My Other Half: The Mystery of Yakunan
A Twilight, Teen Titans, and InuYasha Crossover
Last Time…
"We can talk later." Sesshomaru said, "Let us go meet up with the others at Kaede's village. I'm sure they will be glad to see you."
I stretched my hand forward in a gesture. "Lead the way dear brother."
He gave me a slight-smile? And then began to head north, as I soon followed along with the Cullens.
Oh the JOYS of being the younger
Chapter 1
Saying Hello Again
We all followed after Sesshomaru, and within 10 minutes, we came to Kaede's village.
Edward wrapped his arm around my waist, and I leaned on him for support.
In the 5 months that we were gone-a lot had happened.
Edward and I had grown closer, and he had wanted to know more about demons, and what it was like being one. And so, I guess you could say there was a spark.
One by one, we walked down the hill, and into the village, receiving many stares from the villagers, but yet none lifted a weapon to try to kill us.
That's strange, I thought.
But my thoughts were interrupted when Sesshomaru stopped.
"Everyone is in there." He stated, pointing to one of the huts ahead of us.
"Thank you Sesshomaru-Sama." I heard Esme say, and I slightly smiled to myself.
I lightly squeezed Edward's hand, and we walked in.
…..
"Lady Arashi!" Was the first thing I heard and I felt arms wrap around my waist, in a tight hug.
My first reaction, was my body completely froze up, but when I looked down to see in was Rin, I kneeled down to her level and hugged her back.
"It's good to see you too Rin-chan."
"Lady Arashi you've returned!" I heard several other voices say, Sango, Miroku, and Kagome all came and greeted me.
But I noticed someone else sitting alone.
"Who are you?" I asked the young girl.
Her eyes widened at the sight of me, but she stood up and bowed to me. "My name is Kaname, I'm from Kagome's time." She replied, and I nodded my head in understanding.
"You don't smell human." I objected, "You smell…like a sorceress."
"Shikigami sorceress to be exact." She said
"So, you're back." A voice retorted, and I turned to look into the far corner, and I immediately stood up.
"InuYasha," I greeted solemnly, and I slightly bowed, but he did not return it.
"I thought you were gone for good." He said walking towards me.
"InuYasha!" Kagome scolded, but I held a hand up in warning.
"No, he's right in treating me like this. I shouldn't have left in the first place."
"So what did you do in 'The Present'?" Miroku asked curiously.
I immediately stiffened up again. "Well, if you must know, I did save a few people, and I've gained more knowledge of different cultures and languages."
"Wow!" Rin whispered, looking up at me, causing a slight smile to graze my face.
"So, did you have your test yet?" InuYasha asked me.
"No. You?"
He shook his head.
"What do you suggest we do about it?"
I thought about that for a moment. "I wanna find out WHY and WHEN we will be tested, so I say we go back to Sohi's castle."
They all looked at each other, and seemed to whisper amongst themselves before answering.
"I agree," Kagome said.
"I think we should go back, and find out when. Because to be honest, I'm tired of waiting." I said.
"Then it's settled," Kagome said clasping her hands together, "We leave tomorrow morning!"She then looked at me with worried eyes. "Do you think you can get Sesshomaru to come with us?"
An evil smile grazed my face, "I believe I can manage."
…...
"No."
"Oh COME ON! PLEASE?" I begged.
"I already said NO." Sesshomaru growled at me, as we both inclined towards each other, also glaring.
"Fine," I spit out, "Then I guess, you'll just have to wait a few more centuries before you can master the power of Tenseiga…."
He was silent, and he turned away from me.
"When are we leaving?"
"Yay!" I rejoiced, throwing my arms around Sesshomaru in a tight hug, ignoring his low growl.
"I asked 'When are we leaving'?" he said in his usual stone voice.
"Tomorrow morning!" I said joyfully.
Sesshomaru turned back towards me, and his hand moved around on my head.
"Umm, Sesshomaru? What are you doing?"
"Checking for head injuries." He explained, and I managed a small laugh.
"You seem very…excited. I haven't seen you this happy in centuries." He explained ruffling my hair like an older sibling would.
I smiled, and fixed my hair again.
"So….we'll meet you outside of Kaede's village tomorrow morning ok?" I said with a cheery expression on my face.
He let out an exasperated sigh, but nodded in understanding.
I almost squealed, but then regained my pride, and bowed to him.
"Thank you Sesshomaru."
Then, I walked back to Kaede's village.
…..
"Arashi, I don't mean to be disrespectful, but I think it would be best if you, Sesshomaru, and InuYasha turned yourselves into human form." Miroku said, as all of us were gathered on top of a hill, just outside of Kaede's village.
"Keh, and why would we do that?" InuYasha retorted, "It's not like the people around here have never seen demons before."
"What Miroku is trying to say, is that he just doesn't want us attracting much attention. It's already hard enough traveling in a large group like this." Sango said, eyeing the Cullens and Rin and Jaken.
I pondered that for a moment. They do have a point, we would be less inconspicuous, and perhaps we wouldn't have monks chasing us around with sacred sutras.
"Alright, I'm sure I can figure out a spell that can help us."
"Keh, when did you get into magic anyways?" InuYasha asked.
"InuYasha, I would appreciate it if you actually TRIED to be nice to me. This attitude will get you nowhere and after all, I am your sister." I objected closing my eyes, a frown of disapproval on my face.
"Fine." He retorted, but when he saw my death glare, he cleared his throat, "Could you PLEASE tell me how you came to know magic."
"Much better. To answer your question, it's actually NOT magic. It's actually powers I retained from paying a visit to Azarath."
Sesshomaru's eyes slightly widened. "Ehem, exactly WHY would you go to Azarath, and come back with Azarathian magic? More importantly, how did you come back ALIVE?"
I slightly smiled, and managed a small laugh.
"Sesshomaru, not all people on Azarath are bad! I met up with one of father's old friends, Arella.
Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow in questioning, but I ignored him.
"Edward, be a dear and fetch my bag." I said in an angelic voice.
He nodded, disappeared for only half a second, before coming back with my small travel bag.
"Thank you." I said giving him a kind smile, and went to reach into my bag, bringing out an old, black book, with a symbol on the cover.
"What's that Arashi-sama?" Kagome asked, eying the large book in my arms.
"An Azarathian book of spells." I said, as I began paging through the large book.
"Ah Ha!" I said after a few seconds of endlessly paging around. "Ok, Sesshomaru and InuYasha, grab onto me."
They looked at me puzzled, and I sighed in frustration.
"You have to grab onto me in order for the spell to work on all 3 of us."
They both each put a clawed hand on my shoulder.
"Ok," I sighed, and I closed my eyes in concentration, "Azarath Metrion Zinthos…Kalazon Racashos Endarath...Vasirix Zendrien Azarath...Azarath!"
I felt each of our bodies sending out waves of pulses, and when I opened my eyes, I already knew the spell had worked. My eyesight was not as strong as it had been, and my ears were not as sensitive.
My book fell out of my hands, and dropped to the ground, as I quickly looked myself over.
"My hair is….black." I heard Sesshomaru say, and when I turned to look at him, I nearly burst out laughing.
All of his face markings were gone, and he didn't look as menacing as he once was.
InuYasha I paid no mind to, for I knew that on the night of the new moon, he lost his demonic powers, and now, he simply retained that form.
I leaned down, and picked up the book, carefully placing it back in by bag.
"I think we're ready to leave." I said in a cherry voice.
"Arashi, are you sure you're ok?" InuYasha asked me, and I giggled, which only made his eyes widen even further.
"I'm fine, aren't I supposed to be happy? Is there something wrong with that?"
"N-No!" InuYasha said holding up his hands, "It's just-nice seeing you like this."
"Uh….sorry for breaking up your happy moment, but….shouldn't we be heading out?" Emmett said.
"You're right, let's go." I said in a hard voice now, and began walking down the hill, towards the road.
