CHAPTER TWELVE
A rushed murmur went through the group. 'Where's he going? Are we supposed to follow that dope? What game's he playin' at?' Nobody knew what to do.
Hsike the demon who had found Kagome in the woods, stepped out and walked
into the forest after Inu-Yasha.
When the group finally assembled under a great pine by a pond, Inu-Yasha
told them what they would have to do.
"First of all you all need a partner. Everyone paired off, but Kagome who
was left all alone. "Next, Everyone see that pond over there. You will all go into the pond and swim to the bottom and........" he cut off there and put one hand down the front of his robes. He pulled out a string. Attached to this string was an Jewel shard. "This though it
looks remarkably like a piece of the Jewel, is just another polished stone. Ha ha! You didn't expect I'd let you fools touch a piece of the Shikon Jewel, did you?" Inu-Yasha glanced around at his students, a mischievous twinkle in his eye. "Now obviously you must retrieve the stone....."
"Just hand it over then." Hsike cut in.
"Well then Hsike, here you go." At this Inu-Yasha threw the stone into the air and it sailed easily over Hsike's head. It landed with a "plop" in the pond. "In you go." Inu-Yasha said gleefully.
Hsike looking stunned stepped forward then began to laugh. "Ha ha ha. Good one Inu-Yasha. You might want to work on your aim though."
"It landed exactly where it was aimed, Hsike. Now go retrieve the stone."
Inu-Yasha growled.
