A/N: sorry for the long update, thanks for all the reviews, and the reason miroku can't rely on his wind tunnel to check if Naraku is dead is in the second movie, (Naraku can get rid of the tunnel when ever he wants). On with the show!
Disclaimer: Nope still don't own...
Chapter 18: tengoku no megami (goddess of heaven)
The numerous books in the library were all useless, there was little to none useful information in any of them, so they decided to go to the sacred tree and ask the goddess. The tree was in the center of a crystal blue pond, and a faint light lit the scene.
"This is the sacred tree." spoke the priestess Koten as the others followed. Koten approached the tree, and spoke.
"In the shadows of the stars, in their holy light, free the spirits trapped within, free them from their plight... sacred tears from heaven's veil, that turn destiny's unfavorable wheel, reveal to us in this ethereal mirror the will of heaven's might!" She chanted as the world around them washed away like ink in water. Bright points of light, a sea of swirling stars peered from the blackness.
"Who has summoned me? Who has broken the seal? That magic I spun upon my sacred tree?" A woman's voice gently spoke, as a beautiful woman wearing a kimono of all colors, her black hair had many pins and other decor, a very ornate heavenly being.
"It was me the high priestess, Koten of the Daijinja Kokoro." The goddess looked away, then to the others. She looked at them then fixed her eyes on Kagura.
"You have an air flowing around you, your aura, it's pure, but you are a demon." Kokoro spoke.
"I have no idea what you are talking about." Kagura answered.
"I see, but you all must leave, I sense her the nameless one, Nanashi."
"But I thought you had the power to stop her!" Kagome asked.
"I used to, but now it would take many times more power to stop her, and still we do not have any one like Midoriko, we don't even have Amaterasu's weapons." She spoke.
"So there's nothing you can do?" Inuyasha brazenly asked.
"There is one thing, I can find her..." She spoke as she spun around and began to dance, the stars rushed by and focused on a green and blue planet.
"What is that?" Miroku asked.
"I think it's earth." Kagome answered. As the sphere closed in on the small islands of Japan.
"I didn't know the world was so big." Shippo spoke in amazement. The island focused more and were now flying above the ground, the trees were dead, and dark clouds filled the sky as a floating castle stood in the center of the whirling demonic clouds. And there she was Nanashi, standing on the castle many bright spheres surrounded her an image twisted in each one, Naraku, Menomaru, Ryukotsei, Kaguya, Tsubaki, Yura, Urasue, Goshinki, Taigokumaru, Ruri, and Hari, all twisted in agony within the orbs.
"She has found me!" Kokoro yelled as the illusion broke, Kokoro fell to the ground and Koten rushed forward to help, but a black aura surrounded her, she stood, her eyes empty and merciless.
"Foolish Kami, she led me right to all of you, ha, if you think you can defeat me, try right now." She spoke.
"Fine! I will" Inuyasha spoke as he let loose the wind scar. As the blast approached Nanashi she lifted her hand and the wind scar parted into nothing.
"You are dust in my wake, Inuyasha, if you were to fight the real me you could not even swing your sword." She spoke as she clutched her hang and Inuyasha fell to the ground.
"See Inuyasha, I need only think it and you will die, I will thrust the will into eternal purgatory. The souls of even the Kami are mere playthings. Abandon all hope, there is no way to kill me now." She spoke as her spirit left Kokoro's. Everything returned to normal. Kokoro stood.
"Do you see what you are upagainst? The only way to stop her is to thrust her into hell, for she cannot die."
"How are we supposed to do that?" Kagome asked.
"You came here for the nine cuts? Did you not, well that magic died along time ago, the only way to stop her is with the Kusanagi No Tsurugi, The Yata No Kagami, and The Yasakani No Magatama. They are all in the same place, heaven, and the only way to reach them is with Kagura.
"What do you mean, my name is Kagura."
"Is that so? What a strange coincidence, you are named Kagura? I had meant that someone must dance the sacred rituals, the Kagura. There are five kagura each one corresponds to one of the guardians of heaven, ohryu, soryu, suzaku, genbu, and byakko, the dances are each kept in the respective shrines. Find them, before it is to late, the will of Nanashi becomes stronger with each demon she seals." She spoke as she faded away.
A/N: So how was it? I know a little short, but I just don't know where I want to go with this. Anyway thanks for all of the reviews, I'll try to update soon!
