Chapter 20. Another Vision.
Sesshomaru was in shock all day. He couldn't believe his father was coming back from the dead. He didn't even think it was possible for the dead to come back.
"Sesshomaru?" Kira was sitting next to him on couch in the living room. She had to literally drag him down stairs so that she could tell the others what the Oracle had just seen. "Sesshomaru are you okay?"
Inuyasha started growling and stood up, removing his Tetsusaiga. "This outta snap him out of it."
"What are you...?" Kira watched as Inuyasha pointed the handle at his brother while holding onto the sheath.
He had the sword pointed at Sesshomaru's arm and then slowly tipped the sword at an angle, causing the sword to sip out of the sheath. What happened next stunned Kira.
The moment the tip of the sword made contact with Sesshomaru's arm, she saw the electrical shock coming off it. What ever was happening seemed to work because the second the shock went off, Sesshomaru snapped back to reality and knocked the Tetsusaiga away.
"What do you think you are doing Inuyasha?" he asked as he growled at the half demon.
"Trying to snap you out of that daze you were in." He replied as he went to retrieve his sword. "You've been worrying Kira all day since the Oracle told you that dad is coming back."
Sesshomaru soon calmed down and sighed. "Yes. I remember now. I just can't believe that he's coming back after so long."
"it shouldn't even be possible for someone from the dead, let alone a demon, to be revived." Miroku stated as he held Haku in his arms.
"The Band of Seven were brought back from the dead." Kagome said as she rubbed her belly. "And they were only brought back because Naraku gave them jewel shards."
"That's true." Sango said as she brushed her hair back. "But they went back to being bones after we removed the shards. How can it be possible for Lord Inutaisho to be revived?"
"Not even i know." Sesshomaru said as he looked over at Kira. But twins? I just don't know what to say.
Kira smiled at him. I'm calling it a miracle that we are being blessed with two children. She replied as she watched Miroku and Sango going over the theories of how Inutaisho could be revived.
He thought about it for a moment and then smiled. I guess it is a miracle.
She smiled at him and then moved closer to snuggle him. Only four months until they come into this world.
Sesshomaru wrapped his arm around Kira and kissed her on her crescent moon. I can't wait.
It was later that night and Kira was groaning in her sleep. She stirred slightly as she started having a premonition.
They were running through a forest at incredible speed and soring over the trees.
'where are we going?' she thought as she continued to watch her dream.
"Inuyasha!" Kira heard Sesshomaru's voice but didn't see where he was. But she could see that Inuyasha was running next to her. "Go around the castle and come in from the back. I'll distract Naraku!"
Inuyasha nodded and turned left. She then saw a hand appear and take out a sword. She gasped as she recognized the blade as Tokijin. 'I'm seeing through Sesshomaru's vision!'
She then saw Sesshomaru jump out of the trees and flying toward a castle between two mountains. He landed on the grounds and released his Dragon Strike attack on the castle. "Naraku!"
She heard a chuckle in the air. "Well well. Seems the demon lord has come." Said the half demon as he stepped out of the shadows. "What brings you to my castle?"
"You know very well why i'm here." Sesshomaru said as he growled at Naraku. "Surrender my mother and my mate immediately!"
'Naraku...is going to kidnap me?'
She gasped as she woke up to the early morning light, panting as she lay there. She was in shock at what she just saw. Naraku is going to kidnap me? But how?
"Kira?" she jumped when she heard Sesshomaru's voice behind her. She rolled over to look at him. "Kira. What's wrong? Why is Naraku in your thoughts?"
She looked at him for a moment and then moved closer to him. "I don't know. I just had a vision and heard you yelling at Naraku. Something about that monster kidnapping me and you wanting him to surrender me and your mother."
He looked at her in shock and then wrapped his arms around her. "I won't let him take you."
"I don't want to be taken by him. But it's going to happen no matter what you do sweetheart." She said as she held onto him tightly.
"He can't take you." He held her closer to him in a protective manner. "If i'm separated from you by any distance, i'll go into a blood rage, killing everything in my path until i find you. And i don't want that to happen."
"How long does it take for the rage to come on?" Kira asked as she looked up at him.
"I don't know. But if you are taken by Naraku, i could go into a blood rage within a few days. Since it will be my first time it could take even longer for me to slip into madness." He said as he started stroking her soft hair.
Kira recalled the dream as she looked at him. "I couldn't see your face in my dream. I was looking through your eyes as it happen. But from the sound of it, you just sounded angry and worried."
Sesshomaru was silent as he inhaled her spiced cherry blossom scent and stroked her hair. "Hoshimaru and Kenji grew up as wonderful children. Naraku must not have done any harm to you." He said as he soon looked down at her. "Knowing that, I have a feeling that you are going to come out of this alive."
She nodded and snuggled in his arms.
"But we mustn't tell the others." He mentioned as he kissed her forehead. "They might panic if they knew."
"But they are going to know anyway when it happens." She mumbled as she relaxed in his arms.
"Not really." He said as he soon sat up with her in his arms still. "They could just think that Naraku is planing something that involves you. Like he's kidnapping you to get us to come out of hiding."
"That could work." She said as she looked at her arm that held the bracelet. "But this bracelet hasn't come off since i put it on after Christmas."
"Maybe something will happen during the next few days that will cause it to fall off." Sesshomaru said as he looked at her. "we'll just have to wait and see."
Meanwhile. Naraku was getting fustrated that he couldn't find Inuyasha and his group anywhere.
"Where could they be?" he growled as he stared at his insects that had just told him the news of the groups disappearance. "It should not be hard to find such a large group of humans and demons. Let alone seeing them work together."
"Maybe they found a way to hide from you Naraku." Inukimi said as she glared at him. She was no longer laying on the floor now. For the past month, she had been chained to the wall while sitting on the floor.
"That may be so if there were such a way to completely hide your scent and arua." Naraku said as he glared back at her. "Kagura!"
The doors slid open and Kagura stepped in. "Yes Naraku?"
"Go out and search for the group again. Find the boy and the little reincarnation of Kikyo." He said as he dismissed his insects. "And don't come back until you've found them."
"Very well Naraku." She said before she turned to leave.
Naraku leaned back in his chair as he stared across the room. "They will be found. And i will have the power of the gaurdians before they even realize their destiny."
Inukimi glared at what Naraku said. Please my son. What ever kind of spell you and your friends are using, don't break it. For the sake of the priestess, the boy, and your mate, don't break this concealment spell of yours.
