Authors note: Yes, It's been a VERY long time since I posted. I'm surprised I even remembered what I was writing! I wasn't planning on continuing the story, which is why there weren't any updates. I thought the story was turning out into a Mary Sue, and I really didn't want that to happen. Naruku may be powerful, but she has a lot of faults. I didn't know how I was going to end the story. Then Sean-chan decided that I was going to finish the story. So, I'm going to finish the story, Mary sue or not. People don't like it, then they don't read it. It also may not have a happy ending, but no worries! No one will die.




Unsettling News



Naruku, Tasuki and Chichiri all stood in front of the creator, who was thouroughly ticked off. "Did you ever read the scroll I gave you?" Taiitsuken asked, her voice dripping anger.
Naruku scuffed her toe against the ground, her eyes downcast. "I was going to get around to it." she sulked, trying not to look the creator in the eyes.
Chichiri took Naruku's hand in his own, trying to comfort her. "It wasn't her fault, she was very busy no da." Chichiri said in Naruku's defense.
"Busy fooling around. Now Kiloran did something to seal the other seishi, and I can't resurrect them until I found out what he did." Taiitsuken seethed.
"Can't revive the other seishi!? What do ya mean ya can't revive the other seishi?" Tasuki asked, getting concerned.
Taiitsuken sighed, suddenly looking very tired. "If I knew how he did it then I could break the seal, but I don't and that means you'll have to do without the others. The other problem is that most have already been reborn into the miko's world, and that makes it twice as hard to pull them back."
"So, basically you're saying that we're screwed." Naruku responded, a miserable look on her face.
"I remember someone saying she could handle this by herself." Taiitsuken told Naruku Dryly.
Naruku's shoulders snapped back and breathed in deeply, getting ready to hurl insults back. Chichiri's hand covered Naruku's mouth, keeping her from saying anything. "This isn't getting us anywhere no da. Why don't we discuss what we can do no da."
Naruku took Chichiri's hand off of her mouth and glared at him. "Okay, well why don't we just go to the source?" she suggested.
"Kiloran had to have entered from somewhere. You just need to find that point and enter it. If you destroy him through that, he won't be able to come to this world again." Taiitsuken explained.
Naruku smiled brightly. "And he won't be expecting it because he's used to playing games first. If I can find the right tracking spell, we could find it with relative ease."
"Shouldn't we do something else first?" Tasuki asked uncertainly.
Chichiri nodded his agreement. "It does seem sort of sudden no da."
Naruku rolled her eyes and ran her fingers through her hair. "What do want to do, go out and fight for more experience first?" chichiri and Tasuki gave her a blank stare. Naruku shook her head. "Never mind, forget I said anything. This is a good plan, because it's sudden and he won't be expecting it. It will be hard enough defeating him with the edge of surprise."
"Naruku, you and Chichiri should go to my library and look for that spell. Tasuki, I'll send you back for a bit so you can get your bandits back together after that demon attack." Taiitsuken said as Tasuki disappeared.
Naruku giggled and Chichiri tried to hide his smile. "I think you sent him away a little fast no da." Chichiri informed her.
Taiitsuken frowned and glared at her two former students. "If I didn't then you would never get anything done. Now GET MOVING!!"


* * *
Naruku put a pile of books down on the table with a thud. She glared at Chichiri who was flipping the pages of a blue book across the table. "This is taking forever."
"Then why don't you just use one of your Guardian spells no da?" Chichiri asked, slightly annoyed. Naruku had been complaining for the past two hours about finding spells and looking through books.
Sighing, Naruku pulled a book out of the pile in front of her. "I would, but..."
"You slept through tracking spell class." Chichiri finished for her, shaking his head.
Looking incredibly annoyed, Naruku got out of her chair and went to stand right in front of Chichiri. "No, I didn't sleep through it. Guardians can't cast every type of magic, and I can't cast path finding spells."
Chichiri was talking to her, but Naruku was ignoring everything he was saying. She was staring at his lips, wanting to kiss him. Maybe I should just give up and seduce him. The mission will be over soon and I'll have to leave, and then I still won't have gotten what I wanted. Naruku thought to herself, nodding her head as if she was listening.
Chichiri watched in silence as Naruku kept nodding her head, a far away look in her eyes. He stood up and looked down at Naruku, who was still nodding. He wanted to kiss her at that moment, even though he knew he shouldn't. Chichiri took off his mask and bent down to kiss Naruku softly. Needless to say, Naruku stopped nodding her head, and instead concentrated on the dizzy feeling that swept through her. She put her hands up to Chichiri's face, stroking his cheek as their lips were entwined. That slight touch seemed to make chichiri realize what was happening and he pulled away. "Naruku-san, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. Daaa." he finished, extremely embarrassed.
Naruku reached out to Chichiri, trying to tell him that it was okay. Chichiri backed up and put his mask back on. "Maybe we should take a break no da. I'm going to go meditate, Tasuki should be eating, you should join him no da." With that, Chichiri left Naruku standing in the library extremely confused.
"Damn the gods! First he kisses me then he leaves! And men say women are confusing." Naruku grumbled as she walked out of the library to find Tasuki. She paused for a moment while walking down the hall. "Then again, I did do just about the same thing to him when I got here." Naruku rubbed her head as she started walking again. "I don't need this right now."
