Chapter 42

xXx Toshi and Kagura xXx

Kagura steered the direction of her feather towards Naraku's castle. They landed in front of it and Toshi pushed by Kagura and walked in. Some poison insects flew at her and healed her wounds. She bent her shoulders back and walked towards the room in which Naraku sat. She moved the mat. There sat Naraku in a kimono with his hair tied back. He turned to her. His crimson eyes studied her.

"You didn't kill them?" he asked.

"Sesshomaru came and crashed the party," she growled.

"Why didn't you use your power?" he asked.

"Huh?"

"Your name, Toshi, means 'mirror reflection' meaning you have the power to change into whatever or whoever you like," he explained, "I created you to look like Taka in the first place thinking you'd kill them all."

Toshi growled. An image came to mind. Sango throwing the Hirakotsu.

"The taijia," she said aloud.

"Hmm?" Naraku glanced at her.

"San-go," she pronounced, "the older sister of Kohaku... the lose of the other taijia hurts her deeply," Toshi smirked, "I'm going to mirror her."

Naraku smirked back. The poison insects swarmed into the room and covered Toshi. Naraku watched. Kagura came in and gasped. Kanna stood nearby, as emotionless as usual and watched. Kohaku turned his head from the corner he sat in. It looked as though the insects were eating. They then began getting absorbed. When they disappeared Toshi stood there as Sango. Her suit was as Sango's was but the red was darker in places. The color around her eyes was also darker and the bands on the also mirrored Hirakotsu were a dark crimson. She looked at the new body and smirked.

"Now you can attack again if you like," Naraku suggested.

"In a few days," Toshi looked at him, "I'd like to have practice with this thing first."

She held the Hirakotsu over her shoulder and walked out.

"What have you created Naraku," growled Kagura.

"A mere reflection," Naraku answered simply.

xXx the gang xXx

Kagome wiped Taka's forehead. Taka stirred and pulled away. She opened her eyes.

"Taka-chan!" said Kagome happily.

Taka looked at her and looked away.

"Taka?" Kagome looked at her.

"Naraku," she growled, "he's taken it to far this time."

Kagome bit her lip.

"Do you forgive Inuyasha?" she asked.

Taka glanced at her.

"For using the Kaze no Kizu on you, I mean," Kagome explained.

"Hai... it was Naraku's fault not his," Taka replied.

Kagome sighed.

"I'm glad," she said.

"Did Toshi... get away?" asked Taka.

"Hai," Kagome said.

Taka growled and clenched her fist.

xXx Nearby with the boys and Sango xXx

"Sesshomaru! Why did you come here anyway!" growled Inuyasha as he glared at his older brother.

"Can I not save her as she saved Rin?" Sesshomaru growled back.

Inuyasha rolled his eyes and looked away.

"Inuyasha?" Sesshomaru growled.

"Nani!"

"Why don't you take Taka and get a sword made for her by Totosai?" Sesshomaru offered, "I noticed she doesn't carry a sword anymore."

"Eh?"

"Baka! Taka lost her sword!" Shippo exclaimed.

A rock flew from the forest hitting Shippo.

"I didn't lose it!" Taka snarled from the forest.

Shippo held his head.

"Taka!" scolded Kagome.

"Kenji broke my sword," Taka explained ignoring Kagome, "and who's Totosai?"

"An old geezer who makes swords," said Inuyasha, "he made my sword and Sesshomaru's."

"I see."

"We'll go see him tomorrow," Miroku suggested.

"Oh... great..." Taka scowled.

"Nani?" asked Sango.

"Inuyasha... you know what tonight is, right?" Taka grumbled.

"Oh... kuso," growled Inuyasha.

"The night of the new moon," Sesshomaru smirked.

"Urasai!" Inuyasha snapped.

"Don't worry Inuyasha," Shippo smirked, "there's still a couple hours left for you to be a hanyou."

Shippo looked at Inuyasha only to get a fist in the face. Inuyasha growled at the kitsune. Shippo bawled.

"Inuyasha! Osuwari!" Kagome exclaimed.

Inuyasha fell to the ground again.

"Ow," he growled as he sat up again.

"Baka, Inuyasha," Shippo sobbed holding the forming lump on his head.

"Nani?"

"Don't think of it Inuyasha," warned Kagome.

Inuyasha clenched his fist.

"Wench," he growled.

"Osuwari!" Kagome said again.

Inuyasha fell to the ground again.

Taka snickered. Inuyasha looked up at her and growled.

"I thought you were on my side when it came to the word," he growled.

"I am... but can't I laugh at it to?"

WHACK!

"Only to get laughed at also," Miroku held the staff over Taka, who now lay face first on the ground also.

Shippo burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at!" growled both Inuyasha and Taka.

Shippo eeped and looked at the two hanyous.

"You know what would be nice Shippo?" asked Inuyasha.

"N... Nani?"

"To see you face pounded in!" Taka growled.

Inuyasha took off after Shippo. Shippo squealed and ran off. Taka ran after them both and they ran into the forest.

"Kagome!" cried Shippo.

Kagome was about to react.

"Just let them have their fun," laughed Miroku, "if they do catch him then you can sit Inuyasha."

Kagome laughed.

"Alright."

"Childish," Sesshomaru remarked while watching the hanyous chase the defenseless kitsune.

"Hah! Got you," Inuyasha held Shippo by the tail.

"Kagome!" Shippo cried loudly.

"Inuyasha osuwari!" Kagome laughed.
