Chapter 12: New Beginnings
An entire day had passed since Sango and Inuyasha left for the castle. Miroku's fever had gone, but Kagome and Shippo kept him in bed.
"What's taking them. It's almost dawn and their not back…" said Shippo looking out the window.
"I'm going to find them. Shippo, stay here and watch Mir…" Kagome was interrupted by a Shippo who was now outside jumping up and down outside.
"Their back Kagome!!! Their back!!" yelled the little fox demon.
Kagome and Miroku both ran outside next to Shippo. Kagome was standing there with tear filled eyes and her hands covering her mouth in shock. Miroku also had tear filled eyes watching the road before him.
And there walking towards them ob the road five people were walking towards them in a straight line. Inuyasha, Shin, Sango, Kilala, and Kohaku had returned… Inuyasha was leaning on Shin for support, Kohaku was riding on Kilala, and Sango was walking to them using her Hiraikotsu to keep her standing. They were all covered in blood and bruises, but they were smiling and laughing.
Shippo, Kagome, and Miroku ran to their friends. Shippo ran into Shin's arms, Kagome into Inuyasha's, and Miroku into Sango's.
"Oh thank god your all alright!! We were so worried!!" said Kagome who was now hugging Inuyasha crying.
"Im sorry Kagome, but we were having some fun at the castle." Inuyasha looked over at his comrades from the battle and they all broke into laughter.
"What's so funny?" asked Miroku looking around just as confused as Kagome and Shippo.
"Miroku… let me see your hand." Said Sango. Miroku gave her his cursed hand with a questionable look on his face. Sango quickly took of the prayer beads and opened wide the cloth over the tunnel.
"What're you…!? Huh…?" Miroku was waiting for the wind to start going into his hand, but nothing happened. "W- what's going on!?" yelled Miroku who was now waving his hand and arms around trying to make the wind tunnel work.
"This might explain things." Said Kohaku. He reached behind him on Kilala's back and threw a white baboon fur coat onto the ground covered in blood. Kagome, Miroku, and Shippo just stared at it for minutes.
"You guys… and he's…but we weren't…" said Miroku trying so hard, but he couldn't make a sentence.
"Let me try…Kohaku and I are now free from Naraku and all his incarnations are dead. And the Sacred Jewel is back and completely purified." Shin smiled and pulled out from the necklace around her neck and it glowed its beautiful pick color.
"That's great!! But what about the shard inside of Kohaku and you?" asked Kagome now concerned.
"They've been completely purified so we decided we're just going to leave them there. They can't do any harm to us." Said Shin and her and Kohaku smiled.
"Thank you Shinsei…" said Sango starting to swell with tears of joy.
"No problem Sango, but right now…" Shin fell into the grass behind her smiling and putting her arms behind her head. "I just want a really long nap…."
Everyone broke into laughter right there enjoying and praising the five that had killed the demon they had been searching for, for a long time. At that point in time, they couldn't tell that everything was going to change…
Chapter 13: The Four Winds
It took months for the five friends to recover from battle with Naraku. During that time they went back to Kaede's village being forced to stay inside and rest by Kagome. Sango and Kohaku spent a great deal of time
