Chapter 29

 

Jade and Sesshomaru returned to their bodies, but he wouldn't let her go. “Why would you warn him of our coming?”

 

“I purposely angered him so that he may make a mistake. I also wanted him to know he will die by my hands.” She thought for a moment before speaking again. “Kikyo was there behind the door. I have no doubt they will try to kill everyone in their path to get what they want.”

 

“You and Inuyasha.”

 

“Yes.” She sat deep in thought. “We must warn the others of her involvement.” She stood to leave before being pulled back into her mate's embrace.

 

“Your worried about the hanyou.”

 

It wasn't a question but a statement she knew and she didn't like how he referred to his half brother. “No, I'm worried about Inuyasha's reaction to her involvement. I know he loves Kagome more than anything and wouldn't leave her, but I don't know if he could kill her if it comes to that and it will. Either way Kagome's soul must be returned to her before it is permanently tainted.” She looked into her mate's eyes. “Sooner or later Sesshomaru you will have to come to terms with Inuyasha.” She raised her hand when he started to growl. “Regardless of what you feel the fact is you both have your father's blood that runs through your veins. You are brothers be it full or half and we are family now regardless if you want to accept it or not. He has more than proven himself to you and is worthy of my respect if not yours.” She stood to look at him. “I do hope you consider it Sesshomaru because I have been completely alone for a long time now. It is not something I recommend.” She left him to his thoughts as she sought out Inuyasha and found that he and Kagome had returned to camp. She looked at the happy couple and smiled. “Inuyasha may I speak with you please.” At his nod she led him a short distance from the others and sat down.

 

Inuyasha looked at the woman in front of him and saw the tension in her shoulders before she looked at him. “What's wrong Jade?”

 

Jade took a deep breath before answering. “You know of whom I saw tonight.”

 

“Yes, you saw Naraku.”

 

“While there I noticed he was not alone Inuyasha. Kikyo was there with him and they plan to kill everyone possible to get to you and me.” She saw the hurt in his eyes and placed her hands on his. “I'm sorry Inuyasha, but she is not the woman you knew and she plans to kill your mate to get to you.”

 

“I won't let her near my mate.”

 

“I know that Inuyasha, but there is something you must understand. I will not allow harm to come to any of you. The portion of Kagome's soul that she is holding is slowly becoming tainted and if it is not returned then when she goes to hell she will condemn that part of Kagome to hell as well. I'm sorry, but I can't allow this any longer. I will not condemn her to that fate as I'm sure you wouldn't either.”

 

Inuyasha just looked at her with determination. “I understand Jade, but I will be the one to give her peace.”

 

“Thank you, Inuyasha. Everything else needs to be discussed with the others.” They both returned to camp with heavy hearts.

 

Everyone looked at her with curiousity when they returned and she sat beside her mate. “I'm sure you all know where I went tonight. I have found out that Kikyo has joined Naraku in this battle.” She watched as several of them looked at Inuyasha. “Miroku, Sango I want you and Kagura to protect Kanna while we confront them so that you can cover our backs as well. I do not want anyone to get in front of Kagome and me. The purity waves we will release, even if you are our mates, it will kill you.” She watched as they thought about her words.

 

Miroku watched as the woman he had come to know as kind, mischievous and resourceful turned in a woman that demanded respect and expected her orders to be followed without question. He was surprised by her authority and now knew why the guardians made her their lady. “We will do as you say Jade.”

 

“Thank you.”

 

Kagura watched as they spoke of their plans. She knew that Jade and Kagome were very powerful, but didn't know the full extent of that power. She felt however, that they needed to know a few things about Naraku's plans. “Lady Jade you should be aware that Naraku has several hundred demons that are going to fight. They have been promised shards of the jewel.”

 

“Thank you for telling us Kagura.”

 

“Kanna looked at her with curiosity. “How will you defeat that many Lady Jade? I know you are very powerful, but how can you possibly defeat so many?”

 

Jade looked at the child and was happy to see the worry in eyes that once held no emotion at all. “Don't worry little one we'll be fine.” They spoke for a while longer before Jade once more left camp to prepare herself for battle.

 

Miroku had watched her leave and rose to follow before he was stopped by a low growl from the taiyoukai. “I'm sorry Lord Sesshomaru sama I merely would like to speak to Lady Jade for a moment.”

 

“If you touch her you will die monk.”

 

“I understand.” He walked in the direction that she took and found her as usual meditating above the ground. As he watched he immediately noticed the amount of power swirling around her body as her hair and clothing blew wildly. Her wings unfolded as her barrier grew wider and even more power was released inside. He watched as her hair grew even darker making her streaks of silver and lavender more vibrant and he noticed that more sections of her hair were loosing color to only turn a forest green. Miroku was astounded at the power she released inside her barrier. It looked like a storm inside as streaks of power lit up the barrier making her features stand out and look more ethereal. The barrier expanded again as her wings became slightly larger and her legs unfolded. Although she was still levitating as usual her clothes started to change. She now wore a fighting kimono with the sleeves and back missing to accommodate her wings that had slits on either side to her waist made of green silk. It was tight fitting throughout the body showing off all of her curves and strapped around her neck. She had black silk leggings that were loose, but showed off the curves in her legs to perfection with knee high boots. The final changes came when her wings also gained green feathers and a black chocker with a sphere of pure green jade adorned her throat. Miroku could not believe what he had witnessed and didn't know someone had come to stand beside him.

 

“She's beautiful isn't she.”

 

Miroku was so startled he jumped slightly and turned to see Kagome watching her sister. “I've never seen so much power in one being Kagome. Her appearance has even changed slightly.”

 

“This is her true form Miroku and what you are feeling still is not her full strength. She is preparing herself for battle so that she may better handle her power.”

 

He was absolutely stunned by this new information. “How can she possibly be any more powerful than this? I've never felt this much power coming from one being.”

 

“You never will again either. That is why she was turned into an immortal and is now the Lady Guardian of the Realms. If she wasn't as powerful as she is than she wouldn't have been able to keep peace between them.”

 

“How long will she be like this?”

 

“About an hour or two usually, but because she knows you wish to speak to her it won't be long.”

 

“How does she know?”

 

She smiled at her friend. “While meditating the barrier puts you more in contact with everything as a form of protection. This way you can meditate and be aware if danger is near.”

 

“That is truly amazing.” He felt Jade's power increase once again before finally dieing down and returning to her body. He was entranced as her body slowly descended to the ground and she opened her eyes to look at him.

 

“What can I do for you Miroku?”

 

“Lady Jade I would like to speak to you about Kohaku.”

 

Jade just smiled at him. “Don't worry Miroku he's already being taken care of and will be returned to Sango safely.”

 

“Thank you Lady Jade.”

 

“Your welcome.” He had more questions she knew and sat down. “Ask you questions Miroku,” she told him.

 

Miroku sat beside her and had thought about what he wanted to ask. “What will ou do when Naraku is defeated?”

 

“I will return to my realm and will live between there and the Western lands with Sesshomaru.”

 

He looked up to see that Kagome had already returned to camp without him even noticing she had left. “How did you come to have so much power?”

 

Jade sighed and knew he would continue to ask until he received his answer. She looked at the stars and looked back at him. “Why do the stars shine brightly at night, what makes the rivers flow or the wolf howl at the moon? We don't know the reason or how of these things only that they are. The same is with my power I don't know how or why only that it is. I'm sorry I can't give you an exact answer.”

 

“It's alright. Will you stay for the wedding?”

 

“Do you think I would miss it? You act as if you'll never see me again.”

 

“I know you have many obligations and it will be hard to make time.”

 

She gently placed her hand on top of his to stop him. “No matter where I am all either of you have to do is call me and I will come. The same is for Kagome. You both are family to us and we will be there for you both.”

 

“Thank you, Lady Jade. You have done so much for us. I especially will never be able to repay you for your generosity.”

 

“No thanks or payment is necessary Miroku all I want is your and Sango's happiness. You deserve it.” She wasn't going to tell him that they planned on taking them with them when this was over. That was something they would discuss all together.

 

Miroku looked at her and noticed that the green in her hair was still present. “Why have you never shown your true power or appearance to us?”

 

“The time was not right and it would not have been wise to show either to soon.” She looked up to see Sesshomaru standing at the edge of the clearing waiting. “I do believe my mate is saying it's time to return.” She watched as he left and Sesshomaru came to sit beside her and ran his claws through her hair and noticed the green.

 

“When did this happen?”

 

“I had to let more of the barriers containing my power down tonight to prepare myself for battle. I want this done as quickly as possible.”

 

“Don't worry mate tomorrow we will find a suitable battle ground and defeat him.”

 

“I know he will perish, but the extra power is to finish it quickly and I will need it to send he and Kikyo to hell.”

Sesshomaru nodded his agreement to her before cupping her cheek in his hand and kissing her gently. It was slow and seductive and as he deepened it he could taste her even more. He wanted nothing more than to lay her down and pleasure her until she screamed his name, but instead he pulled back and held her close. Her arms went around his body to hold him closer as she laid her head on his shoulder. He stood with her bridal style and looked at the moon before looking at the beauty in his arms. Her hair was darker making the colors more vibrant and her wings seemed to glow in the moonlight as the tips touched the ground. She was the most beautiful creature he had ever laid eyes on and she belonged to him. He carried her to the edge of the clearing and sat down with her on his lap with his arms wrapped protectively around her body. The only thing he wanted was to be alone with the women he loved, but tomorrow would be a long day he knew. His eyes slowly closed as he took in the calming scent of his mate. `This will be over soon,' was the last thought he had before succumbing to sleep.
