Yuki clenched her shaft after escaping from the temple and the security. She looked down and realized that her sword was no longer in her possession.
"Did I drop it back in the temple?" She questioned and remembered breaking down to the ground terrified of the truth of carrying the child of a demon. The possibility of birth scared her not many humans survive after giving birth.
"Only if they had abortion options in this era." She felt guilty that such a thought came across her mind. It was hard for her to process Yuki felt alone and afraid. She buried her hands in her face with her back against the tree as she sat down.
Suddenly, the jewel pulsed in her neck and she heard Naraka's voice.
"Is there anything I should be aware of?"
A chill went flying down her spine. She had this instinct to fear him and had this bad feeling if she shared her concerns about the pregnancy. For now, she decided to keep it a secret.
She spoke," I broke my sword in battle and need a replacement."
"I shall send Kohaku—"
"I'm just going rest here for a few seconds."
She closed her eyes and felt her source of energy-draining sucking her dry. Feeling completely fatigued and extremely exhausted.

Meanwhile, the others walked and rested in the Forrest for a number of days. In between, they defeated demons and collected more shards.
"It's like we're starting over from the beginning." Kagome opened her hand and looked at the fragments of the sacred jewel.
InuYasha put his sword in the shaft as it quickly transformed to its original size.
"It's right there," Kagome instructed.
Sango reached her hand through the demon's guts then retrieved the jewel shard." Here you go!" She handed it to Kagome.
"There's a village not too far from here," Miroku observed his surrounded and looked at the map for the direction.
"I smell delicious food, Kagome." Shippo sniffed the air and started to drool.
Everyone prepared and began walking following the map coordinates. It took a while, but they appeared at the entrance of the village.
It was strange the guards had a protocol for newcomers and were offered to stay in a cramped hut free of charge.
"Will this be enough for something decent?" Miroku asked and bribe the guards with a large sum of money.
The available hut was a tab bit bigger. The ridiculous prices what shocked them, even more, was when they walked through the villagers there were papers every one of a bounty on someone's head the reward was a lot and the person would be compensated with a fine amount.
"Watch out for this devil woman." A little boy handed the newcomers a flyer.
"Doesn't that resemble your friend Yuki?" Sango asked and looked at the paper in Kagome's hand.
It left everyone baffled.
"This doesn't sound like Yuki; she wouldn't hurt a fly. I'm going to find out what happened." Kagome rushed off to speak with the villagers.
Everyone went their separate ways to find answers when nightfall fell, they met up in the hut.
Surprisingly, the only one with reliable information was the Miroku.
"What did you do? Seduce woman." Sango asked sarcastically.
"It seems like you guys think so little of me." Sweat dropped from Miroku's head. He hated to admit that they were indeed right.
"But why would Yuki want to kill the monk? It doesn't make any sense. What could she possibly gain from it?"
InuYasha spoke," This must be Naraku doing."
To find more answers the group went to the temple but the monk, Haishi wasn't taking any visitors.

Yuki woke up to the sound of the bushes ruffling. It startled her and she hid behind the tree alarmed.
"Naraku sent me, I'm Kohaku." A boy with spiky dark brown hair that was styled into a topknot by a yellow hair tied, brown eyes, and freckles along the brim of his nose. He wears a black skin-tight jumpsuit with light green outlines and yellow armor plates.
She slowly revealed herself and looked at the boy kneeling on the ground with his head lowered.
"Kohaku?... Aren't you Sango's little brother?" Yuki questioned then he lifted his head at her. His eyes were filled with sadness and pain.
"Here's the weapon that's requested." He resented in front of her, a long sword that was nicely crafted and was made from the bones of demons. She hesitated to touch it but when she did a powerful force rejected it. She manages to put it in the pouch and then looked down at the shaft." Why can't I wield it? "She asked herself.
"Follow me, I will lead you to the witch's den," Kohaku said and began walking through the woods, Yuki soon followed behind him.
The witch's den was a cave, and with monitoring the hideout for 38 hours. They only saw one woman leave out and entered the cave with odd-looking items. She and the demon slayer had a plan to sneak into the den and kill the witch.
Yuki quietly checked her surroundings and clenched the handle of her sword. She looked down at her feet and step over the branches carefully. Her face hit the barrier "I didn't expect for that to happen." The electric shock only hurt for a second. She never had problems with barriers before and needed to figure out a way to break them and fast.
"What are you doing here? Are you the person that been slaying my people?"
Yuki was frightened to look behind her and her hands were trembling.
"Princess Yua, who are you talking to?" A minion asked.
Yuki's heart ached and remembered the name Yua from when Myoga provided the information about the current event that Sesshomaru is to be wed to the Princess, Yua of the Tohka clan.
The Saimyosho watched their interaction and then went to report to Naraku. They resemble bees, and like honeybees, they lose their stingers and die then they sting others.
