This is the 20th chapter for my fanfic!

Lady Tsukiyame informs Sesshomaru and Empress Jigo Yuu about the evil villain Naraku's newest plan. Read on to find out what happens in this new chapter.

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


She stood in a sunny clearing as she was deep in thought, even though her face held no expression whatsoever and remained stoic. Thinking about the council meeting that was held back at the palace a day ago and her enemy Naraku's sadistic plan in attempt to gain a crossover throne at the expense of her and her people. That was more than enough of a reason to hunt the scum down and destroy him. Lady Tsukiyame's queendom and lands would not be safe, until both Naraku and Jaakugou are defeated.

As Lady Tsukiyame was deep in thought, a familiar presence began coming deep in the dark forests. She could feel, hear, and sense the great and powerful hell demoness from afar as well as see her shadowy figure approaching clearly.

Looking up ahead into the dark forests. Lady Tsukiyame notices a female figure coming closer and closer as she is arriving at the clearing where she stood waiting. The hell demon woman finally materializes before the young lady half demoness. The woman was slightly taller and slim with fair skin and long butt-length midnight black wavy hair, worn all down with a gold and tan floral kanzashi comb slicking some hair back to the center. Her dark mahogany eyes matched her mahogany and maroon printed kosode with her tan long hakama skirt complimenting it well. Her strappy sandals were tan and black. Lovely gold dainty face stickers looked stunning on her forehead and under her eyes. Black arm warmers that conceal her curved blades were worn underneath her sleeves. A brown and black scale pattern and laced kozane gusoku armor was worn over her clothes. She carried a sword at her left side, in her mahogany belt, tied in the back around her waist. It was no one other than Empress Jigo Yuu. She is the Empress of the Netherworld and the Underworld as well as the beloved leader of the hell demon tribe.

Now, they were facing each other. The young lady half demoness summoned the empress demoness to inform her about the evil villain Naraku's newest plan to attack.

"Good afternoon to you, Lady Tsukiyame," Empress Jigo Yuu said courtly, "How is your mother doing? How may I honor this meeting?"

"Mother is doing just fine," Lady Tsukiyame said, "I have summoned you to discuss some details about the potential dangers that are to come. It involves a lowly evil half demon."

"Potential dangers, you say?" she asked concerned.

"Yes, my empress," she nodded and explained, "There is an evil half demon who goes by the name Naraku. He seeks to gain a crossover throne and to lay claim over the eastern lands, the unworldly realms, and of course, the western lands. This lowly scum plans to attack your people and use them as bait to try and dethrone me. Him crossing paths with me a decade ago seems to have drove him to believe that by going after you and your tribe, an ally of my tribe, will make it easier for him to dethrone me and conquer my lands."

"What kind of villain is this Naraku?"

"Naraku is a half demon who was born of a human and a host of demons. He returned to the living world to pursue personal power and conquer all unworldly beings and worldly beings. Supreme conquest is what he is after. The fool honestly believes that he can threaten me into relinquishing my power and rulership over my queendom and lands by using your tribe members as bait. He had thought wrong."

"Yes, he has. I assume his whereabouts remain secret, at the moment as he is planning his trip to the unworldly realms. Meaning he may not be an easy opponent to track down."

"He is lurking around and planning his attack right now as we speak, yes. A course of action needs to occur to put an end to him. His army, however; may be troublesome to take out, since the half vermin wields a powerful spiritual weapon that he synced to the power of the sacred jewel shards he possesses. All this was done to protect his army and himself from being slain."

"Is that so?"

"Yes, Empress Jigo Yuu."

The young lady half demoness started explaining to the empress demoness that Naraku's army once served under a demon lord that ruled in the northeast, in the Axe Tiger. She then tells her that the demon samurai warriors of the Axe Tiger can only be slain by unworldly attacks or weapons due to the men being the living dead. They were dead before being resurrected by their new lord and leader, which makes them so. Finally, Empress Jigo Yuu is informed about how it would take both demonic power and spiritual power to defeat Naraku—power she does not have. But that Lady Tsukiyame does have as well as demonic powers and dark magical powers. The demon empress was slightly stunned about his gained possession of the sacred holy scepter, not believing someone like him could wield such a weapon.

Then, Lady Tsukiyame tells the empress demoness about the half vermin's plan to show up at the Sorufuruna Kogane no Hana Temple to commit his assault on her tribe during a worship service she would be hosting. It was time for a course of action for defeating Naraku to be discussed. She and Sesshomaru will need to travel to the sacred demon temple, in the netherworld, to stop their enemy. Her priority right now is destroying Naraku and keeping her lands and queendom safe. Sesshomaru's priority, of course, is to also destroy him and keep his lands and kingdom safe. Now, having all the information from her ally's daughter, Empress Jigo Yuu would need to return to her homelands, in the netherworld and underworld, and inform her fellow tribe members about Naraku's evil plan.

"Tell me, Lady Tsukiyame," Empress Jigo Yuu asked, "How did someone like this lowly half demon come to possess the sacred holy scepter? That's a weapon only wielded by the holy sacred demon priestess from long ago, or a heavenly being, is it not?"

"It's unknown how he had accomplished that," Lady Tsukiyame answered calmly, "He somehow managed to kill the holy sacred demon priestess who wielded the weapon, along with all the heavenly demons that followed her."

"Hm." the empress demoness said.

"Right now," she simply stated, "I have some important business. A plan to go undercover and stop Naraku must be enacted."

With that said, Lady Tsukiyame told the empress demoness about Lord Sesshomaru. They both would be going to her tribe's sacred demon temple, in the netherworld to go undercover. Both the young lady half demoness and the young lord demon would be tracking down Naraku to defeat him. Therefore, she told Empress Jigo Yuu that they both must attend the event to stop him.

Then Empress Jigo Yuu began informing her about the best sites at the demon temple to patrol and watch for the arrival of Naraku. All while going undercover. The meeting with the hell demon empress ended shortly afterwards. She had dematerialized before Lady Tsukiyame as she began to levitate and head back into the dark forests as she disappears.

Now, Lady Tsukiyame was leaving the clearing and heading back into the dark forests, towards her homelands. Taking the same shortest and fastest pathway, she had kept straight to return to her palace, in her homelands. Time was needed to plan an undercover. She took in what Empress Jigo Yuu told her and was deep in thought.

"Naraku, he will most likely," Lady Tsukiyame said to herself, "Make his way in the sacred demon temple through the main entrance and windows behind the stage and zaisu gallery. Most likely, he will show up with his army to attack."

'Lord Sesshomaru,' she thought, 'I must inform him about Naraku's plan and going undercover to stop him.'

…..

Meanwhile, Sesshomaru and Jaken were walking silently in the dark forests, in the eastern lands. The forests there were shadier than the forests that are in the western lands for some reason. Neither of them displayed any scruples about possibly trespassing in the young lady half demoness' lands, at least that is how it may look to her sentinels that are currently in charge of patrolling the lands right now, until she returns. But tracking down his enemy was a top concern right now, along with finding his father's tomb to lay claim over the heirloom fang the Tetsusaiga. They have traveled this far to continue the search for Naraku. Nighttime had already come. The moon shined down on them through the trees, in the clear starry skies. Some lukewarm gentle breezes came by and blew through his hair and clothes.

The young lord demon and his faithful retainer both continued going down a pathway towards a clearing up ahead to set up camp for the night. Naraku was continuing to lurk around in darkness. More time would be needed to find his whereabouts as they have had no success in doing so, yet. Jaken's two-headed staff was acting up as they were far away from the possible location of the Great Dog Demon's tomb. The staff began moving opposite from where they were headed.

"Jaken," Sesshomaru commanded, stopping and looking away, "Grab the staff, quickly."

"Yes, my lord." Jaken obeyed. Quickly running to grab hold of his staff again and return to his lord, the two kept walking in silence towards the clearing.

As they arrived in the clearing, Sesshomaru ordered Jaken to wait and had gone to find some wood for the campfire. Not long after, the young lord demon came back with the chopped wood in his hand. The little green imp demon then used his two-headed staff to start the campfire. His lord had already gone to recline up against a tree before the burning fire. Jaken was sitting before the campfire as he was just about ready to fall asleep.

'Wherever that fool Naraku is,' Sesshomaru thought, 'I will hunt down that lowly and pathetic excuse for a half-breed and kill him.'

"Hmph." he said.

'I wonder where that wretch could have gone,' Jaken thought to himself, 'Lady Tsukiyame should have found something on him by now. What on earth is taking her so long?'

Jaken then had fallen asleep and was laying on the ground before the campfire. He was sleeping soundlessly and peacefully. It was so peaceful and quiet in the woods with only the sounds of some fireflies flying around, some grasshoppers, and vultures being seen and heard. Sesshomaru, of course preferred the silence just as Lady Tsukiyame did. He still sat up against the tree awake and had not fallen asleep, being deep in thought.

Suddenly, Sesshomaru stopped in his tracks as he received a transmitted message from Lady Tsukiyame, stating, "Lord Sesshomaru, Naraku is plotting and planning to compel you to relinquish your power and rulership over your kingdom. Just like in the same way he also plans to compel me to relinquish my power and rulership over my queendom. In addition, he intends to use the hell demon tribe as bait to conquer the western lands and the eastern lands as well as the unworldly realms. It is supreme conquest he is after. He seeks to gain a crossover throne. You must know that Naraku had synced his sacred holy scepter weapon to the power of the sacred jewel shards he has in his possession to sustain the life of his army. This was done to protect his army and himself from being slain. Thus, keeping us from touching him. The only way to defeat his army is to somehow break the syncing of his spiritual weapon to the sacred jewel shards. We must travel to the netherworld and go undercover to track down Naraku and stop him. He will be showing up at the Sorufuruna Kogane no Hana Temple where a worship service will be taking place."

"Lady Tsukiyame." Sesshomaru said thoughtfully. He had just received a telepathic message from her about Naraku's evil plan.

'This fool, Naraku,' he suddenly thought coldly, 'He honestly believes that he can threaten me into relinquishing my power and rulership over my kingdom and lands by using another tribe as bait. He had foolishly mistaken.'
