Chapter 2: Hostage Situation
Kagome was rolling up the sleeping bags as everyone was waiting on her, InuYasha was the only one impatient in there.
"Damn it Kagome, hurry up!" InuYasha yelled.
"Alright, already." She said as she rolled up the last one.
InuYasha kept looking at her as she stuffed the last one in her backpack.
"Are we all ready?" Sango asked.
"Yeah, we finally ready to leave, after you took so damn long?" InuYasha asked.
"Sit."
At that moment, InuYasha's necklace glowed and he was slammed to the ground, leaving an imprint.
"Alright then, let's get going." Kagome said.
Everyone was looking at her, than at InuYasha, who was just getting up.
"Yeah, let's go." Miroku said.
When InuYasha was up, Miroku, Sango, and Shippo got on Kirara in her giant form to ride. InuYasha, however, was reluctant to carry Kagome at first, but with some "force" he agreed. When they were well on the road, Kagome looked worried.
"What's the worried look for?" InuYasha asked Kagome.
"I'm sensing the Sacred Jewel"
"How many shards are there?" InuYasha asked.
"I think its just one." Kagome said.
"There are only a few people with one Jewel Shard: Jakotsu, Renkotsu, Ginkotsu, Suikotsu, and-" Miroku said.
"Kohaku." Sango finished sadly.
Sure enough, in front of them, Kohaku was standing, his chain-scythe at hand. Everyone stopped and Sango got off Kirara, and looked directly at her brother, and saw the innocent look in his eyes. (if you've seen season 5, you'll know what I mean.)
"K- Kohaku?" Sango asked, sadness being caught in her voice.
Before her brother could take any action, a figure landed behind him. He had aqua eyes, black hair done in a ponytail like Koga's, and he had a white outfit under armor. Over the armor was a white cloth draped over his body. InuYasha looks confused when he sees him.
'This guy… he looks like Konaru.' He thought, and then pulled out Tetsusaiga.
"Who the hell are you?" InuYasha asked.
"If you must know, my name is Shizari, and I'm only here for one reason." He grabs onto Kohaku, "This kid is one of Naraku's minions. As such, he is coming with me."
He hastily runs off with Kohaku, leaving small, blue embers in the process.
"Damn it!"
"We're going after him"
Everyone looked at Sango, who was looking down at the ground.
"We all know what he's like. That was Konaru! The same guy who briebed Freddy and controlled him! And even though he's still controlled by Naraku," her tear filled eyes look to the group, "I'm not going to let him take my brother!"
"Sango…" Kagome said, her voice trailing off.
"I can't stand to see you like this Sango. But don't worry; we'll get your brother back." Miroku told her.
"Well we're not gonna do it sitting around here." InuYasha said.
And with that, they started they're search for Shizari.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Shizari brought Kohaku to a clearing and then created a barrier.
"InuYasha, as soon as you reach me, it'll be over for you."
As soon as he said that, Bankotsu came out from the forest.
"Bankotsu, why are you here? Ihaven't betrayed the plan."
"And I'm here to make sure you don't. So relax; I'm just here to watch."
Shizari glares at him for a bit until his barrier gets destroyed and some rustling in the forest breaks his focus. When he looks at where the rustling came from, 5 waves of energy break through, followed by a purple ray of light shooting out from the trees and nearly hitting him, but hits a tree behind him, and the energy waves disappear before they reach him.
'A sacred arrow? The Wind Scar? I thought they'd be longer.' Shizari thought.
Just then, the InuYasha group appeared Kagome, with bow out, on InuYasha's back, and Sango, Miroku, and Shippo were on Kirara. The first person Sango notices is Kohaku.
"Kohaku!"
As Sango runs over to Kohaku, Bankotsu blocks her path with the Banryuu.
"Sorry, but I can't let you near him."
"Bankotsu!" InuYasha yelled.
"InuYasha." Bankotsu said coolly. "I'm not here to fight you now, just to watch."
"Watch what?"
"The deaths of you and you're friends." Shizari said.
InuYasha pulls out Tetsusaiga, "Just try it."
"If you insist,It'll just make your death quicker."
Shizari raises his hand next to his face and a blue flame appears around it. As this happens, His hair turns red, fangs become visible in his smile, and a fox tail appears on him. InuYasha has a look of "What the hell?" on his face as he looks at the new Shizari.
"This guys a Fox demon?" InuYasha asks in a tone of disbelief. Even Bankotsu has a look of slight shock on his face, then he closes his eyes and says in a smile,
"That's a surprise"
Miroku walks up to InuYasha and puts his hand on his shoulder. "Use caution InuYasha. Though he is a Fox demon like Shippo, he's incredibly strong."
Sango has a look of anger on her face, "InuYasha! Take this guy!"
"Don't need to tell me twice." InuYasha raises Tetsusaiga over his head, "Wind Scar!"
The Wind Scar gets launched at Shizari with such force that InuYasha trips a bit, but it's in vain as Shizari launches a Fox Fire wave at it. When the 2 collide, there's a small explosion.
"Don't be so hasty InuYasha, try to make your life last longer." Shizari said with a smile when the smoke cleared.
"Only a fox wouldn't want to fight, seeing how weak they are."
Sango then throws Hiraikotsu at Shizari, who jumps out the way.
"Return Kohaku!"
Shizari glares at her strongly.
"I'm not sure I want to. In fact," he puts a sneer on his face, "I might kill him."
"Don't you dare!" Sango said threateningly as she catches Hiraikotsu.
"Try me."
Just then InuYasha steps in front of her. "You're fights with me Shizari!"
InuYasha launches another Wind Scar at Shizari, who jumps out of the way again.
"Damn it, I know you're weak, but this is ridiculous!"
As Shizari lands he smiles.
"Oh it's not that, I'm plenty strong." Shizari laughs a bit under his breath, "It's just that, well, how should I put this? Shippo only remembers his father, the Fox warrior Arusho, as the only family he had, along with his mother. But Arusho had another son."
Everyone looks at Shizari with looks of confusion on their faces, except InuYasha.
"You're lying!" Shippo said, "I'd remember another sibling!"
"You don't believe me? But it's the truth." Shizari said.
"And you know this, how?" InuYasha asks.
Bankotsu laughs under his breath and gets everyone's attention.
"You know what he's talking about, don't you Bankotsu?" Miroku asks.
"Why should I tell you?" Bankotsu replies.
"Because I want to know if this guy's telling the truth or just full of crap!" Shippo yells in a burst of anger, forcing everyone to look at him.
"Shippo…" Kagome says.
Bankotsu smiles, "Find that out for yourself."
"Alright Shizari," InuYasha says, changing his focus back to Shizari, "Start talking."
"Why?" Shizari asked, "I should let him look for his brother."
Kagome fires her arrow and it nearly hits Shizari, but grazes his hair.
"I say again," InuYasha said, "Start talking."
Shizari sighs and says with slight smugness, "I guess I have to break this down for you, I'm the only family left to Shippo; I'm his brother!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Hey Koga, wait up!"
Ginta and Hakkaku were out of breath (as always) from trying to keep up with their leader, Koga, who had 2 Jewel Shards in his legs making him faster than normal.
Koga looked behind him, "You guys are too slow."
"Why'd you even have to stop trying to get through the barrier of Mt. Hakurei?" Ginta asked.
"I'll worry about that later. Besides, I'm worried about Kagome. The Shichinitai could have attacked and Inu-Trasha probably couldn't save her."
"Come on Koga, what's the chance of that?" Hakkaku asked.
"With InuYasha? Big."
And with that Koga sped off leaving Ginta and Hakakku in the dust unable to catch up.
