War Between Spirits 3

A young teenage girl was walking down a deserted hall way looking a little more than lost. She was a new student in Umi Tama High, and right now she couldn't find her way to her first period class which was AP Trigonometry. She hated Trigonometry, but she had to take it because of her damn grades.

Making a right turn, the young girl found herself even more lost than before. Now she didn't even know where she should turn. But at a distance, she could hear voices.

"Maybe they could help me..." The girl, after a second, resolved in finding the voices and asking for help.

She walked down the hall and turned left at the end where she could hear the voices clearly from. But her choice to find the voices might have been unwise for the voices seemed like the trouble makers of the school.

Or a group of horney populars.

There was a tall silver haired guy making out with a black haired girl, well it was more like doing it with clothes on, there was a black haired guy making out with a short black haired girl, the young girl didn't want to see all that tongue, and there were a group of guys oggling a picture of a naked woman in a porn magazine.

Everyone in the hall way noticed the appearance of the young girl and the people making out didn't care, but the horney group of guys dropped the porn magazine and started to check her out. The girl quickly felt uncomfortable under their stares and made a mad dash away from the hall way. But she didn't even get to run because one guy with long black hair that was in a long braid with mezmorizing dark sapphire eyes grabbed her wrist, smiling seductively.

"Well, well, well. Where do you think your going, beautiful?" The young girl gulped hard and tried not to stare at the guy holding her wrist. He was hot, but didn't look nearly as hot as the silver haired man making out with that girl.

Too bad he doesn't look single.

"Um, I have to get to class..." The guy, however, thought otherwise.

"Tell me your name and I'll think about letting you go. My name's Bankostu..."

The young girl tried wretching her wrist free but Bankostu had a firm grip on her. "My name's Rin, could you please let me go now?"

"Hmm, Rin...such a cute name for a cute girl..." Rin knew now that this guy had less than decent intentions with her and wasn't about to let her go so easily.

Great, what have I gotten myself into? And its only first period!

"Please just let me go!" Bankostu smirked and crushed the young girl into his arms, feeling her slightly shake in fear of what he might do. He liked this girl, she was so gullible and innocent, and she had curves all in the right places. God damn, where had this girl been hiding?

"Tell me, Rin, would you rather go to your boring 'ol class, or would you rather have a good time with me, eh?"

"No, I rather go to class than be with the likes of you."

Rin gritted her teeth and kicked Bankostu where it hurts as hard as she could so that he would let go of her. Bankostu yelped and did let go of her enough for Rin to break free of his hold and run away.

The people who were making out looked up enough to see what was going on. They didn't care much though, but they found it amusing. However, that one guy, the silver haired one, looked pretty annoyed. Rin didn't know if it were because his make out session was interrupted or because Bankotsu was being an idiot.

The rest of the guys that were with Bankostu before ran to catch up with Rin while the braided guy caught hold of himself.

"Dammit! That girl kicks hard!" He growled out, doubled over on the floor. From a distance everyone could hear the screams of Rin for the guys to let go of her. They didn't heed her of course, they only brought her back to Bankotsu. The said guy growled once he felt like he could walk and marched up to where Rin was being held down.

"LET GO OF ME YOU...YOU...ARGH! I'M NOT WORTH YOUR TIME! LET GO!"

"Shut up wench, if you're lucky, you'd get to be with one of us instead." A black haired guy looking much like the who was making out with the short haired girl, Musou, said huskily. Rin looked at him in utter disgust before trying to break free again.

"EW I RATHER BE WITH A HOBO!"

"YOU BITCH!" Bankostu yelled.

He was angry as hell. So angry that he wanted to slap her. And he was.

Bankotsu raised his hand as so to hit her, but when he tried to a hand stopped him. Bewildered, he turned around to see that his silver haired...aquantaince, Sesshoumaru, had stopped him from inflicting harm upon the girl. Why he cared was a wonder to him.

"What are you doing! Let go of my hand!"

"If you harm her in any single way, I will make sure you go to hell painfully." Sesshoumaru said icily, gripping the human's hand tighter. Bankotsu hissed and promised not to hurt Rin. Although Rin didn't believe that and neither did Sesshoumaru. But she was grateful to him either way.

However, that didn't stop her from being scared. Oh hell she was scared of what may happen next. Why wasn't anyone helping her directly? Where were the teachers and the students? Heck the principal as well? Were they all just going to let her get...she didn't even want to think about it!

"I said I wont so let go of me already!"

"Bankotsu, do not harm her. I'm warning you, she is not worth you getting into even more needless trouble." Rin was torn in believing that her silver haired hero wanted to help her or was insulting her. But Bankotsu only growled at him and continued on what he was doing once Sesshoumaru actually did let go.

Bankotsu then looked in satsifaction as Rin looked to be in the border of mental pain and fear. He could smell the salt prickling her eyes and try to fall down. But he had to give the girl some credit. First of all she has a hard kick, second of all she dared to kick HIM, and third of all she was trying her hardest to be tough infront of his eyes. This girl was too good to be true.

"Tell you what. I'll forget what you did if you go out with me tonight. Deal?" Rin finally looked up, her eyes burning with anger, fear, and...tears.

Bankostu wiped away a tear that found its way down her cheek and licked it off his finger. Rin angrily turned away from him as a few tears rolled down her cheeks.

"If your tears taste good, then you must too," He heard the girl huff, but continued anyways, "But dont worry, if you go out with me I promise not to lay a hand on you. And if you dont..." The braid haired guy trailed a finger down Rin's neck and all the way down to the end of her shirt. The girl involuntarily shuddered at the light touch but still refused to look at him.

"What do you say?"

Rin meekly replied. "I-I cant trust you..."

"Oh but I swear to my mother's grave that I wont be a bad boy! I'll be on my best behavior so come on! Right guys I could be on my best behavior tonight?" All his friends nodded furiously, knowing that if they didn't, there would be hell to pay.

"Why dont you just take me now and save me the misery? Why go through all this just for me?" Rin turned her head towards the guy and stared into his eyes. He was being sincere, that much she could tell. But still...

"I dont know. There's something about you that attracts me to you...give me a chance girl, I could be good..."

What should I do? Loose my dignity or go on a date with him?

After a minute of silence, Rin decided that she would accpet his offer. Only because it sounded better than getting it on with him...in a school no less. But how did she know he would do just that tonight? Simple, she didn't know. Yet Rin will be on her guard and bring a weapon just in case. You could never be too careful.

It took ten minutes for the guys to release her and Rin took off, running as if her life depended on it. She glanced behind her for a second just to get a good look at the silver haired guy. His eyes were gorgeous, a dark gold that could hypnotize any girl he wanted. But right now, she had to focus herself on running away.

Bankotsu would track her down, right to where she lived, but it didn't matter. She hated her home anyways. As soon as the date was over, she was going to run away from home. Not only because of Bankostu, but because even her foster father wanted to get it on with her. It was down right disgusting to Rin.

All of it.

-XxX-

Inuyasha and his friends finally arrived at his home...mansion or whatever people would call his living quarters that was bigger than the average home. Not so big that it took up like 40 acres of land, but big enough to be considered a very, very nice home. And the best thing about it was that only he, his mother, and his brother lived in it, excluding the rooms given to Shippo and Miroku for when they slept over.

The three friends entered the mansion and Inuyasha sniffed out his mother. She was in the living room, seemingly waiting for them to arrive. Typical.

"Well, we're here." Izayoi turned around and nodded to her son for him and his friends to take a seat. At that moment the door opened and Sesshoumaru stepped through the door, looking to be in deep thought.

"In the living room, dear."

Even though Sesshoumaru didn't want to regard Izayoi as his mother, the woman insisted to treat him like her son. She was very kind to him, not that he would admit it, and made him feel right at home, unlike his own mother. That's part of the reason why at the age of nearly nineteen he hadn't moved out of the house yet.

Once the four guys were seated some where in the living room, Izayoi saw it fit to begin an explanation of today's events. It was going to be a long one, so that was why she had asked for them to sit down.

"Alright, now that everyone's here, I'll begin. First off, who had a strange dream last night involving people that said they were your pre-incarnations?" The three juniors raised their hands, Shippo a little enthusiastically, and Sesshoumaru just nodded.

"Good. Now, has anyone felt a sudden jolt today when you touched someone from the opposite sex?" Inuyasha and Shippo raised their hands and Izayoi nodded.

"Do you know what happened?"

"Yup."

"Sure."

"Ok then. Do I have to explain it to any of you?"

"Nope."

"Not likely."

"Dont think so."

"No."

Izayoi smiled and wiped her forehead, happy that there was one less thing that she had to explain.

"Since you all say that you know what happened I'm just going to go through the background information. Let me start all the way from the beginning. About seven hundred years ago, a human miko princess, named Izayoi, fell in love with a dog demon lord, Inutaisho, who had a son named Sesshoumaru that was cold and bitter towards the world." At this, Sesshoumaru perked up and payed attention to the story. Hey, if he wanted to learn more about the person in his dream, then he'd have to pay attention.

"Anyways, the princess and the demon lord soon mated and had a son that was a half demon. His name was Inuyasha." Then Inuyasha, who was lounged across the sofa seemingly not caring at all, sat up straight at the mention of his name.

"Shortly after Inuyasha was born, however, the demon lord was severly wounded by a dragon demon named Ryuukotsusei and then died fighting with a close friend of the princess, Takemaru of Setsuna."

"The oldest son grew even colder with the death of his father since he died protecting a human and a half demon, and therefore wanted nothing to do with such disgraces. He threatened to kill them both if they didn't leave his castle at once. The princess obliged and fled with her son to her home village where they were both scorned and badly mistreated by the villagers. It grew so bad to the point where the princess sacrificed her life to save her son."

"Years later, Inuyasha, who was hardened from the many hardships in being alone and hated, met a powerful miko named Kikyou. After only a few encounters with her, he fell in love, and she to him. However, they were never meant to be. A human man that was severly injured had fallen in love with Kikyou as well, and gave his soul to a hord of demons, creating an evil half demon named Naraku." Everyone remembered the name being mentioned in their dreams and payed even more attention to the story.

"Soon, Naraku played a trick on both Kikyou and Inuyasha, making them believe that they betrayed one another only because he wanted a very powerful jewel called the Jewel of Four Souls or the Shikon Jewel, created by a powerful miko named Midoriko, for himself. Kikyou, thinking she was betrayed by her lover, but was wounded really because of Naraku's wants, pinned Inuyasha to a tree in revenge, forcing him to fall into a deep slumber as she died in the arms of her younger sister Kaede."

"Fifty years later, a young girl named Kagome," Inuyasha growled involuntarily at the name, "fell into a well and ended up five hundred years in the past, in other words, the Feudal Era. She, only a fifteen year old junior high school girl from the future, woke Inuyasha from his deep sleep and that's how their journey together started."

"Kagome learned that she was the reincarnation of the miko Inuyasha had fallen in love with and possesed miko powers. And because Naraku was still alive, and sent a crow demon to retrieve the jewel, Kagome broke the jewel into many shards using one of her arrows. This now meant that she and Inuyasha had to go all over Japan to find them and purify the jewel."

Inuyasha wouldn't put it past Kagome, she was always kind of a clutz.

"Along the way, the two met new friends. First came a young fox demon named Shippo, a kit that had lost his parents because of two thunder brothers, Hiten and Manten." Shippo looked up, and wondered about how he hated those two so much. They always picked on him, they were annoying. Seems like he wasn't the only one who thought so.

"Then came Miroku, a monk with a cursed right hand because of Naraku, a wind tunnel in it to be exact. If Miroku didn't hurry to kill Naraku, then his right hand would suck him up, just like it had done to his father and the fathers before him." Miroku looked thoughtful, remembering how his pre-incarnation had told him that little factor in his dream. It seemed so sad. Good thing he didn't inherit that.

"And lastly, came a demon slayer named Sango who wanted revenge against Naraku for murdering her family and taking her brother as a mindless pet. She also had a small fire neko youkai as her companion named Kirara." Shippo's eyes brightened at the name Kirara, and Inuyasha smacked him on the head for drooling on the couch. Miroku, however, just had to look away when Izayoi had said Sango. Sango and him...well they, like Inuyasha and Kagome, hadn't shared many happy memories.

"Together, the five ventured out to find all the shards and get their revenge on Naraku. However, things didn't go according to plan. Well, most of it did."

"Inuyasha fell in love with Kagome, and the two mated after they had seemingly defeated Naraku and found all the shards. Miroku had finally wooed Sango into marrying him, Shippo grew up, and even Sesshoumaru had found happiness." The dog demon looked up at the word happiness. That word didn't seem to fit him well.

It felt...strange.

"Years before the defeat of Naraku, Sesshoumaru saved a young girl named Rin from death using his sword the Tenseiga, a healing sword. Yet he still coveted the sword his father intrusted to his half brother, the Tetsusaiga, a sword able to kill a hundred lives. But that's besides the point. Rin followed him around everywhere, and he let her. After the defeat of Naraku, Rin was old enough to become his mate, and she did."

Izayoi sighed as she saw the look on Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha's faces. This wasn't going to be good.

"Well, everyone was happy. Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha finally decided on a truce, Rin was pregnant, and Kagome and Inuyasha were freely time traveling from his era to hers. However, little did they know that Naraku was still out there."

"One by one they started to die. It first started with Kirara. One morning she was just dead, no one knew what had happened to her. Sango and Rin both died at the same time because of some sort of poison. When Sesshoumaru sniffed them, it was Naraku's miasma. Lastly, Kagome died. Inuyasha found her by the Goshinboku. Her death was unexplainable, except for the spider mark burned on her and the looks of sheer horror on her face."

"The four remaning friends grew insane with the deaths of their loved ones. They heard voices telling them to end the pain. And so...they did."

The four guys stared at each other in bewilderment at the very long story that was told to them. They couldn't believe that almost everyone they knew were most likely reincarnations of the people in the story.

"So...any questions so far?" None of the boys answered for they thought everything was made very clear to them. Izayoi sweat dropped and said ok under her breath.

"Well, moving on. I didn't think this would happen until you all were at least eighteen, with the exception of Sesshoumaru, but you four are the reincarnations of Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru, Miroku, and Shippo from the story I just told you. Since the jewel broke into four parts and the four souls in you were trapped inside them, you all must end the war over the spirits and lay the souls that are in you to rest. With the jewel still present, and Naraku still alive, the souls of your pre-incarnations will not rest until what they had quested for is finally over and gone off the face of the Earth. And I guess that's most of it. Oh wow, it's raining really hard outside." Izayoi said staring out the window.

Inuyasha kehed at how fast his mother could change a topic. She always did it when she was talking about something so important that she wanted to lighten up the mood. It never ceased to amaze him.

"Man, I cant get home like this! Well, I guess that means I'll have to sleep over again..." Shippo said, feigning to be sad at that fact. Izayoi rolled her eyes and chuckled, nodding to answer his implied question. She also nodded to Miroku who was also going to ask the same question.

"I'm going for a walk."

No one questioned Sesshoumaru as he walked towards the door and out into the rain without so much as an umbrella. It was something that he liked to do when things weighed heavy on his mind. There was nothing more refreshing than a nice September rain shower. Not to mention he had actually said what he was going to do instead of just leaving like he'd normally do.

Izayoi sighed as she heard the soft slam of the front door. There was no getting through to that kid, she didn't know why both her sons, or son and step son, aquired such traits from their father. That man...it had been an all out war on which type of food was best for him. It was simple. Vegtables or Beef. Which was the healthiest? The vegtables of course but Inutaisho would have none of it.

"Ok..." Shippo inquired as the room grew too silent for his liking. The only thing that was heard was the hard rain drops falling on the house...mansion...whatever.

"Shit! I forgot about my guitar! Now we cant practice!" Inuyasha suddenly yelled out of now where, looking horrified. The other two looked equally devastated and Izayoi wondered why.

"Watch your language young man," Inuyasha mumbled a sorry and Izayoi just shook her head, "And what do you mean? Dont you have the guitar that your father gave you?"

Inuyasha growled to himself at the memory. "That wimpy wolf Kouga threw it on the floor. It's broken beyond repair. I need a new one 'cause Shippo's girl," that earned a weak protest from the fox demon, "asked us to play for her party."

"Oh dear. That's such a pity, that was your father's favorite guitar. I remember all the times when we were younger that he would not put that thing down. -sigh- The things these kids do these days. But dont worry my son, I have another one for you."

The three juniors looked confused as they followed Inuyasha's mother down to the basement. Once in the basement, Izayoi led them to a door that was always locked so Inuyasha never knew what was in there. There was a hidden key behind a loose brick on the wall and Izayoi opened the door to let all the boys in. What they saw amazed them.

It was like a band sanctuary in there. There were four electric guitars hanged on the wall, three electric bass guitars, two drum sets that were set up infront of the guitars, two acoustic guitars, amplifiers, any thing they named and it was there! Why, oh why, hadn't they known of this before hand!

"What...What is this!" Inuyasha exclaimed venturing into the room to look at the guitars closely. These guitars were way better than the one he had before!

"This is heaven!" Shippo also exclaimed as he admired one beautiful drum set that was set up. He wanted so much to see how nice they sounded...

"These guitars must have cost a fortune! And they're so rare too...I think they're not made anymore!" Miroku said as he observed the guitars closely. Nope, they weren't made anymore. At least not in Asia.

"Well...all of these belonged to Inutaisho's band. It was all given to me when he passed away." There was a sad tone to her statement, but she shrugged it off with a smile.

"Anything you see here is yours."

"WHAT?!" The three guys absolutely loved the idea, but what?!

"I have no use for them, and since it will go to hands of teens who understand good music like Inutaisho's band did, then I guess you three are more then welcome to have it."

The three ran over to Izayoi and crushed her into a bear hug before running around the room, looking at all the stuff that would be used. Izayoi giggled at their antics, it were as if they were kids in a candy shop.

So much candy but so little time!

A/N: Done. Bye bye!
