A/N: I couldn't wait to post chapter 24 so here it is
Chapter 24
The fight had begun Faith ran into the mob with Inu-yasha, Sango, Miroku, Kirara, Shippo, Scar and the rest of her pack. She jumped into the air and came down upon one of them. She did a turn kick as she heard a distinct Fox Fire from Kagome's little adopted kitsune. She turned around and dodged another sword attack from behind her. Then all of a sudden she was caught. She saw a Hobbit like creature come up as she was caught between two others. The one in front of her she banged with her head. Then she kicked the other two in the face and flipped over them so she was behind. She took their heads and banged them together knocking them unconscious. She stabbed them in the heart then jumped in the air to look for Glory. "FAITH BEHIND YOU!" Inu-yasha yelled as he saw Faith get stabbed in the back. She fell to the ground. She pretended to be dead until Glory came. That time came earlier than expected. Glory came up and saw Faith on the ground dead. She smirked at the form but soon that smirk disappeared when Faith stood up. "So did you miss me?" she asked smiling at Glory. She then punched Glory in the face and kicked her in the stomach sending her flying towards the tree. Faith smiled while killing a couple of those Hobbit thingies. (A/N: I can't think of a name for them so I'm just going to call them Hobbit thingies. If anyone has any suggestions on what to name them then tell me please)
Glory stood up. Now she was mad and she was going to kill Kagome/Faith. She turned around and saw a large boomerang fly at her. Glory caught it and Faith watched this. She ran as Glory through it back at Sango. She ran and stood in the way. She caught the boomerang and sent it flying with some miko energy back to Glory hoping it would have a mind of its own and hit her. It did it hit Glory and sent her flying into another tree. Faith caught the boomerang as it flew back to her. Sango watched the whole scene in amazement. Faith threw Sango back her weapon and said "Don't go after Glory she is mine to deal with" Sango nodded and continued her fight. She threw the weapon at the demon like things and ended up cutting some in half and others armless or legless.
Miroku since there were no poison insects around was using his wind tunnel catching the demons in it and killing them. Inu-yasha was using Tetssegia and Scar was using the little tricks he had up his sleeve. The rest of Kagome/Faith's pack, were using axes or some elements to their use.
Scar remembered at that time to give Faith her most trusted weapon, the Sensegia. "FAITH" he yelled as he threw the sword at her. She caught it with out looking back to him. She thanked him using her mind. He didn't need the thanks but he knew that she would either way.
Faith then turned to Glory who was standing up wiping the blood from her mouth. "I didn't know gods could bleed" she said "Oh well goes to show you what I know. Anyways do you like my sword? Then go ahead and take it" she said throwing her sword to the ground waiting for Glory to pick it up. Glory smiled and said "Why would you give your own sword to me?" "I'm giving you my sword because it would not be fair for you not to have a weapon in battle" "I agree Faith but there is something more to the sword than meets the eye. Yes your sword the Sensegia, you named it after all" Now everybody had stopped fighting and was listening to the conversation at hand. "You think I'm dumb or something?" "Glory to tell you the truth ya I do" "You don't know what your getting into" Glory smirked at her comment but Faith was laughing at her which put Glory in a bad position. "I think I do because last time it was I who killed you. Now my question is who brought you back? Because whoever did must have been a lame bad ass drunk dealer. That would be sad, a god like you being brought back by a drunk" Faith was laughing. Glory on the other hand was getting angrier. "Oh have a got the poor Glory mad?" she asked in a tone the suggested she was talking to a baby. "Oh well, I put a barrier around the village that you cannot even touch so don't even try while I'm gone" she smiled and the last thing she said to Glory before everybody from her side disappeared. "Gotta fly"
This left Glory to another temper tantrum. She looked at the sea of dead Hobbit thingies in front of her and cursed under her breath. "That bitch will pay" she said through gritted teeth.
Faith and the rest of them where in the pack's village. It was a nice quiet place being rebuilt after the attack that Faith was informed of. Scar had turned back into Alex but Faith had not turned back yet. She knew if she did she would pass out from all her injuries. She just decided to do that when they got to the castle.
Inu-yasha, Sango, Miroku, Shippo and Kirara where looking around the village. They had never seen such a peaceful society before not even in the villages they had been too. Inu-yasha looked at some of the shops they had here and the people. Some of the men where rebuilding most of the damage.
Faith got to the castle and turned back into Kagome whose injury's had healed all except for a bruise on her side. She then turned too her servants and asked "Can you get two rooms ready and make them feel at home while I go and help the men with the repairs?" The servant smiled and nodded as she took the rest into the living room.
"Kagome?" asked a man the looked about in his thirties. He had deep blue hair and lovely maroon eyes that Kagome had adored since she could remember. "Elder Manno" she said and gave him a friendly warm hug. "So how are you doing since the attack?" Manno nodded and said "I'm doing fine all injuries healed and getting the construction work done" She smiled "Well I'm going to get changed and help the men with the repairs" Manno grabbed her arm and said "Are you sure I mean a mistress had never helped in the town before" "I'm sure Manno" she smiled and left him. 'I will never understand that girl' he thought. 'My old friend, Kagome has the most kindest of hearts and I can only say that it came from you dear Rick' he smiled and shook his head while going to introuduce himself to the others in the living room.
He entered the room closing the door behind him. He looked at the five in the room and saw that they were also good friends of Kagome seeing as Kagome's scent was all over them.
"Who are you?" Inu-yasha asked he had a urge to growl but didn't. "I am Elder Manno the one who sent Kagome the letter. She will not be joining us seeing as she has gone into the village to help with the repairs" Inu-yasha jumped out of the seat. "Her injuries are healed there is only one left but that won't stop Kagome" Manno said. Inu-yasha sighed in relief. "Now who might you five be? I only know that you are Kagome's dear friends and one is even more then that" he said pointing a hand at Inu-yasha who nodded. "I am Inu-yasha, Kagome's mate" "I'm Sango" "I'm Miroku" "I'm Shippo and this is Kirara" Manno nodded then turned to Shippo "If I'm correct Shippo you are Kagome's adopted son are you not?" "I am" Shippo piped up in joy. Manno laughed at this and said "No wonder"
"It sounds like you have known Kagome your whole life" Sango said. "I have. Her Father is my best friend. The only friend who would help me out during times and some such. I have to tell you her father was a great man for those who knew him well. Kagome's mom well she was a beauty. Kagome gets most of her looks from her but in Hanyou form she gets her Fathers eyes and ears and tail and other things" he laughed weakly. "When I heard he was dead though I didn't believe it until Alex came back and cried his eyes out" he looked down a tear escaping from his eye. "Oh well everyone passes on sooner or later" he shrugged.
"Anyways I have come to talk to you about Faith" "What about Faith?" Miroku asked daring to know. "Well Faith is famous around here and not in a good way. She well is a criminal here the only reason we don't lock her up is because of Kagome. We ask you to find a way to make Faith go away for good" he said his tone was full of concern. "We can't do that until Glory is killed" Inu-yasha said. He had made a deal with Faith about that and he wasn't going to break it. Manno nodded his agreement. "Right now we can do nothing but until Faith had destroyed Glory she will live" Manno got up and walked to the door. He stopped and looked at them he smiled as he said "I hope you like your stay here" They smiled back until Manno closed the doors on them.
"Faith is a criminal here?! No wonder she didn't seem enthusiastic at all" Sango said looking over at Miroku. "But why is Faith considered a criminal here?" Miroku asked looking at Inu-yasha who in turn said "Your guess is as good as mine" he sighed and shook his head in disapproval. "As long as Kagome lives we all will be able to rest at ease right Inu-yasha?" Sango asked attentively. All he could do was nod.
"Oh well I'm going to help Kagome and the villagers here out with the repairs. Are you guys going to help?" Inu-yasha asked. "You can bet on it" Sango said "Of course" Shippo piped in "We are all going to help" Miroku said standing up from the couch. They headed out of the castle but a maid stopped them and asked "Where are you going Mistress and Masters?" "One, don't call us that call us by our names. I'm Inu-yasha this is Sango, Miroku, Shippo and that's Kirara" Kirara jumped from Sango's shoulder and onto the maid's shoulder making herself comfortable. "And we are going to help with the repairs" he smiled and the maid bowed "Bless us to have such nice people to work for" then she bustled out of the room letting the rest of them go to the village. Kirara went with the happy maid to keep her company.
Kagome was on a roof of the house using a hammer to get the wood together. She stood up and slowly moved to the other side. She looked up and saw Inu-yasha, Sango and Miroku heading her way. She waved as they came up below here.
"So is there anything we can do to help?" Inu-yasha asked "We are going to need your help" Kagome half smiled half laughed.
They were assigned places to work. Inu-yasha helped Kagome and asked her on what to do for some things. Sango and Miroku where working on and entirely different place. The place they were working was a candy shop for the kids there.
Shippo on the other hand, was playing games with the other kids there. He was smiling and running and jumping. Lets put it this way, he hadn't had so much fun before.
Kagome was smiling down at Shippo who looked like he was having so much fun.
"So this is the place Kagome spent some of her childhood in. It's a wonderful place" Inu-yasha commented. Kagome smiled at him and said "Not as wonderful as you are" She kissed him on the cheek watching him give her his rare genuine smile. Kagome looked at him in amazement. Even though they had been mated for about a month now it seemed still new to her.
She then heard a horn blow and sighed. "I have to go to a meeting with whats left of the Elders. Can you finish up here?" Inu-yasha nodded than said "Shouldn't I be there with you?" he asked Kagome sighed and said "Well first of all I'm not the only one to decide that so.... Here I'll talk to the Elders about ok?" Inu-yasha nodded as he watched Kagome jump down and walk towards the castle.
A/N: I know I know I said I couldn't update for a couple of days but I decided to update the same day I wrote chapter 23 I thought I was being evil leaving you at that cliffhanger. Anyways Any suggestion on what to name those things?
