Sesshoumaru walked around the barrier, trying to find a way in. So far, there were no weaknesses that he could spot. He already tried touching it and got burned in the process. He growled in frustration under his breath as he racked his brain for a way to get in. A memory from long ago when he was with his father came up.
Sesshoumaru looked at the useless sword that his father had given him. The Heavenly Sword Tenseiga, able to raise 100 from the dead.
"Father, why give me this sword?" He asked, he had no use for this sword. He would rather have the Sword of Destruction, the Tetsusaiga.
"You need to learn the value of life and not to forsake it."
"I have no need for the use for such a sword. Tetsusaiga I would much rather have."
"Do you have someone to protect?" The question caught him off guard? Did he have someone to protect?
"I protect noone." He answered.
"Then you shall not have Tetsusaiga." His father then left him to seethe in anger on top of the hill, with Tenseiga still in his grip. He tied the sword to his hip, thinking that he'd never use it.
He blinked as the memory faded. He had forgotten all about the sword, putting away forever. He closed his eyes in concentration and called to the forgotten sword.
Tenseiga.
-------------
From somewhere deep in the basement, a sword vibrated. It lifted up into the air, surrounded by light as it heard its master's call. It hovered a moment before zipping through the air, bursting through the door. It passed by a surprised InuTaisho, who looked after for a moment. Then he smiled and continued walking down the hall. The sword continued through the forest into Sesshoumaru's outstretched hand.
-------------
Sesshoumaru clutched the sword in his hands, it was his last chance at saving Kagome. As a test, he stuck his arm out towards the barrier, expecting to be shocked. Lucky for him, his hand went right through it. The purity of the sword was too great for the barrier and allowed him through. Making sure to hide his youki as he made his way across the barren field towards the castle.
------------
Once he was inside, he used his sense of smell to locate the foul smelling hanyou. He traced to a room that allowed no light whatsoever to enter. I twas barren except for a small table with a wooden-like doll laying atop it. Naraku was sitting by the window with Kagura standing in front of him, a bored look on her face.
"What are going to do with the girl?" She asked.
"We will use her in our plan to find the Shikon no Tama, I know she has it. Once we have it, I will make her mine for all eternity. With her by my side and with the Shikon no Tama in my hands, no one will be able to oppose me." He chuckled darkly as Kagura smirked.
-------------
Sesshoumaru fought to keep the threatning growl at bay, not wanting to alert Naraku of his presence. He backed away slowly before heading back the way he came. If what Naraku said was true then he was going to need everyone's help in getting his Kagome out of that bastard's place and back to the school. Once outside the barrier, he formed his ball of light and sped off.
Well, here's another chapter. I keep writing them short! Ugh. Well, at least we know what Naraku plans to do with Kagome. The sick bastard! I'd like to thank alice's sister for giving me the idea about the barrier and Natomie 14 for the idea on finding out about Naraku. I'll have the next chapter up either today or tomorrow! Ciao! Oh yeah, to animehearter, Ai is me!
