What Happens Next...
Miroku gripped his staff and brought it to him. Some of the bee's buzzed hearing the shingle of it. 'I need to be more quiet; I do not wish to encounter any bee's anytime soon,' he thought. He stood and slowly began to walk backwards towards the hole in the wall that he made.
Miroku watched all sides of him as he backed up being careful not to trip. He was concentrating so hard on not waking the bee's that he tripped over his own foot. He caught himself before he could fall.
"Geez!" He said quietly then looked up. Luckily the bee's were still asleep. Miroku assumed they were still sound asleep so he turned and when he did there was a huge bee in front of him. He gasped and sweatdropped then thought, 'I need to do something that will disable it from calling the others to him.'
The bee was still half asleep and it's wings were hardly moving. It's buzzing was soft and soothing and Miroku got a beautiful idea.
"Rock-a-bye poisonous bee in the honey hive, Miroky just wanted to say hi. Now rest your um- wings so you wont fall and there will be no other bee friends for you to call... To kill me." 'I hope me changing Kagome's song does the trick with this thing.'
The bee's eyes closed and it fell to the ground and hummed the same tune with it's buzz.
Miroku sighed and walked around it. "Thank god for Kagome," he said and walked out, once he was out in the opening he was blown back by the force of Raikou's recent attack on Kouga.
He landed on top of the bee and it woke with anger. It started to buzz so loud that Miroku screamed in agony and covered his ears. Once it's high buzzing ended he was surrounded by all the bee's and there expression were just as angry as the first.
"This isn't good!" Miroku yelled and held his staff defensively in front of him. 'I hope the others are holding out.' Miroku knocked down one bee and thought, 'Be safe Sango.'
Kouga flew into the wall next to Sango. He growled at Raikou and attempted to get up but he yelled in pain. Kouga felt down his leg and reached the knot sticking up under his skin. 'Damnit, that bastard busted my leg. I wont be able to dodge those attacks,' Kouga thought as he rubbed over his now swelling leg.
Sango moaned and her eyes moved under their lids.
Shippo transformed back into his normal (cute, cuddly, adorable, irresistable) form and patted her face, "Sango, Sango, Sango! Are you okay?" He waited and she finally opened her eyes; she looked lost.
Sango raised a hand to her cheek and grabbed Shippo's tiny one, "Ship-po?"
Shippo brightened and jumped on her in a big hug. "Sango, you're alright," he said with glee.
Sango could feel her body weakening and thought, 'I was hit harder than I thought.' She turned her head slightly to the side to see Kouga trying to get up and she said lowly, "What ails you Kouga?"
Kouga heard this and turned over to Sango, their gazes met and they just stared at each other. Everything seemed to stop.
He thought, 'She's alright, but not for long. I'll save her.'
She thought, 'Why is he looking at me like that?'
Raikou stared at the two and grew angry, "She hasn't died yet? Well, I'll fix that!" He began to glow brighter and he extended his finger towards Sango, "This will be rid of her!"
Kouga heard him and he picked up Sango, ignoring his leg, and Shippo and jumped away. The lightening hit where the were and Raikou laughed.
"Ahhhh!" Kouga yelled once they stopped rolling, he gripped his leg and started to growl.
Shippo ran to his side and said with concern, "You shouldn't fight, your leg is to badly injured!"
"Shut up kid! I'll take this guy, no problem," Kouga said and got up slowly, he began to limp towards Raikou thinking, 'where the hell is that stupid Monk?'
Miroku somehow sensed what Kouga said and clenched his teeth in anger, 'If he knew where I was right now he wouldn't be complaining,' he thought. Miroku held his right hand close to him, in fear that the bee's would rip the prayer beads from his hand and they'd all be sucked in at once.
He was fighting his way towards the hole but everytime he got a little close the bee's would come in huge swarms and push him back, farther into the hive. The bee's buzzed to each other devising plans in their own way. Miroku noticed this and kept a close watch on those that were conversing but there was a moment that he didn't catch.
Miroku knocked away an approaching bee's and his out stretched staff was being pulled. Miroku began to bring his right hand to the staff and then, a bee pulled off his prayer beads.
"No!" Miroku yelled as his Wind Tunnel opened. The bee's buzzed in delight and began to fly in it. Miroku began to feel the stings within his hand and how the poison began to circulate. He dropped his hand to the floor and it began to be sucked in, but no bee's could enter. He crawled to his prayer beads near the hole and weakly put them on. Once he did he rolled out the hole and slapped a holy seal on the wall beside it.
The bee's began to ram into the shealed and burned to their death. Miroku watched and sighed in relief. Then he looked up to see Kouga being shocked back by the demon who knocked him in the wall.
Shippo looked in the direction of where Miroku was and saw him and yelled, "Miroku!"
Miroku saw Shippo running towards him and he waved his staff above him, "Shippo," he said weakly and dropped his staff.
He arrived and started to panick, "What happened to you?" he asked and then looked at the bee's behind the seal, "Oh no!" Shippo pulled out the antidote and started to pour it into Miroku's open mouth and he drunk it. Shippo stopped and placed the bottle back on his kimono, 'I hope that will be enough,' he thought.
Kouga dropped to the floor and steam flew from his body, "I can't do anything with this broken leg!" He was frustrated and he pounded his fist into the floor.
Raikou yawned and ran his fingers through his hair, "This is very boring, I would have had a better battle with that Monk," he said and lifted his hands above his head and the energy began to crackle between his hands. "That Monk should be dead, that slayer will die. You wont be able to save anyone unless you kill me!" He laughed and got ready to clap his hands together.
Kouga and Shippo watched in shock as Raikou's upper body fell to the ground, and all of him turned to ash.
They both watched the weapon that killed him and saw who it belonged to. It was Sango on her feet. She held her boomerang in front of her. She tied her sword to it and there was poison all along the blade. She smiled weakly and said, "I did it," she then began to fall.
"Sango!" they both said in unison. When they reached her she was laughing in delight.
"I'm feeling better already," she stood, with the help of Kouga and moved her fingers and balled them into fists; she started to throw punches.
Shippo was confused but he just smiled and ran back to Miroku who was trying to stand up.
Kouga smirked and said, "killing him was the only cure huh?"
Sango threw her boomerang over her shoulder and stared at him with a confused expression, "No."
Kouga sweatdropped, "What?"
"I was once hit by lightening before and I almost didn't survive. But thanks to this demon skin it just absorbs the shock into it, and I only take in a little." Sango watched his dumbfounded expression turn to a smirk.
Kouga turned saying, "whatever. You and that Monk are okay so lets get moving. By the way-" Kouga began then turned back to her and said, "try not to get hurt so much, or I'll start to worry then kill everyone and anything in my way."
Sango was shocked at what he said then she just ignored it. "Kouga, you shouldn't walk on that leg. Let me help you," she said while taking his arm and placing it behind her neck.
Kouga flushed and said, "This isn't really nessacary, I'm a demon. I don't need help from humans."
Sango sighed and held tighter to his wrist, "Now your starting to sound like Inuyasha. Just face it, sometimes demons need humans like humans need demons."
Kouga opened his mouth to argue but quickly closed it, thinking about Kagome and how she located the shard from the Birds of Paradise. He driffted away from Kagome and stared at the side of Sango's face and thought, 'how very alike they are, and yet how they're different.'
Miroku slowly approached Sango and then he stared at Kouga next to her. He began to feel jealos, "I see you're fine, and to think I was worried," he had a pitch of annoyance in his voice.
Sango stared at him with confusion, "What's wrong with you?"
Miroku still had the same tone, "Oh nothing-" then he mumbled, "I fight as hard as I can to save you and you run off with wolf boy."
"What was that Monk?" Kouga growled not fully understanding what he'd said.
Shippo stared at all three of them knowing that an arguement was forming, "Why don't we get to Naraku now!"
They all looked down at him and said, "Oh yeah."
Shippo shook his head in embarrasement, "Grown-ups." After he said this the door began to creek open, and through it they saw an all too familiar baboon suit and behind him were his two faithful minions: Kanna, Kagura, and Kohaku.
Once Sango saw her brother she slightly growled at Naraku. She had to deal with so much pain ever since he stole her family from her. Everyday she wished she could turn back time and stop her family from going to Naraku's castle. Naraku, the evil demon born from a human caused so many lives to be destroyed.
'It is his turn to die, die for everyone he ever hurt,' Sango let go of Kouga's waist and began to move it toward her boomerang.
"Calm yourself Sango, you'll have your chance to destroy me soon enough," Naraku said in a small chuckle. He began to walk toward them slowly.
"Wait right there Naraku!" Miroku warned holding out his staff.
Naraku stopped and turned his gaze over to him, "Miroku, you are truely weak, my Simyosho (Sp?) have served their purpose upon you."
Miroku ignored his remark and pointed his staff at him, "How do we know it's really you?"
Naraku smiled beneath his mask, "I assure you that it is me, but since not knowing me real presence ails you-," he snapped his fingers and the pelt was gone. There was his dark purple and black kimono and his long wavy hair. His evil orange-red eyes glowed with malace and his smile was as sinister as ever.
Shippo trembled, "It's him alright."
"Where is the Essence of Tetsusaiga?" Sango yelled trying as hard as she could to hold her urge to kill him.
All of them began to chuckle but Sango, Miroku, Kouga, and Shippo didn't find anything funny about it. They stared to each other and then Naraku spoke, "You've come to the wrong place, because the essence is no longer with me."
"You're lieing!" Sango shot at him and began to sweat. She wanted his blood on her hands.
Naraku brought forth Kanna and in her mirror showed an image of Kikyo holding the bottle and preparing the spell.
"Kikyo lives on in this world because of her hatred towards Inuyasha. I gave her the spell to be rid of not only Inuyasha but herself."
"What do you mean?" Miroku asked becoming very worried.
"If Inuyasha dies so does Kikyo because she has no life, only the purpose of killing him keeps her alive."
"I get it. I remember when the witch Urasuea said that the hatred absorbed into her bones and that's what kept her alive when Kagome's soul was taken back," Shippo said.
"Yes, young fox, when they die there will be no one in my way of taking the jewel and reigning over all."
"You're forgetting about us, you beast!" Sango said.
Naraku turned and ignored her, "The spell Kikyo made has awaken Inuyasha's demon self and now there are two of them, yet they are fighting in Inuyasha's mind. Once his demon blood destroys him there will be nothing left but a demon bent on destruction and I have a feeling Kagome will be it's first target."
"You bastard!" Kouga yelled trying to reach him but his leg made him fall face forwards.
Miroku balled his fists and yelled, "What do you plan to do with us?"
Naraku turned back to them and said, "Good question. It really would be a waste to kill you but..." Naraku paused and held out his hand. Webs shot out of his fingers and struck them all of them in the neck, but Shippo. He turned into a mouse and ran for help.
Sango dropped first then Kouga dropped his head and finally Miroku fell. They all lay motionless and looked as though they were dead.
Naraku laughed evily and yelled, "Rise my new children, RISE!" Slowly all 3 of them began to stand and their eyes were blank. They picked up their weapons and walked over to him and bowed as they passed him. Naraku watched as they lined up with the rest of his servants. "Your jobs are to find Inuyasha and make sure no one saves him. My newest addition to the family, find that young lass, Kagome, and bring her to me, alive!"
^.~
'Will we ever stop walking?!' Kagome thought to herself as her feet began to ache. They'd been walking for nearly 3 days and nights with only one break but that was only because Jaken spotted a new arm for Sesshoumaru.
Rin got extra breaks though because she got to ride on Ah-Un's back. 'It's not fair!' Kagome thought, 'he treats her like an angel and I have to walk like a slave. She gets to eat a full meal, EAT! and sleep, oh God SLEEP! I'm getting sick of it. I'm going to give that Sesshoumaru a piece of my mind.'
Kagome stood erect and walked up behind Sesshoumaru but before she could pat his back to get his attention he said, "This spot will be fine for the rest of the day. Make camp Jaken."
"Aye, M'lord!" Jaken scurred away to build and fire and find food.
Kagome just stood in that position shocked. Sesshoumaru could hear her breathing and he turned to her. Kagome fell to the ground. He looked at her with question but just turn away thinking, 'humans.'
Rin jumped off of Ah-Un and polked Kagome's face, "Are you okay Miss Kagome?"
Kagome sighed and sat up, "I'm fine Rin. Do you want to bathe in the lake over there, it'll be fun?"
Rin smiled and said, "we get to play?!"
Kagome smiled and stood up, "Yup, were I come from there are a lot of things you can do to have fun while bathing!" (A/N: If you think about that line it sounds very funny. HEHEHEHEHE!)
Rin jumped up and ran to Sesshoumaru who was leaning against a tree. "Lord Sesshoumaru! Can I go with Miss Kagome and bathe? PLEASE!" She had put on the best pleading face she could to make him say yes.
He looked over to Kagome who was throwing her bag over her shoulder. When she saw he was making eye contact with her she smiled and grabbed her bow and arrows.
Sesshoumaru turned his attention back to Rin who had her hands clasped together and she was on her knees. "Fine Rin, just be back before sunset."
Rin jumped up and yelled, "YAY! Thank you M'lord!" Sesshoumaru watched as Rin ran to Kagome and how her face lit up when she looked up at her.
'Keep her safe girl,' he thought.
Later on Kagome and Rin reached a beautiful lake that held the most lovely flowers they'd both ever seen. Rin started to jump up and down and tugged on Kagome's arm. She was eager to jump in but Kagome was just incredulous at the sight.
"Miss Kagome!" Rin yelled and pinched Kagome's leg.
"Owe!" Kagome blinked her eyes down at Rin and then sighed, "I'm sorry, lets go."
Before Kagome could finish her sentence Rin had already ran to the bank and started to disrobe. Kagome opened her mouth to speak but Rin had already jumped in the lake. She was splashing the water around her everywhere and she played with her damp hair. She twirled it around her fingers and swung it in every direction. Kagome laughed a little and patted her bag.
'She going to love all the hair products I have with me,' Kagome thought with a smile.
"Miss Kagome, hurry and join me!" Rin jumped and splashed an approaching Kagome. Rin grabbed her stomach and laughed saying, "I got you!"
Kagome looked down at her soaked clothes and said, "great." She pulled off her top and skirt and opened her bag, she grabbed her towel and wrapped it around her. She then removed the rest of her clothes and set them on some of the rocks on the bank. She then turned to Rin who was just staring at her.
Rin blushed and held her hot cheeks, "You're very pretty Miss Kagome; I wish I was as pretty as you." Rin covered her eyes as Kagome removed her towel and stepped in.
Kagome grabbed Rin's hands and pulled them away from her eyes. With a smile she said, "One day you'll be very beautiful, Rin. You are now, you'll only bloom more."
"Really?" Rin asked with joy.
Kagome nodded and splashed water at Rin. "Hahaha! Payback!"
Rin dived underwater and come up right in front of Kagome, "No fair!" She jumped in Kagome's arms and knocked her down. They came up coughing and laughing. This play went on for most of the time they were there and sunset was approaching, and then Kagome grabbed her towel, covered herself and went to her bag and came back to Rin holding soap, shampoo, and conditioner.
"What's that stuff?" Rin asked with a questioning expression. Kagome went on explaining what each item was but clearly Rin wasn't getting it so Kagome went right to work on cleaning her. She started to rub her down with the bar of soap and the little bubbles and suds drove Rin crazy with happiness. Kagome got her clean and dunked her underwater. She moved to her hair and started to lather it up with her shampoo. Rin would always dunk down in the water because it burned her eyes. Kagome managed with the 100's of times Rin dunked and finished up with the conditioner.
"Alright, I'm done. Go and take that towel I set out for you and start to rub your hair with it. Then use the other to dry yourself off." Kagome said starting to cleans herself with the soap.
"Okay," Rin ran to the towel and did as she was told. After she dried herself she sat on the rock and waited.
Little did they know someone was watching them from the trees. His golden eyes peered towards Rin then to Kagome. He took his eyes off Rin for good and concentrated on Kagome. He watched her as she rubbed her hair with the shampoo and how the beads of water rolled down her body. But he stayed focused on her face.
Kagome went under and washed out her hair. She rose and whiped her hair out if her face. Then came the conditioner and she preformed the same method. The demon's eyes started to wander but then returned to her face, 'There is something different about this human than any other,' he thought as he leaped to a tree closer to where she was.
Kagome heard the rustle of the tree as she rubbed the towel through her hair. She looked up and saw the yellow eyes and the long white hair, "INUYASHA SIT!" she yelled but she didn't hear the sound of the tree branches hitting him; she didn't hear him at all.
Rin looked up and said with glee, "Lord Sesshoumaru!"
Kagome opened her eyes and took a better look at the demon she mistook as Inuyasha, it was his exact opposite, Sesshoumaru. "Oh.." she blushed in embarassement and looked down. She noticed she was still indecent, "Yikes!" She grabbed her bigger towel and wrapped it around her quickly.
Sesshoumaru turned his head down and smirked, "foolish human."
Rin ran up to Sesshoumaru as he leaped down in front of Kagome. Rin smiled and said, "What brings you here M'lord?"
Sesshoumaru's eyes were locked with Kagome's. When he heard Rin he blinked and looked towards the already set sun, "I told you to be back before sunset, Rin."
Rin dropped to her knee's and said shakily, "I'm sorry Lord Sesshoumaru."
He looked at her and said, "No need for you to bow Rin, you are forgiven-," after he said this he returned to Kagome's eyes. "Surely Rin told you I wanted her back before sunset."
It was true and Kagome knew it, she was just afraid that Sesshoumaru was going to hurt her or something of the sort. She decided to lie, "Well, we were just about to leave, I just needed to get dressed."
Sesshoumaru cocked an eyebrow and said coldly, "I can smell you're lieing."
Kagome mentally slapped herself and thought, 'I forgot about that.' She just told him the truth proudly, "We were having fun until you came along and it doesn't seem you give Rin a lot of fun time. She already doesn't have any friends besides you and that toad. Sorry if we didn't come back at exactly what time you wanted us too."
Rin grabbed Kagome's leg, "you shouldn't talk to Lord Sesshoumaru like that, Miss Kagome!"
'She has no shame, and there is only the slightest bit of fear in her. My brother has found a rather interesting human to mate with,' he thought. "I see. Gather your things Rin, we're leaving."
Rin was as shocked as Kagome was at his reaction. "Yes, M'lord." She then ran off to dress in her kimono.
Kagome went to the rocks and found her clothes still wet. 'What?' she thought, 'We've been hear for hours and the sun was hot, why are they still-' Kagome gasped and looked at her bag and the lake, 'With me and Rin playing we soaked my bag and it's starting to get really cold. I don't have any clothes.'
"Just great!" Kagome said loudly and attracted Sesshoumaru attention. Rin was tieing her kimono together.
He began to walk to her and as he did he said, "why aren't you putting on that rediculous kimono?" His voice was annoyed and irritated. He looked at the towel she was in and asked, "Are you going to wear that?"
Kagome crossed her arms and said smartly, "I have no choice, all my clothes are soaked, I have nothing to-," a gust of wind rushed by and Kagome's wet skin shivered. She jumped to Sesshoumaru and leaned against his arm, "Cold, cold, cold, cold, cold!" She realized what she was doing and she metally kicked herself, 'What the heck is wrong with me!' she thought as she causiously lifted her head. When she did he was looking down at her with no particular expression.
"Sor-sorry," Kagome moved two feet away from him and prepared to get her things when another gust of wind blew, "COLDDADADADDADADA!" she yelled through her shivers. "Sooooooo cold," then she thought, 'How can it be this cold when it was hot all day?' Something warm dropped over her head. She remembered the day Inuyasha gave her his Fire-rat jacket to protect her. She felt he did it again. She turned her head and say Sesshoumaru standing next to her, shirtless.
"We shall leave now," he said and started to walk towards the trees. Rin followed him but turned for a second motioning to Kagome to hurry.
Kagome gripped the shirt and pulled it to her. "I'm coming," she said quietly. She grabbed her bag and ran up besides Sesshoumaru.
Later, Ah-Un and Jaken arrived and they all started to "look for a safe place to camp," Sesshoumaru had said.
The night was quiet besides the rustling of the trees from the wind and the sound of their feet crushing the grass beneath them. An hour after they'd started to walk, Rin started to fall alseep so she took her place atop of Ah-Un's back. Kagome was also feeling tired but she knew Sesshoumaru wouldn't let her sleep so she's pinch herself to stay awake.
'It's really cold and he doesn't have his shirt, I bet he's freezing,' Kagome thought as she walked a little closer to Sesshoumaru. She coughed then said, "Hey, you should take your shirt back, you might catch your death in this weather."
"I'm a demon, weather means nothing to me," he said keeping his attention locked on what's in front of him.
Kagome narrowed her eyes and sighed, 'They're one in the same. Never listen to reason.' "Listen, I know your a demon but demons get sick too, I guess... so- so just take back your shirt, okay!" Kagome pulled it off her head and handed it to him.
They both stopped and he turned his head, "You're cold, are you not?"
Kagome blinked and shivered a little but not because of the cold, but the softness in his voice; she had never heard before, "Uh, yes, I am."
He turned fully and stared at her. Kagome tried to keep her attention on his face but his structured chest and abbs got in the way. 'What's wrong with me, I'm acting like I've never seen a guys chest before. I've seen Inuyasha's plenty. Oh, but Sesshoumaru's is so- OH MY GOD! What am I thinking!?' Kagome argued in her mind.
"I'm not cold therefore you wear it, you have a better chance of getting sick than I," when he finished he turned and started to slowly and casually catch up with Ah-Un.
Kagome put the shirt over her head and ran up behind him saying, "Thank you." He said nothing and Kagome looked up at the sky and tried to find the moon; there was none.

What Happens Next...
Miroku gripped his staff and brought it to him. Some of the bee's buzzed hearing the shingle of it. 'I need to be more quiet; I do not wish to encounter any bee's anytime soon,' he thought. He stood and slowly began to walk backwards towards the hole in the wall that he made.
Miroku watched all sides of him as he backed up being careful not to trip. He was concentrating so hard on not waking the bee's that he tripped over his own foot. He caught himself before he could fall.
"Geez!" He said quietly then looked up. Luckily the bee's were still asleep. Miroku assumed they were still sound asleep so he turned and when he did there was a huge bee in front of him. He gasped and sweatdropped then thought, 'I need to do something that will disable it from calling the others to him.'
The bee was still half asleep and it's wings were hardly moving. It's buzzing was soft and soothing and Miroku got a beautiful idea.
"Rock-a-bye poisonous bee in the honey hive, Miroky just wanted to say hi. Now rest your um- wings so you wont fall and there will be no other bee friends for you to call... To kill me." 'I hope me changing Kagome's song does the trick with this thing.'
The bee's eyes closed and it fell to the ground and hummed the same tune with it's buzz.
Miroku sighed and walked around it. "Thank god for Kagome," he said and walked out, once he was out in the opening he was blown back by the force of Raikou's recent attack on Kouga.
He landed on top of the bee and it woke with anger. It started to buzz so loud that Miroku screamed in agony and covered his ears. Once it's high buzzing ended he was surrounded by all the bee's and there expression were just as angry as the first.
"This isn't good!" Miroku yelled and held his staff defensively in front of him. 'I hope the others are holding out.' Miroku knocked down one bee and thought, 'Be safe Sango.'
Kouga flew into the wall next to Sango. He growled at Raikou and attempted to get up but he yelled in pain. Kouga felt down his leg and reached the knot sticking up under his skin. 'Damnit, that bastard busted my leg. I wont be able to dodge those attacks,' Kouga thought as he rubbed over his now swelling leg.
Sango moaned and her eyes moved under their lids.
Shippo transformed back into his normal (cute, cuddly, adorable, irresistable) form and patted her face, "Sango, Sango, Sango! Are you okay?" He waited and she finally opened her eyes; she looked lost.
Sango raised a hand to her cheek and grabbed Shippo's tiny one, "Ship-po?"
Shippo brightened and jumped on her in a big hug. "Sango, you're alright," he said with glee.
Sango could feel her body weakening and thought, 'I was hit harder than I thought.' She turned her head slightly to the side to see Kouga trying to get up and she said lowly, "What ails you Kouga?"
Kouga heard this and turned over to Sango, their gazes met and they just stared at each other. Everything seemed to stop.
He thought, 'She's alright, but not for long. I'll save her.'
She thought, 'Why is he looking at me like that?'
Raikou stared at the two and grew angry, "She hasn't died yet? Well, I'll fix that!" He began to glow brighter and he extended his finger towards Sango, "This will be rid of her!"
Kouga heard him and he picked up Sango, ignoring his leg, and Shippo and jumped away. The lightening hit where the were and Raikou laughed.
"Ahhhh!" Kouga yelled once they stopped rolling, he gripped his leg and started to growl.
Shippo ran to his side and said with concern, "You shouldn't fight, your leg is to badly injured!"
"Shut up kid! I'll take this guy, no problem," Kouga said and got up slowly, he began to limp towards Raikou thinking, 'where the hell is that stupid Monk?'
Miroku somehow sensed what Kouga said and clenched his teeth in anger, 'If he knew where I was right now he wouldn't be complaining,' he thought. Miroku held his right hand close to him, in fear that the bee's would rip the prayer beads from his hand and they'd all be sucked in at once.
He was fighting his way towards the hole but everytime he got a little close the bee's would come in huge swarms and push him back, farther into the hive. The bee's buzzed to each other devising plans in their own way. Miroku noticed this and kept a close watch on those that were conversing but there was a moment that he didn't catch.
Miroku knocked away an approaching bee's and his out stretched staff was being pulled. Miroku began to bring his right hand to the staff and then, a bee pulled off his prayer beads.
"No!" Miroku yelled as his Wind Tunnel opened. The bee's buzzed in delight and began to fly in it. Miroku began to feel the stings within his hand and how the poison began to circulate. He dropped his hand to the floor and it began to be sucked in, but no bee's could enter. He crawled to his prayer beads near the hole and weakly put them on. Once he did he rolled out the hole and slapped a holy seal on the wall beside it.
The bee's began to ram into the shealed and burned to their death. Miroku watched and sighed in relief. Then he looked up to see Kouga being shocked back by the demon who knocked him in the wall.
Shippo looked in the direction of where Miroku was and saw him and yelled, "Miroku!"
Miroku saw Shippo running towards him and he waved his staff above him, "Shippo," he said weakly and dropped his staff.
He arrived and started to panick, "What happened to you?" he asked and then looked at the bee's behind the seal, "Oh no!" Shippo pulled out the antidote and started to pour it into Miroku's open mouth and he drunk it. Shippo stopped and placed the bottle back on his kimono, 'I hope that will be enough,' he thought.
Kouga dropped to the floor and steam flew from his body, "I can't do anything with this broken leg!" He was frustrated and he pounded his fist into the floor.
Raikou yawned and ran his fingers through his hair, "This is very boring, I would have had a better battle with that Monk," he said and lifted his hands above his head and the energy began to crackle between his hands. "That Monk should be dead, that slayer will die. You wont be able to save anyone unless you kill me!" He laughed and got ready to clap his hands together.
Kouga and Shippo watched in shock as Raikou's upper body fell to the ground, and all of him turned to ash.
They both watched the weapon that killed him and saw who it belonged to. It was Sango on her feet. She held her boomerang in front of her. She tied her sword to it and there was poison all along the blade. She smiled weakly and said, "I did it," she then began to fall.
"Sango!" they both said in unison. When they reached her she was laughing in delight.
"I'm feeling better already," she stood, with the help of Kouga and moved her fingers and balled them into fists; she started to throw punches.
Shippo was confused but he just smiled and ran back to Miroku who was trying to stand up.
Kouga smirked and said, "killing him was the only cure huh?"
Sango threw her boomerang over her shoulder and stared at him with a confused expression, "No."
Kouga sweatdropped, "What?"
"I was once hit by lightening before and I almost didn't survive. But thanks to this demon skin it just absorbs the shock into it, and I only take in a little." Sango watched his dumbfounded expression turn to a smirk.
Kouga turned saying, "whatever. You and that Monk are okay so lets get moving. By the way-" Kouga began then turned back to her and said, "try not to get hurt so much, or I'll start to worry then kill everyone and anything in my way."
Sango was shocked at what he said then she just ignored it. "Kouga, you shouldn't walk on that leg. Let me help you," she said while taking his arm and placing it behind her neck.
Kouga flushed and said, "This isn't really nessacary, I'm a demon. I don't need help from humans."
Sango sighed and held tighter to his wrist, "Now your starting to sound like Inuyasha. Just face it, sometimes demons need humans like humans need demons."
Kouga opened his mouth to argue but quickly closed it, thinking about Kagome and how she located the shard from the Birds of Paradise. He driffted away from Kagome and stared at the side of Sango's face and thought, 'how very alike they are, and yet how they're different.'
Miroku slowly approached Sango and then he stared at Kouga next to her. He began to feel jealos, "I see you're fine, and to think I was worried," he had a pitch of annoyance in his voice.
Sango stared at him with confusion, "What's wrong with you?"
Miroku still had the same tone, "Oh nothing-" then he mumbled, "I fight as hard as I can to save you and you run off with wolf boy."
"What was that Monk?" Kouga growled not fully understanding what he'd said.
Shippo stared at all three of them knowing that an arguement was forming, "Why don't we get to Naraku now!"
They all looked down at him and said, "Oh yeah."
Shippo shook his head in embarrasement, "Grown-ups." After he said this the door began to creek open, and through it they saw an all too familiar baboon suit and behind him were his two faithful minions: Kanna, Kagura, and Kohaku.
Once Sango saw her brother she slightly growled at Naraku. She had to deal with so much pain ever since he stole her family from her. Everyday she wished she could turn back time and stop her family from going to Naraku's castle. Naraku, the evil demon born from a human caused so many lives to be destroyed.
'It is his turn to die, die for everyone he ever hurt,' Sango let go of Kouga's waist and began to move it toward her boomerang.
"Calm yourself Sango, you'll have your chance to destroy me soon enough," Naraku said in a small chuckle. He began to walk toward them slowly.
"Wait right there Naraku!" Miroku warned holding out his staff.
Naraku stopped and turned his gaze over to him, "Miroku, you are truely weak, my Simyosho (Sp?) have served their purpose upon you."
Miroku ignored his remark and pointed his staff at him, "How do we know it's really you?"
Naraku smiled beneath his mask, "I assure you that it is me, but since not knowing me real presence ails you-," he snapped his fingers and the pelt was gone. There was his dark purple and black kimono and his long wavy hair. His evil orange-red eyes glowed with malace and his smile was as sinister as ever.
Shippo trembled, "It's him alright."
"Where is the Essence of Tetsusaiga?" Sango yelled trying as hard as she could to hold her urge to kill him.
All of them began to chuckle but Sango, Miroku, Kouga, and Shippo didn't find anything funny about it. They stared to each other and then Naraku spoke, "You've come to the wrong place, because the essence is no longer with me."
"You're lieing!" Sango shot at him and began to sweat. She wanted his blood on her hands.
Naraku brought forth Kanna and in her mirror showed an image of Kikyo holding the bottle and preparing the spell.
"Kikyo lives on in this world because of her hatred towards Inuyasha. I gave her the spell to be rid of not only Inuyasha but herself."
"What do you mean?" Miroku asked becoming very worried.
"If Inuyasha dies so does Kikyo because she has no life, only the purpose of killing him keeps her alive."
"I get it. I remember when the witch Urasuea said that the hatred absorbed into her bones and that's what kept her alive when Kagome's soul was taken back," Shippo said.
"Yes, young fox, when they die there will be no one in my way of taking the jewel and reigning over all."
"You're forgetting about us, you beast!" Sango said.
Naraku turned and ignored her, "The spell Kikyo made has awaken Inuyasha's demon self and now there are two of them, yet they are fighting in Inuyasha's mind. Once his demon blood destroys him there will be nothing left but a demon bent on destruction and I have a feeling Kagome will be it's first target."
"You bastard!" Kouga yelled trying to reach him but his leg made him fall face forwards.
Miroku balled his fists and yelled, "What do you plan to do with us?"
Naraku turned back to them and said, "Good question. It really would be a waste to kill you but..." Naraku paused and held out his hand. Webs shot out of his fingers and struck them all of them in the neck, but Shippo. He turned into a mouse and ran for help.
Sango dropped first then Kouga dropped his head and finally Miroku fell. They all lay motionless and looked as though they were dead.
Naraku laughed evily and yelled, "Rise my new children, RISE!" Slowly all 3 of them began to stand and their eyes were blank. They picked up their weapons and walked over to him and bowed as they passed him. Naraku watched as they lined up with the rest of his servants. "Your jobs are to find Inuyasha and make sure no one saves him. My newest addition to the family, find that young lass, Kagome, and bring her to me, alive!"
^.~
'Will we ever stop walking?!' Kagome thought to herself as her feet began to ache. They'd been walking for nearly 3 days and nights with only one break but that was only because Jaken spotted a new arm for Sesshoumaru.
Rin got extra breaks though because she got to ride on Ah-Un's back. 'It's not fair!' Kagome thought, 'he treats her like an angel and I have to walk like a slave. She gets to eat a full meal, EAT! and sleep, oh God SLEEP! I'm getting sick of it. I'm going to give that Sesshoumaru a piece of my mind.'
Kagome stood erect and walked up behind Sesshoumaru but before she could pat his back to get his attention he said, "This spot will be fine for the rest of the day. Make camp Jaken."
"Aye, M'lord!" Jaken scurred away to build and fire and find food.
Kagome just stood in that position shocked. Sesshoumaru could hear her breathing and he turned to her. Kagome fell to the ground. He looked at her with question but just turn away thinking, 'humans.'
Rin jumped off of Ah-Un and polked Kagome's face, "Are you okay Miss Kagome?"
Kagome sighed and sat up, "I'm fine Rin. Do you want to bathe in the lake over there, it'll be fun?"
Rin smiled and said, "we get to play?!"
Kagome smiled and stood up, "Yup, were I come from there are a lot of things you can do to have fun while bathing!" (A/N: If you think about that line it sounds very funny. HEHEHEHEHE!)
Rin jumped up and ran to Sesshoumaru who was leaning against a tree. "Lord Sesshoumaru! Can I go with Miss Kagome and bathe? PLEASE!" She had put on the best pleading face she could to make him say yes.
He looked over to Kagome who was throwing her bag over her shoulder. When she saw he was making eye contact with her she smiled and grabbed her bow and arrows.
Sesshoumaru turned his attention back to Rin who had her hands clasped together and she was on her knees. "Fine Rin, just be back before sunset."
Rin jumped up and yelled, "YAY! Thank you M'lord!" Sesshoumaru watched as Rin ran to Kagome and how her face lit up when she looked up at her.
'Keep her safe girl,' he thought.
Later on Kagome and Rin reached a beautiful lake that held the most lovely flowers they'd both ever seen. Rin started to jump up and down and tugged on Kagome's arm. She was eager to jump in but Kagome was just incredulous at the sight.
"Miss Kagome!" Rin yelled and pinched Kagome's leg.
"Owe!" Kagome blinked her eyes down at Rin and then sighed, "I'm sorry, lets go."
Before Kagome could finish her sentence Rin had already ran to the bank and started to disrobe. Kagome opened her mouth to speak but Rin had already jumped in the lake. She was splashing the water around her everywhere and she played with her damp hair. She twirled it around her fingers and swung it in every direction. Kagome laughed a little and patted her bag.
'She going to love all the hair products I have with me,' Kagome thought with a smile.
"Miss Kagome, hurry and join me!" Rin jumped and splashed an approaching Kagome. Rin grabbed her stomach and laughed saying, "I got you!"
Kagome looked down at her soaked clothes and said, "great." She pulled off her top and skirt and opened her bag, she grabbed her towel and wrapped it around her. She then removed the rest of her clothes and set them on some of the rocks on the bank. She then turned to Rin who was just staring at her.
Rin blushed and held her hot cheeks, "You're very pretty Miss Kagome; I wish I was as pretty as you." Rin covered her eyes as Kagome removed her towel and stepped in.
Kagome grabbed Rin's hands and pulled them away from her eyes. With a smile she said, "One day you'll be very beautiful, Rin. You are now, you'll only bloom more."
"Really?" Rin asked with joy.
Kagome nodded and splashed water at Rin. "Hahaha! Payback!"
Rin dived underwater and come up right in front of Kagome, "No fair!" She jumped in Kagome's arms and knocked her down. They came up coughing and laughing. This play went on for most of the time they were there and sunset was approaching, and then Kagome grabbed her towel, covered herself and went to her bag and came back to Rin holding soap, shampoo, and conditioner.
"What's that stuff?" Rin asked with a questioning expression. Kagome went on explaining what each item was but clearly Rin wasn't getting it so Kagome went right to work on cleaning her. She started to rub her down with the bar of soap and the little bubbles and suds drove Rin crazy with happiness. Kagome got her clean and dunked her underwater. She moved to her hair and started to lather it up with her shampoo. Rin would always dunk down in the water because it burned her eyes. Kagome managed with the 100's of times Rin dunked and finished up with the conditioner.
"Alright, I'm done. Go and take that towel I set out for you and start to rub your hair with it. Then use the other to dry yourself off." Kagome said starting to cleans herself with the soap.
"Okay," Rin ran to the towel and did as she was told. After she dried herself she sat on the rock and waited.
Little did they know someone was watching them from the trees. His golden eyes peered towards Rin then to Kagome. He took his eyes off Rin for good and concentrated on Kagome. He watched her as she rubbed her hair with the shampoo and how the beads of water rolled down her body. But he stayed focused on her face.
Kagome went under and washed out her hair. She rose and whiped her hair out if her face. Then came the conditioner and she preformed the same method. The demon's eyes started to wander but then returned to her face, 'There is something different about this human than any other,' he thought as he leaped to a tree closer to where she was.
Kagome heard the rustle of the tree as she rubbed the towel through her hair. She looked up and saw the yellow eyes and the long white hair, "INUYASHA SIT!" she yelled but she didn't hear the sound of the tree branches hitting him; she didn't hear him at all.
Rin looked up and said with glee, "Lord Sesshoumaru!"
Kagome opened her eyes and took a better look at the demon she mistook as Inuyasha, it was his exact opposite, Sesshoumaru. "Oh.." she blushed in embarassement and looked down. She noticed she was still indecent, "Yikes!" She grabbed her bigger towel and wrapped it around her quickly.
Sesshoumaru turned his head down and smirked, "foolish human."
Rin ran up to Sesshoumaru as he leaped down in front of Kagome. Rin smiled and said, "What brings you here M'lord?"
Sesshoumaru's eyes were locked with Kagome's. When he heard Rin he blinked and looked towards the already set sun, "I told you to be back before sunset, Rin."
Rin dropped to her knee's and said shakily, "I'm sorry Lord Sesshoumaru."
He looked at her and said, "No need for you to bow Rin, you are forgiven-," after he said this he returned to Kagome's eyes. "Surely Rin told you I wanted her back before sunset."
It was true and Kagome knew it, she was just afraid that Sesshoumaru was going to hurt her or something of the sort. She decided to lie, "Well, we were just about to leave, I just needed to get dressed."
Sesshoumaru cocked an eyebrow and said coldly, "I can smell you're lieing."
Kagome mentally slapped herself and thought, 'I forgot about that.' She just told him the truth proudly, "We were having fun until you came along and it doesn't seem you give Rin a lot of fun time. She already doesn't have any friends besides you and that toad. Sorry if we didn't come back at exactly what time you wanted us too."
Rin grabbed Kagome's leg, "you shouldn't talk to Lord Sesshoumaru like that, Miss Kagome!"
'She has no shame, and there is only the slightest bit of fear in her. My brother has found a rather interesting human to mate with,' he thought. "I see. Gather your things Rin, we're leaving."
Rin was as shocked as Kagome was at his reaction. "Yes, M'lord." She then ran off to dress in her kimono.
Kagome went to the rocks and found her clothes still wet. 'What?' she thought, 'We've been hear for hours and the sun was hot, why are they still-' Kagome gasped and looked at her bag and the lake, 'With me and Rin playing we soaked my bag and it's starting to get really cold. I don't have any clothes.'
"Just great!" Kagome said loudly and attracted Sesshoumaru attention. Rin was tieing her kimono together.
He began to walk to her and as he did he said, "why aren't you putting on that rediculous kimono?" His voice was annoyed and irritated. He looked at the towel she was in and asked, "Are you going to wear that?"
Kagome crossed her arms and said smartly, "I have no choice, all my clothes are soaked, I have nothing to-," a gust of wind rushed by and Kagome's wet skin shivered. She jumped to Sesshoumaru and leaned against his arm, "Cold, cold, cold, cold, cold!" She realized what she was doing and she metally kicked herself, 'What the heck is wrong with me!' she thought as she causiously lifted her head. When she did he was looking down at her with no particular expression.
"Sor-sorry," Kagome moved two feet away from him and prepared to get her things when another gust of wind blew, "COLDDADADADDADADA!" she yelled through her shivers. "Sooooooo cold," then she thought, 'How can it be this cold when it was hot all day?' Something warm dropped over her head. She remembered the day Inuyasha gave her his Fire-rat jacket to protect her. She felt he did it again. She turned her head and say Sesshoumaru standing next to her, shirtless.
"We shall leave now," he said and started to walk towards the trees. Rin followed him but turned for a second motioning to Kagome to hurry.
Kagome gripped the shirt and pulled it to her. "I'm coming," she said quietly. She grabbed her bag and ran up besides Sesshoumaru.
Later, Ah-Un and Jaken arrived and they all started to "look for a safe place to camp," Sesshoumaru had said.
The night was quiet besides the rustling of the trees from the wind and the sound of their feet crushing the grass beneath them. An hour after they'd started to walk, Rin started to fall alseep so she took her place atop of Ah-Un's back. Kagome was also feeling tired but she knew Sesshoumaru wouldn't let her sleep so she's pinch herself to stay awake.
'It's really cold and he doesn't have his shirt, I bet he's freezing,' Kagome thought as she walked a little closer to Sesshoumaru. She coughed then said, "Hey, you should take your shirt back, you might catch your death in this weather."
"I'm a demon, weather means nothing to me," he said keeping his attention locked on what's in front of him.
Kagome narrowed her eyes and sighed, 'They're one in the same. Never listen to reason.' "Listen, I know your a demon but demons get sick too, I guess... so- so just take back your shirt, okay!" Kagome pulled it off her head and handed it to him.
They both stopped and he turned his head, "You're cold, are you not?"
Kagome blinked and shivered a little but not because of the cold, but the softness in his voice; she had never heard before, "Uh, yes, I am."
He turned fully and stared at her. Kagome tried to keep her attention on his face but his structured chest and abbs got in the way. 'What's wrong with me, I'm acting like I've never seen a guys chest before. I've seen Inuyasha's plenty. Oh, but Sesshoumaru's is so- OH MY GOD! What am I thinking!?' Kagome argued in her mind.
"I'm not cold therefore you wear it, you have a better chance of getting sick than I," when he finished he turned and started to slowly and casually catch up with Ah-Un.
Kagome put the shirt over her head and ran up behind him saying, "Thank you." He said nothing and Kagome looked up at the sky and tried to find the moon; there was none.
