Hijiri-sama narrowed her eyes as she sensed someone building up their youki. 'InuYasha!'
She turned around and started gathering the necessary equipments that she needed for a ritual that would come up soon. 'Do not interfere with my plans, InuYasha.'A ritual that would come up very soon.
Slowly a girl clad in pure white emerged.
"Kanna." Hijiri-sama turned her attention towards the child-youkai. "Prepare for your next task."
Kanna bowed respectfully. "Yes Hijiri-sama," she replied in an empty voice.
KOIMIZU'S VILLAGE:
This was it: his end.
Slowly but surely the fear that was buried deep inside Naraku started to rise. It rose in volumes and spilled over, displaying itself onto his face that, for the first time in his life, looked mortified. He stared with wide eyes as InuYasha made a jump, the Tessaiga held high above his head, ready to slay him.
An arrow seared through the sky, alerting InuYasha and he moved his weight to duck the deadly purification powers. As he landed on his knees, he whipped his head around and growled at the attacker.
Koimizu shot him a glare. "I will not allow you to hurt those I hold dear," he sneered.
Shippou gaped at the boy. Kagome stared at him in shock. Sango was struck speechless.
"Do you even know who he is?" Miroku asked incredulously. "He is evil! Thousands of deaths stand on his name! Look at this village we're in!" And he gestured wildly around him.
Pinning Miroku with a look, Koimizu pulled out another arrow from his holster. "The chaos in this village is not for him to blame. And I know Naraku's reputation," he answered. "But I owe him my gratitude. I will not allow you to touch a single hair on his head."
"Your gratitude!?" Kagome gave him a look of disbelieve. "Naraku has done nothing good! He has not helped you. Don't you see? He is using you for one of his own vile plans!"
InuYasha shook his head. "Enough!" He stood up and shot Koimizu one of his glares. "If you stand in between me and Naraku, kid, I'll kill you first!"
Koimizu readied himself for another attack…
A flash lightened up the entire area, blinding InuYasha and his group. InuYasha shut his eyes tightly. 'What the hell is this light?' The other members of his group tried to block out the offending light as well.
Slowly the painfully bright light subsided and InuYasha dared to crack one eye open.
"What on earth!"
His pack decided that it was save to look again and they opened their eyes. Only to be met with an empty field. No burning village. No chaos. No corpses.
'Where have you gone, Naraku?'thought InuYasha as he looked around him.
The smell of blood and death still lingered in the air…
