Chapter 17: Azamuku?
"Who are you? Show yourself."
"Hello. It's been a long time since our last meeting." A shadow figure stepped out from behind the tree.
"Your are one of the fates are you?" Kagome narrowed her eyes and prepared to beat the cause of all her misery at once.
"Glad you remembered me. My name is Luabendga." Luabendga stepped out from the shadows. Kagome's eyes widened in disbelief. In front of her a figure in astronaut costume stood.
"How on earth …?"
"We fates know everything." Luabendga told her taking of her helmet. Long silver hair cascaded down her back.
"Even my time?" She shifted nervously.
"Of course. We've been to your world. It is quite a nice place for spending our vacation." Fate neared her.
"Why you did this to us?"
"What exactly you mean?"
"Why you changed our places."
She looked in her eyes seriously. "I don't know." Kagome had enough. With battle shout she launched herself at the standing Fate with claws and her sword. Luabendga dodged her sword but claws managed to rip her costume at the shoulder.
"Look what you've done. You ruined my new suit." She whined jumping a safe distance from Kagome.
"It's nothing compared what you've did to our lives." Kagome hissed and attacked again. This time however Fate was ready and blocked all of her attacks. Finally she was fed up toying with Kagome and kicked her sending her flying towards the tree. She slammed with her back but managed to get up anyway.
"You are well trained as I can see." L. smirked. "Let's see how you've managed a sword." In her hand a crystal sword appeared. She launched at the getting up Kagome. She got enough time to block the hit. L. prepared to deliver another blow but she was stopped by the flying arrow which missed her by some inches. She faced the direction from which the arrow came. She saw Sesshoumaru aiming at her again. She jumped out of the arrow way just in time. It hit the spot where Fate was seconds ago.
"Not bad. But how about purification powers or you can only shoot simple arrows now?" She mocked the demon in human body.
Sesshoumaru growled. "Witch. I'm going to kill you for all the deeds you've done or I'll spare your life in exchange of you reversing your curse." He aimed at her again.
"To reverse the curse?" He nodded. "But I can't. "This curse is special so it can't be broken by the makers." She dodged the arrows which was shot her way.
"What do you mean you can't Wench?!" he prepared another arrow.
"It's simple. You just need to figure it out on your own." She grinned then winced. While she was distracted by Sesshoumaru Kagome sliced her back from behind. Lucky for her she managed to jump in the last moment. The bushes rustled and all the other members of the group showed up. Each one of them ready to attack. Luabendga looked around.
"Six on one, that's not fair." She whined and sent the crystals in every direction. The group jumped out of their way just in time. The thunder was heard. The rain started and pink petals were flying everywhere. Several huge crystals appeared and smashed in the ground with loud crush. As everybody stood in the fighting stance again the lightning struck and everything became quite. There where the strike was stood a very sleepy young man with the pillow under his arm. He yawned.
"Hey people can't you keep it quieter others are trying to sleep here." He pointed in the sky and yawned again.
"Who are you?" Sesshoumaru asked although he had an idea who stood before him. He readied his bow and arrows jus in case.
"Who am I? I think you should know by now or don't tell me you already forgot about my messages." He looked at Kagome then at Sesshoumaru with astonishment.
"It was you?" Kagome asked.
"Yep." He wasn't awake fully so he missed the moment when Sesshoumaru and Kagome attacked him. When he looked at them all he saw two fists aiming for his face. He managed to shield himself with pillow just in the right time when two fists collided with him. Lucky the pillow took all the main blows thus no injures were left on Ghost when he stood up from the ground. He dusted himself and looked at the battled pillow in his hands. He sniffed.
"How dare you destroy my pillow? You'll pay for it." He kicked, shot electrical balls and just shouted at them. By the time he finished his revenge he calmed down and looked around. The entire group was beaten up and was lying on the ground. He singed then heard someone clapping. He faced the source of the sound and grinned.
"So how do you like my preparation party?" Luabendga smirked.
"I haven't seen anything new." He looked around ones more then back at his partner with confusion on his face.
"Of course you haven't but after your little fight for justice you finished the surprise I was going to make for our dear friend Naraku."
"You mean you knew I was going to come here?" He looked t her innocent face but her eyes told him everything he wanted to know. "You made all this noise on purpose." He didn't ask he stated. Then he glared at her. "Because of you my pillow was damaged?"
"Errr …" she backed off a little. "You see … " she was never able to finish her poor excuse when she was struck by the lightning. On her place stood much burned Fate with smoke coming from her burned costume.
"My costume!" she looked at herself in shock then glared at him. "You'll pay for this."
She ran after him but he vanished and returned in the skies to their island.
"COME BACK HERE RIGHT NOW!!!" She shouted but received only a lightning which struck the place near her feet. "You …" she hissed and teleported to the island. There she chased Ghost until he slipped and felt in to the water dragging a panting Luabendga who just caught up with him and didn't stop in time. A lot of bubbles and a soaking couple were the final result of the chase. Finally they calmed down, climbed out and dried themselves.
"I'm going to bed. Good night." Luabendga teleported to her chambers where sleep soon enveloped her. Ghost stood under the tree for some time when he too retired to have rest after the busy day. Finally the silence filled the air.
Back on earth.
The group finally got themselves together. Everybody had a wound or two from the crystal attack.
Kagome put her hand on Sesshoumaru's shoulder and singed dramatically.
"It is up to you to heal and nurse your dear friends back to their usual selves."
At those Sesshoumaru could feel his hair standing on its ends.
"No way am I going to help them." He whispered angrily.
"Oh you ARE going to do it if you don't want to ruin our way to freedom." She glared at him and pushed him toward her friends. He straitened himself and prepared Kagome's first aid kit. First he went to check on Sango and then Miroku. In the process he was groped but the perverted monk was sent flying toward the near bushes. After one quick glance at Inu Yasha and Kouga he turned around and went to the sitting Kagome in the opposite direction. He was followed by the shocked glances from the group.
"Hey what about us?" Kouga and Inu Yasha whined in unison. After they said it they glared at each other. Before they could start another bickering round Sesshoumaru faced them.
"Don't you dare disturb the silence; you are youkais and would heal in several minutes anyway. You don't need me tending to your wounds." He knelt beside Kagome and looked her over. She had only some light bruises from the hits and a small gash on her shoulder. Sesshoumaru put the medications aside and sat beside Kagome at the near tree.
"What about my wound?" Kagome pouted.
"What about it?" Sesshoumaru answered calmly not even bothering to look at her. She huffed and crossed her hands in front of her.
"How rude." She commented and looked in the other direction.
This conversation was listened with growing interest from the others. The silence was ruined by Kouga and Inu Yasha who snickered at the way Kagome dealt with oh so powerful and arrogant Lord.
"What?" Kagome heard the snickers and it made her irritated. "Hnn." Not waiting for an answer she jumped high up the tree and disappeared between the branches.
"I think you both just made Sesshoumaru mad." Sango looked at them with disappointment. "You should at least wait till we defeat Naraku. We need all the help we could get." Miroku agreed with Sango which led to a red print mark on his cheek and a bump on his head while Sango was busily dusting her hands from invisible dust.
"Oh sure he would help. As if that bastard cares for anything in the world." Inu Yasha stated arrogantly.
"Inu Yasha?" Sesshoumaru asked startled hanoy with honey voice and death glint in his eyes. "Sit"
'This is bad.' Before Inu Yasha could think anything more he was tossed in the air and then back toward the 'lovely' ground. He looked up at the standing Kagome before him. "WHAT WAS THAT FOR WENCH?!!!" He screamed really pissed now.
"Sit." Again cursing hanoy was tossed in the air and then back down. Kagome looked at the dent he made in the ground and smirked.
"Serves you right mutt-face." He looked at her with hurt in his big yellow eyes.
"Grrr…" Was the only answer he received.
"Pack your things we are leaving." Sesshoumaru turned around and folded his sleeping bag. He put all Kagome's things in the yellow bag-pack. The group silently followed their friend and leader. When all the preparations were done the group headed north. The only thing they didn't know was that someone was watching every their move.
After several hours of constant walking no one uttered a single word. When it was near lunch time the group suddenly stopped.
"I sense shards." Sesshoumaru told the others. Kagome sniffed the air.
"I can't detect whom the shards belong." Inu Yasha growled in frustration.
"The smell is somewhat familiar." Kagome sniffed the air again and her eyes narrowed. "Another Fate." The entire group took a fighting stance. After some minutes of silence the bushes rustled and young man with flaming red hair appeared. He was tall with long wavy red hair with orange streaks in them. He wore a long red robe with phoenixes. In his hand he was holding a feather with flames dancing around it. On his wrist a beautiful red bracelet was shining. He smiled at them.
"Hello. May I intro … " he never finished his sentence when six outraged persons attacked him at once. He managed to dodge their attacks just in time but never less he received a good beating.
"WHAIT!!!" He shouted and raised his hands. From the tips of his fingers red flames shot in every direction. The attackers stopped.
"I CAME TO HELP." He shouted before he would receive any other blows.
The group stopped at his outburst.
"You are one of the Fate's." Sesshoumaru aimed an arrow at him.
"Yes. But I came to help beat them up."
"Tell us what you know and we'll think what to do with you and them." Kagome commanded the newcomer and sat down cross legged. The youth singed in relief and followed the lead. Everybody sat down but readied their weapons just in case.
"As I was trying to tell you earlier my name is Azamuku. I'm one of the fates who watch humans and their deeds. The two Fates you encountered earlier are traitors who broke the laws and came to earth. Their goal is to play a game with destiny in which they plan to win. And they allied with the most powerful evil being Naraku. They gave him power and soon he would be able to control the entire world." Azamuku finished his story and looked at Kagome in the eyes. Sesshoumaru noticed a strange flicker in his eyes but it disappeared as quickly as appeared so he waved it aside for the time being.
"And what are you doing here?" Kagome asked him with suspicion. She didn't know why but she didn't like this Fate.
"Oh. I came here to give you a hand to help get rid this world from Naraku. As now the forces aren't even and it would not be fair for you to fight without any help." The amusement was visible in his eyes.
"How do we know you are telling us the truth?" Miroku asked while studying him.
"It's your own choice." Azamuku shrugged. 'Soon I'll get what I want. And nothing would be able to stop me.' He laughed evilly inside his head.
The group looked at each other. The tension grew. Suddenly the silence was broken by Inu Yasha.
"Khe. Let's allow him to join us then we'll see if he would be able to gain our trust." Everybody stared shocked at him. He shifted nervously under their intense gases.
"What?!" He barked.
"Nothing dog-face. It's just you suggested something clever for the first time." Kouga told him.
"Shut up wolf!" Inu Yasha glared at Kouga.
"Mutt face!" Kouga shot his own glare.
"Silence!" Sesshoumaru was getting tired of all the constant bickering between the two. "Let him join us for the mean time. We lost enough time here already. Move out." He stood up and others followed him not saying any word afraid they would anger Kagome. And thus the journey continued in silence again only muttering of certain hanoy and wolf youkai could be heard from time to time. Sesshoumaru was leading with Kagome at his side. Then were Sango and Miroku together with Azamuku. The end was left for Inu Yasha and Kouga. The group slowly disappeared between the trees making their way deeper in to the Northern Lands.
