This chapter is dedicated to Jace'sVampiress97 for making me almost cry, you are really too sweet!

Chapter 11: Seven Is a Lucky Number

*Sesshomaru and Rin*

There was no moon in the night sky as the three demons and the small human walked along a worn dirt path.

"Hey you," Rin said, staring down at Jaken, "Are you sure you know where your leading us?" Jaken stopped and proudly planted his knobby hands on his hips, "Of course! I am Milord's most trusted advisor! You girl may call me Master Jaken." He was going to continue his speech, but Rin spoke up first, "Well, 'Master' Jaken, you'd better use those little legs of yours and hurry it up – or your precious lord's going to leave you behind." Sure enough, Rin, Ah-Un, and Lord Sesshomaru were far ahead.

"Oh darn it all, wait for me!" While Jaken scrambled his way closer, two glowing red eyes glared daggers at the dog demon from a large drifting feather, "Ah, Sesshomaru," a fan unfurled, and the demonic aura in the area increased, "Kanna may locate the jewel, but first…I have some business to settle with you." And the white feather began to descend.

*Elsewhere*

"Oh my poor aching back!" Bankotsu blinked at the voice, rising to his feet and peering around the cave's entrance. Suddenly, all back pains forgotten, something, or more accurately someone flew at him and squeezed him tightly. "Oh Banks, I missed you!"

"Yeah…nice to see you too Jakotsu," he quickly greeted the rest of his team before turning and gesturing at the old man behind him, "This is Totosai, Mukotsu…the man's who's repairing Banryuu." The old man in question stood and inclined his head. As he made his way over to the group a weird, three-eyed cow trailed after him.

"What did you say you called yourselves?" he asked, tilting his head and stroking his beard. "We are known as the Band of Seven. Men, introduce yourselves." Jakotsu bounded forward, grinning broadly and wiggling his fingers in a 'hello'. "You can call me Jakotsu! I'm super strong, super-fast and super se-" his sentence, which wouldn't have had a very appropriate ending, was cut-off by an irritated bald man who shoved him to the floor. "Dear Kami Jakotsu, control yourself!" he snarled, rolling his eyes.

"Aw man Renkotsu! You know I was just about to do the wink!" Jakotsu complained, peeling himself off of the floor.

"That's why I stopped you. Now, I am Renkotsu," he addressed Totosai, "And I am sorry I had to have been introduced by a gay idiot."

A soft sigh broke the awkward silence that followed and the calmest looking man of all the seven stepped forward. "You may call me Suikotsu." As he inclined his head, dark hair obscured the green marks on his cheeks, but not before Totosai saw them. "Quite curious," he murmured as Suikotsu stepped back and a giant of a man with a shock of green hair stepped forward, "I am Kyokotsu," he boomed, hunching over to avoid the cave's ceiling, "your cave is small!" Totosai offered his apologies and looked on with interest as a strange metal and flesh person shifted forward. "Ginkotsu." His metal jaw clanked on each syllable and Totosai strained to make out the name in between the clanging that echoed off the walls. "Your name is what?" he asked, resisting the urge to cover his ears to prepare for the next onslaught of metal montage. "He said 'Ginkotsu', he doesn't really talk much," the last, fat man said, "I am Mukotsu master of deadly poison."

Bankotsu cleared his throat, "He's also the one responsible for the damage done to Banryuu." Mukotsu gulped and Totosai just laughed. "You thought Banryuu was damaged? It only looked as so while it expelled the poison from its system. I was actually reinforcing it for you." Mukotsu let out a triumphant yell, "Ha! So I didn't cause any damage! Oh, you all owe me…"

*Inuyasha*

Everything went black; his hair, his eyes, and the moonless sky. Heck, tonight there weren't even any stars out. After Kagome's eyes shut a beat of silence followed until Myoga spoke up with a slightly shaky tone, "Master, you shall get your demonic powers back at sunrise, I presume?" Inuyasha gave a slight nod, his eyes closed so he wouldn't have to see his friend's expressions. Inuyasha expected anger, resentment, or even hostility for hiding such a huge weakness. What he didn't expect was a hesitant Sango gently asking him: "Why didn't you tell us Inuyasha?" His eyes snapped open to meet with scorching gazes. "I didn't want you to think I was weak…" True, Inuyasha had always seemed like an unstoppable force of nature to his close companions.

Myoga cleared his throat and crossed both pairs of arms, "As master Inuyasha is only a half-demon – although a very powerful one – he is taken over by his human side during his time of weakness. For him it is the night where there is no moon in the sky; the night of the new moon."

Miroku nodded to himself, even though he was still upset, 'Why didn't I notice this before?' A sigh from Inuyasha broke Miroku's train of thought. "I'll explain some other things when Kagome wakes up."

*Kagome*

"I'm sorry," a woman murmured sadly, "I did not foresee how much trouble I would cause…" The woman was stunning: long, straight hair, pale alabaster skin, and sharp all-knowing eyes. "Kagome," the woman's voice had taken on a dream-like quality, "I am the priestess Kikyo. 15 years ago I took you from your home and sealed my powers, along with Shikon no Tama, inside of you."

'Isn't the sacred jewel what Inuyasha was after?' Kagome remembered. "Why me?" was all she could manage aloud as Kikyo drifted closer.

"Midoriko chose you. You are capable of what needs to be done on order to both the sacred jewel and Naraku!" Kagome recognized Midoriko and Naraku from Inuyasha's tale of the sacred jewel. "I'll do whatever it takes to stop this Naraku and seal the jewel!" She said, determined.

"Doing all these things could end your life," Kikyo told her, "Are you sure you are okay with the consequences?"

Kagome bravely nodded, though inside she was shaken to the bone. 'Consequences?'
