Chapter 11

Inuyasha, Kagome, and the others continued walking, still on the search for any sign of Mishra. They had not seen or heard any sign of their new enemy, but as always, they continued looking.

"This is taking forever." Shippo said.

"Deal with it, Shippo." Inuyasha said.

"Shippo is right, Inuyasha," Miroku said. "We have not seen or heard anything of Mishra."

"Maybe we should stop for the night," Sango said. "It's going to get dark soon."

"Maybe there's a village up ahead." Kagome said and sure enough, there was a village further up. They entered the village and looked around.

"Seems peaceful enough," Miroku said, and looked as some young and pretty woman passed. "And the occupants are very easy on the eyes. Perhaps I should ask to see if they know anything." Miroku started to head toward the women but Sango grabbed him by his ear and pulled him away.

"Your not doing anything this time, monk." Sango said as he pulled him away.

"Oh, but Sango," Miroku said, owing as Sango pulled harder.

"He'll never learn." Shippo said. The group continued walking on, finding lodging for the night. After doing so they started to relax. Then, suddenly, Inuyasha sensed something, as did Miroku and Sango.

"There is a huge demonic aura nearby," Miroku said. "It feels like its coming right near the town."

"Is it Naraku?" Sango asked.

"It is!" Inuyasha said and ran away, towards the aura.

"Inuyasha, wait for us!" Kagome called to him as the others joined as well. The followed Inuyasha and saw up ahead a visible swirl of miasma. Around them, the villagers were running away, screaming that demons were attacking. The group readied themselves as the miasma unfurled. As they looked, they saw, coming out of the miasma, Naraku, wearing his white baboon pelt.

"Naraku, you have a lot of guts coming here like this," Inuyasha said. "Now, I'll kill you once and for all!" Inuyasha began readying his sword his ultimate attack, the diamond spear blast.

"Hold, Inuyasha." Naraku said, holding out his hand in a peaceful motion. "I did not come to fight."

"Like I'll believe you." Inuyasha said and fired the diamond spear blast. Out of no where, Hakudoshi jumped in the way of the blast. But the diamond spears pierced through him and ripped him apart, penetrating even his barrier. "You're lucky Hakudoshi protected you. Now, it's your turn."
"Wait, Inuyasha." Kagome said before he could attack again. "I know this may sound weird, but, I believe Naraku."

"And that you should." Naraku said.

"Kagome, what are you talking about?" Inuyasha said.

"Something tells me, that Naraku is telling the truth." Kagome said. "We should listen to what he has to say."

"Never." Inuyasha said and prepared to attack again.

"Inuyasha, stop, I believe what Kagome says is true." Miroku said, and Sango agreed as well. "As much as it pains me to say this, we should listen to Naraku."

"If you all are done, perhaps you will listen now?" Naraku said and, begrudgingly, Inuyasha nodded. "I'll get to the point. It seems that we both have a common foe: Antu."

"We don't know any Antu," Inuyasha said. "I knew this was a trick."

"Wait, we do not know any "Antu", but we do know of a Mishra." Kagome said.

"Yes, he told me as well his name was Mishra, but he is in fact, really known as Antu." Naraku said. "I met with him and told him about the location of the remaining sacred jewel shards. But soon after, he became a threat to me but escaped before I could destroy him."
"Oh, I get it, you need our help," Inuyasha said. "Why in all the hells should we help you?"
"You are truly a fool, Inuyasha." Naraku said. Hakudoshi appeared, fully reformed, and stood next to Naraku. "He defeated all of you without any trouble, and he escape me. He is a threat to us both. He even managed to subdue your brother, Sesshomaru."

Inuyasha and the others' s eyes went wide with surprise.

How can that be possible? Inuyasha thought to himself, and knew the others were thinking the same. Could Sesshomaru really have been defeated y Antu?

"What happens to Sesshomaru does not concern me at all." Inuyasha said.

"Maybe not, but what about what happens to Kouga, or you brother, Sango, Kohaku?" Naraku said. "Antu knows of them both and will not stop until he obtains there jewel shards."

"What about your jewel shards?" Sango asked.

Naraku smiled. "That is no concern of yours. Now, will you accept my proposal?"

"Which is?" Miroku asked.

"We, temporarily, join forces to stop Antu."

Though they knew it was coming, the statement still took them by surprise.

"If everything you have told us is true," Kagome said. "I'm not sure if we have a choice."

"Remember, if you decline, you will not stand a chance against Antu," Naraku said. "You must join with me."

"How do we know you won't betray us afterwards?" Miroku said.

"You don't" Naraku said. "So, do we have a deal?"

"I guess we have to." Kagome said, and the deal was made.

Author's Note:

Hi, everyone, sorry for the long delay with writing. I hope you haven't been looking forward to my story too much. Anyway, some things I want to deal with. I'm sure many of you (or perhaps none) are thinking: "Wow, an adventurous Jedi, interesting…NOT." The thing about that is, it took me a while to figure out a good Star Wars and Inuyasha reason for a crossover, and this was the best I could come up with. Also, if you want to compare established Jedi with my made up one, look at Anakin Skywalker. He was adventurous Jedi as well, and look what happened to him. Hopefully, the same thing doesn't happen to Antu. Hopefully you'll continue reading and find out. Please write reviews, and hope you enjoy my story.
