Author's note: Okay, so I just want to explain a few things. Bold italic is the sword talking to Takara. Plain italic is Takara thinking. Sekando Chansu means second chance and Tairyou No Hakai means mass destruction. Please don't forget to review!(:

Jakotsu tilted his head to the side, staring at me. Finally he perked up a bit and hit his palm with a closed fist and began to smile.

"Hey, I remember you! You're that little wench from that village that I wanted to kill so badly! Too bad Big brother wouldn't let me..Are you ready to die now, filthy girl?"

Chapter two: Ten years later..Ressurected!

My sword pulsed and I heard a voice inside my head. What are you waiting for, Takara? Let me kill them.I tightened my grip on the hilt of my sword, watching as Jakotsu grabbed his own. Everything paused for just a moment before it turned into chaos. As Jakotsu swung his sword at me, it extended like a snake and I almost didn't dodge quickly enough. Damn..a few more inches and that would have been my throat..Be more careful, I can't have you dead. I swung my sword toward Jakotsu, watching as the blade turned black and blood-colored acid flew from the tip toward him at a frightening speed. He jumped into the air, flipping backwards and landing out of reach of my sword's attack.

"Hey, isn't that the useless hunk of metal Big brother threw away in the woods? How did you get it to do that, Wench?"

"Ha. Seishi is nowhere near useless. I am its rightful owner and it only responds to me. Now, DIE!"

I jumped toward the man, dodging his attacks easily as I swung my sword at his chest again. This time, the blade became a deep crimson and flames erupted from the tip, catching Jakotsu's shoulder as he tried to jump away from the attack. Oh, would you quit showing off Seishi? The man with Jakotsu smirked, before grabbing for a gourd on his hip. As he raised it to his mouth, an arrow sunk into it, making it burst open. The man's eyes widened as he looked over to Mayumi, the contents of his gourd spilling to the ground from the big crack she made with her arrow.

"How did you see me? You're blind!"

"Yes, I am blind. But I can still see. I have no intention of explaining myself to you. It isn't nice to gang up on people. Leave now or next time I will not hesitate to purify you.."

I smiled a bit as the two men scowled before turning around and leaving quickly, Jakotsu holding on to his injured shoulder. As they retreated, I heard feminine man yelling something.

"This isn't over, stupid wench! I will kill you!"

I laughed loudly before turning and grabbing my all white kimono and putting it on over my fighting outfit. I had bought this kimono because of the bright green vine-like patterns on it. I saw it and loved it immediately for some reason. I slipped my sandals on and sheathed Seishi in its place on my hip before turning to Mayumi.

"Thanks for that. If you wouldn't have shot that gourd with your arrow, i might not be standing here right now."

"Nonsense. Don't speak like that. Let's go. I have a feeling they are connected to Naraku somehow."

"Right."

As we left the hot springs, I couldn't help but wonder why these murderous men had been brought back from the dead. Why did fate have to keep bringing them into my life. Have I not suffered enough? Maybe they are back so that you won't have to suffer anymore..? Huh? This voice..the voice of a woman! Who is speaking to me? Seishi pulsed twice and my eyes widened. How was that possible? The voice that always spoke to me was a man's. Why had it suddenly changed into a woman's voice? I am sure you are confused, Takara. Let me shed some light on this for you. A very long time ago, there were two swords. One that was very pure and could give the dead a second chance at life, called Sekando Chansu. It was somewhat like the sword a great dog demon possesses called Tenseiga, but this sword can save any dead person, even one that has been gone for many, many years. Then, there was a demonic sword called Tairyou No Hakai. It was the most evil sword there ever was and it could defeat any enemy and destroy absolutely anything in its path. It possessed people, even demons and made them do its bidding. Your ancestors saw what a problem this sword had become and they decided to do something about it. They took their sword, Sekando Chansu, and they merged the two together after a lot of hard work and sacrifice. When they did that, both powers balanced out and the sword could no longer possess people because of the great good inside of it. That made Seishi. None of your ancestors could make this sword work, so they figured that by merging them, they banished both powers forever. But that was not the case. Tairyou No Hakai and I have waited for a person from your bloodline that was strong enough, and pure enough, to weild us. And that someone was you. Even at a very young age we could tell how powerful you were. The most powerful human we have ever laid eyes on...But the moral of this story is that no matter how evil something or someone is, maybe they still deserve a second chance...You have never heard my voice before and I have tried to speak to you several times. You have always only heard Tairyou No Hakai..and he has been the one protecting you all these years. Don't you see? I need time to think this through..alone. So please leave my brain alone for the time being and give me some time to myself? Of course..but remember, we will BOTH protect you, always.

I grimaced. This woman sword had given me too much information to take in at one time. So..the sword I had grown to love..the one protecting me since I got it ten years ago was actually the most powerful demonic sword ever created and it was pure evil? How could that be? I had always thought of Seishi as good. Well...she did say that the two swords being merged had balanced them and their powers out. But still..what if it didn't? Would my sword still protect me? Of course it would, I shouldn't even worry about that! I shook the thoughts from my head, continuing on with my friend. As the sword started to speak to me, I had just walked with Mayumi in a daze. I did that alot when the sword decided to speak to me, so I'm sure she was used to it. But, I also don't want her to worry about me. We walked for what seemed like hours before she decided to say something.

"There are demons and humans up ahead..a wolf, a fox, a cat, and a dog..the dog is a half demon..and there is a monk and a priestess..im guessing the other human is a demon slayer."

"Wow, Mayumi. You never cease to amaze me. You're blind but it still seems like you can see so much better than me!"

"My spiritual powers let me see..but not like you, I'm sure..I could still see even if I closed my eyes. You see, I get visions when my spiritual powers awaken inside of me..but i still see blackness everywhere..When I get a vision, things just become outlined in white so that I can see places, things, or people."

"That's weird. Cool, but weird."

As we walked up on the scene, I immediately saw that Mayumi was dead right about her prediction. My jaw dropped as I saw the people. I saw that the wolf and the half demon had been in a small fight up until we showed up. From the looks of things, they were fighting over a girl in weird clothing. I guessed that was the priestess. Hm..maybe Mayumi's clothes aren't so weird after all.. Everyone else was just watching. As we walked up, they all turned their attention toward us. I saw the monks eyes light up as he walked over to us.

"My, my! You are very pretty, Miss! Would you do me the honor of possibly bearing my children?"

My eye twitched as he grabbed my hands and smiled innocently at me. I jerked my hands back and immediately sent my right fist flying into his face, knocking him back to his original spot. That made Mayumi giggle a bit.

"I wouldn't mess with Takara, Monk. She has a temper as fiery as her hair."

"Hey! What the hell is that supposed to mean, Mayumi?!"

I started to argue with the blind child, but then I looked back at the group to realize that they were all glaring at me. I blinked a few times, trying to figure out what had gotten into them all of a sudden.

"Um..are you all mad because I hit your friend? I won't apologize for knocking some sense into that lecher!"

"Takara..there is someone behind you."

I was so angry I hadn't even noticed that Mayumi had moved toward the group. I cocked my head to the side and slowly turned around, only to come face to face with a woman with red eyes.

"What do you want, Lady? A fight..?"

"Ha, no chance. I want your blind friend. What are you anyway, her babysitter?"

That pissed me off. Seishi began to pulse at my hip.

"Stupid wench. Do I look like a babysitter? She can take care of herself..but you'll still have to get through me first!"

I put my hand on the hilt of Seishi, waiting on the black-haired woman to make a move. An insect moved to her ear and began to buzz lightly. Her eyes widened a bit and she nodded.

"Change of plans..we want you instead. So come with me like a good girl. Don't make me force you."

"You can try!"

My grip on the hilt of my sword tightened as I pulled it out. Before I had a chance to even use it, the woman was beside me. She moves like the wind! She hit me in the head with her fan as hard as she could and the world went black around me as I fell to the ground.

Visions popped into my head of the incident as I stood by helplessly. I didn't want to shoot the woman and take the chance of hitting Takara with my spiritual arrow. There was nothing I could do. As I felt their presence drift away into the air, I hit the ground angry with myself that I did nothing to stop this evil woman. I immediately felt hands on both my shoulders and a vision came to my mind of the priestess and the demon slayer kneeling on either side of me, the rest of their group standing nearby.

"Her name was Kagura..don't worry Mayumi, we can get your friend back for you. She is an incarnation of the demon named Naraku."

My head shot up as I heard that name. I stood up, regaining my composure. I turned my head toward the priestess that had spoken to me.

"Naraku? He is the demon that killed my family a year ago. May I join you to find him? I want to search for Takara anyway.."

"Yes, of course."

"Wait a minute! We should just take her to a village and have her wait there while we go after Kagura and Naraku! She is blind, she will just get in the way!"

I pulled an arrow from my quiver and racked it into my bow in the blink of an eye, sending it flying past the half demon's head, inches from his face. A vision came to me of his eyes widening at my incredible aim.

"How the hell did you do that?"

"Just because my eyes are blind that does not mean I cannot see you..remember that, half demon. I am in no way helpless."

"Well, Mutt. It seems like you should have just kept your mouth shut and agreed with my Kagome."

"Shut the hell up, you mangy wolf! She isn't YOUR anything!"

The wolf demon came to Kagome and held her hands, smiling at her. The half demon seemed to get very irritated by this action.

"Well, Kagome. I'd love to stay but I gotta run! I'll go get Naraku for you! Bye!"

With that, he took off, a whirlwind surrounding his body.

"Stupid wolf, get back here! I ain't finished with you yet!"

"Inuyasha..sit boy!"

The dog demon was pulled to the ground by the beads around his neck and I couldn't help but giggle a bit, making him even more irritated.

"What was that for!?"

"Serves you right.."

"Shut the hell up, Mayumi! No one asked you!"

"Sit!"

"Ahhhhh!"

He screamed as he was then taken to the ground a second time by the beads, making me erupt in a fit of giggles. The two women stood up on either side of me, a determined look crossing their features. I stood up as well, my head turned in the direction the woman escaped to with my friend.

"Alright, let's go get Takara back for Mayumi and destroy Naraku once and for all!"

A vision suddenly burned in my mind of Seishi laying on the ground in front of us. I went over to the sword and picked it up. Oh no..Takara dropped Seishi when Kagura knocked her out..I hope she will be okay without it until we can get to her.
