Chapter 10
Revealed
"Excuse me?" asked Kagome. She cocked her head to the side, utterly confused.
"He's found out where we are and he's bound to come after us!" Sesshomaru repeated anxiously.
"Just who is 'he'?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha must be hiding something from us that we don't know. Kagome thought.
Miroku, Koga, Sango, and Ayame poked their heads out of the boys' room to see what was going on. "Sesshomaru! Kagura! What are you doing here?" Miroku and Koga asked in unison.
Kagome turned to the boys. "You know these two?" she questioned.
They ignored her question and said, "Come in." Sesshomaru and Kagura came in and sat down on the couch.
"Why are you here?" Koga said.
"You know the reason we're here Koga. We each get on with our own lives until we show up in another's. It's because of 'him'." Kagura answered nonchalantly. Miroku and Koga's faces fell.
"Are you sure for real?" Miroku replied. Kagura and Sesshomaru nodded.
Kagome was getting tired of being left in the dark. Her temper was about flare if someone didn't explain. "CAN SOMEONE TELL ME JUST WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!" she screamed. Sango and Ayame also wore annoyed faces. They felt the same thing as Kagome.
"You want to know?" Sesshomaru asked. The girls eagerly nodded. "Then sit down since this is going to be a long story." Koga, Ayame, and Miroku sat down on the coffee table as Sango and Kagome pulled up chairs.
"Have you ever heard of the legend of the Shikon No Tama?" asked Miroku. Sango and Ayame shook their heads.
"I have. My grandfather told it to me and my brother many times before when we were at the shrine." Kagome answered.
"Well, the legend is known rarely among the Japanese now." Koga commented.
"The legend of the Shikon No Tama states about a Jewel made up of four spirits. Aramitama, Kusimitama, Nagimitama and Sakimitama. Or also known as courage, wisdom, friendship, and love." Kagura explained. "Well, the Jewel has always been passed down from a family of mikos."
Sesshomaru sighed. "Kikyo Priestess's family was the one who has possessed it for generations." He replied. Before he could go any further, Miroku and Koga stopped him.
"Before we go on further with the story, you should know something about Kikyo." Koga cut in.
"Good. Because we've been wondering who this Kikyo is." Sango responded.
"Anyhow, Kikyo and Inuyasha became good friends when they were pretty young. When they got older, they wanted to try out dating so they did. But then they thought it seemed too weird so they broke up." Miroku added.
"Is that all?" asked Ayame.
"Should be."
Sesshomaru shot the boys a cool stare. "Can we continue?" They gestured at him. "Anyway, Kikyo and her family gave the Shikon No Tama to us, the Taisho's."
"This is where 'he' comes in. 'He' is actually my cousin Naraku. He was always smart and the top of his class. It wasn't until I began dating Sesshomaru…" Kagura responded.
"What happened?" Ayame inquired.
"Well, Naraku learned that the Taisho's kept the Jewel with them. He researched about it and came across the legend. He became very insane about it and began to plot ways to steal it." She answered.
"Because of the Jewel's power to make a very deep desire come true." Kagome commented.
"That's right. Kikyo learned of his scheme so she told us of it." Sesshomaru added.
"So Kikyo, her younger sister Kaede, and their mother Midoriko did a sacred ritual to protect the Shikon No Tama. They sealed it into one of us for safe keeping." Miroku replied.
"Inuyasha." the girls said together.
"And the catch was that only another miko, not Kikyo, Kaede, or Midoriko, could take it out of his body." he finished.
"We've been spending the past 3 years running away from him as well." Koga remarked.
"I have a question. How would you know when Naraku has found you?" Ayame asked.
"Mostly on my part. I know the ways of how my dear cousin works." Kagura answered. "He usually sends his minions to come after us."
The front door opened and Inuyasha came in. "Hey, any of you know why my brother's car is outside?" he asked. He looked around the room, spotting the new visitors. "Has he found us?"
"Yes he has Inuyasha. We have to get out of here now." Sesshomaru commanded.
The hanyou nodded. "Miroku, Koga. Pack up your clothes now. We have to leave as quickly as possible." He ordered. Then he turned to the girls. "You have to pack up as well."
"We have to leave as well! No way Inuyasha Taisho!" Kagome screamed, getting up. "This is your problem with Naraku and not ours!" She gestured to her friends and herself.
"You fool! I'm sorry to tell you this but you have to leave as well! When Naraku finds us with other people who know about our situation, he plans to drag us into this! Now you have to go with us if you want to live unless you want to stay here and die!" Inuyasha argued.
"Forget it!"
"Stop arguing! We're being watched!" Sesshomaru roared.
"What?" everyone asked. Before anything else happened, a deafening sound echoed through the room, shattering everything. They all tried to cover their ears to block out the noise. When everyone fell to the floor unconscious, ten people stepped out of the shadows.
One of them took out a cloth filled with chloroform. It was placed on each one of their noses so they inhaled it and lost more of their consciousness. "Great job Hiroshi, Shinji, Kameko, and Megan. That sound sure was deafening." Reishi commented slyly.
Kinbari laughed. "It was so powerful that it began to give off waves out of their pathetic minds." Her, Chione, and Sayo took rope and tied it around their wrists and ankles.
"Their mind was so poorly guarded." Megan replied with a smirk. "Only made the job easier."
Kesshou finished putting them into a deep sleep. "This should hold them off for a while."
"It should be enough for the trip back to the base." Chione said.
"All that hard work finally paid off." Sayo commented.
Kesshou and Aki picked up Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, Koga, and Miroku and began to carry them out of the house. They each put them into four different vans. With their powerful telekinetic powers, Hiroshi and Shinji levitated Kagura and Kagome out to the van as well. Kagome was placed in with Inuyasha and Kagura with Sesshomaru. Sayo and Kinbari dragged Sango and Ayame out as well.
Reishi let out a laugh. "Master Naraku will be sure to be pleased with our work." She assumed. Two of them each got into each of the four vans and Reishi and Sayo got into Sesshomaru's car and led them to their destination.
