Chapter 10: Seperated
Inuyasha and Kira were roaming the country side in search of their friends. Her premontion was still making her worry that they wouldn't get to them in time.
She stopped on top of a tall pine time and took in the scents of the air. Inuyasha landed in a tree next to her and also started tracking. "Where are they?" He asked as he looked everywhere, sniffing the air.
"I don't know. We're probably too far away to smell their scent." God i wish cell phones worked in the era. She thought as she scanned the area. She then froze when she thought she saw the familiar form of Sesshomaru in the distence.
She didn't say anything to Inuyasha and went back to searching for her best friends scent.
"Let's keep moving. Maybe we should head back to Keade's village and start searching from there."
"Good idea." He said as he took off toward the old priestess's village.
Kira took one look at where she saw Sesshomaru, only to notice that he was no longer there. Soon Sesshomaru. Soon. In a few days, we will finally meet. She thought as she soon took off after Inuyasha.
They reached the village within and hour, only to find out that Kagome and the others had left yesterday. They then took off again in the direction Keade said they left in.
Kira was deeply worried for her friend as they ran through the forest. She was trying so hard to find the scent of vanilla and lavender that Inuyasha described as Kagome's scent.
By night fall they still hadn't found them. They were now making camp next to a river, mostly so Kira could calm down.
"Kira calm down! We're going to find them." Inuyasha said as he was standing in the river, fishing with his claws.
"I can't. Something bad is going to happen. I just know it." Kira said a she sat next to the fire, holding the Mani Katti tightly in her hands.
"You have the gift of foresight don't you?" The sword asked, feeling it's master was still scared.
"Yes i am." She was watching Inuyasha fish as she spoke to the blade.
"In times of great danger, your gift of foresight will predict an event that will happen in only two or three days instead of a week. Such is the way with the gift."
"Really? So feeling that urgency was normal?"
"Yes Lady Kira. It is a completly normal thing to feel."
Kira sighed and relaxed a bit. "But how are we going to find them in time? It's like their scent has been hidden or something."
"There is a way to find them without even having to track them. It's a lot simpler then running around blindly."
"I do not run around blindly." Inuyasha stated as he successfully caught enough fish for the two of them to eat.
"That is not what i mean Lord Inuyasha. I simply mean that Lady Kira can focus her gift of foresight to locate the target she is seaching for."
"Can we try it right now? So that i know they are safe until we catch up with them?" Kira asked as she helped Inuyasha string the stick into the fish and prop them up in the fire.
"Yes we can. Hold me across your lap firs and sit up perfectly streight."
Kira nodded and did as she was told. She sat up streight and held the Mani Katti across her lap. "Now what?"
"Close your eyes and consintrate on your friend, Lady Kagome. This is basically like meditation only it actually works on finding your targets. Now focus."
Kira had studied meditation once but never really commited to it. But now that she needed it to find Kagome, she knew she was going to study it again.
But for now she focused intently on Kagome. All the time, the Mani Katti was telling her to focus.
She soon gasped sharply as she felt herself being pulled in a certain direction. Her vision was passing through a forest at demonic speed, trees whipping passed her. Her vision then flew over an open field and toward an unfamiliar village. She was then taken into a large hut that she guess was the leader's house and saw their friends sitting around a fire having a bonquet. She then saw Kagome look up at the moon outside and she thought for sure that she said Inuyasha and Kira's names and hoped that they were okay.
Kira was soon pulled out of the hut, back across the field and the forest until she snapped back to reality. "Whoa. That was cool."
"What did you see? Are they okay?" Inuyasha asked as he poked the fish.
"They're fine. They are all in a lodgeing of some sort in a village about a half day's run from here." She stated as she placed the Mani Katti on the ground next to her and checked her share of fish.
"Good. At least we know they're safe." He said as he picked up a fish and bit into it. "Fish is done."
Kira smiled and picked up her fish. Yeah safe. For now. They might be attacked tomorrow before we can get to them. She thought as she ate.
After a restless sleep for Kira, the two demons ran off in search of the village Kira saw last night the next morning. Kira was surprized that she was getting faster and beating Inuyasha. She smirked at this as he was only a few feet behind her.
By mid-afternoon they reached the outskirts of the village.
"Shouldn't we be going IN to the village?" Kira asked as she watch Inuyasha sniff for Kagome's scent on all fours.
"Not a chance. I've gotten used to the fact that not many people like demons, let alone half demons like me. They'd rather attack first and asked questions later." He said as he moved foreward a bit.
"But they could still be in the village right now." Kira said as she looked over at the village.
"Nope. They aren't here. Kagome's scent is leading away form the village. She and the others must have left this morning." He said as he stood up and looked down the path that led out of the village.
Kira relaxed and took in the scent. He was right. If she faced the village, kagome's scent wasn't there at all. But when she looked down the path she could deffinately smell the scent of vanilla and lavender. "Inuyasha. The scent...it's getting weaker."
"I know. We have to move." He said before he took off.
Kira growled at his impatience and then went after him before the humans in the village noticed she was there.
Almost there Kagome. Almost there. She thought as she smelled the scent getting stronger. She then noticed another scent that was unfamiliar to her.
"Hey Inuyasha. Who smells like seaweed and...what is that?...burned earth?" She asked as she caught up wth him.
Inuyasha's eyes went wide with fear and then switched to anger. "Naraku! He's attacking Kagome!"
Oh no. My prediction is coming true now?! She thought as she went faster.
She then jumped heard and flew in the air.
There it was up ahead about 80 feet from where they were. She saw an enormus spider attacking a small group of three people. She then recognized the large feline form of Kilala and Sango's boomerage flying through the air. "THERE THEY ARE! 80 FEET AHEAD OF US! THEY'RE BEING ATTACK BY A GIANT SPIDER!" She yelled down to Inuyasha as she soon decended to the earth.
"Great! Now i can finish him off!" Inuyasha said as he pulled out Tetsusaiga.
Kira took out the Mani Katti and felt it pulse in her hand.
"Remember you're training Lady Kira. Look for the rift between the demonic winds. That is where you need to strike in order for the Dragon Wind Strike to work." The sword said as it pulsed in her hand.
"Right." She then ran infront of Inuyasha to make sure he didn't get in the way of her attack.
She could sense it from twenty feet away, she had a clear shot to Naraku, none of their friends were in the way. She then focused on the demonic winds.
She saw her blue wind appear and a red one clashing with it. THERE! She swung her blade and cried, "Dragon Wind STRIKE!"
A large shot of pure white and blue energy erupted from the blade and rushed forward. It knocked down trees and bushes in it's path as it rushed foreward.
Meanwhile in the battle, Miroku looked over at the row of trees behind him. He could sense something powerful was coming towards them. "EVERYONE! Move!" He said as he started running.
Kilala took off into the air with Sango on her back. Shippo transformed into a large pink balloon and had Kagome get on him, then also took off into the air. The Naraku Spider just stood there and laughed. "Cowards! Do you give up so soon?"
It was then the a powerful large white beam hit him streight on, running up and over his eight lagged body. He howled in pain as Kagome smiled. "Inuyasha and Kira! They found us!"
Right on cue, the two jumped out from the trees behind Kagome and Shippo. Inuyasha released his Wind Scar attack on Naraku while Kira landed on Shippo. "You okay Kags?"
"Yeah. I'm fine Kira. Was that you're attack?" she asked as she looked down at the newly formed trail on the ground that looked like diaganal claw marks on the deep void.
"Yep. It's my Dragon Wind Strike attack from the Mani Katti." She said as she showed Kagome the blade in her hands. A ghostly vapor came off the blade as it hung by her side.
"Cool."
"A LITTLE HELP DOWN HERE!" Inuyasha was being hit with one of the spider's legs while Sango threw her boomerang again to help.
"Oh. Right." Kira smiled at Kagome and then jumped off Shippo to help Inuyasha. She rose the blade over her head and released another powerful beam of white light toward Naraku.
"Who are you?!" Naraku yelled ass he looked up at Kira.
"I am Kira Karazane! And i'm gonna kicked you're ass!" She said as she released the Dragon Wind Strike on him again.
The giant spider roared and swung it's front leg at her. She jumped just in time but got hit from his other leg. She flew across the battle feild until she hit a tree.
She whinced in pain and fell to her knees. "Okay. Now I'm pissed."
Sango and Miroku were close by and were stunned by what Kira just said. "I think she's been around Inuyasha too much over the past few days." Sango said as she watched the demon girl get up and run after Naraku.
"I quiet agree. She's starting to sound like him." Miroku said as he caustiously stokred Sango's bottom.
Sango blushed and then slapped the monk across the face. "Do you have to do that now? We're in the middle of a battle here!"
"It's the hand i swear! It has a mind of it's own!" he stated as he watched Sango take into the air on Kilala. He then sighed and went back into battle. I am so misunderstood.
I've had enough of this. Naraku thought as he swung his front legs at the demons and demon slayer's weapon again. He then laughed and his whole body turned into purple and black smoke.
"Miasma!" Miroku yelled as he covered his mouth with his sleeve.
"Kira! Get out of there!" Shippo yelled as he hovered away from the smoke.
Inuyasha jumped out of the poisonous gas coughing and looked over at Kira, coughing as the maisma got to her. "Kira!"
"Until we meet again Inuyasha. I just wanted to see who you're new friend was." Naraku said as he took off into the air.
"NARAKU! You're not getting away!" came Kira's voice as she was suddenly seen running over to a tree and jumping into it.
"KIRA! DON'T!" Kagome tried running after her friend.
Kira didn't listen. She used all her strength and jumped out of the tree like a rocket and went after Naraku. The Mani Katti was glowing as she flew after him. What happened next surprized everyone.
A single tentical shot out of the smoke and stabbed Kira in the same shoulder she was biten on a week ago. She screamed in pain as the tentical then went through her shoulder and wrapped around her.
"You shall die now, for you're foolish attemps to destroy me." He then made the tentical start tightening around her body, crushing her.
Kira screamed so loudly it could be heard for miles around. Just before she was just about to go unconcious, the Jewel of Elune started glowing a bright purple light. It got so bright that it nearly blinded the groud on the ground.
Kira blacked out as she felt herself evaporate from Naraku's grasp. The moment the light faded, Kira was gone, disappeared completely.
Feeling satisfied, and yet slightly confused, Naraku continued his escape.
Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango, Miroku, Kilala and Shippo were staring at where their friend just was.
"Where's Kira?" Shippo sounded like he was about to cry.
"I...I don't know Shippo. Her aura...it...it just vanished." Sango said as she dropped her boomerang in shock.
"Vanished into thin air." Miroku lowered his staff as he looked away and down at Shippo.
Shippo jumped into Kagome's arms and started crying, for he thought that ment Kira was dead. "Kira can't be gone! She just can't."
"No. I don't think she is Shippo." Inuyasha stated as he sheathed Tetsusaiga.
"Wha...What do you mean Inu...Inuyasha?" The little fox demon asked as he looked at the hanyou with tears in his eyes.
"I think that light came from her Jewel of Elune." He stated as he looked at Shippo.
"Do you think the jewel saved her?" Sango asked as she looked hopeful at the hanyou.
"Not sure. But we really don't know all that much about her jewel."
"It must have saved her. Just like when Tensaiga save Sesshomaru when Inuyasha used the Wind Scar on him." Miroku stated as he readjusted the prayer beads on his right hand.
"Then she's alive. Somewhere here in fuedal Japan." Kagome said as she looked into the sky.
It was near night fall when she finally woke. She gripped a sword handle tightly as she sturred from unconciousness. Which was a mistake, being a pain in her left shoulder shot down her back.
"Lady Kira? Lady Kira are you awake?" Came a familiar voice that echoed in her mind.
Who said that? She thought as she just layed there on the ground. The cool grass on her face felt good on her skin. What happened to me?
"Lady Kira, it is I, your sword the Mani Katti, speaking to you. Your Jewel of Elune teleported you out of Naraku's grasp."
It...It did? She thought as she slowly opened her eyes. All I remember was this odd feeling that I was evaporating and then the pain stopped.
"You've been unconcious for hours. Your body is probably half way healed by now Lady Kira."
That explains why I'm not dead right now. She retorted as she slowly tried to sit up, using the sword to help her.
She was soon sitting on the ground and looked around. This clearing...
"What about it Lady Kira?" The Mani Katti asked as it was sheathed.
I saw it in a premonition a few days ago. Only, I was standing. And then, Sesshomaru's servent came and told he his lord wished to meet me. She said as she carefully tried to stand up. My body feels like lead.
"THE Lord Sesshomaru? I've heard many things about him when I was still living in this era. I hear he's really arrogant and cold hearted."
You better not let him hear you say that. Inuyasha told me he tends to attack first then ask questions later. She said as she looked around the clearing, holding her injured shoulder.
That's when she heard it, the russle in the trees behind her. She turned around and saw the toad demon she knew to be Jaken step forward, holding a staff with two heads on it high above him. And just like in her premonition, he had a look of annoyence on his small toad face.
She looked at him seriously as she looked at him. "Who are you?"
His large yellow eyes went wide for a second, in surprize Kira guessed, and then they narrowed into a glare.
"Why are you staring at me?" She asked as she continued to stare at him coldly.
The demon huffed and thn turned around. "Follow me wench."
"Why should I?" She asked as she stood were she was.
Jaken stopped and glared at her over his shoulder. "Insolent girl. My lord Sesshomaru wishes to meet you."
Kira smirked and then followed him. At last. I get to meet the demon from my dreams.
