Chapter VIII

The women stormed through the darkened hallways, her long black hair sweeping behind and she strode towards the large forbidding door before her. She shoved it open in a heartbeat, undeterred.

"My Lord Naraku!" She said

"What is it now Kikyo?" He asked threateningly

"We have located the location of the energy source," She said triumphantly

"Very good" he said softly, ever since he had begun the search for the jewel that that loathsome Dog-Demon had stolen, he and his team had been tracking 2 powerful energy sources. One seemed to be stationary and the other moving around all to rapidly for it to be pinpointed. The stationary energy source had disappeared 10 years ago. No single thought had been given to it, until the 2nd energy source had disappeared. Now it had just reappeared the day of that old women's 'heart attack'.

"Very good" he said a bit louder, "where is it?" he demanded

Kikyo smirked, "At my cousin's house"

"Send for Kagura..."

-------------------------------------------------------------

'The winds are picking up' thought Kagome, 'an ominous presence approaches' she began to glow slightly blue. The presence disappeared and she turned her attention to her more immediate problem...

"Inuyasha get down here! That tree's not safe! The winds are getting to strong! Get into the house."

"Feh, I don't need any help" he said scornfully

Sighing Kagome contemplated her choices of getting him down from the tree. Inuyasha had become stubborn and arrogant after the argument, and despite Miroku's words, she was finding it hard to keep her patience with him.

Inuyasha shifted uneasily, 'why's she looking at me like that?' he wondered. He found his answer soon enough...

Kagome sighed, 'well, it's not like I have a choice, he has to get into the house' she thought. She reached out with her right arm as if grasping something with her thumb and forefinger, she rolled the fingers together as if rolling a thread on her finger jerked her arm back and said, "Sit!"

Inuyasha fell off the tree with an, "oomph"

"Now will you get into the house?" she asked

"Feh" he snorted as he limped slightly into the house. Kagome shook her head, and followed him.

When he was 5 paces from the door a large burst of wind bombarded them from behind. Shielding their faces from the windy outburst they turned around. Instantly Inuyasha laid back his ears, frightened. Kagome uncomprehending what was wrong studied the miniature tornado a little more then gasped.

The whirlwind of air, dirt, and sand dissipated, revealing a tall female humanoid demon. She was in a traditional kimono, he hair tied up in a kind of bun. A couple feathers were in her hair. And in her hand she held a fan. She watched them coolly, her pupil less blood red eyes showing mild boredom. Inuyasha growled and flattened his ears. He knew those red eyes, they haunted his nightmares everyday day.

"What do you want here?" asked Kagome cautiously

Flicking her fan carelessly she replied, "I am Kagura, the wind sorceress. I came for him," she pointed at Inuyasha.

"What?!" Kagome remained stupefied, what on earth could this demon want with Inuyasha?

Inuyasha growl simply increased. The demon frowned and said, "I have no time for this" she flicked her fan, and bodies rose from behind her. She flicked her fan towards Kagome and the disembodied corpses flew at her. Kagome stood straighter, and an invisible wind wrapped around her, shrouding her in a glowing cloud of blue. She held her arms before her, palms facing away from her body. A small ball of blue blossomed in her palms and erupted into blue lightning, burning each attacking corpse and disintegrating them. As the last of the bodies turned to ash, the blue glow dissipated and Kagome turned around to see if Inuyasha was okay. He wasn't there. She looked up, to see his limp body on a large feather with Kagura seated behind him, disappearing into the now bright blue sky. She began to despair, until a something whizzed past her, narrowly missing her right ear. She looked down onto the ground to see a fan, with something tied around it imbedded deeply into the damp earth. Hands trembling she untied the piece of paper and read. She dropped it in surprise and terror, 'How could they have known?'

For the paper read,

If you wish to see your beloved Hanyou whole

You will bring the Shikon no Tama

To this place...

'This place? What place?' She looked at the paper, now confused. Then she realized something. She waved her hand over the page, and as the fluorescent light struck the paper, a map appeared beneath her blue light. Examining it closer she thought grimly, 'so that's where...'

She ran inside to get the box.

End of Chapter VIII
