Browsing-Lurker: Thank you for your insight. im afraid my samurai Jack isn't as Good as I remember. I wrote most of this chapter before your review actually. I agree that it's possible Sango's and Miroku's tactics might not work on Aku, but they will still have their uses. As will Michiru and the others. Also,I don't believe the sword is as powerful as the shikon jewel. The effects of his sword would only be super-effective against aku and Naraku,since they are demons with Blackest hearts. Anyways,this is my take on the story. But please feel free to leave comments on what should happen next or what i could do to change it.
Kagome Opened her eyes and She coughed out a bit,her eyes swelled up tight again in pain.
"Oh god,this place smells putrid! what is this?!"She groaned out. Her eyes tried to take whatever they could and she tried to move. She couldn't though, she was tied to a concrete wall with what appeared to be Chains. She coughed again from the purple miasma seeping into the room. She noticed Kaname across the room from her and She tried to call out to her.
"Kaname! Kaname! Can you hear me?!" She shouted out,and then coughed again as the miasma filled her lungs. Kaname began to stir as she coughed in the miasma as well.
"Oh God! It feels like my body is burning!" She gagged out. She noticed Kagome and freaked out*
"Kagome! What's going on?! Where are we?!" She yelled out. Kagome shook her head and yelled back to her.
"I don't know! But this miasma is like poison! See if you can clear it with your blue sky purification!"
Kaname nodded and closed her eyes
"Oh overflowing blue sky..rain us down with your blessing! blue sky purification!" She shouted out as her body glowed blue. A pentagram appeared beneath her and the room suddenly filled with rain,soaking the both of them,Kagome shivered a little but she could breath again as the storm ended. Kaname's pentagram changed to Red as She lifted her hand up to her chain
"Oh flame burning bright, turn into a sun of wrath!" She exclaimed. A flame appeared into her hand and She used it to melt the chains on her arms. after a few minutes, she broke them off and Ran over to Kagome. She used her flames to melt off the chains of her wrists and after a few minutes,both girls were unchained and dry.
Unfortunately, there was no exit except for a small hole near the top of the roof neitherr of them could reach it,and they tried all of the techniques they could think of. not even Kagomes Spiritual Arrow combined with Kaname's 5-star blaster did anything to the wall. except make a chip come off. They fell against eachother,panting,exhausted from their attacks.
"I don't understand! Nothing we do can affect these wals! Naraku didn't have anything this powerful!" Kagome shot out,panting hard.
"M-Maybe it's Aku! He has the Shikon Jewel now! He might have been able to build this wall to trap us inside!" Kaname choked out between breaths. "but maybe I can send a message to Michiru Where we are.." Kaname said as She Pulled out a piece of paper. Kagome nodded in agreement. Kaname folded The sheet into a Bird and it glows with a green aura. She throws it through the Small hole and it flies away.
"NOw..We wait.." Kaname said. She collapsed on the ground next to kagome and Sighed,the two girls resting.
- Meanwhile-
"YOU!" Inuyasha Yelled,pointing his tetsusaiga at Jack. "You're the one who Brought that thing here and Take them! this is all your fault!: He snarled,and then he charged at Jack.
"Inuyasha!" Michiru Shot out. He got in front of the two and put his hands out. but Jack Got in front of Michiru and held his Sword up. Inuyasha's Blade clashed into Jack's and Jack pushed him back with ease. INuyasha jumped back and held his saber out.
"I understand your need to find your friends My friend, but we have no reason to Quarrel. We have a common Enemy, and I do not wish to fight you." Jack said as he sheathed his sword. Michiru looked stunned at this, inuyasha Snarled,but eventually calmed down, placing his Tetsusaiga back in his Sheath.
"In any case" Miroku Chipped in. "We should press on, It seemed like Aku was heading towards the Mountains. Which means we're probably gonna Run into Koga Soon."
INuyasha's Golden Eyes Turned to Miroku. "What? We're gonna have to get past Wolf-boy?! Come on! we can't stand him with Kagome around and now he's gonna follow along!"
"uhh..Excuse me Monk..who is this ' Koga'? " Jack ashed, Shippo Answered For miroku.
"Koga is our Friend in the mountains, he is a wolf-demon who leads the Pack, with his friends Ginta and Hakkaku."
"You'll probably recognize him if you see him. He usually has a tornado surrounding him." sango added.
"Enough of the chitchat then!" Inuyasha Barked at them "the more time we waste here,the less time we have to rescue Kagome and Kaname!
Each of them nodded,but before they could step farther a Lightning bolt struck the ground right where inuyasha was a second ago,blowing them all Back. From the lightning bolt, came what appeared to be a Cow,with an old man on top of it. he was Dressed in a kimono that was Black and Green Striped all over.
"Totosai!" Sango exclaimed!
"Oh great, what are you doing here,old man?" Inuyasha grumbled, walking over to The cow.
"I came here because I felt some unknown sword energy coursing through the grounds." Totosai said in a sort of high pitched,old man voice. Jack stared at the old man called Totosai. He must have been hundreds of years old. His Beard was so Grey it looked like it had Died and his skin was so sallowed in he almost looked like a skull. NOt to mention his eyes looked like they were about to pop out of their sockets.
"Sword Energy? The only one here with swords are Inuyasha,Myself and Jack." Sango told old Man.
"Hm? Jack? Who's That?" The old man asked, putting his finger in his ear and rubbing it. He turned and found Jack, looking him up and down.
"Oho! So you've got a new member to your party do you? I swear your party is growing every day to new numbers, I remember still when The Kururugis joined your party as well." Totosai said with a grin. Michiru nodded and Sango Blushed a little.
"Hello Totosai, It is nice to meet you." Jack said quietly,going into a bow.
"He is at least polite. Inuyasha,you could use a few lessons from him" Totosai Exclaimed.
*WHAM* Inuyasha rammed his fist into the back of Totosai's Head. A big Lump appeared on the back of his head and Jack's eyes widened.
"What is the meaning of this, Inuyasha?!" Jack questioned angrily,glaring at the Dog Half-Demon in front of him. "Do you have no respect for your elders?!"
"It is..alright young Jack..I've become used to the pain after a while.." Totosai said while rubbing his spot where the lump was. "Now,what was I saying? Oh yeah, the sword energy i felt was very unfamiliar to me. Jack, I presume your sword is responsible for this?"
"ehhh..I suppose so.." Jack replied, not truly understanding. He looked over to the others for some understanding. Michiru answered his questioning Gaze.
"Totosai Is a master swordcrafter, he is the one who created Inuyasha's Blade,the Tetsusaiga, for Inuyasha's Father. He also created The Tenseiga and the sounga, which are extremely powerful magical blades." Michiru told Jack.
"I see..Master Totosai..how may we be of service to you with this disturbance?" Jack asked. Inuyasha crossed his arms impatiently,scoffing a bit. Totosai Ignored him and looked down at Jack's blade.
"Young Jack, May I see your blade?" Totosai Asked. Jack obliged and took out his magical sword from its Sheathe. He handed it over to Totosai,and Looked it over.
"Hmm.." Totosai looked at it in different positions over and over, before striking it against the ground. It bounced back up and totosai almost lost his grip* "This sword is Incredibly powerful! I daresay that Nothing could probably destroy this blade!" Totosai exclaimed. Inuyasha's Eyes bulged out and the others gasped.
"An unbreakable sword?! Is that possible?!" Sango Asked. Totosai looked over at Jack and tilted his head.
"Yet..I sense nothing from you young man..you May be of noble spirit and you show incredible potential,but you are,just a human." Totosai asked.
"And What's so bad about being a human,may I ask?" Miroku interjected. Totosai put his hand up in repose.
"I meant no offense monk, i meant that there is nothing about this man that makes him special except this sword. Now this sword. I have never felt anything so..otherworldy I should say. Jack, what do you know about this sword.
"I do not know much about it..but I know That it was my father's..He had tried to use it against aku,but Blade was forged by the Gods." Jack explained. Everyone's eyes widened at this statement.
"The Gods you say? ohh what a blade,what a blade..no wonder it's unbreakable..but I'm afraid..so much potential..it seems like a waste..perhaps,I could take a look at it? Maybe make it better than it was before?" Totosai requested.
"erm..I'm not sure..I've known that sword so long..but if you say you can make it better..I suppose so.." Jack stated flatly,though the effect made totosai jump like a child.
"Yay! I'll make this blade the best you've ever seen my boy!" Totosai Exclaimed,but inuyasha interrupted.
"Excuse me, but I'm afraid we have a certain couple of girls we have to go after?" Inuyasha reminded them. Everyone's eyes widened and they turned to totosai.
"Jack,will you be alright without your sword for a bit?" Totosai Asked the young swordsman.
"I will be fine.. I have been trained in many kinds of chinese and japanese martial arts. including Monkey,snake, and leopard. I can defend myself thank you,but please hurry. The only thing that can destroy Aku is that blade." Jack Explained. Shippo Went into a thinking pose.
"hmm..Ah! I have an idea! Inuyasha! Use the Dragon-scaled Tetsusaiga on this blade, that way you can absorb its power to fight Aku." He explained,but inuyasha just grunted.
"I'm afraid that wouldn't work Shippo." Sango Told the young Fox-Child.
"Huh? Why not?" Shippo asked.
"The Dragon-scaled tetsusaiga is good for absorbing energy,that is true" Miroku explained. "But I'm afraid that the Energy infused in Jack's Blade isn't Demonic energy,and the Dragon scaled tetsusaiga would have no effect on it."
"Meaning my tetsusaiga can't touch Jack's Blade's powers." Inuyasha Finished.
Shippo's ears lowered at that. 'Oh,I understand.."
"Which mean, if Jack's blade isn't with us, we could be vulnerable to attack." Michiru commented. Kirara Growled a bit,sitting on Michiru's shoulder. "We should think of a way of fighting off Both Aku and Naraku."
"Than I shall leave you all to it. Jack, I will be back as soon as possible with a better Sword than before." Totosai said. Then he got back on his cow (named momo) and the cow floated away.
Miroku Thought for a second.
"If the only thing that can truly hurt aku is that sword, Then I'm not really sure if Sango or I could even Do Damage To Aku. My wind Tunnel could be useless." He Looked at him.
"What about Hiraikotsu? It was forged with the bones of Demons." Sango Asked. Michiru stepped up there.
"I don't think that would work Sango. Your hiraikotsu may be made from demons,but the demons were still of the earth. I don't think it would have any effect on Aku." Michiru explained.
Michiru started pacing back and forth. "Of course, that might also mean my shikigami powers might not work on him as well. our best asset would be jack..let's hope totosai hurries up with it then." Michiru finished,before his ear twitched. He heard a familiar noise, almost like a tornado.
"hm?" Michiru turned around. Inuyasha's nose went up and he sniffed the air. His Growl became more pronounced.
"I'm starting to smell Wolf..The mangy Koga is on his way here.." Inuyasha snarled. Jack Tilted his head a bit as the trees began to rustle. In a few short moments A giant hurricane Shot out of the trees towards them. Jack got into a fighting stance as the hurricane shot towards them faster,but before it struck them,it faded,to reveal a man.
The Man had Dark Brown hair pulled up into a ponytail,With a Brown headband around it. His arms and legs were Pretty muscled and had fur armlets and upper body was covered in a Grey armored Shirt,and on his side was a Katana in its sheathe. Like inuyasha he was also barefoot,but he had bandages wrapped around his feet, making it easier for him to run.
"Hey Mutt. I thought I smelled you 's Kagome and the other shikigami chick?" Koga demanded of Inuyasha in a brisk,deep voice.
"Naraku's got ahold of Kagome and Kaname with the help of his new partner." Michiru explained to Koga,who turned to look at him. Koga Reeled around to inuyasha and his face grew red.
"YOU MORON! YOU LET KAGOME GET TAKEN HOSTAGE?! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU YOU STUPID DOG!" He shouted at Inuyasha. Inuyasha growled back,his ears twitching in anger
"It wasn't my fault you stupid wolf! Its the pajama boy over there who brought the freak here!" Inuyasha retorted. Jack Stepped back as the Wolf-demon turned towards him.
"Please! I have no quarrel with you! it was an accident that what happened to your friend,and I will help to save them both!" Jack quickly protested.
The Wolf-Demon (whom was named koga) Glowered at the samurai and then began to laugh.
"You?! Find Kagome and Kaname?! That's a laugh! you look pathetic! Scrawny weakling!" Koga boasted. Inuyasha,surpringly defended Jack. (though he didn't realize it)
"That's not really much to say,coming from you scrawny wolf! I could use your bones as toothpicks!" Inuyasha Glowered.
"Whad you say Dog-breath?! You want a Taste of My fist?!" Koga Yelled back at inuyasha.
"GENTLEMEN! PLEASE!" Jack jumped in between them. "This is no time for fighting! We must hurry up before Aku gets ready to hatch another plan!"
"He's Right Inuyasha! Koga!" Sango Hurriedly told them. "It's no doubt by now that Aku has met naraku!With those two together, I fear this could be even more dangerous than we thought!"
KOga snapped his neck back and glowered at Jack. "Fine then,but you, We're fighting,now." Koga smirked,showing a fang in his mouth. Jack recoiled a bit.
"Did you not just hear Sango,you dumb wolf?!" Inuyasha Growled at the Wolf-demon. "We have to go and rescue Kagome and kaname now!"
Koga's eyes wavered at inuyasha beore darting back to Jack. He got into a fighting stance and Jack sighed.
"Of course Iheard her. Thats why im doing this. This Guy doesn't have any weapon at all,and he's just gona pummel Naraku? He probably doesn't even have any jewel shards!" Koga roared back at inuyasha. Jack's Eyes widened.
"Priestess Kagome still had my Jewel Shard when that old man came..she never gave it back to me. ." Jack said flatly,though inuyasha picked up on it.
"WHAT?! ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT WE JUST GAVE NARAKU ANOTHER SHIKON JEWEL SHARD?!"" Inuyasha Screamed at Jack,wrapping his arms around Jack's Neck.
"Inuyasha,Drop him! It wasn't his fault!" Sango Ran up to INuyasha and pulled him off of Jack. Jack coughed a little bit,caught off guard.
"I assure you Koga..I am most familiar with hardened battles. If I must Fight with you,then so be it."
Jack got into an odd stance koga had never seen before. His hands were up by his face with his left foot pointed out.
"hmph! This match Will be finished before it even starts!" Koga said as He Rushed Towards the Battle-ready Samurai.
