priority, just as she is yours."

*Inuyasha growls in anger.. He can barely hold him sanity together! Standing a mere foot away from the man who has dedicated his life to ruining his makes his blood boil.*

Naraku: "She is a great value to me, dog-demon, unlike the rest of your friends, whom I dealt with accordingly."

Inuyasha: "...what?"

Naraku: "That's right, Inuyasha. Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Koga, and even your brother.. I killed every single one of them with my bare hands, and you weren't there to save them."

Inuyasha: "..."

*The dog demon's rage erupts! Charging full speed into Naraku with the Tessaiga aimed at his throat, he puts the being of pure evil THROUGH the office wall and into the empty adjacent room, pinning him into the far wall of THAT room! Naraku managed to get his bladed arm up in time to keep from being decapitated.. The entire time, sporting a sadistic smirk!*

Naraku: "Sesshomaru put up the greatest fight of them all, but in the end fell before my feet."

*Inuyasha is struck with a right, sending the warrior into a spiral before crash landing on the floor. Naraku is instantly on top of him! The broad side of the Tessaiga presses firmly against Inuyasha's neck, protecting it from being sliced open by Naraku.*

Naraku: "But the others? They were so easy to kill, it was truly pathetic."

*The Hanyou monkey flips Naraku off of him before kipping up to his feet.. With his back now to Naraku, Inuyasha twists his entire body around as he builds ki energy into his sword. He unleashes the "WIND SCAR" technique sending mounds of paper and anything else that isn't bolted to the floor flying through the gaping hole of the room and into the original office. Naraku side steps the powerful attack with ease, as it now becomes obvious by the inaccuracy of the move that Inuyasha is letting his anger get the best of him.*

Naraku: "With Miroku, it was only a matter of time before his cursed Kazana wided before engulfing his body, like his grandfather and father before him."

*Inuyasha's grip on the hilt of the Tessaiga slips, as his hands literally begin to quake with anger..*

Naraku: "While I orchestrated the disembowelment of Sango by her own, little baby brother."

Inuyasha: "sh...shut-up."

Naraku: "And the fox... the fox was my favorite.. Watching my minions rip apart at his flesh.. The way he begged and pleaded for you to come save him."

Inuyasha: "ARRRRRRRRRRGGHHHHHHH!!!"

*It's all that Inuyasha can stand to hear! He completely FLIPS OUT on Naraku, charging into him while wildly slashing and swinging the Tessaiga with every bit of energy and strength he has in him! Mentally defeated, he's reduced to a wild animal rabidly attacking his prey!*

Naraku: "That's it, half-demon! Let your hate guide you! There may be hope for you yet!"

*Naraku side steps an attack, before planting Inuyasha FACE FIRST into the floor below! The Tessaiga goes flying, returning to it's normal form! Inuyasha, unable to move, is a mere sitting duck. He can only wait for the final blow from his enemy! He feels like a complete failure, not only was he not there to protect Kagome, but all of his friends in Feudal Japan, dead.. Killed at the hands of the megalomaniac who's easily defeated him as well.*

Naraku: "I could kill you right here, right now dog-demon. God knows that I've waited my entire life to do this to you.. I've waited over five centuries to strike you down... but I will not."

Inuyasha: "You.. You better do it now, because I will never stop trying to kill you! You hear me!"

Naraku: "No Inuyasha.. Not only will you stand down, but you are going to ally yourself with me in order to save your precious Kagome Higurashi."

Inuyasha: "You're out of your FREAKING mind!"

Naraku: "Am I, Inuyasha? Even you can admit that whoever you're dealing with is a bigger threat than I am. Hell, they were able to do something you couldn't in our years of conflict.. They managed to pry the shikon jewel away from me."

*Naraku releases his death grip, before using his magic to restore the office back to his original, untouched condition. Inuyasha stands back up confused and disoriented.*

Naraku: "But not all of it. I was able to hold onto this."

*The Demon reveals a single shard of the Shikon-no-Tama, filled to the brim with dark, EVIL, energy.*

Naraku: "This shard is your only way to track down the one you love. It will draw itself to the remaining shards of the shikon-no-tama.. And of course... raise your current strength to levels you've never thought were possible."

Inuyasha: "Do you th ink I'm an IDIOT Naraku. You think I'm putting that in my body?!"

Naraku: "I think you know that using this is your only chance at strengthening yourself to the point to stand a chance against them. Face it, Inuyasha, without Kagome and her impeccable timing with those holy arrows, you stood no chance against me today. How do you think you'll fair against something infinitely more powerful than I?"

*He tosses the shard across the room, which Inuyasha catches reluctantly.*

Naraku: "My present to you."

Inuyasha: "..."

Naraku: "You're free to go."

Inuyasha: "..That's it? You're just letting me walk out of here?"

Naraku: "I am."

*The Hanyou is powerless to say or do anything. Filled with embarrassment following his defeat, he knows that Naraku is right. Anyone... anything that was able to defeat Naraku in battle when he was fully powered, he is SURELY no match for. As much as it pains him to do so, he clutches the demon energy filled shard and puts it away, before sheathing his blade and walking towards the door.*

Naraku: "Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha: "..."

Naraku: "Take Care."

*The disingenuous words send a chill down the half demon's spine before he leaves the office...*

Hours Later

*Sitting on the back porch of the Higurashi household, Inuyasha sits in silent contemplation over the day's events. He stares deep into the jewel shard, preparing his next move.*

Inuyasha: "This is not going to end well. What do I do now? Where do I go from here? She could be anywhere in the world and I'm here stuck on this shitty little island with no transportation!"

*Closing his fist around the jewel, he closes his eyes...*

Inuyasha: "Even if it means losing my own humanity, Kagome. I will get you back. Whereever you are, try to hang on just a little longer."

"Let's hope that losing your humanity doesn't become an option."

*Inuyasha hears an unfamiliar voice, and in his current state of mind, isn't in the mood for ANY more surprises! He grabs his blade, once more unsheathing the Tessaiga and swinging blindly in the direction the voice came from!*

"Attacking your opponent brashly and indiscriminately. You remind me of myself when I was a young kid."

*Inuyasha slowly turns around, realizing that not only did the being avoid his lightning fast attack, but somehow ended up BEHIND him.*

Inuyasha: "Who the hell are you, and what the hell do you want??!"

*Standing in front of Inuyasha, wearing a black suit against a black tie is Vegeta. The Saiyan Prince.*

Vegeta: "Someone who's going to help you find Kagome, and bring the ones responsible for her disappearance to justice."

*Several hundred feet in the air, a giant airship unclocks, revealing itself to the entire city of Tokyo as it blots out the setting sun. The Juggernaught of technology looms overhead, prematurely bringing night to all of the citizens. Along side the outer rim, the word "CAPSULE" displays prominently above the city.*

Vegeta: "You and I... Have a lot of business to discuss, Half Demon."

*Elsewhere, in an indisclosed location across the world, two men watch over a laboratory from an elevated room.*

"How is the girl?"

Agent: "Not well, however, We may not need the subject anymore sir. The amount of Jewel shards she helped us retrieve was plenty enough to help us research and discover the source of the jewel's true energy."

"And the Prototype?"

Agent: "Should be online and ready to go within a few days sir."

"The Elders will be pleased to hear of our progress. We'll need good results since they're still very upset with us following the loss of Prototype Zero."

*In a dark room in the same location, Kagome Higurashi lays on the cold floor famished and half conscious... Bruised and battered, the japanese girl sheds a single tear, losing hope that her hero will arrive to save her. However, she knows, that even if he does arrive, that even he won't be able to stop the oncoming threat.*

Kagome: "...Inuyasha..."

*Back in the control room, the nameless leader looks through the two way glass window, down open an operating table where a corpse lies, covered in a white cloth.*

"Just a little while longer, master. We were so close last time, only to be stopped. But this time, once we succeed on bringing you back... There will be no one in any realm or dimension to stop you."

"... my master.. Xanthius."

End.
