Broken Hearts , Rivers Of Crimson , Streams Of Regret

~ Chapter Six ~

Calmed By The Blade

Once , Kagome had placed the finishing touches to the bandaging of her wound , quickly then soon headed back to where she had left the flea with the two talking blades when a hum started to surface , and wrapping around her. Shaking her head , as she went with the knowledge that she had to be losing it because the things that were happening just didn't happen , at least to anyone in their right mind. As soon as the young woman had entered the old shed to face the three waiting for her , and just before she had , Kagome took a deep breath , just knowing that she was entering her own hell in the making.

" Kagome! How are you feeling ?" Myoga came round to sample a taste of her blood ..

"Must you keep doing that ? Its fucking annoying , haven't we told you time and time again that it isn't something that we would call enjoyable ya know ?"

"What do you mean , Kagome when you said we ..? Do you remember Master Inuyasha just now..?"Myoga stated happily.

"No who's he ? What are you talking about , I never said we ?"Kagome sputtered.

"Miss Kagome , um excuse me by saying this .. I mean no harm , but you had indeed said we ? I am merely curious as to whom you were referring too?" Tetsuseiga's sheath rumbled , as the image of the male claimng its seal , then spoke.

"If I did It was accidental , I assure you because all I know is what I always have , and none of it contains anything that reminds me that I ever met a Inuyasha ..I am sorry..." Kagome apologized.

"No need to apologize Kagome , the reason why things are the way they are wasn't your doing but by Inuyasha himself in order to save you from meeting you quickly approaching demise by the hands of Naraku, but the reason I would assume that you don't remember , or that this time is the way it is was a indirect result of the wish upon the Shikon No Tama, made by the one whom loves you , and the rightful carrier of this sword. I can say this because I was with Inuyasha the day that it happened Kagome, but since I am here , and my master is not , I will become yours for the moment while we seek out the answers of how to correct it, because your place in time isn't here it , its there to the place that you don't remember" Tetsu , the spirit of Tetsuseiga's let itself be known..

"But why ? I mean If I was meant to be there why would this Inuyasha if he loved me so much wish me away ?" Kagome spat frustratedly , as she became more and more confused.

" Tetsu is speaking the truth , Kagome .. I can't tell you why for certain as to how I know , but because we were once used as one , the bonds that all three swords share lingers the truth that you are hearing now, for I see the same thing as that of the Tetsuseiga...Though to answer your question , Inuyasha wanted to save you , because he couldn't stand to live withe the fact that you had passed so he did what he felt was right , and it sent you back here, but just seeing that you are here in this timeline the way it is now proves that you don't belong here.." Saiya , the spirit seal from Sounga informed.

Kagome stood frozen still , before letting herself shaking on her knees , as she had now discovered with their words that she didn't belong where she was, and where she did, for the life of her couldn't remember. Soon her shocked bout of sublime blankness was interupted by the sound of something being dragged along the wooden surface of the rugged floor, and her eyes then found one of the swords laying across her knees , with that of Myoga holding it slighty to her , as it was too heavy for him to lift it anymore, before she took it. Though , as soon as Kagome had taken the blade within her fingertips, the vibrating hum within its sheath had flowed outwards to comfort her.

Tears then passed down her rosey cheeks , dropping to the crevaces within the battered surface , as fear of the unknown soon made its way to the surface..

"You have nothing have nothing to fear Kagome, because I am with you I will protect you , and Inuyasha as well through me ..You will never be alone , as long as you never let go of the hold upon me that you possess at this moment.." Tetsu sang happily relishing the soft touch of his master's intended ..

~ Into A Time , Forgotten ~

Shippo, Sango ,Miroku , and Kirara , with Inuyasha had ventured out towards the possiblity of finding Naraku , or any of the shards that had still evaded them without the sight of their location. It was along their trail that the hanyou of their groupd had suddenly stopped , and stood ramrod still , as if someone had kicked him in the gut , while he had leaned over his sword stuck in the ground , panting . As everyone turned to look , and inquired as to what was wrong , the only answer that he provided to them was a distinct shake of his head , as well as his other hand rose to give them pause for a moment , before he spoke, well rasped with shock.

To the hanyou who gained all of his companions attention , couldn't find the words to explain , as to what was now happening, it was hard enough trying to word what has occured when Kagome's blood was on his sword, but now this , certainly soon they were gonna get the idea that he was loosing his kibbles and bits, not in a good way either. When they were walking only to get away from where the last weird occurance happened with the given excuse to look around for clues , but really it was to escape the unknown things that were surrounding Inuyasha, himself, and now this happens.

At first it was something of a tingling that began at his hip, and then grew as a relentless , continuing , vibrating hum, as though his sword was singing , but what blew him away was when it happened Kagome's scent billowed out around him , past his nose ..
