Chapter Two - Sutefanii
SIX YEARS AFTER INUYASHA AND KAGOME MARRIED
The Castle residing over the Western Lands looked particularly majestic this afternoon. It was Sutefanii's favorite time of year, when summer met fall. The trees were still green but you could smell the autumn air marking the lands.
Sutefanii had been in the Feudal Era for six and a half years and blessed the Heavens every day for having them bring her here. She remembered the incident as if it happened yesterday …
"Keep running! You've only got one more block to go before someone will see you and help." Ignoring the aching in her sides and the feeling that her lungs were on fire Sutefanii continued to sprint down the deserted street. On her heels were Randy, Megan, and Alex hungry to catch and beat her for shattering the windows of Randy's new car. "I'm not going to make it to the next block! I have to lose them in the cemetery." Sutefanii jumped onto the concrete base of the iron cast wall and climbed until she got to the top. Pulling herself over she landed with a thud and continued to run making sure she didn't trip over any of the tombstones.
"You can't run forever Sutefanii!! You're going to pay for what you did to my car bitch!!" The three girls stood on the outside of the cemetery trying to catch their breath. "Forget it guys, we'll get that freak tomorrow." With that said the girls began to walk back to Randy's car.
"I didn't mean to do it. They just made me so angry!" Sutefanii thought as she caught her breath at the old oak tree in the middle of the graveyard. "I thought the rich kid versus the freak battles were suppose to end after high school." Sutefanii had always been picked on for being 'special', which is why her parents enrolled her in martial arts classes so that she could defend herself and learn to focus her mind so she wouldn't have any more accidents. But tonight they hit a nerve. As Sutefanii was walking home after her job at the boardwalk Randy pulled up next to her and began the usual taunting. "You know for someone who works at one of the hottest restaurants on the Jersey shore you could spend a little money and fix yourself up" Megan and Alex giggled from the passenger and back seats. "Tell me something Randy, how long did your temper tantrum last before mommy and daddy gave up and bought you that car? Seeing how your work ethic isn't producing the big bucks." Randy's smile faded and her face began to turn red. "Well at least my little sister is in high school. Where's yours? Oh that's right! Your RETARD of a half sister is too stupid to pass the seventh grade. Third times a charm I hear!" Sutefanii's rage boiled and before she knew it the flash of purple happened and the wind shattered all the windows in Randy's new car.
"They'll be waiting for me I'm sure. But that will be tomorrows battle, time to get home." As Sutefanii made her way to the end of the cemetery one of the crypts grabbed her attention. There was a light inside that seemed to call out to her. "Well I haven't gotten into enough trouble tonight, might as well go check it out." What did she have to be afraid of, ghosts? Sutefanii walked into the crypt and saw the set of stairs leading down to where the light was originating. At the bottom she didn't see any caskets or tombs, but a glass wall emanating the amber light that attracted her to this place. "What is this?" She whispered in awe placing a hand on the wall. As if she had been kicked in the stomach all of the air rushed out of Sutefanii lungs and a vision of finding her lifeless body at the bottom of the crypt with reporters, her grieving family, and the three girls being interrogated flashed through her head. Sutefanii's body fell forward as she felt her whole body tingle and shake before the world around her went black. Hours later she woke up to find herself at the back of cave in the land she would call home.
"Sutefanii."
"Yes My Lord."
"Start descending to the village. Sango is with child and with Mine, Kanaye, and Yasuo still too young to fight Inuyasha will need help in case they are attacked."
"Yes Lord Sesshoumaru. I'll bring them here safely."
Sutefanii left and began running down the path leading to the village. Sesshoumaru watched her leave before returning to the gardens to finish planning the wedding for Rin and Kohaku. Once Rin was gone she would be the only person he trusted left in his palace. Smiling to himself he thought of her original form and how peaceful she looked floating in the wind after her heart had stopped. Looking back in the direction Sutefanii took off Sesshoumaru whispered "This is your second chance to kill Naraku, don't waste it Kagura of the wind."
