CHAPTER TWO: Memories of Sesshomaru
(Meanwhile in the feudal era...)
Sesshomaru was siting under a shade tree, starring at the sky.
Jaken and Rin were arguing in the background, but he didn't seem to notice.
He was too deep in thought...
(Flash Back)
"I'm sorry, Sesshomaru. Its time to part." Yuko said, sadly.
"I see." Sesshomaru said.
"Sesshomaru...I think I misunderstood you. I thought you were cruel, unfriendly and cold..." Yuko said.
"Watch it!!! How dare you say such things to Sesshomaru!!" Jaken yelled.
"Stop it, Jaken!" Sesshomaru said, loudly.
"Huh? Oh, okay." Jaken said, quietly.
"I started to realize every time you helped me...your kindness...Thank you so much!" Yuko said.
"Hm..." Sesshomaru said.
"Good-Bie, everyone! I promise won't forget you!" Yuko said, disappearing.
(End Flash Back)
'I can't get her out of my mind. Why, after all this time?' Sesshomaru thought.
Rin and Jaken's arguing got louder.
Sesshomaru got up and started to walk away.
"Wait, M'lord!" Jaken said, loudly.
"Don't follow me." Sesshomaru said.
Jaken froze and Sesshomaru walked away.
' Sigh He's been like this since that girl left. He's been almost...moping. We haven't left
'the field of ignorance' for two weeks. Its unlike Lord Sesshomaru to be in one place this long.' Jaken thought.
"Sesshomaru misses Big Sister, doesn't he?" Rin asked.
"Don't be ridiculous! Of course not!" Jaken said, loudly.
'Or...does he?' Jaken thought.
Sesshomaru walked by the river, thinking about Yuko again.
(Flash Back)
"So, Inuyasha this human girl is your friend?" Sesshomaru asked.
"So what?" Inuyasha asked.
"Hm. Let's go, Jaken." Sesshomaru said, a little sad.
(Later)
"If Naraku isn't here, there's no point in us hanging around. Let's go, Jaken." Sesshomaru said, looking at Yuko from outside the dour, a few feet away.
"Okay, Sesshomaru." Jaken said, suspiciously.
(End Flash Back)
'What is this feeling? I've felt it since I met that girl.' Sesshomaru thought.
"Yuko..." He said, quietly.
His heart shot him a pain.
Sesshomaru groaned holding his chest.
'Its getting worse.' Sesshomaru thought.
After the fight with Naraku, he'd felt feverish. Then, his heart started acting up.
'Did Naraku do this? Did he poison me somehow?' He thought.
(Meanwhile in the present)
A chill went through Yuko.
'What was that? I hope everything's alright in the feudal era. That felt like a bad omen.' Yuko thought.
(Later That Night)
Yuko and Kagome were in Kagome's room when Inuyasha came in.
"Did you do it?" Kagome asked.
"Yeah, but I still don't think its gonna work." Inuyasha said, tossing Kagome a walkie-talkie.
"Do What?" Yuko asked.
"Hehe, this." Kagome said, grinning.
"Hey, can you guys hear me?" Kagome asked, into the walkie-talkie.
"Loud and clear, Kagome." Sango said.
"Sango?!" Yuko said, loudly.
"Is that you Yuko?" Shippo asked.
"Its been a long time." Miroku said.
"Shippo! Miroku!" Yuko said, loudly.
"Hey don't forget about us." Kohaku said.
"Hello again, Yuko." Kaede said.
Kirara mewed.
"Kohaku, Kaede, Kirara! How have you all been?" Yuko said.
"We're all fine. What about you?" Sango said.
"Same here. Its great to here from you guys." Yuko said.
"We missed you, Yuko." Shippo said.
"Yes. Its not the same without you here." Miroku said.
"I missed you guys, too. I wish I could come back, but the well didn't work the last time. I doubt it would be different this time." Yuko said.
"Couldn't you use your Shikigami? That's how Utsugi brought you here the first time." Sango said.
"Maybe, but I don't know how Utsugi did it." Yuko said.
"Hey Sango, wasn't there some news you wanted to tell Yuko?" Kagome asked.
"Oh yeah! I almost forgot!" Sango said.
"How could you forget something so important?" Miroku asked, a little hurt.
"Sorry, Miroku. We're engaged!" Sango said.
"Engaged?!" Yuko said, loudly.
"Yes, officially engaged." Miroku said.
"I'm so happy for you!!" Yuko yelled.
"Miroku promised Sango that once Naraku was defeated, they'd get married. He officially asked her to marry him two weeks ago." Kagome said.
"Wow!" Yuko said.
Later that night, Inuyasha had gone back thought the well and Kagome and Yuko were talking.
"...So, now we have to find the shards Naraku had. Its almost like starting over." Kagome said.
"What do you think Sesshomaru's gonna do?" Yuko asked.
"Hmm, whatever he did before Naraku came along, I guess. Hehe, just like the old days..." Kagome said.
"Huh?" Yuko asked.
"Before Naraku came along, Sesshomaru and Inuyasha were fighting over the Tetsusaiga. Their father left it to Inuyasha, giving the Tenseiga to Sesshomaru. The Tenseiga's not for battle, it can bring people back from the bring of death." Kagome said.
"So, that's the other sword Sesshomaru carried with him." Yuko said.
"Huh? He still carries it?" Kagome asked.
"Yeah." Yuko said.
"I wonder why. He only uses Tokijin." Kagome said.
"Well, it was his fathers sword right?" Yuko asked.
"Yeah." Kagome said.
"That's more then enuff reason to keep it." Yuko said.
"I guess so." Kagome said.
Yuko sighed quietly, thinking about Sesshomaru.
Kagome smiled.
"You really like Sesshomaru, don't you?" Kagome said.
"Huh?! No, not like that!" Yuko said, loudly.
"Liar." Kagome said.
"No really were barely even friends!" Yuko said.
"So you say." Kagome said, with a smile.
Meanwhile in the feudal era...
Rin and Jaken were sound asleep by Ah-Un.
Sesshomaru was sitting under a tree, holding his chest.
'Its gotten worse since this afternoon. I hope Yuko is alright, if its this bad on me...no, she's fine.
Why do I care anyway?' Sesshomaru thought.
"Big... Sister..." Rin said in her sleep.
Sesshomaru watched Rin sleep for a few minutes.
'Rin really misses Yuko. I wonder if we will ever see her again.' Sesshomaru thought.
The Next morning:
"Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled.
"What?! Kagome yelled back.
"We have to find the jewel shards that Naraku had! They could be anywhere! We need to start now!" Inuyasha said, loudly.
"Not today! We've been searching for almost a month without a trace! Sango and Kohaku have alot of catching up to do! All I'm asking for is two lousy days!" Kagome said loudly.
"Fine! I'll be back!" Inuyasha said loudly.
"Groan This is getting so tiring!" Kagome said, after Inuyasha was out of hearing range.
A couple hours later...
"Hey, Kagome..." Inuyasha said.
"I'M NOT GOING!!" Kagome yelled.
"ITS NOT ABOUT THAT!!" Inuyasha yelled.
"What is it Inuyasha?" Yuko asked.
"I came here to get some medicine. Ours won't work on this." Inuyasha said.
"Who's hurt?!" Kagome asked, worried.
"Sesshomaru." Inuyasha said.
Yuko gasped.
"What happened?" Kagome asked.
"Well..." Inuyasha said.
(Flash Back)
'I can't believe Kagome! Naraku could be trying to come back with those shards!' Inuyasha thought.
"Inuyasha!" Jaken yelled, he and Rin running to Inuasha.
"What do ya' want?" Inuyasha asked, irritated.
"Lord Sesshomaru is very ill. We need your help. You might know something about poison that we don't know." Jaken said.
"Why should I care?" Inuyasha asked.
"You're brothers. Whatever differences you two have, can't change that. Surely that means something." Jaken said.
"Nope. See ya'." Inuyasha said, walking off.
"Wait!" Rin yelled and ran after Inuyasha.
"Please, Inuyasha! Lord Sesshomaru saved my life and now I have to save his! If somethings not done...he'll die!" Rin said, sobbing.
"She's right. Please, Inuyasha help us. You should know better then anyone, that I'd never ask you for help unless it was a matter of life and death." Jaken said.
(End Flash Back)
"Its bad. I'm not sure he'll survive no matter what we do. He's dieing." Inuyasha said.
Yuko gasped again, getting teary.
"I want to go to!" Yuko said.
"The well doesn't work for you, remember?" Inuyasha asked.
A few minutes later...
Kagome and Inuyasha left.
'I've gotta do something! But, I can't even get to the feudal era.' Yuko thought.
She gasped.
'The storehouse!' Yuko thought, running out the dour.
'If I went through once, I can do it again. Maybe my Shikigami is enuff.' Yuko thought.
A few minutes, she opened the storehouse dour.
A portion of the flour started glowing.
'I'm coming, Sesshomaru!' Yuko thought.
