Chapter 4

The Black Arrow of Naraku

Rika woke up about 7:30 the next morning. It was Saturday, so she was in no rush to get ready. She walked out of her room at around 8:00 in her usual pair of jeans and white shirt with a blue heart. She began to search for Renamon around the house. Rika knew that Renamon usually slept in the guest bedroom that her mother and grandmother now considered to be her bedroom. When she didn't find Renamon there or anywhere else in the house she decided to check one more place before calling her. She went outside and after getting to the other side of the courtyard turned and smiled when she saw that Renamon sleeping beside Sesshomaru on the roof. "I'll let them sleep until after I've eaten breakfast." She thought to herself as she walked in the house. Just as she was entering the dinning room she heard the phone ring and picked it up.

The person at the other end said, "Hello, is this Rika Nonaka?"

Rika replied "Yes, and who is this?"

"This is Kagome. I was just calling to see how Sesshomaru did over at your house."

"He behaved himself and went to sleep a few minutes after he and Renamon arrived. He went to sleep on the roof, and I found out this morning that Renamon went up and joined him."

Rika heard Kagome sigh as she said, "Well at least you had it easy. Last night was a disaster over here. Souta, Shippo, and Kohaku were the only ones that behaved. Miroku was being his usual perverted self and Inuyasha got into a fight with Jaken and they practically destroyed the living room."

"Sounds pretty peaceful over there now."

"Yeah, I sat Inuyasha until he was out cold and then took Jaken and made him sleep in the well house because he was the one who started the fight, but this isn't why I called."

Rika said, "Then, why did you call?"

"Well, I think we need to get these guys introduced to the modern world since I don't know how long they are going to be here, and my mother wants them all out of the house so she can clean. So, I was hoping you could call some off your friends and we could get them to help us get these guys acquainted with the 21st century."

Rika grumbled as she said, "Fine, I'll give Takato and Henry a call, but only those two at first. I call you back when me, Renamon, and Sesshomaru are about to come over to the shrine."

"Thanks Rika, see you later."

"Bye," said Rika as she hung up the phone and was about to pick it up to dial Takato's number when she heard a knock coming from the outside gate. She went to the front gate to see Takato and Henry standing there with Guilmon, who still had his cold, and Terriermon. After dodging one of Guilmon's dangerous sneezes Rika lead the guys inside the house. Takato, Henry, followed Rika out to the court yard while Guilmon lay down to take nap and Terriermon wandered off somewhere.

After making a bit of small talk Rika said, "I have a something to ask you two?"

Takato turned towards her and said, "What is it Rika?"

Rika said, "Do you remember last weekend when you meet Inuyasha?"

Henry put his hand to his chin and said, "You mean the guy who Renamon had that sparing match with."

Rika nodded her head and said, "Yeah, him. Well he and about 8 of his friends have been brought from the feudal era to our time, and that's where I need your help. We have to help a girl named Kagome keep track of them all as she takes them out into the city."

Henry just shrugged his shoulder and said, "Well, I guess I can help. How about you?" Takato nodded his head and Rika thank them both for giving her and Kagome a hand. She was about to call Renamon when they heard a commotion coming form the roof. Soon Terriermon came running down from the roof with a very angry Sesshomaru hot on his tail.

Rika called up to Renamon who was in a much calmer state of mind and asked, "What happened?"

Renamon jumped down from the roof and said, "Terriermon was being his usual rude self, and Sesshomaru doesn't like being made fun of by such a small animal."

Rika sighed and said, "Though I can understand where Sesshomaru is coming from, I think Henry would appreciate not seeing Terriermon sliced to ribbons by the Toukijin."

Renamon nodded and waited for Terriermon and Sesshomaru to run by. She grabbed Terriermon by one of his ears and with one quick fluid motion she hurled him at Henry and knocked the green haired tamer over with his own partner. She then caught Sesshomaru by his right and only arm and said, "Ignore Terriermon, he didn't know who he was talking to, but I think he knows now."

Sesshomaru's rage instantly cooled at the feel of his hand grasping and Renamon's, but once she had released his hand he slowly walked over to where Terriermon and Henry were still sprawled out on the ground. He pulled out the Toukijin and brought the tip of the blade within an inch of Terriermon's face and said, "Will you be doing that again?"

Terriermon furiously shook his head and Sesshomaru quickly sheathed the Toukijin. He then turned to Renamon and said, "So, what are we doing today? When were in the feudal era you let me decide, but now that I'm in your time it's your call."

Renamon nodded and said, "I over heard Rika just now, and after we do a few introductions we are going to head over to where the others are, and then go out so you all can see the modern world. Now, for introductions."

Renamon pointed toward Henry, Takato, Terriermon, and Guilmon in turn and gave their names. After that was done Renamon looked toward the guys and said, "This is Sesshomaru. A full dog demon from the feudal era, and he was little patience for horse play, got it."

Henry, Takato, and Terriermon nodded their heads while Guilmon got a little closer and began to sniff, trying to get Sesshomaru's scent. Suddenly something began to tickle his nose, and he began to take in a big breath. Sesshomaru saw a bright red glow forming in the digimon's mouth and before Renamon knew it she was forced to the ground and a Pyro Sneeze had flew over top of her.

Sesshomaru was about to slay the red dinosaur digimon when Renamon held him back and said, "Give him a break. He is a few shards short of a full jewel if you know what I mean, and besides he's got a nasty cold."

Sesshomaru nodded and eased up. After a few more minutes of getting to know each other Rika popped into the house to call Kagome and once she was done they were off. Kagome's house was a fair distance away from Rika's, but because of Sesshomaru, and Guilmon presence they would have to walk to avoid causing a commotion on the subway or on a bus. As they walked Sesshomaru's face was facing straight forward, but his eyes were flying about trying to take it all in. When he first passed over the city the thick smell of a strange smoke and other smells almost overpowered him, but he knew how to turn his senses off. Before they had even left Rika's house he had dulled his sense of smell to that of a human.

This world was amazing to him. There were great metal chariots that moved without horses, buildings taller then his father in his true form, and so much more. While the others viewed the walk to Kagome's as an inconvenience, Sesshomaru thought it all went too quickly for they were at the Higoarashi shrine before the lord of the western lands even realized they had walked for quite a while. As they climbed the steps to the shrine Rika turned to Takato and Henry and said, "Now you two are here to help us keep an eye on the others from the feudal era. I expect you to be attentive and an actual help, not a burden. You got that."

Henry and Takato nodded their heads as the group reached the top steps of the shrine. Suddenly three paper sutras came flying across the court yard and attached themselves to the foreheads of Sesshomaru, Guilmon, and Terriermon. The sutras didn't do anything, but none the less Sesshomaru ran up with great speed to the Kagome's grandpa and said, "Are you quite done?"

The old man was scared stiff, but Renamon quietly appeared beside Sesshomaru and gave him a slight nudge. Sesshomaru turned his head and got the hint from Renamon to let the old man off. While this was going on Rika introduced Takato and Henry to everyone and after a few more minutes of this and Rika worked with Kagome to organize the group. Kagome would lead the group through the city and would keep tabs on Inuyasha and Shippo. Rika was assigned Sango and Kohaku. Renamon, to her great pleasure, was assigned Sesshomaru. Takato was asked to keep an eye on Miroku. Finally, Henry was assigned Rin and Jaken.

Kagome stood in front of the group and said, "Okay everyone. Here is what I've got planned. We are just going to go to a nearby park so my mother can have a chance to get the house better prepared for having so many guests over. The park is 5 blocks away, and we can't afford to have anyone get lost."

As Kagome continued Henry joked that she sounded like a teacher and Rika just rolled her eyes. Minus Sesshomaru and Inuyasha, everyone in the group was dressed in more modern cloths. Sango was dressed in a pink short sleeve with blue jeans. Kohaku was in a similar green shirt and blue jeans. Miroku was in a dark purple T-shirt with black jeans. Shippo was allowed to keep his outfit if he promises to wear a backpack to cover his tail. Rin was in a yellow shirt and blue jeans, while Jaken was basically dressed the same minus his little hat and the staff of two heads which he was forced to leave in the house.

Once Kagome had finished she led the group down the steps of the shrine and into the hustle and bustle of the city. Among the problems they encountered as they walked the 5 blocks to the park was many people giving Sesshomaru and Inuyasha strange looks, Miroku trying his hardest to free him self from Takato and Guilmon's grip to go ask a pack of girls to bare him a child, and Rin and Jaken getting separated from the group and only being found when a car almost hit them. Sesshomaru had stepped in at the last second and with one hand stopped the car dead in its track, and leaving a significant dent in the front bumper of the car.

After all this the group finally made it to the park, and they all separated to do their own things. Kagome got to answering a few questions Miroku, Kohaku, and Sango had. Rika began to play the digimon card game with Shippo. Henry, Terriermon, Guilmon, and Takato listened to Inuyasha tell them about some of the adventures the he and the others had been on in the feudal era. Rin went about picking flowers to make a necklace for Sesshomaru and Renamon, and Jaken kept an eye on Rin and also watched as Rika and Shippo played with the strangely colored sutras.

Renamon and Sesshomaru, however, left the others and went off into a nice secluded part of the park, where Sesshomaru could tell no human had been at for at least a year. They sat down on the grass in the middle of the small clearing and watched the clouds go by, just like they had done once back in the feudal era. They sat in silence for a while before Renamon asked, "So, how are you liking the modern era?"

Sesshomaru turned toward her and said, "It is interesting. Some of the stuff I saw I couldn't of dreamed of. Horseless carriages, the tall building of glass and metal, and the many other wonders of you time. I can say that there is one that tops them all, in both the feudal era and this modern era."

Renamon gave Sesshomaru a quizzical look as she asked, "Oh, and what is that?"

Sesshomaru smiled as he said, "You."

Renamon blushed as she said, "Sesshomaru, you know just how to get me flustered." Renamon and Sesshomaru then slowly snuggled together and enjoyed each others touch for some time. They soon got to talking again, and yet again Sesshomaru led Renamon into a verbal trap that got her to blush, but this time instead of telling him off she just leaned in a gave him a kiss. They kissed each other almost continuously for twenty minutes.

Renamon and Sesshomaru met back up with the others an hour later. Renamon's fur looking a little messed up and Sesshomaru just smiling at the world in general. Luckily for them no one noticed there slightly messy appearances and in a few minutes they were socializing with the others like nothing had happened

Rika had just beaten Shippo for the third time and had just put her cards up when a sudden and strange wind blew across the large grassy part of the park. Rika was about to brush it off as a gust when she heard a familiar voice say, "Inuyasha, how are you enjoying your time in modern era?"

Everyone turned their heads to see Naraku standing at the other end of the clearing, smiling at them with a grin that would make the devil shack in his boots. Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, and Renamon instantly went into action drawing their blades and putting themselves between Naraku and the others. Inuyasha snarled at Naraku as he said, "So, was you who took control of the bone eaters well?"

Naraku just nodded and said, "Yes, Inuyasha, it was me. I used the power of the sacred jewel to take control of that old well and bring you all here, out of your element. So, now its time high time the sacred jewel was whole once again. Now that I have that wolf's shards all that are left are the ones in your possession."

"Wolf's shards! You got Kouga's jewel shards?" Inuyasha asked.

Naraku smiled as she said, "That's very perceptive of you Inuyasha. Yes, I have taken the shards away from that pitiful excuse of a demon, and with their added power I now have a few new surprises up my sleeve."

Inuayasha, Sesshomaru, and Renamon tensed up and got ready for Naraku's assault, and they didn't have to wait long. Naraku transformed his hands into tentacles and launched them into the ground, and after a few seconds of nothing happening several dozen tentacles came shooting of the ground and began to attack Inuyasha, Renamon, and Sesshomaru. Naraku was smiling when he heard a strange voice shout, "Lightning Joust" a bolt of blue lighting came flying at him. He quickly reformed his hands and using another new power produced a barrier and blocked the attack. Once the dust had cleared Naraku looked over to where the attack had come from and saw a tall figure clad in silver armor and a creature as tall as a mountain and clad in green armor.

Naraku turned to them and said, "Who are you?"

The one in silver said, "I'm Gallantmon and that's Megagargelmon, and when you attack are friends you are in for a world of hurt."

Naraku just smiled as he said, "So, you are like that shaman that had a hand in my defeat last time I faced Inuyasha, Sakyuamon. Well, I think its time you see an attack I developed especially for warriors like you, who are two warriors fighting as one." Naraku pulled two metal disks from his cloths, and after mumbling something he threw them at Gallantmon and Megagargelmon. The disks attached themselves to the two mega level digimon and began to shock the two megas with a demonic energy.

After a few minutes of this the two megas were drained of so much energy they had to dedigivolve and separated. Once they had finished dedigivolving Guilmon and Terriermon were on the verge of collapsing from exhaustion. At the same time Henry and Takato were out cold from the force of the attack. This left Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, and Renamon to deal with Naraku by them selves.

Naraku slowly turned to face the trio again and said, "Now, all I have is two more surprises. Why don't we get one of them out of the way?" With that Naraku seemed to turn into a cloud of Miasma and split him self in two. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru tried attacking the clouds, but nothing happened. One was heading toward Renamon while the other was heading toward Rika. The clouds incased them, but then quickly left them and returned to where they had started. Naraku reformed into his usual self and held up his two hands. In one hand he had one long red hair, and in the other a few short yellow hairs.

He held up out the red hair and it suddenly glowed with a dark energy and transformed into a black arrow. He then took the yellow hairs and fused them with the black arrow. Inuyasha didn't wait for him to finish what he was doing because he had ran up and began to slash at him with his Tetsusaiga, and soon after Sesshomaru did the same with the Toukijin. There assault had no effect because Naraku just turned into Miasma again and reformed him self several yards away. He then looked down to the black arrow and it began to glow a dark, evil looking red. He formed his left arm into a bow and pulled the arrow taught.

Inuyasha and Sesshomaru got ready to dodge the arrow Naraku was aiming at them, but just before he released the arrow he aimed up into the sky and launched it. Inuyasha watched as the Arrow reached the top of its arch, and then stopped mid flight. It began to spin like a compass, and after a few seconds it suddenly stopped and resumed its flight.

Before Renamon, Sesshomaru, Inuyasha, or anyone else could react the arrow had struck Rika right in the shoulder. The arrow turned into a liquid and the whole arrow went through the wound into Rika's body. The injury quickly healed itself up, and Rika fell down on the ground, out cold and running a high fever.

Renamon went over to tend to Rika while Inuyasha and Sesshomaru tried to attack Naraku for the second time, but after they slashed him to pieces they found out they had been fighting a demon puppet. A demon puppet that Sesshomaru guessed had taken a long time to create due to the fact it held the same powers as the real Naraku. He quickly forgot about this and turned to help Renamon. Renamon had picked Rika up, and before anyone could say a word she was gone, taking Rika home.

Sesshomaru knew that Naraku had cast a spell on Rika, for just before Renamon had left he had sensed Rika's scent change, from that of a human's, to something like Inuyasha's. Her scent was half human, and the other half wasn't demon, but something else.
