.:Part One:.
"This is so embarressing." Siyo complained, jumping off Kagura's feather and managed to land on the back of a dragon that was flying by. She sneered, "Fine." She mumbled. Siyo chuckled, "What's there to be mad about, sister?" He asked.
Kagura didn't wish to answer, though the answer was locked up in her mind. She continued to wonder about this Siyo.
"Kagura," Naraku narrowed his eyes at her before she could even leave. Kagura turned around, Siyo was already gone out the door. "What is it?" She asked, Naraku closed his eyes then sat in another postition on the floor boards. "I should warn you. This boy, Siyo, has very strong powers I don't know about yet. Though you must tell me what they are when you come back. Let Siyo do as he pleases with Inuyasha and his friends in the meantime." He said. Kagura snapped open her fan and hid her mouth.
"You don't seem very excited." She spoke.
"Go." He commanded.
Kagura lowered her eyes, Naraku..
"Kagura," she turned quickly to Siyo and blinked, "Don't be wondering off. I can't concentrate." He growled closing his eyes. Kagura turned away, she remembered how Hakudoushi treated her. Will he treat her the same way?
.:Midnight:.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome cried out in anger, she ran out of the house and looked around. She stomped her way around the village looking for Inuyasha then went over to Miroku and Sango. "Where is he?" She asked. They pointed quickly to the house next door, Shippo and Kirara ran behind Sango and shivered with fear. The girl easily broke the door with her anger and seen Inuyasha curled up in the corner behind two innocent elders. She smiled sweetly at them and dragged Inuyasha out the door.
Then, after closing the door, they all heard a strong and clear "Sit!" from her.
After Kagome went to cool herself down, Sango and Miroku were tending to his wounds. "You shouldn't have did that to lady Kagome." Miroku said. Sango narrowed her eyes at him, "He's a dog, what do you expect?" She whispered.
"I heard that!" He cried out.
Later they all went to bed with a good night sleep, Kagome was still cooling down. But that sleep was interrupted by a loud thud outside. Screams were heard everywhere, then outside was a fire that quickly spread throughout the village. Inuyasha was the first to get out. Three innocent children were stuck inside a house still, that was Inuyasha's first stop. He suceeded to get them out but only one child was dead, though it seemed.
Before the others could say something there was a large demon worm slithering up behind Inuyasha, just in time Kagome shot her arrow.
She slid down the hill and ran to Inuyasha and the two children that lied on the dirt floor. "Oh no.. Inuyasha, Miroku, take the children and get away from here. Fast!" She ordered. Everyone stared at her funny.
"... Uh... I think I got a little ahead of myself... heh heh.." She scratched her head and giggled in embarressment.
"Well Whatever! Come on Miroku. You sure you can get out alright?" He asked with a worried look on his face. Kagome gave a nod, "Promise."
"I'll stay and help Kagome." She told them, Shippo ran with Inuyasha and quickly grabbed onto his hair.
Kirara stayed and transformed into her full form then helped save the trapped villagers.
"Heh heh, they look like scampering rats." Siyo chuckled as he watched from above the village where almost everyone couldn't spot them.
"Shall I finish them off?" Kagura asked snapping her fan open. Siyo glanced at her, "Nah, I like it this way." He mused, resting his chin on his hand. He sat floating in the little bubble like barrier and watched with amusment.
That's when Miroku looked up, "Inuyasha, up there!!" He shouted over the screaming. The demon looked up and gasped, "Kagura!" He growled.
"And who is that boy?" Miroku blinked. "Hakudoushi?" Inuyasha's eyes glimmered in the moonlight.
"No... that's not Hakudoushi that's for sure." He said.
Kagome dragged the last villager out and sighed, "Tougher than chasing Inuyasha around.. Huh?" Kagome suddenly felt a spark in her head, she was sensing a sacred jewel shard. She looked up and stood in her place, "Who is that?" Sango asked looking up also.
The silver white haired boy blinked, "They found us." He spoke.
Kagura made a large gust of wind blow down on them to block their view while they got away, the dirt that flew about the villagers and Inuyasha's friends had put out the burning fire instantly.
"Well, it'd be tougher to strike out on them all with the villagers. This Inuyasha is a half demon, am I right?" He asked turning to Kagura as they fled from them in the clouds. Kagura blinked, "Yeah." She answered. Siyo turned back, "Then some half demons around here seem to be growing a bond between the humans. I know this much, they avenge those weak humans and try their best to hunt down the killer. Being chased around is not on my list." He smirked.
Come to think of it.. Hakudoushi didn't seem to care about that. But it did lead to many annoying encounters., Kagura sighed.
Siyo narrowed his eyes at her, "I see. You also hate annoying pests following you around. Unlike that Hakudoushi, right Kagura?" He gave a dark laugh.
"I can read your mind like he can. But though he doesn't seem to understand any of this." He chuckled.
She gasped and thought no more, she did remember Siyo telling her he was trying to concentrate earlier.
"So what will you do now?" She asked him.
"Well, they already seen my face so let's see what this Inuyasha looks like. I only noticed the villagers around them." He smiled.
.:Early Morning:.
Finally it reached morning, the villagers had began fixing the huts and houses in the village while Inuyasha and the others left with a short good-bye and continud their journey.
"So who was the one who attacked the village?" Sango asked. Miroku shook his head, "It would have been that boy with Kagura.. But we don't know his name or what he does. Probably another incaration of Naraku's. We should keep sharp watch, Kagura usually appears after we get a glance of a demon from Naraku." He told them.
"... True about Kagura." Shippo replied.
"Don't worry, I'll finish that brat off with my own two hands." Inuyasha told them with a grin on his face, Kagome shook her head. "We don't know what he's like Inuyasha.. All we seen of him was his face... Strange, didn't he look like Naraku except younger and a kinda silver white hair?" She asked.
"Yeah. Alot like Naraku but where did he get that komono?" Sango turned to Miroku but he didn't say anything.
That's when Kagura appeared before them, she smiled. "Long time no see." She greeted with a smile. Inuyasha growled, as usual, he'd be the one to ask quiestions!
"Kagura! What was all that commotion about? Who was that brat with you?!" He asked.
"Pipe down, I'm not involved with it." She snapped.
"Idiot. You were the one who attacked that village along with whoever the hell that was!" Inuyasha growled.
"Whatever, just let me explain why I'm here first." Kagura explained, ignoring Inuyasha's comment.
The demon stood there patiently, seeming that he was allowing her to go on ahead and explain.
"I came to give you a message from Siyo." She explained.
Inuyasha blinked, "Who?" he asked. Kagura smirked.
"He'd rather you to find that out, either way, wish to see him?" She asked with amusment in her voice. She knelt down once Inuyasha used his attack with his claws, but missed.
Though Kagura continued.
"A sacred jewel shard will be found in the canyon not far from here. We'll be waiting for your arrival. Either that or you can go ahead and continue your endless journey in finding the jewels. That is his message." She told them, plucking a feather from her hair pin. She expanded her feather into a larger size and jumped on leaving the others confused and motionless. Inuyasha was the first to move from his spot. Right when he was about to ask something else Kagura was already gone.
"Oh great." Kagome crossed her arms.
Miroku and Sango jumped onto Kirara's back, "We'll continue right?" She asked Inuyasha. "Mm.. Yeah. But which canyon was she talking about anyway?" He looked around the valley.
Miroku cleared his throat, "The Canyon of Four Souls. Sound familiar?" he said.
"A bit. Clears everything here, let's go."
That was quick.., Kagome thought to herself.
.:Afternoon Sun Rise:.
"So, are they coming?" Siyo asked fixing his komono.
"Sure. I guess.." Kagura jumped off her feather and stepped into the dark cave, a hide out Siyo chose out himself.
The canyon was full of mist and miasma, another one of Siyo's plans.
Kagura blinked, seeing the spider mark on his back, she shut her fan and lowered her eyelids in disgust. Almost all of Naraku's incarnations had that mark on their backs.
The mark was soon covered once Siyo placed on his komono. He turned and seen the suprised look on Kagura's face, "What are you waiting for? Go see if they're here." He ordered. Kagura rolled her eyes and groaned, "Right.." She said sarcaticly.
She disappeared in the mist while Siyo handled everything inside the cave.
That's when Inuyasha and them appeared.
"Alright, just like he asked. We're here. Now what does he want?" Inuyasha asked once he seen a figure inside the mist, knowing it was Kagura.
"We know it's a trap Kagura!" He shouted.
There was silence. The sorceress stood there motionless when suddenly wind blades were shot out at Inuyasha. The mist grew stronger. Everyone of Inuyasha's friends were lost inside the mist.
"Inuyasha!" He heard Kagome scream, a loud thud was heard far behind him. Inuyasha was already down from Kagura's attack, she knew that attack would not injure him badly. She needed him to defeat Naraku for her of course!
Then came a dark laugh from the mist, "Thought you could run? Well then." Siyo's voice was heard.
The mist cleared in front of Inuyasha, he gasped after feeling a strong aura around him. Siyo appeared before him and chuckled.
He ran his hand down his long silver white hair and smiled wickedly.
"Your--"
"My name is Siyo. You must be Inuyasha. Hm, don't look quite the way I expected. No matter." Siyo circled Inuyasha, he pushed the dog demon onto the ground with his foot and smirked.
"I think you'll find me quite interesting, half demon." He mused.
