Chapter 8: Lake Monsters and a New Ally? Part 3

Last time: "We have to do something! I'm sure no one he wants to be a sacrifice!" Yusuke said. Just then, they heard the sounds of drums. "I believe, detective, that the ceremony has just begun…"

Hiei got up and started to walk around. "This is not good." Kagome said and bit her bottom lip. "Inuyasha would be able to break the barrier, but he would need the Tessiga to do it." She said as the drums got louder and they could see the villagers starting to walk towards the lake, torches in hand.

"Inuyasha, do you smell that?" Shippo asked as he sniffed the air. "Smell what Shippo?" Kagome asked as Inuyasha sniffed the air. "Wait… I know what he smells…!" Inuyasha turned towards the lakeside just as a little girl walked out of it, leading a two-headed dragon and the little green toad like demon. "It seems you all got into a bind! To bad milord Sesshomaru wont help!" the toad like demon laughed in his squeaky voice.

"Lord Jaken! That's not nice! Lord Sesshomaru would too help them!" Rin pouted. "What makes you think that little human girl?" Jaken squeaked. Rin answered by turning to the Daiyoukai, who stepped up behind them, and giving puppy-dog eyes. "Please Lord Sesshomaru? They helped me before, please help them?" Sesshomaru studied Inuyasha and the group before silently pulling out Tokijin and sliced the weak spot.

Yusuke and the group made quick work of the cage after that and with a quick swim for most, they were standing on the lakeside close to Sesshomaru. "Thank ye for your help." Jin smiled. "Alright Sesshomaru, why are you here anyway!?" Inuyasha demanded. "I do not have to tell my reasons to a half breed like you Inuyasha." Sesshomaru said coldly.

"Now, now, no fighting until we get to Naraku!" Yusuke scolded. "Speaking of Naraku, shouldn't we be going?" Hagiri demanded. Yusuke nodded then turned to Sesshomaru. "Your welcome to join us, we might use the help." Sesshomaru studied the group. "Alright, I will form a truce, but only until Naraku is defeated, then I will kill you Inuyasha." He said icily. "Fair enough." Jin grinned. "But before we continue, we need our weapons."

The group nodded and started to walk back towards the village, well all but Sesshomaru, Rin and Jaken as it was decided they would stay there and wait for the group. Inuyasha lead the way around back and, while the villagers where back at the lake, searched the huts. After looking in a few huts, they found them and quickly strapped them on, just as some of the villagers came back. "There they are!" one of them yelled and the men ran after the group with spears and pitchforks.

"If you want a fight, I'll give you a fight!" Inuyasha yelled and pulled out Tessiga while Yusuke smirked and punched his palm in glee. "Now we can pay you back for locking us up!" Yusuke said then both Inuyasha and he attacked the villagers, making short work of them. "Now that that is settled, lets go!" Jin said and they walked back to where Sesshomaru was waiting. They started to jog in the direction that both Sesshomaru and Inuyasha agreed Naraku's sent was coming from.

Kurama was again looking out the window as the sun set, one hand lying on his lap while the other on the window frame. "Please be safe Hiei." He whispered and a tear fell from his right eye.

Touya and Mitari huddled together and tried to come up with a plan that would help Kurama and them escape, the only problems were the heat and they didn't know where Kurama was kept. Both looked out the window at the same time as the sun fell beneath the arisen. 'Jin…' Touya thought as he clenched his fist. 'Hagiri…please find us.' Mitari thought and hugged his self. All three of the prisoners watched as the stars came out in the dark blue sky, wishing for the ones they loved.
