Chapter 4

The First Battle and Necklace  

a/n: ^.^ I'm soo happy, ohh so happy, I got a lot of reviews, around ten, and I've only had this story for one day, that's actually pretty good, but I can do better, so to help me out and make me extra happy so I do something FUN, review, and you won't regret it... Now, to the story...

InuYasha jumped over some trees as Kirara pranced along the sky. The say smoke in the far distant. When they reached the village, bodies were located everywhere, the huts were all burnt down, and there in the middle of it all was Naraku.

No one knows exactly where Naraku came from, but it was certain he was a human before. Some say he was an old thief by the name Onigumo (i'm not sure if I spelled that right, I don't have my DVD's to check, so you know what it means though) who only wished that the Shikon no Tama was evil, tainted with a curse, to become more powerful, more beautiful. That's why they say that Onigumo called forth the demons of the mountains to give him strength. There for forming the ship-changing demon he is.

That story made sense, but no one was certain.

Naraku turned and looked at the five, "I see you have a new companion, it will do you no good, the jewel is already tainted, and only that priestess baka Kikyo can undo it's beauty," he held up a purplish, but mostly pink, jewel, known as the Shikon no Tama. InuYasha growled, and Sango was getting ready to through Hiraikotsu.

Naraku pulled the jewel under his cloak, and through out a little wooden doll, before falling back and disappearing. The wooden doll had a little piece of hair on it, but soon it became the cloaked figure itself, only roots and such came from under it. InuYasha growled again, he hit some of the roots away, then ran after Naraku, "Sango, Miroku, take care of that will ya?" he yelled, still running not waiting for and answer.

Kagome blinked, "Go after him Kagome," Shippo whined. Kagome snapped back to reality and started to run after him.

'He runs way to fast, if only...THATS IT,' she thought silently to herself, she pulled out an arrow and strung it. She looked around to see blurs running away from InuYasha. She let go of her arrow. It flew with a mystical glow behind it. To her complete surprise it hit Naraku's back. InuYasha turned to her, but ran over to Naraku.

"IRON REAVER SOUL STEALER," InuYasha yelled as his claws fell down upon Naraku who dodged it easily. InuYasha looked in the direction he went and dropped to the ground. He swiped again at Naraku, who yet again dodged it.

"This is not a fight, you are pitiful," Naraku said, making InuYasha swipe at him again.

Kagome strung another arrow and let go, this missed Naraku, but it helped InuYasha hit his right arm off.

Naraku fell back and looked at where his arm should be, he looked down at the arm, which moved. It flew back up to his body and attachment itself. InuYasha and Kagome both looked at him in shock, "You pitiful half-breed, you forget, a hanyou could never kill me," he said, then fell back and disappeared.

InuYasha looked to where he should be and sighed in defeat. Kagome walked up behind him and put her hand on his shoulder. InuYasha jumped, but didn't do anything. Soon Sango and Miroku came running up. Both sighed, they knew Naraku got away.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

All 4 friends sat around the fire, Shippo was asleep in Kagome's bag. InuYasha was staring at the flames, as his eyes were calm, confused, full of fear, all of what?

Kagome was gazing at him with sympathetic eyes, she looked down at the necklace he had made her. It was so beautiful, but it was glowing a foggy blue. All looked at her in confusion.

"Uhh.. InuYasha, why is this glowing?" Kagome asked, not taking her eyes off the piece of art.

"Where did you get that crystal?" Miroku asked.

"I, got it from a cave, there are tons in there, I don't know why it's glowing," InuYasha said a little fast.

The glow faded letting everyone sigh in relief. 'what was that all about?' Kagome questioned herself.

"May  see that, Kagome?" Miroku questioned holding out a hand. Kagome glanced over at InuYasha who seemed a little tense. Kagome pulled the necklace above her head and handed it to Miroku, who examined it cafely and handed it back to her.

"I've heard of such necklaces, although it's hard to find one, especailly handmeade. They are usely forged as a gift exprecing love," Miroku said and everyone looked at the blushing hanyou, "It works as a guidence if the person it is given to loves them back," everyone eyed the new reincaration of a tomato Kagome.

"But I didn't know anything about such necklaces, I just thought about making her one, and decided to get a crystal from the cave we found togther, then I decied it need a little more so I gave it that celtis shit, then I decided she loved the moon, so I carved one, whats The big deal?" InuYasha whined, trying to cover up so much.

"The celtic thing ehh? Yes, I knew it looked familiar, where did you find it InuYasha?" Miroku questioned.

"In the woods," InuYasha said calmly.

"THATS IT, I knew it, Kagome, that's the celtic hanger, it resembols love and only appears where one in love with another will find it, and know who to give it to," Miroku said, nodding his head as if approving himself.

InuYasha and Kagome blushed scarlet, "That can't be it!" they both said at once.

Sango burst out laughing, "I *gasp* knew it! YES," she yelled waking up the baby kitsune.

"What's all the yelling?" Shippo asked.

"Nothing, go back to sleep," Miroku said, trying very hard not to also laugh.

"Whats so funny?" InuYasha said, turning away and crossing his arms.

"Nothing, we just were, I don't know, expecting this," Sango said, still in a fit of laughter,.

"We are the best of friends, it could just mean we love each other as a sister of brother," Kagome said, still very red.

Miroku stopped laughing and whipped away some imaginary tears, "Yes, I guess so, but the jewel is meant for love and relationship," Miroku burst into laughter again.

InuYasha stood and walked off. Kagome watched him go, as did Miroku and Sango who seemed to have stopped laughing.

"I knew it..." Sango trailed off as she looked at Miroku and both started laughing again.
