Chapter 6

Kira woke up to Jaken and Rin fighting. Knowing she would not be able to go back to sleep with them bickering she left her room and went in search of the squabbling duo. With each step their voices got louder and so it did not take her long to find them. Kira walked into the dinning hall and over to the two; wanting to get their argument sorted out before Sesshomaru returned.

Kira put her hand up, "What is going on here you two?"

Jaken stumbled slightly as he bowed, "Oh, my Lady; Rin went out by herself and did not tell me."

Kira looked at Rin, "Is this true Rin?"

Rin protested, "But my Lady, Master Jaken was talking to himself again and did not hear me say that I was going to pick flowers and take Ah-Un for a walk."

Rin glanced over at Jaken and mumbled, "Tattle Tail."

Kira turned to Jaken with a glare, "Jaken you stupid little twit! How many time must I pound it in to your tiny head, never let Rin leave the castle alone? Pay attention!"

As Kira scolded Jaken she used the little power of wind she had to lift him off the ground and then drop him hard against the cold stone floor.

Jaken slowly and painfully replied in a trembling voice, "Sorry my Lady…. Won't happen again"

Kira nodded sharply "I hope not. Just think what Lord Sesshomaru would have done if he found out."

Just as she said that Sesshomaru came walking in, "What's going on?"

"I was just teaching Jaken a lesson on letting Rin leave the castle by herself." answered Kira.

"Jaken is this true?"

"Yes M'lord" Jaken replied with a scared look on his face.

Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed, "Jaken just be glad that Kira took care of this problem. If it had been this Sesshomaru, you would be dead."

Later that day Sesshomaru made an announcement to everyone, "I will be gone for awhile. Stay here till I return."

Kira mumbled "Can I talk to you in private be for you leave?"

Sesshomaru gave her a short nod.

Kira turned to Jaken and Rin "Rin, Jaken why don't you take Ah-Un for a walk or flight around the castle for a little bit. Ah-Un could use the exercise. And I need to have a talk with Lord Sesshomaru."

Rin shrieked in reply to Kira's request; she loves to ride on the back of Ah-Un. And Jaken just mumbled "Why always me" as he and Rin left the room the castle.

Sesshomaru looked at Kira, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Kira answered him softly, "Well, it is about this strange dream I had last night."

Kira told Sesshomaru about her dream and Sesshomaru nods, "I know this. I'm going to go see the girl from your dream tonight, but not say anything to Rin or Jaken."

Kira replied in a trembling voice "I understand."

Sesshomaru couldn't believe that his theory was coming true. That night as soon as everyone was asleep, Sesshomaru left the castle and headed towards the old Bone Eaters Well. As soon as he reached the well he quickly jumped in.

The next day JoAnna woke up early and quickly put on her blue kimono with black dragon. As she walked into the kitchen she frowned when she saw that the lights were off. She reached over to turn the lights on and jumped as Kohashi and her parents screamed at the top of their lungs "Happy Birthday JoAnna!"

They were all sitting at kitchen table with a chocolate cake with white frosting on the top saying "Happy 18th Birthday JoAnna."

JoAnna's eyes filled with tears; she was so happy all she could do was smile.

Sesshomaru landed at the bottom of the old Bone-Eaters Well, in the small shrine at the Higurashi shrine. He zipped out and headed to the doors of the shrine, but decided to wait inside until JoAnna came.

After JoAnna had a piece of her cake and opened her gifts; she left to meet up with her friends, Eri, Ayumi, Yuka and Hojo, for a bite of pizza. As she ate her pizza, JoAnna heard a familiar voice whispering "Hello, JoAnna and Happy Birthday." Suddenly remember she was supposed to meet Sesshomaru, she came up with an excuse that she had to leave and ran out the door.

JoAnna hurried to the Higurashi shrine and all but ran up the stairs. At the top she bowed and greeted the monk, then headed towards the Tree of Ages.

Sesshomaru saw JoAnna bow to the monk then walk to Tree of Ages. He opened the shrine doors and made his way over to her. JoAnna heard him behind her, so she turned and started walking towards him.

Sesshomaru nodded slightly, "As I promised; I have come back to see you for your birthday."

JoAnna smiled "Thank you for coming back. I've missed you."

Sesshomaru hesitated then spoke softly, "I have come to ask you if you wanted to come back with me or stay here."

"I'd like to, but don't I have to have the Shikon Jewel or even a shard of it, to go through the well?"

Sesshomaru smirked, "Close your eyes, and put out your hand. I have a gift for you"

JoAnna did as he told her and waited.

Sesshomaru reached in to his pocket, pulled out a pouch that had the Shikon Jewel in it and placed it in her hands, "Now open your eyes."

JoAnna looked down and quickly opened the bag. She smiled as she pulled out the Shikon jewel.

"Now JoAnna, you have the Shikon jewel. But only you can decide if you want to come with me or stay here."

Before he could get another word in JoAnna shouted "Yes!"

Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow and JoAnna giggled.

"I'll go with you, there is nothing for me here." she explained.

Sesshomaru turned back to the well house, "Then let's go."

JoAnna followed Sesshomaru into the well house and the both of them quickly jumped into the well As JoAnna fell she noticed that she is getting taller, her hair is getting longer and changing colors and her kimono is changing as well from blue to red with black dragons and all through her body she can feel the powers she has.

When they reached the bottom of the well Sesshomaru noticed that it is Kira and not JoAnna.

"Kira we're bac-"

Kira waved a hand, "I know exactly where I'm at Lord Sesshomaru."

"Then lets get out of here and back to the castle."

They both jumped out of the old Bone-Eaters Well and walked calmly towards the castle. Before JoAnna and Sesshomaru jumped down in the well, Kira in the Feudal Era was picking the wild flowers just a yard and a half away from the well; but as soon as Sesshomaru and Joanna landed at the bottom of the well, the Kira in Feudal Japan vanished.

The two demons walked in the castle and were greeted by Rin and Jaken; thinking they had just gone for a walk or went out to practice.

Since Kira was missing half her soul she also had less control over her powers. Now that Kira has the other half of her soul back, she now has her full strength back, which she loves. Her demon powers are much stronger when she is in a bad mood or gets angry. Kira has a fun time beating up Jaken when ever he doses something wrong. As for Rin she treats the girl like a mother treats her child, and Sesshomaru is the one who protects Rin from harm when Jaken fails to do so. Everyday Kira would walk with Rin to the old Bone Eater's Well and pick the flowers and search for food that they don't have in their garden.

While they are out Rin has a fun time watching Kira playing around with the power to control the four elements; water, earth, fire, wind. Like summoning up a breeze to blow flower petals in the air and she repairs the ground by the well where the lighting bolt hit. Kira then remembers that she is missing her katanas. Kajyashaiku, Shikono.

She remembers the last time she had her katanas she was fighting a group of demons and humans that had surrounded her and punched her out cold and stole her katanas. The only way she can get her katanas is by finding and destroying the demons or humans that took them.

When ever Kira gets close to her katanas she can hear them calling for her sending out a pulsing tone that only she can hear. With one of her katanas she can control the four elements with an even stronger force than just by her self.

When a demon or human get a hold of Kira's katanas, they can't do any thing with them. If a human touches them the barrier surrounding them will shock the person tell they either let go or die. As for demons holding the katanas, if they can pass the barrier the katanas just simply will be like any other katana made by a sword smith, if not the barrier just shocks the hell out of them or just burns their hands and these burns can't and won't ever heal.

Back at the castle Sesshomaru, Kira, Rin and Jaken were at the table as Kira and Rin ate their supper.

Kira turned to Sesshomaru, "Lord Sesshomaru, I will be needing some assistance in the north east. I'm searching for my katanas, which were stolen from me."

Sesshomaru nodded "I see. We will head that way tomorrow, very early, I've sensed that Naraku and his minions are there."

Sesshomaru turned to Jaken and Rin "Jaken, Rin while we're there stay out of the way."

Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed, "And Jaken if you fail to keep a close watch on Rin, you will die."
