Chapter 6
Sango, Miroku, Kagura and Sesshomaru all sat in silence. They had no idea what to talk about. It wasn't until Miroku cleared his throat and asked, "So, has Kyashi attacked you recently?"
"No, the full learned the first time not to attack me. Has he attacked your village?" Sesshomaru answered.
"No, Kagome was able to help Miroku and Kaede with a barrier before she joined Inuyasha and I in the battle." Sango replied.
"Kagome will be the new priestess in our village soon." Miroku added in a sad voice.
"I'm sorry to hear that. Would you both like some help with the protection of your village?" Kagura asked.
"Thank you, we would like that." Sango answered before Miroku could say anything.
"Father! Mother!" Rin was heard as she ran in with a cut on her arm.
Kagura quickly got her fan while Sesshomaru readied his poison whip. Just as Rin reached her parents, Shippo flew into the room as he slammed against the final wall. While Sango reached for her weapon, Miroku grabbed his stuff and stood next to a transformed Kirara. Just as Kagura got Rin out of the way, a dragon demon walked in as if it were his home and looked around. It was clear that he worked for Kyashi. Just as he was about to turn around to leave, Sesshomaru slammed him against the wall and pinned him down before he growled out, "What are you doing here?"
"We know she's here. Lord Kyashi knows that she is here. We have come to retrieve Princess Jezebeth." He answered as he tried to get free of the inu demons hold.
"How dare you hurt my daughter!" Kagura hissed before she threw her wind blades at the demon.
Meanwhile, Kagome and Sota quickly stood to their feet and waited to see if anyone would attack them. Once they realized that they were targeting the others and the children, Sota turned to his sister and watched in amazement as she began to glow a deep blue color. Kagome turned to her brother and said, "Go and help everyone, I have to go and find my son."
"But sis…you can't go alone. What about you're…" Sota began before he realized what was going on. He could feel the similar aura from his vision.
"I'll be alright…just go and help the others." She growled before she took off.
"Damn it…I'm going to kill those bastards." Sota said as he looked around for a weapon that he had been trained to use.
Emeri had just telling Inuyasha everything about her and Sota. She even told him how she thought that they had made a mistake to have done that so early. She wasn't even sure if he saw her as Emeri or as Jezebeth. Once Inuyasha had got her to stop crying he said, "Well, then you'll just have to talk to him and tell him everything you told me. Mates are for life and you can't let it fall apart. Yes, you'll have your ups and downs but you will always be together."
Unable to hold back her laughter, Emeri laughed and said, "You got that from Kagome."
"Feh, come…we have to get back." Inuyasha growled.
"No, you hanyou have to go back, the princess is going to come with us. Now where is she?" a familiar voice was heard.
"Damn it…what the hell to you want Waku?" Inuyasha growled as he placed Emeri behind him while withdrawing Tetsusiga.
"Like I said, I've come for our princess…now where is she? Where is Princess Jezebeth? My lord has already seen her with you dogs." Waku growled.
"Blades of Blood!" Kagome was heard as she appeared next to Inuyasha.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Inuyasha growled.
"They attacked the castle…Inuyasha…I can't find Shippo." Kagome whispered in a fear filled voice.
'No…not this again…Shippo…' Emeri thought as she took a step back and closed her eyes before she said, "Be he far, Be he near, I summon now my brother or the past, Shippo return to me."
Waku, Inuyasha and Kagome all turned to see Emeri only to see her surrounded in a bright white light. As they light began to fade they could hear her say, "Shh…it's alright Shippo…I'm here…it's me…your sister."
"Jezebeth? Am I dead?" a sad Shippo asked.
"No, but my name is Emeri. I was just adopted by your parents."
"Rin…we have to help Rin!" Shippo exclaimed.
"I'll go…you guys better be careful." Emeri said as she turned to leave only to be stopped by a dragon behind her.
"You are not going anywhere." She growled.
"Yes I am." Emeri hissed as she began to glow a dark black color. It was a mixture of her miko and wizardry powers that no one from this time knew how to fight off.
"Bitch!" the dragoness roared before she slammed the Emeri against a tree. Not wanting to endanger her brother, Emeri closed her eyes and used a transporting spell along with the last of her wizardry powers to send him to Sesshomaru and Kagura.
"Emeri!" Kagome yelled.
'You have to do it.' Her inner dragon said.
'There is no other choice now.' Her inner inu demon added.
'I know…just…uh…take me true from hidden until I meet with him.' Emeri growled back as she allowed her transformation to take place. Waku and the dragoness watched in amazement as the girl before them began to change. Once the changes were done, Emeri stood up and said, "How dare you do this to my family. I princess Jezebeth order you to stop."
"He was right…we knew that they had faked your death. Come my princess, Lord Kyashi is waiting." Waku said.
"What of my grandmother?" Jezebeth asked.
"She is in the eastern lands. We left our home lands knowing that we would once again find you." The dragoness stated.
"You name." Jezebeth hissed.
"I am sorry for my attack on you my princess. I am Lilly."
Emeri turned to Inuyasha and Kagome and smiled before she said, "I'm sorry but I guess we weren't able to do this after all." Before she turned back to the two dragons to say, "I want to go and get the others that are attacking the castle. You have found me so there is no more need for violence."
"Of course my Princess…Waku…lets go." Lilly growled as she easily transformed and waited for Jezebeth to claim on.
Sota had arrived to find, Rin crying over Shippo's knocked out form and Kagura barely holding her own. Sango and Miroku were badly injured and they were being protected by the two tailed demon cat. Just as he was about to form a barrier around the two of them, the dragons stopped their attacks and took a step back while they felt a huge demonic aura. Before Kagura or Sesshomaru could say anything they heard a familiar voice say, "We're leaving and you all will no longer attack these lands or these people." as the dragon demons were lifted up into the air.
"Yes…Princess Jezebeth." The dragons replied as they waited for her to put them down.
"Jezebeth?" Sota asked.
"Sesshomaru I trust that you will take EVERYONE safe." Jezebeth stated as she turned around to leave. As she did so she opened the link she had with Sota and said, 'I'm sorry but it's the only way…I have to do this…even if I have to act like the one you really wanted to be with.' before she closed off the link.
Without a second thought Sota quickly ran to Shippo's side and healed him. He knew that he would be able to save him so that his sister wouldn't be sad. After healing Shippo, Sota slowly fell to the floor as he used all of his energy so that he could talk with Emeri without any of the dragon demons realizing it. The last thing he heard was his sister's voice calling out to him as his body was lifted off of the floor. 'Sorry sis but I need to be linked with her…I need to know that she is safe.' Sota thought.
A/N: Well there you have it. I'm sad to say but this is going to be one of my shortest fics. I just hope you all are enjoying this small project as I continue to work on my new fics.
