Chapter 1: Words From The Future
As she was climbing the well she remembered, so she could gather the strength she needed... the fire, the dead bodies of the ones she loved the most, her mother liying on the ground in her own blood... the last time he talked to her before sending her back:
It was late at night, the half moon rise high in the sky... the only one looking at them.
_Bring her back... – he told her, breaking the silence between them – you are the only one who can do something about this. I'm just going to be able to send you. Once there, you will be on your own.
I already told you what to do. – his face was serius like always, but she knew better than that, she knew of the pain of the lost. Because she was feeling the same. If she could fix everything, if she could bring everyone back, especially her... she wouldn't care to risk her own life. And he knew it.
_It's time – he simply said, his voice cold and void of any life. She nodded and went next to the well. Then she turned around to look at him one last time, his deep golden eyes showing her all the determination she needed while he used both Tenseiga and Tetsusaiga. The two swords were shinning in his hands as he stabbed the well, making the power of the swords, and his own terrible power, flow to mix with the well's own aura. The white energy around him, made him look as a god, a nocturnal god judging from the cresent moon is his forehead. Suddenly the flow of energy turned deep blue – NOW JUMP! – she obeyed him and jumped.
After that everything went black and she waked up inside that well...
And now she was trying to climb up.
She looked up at the deep blue sky and sighed. She knew WHAT she had to do, but the HOW was a complete mystery to her...
After a short time she finally was able to get out and took a look around her... it all looked the same... except that here was daytime and there wasn't a column of smoke where the village should be. So... she really went back in time... she wondered how many years back... had she even been born yet?
She looked at the sky again and closed her golden eyes, letting the sun caress her pale skin. She was adjusting the lilac bandana covering her forehead when she heard a child screaming.
It was just a little ahead.
She mumbled a curse and ran to the scream's direction, as fast as she could...
_Damn it! – he said to himself. he had smelled that thing from far, but he wasn't expecting that one of the village's children went there, he had told them to stay away... but no they always had to do what they wanted... and now here he was... running like hell trying to get there in time... and he heard the scream. Was he too late? He didn't smell blood so he hoped that the child still had sometime left... he was almost there. Near the bone-eater's well, he smelled something else. How strange... he couldn't say if it was human or demon. That never happened to him before.
Inuyasha just prepared himself as he continued running. He was almost there...
The child was there crying and screaming while the demon stretched the distance between them, it was just a red ogre, weak compared to her, but for the little boy... Why didn't he try to runaway? Damn it! If she waited until she could use her claws, the boy would die! She drew her katana as she ran.
_Move! – she warned to the boy, who looked at her startled – I said MOVE!
Finally the boy started running away from the demon. That was all she needed. She held firm her katana, while the tip of the blade was barely brushing the ground.
_Silver Fang! – she screamed, making at the same time an ascending move, like if she were cutting the air with her sword. A great wave of silver energy followed this move directly at the demon, who couldn't do anything about it and died as the energy reached him.
The little boy looked at his savior in surprise. She didn't seem much older than himself, but within seconds, she had crushed that demon like nothing.
She turned around.
_Are you alright? – she asked, her smile was kind. The boy nodded
_Who are you? – someone asked rudely.
She didn't need to turn around to know who he was, his essence was the same as ever. His rude tone of voice bothered her a little, but other than that, she was glad to hear him again... ¿Or should she say for the first time?... she couldn't help but to smile as she answer him.
_My name is Shizuka, glad to see you Inuyasha. – she finally looked at him. He was standing under a huge tree, his red hakama made him really easy to spot, and it was obvious, from the look of his face, that he didn't know who the hell she was.
_I don't remember being friends with you – he said rudely – or even know you for that matter.
She chuckled.
_Let's say that I do know you, I'll explain it to you later. But for now, this boy needs his mother.
Inuyasha looked at the boy and noticed the truth of this fact, as usually happens after one of those incidents, that kid had just realized how close to die he had been, and now he was crying asking for "mommy"
_Alright, but don't think that you'll get away from me. Got it?
_Got it – she answered with a smile.
While he was taking the boy in his arms (so he could run faster) he checked on the girl standing before him.
She had long silver hair, a few bangs fell randomly in her forehead in which she had a lilac bandana, she also was wearing a small ponytail at each side of her head, but what was left of her hair was just falling till her waist.
Her eyes were big and... ¿Golden?... her face was a little round, showing her youth, her features were sweet yet somewhat prideful, she reminded him of someone but he couldn't say who. She also had pointed hears.
She was wearing a two pieces hakama, the upper part was white except for the shoulder there it was deep purple as the end of the long sleves, it also had lilac flowers scattered across it, one big flower marked where was her heart. The bottom part was lilac, her belt was deep purple, and she was wearing black boots. She had a long katana in her belt. And he could clearly see that she wasn't human... not completely at least. Her scent was confusing, she didn't smell like a human neither like a demon or a half-demon... she smelled kinda like... ¿lilacs and mint?
_Alright – he begun to walk away with the child in his arms. And Shizuka was following him
_Where do you think you're going? – he suddenly said without looking at her.
_To Kaede's Village, of course – she simply said.
_No way! You'll wait here... – he didn't know if she was an enemy, the demons had been agitated recently and they where attacking the villages more than the usual... so he couldn't allow himself the risk to take this strange-getting-out-of-nowhere girl, without knowing what she wanted first.
_No, I won't. – she cut him off – I need to talk with Kagome, she'll understand this better than you. Besides if you don't want to take me there, that's fine. Because I know how to get there on my own – Shizuka give him a cocky smile – and I bet that I can get there faster than you.
_You'd wished – he said with a confident smile. The little boy was moving his eyes from one to another, his fear already forgotten.
_Then, if you're so sure about it, let's do something – Shizuka said lifting one finger in front of Inuyasha – if I get there first you'll let me talk with Kagome.
_And what if I win?– he asked trying his best to look uninterested, but he failed miserably.
_Then I'll do as you say. whether you decide for me to enter in the village or not. I shall accept it. – she was serious about it, the first thing she needed was talking with Kagome and explain the situation to her... the rest would come later...
_Yay! A race! – the boy suddenly exclaimed. Surprising both of them. But that wasn't all, he pointed out his little dirty finger at Shizuka's face – Inuyasha will defeat you in no time! – he said more than sure about it and
Inuyasha obviously was more than happy and proud to hear that. So much proud that he even had the courage to look down at her... smiling like if he were the fastest runner of the whole land... well she'll show him how wrong he was.
_Then you don't have any reasons to back down. Don't you? – Shizuka said with a cheerful smile while thinking "I'm going to crush you, you stupid dog-brained half-demon"
_Alright, I accept. – he passed the boy to his back, so he could be more comfortable. – but don't think that I'll let you win just because you're like... I don't know... ten years old?
Shizuka glared at him.
_I'm twelve.
_Right. I'm soo sorry – inuyasha said rolling his eyes – that's a great difference.
_Whatever – Shizuka said, rolling her eyes at the same time. Why, in the world, had she missed him?
They prepared themselves.
_Ready – Inuyasha said.
_Set. – Shizuka's smile widened, showing her little fangs.
_GO!
At the exact moment they begun to run ,Inuyasha knew that something was wrong. One moment she was there and next... the only trace of her was that essence of lillacs and mint that she left behind.
_What the..?
That'll teach him. Shizuka thought as she was running feeling the wind against her skin, if there was something she was proud about, that was her speed. Now that she thought about it, she could go to the village and talk to Kagome by herself... but then again, maybe it'd be better to wait for Inuyasha at the entrance of the village, so he could see that she wasn't dangerous... for them at least.
Shizuka reached the entrance faster than she expected. She let her gaze wander around the village and it's surroundings... seeing how the sunlight bathed the fields, how the people walked from one place to another. She closed her eyes and sit down in the grass, smelling the air, letting all those familiar essences envelop her as she allowed herself to dream that she was at home, that her mother would came out at any second looking for her and calling her name with that sweet smile of hers... she began to hum a lullaby for herself, trying so badly to keep her feelings away. But that just wasn't enough, while she was waiting for Inuyasha she could feel the pain grow stronger and stronger, she didn't want to cry... not again. Not now. She opened her mouth... and took a deep breath. She knew what to do... her mom always asked her for it... Maybe by doing so she wouldn't cry.
Sha-lalala shalalala
She begun singing, her voice was soft and sweet though a little high due to her youth.
You used to call me your angel
Said I was send straight down from heaven
You hold me strong in your arms.
I thought the way you felt so strong
I never wanted you to leave.
I wanted you to stay here holding me...
Her song was filled with sadness and longing, and yet it managed to be sweet... sweet like the memories that came to Shizuka at that moment. Memories filled with the affection of her mother.
I miss you, I miss your smile.
And I still shed a tear every once in a while.
And even though is different now,
You're still here somehow.
My heart won't let you go.
And I need you to know.
I miss you, sha-lalala
I miss you...
That was the only way to express it. She missed her so much... and seeing the place were both of them had been so happy with their friends while waited for him... just hurted... a lot. Shizuka had thought that she'd be happy to see it again, but... it just reminded her how much she had lost.
I miss you, I miss your smile.
And I still shed a tear every once in a while.
And even though is different now,
You're still here somehow.
My heart won't let you go.
And I need you to know.
I miss you sha-lalala
I miss you...
Her essence was closer now. How could she be so damn fast?!
Well... at least she was at the entrance of the village waiting for him, maybe she didn't pretend any harm after all.
But what was that? A song? He hadn't heard that voice before... maybe it was her...
After running for a little while. Inuyasha finally was able to see her sitting in the grass, her eyes closed... she stopped singing abruptly. She surely had smelled him.
_What took you so long? – Shizuka said trying to sound cheerful, her eyes were still closed. So she couldn't notice the way Inuyasha was looking at her.
_Why are you crying? – he simply said. Shizuka opened her eyes and realized he was right. A bit disappointed with herself she dried her tears abruptly with the back of her hand.
_For nothing. – she bluntly said.
_If you don't want to tell me, just say it.
_Don't you have to take that child with his mother and then take me to talk with Kagome?
_Hmp! I know! I know! – and he mumbled something that sounded like "There's no need to be so rude"
Her eyes widened in surprise and she felt a sweatdrop form in the back of her head "look who's talking"
She just let it slide for the moment and stood up.
_Are we going?
After taking the boy with his mother, Inuyasha begun walking, without paying any attention to the girl walking beside him, though everyone in the village seemed to be looking at her. And everyone was thinking the same thing "Doesn't she look like...?"
_Wait! – Shizuka had just realized where they were headed.
_Now what?
_I told you that I needed to talk with Kagome, although speaking with Lady Kaede may not be so bad, I need to talk with Kagome first. She understands about the Bone-eater Well more than you guys... or at least I hope so. Anyways, Why are we going to Lady Kaede's house?
_How do you know that this is the way to Kaede's house? – he exclaimed, suspecting again.
_I'm familiar with the area.
_What did you mean with the Bone-eater Well? – Shizuka sighed in defeat, she didn't want to tell everything over and over again. That would mean...
_I came through there... from the future, not like Kagome – she hurried to explain when he look at her – not so forward... could I explain the rest to Kagome and the others... please? – her bangs were covering her eyes – I don't want to tell this more than once...
Inuyasha remembered that she was crying and singing when he found her waiting for him. Maybe it had something to do with it... He turned around and begun walking again. Leaving Shizuka behind.
_Kagome is with some friends at Kaede's house – he said without turning around – Are you coming or not?
Shizuka lifted her eyes, and a small smile grazed her lips.
_Of course I'm going!
After a while of walking in silence, they finally reached Kaede's house. The sound of the laughter reached them. Inuyasha just entered like nothing. Shizuka took a deep breath and stepped into the house.
What she hadn't expected was that EVERYONE were inside, not only Kagome and Kaede, but Sango, Miroku... even Shippo! And... why were they looking at her like if she had two or three heads, all of the sudden?
_What...? – Sango looked at her, like if she had seen a ghost.
_Incredible... – Miroku looked at Shizuka and then Inuyasha, after that his gaze went from Shizuka to Inuyasha at least three or four times, before, finally, staring to Inuyasha, both his face and voice showed a great disappointment – Inuyasha... How could you do something like this...? You should've invited me! – Sango glared at him. Shizuka could swear she saw flames burning from Sango. – I-I me-e-an... Inuyasha... How despicable!
Inuyasha blinked a few times, not having a single clue of what they were talking about... or Why Kaede lookeed at him with such scowl in her face.
_Huh? What are you talking about? – He seriously didn't understand one thing.
_Don't play dumb Inuyasha, right now it's just patetic – Shippo said crossing his arms and looking at him directly.
_I'm serius! Will somebody tell me what the hell is going on?!
Shizuka wasn't the type who ever back down from any danger, her father had teached her otherwise, but... the look in Kagome's face did make her take two steps back.
_Alright Inuyasha! Who have you been seeing?! – If Shizuka thought that Sango was on fire... well Kagome was a volcano in full eruption!
_What are you talking about?!
_Don't lie to me! She looks just like you! – Kagome said standing up and pointing a finger at Shizuka's face to prove her point.
_What...? – Inuyasha looked at Shizuka, noticing for the first time how much her silver hair and golden eyes looked like his own. But before he could say anything about it...
_INUYASHA... SIT! - Inuyasha hitted the floor with so much strength that he almost broke it.
_Why you...? – he muttered against the floor.
_SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! – it seemed that Kagome didn't plan to end this anytime soon.
_Stop it. – a plain, hard and cold voice commanded. Everyone looked at the source of the voice and it resulted to be not other than Shizuka. Inuyasha tried to see her from the shattered floor and he couldn't belive his eyes. Was that the same voice he heard singing before?
_Excuse me? – Kagome said, half-mad half-surprised – while Inuyasha keep on the floor.
_No. I'm afraid that I do not "excuse you" – Shizuka glared with the same cold voice, she had something important to say and wasn't in the mood to endure the fights between those two, that she knew could keep going on and on till the end of the week – I have something of vital importance to tell to all of you. If you'll do me the favor of stop torturing Inuyasha for the wrong reason, then I may be able to tell you.
_Listen. You... – kagome started, really mad for the attitude of that strange girl.
_No. You listen. – Shizuka interruped her – I came from The Bone-eaters Well from the future with a warning for all of you. And If I look like Inuyasha is just by chance. He hadn't been seeing anyone. How much time has passed since you came back and started living here as a priestess?
_What? – now was Kagome's turn to blink in confusion.
_How much time has passed since you came back and started living here as a priestess? – Shizuka slowly repeated , like if she were talking with a 8 years old, instead of a grow-up woman.
_Six years. Why? – the scowl now was on Kagome's face. While everyone else were worried about that warning. Inuyasha was now sitting next to Miroku.
_Because I'm twelve. If you count you'll see that the sum doesn't match, you waked him up when you first came here and you spent a year traveling with him, after that you dissapeared for three years and now six years have passed. That sums up ten years.
_Oh... – a huge sweatdrop appeared in Kagome's head and she looked apologetically at Inuyasha, who just glared at her – hum... sorry Inuyasha.
_Hmp! – he looked away like a ofended dog.
_A-Anyways. About what did you want to warn us? And what do you mean when you say that you come from the future? – Kagome said, finally paying attention to what Shizuka had told her.
_I think that we should let her sit down and rest a little bit – Kaede kindly said – before she can tell us anything she should make herself comfortable. Would you like some tea?
_Yes, thank you. – Shizuka said with a smile, her tone of voice and manners had changed completely. She sit down in front of Kaede. Inuyasha and Miroku were at Kaede's right, while Sango, Kagome and Shippo were at her left. So Shizuka was in the middle of ALL of them.
_So what's your name? – Shippo asked looking at her.
_Shizuka... – she just said, she couldn't lift her gaze. She could feel everyone's eyes on her... and they were making her nervous. She could hear Lady Kaede making some tea for her. And the heavy silence was killing her... maybe she shouldn't had speaked like that to Kagome... but now it was done... and maybe now Kagome wouldn't like her... or maybe Sango and Miroku now didn't trust in her... Inuyasha suspected of her, that was for sure. What if they didn't belive her...? She begun playing with one of her long silver bangs, something she usually did when she was really unsure or nervous.
Kagome and the others looked at Shizuka, confused. First she treated Kagome like if she were some kind of princess, and now she wouldn't talk to them or even look at them?
_Sooo are you a full demon? – Shippo asked her, curious, she didn't look human.
_No – she just said.
_Why do you smell like that? – he said out of nowhere.
_What!? – Shizuka lift her gaze surprised, of all the questions she could expected...
_Shippo that's not nice at all! – Kagome said – even if your smell sense is stronger you shouldn't ask something like that.
_But she does smell weird – Inuyasha said.
_What do you mean? – Miroku asked. If both demons said so... then she had to smell weird for them.
_She doesn't have an essence – Inuyasha explained to them – usually we can know if someone is a demon or a half-demon because of their essence... in a half demon you can smell the mix of bloods aside the essence of that someone. But she only smells like lillacs and mint... and that's not normal – Shippo nooded to show his agreement.
_I asked Ginenji for a special potion that hides my essence every time I drink it... but it seemed wrong not having an essence at all, so I use an extract made of lilacs and mint so I can let a track... if I want to.
_Why do you want to hide your essence? – Miroku asked her.
_Because... it could reveal to my parents who I am... before time, and that could risk my own existence...
_Is really that dangerous? – Sango asked her.
_Yes...
Silence filled the room again as they thought about it.
Kaede gave Shizuka a cup of hot tea.
_Thank you Lady Kaede.
_You're welcome, now be careful it's hot.
Shizuka nodded and blow the tea before taking a sip... it made her feel better.
_Now. About what did you wanted to warn us? – Kagome asked.
Shizuka took a deep breath. Her biggest fear was that they may not belive her... well she'll know it soon enough.
_In about seventeen years... you're all going to die...
Everyone in the small room gasped.
_You gotta be joking! – Inuyasha said. – we defeated Naraku, for crying at loud!
The others muttered something like that.
_No, I'm not. It may be easier for you all to understand if I told you what I saw... what will happend if we don't do something about it.
There's this powerful demon... it's name is Kurotsuki, this demon promised itself to destroy another powerful demon. In order to doing so, it began to eat the people's souls, so it could get stronger... it begun with weak people... but later on Kurotsuki started to feel confident enough to go after priestess and monks. It's powers grew stronger and stronger the more Kurotsuki killed and finally she decided to go for the ultimate meal before facing that demon... the priestess and the half-demon that killed Naraku. – a silence that could be cut with a knife spread over the room – It was late at night... my mother and I were sleeping when I smelled the blood, I told her to hide and I went outside... then I saw you guys running to fight, like always... but it just... – she choked as she remembered and tried to explain to them, but it was hard – you all told me to help the women and children to escape and so I did... or at least I tried to... I didn't have my sword back then. – she did her best trying to sound calm... but obviously she wasn't calm at all, judging from the way she gripped the cup in her hands – I remember watching from afar how all of you attacked her with all you've got... but... for some reason your attacks failed and... I don't know exactly what happened. All I saw was a white light... and figures coming out of it... after that... you all were death... I remember running trying to get to you... then I smelled the blood of someone really important to me... my mother who was still in our hut... I went closer and I saw that you all had wounds, lots of them... and then... I went to my hut... and there was my mother... she was death – Shizuka hide her eyes behind her bangs but both Inuyasha and Shippo could smell the salty essence of the tears forming in her eyes, yet her voice sound calm – I went back outside, and I saw something even worse – all of them wondered what could be worse than that – the village was full of bright spheres trapped in what looked like a web... I realized that those were your souls... yours and from everyone else on the village... including my mother... some spheres were brighter than others... but they all ended up the same... that... demon... attracted them to her and... ate every last one of them – she stopped for a second, trying to put herself back together – I don't remember much after that... I might tried to do something stupid because my next memory is me... hurted and in the middle of a fire that I don't know how it even started... and there she was looking at me and when I tought that I was done... He came and killed her with his Bakusaiga – everyone gasped, however Shizuka continued as she hadn't heard them – but it was too late... I beg him to bring you all back, even my mother... but the power of Tenseiga only works when there's a soul to save... she absorbed and destroyed your souls, so there was no way to save you... or my mother.
But I just couldn't accept this fact. So I went to talk with the oldest demons I knew... Myoga and Totosai... my father knew them, that was when I found ot about the bone-eater's well... and how Kagome used to come and go from her time to this from there. But the well was closed and a great power would be needed to opened it again, like the power of Tenseiga and Tetsusaiga together... and a really powerful demon...
_In other words, you needed Sesshomaru's help – Miroku stated.
_Exactly. I asked for his help... I'll just say that he acceded to my request in order to save Rin's life.
_That's the only thing he always cared about – Inuyasha said.
_Anyways... My father asked Totosai to make this sword for me – Shizuka said showing them her katana, Kagomewas able to detect a hint of pride in her voice, regardless the sadness – "Tsukiakari" it's made with one of his fangs, so he can keep on protecting me... because only a human or a demon with human blood can go trough the well, so I had to left him in order to come and warn you. Because I want to save you all and... I want to save my mother more than anything in this life. I didn't know how back I'd end up... but I'm glad, because she shouldn't be THAT strong in this time... I think that she'd just begun killing priestess and monks... that said... – Shizuka took a deep breath, it was now or never – Do you belive me...? – she was afraid of the answer... but she had to ask. She waited for their answer staring at the floor... she didn't want to see the distrust in their faces or worse... the disbelief...
_I belive her – for Shizuka's surprise the first one to talk was Inuyasha, she looked at him, the tears in her eyes treathening to fall at anytime... she did her best trying to hold them back.
_Me too – Miroku said – many priestess had went missing and the demons are more agressive than the usual.
_Yes – Sango said, her expression darkened – just like when Naraku was around...
_And maybe worst, because this time the stronger demons aren't hiding. Instead they are taking advantage of the situation, they even dare to attack villages protected by priestess – kagome said. – or at least that's what Kohaku has told you. Right Sango?
_Yes. He's at home right now, taking care of the children.
_Poor Kohaku – Shippo stated. Shizuka agreed with him. She knew Sango and Miroku's childrens and... well, even when they were older than her (at least in her time) she'd rather taking care of a hungry ogre than babysitting them... but that wasn't the point...
_Would you help me? – Shizuka asked. She could see everyone's surprised (and even worried) expressions. She was sure that it wasn't fear... not for them, but for their loved ones... another quest trying to find and slay a powerful demon... she knew that she was asking too much. The silence took over again... while the question floated in the air.
Inuyasha thought about all the times Kagome almost died when they were after Naraku. Kagome was worried about Inuyasha... Sango was thinking about her family and what could happend to them Miroku was thinking the same thing... they all were trying to figure out how to proceed.
Shizuka stood up. – I'm not going to force any of you to accompany me. But I'd like that you think of what I just said. You'll die if we don't do something about it. And not just you – she was serious about it, and made them notice this fact – If you decide not to help, for whatever the reasons, I'll go on my own. But I'd really appreciated if you decide to come with me... then the possibility of winning would be greater. – She head off the exit – I'll come back in a few days to hear your answer... I understand than this is to sudden to decide right away, but we are short of time... everyday Kurotsuki becomes stronger with each soul she eats... – she turned around to leave.
_Where are you going to stay? – Kaede asked her.
_I'll be nearby.
_Are you going to be fine? You can stay here if you want – Shizuka smiled, that was Lady Kaede, even if she was a little rought around the edges, she was kind.
_I'll be fine... my mother taught me how to fish and my father how to fight if I need to... and I can sleep in a tree. I don't mind being out in the open.
_Are you sure? You don't have to – Sango said.
_Yes. Besides I think that you all be able to think better in your decision if I'm not around. – she headed towards the entrance – but thanks tough. – she said before leaving.
When she was gone everyone went to their respective huts. They had a lot to think about.
It was late at night... Sango and Miroku were talking while Kohaku put the children to bed, after discussing what Shizuka had told them, they were trying to decide what to do.
_I know that we have to go – Sango said, the fire made her worried expression even darker. – but I can't leave our kids... I just can't.
_Then I'll go – Miroku said, she lift her face to find his decided look. She sighed... when he put that look, she knew that nothing would make him change his mind.
_Miroku... – he put a finger in her lips.
– if what she told us is true, and I think it is, our lives are in the line... and not just our own – he looked at the other room were their kids were sleeping (hopefully) – I don't want to loose any of you – he caress her face, feeling how smooth it was.
_Then I'll go too – she said.
_No – her eyes widened in surprise – one of us has to stay here to protect them if something happens. And if you are scared of me being with other women while I'm gone, don't worry, I'll come back. – he said playfully. Sango glared at him, and Miroku felt a sweatdrop form in his forehead.
It was then when they heard a small chuckle.
_You are the only one who dares to make my sis mad – Kohaku said entering to the room a small smile in his lips. He had grown up a lot since the time when Naraku had him under control, both in body and strength. He used his hair a little bit longer than before, other than that he was almost the same. His expression changed to a serious one – I couldn't help to hear what you were talking about... and I agree with Miroku, Sis you should stay.
_But..
_I'll go with him. – both Miroku and Sango looked at him – Come on, don't look at me like that, besides I'll watch him for you Sis – he blinked an eye to her, and made her smile.
_Then is decided – Miroku said.
_Yes, I'll stay here... but you two better come back safe or I'll never forgive you. – Sango looked both of them.
_Alright – Miroku and Kohaku said at the same time.
Inuyasha was sitting staring at the stars outside his... no... their hut. He would go that was for sure... but what about Kagome? She could get hurt... or worse, that Demon were looking for priestess and monks to eat their souls and absorb their powers... he'd rather die than let something like that happen to Kagome... he wasn't going to lose someone precious for him again...
His sensitive ears capted the sound of footsteps.
_Why aren't you sleeping?
_I could ask you the same thing – Kagome said sitting beside him.
_I was thinking...
_You are going – it wasn't a question.
_Yes.
_And you want to leave me here...
_I don't want anything bad to happen to you – he just said, his eyes still looking at the stars.
_Inuyasha look at me. – he did so.
_I'm going with you no matter what.
_But...
_Stop right there! I've always being with you, and I'll always will. And there's nothing you can say or do that make stay here all alone, waiting for you... no I'm going and that's final!
Inuyasha just hugged her.
_Just promise me that you won't get away from my side.
_I promise.
Shizuka were to a river, looking the reflection of the stars in the water... she didn't feel like singing, she was worried and scared, there was too much to do and she didn't know where to start. She thought about her mother... and hold firm to Tsukiakari, like if carrying that part of her father gave her back her strength...
Father... Mom... I won't give up, even If I'm lost. I promise to not give up... I love you both.
She looked up to the starry sky and smiled as she took a deep breath.
La noche esta tan clara (the night is so clear).
No puedo perder nada (I can't lose anything).
Espero llegar (I hope to get there)
Un viaje sin destino (a journey without destiny).
A las estrellas pido (I ask to the stars).
Les pido valor (I ask them for courage).
Que no se despierte el mar (That the sea doesn't awake).
Les pido calor (I ask them for warmth)
Volverte a encontrar (to find you again).
Cantare hasta morir (I'll sing till' I die)
Hasta verte sonreir (till' I see you smiling)
Donde estes (wherever you are)
Te cantare solo a ti... (I'll sing only for you).
Shizuka finished her song and went to sleep... like everyone else.
A/N: So How was it? Please leave some reviews. Please please!
Oh by the way, this isn't a songfic, just that Shizuka sings to gave herself some courage and in my head Shizuka has her own voice not to hight, but neighter a grave one... the songs I used are "I miss you" from Miley Cyrus and "La esperanza debida" from the OLD La Oreja De Van Gogh...
If you have any suggestions for future songs jus PM me or left a Review.
See you! soon I hope I have an awful cold so...
Anyways bye bye!
