Dark Universe-Ah, I get it. Good point. Tokijin is Sesshomaru's other sword, he has two. Tokijin was forged from one of Naraku's detachments fangs, it's an evil sword, that he overpowered.
Unspoiled Rini-(Laughs.) Yep.
Raine-Woah..they might band together or something, and I doubt we could stand that. Naraku will die, guarantee it.
Jay Ficlover-(Laughs.) Good points..hmm. Yes, a totally different dimension. Well, all multi timelines branch from somewhere so, I guess timelines can be felt from different dimensions too. Just because they have futures too, but since it's a different dimension it might dimmed Usagi's presence from Setsuna. Yes, I remember asking that. Oh, I can, thank you. Well, who would you like to be the main character then?
Flame Ivy Moon-Aww, I'm blushing..Thank you.
Rena Moon-Yep, the outer scouts are here, couldn't ignore their magnetic presences, now could I? I never understood the whole movement against Mamoru, I mean, I understand some of their points. As far as the brainwashing thing, and such, but he is a human so mistakes are just part of life. I honestly do not mind him one way or another. Sometimes it seems like he and Usagi don't fit, but that doesn't automatically mean he should be an enemy. Hmm, so your guy like Star Wars..who is his favorite character? Thank you for your comments. :D
Queen Diamond-(Chuckles)You're forgiven. I was just lost on the whole thing. :)
Thank you for your reviews, and no ownership.
It had been three weeks since Usagi reappeared in her home world. Renewing her old friendships, and building ones with the outer sera senshi. However, her heart grows sadden, she yearns for a presence of one that she has yet to fully admit to. Shoving her thoughts away, she watched lightly as Kikyo blushed as Mamoru accidently brushed a hand over hers to reach for something. Usagi sighed, knowing she was overdue to have a chat with both of them. Pushing away from her place on the wall she approached Mamoru, with a small understanding smile. "Excuse me, do you mind me borrowing Mamoru for a minute?" Usagi questioned the two. Kikyo winced lightly, probably recalling what Usagi told her of her prince, but Usagi gave her a comforting smile. Mamoru nodded and followed Usagi as she exited Rei's shrine.
Leaning against the banister that surrounded the shrine, Usagi let out a tight whoosh of breath. "Usako?" Mamoru ventured, and Usagi turned her attention to her first deep crush. Sighing she glanced down at her hands that gripped the banister, gathering her courage.
"Mamoru, what do you think of Kikyo?" Usagi inquired, her tone relaying nothing. Mamoru blushed a small pink, and Usagi observed it happily.
"She is sophisticated, graceful, a good archer, and.."He stated, but stopped, glancing up at her in muted shame. Usagi blocked her eyes from showing any of her thoughts and prodded Mamoru to continue. "I think she is beautiful, and that I might love her." Mamoru answered, bowing his head in shame. Usagi rested a gentle hand on his shoulder drawing his attention back to her.
"Mamo, have you told her?" Usagi inquired, smiling at him. Mamoru shook his head, but hugged her in thanks before gazing her with a studious expression. "Just let me talk to her first, before you tell her, so she doesn't feel she is betraying me." Usagi instructed, walking back in. "I wish you luck." Usagi commented, and vanished indoors. Spotting Kikyo, she walked up to her, placing a hand on the priestess's shoulder.
"Kikyo I need to speak with you." Usagi commented, leading her off to the side. "Kikyo, do you care for Mamoru?" She asked, watching as Kikyo fidgeted and gaze down. "It is alright, please tell me." Usagi pleaded, observing as Kikyo gathered her wits.
"Yes, I care for him immensely, I, I love him." Kikyo murmured glancing at her hands. Usagi hugged the girl before shoving her gently to the outer doors.
"Then go tell him." Usagi ordered. She watched happy for the would be couple, before focusing on her ginzuishou. Turning to her pensive senshi, that had been watching her, she laughed. Usagi laughed for a bit before locking gazes with Kaede. "Kaede, do you want to go back to the feudal era, or stay here?" Usagi asked. Kaede frown in thought, before locking gazes with Usagi.
"Will I stay this age?" Kaede gestured to her self. Usagi nodded, Kaede had reversed to the same age as her senshi. "Then I wish to return to the feudal era." She claimed. Usagi nodded, noting quietly that Kikyo would stay here with Mamoru. Mamoru just wasn't equipped to deal with that era, and Kikyo would want true peace.
"You do know that Kikyo will not be going." Usagi informed her, Kaede nodded. "Fine, go say good-bye to her then while I discuss something with my senshi." She added. Kaede nodded once more as Usagi focused her attention on the senshi. "Unfortunately, you cannot come with me, that would upset the balance in both worlds." She told them, her face saddening. "However, Sera Pluto has informed me, that once things have settled in the feudal world, a new solution shall present itself." Usagi commented. The senshi soaked in the information, before group hugging their leader as Kaede walked back in with Mamoru and Kikyo. Kikyo and Mamoru also joined the group hugged, before Kikyo drew to the side.
"Here, I grant you my wisdom, and my priestess powers." Kikyo stated as a pinkish glow surrounded their clasped hands. They shared one more hug, before Usagi gesture Kaede to stand beside her. Gazing once more at the assembled group, she raised the Ginzuishou and they vanished.
InuYasha nuzzled Kagome's neck from their perch on the hill. She sat in his lap staring at the horizon awaiting their companions to come back. Sango, Kohaku and Miroku, had gone hunting together, while Kirara went with Shippo to keep an eye on him as they went to retrieve water. Sure his and her minds were leaden with Naraku's disappearance along with Usagi's and the priestesses. However, they wanted to just concentrate on their peaceful moment, along with the several new shards they had rounded in their venture. InuYasha nuzzled deeper, drawing a giggle from his female companion, Kagome turned her head to rest on his shoulder. Allowing more of her neck to be expose, he instead rested his there, and together they enjoyed each other's warmth.
Kouga caught his breath as they breeched the cavern entrance of the ancients. Gesturing for the group to stay outside, he slipped in, walking proudly inside. A light appeared after a few steps, and heavy breathing made him cautious. A there headed Cerberus stood awaiting him, their tongues lolling from their mouth with promise. "Why have you intruded into the Cavern of Ancients?" It asked, flames licking at the corners of it mouths. Kouga scoffed lightly, raising an unperturbed eyebrow at it.
"I've come for the Goraishi Claws, and you're in my way." He nips out, the Cerberus growls.
"You must prove you worth." It tells him, and Kouga laughs. He rushes toward it, leaping up and dodging the impending mouth. Bouncing off the one that snaps at him, he kicks the left one, and vaults onto the back. The Cerberus growls lashing his tail, and trying unsuccessful to latch it's jowls around Kouga. As he flips behind the Cerberus, he spots the mirror that holds the Goraishi. Aligning his body with the mirror, he forcibly kicks the Cerberus out of the cave. After he rushes toward the claws, only for a frighten scream to stop him. "Kanna." He states worried, and sees the shadow of the Cerberus inclosing on the small void demoness.
Hiten watched as the bulky figure flew from the mouth of the cave. Judging it's trajectory, he grappled Kanna out of the way. They rolled gaining their bearings, and he drew out of his weapon. "Hey, dummy over here." Hiten taunted, drawing its attention away from Kagura who'd happened to be in its view. The Cerberus turned it's gaze to him with a leer, and it charged. He leapt high, sliding the tip of his blade across the back that flew under him. Hearing its angry growl, Hiten leapt back some more to give him space. That was a mistake as it's now deranged red eyes locked on the forgotten Kanna. It instead charged for the child who had dropped her mirror when she was tackled out of the way.
She screamed terrified as it's rank breath expelled over her. Kanna threw up her hands in a pointless defense and closed her eyes. Only to hear a heavy thud as the body was kicked away. She lowered her hands to see the back of Kouga standing in front of her. Wobbly the Cerberus stood, and turned a calculating gaze on Kouga. "Why didn't you retrieve the claws when you had the chance?" It asked.
Kouga stood tall with an unimpressed leer. "I wouldn't sacrifice my friends for power." He sneered at it. The Cerberus laughed in its throat, as it shook its three heads.
"Really, well that was your only chance, because the ancients have taken the claws from our plane." It informed him. Kouga frown lightly, but refused to move from in front of Kanna.
"Fine, I don't need it anyway, I am strong enough without them." He remarked.
"Fool!" It growled out, leaping at him.
"It is not foolish to put the lives of others before power." Kouga declared, drawing his blade and slicing at the middle head's nose. The Cerberus stopped, and fell to it's knees, small lights circling it.
"You have proven yourself worthy." Several voices encircled Kouga before dropping the claws into his stupefied hands. Kouga bowed to the cave and the passing guardian, before attaching the claws to his sash. "You must make way to the Northen Mountains, our brethren are under attack." They warned him. Kouga nodded to his group and they turned North. Quickly they took off missing the last information of the spirits. "What you seek also resides there." Was the unheard whisper.
The tense situation between father and son had not improved over the weeks. Jaken, Rin, Aun, and Shiori were careful not to set either of the two youkai lords off. Skittishly Jaken approached Sesshomaru, who slid a fierce gaze toward him. "Master...Sesshomaru, this lowly servant suggest that I along with the human children return to the castle to research on the possible whereabout of Naraku." He mumbled as he kept a weary eye on the brooding lord. A swift nod was his answer along with a sharp kick knocking him back by Aun, and the children. He hastily stood with a bow, and ordered Aun to take off.
InuTashio scoffed at the behavior of his eldest, but a sharp light halted any further action. Jaken stopped Aun in the air to focus on the blinding light that had encompassed the two lords. As the light died away, both lords were on the ground with two bodies on top of them. Jaken worried before he focused further on the two bodies, and he let out a sigh of relief.
Far upon a mountain ridge, Naraku pondered how to retrieve the last jewel fragment that laid beyond his reach in the netherworld. "Bioijin-ko, you will be serving me again." He promised, and raised the nearly full jewel to his eye level. "Foolish to leave this behind in haste." Naraku cackled out.
Oh, wonder how that jewel shard is going to be retrieved? Mamoru, and Kikyo all happy in the SM dimension. Poor senshi. Hmm...
Anyways, please enjoy and review.
Much Care,
WolfchildBlazer.
