Chapter 8:
Modern Day Japan
Kaname P.O.V.
"What! You've gotta be kidding." I called out frantically as my friend Yuka informed me of the latest gossip that had happened at school today. Or at least the latest gossip that had spread around while I was forced to go hold some water filled buckets in the hallway for being late this morning.
"Are you sure they're going steady?" At that everyone on the bus seemed too turned back and look over at us. However I couldn't help it, it had come as quite a shock to me and all. Yuka quickly got up in my face.
"Come on! Don't make a scene. You don't have to go and flip out over it." She cried as she looked from side to side at the other passengers who had begun to listen in to our conversation. "I've never seen anybody as clued out as you when it comes to noticing stuff like that. One look at them and it's obvious."
"Do you really think so?"
"Yeah like another obvious couple."
"What! Hiro and Seko are going steady!" I shrieked in complete shock, why was I the last person to find out about these types of things? Yuka gave me a stern look again, as the people on the bus looked back over at us.
"Would you quit making a scene about it your totally embarrassing me!"
"It's just that, they're still only in junior high." I mumbled as I lowered my head a bit in disappointment.
"Get real would'ya. Already in junior high is more like it. It's hardly unusual. There are lots of girls who already have boyfriends. Like Yuko and Takai –san. And Meiko and Oh Tomo-chan."
"Even Tomo-chan!" I yelled my mouth a gap, Yuka simply covered her mouth quickly and then gave a small sigh before putting her hand back down by her side.
"Oops, you didn't know?"
"No. It's news to me." I said as I left out a sigh, " What a shock that is. And here I thought I was Tomo-chan's good friend."
"She probably didn't want to hurt your feelings." Yuka confessed as she thought over the idea quickly in her head.
"What are you saying?"
"You know. You don't have a guy yet."
"Mmm…." I grunted softly as I felt my cheeks turning red with embarrassment. After all how could I possibly even begin to tell her about him? About Sesshomaru and everything he told me. She'd surely think I was going mental.
"You sure blush easily Kururugi."
'Next stop Kururugi Shrine. Kururugi Shrine. Please ring the bell if you want to get off.'
"This is our stop."
-bing-
Stepping off the bus I ran towards my home, going up the concrete steps like I had been doing for years,
"Oh man! I knew I was going to be late!" I cried out as I reached the top of the steps and headed into the festival. Panting a bit I finally reached the stall where my father was.
"Sorry I'm late dad!" I stated catching my breath for a few moments, "I didn't mean to keep you waiting."
"You know this is the doll Festival of wishes." He stated sternly as he was handing out some of the dolls and other charms we sold at our shrine. I cringed a little, I always hated when he used his fatherly voice at me. It always made me feel like I was that little five year old always getting into trouble.
"Yeah, but my homeroom class went way overtime." I pouted a bit giving him an apologetic gaze before looking away a bit, "I'll get changed and come right away!"
"No, hang on." He stated sighing a bit and rubbing the back of his head.
"Huh?"
"I can handle things here" he began as he pointed toward the storage shed, "Please go to the store house and get me some more amulets."
"You got it." I replied happily enough, after all it wasn't going to be that hard of a task. Running toward the back of the shrine I saw the store house before me. Getting closer I opened the door and looked inside the unlit dusty shack filled with scrolls and boxes from side to side. Dad sure was a pack rat.
"Let's see, I think we put the box of amulets somewhere in the back last year." Walking into the building a bit further I looked from side to side, for the box that had the amulets in it. Though the darkness in the room was making things more difficult than they had to be, "Wish I remembered to grab the flashlight."
Wondering around in the dark my hands outstretched, my foot caught and before I knew it I was falling down.
"Aaaaaa!!!!!" I screamed in a panic, once all the dust cleared away I looked down, "Ouch, this place is pretty dangerous. The floors totally rotten, and so's my luck today." I mumbled to myself as I began to stand up,
"I'll get dad to fix it later." With that I pushed off the floor only, to find myself falling once again through the rotten wood and into a prism of blue and purple light screaming at the top of my lungs… And then everything went black.
Feudal Era Japan
Just then a new scent entered the air. It was in fact a human scent but there was something about it that I couldn't put a finger on. I felt this deep desire to go to it and before long I saw the scenery of the forest beginning to speed past me. Jaken was wailing my name in the distance but soon enough it faded away. As I got closer to Akebi Village another familiar scent came across me. It was my half-brother Inu Yasha. As soon as I jumped into the clearing I saw a young human girl and another demon.
"Aaaa! It's a demon!" she called out in complete fear as the demon came closer chuckling maliciously with each step.
"I thought I smelled something tasty. It's a human! And I was just getting hungry, how convenient." The demon exclaimed with excitement.
"What! What are you? Don't you come near me!" the human girl stuttered as she stood shaking in her shoes making small attempts to back away little by little.
"Ha ha ha, you think you can run away from me?" he spouted as he licked his lips imagining how good she would taste. Just then the girl ran. At that moment I was ready to jump out of my position, but something kept me from moving… The demon chased after her in a split second and was right behind her.
"No!" she called out as she fell to the ground and looked up at the demon before her. As I heard her cry out my inner demon was roaring with the need to protect her.
"I'm gonna eat you!" he continued as he licked his lips some more as he inched closer and closer to her.
Just as I raced out to her she began to emit a strange red light. Stopping I stood there mesmerized at the strange power she had. Then just as suddenly as it had came it vanished taking the demon that had been after her with it. I stood there for a while in a complete trance before I finally looked down at the girl on the ground who was now unconscious.
'What was that light?' I thought as I leaned down and picked her up gently into my arms. I couldn't help but stare down at her. She was actually quite beautiful, even if she was just a mere human. As I stared down at her I felt my heart rate beginning to pick up and the inner demon inside of me wanting to take control. Shaking off the feeling for now I took a better look at this girl, could she be the girl called Kaname? Taking more notice she wore a strange outfit that was similar to the one that the wench Kagome wore, though this one was a bit different. Suddenly the brown haired girl began to move a bit in my grasp.
"Mmm…" she mumbled as her hazel eyes began to open slowly. I left her gaze as my attention came to that annoying half-brother of mine. Inu Yasha appeared out of the bushes. He took one look at me and the glanced down to the human girl in my arms.
"Sesshomaru! What are you doing?" He yelled out to me as he drew Tetsusaiga out of its sheath and pointed it in my direction.
