Chapter 9
Something wasn't right, Kagome had a strange feeling as if something was wrong. The hairs on the back of her neck stood on end as if some unknown force was just about to come down on her with a powerful fiery, unlike any she had ever felt. No it that wasn't right she felt neither anger or fiery, only an enormous hate and a great disgust for all living things. 'Something is wrong, deadly wrong! What the hell could it be and why the bloody hell can I sense it this strongly, it was never like this before. Kikyo, it must be the fact that my soul is once again whole. Shards!'
"Kagome, is something the matter?" Miroku asked as he looked with concern upon his face. Kagome had been walking ahead when she just stopped in the middle of the road and tensed as if something terrible could happen any minute.
" I feel shards, lots of them which can only mean that Naraku is nearby. By the feel of it he is coming really fast!" Kagome said as she whirled around to look at them then she faced her right which just happened to be to the west seeing as they had been traveling north through the woods in the center of the vast mix of many types of trees and shrubs.
"Human are you sure?" Sesshomaru asked in a tone that sounded rather annoyed and ever doubtful on the abilities Kagome did or didn't possess. The eyes of Inu Yasha stared at her with a look that did not bode well, for Sesshomaru at least.
"Sit," loud bang was heard as Inu Yasha's face met dirt, quite hardly too, " Yes I am sure that Naraku is coming unless you think that some one even stronger managed to stop and kill Naraku take the jewel shards then come from Buda knows where and track us down all within the space of a morning." All was said in a huff as flustered Kagome readied her bow and arrow while saying a quick prayer in hope that the gods would be on their side.
Naraku paced Sesshomaru's body was strong even if the fool Inu Yasha was the one currently in the body. It was taking forever for him to tire. Naraku normally calm and controlled when he was up to something couldn't find it in him to wait any more he had to kill the jewel shard hunting group and he had to kill them now. All of them would die to Inu Yasha's body to the small fox child and even the little human girl that Sesshomaru seemed so fond of. Yes they would soon die, he might even aim for the children first just to see the looks on the faces of the adults, the anger, hate sorrow and the need for revenge that would only serve to make their deaths all the more sweeter for him. It was going to go perfectly. He was stronger than ever before all his incarnations had been reabsorbed so that his power was no longer split between so many bodies, he even had his heart back in his real body instead of the useless baby body, for no one could beat him and he no longer needed to feel the fear that Inu Yasha's group or mainly Sesshomaru could Kill him.
Inu Yasha watched as the last demon's body slowly fell from his claws. He wasn't finished he needed something else to kill something else to get his mind off of the death of his dearly beloved Kikyo. Naraku would pay soon enough but having no means to find him, Inu Yasha decided that the worthless demons in the area would pay for what Naraku had done, he soon ran out though so he had ran to another area that area was soon empty of demons so Inu Yasha had moved on yet again to where he now was. He was on the bank of some river in the far east side of the huge forest. Up ahead the sound of a waterfall could be easily heard. The sounds sights and smells didn't matter all that mattered was that he kill something and he kill it now. He thought about searching for Koga but that wolf would be useless seeing as he had lost his shards to Naraku two weeks before this very day. The wolf was still fast, and a talented fighter but not good enough. Maybe a rest to think and plan was what was truly needed. As Sesshomaru's body leaned its back against a tree and settled down to a sitting position with one leg straight out and one leg bent close to his body. Inu Yasha couldn't believe how easy every thing seemed to be now that he was Sesshomaru.
