Izayoi's POV

I growled as I stood to my feet and bared my normal teeth at Naraku. (It's not as effective as it would have been if I had been a half-demon.) Naraku chuckled as he looked at me, amused that I was in such a weak and pathetic state. Why couldn't I feel my spiritual powers? Was I just a defenseless human? Oh if only I had Tensoga or my sacred arrows.

"Such a pleasure to see you again Izayoi," Naraku said with a smirk plastered on his face.

"Too bad I don't feel the same," I huffed. "Now, are you finally going to kill me Naraku? Or are you going to have my Mother or Father come in and do it for you?"

Naraku stood from where he was seated on the ground and walked towards me. "You misunderstand Izayoi," He placed one of his hands to my cheek and I cringed in both fear and disgust. "I do not wish to kill you, yet." Naraku took his hand away from my face. "I need to use you though." 

"Use me? For what, bait?" 

Before I could react, one of Naraku's tentacles came from his body and wrapped itself around my neck, lifting me up from off of the floor and dangling me in the air. I could hardly breathe. It was just like when Arrosa had attacked me back on the mountain. He laughed as I struggled to breathe. 

"Help!" I cried out. "Someone help!" 

3rd Person's POV 

"Help! Someone help!" Tsuyo could recognize that voice from anywhere. It was Izayoi's voice. 

"Izayoi! I'm coming!" he shouted as he ran closer to the castle. 

However, he didn't make it far when a sacred arrow went flying his way. He ducked just in time as the arrow grazed his left shoulder. Tsuyo looked to see that Kagome was standing on the front steps of the castle. She had her lifeless eyes staring straight at him with no expression on her face. The others soon caught up to him but stopped when they saw Kagome. 

"I'll hold her off," Arrosa said. "The rest of you go ahead and find Izayoi. Hurry!" Before they could argue, Kagome sent another arrow their way. Arrosa placed up a sacred barrier that stopped the attack. "Go!" 

The others nodded and ran in another direction to try find a different way into the castle. As they did so, a large boomerang was sent their way. Ayuma was quick enough to stop the others as the boomerang sailed by. Ayuma and Kayuma looked up to a tree to see that Sango was there. Kilala whimpered as the demon slayer jumped from the tree branch and prepared to swing her boomerang again. 

"I've got this one," Ayuma insisted as she took out her double blades. "I'll help hold her off." 

"Me too," Kayuma said as she took out her boomerang. She wasn't about to let her sister fight on her own. 

"Now go!" both twins shouted at the same time. (Again, twin moment!) 

The group of now just boys, began running again as Sango fought her two daughters without any remorse. 

"Will they be okay?" Tsuyo asked. 

Mochigo nodded. "They're my sisters. They'll be fine." 

Finally, they found an entrance to the castle that wasn't blocked by an enemy. Tsuyo, Mochigo and Shippo ran inside and went down a long hall as fast as they could. When they turned the corner though, they came face-to-face with Miroku, who was also under the control of Naraku. 

"Go," Mochigo spoke before anyone could say anything. "I'll fight Father." 

"I'll stay with you Mochigo," Shippo said. "Tsuyo you go save Izayoi and quick." 

Tsuyo nodded as he ran right past Miroku and down the hall, following his nose to where Izayoi's scent was. As he got closer, he noticed something strange about her scent. It no longer had any demon blood behind it. "Oh no," Tsuyo realized. "Izayoi's turned human! Hold on Izayoi! I'm almost there!" 

Izayoi's POV 

I could hear someone calling me. It couldn't be...Tsuyo? "T-T-Tsuyo?" I gasped. 

I could tell Naraku was irritated when he heard me say that. He looked at the door and I saw Papa standing there. "Deal with the wolf." Naraku instructed. 

Papa nodded and then left the room as I tried to claw my way free with my stubby fingernails. I couldn't let Papa fight Tsuyo. 

3rd Person's POV 

Tsuyo ran as fast as he could until he found the last room in the castle. He was almost there when a figured stepped out of the room. Tsuyo stopped when he realized this was Inuyasha, Izayoi's Father. He remembered the last time the two had met. Inuyasha had pushed him out of the way when he was knealing over Izayoi's lifeless body. "Leave," Inuyasha said in a lifeless voice. "Master Naraku wants you dead." 

Tsuyo smirked. "I kind of figured that out," he responded. "Listen Inuyasha, you're under mind control. Snap out of it. You're daughter is in danger!" 

That didn't seem to bother Inuyasha at all. He just stood there with no expression on his face. 

"You know, I figured I would have to fight you to get to Izayoi," Tsuyo said as he got in a defensive stance. "I just didn't think it would be like this." 

Izayoi's POV 

There was fighting going out in the hall. I could hear Tsuyo and Papa charging at each other. No matter how much I struggled, I couldn't break free. 

Just as I felt myself slipping away, I heard a loud crash. I opened my eyes to see Tsuyo had crashed into the room. He was breathing heavily as Papa began to use his sword to slice at the injured wolf demon. Naraku laughed. "Kill him now Inuyasha." Naraku said. 

That's when I snapped. I could feel my heart rate increasing. My breathing sped up and I could feel my blood boiling with rage. It felt like...like my whole body was on fire. After that, everything else was just, blurry. 

3rd Person's POV 

Just when Inuyasha was about to use the sword on Tsuyo, he heard Naraku let out a loud grunt. He looked to see that Iziyaoi had broken free from the tentacle that was holding her. Her demon blood was back...but, there was no human blood this time. 

"I-I-Izayoi?" Tsuyo hesitantly asked. 

Izayoi looked up revealing two purple stripes on her cheeks, her eyes were red, her hair had changed from a midnight black to a snow white, her dog ears, fangs, and claws reappeared, and her irises were blue. She was a full demon. 

"Naraku!" she growled in a raspy voice as she charged the demon. With her long claws, she sliced at his body that was ripped apart by her claws, surprising everyone. 

How? Naraku thought. How is it possible that she was able to rip my body? i must retreat for now. A barrier soon formed around the bits of Naraku as he rose into the air. Izayoi jumped though and tried to attack the demon but could not reach him. 

"Naraku you beast!" she yelled in a raspy voice. "Fight me!" 

Naraku smirked. "We shall fight another day Izayoi." With that, he disappeared along with Inuyasha and his other servants. 

Izayoi stood there with anger on her face that said "Come near me and you die". The others soon arrived and saw their friend in her demonic state and became shocked. "Naraku!" she shouted with rage. 

"S-She transformed," Ayuma said. 

"Just like Inuyasha had done. " Shippo added. 

Izayoi went from staring at the sky to looking at her friend but not with a face of rage. No, she had a look of surprise. She looked at her hands that had been stained with Naraku's blood and then at the others. What had she done? 

"I...I did this, didn't I?" she asked in her normal voice.

The others were shocked but solemnly nodded. Tears gathered in her eyes as Izayoi sank to her knees and cried into her bloodstained hands. Tsuyo slowly approached Iziyaoi and placed his arms around her body. She didn't do anything but allowed the scent of Tsuyo to overtake her. Izayoi closed her eyes for a moment as her white hair went back to its midnight color except for the tips, the stripes disappeared from her face, her fangs and claws shrunk, and her eyes went back to being its golden-brown mix. 

She looked up at Tsuyo. "W-What happened?" she asked. "Did I...hurt anyone?" Tears threatened to spill once more.

Tsuyo shook his head and held her tighter. "No. But you sent Naraku running with his tail between his legs." Izayoi soon passed out from pure exhaustion. 

Izayoi's POV 

When I awoke, I sort-of remember what happened, sort of don't. I remember getting real hot and then finding myself in Tsuyo's arms with Naraku's blood in my hands. We were back in Kaede's village and the others filled me in. 

"Izayoi, how do you feel?" Kayuma asked. 

"Honestly," I said. "I don't know."
