Under the sky of a partly cloudy night, in a common rural village of those that can be found anywhere in feudal Japan, a most dangerous situation is taking place.
The simple houses made of wood, the earth that makes up the roads and even the wells around the village. Everything seems to be burning from a distance, though strangely these flames don't seem to set the things they come in contact with on fire.
"Hey furball, watch where you're shooting your flames at, you're deaf stop shooting over here!"
"Shippo... Maybe you should stop bothering him."
Speaking in a helpless voice, Kagome who holds Shippo in her arms gives him a small rebuke, though it doesn't seem to work until another stray flame grazes Shippo's face, finally making him shut up and cower in her arms.
While that situation was going on in heaven, on earth, the monk Miroku begins to help the still living villagers off the battlefield. All that would be normal and good-natured, of course, if he wasn't taking advantage of the situation to flirt with the girls of the village.
"Your Excellency..."
"Ha ha ha ha. Sango you were down here too. I thought you'd stay out of it because of your injuries?"
Letting out a highly uncomfortable laugh, Miroku quickly releases the young woman's hand and slowly turns his face to observe Sango. The beautiful young woman is wearing a costume that looks like it was made specifically for fighting and a huge boomerang that appears to be composed of a finely refined whole bone.
"I couldn't see from the heights, while the people down here suffer and I can tell that help wouldn't hurt your excellency."
"Certainly young Sango, I could use quite a bit of help if."
*Booooom*
"We'd better hurry, before even more houses fall on people."
Nodding between the two of them, both Miroku and Sango, ignore the huge explosion generated by the flames rising into the sky and start rescuing anyone left under the rubble.
Further away from that place and in the center of an area that is totally destroyed, both Inuyasha and the second demon created by Naraku look at each other face to face.
"Ha... ha... ha... ha... Tsh."
"Hehehe. What's wrong Inuyasha, are you tired, do your wounds hurt? Hehehehe."
Clicking his tongue at the words emerging from the demon's long maw, Inuyasha lifts Steel Fang which is embedded in the ground and ignoring his bleeding wounds, advances straight towards his foe out of sheer will.
"Hehehehe, I don't even need to read your mind to know what you're going to do... You're so obvious. hehehehe."
His punches were easily dodged by the latter, as although the demon's body was certainly disproportionate, it doesn't work against him, but rather takes advantage of that to confuse Inuyasha and make him miss a lot of punches.
"Steel claws!"
"Hehe, Ahgst!"
The predatory smile on the demon's face crumbles, as he feels a gait of blood crystals embed in his flesh and while he is confused, Inuyasha takes advantage of that to hit him with the blade of his sword, as if it were a baseball bat.
*¡Boom!*
"Why, why, why! No, no, no... You're not the same as him... You're not thinking about anything, no that's not it either... You're totally going against your thoughts!"
"What's the use of knowing that... When I kill you!"
Without giving the demon who had just emerged from the rubble any time to get his bearings, Inuyasha spat out the blood that had pooled in his mouth and boasted loudly, before running at full speed to continue his attack.
Inuyasha's slashes were absolutely irrational, up, down, left and right, everything in his path was slashed or crushed by Steel Fang. Inuyasha remained at the forefront of the fight for a few minutes, though slowly his speed began to wane, a clear reminder of his weakened physical state in which he finds himself.
"Ha... Ha... I'm going to finish you off!"
Wielding Steel Fang in front of his body, Inuyasha momentarily stops his relentless assault and begins to normalize his labored breathing, before suddenly opening his eyes as if he had seen something in particular.
"Come dirty, hanyou!"
"Slashing wind!"
Leaping towards the demon as a strange energy surrounds his sword, Inuyasha shouts what seems to be the name of a technique and launches a downward slash that seeks to split the demon in half. In a complete and total turn of events, the demon takes Steel Fang in its teeth, before nibbling at the blade with its massive maw.
*Crack* *Crack* *Crack* *Crack* *Crack*
It was a silent noise, but it seemed to spread throughout the battlefield as if it was the only thing in the whole world. One of the swords with which Inu no Taisho dominated feudal Japan, one of the three swords of conquest and which bears the title of being Totosai's masterpiece... It was shattered under Inuyasha's stunned gaze.
"Wh, Wh... What? What? Steel Fang..."
"Despair~ uncertainty~ such tasty emotions."
The sadistic voice reaches out from the demon's maw, but the loudest shock comes when it spits the piece of Steel Fang to the side, as if it were garbage. Absolutely enjoying the state of confusion Inuyasha seems to fall into, due to the sudden loss of his sword, the demon swipes at him with its elongated purple tail and shoots him towards one of the multiple houses nearby.
*¡Boom!*
A huge cloud of dust rises into the sky, a demonstration of the brute force behind the blow coming from that demon. The structure of the rudimentary house, seemingly unable to withstand the damage, collapses in on itself, causing even more damage to Inuyasha who is trapped down there.
"Did he die, can't I hear anything, what is this I feel!"
Shouting in alarm at some situation, the demon quickly steps back a few paces, raises its guard and fixes its scrutinizing gaze on the remains of the building. The demon's reward for waiting was an arm that is clearly Inuyasha's emerging from the wreckage and as if on cue, an insane amount of demonic energy begins to occupy the surroundings.
