Book the Fifth: Sesshomaru's Plan

"What's your problem, buddy! Put ME DOWN!" Xia shouted continuing here uneffective struggle.

They slowly approached a cave. Her attention soon veered towards the small figures in the cave below. "Lord Sesshomaru!" a little girl's voice yelled.

"Lord Sesshomaru, we're down here!"

As he landed she noticed the other person waiting for Sesshomaru.

"My Lord, is she the one?"

"Yes, Jaken." He dropped her on the ground. "Let us begin. Jaken make sure she is comfortable."

"InuYasha, why do you always do that!"

"Do what!"

"You always bother me when I just want a little privacy!"

"Well, you always get allpouty and stuff! It's weird!"

"You should be more careful with a woman's emotions!"

"I don't care about your emotions!"

InuYasha and Kagome had been fighting for at least thirty minutes. Miroku and Sango had already started a conversation about Naraku and how they were going to find him. Shippo was fast asleep.

"I bet youten more minutes."

"I'm thinking an hour…." Miroku sighed.

"I think it's over." Ruan interrupted.

"Wah! How long have you been here!"

"Just got here." She was sitting down and drawing in the dirt with her finger.

"How long have they been at it?"

"Thirty minutes," Miroku and Sango said in unison.

She stood up and walked over to the two. "Ehem," Ruan coughed politely. They didn't even notice she was there. A couple minutes went by and suddenly Ruan yelled.

"EHEM!" They both immediately stopped. "Ruan!" Kagome hugged her. "It's been such a long time! Sorry about our little fight….." InuYasha glared at her. "Whad'ya want from us?"

"Well, it's about Sesshomaru. It's an emergency." Ruan went through the whole story with them; everything that had happened, with Xianshua, up to her capturing.

"I'm really worried. I really need your help, Inu-chan!" He groaned.

"InuYasha, please help her." He glared at Kagome. "Well, if you're not going to help, I am. Let's go Ruan."

"Okay," she said walking away with Kagome. "Hey—"

They both looked back. InuYasha was standing up. "You'll get killed, baka! I'm going." Kagome kept walking stubbornly. "Hey wait up!" InuYasha took off after her and Miroku and Sango got up and followed.

"Yes!" Ruan whispered to herself.

"What the—" Xia muttered to herself as she struggled to free herself from her "cage". It was a huge crystal and she was floating around in it. I'm in liquid…? But… I can breathe just fine…… She beat against the thick barrier around her. "Let me out of here! What do you want from me?" Jaken sat staring at her annoyed. "Stop fussing around, you puny mortal. Lord Sesshomaru will use you to find the dark, then he will obtain the weapon of—"

"STOP CALLING HER THAT! SHE IS NOT AN IT!" Jaken fell back but quickly got up looking rather surprised.

"You know who the weapon of destruction is!" he yelled pointing at her.Xianshua became silent. She turned around to face the other side of her crystal. "Forget it." Everyone stood silent for a long time. Eventually, Rin spoke. "She's your friend?" Xianshua kept quiet. "I know how it is to see people you care about killed. It's really painful," she said as she walked over to the crystal. "Are you going to stare at the wall forever, Xianshua-san?" Rin had a point. Xia had been so concerned about staying silent, that she didn't even notice that the other side of the crystal faced a dark dingy cave wall. She turned around gently touching the glass. Her surroundings seemed to be completely different now that she took the time to look closely at everything. Then she noticed that there was another crystal opposite of her. "Are you putting the dark in there…?" "Yes, miss." Rin smiled and happily ran over to Jaken. "Be nicer, Jaken. She seems sweet, considering that she hasn't killed you yet." Huh? Xia thought confused.

"Do you know who the dark is, Xia-san?" Rin said walking back over to her. She stared with so much innocence Xia wanted to hug her.

"I-….. uh…….." Then Kenshin's voice came to her mind. I don't know who the dark is. All I know is that, if you are the light, then the dark must be someone just as close to Ruan. Why hadn't she thought of it before? If she was the light…. The dark must be…….
