Chapter 25: Back to my village


*** (Inuyasha and Group) ***

The group has been traveling non-stop trying to find Kiri. Withe out Shippo and Rin the others were able to travel faster. Sesshoumaru was not doing very good. He cut himself off from everything, her wouldn't talk to any one, he hardly slept, and ate little. Even a demon had to rest and eat.


Currently the group has stopped for the night. Kagome, Inuyasha, Sango, and Miroku sat by the fire waiting for the ramen to be done. Sesshoumaru was sitting up in a tree sucluding himself from every one. Inuyasha looked over at Sesshoumaru. He wouldn't admit it but her was begining to worry about his brother. Every night Sesshoumaru would sit in a tree and stare at the stars not saying a word. When ever some one would offer him food he would ignore them refusing to eat.

When the ramen was done it was passed out to every one. Inuyasha took his bowl and walked over to the tree that Sesshouamru was sitting in "Hey Sesshouamru...here you need to eat something"

Inuyasha didn't expect what Sesshoumaru said next "It's been eight days now and we still haven't found her...why?"

Inuyasha handed hes food to Kagome and jumped into the tree with Sesshouamru "You know as well as I do that it's hard to find Naraku unless he want's to be found and with his castle being able to move makes it even harder to find him. For all we know the castle can appear right in front of us" getting an evil idea Inuyasha smirked "You know when kiri get's back she won't want to see you all skin and bones so..." Inuyasha pushed Sesshouamru off the tree "you might want to eat something!" Inuyasha hollered after him.

Sesshouamru fell from the tree and landed not so gracefully on the ground "Inuyasha" Sesshoumaru growled.

"Relax your a demon, it's not like your going to hurt yourself" Inuyasha laughed

"SIT"

"AHHHH" Inuyasha fell "What was that for?"

"That was mean Inuyasha" Kagome scolded as she handed Sesshouamru a bowl of ramen.

"Yeah well I had to get him out of the tree some how"

"Still you could have been nicer about it"

"Yeah fine just as long as he eats something" Inuyasha sat down "we will leave as soon as possible tommrow"

*** (Kiri) ***

Ever since Kiri got the collar her life has been hell. After days of fighting Naraku and the pain of the collar Kiri gave up. There was nothing she could do about it, she had to do as he said. Since Naraku had control of Kiri her let her pick out a wepon because she would need some kind of defence if she ran into any kind of trouble while carrying out his orders. She had picked out her favorite. Twin daggers. Kiri still had the same room only she got a little better bed and a mirror was placed in the corner of her room. At the moment Kiri stood in front of her mirror in a blood red kimono. She had cut her hair since it was almost dragging on the floor. Now it came just a little above her knees. Half of her hair was up with some hanging down to frame her face. Her daggers were sliped in her belt, one on each side. Ther she stood in front of the mirror staring at her reflexion. The golden collar around her neck that held a black gem. The key to her pain. Scratch marks were still healing and she hoped that they wouldn't scar. She was getting ready for her next job Naraku was sending her on.She was to go to a village and collect the money that they owed. If she refused she was to slaughter them all. Sighing to herself she left the room. Leaving the castle Kiri took off to the village she used to know. THe one where Tio lived.

Upon landing at the village every one ran for cover "Relax, I just want to talk to who ever is in charge here" Kiri called out. No one came. "Alright, I'm going to give you till the count of five then I'm going to start blowing things up" Kiri held out her hand holding something like an energy ball glowing a light purple tint. "One..." no one came "Two..." She was answered by silence "Three...four...fi-"

"Alright I'll come out just put that thing away" a voice called out

"Thank you" Kiri smirked droping her hand, the eerergy ball dissapearing. When a person steped out from behind the rubble Kiri realized who it was "Tio...your in charge of this place?"

"Yes Kiri I am...what do you want?"

"I'm just here to collect the money that you owe Naraku that's all"

"So your working for Naraku now?"
"Is that so? well I don't have the money right now, but tommrow I should"

"That's not good enough, I need the money today"

"can't I give it to you tommrow?"

"I won't be here tommrow damn it" Kiri grabbed Tio by the front of her shirt and pointed to her collar around her neck "See this? Naraku put this on me so now I have to do eveything he tells me...if you don't give me that money today I have to kill each and every one of you" Kiri pushed Tio away "I don't want to hurt you, any of you"

"The thing is Kiri, we only have a little over half of the money we owe"

"Damn it Tio wnat have you been doing the whole time...having a party?"

"Listen it's hard to get all that money"

"Fine...just give me what you have"

"But what will happen you tell him?"
"I don't, I'll make something up"

"Thank you" Tio ran into the house. A moment later she came out holding a pouch most likely the money. Tio handed Kiri the pouch. With a quick nod Kiri left.

"Where is the rest of the money?" Naraku asked

"That's all they had" Kiri sighed

"And you didn't kill them?" he continued to question

"The had over half of it, I mean it's not like you need any more money"

"Yes but I told you that if they didn't give you what they owed then you were to kill. Am I right?"

"Yes but that's all they had...I thought that would be enough"

"But it's not" Suddenly the jewel lit up and Kiri was the ground trying to get the collar off "Now you will go back to there and get the rest of the money. If they do not give it to you, you will kill them, do you understand?" Naraku said over Kiri's screams. When she didn't answer the pain became worse. "Understand?" Naraku said

"YES!" Kiri screamed out.

"Good" Naraku walked out of Kiri's room leaving her on the floor trying to recover from his so called 'punishment'. "You have three hours before the castle moves agian" Naraku called over his shoulder. Once Kiri recovered she left for the village once agian.

Kiri landed in the village with an energy ball charged and ready. "I need the rest of that money!" Kiri yelled out when Tio walked over to her.

"But Kiri I thought you said that you would do something about it" Tio said

"I tried but it didn't really work, see" Kiri pointed to her neck. Freash blood running down her neck to mix with her blood red Kimono. "I have no choice, either give me the money or I destroy the village"

"But Kiri I told you. I don't have the money"

"Then you better get every one out of here"

*** (Sesshoumaru) ***

"come on Sesshoumaru that's where that village is...she won't be there" Inuyasha yelled out.

"It's always better to start at the begining if you want to find something" Kagome said.

Sesshoumaru stopped dead in his tracks when a scent hit his sensitive nose. The smell of sakura blossoms. "Kiri" he whispered.

Every one went dead quiet "What do you mean?" Inuyasha asked.

"I can smell her...she's close" Sesshoumaru took off at a dead run "She's at the village"
