Chapter 2

Two Years later

The sun was high in the sky while the birds were chirping a happy tone as they flew overhead. A young shrine maiden quietly sweeping the grounds around the Hikawa Shrine enjoying the pleasant breeze and warmth of the sun's rays. Her grandfather was elsewhere tending a few matters inside the shrine itself while Rei decided to tend to the usual chores of cleaning the grounds to keep the shrine presentable to visitors. After Rei Hino was finished a woman wearing a black trench coat with long light blue hair appeared. The beautiful woman approached Rei before inquiring "Excuse me is the head of the Shrine here?"

"Oh he is in there." Rei answered while pointing at the shrine itself. "Oh do you have some business with him or something?" Rei asked, she was a little curious why anyone who want to see her grandfather.

"Not really. I am only here to ask him a few questions. It's no big deal." The woman replied as she walked towards the shrine.

Rei was sensing something odd about that woman. She couldn't put her finger on it, so the young priestess let it go. After finishing the rest of the sweeping the young teenager hurried to her room to get ready to go and join the others at Mamoru Chiba's place. Meanwhile inside the Shrine the woman introduced herself to Rei's grandfather and the two talked for a while. Then about fifteen minutes later the woman was seen leaving the Shrine.

While the woman was walking down the street she turned her attention to a storm drain right below her. "What the master is looking for is here. Wait until nightfall. You know what to do." The woman said then she walked away.

As soon as she was gone two red eyes were seen glowing inside the storm drain, then a hissing was heard followed by a voice replying. "Yes it shall be done."

At the far side of town a small boy wearing a small grey suit accompanied by grey dress shorts and a red bow tie was holding a red balloon in his hand. The child stood in front of a large gate that leads to a mansion that rested at the top of a hill in the heart of a large estate. A Saimyoushou wasp flew by before flying lower until it stopped hovering next to the boy. The young child had an emotionless expression on his face as he turned to look at the Saimyoushou. He had white hair and black doll-like eyes in conjunction to abnormally pale skin.

"Tell Naraku that I have found one of the scrolls he is looking for at the Edwards residence. I will wait until nightfall to claim what he wants." The boy replied coldly.

The Saimyoushou turned around before flying away. The boy walked away as it went towards a bench that was positioned under a tree. He was going to sit there until nightfall. Meanwhile outside of town in the middle of a forest located several miles outside of town, the wasp was heading for a special spot in the middle of the forest. At first glance there was nothing but trees, but when the Saimyoushou flew closer to a large cluster of trees it passed through a hidden barrier. At the heart of the magical barrier was a feudal-era style large castle.

The Saimyoushou flew up to an open window where it entered the castle. It flew towards a lone figure sitting in a dark corner of the room. The Saimyoushou landed in the man's right index finger. He looked at the wasp careful. The insect made a bunch of different sounds to communicate with the young man. After it was finished the young man clucked as a sign that he was able to understand the Saimyoushou.

"Excellent. These artifacts will help me to further my demonic powers." The young man said as he stood up and the Saimyoushou flew away.

The young man stepped into some light emanated by four glowing pots huddle in a corner. He had short black hair; red eyes with a bit of light blue eye shadow above his eyes. The child was dressed in fine dark blue kimono robes as the young teen examined the pots…the smile on his face was a clear indication that he was pleased with the globs of fresh pulsating within the pots.

I wonder which of you will be born first. Naraku thought as he watched the flesh in the pots bubble and stir.

Nightfall finally came as Rei and her friends were at a party on the far side of town leaving Grandpa by himself to watch the Shrine. Rei's grandfather walked over to his room to read some magazines he kept under his bed. While he was inside reading peacefully a large creature was seen emerging from the trees next to the Shrine.

It crawled towards the shrine before it smashed its way through the wall breaking into the shrine's interior. The creature was starting to knock down bookshelves looking for something…the object his master desired. The monster came across a box containing some old looking scrolls. After the large demon examined them, it picked them up before it turned around to leave the shrine before anyone would catch it.

"Hey you what do you think you are doing!" Grandpa shouted.

The elderly shrine owner had heard the break in so he went to investigate the loud crash he had heard from his room. Armed with a flashlight the head priest of the shrine pointed it at the burger. The old man was expecting some joker in a hockey mask or wearing a black cloth mask of shorts, but nothing could have prepared him for what he saw.

Grandpa almost had a heart attack when he saw who was robbing the shrine. It was a giant centipede demon, but it had a human torso with six arms and a woman's head with long black hair making up the upper part of its body. The creature was identical to mistress centipede, but it was a younger sibling of the centipede. It was holding the box of scrolls under the left side set of arms. The demon instantly noticed grandpa before it moved towards him. Grandpa was so scarred by what he was seeing he passed out.

The centipede demon left the shrine quietly moving pass the unconscious shrine owner as he lay on the ground in a heap. Lucky for grandpa the demon didn't prefer eating old people because to most demons they had a very horrible taste due to the age of their bodies and how frail their bones and skin were.

The demon crawled down the steps then it carefully, but quickly made its way into an alleyway near the shrine without anyone noticing it. Inside the alley the demon met with the blue haired woman wearing the trench coat. The youkai handed the woman the scrolls as it said, "It has been done, and I have brought the scrolls."

"Excellent. Now I think my brother Arael may need you at the Edward's residence just in case something goes wrong. Now go." The woman commanded.

"Yes Lady Tsunami." The centipede answered as it smashed open a hole in the ground. The creature crawled into the sewer system and it started moving uptown towards the Edwards residence.
