~Protecting Kara~ Six
"What do you mean Sesshomaru accidentally killed Kara?" Inuyasha shouted. They were now back at Kara's village all inside her hut, Kara still had an amused look on her face while Sesshomaru looked away not meeting anyone's gaze.
"Will you stop screaming Inuyasha, what's done is done. What we have to talk about is the red eye demons." Kara said. Inuyasha pointed a finger at her.
"No, what you need to do is explain to me all this. How did Sesshomaru kill you?" he demanded. Kara sighed scratching her head. She knew she shouldn't have told Inuyasha this, but when she found out, she found it all so amusing. Finally after so many years she finally had something on her older brother. Again she erupted in giggles causing Sesshomaru to glare daggers at her.
"It was an accident. I was a new born baby, and Sesshomaru didn't know what to do with me. Well he did, but you know my brother." she said. Everyone in the hut nodded their heads, again Sesshomaru ignore them.
"If you guys really want to know, he didn't do much that's the thing; he left me unattended a lot. So one day he left me close to the river, and I fell in and drowned simple as that. Sesshomaru brought me back to life using the Tenseiga and never left me alone again. You can say I'm not very grateful about that part, but here I am." Kara said. Everyone's eyes landed on Sesshomaru who refused to make eye contact with anyone.
"You bastard." Inuyasha shouted at him, Sesshomaru's head turn to look at Inuyasha coldly.
"If it was you instead of Kara, I would have left you in that river." was all Sesshomaru said. Inuyasha growled at him.
Kara couldn't help herself she burst out laughing; everyone looked at each other wondering if they should worry for the young half-demon. Kara was going mad, she couldn't help relive the memories from when the little imp demons showed her.
Flashback-two years ago
Kara was underneath a tree this time, her grasp on her sword. She looked bored, but none the less concentrating on getting the imp demons to leave her alone. She yawned, when one of the imp demons jumped on her head, whispering in her little dog ears.
"Little princess, give up now. Your soul is important to us, cheating death twice before. How wondrous." it whispered to her. Kara looked out in the distance confused, cheated death twice? What was it talking about?
"You do not know? How strange, close your eyes princess, and watch the image we shall show you." it hissed at her. Kara hesitated, but what did she have to lose? So she closed her eyes and let the images of the past take her over. She was shocked to see Sesshomaru looking down at a basket in front of him, inside was baby Kara, sleeping away. She could tell from the way Sesshomaru looked that he just put her to sleep; they were on a boulder, the river under them. Sesshomaru for the first time in years was exhausted he couldn't believe that a small infant could tame him. Now his baby sister was sleeping in the basket, and Sesshomaru needed time on his own. Checking to see if the baby was still asleep he made his way towards the forest. Unknowingly to him, he didn't at all feel the swift of the wind pick up. The small basket that held the young baby Kara was now moving slightly closer to the river, the baby continued to sleep on peacefully not knowing the danger that she was in. And then the basket fell into the river, and still the baby did not stir, until its nose was covered with water. Sesshomaru came back shortly, and his eyes went wide when he noticed the basket wasn't on the boulder. In a flash he looked around, wondering if a demon kidnapped his sister when he saw it, the basket in the river. For the first time in years his heart felt something, he jumped into the river, and took out the basket, his baby sister was blue from suffocating to death, and she was just a baby. Even if she was a half-demon she was still defenseless. Sesshomaru wrapped his arms around her, one task. His father left him one task, and that was to watch his sister, and he failed.
"No!" he screamed out loud, and that's when he felt it, the Tenseiga by his hip pulsing. He set the lifeless baby on the boulder, and pulled out his sword. He watched as it pulsed underneath his grasped, and he saw them. The demon imps of hell wrapping themselves around his baby sister, ready to take her soul. So she wasn't gone completely.
"Leave her alone." Sesshomaru growled as he swung the sword, the demons were gone. A few seconds later, a sharp cry rang out. Sesshomaru let out a sigh of utter defeat as he picked up the crying baby. He was given another chance, he could not believe that this small creature could enter his heart so easily; when she cried coming back from the dead he felt it warm for the first time.
"Kara, I will watch over you from now on." Sesshomaru vowed. Her memory ended and Kara looked out at the forest in front of her, her eyes shocked. She can now understand why Sesshomaru protected her when she was so young, and also why he never pulled the Tenseiga when Kaname killed her, it couldn't be used a second time. Kara didn't know what to think but instead she laughed, and laughed. She cheated death twice, and she would cheat it again.
Kara was on the floor still laughing, wiping her eyes as the tears fell. She just laid there on the floor everyone watching her. Kara let out a sigh.
"Don't worry I'm going mad, I won't die just yet." she said softly as she sat up watching them all.
"Besides, after years of being with Sesshomaru it's fun to know he was defeated by a baby." she said standing up grabbing her sword as she held it tight in her hand. Kara looked at her older brother, who gazed at her with no expression on his face at all. She kept her smile softly in place as she sat next to him, her head resting on his knee.
"Don't worry Sesshomaru I don't bare a grudge with you at all." Kara whispered to him, and before anyone knew it she was fast asleep. Inuyasha glared at his older brother, but didn't say a word.
"I heard of this, what Kara is going through. I'm surprised she's lasted this long." Miroku said softly as everyone turned to look at him.
"Demons hold powers that others don't, if someone uses another demons power they go mad until they learn to control it. Do you remember Inuyasha, with the Dakki." Miroku asked. Inuyasha nodded his eyes landing on the Tetsusaiga in his lap.
"Kara used Kaname's power to return from the dead. She holds a part of the afterlife in her. It explains why she see's spirits of the dead, and auras of living creatures. Those who can't submit to the powers of another go mad, and die. Few like Inuyasha and Kara will it to become their own, but Kara doesn't have the power of Kaname. Only a blood descendent of his should." Miroku said.
"So your saying, anyone of Kaname's descendants can help Kara?" Inuyasha asked. Miroku nodded slowly. Sesshomaru growled in anger as his hand rested on top of Kara's head. She mumbled in her sleep, but didn't wake up.
"She's exhausted. She hasn't had a proper sleep in years." Kagome said softly. Inuyasha gripped his sword in his hand.
"What does she need Miroku?" Inuyasha demanded. Miroku thought about for a second.
"Whoever knows Kaname can tell us a way to help her." he said. Sesshomaru snorted as everyone look at him.
"There are only two people who know that, and they would refuse to help us." he said as he looked down at Kara's sleeping form.
"Kai and Anii are the only children born from Kaname. They've hated us ever since our Father killed there's. They won't help us; they will let Kara die slowly." Sesshomaru said coldly.
"Then we'll make them." Inuyasha snapped. He looked at Kara, her face so peaceful, how many nights did she go without having a good sleep, how many days did she have to suffer like she did now. Trying not to lose her mind to the demons of hell? Inuyasha wasn't going to sit around and watch his sister go mad until death took her away from him again.
"I guess we'll have to go and find them. I'll force it out of them." Inuyasha said a look of determination on his face. He was going to protect Kara, this time he wasn't going to fail her.
Off in the distance two figures watched, they heard everything from the small hut, and couldn't believe there luck at all.
"This is better than I imagined." one said not hiding the anticipated smile on their face. The other companion nodded in agreement.
"It seems they've noticed it too, it looks like we can now claim ourselves to them." they said as the other one laughed taking a hold of their sword in their hand tightly.
"I can't wait to be reunited with the new King of the Western lands." they said with a mystified look on their face.
"I guess it's time to make an appearance." they said with a devilish smile.
