The group looked up to see a small shape in the sky. Moments later, Kagura
sat in front of them on her giant feather.
"Naraku has Bushichirou," she said. "Just to let you know. Bushichirou tried to recover our souls, but Naraku had them stored separately. We only managed to get our hands on mine."
"I knew that Naraku had him," InuYasha said. "we could pretty much guess, since Bushichirou hasn't returned, and all his minions are generally nine years old to fifteen."
"Excuse me," Kagura said. "I'm twenty!"
"Are you?" Kagome asked. "You look my age....."
Kagura scowled. "He should be coming around soon. He'll be travelling by horse."
"Horse?" Sesshomaru asked. "but he can't ride."
"Naraku doesn't know that," Kagura said. "Besides that, I don't know much."
With that, Kagura flew off into the sky.
"What now?" Miroku asked.
"I need to get home, I have an exam in two days," Kagome said.
"I say we go fight Naraku here and now!" InuYasha growled.
Sesshomaru looked at his brother. "Not going to happen. I we need to devise a plan."
"You're always about plans!" InuYasha said. "I don't think we need one."
"I agree with Sesshomaru," Miroku said.
"But the kazanaa in Miroku's hand is widening quickly," Sango said. "We need to get this done soon."
"Maybe we should take a three day break for Kagome's sake. Meanwhile, we can think about how we're going to do this. Then we'll go after Naraku," Shippo said. "That way we fit into everybody's plans."
Everybody except InuYasha nodded. "When'd you get so smart?" InuYasha asked.
"I'm eight years old," Shippo said. "And I've gone through a lot more than most kids my age in the decision-making department. Besides, We have half the jewel shards, and Naraku has the last half."
"I think he has a good point," Sesshomaru said. "He has a good patience, too. Unlike somebody here." At that point, his eyes slid to InuYasha.
"I'm plenty patient," InuYasha yelled.
******Naraku's castle******
Bushichirou was sleeping quite peacefully when he was rudely kicked awake. "What," he grumbled.
Half an hour later, he was leading a whinying horse out of a stable. He climbed on, only to be immediately bucked off. He got on again. He was thrown off again. He went on with this through this with every horse in the stables, all twenty-seven. Finally he reached the last horse.
She was giant cart-horse. Every hair on her body was black, and her eyes were large and beady. She looked extremely miffed.
"She won't let anybody ride on her," the stable-boy said. "But hey, maybe fifty-seven is a lucky number!"
Bushichirou climbed on her bare back. She immediately started bucking, but he grabbed onto her mane. She went galloping out of the stables, and through the open palace gates.
******with InuYasha's group******
Kagome and InuYasha walked a little behind the group. He felt like he wanted to talk with her, but not when anybody was listening. When they stopped in the village, everybody went their separate ways, InuYasha and Sesshomaru every once and a while making sure they could see each other.
Finally, InuYasha turned to Kagome. "Kagome?"
"Yeah?"
They stood in silence for a moment. Then at the same time, they said. "Can I ask you something? Oh, you first!"
They stood for a moment. Then, just as InuYasha was about to speak, Kagome became distracted.
"There's a jewel shard nearby!"
"Huh?"
"I just sensed it."
"We should get the others."
"Not enough time, it's leaving quickly!"
InuYasha turned. "Sesshomaru!" In a moment, the dog youkai had come up to them. "We're going to get the jewel shard Kagome just sensed."
Sesshomaru rolled his eyes, but followed his brother's running at a steady pace.
******with Bushichirou******
Bushichirou had gotten off his steed, and was now wandering through a barren land, guiding it along.
"Horses," he was muttering. "Why horses? Why not elephants, or camels, or....donkeys?"
He walked over to a plant an picked it. He smelled it, then took it over to the horse. "Here, take a scallion." The horse turned it's head away, disgusted. "You don't like scallions? Well, that's too bad. You stupid beast, you lead us out here. All we have to eat is cactus and scallions. If you had taken us where I wanted you to, you could eat cats, or.....mice.......or whatever you beasts eat."
"Whhhhinem."
Bushichirou looked around at the horse. "What? Did you just say WOMEN?"
"Whhhhhinem. That's what I am. And I'm a herbavore." Her voice was light and pure, but definitely that of a horse.
Bushichirou stared for a moment, his jaw dropped. "A what?"
"You stupid child. I'm a herbavore, which means I eat only plants. I order you to take me to a patch of grass, this minute."
