''Kagome are you okay? '' Asked Inuyasha
''Yes, we need to go now we can't battle here not with the others trapped within the mountain. The dragon lord is on his way and from what I can remember he can fly fast.'' Said Kagome
She turned back to the mountain and they all could see the people within it like a mirror.
''Thank you all for your help, I shall return when the time comes.'' said Kagome
''Until then, be safe Lady Kagome.'' said both Akira, Sora
''We must go they are getting closer.'' Said Sesshomaru
Kagome spread out her wings as Inuyasha jumped on to Kai. Sesshomaru started to glow as did the others.
''Ah I see we arrived just in time to see you. How nice. Oh don't leave just yet. You have something that belongs to us. Hand it over.'' Said Yutaka
''In your dreams Yutaka.'' said Kagome
''Oh you know my name how sweet.'' Said Yutaka
''You stay the hell away from her.'' Said Inuyasha
''You're a coward who runs behind someone putting daggers in their back when battling your lord. It was not your battle to interfere with Yutaka.'' Said Kagome
Yutaka stepped back in shock.
''How?'' asked Yutaka
''I have been reborn and this time you and your lord will not win.'' Said Kagome
''We don't have time for this.'' Inuyasha said as he seen the dragon lord approaching fast.
All three glowed into a flash of light blinding all others around them as they took to the sky. They looked like shooting stars.
''Well that's new.'' said Yutaka
The Dragon lord had landed beside Yutaka.
''Yutaka, what was the light show about and where is the girl? '' Asked Lord Ryura
''That light show was them. They had blinded us and she has the staff.'' Said Yutaka
''I seen the direction they went. Come we will track them. The rest of you head back to the underground cave. Ryo you will help us track.'' said Lord Ryura
''Yes my lord.'' Ryo said
''Lord Ryura, there is something you need to know.'' Said Yutaka
''What is it?'' Lord Ryura asked
''The guardian, she is the same one.'' Said Yutaka
''That's impossible she died thousands of years ago.'' Said Lord Ryura
''My lord she has been reborn my lord and has her memories. She remembered who I was and how she died.'' Said Yutaka
Lord Ryura stopped in midair and looked to Yutaka.
''She will not fall for the same trick as last time. We will need to find and kill her fast.'' Said Lord Ryura
''She has also gained holy relic and maybe more I'm not sure. She is different and stronger than the last time we meet even her scent has changed a little. I felt the power from all three of them in waves. They are a very powerful group and to not be taken as fools.'' said Yutaka
''I have lost their trail my lord they had covered there scent, auras and moving with speed I'm unable to follow'' said Ryo
''Come we will head back to the cave and come up with some ideas. They may return to the village she came from.'' said Lord Ryura
''My lord we destroyed the village.'' said Yutaka
''She does not know about it. Their lord will have to return to the west some time. We will find them even if we have to look under every rock.'' said Lord Ryura

''Keh, I don't like running away.'' said Inuyasha
''I know I don't like it either, but we need to be smarter than him and if running away right now is the way to do it then so be it. But we will need help on taking him down.'' Said Kagome
''How do you know him?'' Asked Inuyasha
''Before the battle between the dragon lord and I. Yutaka and the rest of the people had agreed to let me and the dragon lord battle in order to save the lives of the others. I was battling the dragon lord when Yutaka ran up behind me and stuck his daggers in my back. It was then that the dragon lord finished me off.'' Said Kagome
''He would have to be a coward to do something so dishonest.'' Said Inuyasha
''Takara said, after I died they went to killing thousands of people and never noticed when she was ported to the mountain for protection.'' Said Kagome
''So you were the guardian in your past life? '' Asked Inuyasha
''Yes, I was the first and only guardian. I have been reborn many times after to live as a normal human unknown about my past life. Until the ancient god was ready and recreated me as an immortal with the jewel inside my body. But my powers and immortality were sealed within me until the jewel was destroyed. My memories are slowly returning after I was reunited with Takara.'' Said Kagome
''What do you remember about him?'' asked Inuyasha
''We have to work together with others in order to take him down. He is the one that kills almost all of the demons and in later time humans, holy wars, and viruses among other things will kill the remaining demons and other beings. When we meet with the others i will explain more on what i know about him.'' said Kagome
''I think Kai needs a break.'' said Inuyasha
''Come'' said Sesshomaru
''Keh, I'm not sure where the hell we are.'' said Inuyasha
''We are in the corner of the eastern lands.'' Said Sesshomaru
''Who is the Lord here?'' asked Kagome
''Lord Daiki, he is allies to the west. There is a cave close to this area we can rest in it. '' Said Sesshomaru

''What was all the yelling about last night?'' Lord Yuji asked as he took a seat at the table to eat.
It was then that Kimi and Shippo entered the room.
''Good morning.'' Kimi and Shippo both said
''It was Lord Taro. Please have a seat and have something to eat. This is Lord Yuji of the southern lands. Lord Yuji this is Lady Kagome's son Prince Shippo and this is lady Kimi, she is lord Inuyasha's mate.'' Said Lady Inukameko
''Well it is nice to meet you both.'' said Lord Yuji
''It is nice to meet you.'' both Kimi and Shippo said
''Wow his a lot nicer then that other guy. Glad mom was not here last night.'' Said Shippo
''Knowing how protective Kagome is, he would have been kissing the ground a lot harder.'' Said Kimi
''Lord Taro, like's putting his foot in his mouth and thinks everybody is below him.'' said Lord Yuji
''My foot is not in my mouth Lord Yuji.'' Lord Taro said as he walked into the room.
''I am Lord Taro of the northern lands.'' Taro said
''Your land is full of rage demons.'' said Shippo
''How do you know about that?'' Lord Taro asked
''We were traveling through your lands and we had come across the wolf clan leaving to join Uncle Kouga. We were also attacked by some and where a witch held Kimi.'' Said Shippo
''You should not have been on my land in the first place.'' said Lord Taro
''You should have done something a long time ago on the blood lust demons. The area is full of them.'' Kimi said as she was getting upset on the way he spoke.
''It is being taken care of. NOW SHUT UP HALF BREED.'' said Lord Taro
''I WILL NOT. You have endangered everything on your lands by not doing anything. Many have tried to tell you about the blood lust demons for the last 8 years. People are being killed, starving and dying. You have been ignoring them all and I maybe a half breed as you say now. But I was born as a human priestess and I have lived on your land since I was born so don't tell me to shut up.'' Said Kimi
''Well this is interesting news.'' A couple of elders said as they walked into the room to eat.
Lord Taro face turned pale white.
''I agree'' said both Lord Yuji and Lady Inukameko
''It seems there is more that we were not told about.'' an elder said as the rest of the elders walked in to the room. They had been standing outside of the dining area listening on everything that had been said.
''Lord Taro, you are to remain here until further notice. If the findings are true and nothing has been done to correct it. You will be removed as the Lord of the north. You will have two choices to be placed into a prison for the remainder of your life or be put to death.'' Said an elder named Takayuki
''I would rather be put to death then live in a cage.'' Said Lord Taro
''Do you admit, the findings are true then?'' Asked Takayuki
''I have not had time to do anything about it.'' Said Lord Taro
''How have you not had time in 8 years?'' asked Lord Yuji
''I have more important matters to worry about instead of those beneath me.'' Said Lord Toro
''Everyone in this room including the servants is a witness to what has been said correct?'' Takayuki asked
They all nodded, even the servants.
''Very well, Lord Taro you are here by removed and no longer the lord of the north your lands will be placed upon the elders and the remaining Lords of the west, east, and south.'' said Takayuki
''Elder Masha, have you recorded everything onto a scroll for records? '' Asked another elder
''Yes, I will need everyone to write your name or give a mark.'' Masha said
Once everything was done the elder had spoken again.
''Lord Taro, you will be placed into prison until further notice. Guards remove him.'' said Takayuki
''You all will regret this.'' said Lord Taro
''I'm afraid you are the one who is regretting Taro'' Lord Yuji said as the guards removed Toro from the room.
''He does like putting his foot in his mouth. But can I eat now?'' asked Shippo
They went to laughing at what he said.
''Yes you may little one.'' said Lady Inukameko
