Chapter 9, The Youkai Jewel

It seemed like an entirety for them while they followed Foxie or what is left of her scent. Stara started to hiss very badly like a demon was going to come out and attacked but there was no one here. Yoko looked about just as well as Inu did and stopped while Inu kept going leaving Inuyasha alone for a moment. She then made Stara stopped and gazed at a beautiful lake but this no ordinary lake more like a lake of souls. There was souls everywhere just floating around. Dancing, giggling, laughing it made Inu more curious about that lake than everyone else was. She drew her cat closer to it with Inuyasha very close behind wanted a good look as well. Yoko was around somewhere my guess is he got lost in here. When they both look down in the lake they saw this red jewel but it was only a half. When Inuyasha saw that his jaw just dropped for the second time. It was true there was another jewel out in this era and Inu and Inuyasha found it together. Yoko looked down just in time to see ghosts float above the lake's surface. Stara whimpered in fear while Inu stepped back with Inuyasha right behind her and Yoko was just staring at them oddly not even moving a inch. The ghosts just floated upward disappearing while someone moved forward it was the same priestess everyone saw but how she get here?

"You..." Inu wanted to add more but couldn't, she had nothing to say.

"I know what you want...is your friend Foxie?" She was right on the buttom.



"How'd you know?" Inuyasha just ruined the conversation.

"I am the girl you seek but my real name is Hikari. Foxie was just a name I decided to call myself for now." When her blue eyes locked with Inu's she already knew something that they didn't.

"So you have no demon blood?" Yoko had to ask.

"No, I'm a priestess." Hikari held up her hand just like she did when she fought that one demon. "But relax this won't last for long...let the jewel take over for now..."

Everyone felt the same winds they felt last time but now it was stronger alot stronger and to make things worse the half of that red jewel was glowing. Things couldn't get any worser...while time froze so did everyone else except Inu and Yoko. Somehow their bodies wasn't effected with Hikari right in front of them they thought the worse was yet to come. But her smoothing voice took them by surprise.

"Don't be frighten it is time to face your nightmare once againg to prove your worth to the jewel since he has that half...I can only hope you can defeat him again..." Her blonde bangs covered her tear-filled eyes while Inu just watched hoping she wasn't talking about Moon Light anyone but him.

"You mean..." Inu hated that name.

She nodded, "Yes, him."

"But...the jewel! We don't know nothing about it!" Yoko just made a very good point.

"I know...The Youkai Jewel was used for this purpose only...to get...revenge..." She lowered her head.

Inu had to admit in her priestess form Hikari had no ears nor a tail but she will always those blue eyes of her's.

"He want's revenge!?" Inu nearly died when she said that.

"Yes," Hikari went on. "This jewel grants that desire because it was created for revenge only...but I know this when someone puts the jewel back together they get one wish...anything they want granted as a reward of putting it back together." A light smile emerged from her lips. "Only then your wish will be granted..."

"But why is called 'Youkai Jewel'? Yoko questioned.

"Because only demons can use it..." Hikari answered.

Inu sighed, "I guess this time the battle going to tougher..."

"Yes, but don't give up...please don't let him win..." Her hands moved upward grasping her chest, a sad smile formed on her lips.

"We won't," Yoko commented firmly toward Hikari making her feel alot better.

"Thank you..." She smiled and then held both hands upward forcing the winds to push them up. "I will take you to the new battlefield, becareful...he has returned with great power caused by the Youkai Jewel with his skin still poisonous...please make it out alive."

Inu smiled, "We will, I promise."

With everything now set it was time to face Moon Light once again. Inu was ready for anything but was she ready for this? Is Hikari prepared for the worse? No one knows only they do...

Inu: Ah, Moon Light is back! But how? Does he want revenge? You'll have to wait till next time to find out but please review! Please!
