Hello everyone! Yes it's been awhile since I last updated. Now that I have some time on my hands, I can start working on possibly a few chapters to continue my story. I hope everyone has had a great Christmas and hope everyone has a great Spring Break. Now without further ado, let's continue on with the adventures of Gang Life.
A few weeks have passed and the Inu gang were on vacation from school. Everyone has been getting ready for an upcoming war with Onigumo; they knew that they needed to train long and hard to become strong and powerful enough to fight his army. It was like a game of chess; they were the pawns and he was the King that they needed to overthrow. They were ready, they had an army of their own that will take him by surprise.
Kagome and Kikyo have gotten a lot better with controlling themselves. Kagome can now control her demon blood on the nights of the full moon; she has even trained herself to bring out her demon side whenever it was necessary. Kikyo can now control her miko powers to where she can use them without being too tired and without them being destructive. Kikyo taught Kagome more miko powers to use and helped her strengthen up her powers as well. Kagome can now use them just as well as Kikyo can.
Inuyasha and Sesshomaru have been sparring with each other and have sparred with the girls with their own weapons that was passed down to them. Inuyasha had his Tetsusaiga, Sesshomaru had his Bakusaiga, Kagome with her Seishin Kiba, and Kikyo with her Haganenokiba. No one was holding back, they gave each other their all and fought hard. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru even had the girls fight using their miko powers against them so that they would see how well they have really trained and how well they can control it.
Sango, who was an expert at demon slaying was training with Miroku. She had her Hiraikotsu ready after enhancing it's strength to where even the strongest demon can't break it. Miroku, even though he's a demon, learned the ways of Buddha and became a monk when he was younger. He always trained in the mountains and meditated there. It was his way of controlling his true form, which back then was out of control. Miroku had his sacred sutras, his wind tunnel, and his demon powers. Of course in training he knew not to use the wind tunnel.
Ayame and Koga sparred with Rin and Naraku. Rin had a blade of her own, which she called Yoso no Kiba or Fang of Elements. Rin would call off the element that she wanted to use and her sword would be surrounded in that element. (AN: A sword that has the five elements actually sounds pretty cool) Her sword contained the five elements; Earth, Wind, Fire, Water, and Void. Now with Void, her sword is surrounded by a golden light. This is composed of pure energy, Void can mean sky or Heaven. Basically it's spiritual power. Naraku worked on his powers and learn to control where he wanted them to go. He worked on aiming a bit more to were his attacks can be precise and weaken his enemies. Naraku had a miasma attack which happens to be a toxic smog if breathed in too much, plus it could mess with the eye sight; it can weaken his enemies enough to take them down. Plus he uses the miasma to blend in and sneak towards his enemies or get away from their attacks.
Ayame and Koga had their katana blades. Ayame has a power called leaf storm which is a tornado of leaves flying around once she hits the ground with her fist. It helps her blend in and sneak towards her enemies or get away from her enemies when they attack. She can also use leaf blades which she whistles into a leaf for all the leaves to turn into sharp blades and dart towards her enemies. Koga has his Goraishi from the wolf demon tribe ancestors. He was chosen to use this weapon to honor his tribe and to protect Ayame. He knew that he would use the weapon one day to help protect Tokyo, he won't let his ancestors down.
"Alright guys, that's enough training for the day." Sesshomaru announced. Everyone was breathless from all the hard work that they just put themselves through.
"I can see that we are ready to take Onigumo down. Everyone has worked really hard and I've seen some big improvements." Sesshomaru smiled as he looked at the Higurashi sisters. Kagome and Kikyo smiled confidently with crossed arms.
"You guys were amazing Kagome! You two have worked really hard to get to this point." Sango exclaimed proudly. Kagome chuckled.
"Thank you Sango. It was thanks to Inuyasha and Sesshomaru for motivating us. Kikyo helped me strengthen my miko powers, Inuyasha and Sesshomaru helped me control my demon blood better than ever. Now I can will it whenever it's necessary, and when I turn into a full demon on the nights of the full moon, I won't go on a killing spree anymore." Kagome stated proudly. Inuyasha came up behind her and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"I'm proud of you Kagome, you proved to me that you're ready to take this on." He said proudly and kissed her cheek. Kagome blushed and turned her head to look him in the eyes.
"I wanted to work hard to become stronger than what I already was. I want to make them proud of me." Kagome said as her ears drooped sadly. Kikyo caught on to her sister's statement and looked away sadly. She wanted to make her parents proud too, and hopefully they are smiling down upon them. Inuyasha took Kagome's chin in his hand and gently had her look back up at him, giving her a warm loving smile.
"I assure you Kagome, they are very proud of you. Both you and your sister, I just know that they are smiling down at you right now." He told her as he wiped away a stray tear with his thumb. Kagome gave a soft smile and Inuyasha took her in a warm embrace stroking her beautiful raven hair.
Naraku came up to Kikyo with an arm around her waist. She looked up in surprise and a few stray tears rolling down her cheeks showed. Naraku gently wiped away her tears and kissed her forehead and then her cheek.
"I know you miss them my dear. They may be gone but know that they are never forgotten. They are always here in your heart no matter what. They are very proud of you and your sister for being so strong. Tokyo is in good hands once we finally get rid of Onigumo, their death will not be in vain I promise you that." Naraku stated. Kikyo gave a soft smile and embraced him laying her head on his shoulder.
"Thank you Naraku." She said softly. Naraku wrapped his arms around her with a calm and gentle smile.
"Anytime my dear." He stated softly as he stroked her beautiful long hair.
Sesshomaru walked up to Inuyasha and Kagome with a look that said 'we need to talk'. Inuyasha looked at his brother and gave a nod. Kagome turned to look at Sesshomaru and had a disapproving look.
"Come on Sesshomaru, I think it would be nice to hear what you guys are planning instead of going behind our backs." Kagome said while crossing her arms with a raised eyebrow. Rin walked up to Sesshomaru with an all too knowing smile and wrapped her arms around Sesshomaru's arm to lean in close to him.
"I agree Kagome, I would sure like to know what you two plan on doing that you need to keep it a secret." Rin stated with a raised eyebrow. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru looked at each other and then to their girls with a smile.
"Well Kagome, Sesshomaru is the General in this war and I happen to be the Lieutenant. Sesshomaru and I go to have a meeting with the clans that he and Rin have gathered. He calls them up and we strategize our plan to them. So far we know what the Band of Seven are planning to do and we need to be ready. Plus Onigumo and Bree make a powerful duo, we need to get rid of Bree first to take down Onigumo." Inuyasha explained.
"How does taking down Bree take down Onigumo?" Kagome asked.
"Bree and Onigumo are mates. Bree lead those damn demons who killed our parents. Bree has been working along side Onigumo all this time and they have been growing stronger together. We do him, like he did to them. His mate is the first to go. The Band of Seven will be kept an eye on very closely. Once they make their move, we will be ready for them. Getting rid of Bree will just be a warning to Onigumo, letting him know that we are ready for him and that we will take back Tokyo. No more will anyone suffer any longer." Sesshomaru stated.
Kagome and Rin looked at Sesshomaru and saw the fire of Hell in his eyes. Ever since Onigumo had Bree and her gang kill his parents, he has been pushing himself more and more to become just as strong as his father. Inuyasha had told Kagome that Sesshomaru surpassed their father as he left one day to defeat some of their father's old enemies by training with them. Sesshomaru has taken charge of everything ever since he came back. Inuyasha was beginning to see their father in Sesshomaru more and more. Even more so now ever since he began gathering an army to prepare for battle.
"Hey Sesshomaru, let's bring the girls with us. It's not fair to them that they don't get to see how we do things. Besides Rin is your mate, as Kagome is mine. Don't you think they should be apart of our plans as well?" Inuyasha gave a small little smirk. Sesshomaru gave a low chuckle.
"I suppose you're right Inuyasha. They do deserve to help us out and be apart of this." Sesshomaru agreed. Kagome and Rin smiled happily giving their mates a grateful kiss.
"Thank you." They both said to their mates. The brothers smiled to their mates and nodded to them.
"Alright, let's get moving then shall we." Sesshomaru said as he placed a hand on the small of Rin's back. "
"Hai!" Rin and Kagome said excitedly. Inuyasha chuckled as the girls ran ahead together.
"You know something Sesshomaru..." Inuyasha began to say.
"Hmm?" Sesshomaru looked at his brother with a raised eyebrow.
"I think Kagome and Rin make a dangerous duo." Inuyasha finished with a smirk. Sesshomaru looked at the girls ahead watching Rin transform and Kagome hopping on top of Rin with a smile on her face. Both the brothers chuckled.
"Well that's to be seen. I sure would like to see how they work together." Sesshomaru stated.
"Believe me, you would be surprised." Inuyasha said. Sesshomaru looked at his brother with a shocked expression.
"You've seen them train?" He asked.
"Oh definitely, and believe me when I say that together they are a dynamic duo. They have surprised me more than once. Ayame, Sango and Kikyo combined with those two completes their team. They're more dangerous when they are all together. When I see Rin and Kagome together, it just feels like those two are the strength that holds their group together." Inuyasha explains.
"Hmm. Probably because they have been going around protecting Tokyo since they got old enough to go out on their own. They have been growing stronger each and every day. We've trained hard and long since we were kids so that we could grow stronger, faster, and wiser. You created us Inuyasha, well created the Hell Demons anyway. I wanted to stop you so many times but you wouldn't have listened anyway, so I just let you go through you phase until someone knocked some sense into you." Sesshomaru chuckled. Inuyasha rolled his eyes.
"I had enough sense to not be rude to the girls like Koga and Miroku were doing. I knew that they were just trying to help but I needed to figure out what I wanted to do, what I needed to do. I was upset that we were not able to find the killers of our parents and that threw me into a loop. I didn't want the girls to get involved because I didn't want them to get in trouble just because they were around us. I didn't want them to be blamed for something that they had no part of. When Kagome mentioned the pact that we all made, that made me think on what I was doing. She thought that we all forgot about it Sesshomaru. I never did forget the pact. Night and day I always looked at the symbol on my hand and think about that night, I still do." Inuyasha explained. Sesshomaru nodded as he looked at his hand to see the symbol.
"We have become the protectors of Tokyo ever since. We will take our home back and avenge our parents' death, and help Kagome and Kikyo avenge their parents' death. Father wanted Tokyo to be a peaceful place, and so it shall be." Sesshomaru promised.
"We won't let them down. Onigumo will fall as we rise to take our place as the protectors of Tokyo." Inuyasha vowed.
