Chapter 2: The Scars

(At the modern time; after Koga's 'punishment' by Zera's hands)

In the modern time, in the early evening, we find Kagome Higurashi getting out of the Bone-Eater's Well with her oversized backpack with a heartbroken look on her face as she leaves the well house. Before she even left the Feudal Era, she had to do a lot of 'sits' with Koga, who was preventing her from going and the demon that Kagome is angry with, but not as much of herself.

As she entered her house, she calls out, solemnly, "I'm home!" Kagome goes into the kitchen to see her mother making dinner and when she looks at her daughter, she places a smile on her face.

Mrs. Higurashi says, perplexed, "Kagome, you're home so soon! What's wrong?"

Kagome glanced at her mother with tears in her eyes. She wanted to run to her mother and cry on her shoulders. She remembered how she screwed up with Inuyasha by almost getting him killed by Koga as well as hurting him both physically and emotionally and how Koga paid for it with the severe beating he got from Zera and his jewel shards taken away from him. What hurt her mostly was Inuyasha leaving with his sisters and wanting nothing to do with her anymore.

With these thoughts in mind, Kagome looked at her mother and she says, croaky with tears coming down her eyes, "I messed up, mom. I messed up big time."

Mrs. Higurashi places the knife that she was using to cut the meat and she walks over to her daughter, asking, with concern, "What do you mean, dear?"

After several moments of tense silence, Kagome says, solemnly while feeling tears in her eyes, "Inuyasha and I, well, we might not be together anymore."

To say her mother was shocked was an understatement. Mrs. Higurashi was absolutely dumbfounded. She had watched Kagome and Inuyasha dance around their feelings for years, so she was elated when they finally confessed and decided to get married after Kagome finished high school. Although Kagome would have to forgo college – as she would be living in the Feudal Age –her mother wasn't upset. All Mrs. Higurashi wanted for her children was happiness, and Inuyasha made Kagome very happy, despite the stories that two of Inuyasha's sisters would never accept her as Inuyasha has. She's also aware of Melody's disgust towards her daughter and as Kagome's mother, she's is often displeased with this, but Melody knows that she can't hit Kagome or insult her while her mother or brother, Sota, was around as much as she usually does. She knew she couldn't deny them the happiness that she herself shared with her husband, and was grateful that Kagome found someone who completely loved her. Hearing that there were problems in the relationship was difficult, to say the least, but they absolutely heartbroken look on Kagome's face when she told her mother that the bonding might be off was devastating.

Mrs. Higurashi places her hands onto her daughter's shoulders and she says, lovingly, "Oh honey, I'm sure it'll all work out, whatever it is. So, since you said that you're the cause of the mess, mind telling me what happened?" Sure, she was sympathetic to Kagome's plight, but she also knew that talking about it might help put things in perspective.

Kagome didn't want to tell her mother what happened because she was ashamed. She had thought long and hard about her behavior after Inuyasha left with his sisters, and she had realized that not only were her actions harmful, but also shameful. She had purposefully manipulated her intended lover just to make him jealous over someone who would never be more than a friend to her. She had hurt him—both physically and mentally—for a stupid, childish prank.

Mrs. Higurashi intently watched her daughter's face. From the various emotions passing there—shame, regret, guilt—she knew that whatever happened between the two had to have been more serious than she thought. She watched as Kagome took a deep breath and started her tale…

(Back in the Feudal Era; at the same time)

Back in the Feudal Era, we're at the sky to find four Avian demons carrying each of them, Melody, Kenochi, Megumi, and Zera along with Inuyasha in the sky.

Inuyasha gripped his arms around his elder sister's waist while allowing himself to fall onto her back in exhaustion. Ever since he left the others, Inuyasha was thinking about how he blow off at Kagome and a part of him was feeling guilty for some odd reason. Inuyasha shook his head from thoughts about Kagome in anger, remembering what she's done to him. He had to get away from her, her scent, her voice, her tears, and everything about her altogether. He knew that it was cowardly of him, but he couldn't take it anymore. How could she? Why? She had tried to explain, but he couldn't let her. She had hurt him, both physically and emotionally, even though Megumi healed his wounds and Koga could be subdued with the rosary that was placed around his neck, but he had a feeling that Kagome would ask him to take it off and he was in no mood to deal with her.

As Inuyasha was on the same Avian that Zera was on, he reflected upon everything that had happened to him since Naraku's defeat. Proposing to Kagome, making preparations for their human wedding ceremony in her time and his after Kagome finished high school, gathering the necessities for their demon mating, Koga…The happier times made him smile, but when he got to Koga, he frowned and felt the need to punch something. He wanted to get his mind off the time-travelling priestess reincarnate and maybe travelling with his sisters and older brother would get his mind off of her, since Zera and Kenochi, were the only full-fledged demons that has accepted and taken care of Inuyasha ever since his mother died unlike Sesshomaru has done.

True, there are times that Inuyasha wished that Zera was like other demons that wouldn't accept him or his twin sisters, because there were times that Zera tends to be overly protective of him, but there were times that Zera's overly protective ways were beneficial for him since he knows how much Zera cares and loves him as well as Megumi and Melody which was the same with Inuyasha and his sisters. The relationship that Inuyasha had with Kenochi was like any other normal brotherly relationship when Inuyasha was a little child, Kenochi would bully him, but not like Sesshomaru has done, since it wasn't that serious. It was to toughen him up for life and Kenochi tends to be protective of Inuyasha, but not as much as Zera has done. Inuyasha and Kenochi had their brotherly fights, but it wasn't so serious as where Inuyasha and Sesshomaru would try to kill each other, since they both hated each other. Zera, however, would do anything for Inuyasha and his twin sisters to survive even go as far to kill anyone, even her older brother if Inuyasha's blood is stained in Sesshomaru's hands. Even though Sesshomaru wanted to kill Inuyasha, he wouldn't do it in front of Zera, knowing how she'll react and even though he doesn't show it, Sesshomaru is slightly terrified of Zera with her Demonic Priestess magic since it was made to destroy strong demons or negate their powers.

Throughout the Feudal Era, Zera had an infamous reputation as 'Zera the Destroyer' through almost every demon in the land even Naraku knew that he had to watch it with her especially Kikyo since both Melody and Zera hated priestesses like herself. With Melody, she'll most likely pummel a priestess and Zera would come and kill her. Zera is quite infamous because she is a known priestess hater like Melody has. It is said that the instant that one comes near Zera as well as her younger siblings, she attacks the priestess ruthlessly without remorse or compassion. However, when it comes to other humans, she leaves them alone unless they attack her or something, but even then she just knocks them unconsciousness at worse. However, it is only part of the reason that she is known as 'Zera the Destroyer. She has taken out so many other types of demons and plenty of them were among the worst of the worse. She is also known as 'Storm Zera' because when she attacks, she comes in like a huge storm and you don't know what hit you before it is too late. Everyone knows her reputation at least somewhat well and knows not to get her mad because it is said that she can be very hot-tempered than Inuyasha. When Zera and Melody found out about Inuyasha's relationship with Kikyo, they were very displeased with this to the brink that they will never allow Kikyo in their family because of her priestess powers and wanted Inuyasha to become human for her. Inuyasha tries to reason with them, but they especially Zera will not allow it.

When Zera found out that Inuyasha, Megumi, and Melody were sealed to a tree, she was furious and what made it worse was that Kikyo had died and went to unsealed both Megumi and Melody fifty years later. Zera then made a telepathic link with Megumi and Melody and to insure that something like this would never happen again, she made them immune to priestess spells. When they heard that Inuyasha had been freed, they were overjoyed and set out to find him. However, when Melody and Megumi met Kagome, Kikyo's reincarnation, they mistaken her for Kikyo and attacked her. They also stole one of the jewel shards that Inuyasha and Kagome, before they met Shippo, had collected and Melody had made Kagome fall off a cliff to her death. If it wasn't for Inuyasha, Kagome would have been dead by the hands of his own sister. When Kagome told Inuyasha that Melody and Megumi had attacked her, Inuyasha was surprised that his sisters were still alive and set out to find them. When he found them, they were attacking the village, luckily no one was killed. Keade managed to place the same rosaries around Melody's and Megumi's necks, but Keade didn't know that Melody and Megumi were immune to priestess spells when Melody and Megumi broke the beads off their necks to Keade's horror. Just as Melody and Megumi were going to kill Keade, who they didn't know it was Kikyo's younger sister, grown old, Inuyasha comes in and stops them from doing. When they see Kagome again, Melody charges towards her to try to kill her, but Inuyasha holds her back from doing so. Melody then notices the beads around Inuyasha and plans to take him to Zera to get them off. When Keade heard Zera's name, she was horrified knowing about her reputation and hearing that Inuyasha is Zera's younger half-brother, which made Keade nervous, believing that Zera would one day find a way to free Inuyasha from the rosary and make him immune to priestess spells. Zera couldn't do it since the rosary was in the way and even though it was made from priestess magic, Zera's blasts couldn't destroy it. Having extreme distrust, disgust, and detest for Kagome, Zera had Melody and Megumi travel with Inuyasha to 'keep Kagome in line' from misusing the rosary while Zera, herself, sets out to find a way to break Inuyasha's rosary. Of course, whenever Kagome does misuse the rosary, Kagome is often pummeled by Melody's fists and Melody have a tendency of taking things too far when she finds any hard object to slam onto Kagome's head without Inuyasha stopping her from killing her. When they meet Miroku, Sango, and Shippo, Melody attempts from beating Kagome for her using the rosary had come to a halt in most cases when Megumi, Miroku, and Sango tries to hold her back from doing any severe damage that Melody do on Kagome, in anger, knowing that Miroku's charms won't work on Melody as they don't on Inuyasha and Megumi.

Kagome, however, is aware that she may misuse the rosary while doesn't enjoy doing it and she wishes that Melody wouldn't hit her so hard while Inuyasha tells Melody to go easy on Kagome since Kagome is human and can't take as much hits like he or his sisters can. Megumi and Kenochi were the only ones that were Inuyasha's siblings that have even shown Kagome little kindness more than Melody or Zera has and has shown total disgust towards Kikyo. When Zera found out about Naraku, she wanted to join up in the cause to kill him, not because of Kikyo or Miroku, but Naraku had the gull to use her brother's appearance to make Inuyasha look like a common thief and gladly make Naraku pay for what he's done as well as the murder of innocent people like Sango's fellow villagers as well as Sango's younger brother, Kohaku for the Shikon Jewel shards, which she believed that caused nothing but huge trouble and should be wiped off the face of the earth.

When they met Koga, not only Inuyasha was disgusted by him, but his siblings were totally disgusted with the wolf demon with Zera and Melody showing more than they have with Kagome, seeing on how they treated their brother. When Zera met with Koga, things got a bit nasty when Zera decided to show Koga up, but showing how faster she was than him, which infuriated Koga to no ends and to add insult to injury when Koga found out about Inuyasha's weakness as well as his sisters of the new moon, Zera decided to kill Koga, since she believes that Koga would one day kill her younger brother and sister in their weaker states. Kagome tries to plead with Zera, knowing that Inuyasha wouldn't since Inuyasha hated Koga and Zera knew this and would believe that Kagome is forcing Inuyasha since she had the rosary around his neck, wouldn't listen to him either. Kagome would have gone as far to bet on her life that Koga wouldn't kill her hanyou brother and sisters in their weaker sides and Kagome, herself, had to go on her hands and knees, begging Zera to sparing Koga, who was racked with wounds from Zera's claws and bruises that he's gotten from Zera from the low to the top. Koga came to the conclusion that Zera would even kill him even if Koga were to kill Inuyasha and his sisters in their half-demon states, anyway, so in order to kill Inuyasha, he had to kill Zera, which was impossible since Zera was faster, stronger, and more powerful than he was even with his Lightning Claws since he couldn't hit Zera at all, which infuriated him to no ends, which may place a smile on Inuyasha's face, knowing that Zera can knock Koga's smirk of his face when she wants to or when Inuyasha asks Zera to do so and Kagome can't do a thing about it since none of her friends can restrain Zera like Inuyasha can from hurting her when she uses the rosary.

There are times that Melody's insults towards Kagome is one of the reasons why Kagome goes home, besides Inuyasha like when Melody calls her a pest, baka, moron, dummy, stupid, idiot, wench, or any hurtful names that not even Inuyasha would ever call her as well as really hurtful ones from Zera's mouth like 'useless brat' or 'worthless priestess'. Of course, there were times that Sango, Shippo, Miroku, especially Inuyasha scolds Melody for those harsh words, but not once that Melody had to apologize for them since she feels nothing but distain towards Kagome, saying that 'she'll get over it', and the only reason why she's saves her is because of only Inuyasha, if it was any other reason she would have left Kagome to her fate a long time ago.

Finally, when Zera came to Inuyasha and his group, wanting to speak to Inuyasha, Melody, and Megumi alone and when the four dog demons were alone, Zera revealed that she knows of a way to remove the beads from Inuyasha's neck and showed them the way how. However, they sensed a gasp of horror from Kagome, knowing that Inuyasha would be free earlier than she expected and unlike the first time where the rosary was broken, this time the rosary won't be coming back on Inuyasha's neck a third time. Kagome wished to speak to Zera and Melody alone and she begs for them to keep Inuyasha's rosary, explaining that whenever Inuyasha transforms to a full demon, there's nothing stopping him, or when he's acting like a first class jerk towards Kagome, which Zera and Melody says that it her problem. Melody says that Kagome misuses the beads for her own gain to win an argument with Inuyasha and she can't do anything with Miroku, Sango, and Megumi in the way holding her back from teaching Kagome a lesson. Kagome then explains that the rosary is one of the main reasons that Inuyasha and her are friends since before Inuyasha was cold and mistrusting to her as Melody and Zera are. Melody retorts that Megumi is nice to her and she doesn't need a rosary and Melody goes in that Kagome thinks of Inuyasha as nothing more than a dog, which Kagome protests about it and Kagome says that she loves Inuyasha, which Melody and Zera doesn't believe her. Zera tells Kagome that the beads were anything more than an insult to her family since it gave Kagome the power to treat anyone from Zera's family nothing more than a common dog with a dog like command and Melody brings up the time that Kagome threw a stick to have Inuyasha fetch it. Kagome protests that she was only joking and didn't mean anything about it. Seeing that there was no way to win the battle with Zera and Melody, Kagome goes on her knees and hands and begs them with her head down that if the rosary is kept, Kagome swears that she won't misuse them like she half of the time does, which would mean that Inuyasha would get more freedom to what he wanted like hit Shippo on the head, which is one of the reasons Kagome scolds him for. True, Shippo does do pranks on Inuyasha which results Inuyasha whacking him on the head, but Inuyasha, himself, does take things a little too far. Zera and Melody agrees to it with Melody showed how to do so at anytime, which Melody takes full advantage when she uses this as blackmail whenever Kagome is close to even using it, which gives Kagome no choice, which annoys her to no ends when Kagome is forced into doing things for Melody or the beads come off. Kagome often complains to Melody about her blackmailing her, but Melody doesn't listen to her complainants, saying that Kagome is free to use them, but if she does then Melody takes them off and Inuyasha is immune to priestess spells. This forces Kagome to ask for Melody's permission to use them, which at first were all 'no's'.

Of course, Inuyasha notices that Melody is enjoying Kagome's suffering and gets a word with her about how she's treating her. Melody, of course, dismisses it, saying that Kagome always has a problem and she just bitter that things aren't going her way anymore. Inuyasha then tells Melody that he doesn't want to rosary off anymore. This surprises Melody in many ways and Melody says that if she were to back down, then Kagome would just misuse them again. Inuyasha says that with the promise that Kagome has made not to misuse them anymore, he's going to believe her and Inuyasha doesn't want Melody blackmailing Kagome anymore.

Inuyasha thinks in his mind, plainly, "As much as Iwant to hate her, I can't. Why do I still love her, after she hurt me so much? I didn't tell them how much damage she really did. Before she sat me, I was already injured, and her sitting me only made them worse. Then, after Koga broke almost every bone in my body, I felt like giving up. My spirit was leaving when I saw my mother. She made me return to my body because she said I hadn't finished my life's tasks yet and I had to rise to the challenge. After I returned to my body, I felt my bones try to reconnect after Megumi had healed me. I don't understand why I had to feel that. I just wanted to die…but my sisters, especially Zera, as always, saved me, though, her methods are sometimes harsh."

Just then, Zera's voice calls out, breaking Inuyasha away from his thoughts, "We're almost home!" Soon enough, there was a feminine scream that was heard from below and Megumi says, seriously, "What was that!"

Zera says, in a serious tone, "It sounded like a scream from a female!"

Inuyasha says, seriously, "Let's get going! She could be attacked by a demon!"

Melody says, with a snort, "Why should we help her? She'll just accuse us of eating her!"

Zera says, in a serious tone, "That is if she was human! This scent is similar to that of a demon, more especially a cat demon! Let's go!" Soon enough, the Avian demons flew downwards to the ground and Inuyasha yells out, jumping off the Avian demon's back, "Zera's right! I do smell a cat demon and its blood!" Inuyasha then rushes over to where the scream was heard last.

Kenochi says, seriously while jumping off his avian demon, "Let's go!" The dog yokais and hanyous rush over to where Inuyasha ran off to.

(At the other part of the forest; on the meanwhile)

Deep into the forest, we find a huge boar like demon stalking around for its prey, which appears to be a familiar cat demon from the Panther Demon Tribe, Karan, who was lying on her back seemly unconscious with bloody cuts on her right arm and leg as well as blood stains on her kimono and fur skirt.

The boar demon says, with a hunger smile, "It looks like I'll have cat for dinner!"

Karan thinks in her mind, stunned and weakly, "Damn it! This boar should be easy prey for me! How the hell can it be this stronger! And I don't have the energy to move!"

The boar demon lunges at the injured Karan, ready to eat her and Karan braced for her death.

"Wind Scar!"

"Demon Bomb!"

Just then, a huge wind blast followed by a dark violet planet shaped blast of demonic energy was fired at the boar demon and it howls in pain as it was destroyed on impact. Karan looks up to see her savior which appears to be Inuyasha, who sheaths back his Tetsusaiga, and Melody which rush over with Megumi in tow.

Karan says, groaning in pain, "It's…you three…!"

Melody yells out, seriously, "Hey, I know you! You're one of those cat demons that we fought before!"

Karan says, with an annoyed scowl as she sits up, "Don't call me a cat, you mutt! I'm a Panther Demon!" Karan winches in pain as she grips her right arm.

Melody says, annoyed, "What did you just say!"

Just then, Zera's voice calls out, "That's enough, Melody!" Just then, Zera and Kenochi came from the trees and Karan says, in a snort, "Zera and Kenochi!"

Kenochi says, seriously, "Karan! What are you doing here!"

Karan snaps, nastily, "None of your business, dog!" Karan winches in pain again and Megumi says, seriously, "Hey, you're arm is bleeding!"

Karan says, winching in pain, "Thanks for stating the obvious!"

Inuyasha says, angrily, "Listen here, cat, we're the ones, who saved your life and least you can do is show some gratitude!"

Karan yells out, nastily, "I didn't ask for your help, mutt! I could have handled that demon by myself!"

Zera walks over to the demon's remains and she says, picking up two sacred jewel shards, "No, you couldn't…!" Zera then says, showing everyone the shards, "Because, this demon had jewel shards in his body! You couldn't beat it with these in its possession!"

Karan says, seriously, "No wonder!"

Megumi kneels down to Karan and she tells her, "Let me heal your wounds!" Just as Karan was going to snap in annoyance, Megumi's hands glow golden as she sends waves at Karan's body, making her wounds disappear and restoring her health to full. Karan jumps to her feet with Megumi getting on her feet and Karan looks at herself. Karan says, amazed, "I'm all better! How did you do that!"

Megumi says, with a smile, "I've learned a spell while back that can heal other people's wounds and injuries, even at the brink of death, with my yokai. So, treating your wounds was easy for me."

Zera asks, curiously, "What are doing here alone? Where's your tribe?" Just then, Karan's ruby eyes had a great deal of sadness in them and she looks away as she reply, "They're…dead…!"

Inuyasha says, stunned, "They died!"

Zera says, seriously, "But how? What demon would be strong enough to take Toran and Shuran down?"

Karan says, in a solemn tone, "A few months ago, we found a sacred jewel shard lying around and a demon wearing a white baboon pelt came to us, demanding the jewel back! We put up a good fight, but in the demon killed all of my tribe members and I was badly wounded."

The dog yokais and hanyous gasp in shock and Inuyasha says, seriously, "You mean that you fought Naraku!"

Karan says, perplexed, "Naraku?"

Melody says, in a plain tone, "He was our enemy, before his death. We killed him for good this time!"

Karan says, surprised, "You mean you guys killed him!" Karan then looks around and she asks Inuyasha, "Didn't you used to travel with a bunch of humans along with that priestess with the weird skimpy clothes!"

Melody yells out, annoyed, "Don't remind us!"

Inuyasha says, plainly while remembering that him and Kagome are at bad terms with each other, "I don't travel with them anymore! I don't want to get into the details yet."

Kenochi asks Karan, "Why don't you travel with us since your tribe is gone?"

Karan says, with a snort, "I'm not traveling with a bunch of dogs! However, I do owe you for saving me from that demon, though."

(Back in the future; in the late evening)

Back in the modern times, Kagome was explaining while in tears about what had happened between Inuyasha and herself, between Koga's arrival and Inuyasha's departure.

After she finished, Mrs. Higurashi exclaims, a bit angrily, "I'm surprised at you, Kagome. I really am. What were you thinking?" Mrs. Higurashi was never one to get angry needlessly, but after hearing about what her little stunt had cost her and Inuyasha, she was more than a little upset.

Kagome tells her mother, solemnly, "I don't know, Mom. Honestly, if I could go back in time and change everything, I would. But I can't, and now I don't know if he'll ever forgive me. He even said that Melody and Zera were right about me."

Mrs. Higurashi tells her daughter, while pulling her into a hug, "I'm disappointed in you, Kagome, but from what I know of Inuyasha, he'll forgive you. In fact, he probably already has. He just can't trust you. Give him time, and I'm sure everything will work out just fine." Her mother would never deny her daughter the comfort of her arms, even if she was mad at her.

Kagome says, solemnly, "I don't know, mom! Inuyasha has gone with Melody and Zera, which takes it that he'll never forgive me as long as he's with them! Melody and Zera has always had it in for me ever since they day that I met them! Megumi and Kenochi now hate me for what I did to their brother! I'm even surprised that they along with Melody and Zera would have killed me yet! Inuyasha hates me now! What's stopping them!"

Mrs. Higurashi says, with a sigh, "Well, I can certainly understand that, Kagome. Now it's late, why don't you get to bed and rest. Your school friends called—they want to see you. Maybe you should go out with them tomorrow to take your mind off things."

Kagome says, solemnly, "Sure mom. Thanks for everything!" Kagome walks upstairs to her bedroom with a real solemn expression on her face.

(Back in the Feudal Era; at the same time)

Back in the Feudal Era, we find ourselves within the forest in front of Keade's village and we find Koga, punching and kicking a random tree in frustration on a few accounts. The first one was his humiliating defeat by Zera's hands at the expense of his jewel shards and his pride, when Zera placed Inuyasha's rosary beads around his neck giving Kagome, Zera or anyone within her family, especially Inuyasha, the power to slam him into the ground. Koga hated the fact that now Inuyasha can make him eat dirt anytime that he wishes. Koga also hated the fact that now he was no too far from Kagome's good graces after the stunt that he pulled.

Koga tugged on the rosary around his neck and he says, with an angry growl, "Damn it! Why did this thing have to be on my neck! It was amusing for it to be around that mutt's neck! Thanks to that rotten dog's elder half-sister, now she and that mutt can make me hit the ground anytime that they may wish! I have to get back my shards back, but I can't get anywhere near them without this damn thing around my neck! That mutt, Inuyasha, has always had in for me and he'll 'sit' me for the numerous times that I've messed with him! As if he already has a relative that's stronger and faster than me wasn't enough! Even if I killed that half-breed, his sisters will come at me for revenge and even though, Melody and Megumi are half-demons, they along with Zera are too much for me to handle! I'm only alive because that rotten inukuro told his sister to back off when I was close to death!"

From village, Miroku, Sango, and Shippo could see Koga punching and kicking the tree in frustration from earlier today.

Sango says, plainly, "Koga must be still angry at his defeat by Zera's hands!"

Miroku tells Sango, "I know! The insults and goading from Inuyasha and his sisters along with Kenochi and Feng didn't help as much to add more to Koga's fury."

Shippo asks, worriedly, "But how are we going to get Inuyasha back! He too angry with Kagome to return!"

Miroku says, with a sigh, "I know, Shippo! We can hopefully try to convince him to come back and it was a huge misunderstanding."

(In the Northwest lands; at the same time)

In the Northwest lands, we find four of Zera's Avian birds landing on the ground with Zera, Inuyasha, and Karan jumping off of one while Melody, Megumi, and Kenochi jumped off another.

Karan asks, curiously, "Hey what are we doing here for?"

Zera says, in a serious tone, "Sooner or later, that backstabbing miko brat would try having the old woman, Keade, making another rosary for Inuyasha and to ensure that doesn't happen again, I've brought Inuyasha here to make him immune to priestess spells." Zera tells Inuyasha, pointing at a clearing where a mystical blood red and dark violet circle with Japanese mystical symbols around, "Baby brother, I want to stand on that circle to start the process!"

Inuyasha says, plainly, "Anything to ensure that I'll never get treated like a dog anymore!" Inuyasha then leaps forward onto the middle the circle while Melody and Megumi places their jewel shards that they've collected to four points of the circle.

Zera stands forward and she asks Inuyasha, "Are you ready?"

Inuyasha says, with a nod, "Go for it!"

Zera places her hands together and clasp them, chanting out in a native and tongue. Soon after, the marks on the circle that Inuyasha was standing on glows red and dark violet. Then, red lightning comes around and strikes Inuyasha as he screams out in agony as the process of him being immune to priestess spells and attacks begins.

Karan asks, perplexed, "What's going on?"

Kenochi says, with a plain tone, "It's part of the ritual!"

As the red lightning hits his body, Inuyasha's demonic aura bursts out from his body as he screams and the earth shakes under Zera's spell. Soon enough, Inuyasha's demonic aura disappears and he's left glowing red and Zera says, with a sly smile, "It's complete! Now, he's impervious to anything that brat would try!"

Inuyasha says, looking at himself as his body stops glowing, "I feel incredible! I can't believe this!"

Zera tells Inuyasha, with a sly smile, "Of course, baby brother, we'll have to start training you since the moment that you were hit with that red lightning, you were given more powers similar to me and our sisters."

Inuyasha says, seriously, "Hey what do you mean training!"

Zera says, in a plain tone, "Inuyasha, how often does Tetsusaiga falls out of your hands! Suppose if we do find another enemy like Naraku and that does happen, then what would you do? With the training that I'll give you, you'll be able to use your demonic as a weapon somewhat similar to the Iron Reaver Soul Stealer or Blades of Blood that I taught you, similar to what Melody, Megumi, and I can do!"

Inuyasha says, with a sigh, "I guess that you do have a point! It won't hurt to learn anything that could be useful!"
