Misfortune Followed Us Home ch.18
A loud squawk rent the peaceful scene. Five heads turned in the direction of the previously unconscious kappa. Jaken lay grasping his head as he rolled around on the ground shrieking indignantly. Behind Jaken stood Sesshoumaru, Nintoujou in hand. He walked by passing the writhing kappa to stop in front of Rin. He regarded the girl for a few seconds before giving a barely perceptible nod and passing the two headed staff to her. She smiled brightly and ran to help Jaken. He stopped ahead of the group for a brief second. “Come,” he said and began walking down the path. Seconds passed as the tachi looked at each other, it dawned on them that they were being left behind and they scrambled, gathering their belongings they ran down the path to catch up to the retreating Inu.
Rin frantically tried to get Jaken to rise and follow but he only kicked his feet in the air before passing out again.
“Ah-Un, help me,” Rin called. In answer the two headed dragon picked Jaken up by the collar of his robes, grimacing at the smell, while Rin climbed on their back, strapping the Nintoujou to the saddle bags. The dragon flew a short way easily catching up to the tachi which had resumed some semblance of order after their mad dash. “Kagome-sama,” Rin called from her perch. “Inuyasha-san hasn’t returned yet, is it okay to just leave him behind?”
“Worry not Rin-chan,” Kagome responded. “Inuyasha can take care of himself, besides, Inuyasha doesn’t like staying long in villages. He mostly likely left a while ago and is waiting for us ahead by the side of the road.” True to her word they came upon the hanyou a half hour later dozing against the side of a tree with his sword in his lap. Miroku tossed one of the extra rain hats at his head and he jumped, startling awake.
“Oi! What the hell monk?” Miroku in response, rapped him on the head with his staff.
“Language Inuyasha,” he admonished. “I don’t believe neither Sesshoumaru-sama nor Kagome-sama approve of such language in front of the children.”
“Keh, I’m not worried about that wench. I definitely don’t care about what that uppity bastard wants,” Inuyasha bragged.
“Inuyasha,” Kagome warned.
His ears drooped despite his previous words. He crossed his arms and walked ahead nose in the air.   “Keh, what took you guys so long anyway?”

An hour passed before the first drops of rain began to fall. It began as a soft mist-like drizzle. Everyone had donned their rains hats except for Sesshoumaru who, when offered one, said, “This Sesshoumaru has no need for such a thing.” The rest of the tachi shrugged the comment off but Kagome was baffled for a short while on how the Inu stayed dry. After a few moments of observation, Kagome began to see little, barely noticeable, puffs of steam rise from around Sesshoumaru. As she watched more, she saw a slight wavy distortion just above his clothes. It resembled the distortion one saw on the road in the depths of summer. She concluded that Sesshoumaru was using his youki to evaporate the water before it touched him. It looked as though only a thin layer was required and she wondered if it was possible to replicate with reiki. She focused on the coiling mass of reiki inside of her, grasping it she called upon her power until it just barely covered the skin of her arm. Her skin glowed with the evidence of her power brushing and warming her skin. She could only hold it for a few seconds before the power slipped away. The lack of that low warmth was disappointing but now she had a goal. She set about once again gathering her power.

Four hours later Kagome had finally mastered covering her left forearm with her power. Something had occurred to her a couple hours past. Every time she drew her power into her skin she glowed. She wondered if there was a way to use the technique without showing every being she was using her reiki. An hour later she decided that maybe it would be more effective to try imbuing her reiki into her clothes instead. This she had more progress with and so an hour passed with her trying to lengthen the area affected. She looked up as she dropped her arm to her side. The sun was just beginning to set in the distance and their pace was slowing down as Sesshoumaru looked for a dry place to camp. The rain had picked up slightly in the last half hour and now a low wind began passing through the trees. Kagome faltered in her steps, something felt odd about that wind. As they continued the rain got heavier and heavier until each drop stung against her skin. A gust blew down, the cold slicing into her flesh through her soaked clothes like little knives. The rest of the tachi was in a similar state of distress and even Sesshoumaru’s pristine white robes had translucent patches. Kagome held her arm up to shield her face from the biting wind as it rushed through the tress.
“Where did this come from,” Kagome shouted out into the storm but she received no reply.
A low wail began as the wind forced itself past its obstacles. From underneath this ghastly wail came the sound of feminine laughter. A flash of white appeared against the darkened sky. The object floated down unaffected by the blasting gale surrounding them.
“Kagura,” she heard Inuyasha exclaim along with a string of expletives.
She focused her sight on Kagura’s feather as it descended. The kaze stepped lightly off her feather and behind her rose another figure. A woman stepped out from behind her. Her hair was a stormy gray and her eyes were ocean blue. Her skin tinted a light blue was painted with twisted lines of navy blue. She wore a gauzy white robe, her flesh clearly visible underneath, and in her hand she held a black umbrella. It was from her black painted lips that the laughter originated. She smiled wickedly called out to the travelers in her strange lilting voice.
“Poor mortals,” her grin widened as she held her arms apart and the rain came down even harder.
Her vision distorted by the rain, Kagome tried to make her way closer to the tachi. She could see Sesshoumaru’s hair whipping wildly and she made her ways towards him. Sesshoumaru had taken a defensive stance as he glared at the strange woman.
“Ame, ame, ame,” she sung out as she giggled madly and twirled in circles. “Isn’t it wonderful, my ame?”
“You crazy bitch,” Kagome heard Inuyasha yelled from behind her. She could see the flash of light out of the corner of her eye as Tetsusaiga transformed.
“Ah, ah, ah, hanyou,” she admonished as she danced her way to Kagura. She wrapped her arms around the kaze’s waist, “You’ll take care of them for me won’t you my sweet.” Kagura looked annoyed as the woman nuzzled her face into her back. She shuddered as the woman’s hands rose to places they shouldn’t be.
Kagome knew she should be more defensive, but she couldn’t help but to watch as the woman molested Kagura.
“Mizuki,” Kagura snapped.
“Kagura-koi, don’t be so mean,” Mizuki whined as Kagura bared her fangs at her.
“Enough of this,” Inuyasha yelled as he began to charge in their direction.
Kagura whipped around bringing her fan down as she shouted, “Fujin no mai!” Blades of wind whipped around and flew at Inuyasha. He narrowly dodged one aimed at his face and it sliced his cheek as he raised Tetsusaiga to block the other blows. She retreated to her feather pulling Mizuki after her and rose up into the sky. “Ryuja no mai,” rang out into the sky and several tornadoes dropped out of the sky in front of Inuyasha.
Kagome felt a sense of weightlessness as she was lifted by the swirling wind. She began to panic as she realized she was being sucked into a tornado. Her vision twisted and blurred as she was swept around in the funnel of wind. She saw blurs of red past the wall of wind and then a glimpse of fire that seemed to come towards her before being swept away in a different direction. Her mind numbed as her body began to feel heavy and black spots swam in her eyes. The last thing she saw was a flash of white before she succumbed to the darkness.
