Chapter 4: The Final Piece
No message comes…
The promise is broken…
-----------------------------------------------
"Kohaku!" Sango chased after her brother. "You're still alive!"
The female taijiya jumped from tree to tree, determined to catch up with her brother.
He was already far ahead of her, his voice disappearing in the cold night air. "Ane-ue!"
Sango planted herself against the bark of a tree. "What?"
Kohaku stood in the middle of a lake, his arms resting at his sides. His sister could notice a blurred light at the bottom of the lake. It was mesmerizing and she couldn't take her eyes of the pale aura. "Beautiful…"
That's when Sango noticed that Kohaku was gone. She leapt down from the tree, and readied Hiraikotsu, just in case the cloudy glow at the middle of the lake was a youkai.
-----------------------------------------------
Inuyasha awoke from his long sleep. "Where is everyone?" He sniffed at the air, trying to pick up the scents of his comrades.
I can't boast anymore…
For killing the dragon…
For the jewel of its neck…
The hanyou snapped to attention when he heard Shippou's voice. He jumped into the bushes and watched as the kitsune appeared from within the forest. The young fox was walking at a steady pace, a soft golden glow emitting from his clothes. "Where are you going?"
Inuyasha pursued Shippou, making sure to stay quiet. After a few minutes of walking, the fox had entered a clearing. Miroku was already standing there, the Buddha's Cup in his hand.
Inuyasha watched as the kitsune stood next to the monk. "What are they doing?"
-----------------------------------------------
Sango lifted herself from the lake's waters. In her right hand, she clasped a small necklace. Tied to the small piece of rope was a cracked seashell.
Now is the time…
Sky's Feather upon me…
Sorrow upon you…
Sango limped towards a small path of light. It gleamed under the moon, and it guided her to the top of the mountain. Once she had reached the peak, she dropped the necklace into the dormant Mount Fuji.
There was a small explosion from within the mountain, tendrils of energy burst from its center. Pink sparks rained upon the entire area, illuminating the dark land below.
As the light dissipated, Sango began to walk away. A long robe flowed behind her, and the Cowrie Shell was once again in her hands.
-----------------------------------------------
"This is so strange," the hanyou remained in the bushes. "What is everyone up to?"
He was surprised when Sango joined his two other companions.
"Sango too?" Inuyasha's thoughts were interrupted when he heard a strong whistling sound penetrate the air. The whistling soon became words, and then they became a verse.
By the full moon…
The fantastic feast…
Not now, but when?
"What the hell?" Inuyasha stood up and ran towards his friends.
The clearing they were standing in began to split apart. The ground tore open and the trees disappeared.
The last thing Inuyasha saw was a blinding white flash.
-----------------------------------------------
Kagome smirked. "They're here at last. Everything is finally in place!"
Parting for good…
Shedding tears…
Living is useless…
I can't boast anymore…
For killing the dragon…
For the jewel of its neck…
You see it true…
I see it false…
Love can't be burnt…
Tears are dry…
As sleeves are wet…
Fire is dust now…
I know you willed it be…
No message comes…
The promise is broken…
The loss of light…
Nothing was seen…
Of Mount Ogura…
Now is the time…
Sky's Feather upon me…
Sorrow upon you…
By the full moon…
The fantastic feast…
Not now, but when?
