Review replies: juusan'ya- thank you very much! -
Sesshomaru saw Kagome and kept walking until they were face to face.
"Where is InuYasha?" Kagome asked him,
"He's going to fight the priestess." He replied, "I need you to look after Rin so that I can go help him,"
"You want to go help InuYasha?" She half wondered,
"Yes,"
"Why?" She was almost blown away by the reasoning for his appearance.
"We need to set things straight," he said coldly.
"Alright, I guess we can look after Rin," Kagome said, "but you have to promise that you won't let anything happen to InuYasha!" She sounded a little calmer than she actually was.
"I promise," he told her. Then he bent down and said to Rin,
"Please stay with InuYasha's friends, I'll be back soon," with that said he stood up, turned on his heel and walked away into the forest.
As soon as he got to the opening in the forest he saw a small black shrine.
"I knew it," InuYasha said as he stepped closer to the shrine,
"Show yourself Tsubaki!" He yelled.
"Finally you're here, InuYasha," was the reply, "I was hoping for you to come sooner." She stepped out onto the ground.
"I thought we killed you already!" He said furiously,
"Of course you thought that you killed me," She said with a cruel smile on her lips, "in fact you did kill me, for a little," the two of them never stopped glaring at each other, "but Naraku found my ashes and made me one of his reincarnations."
"What!" He cried, he was absolutely stunned.
"It's so true, Naraku saved me from eternal death." She was now circling around InuYasha.
"InuYasha!" Called a familiar voice.
"Sesshomaru!" InuYasha called, "I'm a little busy right now!" Tsubaki looked around at the surrounding forest and said,
"Only a fool would hide, Sesshomaru!" This didn't affect Sesshomaru's plan in action.
"Are you absolutely sure Tsubaki?" He questioned. He was making sure to be as quiet as possible so that the second she was facing InuYasha he would get her from the behind.
"I hope Lord Sesshomaru is O.K.," said Rin, she and Kagome were returning to the group, both were asking the same question except Kagome was more worried about InuYasha. When they made it back to where the group was taking refuge, they were greeted by a young fox-demon,
"Kagome!" Shippo, who was a small fox-demon with a very fuzzy tail and emerald green eyes, was obviously very happy to see them.
"Shippo!" Kagome was also glad to see him. They had been separated when Shippo decided to visit with old Lady Kaede. Although Kaede was happy to see that Shippo was doing well, she couldn't stop wondering why the rest of the group didn't come.
"Miss Kagome," Rin said, "why did Shippo not wait at camp for us?" This was an unusual question, (even for Rin).
"Well I guess he couldn't wait to see us!" She exclaimed and put Shippo up onto her shoulder.
"You seem tense Tsubaki." InuYasha said calmly, "Are you scared of us?"
"Ha! Why would I be scared of a half demon and his twit of a brother!"
"You seem to be forgetting that Kagome, who is only human could basically defeat you!" Called Sesshomaru from a little to the left of Tsubaki. He was just itching to go and rip her annoying little head off.
"She only did that because of that wench Kikyo!" She screamed as she faced back to InuYasha.
'This is my chance,' Sesshomaru whispered. He then sped from behind Tsubaki and pinned her to a nearby tree.
"You…" She was distracted by what she saw behind InuYasha.
"Of course Tsubaki, I wouldn't miss your third destruction." It was Kikyo who stood behind InuYasha
"K-Kikyo!" InuYasha cried as he turned around to face her.
"Don't worry InuYasha, I'm not here to destroy you." Kikyo said dryly.
"I made sure of that." Replied Sesshomaru, who still had Tsubaki, pinned to a fairly large tree.
"Y-you ca-can n-nev-never defeat m-me." Tsubaki stammered, she was now finding it very hard to breathe.
"We already have, you old hag!" Screamed InuYasha. His little doggie ears twitched as they heard someone coming through the forest at a very fast speed.
"Where's InuYasha?" Asked Shippo, he was on his usual spot of Kagome's shoulder.
"He ran off through the forest and told us to hide until he came back," said Kagome, " and Sesshomaru went to help."
"Sesshomaru wants to help InuYasha!" Shippo yelled in shock, even though he was sitting right beside Kagome's ear. Even if Shippo was sitting right there, Kagome didn't hear him because she was too busy thinking up a plan to get to where InuYasha and Sesshomaru were.
'Maybe I can use my bike and ride down through the forest,' Kagome thought, she noticed that everyone was talking to each other and it was a perfect time to escape. Although Shozuka noticed her mother slowly walking towards the worn-out bike, she continued talking with her brother.
"Kurisu, don't you find it odd that Mommy and Daddy won't let us help them fight…" Her voice trailed off when she saw her mother disappear into the forest.
"What's wrong Shozuka?" Kurisu asked. He followed her gaze until his eyes lay on where the pink bicycle used to sit.
"Mommy left to go find Daddy." She said solemnly.
" She didn't even tell us," Kurisu's voice matched the solemness of Shozuka's.
" Sango-Sango-Sango!" They both yelled together.
"What is it?" She asked as she and Miroku came through the brush to see what was wrong.
"Mommy left to find Daddy!" Cried Shozuka blowing a strand of hair from her face.
"Oh,dear God!" Screamed Sango, "Miroku, we need to go and stop Kagome, before she gets herself killed!"
"I agree," Said Miroku, "but what are we going to do with the kids?"
"We'll have to take them with us," she sighed.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!" Laughed Tsubaki.
"Now what!" Exclaimed InuYasha.
"You'll die once your little wench comes, and I'll make sure that she sees every bit of it!" Whispered Tsubaki.
"We'll see who dies Tsubaki!" InuYasha screamed back, "Let her go Sesshomaru, I'll rip that filthy head off her shoulders!"
"InuYasha are really that stupid?" Questioned Kikyo darkly.
"What!" Screamed InuYasha, he was now furious at the people that surrounded him.
"I agree. If we let her go she could kill us all." Agreed Sesshomaru in his usually cold voice. InuYasha's ears twitched again as the strange form came down the hill and contained itself in the ditch that was to his left. Obviously Sesshomaru had heard the same thing, as well as Kikyo.
"It's her." Said Kikyo. There was a rustling in the bush as a woman walked out in a white skirt that now had patches of dirt on it from landing in the small ditch. She also had on a lime green tanktop that had also gotten a little less bright after a roll in the dirt. As well as having a well carved-and strung- bow, she had a quiver with about twenty newly sharpened arrows.
"Kagome what are you doing here!" Yelled InuYasha and ran over to the girl, "I told Miroku and Sango to bring everyone into the safer part of the forest!"
"I know." She said quietly, "but I had to come find you, so I left so that nobody could see me."
"So they don't even know you're gone yet!" He yelled even louder.
"Well if you keep yelling, than of course they're going to find us, you idiot!" Screamed Sesshomaru, and with that sudden emotion from the usually calm Sesshomaru made everyone quiet.
"Did he just yell at us?" Asked Kagome. She looked over InuYasha's shoulder to see Tsubaki pinned up to a large tree and being held there by Sesshomaru.
"Yes, he isn't in a very good mood," Said InuYasha, looking back at his older brother.
"Wow Kagome, I thought you would have noticed by now that I was here." Said Kikyo flatly.
"I did, I just chose to ignore you," Kagome replied in the same manner of tone.
"How sweet of you to do so, I just wish I didn't have to see your face and that ignoring you would make you leave." Said Kikyo, slowly walking towards the small group.
"Can we get this over with?" Asked Sesshomaru.
"Finally," Tsubaki whispered. Sesshomaru looked back at her instead of the others and whispered back,
"For what?"
"What is she saying Sesshomaru?" Asked Kagome as she took an arrow slowly from her quiver, Kikyo did the same.
"For THIS!" Yelled Tsubaki, her formally wounded eye took on its scar once again and started to glow.
"She's going to suck him into her eye!" Yelled Kikyo. She shot an arrow at Tsubaki who just barley missed being hit in the right arm.
"Come on kids!" Yelled Sango through one of the open doors of the small hut that served as their house for the few days that the group had come across it.
"We're coming Mom! Geez!" Cried Karasu (Care-a-sue), she was one of Miroku and Sango's two children.
"Yeah Mom! It's not our fault we were born, it's yours!" Replied Kain (K-ai-n), he was the younger of the two children born from Sango and Miroku's recklessness. Both of the children had wind tunnels in their hands because the group has not yet defeated Naraku. Karasu had her father's violet eyes and her mother's perfect sanity. Her Brown hair and facial features made her look identical to her mother, especially when she was wearing a demon exterminator's suit that was identical to Sango's. Kain was always using those chocolate brown eyes to look for women in distress, just like his sister was identical to their mother, he was a spitting image of his father, unfortunately with the same perverted mind as well. The only thing that made the children look different then their parents were the eyes.
"Let's go children!" Yelled Miroku.
"Oh, come on Dad! Why do you always side with Mom!" Whined Kain.
"Cause she is your mother, and my wife." He said plainly.
"Ya, but we're guys, you and me gotta stick together!" Kain exclaimed. Just after he said that being a great older sister, Karasu hit Kain in the back of the head for not speaking properly, "OW!" He yelled.
"You should know better by now." Karasu said to him as she was walking out of the hut to stand beside her mother.
"Well you didn't have to hit so hard." Kain whined, he went and stood beside his sister. Whack! Karasu hit Kain again, "Don't whine!" She exclaimed as the bump got bigger.
"Stop it! Karasu don't hit your brother, and Kain you should know better." Sango said to them both.
"Ya, but…"
"Kain! I told you to stop!" She yelled.
"Sango," Started Miroku. All she did was turn and glare daggers at him. "We should go."
"Miss. Sango?" Shozuka said, using her cutest voice.
"Yes Shozuka." Replied Sango.
"I was wondering, are Kurisu and I coming as well?" She asked.
"I don't see why not." Miroku piped in.
"YES!" Yelled Kurisu.
"Shut up!" Growled Shozuka at Kurisu. 'So much for being solemn' Shozuka thought to herself.
"Sorry," Replied Kurisu as he started to look at the ground. 'Stupid girl' He thought.
"We should go now." Sango and Miroku said together. They looked at the kids and started to walk.
"Try to stay close together kids." Miroku said from the front of the group.
"Yes Dad." Replied Karasu.
"Whatever." Said Kain. He had that look of his that said 'I don't give a crap.'
"KAIN!" Yelled Shozuka. Everybody looked at her startled by the sudden burst of anger from the usually sweet girl. "I can't believe that you talk to your parents like that. You should listen to them because they have fought this priestess before, and know what to do if we run into her!" She screamed at the boy.
"Wow…" He said still a little startled.
"Let's keep going," Miroku said to Sango, "the children will follow." They started to walk farther into the forest with the children close behind.
"Sesshomaru! Let her go!" Yelled Kagome.
"Never!" He yelled in reply.
"You idiot! She's going to suck you up!" InuYasha yelled at his stubborn brother.
"Sesshomaru, let her suck you up! I have an idea that will defeat her!" Yelled Kikyo as she walked closer to Tsubaki.
"What are you doing?" Asked Tsubaki in confusion.
"I am doing something that I should have done a long time ago." Kikyo said as she took her bow from her back. There was a bright white light as Sesshomaru was sucked up into Tsubaki's eye. Kikyo stopped and shielded her eyes from the blinding light. InuYasha stepped in front of Kagome with his back toward the light for his and Kagome's protection. When the light finally subsided everyone looked back at the spot where Tsubaki was now standing freely.
"She sucked him up!" Kagome yelled in disbelief.
"Mom, I'm bored." Whined Kain.
"I know, you've told me 12 times now." Sango replied.
"Well then why haven't you been saying anything?" He asked.
"Because it's easier to ignore you." Miroku said, annoyed. Kain gaped, 'WHAT?' he silently screamed.
"He's right you know." Sango agreed.
"Yea, because then we don't have to put up with your huge ego." Added Shozuka.
"You're supposed to be on my side!" Kain yelled at Shozuka.
"Oh suck it up!" She retorted, "not everybody's gonna be on your side!" She screamed.
"Yea, that's why I'm here." Kurisu said, putting his arm on the shoulder of his younger 'cousin.'
"Thanks buddy, I owe you one." He replied with fake compassion, patting Kurisu's back.
"No problem." Kurisu said happily, taking his arm from around Kain's shoulder.
"Boys." Shozuka said, rolling her big golden eyes.
