The others followed Tsukiko as she leads the way to find master Ungai,
As they rush through the forest, many screams of demons being exterminate rings though the air.
With each passing time, many demons have been slaughtered. Tsukiko can feel the crystal fragment grew darker.
"He's close by!" Tsukiko said then they heard another scream,
"Damn it! How many has he killed!?" Inuyasha said
"I don't know...I've lost count," Kagome said
When they emerged from the forest, they found Master Ungai along with his disciples.
There's a dark aura around master Ungai and around his disciples as well.
His disciples eyes no longer have their light, and are now empty in red as though their soul have left their body.
"What in the...!" Miroku and the others are also shocked to see master Ungai and his disciples in a horrible state.
"..damn you...Fuyukotsu!!" Tsukiko cursed,
"Ohh...I thought who it was, it's you all..." Master Ungai said, he turns to look a them...his eyes are filled with darkness and insanity,
"Master Ungai..."
"Grrr! You old geezer I can't believe you fall for his trap!" Inuyasha shouted,
"What are you saying?" Master Ungai asked,
"Don't play dumb! We know that you're working with a guy name Fuyukotsu!" Inuyasha said
"I'm surprise that you figured out such thing," Master Ungai said
"Grrr! Listen! You're swallowed up by darkness you have to stop! Right now!" Tsukiko shouted taking a step forward,
"I cannot believe that you still side with these demons! After everything I told you," Master Ungai said looking at Tsukiko,
"Master Ungai...Even after everything you said I still cannot bring myself to agree with you...because...I am..." Tsukiko places both of her hands to her chest,
"I am a half breed..." Tsukiko said staring intently at master Ungai "I cannot agree with you...demons and humans can live with each other...demons are not very different from humans...they have friends and comrades...they cry when they lost their precious someone...and...they're hearts are very tender.." Tsukiko said
"What you see in front of you...is proof of my parents love for each other, my mother's human and my father's demon," said with pride in her voice,
"...then..," Master Ungai slowly raise his staff "...Your mother is s fool!!" Master Ungai points his staff at Tsukiko and a powerful force of wind comes gushing out from it,
"Ah! Move move!" Inuyasha shouted, he takes Kagome to safety and Sesshomaru takes Tsukiko as well, the blast destroyed a part of the forest.
"Unbelievable!!" Miroku said
"Half of the forest...," Sango said also shocked,
"His power is stronger than the last time I fought him," Sesshomaru said still floating in the air with Tsukiko is his arms,
"What...? This isn't good..! With the way he is I don't think he can be reasoned with," Tsukiko said
"Then our only option is to strike him!" Sesshomaru said and he takes out Bakusaiga,
But then, Fuyukotsu's puppets started to appear, they all gather around master Ungai as if to protect him, master Ungai uses this chance to escape along with his brainwashed disciples,
"Damn it! ADAMANT BARRAGE!!" Inuyasha's adamant barrage cuts down a few of the puppets but more replace them,
"BAKUSAIGA!!!" Sesshomaru uses his Bakusaiga and eliminates the puppets in his way,
"DRAGON STRIKE!!" Tsukiko summons his dragon strike and eliminates the remaining puppets,
"Come on! We have to catch up!" Tsukiko said and they start running after master Ungai,
"Master Ungai! Stop!" Miroku shouted,
As they try to catch up, the sound of screams of agony filled the air. Every time, they came across many dead demon bodies, and soon there are dead human bodies lying on the ground,
"W-what in the-!?" Kagome looks at the horrible scene around her as they continue to run after master Ungai,
"Grrr! Aggggh! DAMN YOUUU!!" Tsukiko shouted out of anger and uses her fire power to blast herself toward master Ungai,
"Tsukiko wait!" Kagome shouted,
"H-he..help us!!" A man shouted at them, a few men, women and children are injured,
"Sesshomaru! Go on ahead and catch up to Tsukiko," Miroku said and Sesshomaru nodded firmly and went after her.
She blast herself though the forest and finally she's able to see master Ungai. But only himself remains, Tsukiko's eyes shot open.
When she arrives, she sees the dead bodies of master Ungai's disciples the scent of their blood filled the air around her.
"It was necessary..." Master Ungai said as he emerged from behind the trees, his eyes are now black with red pupils. Two horns appear on his forehead, and his staff now has a blade on it's end and is connected to his arm with a strange red flesh.
He is no longer human...but a monster!
"M-master...Ungai.." Tsukiko's frozen in place when she sees him,
"Grrr..." Master Ungai growled animal-like, then he slowly went toward Tsukiko. His eyes are now like a beast's looking at it's prey,
Tsukiko's feats are shaking as she looks at the once kind and human master Ungai is now filled with darkness.
When master Ungai is ready to strike down Tsukiko, his blade swings down toward her.
Tsukiko instinctively shuts her eyes then the sound of metal clashing is heard.
Tsukiko opens her eyes in surprise, and see that Sesshomaru had stopped the spear with Bakusaiga.
"Urgh...! Y-you...!" Master Ungai grunted,
"Keep your blade away from her..!" Sesshomaru said and pushes master Ungai backwards,
He pulls Tsukiko close to him, pressing her against his strong and broad chest. His Bakusaiga pointed toward master Ungai.
"I will protect her from you and Fuyukotsu..!" Sesshomaru said as he glares intently at master Ungai,
"Ha aarrrrrghhh!" Master lunges toward Sesshomaru, he pushes Tsukiko away from harm,
Sesshomaru blocks master Ungai's attack with Bakusaiga,
But it turns out that master Ungai is harder to defeat than he thought, Tsukiko starts to feel anxious.
"Wah! Guh..! Take this!!" Tsukiko uses her fire power and it sends master Ungai back,
Seeing his chance, Sesshomaru went to swing his sword at master Ungai.
"Haaaa!" Sesshomaru jumps toward him,
But master Ungai quickly regains his ground and blocks Bakusaiga.
"Guh! Why you-!" Sesshomaru growled and he increases his strength on his sword,
"Guh..! Haaaargh!" Master Ungai uses the dark power inside him,
"What!?" Sesshomaru's eyes shot open and suddenly he's thrown away and hits a tree, the trees falls along with him,
"Sesshomaru!!" Tsukiko shouted,
"Argh..! Guh!" Sesshomaru groaned, Tsukiko see trails of blood flowing down his forehead,
"Ah...! Sesshoma-wha!" When Tsukiko tried to go toward him, a dark puppet appears in front of her and binds her with it's arms,
"L-let go of me!!" Tsukiko struggles,
Meanwhile master Ungai went toward Sesshomaru, and soon he's in front of Sesshomaru.
"N-no...No! Stop don't do it!!" Tsukiko shouted, then she sees a shadow of Fuyukotsu behind master Ungai and it said "...kill him,"
"...die," Master Ungai said and his spear swings down toward Sesshomaru and wounded him,
"Guugh!" Sesshomaru groaned in pain and he coughs up blood, Tsukiko's eyes shot open and tears started flowing,
"Hugh!...Guh...Arrrrgggh!" Tsukiko screamed in agony,
Her body starts to glow bright and her body started pulsing.
"You...!...You..bastard..!" Tsukiko growled "I WON'T FORGIVE YOU!!!"
Tsukiko shouted at the top of her lungs and her body is covered in the bright light, then her body completely transform.
Her body grew bigger and larger into the form of a beast. Her body is now covered in white fur with the black tattoos that Tsukiko have when she's human. She's almost as big as Sesshomaru when he transforms into his full demon form.
"Grrr!" Tsukiko growled and freed herself from the puppets grasp and smashed it with her paw. Then she sets her eyes toward master Ungai and lunges toward him.
"What!?" Fuyukotsu was also surprised,
Tsukiko buries her fangs into master Ungai's body.
"Gaaaagh!" Master Ungai screams,
"Grrr! Grrrrr!" Tsukiko growled and threw master Ungai toward a tree,
"Guh-ugh!" Master Ungai groaned, his body is covered in wounds from Tsukiko's fangs.
"Ugh...wh...what?" Sesshomaru slowly opens his eyes, his vision is still blurry but he can see the white beast before his very eyes.
Tsukiko turns his head to Sesshomaru, her eyes staring down toward Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru instantly realized that this beast is actually Tsukiko. His eyes shot open from the shock,
"Tsu..Tsuki..ko?" Sesshomaru called out her name as is he is seeing something unbelivable,
Tsukiko then turns back to glare at master Ungai who's already up on his feet.
"Grrrr!"
"You...! You...beast...!" Master Ungai said in low and hoarse voice,
"I will kill you!!" Master Ungai said and his spear turns into a more horrifying weapon, it grew bigger and it's blade grew bigger and sharper as well.
"Grrrr!" Tsukiko snarled,
"Haaaaaaa! BEGONE!!!" Master Ungai shouted and another powerful wind came out from his spear, it's heading towards Tsukiko.
But then she stomps her paw onto the ground and large Boulder that goes upward about her size blocks the swirling wind from her and Sesshomaru.
"What!?" Master Ungai was surprised to see her blocking the powerful force,
As soon as the attack subsides, the large Boulder crumbles to the ground.
"Curse you...!" Master Ungai said "Haaaa! BEGONE!!!"
Master Ungai summons a large amount of dark energy from his body and spear. His body grew larger and taller, and he became a gigantic monster.
"Hahaha! AHAHAHAHA!!!" Master Ungai laughs,
But Tsukiko instead runs head on towards him, master Ungai swings his spear down toward Tsukiko, but she dodge every attack master Ungai sent towards her easily. She jumps onto master Ungai's face and breaths fire from her mouth.
The fire burned his face and master Ungai staggers backward. Then Tsukiko lunges toward master Ungai and pierced his chest with her body,
"Gaaaaargh!" Master Ungai screamed in agony from the unbearable pain,
He falls to the ground with a crash, then his body turns back to normal.
A deep wound is now on his chest. Just then, Kagome and the others arrive at the scene.
They're also surprised to see the white beast in front of them,
"W-what is that!?" Shippo asked
"Ugh...!" Then they see Sesshomaru,
"Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha called out and went to his side, supporting his brother's body,
"What happened? Where's Tsukiko and master Ungai?" Inuyasha asked,
"Ungai...Ungai is dead...Tsukiko killed him," Sesshomaru said
"But where is she?" Kagome asked, then Sesshomaru stares at the white beast in front of them,
"HUUUUH!? That's Tsukiko!?" Kagome asked
Sesshomaru walks toward Tsukiko, she slowly walks up to him as well.
"Tsukiko..." Sesshomaru called out her name,
Tsukiko kneeled down towards him with her nozzle,
"Whoa...! Is it you Tsukiko?" Shippo asked, and Tsukiko nodded,
"Unbelievable...she transformed into a beast" Miroku said
"But can she turn back?" Sango asked,
Tsukiko then turns to look at Sesshomaru again, he then place his hand onto her soft fur, stroking it gently. Tsukiko closes her eyes, then her body starts to glow and she transformed back into her human form.
She staggers forward but Sesshomaru caught her in his arms,
"Ugh...that was...tiring.." Tsukiko said
"Is that so?" Sesshomaru asked with an amused smiling face,
"Y-your wound..." Tsukiko places her hand on his chest,
"Don't worry...it will heal," Sesshomaru gives her a reassuring smile,
"Really?...then I'm glad, I was able to protect you," Tsukiko said
"You fool...I was the one who should've protected you," Sesshomaru chuckles,
"Guugh ugh!" Master Ungai choked, the others went toward him,
"Master Ungai..." Miroku said
"It seems I was a fool indeed...I am a failure as a monk..ugh!.." Master Ungai said
"Thank you...Tsukiko...for stopping me.." Master Ungai said
"What's this? You're thanking a half breed," Tsukiko said jokingly, but she couldn't help but cry,
"It would seem I have been wrong...I was blinded by hatred that I fail to see...ugh-guh! If you had not stopped me...I would have already killed many innocent lives...may it be demons or humans...thank you for stopping me...thank you for saving me...young lady," Master Ungai said before breathing his last breath, his body then turns to ashes and the wind blew it away.
"May you rest in peace...master Ungai.." Miroku said
Dawn finally break and the sun is rising in the sky, the sun reflects the crystal fragment and Tsukiko takes it and place it on the crystal...
"It's...it's whole again..." Tsukiko said
"Really!? Alright!!" Kagome and the others joyfully celebrate,
Then the crystal glows brightly and the light from inside the crystal swirls up into the air and enters Tsukiko.
"...do you think that..?" Tsukiko hesitantly kicks her leg into the air and a strong gust of wind appears, signing that her original power, the wind has returned,
The others joyfully celebrate....
Meanwhile....
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!" Fuyukotsu punches the wall over and over in anger,
"That useless monk! And I thought for sure that he would finally kill that annoying girl!" Fuyukotsu said
"Now now master...let's not forget that we have successfully gather a lot of dark energy from the demons and humans he killed," Nobara said
"Sigh...I guess you are right.., but I still need more...this is still not enough!" Fuyukotsu said
"I understand master I will send out more puppets to kill more for you, hehe," Nobara giggled, and disappears from his sight,
"...and the winter crystal has not yet been found...! Where is it!?" Fuyukotsu shouted,
.

Back to Inuyasha's group...
Tsukiko and the others decided to camp out for the night. Koga decided to head to his pack and left the group,
Inuyasha and Miroku along with Shippo as well went to find some food,
While Kagome and Sango prepares the fire and other things.
Tsukiko is helping Sesshomaru with his wound, since it was done by a dark weapon, the wound is slowly healing.
Tsukiko wraps the bandage around Sesshomaru's upper body,
"There we go," Tsukiko said finish wrapping the bandage,
Sesshomaru puts on his clothes without the armor,
"Well then, I should go and help the others ou-whoa!" Before Tsukiko can leave, Sesshomaru pulls her back, and she fell backwards and now she's sitting on Sesshomaru's lap,
He slowly wraps his hand around Tsukiko's waist from behind and settles his chin on her shoulder, Tsukiko can feel his breath on her which made her blush.
"Sesshomaru..wha-what are you..?" Tsukiko became flustered,
"Just for a moment...stay like this...I like your scent..." Sesshomaru said
"D-don't say it like that...it makes me...uncomfortable," Tsukiko said
"Heh! Is that so?.." Sesshomaru turns her face towards him with his finger,
"Are you saying that you dislike me?" Sesshomaru asked,
"T-that's not what I meant! I-I said that if you said things like that...I feel like I don't want to let you..go," Tsukiko said,
"Hmph...you're pretty honest.." Sesshomaru said
"Oh! I-it's your fault for asking a ridiculous question!" Tsukiko said
"Hmph...well that's what I like about you," Sesshomaru said then he plants a kiss on Tsukiko's lips,
"Hmph!" Tsukiko was surprised but soon she surrenders herself to the kiss, closing her eyes. When Sesshomaru pulls away, the two of them are staring at each other,
"If you keep on staring at me like that...I won't be able to stop myself," Sesshomaru said
"What-Hmph!" Sesshomaru then stole another kiss from Tsukiko,
The two of them continued to kiss each other...they're inside their little world where no one interrupts them.
"Where are those two!?" Inuyasha asked,
"Let's just leave them alone!" Kagome said with a smile on her face,
