Chapter Four
Sango walked up to the bar and said, "So Mira, what's up with your request board? There's not a single job there!"
Mirajane frowned. "That's what I was thinking. No jobs have come in recently. Wendy took the last one."
"I see," Sango said thoughtfully and went over to Kagome, Lucy and Erza, sat down beside them and started a conversation. "So Lucy, you're a Celestial Wizard, right? How many keys do you have?"
"Ten," Lucy answered proudly. "I have Leo, Aquarius, Scorpio, Virgo, Taurus, Cancer, Aries, Gemini, Sagittarius and Capricorn."
"Whoa," Kagome commented. "You have all the powerhouses, huh?"
"Yup." Said Lucy.
"You know, Lucy," Erza began. "When I was on an S-Class mission, I heard one of the people I was fighting talk about a powerful spell used by Celestial Wizards. That spell can call upon all the 12 Zodiacs without even touching the keys."
Lucy frowned. "That can't be possible," she stated. "My mother told me that it was only possible to call upon the spirits IF you had their keys."
"Well, it's probably a rumour," Sango said, shrugging. "No need to get worked up over it."
"Right."
-In a forest near -
Magnolia
Kikyo Takahashi walked through the forest, keeping her senses alert, lest anyone attack her.
Kikyo looked like she could have been Kagome's twin sister. There were only a few differences.
For one, Kikyo had the word "perfection" radiating volumes around her. Her steps were graceful and she didn't dress as casually as Kagome. Her personality was quiet and melancholy while Kagome's was bubbly and loud.
"Hmm," Kikyo spoke aloud. "I should be reaching Magnolia anytime soon now…at least there; I shall be safe…from him."
Kikyo' s eyes darkened as she thought of the person she hated the most, the one who had taken everything away from her, the person she thought she had…
'No!' Kikyo thought fiercely. 'Don't finish that thought! He was a liar, a good for nothing liar! He betrayed me, nearly killed me!'
Kikyo clenched her fists. 'You shall pay,' she thought darkly. 'Yes…..Inuyasha, you shall pay.'
