Sesshoumaru sat on the roof of High Stone thinking. No one else came up here and right now he needed to be alone. `It was a mistake to bring that damned thing here. Now Naraku will find the true Shikon Jewel and then we will all be in danger' he thought but pushed it aside he knew how strong the barrier around the West was and Naraku wouldn't be able to get through. He leapt off the roof and walked to the boarders of his lands and could smell Naraku's putrid scent. `He's tried to get in but he can't' Sesshoumaru thought with a twinge of smugness. This barrier was his. Meaning of course he had put it up and only he could take it down. `Inuyasha can take it down but he sees no reason to' he walked along the edge and listened to everything.

 

 

Miroku could see Sesshoumaru in the distance. Him, Sango, Kilala and Shippo were getting away from Inuyasha. Inuyasha had changed and not in a good way. Since Kagome had left, Inuyasha had slowly gotten worse. Now he was so bad that his own friends had to abandon him. Taking with them the jewel shards.

“Sesshoumaru! Please! Let us into your lands!” Miroku called over the distance.

 

 

Sesshoumaru walked out of his lands and waited until they came close. He remained like always. Hiding the fact that they were going to bring with them the storm Inuyasha now was. He didn't need to hear the story they had to tell to know Inuyasha had lost it. He stepped aside so they knew he would allow them into his lands.

 

 

They walked past him. All surprised he was allowing them in. All showed their thanks and entered. After Sesshoumaru entered as well. He had servants show them to their rooms. Sesshoumaru didn't go back in. He stayed outside of High Stone thinking once more.

 

Kagome looked and saw her friends. “Miroku! Sango! Shippo!” she cried out happily. Inwardly she was relieved that they came to her but also she was dreading hearing the reason why they looked worn out and like they had went a long way without stopping.

“Kagome!” Shippo leapt into Kagome's arms. Kagome hugged him tight then looked at her other friends.

“What happened?” she asked. `Oh please don't let this be what I think it is' she thought.

“Inuyasha has lost his mind completely. He made up look for the jewel shards relentlessly. Also he brought in Kikyo and help her gather her souls,” Miroku explained.

“We took all we could but it was too much,” Shippo looked up at Kagome, “Inuyasha is going to come after the jewel shards we brought with us.” Kagome grew worried but hid it behind her smile.

“Inuyasha won't get far. There are guards everywhere along the borders and Sesshoumaru will know if Inuyasha is here,” Kagome tried hard to make her friends not worry. It worked.

All around High Stone bells were ringing and demons, humans, and half demons were rushing about. Kagome saw Shikobira.

“Shikobira, what's going on?” Kagome asked.

“Something's gotten past the barrier and is coming this way quickly,” Shikobira answered. Kagome looked at her friends.

“We need to hide the Shikon Jewel shards. Come on! We have to find Suka!” Kagome called as she ran off towards the kitchen. Of course her friends followed; wondering who Suka was. Kagome got to the kitchen. “Suka! Inuyasha is coming for the jewel shards. We need to put them where Sesshoumaru put the other ones,” Kagome looked pleadingly at Suka.

Suka nodded, “alright. Follow me.” She walked off and Kagome and her friends followed. Suka walked to the room where the guards were. They stepped aside and Suka opened the locked doors. All walked inside and there in that room was a jewel that looked like the Shikon Jewel only more powerful and on the other side of the room the shards of the Shikon Jewel.

“What jewel is that?” Sango asked.

Suka looked over, “that is the real Shikon Jewel. The one Inuyasha is after is a fake. It was placed out into the wilds to take away the attention on the real one,” Suka answered.

“So the jewel we have here is an imitation?” Kagome asked in disbelief. Suka nodded.

“But isn't that impossible? No one can make an imitation,” Shippo asked.

“It is impossible to make an imitation of an imitation but possible to make an imitation of the real thing,” Suka answered.

“People have been fighting and dying for a fake Shikon jewel. An imitation,” Kagome muttered sadly.

“I'm sorry it's true. But its better they do not know about the real Shikon Jewel,” Suka answered as she blew on the jewel shards of the fake Shikon and they turned to dust. All watched in amazement. They heard a crash. “We must get out of this room,” Suka ordered.

“Why?” Shippo asked.

“Every minute this door open, this room become a bigger and bigger target,” Suka explained. All got out of that room. Just in time as well. “He's almost here,” Suka muttered.
