4: Attack and defend


Right after Sango left.

'Hope she doesn't take too long.' Looking towards Miroku poking at the fire Inuyasha jumps from his perch on the tree. "What's eating you Miroku? Sango hit you too hard?" Too caught up in thought, Miroku keeps poking the fire. "Hey, monk I'm talking to you!"

Snapping out of thought, Miroku looks quickly to Inuyasha. "Hmm, did you say somthing Inuyasha?"

Squatting next to Miroku, Inuyasha looks concerned, but only for a second. "What's with you? You've never looked so serious." Seeing as he won't get an answer, Inuyasha snickers and leaves.

"Where are you going?"

"To get something to eat, they're taking to long." Walking to the edge of the clearing Inuyasha's ears twitch.

"What's wrong?" Getting up to join Inuyasha, Miroku lets his senses expand to try and sense any others presence.

"Thought I heard something." Both men stiffen. Just ahead is Kagura, behind her are numerous demons at her disposal. "Kagura, what do you want now?!"

Letting a short giggle escape, Kagura brings up her fan to her face. "Why Inuyasha, we have known each other a while now and you still do not know what my presence means? I am disappointed. I gave you more credit then expected."

"Shut up Kagura! We won't hand over the jewel shards!" Unsheathing Tetsaiga, Inuyasha prepares for battle.

"There now, I knew you'd know. I have a message from Naraku. The last jewel shards are almost found. Soon, we shall claim yours. Prepare yourself Inuyasha, the final battle draws near. And as a parting gift to you I leave you these. Go! attack, and destroy!" After her command, the army of demons attack the two solitary men. As a final task Kagura throws down a hive of poisonous insects. Not wanting to get in the way, Kagura draws out a feather from her hair and flies away.

"Damn her. Miroku! Be on your guard."

"No need to tell me Inuyasha!" Getting prepared for an assault, Inuyasha swipes down Tetsaiga, the start of the fight.


As the sun set and the moon rises, Kagome is lead through the castle of the western lands. Silent oos and awes are Kagome's responses to the size and beauty of Sesshoumaru's home. Paintings of past lords and ladies of the western land, hang proudly in the hall. A few last minute servants are busying themselfs with final chores before they retire for the night. At the end of the hall, are a few doors, "This is where you will sleep as a guest in this house. I shall have a servant show you to Rin's room. If you need anything, just ask the servants."

"Thank you Sesshoumaru." Giving him a slight bow before entering, Kagome opens the door and finds the room quite cozey. The bed is large with light blue silk sheets. The dressers are large, but the room is large enough to fit its massive size. Small desk sets are fitted to the wall. A night stand by the bed, and the window shows the beauty of the gardens and moon. Going over to sit by the window Kagome can't help but admire the view.

"I hope the room is to your liking miss." Turning to see an elderly woman smiling and bowing in respect. She has long fire red hair and green eyes, her skin tone seems to be a bit yellow then tanned. She seems nice enough.

"Yes, this room is beautiful." Going over to introduce herself Kagome bows and begins, "I am Kagome Higurashi, I'm thankful for such hospitality."

"No thanks necessary, Lady Kagome. Please, allow me to introduce myself, I am Yamori, I am the demon healer I presume My lord has told you of?"

"Yes, but he did not give a name." 'So she's a gecko. Funny she doesn't seem like one. Well neither does Sesshoumaru and he doesn't look like a dog.'

"That is fine, come I am to show you who you are to heal." exiting out the door and going down a few short halls, they reach an open door. "This is where young Rin is sleeping. She is a nice girl but a little hyper at times. Do what you can to help her."

Entering the bedroom, Kagome sees a little head resting peacefully on some pillows. With a closer look Kagome sees the bumps Sesshoumaru had mentioned earlier. Placing the back of her hand on Rins forehead, she feels warm, but nothing to really worry about. Rin moves under her blanket and seems to be scratching herself in her sleep. "I don't think it's anything to really worry about. She just has the Chickenpox. Everyone gets them sooner or later. <If they don't have them in feudal Japan, they do now.> The real worry is if she continues to scratch those bumps she may get an infection. Do you carry any ointment to stop her from scratching?" Looking over her shoulders to Yamori, to see her digging through her waist bag, she pulls out a small container of cream. "This isn't enough. Do you know how long she has had these?"

"She has been ill for two days." Both girls turn to the door to see Sesshoumaru leaning on the door frame. "tell me what are these 'Chickenpox'? Are they life threatening?"

"No, it's nothing too serious, all she really needs is some rest and some medicine to keep her fever from going to high. When I was her age I had gotten the Chickenpox. Every human gets them once in there life, then they become imuned to them, and never get that disease again. It's not very pleasant because those bumps itch like crazy." Seeing him raise an eyebrow, Kagome doesn't know how to explain it any better than that. "I don't want to disturb her, I'll put this on her in the morning. But this won't be enough. Yamori, what did you make this cream out of?"

"It is made by crushing a blue ivy, oddly enough, but if you mix it with some ash tree root, it will kill the toxins in the ivy and its nectar will become a powerful ingredient. Many potions are made with this ivy."

"Do you have any at the moment, so that you can make more?"

"No, it is a rare plant, and does not grow in a garden. If you damage its roots, it will not grow. So we must not disturb it." Looking a bit embarrassed that a healer is in low supply of a substance, Yamori excuses herself from the room.

Thinking, Kagome asks, "Sesshoumaru, didn't we pass by a blue ivy?"

"If you mean that flower, then yes, we did."

"Is that the ivy we need?" Thinking back to memory Sesshoumaru nods. Kagome smiles, "How about we get that ivy? It wasn't too long a trip was it?"

Leaving the room Sesshoumaru says, "We leave in the morning."
