Chapter 3: The End and Children
"Hikari!" roared Sesshomaru with rage.
He called upon his ugly flying servant to take him to her. He rode past the forest of silver. He found his mate fighting against Naraku. Kuro and Shiro rode on her shoulders.
When Hikari cried out from a strike, Sesshomaru's wrath rose. His claws dripped with poison and his eyes were red. No matter how much Naraku dodged, he would have claws in him. Sadly when 'he' died, it was a decoy.
Sesshomaru gathered the shard and goddess. He licked her injuries completing 1/3 of the bond. He bit her neck on instinct.
A black and white glow from Kuro and Shiro changed them into men. Kuro had a black tail, ears, and hair. His eyes were dark while his skin was pale. Shiro was the opposite.
"I am Kuro and ," started the taller one while the short one finished, "I am Shiro."
Together they said, "We are Hikari's generals."
They led Lord Taisho to the center of Light Center. There her blood droplet fell on a covered light seed. Suddenly, a sprout appeared then shot towards the sky. A small house could barely be seen in the light tree. The unconscious woman was placed in the house's center in a beam.
Kuro and Shiro already had their orders. They would lead the Central Army. They would show the other ladies and children to the house. Kuro made the plans of attack while Shiro followed the plans. Avary became the army's messenger and send news on how Hikari was doing. Wa would protect Hikari, children, and ladies. The women and children of the Central Lands were staying on the palace grounds.
For six days, the army trained with Shiro while Kuro made the weapons. Yumi and five servants protected and cleansed the dark and light seeds. For five days, the light beam healed Hikari. On the sixth day, Wa carried her to the shrine to greet everyone. While she was healing, Sesshomaru strengthened the walls, polished and sharpened the swords.
She gave encouragement to the soldiers and looked over Kuro's plans. She also showed the other lords the plans. The lords already knew her generals.
That night, before the war started, Sesshomaru pulled Hikari aside. He seduced her into marking him. Then 2/3 of the bond was done. The last 1/3 would be done after the war, mating.
Hikari was not allowed to join the fights, stayed in the shrine with four men, and shrine maidens.
After a head wound, Sesshomaru came back, he was fighting beside his men. At that time an idea struck Hikari.
"Bring your original masters or mistresses here," she rushed them out.
Taki became a mist to get to the second generation water goddess. Hana dissolved into dirt to find her mistress, the earth goddess. Honoo as a puff of smoke went to the fire god. Ai just disappeared, she went to the love goddess. Shina vanished to go to the death god.
The goddesses were best friends with Hikari. She was treated like a sister by the gods. They brought their armies to unite with the lords' armies. They received a warm welcome and each had two generals and a messenger.
The funny thing is Ranma fell for the love goddess, Cori. She came from his land, but he had never met her. She had gold clothes, eyes, and hair.
Honoo's master had red everything, but he loved his opposite. The water goddess, Tana had blue on and blue characteristics. She flirted with Hino, the fire god.
Hana's mistress had green robes, eyes, and hair; she was Chi. Shina came back with Shino, god of death. He had purple as a basic color.
The gods went with the lords while the goddesses stayed with the ladies. Together, an energy shield was formed to protect those inside.
A war raged on, but Naraku's plan was unclear. Sesshomaru had already gone back to battle. A rain shower washed away the blood every week, thanks to Tana. Hino burned the demons' bodies every two weeks.
The earth shook with its mistress' cry, "No Hikari!!!!"
"Hahahahah, it seems I win," guess who. [AN: If you guessed Naraku the baboon/ scumbag, you are right. Hey Johnny give them a prize.]
Sesshomaru flew over everyone's heads to get to her. Everybody parted for him as he landed. What he saw made him fall to his knees and brought tears to his eyes. At Naraku's feet lay his lady paralyzed. Her eyes were wide in surprise and her mouth was open in a silent scream. Her hair was loose and splayed around her; she was limp. No war or warning could prepare him for her demise.
He let out a roar, that made all cover their ears. In the end, six pissed men teamed against the devil's reincarnate, Naraku. His legs became ashes curtsey to a dragon and fire god. His body became non- existent thanks to Shino. His head was beyond recognition due to Sesshomaru. The fox and wolf lords pounds his arms into powder.
Kuro and Shiro held Hikari close and called out, "ETERNAL LIGHT FORCE!!!!!"
The tree that helped heal the goddess hummed with power. A branch picked her up then carried her to the center. The light tree shone with a light, that could be seen miles away. Sesshomaru tried to follow, but the tree grew as dense as diamonds. The tree grew around its planter rapidly. Hikari was in the center of the trunk.
The stars released the possessed. The sun killed the enemy, that followed Naraku willingly. The moon healed the possessed and allies. It was thanks to Hikari, they won. Sadly, after many attempts to free her, all went home.
With the bond unfinished, Sesshomaru didn't know if she was alive. He went home to drown his sorrows. Along the way, he killed all that blocked his path. That path became known as the Path of Sorrows.
For ten years, Sesshomaru refused to come out. He would not look at the sun, moon, or stars. Any kind of light was forbidden near him. Those who said her name while in his presence were executed. Sadly, Light Center was abandoned. The shrine and palace were surrounded by a dark forest. The light tree was still pure and in the center. It was twice as tall as the dark trees. Kuro and Shiro became cat again and were allowed to sleep in the branches. Wa protected the tree while Hikari's demon followers watched the forest.
The tree became dark when Hikari was fully healed. A lightning bolt struck the tree, splitting it in half. Wa stopped Hikari from falling sixty feet. Kuro and Shiro put her in the shrine to sleep for ten weeks. Kuro and Shiro looked for the Cosmic Ring with no luck.
Hikari woke up in a daze and sore even after the healing process. She immediately found the ring and put it back on.
Meanwhile, Sesshomaru felt odd when she woke up, but he was 6,000 miles away.
He met Kuro, Shiro, and Wa along with Hikari half way. He stared stunned that his sweet Hikari was indeed alive. Sesshomaru spun her in circles until they were both dizzy. In the fear of her disappearing, he held her hand at they lied side by side. When he gaine dhis breath, he hovered over her. He kissed each inch of her face twice. His hands mapped out her body. They located all the sensitive points possible.
"Leave," snarled Sesshomaru to his goddess; servants.
They looked to their mistress for her approval. She nodded. They scurried off not wanting to get on their soon to be master's nerves.
That night, Sesshomaru took them to a whole new plane of existence. He, also, completed their bond.
For the next three years, Hikari lived with Sesshomaru. He had a palace complete with a shrine built during that time. It was on the western and central border. He went with her to replace the dark seeds.
Kagome stayed in Feudal Japan to become a priestess under Hikari. She yielded and trained with the Jewel of Four Souls. She married/ mated with Inuyasha after two years.
Mirouko and Sango still traveled, but as a couple. He helped lessen her pain over her brother and family. His wind tunnel was sealed and the curse was lifted.
The five immortal maidens became priestesses after sixty years.
Kikyou and Midoriko's souls were put to rest. Her sister, finally, died of old age.
Aiko, the love goddess was Ranma's mate and had a female pup. The next love immortal was always female and already born. After another 1,000 years, a male heir was born.
Tana and Hino wed and joined shrines. Shino and Chi were too shy to admit their feelings.
Shippou met back up with Rin and they dated.
Sesshomaru smelled something different about his beloved when she was a month along. She had a glow to her skin and her eyes hid a secret.
"Tell me, my sweet goddess, what are you hiding?" coaxed the father to be.
"Nothing much, I just happen to be pregnant with twins."
THUD, the 'Ice' Prince fainted in shock. THUMP, that was Jaken at seeing his master on the floor.
In a different shrine, THUD was heard. Tana was also pregnant with twins and Hino fainted.
Tana and Hikari were due at the same time.
Crystal and Wulong were Hikari and Sesshomaru's twins. Hiiro and Lyoko were born to Tana and Hino.
"That was the story of my parents and your great grandparents," said Crystal Rose-Lynn.
"You married Grandpa Kenji of the South and Dad is lord of the east."
"Correct, little one. We each have a story to tell in the end, right love," said Kenji.
