Yay! I'm back! Lol I'll be updating a lot since it's spring vacation…hooray!
The old disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or Pokemon…blah blah blah. I'll cut right to the chase and go on with the story.

Chapter 3
~*Naraku's castle*~
"What could it mean?" Naraku asked no one in particular. He paced around and around on the wooden floor.
"You're going to pace a hole around yourself at that rate," said Kagura, amusing herself by playing with puffs of air.
"SILENCE, you impudent wind witch! Remember, I always hold your life in my hands." Naraku glared at her. "I'd like to see you have any idea of why that silver ball has the sort of power the Shikon no Tama does."
Kagura fell silent.
"We must get that ball from her…if it really does hold the same aura as the Shikon, it must also have the ability to grant wishes."
"What do you want me to do?"
"What else, fool?! Get that ball!" Naraku slapped her. She flinched. "All right, all right! I'm going!" With that, Kagura headed out.
~*Kaede's village*~
The old woman looked up from her cooking as Kagome and Kami entered through the bamboo door. "Kagome," she said with a smile. "Welcome. Who is this?"
"Kami. We found her out in the woods, or rather, Kirara did," replied Kagome.
Kaede stood up and bowed. "It's a pleasure."
Kami bowed back.
"Lady Kaede, we were hoping you could tell us about where Kami came from and how she got here," said Kagome.
"All right. I shall do my best. Sit, children." Kaede knelt down on the wooden floor and they joined her. "Before I answer Kagome's question, I need you to be honest with me. What is that thing around your neck?" Kaede asked Kami, nodding towards the silver Pokeball.
"I-I it's…" Kami stammered. But then, the words of Mother entered her head. *Always trust your gut feeling.* Well, she'd better trust something here where she didn't know anyone or anything… "It's a Pokeball that can't be opened, or so Mother told me, unless the Pokemon inside chooses to, for good or for evil."
"I see…and what is a Pokeball?"
"A device used to keep the captured Pokemon in. I'll fill you in on Pokemon later. Anyway, Mother said the Pokemon inside is a wish granter that can make all your dreams come true."
"May I touch it?" asked Kaede. Kami nodded. Kaede gently ran her withered fingers over it. "It's aura is remarkably similar to that of the Shikon no Tama."
"Then how come I couldn't sense it?" asked Kagome.
"Possibly because you can only sense it if you touch it. Did you touch it before?"
"No."
"Then that's why." Kaede gave Kami a grave look. "If the Pokemon indeed has the power to grant wishes, then it's very dangerous. All the demons will covet it as much as the Shikon no Tama. And if Naraku finds out…"
"Knowing him, he probably already has," said Kagome, looking worried. "Kami, it's going to be too dangerous for you to travel alone. Want to come along with us?"
"Okay," said Kami. She didn't think she'd have stayed here in the village anyway.
Just then, shouts and screams could be heard from the outskirts of the village, proceeded by a huge gust of wind. Shippo came barreling into the hut on all fours, whimpering for Kagome, who scooped him up in her arms and gave him a hug. "What's going on?" cried Kami. She and Kagome ran out of the cottage with Shippo perched on Kagome's shoulder.
Standing on the top of a low hill, with winds swirling all around her and villagers falling in bloody heaps right and left, was Kagura and her demon fan.
