Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or make profit from this. This is purely for fun.
Author's note: Thank you all for sticking with me through this. I know that my story can be a tad bit random with some bad grammer, but I'm getting better at it and I hope that the story will get better too. Thank you and enjoy. So sorry I accidently posted a chapter for another fanfiction here. Sorry for the mistake, now onto the real story!
Yasha rushed to the Medical wing with purpose as he steadied his breathing. When he got there and took a deep breathe before yelling at the top of his lungs, "Is May Higurashi here!?"
A older woman then giggled as she approached him, "You must be Yasha."
Realizing who this was he bowed, "Lady Mira."
The three heads of Anzen no basho were hand picked by the council of elders so they were well respected by everyone.
She laughed, "No need to be so formal! Who knows maybe one day you'll be the one saying that!"
Mira then gesture to the archive, "May went into the archive to study ancient medicine. There's still a lot we have yet to learn from our ancestors."
Yasha thanked Mira before following the stream to the spring then into the archive.
The archive was no longer as messy. In other words, the science team made quick work to restore it to the way it was before.
The boy looked around the refurbished shelves until he found May staring at a green book similar to his own spell book in shock.
"May, are you okay?", Yasha addressed her carefully.
She gasped in surprise before she realized it was only Yasha. She asked, "What are you doing at the archive?"
"Looking for you.", he stated simply.
"Are you hurt!?", she shrieked.
"No. Well, not really. Just some bruises.", The sixteen year old explained.
"Oh, then why were you looking for me?"
"I need to tell you something. But first, where did you get that book? I've haven't seen or heard of that one before.", He asked.
May shrugged, "I really don't know. It just appeared out of nowhere. For some reason I can read it."
The boy piped up, "Like a spell book?"
May gave him a suspicious look, "Yeah, how did you know?"
He sweated before he tried to explain, "You remember a few weeks ago when I found the archive?", "Yeah?"
Yasha continued, "Well, a red spell book was hurled at the back of my head and I could read it. Not only that but I can use the spells in the book. I think Kai has one too. I've seen him with it."
"Really!?", She muttered in shock.
"Yeah, Maybe you can use the spells in the book you found too. What kind of magic is it?", Yasha asked.
"Healing, Water, and I think some of the spells have to do with archery."
The boy thought a moment before sliding his sleeve up to show a bruise, "Why don't you try to heal me?"
"I don't know.", She looked around nervously.
"Just trust me.", He looked at her seriously.
"Ok.", she said before opening the book and reading it. She then walked over to Yasha and placed her hands above his arm. The bruise then started to glow as it disappeared.
She gasped, "Wow!"
"I know right!? Here I'll show you mine. I just mastered this one.", Yasha said as he stuck his hand out in midair and summoned a small ember.
She whispered, "Amazing."
The boy closed his hand and the ember went out. He added, "I would show you more, but the other spells aren't really mastered yet and they can be really dangerous. I'll have to introduce you to Mia, she's the one that trained me. Also I would keep that book if I were you."
"Ok.", She answered.
After a long moment May asked, "So what was it you wanted to tell me?"
Yasha sweated, "Right, um! How do I explain this?"
He thought a moment before simply stating, "I'm being promoted straight to a shadow warrior."
She dropped the book, "Really?"
He also has a private invitation to the elders quarters tomorrow, but that wasn't important. "Yeah, I am."
She suddenly hugged him, "That's great! When do you start!"
"Soon I think, I'm being sent out with the shadow warriors as soon as they're sent back out.", He cast a serious look.
May stuttered, "You mean the frontlines?", "Yeah."
Yasha gave a sad look as May clutched his robe tighter, "But why?"
"I don't know, but one theory is that they think I'm ready. I did lead a rebellion against the shawdoumonsutas, after all.", He explained.
She started to sobb, "But the next mission is supposed to take a while, maybe even years!"
He placed a comforting hand on her shoulder, "I know, but I can't ignore a direct order."
May then dried up her tears and said, "Promise me you'll be back.", "What?"
"Promise me you'll be back, Yasha taisho! Because I love you!", She yelled.
Then realizing what she said her face went hot red before she ran away. Yasha blushed but went after her anyways, "May!"
After a while Yasha lost her. So he searched for her until he found her whimpering in a random corner of Anzen no basho. She shrieked, "Go away!"
He firmly grabbed her arm and shouted, "I love you too! I don't care who knows it!"
She looked at him In shock before she smiled with tears running down her face. They both blushed before they both leaned in and smooched.
The kiss lasted a good while before Yasha pulled away and said, "I promise."
The next day, Yasha was walking nervously to the elder's place when he bumped into Mia. "If it isn't, Yasha.", she greeted sweetly.
That's when Yasha remembered something, "Hey, Mia?"
"Yes, dear.", "There's this May girl who has magic like me. Mind helping her out?", He asked.
She laughed, "Of course, child! But enough of that, we must hurry if we're going to be on time to the elders quarters."
Yasha gasped, "Wait, what?!"
She giggled then winked, "Didn't you know I'm a close friend of the elders, so they asked me to lead you to their real quarters. Come now."
The boy gulped before he followed Mia. After a few turns they came to a dead end. Before Yasha could state his confusion Mia shushed him playfully before walking right through the wall. Yasha's eyes widened before he took a deep breath closing his eyes and followed Mia's example.
When he opened them he was in some sort of room decorated with luxurious furniture. That's when Mary, Hunk, and Josh stepped into the room. Yasha bowed to the elders like it was his lifeline.
Mary consoled, "There's no need for formalities here, young one. You're here for a very special reason."
Yasha stood up, "Huh?"
The elder Mary quirked her eyebrow, "You mean Royce hasn't told you already?"
Hunk then burst out into laughter looking straight at Mia, "Jeez, Royce, come out of that silly disguise already! You're confusing the kid!"
The boy looked confusingly at Mia, the woman he had known for weeks now in confusion. Suddenly Mia snapped her fingers and the illusion of a old woman wore off to reveal a dude in drag. Yasha stumbled back in shock before Royce offered his hand, "Sorry, the only way for me not to gain too much attention and to help you out would to be to hide my gorgeous looks."
Yasha blinked, "How did you?"
Royce smiled, "That's why you're here. Now come, sit down and I'll explain everything."
Yasha took a deep calming breath before sitting down on a sofa across from royce and the other elders.
"Yasha, do you know the story of the legend of the five warriors? Well, we believe that the prophecy is about to come true.", Royce started.
"What do you mean?", The sixteen year old boy questioned.
He continued, "The prophecy states that the chosen ones will return and that they will come back as reincarnations."
The boy's eyes widened once again, "You know the rest of the prophecy!"
The old man nodded, "Aye, child. More than you know."
The youth slammed his fist on the coffee table, "If that's true why haven't you told the resistance yet?!"
Mary interjected, "Calm ye self, child. The prophecy has been passed from generation to generation in this council. It was never withered just forgotten among the public. Our reason to keep this a secret is because we do not want to cause a panic and a search for these reincarnations. Not even they know they are reincarnations."
Yasha calmed down, "I guess that's a good point. If they knew that the five warriors were among us again it would cause chaos and bloodshed just for people to find these warriors."
Hunk nodded agreeing with the boy.
Yasha then asked, "So what does this have to do with me?"
Royce answered, "Yasha, we have come to the conclusion that you're the fifth warrior reincarnate."
"What!?", Yasha screamed.
Mary added to the conversation, "The fact that you have magic that we've never seen before and of all the great things you've done proves this fact. So does you leading that rebellion shows your leadership skills and that the fifth warrior lives within you."
Yasha was shock silent before hunk finally spoke up, "Those aren't the only reasons. Have you had any weird dreams since the incident, young man."
The boy looked up at them in surprised, "How did you know?"
Josh answered, "Your friend told professor walter and he immediately reported to us."
"I don't see how dreams could prove me to be the fifth warrior.", He said a little irritated.
The elders all nodded each other before Royce placed a hand on Yasha's shoulder, "Child, the fifth warrior's name is Inuyasha and he was said to have a brother named Sesshomaru."
That's when Yasha remembered one of his dreams. He stuttered, "Those guys were in my dream! I'd dreamed about the tunnel collapsing and that Inuyasha's brother was caught in the debris! When I found not a single body inside the archive I was relieved. It's also how I found the archive."
Yasha started to sob, "I thought Sesshomaru was Rue, my brother!"
Royce took the boy in his arms, "Shh, you must be brave now. It's okay, Yasha."
After a few moments of uncontrollable crying, Yasha, finally managed to calm down enough to speak. He stuttered a little, "I believe you now. Those dreams are proof enough for me."
Yasha then asked, "Do you have a idea who the other four warriors are?"
Mary butted in, "Actually we found out recently that there are actually six warriors. We think that the sixth was more of a group strategist and consultant for Inuyasha so he wasn't really considered a fighter like the others and since the prophecy said all warriors we'll be looking for five other warriors."
Josh finally chimed in, "Young Yasha, do you have any idea who these other warriors might be?"
The boy thought for a moment before he answered, "Maybe, I mean I have my own suspicion."
Royce placed a hand on the boy's forehead, "The prophecy also states that when the time comes the fifth warrior will know. Who do you have in mind?"
Yasha stumbled in words unsure of what to say until he asked in shock, "You mean I have to pick?"
They all nodded in response. 'Should I tell them?', Yasha wondered. The youth responded with a serious tone, "I'm not sure but I think Mark, May, and Kai may all be warriors. I feel like I've known them all my life."
Royce leaned in closer, "Do you think you can name their abilities by name?"
Taking the hink Yasha continued, "Mark would be the strategist, May water and the healer of the group, and Finally Kai might be the earth warrior."
Yasha wasn't really sure how he knew all of this, but it felt right.
Mary stood up and said, "Will you excuse us for a moment, Yasha? We must discuss this privately."
The sixteen year old nodded as the elders left the room.
Mary asked Royce, "Does he know he is also the trigger for the incident?"
The man sighed, "No, I personally don't think we should tell him.
Josh asked, "That's right I forgot about that. How is Yasha the trigger again? I wasn't here for that meeting."
Royce explained, "It's because Yasha is Inuyasha's reincarnation. The seal that Inuyasha used was made from a portion of his soul and it started to weakened when the boy was born. A great portion of the seal broke when he turned sixteen. Yasha's soul has been attracting the rest of itself from the seal breaking it."
Josh said, "So that's why we need him, to seal Naraku away again?"
Mary interjected, "Not exactly, we need him and the others to defeat Naraku. The prophecy says, ' when the chosen ones are needed once again they will return as reincarnations. The fifth warrior will find the other warriors with the help from the council at the time as the seal withers. Then will time stop and start again as new heroes rise and the evil king is defeated.'"
Hunk asked, "But not even we know what the last of the prophecy means. All we can do is support Yasha for now and then all we can and hope for the best."
The others agreed before they dimmissed their little meeting and headed back to Yasha.
Meanwhile, Yasha thought over what they said. 'I mean it makes sense, right? Being a reincarnation would explain everything.'
That's when the elders walked back into the room. Royce said, "Before we began again we must ask you not to repeat any of what was said here. We don't want to cause an uproar."
The sixteen year old nodded as Royce continued, "What you are saying is May is the reincarnation of Kagome the water warrior, Kai is the reincarnation of Kouga the earth warrior and Mark is Miroku's reincarnation."
The boy gasped at the familiar names before nodding. Mary spoke up, "As for you being sent out with the warriors. You'll be under commander Tsuyoi care. But don't worry that isn't till after the first year anniversary of the incident. This way you'll have time to celebrate christmas with your friends. Also you'll be taken under our wing so you can master more of your red rare magic and learn more about the war of unification and the six warriors. Not only that but since you didn't finish high school we will tutor you in math, reading, and more. It's for the best that the reincarnation of the leader of the warriors has a full education"
Yasha's eyes went wide at that, he'll be studying with the elders! The same elders that rule Azen no basho!
Yasha jumped up in excitement, "Thank you, you won't regret this!"
