Chapter 9

Three goddesses and a challenger

Koji shut his eyes and he just felt the caress of her breath when she fell on her knees her hands against her head, she felt as if poison was flowing through her veins. She managed to look up to see a guy her age holding Koji by the collar Yume was trying to scream and get him to let go but nothing happened 'my voice I can't speak?!' she squinted her eyes and shook her head "STOP!! ALL OF IT STOP!!" Yume yelled as fire surrounded her and she stood up and saw the boy again "Yume I have heard much about you and I never thought you would be as beautiful as he said especially when you're scared you're fear is as sweet as honey to me" he said as he smirked at her. She shook her head and whispered "Miroku-sama will save me and I will be happy again" "weird because when I saw you're life at high speed, I saw that you die alone and the people you care about die as well and…" "NOT TRUE THAT WILL NOT HAPPEN!" She interrupted crying, he grabbed her wrists that where on her face and twisted her arms she squinted fell on her knees and started to moan in pain, it was right then when she recognized him "Bankotsu I thought Inuyasha killed you again" "he did but I was resurrected again" he responded his voice coming close to laughing. "Hinusho was simple about what he wanted he just wanted me to kill you instead of Koji" Yume froze in horror. "Now come on Hinusho doesn't want me to get you back late" he said picking her up by her collar. "Let me go now I'm not going with you I'll summon Boyo and I will stop at nothing to live" she said squirming and kicking ruthlessly holding a charm around her necklace shaped like a dragon.

Bankotsu was close to was close to taking Yume when her dragon charm glowed and she closed her eyes. "Boyo please come out" she whispered gently.

Bankotsu felt as if a hands where pulling him away from her, "What did you do whench?" "I did nothing Boyo got angered by hurting his master nothing more. He might kill you next time although." She said as a dragon flew around her body putting its head next to hers. "Boyo it's been a while hasn't it?" asked stroking the Boyo's head "defense is what your name means and that's what you are: my defense" she disappeared with Boyo going back to the charm.

Inuyasha was sitting in a tree pondering about god knows what. Kagome looked at him "Inuyasha" she called his name loud enough for him to hear "hmm?" he asked looking at her, "can I come up with you?" she asked standing. He nodded jumped down, carried her up and set her down next to him. "Arigatou" she thanked him, leaned back into his chest against her. "Kagome?" he said her name for no reason. "Inuyasha I love you" she gently whispered. He froze for a second 'she confessed love before I did?! I was going to tell HER I love her' he thought. He leaned back and enjoyed her warmth and dozed.

Koji held Yume's head and back to not hurt her neck. He kept staring at her until finally she opened her eyes, she was still scared. "You okay Yume?" he asked her, she was trembling and shaking "Bankotsu" she whispered in a scared tone. "What about Bankotsu again is he back? That bastard" Sango asked walking in. "I don't know but he's after me and Kagome-chan apparently he almost killed me but Boyo saved me" she explained "who's Boyo?" Miroku asked walking in as well.

Inuyasha and Kagome came before Yume began. "It was decided by Lillium for this, each goddess received a dragon guardian. There are only 3 of the dragons, mine named Boyo, Kokoro's named Bara, and Lillium's name is Sakura. The dragons protect their owners with their life. When they are summoned however" "Who the hell is Kokoro and Lillium?" Inuyasha interrupted "

"Inuyasha sit" kagome said. His face dug in the ground. "As I was saying. The only time the goddess should use her dragon is in an emergency. The only goddess with an unusual power that involves psychic hands is me. Remember Sango I split Kikyo's bow in half using my psychic hands?" she asked looking at Sango, she nodded.

"There are three goddesses, Lillium the earth goddess; she has the power of anything grown from nature, Kokoro the death goddess; she has the power of the circle of life, she causes death, birth and so on, and last and probably least me the dream goddess; I have the power of dreams, souls and magical stuff like that" she finished.

Everyone stared at her and then the moon which shined brighter than usual. Yume looked at them strangely "what's wrong with you guys?" she asked "I read in a textbook that three goddesses created the whole universe so you and these 2 other girls created life as we know it?" Kagome asked, Yume nodded.

When everyone left Yume went to talk to Inuyasha. She looked at him he was sitting in a tree (as usual) she called him. He didn't budge she focused on him and said "come down" the branch he was sitting in broke. "Inuyasha I need to tell you something" she got his attention. He sat down "what do you want?" he asked, she began "when you transformed yesterday I noticed you didn't care what happened to me or the others you were just focused on getting kagome safe. Kokoro would do the same I know it" Yume said smiling.

"Oh now would I?" Yume heard a girl say, she turned to see a girl with long black hair she didn't even bother to put up, she had eyes the same style as Yume's except they were grey, she wore a lavender haori, her pants were white and covered her feet, and she had earrings that were hoops. "Kokoro" Yume stood and looked at Kokoro. She grinned. Next another girl came out with blue eye's still same style as Yume's, she had a pale green kimono, tied her hair back with a white ribbon, her hair was a dark brown, her sandals where covered as well with her skirt, and she had a necklace with a lily charm. "I'm just guessing that's Lillium isn't it?" Inuyasha asked. Yume still in shock just nodded. She ran into her 2 friends arms and started to giggle "you still do that baby giggle huh?" Lillium asked, Yume nodded blissfully and let go and smiled very sweetly. "Yep she does" Kokoro answered looking at Inuyasha. "You must be Inuyasha Kikyo's love correct I noticed that she was resurrected and I was trying to make sure she would go back to being a dead corpse not a walking clay pot" Kokoro said Smiling sweetly, "the ogress urassuwai brought her back and I thought she did it for a selfish cause. It was and it only caused pain, sorrow and danger so I often tried to collect the souls she stole and it always failed I needed to get her back to being dead but…" "WHY THE HELL WERE YOU TRYING TO TAKE HER BACK?!" Inuyasha interrupted "because she gets irritated when people imitate her magic and use it for evil that's why Inuyasha" Lillium answered Inuyasha couldn't snap back he just started to pout "HEY DID YOU JUST HEAR A WORD I JUST SAID HANYOU?!" Lillium asked mad, Inuyasha struck her on the head "just because you're a girl doesn't mean I won't hurt you, you are a goddess which means you are strong enough to endure at least a whack on the head" Inuyasha said looking at her. She was really mad now her eyes started glowing light blue, lightning started rumbling, winds where blowing, rain was pouring down, and the beautiful spring air turned freezing cold. "Lillium calm down he is just a stubborn jerk don't listen to him stop all of this" Yume called to her "come on Lillium you're more mature than this don't start a storm just cause you got hit on the head" Kokoro yelled. The winds and everything stopped Lillium looked at Inuyasha and said "I'll kill you next time" she walked away. "She's got a bad temper" Inuyasha said "what do expect she's the one who created the universe we live in she did most of the work me and Yume only created humanity maybe we made a mistake of creating demons" Kokoro said irritated walking away. Yume looked at Inuyasha and just stared at the sun coming up.

Later around the time everyone got back together Miroku saw the 2 goddess 'what beauties' thought miroku staring at them "what is it houshi?" Lillium asked glaring at him, "I have a request for you" he answered 'here he goes again' Kagome thought "would you kindly consider bearing my children?" "What about you?" he asked grabbing Kokoro's hands in his, "Get your hands off her you pervert!!" Lillium snapped slapping him hard; her slap felt like fire and hurt really bad. "What are you exactly?" Miroku asked putting a hand where she hit him, "I'm the nature goddess Lillium why?" "So that's why a storm was stirring when I hit you. You where about to challenge me, do you still want to fight?" Inuyasha asked "I have no intensions of fighting you I have better things to do" she said stubbornly "are you saying you think you're stronger than me?" "Maybe" she said smirking.

"I'll take her on" they heard a voice say Lillium looked to see Sesshomaru.

Lillium cracked up laughing "you think you can beat me?! Oh my god you have some nerve impudence more like" she barely said, Sesshomaru nodded. Kokoro had a bad feeling about him, "Lillium look out something's wrong about this guy, he has a strange aura from that sword… WAIT a minute that's the tennseiga!!" she said eye's widening. But Lillium was already starting a twister "how dare you challenge the strongest being in the universe I'll show you just what I can do, Inuyasha observe what I do to your brother and you'll see what I can do" she said looking at Inuyasha through the corner of her eye. Sesshomaru ignored the twister and drew tokijin 'nanyi he didn't get blown away from the twister' she just started to glow light green "have it your way and you'll die from a lightning strike" Lillium smirked and a lightning bolt hit him. His eyes started to glow in red "you don't know my power whench" he said "WHENCH?! You're saying I am not strong you're really dead now Kokoro Yume get over here and help me" Kokoro did as Lillium said but Yume remained still. "Get over there already" Shippo said "no" she whispered "because I know a human who would be really hurt and die if he died she depends on his strength" she said "I'll purify him he'll turn into a human and still have power to protect her" she said walking over to him, "Rin loves you I hope you know that" Yume said sweetly "what do you know you're just a human" he hissed grabbing her wrists "I'll kill you" he threatened, no fear or pain was in her eyes "I'm not scared of anything except nightmares I'm not afraid to die so if you want kill me" she said with her eyes looking glassy "if you insist" he smirked and poison came from his claws. Kokoro looked at him "STOP NOW!!" She screamed as suddenly she saw Boyo come and try to bite him 'Boyo!' Yume thought snapping back to reality. She grabbed the dragon's head and said "Boyo it's okay I'm fine I'm here I'll never leave you or anyone else" she sobbed holding the dragon. "Let her go" Sango snapped throwing hiraikostu. Lillium concentrated on the boomerang and a fire ring surrounded it. It hit Sesshomaru his tennseiga made him disappear. Yume fell on the ground. She felt as if her wrists where on fire and they where covered in a green acid. "damn Sesshomaru got ya good" Inuyasha said as Keade bandaged Yume's wrists "child ye may have to wear a different outfit since this one has been covered in acid, blood, and dirt you should borrow one of my old ones. I have a bunch of different colors and sizes the only one that would fit your skinny slender body would probably be the one with bright colors but that doesn't really matter the outfit may need to be washed so you should" She suggested 'but I hate bright colors I'd prefer faint colors like blue or white and possibly pink' Yume thought looking at her wrists; they still hurt a little.

Later that day Yume washed the kimono; it had a bright pink haori, its pants and hair tie where purple, the inner kimono was purple like the pants but a bit brighter. Yume didn't like the outfit but she reminded herself it was only temporary.
