****Author's note: Hey, thanks for reviewing. And so this is all cleared up, I do not own Inuyasha or the show's characters, but I do own Amaterasu and Jurou. And I own this fan-fiction.
Last Time
Jurou was paralyzed where he stood. His eyes were large in horror. His face went pale, and he slightly trembled.
"Amaterasu," he whispered.
Chapter 7
The group looked at Jurou in shock. It sounded as if he knew her. His face held a look of guilt, and pain. All of the villagers were screaming and running for weapons while Jurou just stood there.
"Jurou, how do you know Amaterasu?" Miroku demanded.
Jurou snapped back to reality. "I - I have to go." He turned and started to hurry away.
Inuyasha grabbed Jurou's collar and dragged him back. He pulled out Tetsusiga and threw Jurou to the ground.
"You're staying right there until I get rid of her. Then you can tell us how you know her," Inuyasha growled.
Amaterasu walked over to where the group stood and laughed. She was wearing a long black-tinted-red dress that had slits up the slides that ended at her hips. The top of the dress was strapless and had oval cuts in the sides showing her pale skin.
Her laugh was evil, dark. "Jurou, it's been a long time. About one hundred years, what have you been up to without me?"
"Oh my God! Jurou, you're the man who betrayed Amaterasu!" Kagome stated.
Amaterasu was behind Inuyasha in less than a second. She grabbed Jurou by the front of his shirt.
"We have a lot of catching up to do. Don't you think?" she asked him before she disappeared.
"Dammit," Inuyasha growled. He put Tetsusiga away.
The group had no way of finding Jurou and Amaterasu. She left no trail of her or his scent for the hanyou to follow. They asked around to see if anybody knew any history about Amaterasu and where she used to go.
One old man told them that Amaterasu was said to used to go to a water fall with her lover. He also said that it was a couple of days walk through the forest, if you follow the trail.
So after a long and confusing day the group set off into the forest on the tiny trail. Along the way Miroku, Sango, Kagome, and Inuyasha talked about the wedding that was sure to come up in about two months.
Inuyasha and Miroku were not as into it as the girls were. They had their heads together and were silently talking.
"Oh, and we can have Shippo as the ring bearer. And Miroku could be the best man. We could ask Rin if she wants to be the flower girl. At your wedding also. She agreed to be mine so she probably would be happy to," Sango was saying.
"Yeah, and maybe Sesshomaru could be in the wedding also," Kagome laughed, she was only joking.
The group was on good terms with Rin, but not her master, Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru still wanted Tetsusiga but stopped trying to kill the group because it would upset Rin. He secretly loved her-which everyone could see-but he wouldn't admit it.
{A/n: I was watching some of the Inuyasha episodes where Sesshomaru is a little over-protective of Rin, and you could easily see that he is in love with Rin. Okay, sorry for the interruption. Read on...}
So as the afternoon went on Sango and Kagome were planning the wedding and were going to ask the people that they said about to be in the wedding.
When it started to get dark they set up camp. They made a fire and ate dinner. They started to talk about Jurou.
"How can he live for so long if he's only human?" Sango asked.
"Maybe he's more than human. Maybe he's a demon, or maybe Amaterasu put a spell on him after he betrayed her. Which, we still don't know why he did betray her," Kagome said.
"Well, he looks around his forties or in his thirties, and Amaterasu looks about twenty. So he must have aged," Miroku said.
"Heh, then he must be a demon," Inuyasha cut in.
Everyone agreed with Inuyasha. They thought there was no other explanation.
The group fell asleep while trying to think up an answer of what Jurou was. The next morning when they started to head to the water fall the were still talking about what Jurou and Amaterasu could be. They came up with the explanation that they were the same thing.
"Jurou, you didn't really think you could hide from me, did you?" Amaterasu asked.
Jurou and Amaterasu were behind the water fall where they use to come. Amaterasu had Jurou chained against the cave wall. Amaterasu was pacing back and forth in front of where Jurou was chained.
"No, I didn't. But then again, I didn't know you would be released so soon from your slumber. It looks like it was working so far, you still look like you did a hundred years ago," Jurou said.
"And does that pain you, my sweet darling? Seeing me as I was when you promised me you loved me? Or when you betrayed me?" she asked coldly.
"You decided you wanted to kill the head of our kind and take over the group! They asked me because I was the only one who could get close enough to confined you. You can't just kill someone you don't like, or didn't like how they handled the group! You killed somebody! You did something wrong! After I tried to lock you away the first time, you ran away and tried to enslave males! You had to be taken care of," Jurou responded.
Amaterasu laughed, it was cold. "You make me sound like I was a mess on the ground, Jurou."
"You were a mess. And you still are," Jurou responded.
Amaterasu noticed that Jurou wouldn't look at her. He looked down at the cave's floor. He also looked uncomfortable.
"Why are you uncomfortable, Jurou? Do you still love me?" she smiled.
"I locked you away in that cave, Amaterasu. Why would I do that if I still loved you?"
Amaterasu was right in front of Jurou in a flash. She grabbed his jaw and forced him to look at her face. She pulled his face down to her's so that their faces were inches apart.
"You didn't answer my question, Jurou. And to answer yours, you would do that if you think it would help me somehow."
Jurou still didn't answer Amaterasu's. But she already knew the answer. She laughed darkly.
Amaterasu was so caught up in the conversation she didn't heard Inuyasha and the group come into the cave behind the water fall.
*****Author's note: Hey this is chapter 7 I'm so sorry I didn't update sooner. I was sick-really sick I didn't want to get up and do anything. I wanted to die- so I didn't get to type anything that day. And I also wrote something down on notebook paper when I was feeling a little better, so I'm gonna get that typed up and post it. Oh and I have made I new saying, it's 'hanyou pride'. And do you know what I noticed? No one really reads the author's notes. Okay maybe a couple of people do. Oh and also I have a few other Inuyasha fanfics on notebook paper and I think you guys will really like them [ except one-maybe] but I will explain about that one in the author's note in the first chapter when I post it but that won't be for a few weeks. I'll tell you that I posted it when I do, don't worry. Thank you to those of you who do read the author's notes. I am happy some people care about what the author has to say. Thank you for your time and please review!!
