I do not own Inu-yasha or any of the characters

~ ~A Shard In Atlantis~ ~

Ch.1 Going Home & A Locket of the past

It had been a little over 2 yrs since the hunt begun. Kikyou as well as Sesshoumaru joined our little group. Sesshoumaru because of a common enemy, Kikyou for some reason inu-yasha wouldn't say but we all knew why...they were mates. But it didn't hurt, because I'm stronger now. I have control over my power and I can defend my self in hand to hand as well as sward.I'm powerful now more so then kikyou ever was. I'm not the weak girl I use to be, Sesshoumaru help me with that . After kikyou came inu-yasha and I drifted apart. It's ok though, I was never in love with Inu-yasha, It was just a big crush, that faded when I came to my senses and realized the nothing was ever going to happen between Inu-yasha and I.

So here we are, one shard left to find, Naraku and our group having the rest (kouga gave us his shards ).Now were at keada's discussing the location of the last shard. It seems while we were gone she had a vision of it location.

" So the last shard is in a place called Atlantis?" asked Miruko who seemed to be deep in thought. " but I've never heard of such a place".

" you wouldn't, only the four lords now of this place" Keada says looking at Sesshoumaru.

" So were exactly is this Atlantis?" ask Songo

" It's over the seas, That means we will be traveling by beat for about 2 months"

"That Far , huh ?" ask songo

"what I wanna know is what the hell a jewel shard is doing all the way over there?!" yelled inu-yasha as well as grumbling about stupid sea , stupid jewel shards.

"Well it does sent matter how far it is we must retrieve it." Stated Kikyou as if it wasn't obvious.

" Agree with Kikyou -sama" Said miruko 'but I too am wondering what it is doing over there, seems like a long way to travel.'

"hmm, I wonder what it's like over there" the ever curious kitsune asked out loud but echoing everyone's inside thoughs..except for Kagome's, who, while all this was happening got up and left to another room.

'I know what it's like, though it's great I'm not ready to go back .' she though before laying down to go to sleep, to dreams of memories, no to nightmares.

Day light peeked through the window as kagome prepared for the long journey ahead. Sesshoumaru being a lord had his own ship so we didn't have to worry about finding one or food.

" Kagome are you ready? Everyone is waiting outside" asked shippo ashe climb on her shoulder.

"Hurry up wench we don't have all day!!" yelled the half-deman

" inu-yasha SIT!"

"I was wondering when you going to do that again" said Songo, while miruko and sesshoumaru smirked. Though with Sesshoumaru you really couldn't tell.

"Come we are leaving " said said sesshoumaru

" Sesshoumaru will rin be joining us?" asked Kagome. Receiving a nod as her answer. Feeling a little better that shippo will have someone to play with.

Upon arriving at the ship, everyone was given there room for the trip.

Though there was not much to do on the ship everyone found something to do. Rin and shippo played .Songo, Miruko, Inu-yasha , Kikyou talked and watched the scenery . while Kagome and Sesshoumaru trained and talked.

"LAANND HOOO" yelled one of the deck crew

When they came up deck you could see everyone crowded around to see this place called Atlantis.

And it was amazing. Different from anything they have ever seen, people flying on metal demans, the people were a sight to see, especially for miruko, since everyone was half-dressed, including the women. To bad he didn't get to see much because he was soon knocked unconscious by songo.

But as soon as they got into the city grounds they were surrounded by people with masks on, yelling and speaking another language.

What the hell are they saying?" asked Inu-yasha, who was at the moment cracking his knuckles . but he wasn't the only one Sesshoumaru, songo as well as miruko looked as if they were about to charge.

" Wait. Let me handle this" Said kagome

" What the hell do you think you can do your just a." But his remark went unheard as kagome started to talk to them in their language.

"Esaelp, pots, t'nod truh ym sdneirf. Ti si I ssecnirp Kidakakosh ( Kedaq-ka-kash). Please, stop, don't hurt my friends. It is I princess Kidakakosh

"Kida?" Said the one in the front as she took of the mask to show a beautiful woman with white hair and blue eyes.

"yes, it's me "said Kagome/kida

Dropping her weapon to hug her long term friend " it has been to long my friend"

" Sora, it has only been three years" said Kida

The girl now identified as Sora replied " Three years is way to long"

Turning to the guards Sora commands them to lower their weapons and show their princess some respect. While this was going on the group behind looked on stunned, even sesshoumaru's mask slipped.
