I'm sorry it took so long…. I've been busy….

FG:*looks at reviews* hey! you like me! you really like me!

Inu-Yasha: no they don't.

FG:*gets all teary eyed* they don't?

Kagome: Inu-Yasha, be quiet! they do like you.

FG: Yay!

Kel: What are you people talking about?

FG: Do you like me?

Kel: I have to… you could kill me off.

FG: now I'm sad…….

Inu-Yasha: Just get on with the story!

FG: Oh yeah!

Kagome: oh, before she forgets,  "Fire Gemron does not me or any one else from Inu-Yasha"

FG: thanks, Kagome… I forgot….. hee hee. 

Inu-Yasha: Sigh.

Chapter 2. The truth

Kel, from where she was at, felt a sudden surge of goddess magic. Earlier, Kel had gone to get Sasha, knowing her friend would be of help, for she was also a half-goddess. Sasha and Kel headed off toward to source of the power. Kel had a bad feeling.

The two friends came upon a small clearing. Kel saw Kagome, a monk, a demon exterminator, and a small kitsune. In front of them were two black haired young men.

Kagome spotted Kel and hurried over.

"Kel? What are you doing here?" Kagome demanded.

"You know I was a half-goddess. I'm hunting my step-sister, a girl who calls herself Chaos."

"Is she a half-goddess, too?"

Kel nodded, "But her powers are totally evil."

"What is going on?" Sasha said.

Kagome turned to look at the two blacked haired guys. "Well… That's Inu-Yasha and Sessho-maru."

            "What? But I thought you said Inu-Yasha was a half demon and Sessho-maru was a full demon. Those two are defiantly human." Kel frowned.

"I know. I can't explain it… They both just suddenly changed into normal humans…"

Kel and Sasha looked at each other. "Chaos…" Kel growled.

Sessho-maru had finally spotted the two newcomers. He stopped growling at Inu-Yasha and turned to face them. He had heard what Kel had said.

"You know the girl Chaos?" he asked.

Kel looked at the former demon and hesitated. "….She is my step-sister. How do you know her?"

It was Sessho-maru's turn to hesitate. "The girl showed up at my fortress not long ago. She said she was seeking refuge. When I woke this morning, the girl was gone, and Rin was gone with her." he said finally.

Kel blinked as Kagome turned to her. "Why would Chaos want Rin?"

The answer was glaringly obvious to the half-goddess. Chaos would use Rin to hurt Sessho-maru. Kel blinked, but refused to answer. She looked at Sessho-maru. She was surprised at how handsome he was as a human. Sessho-maru glanced away, knowing the answer to Kagome's question.

"Well now, why don't we just go rip the kid apart?" Inu-Yasha growled, apparently forgetting he was human.

"It's not that easy," Kel said softly. "Chaos is a half-goddess of pure evil and hatred. She's stronger than she seems."

"But if that's the only way to help Inu-Yasha—" Sango started.

Kel cut her off with a sigh. "Chaos is my responsibility. I will handle her."

"It would be senseless fighting alone," Miroku said.

"But it's better than getting us all killed," Kel smiled grimly.

"Chaos is a half-goddess. It would be wisest for another half-goddess to fight her." Sasha put in.

"But we don't even know where Chaos is," Kagome said. "Please, stay with us until we find her."

Kel smiled, listening to the various agreements from Kagome's friends. "Alright, we can work together."

/Kel,\ Quicksilver spoke for the first time since they had come. /Do you think this is wise?\

Kel smiled as she picked up the little fox. /Don't worry, I won't let anything happen.\

*                                                           *                                                           *

Only a few days after Kel and Sasha had joined up with Kagome's gang, Kel left. She had an idea on how to find Chaos. She said she needed to see to something and that she would be back later. Kagome had begun to worry about her friend.

Kel headed south. She was determined to find more information on Chaos and her accomplices. Kel already knew  that the two strongest of Chaos's minions was a demon called Naraku, who  Kel  had doubts about, and a priestess named Kikyo.

Why a priestess? Kel wondered as she came at last to her destination: the hut of a seer.

A seer is one who can see the past, present, and future. They can tell you the answer to any question, if you ask the right question.

Time for some answers, Kel thought as she walked in.

The shop was small and dimly lit. An old blind woman knelt at the back of the room. Kel pushed back a beaded curtain and knelt in front of her.

"I thought you would come, though you did cause me to wonder," the old seer said in a raspy, reedy voice.

"I have some questions for you," Kel said.

The old woman leaned her head to one side. "Oh?"

Kel nodded. "I need to know about the two who work for Chaos."

The old seer smiled. "Hmmm. One helps voluntarily, one is forced to work."

"What about the demon?" Kel asked. "Is he being forced or is he helping of his own will?"

The old seer turned her head away from her. "A good question, young one. The demon wears a bracelet that holds a spell put there by the half-goddess. He acts not of his own."

"Naraku is the one being controlled?!"

The seer nodded.

"Then the priestess, Kikyo, is helping voluntarily?!"

Again, the seer nodded.

"How do I free the demon?"

The seer turn blind eyes on the girl. "You must destroy the charm that holds the spell."

/Easier said than done.\ Quicksilver said.

Kel nodded and laid a few coins on the table for the seer.

*                                                           *                                                           *

Chaos watched the girl  from a tree limb outside the seers hut. Beside her was a handsome man with long, wavy black hair.

"My step-sister is getting very annoying. We must do something soon. Naraku."

"Yes, Mistress Chaos?"

"Follow Kel. If she gets to intelligent, kill her."

"Yes, Mistress Chaos."

tee hee, cliffy.  I'll post more soon. 'till then, review.
