...xXx...
A hundred years of waiting was finally over. As soon as Hosenki finished the pearl, he immediately ordered Takeshi to watch over the citadel before leaving with Jaken. He had a feeling that he would need the staff of two heads. Jaken had tried to get some answers as to where they were heading, but once he told him to remain silent, the kappa demon knew better than to open his beak.
Many things had happened during the hundred years without her. After Shippō came to live with him for two moons, he coincidentally met his half-brother and his group at a human village near his land. Due to Naraku’s defeat at their hands, or her hands to be precise, the group had made a name and often offered help to dispose mindless demons. Additionally, they had been spreading teaching that not all demons were bad as they were just like humans; there were bad and good ones. Honestly, they didn’t even realise that this teaching was based on what Kagome taught them.
The group had asked him about Shippō, and since he didn’t want to lie, he told them that the kit had decided to remain with him. They were not exactly happy about it, but neither disagreed that a demon kit like him would need another demon to teach him the way of a demon, something they couldn’t teach. And just like that, they kindly asked him to take care of their little friend. He neither agreed nor disagreed before leaving them alone. He didn’t answer to anyone, much less to his own half-brother. And that was the last time he met them.
What they didn’t know was Shippō had promised himself to his ward Rin. For a decade, he had watched Shippō grew into a great, young warrior. Just right after Rin came of age, Shippō and Rin did soul-bonding, tying his life force with Rin. The bonding was rarely done within demons because if one died, the other would follow soon after. It was a dangerous act as someone could take advantage of it by killing the weaker counterpart. Nevertheless, he and Shippō were willing to take the risk, and because of the bond, Rin was still around until now, and he was grateful for that even though he would not say it out loud.
Finally reaching her magnolia tree, he waited.
“Give us the lapis lazuli, Lord Sesshōmaru of the West.”
As soon as he presented the lapis lazuli, he watched with disinterested eyes as it was lifted away and embedded itself to the magnolia tree.
“We see you have brought the staff. You know what you have to do.”
Without further ado, he watched Jaken hit the pearl with his staff. The pearl immediately glowed brighter, and when the light dimmed, his surroundings changed. He could see nothing but black. Using the Shikon’s aura as a guide, he walked on until he came across the same magnolia tree. Instead of the Shikon’s voices, he felt Tenseiga pulse at his hip. Not one to question the sword’s calling, he unsheathed the sword and swung it across the bark once. And then, they were back to the living world once more, but what greeted their eyes in place of the magnolia tree was a huge chuck of white crystals and within the biggest crystal was where the miko rested.
Yay! Kagome!
