Chapter 35

October 24 dawned bright and clear. The residents of Jamesville began opening up their homes and few shops for the families set to arrive. The local tavern started barbequeing early in the morning. It wasn't long before the sweet smells of shrimp, fish and other sea scents filled the air along with the numerous seagulls that kept trying to steal some of the food.

The area was gayly decorated with balloons, streamers and such. The island was crowded, filled with the families and their fishermen who would leave at the stroke of midnight. This was an ample opportunity for the pups to be present all over the island, each armed with a cell phone walkie talkie, a sword, and a high caliber pistol or rifle.

Kowaro and his crew was the first to be alerted to something in Harington. William began a search of the ghost house and ran into Kagura and Kanna,

"So, you're one of his pups, are you?", Kagura said.

"What are you talking about?", said William.

"Don't mess with me, half-demon. You wouldn't be here if you weren't one of Inuyasha's sons. The humans can't see this house."

"Fine. So what if I am?"

"Because Kanna and I no longer want to be enslaved by Naraku."

"You ... you're gonna betray him?"

"On one condition. We want asylum in the demon world. They know who we are and we won't be able to survive without protection from a high ranking demon. I know Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha are the highest ranking demons in our world. Save us and we'll tell you all we know."

"How do I know I can trust you?"

"Because if you couldn't, Kanna would have had your soul sucked out of you by now."

"Good point. But, without an ok from my uncle or father, you stay with us here in Harington. After this is over, I'll talk to them about asylum. The choice is theirs alone to make. But you helping us will make a good impression."

"Fine. Let's go."

William brought Kagura and Kanna down to where his 10 siblings were staying. The sibling in command, Kowaro, was shocked at what William told him,

"So why the hell did you bring her here ... where Kanna can suck out ALL of our souls?", asked Kowaro.

"Because the 11 of us losing are souls are better than the whole clan. Would you rather me have taken her to the compound?", said William.

"Point taken.", said Kowaro.

Kowaro went over to where Kagura and Kanna stood,

"Ok. So give us what you know."

"Naraku is on the verge of death. Tonight is his last chance to redeem his body. Adimara is planning to cause multiple natural disasters starting with an earthquake in the north Pacific at around 1 pm. She will be shutting down all the Tsunami warning devicesin the regions. She's not just planning on Canada being hit, but also Japan, Indonesia and the United States. No one is safe."

"Why is she looking for so many deaths? Naraku needs only about 2000, right?"

"So you know? What you don't know is that Adimara wants to replace Kagome as Mystic Sorceress amongst the demons. She plans on killing Kagome, but the black magic she's using demands the sacrifice of over a million souls."

"A million? Is that possible?", asked Lily.

"Yes. If Tokyo gets hit with an unwarned Tsunami ... that's a million souls right there. Not including California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, and British Columbia.", said Kowaro.

"Adimara is planning a few major earthquakes along the faults as well.", advised Kagura.

"We need to let dad know. And quick.", said William.

Kowaro radioed his father and told him everything Kagura had told them. At first, he was skeptical because it came from Kagura but Sesshoumaru convinced him to accept it. Kagome hurried down to her library of spell books and scrolls and found a black magic book detaling spells using nature. Bringing it up to the room where Sesshoumaru, Kouga and Inuyasha waited, she informed them,

"There are quite a few spells in here she could use. And the can be used consecutively.", she advised the men.

"How do we stop her?", asked Kouga.

"I'm going to need some help. It will take more than just one sorceress to be able to stop these spells."

"You have the girls. They can help you.", said Inuyasha.

"I'm gonna need them.", she agreed.

"Now what about the Tsunami warning system. If she shuts that down ...", Kouga started.

"I'm on it, papa.", said Kentaro, "I'll pick up Jasmine in Jamesville and head to where the Tsunami control center is ..."

"Wait ... why Jasmine?", asked Inuyasha.

"Because she's the best at invisibility spells.", said Kentaro.

"I won't need her, Inuyasha, if that's what your thinking. Invisibility spells are her best spells. Better for her to go with Kentaro.", Kagome acknowledged.

"Where do we think she's going to start off these spells?", asked Kouga.

"Probably at the house in Harington. That's where the labyrinth is.", said Mashai.

"Fine. Mashai ... you go with Kagome and the girls. I'm trusting you. This is your chance to prove to me whose side you are on.", said Inuyasha.

"Right.", said Mashai.

Kagome radioed her daughters and soon 30 female pups were prepared to meet their mother to assist in spells. Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Kouga and Kagome donned the jewelry that would mask their identities. The men headed to Jamesville to confront Naraku while Mashai and Kagome headed to Harington to confront Adimara.

The war was on.
