InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Sesshoumaru and Shina ❯ Finding The Cave ( Chapter 1 )

Chapter 1: Finding the cave.
Eons later...
"Inuyasha, the shard is in its foreleg." Yelled Kagome as she took out another arrow and prepared to shoot the demon.
"Keh, Iron Reaver Soul Stealer" replied Inuyasha as he lashed out at a demon chasing Shippo.
"Thanks, Inuyasha-chan" Shippo said before he transformed in to a wolf and rushed to Kagome's side to protect her.
Shippo reach Kagome just as the demon was destroyed and Kagome picked up the jewel shard, purifying it with a touch.
"Kagome…Why were the demons guarding the entrance to that cave?" Asked a slightly confused Miroku.
"I do not know why Hoshi-sama…but it can not be for a good reason!" replied Kagome. "Inuyasha, Sango, do you have an idea of why the Demons would be guarding this cave?"
"Keh! Why would I care?" declared Inuyasha.
"I think I know a reason, Kagome-chan." Answered Sango calmly.
Everyone turned and looked at Sango.
"It has some thing to do with the history of the Shikon No Tama. It is said that Morridiko had an apprentice who vanished the day of the last battle." Sango began. "Rumor has it that the young girl was placed under a spell so that if Morridiko lost the battle than at least there would be someone to combat the evil that survived."
"But she would have died of old age if that where true…Wouldn't she?" gasped Miroku.
"No, because Morridiko was a great warrior and an even greater Miko. It is said that the girl is guarded by a thousand demons, for if she were ever awakened that the Shikon No Tama's days would be numbered. For it is said that she has the power to purify and release the souls within the Shikon No Tama." Replied Sango.
Inuyasha's ears purk forward, "You mean that if we wake her up than the Sikon No Tama would disappear?"
"No, Inuyasha it's not that simple. She is said to be more powerful that Naraku, and your brother combined." Sango sighs. "It is said that She would search the world over, killing all that where in possession of the Shikon No Tama."
Shippo cowers against Kagome, and asks fearfully, "Would she kill all Demons while searching for the shards? Even Me?"
"No, Shippo. The reason she would kill all who touched the Shikon No Tama, is because Morridiko is said to have been her only family after Demons attacked and wiped out her people." Sango calmly explained.
"Her People?" asked Kagome.
Sango looked up at the sky and said, "It is said that she is neither Human nor Demon. That she is both and yet different." Sango got up and held a hand out to Kagome. "Come we must awaken her and give her our shards, because if we don't and Naraku finds her and awakens her first than we will die."
"But won't she kill us as well?" asked Kagome as she shuffles over closer to Inuyasha.
"She would not kill the ones that woke her to these troubling times…and gave her an idea of where the other shards are…Naraku!" Replied Sango with a grin. "…I should have thought of this sooner."
Kagome stood and smiled at Sango and said, "Okay, let's do it, lets get this nightmare over with."
Miroku, Shippo and Inuyasha got up and they all walked into the mouth of the cave.
