Jealousy Of a Mercenary
88wd: sorry for taking so long to upgrade seeing that my mother threatened to take the computer away. So if it takes a lot longer to upgrade these stories I'm sorry, that would meant that I have to use the local library to type my stories which make it even a slower progress in my typing than anything. Please review on what you think so far. And thanks for continuing reading my stories no matter how long it takes for me to post up a new chapter. Happy Mother's Day!
Chapter 6
"Tell me what do you mean by that? More importantly where exactly am I?" Kagome was confuse what is happening just bellow them. 'Why is everything happens to me?' she thought, as Hiro came to stand next to her as he watch as his past self fighting with the Elemental Spirit bellow them. Not turning away from the fight only glancing time to time on the corner of his eye to watch the young miko's reaction.
"Like I said my Lady, this what led to the creation of the jewel. You see after Kizalen was banished from her fellow comrades for thinking such thoughts of destroying both demon and humans from who she deems must die. She was dead set to keep this world from being destroyed by humans who are slowly polluting as time goes on and demons who destroy areas in wars and fights for wealth and power. Nature Spirits are the ones that help keep the nature of the world in balance each elemental spirits controls over a certain element so all are harmonize and not being use for their own greed. Because of this they all share equal power and since their power realized on the natural elements of the earth that are very well in tunned which could sense, hear and feel the Earth pain. Right now we are in your dream, I am showing you this in your dreams by the power of the jewel," the inu yokai explained as both continued to watch the battle.

"Do not dare put me with you vile scum, once I get my hands on the "Sword of Judgement" you can say good-bye to all demons and humans alike. If by chance I'm merciful enough they may live but under my rule, for I shall pass judgement to all of you vile creatures from what I see fit. You are all alone for your allies either turn tail and ran wanting to save their own skin, betrayed you, or were killed by me or my minions," Kizalen jump away and ran towards him again.
"I thing not, he is not alone. And I will see to that you are stop here and now, Nature Spirit," a girl's voice echoed in the clearing as an arrow shot toward the evil spirit of nature. The arrow purified Kizalen's dark aura and almost fatally wounded her as the arrow narrowly missed her heart.
"You dare to shoot at me, miko. You of all people should know that demons are deceitful and how corrupted many humans are. You will die here with him," but the spirit escape through the woods since she is no condition to continue fighting two even if one was incapacitated at the moment. The young miko rushed toward the inu yokai's side to see what the damage the spirit had done.
"Are you all right? Hiro she didn't hurt you that badly did she?" as she use her miko powers to heal what ever wounds that can be clearly seen from injuries Kizalen had inflicted on her friend.
"I'm fine Midoriko. What's more important that we have to keep Kizalen from finding out where that sword is located. You have to keep training to prevent Kizalen from getting hold of it, right now you not completed your training in unlocking your hidden power or skill enough to defeat her," Hiro remark as he let himself be aided by a young looking Midoriko to his feet.
"Jeeze so much faith you have on me. But what can we do? Even if I manage to grow stronger, do you really thing we'll manage to stop her just the two of us?" Midoriko look up to her demon friend.
"I am not sure that is why we must train. Kizalen won't appear any time soon from those wounds I inflicted on her and that purifying arrow you shot at her," Hiro said as both individuals disappeared as a new scene played out.

From what Kagome could see was that several years pass, the Midoriko she had last seen was a girl of fifteen now a woman of twenty as the Midoriko she saw watch both Hiro and herself fighting off the demon hordes Kizalen had send their way.
"Lord Hiro, what is happening now? You have not explain on what you meant by your imprisonment," Kagome ask as the past Hiro held onto Kizalen urging for Midoriko to cast the spell now before she could escape from his grasp.
"Midoriko, had placed a spell over Kizalen to be sealed within the holy mountain. She used an ancient spell in order to do that, however I was sealed within Midoriko sword because of a demon managing interrupt her spell before it was fully completed. The final stage of that spell was to keep Kizalen imprisoned and never escape even if the mountain was destroyed. Kizalen was indeed imprisoned within the holy barrier," Hiro said as both watch Midoriko being devoured by demons as the last minute used her last strength to extract their soul and hers out causing the creation of the jewel.
"Midoriko tired from the spell as well as fighting all of Kizalen's minions, many of the demons took this opportunity to kill Midoriko since she was much of a threat to them. Using her last ounce of strength she cast both her soul and that of the demons crating the jewel you have now in your possession," he said as everything around of them change as both stood in a meadow of flowers.
"Why have you shown me this? Lord Hiro" Kagome question as she saw a sad smile on his face as he look down to her.
"I need your help, I need you to free me from my prison but in order to that you must find Midoriko's sword. You see it is Midoriko's sword that is the key because it was used to hide "Judgement," within its spell encase handle lies the map where to locate the sword. We must find that sword and completely destroyed so no other evil figure would dare use it to hurt many lives or conquer worlds. The last time that sword was used cause so much blood shed in the Roman era that cause the Roman Empire to fall and caused the invasion of Troy in Ancient Greek (A/N: Not sure of that dates but bare with it please) as many wars and famine spread across the land. We have to before Kizalen or another evil as well by the name of Onigumo finds it before we could reach it," he said seriously.
"But how can I find this Midoriko's sword? How am I going to free you? Or destroy Judgement I thought that Midoriko sealed Kizalen in the holy mountain..Ohh Naraku destroyed that mountain releasing all those demons but also that spirit. Wait how is Onigumo still alive?!! " the vixen miko panic at the sudden realization.
"Calm yourself, vixen all is not lost. Kizalen needs time to gather her energy which will take some time, when sealing her away in her holy prison it strip off her power feeding the barrier that protected the submit from demons and keeping the demons that had seal from escaping as well. You defeated Naraku, yes. But you purified the demon side only the human side remains yet still kept few of its demon powers. I will be there to help you every step of the way. If you need any help use the jewel to contact me since Midoriko and I had a strong sibling bond and I had adopted her as my sister through yokai law," as Hiro's gently removed a stray hair from her eyes and placed it behind her ear.
"You are the keeper of the jewel, you are Midoriko's successor which has the power to undo the spell on me," his image began to disappeared along with their surroundings. As she began to wake up she could hear his last words echoed inside the dark recess of her mind whispering against her ear and felt a encouraging embrace before it began to fade away, "I have faith in you, and I will be there when you need me." His kind soothing words gave her warmth as she open her eyes only to met with a pair of sapphire eyes looking down at her as their owner stood next to her from the bed where she lay.
