Chapter Five Banquets, Baths, Stories and the Legend of the Sho Hun Blade

In a village in the south east region of the south a demon is attacking. "ARRGG," it roared. It was an ogre who has been wreaking havoc for months, but this time he is stronger than before. In his right arm is a shikon jewel shard which made his attacks more powerful.

"Aaaa run, run for your lives," a villager scream. So far it has destroyed 1/3 of the village.

At the top of a ledge someone was over looking the village. His long black hair was swaying in the wind. "Kukuku what fools," he said as he jumped off the ledge and lunged himself right at the demon grabbing it by its neck.

"Ar...Arg...Ah," it tried to breath but his opponent didn't let go. Instead he cut of his head in one swipe of his hand, then took out the shikon shard in his right arm, and the ogre turned to dust.

"Thank you oh thank you for saving are village," the village elder said.

"No need kind elder," the figure said.

"Elder I saw what he did he cut the ogres head with a swipe of his hand, this is no human he's a demon," a man from the village said.

"Kukuku," he laughed as he transformed into his demon form, his pupils were red his hair long and as black as night, three lizard like tails sprung out from his back. He had amour surrounding his shoulder, arms and chest and in the middle of his chest was a red eye. He jumped into the air yelling "CLOUD OF DESTRUCTION" as a massive cloud of miasma exploded around the entire area killing everything in its path.

"I thank for giving me this shikon shard farewell." Kaiser and the others landed in Draganustu's castle were they saw Dragoon rounding up demon of all sorts of breeds. "A Lord Draganustu you have arrived, and with guests I see," Dragoon said.

"Yes, you remember Inuyasha and his friends," Draganustu said.

"Of course how could I have forgotten the encounter we had."

"Well they're staying here since the enemy that has crossed the boundaries of my lands is also their sworn enemy."

"Well then welcome to the castle of Draganustu."

"Dragoon tell the cook to make a banquet for us all and get the servants to show where are guests are staying."

"As you wish lord Draganustu," said Dragoon.

"Wow what a big place you got here," Kagome said.

"Yah I could store tons of candy and chocolate in here," Shippo said.

"My Lord the servants are ready to show the guests their rooms."

"Everyone follow me to the main chamber," Draganustu said. They all walked into the vast chamber where in front of them were six servants. Three were women and the other three were men. "Lu, Chung, and Lee show the boys here their rooms," Draganustu said. The three men servants grabbed Inuyasha, Miroku and Shippo to their rooms which where down the right hall way. "Chi, Sora, and Mi show the ladies here to the rooms." The three lady servants directed Kagome and Sango to their rooms which where down the left hall way.

They were all given a tour around the castle so they wouldn't get lost. As the servants showed them to the dinning room what they saw was rows and rows of food. Draganustu was seating in the middle beside him were Dragoon and Kaiser, who were waiting patiently for the guests to arrive. "Well everyone take a seat and lets dig in," Draganustu said. After that was set and done they dug in I mean literally, all that fighting really made them all hungry.

About two hours later everything was gone, they all burped at the same time "BURPPP ah good eats." They all sat there for awhile then Dragoon said that he was going for a walk with Kaiser, so they went off. A servant came in telling them that the baths were ready and that they should go now. "Thank you Chi, now everyone go to your rooms there will be towels ready for you and then meet me in the main chamber," Draganustu said.

They all went to their rooms and got their towels and sleeping garment except for Inuyasha of course. They went back to the main chamber where Draganustu was waiting. "Follow me," he said. They went to the north hall way and stopped at a bid shoji door. Draganustu opened it to reveal a giant indoor hot spring with at least five springs. There was no roof so you could see the night sky.

"Whaaoo this is so beautiful don't you think Sango," Kagome said.

"Yah it is, but there's a problem," Sango said.

"And what might that be," Draganustu said.

"Well where are the dividers so no one can peek on anyone who's changing."

"There was not enough room for dividers and it abuse the beauty of the bath house."

'I like your thinking Draganustu' Miroku thought as a hentai grin came upon his face. "Well then we will just have to turn around then," Draganustu said once they all where in the springs, the girls on the far right and the boys on the far left they started to relax. (Here comes the funny part)

Unknown to the boys, Kagome and Sango were checking them out. Kagome was looking at Inuyasha for at least three minutes and certain thoughts went into her mind, then she looked at Miroku for about five seconds, then she looked at Draganustu and blushed when she saw him looking at her, she turned around. Sango was looking at Miroku for at least five minutes almost drooling when looking at him so she remembered that picture of him so she could use it later in her dreams; she took a quit peek at Inuyasha then at Draganustu who caught her as well. She turned around blushing madly.

"You guys listen the girl have been checking us out for the past while," Draganustu stated.

"Were they now," Miroku said in a devilish way.

"Yah they were, hey Inuyasha see if they're talking about us at the moment," Draganustu said.

Inuyasha couldn't resist he wonder what Kagome thought of him, so he tuned his ears to pick up what they were saying.

"Man did you see Inuyasha man what a body," Kagome said. Inuyasha was red as a tomato.

"Yah he's ok but Miroku's body was so well toned I jut wish he could hold me right now like that," Sango said.

"Did you see Draganustu his body is more toned then them all....

At this point Inuyasha had to put his ears down on his head, he informed of what the girls were saying about them and they all blushed to a deep crimson. Luckily Shippo was asleep the whole time.

After they took their bath Draganustu lead them to his chamber which was probably the largest room in the castle. Shippo asked if he could tell them all a story so he agreed. They sat down by a fire and waited for the story to begin. "The story I about to tell is the story of how my father made my sacred weapon." It all began 500 years ago after the fall of the great demon that terrorized the land; my father was the ruler of theses lands and much more. He held many powers and one that he held which was his most powerful, the ability to see the future." "He knew he had to make four sacred weapons out of four sacred beasts for his four children...." Draganustu was interrupted by Shippo.

"You have brothers and sisters," Shippo asked.

"Yes I do Shippo," Draganustu replied. Somewhere in the southeast loomed a castle with miasma surrounding it. Within the castle Kagura was wondering where her master Naraku went off to. "I can't wait to get out of this hell hole for good, and why did we have to come here that was so important," Kagura said.

"I'll show you why we are here Kagura," Naraku spoke.

Startled she stepped back a few paces. "Don't scare me like that Naraku."

"Follow me Kagura and I'll show you why we came here."

Naraku led Kagura down a hall way and down a set of stairs where they came to a door. Naraku opened to door to reveal a well crafted and long sword. "We came all the way here for this, a sword," Kagura said with annoyance.

"This is no ordinary sword Kagura this is a part of the Sho Hun blade, a sacred blade that can destroy an army of ten thousand demons in a single swipe."

"You said this is just a part of the sword so where is the other," Kagura asked.

"You will know soon enough, know listen and you may learn something Kagura. 550 years ago a terrible demon of immense power threatened the entire land of Japan." "Many demon warriors fought this demon whose name is unknown, but lost their lives do so." "49 years later the new demon lord of the south was willing to destroy this demon once and for all." "He and a great priest of that age teamed up and defeated the beast, but after they defeated the beast a demon took the beasts head and ran of with it." "He was the father of Kijimbo; he brought back to life the head of the beast and made a sword out the two main fangs of the beast." In the end he made the Sho Hun blade, after he created it he caused mass terror throughout the land but the power of the blade was so great it devoured him." "The great priest found he blade and gave it to the lord of the south who entrusted it to a powerful demon he believed could protect the blade, but he also was devoured by its evil power." "So the priest split the sword into two equal halves and sealing them in two mountains where no one would find them."

"So how did you find this half of the sword," Kagura asked.

"In my joineries I stumble upon the mountain which contained the Sho blade, I kept it." "I transformed my self into a prince of a wealthy village and searched through hundreds of scrolls until I found out about the blade." "So you see Kagura this is how I found the sword."

"One last question, how come the sword never devoured you with its power?"

"Because my soul is complete darkness, the sword devours the weak soul and the souls of the good but a soul of darkness it can't destroy." "Once I complete the sword and the shikon jewel my power would be infinite and no one would question my authority, muhahahahaha."
