talking about Naraku, aren't we?" Asked Miroku.
"He fled!" Said a female voice that was all too familiar to everyone. Inuyasha immediately pulled out his Tessaiga when Kagura emerged from behind a wall. Her cloak was still smeared with blood, but the wound was almost healed. But Kagura still looked a bit weakened. "I don't like that you of all people have to see me like that, but Naraku knew you would come here!", She said with an angry expression on her face. "What do you want?" Asked Miroku. "I'm supposed to bring you to him. He's suggesting a truce!" Said Kagura. "Why should we believe you?" Asked Sango, still holding her hand on the boomerang. "Naraku realizes that he has no chance against these opponents alone. That is why he proposes a temporary truce!"said Kagura." That doesn't sound like Naraku at all! "Inuyasha said with a smile." Extreme times require extreme solutions. He may also be able to answer some of your questions! "said Kagura. The five were amazed. Did Naraku know anything about these demons? And if so, what?"
After a while they were on their way to Naraku's new hiding place with Kagura. Inuyasha and Kagome flew with them on their pen, while Sango, Miroku and Shippo flew after Kiara. Kagome kept looking down. She would have felt much safer on Kiara. "Do you have the jewel?" Inuyasha asked. Kagura smiled. "What do you think Naraku is? Of course he still has it!", She said. After about 2 hours of flight, Kagura went down in front of a cave. Kiara too. "In here!" Said Kagura and went first.
The cave was pretty dark. Only a glowing ball Kagura held illuminated the darkness. "How did these guys find you? Not even we succeeded!"Inuyasha said." You could smell the jewel. Not even a spell can cover it up! "said Kagura." The smell? "Inuyasha asked. It had never occurred to him that the jewel had a special smell.
They went pretty deep into the rock. "Who tells you that they won't find you here too?" Asked Kagome. "Do you see this moss?", Kagura asked, lighting up some green spots on the wall. "It gives off a special smell that should make it impossible for you to smell the jewel here!" Said Kagura and walked on. After a few minutes they finally arrived in a small room. It was not very big and was only lit by four torches on the walls. At the far end of the room there was a carpet on which Naraku was sitting and who seemed to be meditating. "Naraku!" Inuyasha yelled and drew his sword. Then he stormed towards Naraku. "Inuyasha. Make way!", Kagome yelled and Inuyasha went down. Naraku smiled."Very effective!" He said, looking at Kagome.
"Why did you do that?" Inuyasha asked painfully. "Now is not the time! We probably have bigger problems!" Said Kagome. "Wise words for a young girl. But you are not the rebirth of Kikyo for nothing!", Naraku said and got up. "As you have correctly noticed, I was beaten. Should be happy, but it doesn't! Because you know that these new demons that have appeared are much stronger. But believe me. They are nothing to compare to yours Leader! ", Naraku explained. "Your leader? Who is that?" Asked Miroku.
Naraku looked serious. "It's the demon Izanaga!" Said Naraku. Miroku suddenly started. Everyone looked at him questioningly. "Do you know what you're saying?" Asked Miroku. "I've heard of him before. But I thought it was just a myth!" Said Miroku. "I can see that you've heard of him before!" Said Naraku and went back to his carpet."Izanaga is an ancient demon. It is said that he ruled the world ages ago. At a time when the land was created and everything was wrapped in fire. He ruled a vast land for many millennia. Until about 5000 years ago. At that time some priests got together. They wanted to kill Izanaga with their magical powers, but they failed. All but one were killed. This one, however, fled and trained his powers over a number of years until he found a way, Izanaga He opened a portal into a distant dimension. When he fought Izanaga again, he succeeded in sucking the demon into this dimension and closing the portal again. From then on there was peace in the world until the first demons again appeared. But Izanaga is probably striving for the world again! ", explained Naraku.
"It's a nice story. But how do you know these guys from this Izanaga are?" Asked Kagome. Naraku glared at Kagome."The spiral on her forehead. That is the sign of Izanaga's! No doubt!", He said. "But where do you come from if this Izanaga was banished 5000 years ago?" Asked Sango. "I don't know. There must have been a special sign. Something that connected its dimension to ours!" Said Naraku. "Like a constellation in the form of a spiral?" Asked Miroku. "Exactly!" Said Naraku. "That could have given him the strength to open a gate into our world!" He added. "Great! The other night I saw such a constellation of stars!" Said Miroku.
Inuyasha spoke now too. "Does that mean these guys are like descendants of this Izanaga?" He asked. "I suppose yes!" Said Naraku. Inuyasha smiled. "Then we'll kick this Izanaga in the ass," he said belligerently. "I guess it won't work yet!" Said Miroku. "Why?" Inuyasha asked. "Because Izanaga is most likely not here yet.Otherwise Japan would look different. We would also be able to feel it. Such an aura cannot be overlooked! "said Miroku.
Inuyasha looked a little disappointed. "I agree with him. Izanaga is probably still trapped in the other dimension. But his descendants are here and I guess they are looking for the jewel to reopen the portal so that he can come into our dimension!" . "Then we should get rid of these descendants!" Said Sango. "That's right. Our only option we have is to destroy them. This is the only way we can prevent Izanaga from being freed!" Said Naraku. "But it's not going to be that easy, is it?" Asked Kagome. Naraku smiled. "Unfortunately not. The warriors are very strong. Neither you nor I would have a chance to defeat them. But together we might make it!" Said Naraku and sat down again. "Nonsense. With Tessaiga I can do all of them in one fell swoop." Inuyasha said.Suddenly steps came closer and the next moment two figures came into the small cave. One was Kana, the other Sesshoma. When he saw Inuyasha, his eyes narrowed to angry slits and he put his hand on Tokujin's grip. Inuyasha also wanted to move Tessaiga. "Wait!" Said Naraku, drawing their attention to himself. "The situation requires that we all work together. I had your brother called to help us!" Says Naraku. "Me? Why should I work with him or with you?" Asked Sesshoma. "He rushed forward and held his sword to Naraku's neck." Now what should stop me from just chopping off your head? ", Sesshoma asked." A much greater danger than I am. Surely you have already felt it! "Said Naraku. Sesshoma growled at him, but backed away again and put the sword away." All right! But when it's over, we're enemies again!"said Sesshoma." Good. Then I want to explain the plan to you now! "said Naraku.
It was night and the sky closed with clouds that obscured the stars. The five warriors of Izanaga ran through the forest, always after Fari, who had taken up the trail of the jewel again. "Hopefully it will be something this time!" Said Bakor. Out of the forest they came into a small canyon that was closed on three sides further back. A small figure crouched at the end of the canyon. It was Naraku who had the splinter of the jewel in his hands. "Found it!" Said Fari, purring. Bakor smiled. "Hey, you! Get that splinter out or we'll make short work of it!" He yelled. But Naraku only smiled slightly. "Do you really think that you can get hold of the splinter that easily?" He asked.
The five warriors were startled when the others appeared on the upper walls of the canyon. Inuyasha and Sesshoma drew their swords while Sango and Miroku swung on Kiara and soared into the air.Kagome drew her bow and aimed at the five and Kagura appeared in the air as well. The five looked up. "Not bad. An ambush!" Said Bakor and let his morning star fall to the ground. "But that won't do you any good either!" He added. "Fari! You take care of the two on the flying demon. Silao! You take over the tall white-haired man. He is extremely strong!", Said Bakor. "But I wanted the one in the red robe!" Said Silao. "Quiet! You do what I tell you. The other is mine!", Bakor said with a smile. "The rest of you could split the rest between yourselves!" Said Bakor, jumping up to Inuyasha. He swung his morning star and threw it at Inuyasha, who jumped up and struck with his sword. Silao looked at Sesshoma, who looked at him impassively. "Come here then!" Shouted Silao.
Sesshoma jumped down and approached Silao. He swung his scythe and struck, but Sesshoma simply fended off the blow with Tokujin and then struck himself.There was an explosion that caught Silao. But he came out unharmed and rammed his scythe into the ground. The earth tore open and Sesshoma jumped onto a ledge as he watched a piece of earth tear open and fall. "Not bad!" Said Sesshoma.
Fari jumped up to Sango and Miroku, who were still on Kiara. Both were surprised that the opponent could jump so high. With her sharp claws she caught Kiara's stomach, who now screamed and fell. Miroku and Sango just managed to jump off, but Kiara fell hard to the ground. "Kiara!" Shouted Sango and ran over to her. Miroku got up again and stood in the way of Fari, who licked her teeth with relish. "I'll eat you up!", She said and went towards Miroku. But he fended off her claws with his staff and shrank back a little. "If I insert my wind hole here, I might suck in the others too. I can't risk that," he thought.
Lugaro walked up to Naraku, next to whom Kagura was now going down."Let me do it!", She said and stood in front of Naraku. Lugaro drew his huge ax and dropped its blade to the ground. "Get the splinters out!" He said in a deeper voice that was more like a Neanderthal man. "You don't have a lot of brains, do you?" Asked Kagura. But Lugaro picked up the ax again
