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

Last time on Sesshomaru & the Gates of Tolrona:

“Move out of the way Sesshomaru,” I shout. They both turn to me and saw how I glowed with the power of the jewel and the key. Sesshomaru knew when not to disagree.

“TANOSHI NO TSUBASA,” I shout and the blast destroyed the dragon just as it killed the snake demon earlier. The light stopped glowing around me and I dropped to knees from my use of strength.

“Impressive work Miko,” Sesshomaru murmured before I lost consciousness. The last thing I thought was that Inuyasha would think me more useful now.

This time on Sesshomaru & the Gates of Tolrona:

Chapter 12

The Missing Hoshi Jewel

******Kagome’s POV******

I woke up to Rin putting a wet cloth on my head. My head was resting against a tree trunk.

“Kagome is awake,” Rin says, looking down at me with caring eyes. I slowly start to sit up. “Rin was worried that you wouldn’t wake up.”

“Thanks for caring for me, Rin,” I say, smiling at her. “How long was I out for?”

“Long enough wench,” Jaken growled out impatiently.

“I didn’t ask you, you toad,” I shout, glaring at him.

Sesshomaru was sitting against the trunk of a tree and had his eyes closed. He then says,” You finally are awake, Miko. You needed not to aid This Sesshomaru.”

I roll my eyes at him. “I decided to help. You act like just because I’m human I can’t defend myself.”

“That is an interesting statement, considering that my brother is constantly protecting you with his life, woman.” I blush at the realization and find that I can’t say anything more. I see him smirk, his eyes still closed.

“Is Kagome hungry,” Rin asks.

I smile and nod,” A little bit.” She then hands me some fish and I say,” Thanks for caring after me.” She smiles back.

“This affection sickens me,” Jaken mumbles. I just glare at him. Sesshomaru chooses to ignore the conversation as well.

When we go to bed, Sesshomaru says,“ Tomorrow, we will be searching for the Hoshi-no-Tama.”

“What is that,” I question.

“You shall see Miko.” I sigh and go to sleep.

******No one’s POV******

“I wonder why sister left me behind,” Kohaku mutters out loud. Sango insisted that he stayed back in the village with Kaede.

“Sango probably didn’t ye to get hurt, child,” Kaede said, sensing his distress.

“I can fight though! I at least want to make up for all the pain I caused everybody.”

“I know child. But you have to understand that wanted ye to get over your ordeal with Naraku.”

He was about to say something else, when a villager busted through the elder miko’s door, shouting urgently,” Lady Kaede! This was addressed to Lady Kagome from a youkai.” He handed her a long, rolled up scroll.

“Thank ye, Juro. Ye can go now. I shall handle the matter,” Kaede said. He nodded and walked out of her hut. Kohaku just stared in confusion as Kaede read the scroll.

“This does not bide well,” she murmurs after finishing the letter.

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

It was nighttime, but the Inu-Tachi and the wolf tribe were still looking for Kagome and Sesshomaru. They were searching since morning as promised, because the night of the New Moon being over.

They finally stopped when Inuyasha growled,” Sesshomaru was here.”

“Kagome was here too, but for some reason her scent was different,” Koga said worried.

“What do you mean Koga,” Sango asks.

“He means that for some reason Kagome smelled more powerful,” Ayame explained.

“It could possibly be from the Key of Tsubasa,” Miroku thought out loud. They all stood in silence trying to figure out what was going on.

Shippo then ran into Sango’s arms after investigating the area, searching for Kagome. “She’s not here, but I did find these strange marks and the remains of a dragon demon,” he says in huff.

“Lead us to it Shippo,” Inuyasha commands. They follow after him and they see the land scorched with the remains of Kagome’s attack.

“The power she had then, had to have come from the Key of Tsubasa,” Miroku murmured.

“Impossible! Kagome already used the Tanoshi no Tsubasa? That means that they are already going after the Hoshi-no-Tama,” Myoga exclaimed on Inuyasha shoulder.

“What the hell are you talking about flea,” Inuyasha demands. He picked him up between his fingers, threatening to squish him.

“L…lord Inuyasha the Tanoshi no Tsubasa is the attack from the Key of Tsubasa. Since Kagome is the one who will lead Sesshomaru to the Gates of Tolrona, she is the only one who can master the attack. The Hoshi Jewel is the missing jewel that was previously on the Key. It will make the Key stronger. Without it, they cannot open the Gates of Tolrona,” the old flea explains.

“I hope Kagome is alright,” Shippo says. The rest of them nod in agreement.

“Myoga, do you know where they are headed,” Miroku asks.

“They are probably headed toward the Shrine of the Hoshi,” answers Myoga.

Inuyasha nods and starts running at full speed. “We better get moving then,” he shouted behind him. Koga took the hint and started running alongside him.

Ayame followed soon after with the rest of the Inu-Tachi on Kirara. Ginta and Hakkaku, as well as the rest of the wolves, ran last behind them as usual, shouting,” Wait for us, Koga!”

******Kagome’s POV******

I awoke in the morning and soon after, we left. Me, Rin, and Jaken were on Au-Un, following behind Sesshomaru.

After awhile, we land in an abandoned field, or what seems like one. In the middle of the field, there stood a small old looking shrine.

“Why are we here, Lord Sesshomaru,” I ask.

“That is the shrine where the Hoshi-no-Tama resides,” Sesshomaru explains.

“I sense a strong demonic aura,” I murmur. Sesshomaru already had his hand on the hilt of Tokijin, waiting.

“Jaken, take Rin and hide,” the taiyoukai says calmly. Jaken nods and takes Rin off with Au-Un. The ground starts to tremble under our feel and I take out the Key of Tsubasa since my only means of self-defense. I really need to get more bow and arrows.

Suddenly, a giant ogre demon stalks in front of the shrine. The demon says,” I am the protector of this shrine. I see that you must be the miko.” The demon directs that to me and I nod back. He continues,” You shall have to defeat me to prove that you are worthy enough for the Hoshi-no-Tama.”

The ogre slams his fists into the ground and being the klutz I usually am, I fly, only to hit the ground hardly. I groan lightly in pain then slowly get back up to see that Sesshomaru was not fighting.

“Aren’t you going to help out a little,” I demand towards him.

“The demon says that you’re to be the only one fighting him. The plan would not be carried out if I interfered in places I should not be involved in,” he states back at me.

I glared back at him. “Wouldn’t it be a change of plans if I died?!”

“This Sesshomaru has the Tensaiga, does he not? It is beneath me to protect a mortal like my half-breed brother would.” I growl at him in anger. If I live through this, remind me to kick his ass later! Now I’m starting understand why Inuyasha doesn’t like him that much…

I turn my attention back to the ogre who was about to unleash another earthquake. I held out the key and shouted,” TANOSHI NO TSUBASA!” The familiar light formed a sphere at the end of the blade and took a direct hit into the unsuspecting ogre.

“You won’t be so lucky next time,” he shouts, throwing lightening spears in my direction! I hold the Key in front of me and the weapon sucks up all the power. The blade and the Shikon Jewel start to glow bright.

The demon’s eyes grew wider in horror. “You truly are the true wielder of the Key of Tsubasa,” he says. I shout the attack again, but instead of it sending just a ball of light, it sends out the lightning bolts also. It hits him contact and he bursts into dust.

“Ha! I defeated that demon on my own,” I shout in triumph. I start to run to the shrine and walk inside. In the middle of the clearing, there stood a gold box. The closer I got to the box, the more the Key of Tsubasa glowed. I open the box to find a star-shaped silver crystal. The crystal then lifted up on its own and hovered over a particular indent on the Key.

I grab a hold of the Hoshi Jewel and feel the pulsing of energy flow through me. I then pushed it into the indentation. The whole Key started to glow red!

It started to pulsate in my hand and then hear a certain Inu-youkai mutter,” This is more power than I ever felt from Tetsusaiga.”

“Yeah,” I agree.

“We shall leave. There is no use in staying any longer,” Sesshomaru says. I follow him out and we start to fly off. Is it just me, but did Jaken and Au-Un look sick?

******No one’s POV******

A few hours after Sesshomaru’s group left, the others arrived at the hut. As soon as they stopped, Kirara mewed from illness and turned back into her small form. Shippo, Myoga, Ginta, and Hakkaku also looked sick.

“Kirara? Are you ok Shippo ,” Sango asked in concern..

“Yea, I think so,” Shippo said with swirly eyes before falling over.

“It must be from Kagome‘s powers,” Sango mutters, picking up Kirara and Shippo.

“Indeed. It seems that we were too late. This must be the aftereffects of a blast from the Key of Tsubasa with the Hoshi-no-Tama in it,” Myoga explains in a weak state on Inuyasha‘s shoulder.

“This Key must to have to be strong to have this powerful of a pure energy leftover,” Miroku said in awe. The flea nods his head.

“Myoga, do you know where they are headed next,” Inuyasha asks.

“They are probably headed toward the Nishi Mountains, where Lord Sesshomaru will submerge the Key of Tsubasa in the Lake of Mitsu.”

“Lets go then. I don’t know how much more of this pure energy I can take,” Koga growled. He started to run off with Ayame in his arms. Inuyasha and the rest followed behind. ‘Stay safe Kagome,’ Inuyasha thought as he ran alongside the wolf.
