In the Light of His
Kura Miakoda
"Inuyasha, wait up" exclaimed Kagome some distance behind the group, "Hurry up we don't got all day" replied Inuyasha. Kagome breathed a sigh of exhaustion she had just returned from the future and arrived only to discover the group was already leaving to search for Naraku. It wasn't that far away now, the final battle that is, with the jewel almost complete the fight was soon to come. The jewel again was in Naraku's clutches and the group only contained one of the last three shards remaining. They were not easy to find and wouldn't be, for the group had speculated that perhaps the only reason they hadn't found them yet was because they weren't being used by any form of life.
So far nothing had happen. Kikyo was nowhere to be found, Sesshoumaru just the same and Kouga well he never was an issue. As of late the group visited shrines and places of myth and worship to see if any jewels might be around but no luck whatsoever. It wasn't till Kagome returned this very day that she had suggested that perhaps the jewels might be residing on the islands surrounding Japan or in the water. The group found it could be possible and decided they would be leaving for the closest island.
Kagome had been right and in the process of possessing the jewels Naraku had gotten a hold of one of them. As they returned back to Kaede's village Kouga made a sudden appearance making the same outrageous declares for his love for Kagome but that was not his reason for coming. It seemed Kouga wished to join the group for the final battle with Naraku, of course the usual argument commenced between him and Inuyasha. In the end Kagome with some help from the others got everything back to normal as possible. After much discussing and huffing Kouga would join them in the final battle but at the time being Kouga would not accompany them now but come back in two weeks to the village. Kouga pleased left them be but not without swearing his love to Kagome first.
As the group again began their journey home Shippo had accidentally separated from them chasing a small girl. Well, can you say coincidence or just plain luck but the girl had turned out to be no other than Rin herself. To say the least Sesshoumaru was not far behind either. However the group and Sesshoumaru and Co. did not fight, as you would have probably liked instead Kagome reasoned with the Lord. She was trying to convince the Lord to join their "noble cause" against Naraku and get the jewel out of harms way.
"And why should I help you"
"Well", Kagome thought, "because I'm asking politely"
"Your argument is rather weak, much like you race"
"Look we need help, Naraku is not an easy opponent and is one to easily manipulate others" Kagome said getting quite irritated with the Lords antics.
"He is not my conce-"
"He will be trust me, what won't stop him from coming after you next and with the power of the Shikon Jewel he will become a very formidable opponent". Sesshoumaru was not pleased that the miko had interrupted him but she seemed to make some sense. Raising an eyebrow he questioned, "And you are prepared for this battle, does he not already contain most of the jewel within his grasp"? "Uh, yes he does but with you, Kouga and our group we hope perhaps combined we might be able to over power him". Saying it out loud soon struck Kagome that it sounded impossible and asking for your deathbed.
She shook her head; sighing thought maybe Sesshoumaru would help. "Lord Sesshoumaru, at this time I cannot find anything to offer you that will sway you to join us, other than joining us I ask you if perhaps you might help us prepare for the battle as well, being that you are skilled in such combat". Sesshoumaru was rather marveled at her courage to ask so much of him in a surprising show of manner. It was an interesting offer that perhaps he would consider; the fact that Inuyasha had yet to argue was another amazement. "Inuyasha, what say you of this pact"? Inuyasha only snorted and fumed in a tree saying nothing. Sesshoumaru smirked; this might actually be worth his time. Re-educating his brother would be quite the delight.
Suddenly Kagome gasped, what if she, would he believe? Could she do it? Maybe but then Inuyasha couldn't know. She had to talk to him first; no there was no time to argue with his stubbornness. What to do, what to do?
As soon as she had gasped everyone had turned their attention to the young priestess. They looked on while her face and eyes made it seem as if she was contemplating whether or not to do something. Had she discovered something that they had yet to know and what was it. All of a sudden Kagome stomped her foot and 'hmfd', determination beaming from her eyes she had made a decision.
