A/N Hey guys! I'm so verry sorry that the last chapter was soo short, I'll try to make up for it this time!
Disclaimer: I own Rachel and Arius, but nothing else in this chapter.
Thanx to rsd and P.L.S. for reviewing!!!
Chapter 25: Parting of Ways
Rachel continued her run, 'I'm getting close.' She paused and looked to the other side of the stream. 'I'm going to have to cross.'
She ran and jumped on some well-placed stones in order to make it to the other side.
********************************************************************************
Kagura followed after the girl. 'What's she up to? I was sure she was backtracking, but now she's gone in a totally different direction.
Just then, Naraku's insects flew up to her. They buzzed at her while Kagura listened intently. "Naraku wants to see me, huh?"
With one last look at the fleeing girl, she turned and followed after the bees.
********************************************************************************
The Inuyasha gang and Kouga followed the girls scent down the stream. Suddenly, Inuyasha stopped.
Kagome looked over his shoulder, (she was riding on his back) "Inuyasha, what's wrong?"
He looked confused, as did Kouga. "The scent, it seperates." Inuyasha said confusingly.
"Seperates? But how could that happen?" Kagome asked.
Sango, with Miroku and Shippou arrived on Kirara. "The girl must have went one way, then doubled back and went another." Sango said.
"Yes, but which way is she now?" Miroku said, his hand under his chin.
Kouga nodded knowingly, "There's only one thing to do, we must go our seperate ways. I'll go one way and the rest of you go the other."
Kagome looked at him worringly, and Inuyasha looked overjoyed.
"Are you sure Kouga?" Kagome asked.
"Ha, good ridance." Inuyasha said, knowing full well he wouldn't get sat with Kagome on his back.
Kouga looked at Kagome, "Don't worry, my love, I will return!" With that, he ran down the riverbank.
Inuyasha looked at his retreating form. 'That's right, wolf, she's staying with me.' He looked at Kagome, who was looking back at him.She quickly turned away when her gase met his, blushing, and he did the same.
"I uh, guess that leaves us to cross the river." He said, as Kagome held on tighter, not wanting to fall in the water.
They crossed and followed the scent of fire.
********************************************************************************
Rachel finally reached the top of a huge hill. 'It seems I'm very close.' She looked over the crest of the hill and gasped.
At the bottom of the hill were the burned out remains of a village. Some of the huts were still smoking.
"How horrible. Who could do such a thing?" She said as she entered the village. Tears formed in her eyes. "Who could be so cruel?"
She got her answer as she saw two forms step out of the shadows. She looked at them angrily. "I know you did this, your auras are tainted with death. Now, I demand to know, who are you?!"
The girl smiled, she was all white and carried a mirror. "I am Kanna, and this is Kohaku, and we've been waiting for you, soldier of flame."
'Who is the girl? And how could a couple of children destroy an entire village? Well, they won't get away with it, that I know!'
Rachel pointed at them "Well. You've found me, and you've also found your way to death!"
"MARS GALATIC POWER!"
Kanna and Kohaku shielded their eyes and prepared for battle.
********************************************************************************
Kagura finally reached the place where Naraku summoned her to. "Yes, Naraku."
Naraku looked at her. "I have a mission for you, I want you to help make sure the solder of flame and Inuyasha do not meet. I have sent Kanna and Kohaku to take care of the fire-girl. I want you to take care of Inuyasha."
Kagura bowed. "Yes, Naraku."
********************************************************************************
Inuyasha and the gang continued their path when Inuyasha stopped. "What's wrong, Inuyasha, don't tell me the scent has split again." Kagome said.
Inuyasha stared blankly in front of him. Kagome followed his gase. 'Oh, no.'
"Kikyo."
Ends Chapter 25
