Hello once again fellow fanfictioners! Here I bring you the tenth chapter! Hope you enjoy, and thanks to every one who reviews. And because I forgot to put a disclaimer on my last chapter, I'll put one here for both this one and the last one.
Disclaimer 1: for I forgot, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to, but so you know I don't own Inuyasha and their characters!
Disclaimer 2: Inuyasha is not mine. But I made him a pirate anyways.
Inuyasha slammed his tired body against the locked wooden door once again, and again to no avail. What ever it was that Kouga used to lock the door, locked it really well. Or it was because his human body couldn't bust away from something to trivial like rope. What ever the case was, Inuyasha couldn't get through the door to help out his crew mates. Even if he was human, and in his weakest state, his friends still needed his help.
The captain ran once again at the door and slammed hard into the wooden wall, this time his body telling him it was to much. His shoulder popped, and Inuyasha thought that he had dislocated it. In anger and frustration Inuyasha threw a punch flying directly at the wall. A sicklying pop echoed through his room as his knuckles collided with the wooden ship. Enough was enough. Inuyasha couldn't take it anymore.
In defeat the captain fell to the floor, his chest hugging close to knees. He had just gained Kouga, so what would happen if he lost him? Then what? Inuyasha bit down on his lip, yet again causing more pain to his hurting body. From the pain he received from Kouga but a few hours ago, and the pain to his shoulder that was definably dislocated, and his bleeding knuckles, and even to his aching heart, what was a little thing like a bleeding lip to the captain.
Tears began to flow down his eyes as the distant sound of swords clashing and screams were heard out side of his room. They were quiet, and sounded distant even though it was just out side. Maybe it was his human ears unable to track down such simple sounds, or it was he not wanting to hear what was going out side. What if he heard Kouga's scream? What then? Would he kill him self right there if he heard Kouga die?
Inuyasha collapsed more into himself and let the tears drip to the floor. He forced his hands tightly against his ears, doing every thing to stop the battle that was waging on out side without him. He screamed. Inuyasha let out a scream. He needed to vent before he would explode. So much emotion ran through the captain. Anything to release the pressure was sure to do the captain good.
His cloudy eyes focused on nothing. They were blank and wet, staring off into nothing, staring into the light. The light! There was light cascading in through the window! It was a small amount of light, but it was there. The sun, it was coming up. It was a new day. Inuyasha's heart leaped for joy. The night of the new moon was over with and he soon he would feel the transformation start from his bones. And his demon blood would start to mix with his human. Then he could leave this room and help every one.
Inuyasha stood up, pacing back and for worth waiting for the transformation to take place. And on cue he felt it. The feel of the demon entering back into his body, the feel he has felt many, many times before. But never had he ever been more happy to be back to normal. The transformation quickly finished. His claws and power, every thing that made him partly demon had returned back to his body. And with ought a second thought, Inuyasha grabbed his sword and cut through the door that held him back but a few seconds ago.
In a daze, unable to fully see what was going on, he slashed through a few demons. Ending their life as quickly as Inuyasha's came back. His eyes focused on Miroku, struggling with a few demons, but able to hold them back and destroy them. His eyes darted to the top of the ship, there he saw Kagura, and for a moment their eyes met, and something was different. She looked at him with such joy and pride in her eyes. Her beautiful skin stained by blood. Inuyasha stopped all in his tracks as he looked at her, smiling down on him, evil in her eyes. And then he knew he was betrayed, Kagura was no longer, or never truly was one of his crew mates.
She looked away, and Inuyasha followed her gaze. She was watching Kouga, Kouga who was surrounded by tones of demons. Their main focus on him! Inuyasha noticed this now. The demons that were with Miroku were just holding him back from Kouga. Same thing with Kirara. They weren't fighting the crew, they were fighting Kouga. They wanted Kouga. Inuyasha's eyes darted back up to were Kagura was, but she was gone.
The captain's golden eyes darted along the ship. She was gone. But that didn't matter. He needed to help Kouga. He ran forward and swung his sword, ready to use his strongest attack(1). The wind scar to destroy every one of those demons. He could do it to and not his Kouga. Inuyasha focused on the attack, and swung with all his furry he every held in his life. And as soon as he was sure he had made contact with the wind scar, it simply disappeared.
Inuyasha stood confused and dazed. Why hadn't worked. It was right there. He cut through it. So why? Why didn't it work. He heard a laughing from above him. And standing on the mast was the wind witch. Her fan unfolded covering her face slightly. Her laugh was menacing and evil.
"I control the wind Inuyasha! You can't use that lovely attack without it!" She laughed again. Inuyasha was terrified. He looked away and tried to ignore the witch. He was going to fight the old fashioned way then. He ran forward, ready to stain his claws in blood. He needed to help Kouga. With every passing second Kouga was getting injured and tired. Inuyasha wasn't sure how much longer he would last.
A buzzing sound came from behind. Inuyasha barely heard it, but it sounded like wind. And then he felt the pain of his flesh being torn, of deep gashes form on his arms and legs. Blood dripped from his body, and before he realized he was paralyzed, and laying on the floor. His blood spilling out of his body and all over the deck. That laugh came to his ears once again. He cocked his head and there before him was Kagura, the witch, kneeling next to his side.
"Couldn't have been a better time eh captain." She laughed again. "No one is here, and look. Your love is over there, fighting as hard as he can. He's not going to get out of this you know. Lucky me I was there at the right time tonight." Inuyasha stared at her with such hatred in his eyes. He tried to move, tried so hard to strike the traitor, but his body wouldn't allow it. It just wouldn't move.
"I guess you don't know what I'm talking about by your looks. Well let me tell you. I saw every thing tonight. Kouga trying to have his way with you, your tears, and most of all your love for him. And that's all I needed. All I've waited for, for so many years my life stuck on this damn boat wondering if you ever loved." her sickening laugh came from her mouth once again as she looked at Inuyasha's face. Shock and horror written all over it. "Yes Inuyasha, it is your fault Kouga right now is getting hurt." Kagura said knowing what Inuyasha was thinking, depicting the knowledge from what she witnessed that night and the expression on his face.
"Honestly, if you kept on going the way you were, with this love you kept hidden for so long, I never would have found out, and Kouga over there right now would not be dying. Oh, look. That's my cue to go. Well nice being with you captain..but I got better things to do now." She got off, and in a blast of wind and dark cloud, the deck was empty again. The only people on deck Miroku, Inuyasha, and Kirara.
Inuyasha could barely move, but with what little energy he had, he slammed his fist heavily into the deck. He screamed, and he knew the tears were falling from his eyes. It was his fault. Kouga was gone now because of him. Inuyasha felt his body begin to seep into unconsciousness. His eyes felt heavy, and as he looked down he saw the large pool of his own blood staining his ship. With the last ounce of his strength he murmured Kouga's name, and heard the sound of Miroku's panicked voice ring in his ears. Then every thing was black.
...
They swam fast. What ever it was that the Council wanted to see them for, it was big. Bigger than any problem they had ever faced before. "Kohaku, you really have no idea what is going on?"
The young teen merman shook his head. "I have no idea. One moment I was there in the palace, training, and then I'm being summoned by the council, telling me to hurry and find you two. I don't know what it is. But whatever it is, the Council is worried about it. And they never fear anything." Sango and Kagome both gave each other worried glances, each sharing the same thought of fear.
What Kohaku was saying was true, The Council was never this fearful, even when the Demon Pirates first started to take over the seas. Some of the darkest history the world ever seen. But now, what could be happening?
The Council was an organization of thirteen of the oldest Merpeople, created far over a thousand years ago to sustain the balance between Merpeople and the Demon Pirates. They were the elders that held the ocean in place, and knew every thing that the ocean needed. They listened, and were one with the ocean. Every thing that went on with the ocean, every word the ocean spoke to The Council, anything to do with the ocean The Council knew about it. With the Mother Ocean letting the Council know what was going on within it, it was the Merpeople's duties to save and help with what the Mother Ocean could not do her self.
All night the three had been swimming, quiet and nervous as they became closer and closer to The Kingdom. Kagome and her group braced them selves for the outer exterior of their home. The signal that let all traveling merpeople know they were almost home. The Seaweed forest. Long, forever flowing upward stocks of beautiful green, purple, blue, yellow, the most colorful arrangement imaginable for any type of forest, on land or sea
The Seaweed forest was thick and deep, protection from anything that dared tried to take on the Merpeople's Kingdom. If they didn't get caught up and tangled with in the mess, they would surly get lost, and then forever trapped. Only the merpeople knew the way out. A creative insignia that only the Merpeople could see. Kagome swam along side her family, following the signs that led them out. The amazing thing about the Seaweed Forest was that it was forever changing. There was no set pattern that could be deciphered, random and always flowing. Yet another ingenious tactic to keep away unwanted visitors.
Soon enough, the three burst through the forest, their eyes falling onto the beautiful inner wall of the city. A large dome of coral. A sight that would usually give any merperson reason to be happy. But this time, when being called back on such urgent matters made the very blood in Kagome's veins freeze in fear.
Through the gate they entered and the massive city met their gazes. A large, city with buildings and houses. So many houses it was amazing. The population size of the merpeople was amazing. More than that of the humans who lived on land. The city was always moving too. That's what Kagome loved about her home. Every one was happy. With children playing, street merchants selling, lovers held hand in hand together. It was a magnificent place.
However, today it was quiet. The most quiet Kagome had ever seen. The town was depressing and dark. A heavy aura fell down on the town. No one was out, and the streets were bare. The feeling didn't settle well with the two girls who had never seen their world so troubling before.
"It's so quite." Sango stated.
"It's been like this when I left to find you as well. Every one feels The Councils worry and pain. The people are panicking and do not know what to do. We've been waiting for you two so we can figure out what to do."
Kagome and Sango, along with her little brother and whole family were all part of The Council's Army. They were the Councils right hand assistance when it came to anything that troubled the ocean. Down deeper into the city the went, closer and closer the magnificent castle that held the great Council. The three swam by fast, past all the beautiful architecture that made up the walls of the castle, the beautiful art that hung from the walls, their minds didn't even remember turning down the halls that led them to the Chamber room until there they were, knocking on the massive doors, letting The Council inside know they were there and coming in.
The doors opened and in the three swam. The room was dark despite the glow rocks that hung on the wall for light. The aura was dark and made the girls heart stop beating for the first second as they came in.
The three did the traditional bow of honor and respect before they looked on to the council. And there they were all thirteen of the god's of the sea. All positioned in their glorious thrones. Their usual beauty and strength disheveled with the news they had to offer onto their people.
The three took their places along with the other members of the Council's Army, and waited for their words to enlighten them on why every thing was so dark. All in unison the Council rose and addressed their army, and in unison they spoke. Their words equally matched and equally chilling. "A great and terrible fortune is foreseen to fall onto Mother Ocean, she cries. She cries and shakes in fear for what is about to befall on her beautiful life. Every thing we've known, every thing we've protected for all these years are soon to be shattered."
"The stars and the earth are both being used in this plot of destruction under forced will. The demon pirates wish for more power than they already receive. More and more they will take until there is nothing more. In the not so far off future, on the night of a solar eclipse, the earth will weaken, allowing the gates of hell to be seen. Normally such circumstances would be futile, but now, now great evil has been gaining the power to open up those gates on the earth's weakest. And on that day hell will open, and unleash evil that will no longer be able to control. Demon's will poor out, uncontrollable and in rage, and ultimately they will destroy the ocean, and the earth, as the stars sadly watch in pain and anguish. This my army, is why we, The Council of Mother Ocean, have called you. It is your duty to do what ever it is in your power to stop this catastrophe before we all vanish into the heavens."
...
It was dark when Inuyasha opened up his eyes again. He was in a strange and unfamiliar place. A soft bed lay beneath his back. His eyes scanned the room, the rock walls, and many other soft white beds littered the matching rock floors. Inuyasha let out a sigh realizing he was in a hospital room.
The captain's mind was hazy, and couldn't recall why he was there. He moved his hand to his stomach, feeling the itchy bandages that covered his body. His fingers scanned over his torso and shoulders, feeling the stitches that lay beneath.
How long was he out? What kinda injuries did he get to receive such a treatment as stitches? Who or what caused such injuries? What happened on his own ship that he couldn't remember? And why did his heart hurt so much? Inuyasha sat in the silence of the cool room. His skin was on fire. What was wrong with him? Why had he not gotten better. Inuyasha moved his body, an attempt to get up from the bed and find answers to all his questions, when he felt searing pain run through his body. It hurt to move so much.
Inuyasha yelled out in pain. Never before had he been in this much pain. He hissed as he grabbed his side and fell back down into the mattress. It felt like every thing made him hurt, like even the air around him was cutting through his body. Wind?
The sound of a door being opened was heard at the far end of the room. Inuyasha cocked his head and noticed it was his crew mates along with a woman dressed as a doctor. "Miroku, where am I?" Miroku looked slightly shocked, but then smiled at his captain.
"I'm glad you are up." Miroku along with the doctor came to stand next to him at his bed side. A few moments later Shippo came bounding in with a towel in his hands and numerous amounts of shots. Inuyasha looked disgusted at the large needle Shippo was handing to the doctor. Noticing the captain's look of confusion on his face, Miroku decided to inform the captain.
"Shippo here has been a big help. He's been playing nurse the whole time you've been out." Miroku smiled and patted Shippo on the head, and the doctor smiled at Shippo before she pushed the long needle into Inuyasha's arm. Inuyasha let out a small hiss when he felt the liquid from the needle fill his veins.
"How long have I been asleep for?" Inuyasha asked digging the balls of his palm into his eyes. "I can't really remember anything. Were is everybody?"
The room fell silent for a few moments before Miroku was able to collect him self and tell his captain. "Sango and Kagome had left the ship for something in their home. It's been five days now, and they still haven't returned. But they should be back soon. And we are at the city of Calestro. It's a small town. But they had the doctors we needed to take care of you. I just hope the two girls can find us."
"What happened to me? Why am I sick? Why do I have stitches, and why does my body hurt so much!?" Inuyasha felt angered that he hadn't yet known what had been causing him so much pain. Here, even as Miroku talked to him, his body ached, and was on fire.
"That's a good question." the doctor had finally said. "It's quite unusual for some one like you self, and I mean that with no disrespect, but in my line of business I never turn away anybody. Human, demon, pirate, or killer, and even you, who have both human and demon blood running through your veins, it's very odd that with five days of sleep, your condition is the way that it is.
"Even though the injuries you sustained are very difficult injuries to heasl, broken bodes, ripped tendons and muscles, and then a tear in your spinal cord, your body should not be in the pain you've been experiencing. In my opinion, I say there is something deeply heavy weighing on your heart. Something that's made you loose the will to live. And no matter what that is, I advise you to let go. Your health is the most important thing here."
"How am I supposed to let go when I don't remember what the hell got me here and what the hell happened! Tell me! Somebody tell me!" Inuyasha forcefully sat up in his bed and grabbed the woman by the shoulders and looked straight into her eyes. Her calm peaceful eyes.
"Inuyasha." Miroku's voice was cold and quiet, making the atmosphere heavier in the room than what it already was. Miroku sat in silence, thinking of a way he could tell his captain that would not anger him, or hurt him even more. But dodging the sharp subject would probably only make things worse than what they already were. Miroku took a deep heavy breath, knowing that his words would remind Inuyasha of that morning five days past. "There was an attack on the ship."
Inuyasha's voice hitched. The shock was clear on his face. "Kagura, I suspect was behind it all. She betrayed us Inuyasha, and...I'm, I'm not sure why but." Miroku looked into the eyes of his captain, deep and concentrated on his own. He was trying to remember that morning. Trying so hard. "I don't know why. They didn't take anything special. The treasure was all there, the maps, no one got killed, but, for some reason they took Kouga."
Inuyasha looked both shocked and scared. Kouga? Why had they taken Kouga. Inuyasha grabbed at his hair, struggling to remember. What had happened that night? Inuyasha closed his eyes. He remembered seeing Kagura, feeling the sting of her betrayal. They fought, and he lost. Inuyasha's fingers fell to his stitched body and felt the sting of his wounds. "She said something to me." Inuyasha mumbled under his breath. Miroku looked perplexed and gave a worried glance at the doctor, who just stood their, silently watching her patient.
"What did she say to you?" Shippo asked, curious as to what was going on. He wasn't there for the actual battle, so he wanted to know every little detail of the battle that hurt his captain so badly.
"Quiet. I'm trying to remember." Inuyasha scolded Shippo without opening his eyes. The vision of Kagura's face looming over him, and his eyes seeing so much blood. So much of his blood. He could see it, but he couldn't hear what she was saying. Inuyasha forced himself, forced every fiber in his mind to retrace those words, to remember what was said that caused him so much grief. The first thing that came to his ears was her devilish laugh and then the words, "Yes Inuyasha, it is your fault Kouga right now is getting hurt." And then every thing came flowing back to his head like a flash of light hitting your eyes. The scene moved through his vision like he was just there. Kouga telling him those words, the three words. And then being trapped in that room. Kagura destroying his attack, and the sound of her voice. She knew every thing. It was what she was waiting for. And then she, and every other demon left. What was it that made them leave?
"Miroku!! What happened to Kouga after I fell to the ground?!"
Miroku looked slightly startled at the sudden loudness of his captain, but replied anyways. "Hmm..I guess that's when they took him."
"Who took him!?"
"The demons. Who else." Inuyasha looked away from his crew mate and went back to remembering that morning.
"No, there must have been something special. Before she left, she said, 'that's my que to go." something must have happened that caused her to suddenly leave like that. Who was it who captured Kouga. What did they look like?" Inuyasha turned his attention back to Miroku.
Miroku sat quiet for a moment, as he now traced his memories of what had happened. "Well, I know I was fighting the demons, and then I saw you, and as soon as you hit the floor, both Kouga and I looked at each other and began towards you. But, I noticed that the demons didn't put up a fight against me, however, I looked back at Kouga, and all the demons were swarmed against him. And I didn't see to much, but when I looked at Kouga, suddenly, like under a spell he stopped fighting. But there was some one holding him. Some one with long black hair. I didn't see his face, but as soon as they had Kouga, they all vanished back into a cloud of darkness."
"A man with long black hair. I don't know any one like that. Then why? Why did he take Kouga."
"What!? You think this has something to do with you?" Miroku asked. Inuyasha paused for a moment and then looked at Shippo and then to the doctor.
"If you don't mind, will you two leave?" Inuyasha asked the two. Shippo began to have a fit, but the woman kindly nodded, understanding that her patient was doing better, and talking would heal what ever it was that was holding him back. She took Shippo by the hand and promised he could help her with some of her other patients, instantly putting the small child back into a chipper mood.
When the room was left with only Inuyasha and Miroku, and the other two's footsteps stopped echoing in the halls did Inuyasha begin to speak again. "That night, I confessed my feelings to Kouga, and he returned them. I was so happy. But I guess, Kagura was watching and for some reason, that was why she joined the crew. To wait and see who it was I was in love with. And when the attack came, she told me it was all my fault for what was going to happen to Kouga. That if I never told him my love for him, that she would have never figured it out. So I'm guessing, whoever this long black haired person is, I've must have angered him, and sent Kagura to capture who ever it was I loved, to get revenge on me."Inuyasha felt the urge to hit something overwhelm in his body. He felt so angered and frustrated and sad at the same time. He tightened his fist, and slammed them against the bed. "Damn it! Why did I have to tell him! Why did I let my fucking feelings over whelm me, if, if I didn't have a heart this never would have happened!"
"Inuyasha just calm down. Think about this. Do you really think that this black haired person would have gone to all this trouble just to get back at you. No, the biggest proof of that is all those demons he brought. They were excited. They weren't just some jockies sent for backup. They wouldn't have been as excited and willed up if that were the case. There is a greatter meaning behind this attack. Something to do with Kouga, and your love for him, but it's not revenge. If I was the one looking for revenge, I would have made you watch as I killed Kouga. But he did not do that, so he needs Kouga to be alive, at least for a little while."
"But what? What could they want with Kouga, with the person I love?" Miroku fell quiet, thinking of any possible conclusions, but there were to many empty spaces to possible fill in the puzzle. To figure things out, they would need more pieces. Miroku shook his head, "I honestly have no idea what they could want. But that does not mean we can't find out."
Inuyasha slowly nodded his head. "I'm not going to forgive who ever took him away from me. Who ever did this they are going to pay. I swear by it." Miroku cast a glance of concern towards his friends.
"I understand. We wont stop until we get Kouga back. So hurry up and recover so we can leave this place." Miroku put a supportive hand on Inuyasha's shoulder. "I'm sure Kouga is alright, he can hold his own. He put up one hell of a fight back on the ship." Miroku smiled, hopefully trying to regain to confidence and security in his captain, but Inuyasha looked down ward and stern, thought of revenge showing clearly on his face. "Just rest for now alright, and we'll ship off as soon as the doctor sais you are ready." Miroku began to leave when he suddenly heard a surprised and frantic Inuyasha.
"Were is it!? Were did it go!?" Inuyasha searched the bed, and the bed side table, frantically his eyes looked all around the room. "Miroku what did the doctor do with it!?" Inuyasha began to move from the bed, feeling every pain in his body sear with undeniable pain. Miroku moved closer to his captain and settled him back down into the bed, "what? What are you looking for Inuyasha?"
"The medallion! Where is it? Did the doctor take it off!?" Miroku looked puzzled and then got up and went out the door. Few moments later he came back with the doctor and Shippo at his side.
"What is it you are looking for?"
"The medallion! I had it on around my neck! Did you take it!" Inuyasha yelled across the room and tried to stand up once again, but Miroku held him down and looked pleadingly into the doctors eyes.
"No sorry." she shook her head. "There was no medallion on you when you came in." Inuyasha felt his blood begin to panic. Where had it gone?
"Maybe it's on the ship." Shippo stated looking worried about his captain. "Hasn't the clasp been slightly loose lately. Maybe it fell off while you were in the ship." Inuyasha felt a flood of hope. Maybe it was, maybe it had fallen off when he was in his room. When he had been so desperate to get out he wouldn't even listen to his aching shoulder, he might have not heard the sound of the object hitting the wooden floor.
"That's a good idea Shippo. How about you go back on board, and search every were and see if its there." Miroku said giving the small boy the new quest. Shippo nodded with determination and bound off towards the ship. Inuyasha's worries were lessened by the hope it would be on the ship, but still, the hope did not dwindle the anxiety that filled every fiber of his being.
Inuyasha took his hand to his head, and rubbed his temples. "Hnn. My head hurts."
"Just lay back and relax, try not to think of anything and please go back to sleep." the doctor came to Inuyasha's side and lay him down against the bed. "It's probably the anabiotic I gave you a little while ago. Your body fighting the fever and infection in your body right now, so you need all the rest you can get." Inuyasha closed his eyes and tried his best to fall asleep. He listened to Miroku's and the doctors foot steps vanish, but sleep still did not take him.
The scene of the attack flew over his mind over and over again. If only he could take back time. He would have never told Kouga his feelings if he knew this was going to happen. Why so suddenly, when he thought he was happy, why did they have to take every thing away? Inuyasha's heart ached with pain of loss. What could they be doing to Kouga? Was he alright?
Inuyasha let his eyes open, with anger and rage. If they harm him, Inuyasha thought, they will wish they never been born. Inuyasha felt the fiery urge to kill, to seek revenge, to scream, and feel the blood of Kagura and that black haired man stain his sword. Inuyasha knew that he would do anything in his power to get Kouga back, no matter what it took.
...
Shippo came running onto the ship as fast as he could. Is first thought was to look on the deck. It might have fallen off during the battle, and maybe kicked around a little bit. So Shippo searched every nook and cranny of the deck, but to no avail. His heart panicked when he wondered if it could have possibly fallen over board during the battle, or maybe one of the demons took it.
Shippo shook his head in frustration. "NO! Negative thinking wont help!" Shippo yelled as he next ran into Inuyasha's room. It was quiet and was in a mess. Did the demon's ransack the place? Shippo thought, unknowing of the fact that Inuyasha had been locked in that very room on the night of the attack and caused the mess himself. Maps and treasure and sheets, and clothing were all thrown about in the room.
Shippo ran frantically about the room, throwing every thing he could onto the bed and giving every thing a big shake just incase the precious metal had been tangled in the fabric. But once all the clothing and sheets were thrown miserable upon the bed, Shippo still could not find what he had been sent to look for.
Shippo fell to the ground, out of breath, and thinking quickly as to were it could be at. The kitchen? The hall? The upper deck? The crows nest? Shippo thought as he looked around, still seeing lots of strewn about ancient maps. Shippo carefully began to pick up the fragile paper and put them neatly on top of the hard wooden desk.
There were so many maps, Shippo thought as he picked one up. The oldest looking one with water stains and fading ink. Shippo tried to read the map, trying to figure out the strange letters that he had been learning how to read, but the words were hard for him to understand and later gave up on reading it.
Shippo bent down underneath the desk when he noticed another loose map and grabbed for it, and to his utter surprise, there it was, Inuyasha's precious treasure tucked into the corner of the desk. How had it gotten over here Shippo wasn't sure, but he was happy non the less. He quickly picked it up and examined the lost item. Just as he had thought, the clasp had broken. They would have to fix it at the towns gold smith, but Inuyasha would be happy that it was safe.
Shippo wrapped the long chain around his small wrist, and held tightly to the medallion and bolted out of Inuyasha's room.
"Ah! Shippo!" Kagome's voice rang in the small fox child. Shippo stopped and turned to see Kagome, along with Sango coming from the lower deck.
"Kagome! Sango! You're back!" Shippo happily bounded into Kagome's arms, Kirara was already in Sango's. "I missed you guys so much!" Shippo was smiling, but tears were rolling down his eyes at the same time. "So much has happened since you two have been gone. Horrible things." Sango and Kagome both gave each other worried glances.
"What happened?" Sango asked.
"There was an attack, Inuyasha is hurt, Kagura betrayed us, and Kouga was taken!"
yay! Did this get finished to soon? Does it seem rushed? I don't know, but I'm more into this story now because now the real main plot is thickening! Yes yes. This is what I've been waiting for! XD So I hope you guys like it, the major plot anyways, and hurray for me finishing chapter ten!
Also, if any one has any question, please feel free to ask. i have a tendancy to not explain things to their fullest. so any questions, ask away, as long as they are non spoiler questions.
(AN 1...I know writing the wind scar being the strongest attack is all old and crap, but it worked right, am I right? Like how I played that into the story? XD so proud.
