Chapter 5: Old Rival - New Ally

The fate

Of her life

Is in my hands

I mustn't fail her

If I do

I lose everything

My love, my life

I have to do

Everything and anything

To save her

Even if it means

Relying on help

Of those I dislike

But no matter what

I will do

What I have to do

To let her live

Even if I must face death eye to eye

I must not fail

She's all the world to me

Without her

I'd have nothing

"Will you two hurry it up?! You're slowing me down!" Inuyasha yelled up to Miroku and Sango. They both were mounted on Kirara in the air following Inuyasha.

Almost two days had passed since Kagome was poisoned, and Inuyasha was trying to rush Miroku and Sango. He had been like that ever since they had left the village.

"We're going as fast as we can, Inuyasha. Do not worry. We'll get the flower and return to Kagome in time," Miroku yelled in return to Inuyasha.

"That's not good enough. We might be attacked on the way and be delayed. Then, we won't make it. Or what if we're wrong and Naraku attacks Kagome and the village. Either way, wav have to pick up the pace. Now move it! There's no time to waste." Inuyasha wasn't about to let anything slow him down.

"Inuyasha is right. I've already lost my family and village. If anything were to happen to one of you guys, I don't know what I would do." Sango was near tears again.

Miroku placed his hands on Sango's shoulders. "We'll make it in time. I am willing to stake my life on it." Sango nodded her head, feeling a bit better. He wrapped his arms around her waist and started whispering in her ear. She then giggled a little and smiled.

Green wasn't exactly Inuyasha's best color, to say the least. He heard what Miroku whispered to Sango and became envious of the two. He wasn't sure if he would be able to save Kagome. If he failed, then he would lose her. All the intimate times with Kagome would turn into only memories. He didn't want that to happen, not after all they had been through. Even if he knew that Kagome was only mortal and would die long before his time came, he wanted cherish and keep the moments alive as long as he could, even if it meant that he would have to follow her immediately in death. As long as he was with her, as long as he wasn't alone, it would be enough for him.

They continued on like that, Inuyasha pushing himself a hard as he could to go faster and Kirara right above him with Miroku and Sango on her back, for an hour or so. They were nearing the northern mountains when they saw a small pack of wolves lead by two people heading their way.

Inuyasha growled quietly when he saw who they were. "Damn it! I don't have time for him right now." It was Kouga and Ayame.

The four stopped as they closely approached. Everyone, except Kouga, stopped in front of them. "Hey, mutt-face! What are you doing my territory?"

"Mind your own damn business," Inuyasha answered.

"What did you say?!" Kouga said hot-headedly.

"Are you deaf, too? I thought you were just dumb," Inuyasha retorted.

"Say that to my face!"

"I just did, idiot."

"Why you-!" Sparks started shooting between the two's eyes.

"Cut it out you two!" Ayame said pushing the two apart.

"But he started it," Kouga said pointing at Inuyasha.

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

"Did-"

"STOP IT!!!" Ayame yelled shutting the other two up. "I don't care who started it. I'm gonna finish it!" Inuyasha and Kouga looked at each other and just faced the other way.

Ayame sighed. "Anyway, why are you guys here?"

By this time, Miroku and Sango had already dismounted Kirara.

"We're looking for a rare flower called the Hitorishizuka," explained Sango. "We were told that we could find it past these mountains."

"The Hitorishizuka? Wow, that flower is nearly impossible to get to. Why do you need it, and where's Kagome? I would've thought she'd be with you guys since she hang around with y'all a lot."

"Yeah, I was wondering about that too. I smelled dog-shit here but not Kagome. That's why I came over. And did you actually take a bath or is it just almost the night of the new moon?"

"Shut up! I ain't got time for you right now!"

"Kagome's the reason why we need the flower. She was poisoned two days ago so we have to…" Miroku was cut off.

"Poisoned?!" Kouga exclaimed. He grabbed Inuyasha's haori by the neck. "What the hell have you done to my Kagome?"

Ayame marched over to Kouga and whacked him hard on the head. "She's not yours, remember? I am." He released Inuyasha and sank to the ground KO-ed. "Don't mind him. Now you said Kagome was poisoned? How?"

"Naraku of course."

"Naraku?"

"That bastard! First he kills my kin and now tries to kill my Kagome! He's gonna p-!"

Ayame punched him in the head again, except this time harder. "And this time, STAY DOWN!"

"You know, for a split second there, I thought I just saw Kagome sitting Inuyasha," Miroku said taken back a little by Ayame's actions.

"Yeah, tell me about it. They act just like them. Ayame's almost as scary as Kagome," Sango agreed.

"So you say Naraku did it? Then maybe we can help you. The northern tribes might not let y`all pass so you'll need us to get to the volcanoes. Okay if we tag along too?"

"Hmph! Why should I need help from a mangy wolf like that?"

"Watch your mouth mutt! And who said we were helping you? If anything, it's for Kagome. If you couldn't protect Kagome, then what use is it for you to go it alone and end up not making it in time? So stuff your damn fat ego and pride back up your ass and let us help you."

Everybody was surprised by Kouga's words. "Kouga…" Ayame said looking at him sweetly.

"What the hell is everyone looking at me for? We're wasting time so let's go already!" Everybody nodded. Once Miroku and Sango mounted Kirara again, everyone headed towards the mountains once again with even more determination.

--------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------

"Naraku, it seems that Inuyasha is looking for the flower and has now allied with Kouga, prince of the wolven tribes of the Northern mountains." Kanna held up her mirror revealing Inuyasha and the gang with Kouga, Ayame, and a few of the wolves.

"I see. They know about the herbs in the leaves. Kanna, where is your conniving sister?"

"I am right here. So, you've weakened Naraku. I presume your time of the month is near, is it not?" Kagura said smartly.

Naraku glared at her. "Remember, Kagura. I hold your life in my hand. I would watch what I say if I were you." Kagura's true heart appeared in his hand, and she gave him a disgusted look but said nothing. He smiled, and the heart disappeared. "Now, Inuyasha is nearing the flower of healing. If he reaches it, send Gaijin once they have left the mountains. And Kagura, do not fail me or there'll be a slim chance of you existing in this world any longer."

Kagura held the fear in her eyes as she looked at Naraku's icy ones but kept her expression far from it. "Yes, Naraku. I will not fail. Come, Kanna, Gaijin." She left as well as a dark figure that stood in the room silent.

Kanna was to follow also when Naraku delayed her for a short moment. "Kanna, watch your sister as she is to ought not to be fully trusted."

"Yes, Master Naraku." Then Kanna too left the room.

Kagura stood outside Naraku's castle, which was concealed in the sky. "Damn him! I can't escape him, no matter what I do. Naraku holds too much power. If only I could find a way to defeat him, I could be free." Gaijin didn't do anything in return to her anger. Even though they were outside, nothing showed of his true physical appearance but that was of a tall structure since he wore a worn out cloak to conceal himself.

"Please, Sister, do not test Naraku's patience, for it grows thin. He knows of your deception." Kanna was standing at the top of the steps.

"What would you know of it?"

"He has told me to keep watch of you for his trust in you is very little. Do not take him likely."

"Surely you wouldn't rat out your own sister, would you?"

"`Tis Naraku's orders. I must follow them. He has the power to make us and the power to return us to where we were originally created. We must obey him and do as he wishes us to do. If not, we will no longer exist."

"I knew you wouldn't understand. I am the wind. I deserve to be free, not to be on a leash to do what my master says. I'd rather die than to return to his body. I will be free, free as the wind for I am the wind itself." Kagura pulled out one of her feathers and threw it up. The small feather enlarged, and she jumped on it and flew away.

"Beware, Sister, or you will not live with those words." Gaijin stayed silent as he watched the two sisters.

Sorry guys, I know this is kinda short compared to the last two sisters, but I'm having a family crisis, so bear with me.

Someone asked how SG was the sequel to LM when it seems like Inuyasha and Kagome are just now getting into a relationship. They're not just now and have been in a relationship for about half a year. They just show it too much around the others. You'll see the link between the two stories within the next few chapters.

Gotta go for the moment but I shall be back next week to post the results since I won't be home for a while. Sayounara.

Final words:

Kouga: Hey, dog-shit, how the hell did you get Kagome poisoned? Did you like piss in her food or something?

Inuyasha: Hey, mangy wolf, how did you get to be so dumb to have me wanna push Tetsusaiga up your ass and still be deaf to hear that I said NARAKU poisoned Kagome?

Ayame: Guys, could we stop fighting for about a week or until we get the flower to Kagome? We're slowing down thanks to you two.

Kouga: Blame the mutt. He's the one that's slower than a slug, both physically and mentally.

Inuyasha: And Kouga's the one that always eats dirt whenever a baby crawls.

Kouga: And Inuyasha never fails to come up with the dumbest lines in the history of dumbass.

Sango: When will they ever learn to get along?

Miroku: I'd say when hell freezes over.

Ayame: Or at least when we brainwash them to.

Sango: Know any good spells that might work, houshi-sama?

Miroku: Not off hand, but maybe Mushin could help, if he'd stop drinking so much.

IY: Piece of shit!

Kouga: Dog-turd!

IY: Mangy wolf!

Kouga: Mutt-face!

IY: Flea-bitten hairball!

Kouga: Halfling cur!

Ayame: It's gonna be a long week.

Sango: Tell me about.
