Sesshomaru:Airpeeps does not own Inuyasha..,..and there may be some OOC-ness in this chapter.
It was mid-morning, and Kikyo began to purify herself for the tasks that lie ahead. She had to ask the Tama a question.
"Kaede, could you get me the purification herbs?" Kikyo asked her little sister.
"Hai, Onee-chan!!" Kaede said.
When Kaede got to the the herb shack, she saw Inuyasha inside.
"Here are the herbs Kaede. She told me that she was going to purify herself today, so I thought I might as well help with what I can." Inuyasha said to the somewhat shocked Kaede, handing her the herbs that she came for.
"I see. So she told ye not to come near her, eh?" Kaede said, taking the herbs.
"Yeah, Uh….Could you give this to her as well?" Inuyasha said, handing her a rolled up piece of parchment.
"Hai, Inu-nii." Kaede said.
'Why does she insist on calling me older brother? I mean, it's obvious that I'm not…' Inuyasha thought, puzzled.
'Ye don't know why I call ye that, do ye, Inuyasha? You'll surely find out soon…hehe….' Kaede thought when she saw his puzzled expression.
"Dewa kore de, Inuyasha. She told me to remind you, if I saw you, don't come near her for at least a week, or until she comes for you." Kaede told him while walking away.
"Yeah, I know." Inuyasha replied.
When Kaede got back and handed Kikyo the herbs and he rolled up parchment, she said,
"Inu-nii told me to give this to ye, so here."
Kikyo took the herbs and the parchment.
"Kaede, you may leave now." Kikyo said.
"Hai, Onee-chan" kaede said, leaving Kikyo to he purification.
'I wonder what he wrote in this…' Kikyo thought while unrolling the parchment. It had the words, 'Good luck, my itoshii' on it.
'Oh, Inuyasha…' she thought as her face went soft, then determined.
'Right! Now I must purify myself, and quickly.' Kikyo then thought.
So she quickly ground the purification herbs and scattered them in the small onsen used for purification. She let that soak for a bit, then got undressed and let her hair down. She waded into the spring until she got to the very middle, where the water reached just below her neckline. She ducked underneath the water and stayed there for a few moments, then sprang back up. She put her hands together and started to chant the purification chant.
"Amu Dia Mo Kyorado Madomiri De Ko Dioku Ami Riekumosi. Da!!"
She chanted a chant similar to this for a few more minutes, then ducked under the water again, stayed there for a few minutes, then came back up. She closed her eyes and breathed deeply, for, she might have gone through the purification chant, the ritual was far from over. She must first cleanse her body before it's even half over. She knows that cleansing her body will take the rest of the day, so she gets started. Right after she had just finished washing her hair and her face, she heard a rustling sound.
"Be warned, if you don't make yourself known, you will b shot by my arrow." Kikyo said, grabbing her arrows and bow, also making sure that nothing of her body showed that didn't need to show.
"Don't get so worked up, Kikyo, It's only this Sesshomaru." Sesshomaru said.
'Why does he have to show up during my purification ritual?' Kikyo thought.
"Oh. Only you, Fluffy." Kikyo said, a bit relieved, because it wasn't someone that would attack her. His eyebrow twitched.
'Why does everyone call me that?!' Sesshomaru thought, a bit annoyed.
"So, I see you are purifying yourself. Has he finally taken you?" He asked, the amusement barely hidden by the expressionless mask that he always wears.
"No. I wanted to ask the Tama something, thus I must purify myself beforehand. I ask that you state your reason for coming here, so that I may get back to my purification." Kikyo stated, trying to get to the point.
"I have no need to state my affairs to you." He replied.
"Going to try to steal the tetsiaga again?" She asked, knowing all to well that's the reason.
"No, actually, I must warn him of something…." He said, trialing off.
'He's acting very strange…this must be very bad…' she thought.
"Um, wow. Are you actually worried? This must be very bad…" Kikyo said.
"I just have to pass a message on from someone who died…." He said.
"Oh, I see….who was it?" she asked.
"The young boy, Kohaku, the one that Inuyasha had trained, that could somehow use and perform a hanyou's moves,…and he's just a mere human …." Sesshomaru explained.
"Oh. I see. Go, then. Go and tell Inuyasha this." She said, wanting to get back to her ritual. He went to find Inuyasha, and she got back to her ritual.
'Hmm….I wonder where he is, that Inu-baka.' Sesshomaru thought, flying on his cloud, his silver-ish-blue hair trialing behind him, as well as his moka-moka, which is white, almost silver in color, and his bright amber eyes holding a coldness no other could have, or possess for that matter. When he arrived, Inuyasha, sensing him immediately, said,
"Sesshy-nii….what do you want?"
'Why does everyone call me either Fluffy or Sesshy?! I actually wouldn't mind Sessho….Do people ever have manners these days?' Sessho thought, even more annoyed.
"I came to tell you about Kohaku." Sessho said.
"What about im?" Inuyasha asked.
"He has died, and I didn't get to him quickly enough, even though tesnsiaga led me to him. His spirit told me to pass on a message." Sessho explained.
"What message?" Inuyasha said, a hint of sadness in his eyes.
"He wanted me to tell you that he had finally mastered the latest technique that you had taught him." Sessho said. When Inuyasha didn't say anything, he continued,
"He would've survived, if not for he fact that he hadn't eaten for a few days…..he was weak. He only had enough energy to keep the lowly yokai at bay, and he survived the battle, but died from his injuries."
"…I see…" Inuyasha said. After a few moments of silence, the taiyokai took his leave.
'Why is it that this Sesshomaru is acting so strange? I noticed it when I was talking to Inu-baka's wench. I wonder, has it anything to do with the feeling that something's going to happen soon?...But why would that make this Sesshomaru act strange?' Sessho thought, on his way back to where he left Jaken.
Kikyo sighed. She had finished cleansing herself, but the purification ritual was only half over. It was already sunset and she had to get to sleep as part of the ritual. So she got clothed, and walked to her house, where Kaede was already cooking dinner.
"Kaede, did you prepare the rice?" Kikyo asked.
"Hai, Onee-chan." Said Kaede as she handed her a bowl of plain white rice.
"Arigotou, my dear little sister." Kikyo said gratefully. The rice is part of the ritual, she must at nothing but rice for her meal, for it's considered pure when nothing's added. They eat in silence, and then go to bed.
When she wakes up the next morning, she realizes that her ritual is only half over. She gets up and gets dressed in miko garb, then eats her plain white rice. She goes out near the sacred tree, and meditates without any interruptions until lunch. She eats her rice, and goes out to the tree to meditate again. At dinner she ate her rice and went to bed thinking,
'It's over, now to ask the Tama the question.'
