Hello, all! This is the fourteenth chapter of this story! Thanks for reading and reviewing! Anyway, on with the chapter! D.N.A
The God's Sacrifice
As the sun rose up from the mountains, everyone got out of the village and started continuing their journey to find more shards. They quietly walked on the dirt path looking around the fields seeing the workers plow them. Shippo yawned loudly while Sango rubbed Kirara's fur softly making her purr softly. "Where are we going this time?" Kagome asked Inuyasha curiously. "We're going to find more information about the shards in the another village." He replied seriously still walking. "Right, we haven't heard of any news on the shards lately. So, it's best to find new information from different villages." Miroku agreed walking next to Sango.
Kaname was carrying her new spell book in her arms with her bag on her back. She was quickly looking over the spells she studied last night. "Oh, Kaname, did you study the book already?" Kagome asked intriguingly looking at her tome. "Yes, I studied it all night. Now, I need to practice until I successfully master them." Kaname replied sincerely looking at Kagome. Kagome nodded and turned her head while walking with her bike. "This is boring!" Shippo yawned bored while sitting on Miroku's shoulder. "Why don't you walk instead of whining the whole way?" Inuyasha said annoyed by his whining. "Hey, at least I don't do something stupid like you do everyday!" Shippo argued back angrily.
Inuyasha smashed his fist against his head and pulled it away leaving a big red knot forming on his head. "OW!" Shippo cried out pained holding his knot. "Cut it out, Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled frustrated. He walked away grunting in annoyance. "He'll never stop." Sango said calmly holding Kirara. Kirara mewed cutely. "Hey, look!" Kaname said pointing towards a group of men dressed in white robes. "What are they?" Kagome questioned puzzled. "I don't know." Sango replied confused too. "Let's check it out." Inuyasha said impatiently running towards them. They walked towards them slowly as Kaname asked, "Excuse me?" They turned their heads to see the group standing there. "Aw, you're travelers, are you? We haven't seen them for a while." A tall man dressed in a white robe with a blue undershirt underneath said stepping up.
"Really? Who are you?" Kaname asked curious. "Oh, forgive me, I haven't introduced myself. I'm Rio, the priest of the Yamagata shrine. And these are the followers of the temple." He introduced pointing towards the other men. "I'm Kaname, this is Inuyasha, Kagome, Shippo, Miroku, Sango, and Kirara." She introduced pointing towards each one.
They all said their greetings before Kagome asked, "If you're the priest of the shrine, then what are you doing out here?" Kagome asked puzzled. "Well, you see, we're being chased by a cult that does terrible things to please their god." He replied seriously with a hard face. "A cult?" Sango asked confused. "There's a cult that does terrible things like place curses on people, steal, kill, and sacrifice people to their god. They ran us out of the shrine trying to take us as sacrifice to their god." He explained thoroughly.
"They made sacrifices to their god?" Miroku asked disbelieved about the whole situation. "Yes, they sacrificed many men that they captured in the woods, but they never sacrificed a woman I think. Their god's name is Komori." He replied nodding. "Where is this cult at anyway?" Kagome asked inquiringly. "Frankly, they capture people in this forest so that means they somewhere in that forest." He responded pointing towards the forest. "I see." Inuyasha said interested looking at the forest.
"You should stay away from the forest. They will hunt you at no costs." Rio warned them seriously before walking towards the talking followers. "That was strange." Kagome said looking at him weirdly. "We should listen to what he said and stay away from the forest." Miroku said looking so earnestly. "What? We stay away from the forest?! How are we supposed to go any further to find more shards?" Inuyasha questioned upset. "I think I agree with Miroku, we should stay away if they are searching for someone as a sacrifice." Sango agreed logically holding Kirara in her arms. "If we don't want to be the sacrifice, then we should stay away." Shippo said scared about the cult. "Yes, we should stay away from there." Kaname nodded looking at the forest cautiously.
"Anyway, we should take a break today. We haven't got d day off since we left Kaede's Village." Kagome suggested smiling at the idea. "Yeah!" Shippo cheered happily. "AHHHHHHHHHH!!!" a woman screamed bloodily throughout the area. They all froze scared while Rio and the followers turned to the forest. "Who is that?" a follower asked someone puzzled. "I have no idea." He answered confused too. "We should help her now!" one follower shouted among the group. "YEAH!" they all shouted bravely.
"No! If you went in there, you'll become a sacrifice to that cult!" Rio intervened before they went dashing into the forest. "It looks like that day off idea will have to wait soon." Inuyasha said grinning running towards the forest. "Wait, Inuyasha!" Kagome called out worriedly before running into the forest after him. "Let's go!" Miroku commanded running into the forest with the others. "Don't!" Rio called out quickly, but he was too late.
Inuyasha kept sprinting towards the sound of the woman's voice with a worried Kagome at his feet and everyone else behind her. "Is he crazy?! Doesn't he even care about the cult searching for a sacrifice?!" Shippo cried out franticly sitting on Miroku's shoulder. "No, he never listens." Miroku calmly replied trying to catch up. "If that woman is getting captured by that cult, then we should help." Sango said carrying Kirara carefully. "Yes, if they are there, then we should take extreme cautions." Kaname said running after Miroku.
"Inuyasha, stop running before you get captured by the cult!" she called out running after him breathing hard. He didn't listen to her and just ignored her. "That's it! Inuyasha, SIT!" she yelled angrily at his rebelliousness. His beads glowed pink before he got forcefully pulled to the ground. "Ugh!" he cried out pained when he hit the hard earth
. Kagome rushed up to Inuyasha while the others came up later. Kagome kneeled by him while she shouted at him furiously, "What were you doing?! How can you run into the forest like that knowing about people who kidnapped other people and sacrificed them for their god?!" He twitched a little while Shippo sighed quietly at his stupidity. "Sango and I will check about that woman she just heard, we'll be back in a few minutes." Miroku told them seriously sprinting into the deep parts of the forest with Sango.
Kaname held her book close to her chest while she continued to watch Kagome yell at him deeply worried, Inuyasha muttering in pain, and Shippo nodding with Kagome. They stayed like that for a while until Miroku and Sango came back walking with a terrified old woman. "We're back." Sango said walking towards them. "Hi, Sango, what did you find?" Kagome stopped yelling and politely asked her curiously.
"Well, we found this woman near the river where she was surrounded by demons." Miroku explained motioning towards the old woman with his head. "Oh, thank goodness, you've came to save me! I had no idea what would have happened if you didn't saved me!" the old woman exclaimed bowing gratefully. "It's no problem. We're just glad that we found you before the demons attacked you." Sango said smiling back.
"Thank you. Oh, yes, would you please escort me out of the forest? I want to go home back to my village." The old lady asked courteously. "Sure, we're going out of here, anyway." Kagome answered smiling. "Oh, thank you so much!" she exclaimed bowing again smiling with appreciation. "Come on, Inuyasha, let's go!" Kagome said starting to lift Inuyasha.
They started to walk back quietly while Kirara carried the unconscious Inuyasha on her back. "So, where do you live?" Kagome asked starting up a conversation. "Oh, I leave in a village near here in a old house I bought years ago." She answered smiling at her. Miroku walked beside Sango calm as ever with Shippo on his shoulder until he felt cold and started to shiver. "What's wrong, Miroku?" Shippo asked worried. Sango looked at him like that too. They all stopped and looked at him concerned. "I felt something's bad going to happen." He answered feeling all tensed.
All of the sudden, white smoke began to fill the area covering everything in its midst. "What is this?!" Kagome asked scared. "I can't see!" Shippo yelled coughing from the smoke. "It's a smoke bomb!" Sango cried out shielding her eyes from smoke. "What?!" Kaname yelled covering her eyes with one arm. Kirara staggered roaring while she laid Inuyasha down on the ground. Miroku coughed while trying to see what's going on.
After the smoke covered their vision, a massive sound erupted onto them exploding their ears. They sound like a millions of firecrackers exploding at the same time. "Ahhh!" Kagome screamed frightened covering her ears. "What is this?!" Shippo yelled falling towards the ground holding his ears. "Damn it!" Sango shouted clutching her ears pained from the sound.
Kaname took off her backpack and pulled out a napkin. She covered her mouth and nose with it while she put her tome inside the rucksack. She pulled it back over her shoulder while she coughed a little from the extreme amount of smoke. "What is going on?" she asked confused. "You're mine." A male voice whispered audibly behind her. "Huh?!" she said scared before she felt something jabbed in the back of her neck and the whole world before her turned dark.
There stood above Kaname was the old lady grinning ear to ear. She ripped off her clothes to reveal a man wearing a black robe having his long black hair in a ponytail. He had a gas mask covering his mouth and two plugs in his ear. "Finally, a sacrifice to our lord, Komori." He muttered inaudibly behind his gas mask before he knelled down slowly and lifted the unconscious Kaname in his arms. He stopped while he slowly moved his arms carrying her. "Hmmm. That's strange; this one seems lighter than the others." He said to himself perplexed. "No matter." He walked into the deep parts of the woods leaving the distracted others.
He continued to walk into the forest holding the out cold Kaname until he walked up to a tall man in a big black elegant robe and two men behind wearing normal black robes. "Sir, I've found a sacrifice for our lord, Komori." He told the tall man standing before him bowing. "Excellent. Nice work, Kabuto." The priest praised him grinning a little. He walked up to him looking at Kaname closely.
"Hmm?" he mumbled surprised. "What is it, sir?" Kabuto asked confused. "Kabuto, the one you're carrying is a woman." He told him straight out. "What?!" he asked baffled. "But sir, what about the ceremony?" a follower asked uneasily. "I have no idea." The priest said forlornly shaking his head. "Sir, Lord Komori has men since the day we sacrificed on years ago. Frankly, he's getting very upset and uptight about having to eat men for years. We should sacrifice this girl to our lord and see what he thinks. If he doesn't like it, then we will gather no more women. If he does like it, then we can gather women from now on." A follower explained his theory thoroughly.
The priest stopped and thought for a moment before he nodded thinking. He straightened up and walked away slowly with Kabuto and the other two followers trailing behind him. They came upon a building as the priest walked upstairs with the others behind him and came on top of a podium. The podium faced upon a group of black robed followers that were waiting for their priest to arrive.
"My fellow followers, our Lord, Komori, have given us everyone we ever needed in our lives, power, food, shelter, health, and respect. He has given us everything while we gave him none. We shall give him an offering that will be token of our thanks for everything he has done. Tonight, a sacrificial ceremony will be in place!" he announced raising his hand into the air spirited while everyone else cheered for the speech.
He turned to Kabuto and took the unaware girl out of his arms carefully. He turned towards the crowd again holding her gently. "And tonight, this woman will be our sacrifice for our lord." He declared raising her up into the air showing everyone the victim. They looked at it awed while some raised questions amongst themselves.
"This is will be the first time we ever sacrificed a woman to our lord. This will be merely a test to see if the girl is suitable to be the worthy sacrifice to our god. If our lord accepts her, then we'll hunt more women instead of me. Long live, Lord Komori!" he cheered still holding her up while everyone raised their hands and cheered along lively with him. "Long live, Lord Komori!!" they cheered pumping their hands back and forth into the air. He turned to the followers and ordered sternly, "You take the girl and dressed her up in the white sacrificial robe." "Yes, sir!" they exclaimed loudly. They took the girl from the priest's arms and went away with her.
Outside of the forest, it was dark with the stars glittering across the sky and the full moon showing its light letting it cover upon the earth. Everyone else was covered by blankets while they were knocked out cold. Kagome's eyes twitched a little before they opened slowly. "Where am I? What happened?" she asked herself confused until the events ran through her head. She sat up straight and quickly while she exclaimed worriedly, "Inuyasha!" "What do you want?" he groaned loudly sitting up slowly looking at her with drowsily eyes. "Thank goodness, you're alive" She whispered smiling. "Why wouldn't I be?" he asked crossing his arms seriously.
Sango sat up quietly rubbing her eyes tiredly. "What happened?" She asked them more puzzled. Miroku woke up sitting up holding his staff close. Shippo woke up after him and stood up staggering wearily. "I have no clue." Shippo said with a yawn. "I see you all are awake." Someone startled them making high alerted. Rio walked out of the darkness carrying a relaxed expression.
"Oh, it's Priest Rio." Kagome said relieved to see him. "Priest, do you know what happened to us?" Sango asked petting a sleeping Kirara. "I have no idea. My followers and I tried to find you, and then we saw a trail of smoke coming from the forest. So, we ran towards the smoke and found all of you out cold on the ground." He explained sitting down beside them. "I see." Miroku said nodding earnestly.
"I remember! We were walking back with an old lady that was attacked by demons and suddenly we were attacked." Kagome remembered exclaiming loudly. "Yes, I remember that. My ears are still in pain from that noise." Sango said rubbing her ears that are still sore. Shippo looked around until he realized something very important. "Hey, everyone, do you know Kaname is?" he asked concerned for his female comrade.
Everything stopped while they all had an expression of fear on their faces. "Did you bring anyone else besides us?" Kagome asked him scared. "No, no one besides you all." He answered straight out. "So, that means…" Sango trailed off looking into the air scared. "Kaname has been…" Miroku trailed off too. "Kidnapped!!" they all shouted in fright. "The cult must have kidnapped her while we had been attacked!" Shippo exclaimed scared. "That old lady must have been a cult member under a disguise to capture one of us as a sacrifice. No wonder I felt something unusual." Miroku said regaining calm.
"It's your fault, Inuyasha!!" Kagome yelled angrily at him. "Why is it my fault?!" he yelled back. "If you didn't run into the forest, then we wouldn't save a cult member and Kaname wouldn't be kidnapped and be a sacrifice to some god!" Kagome yelled furiously at him. "Calm down, you two, fighting would never solve a thing." Sango tried to soothe them down. "She's right, if you kept fighting, then we'll never find Kaname in time." Miroku explained calmly with Shippo on his shoulder again. "Let's go then!" Inuyasha shouted boldly. "Yeah!" Shippo cheered along. Kagome jumped on Inuyasha's back while Miroku, Sango, and Shippo went on the transformed Kirara. They raced into the forest leaving a mystified Rio behind.
In the depths of the forest, Kaname was lying in the middle of an open spot unconscious. Her eyes twitched until she opened them slowly looking around the place. "Where am I?" she asked herself confused. She sat up looking around the forest searching for her friends. She looked down at herself to see she was wearing a white, long, robe that covered everything. The sash hung limply at the sides while the front was ajar showing her skin and her undergarments. She let out a small yelp covering her skin and the undergarments with the robe. She stood up while she tied the sash in a knot and let the robe covered her skin. She heard a small ring and looked down to see her bell still around her neck.
"Where's my clothes and my bag?" she asked looking for her things except she couldn't find them. "You're awake." A deep male's voice said from the darkness. She looked startled at where the male's voice was to see a follower coming towards her. "Who are you?" she asked worriedly. "That is none of your concern." He replied icily. "What's going on? Why am I here?" she asked scared. "Tonight's the night for the sacrificial ceremony to our god, Komori. And you are his sacrifice tonight." He told her coldly. "What!?" she exclaimed shocked.
He looked at her with steel eyes as he walked over towards her with a serious expression. "What?" she questioned. "Silence." He ordered shooting his hand forward unleashing green vines from it. The vines trapped Kaname and pushed it against a tree. It ensnared her making her struggle against the grip. He took a step by step approaching her slowly.
He stood in front of her while he looked at her for a while. His fingers touched the bell that was around her neck while he fingered it a little. "A bell? What a useless object. Lord Komori won't like his sacrifice to be a cow." He muttered frustrated. He grabbed the bell and pulled it away making it break off from the yarn. She yelled angrily, "What are you doing?! You give it back now!" He smirked at her while he held the bell with his fingers. "Why should I you wench?" he snickered at her coldly. He threw the bell away letting it fall to the ground making it ring loudly.
Nearby, Sesshomaru was standing with Jaken while Rin played merrily with Ah-Un. The bell's rings reached his ears while he looked towards the point. His eyes slightly narrowed while Jaken looked up to him asking, "What is it, Lord Sesshomaru?" He ignored him while he turned towards the spot. "Jaken, you stay here with Rin. I'll be back." He said calmly turning his head towards him. "Yes, milord." He said bowing his head still wanting to go with him. Sesshomaru looked towards the spot where he heard the bell and ran off quickly.
After the bell hit the ground, Kaname still struggled out of the vines while the man stared at her coldly. "Let me out!" she shouted angrily at him. "Be quiet!" the follower yelled annoyed lifting his hand up and slapped her harshly. The slap was so loud while there was a big red mark on her cheek. She was stunned and was silent while the follower grunted. Her cheek was hurting really bad while the mark gave redder tint to her cheek. She started to struggled obviously angry at the follower.
The priest walked out of the darkness making her stopped struggling and the man turned around. "It is time for the ceremony." The priest announced looking at the man. His head turned to see his lord's sacrifice tied up to a tree by vines. "Oda, that is no way to treat a lady, especially a sacrifice." He scolded him while he walked towards her. He stopped in front of her and pushed his hand in front of her. He opened his palm quickly and the vines shot away from her letting her drop to the ground and went back into his hand.
He put his hand in front of her face releasing a purple sleeping gas. She coughed trying to breathe and a few seconds later, she fell asleep. He kneeled in front of her and lifted her up in his arms while standing up. He turned to Oda and said, "Get ready for the ceremony." Oda bowed to him with respect and ran off into the darkness. The priest slowly walked into the darkness carrying her gently leaving the forgotten bell behind.
Inuyasha was sniffing out Kaname's scent while everyone else patiently waited for him until Miroku asked, "Did you find anything?" "I smell Kaname's scent and someone else's." he replied sniffing more. "Let's follow it!" Kagome said determined to find their friend jumping on Inuyasha's back. They started out again following her scent until they stopped when they heard noises. "What is that?" Sango asked. "It sounds like a chant." Miroku said listening to the chanting.
Inuyasha looked weird and started to sniff the air. "What is it, Inuyasha?" Shippo asked. "This scent reeks of human blood." He replied sniffing more. "I can't smell her scent anymore, but I just smell blood." "Blood? It must be from the people they sacrificed." Kagome said a little frightened. "We should find Kaname quickly." Sango said seriously. "Yes, the chanting might be for the sacrificial ceremony for their god." Miroku said nodding earnestly. "Let's go!" Inuyasha exclaimed dashing off into the depths with the others.
Sesshomaru ran towards the spot where he heard the bell ring, but no one was there. He looked around the clearing searching for something. 'I heard the bell ring right here.' He continued to walk until he heard a jingle from the ground. He looked down to see Kaname's bell lying on the ground broken from its yarn forgotten. He picked it up and looked at it. "The priest said that girl is going to become Lord Komori's first female sacrifice ever!" an enthusiastic follower exclaimed. "We should head to the temple to see the priest give the girl to Lord Komori!" another follower said energetically. He heard their running footsteps while he clutched the bell in his hand angrily. He took out the Tokijin with his right hand and started to sprint towards the so called temple.
The followers still wore their black robes, but wore brown masks that shaped like seeds and had colorful red marks on it. They chanted loudly and spiritually while the priest walked up through the walkway between the two groups of followers. He carried Kaname through the walkway and entered inside a big temple that looked ancient.
He walked up towards a small marble platform and laid Kaname on it gently. He straightened up while the torches around the room lit up to reveal a huge bat sleeping upside down from the ceiling covering itself with its wings. The bat opened its huge conspicuous brown eyes while it asked the shaken priest irritated, "What is it that you want, avaricious human?" "My lord, we have brought you this girl as an offering to you." He explained with a little fear in his voice. He tried not to shake while the bat narrowed its eyes at him.
The bat looked down to see her lying on the marble platform and looked back at him. "I see you've brought me a girl this time." It said scaring the priest with its huge screechy voice. The bat continued to look at her while the priest shook with fear. It was a few moments later until he turned his gaze towards the priest. "Very well, I accept your offering." It said pleased with the sacrifice. "Thank you, Lord Komori!" the priest exclaimed delighted bowing with respect. "You may leave." Komori said waved his wing towards the door. The door opened mysteriously while the priest bowed once again and walked through the doorway.
The doors closed once again as Komori heard the priest yell happily, "Our Lord accepted the sacrifice!" The crowds cheered loudly and cheerfully that can be heard inside the temple. Komori looked down at the girl and said, "I shouldn't eat a meal when it's asleep. Otherwise, it would taste bad." He closed his wing across the other wing and decided to go to asleep for now.
Kaname rolled over onto her other side while she woke up to see she was in a huge old building. She remembered Oda and the priest before he used sleeping gas on him. She sat up looking around the dim-lit room curiously and inquiringly. She looked to the other side and froze immediately when she saw a big bat hanging upside down sleeping from the ceiling. "A bat?" she questioned looking at the bat.
Komori opened his eyes again and looked to see his sacrifice's awake. He spread his wings opened wide while he said to the girl, "Welcome to my temple, girl. I'm Komori, the cult's god." She stood up and exclaimed angrily, "You're not a god! You're a bat demon who fools with the people's minds to think that you're a god!" He smirked while he laughed, "I didn't fool those men, my dear. They believed that I am a god sent to them to help them with their needs. They accepted me as a god with no arguments or anything."
Komori fell from the ceiling and landed on a wooden arch that stood before her. "But still you control the cult like it's a game!" she shouted crossing her arms across her chest. "Maybe, but I don't take it the wrong way like they did." He replied not caring for the cult. "Now, since I'm getting hungry all of the sudden, I might as well eat you since they've been through hard job getting you to me." He said grinning at her hungrily. His eyes started to flash yellow while she felt something pushing her down to the pedestal. She tried to move, but couldn't. "No!" she exclaimed realizing she can't move.
The priest and the followers stood outside of the temple waiting for a sound or something. "Do you think he ate her already?" a follower asked another. "I think so, otherwise it wouldn't be too quiet." He grunted. Something moved past them fast left them in a gust of dust and entered inside the temple closing the doors. "What was that?!" a follower exclaimed shocked. "It went inside of Lord Komori's temple!" another one yelled alarmed. "We should help Lord Komori!" the priest shouted running towards the doors and tried to open it. Everyone else went towards the doors and started to try to get in.
"Now, little girl, time to eat!" Komori exclaimed eagerly flapping his wings hovering over the arch. Kaname struggled trying to get out of the spot, but couldn't. "You're stuck to the pedestal until you end up in my stomach." He laughed before he started to glide towards her fast. She bent her head and waited scared until she heard a metallic clank hit something and Komori screamed in pain. She looked up to see Sesshomaru standing in front of her holding the Tokijin in his hand. She looked around him to see Komori lying against the wall wincing in pain while bearing a deep scar across his face.
Komori slowly stood while staggering a little from the pain. He spread his wings open and started to flap hovering above the ground. "Sesshomaru! Why are you saving this human girl? Don't tell me you've become just like you're father?" he laughed arrogantly while Sesshomaru ignored him. Komori rose up into the air, flipped into a loop, and flew straight towards him. He stood his ground protecting the attached Kaname until he slashed his sword across his chest. He screamed again while he flew across the room and collided into the wall.
Kaname felt her legs loosened and moved her legs to test them. 'Alright, I can move again!' She stood up from the pedestal while Komori twitched a little. She jumped off while Sesshomaru turned around and faced her. "Are you alright?" he asked trying not to worry. "I'm fine." She replied nodding smiling. He smiled a little until it turned into a frown and his eyes narrowed slightly. He pulled up his hand up and gently stroked the mark on her cheek. His eyes turned red while she looked at him worried.
He pulled his hand away from her face and walked past her towards the damaged Komori. She watched inquiringly while she felt a tint of concerned for him. He walked towards the bat demon while his eyes widened red and had a furious expression on his face. His magenta stripes grew more widely while he took a step by step towards Komori. She felt a tinge of fear rising in her chest as she watched him walked towards the bat demon.
As he was near the beaten Komori, Sesshomaru lifted his hand as it cracked its muscles and showed off its claws. His red eyes watched Komori tried to get up from the ground, but couldn't since he was weak. "Pitiful demon." He emotionlessly muttered holding up his hand. He shot straight towards him while he slashed Komori's entire body with his claws. Komori screamed painfully for the last time as his body was chopped up in little pieces. When the pieces fell straight to the ground, it disappeared and turned into ashes.
Sesshomaru landed on the ground softly as he flexed his hand staring at the remains of Komori. His eyes turned back to normal and his stripes narrowed down to its usual size. He lowered his hand down as he turned around and walked towards Kaname. She watched as he walked up to her and stopped in front of her closely. He held out his hand while she looked at it curiously. She slowly held out her hand hovering beneath his hand. He dropped something in it while she clutched it and pulled it back towards her. She opened it to see her bell that the follower threw away except it has a new red necklace on it.
She smiled while she held up the bell by her fingers and listened to it jingle. He moved behind her as he took the necklace and wrapped it around her neck. He tied it tight but a little loose and then wrapped his arms around her neck. She was a little surprised by the sudden action, but she enjoyed and smiled while he pulled her back against his chest. She felt his hot breath near her ear while he smiled when he saw her blush a little.
The whole special moment was interrupted when Komori's priest and followers started to bang on the door loudly and they heard Inuyasha yelling at them to make way. He slowly leaned over and whispered into her ear softly, "I'm going back to the others now." She nodded and whispered, "Right." He unwrap his arms away from her neck while she turned towards him. "Till we meet again." He said with a little sadness in it. She nodded and said feeling sad too, "Yes, till we meet again." He nodded before he turned his head around and ran off jumping through an open window leaving a waving Kaname behind.
She stopped waving as soon as he left her sight and sighed delightful. She heard the door breaking through and turned towards the banging door. Inuyasha crashed through the door letting the followers and the priest fall to the ground. "Kaname!" he exclaimed running towards her. "You okay?" he asked in a concerned caring way. "I'm fine, thanks." She replied smiling at him. "Good." He said letting out a sigh of relief. "Kaname!" the others cried out worried. They turned to see everyone running up towards them. "Everyone!" Kaname exclaimed happy to see them.
"Are you alright?" Kagome asked worried. "I'm fine." She replied rubbing the back of her head. "I'm glad you didn't get sacrificed to Komori." Miroku said relieved. "We were so worried!" Shippo exclaimed. "Yes, besides what was this Komori like?" Sango asked curious. "Well, he wasn't a god, that's for sure. It turned out that he's a bat demon." She explained simply. "So, they've been following a bat demon for a god?! How stupid!" Inuyasha huffed angrily.
They looked to see the priest running before the followers before they stopped in front of them. The priest yelled furiously, "What did you do to Lord Komori?!" The followers yelled, "Yeah!" "Your Lord Komori is dead, old man." Inuyasha said annoyed. "What?! Lord Komori cannot be defeated! He's immortal!" the priest bellowed angrily. "Well, it seems like your god turned out to be demon." Inuyasha said frustrated. "He's right, you've been fooled thinking that he was a god, but he wasn't." Kagome said siding with Inuyasha.
After they explained the whole story, the priest fully understood the situation and was disappointed and upset to find that the god they followed wasn't a god at all. So, the priest ordered his men to fix the trashed Yamagata shrine and leave the shrine alone. Rio and the others went home to their shrine and thanked the once bad cult for their help. The others thought of going towards the next village and decided to go back to Kaede's to take a break from their travels. They left the Yamagata shrine getting farewells from the followers and the priests as they started to walk back to Kaede's Village
