Chapter 4: Contact

 

 

“The cave looks pretty good Vegeta,” Krillian said as he walked back out into the daylight from said cave. “18 says there is plenty of room to use the capsule house Bulma brought with her in there.”

 

18, who was behind her short husband nodded her agreement to the Sayjin prince. The group had quickly walked from the outskirts of the village to the canyon Shippo had told them about. The walk took them almost a half hour at a brisk pace, but once they had arrived they found what they were looking for in record time. Vegeta had dispatched the married couple to check out a cavern they had found. By air, the entrance was impossible to see, and from the ground, you had to be almost in front of it to notice a fissure between the rocks.

 

Vegeta had stepped into the entrance way a bit and noticed that the cave curved towards the left, which would be perfect for a sentry on the inside. They would be able to hear an approach without being seen. The other two had gone in further and explored and were now back giving their findings.

 

“Good, Bulma go in and get set up.” Vegeta barked. He had the patience of a seasoned warrior, and knew setting up a safe headquarters was a sound tactical decision, but his Sayjin blood was pure, and therefore burned for the fight he knew was close at hand, therefore he was short with his colleagues. Not that he was ever remotely polite to them anyways.

 

Bulma ventured inside, beckoning 18 to show her where the best place to drop the capsule would be. It was dark and dry inside, but they soon reached an area where the ceiling of the cave was fifty feet high and very large indeed. Bulma took the capsule that would give them modest accommodations and pushed the plunger and quickly ran from the capsule. In a large plum of smoke, a building now stood in its place. It was two stories, with living quarters on top, and a medical facility, with two regeneration tanks, took up most of the first floor along with a meeting area and modest kitchen. The building design was a big hit with military factions across the world, which was why Bulma had selected it. She thought back again to the parallels that this trip had with Namek and was pleased to see that she had avoided one similarity. The house she used on the now destroyed planet had been a luxury model fit for pop stars and spoiled brats. She was glad those days were over for her.

 

Mostly.

 

The rest of the group had now filed into the cavern and approached the house along with Bulma who hit the switch next to the door, activating not only the opening mechanism, but also starting the buildings self contained power generator. A low hum could be heard for a short time as the buildings electrical systems energized and then stabilized. They entered the structure and looked around the main floor a bit before entering the medical facility. The regeneration tanks lined the north wall, while a white table lined the east. Trays of tools and other devices surrounded it. The rest of the room had a small work counter with medical test equipment and patient seating.

Vegeta glanced around and nodded in approval. This would do. Bulma, get these tanks ready to go and make any other preparations you need to. We know we have some injured, but not how many and in what condition they may be in now. Familiarize the woman with what she will need to know to help you. Bra, stay and guard your mother.”

 

The young blue haired beauty started to protest before being cut off by her father.

 

“That wasn't a request. You wanted the great military genius to lead this expedition, so you shall have it. Besides I wouldn't think guarding your mother would-be so unimportant to you.”

 

The protest she was about make died on her lips as her father's words brought her up short. He was right, to complain would seem like she thought her mother unimportant. Something she knew that none of the group believed, but it had been said now and there was no way to save face. He was right, she wanted him to lead and he was. It was time to play the good soldier. She nodded at her father and took up a position out of the way to watch the rest of the group.

 

Mrs. Higarashi went to stand by Bulma ready to receive instructions, but the woman currently looked at her husband.

 

“And what are you going to be doing, oh fearless leader.”

 

He grinned at her, a grin she had not seen in quite a long time, and had they not been in the company of the others, she may have pounced on him right there.

 

“We are going hunting. Its time our enemies got a taste of what they will soon be dealing with.” His blood was boiling now just thinking about the coming confrontation. He turned and walked back towards the entrance and the rest turned to follow. Shippo and Lennex were the last ones out and they both stopped, turning to the women left behind.

 

“We will get your daughter back, Mrs. Higarashi, that's a promise.” Lennex said.

 

The worried mother nodded her thanks as she watched the two disappear, hoping deep in her heart that what he said would come true, and not become just false bravado. Bulma touched her shoulder and motioned towards the regeneration tanks, already explaining their operation. She cleared her thoughts of her daughter's plight and listened intently. She would be ready when they returned to her, good or bad.

Vegeta stood outside the cave, examining the tracking unit he held in his hands. The signal to the deactivated ear bud was showing a south east direction of travel. Soon the rest of his party was with him and he slipped the unit under his armor.

 

“We do this with stealth, as the little man and my wife are so fond of saying; this is going to be like Namek. We go with minimal power, keeping to the ground. No flight unless absolutely necessary. We do have one advantage this time however,” He said looking at 18. “The tin woman will take point and unlike the rest of us, she can go at full power and their scouters won't pick her up. It will give us a bit of a buffer zone. I assume you can follow the frequency like the tracking unit I have can't?”

 

She narrowed her eyes at the smug prince. The last question was said mockingly, the man had never forgiven her for thoroughly beating him into the ground when they had first met. She never rose to his taunts or baits, and she didn't this time either. Instead she blurred quickly out of site, heading towards the signal coming south east.

 

Vegeta made a noise in the back of his throat. The android never lost her cool. He both admired and despised her for that.

 

“Let's not fall behind shall we. Remember minimal power.” And he started running after 18, not moving as fast as the android woman, but faster then any human would be. The rest quickly followed suit.

 

Luckily Shippo was a demon; otherwise he would have been left in the dust by this group. He trailed the rest who had fanned out in a sort of crescent formation, Vegeta and Goku making up the center with Krillian and piccolo on Goku's right, while Lennex and the young fox were on Vegeta's left. He focused his mind, trying to detect any power coming from any of them, but they all had taken Vegeta's words to heart. They were using just enough power to augment their speed, but detection would be almost impossible. The plains, rice fields, and forests blurred around them as the sped along and every so often 18 would return to the group, giving brief updates on what was up ahead before disappearing again.

 

 

Upon these little updates Vegeta would make minor course corrections. Sometimes Shippo could f eel why, as the power levels of Demons, came into his awareness in the exactly locations their previous course would have taken them. Sometimes it wasn't always demon energy they felt though, sometimes it was Kremon patrols.

 

They had run for almost an hour at their heighten speed, and Shippo figured they had covered at least seven or eight miles. As they ran along the edge of another small forest that lined the roadway, Shippo looked around and stopped. Lennex noticed his friend's sudden halt and called for the rest to come to a stop. Lennex was going to question his friend about their sudden lack of momentum when his eye caught the signs of battle on the land.

 

He could see the tracks on the ground, telling of people circling and fighting, he could see scorch marks and holes in the ground from energy blasts and other attacks. He also took note of the five groves in the ground that had almost certainly come from Inuyasha's Wind scar. He noticed no bodies of any fallen soldiers, but he did see bits and pieces of armor, silent testaments that his friends, didn't go down without taking some of their enemies out. But then he and Shippo both noticed almost at the same time two items that littered the battle field. Shippo walked over to the first and gently picked up the smooth wooden staff, of which the top was adorned with a golden head that held three gold rings on each side. The top of the golden head had been sharpened to a razor and belonged to the monk, Miroku.

 

The others realized the significance of where they were, even without full knowledge of the people they came to save. He saw Krillian move towards the second object. The short man picked up the weapon that was almost twice his size. While he had no problem hefting the weapon, his body let him know just how heavy the bone boomerang, Hiraikotsu was.

 

“Someone uses this as a weapon?” he asked

 

Lennex nodded with a small smile as he thought to the owner's weapon. “She uses it with precision, Krillian; it's almost like watching art in motion.”

 

The small man's eyes widened upon learning the owner was a woman. She must be strong indeed

 

Lennex took out a box of capsules and selected one that once in full size would be house both weapons easily. He knew his friends would like them back once they were free.

 

Piccolo called attention to another weapon left on the battlefield, a broken bow next to a quiver of arrows. “Wasn't one of them an archer?” the Namek asked

 

Lennex nodded thinking to himself that archer might be stretching it a bit, but Kagome was getting better every day.

 

Shippo looked around at the place where half a day earlier, his friends had been whole and hearty. Now they were scattered and battered. He hoped they were still alive. Broken bones could be mended; death was a lot harder to come back from.

 

“I wonder why Tetsusaiga isn't here?” Lennex's question brought him out of his reverie. The others looked questioningly at the young Sayjin for a more in depth explanation, one which he provided.

 

“It's Inuyasha's weapon, a standard katana when sheathed but it transformers into a much larger sword. The rest of the weapons are here but it isn't.”

 

“They have it with Inuyasha. It's kept close to him but just out of his reach. In the time I was with Kirara, Kagome could have told them what Tetsusaiga does for Inuyasha. She hates when he transforms. She could have told them to prevent it.”

 

Lennex explained to his friends what Shippo was talking about. He told them of the monstrous transformation Inuyasha goes through when his life is threatened and becomes full demon, not able to distinguish friend or foe, and how his sword seals that blood, keeping him half demon and sane.

 

“Speaking of Kirara, where did you leave her Shippo?” Lennex asked.

 

The kit looked to the ground with a shameful look.

 

“I left her in the forest. I didn't think it best for her to move after her injury. After everything else that happened since… I forgot about her.”

 

“So if this is where the battle took place, then she should be around here somewhere.” 18 asked as she appeared next to Lennex and overhearing the fox. She then turned to Vegeta

 

“It's clear for another few miles then we hit forest. I felt a large group of signatures somewhere within and the signal seems to be along the same course.”

 

Vegeta looked off into the distance, not really seeing with his eyes but with his mind. He felt what 18 was talking about.

 

Shippo suddenly sniffed the air and then took off into the forest. The rest were at a loss to the sudden movement but silently followed the fox.

 

They entered into the forest and after a few moments quickly spied the fox demon hovering over a small two tailed cat. They were also not alone. On the other side off the small kitten knelt a young girl in an orange and white kimono. Next to her stood a short green imp that held a two headed staff that measured a full head taller then the creature. What surprised the group the most however was the giant two headed beast of burden that sat on the ground behind the two strangers. This creature they eyed nervously as it returned their stares in much the same manner.

 

“Well now if it isn't the little toad, Jaken.” Lennex taunted the kappa demon, remembering their first meeting. He kept his senses on high alert so that if the demons master appeared, there would not be a replay of last time.

 

The green demon narrowed his yellow eyes and crossed his arms a little tighter, causing the staff to shift in the crook of his arm. Jaken didn't respond but turned his attention back to his traveling companion and the pest that was talking with her.

 

“We found her here in the forest as we were traveling. She looked pretty banged up. Lord Sesshomaru told us to stay here as he went to investigate the roadway. I figured since she was hurt we could take care of her.” The young girl said pointing to the bandage that was wrapped around Kirara's middle.

 

“Thank you Rin,” Shippo said to the girl before softly petting the two tailed cat, “how are you Kirara?” he asked. The kitten replied with a small meow before closing her eyes.

 

“Lord Sesshomaru said she would be fine when he returned from the roadway, saying rest and time would be the only thing the demon cat needed.” Rin spoke again, alleviating Shippo's worry.

 

While the two had talked Lennex had quickly filled in his friends who these people were and who they were talking about. He looked towards the young girl and asked a question.

 

“Where is his high and mighty lord ship anyways?”

 

This caused Jaken to take the staff into his hands and point it menacingly at the Sayjin.

 

“Lord Sesshomaru,” the green demon put much emphasis on the name, “Went off to discover what happened to his wretched half brother. He said there was some kind of battle, and why he doesn't care if Inuyasha lives or dies, it should be he that deals the killing blow.”

 

Lennex's eyes widened a bit at that news and turned to the others.

 

“This could be an issue for us if he went to the Kremon camp and caused problems. Sesshomaru is like Vegeta, he's not really a people person.”

 

Vegeta pinned his protégé with glare before speaking to Jaken.

 

“How long ago did your master leave?”

 

“Not that it's any of your business but he left a half hour ago.” He replied with much contempt.

 

“Think that is enough time for him to get there?” Krillian said out loud.

 

The sudden spike in energy they all felt coming from the forest east of them was the entire group needed to answer that question correctly.

 

Yes

 

0-0-0-0-0

 

The Kremon solider lay face up on the ground, his open eyes stared lifelessly towards the heavens as the tall aristocratic demon stepped over him. His armor was torn open by the demons energy whip attack and it had the rest of the soldiers platoon on guard.

 

Sesshomaru coolly regarded the rest of the soldiers and their apparent leader who was sitting at a small table with food and drink and what appeared to be scrolls littering the table. Next to him stood his half brothers priestess. She looked worse for wear, dirty, clothes rumpled and ripped, and tired. But the one thing he noticed was that the proud fire that always lit her gaze was still there. She looked shocked to see him as much as the common soldiers did. Said soldiers were starting to form a wall between him and his prey that slowly stood from his table glaring at the new comer to his camp. He barked something sharply to Kagome and the young woman shrank backwards, appearing meek to the man. Sesshomaru's sharp eyes saw her quickly glance over towards the left and he followed her gaze.

 

He now knew why she obeyed so readily. His half brother was collared and chained to a simple metal stake in the ground. His clothes shredded and the air was filled with the reek of his blood, their father's sword was stuck into the ground a mere foot away. The injuries kept him lying on his side and his eyes, though cloudy with pain, kept a constant watch on Kagome.

 

The man that had stood from his table walked over to Inuyasha for his eyes had seen both glances towards the injured half demon and violently kicked him in the ribs. Inuyasha cried out in pain

 

Kagome sucked in a sharp breath and moved towards her injured friend, pleading with the man to leave him alone and was shoved backwards hard enough to lose her balance and land on the ground with a grunt.

 

The man finally looked at Sesshomaru and questioned, “What brings you here demon.” He said for such a similar appearance to his beaten prisoner left no doubt in his mind this creature was a demon.

 

“I have come to find out what manner of beings have invaded my land, and to find out why my half brothers blood fouls the air.” He replied quietly but forcefully.

 

“Your land eh?” the man replied as he walked forward to step in line with his men. “And this little weakling is your dear brother is he?”

 

“I spoke of no affection for the mongrel, just the fact that his blood fouls the air. Whether he lives or dies is of no concern to me, but his life belongs to me as I am the elder brother. It would not be fit for my father's blood to be spilled by likes of you.”

 

The leader laughed causing some of his men to join in before speaking to them.

 

“Well, it certainly seems like we have found an extremely regal demon in these parts haven't we? What should we do about his attitude?”

 

One of the men towards the outside of the line spoke up, “I think the proper thing to do would be to teach him some humbleness, Commander Jizu.”

 

“All too right corporal, take a couple men and beat it into him for us.” Jizu said smiling at the tall demon.

 

The solider that had spoken slapped the two men on either side of him and the three charged in trying to catch Sesshomaru off guard with their sudden rush.

 

The Demon however had other ideas as he met them head on seeming to blur out of existence and reappearing in front of the lead soldier, his singular arm shot out and his hand glowed an eerie green color grabbing the man around the throat. The soldier screamed as the poison that excreted from Sesshomaru's clawed hand came in contact with his flesh.

 

The scream caught the other two off guard and they faltered in their attack. Sesshomaru picked the man up by the neck sinking his clawed fingers into the man's neck allowing the poison to enter the inside of the man's neck, dissolving flesh and muscle from the inside out before throwing him at the corporal, whose suggestion had started this chain of events. The two men collided and sprawled in the dirt. The corporal shoved his mate off of him and looked at the man. There was hardly anything left of his neck and he heard a gurgling sound coming from him, as he tried to get air to his lungs around the poisoned damage to his air way. The corporal knew he would soon be dead.

 

In the time it took for him to take stock of his condition the second man he had enlisted to help was currently fending off the whip attack that felled their sentry. Since he had seen it eat through the armor he tried to keep his distance from the attack, but multiple gashes adorned his once pristine chest plate, evidence of failure in that endeavor.

 

Sesshomaru moved at lightning speed to close the gap between them and shoved his hand through the weakened armor and into the man's body just above the heart. He let the poison drip from his claws once again to finish the job. The solider fell to the ground, dead before he hit.

 

The corporal had regained his feet and powered his arm cannon, readying it to fire when a weak chuckle reached their ears. Sesshomaru heard it too and turned his eyes to his half brother. Jizu and his men followed suit.

 

Kagome had taken the opportunity the fight provided her and knelt on the ground behind Inuyasha, propping him into a sitting position with her body.

 

“Looks like you are good for something Sesshomaru, just like the kit told you, you get Kagome and the others out of here, and father's fang is yours.” Inuyasha said, his voice sounded wet, a sure sign that blood had entered his lungs.

 

Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes as he gazed upon his brother and the woman who journeyed with him. He then took in the other two traveling companions further back into the camp next to what looked like a bunk house. The woman was in a cage, lying on the ground, the awkward angle of her back showing it to be broken. The monk was tied to the outside, barely moving and staring intently at his bandaged hand. The cloth around it fluttered violently.

 

He then looked back at Inuyasha “I don't know what you're talking about half breed, but once I am done with these pathetic beings, I shall gladly put you out of our misery and take Tetsuiga for myself.”

 

The words caused Inuyasha and Kagome both too stare back in confusion. The corporal took his chance and fired and energy blast from his arm mounted cannon and a golden ball flew forward. In one smooth motion, Sesshomaru drew one of his swords, the Tokijin, and parried the attack; the swords evil aura surrounded it to deflect the energy away. He then disappeared and before the corporal knew what had happened the blade stuck through his chest, a voice whispering behind him.

 

“Only cowards attack their opponent when they are not looking.” Sesshomaru said pulling the blade out of the man allowing him to fall with a thud. He flicked the sword downwards, throwing the blood off of it before placing it next to the scabbard katana in his belt.

 

The rest of the soldiers readied themselves to attack, but Jizu laughed. “Very good demon, but I wonder how you would fair against men like me, who can use their own energy and not rely on tools. Some men appeared out of the building at the rear of the camp; the 4 that had helped capture the group and joined Jizu at the center of the group.

 

Sesshomaru didn't respond but waited for them to make a move.

 

0-0-0-0-0

 

“He is pretty efficient isn't he?” Krillian commented from the tree line as the group watched the battle. Goku and Piccolo voiced their agreement and Vegeta had to silently agree. He had put down the three soldiers with apparent ease and skill that told of many battles.

 

“Trouble.” 18 said calmly. They watched as 4 men joined their companions in the gathering of soldiers. Their power levels were much higher than the common soldiers.

 

“Those are the four that took Inuyasha and the others!” Shippo exclaimed.

 

Lennex narrowed his eyes. These were the people that were responsible for the condition of his friends. He worried about his new friends as they didn't look very good. And the treatment of Kagome had set him on edge.

 

“We need to do something and quick.” He said. Vegeta nodded his agreement

 

“I have a plan,” he said and motioned to Lennex and Shippo, “You two go out there and stall them for a moment, as I explain the plan to the others, and then introduce me so I may speak with them.”

 

Lennex nodded and waved to Shippo. “Let's go!”

 

0-0-0-0-0

 

Sesshomaru could sense that these men were about ready to attack and considered transforming into his true form to handle the whole lot of them when movement behind him gathered all their attention. He turned his head slightly and noticed the final missing member to his brothers party and the stranger he met almost a year ago walking from the tree line.

 

“Looks like we are having a lot of visitors today.” Jizu said as he pressed a button on his gauntlet. Those soldiers that had not come out to meet Sesshomaru abandoned their tasks at Jizu's calling and formed up to meet their guests. Their numbers not totaling almost 40 soldiers, not counting the 4 that lay dead on the ground

 

“It also looks like the fox that escaped has returned.” Another man said.

 

Lennex ignored the soldiers banter and nodded to Kagome who had locked eyes with him the moment he appeared. He prayed that he gave her some hope by just being there, as he wasn't entirely sure what Vegeta had planned. He stopped next to Sesshomaru and said

 

“Fancy meeting you here oh mighty Sesshomaru.”

 

The demon coolly clanked at Lennex but said nothing.

 

“Soldiers of the Kremon Alliance, My name is Lennex and I come before you to introduce someone who would like a word or two with you.” Lennex spoke to the man facing off against him. He wanted to reassure Kagome and actually see to his friends, but he knew Vegeta knew what he was doing so he stuck to his assigned task.

 

“And just who would like to talk to us?” Jizu asked, puzzled that this stranger knew the name of their faction.

 

“I'm glad you asked that. He is a man of many successful campaigns. Someone who knows the true meaning of battle. A man to be feared to be sure.” Lennex answered. “A person of such great importance that you will remember this day for the rest of your lives. He is someone who…”

 

“Get on with it before I lose my patience!” Jizu interrupted, tired of the delay. He wanted the blood of these invaders and he was tired of interruptions.

 

Lennex hoped that he had given Vegeta enough time for he saw no other way to stall. “I would like to introduce to you the prince of the Sayjin empire, Prince Vegeta!” his voice rose in timber as he spoke the name of his friend and hoped it was a good enough introduction to please Vegeta.

 

He turned and saw Vegeta walk out of the forest at a measured pace. Taking in the opposing soldiers as he walked towards them. Weaklings all of them especially to he and the rest of his group but he needed to make this look good. Timing was essential.

 

“What would Sayjins be doing in this star system? We thought star travel was beyond your pathetic knowledge.” Jizu responded. He didn't like these little surprises and knew he should report it, but if he could capture a Sayjin and give him to their leader, he would be greatly rewarded.

 

“That doesn't concern you Commander Jizu, what does is the business proposition that I bring to you concerning this mud ball of a planet and the inhabitants it holds.” Vegeta said, slipping back into his long unused “public” voice.

 

Jizu followed the prince's movements and then took stalk of the others as he came even with his friends. He was vastly outnumbered so he wasn't too worried. He noticed the little fox staring behind him at his prisoners. He tried to hold a brave face but he could see the worry in his gaze. He looked at the Price of Sayjins

 

“Well, Prince Vegeta, before we conduct new business, I would like a chance to finish some old business, namely the little fox. He evaded capture, and the two soldiers responsible for that mishap would like a chance to redeem themselves.” He looked to two of his group,

 

“Reien, Basku, with the mighty princes approval, I want this fox dead.”

 

Shippo looked sharply at Jizu at such a brazen command and heard Kagome gasp. She stood up quickly letting Inuyasha fall backwards a bit and shouted.

 

“No! You can't do that he's just a child!” she shouted stepping up to Jizu, all obedience gone from her visage.

 

The commander looked down his nose at the girl before grabbing her roughly by the arm.

 

“It is time you learned your place. Your little protests at your companions well being was amusing for a time, but now I grow weary of it.” He roughly jerked her to one of his many solders.

 

“Take her somewhere and do what you please. Show her what it means to be subjugated by the Kremon alliance.” He looked at Vegeta to see his reaction.

 

“Do what you will, I care not for the girl.” Vegeta said sounding almost bored

 

The solider grinned and looked down at Kagome. “Run little rabbit, run!” he whispered to her.

 

Kagome looked to Lennex, real fear in her eyes. He nodded slightly, willing to the girl the message to take the soldiers advice and run. He wanted to save her now, but Vegeta made it clear what stance to take. He didn't like Vegeta very much at the moment.

 

While Kagome may have not gotten the message, the wounded Inuyasha did.

“RUN KAGOME!” he shouted as he struggled to stand and possible help out the woman he cared about.

 

His voice brought her to action and she took off towards the building. The solider kept on smiling and walked after her counting backwards quietly from five. Kagome made it to the entrance of the bunk house and looked inside. She was sure she could barricade herself in there but then she would be trapped so she did the next thing that came to her mind and take her out of his site and ran behind the building.

 

The soldier had reached zero and then picked up his speed, eating up the distance that separated him from his prey and disappearing behind the building. They heard Kagome gasp and the noise of struggle reached their ears. Some of the soldiers laughed and others grinned knowing what was about to happen. Some wondered what the young girl would sound like.

 

Their wonderment stopped as Vegeta raised his arm and let loose an energy blast, spearing one of the solders, and the man behind him, both falling dead with a fist sized whole through their bodies.

 

“I don't care what he does to the girl, but I want the rest of you paying attention to those who matter.” Vegeta said. The enemy soldiers took the advice seriously.

 

The two hunters looked intently at Shippo waiting for their commander to order his execution when Vegeta spoke again.

 

“I grow tired of these interruptions. Let's get on with it before I lose my patience again with your idle amusements.”

 

Basku and Reien toned down their gaze a bit. They were stronger then most of the grunts here, but still had not mastered ki manipulation. They did not want to anger the prince and feel his wrath.

 

Jizu smiled and replied. “Well then Vegeta, prince of the Sayjins. Let us talk before I lose any more men.”

 

Lennex saw Vegeta nod in agreement while his thoughts were with the struggling girl out of site. He hoped Vegeta's plan was a damn good one, and happened very quickly, otherwise he would make sure his friend and master knew of his upset and anger. And whether the fight would turn ugly for the younger Sayjin, he would make sure Vegeta paid for any harm done to his new friends.

 

Kagome's fate, as well as the rest of the fallen warriors, would be answered, he supposed, in due time.

AN: what a horrible place to stop eh. I wanted to get to the next part in this chapter but as it stands already it's a little ways into its 13th page. I shall try to whip out the next chapter so you won't have to wonder what happens to poor Kagome. A further note is another friend offered her assistance in reading and proofing my story. Lord knows I try but I'm too close to my writing to pick up everything. Hopefully after she gets caught up with my first story, you all will start seeing the benefits of a new beta. Until next chapter
