Chapter 11 - Mikon Honsai Revealed
Everyone stood right up, but they thought they were going to be stuck there forever. They knew Naraku was gone even though they did not see him leave. Sango blinked a few times and asked, "Is everyone alright?" They all nodded including Lenos.
Suddenly Lenos looked around and saw Poa covered in blood. He rushed towards her and punched the bloody ground with anger.
Kagome walked towards Lenos and almost cried. She kneeled down beside Poa and said, "I'm sorry."
Inuyasha and the others followed Kagome. Lenos was trying to calm himself, but he was too angry that he turned into his dragon form, glared at Miroku, and yelled, "WHO HAS DONE THIS?" He growled.
"Lenos please," Sango pleaded. "None of us did this. No one witnessed the incident."
"When we were stuck on the ground, our sight was blank as well." Miroku said recovering himself.
"You mean our leader," Lenos said. "Poa has been killed and NO ONE had seen it?"
"Actually," Kagome spoke. "I have." Kagome looked down and tears fell down her face.
"So what is it, Kagome?" Inuyasha finally asked. "What happened? Do you still have the shard?" Inuyasha tried to sound as if he cared more of Poa than the shards.
"Ah ... I ... well ... ok. Poa told me to des - Sesshomaru?"
Sesshomaru alone was standing behind everyone. The wind blew his way and he held onto his fur coat. He glanced at one place to another, sniffing, then took a deep breath and sighed.
Inuyasha suspected something and thought that Sesshomaru came to kill him. "What do you want?" He questioned him. "Do you wasn't to kill me again or what? Can't you see that we're busy around here?"
Sesshomaru stopped sniffing and said. "Poa's blood is it?" He blinked and continued. "I remember it. Is she dead?"
"Unfortunately," Miroku said. "Yes she is."
"I shall bring her back." Sesshomaru said.
"Is it worth it Kagome?" Inuyasha whispered.
She ignored him and they all walked away from the body. Although Lenos did not move. He was still looking at the dead body holding her hand with his huge dragon-palm. "What was it?" He whispered to himself. He turned around and saw Sesshomaru. He looked at him and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Revive her." Sesshomaru said confidently.
"You really think you can do it?" Lenos asked him.
"I have the Tenseiga." Sesshomaru answered, but Lenos was still not happy. He did not feel any hope that she would be able to be brought back. "My Tenseiga can bring her back to life."
Still mourning, Lenos moved away and watched Sesshomaru slay Poa. She glowed and became really bright. Everyone was about to cheer, but Poa did not wake. Sesshomaru was so confused. Lenos was upset and looked even more depressed. Inuyasha and the others were shocked and confused at the same time.
Suddenly Lenos jumped. He remembered what he was thinking about earlier. He transformed back into his small form and asked Inuyasha. "You are a demon right?"
"He is only a hanyou." Shippo announced.
"Why you ... mmph." Inuyasha said shortly.
"Well I need you to cut you hand off with the Tetsuso over there," Lenos pointed out.
"Is your brain dead?" Inuyasha retorted. "You expect me to do such a stupid thing? What am I, your experiment? Ask someone else!" Inuyasha turned around and sat looking up at the sky.
"Please," Lenos pleaded. "I just need - wait. You!" Lenos spoke to Sesshomaru. "What are you?"
"He's a demon too." Shippo announced.
"I can speak for myself." Sesshomaru said. "Will this blood stuff of yours work for Poa?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Lenos said impatiently. "Just cut your hand off with the Tetsuso then you must slay her like what you did with your Tenseiga."
Sesshomaru paused for a moment and walked over to the Tetsuso. He picked it up and slashed his hand off. His blood was absorbed by the Tetsuso rapidly. He slayed Poa with the Tetsuso and saw his hand grow back right away.
Poa was glowing brightly with different colours. She was flying up in the air then fell on the ground, but Sesshomaru caught her. Poa was healed and suddenly woke up. She breathed heavily and blinked a few times knowing that she was dead a while ago. She saw Sesshomaru carrying her and blushed then she quickly got off. Everyone was relieved, but not Inuyasha. He was still furious because Sesshomaru was there playing a hero.
Suddenly a glowing ball was floating in the air. Sparks were coming out of it. It was a peach, beige and purple colour. Lenos was amazed. He tried to grab it, but a thunder spark shocked him.
Poa was still a little dizzy and was trying to put herself together. Everyone stared at the floating ball for a while. Its sparks disappeared and arms came out of it. The arms looked like a shadow and everyone thought it was harmful. A moment after, the arm stretched out for Shippo and squeezed him that he disappeared. This occurred so quickly, like in a blink of an eye, that no one noticed it.
Lenos started remembering something. Miroku said while looking at the ball. "What is that thing? What's with the arms?" He scratched his head and smiled at Poa, but she looked away.
Lenos blurted out. "Now silence." Everyone listened including Sesshomaru. "That is a jewel! I remember about it. I knew it secretly. They say that it has amazing powers. Terrible though, but great! It was created by someone who was anonymous."
Inuyasha was interested. "Powerful? But how come you can't touch it?"
"Because no one can." Everyone thought that the jewel was pointless when Lenos said that.
"Maybe the Shikon no tama can do something." Sango suggested.
"No," Kagome replied. "It's gone now. Destroyed." Everyone was shocked.
"WHAT!" Inuyasha yelled. "WHAT DID YOU DO?"
Kagome was uneasy. "I -"
"I told her to destroy it." Poa interrupted Kagome. "It was necessary and something that I had to do. Now, do not care for the sacred jewel. Something else is up there."
Inuyasha calmed himself and thought that the jewel in the air was better. "So what does that do?"
Lenos answered him. "It grants all the ambitions of anything, even humans and other things. Along with that, it gives immortality to whoever has it and creates the most powerful shield." Lenos glanced at Poa, but she did not notice.
"So if no one can touch it, there should be someONE who CAN right?" Kagome asked.
"Yes of course." Lenos said and cleared his throat. "That jewel is the Mikon Honsai. It came from a heart of a half demon, half dragon. In case you did not know, that person is you, Leader Poa."
