The mysterious murder and the missing jewel chapter 2
~ * ~
Inuyasha has been vigilantly keeping watch for anything suspicious. Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Kagome however were sharing how they felt about the situation. Kagome said, "I sure hope Naraku isn't back." "Miroku, don't you think Kikyo could help?" asked Sango. "No, I doubt it," Said Kagome. As if it was shouted Inuyasha said, "Hey, why don't we ask Kikyo to help?" "Hell no!" Shouted Kagome, "Have you all gone crazy?" Sango said, "Well, it couldn't hurt." "I say we go!" yelled Inuyasha.
So Kirara went chasing after some nearby soul catchers. Finally, the gang found her in a nearby tree. She floated down, "Hello Inuyasha, Kagome and everyone else. Congratulations on getting the jewel. Now give the jewel to me so I may destroy it, since my sister could not." "See Kikyo that's why we came to find you,"said Inuyasha. "Let me guess, the jewel was stolen." Everyone looked a little perplexed. Kikyo continued, "After you've guarded the jewel for years it becomes an every day thing." "Sooo…," Miroku drawled, "Will you help us?" "I can and I will, for the sake that the jewel is not used for evil."
So now the gang and Kikyo began watching over Japan with both Kirara and Kikyo's soul catchers. Suddenly, Kagome spotted a suspicious glowing. They go in for a closer look and see it's the village girl, Kayko! She was holding the Shikon Jewel but, wait she had…red eyes? She then noticed their presence and shouted, "Stay back! I can not let you take my master's treasure!" Just then Sesshoumaru lurked out from the bushes.
"Hello little brother," he said in a cold voice, but what's this! He's not alone. Apparently his new girl, an awful blooded youkai is with him. "Hi, I'm Asaru." Said the mysterious woman. At this point an older, more mature Rin accompanied by a disgruntled Jakken followed from the shadows. "Sesshoumaru-sama," Rin sweetly said, "who are these strange people and what do they want with your jewel?" "Now run along, Rin, we don't need our little princess to get hurt." Commanded Sesshoumaru. "O~kay!!!" she squealed as she ran off with Jakken following her. "Okay, now listen here, Sesshoumaru, I need that jewel, so give it here." Ordered Inuyasha.
"No, for I can't you see little brother because what my queen desires, my queen will have and you will not stop me." He answered. "You bastard! I'll kill you for that!" Inuyasha yelled as he drew Tetsusaiga from its sheath. "Now now dear brother, how will you kill me if my sword will not allow it?" "OOH! You –" Inuyasha was cut off as Sesshoumaru continued talking, "Well if you're done, I'm afraid you must die." Sesshoumaru attacked Inuyasha with his poison claws. Inuyasha, not expecting to be attacked was knocked backwards. Miroku then released his wind tunnel.
