The others had began to travel around the universe trying desperately to get a clue or lead at where Kagome was at,
"This is getting hopeless guys," said Shippo
"I agree, but we all knew that Kagome's grave would be hidden," said Miroku
"Still you think one of these idiots would know," said Inuyasha
"They are really useless aren't they?" said Kagura
"Yes"-answered Ayame
"We will set up camp right here," commanded Mitsukia
"Listen Mitsukia we know that you want to find your mother as much as we do but you need to slow down you're going to kill yourself," said Rin
"I will not have delay in finding her, now that those two worthless ingrates are gone we have a much better chance" said Mitsukia curtly even now she had no emotions
"Very Well, SET UP CAMP" yelled Ritiki as they all quickly set up a camp area
'Worthless fools' thought Mitsukia looking down upon the Earth towards the western lands.
Sesshomaru and Kurei were royally pissed,
"HOW COULD SHE DO THAT?" yelled Sesshomaru hitting his desk
"She is the Mistress and current ruler," said Kurei flipping through another spell book
"Still I am her father she had no right," he snapped back
"Yes, still we have to find a way back," said Kurei
"I agree her insolence cannot go unpunished" he said
"Besides if we do find out how to get back you can rightfully take the place as ruler"
"But I have the western lands to rule over also"
"True but you could get one of your billion soldiers to look after it, you have command over all the dead and a death army that could easily storm the Earth you could be the ruler of both death and the earth" said Kurei.
(Ok Sesshomaru is like MASSIVLY too blind sighted to actually see that she is using him shakes head , poor fluffy)
They were going through everything they could find for a way to get back to the Land of Death prophecies, scrolls, spells, anything both were now determined that they would reign over the Earth while rule the land.
Kurei inwardly smirked at the power she would have she knew deep down that she had grown to love the taiyoukai but her greed for power came above all things
"Dear, the new threat of us has started killing again however this time it is not in our land it is on a different part of the world all together" she told him
"A different part, hmm maybe it senses our new plan to defeat it," he said
"With your power it would not have a chance," said Kurei knowing that she always got what she wanted by boosting his ego
"Indeed" he said before going back to read through another scroll.
Mitsukia was informed that Sesshomaru was indeed trying to find a way back to her land
"We will make him think he is getting away with it," she said to her general as she informed him to send dead warriors through his lands sending youkai to rip at his human villages
"He will have no time to try and find a way back" finished Mitsukia
"Yes Mistress" said the soul before vanishing
"How will you handle your own kin betraying you?" she asked out loud smiling sickly before returning back to the others
"Come we will be spreading through out we will each take a partner and explore one of the planets" said Mitsukia
"Ok but who takes what?" asked Koga
"Let's see I will take Saturn, Kirara you and Shadow will take Pluto, Inuyasha you and Kikyo will take Venus, Koga and Ayame you two will take Mars, Miroku Sango you two are going to Mercury, Kohaku you and Rin will be going to explore the massive plain of Jupiter, Shippo Naomi you are going to Uranus, finally Kagura and Ritiki are going to Neptune" explained Mitsukia
"Alright" said Kagura
"You will search every square inch of the planet since they are all different capacity's we will meet back here in exactly one year if you come earlier you may center yourself at the castle" said Mitsukia letting her black scaled wings tear from her back before launching herself into the sky
"If Kagome had not gifted us with her blood we would never be able to do any of this" said Miroku also letting his true dark scaled wings show as did the others.
Some Where On Earth
A black-cloaked creature stood in the middle of a lavished room
"Soon my little Mistress" it laughed as everything around it shuddered in fear at its lust filled tone.
Mitsukia was scouting over the plains of Saturn when she happened upon a strange creature
"You there what is your name?" she demanded knowing that she was fear throughout the universe
"Rue" came her fright filled answer
"Explain, why are you out here and alone?"
"My family was killed a month ago and I have no where to go" cried the child, Mitsukia didn't waste another second before the child was on the ground his eyes frozen in terror as blood poured from his chest
"Pathetic Fool" she mused before silently moving on.
One Year Later
Mitsukia had been waiting for 182 years as the others looked over the planets
"One day there is a year here" she said in thought sighing slightly while she watched over her lands over the thousands of millenniums the lands themselves were larger then the galaxy itself getting steadily larger
"They will be back soon," she said to herself as she soared over the mist filled lands
"YOU" came an angry yell, Mitsukia looked down to see Rue so in good sense she flew down to see what he wanted
"You killed me," he growled as two older looking figures appeared next to him
"Get to your point" she said ice lacing her voice
"You just killed me, don't you feel remorse or something?" demanded Rue
"Remorse?" Mitsukia questioned truly not knowing what the emotion was
"You know feeling bad for something you did" explained the male figure apparently Rue's father
"Not once" said Mitsukia turning to leave
"You heartless witch" growled the mother causing Mitsukia to turn around facing them
"Had you really thought about it I gave your child back to you instead of leaving him out there to rot in misery" she said before launching once again into the sky.
The others were waiting for Mitsukia's return as they discussed their findings
"Did anybody find anything?" asked Rin
"Not a thing" sighed Miroku
"Yes we also found nothing" said Kikyo
"Same" said Koga
"You think that SOMEBODY would know," griped Inuyasha
"Yes, they all either really don't know or they are sworn to secrecy" said Naomi
"Yeah" said Kohaku
"Anyway we have searched throughout our solar system but we need to search on earth also," said Shippo
"That's exactly what we are going to do" came Mitsukia's icy voice as everyone turned towards her "We will begin our search tomorrow"
"Mitsukia why don't you have your warriors search?" asked Ayame
"They cannot detect her presence like we can, we have her blood" answered Mitsukia turning and leaving,
"Poor girl" said Sango
"Yes I feel bad she has had it pretty bad" said Ritiki
"Imagine if that was your existence?" said Kagura
"I would be completely insane," said Rin
"She is insane, however her insane isn't like going out and killing people insane it is more like slowly destroying everything insane," said Shippo hugging his sister
"She is killing herself from this stress" said Koga
"We can't stop her though, she wants to find Kagome more than anything" said Inuyasha closing his eyes in thought
"She won't stop until she has succeeded," said Ayame nodding
"I would say we could talk to Myoga but he was banished with the others," said Kikyo
"Who can we ask?" asked Naomi
"I have no idea…." said Kagura
"Hmm ok let's get some rest Mitsukia is going to slave drive us again," said Sango standing up along with Kirara heading towards the hot springs.
The Next Morning
Everybody was armed and ready for the day ahead
"We will be descending on Earth then we will spread out again," instructed Mitsukia
"How will we spread out?" asked Miroku
"That is for you to decide," she commanded
"Alright" said Kikyo as they all spread their black-scaled wings launching into the sky the fog filled air parting for the family of death.
As soon as they passed through the portal they were blinded by the blazing sun that threatened to burn their snow-white skin and pure essence of darkness
"Nobody go to the Western Lands I will handle that, if you should run into Sesshomaru or Kurei vanish we do not need them knowing we are on Earth" said Mitsukia
"Ok let's go" said Naomi as they melted into the shadows of the forest
'Shadows connect you to anything' Kagome had once told them
'I will be headed to the Western lands" thought Mitsukia as she entered the shadows.
She was now in the western lands searching for any clues about Kagome's whereabouts
"Miss" came a timid voice
"Speak," she commanded to the middle-aged woman
"I have heard rumors of a sacred shrine," answered the woman
"Where?"
"My son can show you the way," said the woman as a young demon came to her side
"This is Yoko he is my son he can show you the way," said the woman.
Yoko was wearing a dark blue fighting outfit he was about 3 inches taller than Mitsukia he had waist length dark blue hair, silver eyes on his forehead he had a 5 pointed star with a blue tear drop coming off the bottom point on either side of his face he had a one silver stripe and one navy blue one he had the same Elvin ears as Mitsukia.
He was armored with two kantanas on his left hip the strange thing about him was he had the same cold face that Mitsukia had his pale ivory skin gleamed in the sun.
They stared at each other for a couple of minutes before the old woman decided to speak once again "Yoko you will lead this young woman to the area of the sacred shrine"
"Young Woman?" asked Yoko looking at Mitsukia
"Yes take her," commanded the woman before turning to leave
"Even I can tell that you are older than you look," said Yoko his voice icy
"True" said Mitsukia
"How old exactly?" he questioned again
"That is none of your concern now lead me to this shrine" commanded Mitsukia
"Very well" answered Yoko stalking off in the direction of the western mountains.
The two traveled in silence for most of the day before Mitsukia decided that it was time for the living to rest that included Yoko
"Who are you?" came his question
"If you must know I am Mitsukia," she said causing a gasp to come from his throat
"Mistress Mitsukia?" he questioned
"Precisely" she answered turning to face him
"No way can the most feared creature alive be you?" he said somewhat arrogantly
"Care to test your theory?" she asked as her eyes glowed
"I do tend to test my theory" he said as he lunged at her drawing his sword as he sliced it intend on hitting Mitsukia he was met by air as her presence just disappeared
"Is that all you have?" came her mockingly cold tone
"Where are you?" he demanded as darkness began to surrounded the area, when he got no reply he closed his eyes and stretched out his senses trying to detect anything sadly he couldn't find anything as a finger tapped his shoulder causing him to whip around only to again find nothing
"Looking for me is harder than it looks," she said as he again turned around finding Mitsukia to be sitting in a tree looking casually bored
"So you have speed it doesn't prove anything" he said
"Have you even bothered to look at my markings?" she said as the glamour spell vanished showing her death markings as she opened up her contracted wings standing in her full glory she watched his aura flash with amazement before gaining control over his own icy demeanor
"So you are the true Mistress of Death," he said bowing his head slightly showing he gave her respect "Yes now we will rest here" she commanded
"How old are you?"
"Well on straight terms I am 3,285,000,000 years of age" she said
"Seriously…" he said
"Get some rest," she said before jumping into a tree
"Do you care?" he demanded
"No" came her reply before she closed her eyes in thought.
When Yoko woke up he could already smell the cooking of meat
"What is cooking?" he asked, as he looked towards a floating soul cooking his meal
"Who are you?" he demanded going to draw his sword
"I am a servant" came the dead answer
"And to answer your first question the meat that is cooking is deer" she said again her voice cold and dead
"Where is Mitsukia?"
"You will refrain of speaking of her in such a manner, you will address her as Mistress" snapped the servant her eyes temporarily shining with anger at the disrespect
"Fine" he growled slightly before getting up
"Where is the Mistress?" he asked gritting his teeth
"That I do not know, she will return when she sees fit," answered the girl handing him a slice of meat. After Yoko ate Mitsukia seemingly appeared into the valley watching him in her cold demeanor "Ready to go?" he asked as she silently jumped out of the tree and followed him out of the valley
"We should arrive at the spot in less then half a day" he said his icy voice hiding his attraction to the death mistress, there was no reply and every so often he would have to look back just to make sure that she was still behind him staring at him with icy unforgiving eyes.
They were now entering the snow-covered mountain as it began to lightly rain
"We are almost there," he said as they silently moved through the icy
"There" he said pointing down into a deep dark canyon
"There is nothing here," she said bitterly
"Exactly there is a powerful barrier surrounding the canyon," he explained
"How do you know of this?" she asked
"There is a prophecy written by my people of a canyon deep in the western mountains that holds the power of a true dark being" he said
"Your people?" she asked
"Yes I am from an ancient race of empaths a breed of elemental controlling telepaths," he said
"You're the last of your kind," she stated
"Yes, we were able to view great distances into the future" he said not even looking at her
"Are you sure this is the exact canyon?" she asked
"Positive I can sense its pull"
"I can feel a pull at my soul, it is probably trying to connect with my mothers soul," she said staring down into the darkness her eyes best at seeing in the dark were still clouded over by confusion
"Then let's go" he said as Mitsukia suddenly jumping into the canyon being blasted out by the barrier she flew into the sky doing a back flip before extending her wings floating off to the side she glared down at the glowing red barrier as electricity crackled through it
"How do we break it?" she demanded
"I have yet to figure that out I was hoping you would," he answered staring at her floating silhouette "Damn," she growled lowly
"Try attacking it" he suggested, Mitsukia nodded and drew her sword before flying straight at the barrier smashing her sword into it she was again blown back
"Darkness" she whispered as her body was encased in a thick black fog
"Now" she whispered again as her sword began to glow with hidden powers of the dead, then she charged at the barrier again smashing a hole in it she quickly entered before it closed behind her "MITSUKIA" yelled Yoko unaware of the dangers of calling her name out
"Call out the name of Shadow" she said
"What?"
"Call it"
"Alright"
"Call it loud and clear" she commanded
"SHADOW" he yelled as a huge shadow was cast on the earth while an enormous dragon floated above his head
"Shadow go get the others," commanded Mitsukai as the dragon nodded its massive head before pumping its powerful wings she flew off
"Wait for the others of my blood line to get here" she said turning around
"Your blood line?" he asked
"You will recognize them by the death mark on their foreheads" she said looking at the huge black stone shrine before she flew down towards the castle ignoring Yoko's screams for her to come back.
'Mother' thought Mitsukia as she landed infront of the door pushing the large wooden door open she entered the torch lighten corridor, in the middle of the stone room on a black marble slab of stone lay a figure dressed in a flowing black dress the figures pale skin bled out as its long black hair spread like a fan around its body
"MOTHER!" yelled Mitsukia running to her mothers side, picking up her icy hand Mitsukia let tears flow down her equally pale face
"Mother please wake up….please wake up" she whimpered as Kagome's body lay there unmoving "Why won't you wake up?" she demanded suddenly angry at her mother for not waking up
"Mitsukia" came a soft yet firm voice as she looked around to find Midoriko standing there
"What the hell is up?" she demanded
"Like we told your mother before, there can't be two creatures of pure darkness there can only be one and that is you" explained the maker of the Shikon
"I DON'T CARE I WANT MY MOTHER BACK!" screamed the Mistress power radiating from her voice throwing the sprit of Midoriko across the room
"Mistress calm down" called Midoriko
"Find a way to bring my mother back," commanded Mitsukia
"There is a way but it can only be done with the blood of her mate," said Midoriko
"She no longer has a mate," snapped Mitsukia
"Yes but it involves the blood of her former mate as much as her current mate which she doesn't have so you will have to get Sesshomaru's blood if you want to wake your mother up" said Midoriko
"Fine" she growled before looking back at her mothers sleeping figure then leaving the shrine to find her 'family' standing on the other side of the barrier passing through it she was assaulted with questions and concerns
"Yes my mother is there, she is still sleeping in order to at least wake her we need Sesshomaru's blood" explained Mitsukia
"Damn that bastard won't help us," growled Inuyasha
"Who said he would be helping us?" asked Mitsukia an evil glint in her eyes
"You're not planning on…" said Koga
"Yes we are going to take his blood whether he helps us or not" said Mitsukia smirking evilly
"Let's go then," said Sango.
They all waiting patiently in the valley as they sensed Sesshomaru's angry presence draw nearer and nearer bursting through the trees he stood on the other side as the others jumped into the trees watching as Mitsukia stood ready
"What are you doing on my lands wench?" he demanded his icy voice full of hatred
"I am here to punish you for trying to find a way back to my lands" answered Mitsukia
"Punish me?" he mocked
"Indeed" said Mitsukia before she attacked leaving Sesshomaru barely enough time to dodge
"Come on now 'daddy,'" said Mitsukia spitting out daddy as if it were poison
"Bitch" he growled drawing toukijin he countered her attacks
"This is getting boring" she said using a little more speed she sliced a deep gash in his neck before using her telekinetic powers to take the blood and put it in a rather large vile
"Thank You" she said venomously before launching into the sky with the others.
Sesshomaru stood there with his hand over his ripped neck trying to stop the bleeding
"What the hell was that about?" he demanded
"They are doing something," said Kurei who came out of the forest
"Obviously" he growled before turning around and leaving.
The came to the same canyon as before
"You know kid you can go home," said Inuyasha talking to Yoko
"In the ways of my people I need to stay in order to observe the prophecy unfolding" answered Yoko "Alright then" said Kikyo, as Mitsukia smashed a small hole through the barrier again before going through it as it snapped shut
"We will wait out here," said Miroku as the others nodded
"Alright I will ask Midoriko," said Mitsukia who flew down to the shrine again
"Midoriko I have the blood" said Mitsukia who held out the vile
"Very good now we need your blood"
"How is this going to bring her back?" demanded Mitsukia
"It will transfer the pure darkness of you two to somewhat combine so that there are two pure creatures of darkness instead of one" explained Midoriko
"Very Well" said Mitsukia who slit her hand and let the blood flow into a stone cauldron that was lying on the floor
"Now mix your blood then chant the spell of Ashoranx then dip your fingers in the blood and place it on Kagome's death mark on her forehead" instructed Midoriko
"Alright" said Mitsukia not used to taking orders.
After Mitsukia mixed the blood and watched as it crackled in anger at the contact
"Start the Chanting" said Midoriko as Mitsukia began to chant the ancient art of Ashoranx while the blood began to bubble and glow trying to destroy the other but the spell made it so that neither could win in the effort, after she was finished the spell Mitsukia reluctantly placed two fingers in the scalding mixture before walking over to her mothers unmoving body
"Awaken Mother" she whispered before placing the blood on her forehead causing a bright powerful light to shoot up from the mark crashing through the stone ceiling hitting the barrier before breaking it like glass then shooting into the sky before spreading out like paint raining through the sky the Earth was slowly engulfing in black and red light.
