Chapter 5: Back Through Time
Everyone decided to take different routes. Kagome, Inuyasha, Frog, and Koga (Who showed up conveniently as he always does) went after The Son of Lavos in the Epoch. Magus went to stop Sesshomaru. Robo, Sango, Shippo, and Miroku decided to stay in Kaede's Village and protect it.
Kagome, Koga, and Inuyasha where very freaked out the first time that they went through the time stream. The Epoch landed where Lavos was as Robo had set it to do. The Epoch landed near a small village that nobody recognized. Kagome looked around there where three huts and almost nobody around. Suddenly a monk walked out, he had black hair and wore a black robe with a purple sash, his eyes where blue, and he wore a string of rosary beads around his right hand. "Miroku?" Kagome asked. "No I am Mirako, Miroku's father. Do I know you?" Mirako asked. "Umm no. No you don't." Kagome quickly said. "You dress strangely. I have never seen robes like yours." Mirako said curiously. "I'm from uhh... Far away." Kagome said and smiled. "I see." Mirako said rubbing his chin, Kagome turned towards Frog, Koga, and Inuyasha and beckoned them forward, and as she did so, she felt the feeling of a hand on her butt. "Jerk!" Kagome said and spun around and laid a well-placed kick upside Mirako's head. The judo classes she had been taking in her spare time where really helping. Mirako rubbed the large red mark on the side of his face. "Like father like son." Kagome mumbled.
That night the group stayed in the village. Kagome met Miroku (As a child) and they had a nice dinner. Later that night demons invaded the village and Mirako went out to destroy them, Kagome grabbed her bow and ran out followed by Inuyasha with the Tetsusaiga, Koga, and Frog with the Masamune. Mirako told everyone to stay back as he opened up his right hand and began to draw in the demons. A demon with sicle claws badly cut the sides of Mirako's hand and he screamed in pain, Mirako looked at the growing hole in his hand and said, "Keep Miroku away! Tell him that it is his responsibility to stop Naraku!" "No!" Miroku screamed. An old man in prayer beads grabbed Miroku and said, "No, if you go then you too will be sucked into your father's wind tunnel!" Suddenly a time portal opened and The Son of Lavos stepped out. Somehow, Kagome, Koga, Frog, and Inuyasha had beaten Lavos to this time. Lavos killed the old man and grabbed Miroku by the wrist. "Unhand him foul beast!" Frog hissed and charged at Lavos with the Masamune. Tentacles appeared from Lavos' hand and caught Frog, Inuyasha cut some of the tentacles before he too was caught, followed by Kagome, and Koga. Lavos picked up Miroku and threw him toward the crater that Mirako was forming with his wind tunnel. "No!" Frog and Kagome shouted at the same time as Miroku was drawn into the wind tunnel and disappeared forever. Lavos disappeared back through the time stream. "Dammit!" Inuyasha said and pounded the ground with his fist. "We lost him... No more Miroku... He will probably go after Sango next, let's go." Kagome said. The four got in the Epoch and followed the Son of Lavos.
Meanwhile: Back with Magus. Magus flew through the forests, his mind filled with rage. He had his scythe in his right hand; he swore that that dog demon would get what was coming to him. Magus' cape flapped behind him as he quickly hovered inches above the ground dodging trees, his red eyes seemed to burn a hole in whatever object they gazed upon. He would find Sesshomaru... And he would kill him!
Across the forest, Sesshomaru was doing something similar. Sesshomaru followed Magus' smell, charging through the trees. He cared nothing about Jaken; he was a troll, near useless, but Rin... Not that he cared, but no one steals from the mighty Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru's blue hair flapped behind him and his long boa did the same. Sesshomaru's only arm resting on the hand of the Toukijin. Sesshomaru's eyes glowed red as they always did when he was angered. Sesshomaru did a running leap up past the treetops going straight down to where the scent ended.
Magus stopped suddenly; there was a whistling sound around him. Magus planted his feet on the ground and his royal blue cape, as well as his light blue hair fell back behind him. Magus' red eyes looked towards the sky, something was coming. Magus jumped out of the way, as a bolt of blue and white fired through the treetops and landed where he had stood only seconds ago. Magus slid across the ground and got up on one knee. Sesshomaru pointed the Toukijin and several blades of light flew at Magus, Magus dodged the blades and cast dark mist at Sesshomaru. The black mist came to Sesshomaru, and Sesshomaru was almost tempted to scream as the dark mist ate away at his flesh, Sesshomaru jumped away, but the mist followed him, finally the Tenseiga began to throb and his injuries where healed, but his armor, as well as his shirt where completely dissolved from his body, leaving only small scraps of white fabric here and there. Sesshomaru created a whip of pure energy and began to strike at Magus, Magus shrugged at the sight thinking of his "Training" with Ozzie, Flea, and Slash. Every time Magus slacked a whip would hit him, and his back and chest had scars covering them to prove it. Magus dodged out of the way and the whip crashed into the ground in front of him. Magus cast Fire2 on Sesshomaru, but the blaze had little affect on him. Sesshomaru managed to catch Magus in mid air and brought him towards him, Sesshomaru placed his clawed hand on Magus' face and it began to glow green. Magus screamed as the flesh on his head began to decay and melt, his vision was lost to the poison from Sesshomaru, Magus managed to find his scythe and lodge it in Sesshomaru's chest. Sesshomaru pulled the long sicle blade from his torso and flung it off into the trees. Sesshomaru ripped Magus' plate mail armor and lifted Magus up by the neck. Sesshomaru gazed upon Magus' pale chest covered in scars from whiplashes, there where even more on his back. Magus fought Sesshomaru but his grip was too strong, so Magus did the most childish and probably unsanitary thing ever, he bit him. Yes, Magus the mighty warlock bit a big chunk out of Sesshomaru's hand, and while Sesshomaru grunted in pain, Magus managed to inhale an elixir. Sesshomaru growled, "What kind of creature are you to resort to such a childish action?" Sesshomaru asked. "Your worst nightmare." Magus replied darkly. Magus began to chant and move his hands in strange patterns. "Dark Matter!" Magus said aloud and a white pyramid and a black pyramid appeared in the air. The two pyramids spun in a circle for several moments, then suddenly the two pyramids crashed into each other and a large chain reaction of dark energy blasted Sesshomaru to the ground. Sesshomaru lay on the ground, unable to move, both his swords lay upon the ground, he would never be able to reach either in time. Magus grabbed his scythe and placed it inches from Sesshomaru's neck. "Now, where is Schala?" Magus demanded. "Who?" Sesshomaru questioned tiredly. "Do not toy with me. I will not hesitate to kill you, where is the blue haired woman in the purple dress you kidnapped from me?" Magus demanded again. "I have no idea what you are talking about; you stole a small girl with black hair and a little green toad man from me." Sesshomaru replied. "I have no idea what you speak of." Magus said angrily. "Then why? Naraku!" Sesshomaru said. "Who?" Magus demanded. "Naraku, a powerful demon who can assume any form. He must have tricked us into fighting each other. That must mean that he has Rin and Jaken." Sesshomaru said. "And Schala?" Magus questioned. "Most likely." Sesshomaru replied. "Where does this demon reside?" Magus asked as he pulled his scythe away from Sesshomaru's neck. "His mansion moves from place to place, but I could probably track his smell if you will help me get Rin and Jaken." Sesshomaru replied. "Done." Magus said and placed his armor back on. "Here!" Magus said tossing Sesshomaru a shirt identical to the one that corroded off of him. "I can make objects appear in my hands." Magus said. "What manner of demon are you Magus?" Sesshomaru asked puzzled. "I am not a demon. I am a human, despite my ears and eyes." Magus replied. "Your powers are unlike any human's that I have ever seen, unless of course you have a shard of the sacred Shikon jewel." Sesshomaru said. "No, I've never heard of the jewel you speak of. Now come on, it's getting dark, let's go." Magus said, Sesshomaru nodded and the two flew off towards Naraku's Mansion.
Schala rubbed her head, "Oh... Where am I?" She said fighting back the splitting headache that started in her forehead and stretched down to her neck. Schala's eyes began to adjust to the darkness in the room, and she saw a person... a little girl in the corner on a pile of hay. What had happened? Then everything came back to her, that creature Sesshomaru had kidnapped her. Schala crawled over to girl, ignoring the fact that her legs and arms barely worked she drug herself across the dirty straw covered floor and over to the girl. The girl was probably about seven or eight, she had black hair, and she was wearing a robe with squares on it, what color they where could not be told in the darkness. Schala shook the little girl and she slowly opened her eyes, "Master Sesshomaru?" she said tiredly. "N... No. My name is Schala. Did that horrible creature Sesshomaru kidnap you too?" Schala asked. "No! No... Sesshomaru saved me, he protects me, I was kidnapped by a man named Magus." The girl said. "That's impossible; my brother would never kidnap anyone, even if he could get revenge on Sesshomaru by it." Schala said. "No, not Sesshomaru or Magus... Naraku." A third voice said, it sounded rather weak, but very high pitched and annoying. Schala conjured up a small fire spell, and there in the corner was a little green man dressed in brown with a funny looking hat on. "Who are you?" Schala asked. "Jaken!" the girl said rather happy. "Hello Rin." Jaken said. "There is a demon named Naraku that can assume any form, he disguised himself as both Magus and Lord Sesshomaru to get them to kill each other. I overheard all of this a while ago. Lord Sesshomaru is smart, and I am certain that Magus is too. So they will undoubtedly figure it out and come after Naraku and save us." Jaken said. "Hmm. So I suppose we wait." Schala said, the ball of flame hovering above her hand extinguished and she fell on the floor. "Schala!" Rin said and ran over to her. Schala had several bruises and cuts, from where no one knew. Schala slowly pulled herself onto her knees, "I'm okay Rin. Just a little hurt and dizzy." Schala said. Jaken replied, "They drugged, beat, and... " Schala fell to the ground in pain holding her abdomen and screaming in sheer pain. "...raped you." Jaken finished his sentence. Schala's eyes widened in fear and she began to cry holding on to her still pained abdomen. "Janus, get here quickly... kill them all." Schala said and passed out of pain and exhaustion.
The epoch flew through the time stream following the trail of Lavos. The small ship reached the end of the long twisting tunnel and flew out. It was Naraku's Mansion, and it was the same year. But it was night. "What the?" Kagome asked to no one in particular. A group of demon exterminators appeared and began to talk to the lord of the manner who was an old man, not Naraku. Kagome suddenly recognized two of the demon hunters. "Sango! Kohaku!" Kagome said surprised, Inuyasha and Koga where a little surprised as well. Suddenly a giant spider demon dropped from the skies, but it was no match for the group of demon hunters. After the short battle, the demon hunters began to take parts from the spider demon, Kagome watched as a single strand of thread flew from the old man's mouth and hit Kohaku, Kohaku threw his Kusari Kama and took the heads off all the demon hunters except Sango and himself. Kohaku used his weapon on Sango and missed, Sango saw the strand leading to the old man and charged, the old man ordered the soldiers to kill them, Sango took several arrows and the Kusari Kama in the back before she fell to the ground, followed by Kohaku. Suddenly a time portal opened and out stepped Lavos, Lavos picked up the barely alive Sango by the neck. At that point Kagome, Koga, Frog, and Inuyasha where out in force. Inuyasha sliced off the old man's (Who was actually a spider demon) head. Koga created a whirlwind around Lavos, a sort of skewer appeared on Lavos' arm, he shoved it through Sango's bottom jaw, and it came out through her head. Kagome shot an arrow out of pure rage, but Lavos simply threw Sango to the ground and entered the time stream again. Kagome cradled Sango's lifeless body in her arms; Koga, Inuyasha, and Frog gave the body a proper burial and went back in the Epoch to continue the journey.
The Epoch came out of the time stream a year earlier than the group had been in. Inuyasha recognized the area, a man with a large spear and flaming wheels flew at... Inuyasha, an earlier version anyway. The angry creature charged at Inuyasha and harpooned the half demon with his pike. Kagome looked over to see herself and Shippo, "Oh no! He's going to kill Shippo!" Kagome screamed. The group landed and ran towards the battle. The dead body of Manten already lying on the ground with a large bite taken from the head. "This is where Hiten removed the jewel shard." Kagome said pointing to the bite. "Barbarians." Frog said angrily. Kagome watched as she fired an arrow from Shippo in the form of a bow. One of the wheels on Manten's feet was destroyed; Hiten released a jolt of electricity from his mouth at Kagome and Shippo. Kagome had remembered how Shippo had teleported her away using his fox magic. Suddenly Lavos appeared, grabbed Kagome and Shippo, and threw them towards the blast. Kagome and Shippo where struck head on. "No!" both Inuyashas screamed at once and proceeded to wail on Hiten, there was no Hiten left. "I don't feel so well." Kagome said. Kagome leaned over and threw up on the ground, she began to glow green and the pain was excruciating. Kagome screamed in pain and Inuyasha tried to comfort her, though he knew what was going to happen. Kagome suddenly disappeared in a large green explosion, leaving Inuyasha with empty arms. "Noooooooooo!!!!!" Inuyasha howled at the top of his lungs, in unison with the other Inuyasha upon the discovery that his Kagome was dead as well. "Come on dog turd, one of us is next. We have to stop Lavos." Koga said. Inuyasha nodded and stood up, both Koga and Inuyasha climbed into the Epoch and Frog flew the time egg off after Lavos.
Everyone decided to take different routes. Kagome, Inuyasha, Frog, and Koga (Who showed up conveniently as he always does) went after The Son of Lavos in the Epoch. Magus went to stop Sesshomaru. Robo, Sango, Shippo, and Miroku decided to stay in Kaede's Village and protect it.
