A Jewel Hunting We will go
Early the next morning Inuyasha, Miroku, Shippo, and Sango stood waiting for the X-Men in the well house. The ten Americans had eagerly agreed to help the others complete the Sacred Jewel the day before. Kagome looked over at Inuyasha, who was tapping his foot in his impatience. The half demon looked ready to face just about anything. Kagome then started thinking about her leaving for America.
'(Once the jewel is whole again we will have to make a wish to effectively rid the world of the cursed jewel. When that is done I will never be able to go back to the past. Inuyasha and the others will have to stay behind. That means when I leave through the well it will truly be good-bye. I will never get to see Inuyasha again.)'
The fifteen-year-old was brought out of her thoughts by the sound of the well house door opening. Kagome turned to greet the X-Men, but one look and she stopped. '(What the…)'. The ten had decided to wear their full combat uniforms, seeing as how they didn't know exactly what to expect. "What are you people wearing?" Inuyasha asked the very question the other three Japanese teens were itching to ask, but didn't ask fearing it would be rude.
"Oh, these are our fighting uniforms. We are not only a school where we learn more about our powers, but we also are on call to fight off mutants that abuse their powers and cause trouble. Kagome you'll be able to make your own design." Scott said as he pointed to his own uniform and smiled.
"(Well, shall we get started?)" Sango said as she hopped in the well. Everyone followed and soon they were all back to finish the jewel. "Were do we start?" Rogue asked Kagome once everyone was out of the well. "Well, I suppose we just travel. The only way to find a jewel piece is if we're close enough to it for me to sense it. That means around two miles." Kagome replied. They group picked a direction and started walking. The X-Men could tell this mission would take a while.
Fortunately Kagome was finding the shards fast, so by dinnertime the groups had three-fourths of the whole jewel. That was wonderful in the X-Men's opinion, but not so much to Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Inuyasha. After everyone had full stomachs they decided to see how many more jewel shards could be found before they got too tired. In a huge, huge stroke of luck with Kagome's 'jewel senses' and the X-Men they finally completed the Sacred Jewel of Four Souls. After all of the Japanese teens' hard work they had finally found the whole jewel. However, there was still the fact Naraku was still alive. Inuyasha and everyone may have thrown him off, but he was by no means dead to release the wind tunnel curse from Miroku.
"(We should try to find Naraku before we sleep. The sooner his is dead the better.)" Inuyasha said once the jewel had magically mended itself, Kagome currently had it around her neck to protect it. "(Where do you suggest we begin? We have no idea where he could have gotten anywhere by now.)" Miroku commented as the group walked along looking for any signs to said demon's whereabouts. "(Well, can't you sense evil? Try that.)" Sango interrupted. She was in no mood to listen to Inuyasha and Miroku argue mindlessly.
"(Let's do that and hurry so we can set up a camp for rest.)" Kagome said. Everyone heard and looked for anything that could help and after a while Miroku got sick of it, so he did what he did best to liven up a boring situation. The young monk crept up behind Alicia and grabbed her butt. "AHHH! (What did you do that for?)" The fifteen-year-old American shrieked as she whacked the back of his head and stomped forward and walked with her parents. When Miroku recovered from her reaction he saw Alicia's father…if looks could kill.
Sango had seen it and preceded to place a firm strike to the monk's head with her large boomerang, Hiraikotsu, she called it. With that out of his system he decided not to try it again…for the moment.
"What is that thing?" Jean questioned as she spotted black, think smog in the distance. "(That's Naraku's alright let's get closer. Let's go people)" Inuyasha ordered and everyone headed in the direction of the smog. They soon came up to it and saw that Naraku had completely demolished a village for a hide out.
"(Come out, Naraku!)" Inuyasha growled as he charged into the village. The evil monster seemed to hear Inuyasha and readily complied. "(I figured you'd find me. Let's finish this.)" Naraku seemed much weaker without his part of the jewel. "(Your dead. You're about to pay for all the pain you've caused. Die!)" Inuyasha ran right ay Naraku in a rage. "(Inuyasha, wait I have an idea. Stop.)" Kagome yelled to Inuyasha. The half demon stopped and ran back to the group and waited for Kagome to explain. "(I think the X-Men should have a go at him. He doesn't know them, that can be an advantage.)" Kagome saw Inuyasha thinking. "Alright, but I get to do the finishing blow." He replied in English. "That's fine." She replied. 'This can be a good time to try my powers.' Kagome thought with a grin.
"Alright, X-Men you heard them. Let's do it!" Scott ordered. The X-Men ran at Naraku. Lance started a diversion by knocking the evil demon off his feet with one of his earthquakes, then Jean and Kagome did a good two minutes of holding him down with their telepathy while the others all took shot at Naraku. Inuyasha, Miroku, and Sango came in to help. Naraku was soon brought to a near death state by fire attacks by both Pyro and Alex. Inuyasha then came and did his wind scar and just like that the evil that had plagued nearly all of Japan for years was gone for good.
To confirm Naraku's death Miroku showed everyone his right hand as his wind tunnel gave way to normal flesh. "It's over. Miroku I'm so happy for you!" Sango exclaimed in English. Tears came to the young woman's eyes and she embraced the shocked monk. 'I'm going to live. Thank you Buddha!' "Thank you so much." Miroku said to the X-Men. Everyone went to find a safe place to stay the night in the woods. Everything was going right for everyone. Kitty got to thinking of Kagome's relationship with her friends. Wait! I know. We don't have to destroy the jewel. We can take it back with us and hide it and never look at it again. As for Kagome's friends, I bet the professor wouldn't mind if they all came with us. That way no one has to say goodbye to anyone. Well, Kagome's family would have to stay, but Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku, and Shippo can think about coming. Shadowcat couldn't stand it; she had to ask Scott about her idea right away.
"Hey, Scott, like, wake up. I want to, like, ask you something." Kitty shook the sleeping leader until he turned over, sat up, and put on his quartz glasses. "What, Kitty, it's too late to be up." Scott noticed the wide grin on the girl's face. "Alright, do I want to know what's going on in that head of yours?" Kitty's grin got wider, if that was possible. "I just got an idea of how to make Kagome more comfortable at the mansion. Why not ask the prof if we can, like, bring them back with us?"
Scott thought for a moment. "That might work, but we need to ask right when we get back to the present, and if he says yes we'll have a lot to teach those four if their coming with. That was very thoughtful and clever idea. Let's just hope the prof will accept. Now back to bed." The leader pointed to Kitty's empty sleeping back. Scott quickly fell back asleep, but Kitty didn't think she'd be getting much sleep with all the anticipation going through her.
Yeah I have done three chapters in just a few days! I'm on a roll! Please Review so I know someone's still reading after all this time.
