Chapter 9: Friends and Foes
kay i know this is a short chapter but its all i had time to write in this last week i had. i will be gone for a month so im going to leave you guys in major suspence.
After three days of searching Inuyasha and Shin found their friends and were all back at Kaede's village. After recovering, Shin spent a lot of time training with Kagome and had become even stronger then her. After training for 2 weeks straight Kagome had to return home for some big exams and thanks to Shin's tutoring she was confident on her abilities on passing.
After she left Shin began doing special training with each of her friends. Miroku and her spent half of their days meditating. He also taught her how to use sutras suited for her powers. But Inuyasha always kept an eye on them from a distance ready to kill Miroku if he tried anything pervish. Shippo taught her how to use the special arts of transformation, trickery, and many other special fox techniques. Sango and Kilala taught her how to pick out demons disguised as humans. Sango and Shin also had special sparring sessions where they only used their martial arts and wits to knock each other out of a largely drawn circle. Kaede taught her about different herbs and Shin helped her around the village.
Shin was beginning to feel like she fit in somewhere. "I have a bunch of friends and a village to help protect. Now I know I'm home…." One day, Inuyasha decided to train Shin on how to fight with a sword, mainly Tetsusaiga. He took her out to a meadow away from the village hoping not to destroy to much.
"Okay, since I'm the only one who can use Tetsusaiga…" he held the sword by the sheath out at arms length.
And before he finished Shin reached out and pulled the great fang from it's sheath and held it in the air completely transformed. "Well now your not the only one…but…it's kinda heavy…!?" Shin couldn't hold it up any longer and it fell to the ground. When it hit 5 long electric streaks flew away from the sword and then faded away. She just stared at the scarred earth then yelled at Inuyasha behind her scared. "WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED!?"
"Its called the Wind Scar. It's one of the swords special attacks. It took me months to learn it…and you learned it in 5 minutes!!!" he moved away, sat down and sulked. "I suck…..hm?" he stood up quickly and sniffed around. "What is that…SHINSEI!!!!" Shin had collapsed completely out cold onto the ground. "This miasma….It must poison foxes…dammit!" as he went to run to her he fell to his knees coughing and gasping for air. A thick dark purple layer of miasma covered the area.
"Inuyasha you fool…. It was pointless to think that this girl would never go back to the darkness…heheheh….." a white baboon appeared in front of him from the mist.
"Naraku…" Inuyasha looked up at him in pain from the miasma. "I won't let you….take…her…auggg!" he collapsed onto his stomach in great pain.
"Kohaku… take the girl back to the castle, but place this is her heart…" Naraku threw to him a blackened jewel shard emitting his immense demonic power.
"Yes master Naraku." Kohaku called the poisonous insects as he put Shin limply over his shoulders. They created a barrier and they disappeared into the sky.
"S-shinsei….no…." Inuyasha said reaching out his hand then his mind faded and he became unconscious.
Naraku only smiled evilly. "Heheheheh….this girl will greatly help in my search for the jewel." His voice faded into the darkness and he disappeared.
Back at Kaede's everyone was becoming worried as their friends didn't return as the moon appeared. Sango, Kilala, and Kagome went out searching as the moonless night began. They flew to a large meadow outside the village and saw a human Inuyasha laying in the grass.
"Inuyasha!!" yelled Kagome as she ran over to help him.
"He's been poisoned by a miasma, but it won't kill him. We should hurry and get him back to Kaede's" Kagome nodded and put him on Kilala's back. Sango looked around the area and found a rusted Tetsusaiga and white hairs next to it. "Naraku…he got her…damn…." She thought to herself as she picked up the sword and went home with her friends. She explained everything to everyone as soon as they returned.
"If Naraku does have Shinsei he will most likely use a shard to control her like Kohaku. With them against us it will make this war even more difficult…." Said Miroku punching the floor with his hand.
"If we're not careful… Naraku, Shin, and Kohaku could be the strongest people we will ever face." Said Sango staring into the fire.
