Chapter 10: Out of the Darkness
Two months passed and the group had found no sign of Naraku or Shinsei. They had traveled far to the south and had found a castle where Shippo said he saw Kohaku wandering around the grounds.
"If Kohaku is there, Naraku can't be far behind. Sango can you or Miroku get us an audience with the lord?" asked Inuyasha becoming very impatient.
"Of course, Kilala we need you to fly around the grounds and see if you can see any signs of Naraku, Kohaku, or Shinsei." Said Sango petting her little cat. Kilala ran outside, transformed, and flew over the village and castle while Sango and Miroku left for the castle.
After they left, Inuyasha went outside and sat on the roof of the Inn they were staying at. "Shin….I let her down like I did Kikyo…I have to save her from Naraku….I won't let another woman fall into his hands!" Inuyasha thought as he sat there staring at the rising sun.
"AHHHH!!!" screams of many people were coming from the castle and at that instant the castle burst into flames. Out of the smoke spreading through the village Sango and Miroku appeared on Kilala.
"Sango! Miroku! What the happened!?" asked Kagome helping a now badly wounded Miroku.
"We don't know! The place exploded just as we were leaving. This is all we found about the person who destroyed the castle." Sango said then from behind her back she pulled out an arrow with a red ribbon tied around it.
"I…it can't be…" Inuyasha took the arrow and just stared down at it wide eyed for minutes. "Dammit!!" he threw the arrow aside and ran out the door toward the castle through the thick smoke. "Please still be there! Please be alright!!"
"Inuyasha wait!" yelled Kagome who went to chase him. But Miroku grabbed her arm and shook his fever- ridden head no.
"Kagome, you should stay here with Miroku and Shippo. Kilala and I will go after him." Sango said putting her hand on Kagome's shoulder. Then her and Kilala were off and caught up to Inuyasha quickly.
When they arrived the castle was completely restored with the flames and smoke gone, but a miasma was surrounding it.
"It's not poisonous, so it's alright to go inside." said Sango. As she finished Kohaku walked out of the front gate ready to battle.
"Where is she! I know she's here! Her scent was covering that arrow!!!!" Inuyasha yelled drawing Tetsusaiga. "What the hell!?" as he yelled that a large animal flew out of the sky with flames at it's feet and tail knocking the sword from his hand and into Kohaku's. As the animal landed the sun began to rise and it became visible. It was much like Kilala, the same size, but it was a black fox with white paws and a white tipped tail. As the night sky turned to day the fox transformed into a human figure. It took the sword from Kohaku and transformed in it's hand.
"It's…not…possible…" said Inuyasha standing there frozen from the sight before him. There before him stood Shinsei wearing priestess hakama's, but they were completely black.
She pointed the great fang at her three friends and smiled a smile as evil as Naraku himself. "Kohaku….we must hurry to send these three to hell so we may acquire the jewel shards from Kagome."
"Right…" Kohaku got into fighting stance readying his weapon as Shin only smiled her defiled smile of death.
