Hey I'm back with another chapter, ok so I asked in my last chapter who everyone would like to see Yuzuki paired with Ginta, Hakkaku or Koga and I have asked around at home at the moment it looks like it's heading towards Ginta being Yuzuki's mate, I'm not pairing them just yet I feel like that would be just to early in the story to do that. Just another disclaimer I own none of the Inuyasha characters or Inuyasha plots but I do however own my own story line with a lot of helpful ideas and wants from my viewers and of course Yuzuki (Hanyo wolf/water sorceress), Raven (Wolf demon 'bad guy'), Ryuu (water dragon).
Chapter 4: Yuzuki's feelings
My consciousness came back and pain shoot through my body, I groaned "Dam it…" I cursed "Yuzuki? Sango she's coming too can you get the others" Kagome's voice "Ok" Sango's voice "I don't think that's wise their washing up in a hot spring, Kirara and I will go and tell them" Shippo's voice "Ah that may be best, be careful" Sango's voice. I fluttered my eyes open "What happened? Is everyone ok?" I ask as I try to sit up seeing that we were still in the cave "No Yuzuki you're not yet recovered, you shouldn't move" Kagome said as she sat next to me placing her hand on my forehead "You still have a fever" Kagome said again "Here this will help" Sango says as she hands Kagome a wet face washer. "Would you guys help me get to a hot spring or somewhere so I can wash up?" I asked "Sure after the guys get back we'll go, are you sure you want to move so soon?" Kagome replied, I nodded my head and closed my eyes again "That bastard, he'll pay…" I cursed. I don't think I've ever cursed this much in my life "Yuzuki! Yuzuki!" multiple voices came from the entrance "What is she doing siting up?" Koga's voice "I told her not to move but she wouldn't listen" Kagome's voice "What an idiot?" Inuyasha's voice. "Tch… Watch your mouth I've already been pissed off once" I said as I opened my eyes to look at him and gave him an icy stare "What are you looking at me like that for?" Inuyasha asked "Because you're the idiot here, traveling around in search of Naraku and didn't even know Naraku was spying on you all the time, I know Naraku has done something to everyone here but you who was deceived first should know better…" I puffed and tried to stand. "And how would you know that?" Inuyasha barked "It's not that hard to figure out from them mentioning your name first, and Naraku wanting to enjoy your death more then anyone else's here... You are Naraku's first victim, so figure out what you did and we might have a chance at finding his weak spot" I replied Inuyasha growled and was about to say something else.
"Inuyasha leave her be, she's suffered enough" Miroku said placing his hand on Inuyasha's shoulder, I stood up and felt pain run through my body, Kagome and Sango were at either side of me and helped me walk "Where are you going? You're still wounded stupid" Inuyasha said "I'm going to wash up, not everyone deserves to smell as bad as you Inuyasha" I said Inuyasha just growled back. Kirara was still in her big form standing at the edge of the cave "Hey wait up I'm coming too" Shippo said as Sango got on first, I got on second and Kagome last with Shippo on her shoulder "Let's go Kirara" Sango said, and we took off into the air. Kirara took us to the hot springs, where the guys were just at, when we got there Kagome and Sango helped me down off Kirara we all got undressed and dipped in to the hot springs, we sat soaking in the water for a while I relaxed and closed my eyes for a bit while Kagome, Sango and Shippo talked, Kirara stood guard. About twenty minutes later we hoped out got dried and dressed though our hair was still a bit wet, "Before we go back you should let me take a look at the cut on your leg" Kagome said "Uh ok…" I replied and sat down on a rock as she unwound the bandage on my leg "Wow" Kagome said in shock "That looked bad earlier this morning, but it's almost healed up now" Sango said "Yeah I think you heal faster than Inuyasha" Shippo said. "Well I am a hanyo so it's to be excepted that we heal quick just like demons" I said "We should get back" Sango said as she hopped on Kirara, Kirara growled it was scent a scent of a wolf demon, Raven's scent "Kagome leave this stuff…" I said picking Kagome up and put her on Kirara while Shippo clung to Kagome "Get to the cave, and tell Koga, Ginta and Hakkaku that Raven's back hurry… Get them out of here Kirara" I said, Kirara leaped into the sky "No Yuzuki!" Kagome yelled.
I turned around and tried to pick up where he's scent was coming from, dam it where is he, suddenly he appeared and picked me up and ran off "Haha got you now wench!" Raven shouted in victory "Let me go Raven or you'll be sorry!" I yelled "Pft whatever, like you can do anything" Raven replied he took me out to a clearing and dropped me on the ground. He quickly placed his hands over my wrists and pressed his legs over mine so I had no way out "Your mine now…" Raven chuckled "Koga! Ginta! Hakkaku! Help!" I screamed "Hah scream all you like, but you're not getting away from me this time" Raven said with a smirk. He pressed his lips against mine furiously "Yuzuki!" I heard familiar voices call out from a distance far off, I head-butted Raven he fell on his side pressing a hand to his forehead as I scrambled to my feet "Koga! Ginta! Hakkaku! Help!" I yelled again as I tried to run but he pinned my down again. "Wench! You'll pay for that!" Raven yelled with a wild murderous look in his eyes he growled and pressed his lips to mine harder and lusted for more but he pulled away, no more like was torn away from me. "You are Raven I presume" Kagura said floating on her feather "You're coming with me Naraku has business with you" Kagura said again "Huh? Naraku? Like I care, I don't know him and don't want to do business with him I already have made a deal with someone, so get lost wench I have to deal with this woman" Raven growled.
I started to shiver in fear "Don't ignore me wolf! And you will leave Yuzuki alone!" Kagura yelled "Like you could stop me!" Raven snapped back with a smug grin Kagura's eyes narrowed and she started to raise her fan "Dance of the Dragon!" Kagura shouted as a couple of whirl-winds came his way cutting past him flinging him about like a rag doll. Raven laid badly injured on the ground Kagura went down and picked Raven up and placed him on the feather "Kagura… Thank you" I said Kagura looked at me "I didn't do it for you, plus if you're going to fight anyone I'd rather it be me, you're a worthy opponent but nothing more…" Kagura replied and took off with Raven. Seeing Kagura fly off I felt a pain from my leg, looking down at my leg I could see my wound had opened up again I held my hand over the wound and applied pressure, as tears flowed from my eyes, why am I always ending up getting hurt and crying I hate it, I hate the fact that the only thing strong about me is my water sorcery. "Yuzuki!" I heard voices cry out for me but I couldn't turn around I couldn't bare to face them, I felt blood seep through my fingers and run down my leg Koga, Ginta and Hakkaku came by my side "Yuzuki where's Raven? What happened?" Koga fired questions I couldn't say anything I just sat there. Kagura saved me even though she won't admit it and she said that it was only because she wanted me to be her only opponent but I think she cares but why though? She follows orders from Naraku but another thing I can't understand why does Naraku want Raven? But I was sure he was planning something terrible.
"Yuzuki answer me!" Koga yelled "Koga don't yell at her she's been through a lot" Hakkaku says "Kagura came…" I said softly "Kagura?" they all repeated "Why? What did she want?" Koga growled "She saved me from Raven" I replied. "Kagura saved you… Well I'm glad she did" Ginta says "Glad... You're glad Kagura saved her you do remember it was Kagura who killed our comrades" Koga said harshly "I haven't forgotten but Kagura did just save Yuzuki's life" Ginta replies. "She's our enemy not our friend and she will die along with Naraku, don't you forget what side you're on" Koga growls "Oh shut up Koga! Stop treating them like that… In fact stop treating everyone like that, no one should be talked down to like that!" I yelled at him tears still running down my face, Koga's eyes widen and looks at me in shock. "Ginta, Hakkaku can you help me back to the cave please" I asked they nodded as they each came to either side of me, I put my arm around each of their shoulders and they held my hand with one hand and their other arm around my waist helping me to walk Koga followed behind silently I may have been a bit harsh but it's the truth. As we were mid-way to the cliff more pain shot through my leg I scrunched up my face in pain as I continued to walk "You know if you keep walking on that leg you're going to make it worse" Koga said I frowned "Koga it's my body so don't tell me what to do" I replied. Koga is right though its agony right now to even apply the slightest bit of pressure, we eventually got to the cliff face and I formed a water platform "What's that for?" Koga asked "To take us down, it's safe I assure you, I wouldn't do anything that would put you guys in danger" I replied as we all walked on the platform. I could see Ginta and Hakkaku were a bit nervous being able to see through the water platform below us, I gentle squeezed their hands "It's ok I won't let anything happen to you guys, trust me" I said softly they both looked at me and smiled with a slight nod of their head.
The platform took us down and we walked in, I made the water platform go back into the water "Yuzuki! Your wound it opened again" Kagome said as ran over to me "Stupid what were you thinking you should have gone with Kagome and Sango back here" Inuyasha barked. Ginta and Hakkaku helped me sit down and Kagome sat beside me to treat my wound Koga was still angry at me and I knew I was to blame, how could I not be Koga has saved my life a few times already, a debt I might never be able to repay, tears rolled down my face "Yuzuki are you ok? Is the wound that painful?" Kagome asked "No I'm ok, don't mind me" I replied and looked away. A few minutes later Kagome had given a sigh of relief "I'm finished now if you don't do too much walking around you should be right by tomorrow morning" Kagome said "Thanks but I think there's a debt I have to repay and the quicker I repay my debt the less trouble I'll be for all of you…" I said as I got up and sat at the edge of the cave staring down at the water. Suddenly someone grabbed me and picked me pining me against the wall, it was Inuyasha "What are you doing mutt let her go!" Koga yelled "Shut up! This is a hanyo thing so stay out of it!" Inuyasha barked back, Inuyasha glared at me "Look Yuzuki you get your act together, you and I both now being a hanyo involves things that no demon or human can understand and I know you better than you think…. You taught me something that night before you turned human something I'll never forget and you inspired me, you brought out a side of me I didn't know I had, you're special not just cause of your appearance or your abilities but because you're the first hanyo I've meet that actually who is willing to die for what they believe in, for what is right no matter the cost" Inuyasha said I looked at him and swear I could see tears forming. "Inu-yasha…" I said "Don't get mushy on me! Look you're a hanyo but just because you're different it doesn't make you a monster, Yuzuki you fight for everyone, even though you're not physically strong and that's what makes you better than any demon, human or hanyo including me out there, so I want you never to give up because if you do, I'll have no one to look up too… You give not only me hope but everyone hope Yuzuki so don't stop fighting for what you believe in" Inuyasha said again.
Inuyasha gently put me on the ground and turned his back on me "And don't think this means were friends just because of that…" Inuyasha spat out, a slight smile crossed my face "Yuzuki can we talk?" Koga says as he approaches me I nod "Of course" I replied. Koga crouched down "Hope on" Koga said I didn't argue and did as he said, he jumped out of the cave and ran up the cliff face at amazing speed as we got to the top he crouched down to let me off, as I hoped off Koga stared out across the horizon "Yuzuki, I know you can't stand anyone being picked on or hurt but leaders have to do what they need too, to have order and to keep that order…" Koga said "I know and I'm sorry for everything I've said it must be hard on you being the leader and I was thinking of how Ginta and Hakkaku were feeling and yet didn't stop to think how you felt before talking, so I'm sorry… I don't what it's like in a pack and when you first saved me and said you'd take me to my father I didn't know how to respond to that because I don't know a thing about him, the only thing I've ever known is helping people in need weather that meant getting in trouble myself" I said cut Koga off. Koga turned to look at me "Yuzuki… I promise that I won't let anything happen to you and I will keep to that promise, it's like Inuyasha said you are special, and I know Ginta and Hakkaku care for you very much so in saying that I realise you are right, I shouldn't hurt my pack in an emotional or physical way but in saying that how do I reclaim order" Koga said I smiled "You know you could always use verbal threats they work" I said. Koga laughed "Verbal threats huh? Let me guess you've tried it before" Koga replies with a smile "A couple times, most the time they work" I said "Ha, well I suppose I'll give it a shot then, we should get back" Koga said. Koga crouched down and I hoped on his back "Koga?" I said "Hmm?" He replied gazing back at me "Thanks for everything, letting me into the pack and being able to travel with you even if it is just until I help you destroy Naraku, I promise I'll do my very best to repay my debts to you" I said with a smile, I could have sworn I saw a light blush cross his face.
Koga jumped back down to the cave, when we got back down he crouched down to let me off, I hoped off and Koga immediately went over to Kagome, "Hey what are you doing? Don't lay a hand on Kagome I thought with that blush on your face something happened up there between you two!" Inuyasha barked. "Inuyasha nothing happened" I replied "Bah yeah right! Like I'd believe you!" Inuyasha snapped, as Inuyasha went over to Koga, a frown crossed my face and I picked up a rock and threw it at him. The rock hit him in the back of the head "Jerk!" I yelled everyone stared at the tension between us "Ok that's it I hate being the good guy towards you… It's time to see what you're really made off!" Inuyasha yelled my eyes widened as he charged at me, suddenly Inuyasha fell to the ground, "Hah got him" Shippo yelled and burst out laughing "Nice work Shippo" I said with a smile. "So you're on her side now huh? Then I'll take you down as well" Inuyasha said "Sit!" Kagome yelled and Inuyasha crashed into the ground again, I went to go sit by the edge off the cave and Sango came over and sat by me "Yuzuki I was wondering where did you grow up? What part of the region are you from?" Sango asked "Oh tell me too! I want to know all about where you grew up!" Shippo yelled excitedly which attracted everyone's attention. "Ah well I was born in cave in the southern lands my father and mother were happy but for some reason my father left only a few days after my birth and mother was left to go back to her village with me, so I grew up in one of the small villages there, though the villagers weren't happy about my mother coming back especially with me a new born hanyo but I learnt to get over the name calling and bulling, when I was a bit older around six the villagers had enough and heard of other villages in the southern land being attacked and said it was our fault… My mother told me to run but didn't say why while running away I heard her screams as they killed her, I don't blame the villagers… If they'd given me a chance maybe things could have been different but unfortunately hanyo's don't get that sort of chance" I told them sadly.
"Yuzuki I'm sorry I shouldn't have asked…" Sango said as I looked around at everyone they gave me a look of pity, I smiled "Don't be silly, I knew someone would ask eventually so it's ok" I replied "What about your father? Have you ever caught up with him?" Shippo asked. "Unfortunately no, I don't know his name nor what tribe he is from only that my mother loved him dearly until her very last breath, so he must have been a good man at heart" I replied "But he left you and your mother when you were a new born what kind guy does that?" Inuyasha barks I shook my head "Inuyasha there are rules in wolf clans, he probably had important things to do, he was probably needed… But I know if cared for my mother enough to stay by my mother at my birth that's enough for me to say he cared, if not for me then for my mother" I replied. "Master Inuyasha! Thank goodness I finally found you!" a voice said I looked around "What was that?" I ask Inuyasha held his hand out and a flea jumped on his hand "Myoga long time no see, so what's the special occasion?" Inuyasha asks "Well Lord Inuyasha there was a mysterious black cloud about in the far off in a southern village, I didn't stay for long but I saw someone conjuring up something wicked I couldn't identify the person, sorry master…" Myoga said. "Southern village huh? Any land marks you could identify Myoga?" I asked the flea turned around and looked at me "It was surrounded by forest and there was a lake nearby I believe" Myoga replied "Thanks, leave this one to me" I said I placed my hand on the ground and hovered a ball of water in the air like last time. I concentrated on where the village was that was in trouble and placed my hand on the water ball it transformed into the forest lands and near it was a lake, we could see Naraku there killing villagers, "Naraku" Miroku said "He's slaughtering all the villagers" Sango added. Naraku he's destroying everything and killing everyone but he's there by himself why? I saw him look around constantly, he's looking for something though but what? I gazed around the area and then saw a familiar place, a cave that was on the other side of the lake, I gasped and drop the water, it splashed to the ground as I trembled.
Ok so that's chapter 4 I hope you enjoyed it, I would love to hear more reviews and thanks to all the people of have commented so far if there's anything you want me to add to spice things up don't hesitate to let me know, and I don't mind if you write a whole paragraph for a review or just a couple words... I was also thinking of added maybe a couple of sirens or mermaids/mermen in the story later so let me know what you think and the vote for who will be Yuzuki's mate is still ongoing Ginta? Hakkaku? or Koga?.
