Walking in the forest with Ryuk, Light couldn’t help but shudder in terror at the odd sounds and movements going on all around him. In all, the forest was slightly peaceful, but the fact of knowing what inhabited it was enough to make his skin crawl. He was displeased with his lack of resources in which to do some hanyou-related research with, but was also thrilled and excited with the challenge.
“Hey, Ryuk?” He questioned; curious in how Ryuk would respond.
“Yes, Light?”
“If Inuyasha has the Death Note, how come you’re not with him?”
“I- uh… He kinda isn’t very hospitable.” Ryuk stuttered, obviously uncomfortable with the real reason.
“You mean you’re scared of him?” Light asked delightedly at the shinigami’s cowardice.
“U-Uh, NO! I am a Death God for Heaven’s sake! Of course I’m not scared of a lousy old hanyou!” Light burst out laughing.
“Ohhh Ryuk! You poor thing! Well, now you’re stuck with him!” Ryuk bristled at the lack of respect coming from Light and made to retort when all of the sudden, a tall, wind-blown man appeared on the trail. The young man had long, straight, black hair that was swept back into a ponytail. His smirk betrayed two, pearly-white, lethal fangs and his glittering blue eyes spoke of arrogance. The guy wore fur pelts for clothes, and fur leg and arm warmers, decorated with armor around the torso. But more noticeable then the dangerous looking hands tipped with extra-long claws, was the pack of wolves behind him. As he spoke, the smirk disappeared and was replaced with a suspicious glare.
“Who are you and why are you talking about dog-crap?” The man, -er ‘thing’ asked. There was no way this creature was human, for his ears tapered into a sharp point at the tip and his gait was more akin to sprinting than it was to walking. Light watched as the creature’s blue, heavily lashed, eyes passed over Ryuk with disgust.
“Hey stupid! I asked you a question!” He yelled. Light could tell this guy would be the egotistical type.
“Uh- er… well, he sort of has something of mine and I need it back.” Light said, attempting a self-confident tone. This was going nowhere fast and Light had the odd feeling that his life was in grave danger at this point, if the hungry, growling wolves were any indication.
“Yah, well, that’s what that stupid mutt is famous for! You’re not the only one he’s stolen from.” Light’s ears perked at the sound of animosity dripping from the guy’s words. He had an idea…
“You know Inuyasha?” Light asked. He hoped more than anything that this attempt would be fruitful.
“Unfortunately.” The man said venomously. If words could kill…
“Uhmmm, I have a few questions for you, sir. I am more than certain that I can help you if you can answer these questions.” The creature’s face remained arrogant and aloof.
“Why the hell would I want help from a human? I can get Kagome back by myself!” Light had to think quickly. He could only come up with one other thing to do, and he didn’t know how to do it.
“Wait!” He shouted instantly. The creature was getting more than visibly angry and impatient now, so Light quickly pulled out the small, torn paper from the inside of his wristwatch and held it up in front of the… thing.
“This,” he said with emphasis, “is a piece of paper that you can kill any human with by simply writing their names on it.” He said, unsure if he should go any further.
“Oh yah? These,” he mocked, holding up his hands so his claws would glint menacingly in the sunlight, “can kill any human or demon by simply slicing through their scrawny necks, so I think you should be getting out of my way now!”
“Well, I think we would make a great team. We both need something from Inuyasha, I can strategize and you can fight… Together, we can get what we want.”
The demon’s eyes turned from condescending, to thoughtful as he mulled over Light’s words. Light internally applauded himself for his persuasion skills and his amazing ability to BS his way out of anything!
“So, you’re saying you’ll plan everything out, and I’ll do all the fighting, right?” The furry dude asked, looking at Light with skeptical eyes.
“Absolutely. I can cook too.” On that, the demon smiled and held out his hand.
“Deal.” He said. Light took the large, calloused hand and shook.
“Deal.” He repeated, wondering if this was the right thing to do. He then had an idea and kept a hold on the thing’s hand.
“Oh and one more thing. Seeing as how I’m a human and unable to fight, I will be needing your services to keep myself intact.” Light said, making sure he wouldn’t be killed during his stay in the Sengoku Jedai.
“You mean like a body guard?” Koga asked, obviously not liking that idea.
“You could say that.” Light said.
“You’re making me just like that mutt! Only, he’s the body guard for three humans! But, if you can get me back my Kagome, I’ll do it. However, if you screw up, my wolves will be picking you out of their teeth.” He growled out; it was no idle threat. Light smiled though, the feeling of victory making his steps lithe with a hint of bounce.
“By the way, the name is Kira.” He didn’t want the other guy to know his real name, just for security purposes. Plus, when partners with this fighting machine/monster, he had to be as threatening and sinister as possible to maintain his pride, and the name Kira was much more intimidating than Light.
“I’m Koga. You can travel with my pack for now. But start thinking about our first move, because I’m itching to see Kagome again.” The gleam in Koga’s eye was unmistakable as he spoke of the girl. Could Kagome be that pretty young woman in the school uniform? No matter, a plan was already forming in his mind, and he could almost taste the Death Note. Once again, he would have his power back.

Ryuk couldn’t help but chuckle as he watched the exchange from a nearby bush. Did Light even realize that he had left?

DAMN! That hurrrt! Ichigo had cut across Inuyasha’s chest and left it bleeding profusely. Of course, Ichigo wasn’t unscathed either, seeing as how a thick stream of crimson was flowing from his forehead all the way down his face, neck and under his robes to slide down his chest. Both teens had plenty of blood covering their bodies and plenty of cuts carved into their skin, but both were also fighting ferociously and not showing any signs of stopping.
“BLADES OF BLOOD!” Inuyasha yelled after drenching his claws in his own blood. Ichigo tarried the attack with his sword, but one blade managed to escape as it sliced across his arm, earning a yelp of pain from the blonde.
“You done yet?” Inuyasha taunted him with a smirk.
“Never!” Ichigo yelled in defiance.
“It’s your funeral, kid!” Inuyasha lunged once again at the shinigami for all he was worth. He wasn’t going to lie, Ichigo had skills with a sword, but that was no match for Inuyasha’s years of experience with defending himself. Ichigo then cut a gash into Inuyasha’s left shoulder, forcing the hanyou to fight with just one arm. The bad thing about it, however, was that Inuyasha was left-handed, and not only that, but was also used to fighting with two hands. Inuyasha, though, handled himself well and ended up getting Ichigo cut up in many places, amazed that he was still conscious despite the substantial blood loss. Ichigo had lost much more blood than Inuyasha and wouldn’t have much longer if the fight kept up. In one opportunistic moment, when the teen left himself open, Inuyasha slit the chest area directly under Ichigo’s throat and immediately picked up on the shocked look in Ichigo’s eyes. Ichigo ceased the fighting as he doubled over a few feet from Inuyasha. If Inuyasha really wanted to kill the inexperienced teen, he would’ve done so then, but Inuyasha was above attacking people when they were at their most vulnerable. Ichigo was now grabbing at his head and falling to his knees as a panicked look latched onto his bloody face. His head shook from side to side rapidly as if he was telling someone, or something, no. Ichigo’s eyes then began to turn black with gold irises. A mask appeared over his face at that moment and Inuyasha began to sense an evil in the vicinity. The mask was only half way finished and Ichigo began to scream and laugh all at the same time. Inuyasha could tell that he was fighting the transformation, but was losing horribly. With the growing evil coming from Ichigo, Inuyasha could also feel himself being called by his own inner beast and had to fight and grip his sword tighter to keep himself in check. However, once Ichigo’s transformation was complete and Kagome’s scent was back in the area, Inuyasha’s demon blood gave one loud scream before the new Ichigo hacked at Tetsuiaga, making it fly at high speeds out of his hand. The inu-demon was now taking over Inuyasha’s veins and forcing every drop of human blood in him all the way out. However, before he completely lost all sanity, the last thing Inuyasha heard were the frightened screams of his and Ichigo’s names.
Sorry Kagome… With blood red eyes, elongated claws, and the tribal markings of his heritage decorating his cheeks, he lunged at the masked shinigami before him.


“Kaede-Sama!? Are you here?” Kagome yelled at the hut, unsure if Kaede was in the garden or the hut, or if she was there at all.
“Yes, child. I’m here in the hut.” Kagome and Rukia entered the small hut of the old priestess and sat gingerly on the floor, tired of the standing.
“What is it ye need, Kagome?” She asked softly. Kagome squirmed where she sat. She didn’t know if this was necessary, but if Ichigo was anything like Inuyasha, then it was.
“Well, Rukia has a little problem with her shinigami partner, Ichigo, and we were wondering if you could help us.” Kagome smiled sweetly and clasped her hands together.
“I’m sorry, child, I do not sell love potions. I’m a priestess, not a witch.” Rukia blushed a dark red and Kagome giggled, also slightly embarrassed.
“Actually, Kaede-Sama, we need the opposite! Do you think you could get us…

“Rukia-Chan, if Ichigo fell off a twenty-story tall building, would he live?” Kagome asked, not knowing for sure of Ichigo’s physical limits.
“Well, if he was in his human form, then no, I’m guessing not. But the form he’s in now, his shinigami form, then yes.” Rukia asked; curious why her new friend would ask such a question.
“Would it hurt him?” Kagome asked.
“Um, that depends on if he lands on his feet or not. If not, then yes, but it wouldn’t cause any substantial injuries. There would be no broken bones.”
“Good!” Kagome smiled. Ichigo was in the perfect condition, then. This would work out perfectly! However, as they walked upon the fight, they both gasped aloud as they saw their friends (or more? :DD) covered in blood, transforming into their dangerous alter-egos.
“Inuyasha!”
“Ichigo!”
Both girls were panicked as they realized the fight had gotten way out of hand and had to stop then and there. Rukia knew she was no match for Ichigo in this form and Kagome knew that if she sat Inuyasha, the scary Ichigo would kill him, so the girls thought fast. Kagome grabbed her friend’s shoulders, shaking her so that she would look into her eyes.
“Rukia, are you ready to do it?” She asked; feeling a little more than pressed for time as Ichigo knocked Tetsuiaga out of Inuyasha’s hand, completing the gruesome transformation. Rukia shook her head in affirmative, her eyes much bigger with fear for her Ichigo. The fighting continued, except this time, in a much more lethal manner.
“Ok, take these.” Rukia held the small objects in her hand as Kagome chanted. At once, the thing Rukia had was around Ichigo’s neck and Kagome told her what to do next.
“Say the word!” She shouted. Rukia opened her mouth to say what she had in mind when all of the sudden, Kon flew through the air, his plush arms outstretched towards Kagome’s chest.
“Kon!” Rukia screamed in terror as Kagome swatted the toy away from her chest; the plushie plummeting to the ground at break-neck speeds as Ichigo did the same. Rukia whipped around as she heard Ichigo’s yell of pain. At the same time, she heard Kagome snap out of her shock at a flying plushie/lion and yell her word of submission,
“SIT!!” and with that, Inuyasha joined Ichigo in the dirt.
“Kagome! What happened to Inuyasha and Ichigo?!?” Rukia asked, shocked that they would both just fly into the ground.
“It’s the beads,” Kagome explained, “that make them fall into the ground. What happened to Ichigo’s face?!” Rukia didn’t remember Kagome telling her that those beads of hers made the wearer fall into the ground with a single word.
“Kagome, what powers do these beads have?”
“All I have to do is say the magic words and they go around the target’s neck. When you decide on a word of submission, like mine, sit, that word will cause the wearer of the magic beads to stop whatever they were doing before immediately.” Rukia’s eyes glittered with the thought of having Ichigo at her mercy and completely forgot to ask Kagome how they did it.
“Oh yes! I saw Inuyasha with these on too!” She exclaimed in delight at having remembered.
“Yah! Inuyasha is completely helpless against these!”
Ohhhh… So that’s what Kagome meant by the beads making them ‘stop whatever they were doing before immediately’. Rukia chuckled a little when she realized what her word of submission was.
“Kagome! Wait! It’s still dangerous!” Rukia yelled as she saw Kagome walking down to the battlefield.
“It’s ok, Rukia! They’ve calmed down now!” Kagome yelled back with confidence. Sure enough, as Rukia looked at Ichigo, his face finally coming out of the self-made hole, she noticed that the half-of-a-mask was gone, and his trademark scowl was now a tad more panicked as he sat up and began to struggle with his new necklace.
“Damnit! Rukia! What the hell was that!?” Rukia ran over to Ichigo and knelt on the ground next to him. He yanked on the necklace with a new found determination, trying with all his might to remove the offending accessory.
“It’s that necklace. All I have to do now is say ‘the word’, so don’t do anything stupid again! I had to do it, Ichigo. It was for your own good.” Finally Ichigo ceased his struggle with the piece of jewelry and with that, he stood up and popped his aching back.
“Thank you.” His black silhouette was beautiful against the bon-fire sunset and she stood up next to him.
“You are welcome.” She said; knowing full well how much he hated his weakness against his hallow.
“Just, please don’t use this unless you have to.” He pleaded, trying, once again, to yank the necklace off in vain.
“Ok, I promise.” She said. In the background, she could hear Inuyasha chewing Kagome out for using it, but in the end, she heard him telling Kagome that he would never allow Tetsuiaga to be out of his hands again. What had come over him? It’s like he did the same thing Ichigo did. It was as if he had lost himself. He almost looked scarier than Ichigo, with the jagged markings on his cheeks and the red and blue eyes and the larger-than-life, lethal claws. The remembrance of how his discarded haori and under-kimono left his bloody, muscular chest quivering and rippling with the insanity of the beast he became made her stomach turn over. The sound of his ragged breathing tore through her mind, leaving her weak. She shuddered as she thought about the two boys, one savage, one masked. She knew she would have nightmares tonight. But to keep up her calm and collected façade that she had worked so hard to achieve over her many years, she had to shake off the horrid memory of the two frightening beasts and keep her voice even.
“Now to take care of Kon.” Rukia said. And with that, Ichigo went face first into the hard ground, creating an Ichigo-shaped hole.
