This is the 9th chapter for my fanfic!

Lady Tsukiyame's search will now begin to find her newest enemy Naraku and her grandmother's old enemy Jaakugou. Read on to find out what happens in this new chapter.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Inuyasha, this is just my own OC.

It's been awhile since Lady Tsukiyame left her homelands and her fellow tribe members to begin her travels and search for her enemies. She has found herself now searching outside the eastern lands as it was discovered that Naraku and Jaakugou were unable to be found there. Perhaps they left due to losing the battle, and were most likely around somewhere else, plotting and planning their next attack to take over the eastern lands and her throne.

Currently, there are more clouds appearing in the sky as the sunlight becomes more hidden, and the forests become shady. Drizzling began occurring as the winds started getting stronger. Subtle sounds of thunder and lightning were also heard with the temperature now being slightly cooler.

As the strong winds blew by, Lady Tsukiyame's hair and clothes moved back and forth. She continued on with her long traveling and searching for her enemies. Up ahead was a meadow where the young lady half demoness could still feel and sense the snake demon tribe's presence, even though they were no longer there.

'This must be where they resided, after being banished by my grandmother.' Lady Tsukiyame thought.

Coming across a marsh beside the meadow, Lady Tsukiyame leapt over the marsh as she headed for the meadow near a stream river to see if any whereabouts of Jaakugou and his people were there. Finally arriving at the meadow, nothing was found, except some gathered wood in different spots of the meadow that were used for campsite fires. Without a doubt, this was the place where the snake demons stayed due to homelessness and not having anywhere else to go. But what was a known fact is that Jaakugou was sealed away by former lady Amaya centuries ago, according to her mother Usagi. Usagi and Lord Izu both informed Lady Tsukiyame about this as well as everything that lead to the epic battle with the tribe, when her grandmother was in power.

She then leaves the meadow to search for the cave where Jaakugou was sealed away to see if any whereabouts of him remained. The cave where the snake demon leader was sealed was another 10 miles away. It was now beginning to drizzle very lightly as Lady Tsukiyame was leaving to head over to the cave. More sounds of thunder and lightning were heard from far away, while walking into the forests.

Now, it was so quiet and silent as there wasn't anyone outside or around due to the rainy storm. She walked peacefully as she followed Jaakugou's scent in the forests. Walking and walking and walking, the young lady half demoness finally finds the cave where he was sealed away and heads inside.

Though, it was very quiet inside the cave, the young lady half demoness could still feel and sense her enemy's presence, even though he was no longer there, and was long gone. Continuing to walk and look around, no whereabouts of the snake leader were able to be found. Every crack, corner, and stone was appearing to be dark as she continued searching and looking around. Nothing about the snake demons could be found, and so she leaves the cave.

As the young lady half demoness heads back outside, it was now dark outside due to a severe storm coming with more sounds of thunder and lightning occurring. The winds got stronger and it started raining lightly. Lady Tsukiyame continued on with the search, wondering where her tribe's enemies could have gone. She heads back into the forests and moves forward with looking for Naraku and the snake demons' leader Jaakugou. Walking in complete long silence and following the scent of her enemies, there was a hilly clearing noticed up ahead. Lady Tsukiyame walked straight ahead as there were subtle to barely heard sounds of birds, insects and small animals flying and running around to avoid the thunderstorm. It got even more cloudy and a huge boom of thunder with lightning occurred. She hasn't done solo traveling in a while, except when she does patrols of her eastern lands.

Finally, the young lady half demoness arrives at the hilly clearing to begin observing the area for the whereabouts. There was also a huge pathway that looked as if it led to a mountain that was further ahead from where she's currently searching. This mountain looked to be really sacred and she picked up on a spiritual demonic aura—a heavenly scent. Some birds were flying away at the mountain peaks. Right there and then, Lady Tsukiyame started wondering what she could discover there during her travels. Perhaps she could find someone at the mountain, who may know where Naraku and Jaakugou are, and where she can find them.

"I need to head over to that sacred mountain," Lady Tsukiyame said to herself, "I may be able to discover new information for where I can search for their whereabouts."

'I'm not yet sure where Jaakugou and Naraku have gone,' she thought, 'However, they need to be tracked down. I shall discover where they are.'

After searching in the clearing and hills, Lady Tsukiyame left to continue on down the pathway to the sacred mountain. That is when it started pouring really roughly outside as more thundering and lightning occurred. This was a cue to the young lady half demoness to get out of the storm to hold out, until it dies down. She swiftly made her way to a nearby cave, entering it to get out of the storm. Heavy rain, lightning and thunder occurred everywhere as everything was wet with small puddles appearing all over, and rivers and waterfalls flowing wildly. It continued storming wildly and severely for a while. Lady Tsukiyame was waiting calmly and patiently for the storm to eventually pass by. Seeing that the storm wouldn't be letting up anytime soon, the young lady half demoness sets up camp inside the cave for the night, going back out to find wood to start a camp fire, and then lying back comfortably to sleep. The long search will need to wait, until the next day when the severe thunderstorm dies down and passes by.

The severe storm eventually ended and the sun rose brightly in the clear blue sky the next day, waking Lady Tsukiyame up due to a stream of sunlight shining on her through a crack inside the cave. Upon waking up, she leaves to go out and fish for food in a nearby fresh stream, using a fishnet and wooden sticks to catch some wild fish in the shallow water, along with filling up her string zip-lock bag with fresh water. Being at the fresh stream, the young lady half demoness took her time fishing and collecting fresh water for drinking. Then she headed back to the cave to prepare the wild fish. Preparing the fish over the camp fire, the young lady half demoness enjoys her meal with a couple sips of water. After Lady Tsukiyame was done, the camp fire was put out with the water. Collecting her fishing net, wooden sticks and water bag, she folds them up neatly, and puts them back inside her shawl. Now, it was time to take her leave of the cave and continue on with the search and head over to the sacred mountain.

Making her way pass the fresh stream was done in a short matter of time, and Lady Tsukiyame was now back in the forests. As she walked in silence, the forests were soothing and calming to her with the bright sun shining down on her through the trees. More birds appeared as the flew away with the sounds of insects being heard, and more animals running around. Gentle breezes came by blowing through the young lady half demoness' hair and clothes, cooling her off from the heat. Then there were a couple butterflies flying around as she noticed a wooden bridge going over a river that looked like it led to a nearby human village. After arriving at a dead end, and quickly and calmly observing, it was then realized that she will need to get pass the village in order to make it to the mountain. There was no other way for Lady Tsukiyame to get by, except through this pathway. So she began walking towards the wooden bridge, which was at a short distance from where she was.

Lady Tsukiyame crosses the bridge going over the water, and finally arrives near the human village. She must check out the mountain up ahead to see if she can find someone there that may know where Naraku and Jaakugou had gone. Since her enemies were unable to be found in the eastern lands, the search will have to continue elsewhere. As she was walking down the concrete walkway connecting the bridge and the village, she saw some human children running around and playing in the village, while the men and women present, socialized and conversed with each other. They didn't even notice Lady Tsukiyame was nearby. She stood by observing another way to get to the mountain. It was so hot due to the storm that came that the young lady half demoness looked as if she were sweating.

'It looks like I'll need to find a hot spring later.' Lady Tsukiyame thought.

"There has to be a way to get around this village." she said calmly.

Scanning and looking around the area for heading back into the forest, Lady Tsukiyame finally finds a new pathway. She then starts walking again as she now sees that the new way leads to the mountain. Birds have been around and flying away from the mountain peaks the whole time she's been making her way up there.

"Children," one human woman said lovingly, "Be careful, now. Don't wander off. Stay in the village."

"You guys play nicely, now." another human woman said.

The human villagers in the village continued conversing amongst themselves as the children continued to play, and run around. Lady Tsukiyame had already begun leaving, and was now away from the human village.

Her long silent traveling and searching continued. Now being long gone away from the human village, Lady Tsukiyame finally arrived at the sacred mountain that is filled with a spiritual heavenly presence. There were more birds presently flying around and away at the mountain peaks. The evening sun shined down on the young lady half demoness through the peaks as she started looking around to see if anyone was there.

Searching around the mountain peaks, she finally discovers an empty gold storage at the top of the mountain. Lady Tsukiyame now knows this was initially the residence of a highly, holy sacred demon priestess—a demon priestess from the heavens. Not to mention the dead corpses of demon bones being present as they were on the ground. The spiritual demonic aura she sensed earlier obviously came from the heavenly demons that may had fought off the attack from Naraku a while back, in an attempt to defeat him.

"This storage is where the heavenly demons stored the weapon," Lady Tsukiyame said and concluded, "The sacred holy scepter that was once wielded by their leader. Naraku stole the weapon, when he plotted to trap and deceive me. Clearly, he was here as his scent is still present, even though he's long gone."

'Where the hell could this fool have gotten to?' she thought.

No one was no longer present at the sacred mountain as all the heavenly demons were killed by Naraku for the sacred weapon. Lady Tsukiyame leaves the mountain and wonders where she should search next. Jaakugou still has yet to be found. But the disturbance with both of them needed to be settled. There is no telling where she should go to find her enemies and destroy them.

This was the nineth chapter. Lady Tsukiyame's search for her enemies Naraku and Jaakugou will continue. This will be an adventurous travel for the young lady half demoness as she plans to defeat them. Stay tuned to see what happens.

I will be back next week with the next chapter!

Until then, bye for now!
