Soul Elements

I don't own Inu Yasha. Tip your hats to Rumiko Takahashi. I created the storyline. You may not take this story. You may suggest others to read. Tell them to go to http://www.fanfiction.net/~monkeysummoner

Please note this is also based on Godai, which is in a Japanese religion. I thank an unknown user for reminding me of the game it resembles lightly, Golden Sun.

Chapter 3

"Brotherly Love"

"We should set up camp in the clearing up ahead. It has been a long walk since we started."

"Sounds like a good plan to me, Miroku."

The entire group set up their beds. Kagome pulled out her sleeping bag and tent. All of the members stared at her a she sat up the items from the future.

"Good night everyone." It was easy to tell Kagome was tired.

"Good night." Everyone replied with the same expression.

Everyone slept for about five hours. It was after that the problems began to occur. There was an occasional rustle and a fire spontaneously started in the fire ring they had set up. Kagome woke up with one of the rustles.

Kagome went up to Inu Yasha and asked, "did you hear that?"

"What? Um, no. Wait, I smell something, it's, it's, it's, Sesshomaru. Come out Sesshomaru. We know you are there."

"Your senses are growing stronger, my younger brother Inu Yasha."

"Yes, they are. So what do you want?"

"I want the Cosmos Rod. Give them to me or I will be forced to destroy you."

"Yeah, sure, whatever you say. You remember last time you that tried to face me, remind me who won?"

"I'll get you!"

A fierce battle began between Inu Yasha and Sesshomaru. Neither hit each other for a very long time. That ended as Tetsuaiga unleashed its full power.

Meanwhile, Kagome was attacking Jaken.

"You think you can take me you mere mortal? I must be super strong compared to you."

"Come on, Cosmos Rod, work your magic."

"Burn Mortal!"

"Ha! You missed! Now, Cosmos Cognitive Disequilibria ." The Rod shot a blast of energy at Jaken and made him unconscious. It was then easy to seize the staff from him.

"Cosmos Soul Suction!" Kagome's next attack was directed at Sesshomaru. It hit him and began sucking life force from him, making Sesshomaru less powerful and Kagome more powerful. Then, Miroku helped by using his wind tunnel, making Sesshomaru use more power to stop from being sucked up.

"You wretched humans!" Sesshomaru transformed into his true demon state when he said this.

Kagome and Miroku ran, as they knew their powers of suction could not help them now. While they were running they heard a clear yelp from Inu Yasha.

"Kagome, Miroku, Shippou, run. Sesshomaru is coming!" Inu Yasha must have fainted as he faded after he said 'Sesshomaru'.

Sesshomaru chased Kagome, Miroku, and Shippou to a nearby cave. Here they were sheltered, at least they thought.

Nobody spoke, as they were so frightened. It the back of the cave the group saw two gleaming, pure white eye s that seemed larger than your average eyes. All of a sudden a cage like object fell from the ceiling.

"Ha! I got you." It was Jaken, Sesshomaru's loyal servant. "Lord Sesshomaru, we got them!"

"Shut it Jaken. We still need that Cosmos Rod. Sesshomaru grabbed the Rod from Kagome. As the Rod began to glow, it electrocuted Sesshomaru.

"Ouch! That wretched device. I will control it!" Sesshomaru struggled to grasp the all-powerful Cosmos Rod.

The Rod then began to vibrate even more strongly. Out of the marble tip popped a Genie. This Genie had pearly white skin, similar to the color of the rod, and long silvery hair.

"Thank you for releasing me" said the pale beauty while trying to undo knots in her fine, moonlight-like silvery hair. "I just could not stand all the putrid foul energy trying to grasp me."

Sesshomaru was petrified, most likely because of the beauty of the life form standing in front of him.

"Hey!" Yelled Jaken. "I am still a force to be reckoned with. I doubt you could take me on."

With a swift slip of her pale, semi-transparent hand, Jaken was knocked out.

"So what's your name, thing from the rod?" Inu Yasha had stormed into the cave just as the ghost-like thing popped out of Cosmos rod.

"I am Shara, genie and keeper of the void. I am guessing you are Inu Yasha. Kagome's mind is cluttered with you. Kagome and I link minds when the Cosmos rod is used."

"Gee whiz, It's not like you're the super being we're chasing after. If you would just be on your way we could be on ours."

"I doubt it. It appears Sesshomaru is awaking."

"Too much power in one body. Craziness I tell you." Sesshomaru says as he wakes.

"So you are the one who attempted to steal the rod. I shall destroy you if you do not choose to leave."

"I'll fight you. Now that you are out of your little shield you are no match for me."

The gruesome battle began. Shara appeared to have a slight advantage. From the start she used her powers of the void to gather the clouds in the sky. Sesshomaru then gave one good swipe of the Toukijin and banished the swirl of clouds.

The mini-war that started seemed to last hours, although it was only several minutes in length. Shara won by sucking the chi out of the formidable youkai foe.

"That was too easy," said Shara with a sigh. "So, I guess I should tell you more about the legendary elements of earth, fire, wind, water and void. I can tell you about the void."

"The void part of the elemental wheel is the least known and strangest. Legend has it the void is where everything cam from and is now empty. Those who have wind tunnels, like Miroku, hold the path to the void. Eventually, everything will return to the void. Unfortunately, the void is absorbing the dimensions as the seams are cracking because of elemental disequilibria. If we do not restore balance life as we know will be destroyed."

"Go ahead and put all that pressure on us," said Miroku.

"We can handle it Miroku; we resembled the Shikon jewel." Shippou said this with glee.

"Fine Shippou. We can do it."

"Just make sure you do not attempt to face Apaco until you..."

Shara faded away before finish her sentence. Left behind was a jewel about the same size as the jewel of four souls. Kagome tapped the jewel and it was sucked into the Cosmos rod.

As the crew ventured on after camping, all moaned. Where will they be led to next?
