DISCLAIMER- I don't own Inuyasha however I do own Anya and the other original characters in this story so PLEASE don't stealChapter three- Naraku(A few days later)Anya sat in the study looking over papers from the other rulers. She had informed everyone including them a few days ago that there was a new unknown threat. She had mentioned that it had attempted to kill her but she had kept that she had died and was revived to herself as well as she may know the identity of the enemy.
She had also told Nami that she had to stay in the castle grounds and not venture out of the barrier unless she was with her. If Onigumo was behind all this then there was no doubt he could try and target Nami to get to Anya.
Hiroki walked into the room and saw Anya still at the desk in deep thought and sighed. She had not left this room in days other than to change and wash up. Nami would bring her food whenever it was lunch or dinner, Anya rarely ate breakfast.
"Anya, you need sleep," he said walking up to her.
"No I don't," she replied stubbornly as she looked at another paper.
"Look I know you have a lot on your mind: the new threat, Inuyasha's death-,"
"What's your point Hiroki?" Anya asked sounding annoyed, if not angered by the mention of Inuyasha.
"You can't blame yourself for what's happened Anya and it seems this is way over your head especially if your sleep deprived," Hiroki said. Anya stood up so abruptly that the chair she was sitting on had nearly fallen to the ground.
"I'm fine Hiroki! I know exactly what I'm up against! Onigumo will pay for what he caused!" Anya yelled not realizing the name she let slip. She had not told anyone that Onigumo was involved.
"Onigumo?" Hiroki asked but Anya didn't answer him. Instead she just left the room and the castle, needing some fresh air.
She had originally thought Onigumo dead after she had heard an enemy had pretty much blown up the place Onigumo was staying. She couldn't remember exactly where but she did remember going to the site a few days later to see the damage.
Then not long after she was on patrol when she heard that witch Kikyo and her sister Kaede walking and talking about something.
"Shouldn't you tell Inuyasha sister?" Kaede had asked. "No, Inuyasha does not need to know," Kikyo answered.
They had come to a cave and when Anya peeked in she saw a badly burned man bandaged and laying on a blanket. She would not of recognized him if not for the scent; Onigumo! He had survived!
Anya was angered by this and wanted to tell Inuyasha right away but on her way, she had gotten word an enemy clan was coming to attack, and she had to get to battle. Why she had never gone later to kill that man, she would never know.
Anya sighed as she kept getting lost in her thoughts. She leaned against a tree when she got to a clearing and looked at the sky. She remembered when she was little and traveled with Inuyasha and she would spend hours watching the clouds. She smiled, so lost in memories that she did not hear someone approach.
"Still alive are we Aleksandra?" Anya jumped up and turned at the sound of her true name. She never went by that name since her mother died. Sesshomaru had called her it when she was young and training and no one had known that 'Anya' was really just her middle name. But one person had heard Sesshomaru call her it once and that once person had later attacked her…
"Onigumo," she growled as she looked at the person wearing what looked like a baboon outfit. But she knew by the voice who it was.
"Oh my dear I do not go by that name anymore much like you don't go by the name Aleksandra," he said with a sinister laugh.
"What the hell do you want?" Anya growled and she stood straight, ready to attack.
"I am very surprised to see how beautiful you've grown up to be, though you were always a pretty one, even as a young girl," he said ignoring Anya's demand. Anya knew he was trying to anger her, to attack, but she knew that he was not human by his scent.
She slowly backed up as Onigumo stepped forward. He gave a dark laugh and stopped in his tracks.
"Are you scared of me Anya? It is out of character for you not to fight," he said. Anya swallowed and stood her ground.
"What do you want?" she said louder, keeping her voice powerful. Instead Onigumo just laughed and a strange tentacle came out from under the robe and Anya jumped, barely missing it.
'What is he?' Anya shouted in her mind as she continued dodging attacks. She couldn't get close because of all the tentacles that had appeared. Then a strange mist formed around them as Anya hit the ground, coughing and holding her throat. The wind picked up as Naraku laughed.
"What are you Onigumo?" Anya choked out angrily as she tried to breathe through the mist.
"I told you Anya, I do not go by that name anymore," he said as he levitated into the air.
"I am Naraku," he laughed as he disappeared and the clearing once again became a peaceful area again. Anya stood able to breathe again and looked around but seeing that she was all alone.
Review! I'm sorry this is so short I tried my best. Until next time read and review!
