CHAPTER 7: Joining forces

I let go of Sesshomaru and noticed his left arm had been cut off "Brother what happened?" I asked "I thought I told you not to call me brother just Sesshomaru will do…" Sesshomaru replied "Lord Sesshomaru's arm was cut off by Inuyasha that half-breed" Master Jaken said. I gasped at the thought "Why that no good pup, when I meet him again I'll rip into him" I growled "There will be no need for that… Have you seen Inuyasha then?" Sesshomaru asks I nod my head "Yes when I first met him he tried to kill me but that priestess girl 'Kagome' he travels with keeps him on a short leash, I was traveling with him and his friends for a bit, and I found out that they are hunting the same demon as I am… Naraku" I replied. Sesshomaru turned back to me "Do you know if they have come close to him yet or found his location?" Sesshomaru asks "Ah… No but I have found out from Koga that Naraku is creating incarnations and I think that Naraku is using them to do his dirty work now" I replied "Incarnations? Who is this Koga you speak of?" Sesshomaru asks more questions. I scratch my head and tilt my ears slightly back, "Well when I was with Inuyasha I was captured by a wolf demon 'Koga' since he found out I could see jewel shards, but then he fell in love with me and I… Uh I'm in love with him too, Koga said that the incarnation Naraku made is a wind sorcerer, her name is Kagura" I replied. Sesshomaru walks off "Hey Sesshomaru where you going?" I ask "To find Naraku, until next time" Sesshomaru says, "Bye Lord Sesshomaru, it was nice to see you again Master Jaken and A-Un… And a pleasure to meet you Rin, stay close to Sesshomaru and do as he says, he'll keep you safe" I said "Yes, goodbye… Wait for me Lord Sesshomaru" Master Jaken calls after Sesshomaru trying to catch up "Goodbye Akira this is for you, I hope we meet again soon" Rin says as she holds a flower out to me, I take the flower "Thank you Rin, I'm sure we'll meet again, take care! Bye!" I yelled as Rin took off and caught up to Lord Sesshomaru, Master Jaken and A-Un.

I wonder what Sesshomaru's connection is to Naraku but at least I know with this many people searching we're sure to find him, I hitched the flower to my halter top and started running along the river I had been running for ages and it was now dark. I stopped for a drink, and by chance a familiar scent filled my nostrils "Naraku…" I said aloud "Ha and this is why I hate Naraku his scent cloaks us" 'a woman's voice' "Who's there? Show yourself!" I yelled jumping into a fighting stance "This should be easy I shouldn't need your help, I would have killed Koga easily if it weren't for Inuyasha" 'a woman's voice' "I don't think you should do this alone Kagura it was Naraku's orders" 'a girls voice'. I growled "Urgh… Screw Naraku I can handle this one" 'a woman's voice' I then saw a woman came down on a big feather with a little girl "So you're Kagura the wind sorceress, and who are you child?" I ask looking at them both in disgust, "Yes I am Kagura I control the wind and this is Kanna of the mirror, you will die tonight Akira wolf priestess" Kagura says smugly. "I can't stand Naraku and more than that those who choose to follow him and do his biddings… You'll will be the one's dying tonight unless you choose to join with me and start fresh new life one of peace and freedom" I replied Kagura shuttered at the word freedom, Kanna and Kagura stepped off the feather and Kagura's feather turned small, Kagura put the feather in her hair, "Enough talk… Dance of Blades!" Kagura yells and flicks her fan at me shooting out blades I try dodging but some of them caught me. I skidded across the ground, I got up and charged at Kagura as she flicks her fan again shooting more blades at me, the blades cut my skin leaving scratches and gashes on me, I stop to catch my breath and I feel could my blood ooze of my wounds. I have to somehow get rid of that fan of hers if I do that I have a chance of beating her "Hey Kanna when did Naraku say our brothers would be finished with Inuyasha his friends and that wolf?" Kagura asked "They should be there now, the fight should begin soon" Kanna answers. "No…" I growled and ran at Kagura dodging her blades I came close to her and kicked the fan from her hand as I turned around I saw Kanna's mirror shine, this is bad I don't like I turned away from the mirror, a new scent came the smell of blood.

I took off running in the direction of the scent of the blood "Where do you think you're going?!" Kagura yelled "I have to help my friends… I have no time for pests like you" I replied and ran off. As I got closer there was multiple different scents of blood I growled as I recognized who the blood belonged to "Dam it I hope I'm not late" I growled. I could see Inuyasha and he's friends Miroku was injured, Sango and Kilala were by Miroku's side, Inuyasha was battling another incarnation of Naraku's, suddenly out of the ground appeared a strange looking creature was heading for Kagome. I ran straight to her pushing her out of the way and the creature went straight through my shoulder "Ahh!" I screamed and fell to the ground "Mmm… You are delicious demon girl I shall have you as well" the creature said I stood up and howled for Takara, I had already been cut up and bruised by Kagura and now I got my shoulder busted up by a weird looking creature. "Akira? Are you ok?" Kagome says "I'm fine, just get over with the others" I replied and ran to Inuyasha side "What's going on?" "They're incarnations of Naraku" Inuyasha said "Oh gee really…. Tell me something I don't know" I snapped back sarcastically "The weird looking guy is Kageromaru and he claims to have come out of this guy Juromaru" Iunyasha said. I growled "I'll take on Kageromaru, you take the other guy he should be easy for you… Let's get this over with!" I yell and run at Kageromaru and try over and over to land a hit but he is too fast, I puff out of breathe "Akira!" I turn around and see Kageromaru right in front of me and try to dodge but he cuts up my chest and just scraps past my neck and face. I drop to the ground and pant heavily, blood was pouring out from my chest, I got up again slowly, I was barely able to keep myself up, "Akira!" I turn to see Koga running towards me and Hakkaku and Ginta on Takara up in the air. Suddenly I was knocked to the ground by Juromaru and he bit down in my shoulder "Ahh! Get off!" I screamed as I knocked him off me with all my might "Inuyasha you're meant to handle Juromaru!" I yell as Koga stops next to me and kneels down.

"Shut up wolf, you're the one who almost got killed by Kageromaru so don't give me shit" Inuyasha yells back "Akira are you ok? What's going on?" Koga asked and Takara touched down on the ground I stood up and Koga helped me "Inuyasha you bastard! I saved Kagome's life, the least you could do is try a thank you any time now" I yelled "Ha I'll thank ya for saving Kagome but nothing else wolf" Inuyasha barks back as he keeps fighting "Koga these are Naraku's incarnations we have to kill them these ones are too dangerous to have around, Kageromaru that weird looking thing you need to watch for him, he comes out from the ground" I said to Koga, Koga nods his head "Hakkaku, Ginta take care of Akira, I'll finish these guys off in no time" Koga said and took off after Kageromaru. Hakkaku and Ginta hoped off Takara and stood on either side of me, and lowered me down to lay against Takara, once I was down I held my hand against my chest to try and stop the bleeding, I cringed in pain "Sis? Hang on we'll get one of the vials out" Ginta says "No… Not now when this fight is over, we don't know what will happen yet, I may need to help them" I said. "But you're already badly injured, I don't think you should even move" Hakkaku replies, I just leaned my head back and shut my eyes tight and hoped that the fight would be over soon and that Koga and the others would be okay, I drifted off a bit and could the others screaming I opened my eyes to see, Kagome stopping Koga and Inuyasha from fighting. My whole body felt weak, "Guys, what happened? Where's Koga?" I managed to say to Hakkaku and Ginta, my eyes fluttered shut and I felt as if I would fall asleep "Koga! Kagome!" 'Hakkaku's voice' "Akira! Akira please wake up!" 'Koga's voice' I could hear and feel everything around me but I felt so tried so drained and suddenly felt my consciousness fade away.

I woke to the sounds of arguing it sounded like Koga and Inuyasha, I looked around and found myself laying down on a futon in a hut but there was no one inside, I grabbed my katana and stood up, my chest was wrapped up in bandages. Kagome and Sango must have tended to my wounds, I walked to the door way and stood there, I saw Inuyasha drawing his sword "You'll pay for saying that flea-bag!" he yelled "Ha like you could hurt me mutt!" Koga yelled back. Just before Inuyasha swung his sword down I took out my katana and threw it aiming at Inuyasha it just missed his nose and struck the tree behind him "Raise that sword again and I can promise I won't miss the second time!" I shouted, everyone turned their attention to me as I stood there eyeing Inuyasha off. Takara transformed into her medium form and jumped to my side nuzzling her face against me and I embraced her flicking my anger of Inuyasha aside, "Kagome have you crossed an incarnation of Naraku that looks like child? She's pale, has white hair and carries a mirror, her name is Kanna" I asked "Yes we saw her not long ago she steals souls with the mirror she has, and can control the body of soul she has taken" Kagome replies walking over to me, the others come over as well, Koga takes my Katana from the tree while giving Inuyasha a glare, Koga comes over to me. Though Inuyasha distances himself from me, "Akira how are you feeling?" Sango asks I give a slight smile "I'm fine, thanks to you guys" I replied Koga handed me my katana "Are you sure? You had serious injuries" Koga said as I took my katana and placed it in its sheath. "I'm fine Koga, don't worry too much, I'm still alive and that's the main thing" I replied, a familiar scent flowed through the wind "Damn him! What does he want?!" Inuyasha growled, I looked around seeing Lord Sesshomaru, Master Jaken, Rin and A-Un come in our direction. "Akira!" Rin shouted and I burst into a run, as we got close Rin jumped towards me, I caught her and spun her around in my arms "Rin it's so nice to see you again and so soon" I said as hugged her, I put Rin down and looked over at Sesshomaru, he was gazing at my wounds and looked furious "Inuyasha! How dare you put Akira's life in danger! I could not care less about your friends and companions but my Akira being hurt because of your actions…" Sesshomaru growled.

Sesshomaru glared daggers at Inuyasha "Hey what did you mean by 'my Akira' she isn't yours" Koga shouted my eyes widened and ears flicked back "Hold your tongue wolf, or you'll be next" Sesshomaru said. I ran in between Inuyasha and Sesshomaru "Stop brother! I get why you hate Inuyasha, for one he took your left arm and he has the Tessaiga" I said "Fine but only because this is what you want and what of the wolf is he Koga, the one you spoke of?" Sesshomaru replies I nod my head as my ears perk up. "Yes brother, Koga is my mate" I said "I am nothing like your father, but I assume he would approve…" Sesshomaru says, "Jaken, Rin and A-un, you will all stay here with Akira until I return…" Sesshomaru says as he turns and leaves Koga walks up beside me. Rin runs and hides behind Jaken terrified "Rin? What's a matter?" I ask Koga stands beside me "He set the wolves on the village" Rin said, my eyes widen "Rin it's ok, I promise you he won't you, Koga has me now and I promise you that he hasn't hurt any humans since being with me" I replied, Rin slowly came out from hiding behind Jaken. She looks at Koga then back at me "You promise?" she replies I nod my head and smile "Of course" Rin runs over to me and throws her arms around me "Hey Akira I was wondering since Lord Sesshomaru is your big brother what does that make me to you?" Rin asked "What do you mean Rin?" I ask as my ears flick back "I mean would you just be my friend, or sister… or maybe mother" Rin replies my eyes widened "Mother?" I question "Yeah, would you? I'd still like you if we were just friends or sisters but you being my mother would be great, I'd bet you'd make a great mother" Rin said excitedly "Young Rin calm down, I'm sure Akira is not interested at all" Jaken says Koga hits Jaken on the head "Hey, I'm sure Akira cares about Rin very much" Koga says as Jaken rubs his head.

I looked at Rin and then thought of Sesshomaru "Rin, you're traveling with Sesshomaru, I'm traveling with Koga we might not see each other very often…" I said sadly "I don't mind I'll still think of you every day and sing songs for you like I do with Sesshomaru when goes away for a bit, I know could never be your real daughter and that you're not my real mother but I do like you and I trust you, other than Lord Sesshomaru, Master Jaken and A-un I feel safe around you, please let me be your daughter" Rin says with her smile turning into a big grin. Wow Rin is really determined, I know how it feels not to have a mother but she's only little and has no family other than Sesshomaru, Jaken and A-un, "Well then what should we do to celebrate?" I ask with a grin Rin's face lit up as she hugged me tight "Thank you Akira… I mean mom" Rin replied, my heart skipped a beat being called mom I never thought I would be a mother for a long time but this is nice. Rin let go of me and ran around singing "I have a mommy and she is the best mommy in the whole wide world" I stood up and watched her run around everyone it made me smile, Koga stood next to me and put his arm around my waist and pulled me close to his side I looked up at Koga, we were both smiling, I heard a sigh "Hey mom can I join in?" Rin asked I smiled. Before I was going I reached down to pick her up Koga stopped me "Mom's still injured so how about I pick you up?" Koga said Rin nodded, Koga picked her up "Family hug!" Rin yelled, Koga held me close to him with arm while hold Rin in his other arm. I was having fun but then a distinct scent came across, my smiling face disappeared and turned into one of distress "Rin stay with Koga I have to go check something" I said as I separated myself from Koga's grip and ran off "Wait Akira!" Koga yelled. I knew this smell all too well it was the scent of my brothers, I ran as fast as I could, when I got to a scenery I know all too well, the place I first met my first love I stopped running to see my brothers sitting by the lake and huge hut that used to be where my first love his brethren and I stayed.

I walked over to them feeling tears build up, "Isamu, Toshio" I called they both turned their heads to look at me, they stood up as soon as they saw it was me "Sister… Ah sorry we didn't smell your scent we'll leave" Toshio replied "No… please don't, I'm sorry I went off the way I did, I know what happened in the past has torn us apart, I think we should start a new, I want us to be a family again…" I said. "So you mean you forgive us?" Isamu says, Toshio hits Isamu in the stomach with his elbow, I laugh slightly "You guys haven't changed too much… And yes I do forgive you" I replied Toshio and Isamu ran over to me and we all huddled together like old times. "Brothers there is a few things we need to talk about though, about everything that's happened while we haven't seen each other" I said and our huddle broke apart "We are sorry about the men you were traveling with you... The ones that were hunted down and executed for slaughtering villagers" Toshio said I hung my head "They didn't slaughter anyone excepted bandits/plunderers and bad demons when they with me and yet the lords from around the region got to together and decided to kill them, it wasn't fair for them to do that or for you two to accuse them" I replied "I'm sorry sister" Toshio said as he hugged me "Yeah, I know we were rough on ya for hanging around humans and falling in love with that guy, you must have gone through hell" Isamu said. Toshio let go of me and gave Isamu an icy glare "So what else has happened sis, you smell like dog and wolf demons amongst other scents" Isamu asked "Well after you two had abandoned me Lord Sesshomaru took me in as his sister and has helped me a great deal after a couple of years I parted ways from Lord Sesshomaru and had found Naraku again and took some of his jewel shards unfortunately I was unable to kill him…" I said with a sigh.

"A while later I ran into Lord Sesshomaru's younger half-brother, I travelled with them for a couple days and because of my priestess powers I can see jewel shards, I kind of made it known when Inuyasha was fighting another wolf demon named Koga…. Koga actually kidnapped me, and wanted to make me his jewel detector but fell in love with me and proclaimed his love for me as well as calling me his woman, I eventually fell in love with him over a brief time and we choose to be mates" I continued, "Wow… Geez I'm impressed sis, so when do I meet the lucky guy" Isamu chuckles, Toshio knocks him over the head. Isamu grumbles "I'm glad you've found someone Akira" Toshio says "Yes so am I and I'm very happy, oh and I ran into a snow/ice sorcerous not long ago at our old home and she was telling me riddles, and when I went back into the hut and downstairs in there was a wall that opened up, a passageway was behind it and at the end a wall came down and there was another room and it had a big portrait hanging on the wall but in the portrait other than father, mother you two and me there was two girls in the portrait, our sisters" I told them. "You mean Kazumi and Natsumi" Isamu says "Yes that's them their names were inscribed on the portrait as were ours" I replied "Kazumi and Natsumi were taken by the sorcerous you mentioned she wanted you because you were the one with power and she wanted your power and she thought by taking our sisters that our parents would swap you for them, but father went out on his own to try and get them back" Toshio said "Yeah father and mother didn't want to give up any of us, and father ran himself sick trying to search for them" Isamu said "He didn't find them then?" I asked they shook their heads.

My brothers walked back over to where they were sitting and I came over and sat with them, "Hey sis tell us, about these new friends of yours?" Isamu said "Sure, well Lord Sesshomaru is of course the first son to the dog demon general, though recently he lost his left arm to his younger half-brother Inuyasha in a fight, then there's Lord Sesshomaru's followers Master Jaken an Imp, A-Un a two-headed dragon demon and Rin a little girl" I said. "Gee I never thought I'd ever hear of the great Lord Sesshomaru traveling with a human especially a little girl" Isamu joked "Can it! Continue sister" Toshio said "Then there's Inuyasha the half-dog demon second son to the dog demon general and his followers Kagome a young priestess woman who comes from the future, Shippo a cute kid fox demon, Miroku a monk, Sango a demon-slayer and her companion Kilala a two-tailed cat demon" I said "Wow what a weird mix" Isamu said "Indeed… Very strange" Toshio said. I laughed "Yeah but you get used to them, there really not that bad, I stay clear of Inuyasha and Miroku though, Miroku a lecherous perverted monk, and Inuyasha is stubborn, rude, arrogant… Well there's a lot of words I could use to describe Inuyasha" I replied "Then there's Koga, Koga is my mate, and is a leader of the eastern wolf tribe, and his followers Hakkaku and Ginta they're both loyal to Koga and are his right and left hand men… I've loved traveling with all of them" I continued speaking. Isamu placed his hand on my shoulder "Ya know sis a lot of people would call you crazy for hanging with numerous demons, a slayer, priestess, monk, a little girl and a half demon, but we don't do we Toshio?" Isamu said with a grin Toshio sighed "I wonder if your humor that's the problem or if you're just plain stupid" Toshio replies "Hey!" Isamu yells back "Isamu keep it down geez I want to be able to hear things thanks" I said rubbing the ear he yelled in "Ops sorry sis" Isamu replies rubbing the back of his neck.
