Prologue

The moon glowed brightly in the cool midnight air. Naraku paced, something he never usually did. He was confused, lost he didn't know what he could throw at them anymore. He had made countless attempts to kill Inuyasha off. He had made incarnations who were all destroyed with the acceptation of Kagura, Kanna & Hakudoushi.

"Perhaps I should make another incarnation." Naraku said more to himself than to anyone else. Only four were in the room. Kagura leaned on the window sill, looking out into the night sky. Kanna sat on the ground on one side of the door frame she stared mostly at the ground, sometimes stroking the edges of her soul filled mirror. The only other person in the room was Kohaku, he sat on his knees on the opposite side of the doorway. He was still, almost lifeless only once in a while did a flicker of emotion register on his face, which would disappear quickly.

Kohaku's thoughts plagued him. How long could he keep this visage up? He had been serving Naraku for five years. He wanted to kill Naraku, but his heart had been hidden & whenever he did see the heart Hakudoushi was with it. He knew he was no match for Hakudoushi he would surely kill him before Kohaku could destroy it. He would just have to be patient...

"Kohaku!" The commanding tone of Naraku's anger snapped Kohaku from his thoughts.
"Uh. Yes." He replied softly.

"You & Kanna will travel to the temple of the Monk Yoichi. There you will find scrolls that you must bring to me. They hold information on the ancient dragon master Asuke. Perhaps this could be useful to me. The journey will take some time I expect you back in seven days, no less."
Kanna replied "Yes." Kohaku followed "Yes my lord."
Naraku continued. "As for you Kagura" Kagura lazily turned her gaze to Naraku. "You will seek out the wolf demon Koga, finish him & get his jewel shards." Kagura stood & with an evil grin said "With pleasure master." She whipped the transforming feather out of her hair so fast she was in the sky before you could feel the breeze she left behind.

Kanna led the way with Kohaku right behind her.
