INTERMISSION 4:
The space port on the colony of L1 was busy as people gathered their various materials. Out of all the things that where going on one man stood out amongst the crowds he stood tall even in the crowded streets outside the spaceport. Walking he waited for his ride to come and that came in an orange car. The taxi was waiting for him to hop in as he told the driver where to go. The driver smiled as he drove him to his residence and hid the car in the hidden garage. Mark Ellison a.k.a. Naraku stood up as he brushed a hair strand aside and walked in. He was greeted by Kagura and Kohaku as he walked up to them, "How is Tokyo doing?" he said, "Kanna is badly injured and Montemura is dead," Kohaku reported, "I see so the demon got her soul back," Mark said, "No matter the apocalypse is at hand now and every demon on the earth will bow to me." he said and the others cringed back in fear.
Mark resumed his normal form as he walked up to the window and let the fake sun shine on him. The colonies are just one can of food to him and he was going to enjoy the destruction of man. Oh how he hated the human race with a passion! There kindness just makes him sick to his stomach that was the reason for the Shikon jewel all those centuries ago to get rid of his human heart. Taking the jewel out of his shirt he looked at its black surface glowing with malice.
Kaede stood at the grave that marked her grandmother's passing she was buried with honor along side the many other members of her family. The Higurashi's always had a tradition of planting trees and her grandmother's was no different. The only grave that had a very large tree on it was lady Kagome's grave the grave of her most powerful ancestor. Her grave was under the great tree as its leaves flew to the wind. Unlike the other trees this one never had leaves fall to the ground they stayed on the tree. Only very few ever did fall down and it was easily swept up. The shrine was under construction along with the rest of the home that she grew up in. Kaede let a single tear fall the smashed grave marker to her ancestor's grave was what made her this way. When Mart was pinned to the tree she fell to the ground on the grave. It was the spirit of her awakened ancestor that made her shoot that arrow that gave Mart back her soul.
'I am not the only one who wants this to end,' she thought as she turned to see the rest of the staff of the Higurashi Shrine, demons majority of them and the few humans that tolerated them. This was always a place of sanctuary for them and a home. Kaede always remembered what her late mother said about them. "Only some demons come here for shelter and rest for they remember the one who was kind to them. "Lady Kagome," she said as she turned and walked to the broken shrine at the base of the tree. "Lady Kagome you where my greatest ancestor," she said while kneeling, "You had always protected the demons that came here and made this place their home. She turned and saw many of the older demons paying their respects to the lady. "You have always been there for the hanyou Inu-Yasha and I remember what grandmother said about you. And you helped me save Mart who was not born a demon in the first place." She felt something wet on her face and realized that she was crying. "I am the last Lady Kagome of your brother's decedents I was the one who shot the arrow and I don't know what to do now that the demon is gone." She said as she began to cry.
Gentle but warm arms circled themselves around her causing her to look up with alarm only to see a translucent figure sitting in front of her. "Lady Kagome," she whispered as the translucent figure hugged her, "Do not cry Kaede you did the right thing," she said softly to her, "But what about the Shrine?" Kaede said, "You must go back to where it all started to the place of my death," Kagome whispered to her, "There you will seek justice and bring the shadow assassins with you," she said before she faded. Kaede then turned to the demons and now the people who gathered on the temple grounds. They where refugees who had seen the demon fight and came to help. "Do not worry young priestess we will care for your temple." One man said as he began to help some of the demons and staff repair and rebuild the house. Gathering her things Kaede began to walk out of the temple grounds the snow had stopped for once. "Lady Kaede?" Toji said as he flew up to her, "I must go to where it all started Toji to where my ancestor fought her last battle." She said, "Why can't some of us come with you?" the young bat asked, "It is best if you let Kaede go alone Toji," said his father, "I have seen the war for myself though at the time I was a baby. And I can understand when the spirit of the lady wants you to return to such a place." Toji's father then walked up to the girl, "We all will give you our consent just return to us," he said and gave her a hug and she gladly gave it back to him. Toji's mother did the same as well as the other demons that where there. Turning Kaede walked out of the temple to parts unknown.
