InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Inuyasha's unknown heritage (Yes boring title I know!) ❯ Warning. ( Chapter 20 )

Chapter 20) Warning.

~~ Kagome's Well ~~

After a few moments of quiet, the barriers around Inuyasha and Kateru's groups fell. The rain stopped and the clouds cleared as if they were never there, the moon shown down with a fierce full light as the night creatures became active again. Kaede, Miroku, and Sango stood there as well with looks of amazement.

Lina shared a look with her mate before leading him before the group.

He was a few inches taller than Lina, who was Inuyasha's height, and had a head of shoulder length black curly hair. His eyes were a golden brown color upon closer inspection, with gold flecks within. He was heart stoppingly handsome with ears like Lina's and wore a deep, almost midnight blue, shirt with a beaded moon on the back with a matching blue set of leggings and black moccasins on his feet. Around his neck he wore a chocker of large black beads with a brass pendant in the center of the chocker in the shape of a circle with a large circle crystal imbedded in the center.

Smiling at the group he looked at them all before speaking to them in a voice like honey. "Hello to you all. My name is Joseph and if you haven't guessed already, I am Lina's mate." Raising a perfectly sculptured eyebrow, he looked around.

Noticing a blank look from all, he chuckled softly.

Looking over upon his twinkling eyed mate, he magically produced a black backpack, similar in style to Kagome's from the air and opened it.

Pulling out what was obvious to Kagome and a few others, as fireworks, Joseph inquired to the group with a jovial voice. "Now who wanted fireworks today?"

Silence descended upon the group, until Shippo's brain registered the word "Fireworks". Kagome had explained fireworks to him once when explaining a festival she had gone to in her time. So Shippo knew what they were. "Fireworks?!! Real fireworks?!!!" Shippo questioned with alight eyes.

Joseph knelt down to the kits level and held out a string of blackcat fireworks and waited for the kits reaction.

"YEAH!!!" Shippo practically screamed. Snatching the firework string and Kagome's hand, Shippo drug her towards the village without further ado.

Standing back up and looking over at Lina, Joseph followed the kit and soon everyone else followed to see the display of the "Fireworks".

~~Kouga's camp~~

Kouga breathed heavily as he looked out upon his group. They had barley made it out of the way of the large wave of purifying magic that had appeared out of nowhere. Sighing in relief that noone had been hurt; he looked towards the region that the magic had come from. Deciding that they needed a rest, Kouga directed everyone to relax for the time being. Looking around, Kouga found a nice smooth boulder near him to sit upon to ponder this new development. They had been searching towards the village Kagome stayed in, for signs of Naraku, when the magic had appeared to crash down upon the tree line. Everyone had run for their lives to higher ground. Luckily they had been at the base of a mountain when they had spotted it, so they hadn't far to travel. Briefly Kouga worried about Kagome. They were near enough and that kind of power was deadly to most but mikos, he hoped she was ok. Deciding suddenly to aleave his worry and to get to the bottom of the power, he directed his pack to get ready.

They were going to visit Kagome in Kaede's village.

~~Somewhere in the mountains to the west ~~

Power larger than that he had ever felt before rushed to the forefront of his mind as he focused on the feeling. The power was pure but so strong that it made his pulse pound and his breathing laborious. Greedily he opened his eyes with a glazed look from his meditation pose in the middle of his chamber. The power was still rising and had yet to spike. It was just getting more and more powerful.

Suddenly he felt another power that was just as large and reaching as the first. His eyes glazed even more as his curly hair blocked his face from view as he lowered his head. A rueful grin crossed his face as he felt the two powers become one and keep rising.

Suddenly he felt a controlled peak of the two powers. It was enough magic to purify a small region or country. But he felt the being or beings holding back the power. This wasn't the full potential; he could feel that for certain. He was frightened a little really at such purifying magic. But it gave him a naughty shiver as well. Such power and he wanted it. It was almost more powerful than the bauble that Inuyasha was trying to recover, the very bauble that he had the most of.

Yet these beings were more powerful than the shikon and he wanted to control that power.

Shaking off his lustful thoughts, he sent some of his bees to scout the area.

Summoning Kanna, Naraku looked upon her mirror as the bees reached their target area.

Large bursts of stuff were lighting up the sky as the bees neared their targets.

Kanna held up her mirror for her master.

He looked upon a pair of odd youkai that the bees had picked out from the crowd below. Sure that they were being stealthy, he watched in fascination at the pair.

Suddenly the female youkai looked straight at the bee. Naraku looked upon the mirror as she whisper mouthed one word. The bees died a quick death and every detachment Naraku sent just to be sure it wasn't a fluke, died as well. Finally Kanna's mirror developed a tiny crack, just enough to lower her power.

Looking on with shock and a fearful fascination. He knew that the word was a sentence against the soul. It had been whispered onto the wind and with fear filling malice; each word flowed towards its goal to warn its victim of impending doom. "Naraku."
