"Why are we doing this? asked Inuyasha really childishly "We could be looking for Naraku now."

"It doesn't hurt to help people you know, besides it could have something to do with the wind being stilled" replied Kagome stopping any more protests from the hanyou. They were heading towards a Wind Goddess's shrine to investigate what was wrong with her

While on his way to give the Goddess an offering a villager had apparently heard a loud scream coming out of the shrine. When he had got there the Goddess was nowhere to be seen. This had happened a week or so ago, and now the villagers wanted the Inu taichii to find out where she was.

Miroku was in the lead, quite eager to meet the beautiful Goddess. "Jhaki," he warned, in a hushed tone that surprised al those around him "It seems the Goddess was of the youkai breed." stated the houshi.

"Youkai Goddess?" said Kagome mystified.

"Yes, youkai gods are the same as normal ones, except that they oversee people and youkai alike; they aren't evil, but they have youki mixed with their pure energy. Though not enough to balance the pure energy"

"Balanced? What happens if it's balanced?" questioned Shippo

"I suspect that the Gods we see aren't the real creator of the worlds... they are more like overseers. But the one who did create the worlds have ultimate power and his jhaki and purity is fully balanced, that is the good and evil in him. The being exists but we cannot see him because it is said that if the positive purity is mixed with the negative jhaki... then it equals to a void, that is absolutely nothing," pausing Miroku silently laughed at the confused faces of Inuyasha and Shippo. Though Kagome looked like she was thinking very hard about something."

"Yeah... positive plus negative is equal to zero... I GOT IT!" she screamed in delight. At that everyone looked confused, "Never mind, its maths" she said dismissing their odd stares.

As they entered the shrine the Inu taichii found a very empty room save for a ritual area, where five melted candles rested on the five points of a star drawn on the floor. Right in the middle of the star there was a pile of clothes and a book that seemed to glow with holy energy.

Miroku went forward and picked up the book, after turning leafing through some pages he started to look troubled then he stated "This is the seventh book of the gods... it is a complete ritual to strip a god of its powers and then kill him."

"What!" exclaimed the rest in shock.

"This can only be done by a god," he continued, "Though I don't see why any god would do such a thing to another," As Miroku skimmed through the book he got more and more subdued. "This..." he began uneasily "tells how a god can kill himself." At that everyone took in a sharp breath as they realized what might have happened. Kagome looked over at the pile of clothes and understood whose it was. She picked them up and ran her hand through the beautiful blue and yellow patterns adorning them.

"Look" said Shippo pointing at the spot where the clothes were seconds before. There, lying on the floor, was a translucent blue cup. It wouldn't have been strange at all if not for the immense jhaki that came out of its contents.

"The Celestial Draught" muttered Miroku surprised. "Something so dangerous to a god, right inside a goddess's residence."

Kagura was getting more and more excited at the thought of killing Naraku. If only she would concentrate a bit more no one could touch her with the defense she had. Using a Godly weapons her attacks would be amazing too. But she still needed assistance; someone had to make sure her heart was safe. The only person she could think of was, Sesshoumaru. Now thinking of Sesshoumaru she remembered the fact that he had given her a present earlier. Looking down she wondered how on earth he had gotten the pattern of the kimono to be the same as her favorite one.

He wasn't far as he had camped near the end of The Goddess's lake. Sitting against a tree the dog demon watching the little girl pick wild flowers that grew all along the lake, his expression calm as ever, Kagura wondered what he was thinking.

Mercy, a trait that Sesshoumaru seemed to have acquired due to that girl. If not for her Kagura would still have been floating in that stream with a hole in her chest which would have refused to close because of the water running through it. Speaking of holes in the chests "Sesshoumaru you bastard, you tried to kill me" shouted the sorceress while drifting down on her feather.

"Isn't killing ones purpose, when one fights?" replied the Inu youkai calmly. He had shifted his gaze onto the wind user as soon as she had came into view. The little girl, though a bit afraid, didn't cower since Kagura's last encounter with her had been quite peaceful. Rin smiled her toothy grin at Kagura and returned to her flowers.

"You left me there to die!" Kagura shouted back. At that Sesshoumaru raised his eyebrow audaciously, "You expect me to save the likes of you?"

"Bastard!" countered the wind sorceress, somehow feeling too many emotions running through her at the same time.

"Jaken-sama come I want to pick those flowers over there" said Rin enthusiastically pointing to a hill quite far away. Jaken hesitated, wishing to be by his master, though a slight nod from him sent the toad scurrying to help the little girl.

This little distraction helped Kagura calm herself, "I was wondering, why would anyone like you bother to give me this?" she said holding up a part of her kimono.

"I found it, you needed it" he stated simply

Kagura just gaped at him, then scowled, "Since when do you care for anyone's needs?"

"I grow tired of your questions, do you have anything important to say?"

Kagura knew he would avoid this question, but that didn't help soften her mood, she could feel the tingling at the back of her head that was the instinct that was recently always itching to take over, "You tell me something..." she said pointing her index finger at him roughly "You don't give a shit about anyone, you don't help anyone. Then why the fuck do you give a shit about me?" Sesshoumaru just continued to look passively down at her making her feel furious. "Give me a straight answer dammit"

"Do you rather I take back that kimono?"

"Take back? Oh so you can have me strutting around naked huh? You FCKING PERVERT"

"I am not a pervert, that is exactly why I gave you the kimono...are you done with your questions yet?" Kagura just stared... completely at a loss of what more to accuse him of, she tapped her new fan on her chin then said, "Thanx for at least saving me from the fish youkai" she said and flew away.
