*******************************

Last time on Sesshomaru & the Gates of Tolrona:

He walked out of his hut, but shrank back in horror at the sight of Sesshomaru. The taiyoukai smirks at the old man’s fear.

“Excuse me, but we are looking for the Key of Tsubasa,” I said politely. The old man just looked at us in shock.

“Are you the miko that is supposed to lead this demon to the Gates of Tolrona,” he asked, pointing to Sesshomaru. I nodded.

“Very well, follow me,” he instructed. We started to follow him when he said,” Only the miko and the little girl can come any further. I will not allow any demons around the shrine of the Key of Tsubasa.” Jaken was about to brag about his Staff of Two Heads when Sesshomaru held him back.

“Very well then. Miko, go and fetch the key,” Sesshomaru said. I nodded and started to follow the man. The lord told Rin to stay with him so he could protect her. As we walked through fields, the Shikon-no-Tama around my neck started to glow.

This time on Sesshomaru & the Gates of Tolrona:

Chapter 10

The Key of Tsubasa; The Confrontation of the Two Inu-Youkai

I look down at the glowing jewel in confusion. This “Key of Tsubasa,” as Sesshomaru calls it, must be powerful. The priest turned around and saw why I stopped.

“Is that possibly the Shikon-no-Tama,” he asked. I nodded and he looked in shock. “You really are the miko of the jewel!”

“Of course I am! You think I’d lie about that,” I snap at him in anger.

“I am truly sorry I doubted your ability,” he says bowing. He then turns back around and starts off again. The jewel only glows brighter as we edge closer to the shrine.

We walk for a hour more then suddenly stop in front of a elaborate shrine. There was gold trim on the roof and kanji characters on the gates that said:

Here lies the Key of Tsubasa. The honorary key that helped the legendary miko Midoriko and the famous and powerful Inu-Taisho complete their journey to open the Gates of the tennyo, Tolrona. This is a sacred place where only the Shikon-no-Miko will be allowed to enter. All demons and un-pure humans shall perish if they were to set eyes upon this shrine.

“This is the farthest I can go Miko. The rest is up to you. Many youkai and humans alike will be after the Key of Tsubasa’s power. I trust you will protect the key with your life,” the priest said, turning away and walking off.

I walk into the shrine and let the jewel’s pure energy surround me.

******No one’s POV******

As Kagome was fetching the Key of Tsubasa, the Inu-Tachi and now Koga’s group were searching for her. All the sudden they stopped upon a village and Inuyasha and Koga growl loudly.

“That bastards in this village,” Inuyasha snarled out. Koga was already running at top speed into the village. Inside, there were screams of horror at the sight of another youkai. Inuyasha ran in immediately after the ookami. The others sigh at their rashness, but follow after them anyways.

Sesshomaru was already aware of their presence. ‘Such a pity that my little brother is so rash. If he were able to use his head, he would truly made a worthy adversary of me. The wolf and the rest of Inuyasha’s group are here as well. How interesting…’ He smirked and told Jaken to take Rin and Au-Un out of the area a few minutes before Inuyasha and the rest arrived.

“What a pleasant surprise little brother,” Sesshomaru sneered. Inuyasha just growls with rage.

“Where’s Kagome,” Koga demanded.

“She’s not with me at the moment. She is, however at the Shrine of Tsubasa, fetching the key for me,” the taiyoukai replied.

“What the hell is the Key of Tsubasa,” Inuyasha demanded.

“That, baka, is the thing needed to open the Gates of Tolrona. You really know not much of our father do you?”

“What the hell is Sesshomaru blabbering on about,” he asked Myoga who was hiding in the crook of Inuyasha’s haori.

“Inuyasha-sama, the Key of Tsubasa is part of what is needed to open the Gates of Tolrona. Your father, Inu-Taisho, took the powerful miko, Midoriko to the Gates. She and him were the only ones known to survive the gates’ powers,” Myoga explained.

“Amazing,” Miroku mused. “I have heard of the Key of Tsubasa in my readings. It is said that only those who are truly pure are allowed to be around the barrier of the Shrine that holds the key. Youkai and mean spirited humans are killed at the sight of the shrine. Only the miko of the jewel would be allowed to go in to touch the key itself. Which means that is what Kagome-sama is doing.” Sango nods in understanding while Shippo has swirly eyes from his head thinking too much.

“You know quite a lot monk,” Sesshomaru said.

“Quit stalling and fight Sesshomaru,” Inuyasha shouted, with Tetsusaiga drawn and running towards Sesshomaru.” Of course, Sesshomaru swiftly moved out of the way with his energy whip extending from his claw to swipe at the offending weapon he thought to be rightfully his.

“So rash Inuyasha,” Sesshomaru teased, not breaking a sweat. Koga decided to jump in the fight as well, trying to land a few punches and kicks. He had no shards in his legs, but still was one of the fastest.

“What are you standing around here for?! Go and get Kagome,” Inuyasha shouted at his group after he did another wind scar attack on Sesshomaru.

“RIGHT,” the rest agreed, rushing off on Kirara to find their companion. As they neared their destination, Kirara whined in weakness and landed. Shippo looked ill.

“They must be sick from the barrier of the Shine of the Key of Tsubasa,” Miroku said concerned.

“Its like the barrier at Hakureizan, only more powerful. The person who put the barrier here must be really strong,” Sango mused.

“Indeed. Kirara and Shippo are effected by it and we aren’t even halfway there. I’m afraid we will have to leave them behind of risk them dying.”

“Alright then,” Sango agreed, saying to Kirara and Shippo,” You two stay here. Kirara, watch over Shippo. We’ll be back as soon as we can. Don’t go anywhere near the shrine or you will die from its barrier.” Kirara and Shippo nod and run off into the bushes.

They arrive to the shrine soon after, to find that it glowed with a familiar pink glow of the Shikon Jewel.

“Kagome’s already in there,” Sango exclaimed. “We can’t go in.”

“Then we’ll just have to sit here and wait,” Miroku sighed.

******Normal Kagome’s POV******

Inside the shrine, I felt incredible pure energy flow through me. The jewel must have liked its power because it continued to glow. I looked around for what I thought the Key of Tsubasa would look like. Finally after half an hour of searching, I walk into a large room and find a blue glowing case. The key had tremendous power coming from it.

I reach my hand to touch it and the blue light surrounds my arm. I go to lift the case, but find that its too heavy with gold so I figure to just take the key. I open the lid with both of my hands. Light poured out of it and there lied within it, a scroll and this beautiful golden object. The “key” as they all called it, didn’t really look like a key like I thought it would’ve.

It actually looked a lot like a halberd. It had a pointed end and all down the sides of the sharp object, were shimmering jewels of different colors. There were five jewels and the colors were: green, red, purple, crystal, and gold. The handle of it was surrounded by a blue aura and was encrusted in silver. I lifted the Key up and the aura glowed around my hands again. The jewel almost glowed white from the pure energy going through me by the key’s powers. The Key of Tsubasa was almost as tall as me!

I put a cover over the key and unroll the scroll that came with it. In old Japanese, it read:

Here lies the Key of Tsubasa. It holds vast powers. It will help you in countless situations up until you reach the Gates of Tolrona. This key will open the lock in the Gates. Only you, the Miko of the Shikon Jewel, and the taiyoukai you are leading can wield this weapon, but only you can master its techniques. You are believed to surpass the miko, Midoriko’s powers. Even she could not use this to her fullest potential, but you should be able to. May kami bless you on your journey. Protect this as you would the Shikon-no-Tama - with your life.

I drop the scroll in shock. They have got to be kidding me! Me, stronger than Midoriko?! Kikyo was stronger than me even. I take the scroll and the Key of Tsubasa out of the shrine, only to see Sango and Miroku staring at me wonder.

“Sango, Miroku,” I exclaim. They nod, I drop everything I’m carrying, and I run into their arms. “I’m so happy to see you both!”

“We all missed you greatly, but Inuyasha had it the hardest,” Miroku explained. All of a sudden, my smile faded in a worried face.

“Where’s Inuyasha,” I ask.

“He’s fighting Sesshomaru with Koga,” Sango said.

“I want to go see him,” I shout. They all nod. I pick up the key and rush off with them until we reached a particular bush that was moving.

Out of it jumped Shippo, crying out,” KAGOME! I missed you so much!” I cry happily onto Shippo.

“I missed you all so much too,” I say to him. Sango and Miroku smile. Out of the shadows steps a female wolf demon I knew all too well.

“AYAME,” I shout. She nods and grins at me. She runs up and hugs me. “What are you doing here?” She then regains a serious face.

“I’ll have to tell you later, right now we have to do something about Sesshomaru,” she said sternly. I agree with her and run out with her to see the familiar inu-hanyou that I have grown to love. Sango, Kirara, and Miroku follow behind me after telling Shippo to stay hidden.

Inuyasha turned to me after catching my scent. “KAGOME,” he shouts. I look on in horror as Sesshomaru’s Tokijin sliced into Inuyasha’s side when he was distracted by me.

“INUYASHA,” I shout, running out onto the battlefield.

Sesshomaru says angrily,” Haven’t you learned to never turn your back on your opponent?”

Inuyasha smirks,” What about you?” Out of nowhere, Koga-kun comes up behind Sesshomaru and kicks him out pf the way.

“Hey Kagome,” Koga grins, and before I can get a word out, he jumps back into battle.

“Get out of the way Kagome,” Inuyasha says. I listen to him as they continue to battle Sesshomaru. “WIND SCAR,” Inuyasha shouts, unleashing the attack.

Miroku, Ayame, Sango, and me watch the battle. Sesshomaru dodges many of his brother’s attacks. Sesshomaru then proceeded to use one of Tokijin’s attacks on Koga and Inuyasha.

Inuyasha then proceeded with one of his strongest attacks, shouting, BACKLASH WAVE!” The swirling whirl of light surrounded Sesshomaru’s demonic attack and pushed it back at him.

Sesshomaru barely managed to get away that time. The attack tore his armor off and part of the sleeves on his kimono.

“I will not be beaten by a half-breed,” Sesshomaru shouted with rage. He went in for another attack with Tokijin. I decided it was time to interfere. Sango handed me my archery weaponry and I fired a purifying arrow to get his attention.

“Sesshomaru,” I shout. The arrow threw off the demonic powers of Tokijin, rendering it useless.

He turned his attention away from Inuyasha and stepped toward me. “Miko, you seem stronger.”

“What are you talking about,” I ask.

“It must be from the Key of Tsubasa. So father was right after all,” the taiyoukai thought out loud. Before a blink of an eye, he grabbed me by my waist and started to fly off, the key now in his possession. I heard them all call after me, but it was useless. I was once again Sesshomaru’s captive.
