Journey for Destiny

Chapter 7: The Unknown Enemy

Destiny growled as the fog around her forced her back to touch against InuYasha's and Miroku's. For a couple seconds, her mind wandered from the thick fog to where Miroku's hand was.

'Oh please don't let his hand go anywhere near my butt...' She thought as a sweat drop ran down her forehead. She then forced herself to remain focused on the enemy.

"Show yourself!" Miroku yelled into the fog.

Miroku held his holy staff in front of him to block from any attacks while InuYasha unsheathed his sword and held it in front of him as well.

"Kagome?" InuYasha strained his eyes to search for Kagome.

"Over here!" Kagome's voice was heard, but she couldn't be seen.

Destiny swiveled her ears around in different directions to tune in and pick up Kagome's, Sango's, and Shippou's voice. Kirara hissed as a loud thump followed.

"Kirara!" Sango's voice called out.

Destiny ran towards her voice and bumped into a tall, muscular man that was niether InuYasha nor Miroku. He wore a full-body ninja suit that only showed his ears and eyes.

"Wench, stand clear! I want the girl who can see the jewel shards." The mysterious man informed her.

Destiny threw a punch but he dodged and caught her fist. He then twisted her arm behind her back and threw her into Kagome and Sango. All three girls fell to the ground and the fog became thinner.

"My jewel shards!" Kagome yelled out. "They're gone!"

The man began running, but the fog was clearer and InuYasha charged after him. InuYasha tackled the man to the ground but nothing was in the man's hands. Kagome looked back down at her neck and let out a nervous laugh.

"Oh... hehe...heh... the shards are right here." She said, holding the shards in her hand.

Everyone stared at her with blank looks and silence followed. InuYasha stood up and unsheathed his sword, he pointed it at the man on the ground, but he was already gone.

"Are you looking for me InuYasha?" The man said from behind InuYasha.

InuYasha turned to face the man.

"My name is Discord. I am from Thebes, Egypt and heard of the power of the Shikon no Tama." He informed them.

Destiny could smell his scent. He smelled like a giant cat, but he wasn't a demon. Discord's tail flicked to the side and the tip of it was black. His eyes were different colors. The ice blue eye sent shivers down Destiny's spine while the brown one made her feel an unknown warmth. She took a step towards him and stared at him.

"Why were you after Kagome?" Shippou asked Discord.

"I want the jewel so I may become more powerful..." He looked at Destiny and squinted his eyes. "Stop gawking you wench!"

Destiny growled. "Shut up you stupid cat! Wolves eat smart-mouthed cats like you for breakfast!"

Discord hissed, "Damn you! Watch your mouth!" He flicked his tail to the side again and then glared at Destiny from the corner of his eye.

There was something familiar about him that Destiny couldn't put her finger on. She continued to stare at him.

"What is your problem!" Discord yelled.

"Hey! Don't yell at her you damn cat!" InuYasha barked.

"I'm a cheetah! Not just some stupid cat! And... I'm a warlock!" Discord said. (( It'd be funny if he made some funny pose... )) He looked back at Destiny. "What is your name?"

"Why do you want to know?" Destiny asked suspiciously.

"Just tell me!" Discord answered.

"It's Destiny..."

Discord's eyes widened a bit and he took a few steps towards her. "You're my cousin... Destiny Ookami. I knew it."

Destiny blinked and then wagged her tail a little. "That's how I know you! You're my cousin!" She smiled and let out a little giggle of excitement as she hugged Discord.

InuYasha almost dropped his sword in shock while Sango's eyebrows raised and she smiled. "Well... this certainly is a surprise."
