Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha. Any war references come from stories told by Holocaust survivors.
Warning: This story it a mixture of facts and fiction over the Holocaust. I mean no offense to anyone, but I think the truth of the horrors of the Holocaust need to awaken people's eyes. This story will be sad and gruesome, but I swear for a happy ending.
Title: To Love Thy Enemy
(Ch 2 Day of Clouds - year 1939)
"Rin wake up! Shippo grab her we got to leave now!"
"Why?" Asked Shippo sleepily tugging on Rin's arm.
"The demons are here!"
Shippo blinked then grabbed Rin's whole arm dragging her out of the bed. Kagome slid open the door and peered out. All clear, picking up the tiny Rin Kagome ran out into the hall Shippo hot on her heels. Sounds of metal against stone and war cries rung throughout the empty halls and the small group fled out the back door. The second they stepped out into the open the noise intensified. Clutching little Rin tightly against her body she raced towards the cover of the woods.
"Ah!" Cried out Shippo. Kagome screeched to a stop and turned to see Shippo struggling to get back on his feet after tripping over a particularly large rock. Kagome ran back to his side and hauled him up by his hand. Before she had a chance to turn backa dn run something white caught her eye. Time seemed to slow as her eyes took in the most beautiful man she had ever known. His pristine white clothing displayed some rank she obviously didn't understand. His long silver hair flowed elegantly in the breeze that suddenly seemed a bit nipper than it had a moment ago. His eyes met her for a moment before both were startled out of their trance.
"General Tashio!" Cried a voice from the front of the building. Sesshoumaru turned his head towards the voice and by the time he had turned to look back at her she had snatched up Shippo's hand and returned to her dash for the woods.
(Same time – Sesshoumaru's POV)
It hadn't been hard to locate the shrine. The small wooden building was in the middle of the biggest city in the country next to their own capital. Edo was a defiantly growing city.
They hadn't actually ran into to many humans though for it being so early in the morning. Not until they had attacked the shrine that is. As soon as the first demon had refused to stop from entering the whole house exploded with people and colors of white and red. The miko's were fighting back with whatever they could. It wouldn't be enough, but still a valiant effort.
Sesshoumaru stood off to the side watching his men push forward and corner the ladies, until some movement in the corner of his eye distracted him. A woman no older than 16 or so was struggling to help up a fallen child and still keep a hold on the girl in her arms. She froze like a deer in the headlights when she saw him staring. She was lovely indeed. Her black hair ruffled as though she hadn't had time to brush it, her clothes slightly wrinkled. The children she struggled to hold onto hadn't even had time to get out of their pajamas.
"General Tashio!" Sesshoumaru jerked his head away to see who had called him. An officer motioned for him to come interrogate the prisoners. Sesshoumaru turned his head back to the lady in the wrinkled dress only to notice she was gone. Shaking his head Sesshoumaru scowled and turned back to the officer, it was time to get some answers.
(Same time – Kagome's POV)
Kagome panted heavily as she jumped over logs and ducked under branches followed closely by Shippo. That had been close, if he hadn't been distracted what would have happened to them? For that matter what would happen to them now? Rin gripped Kagome's dress tightly, her eyes clenched so as not to look at the zooming world around her.
Finally after about 20 more minutes the edge of Kagome's fears began to fade and she started yo slowdown a bit. Breathing heavily Kagome placed Rin on the ground holding her hand lightly and allowing herself to calm down.
They were out of immediate danger. That's good.
They had no provisions. That's bad.
They could head toAunt Kaede's house on the outskirts of town to stay at. That's good.
It was another day's walk though. That's bad.
Kagome sighed. Well a least they had a place to go to. Kagome glanced behind her. Shippo walked along seeming to be deep in thought. Rin appeared to by wide-eyed and solemn for the most part. Kagome smiled sadly and returned her gaze to the woods around them. About an hour later they came to a clearing.
"Ok guys, we'll camp here for the night. Come on, let's see if we can find something to eat." Said Kagome with false cheer. It was going to be a very long night.
There is a second chapter just for you! Please review! I need some suggestions.
Preview:
Sesshoumaru growled and stomped out of the shrine. The holiness choked him. Denied, he had been denied his revenge by mere hours. He'd show them the miko's would be the first, his need for blood would be quenched!
