Chapter 25

“Amaya said that the witch is somewhere in the Western lands in the mountains,” Sesshomaru says. “There are four mountains in the entire Western Lands, it will take some time before we can figure out which on she is hiding in.”

“We could split up and ask the villages around the mountains if they saw a witch or anything suspicious happening as of late,” Miroku says.

“I’ll be able to help,” Kouga says walking into the village.

“Kouga? What happened to you once we left you disappeared,” Sango says.

“I had to go and inform my tribe that Naraku was dead and it was all thanks to the future lady of the western lands,” Kouga says. “How is she?” Kouga asks looking at Lord Sesshomaru.

“Lady Kaede says that Amaya’s condition is not good, however we remain confident that Amaya will be just fine after some rest,” Sesshomaru says.

“I can understand that, being controlled by the jewel shards, having that spell on her, fighting all of us, being stabbed and poisoned and she still defeated Naraku, Lord Sesshomaru you should be very proud of your daughter,” Kouga says.

“I am very proud of her,” Sesshomaru says.

“So where is Inuyasha?”

“He is inside the hut with Amaya.”

“Oh,” Kouga says and then looks over to see Kagura and Kanna. “What the hell are they doing here?”

“Kouga calm down they are with us now,” Sango says and then explains what happened. “So since Kouga is here now, I think we should spilt up into two groups, Kagura and I will go together and Miroku and Kouga you two go together, in the morning we will head out and if you find the mountain where Yura is hiding don’t fight her, come back and inform all of us, Amaya has the privilege of killing her,” Sango says and everyone agrees.

Inside Kaede’s hut Inuyasha uses a cloth to whip sweat from Amaya’s face, he stands up to get fresh water when something in Amaya’s other hand catches his eye, Inuyasha placed the bowl down and walks over to Amaya and knees down on he left side and picks up her left hand. Amaya’s hand is in a fist and it tightens when Inuyasha touches her fingers, “It’s okay Amaya, you can trust me,” Inuyasha whispers and then gently pulls Amaya’s fingers open to reveal the almost whole Shikon jewel. “Amaya how did you? You certainly are full of surprises, my sneaky daughter. You keep holding on to this it may help you recover,” Inuyasha smiles and folds her fingers over the jewel he then picks up the bowl and walks out to get the water. Inuyasha walks outside to see Kouga talking with Miroku and Sango chatting with Kagura, Kanna and the now awake Rin and Shippo also sat talking to each other and to his surprise Sesshomaru and Lady Kaede are talking to each other.

“Papa is Amaya okay?” Rin asks running over.

“She still has a fever but the bleeding has slowed down,” Inuyasha smiles.

“Can we do anything to help?” Shippo asks.

Inuyasha looks down into their pleading eyes, “how about you two go get fresh water for Amaya, take this bowl and fill it up with cold water from the lake okay?” Rin and Shippo’s eyes light up as they take the bowl and run off dragging Kanna with them.

Inuyasha walks over and sits with Sesshomaru, “Inuyasha you shouldn’t stress yourself it’s not good for the pups,” Sesshomaru says as she holds Inuyasha.

“I can’t help it, she is my daughter and there is nothing I can do but try to help her best I can, but I feel helpless,” Inuyasha says.

“Love just being beside her is helping her, she can still sense your presents and just knowing you are there I know she is happy,” Sesshomaru says.

~*****~

Inside Kaede’s hut Amaya lays on the futon sweat running down her face with a pain expression, she clutches the blanket, ‘What’s happening to my body,’ Amaya screams inside her head, ’it’s getting harder to breath and move! Papa! Father! I’m scared!’

‘As you should be’ a voice says.

‘Who are you!’

‘Naraku’s poison has spread all through out your body, there is nothing you can do, muhaha’

‘Who the hell are you and what do you want!’

‘You are hear to kill me so I am going to kill you first, with the help of Naraku’s poison, the jewel has yet to be purified so I can still kill you.’

Suddenly there is a sharp pain and Amaya screams out, Inuyasha hears Amaya scream and runs inside to see what is happening. Once inside he sees Amaya in pain her body convulsing, “AMAYA! Kaede help something is wrong with Amaya!”

Everyone runs inside to see what is happening; Rin Shippo and Kanna get back from the lake in time to see everyone running inside the hut. “What’s happening to Amaya,” Rin cries. Rin looks over at her sister crying out in pain; suddenly Rin sees something shining a purplish pink in Amaya’s hand.

“The poison is causing this, “Kaede says, “for some reason instead of it getting weakening with the healing herbs, it is getting stronger.”

“But how is that possible?” Inuyasha asks.

“Something must be aiding the poison, like throwing gas on a burning hut while everyone is trying to put it out with water, the water may help but the gas will only make the fire stronger,” Kaede says.

“So someone is aiding the poison with what?” Sango asks.

“I’m not sure,” Kaede says.

Rin walks over to Amaya and kneels on her left side, “something purple is glowing in her hand,” Rin says. She picks up Amaya’s hand and opens it to see a dark Shikon jewel, everyone gasps.

“It’s the Shikon jewel, but Naraku is dead how can he taint it?” Kouga asks.

“How did she even get it?” Sesshomaru asks.

“She must have picked it up after she killed Naraku,” Miroku asks.

“Then the jewel wasn’t purified before she took it so the evil that Naraku poisoned the jewel with must not have left,” Sango says.

“But who is making the jewel react?” Shippo asks.

“What about that witch person you all are going to get?” Rin asks.

Everyone looks at each other, “that must be it,” Sesshomaru says.

“I’ll help her like I did before,” Rin says.

“Child, you helped Amaya last time before of the love over powered the jewel, ye miko powers are still new to ye, ye must concentrate if ye can not purify the jewel Amaya will die,” Kaede says.

Rin gasps, “NO! Amaya and I have yet to have a sister talk, she will not die!” Rin placed her hands over the jewel in Amaya’s and closes her eyes to concentrate, “Please Amaya you have to be okay!” Rin says. After a minute or two Rin starts to cry, “it isn’t working,” Rin tries harder “I love you Amaya please you have to be okay everyone of your friends and family are worried you have to wake up and tell us it is okay and that you are going to be okay we all love you, I love you!” suddenly a bright light bursts throughout the room, when the light dies down, everyone opens their eyes to see Rin holding a now almost complete white Shikon Jewel. Amaya’s body went still and her breathing evens out, color began to return to her face, “I did it,” Rin cries.

“Yes you did, Rin, you saved Amaya’s life, twice,” Inuyasha says pulling Rin into a hug. “Thank you.”
Rin smiles a big smile, “What is this?”

“It is called the Shikon jewel,” Inuyasha says. “What are we going to do with it?”

“Maybe Amaya could use it to repair her world,” Sango says, “It’s not a selfish wish to wish for the return of grass, woods, animals and fields.”

“I agree, thy should let Amaya have it, no one here needs the jewel more then Amaya’s world does,” Kaede says.
“Then I guess I need to give back the ones in my legs then,” Kouga says.

“And the one that was in my back is right here,” Kohoku says giving Rin the jewel fragment.

“Kouga you should hold on to the ones in your legs for now until Amaya leaves that way if something happens the jewel still wont be complete,” Miroku says.

“Good idea Miroku,” Kouga says.

“It just might be me, but I think we should go outside if we are going to talk, Amaya needs her rest and you all talking are not helping her,” Kagura says, she turns and walks out.

“Kagura is right, Amaya needs to sleep and we are disturbing her,” Sango says and follows Kagura; everyone nods and follows as well.
