I hope you like this chapter. Yes it is longer. I told ya it would start getting longer.

"DINNER!" Meru shouted. This caused the guys to fall over themselves running to get some food. The group ate and talked to Ryuujin and Meru.

" So what is the nature of your travels?" Ryuujin asked.

"We are in pursuit of a very powerful demon" Sango said.

"Yes. This youkai has cursed my family, killed hers, and caused him to be sealed to a tree for 50 years, and has stolen the shards of the Shikon No Tama." Miroku said as he pointed to each person.

" So I assume your gonna want my shards?" Ryuujin said.

"Not as of now. We figure you can protect them real well until we'll need them to refuse the jewel" Kagome said.

"Ya! Plus you let wimpy wolf keep his so I don't see the big deal." Inuyasha said.

"SIT!" Kagome yelled. InuYasha came crashing to the floor in front of him.

"He should have known better" Shippo said acting older then he was.

"Who is this demon you speak of. The Dragon Clan has many allies. I am sure someone knows of this Youkai you speak of." Ryuujin said curiously.

"The Youkai's name is Naraku." Miroku said.

Ryuujin seemed shocked for half a second but then spoke, "We had a youkai that went by that name come through here nearly 50 years ago. He attacked me for the dragon's charm. It has the power to make demons stronger and give them the power of dragons. I nearly kilt him but he ran away before I could deal the finishing blow. He said as he left that I would pay dearly for what I did..."

"This sword will do me well." Naraku said "A sword able to steal the soul of anything it touches."

"Yes master but the sword, like InuYasha's Tetsisiga, is a choosey sword. It will only work its powers if it accepts you." Kagura said.

"I am sure it will accept me." Naraku took the sword from Kagura. The sword started to pulsate in his hands. Naraku smiled as the sword started to glow an eerie green aura.

"Good. This is wonderful. Unlike Kanna's mirror, this sword can hold an unlimited number of souls. This could be good in getting rid of InuYasha and the rest of those pesky meddling kids." Naraku said as he raised off the ground and left the room.

Back at the Dragon Manor, InuYasha and the gang were in their room talking.

"That was really nice of Ryuujin to let us stay the night." Kagome said. "His wife was very sweet and a great cook. I hope I find a woman who is just like that and will bear me a child. Such a beautiful girl with such luscious curves..." Miroku said

WHACK! Sango hit Miroku over the head with Hiraikotsu. "Perv" Sango said.

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" A scream came from the forest. The gang immediately jumped up and ran toward the sound of the scream.

"That sounded like Meru." Shippo said.

"There are jewel shards where the scream came from." Kagome said. The entered a clearing in the forest. It was a small natural garden with a large tree in he middle. It had roses of al different colors and a patch of blue tulips. By the tree laid Meru's lifeless body. Ryuujin was already there. He was breathing heavy and looking up into the tree.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER YOU FUCKING BASTARD!" Ryuujin yelled up at the tree.

"Calm down dragon, she is not dead, just soulless." A familiar voice said.

"You are going to restore her soul now before I rip you to shreds" Ryuujin growled.

"Fine then." A body covered by an albino baboon pelt jumped down from the tree.

"You will find me the sword of light and bring it to me with the Dragon Charm, so that no one will stand in my way." The baboon said

"Ryuujin grab Meru and get out of the way" InuYasha yelled. Ryuujin did as he was told and in the next second...

"Bakuryuuha!" InuYasha yelled, pointing his sword in Naraku's direction

"Kazaana" Miroku yelled as he removed his prayer beads aiming it in Naraku's direction

"Hiraikotsu" Sango yelled, throwing her giant boomerang at Naraku.

Kagome notched and shot an arrow at Naraku. This all happened in the blink of an eye. Lucky for Ryuujin he was extremely fast. Maybe even faster then Koga. Naraku was also extremely fast and jumped into the tree to avoid Sango, Kagome, and InuYasha's attack. He released his poison bees to deal with Miroku's Kazaana.

"Remember what I said Ryuujin. If you want to see your love walk this earth with her soul again you will do as I say" Naraku said before he vanished.

"Damn it" Ryuujin swore.

The group returned to the Dragon Manor. Ryuujin carried Meru up to her room. He told his servants to take perfect care of her body. Accidents were not going to be accepted and they would be punished severely. He then joined InuYasha and the rest of the group in his sitting room.

"I can't believe this happened." Ryuujin said, sinking his head down. He turned on some music to listen to.

"Why was she alone in the first place" InuYasha said.

"And where did you get that stereo and all those CDs" Kagome asked amazed considering it was still the fuedal era."

"To answer Kagome's question, time travel is a wonderful thing. To answer InuYasha's question, that is her sanctuary. I personally created the barrier around it so only Members and friends of the Dragon Clan could enter it. She was always safe there. I let her go alone so she could be with her thoughts." Ryuujin said.

"I see. But now I wanna know ho you got to the future." Kagome said

"Is that really important right now" Sango asked Kagome?

"If she wants to know I will tell her." Ryuujin said

"Strong dragons are able to tear dimensional portals, which also can work as time machines. I was able to travel to a time where those things are and brought them back. The rest of the clan could never know of these due to the fact they all would want them. I never allow anyone in this room except for you guys now." Ryuujin told them.

"Well now to important matters. How was Naraku able to steal meru's soul?" InuYasha asked.

"He used a sword that was capable of stealing souls and struck her with it." Ryuujin said.

"With a sword like that Naraku could destroy everyone and rule the world." Sango gasped.

"W need to find and stop him." Miroku said.

"We'll leave tonight then." InuYasha said.

"We'll be ready by then.' Ryuujin said

"this is my problem too. I will round up the three most powerful members of the clan and we will join your journey."

"Fine then." Miroku said, "At dark we head out."

There ya go folks. Don't get used to me updating every day or two. I am only able to be this quick due ti the fact i got half days at school once full days start it may be a few days for new chapters. that is not including writers block and life happening.
