Chapter 4

The Dragon Soul

~At an expensive in~

"Thank you for repelling the evil cloud, young monk" the innkeeper said, bowing repeatedly.

"My pleasure. Thank you for the accommodations." Miroku replied, smiling. Suddenly, the door to the room is burst open and a young (and apparently attractive young woman considering they were wading in miroku's drool) stood at the doorway.

"Are you the wandering warriors that have stopped in our village?" She hurriedly said. They nodded and she continued. "My son was taken by the kraken!"

"The kraken?" The group said in unison.

"Yes. The kraken is a giant squid demon that lives in the lake right over there." She pointed out the window at a large lake. The mountains formed a semi-circle around the lake and reeds covered the edge. "We usually do not bother each other but today, for no reason, attacked. It took my son with it and put him in a cave, which he guards tirelessly." She then started bursting out crying. Kagome quickly walked over to the crying lady and tried to comfort her.

"It's ok. Im sure your son is fine" kagome whispered, patting the young lady on the back.

~The lady's thoughts: this is working out better than i had hoped. They are stupider than i thought. But i must offer a reward to them otherwise they might slit my throat when they find out i tricked them. ~

She suddenly seemed to break out of her stupor and looked at them all with a hazy gaze. "You will be rewarded well for your deeds." She said suddenly.

"Ok, well help!" Kagome suddenly exclaimed.

"We will?" Inuyasha said, confused.

Kagome walked over to inuyasha and whispered in his ear "i think the kraken has a jewel shard!"

"^O^. I get it" he whispered back "okay we'll help!"

"Thank you so much! Oh, i haven't introduced myself. Im lady kayada, the chief of this village" she said. She then noticed miroku's little display "is he alright?" She pointed to miroku, watching drool ooze out of his mouth.

"Oh, he's always like this but, no, he's not okay." Sango said, elbowing him in the stomach and watching him fall on his face.

"Ohh, is wittle sango jewous?" Miroku said in the most childish voice he could muster, getting up from the floor.

"No" was her deft response, crossing her arms and pretended to be looking at the artwork on the wall.

"Suuuuuure." Was inuyasha's sarcastic response, earning a death glare from sango that promised much pain.

~Kagome's pov~

A few minutes later the entire gang was psyched up about the upcoming fight. Especially me since it was my first fight to use my demon powers. To my surprise, i felt a hand on my shoulder and when i turned to look, i was met with those loving, golden eyes, which belonged to none other than inuyasha.

"Good luck, kagome" he spoke softly, whilst i just lost myself in those eyes of his.

"Young lady..." kayada said, abruptly breaking our eye contact. If i had looked into those eyes any longer i would have melted into a puddle on the floor. (Sano: no one ever gives them a chance in my story. the only time they weren't interrupted was in the forest on the night kagome changed. XD)

"Kagome" i answered quickly.

"Yes. Well, lady kagome, do you plan to fight the kraken unarmed?" I just looked at he stunned. I hadn't given any thought to a weapon.

"Umm, i guess so. I don't have a weapon to use" was all i could say.

"Well, if you can use it, i think i have a sword for you" she said, walking over to the display case. Opening it up, she pulled out a sword handle. Nothing special about it. Just a wooden handle to a sword. "This is the dragon soul"

"Um, lady, that's just a handle." Shippo said, walking out of the bedroom.

"Right now it is. But then again, inuyasha's tetsuseiga is just a skinny stick right now" she responded. No one thought it weird that she knew about the tetsuseiga.

"so that's what you meant when you said 'if you can use it'" i said, grabbing the handle from out of hands. before her eyes the stick transformed. a burst of light from the end became a blade, gleaming with a hidden power. many little light tentacles came out and fused together to become the shape of 6 dragon fingers. thin strips of light wrapped around the handle and became leather.

"apparently, you are the blades chosen master. that means i must give you this" kayada said, pulling out a blood-red ruby. "this is the spirit of the phoenix. it will grant you the power over fire and give you its wings." she handed the gem to me and i accepted without hesitation.

"so i just place it in the hilt like thi..." she couldn't finish her statement an enormous jolt surged through her body and up to her brain. she wanted to scream but her voice wouldn't work. she just dropped to her knees and clutched her temples. flames engulfed her body although it didn't burn anything. the flames slowly concentrated onto 2 points in her back and without warning, a pair of flame covered phoenix wings shot out her back. as quickly as it had started, it stopped. still clutching her blade tightly, she collapsed to the floor.
