Emerging Within The Dark

Chapter Four

Hidden Within The Cracks

By Inuyashas Youkai

The following day , while nursing off a headache from the alchohol consumed last night , Inuyasha enjoyed a day off from work while Sesshomeru , and Shippo since they didn't even get a buzz , but drank more than him , woke up early getting started on working on their little mystery ahead of him until the headache leaves in about oh maybe a hour left to go. As the hanyou was comforted within the dark , the other two were at work in the other room , while a seer / healer was with them looking over Shippo . By the time a hour later , when Inuyasha graced them with his presence the woman overlooking the teenage kit had finished , and was ready to state her findings, as her eyelids steadied from their constant flicker , while greeting each one with smile..

" Shippo , before I begin discussing with them as to what they might find , would you like to step out and take a quick break ? "

"Yes mam , thankyou .." The kit praised..

Once the kit left , both Inuyasha , and Sesshomeru were left to listen to Ieremiah, a sleek panther demoness who was their guide within Shippos sealed memories.

" Tell me , may I ask the reasons , as to why one would wish to seek out the visions that even the kit himself wishes to not recall .."

" I wish to seek out my intended , and know whether or not she's still alive.." Inuyasha softly but strictly stated .

" I can tell you that the woman hidden within the cracks still exists , only now she doesn't grace her presence upon this earth as the girl once had because Kagome isn't Shiorerynkai, and vise versa but remanants of the prior lives within the greater last , but the being she has become is one joined to something much larger than herself within the eternal chill.. Tell me what knowledge do you have of the vampire?" Ieremiah spoke ..

By the look Inuyasha gave to her displaying the expression of one capturing the sight of one emerging with a second head , but the slight pursing of the elder Sesshomeru's lips it was gathered the younger new very little , tho the elder gathered enough to know that this situation if not treaded upon carefully could be deadly for each party involved . Alas before either one could think on it Ieremiah interupted their thoughts ..

"Unfortunately prior to proceeding I must seek further counsel on these requests , not only due to it being disturbingly tragic in nature with regards to a vampire , but also because of its content being solely dependant on only one particular one in vividly cruel detail, and also because the signature weaved tightly within the sealing of these memories being a exact replica to the one displayed in my journey through what I could be allowed to see in Shippo's locked away memories ,thus tells me that it was she the very one you seek that had assisted the kit in sealing them away . Futhermore , stands as proof that at some point Shippo must've met with Shiorerynkai during some time after she was turned , but because the request was granted after these memories were gained , hense the wish for them to be forgotten by the kit , Shippo himself won't recall the exchange unless either one of the two asks for it , prior to the exchange " Ieremiah , explained ..

Bowing once the sleek black panther demoness , smiled , then started to take her leave , departing towards the kit awaiting outside , leaving the words trailing towards , and inside their ears ..

" Will be in touch my Lord's , I shall return in the coming days as I recieve a answer to your request . "

The demon brothers took comfort in the silence for a moment before their ambers found their twin image , mirroring back at them in solitude , as to gain strength for the known dangers ahead that lingered within the elders wiser eyes , and then like if speaking with the thoughts granting them respite within their slightly tattered minds , each one was able to listen to the other so that in concealment their concerns can be expressed through their bond being brothers..

" Brother from this point out I encourage you to use caution , and careful judgement when proceeding with this dangerous path laid out for us to follow, as it is my plead that at the end of it , it will be enough to ensue your intended's absolution .."

" Agreed . As do I .."
