The Final Battle: Alliances Across Time
----Chapter Four----
Morning came too soon; it was dawn when Inuyasha decided that it was time to get started. Yusuke had complained loudly while Kuwabara had mumbled some things about Yukina and bunnies and Botan and everyone else just grumbled slightly and got to the task of getting breakfast ready and getting everything else packed. The only ones who seemed fully awake were Inuyasha, Hiei, Kurama and Kirara.
It was late morning and they had already been walking for a couple of hours. Inuyasha, Kagome and Shippo were walking in front. Sango, Botan and Kirara were next followed by Miroku with Yusuke and Kuwabara a step behind him and Hiei and Kurama had taken up the rear. Well, at least until Hiei got fed up with 'babysitting' and had taken to the trees to do some scouting of the area. He would re-appear every few minutes and head off in another direction.
"Man, I'm bored." Yusuke said. He had his hands stuffed in his pockets with his bag and cloak hung over his shoulder and was looking at the scenery around him. They were currently walking through a small meadow that had a lot of pretty spring flowers growing in it.
"Yeah, me too." Kuwabara said from next to him. "I wish Yukina was here. I think she would like the flowers."
"Yeah, I think Keiko would probably like them too. I guess it's a girl thing or something." Yusuke replied in a bored tone.
"Ah yes, the beauty of Mother Nature. Always changing and becoming more beautiful with each day." Miroku said form in front of them.
Kuwabara and Yusuke looked at each other for a moment, "And what is that supposed to mean?" Yusuke asked.
"Some of the most beautiful things in the world are right in front of you." Miroku said eyeing Sango and Botan, which caused both boys to start laughing. Unfortunately that also got the girls attention.
Sango and Botan both looked over their shoulders at Miroku. "Did you say something Miroku?" Sango asked quietly.
"I was just telling the boys that they should enjoy the beauty of Mother Nature more. That's all." He replied.
Sango stopped walking and looked at the boys who were still snickering behind him and then back at him. "And I take it that my rear end had something to do with it too?" She asked, giving him a knowing look.
Miroku reddened a bit. "Lady Sango, what would make you ask that?" He asked as innocently as he possibly could, stopping next to her.
"Oh, I don't know. Maybe the fact that you have two teenage boys laughing?" She said in an even tone.
"Ahh, well it is my job to enlighten the unenlightened. It is not my fault that Kami-sama out did himself when he created such a beautiful creature as you." Miroku said as he reached out to rub Sango's rear.
"Grr.." Sango lifted up her boomerang and whacked Miroku over the head with it, causing him to fall to the ground unconscious.
"Heh heh, sorry Sango." Yusuke said quickly taking a couple steps backward.
"Yeah, what he said." Kuwabara said, also stepping back a little.
Botan was looking at Miroku with a shocked expression. "Oh dear." She murmured to herself.
Inuyasha, Kagome and Shippo, who had stopped as well, just shook their heads at the scene.
"He'll never learn." Kagome and Shippo muttered in unison.
Inuyasha let out a sigh. "I guess we'll stop here for a little while, at least until the lecher wakes up anyway." He said sitting down in the grass and getting comfortable.
"Yusuke, Inuyasha wouldn't it be a good idea to discuss a strategy of some sort?" Kurama said as he walked over to sit by Inuyasha with Yusuke right behind him.
"Feh, whatever. You can discuss all you want, just leave the fighting to me." Inuyasha said irritably.
"I didn't come all this way not to fight." Yusuke said giving Inuyasha a flat look.
"How about you let me handle the fighting." Hiei said as he re-appeared.
"Hey, I want to fight too." Kuwabara said getting comfortable in the grass next to Yusuke.
"Well, maybe we should start with finding out what kind of weapons everyone uses." Sango said. "You've all seen Inuyasha's sword, Kagome uses the bow and arrows, I have Hiraikotsu and Miroku has his holy powers and his wind tunnel." She said indicating everyone as she spoke.
"I have my fox magic and Kirara pounces on the enemy." Shippo chirped as he demonstrated by pouncing on Kirara, who let out a surprised squeak and growled playfully at the hyper kit.
"Well, we use spirit energy. Hiei uses a sword mostly but he also has dragon of the darkness flame and the mortal flame which he uses as well his spirit energy." Yusuke said indicating Hiei who had gone over to take a look at the unconscious monk. "I have my spirit gun and shot gun."
"I have my spirit sword." Kuwabara said enthusiastically.
"And I use my spirit energy to manipulate plants." Kurama said.
"Plants?!" Inuyasha said surprised. "I thought Kitsune's used fox fire and illusions."
"Spirit Fox's are a bit different from regular Kitsune's." Kurama said.
"Great, so you send ravenous cabbages after people." Inuyasha muttered.
Kurama shook his head, laughing slightly. "Sorry, no cabbages. I do have my death tree, and my rose whip and a few other items with me though."
"Could someone please explain what spirit energy is exactly." Kagome asked looking around the group.
"Well, its similar to your miko powers. The major difference is that spirit energy isn't holly powers, so they can't purify anything." Botan said indicating the boys. "Spirit energy is also used primarily as a weapon, while miko and holly powers and be used for healing and as a weapon."
"That and using spirit energy uses up a lot of our physical strength and energy." Kurama said.
"Alright, I guess the next thing we would need to discuss is how we fight." Yusuke said after a brief pause in the conversation. "Well, we usually fight individually. We haven't had many chances to fight as a group."
"We're the opposite I guess. Most of our battles are fought as a group, though we do fight individually quite often too." Sango replied.
"Especially when Naraku sends his hordes of demons after us." Kagome said.
"H-hordes of demons?" Kuwabara asked nervously.
"Yeah, hordes. Usually it a couple of hundred demons being lead by one of his incarnations." Inuyasha said in a slightly bored tone.
"Great." Yusuke said sarcastically. "Just what we need. To have to fight hundreds of demons at once."
Everyone looked over as they heard Miroku moan and start to get up, holding his head.
"Time to get going again." Inuyasha said standing up. Everyone else got up as well some stretching their tired muscles.
After another couple of minutes they headed out again with Inuyasha and Kagome in front once again. Shippo was sitting on Miroku's shoulder talking to him while Sango was keeping a close eye on him.
'Well, I guess this case will at least be entertaining.' Yusuke thought to himself as he fell into step with Kuwabara and Kurama and watched Hiei take to the trees again.
