Chapter 3: Rise of the Heroes
Lady Kaede raised her arms to the sky and the villagers lit the torches around the new temple. "Behold! The twin goddesses Kagome and Kikyo of the Shikon and guardians of our village have been born!"
20 years later…
Two blades clashed with a violent clang.
"Nice safe Sesshy!" said a young man who was swinging his sword
"I told you not to call me that dumb ass" replied his opponent attacking him back.
The two fought each other in between insults. Their friends stopped and looked at the two brothers fighting. Anyone could tell they were brothers. Both had grown up to be tall and well built with distinctive long silvery hair and golden eyes. They had both trained hard and were excellent fighters.
A beautiful woman with long black hair and purple and red kimono walked gracefully towards the training grounds and looked at her sons with a proud smile.
"Inuyasha! Sesshomaru!" she called. Both boys stopped their training and looked at their mother. "I thought I told you to be ready by noon!" she said.
"Coming mum" said Sesshomaru straighting up.
"Be right there…"said Inuyasha "just two minutes to flatten out Sesshy here…"
"You arrogant s…."
"Put your swords away! And I mean NOW!" said their mother drawing herself up to her full height indignantly "I don't want to be late for lunch and we still have to stop by the temple!"
She turned and walked towards the edge of the forest followed by her two sons. It had become a weekly ritual to visit the temple of the Goddesses of the Shikon to pay their respects.
Lady Izaoyoi and her two sons Inuyasha and Sesshomaru had been living in Tama village for the past 20 years. She had gratefully found a home with Kaede who had provided the best education and training for her sons. They had grown to love the village like their own and became very devoted of the village's guardians the Shikon Goddesses, hence their weekly tribute.
High up in the clouds, a young goddess dressed in the purest of white robes was smiling as she looked at the family of three paying tribute in her temple.
"There you are Kagome! I've been looking all over for you" said another young goddess dressed in flowing red robes.
Kagome smiled and looked at her twin sister. "Look, they're here…" she said pointing at the praying trio.
Kikyo looked bored "Yes… as they are every single week. Why do you come and watch this?"
"Oh they're such a nice and happy family…"
"Yes and he's so strong and handsome…" taunted Kikyo
Kagome blushed a pretty shade of red "Oh shut up! It's just that I can't resist those cute doggy ears. I'd give anything to go down there and give them a tweak… I wonder what he would say if I did that" she mused…
"You know very well that that's not permitted!" said Kikyo getting serious, she had always been afraid that her sister would break the golden rule of Mount Olympus. Contact with humans or demons on earth, was forbidden unless approved by Zeus.
"I know, I know… so why were you looking for me?"
"Zeus wants us both in the great hall… come on…"
"I've received word from the city" Lady Kaede was saying to the village council of elders. "The king wants to stop Naraku's advance and claim back the city of Olympia." She paused to allow time for the murmuring of approval and consent to die down and then continued…
"He requests an army from our village to aid him. Word has been sent to the slayer village and the wolf tribe for their troops to join us. I've decided to split our great army in two. One half of the army will go North East and joint with the wolf tribe and the other half will travel North West to the Slayer Village. Both armies will then march to Olympia and fight Naraku."
"But the wolf tribe are demons…just like Naraku… how can we trust their alliance? It could be a trap from Naraku" pointed out one elder.
"Not all demons are savages and untrustworthy as you should well know!" said Myoga angrily.
"Enough!" said Kaede effectively silencing the uproar. "As Myoga said, not all demons should be judged as untrustworthy. After all we have some living peacefully in our own village. The Inu clan was actually in charge of Olympia the city we will be fighting for. As far as we know the wolf tribe are pacific demons. They have however been attacked by Naraku which cost them a lot of their tribe. For the future of the pack, their leader has offered his allegiance to help us against Naraku. Of course it could be a very well planned trap. Naraku is after all a heartless being who would sacrifice his own men like flies if he knew it would supply him with more victims. For this reason and many other problems they could encounter I've decided two split the army in two. That would provide a backup for those suffering any difficulties."
"A very wise decision" said another elder.
"So we are in agreement?" asked Lady Kaede. The council nodded their approval.
"Who will lead the armies?" asked Myoga.
"I have chosen the two of outstanding fighting abilities who are both brave and wise and I think will successfully lead our armies through any possible dangers with courage to victory. Sesshomaru Takahashi will lead the first army to the wolf tribe and Inuyasha Takahashi will lead the second army to the slayer village."
At the same time… far across the land… Naraku was laughing sinisterly on his throne. The one who had been helping him in this war had brought him news.
"So they plan on winning back Olympia!" sneered Naraku… "This will be fun. I'll soon give you an army of the dead you wanted! Hahahahahaha!"
"It won't be an easy battle" warned his associate who was hiding from view in the shadows…"but I can promise you all the help I can give …. I'm sure I'll get War on our side and when all this is over we'll destroy Mount Olympus and after that my brother will be forced to crawl into a miserable hole and hideaway from my power. Hahahaa"
Naraku smiled at the shadowy figure "That's what I like about you… you're as evil as I am!" … and they laughed together as they planned their next move…
A/N well I guess that's it… this will be the last chapter if no one reviews…. No point in writing if no one reads the thing is there?
