Chapter 2: A Strange Encounter

That same night, not so far away, the sea began to boil. The comet that had previously sunk began to rise up. Once the comet was hovering above the water it blew apart into a million pieces, revealing a hideous demon. As it looked around, it searched for a familiar soul. Kagura watched the demon from a safe distance. It slowly went towards the nearby island gaining speed. Kagura flew off to tell Naraku of the demons movement. Meanwhile on the island, no one would suspect a tragedy was approaching.

Suriki sat on her balcony staring at the sky. She knew it was late but she couldn't sleep. She had had the dream again. That night when Sesshomaru saved her had stayed in her dreams. Her father had insisted that she come home immediately after. He had said that it wasn't safe and the 'weak' dog demons did not have the power to protect her. She had felt just the opposite. Whenever she was with Sesshomaru she had felt safe. It had been about 300 years. Not such a long time for demons. Her father was still ruling the Emerald Island, but she had heard that Sesshomaru's father had died and most of his empire had broken up. 'Sigh' She just wished that she could get out. Her father rarely let her go out, and when she did she was surrounded by guards. His only explanation was that the princess of the earth demons had to stay safe. She knew he was just spooked. Just then a strange feeling came over her. She had felt it before, when her soul had been torn. It gave her shivers. 'The demon, it must be back' she thought, 'I have to get out of here.' Quickly she jumped down to the ground and ran. She didn't know where she was going, just that she had to get away. It was following her, she couldn't escape. Suriki kept running, even though she heard the screams as it destroyed her home. She could do nothing else. When she came to the beach Suriki grabbed a boat and started crossing the strait. When she got to land she kept running.

-------------------

As the sun peaked over the horizon, Sesshomaru gave up the hope of getting any more sleep. He got up and started the campfire again and waited for his companions to wake. It was a while before Rin got up, and a few minuets later Jaken got up.

"What do we do now Mi' lord?" Jaken asked.

"We continue our search for Naraku." Sesshomaru answered. "Let's go."

"Coming!" said Rin as she quickly finished off her breakfast.

They headed out a few seconds later, leaving no trace that they had been there. As Sesshomaru walked, he contemplated last nights dream. It had been 300 years. Why was it coming back? The demon had disappeared, Suriki had left, everything had been normal. Yet why did he now feel like disaster was approaching. Sesshomaru had to stop his reasoning for a moment because he felt an invader in his land. Maybe it was Naraku.

"Jaken, you and Rin stay here. I will be back shortly," Sesshomaru said.

"But Mi' lord, what are we supposed to do?" Jaken asked. Sesshomaru just ignored him and began to walk away.

"Goodbye, Lord Sesshomaru! We will be waiting!" Rin called out after him while waving goodbye.

'If this is indeed Naraku, Inuyasha will most likely be nearby. Hopefully that annoying mutt will stay out of my way,' thought Sesshomaru. As he started to run he transformed into his full demon form to be able to get there faster. He ran quickly following the strong aura.

-------------------

As Inuyasha and the gang got up and prepared to leave, Inuyasha suddenly stopped what he was doing and looked up. His ears were twitching as if he was trying to hear something.

"What is it Inuyasha?" Kagome asked.

"Something is coming," he answered," I can't tell what it is but it is coming fast and it is strong."

"I can feel it to. It is coming from over there," said Mirokou as he pointed towards a section of the forest.

"We should prepare for battle," said Sango.

Everyone nodded at this and took up their weapons. Soon they could all hear something in the forest. It sounded like it was in a hurry. As they prepared for the worst a person came crashing out of the forest. She was going fast and not looking in front of her. Not slowing down she ran strait into Inuyasha. Seeing as Inuyasha was expecting something different, they both tumbled down.

Little did they know but another pair of eyes was watching the encounter. 'Hmm... This is an interesting development. I'm sure that Naraku will want to know about this.' thought Kagura as she watched them. Knowing that a battle was about to ensue she quickly left to tell Naraku what she had seen.
