Chapter 17: Destination Found

Rin is walking alone in the woods, totally lost. Since the day she was blown into the sky by Rodan, she never saw Sesshomaru again. For days she searched for him, but to no avail. She finally sat down besides a tree cry.

"Okay… Almost got it…" says Pichu to himself. He is on a thin tree branch, trying to reach an apple on the far end of the branch. As he got near the apple, the branch shakes harder than before. Finally, the branch can't take hold up any longer, so it breaks off from the tree and Pichu falls down screaming.

Rin thought she heard someone screaming, like a voice of a little kid. She looks up just in time for the apple to fall straight onto her face, followed by a yellow mouse falling onto her legs. Rin and Pichu stare at each other for a while, then they scream and run off in opposite directions.

Fox is lying on the ground, unconscious. It wasn't long before he got up and looks around. "What have I been doing?" he thought. "Oh yeah! I fell down the cliff thanks to that dumb ass Link. I fell into a raging river, but was able to make it onto land, and then I fainted." He stood up and starts walking around. "I must find the others."

Fox travels around for a while, and then he heard a crying sound. "Sounds like a little girl crying," he thought. He continues searching and eventually found a little girl sitting on the ground crying. "What's wrong, kid?" Fox asks her.

The girl looks up at Fox and says, "I've got separated from Sesshomaru! I searched for him for many days and still can't find him!"

"That's bad," says Fox sadly. "What's your name?"

"Rin," the girl replies.

"I'm Fox. I will help you find your friend."

"Thank you!"

"Okay, just where the hell is Ganondorf?!" yells Inuyasha, frustrated.

"He was following us a while ago," says Roy. "But he disappeared just like that!"

"He must-a be in beeg trouble!" says Mario.

"But he should be able to protect himself," says Roy.

"Forget about him first!" says Punk. "Let's go look for the others!" Then he tripped on a rock and fell into a big pool of puddle, thus triggering his curse form. "Poor guy," says Link. "There's no hot water around here to change you back."

Ness, Pix, and Pork are running through the woods. "How will we ever find them?" asks Pix. "We'll never find them in this big forest!"

"I believe they're somewhere near here," says Ness. "Follow me and all will be right."

They kept running until all three fell into a pond. "Well," says Ness. "At least we're alive, right?"

"Cluck," clucks Pix.

"Moo…" moos Punk.

"Let's just hope nobody here is interested in fried chicken or steak," says Ness.

Sesshomaru is traveling at a speed faster than before and Jaken is trying to catch up with him. "Master, can we rest for a while…?" asks Jaken, rather tired. "You don't have to be serious about this, do you?"

"Rin is just a little girl," Sesshomaru tells him. "She can get attacked easily by anyone, so I must find her before something happens to her."

Suddenly, Sesshomaru came to a stop. Jaken was glad that he can finally rest for a while. "Look," says Sesshomaru while pointing to none other than Pichu. "Me?" asks Pichu.

"So what's about a little yellow mouse?" asks Jaken. "This mouse has the scent of Rin," Sesshomaru explains. "Perhaps he can take us to Rin.

"I didn't know I'm famous!" thought Pichu. Then Pichu stood up and sniffs the air. "I smell someone familiar!" Then he runs off in the opposite direction. "Follow him, quick!" says Sesshomaru before taking off to follow the electric Pokemon. "Is master acting well?" thought Jaken.

Kagome, Miroku, and Shippo are still traveling together. Everyone once in a while, Miroku would inch closer to Kagome as they walk, and when he gets too close, Kagome would push him away.

"Look at the sky!" shouts Shippo while pointing up. They all look in the sky and sees big black blob zooming across the sky, leaving behind a trail of black mist. When the mist lands on the trees, the trees would wither and all the waters would turn black.

"That must be Hedorah," says Kagome. "I didn't know it could cause that much pollution…"

"It appears that it's flying towards a castle of some sorts," points out Miroku. They look in the direction Hedorah is flying; indeed, the monster is flying towards what looks like a castle.

"I think we should follow it," insists Kagome.

"But we can't defeat it for sure!" protests Shippo. "It's so freaking huge!"

"But I have a feeling that it can lead us to Naraku," Kagome tells him. Both of them thought for a while, then they thought what she said did make sense. After all, Naraku have gotten his hands on the Jewel of Power and could've used it to possess Hedorah. They head off in the direction Hedorah flew in.

"Hey, do you think that's the place we're looking for?" asks Roy while looking through a binocular he had brought. Inuyasha got the binocular from him and looks through it. "What were you looking at? All I see are trees!" he says. "Look in that direction," Roy points out to him.

Inuyasha looks in that direction and sees a castle. "Hey, that could be Naraku's castle," he says. "It has to be! I know it!"

"If that's so, then we have reached our destination!" says Link happily. "But too bad Fox didn't…"

"All right, don't think about that past," Roy tells him.

"GOO GAH GEEE AAAA HOO HOO!" chatters Punk.

"What did he say?" asks Sango.

"Sorry, I don't-a know monkey language," replies Mario.

Punk points in the direction of the castle and jumps up and down while chattering, "HOOOOO HAAAA HAWWWW!!!!!"

"I think he wants to play the trampoline," says Link.

"Nah, perhaps he wants to do some exercise," implies Roy.

"I think he means to go to the castle fast," points out Sango. Punk claps his hand chatters, "YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Well, I got that correct."

Ness is riding on top of Pork and Pix is sitting on Ness's head. "Yah!" shouts Ness. "Keep running! This is like rodeo!"

Eventually, Pork trips on a twig and falls to the ground, sending Ness to shoot forward into a hole. "Hey! Where am I?" yells Ness from the darkness. "There's something here with me!" He screams out loud and rabbits all pop out from the hole. Ness crawls out from the hole. "Phew, I thought I would be smothered by the rabbit droppings down there…"

He goes to Pork and Pix and tells them to continue moving, but the two livestock just stands there, looking at a huge castle not far from them. Ness looks at the castle and wonders, "Can this be Naraku's castle?" He turns to the two livestock and asks, "Wanna go check it out?" The two animals nod their heads.

Fox and Rin are walking along the path. "So how is this Sesshomaru like?" Fox asks Rin. "Sesshomaru is a big demon. He saved my life and I have been traveling with him ever since," she replies.

Suddenly, out of the bushes Pichu pops out. "Pichu?" asks Fox. "Is that you?"

"Who else can it be?" replies Pichu. "Fox!" He runs up to Fox and hugs him. "It's great to see you again!"

"Good to see you too!" says Fox. Next, Sesshomaru and Jaken appear from the bushes. "Sesshomaru!" cries Rin as she runs up to him. Sesshomaru embraces her and says, "It's good to see you alive and well."

Sesshomaru looks up at fox and says, "Are thou the one who hath kept Rin safe?"

"Well, I did," Fox tells him. "And you have been keeping Pichu safe, haven't you?"

"It is your mouse friend that hath brought me here. I give my thanks to him."

"I have never been so helpful and useful in my life!" says Pichu.

"All right, let's go find the others," Fox tells Pichu. "Are you looking for someone?" Sesshomaru asks him. "Yeah, my partners have been separated from me," Fox tells him. "I've been looking for them forever."

"Since you protected Rin, I shall accompany you until you find your partners," Sesshomaru offers. "But master, why should we help someone we don't even know about?" protests Jaken.

"Watch your words!" Sesshomaru scolds him. "Have you got no heart? One should repay kindness to those who showed you kindness."

"Oh all right…" sighs Jaken.

Suddenly, a huge figure zooms across the sky above them. A strong gust of wind blows when the figure flies above past them. "What was that?!" asks Fox.

Sesshomaru recognizes the figure that flew pass. "It is the ancient beast Rodan," he says. "Naraku has awaken him from his long time slumber. This vile monster had separated Rin and Jaken from me, so I have a score to settle with him!"

"Naraku!" says Pichu. "We're supposed to track down him! He stole something precious from us!"

"Yes!" Fox adds. "He had stolen the Jewel of Power—the jewel that possesses powers you want it to have! He will surely use it for his evil deeds!"

"Naraku surely has ties with Rodan right now," says Sesshomaru. "Let us follow Rodan, for he will surely take us to Naraku."

So the five of them takes in the direction Rodan flew.

Naraku had been watching everything from a magic mirror. "They're all coming," he says to himself. "Let them come, for they'll never defeat me and my mighty monsters!"
