Mekonraiba stopped Holy Star near a water fall followed by Kilala with Sango and Miroku. He climbed off and walked to the river and looked into the shallow rushing water. Everyone watched him as he raised a single fist and drove it several inches in the ground and screaming, "AHHHHHHHHH! Why does he have to show his damn face around here again!"
Kagome walked over to him and placed her hand on his back and looked up at his contorted angered face and asked, "Who are you talking about?"
Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and Inuyasha all agreed with the question and Mekonraiba sighed and began to speak, "His name is Foron he once was my best friend, but that was a long time ago," Mekonraiba sat down on the ground cross legged as Kagome followed his motion but instead she was on her knees, "Foron was once the son of our high priest who was very close to my dad. He and I grew up together and shared so many laughs and pains together. My father wanted me to be the strongest I could be so he sent me deep into the mountains for training by myself…"
"How cruel! A father sending his son into the mountains just so he could get stronger." Kagome interrupted
Mekonraiba looked at her and smiled and said, "It's nothing really I was able to handle it, I knew those mountains in and out. While I was gone my kind were slaughtered mercilessly I don't how it happened, but Foron seemed to be the center of everything…"
Sango then interrupted, "How do you know that?"
Miroku inserted, "Yes it does seem unfair for you to be blaming your friend for such atrocities."
Mekonraiba held a solemn look upon his face and answered, "Yes it does seem unfair, but it is true," he reached into his pocket and pulled out a piece of parchment, "The reason I know is that the place where this was hidden only two people knew of. One was the king and he had no children of his own, and the other was the high priest, Foron's father, and I knew that Foron was told where it was."
Kagome looked at him and asked, "If that is true why would Foron want that paper? Why would he commit such atrocities?"
Mekonraiba continued his story, "This paper holds on it a secret that has been kept for thousands of years within my tribe. Foron wanted this so he could find something of great power. The crystal of which this leads to contains more power than even the Shikong Jewel."
Those words perked up Inuyasha's interest and he asked, "Really now if that is true then that means it could probably turn me full demon."
Mekonraiba shook his head and said, "No it won't its power is focused around three main principles: Creation, Destruction, and Rebirth. It is known as the tri-crystal and it is said to have the ability to turn the one who can wield its power into a God."
When they heard this silent shocked looks appeared on everyone's face. Mekonraiba stood up quickly and said, "That is why I must stop Foron. That is why he can't get his hands upon the crystal."
He turned to the direction they came from and growled a bit and said, "Damn it we have been followed!"
A loud caw was heard in the distance as the sound of snapping trees echoed through the area. Birds fled their once safe havens as the sound continued moving towards them. Inuyasha grabbed the hilt of his Tetsuaiga. Miroku's gripped tightened on his staff and Sango readied her hiraikotsu. Shippo was cowering behind Kagome as she knocked an arrow.
Suddenly a large bird head covered in white feather's with a deep blue crown of feathers on top of its head. A thud was heard as if someone was dismounting the large bird. Soft footsteps were heard heading towards them. A loud whip sound was heard through the brush slicing through the leaves and branches revealing a young red headed woman in a deep red kimono and a long whip in her right hand. At the end of the whip was a long six inch dagger. She looked around and her eyes fell upon Inuyasha and her eyes lit up and she said, "My… my… my I see that we have three worthy heads that would make a fine addition to my collection."
